It's a good idea to learn a little about roller coasters before you ride your first ones. Specific parks will usually rank the roller coasters on intensity, so you can learn more about the particular roller coasters you're going to visit when you get there and get the park map, or you can check out the specific coasters online.  Wooden roller coasters are the oldest and most classic coasters. Usually operated on chain-lifts, they'll go very fast, but never go upside down or in complicated loops, for the most part. Steel-track roller coasters are much more complex, featuring lots of twists and turns, often upside down. But some steel coasters are good because they will have more turns and not as many drops.  They will also be less rickety and smoother than wooden ones. There are some small steel coasters which are great for first time as wooden coasters are very bumpy. If you're scared of the big drops, look for a roller coaster with a curved drop instead of a straight drop, so you'll get a gradual ride and won't feel as if you're plunging. You can also choose a launched ride, which accelerates you at high speeds instead of dropping you off of a large hill, though these are just as intense in some cases.  It may seem silly, but most kid rides allow anyone to ride, and can be a great start. Try not to find out specific things like how tall the coaster is, how fast it goes, and other specific "scary" numbers. It is a good idea, though, to check out the twists and turns so you can brace your body and know what to expect from the ride and avoid rides that do stuff you're intimidated by.  Find these things out after you ride so you can tell others and be proud of yourself. Millions of people ride roller coasters every year and have a blast doing it. There's little to fear from the roller coaster, and lots of fun to be had. Talking about it with enthusiasts is a great way to get interested and excited in roller coasters for yourself.  Also talk to people who were scared but now love them as it will help you see what...

It's a gray app that contains an image of gears (⚙) and is typically found on your home screen. It's at the top of the menu. If you are running an older version of iOS, instead tap iCloud. If you don't have an Apple ID, tap Don't have an Apple ID or forgot it? below the password field on the screen, and follow the on-screen prompts to set up your free Apple ID and iCloud account. It's in the upper-right corner of the screen. The screen will intermittently display the message "Signing into iCloud" as it accesses your data.

It's a gray app that contains gears (⚙) and is typically located on the home screen. Your device must be signed in to the Apple ID affiliated with your Apple Music membership or iTunes Match subscription, and the desktop on which your iTunes music library resides. It's near the center of the menu. It's at the top of the screen and will turn green. It's in the middle of the menu.  Slide Cellular Data to the "On" (green) or "Off" (white) position to enable or disable iCloud downloads over your mobile data network. Scroll down and slide Automatic Downloads to the "On" (green) or "Off" (white) position to enable or disable the automatic download of new music purchases to all of the devices signed in to your iCloud account.

It's a green app with a white "X" on it. If you would rather use a pre-existing Excel document, instead double-click the Excel document in question. It's in the top-left side of the "Template" window. Doing so will select it. This is the number from which the rest of the column will be selected. For example, you might type in your yearly salary here. To do so, you'll type in a negative version of the number you wish to subtract (e.g., if you wish to subtract 300, type in "-300").  You'll type in one subtraction per cell. Make sure each of the numbers you enter are in the same column as the main number. For the salary example, you'd likely type "-" followed by an expense for each box. This time, the cell doesn't need to be in the same column as the main number. Exclude the quotation marks. Doing so will set up the cell for a formula. The "SUM" command adds items together. There isn't an official "subtract" command, which is why you enter numbers in the negative format above. This command adds all cells in a column from the first cell number value through the last cell number value. For example, if the K1 cell is your main number and the last cell in the column with data in it is K10, you'd type "(K1:K10)". Doing so will run the formula in your selected cell, thereby replacing the formula with the final total.

It's a green box with a white "X" on it. The Microsoft Excel home page will open. This option is in the upper-left side of the Excel home page. A blank spreadsheet will open. On Mac, skip this step if Excel opens to a blank document. Your heading should include the following information:   Company name - The name of the company to whom the invoice funds will be allocated.  Descriptor - The word "Invoice" or a description of the type of invoice it is, such as "Price Quote" if you're quoting a price for your services to a client instead of billing for them.  Date - The date on which you're writing the invoice.  Number - The invoice number. You can either use a global numbering system for all your clients or individual numbering for each client. If you choose to number for each client, you can include the client name or a form of it in the invoice number, such as "Westwood1." This information should appear near the top of the invoice, with your information above the client's.  Your contact information should include your name, your company's address, a phone number, and an email address. Your client's information should include the company name, the name of the accounts payable person, and the client address. You can also include the client's phone and email address. You can devote a column to a short description of the product or service, a column to quantity, a column to unit price or rate, and a calculated column for the total price for the quantity purchased of that item. This should appear below the calculated column of individual charges and can be generated with Excel's SUM function.  For example: if you have $13 of work in cell B3 and $27 of work in B4, you might put the formula =SUM(B3,B4) in cell B5 to display $40 in that cell. If you used an hourly rate (e.g., $30) in cell B3 and a number of hours (e.g., 3) in B4, you would instead write =SUM(B3*B4) in cell B5. This can appear either above or below the billing information. Common payment terms are "Due on receipt," "Due within 14 days," "Due within 30...

You must be connected to the Internet in order to search for templates. Click a template that you want to use to open it in a window. This button is to the right of the template's preview. Doing so will open the template in Microsoft Excel. For example, most templates have "Company" written across the top; you would replace this heading with your company's name. To edit text on the Excel document, double-click the text item, then remove the text item or replace it with your own. Enter any information required by your invoice template to ensure that the final total matches what you're owed.  For example, some invoice templates will require you to enter an hourly rate or a fixed charge. Most invoice templates use formulas to combine your entered hourly and the number of hours worked in the "Final Total" box. Click File in the upper-left side of the page, click Save As, double-click a save location, enter your invoice's name, and click Save. This will save your customized invoice in your selected save location. Your invoice is now ready to be sent.

It's a lot easier to come up with reasons to do other things, and avoid doing your homework. But if you struggle to finish and find the time to complete your homework on a regular basis, this kind of procrastination is probably to blame. The easiest way to steal extra time for your homework? Just do it. Now.  Do you really need an hour of TV or computer after school to decompress? It might be easier to just dive into your homework and get it done while the skills are still fresh in your mind. Waiting a couple hours means you'll have to review your notes and try to get back to the same place you already were. Do it while it's fresh. If you've got three days to read an assignment, don't wait until the last evening to do it all. Space it out and give yourself more time to finish. Just because you've got a due date that's a long time away doesn't mean it wouldn't be easier to finish now. Stay ahead of the game. Try either waking up earlier or going to bed later. But don't get too tired! You'd be surprised how much time you've probably got hidden throughout the day that you might be able to use more effectively. A long bus ride is a great opportunity to do some of your less-intense homework, or at least get started on looking through it to plan how you'll do it when you get home.  If you've got to read a bunch of stuff for homework, read on the bus. Pop in some headphones to white noise that'll drown out the shouting of other students and tune into your book. The bus can be distracting, or it can be a great resource. Since it's full of your classmates, try to get other students to work with you and get things done more quickly. Work together on the math problems and try to figure out things together. It's not cheating if everyone's doing the work and no one's just copying. Also, you might make some new friends while you're at it! Sometimes passing periods are quite long, as much as 10 minutes. If you get to your next class quickly without dallying in the hallway to talk to your friends, you can steal as much as an...

