If you have recently been exposed to someone with active TB and believe there is a chance you might have contracted the disease, it is important to consult your health care provider immediately. There are two methods for TB testing:   Skin test: The Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) requires injecting a protein solution sometime between 8 and 10 weeks after contact with an infected person. The patient must return to the medical provider two or three days later to have the skin reaction interpreted.  Blood test: Although it's not as commonplace as the skin test, the TB blood test only requires a single doctor visit and is less likely to result in misinterpretation by a medical professional. It is the necessary option for anyone who has received the BCG vaccination, as the vaccine can interfere with the accuracy of the tuberculin skin test. If your TB test is positive, you will need to undergo additional testing. Health professionals will need to determine whether you have a latent TB (which is not contagious) or active TB disease before proceeding with treatment. Tests may include a chest x-ray and a sputum test. If you test positive for latent TB, you should consult with your doctor about the best course of action.  Although you don't feel sick with a latent TB, and it isn't contagious, you will probably be prescribed a course of antibiotics to kill the inactive TB germs and prevent tuberculosis from turning into an active disease. The two most common treatments are: Taking isoniazid daily or twice a week. The duration of the treatment is six or nine months. Or, for those who can’t tolerate isoniazid, taking rifampin daily for four months. If you test positive for active TB, it is essential that you begin treatment as soon as possible.  Symptoms of active TB include cough, sputum production, fever, weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, chills and a loss of appetite. Nowadays, active TB is highly treatable with a combination of antibiotic medications, however the duration of treatment can be quite long, usually between...

If you have recently washed your hair and do not wish to do so again, you can spray your hair down with a spray bottle full of fresh water, instead. If possible, stand in front of a large bathroom mirror, with another mirror placed behind you so that you can see what you are doing from both sides. You'll need to hold the scissors differently depending on what type of haircut you want.  If you want a blunt (straight across) cut, you'll need to hold your scissors horizontally as you cut straight across your hair. If you want a softer, more natural and layered look, you'll need to turn your scissors at a 45-degree angle and cut upward into your hair, making small diagonal cuts. For a more wispy edge (like for bangs), first cut your hair to the desired length, then, making an almost vertical angle with your scissors, cut upward in one quick motion into your hair. Only do a few of these per section of hair, otherwise it will look too wispy and sparse. Bring the hair in front of your shoulders. Comb the section out. Take firm hold of it between your pointer and middle fingers (as if those two fingers are a pair of scissors cutting your strand of hair), and comb through the section again. Pulling the hair taut, slide your fingers down the section until they are just above where you want to cut, then use your scissors to cut just beneath your fingers. Shampoo, condition, and rinse your hair. Then dry it with a towel or a blow-dryer — whichever you prefer.

If you have regrets, or need to let him/her know something that you've kept in for years, use this time to let them know. Consider the effect what you have to say may have on your loved one and, if it is something you think will upset them more than it will matter to you to tell them, then it might be best to keep it under your hat. You don't want to stress him/her out more than they already are. They may want to know about what you, or your children's plans for the future are and telling them this could provide comfort. Although this may seem insensitive, you could if he or she is scared. You may be at peace once they're gone, knowing that they weren't scared to go. And if your loved one is scared, help him or her come to terms with their fears. If there's something they really want to do, and they're able- then get out there and do it! Live for today, so that you can remember it tomorrow. Say it like you mean it and remember how they respond. Nothing is more important than those three words and it's something you can hang onto in the future. They may just tell you some things that ease your mind, and will help with this process a little. Some may want to talk about death, funeral plans, etc., while others do not. Don't presume that you know what they want or need - ask. This is no time to play guessing games! If a loved one pretends he or she isn't dying, and everything is going to be okay, realize that this is a defense mechanism and is misplaced hope. While it is important to be receptive to the loved one's approach to death, do not let this fantasy cause tension and problems for you and other family members. This may be the one time where it is important to not play along but to make it clear in as kind and caring a way as possible, that the loved one has a terminal illness which impacts other people too. Things are not going to be all right and much time can be wasted pretending otherwise, when sharing memories, dealing with the loved one's wishes and spending quality time together should be occurring...

TL;DR in Russian:

Как можно чаще находите время, чтобы сесть и поговорить с близким человеком. Поговорите с вашим близким о смерти. Скажите любимому человеку, что будете скучать по нему, и чаще говорите «Я тебя люблю». Скажите вашему любимому человеку, если вы напуганы, растеряны или расстроены. Действуйте так, как хочет ваш близкий. Соберите членов семьи в комнате больного и поговорите о былых временах. Обязательно скажите все, что хотели сказать.


If you have set the intention of killing the squirrel, and you plan to, say, stuff it, then you probably won't want to keep it alive for release. Otherwise, however, consider that you don't need to kill the squirrel to get rid of it. You can catch the squirrel humanely and release it back into the wild. This way, you can rest with both an easy conscience and a squirrel-free property. Bring the captured animal at least a mile from where you caught it. On average, the home range of the male eastern gray squirrel is around 3.41 hectares, and you'll want to take it even further to reduce its chance of returning. It helps if you've trapped the creature in an easy-to-transport box, cage, or bucket.  Consider bringing the squirrel across a river from your property. Squirrels can swim, but a large river should provide enough of a deterrent to keep them from coming back. Make sure that the squirrel won't be able to cross the river on a "bridge" of tree canopies. If you have caught multiple squirrels, feel free to release them all at once. You may need a car to carry all of the cages. Bring the trap into a wooded area – preferably a park or a forest, rather than someone else's property. Make sure that you're at least thirty feet from the nearest road. Set the trap on the ground and wait for the animal to calm down. Then, when you're ready, carefully prop open the door of the trap. Let the squirrel run free. Be patient. You may need to wait a minute or two for the squirrel to feel comfortable making a dash. Try walking away from the trap for a minute, then coming back once the squirrel has escaped.

If you have severe diarrhea or vomiting, your body will lose fluids, which can lead to dehydration. If so, you'll notice increased thirst, dry mouth, sleepiness, less frequent urination, dark yellow urine, headache, dry skin, and dizziness. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor. You'll probably be told to start taking ORS drinks if the symptoms aren't severe. Left untreated, dehydration can become severe. Severe dehydration symptoms include: very dry mouth and skin, very dark yellow or brown urine, loss of skin elasticity, lowered pulse rate, sunken eyes, seizure, generalized body weakness, and even coma. If you or the person you’re caring for show severe dehydration symptoms, get emergency help. ORS drinks are designed to replace lost salt content and improve absorption of water by the body. At the first signs of dehydration, you should take ORS. This mainly helps by re-hydrating the body. It is easier to prevent dehydration early on by drinking ORS drinks than to cure it. Severe dehydration will require hospitalization and intravenous fluid administration. But, if caught early, ORS drinks can be prepared at home to treat mild dehydration. Sip ORS drinks throughout the day. You can drink it along with eating meals. If you vomit, take a break from drinking ORS. Wait 10 minutes, then drink the solution again. If you're nursing and treating a baby, you must continue breastfeeding while treating with ORS. You can keep using ORS until diarrhea has stopped. The following tells you how much ORS you must give to:  Babies and toddlers: 0.5 liter of ORS drink every 24 hours Children (2 to 9 years old): 1 liter of ORS drink every 24 hours Children (more than 10 years old) and adults: 3 liters (0.79 US gal) of ORS drink every 24 hours Symptoms should start to disappear a few hours after drinking the ORS solution. You should start urinating more and the urine will start to look light yellow or almost clear. If symptoms do not improve, or if any of the following symptoms begin, get immediate medical...

If you have strands of hair that are too short to pull up but too long to let hang, try pinning them back. Bobby pins will more often than not be your constant companion in the weeks and months it takes to grow out a short haircut. Here's a quick guide for those a little out of practice:  Make a deep part on one side of your forehead just above the center of one of your eyes. Then sweep that portion of hair to the side, using pins to hold it back.  Then set with hairspray. Grab the portion at the front of your hair that's starting to fall over your forehead.  Twist the section once or twice, then pin flat at the top of your head. The slight twist will add a bit of volume to the front of the section. Once the top of your hair is long enough to pull back, pin up the shorter sections underneath for a cleaner ponytail look. These products can help tame your hair when it's prone to looking wild and unruly. Test out a few different products to find one you like - if you're on a budget, ask your friends what they use and whether you could try a bit. If what you're using makes your hair look stiffer than you'd like, try adding a bit of water to the product before applying it.  For a matte look, go for the wax or the pomade. Use only about a pea-sized glob of the product and work it through your hair beginning where the hair meets your scalp. Style how you'd like. For a glossy or wet look, reach for the gel. Again, use a small glob and work through your hair beginning at the base. If your style allows it, comb your hair to make sure there are no gel clumps left over. Mousse will be helpful for those with curls or anyone looking for added volume. For curls, use a palm-sized amount and work it through the bottom 2/3 of your hair (so not near your scalp), then flip your head and do the same to the underside. For volume, have a glob of mousse in one hand and then use a comb to apply it to your hair, starting at the roots. If you've got the tools at hand, try curling your hair for some added bounce to your hair-do. Curling...