It's a whole lot easier to be arrogant about something if you're the best in the room. The less you have to do to prove your arrogance, the better off and more convincing your verbal brags will be down the road. Often, we think of arrogance as being part of competition in sports or in office environments, but it also applies to social interactions, lifestyle, relationships, and lots of other areas of life. Strive to be the best in everything you do. Train hard and devote your time to whatever craft you hope to excel in. Arrogance just comes across like ignorance if you're bragging about something you don't even fully understand, or practice. Even if people don't like you, they need to take notice when you walk into a room. Have a silent presence and aura by taking the steps necessary to control people with your body language, reflecting your high status and your value. To command people's attention without words:  Stand up straight at all times, keeping your shoulders back and your head up and at attention. Move purposefully. Don't wander around rooms, or take little half-steps toward the bar. Walk right up to it at full-stride and grab a place at the table. Smile less. If you want to communicate your superiority, try your best to remain aloof and gaze critically at others as they complete tasks. Compete regularly to keep your skills sharp and your hunger for winning large. It's much better to brag and boast about things that other people already know or have seen you do, making your boasts that much more believable. Make an effort to win things that you know you can win with your skills and your arrogant edge.  The earlier your start competing, the better. If you instill a serious competitive edge in yourself early in life, it'll carry through your adult years. Be competitive in all facets of your life. When Rafael Nadal was injured and needed to recover from competitive tennis, he started playing high-stakes poker, becoming obsessed, just to keep that arrogant edge. Arrogant people need to prove their...

It's absolutely vital that your cold stuff stays cold. To this end:  Use an appliance thermometer to make sure your food stays below 40ºF/4.4ºC. Food that doesn't stay cold will start to go bad within two hours. Use thermally lined/insulated picnic/lunch bags or coolers to keep foods cool. Add ice packs or ice to keep it even cooler. The food should be packed into these the moment it is removed from the refrigerator. Always allow for thorough chilling time if you're baking or cooking foods to take. If you have a vehicle/portable fridge, keep your cold foods in it until they're ready to be used. If you're bringing hot food to the tailgate party, you must keep it hot. To keep food like soup hot, take your insulated container, fill it with boiling water and let it sit for 2 minutes. Empty it and then fill the container with the piping hot food. This will keep the food steaming for several hours. Meat and poultry need to reach the correct internal temperature while grilling. So get out your food thermometer, and check the temperature before you serve:  Hamburger patties and pork need to reach at least 160ºF/71.1ºC Chicken needs to hit a smoking hot 170ºF/76.6ºC before serving Beef, lamb, and pork need to be cooked to 165ºF/73.8ºC Medium rare beef, veal, and lamb steaks need to be cooked to 145ºF/62.7ºC Poultry breast meat needs to be cooked to 170ºF/76.6ºC Dark meat needs to be cooked to 180ºF/82.2ºC All pork needs to be cooked to 160ºF/71.10C.

It's all too easy to get wrapped up in ourselves and forget that the rest of the world exists separate to us. By constantly making yours bigger and bigger, you'll have a clearer perspective on what really matters and just how good you have it. Talk to strangers. This is the easiest way to broaden your horizons, learn something, and benefit from others. You may be thinking, "That's a little creepy," but think about how much people love to be given attention. Talking to a stranger could be an exciting point in both of your days. Too often we're guilty of thinking globally. "I failed at this" gets turned into, "I'm a failure." Maybe in your world, yes, you failed at whatever you tried to do. But are you a failure? Heck no. Not even close. Nothing is all good or all bad. Nor are feelings facts. Thinking "I'm an abject failure" is guilty of both those things. There is no way you're all that bad (it's impossible) and that's a feeling that you're misconstruing. If you catch yourself thinking like that, stop. Get back on the train to the real world where you're just as good as everyone else (and you are). Thinking as such is paranoid. Most people are too busy thinking about themselves, how they come off, and the next time they'll be able to talk to worry about sabotaging you. This gives you the reins for your world. Now what are you going to do with them? The only thing that's possible is that you are out to get you. Are you your own worst critic? If so, know that it's totally common, but it's not the healthiest of habits. Try to develop self-compassion. Treat yourself like you would treat one of your friends. If someone asks for your help, do it. You may not be in the mood, you may even want to sulk a bit, but helping someone else will take your mind off your current woes -- and make you feel good about helping them. This is all about knowing you're a good person. Sometimes it's easy to forget. But when we take physical action, it becomes pretty hard to ignore. If you see an opportunity (all you have to do is keep...

It's as simple as that! The goal is to burn more calories than you consume in a given day.  One pound equals 3,500 calories, meaning you will have to burn 3,500 calories more than you consume in order to lose one pound.  Reduce your caloric intake by cutting portion sizes. Be sure to read the labels on everything you eat so that you can keep track of your calories. Eat small meals and snacks throughout the day. This will keep your metabolism fast and prevent your body from storing extra fat. Do aerobic exercises like running, hiking, swimming and biking. These will help speed up your metabolism and burn calories. Remember that exercise burns calories, but cannot alone make you lose weight. You will absolutely have to eat less in order to lose weight. Your metabolism slows down dramatically while you sleep, so it will take longer for the food to digest. Plus, eating early on in the day will give you the energy you need to go about your daily activities. Skipping meals will force your body into starvation mode, causing it to store extra fat.  Think of your metabolism as a fire, and food as its fuel. If you want to keep the fire strong, you will have to keep adding twigs, newspaper, and logs to it. If you stop adding these things to the fire, it will eventually die out. Similarly, if you starve yourself, your metabolism will get weaker and weaker over time. It's better to eat four or five small meals throughout the day than to eat two or three large ones, because your body will have more time to digest the food. Consider eating smaller meals with snacks in between. This will keep your metabolism working throughout the day. Try these healthy snacks for in between meals: a piece of fruit like a banana or apple, a cup of Greek yogurt, a nutrition bar, some carrots and hummus or a small salad with light dressing. Did you know that the human body often confuses hunger and thirst? If you are craving food but are not actually hungry, then chances are that your body is dehydrated. You should drink a minimum of 8 cups of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Кушайте меньше и побольше упражняйтесь. Прекратите потребление пищи за два часа до сна. Не пропускайте приемы пищи. Пейте много воды. Кушайте овощи, фрукты и белковые продукты с малым содержанием жира.

It's at the top of the window. Clicking it prompts a drop-down menu. You'll find this option in the Language drop-down menu. A pop-out menu will appear. It's in the pop-out menu. Most programmers' first experiences with C++ involve creating a program that says "Hello, World!" when run, so that's what you'll do here. Type in // followed by your program's title (e.g., "My first program"), then press ↵ Enter.  Any text in a line that's typed after two slash marks won't be read as code. For example: to entitle your program "Hi Earth", you'd type //Hi Earth into Notepad++. Type #include <iostream> into Notepad++, then press ↵ Enter. This command instructs C++ to run the following lines of code as a program. Type int main () into Notepad++, then press ↵ Enter. Type { into Notepad++, then press ↵ Enter. Your program's main code will go between this open bracket and a closed bracket later. Type std::cout << "Hello World!"; into Notepad++ and press ↵ Enter. Type } into Notepad++. This closes the program's execution phase. It should look something like this:  //Hi Earth #include <iostream> int main () { std::cout << "Hello World!"; } Click File, then click Save As... in the drop-down menu, enter a name for your program, select a save location, and click Save.