If you have the administrator credentials (e.g., your email address and a password), you can log into your website's administrator panel by entering them in the proper location. Most website hosting services (e.g., WordPress, Weebly, GoDaddy, etc.) have a control panel that you can access by logging into the hosting service's website. For example, for a WordPress domain, you would go to hosting service's address (in this case, https://www.wordpress.com/), click Log In,  enter your login credentials, and then go to your administrator page by clicking My Site, scrolling down, and clicking WP Admin. You'll need to do this if you can't log in via the host's website. The base address is the website URL that most people will see. For example, Facebook's base address is "https://www.facebook.com". If you're unable to access the login page through the host's address, you can attempt to go to it directly by trying the following variations:  www.website.com/admin www.website.com/administrator www.website.com/user www.website.com/login www.website.com/login.aspx www.website.com/wp-login.php www.website.com/admin.php www.website.com/wp-admin Once you arrive at the login page, you'll generally see two text fields; you'll enter your login name or email address in the "Email" or "Username" text field, which is usually the top text field. Type your administrator password into the "Password" text field, which is usually directly below the "Username" or "Email" field. It's typically below the "Password" text field. Doing so will log you into the website's administrator panel.

If you have the author's real name, introduce the author's last name in sentence as you quote the tweet. Within parentheses, note the author's username.  If no real name is available, only the username is needed. You can quote a full or partial tweet. After writing the username in parentheses, you should also write the year the tweet was published. Example: As noted by Doe, "Quoting a tweet is surprisingly simple" (JohnDoeExampleName, 2013). Example: Quoting tweets is "so simple, a monkey could do it" (RandomExampleUsername, 2013). The information must provide enough information for the reader to easily track the original tweet down.  The author's username must be included in the reference, but the real name does not need to be. Follow the username with a period. In parentheses, write the date in year-month-day format, followed by a parentheses. Write the full tweet after the date. Only capitalize the first word and do not put the tweet in quotation marks. Label the title as “Twitter post” in brackets, followed by a period. Conclude with the exact URL of the exact tweet, proceeded by the phrase “Retrieved from.” Do not include a period after the URL. Example: JohnDoeExampleName. (2013, July 18). Quoting a tweet is surprisingly simple [Twitter post]. Retrieved from https://twitter.com/JohnDoeExampleName/status/00000000

If you have the best content this side of the Milky Way galaxy, it doesn't matter if no one's seeing it. You've gotta make it so your blog is seen. How do you do this? Basically, make it so Google likes you. The higher your page is ranked, the more accessible it is.  A lot of this has to do with search engine optimization, or SEO. When someone searches "Caramel Salted Bonbons," you don't want yours to be on the 5th search results page. Keywords are huge, too. If you know what your audience is searching, you can cater your content to it. The more your content matches, the more relevant your blog will seem. Just don't cater it so much you seem like a keyword-mongering sellout. If you plant your URL on others' pages and leave it at that, that's a little rude. You want to develop friendships, a reputation, and to be a mainstay in whatever community you're a part of. So reach out! Talk to other bloggers. Answer your emails. Stay active with your readers. Be a real person. When you get more involved, you dig yourself a deeper, sturdier role in the blogging world. People can start deferring to you. It'll be great! When you've already done something, others will link to it, possibly modify it, and get the word out about you for you. It's all about networking, whether it's real life or not. Really, "cost" is an idea somebody made up. It's about what you're willing to pay -- in this case, it's about what you're willing to charge. If you're at a complete loss as to what you think your blog's value is, look at similar blogs. Shoot the author an email if they don't have it up on their "sponsor me" page. And speaking of which -- you should have one of those pages, too!  Another way to go about it is to go to BlogAds.com. They have a seemingly infinite list of blogs sorted by category and traffic -- you can find one similar to yours and look at the prices by the week or month. You'll want to start thinking about renewal rates and bulk packaging, too. If you get ads for six months, do they get a deal? What about if they...

If you have time to prepare before you're in a situation in which you need to walk quietly, taking small measures can help you make fewer sounds when you walk. For example,  Stretch before you try to move silently. It is common that your joints and bones will click when you first exert them, so stretching before you're in the thick of the moment is a good idea. Stretching will make you feel looser and stop anything from clicking and giving away your presence. Don't go on an empty stomach but don't have a huge feast either. Your body actually gets heavier after you eat, and therefore, louder. Go to the bathroom before you attempt walking silently. You might be tempted to hold your breath, but it's better to take slow and measured breaths from the nose. That way, you won't risk inhaling or exhaling too loudly when you need air. If you're congested, open your mouth wide and take deep, controlled breaths. You may feel your breath quicken as adrenaline moves through your body. If that happens, pause, catch your breath and take a few deep, calming breaths to ease your anxiety. Make sure you're breathing normally again before you continue. If you're following someone, you can hide the sound of your steps by walking in time with him or her. As the person steps with his or her left foot, you use your left foot and repeat with the right foot. This will help mask any noise your feet may make. Be careful not to get carried away when you're matching someone's gait - it's still important to use the proper technique for walking silently. Otherwise, if the person stops abruptly and you keep walking, you'll be caught. If you are moving through a wooded area where dry twigs, brush, dense jungle or leaves will make absolute silence impossible, move in small, erratic increments and pause: don't move in a steady plodding, marching, pounding rhythm.  Mimic the sounds around you. For example, a forest might be filled with the sound of small animals foraging. They typically move a short distance, pause to sniff for food or predators...

If you have to poop and find that a public restroom with multiple stalls is your only choice, you can at least pick the stall that will best suit your purposes. First and foremost, make sure that the stall you are in has a functioning lock. The last thing you want is to be interrupted midway through defecating.  If cleanliness is a top priority, choose one of  the stalls closest to the door. There is research indicating these are used less frequently, so they are typically cleaner. You will need toilet paper. Before starting to relieve yourself, check to make sure that the stall or room has plenty of toilet paper and that you can easily reach it. Try placing a small amount of toilet paper in the toilet before you poop. This will help you to avoid having an excessive amount of water splash back up as you do your business.  Consider having some hygienic wipes in your pocket or in your purse. You'll find them useful during the cleaning process. Take some paper towels into the stall with you. They will be more effective than toilet paper in helping to clean up any resulting mess. If you know that you are going to be in a situation where you need to poop standing up, try to make it easier on yourself by choosing your clothing wisely. Ladies, a skirt would be the easiest for you. Simply gather it up and hold it around your waist. Gentlemen, avoid wearing your best pair of dress slacks. This option can potentially be messier than if you choose to sit on the toilet, and you don't want to soil your good clothes. Some people become nervous before using a public restroom. If this applies to you, there are some steps you can take to make the experience as private as possible. Try to scope out a restroom that is not near the entrance or lobby of a building. These will likely have less traffic, and you will have a better chance of being in the restroom by yourself. Hopefully, that will help ease any tension. If you are using this method at a friends house, you might be concerned that someone will overhear your bathroom...

If you have tongue bumps and home remedies haven’t relieved them, schedule an appointment with your doctor. She can examine you for underlying conditions and help formulate a treatment plan for you.  Tongue bumps may have related causes including fungal, viral, or bacterial infections or allergies.  If your tongue bumps don’t go away after a few days or you have recurrent cases of them, see your doctor who can either develop a treatment for you or diagnose an underlying condition, such as a food allergy.  See your doctor if the bumps grow or spread.  If your tongue bumps are especially painful or inflamed, or even interfere with your daily activities including eating, it’s best to see your doctor.  Tongue bumps may also be symptoms of conditions beyond a food allergy including: canker sores, squamous papilloma, syphilis, scarlet fever, or glossitis caused by smoking or infection. Your doctor may order tests to determine why you have tongue bumps. Tests often may not be able to specifically locate the cause, but your doctor can develop the an effective treatment plan for you. Your doctor may use different diagnostic tools to determine the cause of your tongue bumps. She may order oral cultures or allergy tests. Your doctor may prescribe medication or suggest over the counter medications to help alleviate discomfort associated with bumps. Because tongue bumps usually resolve on their own, you’ll likely only receive antibiotics or antiseptics if you have an underlying condition.  If your tongue is causing you discomfort and is related to a more serious condition like glossodynia, your doctor may prescribe medications like amitriptyline and amisulpride.  Your doctor may also suggest an over the counter pain reliever, though there is little evidence this help tongue bumps. Popular over-the-counter painkillers include acetaminophen, ibuprofen and aspirin.