It's becoming more and more of a rat race out there. Students have to study more to succeed, workers have to work harder to climb the ladder, and the stakes are higher and higher. It's easy to get wrapped up in school and work, thinking we "have to" or "should," but that is so far from the truth. We all need time for fun or life will get us down in the dumps before we realize it. Make it a point to take a night or two off for yourself. Hang out with your friends and family. This will strengthen your connections with those around you, and help you feel happy and secure. It seems like everyone these days is doing some sort of balancing act, and most of the time it’s to their detriment. Instead of spreading yourself thin and pulling out your hair, limit what you take on. Say no when need to. Investing your time in just a few things will prove much more fruitful, make you feel productive, and keep you breathing calmly. It's okay to say no sometimes, even to favors that your friends ask. You cannot be three places at once and handle three people's problems. If you feel yourself being spread thin, take a cue from yourself and relax. It's all your body needs. Everyone goes through mood swings. If you know when you’re going to experience bad moods or feel vulnerable, you can counteract it. For some, it’s hormonal. For others, it’s an old anniversary, birthdays, or death. Accept that you’ll feel vulnerable during this time and surround yourself with others, make plans, and keep your mind off of it until it passes. Being aware of your situation is the best thing you can do for yourself. Knowing how you feel when you feel it will make any emotion easier to handle and deal with as you please. It'll be easier to talk about with others, it'll be easier to make sense of, and it'll then be easier for it to go away. If you were prescribed medication for a previous depressive episode, don't stop taking it when you feel better. In fact, it's recommended that you continue taking it for 6 months afterward to keep your body in the...

It's best if the stuffed animal looks like something your cat would want to chase, like a mouse. Stuffed toys made with materials that feel similar to wool, fur, or fleece will be most attractive to your cat. You will also need glue and a straw. Make the hole just big enough for the end of the straw to fit through. You want to make the toy as safe as possible for your cat to play with and reduce the risk of choking. Stick the straw inside the stuffed animal and secure it in place. It is recommended that you not use tape for this step, as it is less secure and the tape or stuffing inside could become a choking hazard for your cat. For this reason it is also recommended that you remove the eyes, if they are plastic pieces fixed to the cloth. Your cat won't think it looks any less like a mouse without the beady eyes, and it won't try to chew or swallow them if they're removed from the beginning. Allow your cat to pounce on it, or nibble on it. However, do not leave your cat unattended with this toy, as your cat could hurt itself.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если из отверстия начинает выпирать набивка, уберите ее излишки, чтобы кошка не захотела попробовать вытащить и съесть содержимое игрушки. Нанесите немного клея на конец палочки. Возьмитесь за свободный конец палочки и помашите игрушкой перед кошкой.


It's best not to actually bring a fish home until your tank is set up, cycled and ready to go. That way you'll be able to help the betta make the transition to its new home as soon as possible. Go to the pet store and choose a new betta to bring home. Remember, every betta needs its own tank; even females.  Look for an active, healthy betta with a brightly-colored body and undamaged fins. If a betta seems to be floating aimlessly, it may be sick. Choose a one that swims strongly. Float the bag or cup in the tank for twenty minutes to an hour. Keep the bag closed and set the bagged betta into the tank so that the water inside the bag comes to the same temperature as the tank water. This will prevent the betta from getting a temperature shock when it enters the tank. After about one hour, it's time to release the fish. Open the bag and let the fish swim freely into the tank. From now on, care for the betta as follows:  Feed the betta once or twice a day. Provide a varied diet of high-quality betta pellets, frozen & live foods.  Freeze-dried foods are more likely to cause boating and it has little to no nutritional value, it should be used as an occasional bi-weekly treat or rightfully avoided. Do not overfeed, or your betta will become very bloated. If you have a tank that is 5 to 10 gallons (18.9 to 37.9 L), you will need to change out 25% percent of the water every week to maintain a healthy tank. To change the water,  Use a gravel vacuum/siphon to suck debris up into a bucket until you have removed the correct amount of water. You do not need to remove your fish from the tank as you clean it. Dump the water out into the sink, bathtub, or shower and fill it up with clean water. Remember to condition it! Pour in the fresh water. Reintroduce your betta to the tank after the water has heated to the correct temperature. Your cleaning method will depend on the type and size of your chosen tank. Scrub the sides of the tank and any decorations that have collected waste and debris with an unused toothbrush.  Use...

It's best to ensure that your Android has a constant power source during the restore process. This will also help make sure that your Android wasn't just low on power. These are the most common buttons to enter Recovery Mode for Android, but some devices use a different combination. If you're using a Samsung Galaxy device, press and hold Power + Volume Up + Home You'll see the Android mascot and a text menu appear on the screen. If your device still does not power on and display the recovery menu, and you've done everything else in this article, it may be time for a replacement. Pressing these will let you scroll through the options. The Power button selects your highlighted menu option.  This confirms the restore and begins the wiping process. All of the data will be erased during the reset. This may take 20 minutes or so to complete. Once the restore is complete, you'll be taken through the new device setup. If you log back in with your Google account, all of your Google Cloud data will be restored, such as contacts and calendar data.

It's best to get all of your piercings done at professional piercing shops. Often, piercing shops are combined with tattoo shops, but don't let that scare you. The piercers in these shops are always properly licensed and have a great deal of experience. Also, the sterilization process at these shops is much more strict than at any other piercing locations.  These piercers give piercings with sterilized needles and usually use small rings/hoops. Even if a young child wants to get their ears pierced, you can take them to a tattoo/piercing shop. These shops usually have a jewelry selection for you to choose from. They can help you choose the right earrings if you're unsure of what to get. These stores have a huge variety of earrings to choose from and usually offer free piercing with the purchase of a pair of earrings. Most of the jewelry in stores such as these tends to be lower quality, so ask for assistance in finding higher quality jewelry for your piercing.  These stores do piercings with piercing guns and usually pierce with studs. These stores and kiosks are usually found in malls and shopping centers. Medical Ear Piercing clinics are usually picked by parents when they're looking to get their children's ears pierced. The staff at these places are always professional trained and the piercing is done in a completely sterile environment.  There are a few Medical Ear Piercing clinics around the country, but these clinics are far less popular than piercing shops or piercing stores. You must book an appointment to get your ears pierced at one of these clinics.  Other doctor's offices and walk-in clinics sometimes do piercings as well.