If you have too many different goals that you're working on, you'll be less likely to succeed in any of them. Instead, prioritize the goals you have towards a healthier lifestyle.  Start by replacing the behaviors that are making the most negative influence in your life. For example, if your drinking is causing problems in your relationship, home or work, you might want to make changes in drinking before addressing other problems, such as lack of exercise. Check with your medical provider before making any big changes in your daily habits. She might be able to offer suggestions, supports or other practical advice. Include incentives and rewards for yourself for making changes. For example, if you are quitting smoking, take the money you used to spend on cigarettes and treat yourself to a new blouse, a nice outing, or dinner with a friend. If you can see the way you'd like your new life to be, you'll be more likely to get there. Be as specific as you can about what you want, but don't be afraid to change your vision if you find yourself pulled in new direction.  Start by taking a look at the way your life might already have these qualities. What can you do to enhance these aspects of your life? If you need to make some changes, prepare yourself. For example, if you realize that your new life needs a new career, this will likely mean taking some time to go back to school. Small steps will make these changes possible. Spend time every day strengthening your vision of your new life, both metaphorically and practically. Cut out pictures of what you'd like to include in your life. Brainstorm possibilities. This is a chance to be creative and ambitious. The human brain is wired for curiosity. If we don't provide ourselves with opportunities to be curious, we'll end up bored, depressed, and stuck. Research shows that taking classes to learn new things slows down the brain's aging process. In other words, if we practice being more engaged, agile and focused, we're more likely to be able to stay that way.  Learning...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you have tried all of these methods and you were still unable to go to the bathroom, you could have a bowel obstruction. If constipation persists for weeks you should get checked to rule out other more serious medical issues. You should see a doctor straightaway if you have symptoms such as cramping, spasms, dizziness or fatigue.  You can ask your doctor about a biofeedback appointment. This is a special consultation in which you will learn how to relax and tighten muscles in your pelvic area.  If you are on any medications, discuss this with your doctor. There is a chance that medications could be causing your constipation. If you have long-term constipation problems, an abdominal massage can help. The message takes around 10-20 minutes, and can be done while you are standing, sitting or lying down. These massages can reduce the need for the regular use of laxatives, and can relieve flatulence. Abdominal massage is not recommended for everybody, so speak to your doctor first. Pregnant woman should not get a massage and neither should someone with a history of malignant bowel obstructions. You can talk to your doctor about prescription medications that are available to treat constipation. These medications work to draw water into your intestines. This speeds up the movement of the stool. Your doctor will generally only recommend such medications if over-the-counter laxatives have been ineffective.

TL;DR in Russian:

Запишитесь на прием к врачу. Запишитесь на массаж живота или сделайте его себе сами. Попросите врача выписать вам необходимые лекарства.


If you have tried talking to the boy and he will not stop his behavior, ignore him. Unless his actions are hurting you or causing you distress, this can be a good alternative. If you no longer react to his behavior, he might stop. Perhaps your friend has an idea as to why the boy bugs you. He or she might be able to talk to the boy for you. Your friend also can stand up for you to the boy. If the boy sees that others recognize his behavior, he might be more willing to stop. In this case, positive peer pressure can be effective. If the boy's behavior is bothering you, tell a trusted adult. Your teacher or parent can help you find a solution. You should tell them when you are uncomfortable at school, at home, or in your neighborhood.

TL;DR in Russian:

Игнорируйте его. Поговорите со своими друзьями. Поговорите со взрослым человеком.


If you have trouble with self-confidence, then doing something completely new and different probably doesn't exactly excite you. Well, it's time to be brave and venture forth to do something you never expected to do. This could be introducing yourself to a new group of people at a party, signing up for a dance class though you have two left feet, or applying for a job that sounds fantastic but overwhelming. The more you get into the habit of trying new things, the more secure you'll feel, because you'll get the sense that you can handle any curve ball life may throw at you. Here are some other great ways to embrace the unknown:  Start small. Strike up a conversation with someone you see a lot but never talk to, such as the guy who sits next to you in math class or your neighbor. Plan a trip to a new place, even if it's just a city 50 miles (80 km) away from your hometown. Get in the habit of going new places and seeing new things. Try your hand at learning a foreign language. Doing something that feels completely unfamiliar to you is fun and can build your confidence. Taking (reasonable) risks is related to embracing the unknown and asserting yourself as an individual. If you want to be more self-confident, then you have to not only try new things, but you have to be up for doing something that feels a little bit scary or uncertain to you. Not every risk you take will lead to something great, but it will get you into the habit of putting yourself out there and seeing what happens. Taking risks will make you feel like you aren't confined to the small set of things you already feel comfortable with and that you are capable of anything.  Step out of your comfort zone at least once a day. This could mean talking to your crush -- or even asking him or her out, if you've worked up the courage! If you're unhappy at work but feel afraid to leave, try applying to just one job. Even if nothing comes of it, you'll see that the risk you took wasn't all that scary. Confront your fear, while you're at it. While you don't...

TL;DR in Russian:

Охватите неизвестное. Будьте готовы пойти на риск. Проводите время с людьми, с которыми вам хорошо. Занимайтесь своим любимым делом. Работайте над тем, чтобы язык тела отражал вашу уверенность в себе. Следите за своей внешностью.


If you haven't already bought a USB Bluetooth adapter, find one that works with your specific operating system (e.g., Windows 10 or macOS High Sierra) and purchase it. You can usually find Bluetooth adapters in stores such as Best Buy and on sites such as Amazon. You'll need an empty USB port into which you can plug your Bluetooth adapter. If your computer uses oval USB-C ports instead of rectangular USB 3.0 ports, you'll also need to buy a USB to USB-C adapter for your computer. It should fit snugly into the free USB port. If you're using a USB to USB-C adapter, first plug the USB-C end of the adapter into your computer, then plug the Bluetooth dongle into the free end of the USB adapter. If your Bluetooth dongle won't run on your computer, it may be because the latest version of your operating system doesn't support it. You can usually fix this by downloading a driver file, double-clicking it to run it, and following any on-screen prompts. Typically, you can install drivers from the Bluetooth adapter manufacturer's website under the "Downloads", "Drivers", or "Support" section.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите Bluetooth-адаптер. Найдите свободный USB-порт на компьютере. Подключите Bluetooth-адаптер к компьютеру. Установите необходимые драйверы.


If you haven't already opened one of these, it will be an important step in beginning to save money. Research different banks in your city and the types of accounts they offer. Ask for complete details about any fees or costs that are associated with each account.  Oftentimes banks have student checking account options that have zero account minimum. Put money earned into your savings account first so it is not immediately useable on your debit card. Each time you receive income from jobs, put a portion in your savings account. It may not be more than $10 or $20, but over time it will add up.  When it is time to pay monthly bills, rent, utilities, etc. consider writing a check to yourself as well, deposited in your savings account.  Employer's can set payroll up to deposit a portion of your check into an account every pay period. Making your savings automatic will help you stay committed to building up available money. Calculate how much income you make each month after taxes, and how much money you receive from other sources (scholarships, loans, parents, etc.). Now calculate your fixed expenses (rent, utilities, bills, etc.) and your flexible expenses (food, clothes, experiences, etc.). If your expenses are greater than your net income, you need to consider what purchases are less important, and what you could cut out, or spend less on in the course of a month. In this case you may also want to consider how else you could bring in more money.  Once you've written a budget and understand how much you can afford to spend in a month, stick to it. Challenge yourself to stay within those lines for at least one month and look at how much you were able to save. If your parents or anyone else are providing you with money, involve them in the process. Make sure it is clear how much each person will be providing and where the money will go. This will help with your budget. Wants are things you enjoy but that aren't necessary for your health or safety. So things like movies, eating out, nice cell phones. Needs are...

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте текущий и накопительный счет. Сначала платите себе. Разработайте бюджет. Составьте список того, что вам нужно, и того, что вы хотите. Используйте кредитные карты только в том случае, если можете вовремя погашать задолженность. Поговорите с финансовым консультантом.


If you haven't already, first create a PayPal business account as described in Part 1. Your customer will be able to click on the payment button on your website and easily make a payment using a credit card, a debit card or a checking account. PayPal also allows you to send invoices with a "Pay Now" button linked to PayPal that allows your customers to pay instantly. Use the "login" bar in the top right.  You'll need to input your email address and the password you chose for your account. " You'll see a button that says "Create payment buttons for your website." Click this button. Using the drop-down menu, you can select a variety of messages for your button - "Buy Now," "Add to Cart," "Donate," and others. Enter the required information about your product or service, then click "Create Button."  If you're selling a product, you'll need to know the cost of shipping and any associated tax so this can be added onto your invoices. At the bottom of the page, you'll see additional options for tracking inventory and customizing your PayPal features. You'll then be taken to a page that contains a box of HTML code. Copy and paste this code into your website's HTML to create a button on your page. To do this, you'll need the ability to edit your website's HTML code.  If you don't know what HTML code is (or you're not confident enough to edit it), consult one of our many guides on the subject, several of which are listed here: HTML How-To Articles  If you employ a web developer, send him or her the HTML code in the body of an email - he or she will be able to add the button to your website.