It's best to introduce the pets in your home. Bringing a dog to meet a cat at an animal shelter or vice versa may be extremely traumatic, particularly for the cat. For this reason, most animal experts recommend introducing your pets at home. If you're bringing home a cat to a home that's always been a dog's home (or vice versa), chances are the dog will be more likely to chase the cat, and the cat will be more likely to antagonize and even attack the dog. If you're adopting a new pet to live at home with an existing pet, ask the staff at the shelter or adoption office whether they have any cats that will get along with dogs or dogs that will get along with cats, as the case may be. This way you know that bringing home your new pet will be more of a minor adjustment period, rather than an agonizing project. Though it may be difficult to make the introductions a relatively stress-free occasion, it's important for the wellbeing of both animals. Some basic training and reward reinforcement can go a long way towards getting your two pets acquainted.  Use treats for both the cat and dog. Choose treats that you know each animal will enjoy, though cats may be more picky. Try tuna or chunks of chicken as a desirable treat for your cat.   Train your dog, or refresh his training, on key goals like learning to stay, come on command, and "leave it". This training should be done before your bring home a cat, or before you bring the dog home to a cat, as it will be crucial in getting your dog to disengage when he begins to chase or pester your cat.  Take your dog running or let him run around a fenced-in yard before introducing the cat and dog. This will help take some of the energy out of your dog, making him less likely to chase the cat during their introduction. This should be done under strict supervision. Keep your dog on a short leash, and if he seems like he wants to chase the cat, keep both cat and dog distracted by feeding them their respective treats. It may be helpful to have a second person in the room, so that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите подходящее место. Выберите животное, которое сможет ужиться с вашим питомцем. Постарайтесь сделать знакомство мирным. Познакомьте животных. Похвалите кошку и собаку.


It's best to start with clean hands when providing a massage to someone. Scrub your hands in soap and warm water. You should spend at least 20 seconds washing your hands. Wet heat can help the person relax. You can have them take a bath, for instance. Another option is dampening a towel and heating it up in the microwave until it's warm. Wrap the person's head in it for 10 to 15 minutes. It can help to run a brush through the person's hair first so that you aren't catching your fingers on tangles. However, you can also just use your fingers to work through any big tangles before you start the massage. If you hit a tangle later, don't try to pull it out, as you'll jolt the person out of their relaxed state. Most kitchen oils will work for this purpose, as will massage oils. You can use avocado, coconut, almond, or mustard oil, to name a few. Begin on the sides. Massage the oil into the scalp with your fingers and thumbs, moving up to the top of the head. Make sure you get both the front and back of the head, as well. Warm the oil up in your hands first, and start with a small amount. You can always add more.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вымойте руки. Начните с влажного согревания. Расчешите волосы. Нанесите масло.


It's common to feel a scratchiness or discomfort in your eye after you have removed the offending object. If you continue to feel discomfort for more than a day after removing the object, consult a physician. There are many precautionary measures to protect eye during the recovery process. These include:  Alerting and informing an eye care professional if new symptoms arise or if pain becomes unbearable Following the advice of your eye care professional, if you consulted one Protecting eyes from ultraviolet  light or bright light  by wearing sunglasses when outdoors Avoiding the use of contact lenses until your eye has healed Avoiding hand exposure to eye area and washing hands before touching eye area Taking all prescribed  medication as advised by your physician (he may prescribe an NSAID for the pain or antibiotics if you wear contacts, as this can make you susceptible to infection) If the situation gets better, no further action is necessary. If the situation gets worse, see an eye-care professional. Here are the signs to be on the lookout for after removing an item from your eye::  Blurred or double vision Pain that continues or increases Blood that covers part of the iris (or colored part of the eye) Sensitivity to light Other signs of infection such as discharge, redness, sores around the eye, or a fever

It's crucial to talk to your doctor (possibly an allergist) if you suspect you have a food allergy.  They will be able to guide you on what's appropriate as far as diet, diagnostic tests and treatment.  Tell your doctor about your symptoms. While a food allergy can cause some of the same symptoms an intolerance or sensitivity, other symptoms include: rash, hives, itchy skin, shortness of breath, chest pain, or even a sudden drop in blood pressure. A food allergy usually comes on suddenly after exposure and can be life-threatening.  Never start a restrictive or elimination diet prior to talking to your doctor or a allergy certified registered dietitian. Do not eat any foods that you think could cause life threatening allergic responses unless under the care of a physician. If symptoms do not resolve after eliminating the suspected offending food, go back to the doctor for further evaluation. Logging all your meals, snacks and beverages along with any symptoms you may experience can help you figure out what type of sensitivity you have and to what food. It will be difficult to determine what food is causing you symptoms without a journal.  It might be wise to do your journal by hand.  Start with a notebook and jot down everything you consume (including any supplements or medications) and symptoms you experience.  Many food journaling apps are not detailed enough for what you should be tracking. Make sure to note the time you ate and the time you experience symptoms (if at all).  Typical food sensitivities symptoms may include:  nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhea, stomach cramping and gas. Also include the serving size of the foods you consume.  For example, some individuals have an extreme lactose intolerance (meaning they cannot tolerate any lactose), but others may have a mild lactose intolerance (and can tolerate small doses of lactose). By logging how much you eat, you can gauge the amount of your body will tolerate without adverse symptoms. To help you decide what food is giving you trouble, you...

It's difficult to calm your imagination and your mind if you are going until you try to fall asleep. Keeping your body and mind active before bed makes it nearly impossible to shut it off so you can sleep. To help this, establish a pre-sleep routine. This helps wind your body down so that it and your mind is relaxed when you finally crawl into bed. Plus, routine helps your body know what's coming when you do those activities or when it's that time of day. Start your routine at least 30 minutes you plan on falling asleep. Try reading, doing light stretches or yoga, listening to relaxing music, or watching some light, calming television.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следуйте привычному для вас распорядку перед сном.


It's easy to fall into a case of early senioritis - where you don't want to do any of your schoolwork, because you feel like you're almost done. However, allowing your grades to drop will show up on your transcripts, which can potentially harm your opportunities for colleges and jobs. If you slack off too much or skip school, you may even put your graduation at risk. Don't let the lack of motivation in junior year bite you later on! Remember, if you fail a class in junior year, you don't have a lot of time to make it up - you'll either have to take summer school, which will take time away from your summer, or you'll have to take it again in senior year, which can result in you being overly stressed out. You'll need to meet your school's credit requirement in order to graduate, and by the time you're in junior year, you'll only have two years to make up any missing credits. Talk to your school counselor to make sure you're on track with your credits, to make plans for junior and senior year, and to figure out how to make up any missing or incomplete credits.  You'll usually be encouraged to take advanced classes in junior year, though it's best to only take advanced classes that you can handle and in subjects you enjoy.  Usually, your school's mandatory classes will cover a fair amount of your needed credits, but just taking mandatory classes won't get you all the credits you need. Check with your school counselor to see what you still need. If you're in AP or IB classes, or even if you just want the college credit, it's a good idea to pay attention to your classes and start studying for the advanced tests. Look up when the testing dates are and mark them down, and set aside time to study for them. It'll make it easier to achieve high scores - especially if your teachers are also giving you advice for the tests! You probably already have a homework schedule figured out from freshman or sophomore year; now's not the time to let it slide, even amongst college visits or your work. Junior year is often one of the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не ограничивайтесь обязательным минимум на учебе. Уделяйте основное внимание своим профильным предметам. Попробуйте заниматься по учебникам, выходящими за программу 10 класса, самостоятельно. Находите время на выполнение домашних заданий.