If you haven't already, take time to organize your notes by topic. Be sure you don't lose the citation information for each piece of information. For example, for our example project, you might organize your notes by "people," "culture," and "cuisine" for your chosen country. Decide how much text you need for each section. Write your text, using your notes to provide the information. Make sure to put the writing in your own words, unless you make a direct quote with quotation marks around it and cite the author. You need to cite where you found each piece of information, anyway, as you must give credit where credit is due. Use Purdue's Online Writing Lab to learn how to cite information. Your teacher should tell you which style guideline she wants you to use. Read through your text to make sure you catch any mistakes. You want your project to shine, and typos make it look bad.  Print out your text. It's easier to catch mistakes in print.  Try reading it aloud. It forces you to slow down, which helps you catch mistakes.  Ask someone else to look over it. It's easier for someone with fresh eyes to catch mistakes. Don't forget to use spellcheck on your computer. It doesn't catch everything, but it will help you catch some mistakes. Now is the time to get your hands dirty. Since you already have a plan of what you want your project to look like, all you have to do is execute it. If you're not particularly artsy, you can use a computer to help you create your graphics and letters. For a project such as a PowerPoint, you'll do everything on your computer. It's still a good idea to have a plan in place so that you can figure out how your slides will be organized and what each slide should look like. Next, you need to add your text into your visual project. You can print off your text, or write it by hand, depending on how you want to style your project. Make sure your organize your text properly; that is, make sure you are putting like ideas together. Ensure your project guides the viewer through ideas. Label...

TL;DR in Russian:

Упорядочьте записи по проекту. Соберите текст воедино. Проверьте текст. Соберите воедино наглядные материалы. Добавьте текст. Направляйте зрителей. Добавьте завершающие штрихи.


If you haven't done so already: Import your video clip into Windows Movie Maker, then Drag the file onto the timeline along the bottom of the window. If you want to speed up the entire video, just leave it as is. If you want to speed up a specific portion of the video, you'll need to split the video into several clips. From the main storyboarding screen, click Tools, then Video Effects. " Scroll through the various video effect options until you find "Speed Up, Double." Left-click and drag this effect to the timeline version of the video clip that you want to speed up – then "drop" the effect onto the clip. This should double the speed of your video clip. Windows Movie Maker does not have a more precise speed-increase effect than the doubling tool. If you want to do something more advanced, you'll need to find another video editor. If you make a mistake, you can simply press Ctrl+Z or click "Undo" to restore the clip to its original speed. You may also apply the "Slow down by half" effect. Navigate to the Video Effects tab again, then drag "Slow down by half" onto the video. Try right-clicking on the timelined clip, then selecting "Effects." You should be able to see the effects that are currently applied to this clip, and remove any effects that don't fit your purpose.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте видео в Windows Movie Maker. Откройте видеоэффекты. Выберите «Ускорить в два раза». Замедлите видео, чтобы сделать его, как прежде.


If you haven't eaten any animal products for your entire life (or even for several years) suddenly consuming meat and dairy products can make you sick.  Any time you introduce a dramatic change into your gut flora, your body will take time to adjust.  You could experience bloating and discomfort for a few days after ending your vegan diet.  If veganism was a big part of your life, giving it up can be hard.  Make the change easy on yourself by adjusting slowly into a standard diet. Introduce one food at a time per week as you reintroduce animal-based products. That way if you have intolerances or issues that persist, you will be able to pinpoint the food you added in that caused the symptoms. Honey is gentle on the digestive system and can easily be incorporated into oatmeal, tea, or baked goods.  Bringing honey back into your diet will officially take you off the vegan wagon, but you're unlikely to notice any difference in your health or condition since it has few to no negative health effects associated with it. Scrambled eggs on toast is a delicious snack, night or day.  Cereal or oatmeal can be prepared easily when you're on the go, or headed out the door in the morning.  Muffins, cakes, and pies often utilize milk and/or eggs in a form which is gentle on the digestive tract.  Try baking some of your favorite baked goods with cow's milk. Anecdotal evidence suggests that trying a small portion of meat as a topping on salad, or a few slices of ham in a sandwich, is the best way to reintroduce yourself to meat.  If you wish, after a week or so, you can transition to more substantial portions of meat like chicken breast and hamburgers. If you feel sick, remember not to push yourself.  Your body's digestive powers vary with the type and quantity of food consumed. Transitioning away from a diet you may have believed was the one true path can be hard.  You might be made to feel guilty, or experience shame due to the perception you've “lapsed” or let yourself down.  While it's understandable to be sad about...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните с малого. Ешьте мед. Попробуйте вегетарианские блюда с добавлением животного молока и яиц. Постепенно начните возвращать мясо в свой рацион. Смиритесь с новой системой питания и образом жизни. Если у вас есть вопросы о своем здоровье, обратитесь к врачу.


If you haven't logged in for several months, Neopets will ask you for your birthdate. Try your real one first. You only get 3 guesses, so don't guess randomly yet. If you friended someone on Neopets who still has access to his account, ask him to log in. He can view your account's profile and look for the Age entry, which is based on the birthday you entered. Use this to figure out the year of your birthday. You're down to 365 guesses (plus one if it was a leap year), but if you're lucky you used your real birthday month and day. Try that first.  For example, you view your profile on September 1, 2015, and it says you are 20 years old. Your birthday must be between September 1, 1994 and October 31, 1995. Only friends can see your age. You cannot make a new account and try to friend your original one, since your original account needs to accept the invitation. Many people didn't enter their real birthdate, either to avoid spreading personal information or to avoid asking parents for permission. You only have 3 birthday guesses per day, so make them count:  Try January 1, 1900. (An obvious fake option if you were pretending to be over 18.) Try the birthdays of friends and family members. Visit Neopets help and click "Create a ticket." You will need to log in to Neopets, but you can easily create a new account and use it to contact customer support. Include the following information, or as much of it as you can remember:  User name of the account you can't access Summary of your problem: how long it's been since you accessed your account Email addresses that might be linked to the account. State which ones you have access to and which ones you do not. Your real birthday Whether or not you've purchased Neocash (spent real money) (if remembered) names of your Neofriends, items in your closet or equipped to your pet You'll usually get an email within a few days, but it can take a month or longer if you're unlucky. Sending a new ticket will not speed up the response. Once they respond, here are the most common next...

If you haven’t already, shut down and unplug before attacking the adhesive. If you can remove the battery, it’s also a good idea to do so whenever you clean your laptop. You’ll use water or another liquid to clean your laptop, and you don’t want to risk shocking yourself or damaging the computer. Soak a clean microfiber cloth with hot water, then wring it out well. Rub the gunky spot with tight, circular motions and firm pressure. With a little elbow grease, you should be able to scrub away the residue in a couple of minutes. Take care not to get moisture into any openings in the laptop. Damage due to liquids usually isn’t covered by warranties. If the area still feels sticky or gunky, run the cloth under hot water again and squeeze a drop of dish soap onto a corner. Rub the corner a bit with your fingertips to lather the soap, then wipe down the sticky area.  When you’re finished, use the non-soapy parts of the wet cloth to wipe away any suds. Never pour dish soap, spray aerosols, or apply any other cleaning solution directly onto your laptop. Always apply a cleaner with a cloth. Once you’ve finished wiping off the adhesive, dry the surface with another clean, lint-free cloth. Drying off the area helps prevent streaking, especially if you’ve removed a large sticker from your laptop’s outer cover.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выключите ноутбук и отключите его от источника питания. Попробуйте сначала вытереть клей влажной тканью без ворса. При необходимости капните на ткань немного мягкого средства для мытья посуды. Протрите поверхность сухой тканью.


If you haven’t already, you need to open up to your spouse about how you feel. Let them know things aren’t working, and you’re afraid that your marriage might be over. Try to be calm, and do your best not to seem angry or blame them. Mention specific issues, such as, “We don’t treat each other kindly anymore, and I can’t remember the last time we said more than 2 words to each other. We seem to hold resentment for each other, and I don’t think this environment is good for either of us.” If you or your spouse refuse to acknowledge the problem and try to fix it, it’s impossible to save your marriage. One person can’t resolve a conflict on their own, so both of you must commit to fixing the marriage.  If you’re willing to try to work things out, you might say, “We both have a lot of work to do, but I’m willing to put forth the effort. Will you consider seeing a counselor and trying to rebuild our connection?” As scary as it is, making yourself vulnerable could be a crucial first step. Your partner might not even know that saving your marriage is important to you. Problems arise when both spouses have polar opposite visions of the future. Having different goals doesn't always end a marriage, but you and your spouse need to find a way to compromise if things are going to work.  If you both share the goal of trying to preserve your marriage, you have a stronger chance of reconciling. However, it might be best to part ways if one of you thinks their job, dating other people, or having more independence takes priority over the marriage. Other examples that might underlie your conflict include disagreements regarding where to live, whose career goals are prioritized, and whether or not to have children. If you both decide to work on your marriage, you should see a couples therapist and consider seeking individual therapy. A licensed therapist can help you identify issues that underlie your conflict, develop skills to resolve disagreements without attacking each other, and provide an objective perspective on your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прямо сообщите о своих беспокойствах. Определите готовность обоих партнеров приложить усилия и попытаться сохранить брак. Обсудите ваши цели и планы. Обратитесь к  семейному психологу. Сохраняйте спокойствие и запаситесь терпением, если вы решились на развод.


If you haven’t been able to change your partner’s ways by dropping hints, you may need to talk to them about what they prefer. You’re not the only one involved in this kissing thing; your partner may just like things a bit differently than what you’re used to. Here are a couple things you can ask:  ”Do you like the way I use my tongue?” You might find out that your expectations don’t exactly match up. ”Is there something you wish I was doing?” While you might be doing everything right, there might be a little extra your partner would like. ”Is there anything I do while we kiss that you don’t like?” This question is a bit more open ended, but opens the floor for honesty. Your partner can’t guess what you like. Dropping hints is subtle and won’t hurt anyone’s feelings, but sometimes it’s just too subtle. If you haven’t been able to change your partner’s ways, you might need to be more overt about your wishes.  Be very specific, for instance mention exactly how passionate you expect kissing to be; otherwise it can feel rather forceful. It’s important to approach this kind of sensitive topic with tact. Don’t be overly critical, and try to reinforce your partner’s positive behaviors. In the worst-case scenario, you have two choices: lower your standards or break up with the bad kisser. If the person is wonderful in all other respects and if kissing just isn't that important to you, just live with it. If you really need a good kisser, you have to end the relationship.  If you try to communicate your needs early and the person still doesn't adapt, they probably won't be responsive to your needs in other areas either and won't make a good long-term partner for you anyway. It's hard to break up with someone, but remember that you'll be better off and, hopefully, that person will also finally take the hint and become a better partner for someone in the future.

TL;DR in Russian:

Спросите партнера, что ему нравится. Поделитесь своими предпочтениями. Подумайте об ультиматуме.


If you hear a pop, your rod is bent and line is stripping off of the reel at top speed, then you've probably hooked a bluefin. Keep the rod tip pointed at the fish. The rods can be stored in the cabin or in the opposite gunwale from the hooked line. Clear the deck as needed.  Steer the boat so that the line is 45 degrees aft and off of the gunwale. If the bluefin turns and starts to swim toward you, your line may go slack and fool you into believing that your catch got away. Reel as fast as you can to keep up with the fish and to restore the tightness of the line. After a few runs, the tuna will start to circle under your boat. Apply constant pressure to wear down your fish by inching the drag up and switching to a lower gear on your reel to bring the fish up toward the boat. Make sure that you pull the fish away from your engine so that your line doesn't get caught in the props. When your bluefin sees your boat, it may make another break for it. Aim to get the dart behind the fish's shoulder. Gaff the fish in the head and pull it against the boat to tail rope it. When the fish comes over the side of the boat, put your reel in free spool and keep your finger on the spool to keep the rod from loading up with the fish hits the deck. If your fish swallowed the hook, then cut your line to release the fish.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прислушайтесь к воздушному шарику. Рукой в перчатке схватите удочку и катушку, убедитесь, что леска остается натянутой. Пусть другие люди свернут и соберут остальные удочки, их можно убрать в кабину или на противоположный от заброшенной лески планшир. Поднимите якорь и запустите двигатель. Переставьте удочку на вертлюжное крепление для борьбы. Определите направление тунца. Во время первых рывков туго держите леску. Ожидайте смертного круга. Подготовьтесь к очередному раунду, когда рыба покажется на поверхности. Ударьте рыбу гарпуном, когда она появится рядом с лодкой. Потяните рыбу в сторону угла, чтобы позволить старому морскому волку попасть в цель. Поднимите рыбу в лодку и пустите кровь, пока она еще жива. Вытащите крючок.


If you honestly feel that you can’t rip yourself away from playing World of Warcraft during a raid, consider making that a “home” only game.  Other game considerations include a game that doesn’t require sound (a total giveaway) or a tremendous amount of flash, which may slow down your (and your coworkers') system. The last thing you need is to sneak a game into work only to destroy the entire server with a virus, thus blowing your cover and most likely any security you might have at work. Run virus software for each game and/or scrub and clean the game. While your plan is not to get busted playing games at work, if you are discovered, you’ll at least want to make sure the games contain PG type/E-rated content and material. If you bring games that have an M rating and contain criminal or sexual content, you could be in more trouble than just being busted for gaming.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите 2 или 3 игры, которые позволят вам расслабиться, но в то же время не заберут все ваше внимание. Если вы выберете онлайн-игру, то убедитесь, что в ней нет вирусов. Проверьте содержание игры и ее описание.


If you inform the police that your phone has gone missing, they may be able to provide limited assistance locating it. Call 911, or the non-emergency police number, to contact your local police office. Local law enforcement will likely ask you for the serial number for your phone. The Android ID number functions as a serial number; you can find your Android ID by removing the battery from the back of your phone and looking beneath. The Android ID will be a series of numbers preceded by the identifier “IMEI” (International Mobile Equipment Identity). When you reach out to the police, say something like, “Hello, I believe that my cell phone has been stolen. It went missing roughly 10 minutes ago, and I first realized the phone was gone when I was outside of the public library on Main St.” If you’ve called your phone and looked for it without results, you need to call your phone service provider and inform them that your phone has been stolen. The service provider may be able to run a GPS search to locate your missing phone. If a GPS search is not an option—or if the results are fruitless—ask your service provider to suspend service to your phone. This will prevent the thief from making phone calls and potentially racking up an expensive phone bill. Think back to where you may have been when your phone was stolen, and then retrace your steps in that area. The thief may have quickly changed their minds after taking your phone and, if you’re lucky, may have dropped the phone within a few hundred yards of where they stole it. Walk through places where you spent time before your phone was stolen, and continue calling your phone while looking for it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь к органам власти. Сообщите оператору. Попробуйте поискать телефон.


If you insult someone without taking a moment to gather your wits, you'll probably just be plain defensive or come across as confused. When you insult them, take a small amount of time to think about it. Not too much or they'll catch on, but a long pause is just fine. If you're short on ideas use a previous insult and modify it. Chances are, they won't catch it. Take a few deep breaths (draw your breath in noisily if it helps) concentrate on what needs to be said and draw on your pre-rehearsed comebacks (see step 2). Think up appropriate ways to insult the different people who might insult you. If you have a starting point, the rest will come easier. If you don't take their insults seriously, they won't be able to insult you seriously.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, прежде чем реагировать. Придумайте оскорбления в свободное время. Если вы не будете принимать их оскорбления серьезно, они не смогут серьезно оскорбить вас.


If you just need a quick beat for recording a video for Youtube or something like that, you can use a free Javascript program. There are a number of these online, which will allow you to create a basic beat. If you're wanting something cheap but a little more powerful, there are a number of apps for Android or iOS that you can use. These may cost only a dollar or two, or be free altogether. Try to get one which exports mp3s. There are sound softwares, like Audacity, which are high quality but free. These take a little more work, training, and skill, since you will have to engineer the audio yourself. Audacity, for example, will require you to have sound samples and to stitch them together yourself, but the final product can sound much more professional and you'll have a lot more control.    There are professional sound programs which you can use if you're serious about making music. These are very expensive, usually several hundred dollars, but they are what the pros use and what pros will expect. You will need a great sample library to go along with these programs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте бесплатную онлайн программу. Используйте приложения. Воспользуйтесь бесплатной звуковой программой. Приобретите профессиональные программы.