It's easy to ignore or deny your fears, even to yourself. But courage can't come into play unless you have a fear to face down. By owning your feelings you've taken the first step toward gaining control over the situation.  Name your fear. Sometimes fear makes itself known immediately, clearly, and other times it’s more difficult to name those anxious feelings lurking in the back of your mind. Let your fear rise to the surface and give it a name. It may be concrete (like a fear of cats) or situational (like a fear of being called on in class). Don’t judge your fears. Acknowledge what comes up with no attachment to “good” or “bad.” Is it something obvious, like the sight of a snake on a trail? Maybe passing your career counselor's office door sends your mind into a downward spiral when you walk down the corridor in your high school. Figure out everything that triggers your fear. The more you can understand your fear, the better. Does your fear cause you to stay in bed instead of getting up and going to a class you're afraid of failing? Do you avoid visiting your family in another state because you don't want to get on a plane? Figure out exactly what power your fear has over your mind and behavior. Now that you better understand your fear, think about what exactly you want to change. Think about yourself experiencing life without your fear. How do you feel?  For example:  If your fear is commitment, imagine yourself happily with a partner. If your fear is heights, imagine yourself conquering a tough hike. Connect with the feeling of accomplishment. If your fear is spiders, imagine yourself seeing a spider and feeling neutral.

TL;DR in Russian:

Признайте свои конкретные страхи. Осознайте провоцирующие факторы. Спросите себя, насколько сильно этот страх сдерживает и контролирует вас? Представьте желаемый результат.


It's easy to keep the fantasy of some kind of relationship alive with the idea of staying friends. You may be able to be friends in the long run, but it's best to focus on yourself for a while and allow your feelings to die down before trying to have any kind of friendship with your ex. Trying to stay in contact can make the breakup worse if you aren't really over him or if he still has residual feelings for you.  It may also be really hard to see him with the new girl. Protect yourself from that emotional pain by keeping your distance, at least for a little while. Avoid interacting or seeing him on social media and avoid texting or calling. You may also want to get rid of anything that reminds you of him such as photos or gifts. Breakups are painful but sometimes necessary. Trying to get back together will only extend the grieving process, and if he's with someone new, it'll likely just be you trying to repair the relationship, which puts you in a bad position where it's easy to continue getting hurt. If he tries to keep something going while talking to the new girl, avoid this messy situation. Show him and everyone around you that you have the maturity to maintain a clean break, even if he doesn't. Try to take the higher road and avoid gossiping about what he did. You may feel like you need to vent, but this can create problems if you have mutual friends. Framing situations positively is better for your own mental health than venting in a negative way.  Try to understand his position. He may be doing what he thinks is best for his life. If he wasn't interested in trying to salvage your relationship, then either way, it's the best case scenario long-term for you to have broken up. If someone asks about the breakup, you can say "It's been a difficult experience for me, but I wish him the best regardless." You may not like it, and you don't have to, but try to understand that the decision has been made and the best thing for you to do is move on, as painful as that can be. Even if you invested a lot of time...

TL;DR in Russian:

Держитесь от парня подальше. Подавите желание воссоединиться. Отзывайтесь о нем положительно. Уважайте его решение. Не впутывайте другую девушку в это.


It's easy to sink a ton of time during your day into checking your email. This is a common problem especially in office settings. Because of this, it's a good idea to try to change your habits to reduce the amount of time you spend dealing with your email. Set limits, giving yourself only two or three short periods during the day, when you are "allowed" to check your email.  For example, check your email at 9 am, 1:30 pm, and 5:00 pm, and spend no more than 10 minutes going through your messages at those times. If you are a business owner or manager, you can set these rules for your staff in order to help productivity, too. One bad habit that many people have is replying to an email just to be polite. They treat it like a conversation but what it really does is create more email for everyone. Don't feel compelled to reply to an email using responses like "have a good day" or "thanks". Generally, you should only reply to acknowledge that you got a message if it's important that the other person knows you got it. For example, if someone sends you some paperwork, it's better to respond by returning the filled paperwork or with a message saying when they can expect the papers back. Emails are designed for quick, one off messages. The sort of thing where you need to exchange no more than two or three messages to complete your conversation. If you need to send many messages, or have more of a conversation, then meeting in person or talking over the phone will save both of you time and significantly reduce the number of emails you need to check. If you want to help reduce how much time you spend with your email and also reduce the amount of email that other people have to read, try setting a limit for the number of messages you can send in a day. This will make you think a bit more about how important the message is and if it really needs to be sent.  For example, if you know that you need to send a message to your boss later, you might be less inclined to email everyone about your daughter's canned food drive. If...

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите время для проверки электронной почты. Не пишите письма просто из вежливости. Используйте другие средства связи. Ограничьте количество писем, отправляемых ежедневно, если вы хотите сэкономить время на работу с электронной почтой и уменьшить количество электронных писем.


It's estimated that these ships destroy hundreds of yards of delicate coral every year, which provide habitat and shelter for dolphins and other marine life.Even if you're a big fan of dolphins and would like to see them up close, sea-themed parks and aquatic swim-with-dolphins programs serve to keep dolphins in captivity, where they experience significantly shorter life spans. Improper physical contact with dolphins can transfer diseases, making dolphins susceptible to fungal infections and a host of other problems. It's much safer to leave them alone where they can live peacefully and happily. One of the most dangerous threats to dolphin populations is commercial fishing, and the nets the fishermen use. If you eat seafood, it's important to make careful and intelligent seafood purchases. There are only so many fish in the sea, and many commercial fishing operations do more harm than good, while others harvest fish responsibly and sustainably. So how can you be sure you know where your salmon, tuna, or shrimp are coming from? Seafood Watch publishes a free annual watch list, tracking the practices and the fishing statistics in the given you, allowing you to make up-to-date decisions and buy the safest seafood. The tuna fishing industry is the culprit most often blamed for dolphin deaths, and "dolphin-safe" tuna is a label you can often find at grocery stores. That's an easy way to make a simple change, but the problem is much larger than just tuna. Make sure you stay informed and learn everything you can about the operation. . Human waste is the number one contributing factor to the degradation of life in the oceans, with 80% of marine pollution originating on land. The impact is enormous, and even something as simple as releasing a helium balloon into the sky can end up contributing the garbage that chokes the dolphin population out. Take steps now to reduce your non-biodegradable garbage.  It doesn't need to be complicated. Take little steps by avoiding plastic coffee cups when you go to the coffee shop,...

Оставьте дельфинов. Покупайте морепродукты осознанно. Бойкотируйте изделия из пенополистирола и другие биологически неразлагающиеся потребительские товары. Снижение количества выбросов парниковых газов в атмосферу. Борьба с глобальным изменением климата.