If you just spilled soda in your car, act immediately by diluting the stain. Pour cool water over the entire stain, wetting but not drenching the stain. Then blot it with a clean cloth.  Adding water keeps the stain at the surface of the upholstery and prevents it from setting. Blot the stain as opposed to rubbing it. Blotting encourages the stain to lift, whereas rubbing can force the stain deeper into the upholstery. If the stain is old, still add water to the stain and blot briefly before turning to other methods. Just blotting alone won't eliminate an old stain, but it is still a good way of loosening the stain so that you can tackle it with other, more powerful methods. Cleaning with baking soda is a highly effective method of removing many kinds of stains, including soda stains. Combine ¼ cup (59.15 ml) of baking soda with 1 cup (236.59 ml) of warm water and mix until you achieve a white paste. After you have mixed up the baking soda paste, use a toothbrush to apply it to the stain. Use gentle brushing motions to apply it to the entire stained area. Leave the paste on the stain for a half an hour.  A toothbrush is a great tool to use because its bristles help to work the baking soda paste into the fabric. Leaving it to sit for a half an hour also helps the baking soda to penetrate the upholstery. After a half an hour, use a clean cloth to gently blot the stain. Use dabbing motions to lift up both the soda and the baking soda paste from the upholstery. The baking soda paste should have worked to lift up some or all of the soda stain. If the stain is still present, make another cleaning solution by mixing ¼ cup (1.23 ml) of vinegar, a few squirts of dish detergent, and about 3 tablespoons (44.37 ml) of warm water in a spray bottle. Use the spray bottle to spray the vinegar solution onto the stain. Both vinegar and dish detergent are powerful cleaning agents that help to lift stains. Vinegar is also quite effective for removing soda stains containing bright dyes, such as grape or orange soda. After you...

If you just want to make a new insert for a jewel case that you already have, remove the old one, or clean up the jewel case some for the new cover. Remove stickers, fingerprints, and other markings from the case with a fine cloth and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Alternatively, you may find it easier to buy new jewel cases for your CD or for burned CDs. Full-size, with the capacity for back covers, and half-size jewel cases are available, usually in bulk. Since they have a tendency to break over time, it's a good idea to buy new ones. Get some heavy-duty cardstock that's still thin enough to fit inside the jewel case comfortably and cut it to size using a paper-cutter, or scissors. Use the following dimensions as a guide:  Front cover: 4.724 inches x 4.724 inches (120mm x 120 mm) Back cover: 5.906 inches x 4.646 inches (150 mm x 118 mm The image you create for the cover can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Consider the songs that are on the CD and the image they create, and start going through old magazines, text books, snapshots, and other materials for collage elements. It's usually a goo idea to use a pencil to lightly draw in where your CD cover images will be placed before you get started, as a template, but it's also good to just start free-handing if you want to experiment.  Old textbooks can be a great source of weird images and diagrams that can make for good CD art. Head to the thrift store or the library for toss-aways that you can cut up. Try combining disparate elements to make for weirdness. A picture from a cereal box can look suddenly great for a punk rock CD, when everyone's eyes are cut out. When you have your images, start gluing them on, using a simple glue stick. It might seem too primitive, but a good quality Elmer's glue stick or rubber cement is usually the best way of getting the pieces down on the base. You can hand-write the text onto the image lightly, using pencil and then going over it with dark marker, or you can print out individual words and glue them...

If you know about the test ahead of time, start tapering your usage as much as possible to make it through the week before the test more easily. You'll be taking it easier on your body if you use less tobacco over a period of two weeks, leading up to the test. This will also make your chances of quitting entirely much more likely.  Try smoking or using about half the amount of tobacco you normally use, each day, progressively tapering down. Start as soon as you find out about the test. If you know about the test far enough out, start using the gum or patches as quickly as possible to address the psychological addiction as quickly as possible. If you want to smoke, just wait. Don't give in right away. Give it ten minutes, and do something else. It won't be as bad as you think, and the craving may dissipate. At the end of that ten minutes, re-evaluate your craving. As you work to quit, keep extending that amount of time that you delay each one. The cravings will become more and more manageable, the more you can control them. If you're a moderate to heavy user of any type of nicotine, cutting it off abruptly will come with a variety of physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Depending on your usage, they may be mild or severe, including symptoms like anxiety, sleeplessness, and headaches.  The first three days will be the worst. You'll likely feel anxious, and probably have a headache, and have some trouble sleeping. Just stay focused on getting through those first three days, and then it'll get easier. Unfortunately, you won't be able to use nicotine replacements like patches or lozenges during the week leading up to the test, because the test will flag this cotinine in your system. You'll need to be off all nicotine completely leading put to the test. If you regularly have a cigarette with a cup of coffee, or during your break at work, identify those situations so you can better anticipate them and prepare for them, possibly avoiding those situations entirely, or finding a suitable replacement. Have a...

If you know how to flirt with a guy without even saying anything, he will be turned on -- fast. If you know how to work your body, you don't even have to say hello to make a guy feel hot and heavy. A few small things you do with your body can make a big difference. Here are a few ways to flirt through your body language:  Hold the guy's gaze -- but not for too long. Look at the guy, lock eyes for just long enough for him to see how sexy you are, and then look away. This will show that you're not afraid to look at him, but that you're also too coy to stare. Keep your body open. Don't fold your arms over your chest or cross your legs. Your body should be saying, "Hey, what's up?" If you're wearing something with a zipper or a necklace, fiddle with the area near your cleavage to get his attention. Find ways to brush up against the guy. If you're already talking, lightly graze his knee, brush up against his hand, or place a hand on his forearm when you're laughing. Do it for just long enough that he wants more. Don't linger. Occasionally lick your lips. If he's watching you from across the room, take the time to apply your lip balm. Once you've hooked a guy with your body language and he wants to get to know you, you need to get him even more excited by your words. To say something flirty, you just have to be fun, show that you know how to laugh and tease, and make the guy even more turned on even if you're not saying anything life-shattering. Here's how to do it:  Keep it light. Remember to be fun and playful, and the guy will want you even more. Flirting isn't about being serious, but about showing you're interested and having fun. Maintain eye contact while you talk. Make the guy feel important. Occasionally break eye contact to look at your feet or blush, and the guy will think you're demure and will be even more attracted to you. Speak in a soft voice.

If you know in advance that you’ll need to go without sleep, try to get extra rest in the days leading up. Go to bed an hour or so earlier than usual and let yourself sleep in a bit. Aim for 9 or even 10 hours of sleep in these prep days. Getting lots of sleep beforehand ensures that you’ll go into your days awake feeling rested and energetic. so you don’t build up a tolerance. You'll be taking in plenty of caffeine during your time awake. If you use too much in the days leading up to it, your body will get used to it and you’ll need to have even more to feel the effects. Start cutting down your intake of coffee, caffeinated tea, soda, energy drinks, and other items containing caffeine by a little bit each day.  Try drinking herbal teas, decaf coffee, or non-caffeinated soda to ease the transition. If you can’t completely cut out caffeine before your time awake, try to consume a little less of it. You probably already have a good reason for staying up for multiple days, like a big project, but you could also look for other activities that can help fill the time. The more engaged your brain is, even with something like reading or watching television, the more likely you’ll be to stay awake. Things like going for walks outside, listening to upbeat music, exercising, or playing video games can help you stay alert and awake when you’re feeling sleepy. Regular food and drink can help keep you going during the day. Caffeinated drinks like coffee and tea will definitely help you stay up, but so can healthy foods, and eating enough will help you keep your energy going. Look for foods like:  Fish, such as salmon Citrus fruits like oranges and tangerines Eggs Leafy greens like kale, chard, and watercress Beans Walnuts Having a friend to talk and work with you can help you stay awake and motivated. If you’d rather be left alone, though, telling others that you’re planning to stay up will let them know to stay away and let you work in peace. No matter what, you should ask your friends to check in on you periodically and...

If you know someone who's good at math, have them look over your work when you're done. You can ask a parent for help, a tutor you hired, or a friend or family member who excels at math.  If you're very confused, choose someone with a lot of patience who's good at explaining things. Your cousin may be a whiz at math, but he may be short-tempered and judgmental. He may snap at you for not understanding something. Instead, ask your sister who's usually calm. Do not be embarrassed to ask for help. It can take a long time to improve your math skills, and everyone needs some help along the way. If you're trying to improve your math skills outside of school, you can try taking an online course. Universities like Kaplan provide an array of online courses, and many colleges have classes online students can take remotely.  Some schools provide certain aspects of a course, like PowerPoint presentations and taped lectures, for free online. You can also look into an auditing a course at a local college. If money is an issue, auditing a course can allow you to gain knowledge for no cost. If you are in school, your school may have a math resource center. Many campuses have a center where students can go for one-on-one math tutoring. Check to see if a math center is available at your school. If it is, make use of the resource.  If your school does not have a resource center, it may have a general resource center where you can get help on a variety of subjects. You can also see if your professor does review sessions. If you're confused by a subject, a review session with a professor can help you better understand that subject. Sometimes, explaining a concept to another person can help you understand it more. If you're finally getting your calculus course, and a friend is struggling, you could try offering to help him or her. You could also form a study group. If anyone is struggling with something you're beginning to understand, you can offer to help.  When helping, explain the subject material as clear as you possibly can....

If you know that you look like a confident, capable person, eventually you'll start to feel like a winner, too. You should dress how you feel best — not what you think confident is. Try these tricks:  Devote a little time each day to personal hygiene and making sure you're presenting yourself well. Shower daily, brush and floss your teeth, and groom your skin and hair. Dress for confidence. You don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe to feel better in your clothes. As long as you're clean, comfortable, and feel good, you're set up for confidence! Remember, you look more confident when you are enjoying what you wear! Be careful not to base your confidence on your outside appearance. Practice wearing clothes that make you feel unconfident for a whole day and try feeling confidence without basing it on appearance. After all, you wouldn't wear a three-piece suit on a pizza delivery. If you think you look good, odds are you probably do. How you carry yourself communicates a lot to other people, so make sure you're telling them that you're confident and in-charge. Keep your shoulders back, your spine straight, and your chin high. Walk with purpose instead of dragging your feet, and sit up straight. When you look like a confident person on the outside, you'll be approached as one by the world around you. You won't only fool everyone else -- you'll fool yourself too. Recent research shows that the positioning of your body cues your mind to feel a certain way -- so positioning yourself confidently will make you genuinely feel in charge. And to top it off, having confident body language has been linked to lower levels of stress, too. . Keep your grin in easy reach -- you'd be surprised how even the smallest of smiles can disarm many a social situation and make everyone feel more comfortable. In fact, research shows that smiling reduces stress hormones in the brain. Can you imagine approaching someone who's scowling? No, thank you. If you're worried your smile is fake, keep it small. A fake smile can be spotted from a...

If you know where the file is, you can navigate to it by simply opening the appropriate folder. For example, if you're trying to delete a picture or a text file, you will likely want to look in the default "Documents" folder, which typically holds those file types. If you don't know where your file is, type its name into the Start search bar, right-click the file when it pops up, and click Open file location to go directly to the file. Doing so will make the deletion process easier as you won't have to change the deletion location from within Command Prompt. The exception to this rule is if you're trying to delete a file from the "System32" folder, which is Windows' system files folder. If that's the case, leave your file there. This will prompt a drop-down menu. It's at the bottom of the drop-down menu. The file's extension is listed near the top of the "General" tab in the "Properties" window, to the right of the "Type of file:" text. You'll need to know your file's extension in order to delete it using Command Prompt. Common extensions include the following:   .txt - Text files (files made in Notepad).  .docx - Microsoft Word files.  .jpg or .png - Picture files.  .mov, .wmv, .mp4 - Video files.  .mp3, .wav - Sound files.  .exe - Executable files (e.g., a setup file).  .lnk - Shortcut files. Deleting a shortcut will not remove the attached program from your computer. Once you know the file extension, you're ready to open and use Command Prompt.

If you know where your cat sprayed, you can begin removing the odor by thoroughly cleaning the area. Your first step is to grab some paper towels. If it is a very large spot, you might want to use a cloth towel that you can either immediately wash or throw away.  Using paper or cloth towels, wipe up the urine. If the spray has already dried, pour a cup of cold water on the dried spot, then wipe that up with your towels. If the spot is on the carpet, pour some cold water on the spot. Blot that up with the towels before adding cleaning products. Blot the stain. Do not rub the stain into carpet, furniture, or other material, such as clothing. That will cause the stain to set, which you want to avoid. There are many products you can purchase that will help you get rid of cat spray odor. It is important to choose a product that does not contain ammonia, so read the ingredients before purchasing. The smell of ammonia can cause cats to repeatedly mark that spot.  Choose an enzymatic cleaner. Several different brands make these cleaning sprays. The enzymes effectively break down the compounds in cat urine that create lingering odors. If you are unsure whether a product is enzymatic, ask a store employee. Most pet stores now stock several brands of these cleaners. Follow the directions on the bottle. Spray the soiled area, allow to soak in, then blot with clean towels. If the sprayed area is on carpet or a rug, follow the same instructions. Then vacuum the area to help thoroughly remove the stain. If you don't want to use a chemical cleaner, you can make your own natural cleaning solution. Mix 100 ml of white vinegar with 200 ml of warm water. Place in a clean, empty spray bottle and shake well.  After you have wiped up the urine, spray your cleaning mixture on the soiled area. Blot dry with clean cloths or paper towels. You can also mix 5.5 oz of hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. In a clean plastic container, such as a small bucket, add 1 squirt of liquid hand soap. Mix well with a wooden or plastic...

If you know you have done something wrong, or offended someone, you should directly apologize. Be sincere about your mistakes and what you have learned from them. This will help put you on the right track for good karma. Try some of the following conversations:  ”I am very sorry about what I said about your cooking last week; I did not mean to hurt your feelings. Can you please forgive me?” ”I am sorry for not calling you last week. Why don’t we get coffee on Friday?” ”I am truly sorry for my actions yesterday. I can understand why you were mad at me.I will never do anything like that again .” ”I didn’t mean what I said last week. I’m sorry I was in such a bad mood. Can you forgive me?” If you feel you have bad karma but are not sure of the direct reasons, a good place to start is to write down what you feel you have done wrong. Think about a specific time in the past, like a day or a week, and list out what you’ve done that may have given you negative karma. This will give you a good starting point on how you can repair your negative karma. Think about:  Did you offend someone by your words? Did you offend someone by your actions? Did you neglect or forget to do something you were supposed to? Did you lie or cheat about something? Did you break a set rule or law? Have you been selfish or neglectful? You may know what you have done to receive bad karma. However, you must also understand why your actions negatively impacted you and those around you. To do this, you can meditate or reflect on your actions. There are different meditation techniques:  Breathing meditations -- This type of meditation focuses on controlling your breathing.This will calm your mind and promote inner peace. In a quiet place, sit in a comfortable position. Partially close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Become aware of the sensation of breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Practice this movement until your mind starts to clear and you begin to relax. Transforming meditations -- This type of meditation is...

If you know you'll be exercising and perspiring, make sure to apply talc-free and alum powders to the areas that usually get the sweatiest. Wet skin will make chafing worse, so get out of wet clothes as soon as you're done exercising. Clothes that are too tight fitting can irritate your skin and cause chafing. Wear synthetic clothes that fit snugly. Clothing that sits close to your skin will prevent the friction that causes chafing. If you're exercising, don't wear cotton and try to dress as minimally as possible. Make sure you don't wear clothes that have seams or straps that rub. If you notice rubbing or irritation when you first put it on, the rubbing will only get worse after several hours of wearing it. Better to choose something more comfortable that doesn't chafe your skin. This is especially true if you're exercising. Drinking lots of water will let your body sweat easier, which prevents salt crystals from forming. Salt crystals on your skin can be a source of friction, causing chafing. You'll need A & D ointment, which is usually used for diaper rash, and petroleum jelly. Combine 1 cup of each in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of vitamin E cream and 1/4 cup aloe vera cream. Stir the mixture well. It will be pretty stiff, but you can spread it on chafed skin. Spread the lubricant on areas that usually chafe before you plan on exercising or sweating. It can also help heal chafed skin and prevent blisters. If you're overweight, you may notice more chafing. This is especially true if you notice chafing on your thighs. Losing some of the weight will help prevent excess skin from rubbing together in the future. Start by exercising and incorporating healthy food into your diet. You can do an exercise that doesn't cause significant chafing, like swimming weightlifting, or rowing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за тем, чтобы кожа была сухой. Носите подходящую одежду. Пейте больше воды. Приготовьте собственное средство от натертостей. Похудейте.


If you lack the time, resources, or interest in doing the curse jar, you can also use psychology to make your target believe they are cursed.  Simply scaring your target with words or evil glares, or doing things to sabotage their everyday life, will yield the desired results. Again it must be said, however, that your energy is better spent focusing on improving your own situation, rather than on making someone else's life harder. The saying, “living well is the best revenge,” applies here. The more convinced your target is that they are cursed, the more effective your curse will be. In addition to using the jar, get in your target's head by letting them catch you staring at them evilly or by saying unsettling things to them. If you're not confident that you can say anything truly frightening to your target, stick to the evil stare. It's important that they realize you have it in for them and that they're worried about it. If your target is someone who physically bullies you, you might want to avoid speaking to and/or staring at them, as this could compromise your own safety. Studies have shown that taking placebos can help people think themselves better. You can harness this knowledge to achieve negative results, too. Popular things to say regard general body functions, including, but not limited to, sleeping (“You'll never have a restful sleep again”) and touch (“You will destroy everything you touch”). When verbally cursing your target to their face, be general. That way, your target is more likely to see your curse as being fulfilled when something that remotely fits the description happens.  For example, if you say “You will destroy everything you touch” and then a few days later the person drops a glass or even just stumbles while tying their shoe, your curse might pop into their head. From there, as your target's anxiety grows, the curse will become stronger. Your target will fulfill your curse for you, and all you did was put the thought into their head. Studies have shown that people who are...