It's funny because, often, the smallest things find a way to nourish a relationship. Ask yourself, what can I do to make my partner even happier? It doesn't have to be earth-shattering to be effective. It's the thought behind it, and the emotion in it, that's the real gift:  Work on having a better relationship with your in-laws. Few things are more important for your partner than you having a relationship with their parents. You probably don't see your in-laws every day, but that undersells the importance of the goal: ultimately, they want you to love them like you love your parents. Does your spouse really care about charity? Invest in a microloan in their name, and give it to them as a present. They are now the proud beneficiary of someone else's opportunity. Do things around the house that they normally don't enjoy. If your spouse hates doing the dishes, for example, make them a little "get out dishes free" card, good for a week without dish-duty. It might seem weird, but being open with your spouse is indeed a sign of affection: it shows them that you trust them and, more importantly, that you enjoy being intimate with them emotionally. Being open will reassure them that you're taking that step for them. Why did you marry them in the first place? Express to them why you love and how they make you feel everyday. Do this often. It will lead to good habits, promote more love and affection in your marriage, and reduce amounts of stress.  Write a short handwritten letter. Put it underneath their pillow; as you kiss them goodbye in the morning, tell them to check underneath the pillow. The note could say something like: "Every day I'm with you, I learn even more about how impossibly lucky I am. I love you."  Come up behind them when they know that you're in the same room and give them a heartfelt kiss on the neck while wrapping your arms around them. It'll make their heart melt. Make your own romantic fortune cookie. Find a way to slip a personalized fortune into a fortune cookie your spouse breaks open. Have...

TL;DR in Russian:

Придумайте, как ее обрадовать. Будьте открыты, это служит доказательством вашей любви: Показывайте свою любовь. Поддерживайте жену. Не забывайте о романтике.


It's going to hurt him more if you break up with your boyfriend remotely. Never text dump a boyfriend unless you want to cause him more pain. That's the worst possible way to go about it.   Dumping your boyfriend by telephone, Skype, FaceTime, over social media, or by email are also cold approaches you shouldn't use. You wouldn't like it if someone did that to you, so don't do it to them. When you dump your boyfriend to his face, you can show compassion and care. Dumping your boyfriend electronically is too remote and shows disrespect. Also, it's easy to misread the tone of an email or text, so he might read things into your words that aren't there. If you really can't handle telling him to his face, or it's just not possible, choose to write him a heartfelt and detailed letter. Don't type it, either. You are trying to show compassion. He will feel less pain if you make him feel like he did matter to you, but it just didn't work. Ghosting is a term that's become popular recently with some celebrity breakups. When people ghost someone else, they dump them without explanation. They just vanish.  Ghosting is cruel. It makes people feel disrespected and confused. It's the breakup method most guaranteed to cause him pain so, even if it's hard, face your fears and just level with him. He won't be able to find closure as quickly if you ghost him, which means he's going to stick around a lot longer, trying to contact you and reaching out to figure out what's going on. So if you really want to break up with him, ghosting won't get him out of your life as quickly. Sometimes people try to let people down so easily that they end up leading them on. This isn't very nice. It will confuse him and give him false hope.  Don't contact him after you dump him, and don't let him draw you into endless discussions about it. Be final. Be short and firm. Don't say things like "I just need some space" because it will give him false hope. If there is truly none, you need to stand firm and not confuse him.   Don't tell him you love him...

TL;DR in Russian:

Скажите об этом лично. Не исчезайте. Не вводите его в заблуждение. Держите все при себе.


It's hard enough to blow ordinary smoke rings in an area with a breeze or a fan blowing, let alone more complicated shapes. Practice in a room with all the doors and windows closed, without any people or pets walking through it. Some people find it easier to blow smoke rings (or other shapes) with their head tilted downward, at roughly a 45º angle. This might be because this motion tightens the throat, making it easier to release a small, quick ball of air through. You only need to release a tiny amount of air to form a smoke ring with the "cough" method, and you don't need to breathe at all if you're using your tongue or flicking your cheek. If you're making smoke clouds instead of rings or hearts, you are probably exhaling without realizing it. Concentrate on your breathing first, until you can release a tiny puff of smoke, then focus on your mouth shape. Before you try blowing hearts, practice blowing smoke rings until you succeed on about half of your attempts or more. You'll probably need quite a bit of practice to go from there to blowing hearts, so having a good grasp of the basics will save time in the long run.

TL;DR in Russian:

Практиковаться во всем этом следует в таком месте, где не дует ветер. Слегка наклоните голову вниз. Не пытайтесь дуть больше, чем необходимо. Сначала научитесь делать простые колечки.


It's hard to get over someone or forget them if you're still talking to them or even if you're still just friends on social media. Unfriend the person on all your social media accounts. Let the person know you need a long break from them, even if you want to be friends in the future.  You could say, "Even though I would like to be on friendly terms in the future, I'm having a hard time right now. I need to step away from our friendship." If you must see the person, try to be friendly without moving into friendship. For instance, say hello if you pass them in the hall or make polite chitchat about logistics if you're sharing kids. However, leave it at that and don't try to go deeper. Don't dwell on the thought that you might get back together. That only makes you hope and fantasize about the person. Instead, focus on letting go of the relationship, reminding yourself that it's over when you need to. Tell yourself, "We broke up for a reason, and I deserve to move on with someone new." Get all your feelings out on paper. Tell your ex how they hurt you. Write down the good memories and the bad, and just use the time to get out some of your emotions. The letter is for you; there's no need to send it. When you have text or messages from your ex, you're likely to go back and read them, dwelling in the past. Go through all of your accounts, and delete all messages, so you won't be tempted. If you're afraid you might want the memories later, try saving them on an external hard drive and give it to a friend. Then you can't take it out at will to remember. Remove the photos from the walls and your picture albums. Delete any photos you have on your phone or computer, as well as any on your social media accounts. You don't need those reminders around. Once again, if you can't quite let go, put them on an external hard drive along with any hard copies you have and ask a friend to hold them for a while. Sometimes, you just need to cleanse your mind of the other person. One way to do that is to gather up items you have...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прекратите любое общение. Не держитесь за надежду, что у вас получится вернуть человека. Напишите письмо, но не отправляйте. Удалите электронные письма, сообщения и голосовые звонки. Уберите или удалите все фотографии человека. Устройте ритуальное сожжение остальных напоминаний.


It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're in the middle of a crush, but plenty of other people have been down this path before you.  Finding out how they got through it can kick-start your own inspiration to move on.  Ask a friend or family member for help. Most people can sympathize with  love on some level, and they might be able to tell you about their own experiences overcoming a crush.  Even if they don't have personal experience with this problem, they can still give you some level-headed advice. Keep your eyes peeled for examples.  Once you start looking for it, you'll see countless examples of other people struggling.  Books, movies, songs and even news stories often center on someone grappling with an impossible crush.  Pay extra attention to the ones where someone gets over it, and note what you can learn. Before you can get over a problem, you have to acknowledge that it exists.  Allow yourself to say you have a crush, and to experience all the complicated emotions that go with it.  Consider writing down a few pages about how you feel.  Taking some time to express your emotional turmoil can help you feel like you're putting it behind you.  List the reasons why you developed feelings for the other person, and why it's not going to work.  Write it in a private journal, or on a password-protected word processing document.  Or, write it on a few loose pieces of paper and burn them later. State your feelings out loud.  You don't have to tell anyone else how you feel, but verbalizing your problem out loud — even if you're the only person in the room — can help it seem real and approachable.  It can be as simple as saying "I have a crush on Steve, and I hate that I feel this way." If you're certain they're mature and capable of understanding what you're going through, find a time when you can talk to them about it. One of the most difficult parts of getting over a crush is letting go of your hopes for romance. If your best friend is dating him, then you just need to back off. If you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите людей, которые знают о ваших чувствах. Признайте, что вы влюблены. Скажите о своих чувствах человеку, в которого влюбились. Признайте поражение.


It's helpful to have a large cleaver and a boning knife for this task. Make sure your tools are sharp and clean and that you've got a sterile work surface large enough to handle big pieces of meat. Try setting up a portable card table or picnic table and cleaning it with food-safe sanitizer before you begin. Using a saw or a meat cleaver, find the point at which the rib cage meets the backbone (it should be between the 12th and 13th rib) and cut through the spine. Use firm pressure. After you've made an incision, you may need to put one hand on the hind quarters and one hand on the for legs or neck area and bend them toward each other to break the back in half. Probably the most tender and tasty cut of venison, the tenderloins are the dark, lean, red meat found inside the cavity, running alongside the backbone. The backstraps or ribeye are also called the "outside tenderloins," and are found opposite the tenderloin, along the backbone on the other side of the ribs.  To remove them, run your knife along the inside of the backbone (for the tenderloin) or the outside of the backbone (for the backstraps), and work the meat loose of the ribs and keeping the edge of your knife as close as possible to the bone, to get as much of the meat as possible. Use long even cuts as you pull the meat away from the bone. You'll find these in both the hind quarters and rib section of the carcass. This is the best cut for steaks or roasts. You can either separate the ribs, or leave them intact as whole side of ribs. The brisket can be found on the outside of the ribs, near where you've opened the belly for removing the organs. Alternatively, you can leave the entire backbone area intact for cutting into chops with a meat saw later. To do this, leave the tenderloins and backstraps in place, and remove the upper shoulders by cutting the muscles that attach them to the chest, working from the bottom (the armpit) up, lifting on the leg as you do so. Since there are not joints in the bones connecting the front shoulders to the chest,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте чистую рабочую поверхность и держите под рукой все необходимое. Разрубите хребет, чтобы отделить передние конечности от задних. Вырежьте филей. Отпилите ребра. Срежьте мясо с плеч и шеи. Срежьте окорока.


It's important for you to understand your personal style before you decide to change it. If you are already being assertive in most areas of your life, you may only need to make minor adjustments. After all, there is a fine line between being assertive and being aggressive. However, you may be a bit too passive if you find yourself in those cases:  Not voicing your opinion Remaining quiet most of the time Saying yes when you really want to say no Taking on more responsibility even when your plate is already full When you find yourself not standing up for yourself or struggling to say no to others, it may be because you're afraid to displease other people. When you find that you're being passive in a particular situation, ask yourself what you're actually afraid of. Remember, the only way to overcome the fear is to first recognize its existence.  Telling yourself that you “must” get the approval of someone else is a cognitive distortion. When you feel that you “must” and “have to” do things,you will start to place unrealistic demands on yourself. What other people think is not reflective of your self-worth. Rather it is usually a reflection of issues with the other person. Often, beneath the fear of disapproval is the fear of retaliation or rejection. In other words, you may be passive in some situations because you're concerned about the potential consequences of being more assertive. Thinking about the likelihood that the retaliation will actually happen and how to handle it if it does, is a great way to move through the fear and become more assertive. Here are some questions to ask to help you with this process:  What do I fear will happen if I am more assertive? What specific evidence do I have that the person will retaliate? For instance, has she done it before? What evidence do I have that the person will not retaliate? What do I think will actually happen? What can I do to protect myself from the retaliation? Sometimes you may refrain from being assertive because you don't want to hurt the other...

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените характер вашего взаимодействия с людьми. Проанализируйте свой страх. Оцените вероятность того, что ваш страх станет реальностью. Освободитесь от ответственности за чувства других людей. Отпустите чувство вины. Извлекайте уроки из своей покорности.


It's important that you know from the outset: there's no guarantee that machine-washing your item won't do damage to it. Durable items, like boots or jackets, might be the best candidates for machine-washing.  Don't wash leather that is brightly colored, as color may fade in the washing machine. Avoid washing leather items that have delicate seams or lots of detailing, unless you're comfortable risking damage to these features. If an item is expensive and needs to be cleaned, like a fancy pair of boots or a nice suede jacket, use a spot cleaning method or a professional cleaning service. This gentle soap is relatively easy on leather, which can be damaged by soaps that are more abrasive. Any type of castile soap will do. If you can't find it at the store, you can make your own. Castile soap is used in the same way you'd use regular laundry detergent. Add the soap to your laundry machine in the fashion your machine requires and turn the water setting to “Cold.” To prevent your leather item from taking too much of a beating during the wash cycle, you may want to throw in a few other black items to absorb some shock. Use the gentlest setting your washer has. Turn your leather item inside out, if possible, and then zip all zippers and fasten all fasteners. This process may help “flush” stains out while protecting the visible parts of the leather from damage. Keep an eye on the leather item as it washes. You’ll want to snag it from the washing machine as soon as the cycle is finished, so it doesn't get a chance to dry in there. Leather that is dried crumpled, creased, or misshapen could cause it to permanently deform in these ways. Lay it out flat or hang it up. Smooth out the wrinkles and folds that formed in the wash. In some cases, you may be able to get some additional length out of the leather by pulling in it firmly to stretch it out while it’s still wet. Be careful when stretching the leather. There’s no guarantee it won’t rip, and if it does it won’t be easy or cheap to fix. Avoid letting leather items dry...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте данный метод для не очень дорогих вещей. Купите или самостоятельно приготовьте кастильское (оливковое) мыло. Налейте четверть стакана (около 60 мл) оливкового мыла в отсек для моющего средства. Поместите кожаную вещь в стиральную машину и установите программу бережной стирки. Запустите стирку. Придайте кожаному предмету исходную форму. Оставьте вещь сохнуть естественным путем. Обработайте кожу кондиционером.