If you land on Chance, draw the top card from the Chance pile and follow its instructions. Then, place the Chance card face up on the discard pile. Once all the Chance cards have been played, turn the discard pile over and start again. (You may want to shuffle the cards first.) Follow the instructions for the space you land on as if you had landed on it from a roll of the die. If you land on or pass Go, collect $2 from the Bank. Keep your token on its present space, and follow the instructions for placing Ticket Booths. The instructions for placing Ticket Booths include:  If either of the Amusements of the color indicated on the card is unoccupied, put your Ticket Booth on that Amusement. If both are unoccupied, choose the Amusement you want to place your Ticket Booth on. If both Amusements are occupied by Ticket Booths of different colors, replace the Ticket Booth on the Amusement of your choice with your own. Return the displaced Ticket Booth to its owner. If both Amusements are occupied by Ticket Booths of the same color, they cannot be replaced. Discard the Chance card and draw another, following its instructions.

If you live in a coastal community, you probably have an evacuation route, even if you're not aware of it or if it's not often talked about. In short, it'll be the quickest way to reach high ground. You want to be, ideally, 2 miles (3.2 km) away from shore and at least 100 feet (30.5 m) above sea level.  If you are a tourist, ask your hotel or various approachable locals about policy, if you're concerned. Familiarize yourself with the terrain so if the worst were to happen, you could fend for yourself. Even though you'll probably be following everyone else, know that they're heading for high ground, too, and you should do the same. And those evacuation routes won't really do you much good if you don't practice them. So round up the kids and the family dog and...GO. How long does it take to reach your safety spot? Are there any potential issues that could crop up? Do you know how to reach your back-up route in the event one is impassable or jammed? You want one available for wherever you may be when the time comes. Worst-case scenario is you get caught somewhere for a few days before evacuations start happening, so you want 72 hours worth of goods. Put in things like a roll of toilet paper, first aid equipment, energy bars, and water. Here's a list to get you started:  Water (A large amount to last for about a week) A prepaid sim card in a phone (Be sure the phone has a long lasting battery) Canned or packaged foods (A large amount to last for about a week) Flashlight (hand cranked flashlights are a good idea) Radio (tuned to NOAA station that gives the "all clear" signal) Sanitary items such as toilet paper, moist towelettes, garbage bags, zip ties, hand sanitizer. First aid equipment (band-aids, gauze pads, etc.) Whistle Map Tools (wrench to turn off utilities, manual can opener) Duct tape Spare clothes Anything for individuals with specific needs (infants, elderly, etc.) If you're at work, the kids are at school, and your spouse is at home, all the group planning in the world won't do you any good.

If you live in a democratic society, voting is a crucial part of contributing to both your local and national community. To be a responsible voter, research ballot issues and candidates ahead of time, and vote for the individuals and policies that you think will most directly benefit society. For example, research and vote on often-overlooked local issues like taxation, city management, and county regulations. Working a job is a great way to contribute to society, whether directly or indirectly. If you’d like your work to directly benefit your community, you could look for jobs that involve helping local people or infrastructure. For example, you could work as a firefighter or a construction worker, at an animal control center, or as a public servant in a government position.  If you already have a job, look for ways that you can help the community through your place of employment, such as volunteer opportunities or public outreach. If you’re employed, paying taxes is part of your social responsibility. Local, state, and national governments use tax money to improve infrastructure and pay public officials. You can file your taxes through various online sites. A number of accounting businesses offer help with tax filing, and some even let you file your taxes for free.  If you’re unable to pay your taxes, talk to an accountant and see if they can offer any suggestions about deferring tax payments.

If you live in an area where summers are hot, you can have fun and cool off at the same time. Visit the beach or the pool with friends or family.Play swimming games like Marco Polo or Shark Attack, hold swimming races, or get a group of friends together to play water polo. Even if you don't have anywhere to swim, you might find ways to have fun with water. Put on a swimsuit or light clothes you don't mind getting wet, and find some overheated friends to join you in these activities:  Turn on the sprinklers on a lawn and play tag, hide-and-go-seek, or red rover in the middle of the spraying water. Have a water fight. Fill up some water balloons, buy a cheap water gun at the dollar store, or use a garden hose. This can be a fun one-time activity... or the start of a water fight war. A cold beverage or a bowl of ice cream can be wonderful in hot weather. Making them yourself is even better for curing boredom.  Try making homemade ice cream, either with the classic "salt and ice" method or with a method that recreates the creamy, rich taste of real ice cream.  Make popsicles and keep your freezer stocked all summer. Fill your fridge with homemade ginger ale or lemonade. Make an ice lick. Place cold water in a cup with a disposable straw or spoon. Keep it in the freezer for 2 hours, then take it out and eat it while it's cold and yummy. Find a cool, shady room, or make a blanket fort out of light sheets to create a refuge from the sun. Turn on a fan, find a book to read, and wait for the hottest part of the day to pass. Other relaxed indoor activities include sewing, playing solitaire or other card games, watching a movie, or listening to music. As dusk starts to fall and the temperatures cool off, gather a group of friends to play games like hide-and-seek, sardines, freeze tag or capture the flag in a large yard or park. If the evening is still too hot for physical activity, set up a table outside and play card games or board games while the air cools down.  Pick a board game that won't be blown away by wind,...

If you live in the same city, go to the same school, or have the same social circles, it is much more likely that you may run into your ex unexpectedly from time to time.  Be prepared for the possibility of an encounter.  Think about what you might say.  Remember to keep it brief and respectful. Consider how you might respond to certain questions, such as, "Are you seeing anyone new?" or "What have you been doing since we last saw each other?" Think about what you need to do to remain calm. If you know this encounter may be anxiety-provoking, have a friend or person to talk with after you meet you ex unexpectedly. If you were dating your ex for a while, you may have some mutual friends.  Avoid talking badly about your ex with friends of your ex.  Don't force them to choose sides.  If you need to vent about your ex, do so with people who don't know your ex.   Consider talking with people who already were good friends with you well before your ex was in the picture. If you're at a friend's party, and there are many friends of your ex there, keep the conversation light. Avoid trying to start drama, or making people feel uncomfortable.  Most people don't want to feel "caught in the middle" of a break-up. Unexpected encounters with your ex will feel less stressful when you have moved on and found closure in your relationship.  Jumping into a new relationship may indicate that you've moved on, but finding closure is a separate and important thing.  Process what happened in your relationship.  Avoid self-blame or blaming your ex.  Understand that sometimes good people aren't right for each other.  And sometimes, the people you trust will hurt you. Take care of yourself, and focus on self-love.  Do things that make you feel better about life after your ex, and help you to focus on the future. Consider talking with a counselor for an outsider's perspective.   If you become very anxious and overwhelmed in these unexpected moments, a counselor can help to teach you about healthy coping skills. Talk with your friends and...

If you live near or can visit a suitable labyrinth, this will be an ideal place to meditate or take your spiritual walk. Labyrinths are typically found in such places as church courtyards or within churches, parks, spa resorts, educational institutions and even medical facilities, such as hospital gardens. Always seek one in a reasonably quiet and unhurried place, where you can walk the labyrinth undisturbed and stay at peace. The Labyrinth Society and Veriditas have collaborated on a website called the World-Wide Labyrinth Locator at http://labyrinthlocator.com/. Go to the website and type in the town, state or country where you are searching. You can also pick a radius, such as "within 25 miles (40 km)." A list of public labyrinths in churches, hospitals, parks, etc. with addresses will show up. There may be some private labyrinths on the list as well where the owners will allow people to walk if they call ahead. If you're not able to find a labyrinth, it is possible to create your own. Indeed, doing so can serve as part of the creative process and will help you to unwind literally, as the labyrinth unfolds before you. To make one, find a suitable area of sand, dirt or other ground material in which you can draw lines. Alternatively, tape down a lot of white paper and paint yourself a labyrinth on the ground. If making your own labyrinth in sand or soil, here are some suggestions for creating it:  Draw a cross measuring about 1.8 meters or 6 feet across. Place a dot in each quadrant of the cross. Draw four curving lines that head clockwise in direction:  Join the top of the cross to the top right dot Join the top left dot to the right arm of the cross Join the left arm of the cross to the bottom right dot Circle from the bottom left dot around to the bottom arm of the cross.   For more details, see How to draw a labyrinth. Take note of all the things you're experiencing, including the sun or breeze on your skin, the texture of the sand or soil beneath your feet and drawing stick and notice sounds about you...