It's important to be good role models for children as they grow up - especially when it comes to healthy eating habits.  If you instill good habits early on and are consistent, it's more likely your children will continue these habits as adults.  Eat what they eat.  If you want your kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, then you need to eat more fruits and vegetables.  Show them that this is part of a healthy diet and should be included daily. Don't skip meals.  Skipping meals is an easy habit to get into.  However, there are a variety of negative side effects of skipping meals (especially breakfast).  Teach your family how important it is to eat regularly by making sure you do so yourself. Be positive about trying new things.  Whether it's trying a new food or new activity, be positive about the experience.  Show your family that it's fun and healthy to try new things. Being physically active together is another example of when kids can learn good, healthy behaviors from their parents and family.  Spend time several days a week being active together.  Adults typically need about 150 minutes of activity each week.  Children need about 60 minutes of activity each day.  The amount of activity may seem like a lot, but remember, your children are most likely getting activity in through recess and gym class at school.  However, it's still important to do activities together as a family. Try activities like:  going for bike rides, taking the dog for a walk, going hiking on the weekends or playing sports together. Increased screen time has been linked to increased weight and obesity in children in the US.  Limit screen time to a maximum of 1-2 hours daily.  Make set rules in your household about when and where children can have screen time.  For example:  no computers or TV's in your child's bedroom or no screen time until homework is completed and they've been active for 30 minutes. Engage children in other fun activities outside of screen time like:  playing a board game, playing outside, engaging in family...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подавайте пример детям. Занимайтесь спортом вместе. Ограничьте время, проводимое перед экранами. Договоритесь о времени отхода ко сну.


It's important to check that your fence is not illegal before you build it! If there are any restrictions on fences in your neighborhood or in your city, then all your hard work can be torn down. Check with your local planning department and neighborhood association before you get too far into the process. Most cities require a building permit in order to place a fence. Get one to ensure that both you and your fence are safe! Many electrical, gas and sewer lines, as well as water mains are buried at the levels you will be digging to. When you apply for a permit, you should also call 811 to request that your local utility companies come out to the site and mark any areas where pipes and wires are located. This will help to ensure the safety of your project. You'll want to be sure that you're using wood that will last a long time, right? If you use the best woods and treat them well, a wood fence can last 20 years or more. But choose the wrong wood and your fence might only make it 5 years. Consult with your local lumberyard to find the best wood for your area, but treated woods are usually your best option. There are also lots of different styles of wood fences. Do some research before you start so that you don't end up with builder's remorse! There are picket, lattice, concave, convex, board on board, shadowbox, privacy, and many other styles with just as many variations within each style. Each style also has specifics of how the fence should be built and how the boards should be placed. The information in this article is general and can apply broadly to many fence styles, but you might want to find specifics on your fence style to compliment these instructions.

TL;DR in Russian:

Для начала ознакомьтесь с местными ограничениями. Подайте заявление на разрешение. Выберите материалы. Определитесь со стилем.


It's important to develop your physical skills as early as possible. Most professional football players have been playing the game since at least high school. If you're not in high school anymore, but you still want to play football, join a local league, or find camps. Do anything to boost your skills and knowledge of the game. In high school, you should expect to invest about 10-15 hours a week practicing. In college, that time increases to about 25-30 hours a week.  To go pro you have to play football as much as possible. In the off-season, don't stop training. Expect to make some sacrifices to get in all the training you need. Becoming a professional athlete requires a huge time commitment. If you want to get into the pros, your best bet is to get into a good college. Pay attention to your GPA and take classes that will boost your chances of getting into a good school.  Take classes in biology and the health sciences. The more you know about the human body and what is required for peak performance, the better.  Keep in mind playing college football is not a guarantee that you will play professionally. Only 1.7% of college players will play professional football. If a scout visits your school, be on your best behavior. Don't show-off, and don't disrespect your teammates. Scouts are looking to see how well you play the game, but also how well you play with others.  Maintain a good relationship with your coach. Your coach might know the scouts and be able to give you a reference. Getting a recommendation from a coach could be the defining factor in whether you get picked up or not.  No matter what, keep a good attitude. Show energy in warm-up and stay positive on the sidelines. If you get negative feedback from a scout, learn from it. Improve yourself daily.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начинайте в раннем возрасте. Тренируйтесь. Подготовьтесь к университету. Обратите внимание на спортивных скаутов.


It's important to first ask yourself whether your feelings are really strong enough to warrant taking things to the next level. There are many different levels and types of attraction. In some cases, your feelings may not be strong enough to warrant moving forward with them; in other situations it's better to wait a while and see. If you feel you really want to admit your feelings however, you owe it to yourself to follow through with it. It's probably not the sort of thing you want to be thinking about realistically when you first become attracted to someone, but it is nonetheless important to consider just how likely your crush is to return your feelings. Has he shown you any signs of attraction beyond friendship, or has he turned you away whenever things have gotten personal? Weighing the risk of telling your feelings is important if you don't want to risk the friendship. You can do more harm than good by letting a friend know your real feelings, especially if the whole thing is approached incorrectly. Finding out about your crush's other potential interests is an important part of weighing your own chances. Letting someone know you have feelings for him is a big risk, especially if you really value the existing relationship you share together. With that in mind, it's a good idea to make sure someone hasn't beaten you to the chase before going in yourself. Even if someone might be interested in you otherwise, there's very little chance he'll strike up a relationship if he's actively pursuing someone else at the time. Note the difference between real interest and passing attraction. If your friend has called a member of the opposite sex 'good-looking' or even 'hot', that doesn't necessarily mean he's wanting to date them. On the contrary, he may even be testing you to see if you'll react when he says something like that. Signs of attraction, whether conscious or unconscious, will usually shine through in a given interaction, even if it's just a friendship on the surface level so far. If your crush likes...

TL;DR in Russian:

Разберитесь в своих чувствах. Оцените свои шансы.  Узнайте, нравится ли человеку кто-либо другой Знаки внимания. Убедитесь, что между вами нет неразрешенных проблем. Убедитесь в размеренности ваших жизней.


It's important to obtain evidence that the abuse is happening. Doing so will help build a case against your wife, and ensure that you're not the one who's accused of abuse.  Write down dates and times when the abuse happens. Take photographs of your injury and see a doctor to have the incident included in your medical record. If another adult witnessed the abuse, ask for an account for your records. If your wife sends abusive text messages or emails, save them. If the abuse is emotional, try to describe what your wife does in as much detail as you can. Contact local domestic violence programs to see if they can offer help in getting away from your abusive wife. Many such programs cater to women. However, you should be able to locate some community programs that assist men, if you are a male victim of domestic violence.  Such programs can help you plan your escape, offer support, and provide legal aid so that you can obtain an order of protection against your wife. If you have children, they may help you get temporary custody (as long as the abuse is well-documented). For more help finding resources, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. In the heat of the moment, you won't be able to gather the practical items needed to leave your wife. Instead, pack bags containing what you and your children will need ahead of time.  Your bags might include clothing, cash, and important documents, such as insurance cards and birth certificates. If you plan to take your children, go over the exit plan with them ahead of time. Consider their ages when explaining the purpose of the plan to them. Think about where you will go and who you will call when you decide to leave your abusive wife. Prepare a list of emergency phone numbers and contact info for your close friends and family. Let your emergency contacts know your exit plan. You might need to get a person to pick you up if you don't have a vehicle. Then, you will need to determine where you will go, such as a shelter or the home of a relative....

TL;DR in Russian:

Зафиксируйте жестокое поведение. Обратитесь к общественным ресурсам. Подготовьте сумку для ухода. Определите контактное лицо на случай чрезвычайной ситуации. Не говорите жене, где вы находитесь. Подайте на  развод, если подозреваете, что жена не прекратит насилие.
