Contrary to popular belief, keeping lovebirds as a single pet is not frowned upon by breeders and experts so don’t be too concerned about purchasing more than one lovebird at a time. In fact, introducing another lovebird to your lovebird at a later date can be dangerous, as the older lovebird may try to harm or kill the new bird. Another risk of keeping more than one lovebird is that the birds will want to bond with each other, rather than you, their owner.  If you do want to keep more than one lovebird at a time, introduce the bird when they are both very young. Groups of lovebirds create social hierarchies, so there is one alpha bird and every bird follows the alpha. Another common myth is that lovebirds can be mean or aggressive, especially female lovebirds who are marking their territory or their cage. Most breeders agree that male lovebirds make better pets, though males can also show territorial behavior and chirp at any fingers that enter their cage. Most lovebirds, male and female, have mild temperaments. To counteract any aggression from them, it’s important that you train your lovebird to prevent nipping. There are many different breeds of lovebirds, but the three most popular breeds are:  Peach-faced lovebirds: These little birds are the most commonly kept breed. They stand at 5-inches tall, with green and blue plumes, and have a rosy colored face. Peach-faced lovebirds have been bred into hundreds of color mutations, from pure white albino birds to deep purple birds. Masked lovebirds: This breed has eye-rings, a black mask, an orange beak, yellow chest feathers, and green wings. Some breeders consider masked lovebirds more aggressive than the two other more common breeds. Fischer’s lovebirds: Also known as eye-ring lovebirds, as they have a white ring around their eyes. They are smaller than peach faced and masked lovebirds and have a distinct, high pitched chirp. Most breeders agree that Fischer’s are more aggressive than the peach-faced lovebirds or masked lovebirds. Most local pet stores have...

Contrary to popular belief, trimming your split ends doesn't actually make your hair grow any faster. The follicles in your scalp determine the speed at which your hair will grow. When you trim your split ends, you ensure that your new locks are as healthy as possible.  The ends of your hair are the oldest part of your hair and have the most broken follicles, as they are most affected by coloring, curling, and straightening. When you trim the ends, you'll shed these damaged parts. This gives more room for healthy hair to grow in. When your hair grows longer, your cuticle grows weaker and breaks. This leaves the middle strands of your hair unprotected, and your split ends move higher up your hair. Prevent this by taking care of unhealthy split ends quickly. There are many oil treatments that improve the health of your hair. You can buy these natural oils at your local health or vitamin store. By applying one of these treatments weekly, you'll promote the healthy growth of new hair.  Coconut oil contains a large amount of Vitamin E. Vitamin E strengthens your roots by improving your body's circulation. Your hair will grow in much thicker and shinier. Argan oil, while quite expensive, contains a large variety of nutrients that will improve the strength and flow of your hair. Extra-virgin olive oil, the same oil that you use to dress salads, improves scalp health and fights bacteria. Make sure that you're properly applying these oil treatments. Massage a bit of oil, either room temperature or slightly warmer, into your roots and scalp. Let it pass down your tips like you would with any condition. Slip on a shower cap and let the oil sit for about half an hour, then wash and rinse normally. While we often sleep on cotton pillows, the coarser texture of cotton mats your hair while you sleep, causing it to tangle. If you allow your hair to rub against this cotton, your hair will become damaged and unhealthy.  Silk fabrics compare very closely to the structure of human hair, containing 97% amino acids and 3% waxy and...

Controllers often do not know they're controlling. In fact, many controllers feel as though they are being controlled, which may explain why they feel the need to be so assertive. If you are dealing with a spouse who is habitually over-controlling, you will most likely have to convince them that they are controlling, which may take some time.  Be as respectful as possible when having this conversation. If you want to save your marriage, you should not attack your spouse's character. Instead, focus on the kinds of actions or situations that upset you. Use as many examples as possible in explaining what you mean by "controlling." Once you have a conversation with your spouse about their controlling behavior, you will need to make it very clear what you are willing to tolerate. Explain to your spouse in as much detail as possible what kind of behavior needs to be corrected.  You may want to make a list of the biggest problems and brainstorm with your spouse about specific things you can do to avoid those problems in the future. Keep in mind that there is a chance your spouse will think you are controlling as well, so be open to listening to any boundaries that they might propose. Your spouse may need to be reminded of your limits every so often, so it's a good idea to decide what kind of behaviors warrant consequences and what those consequences will be. This should only apply to major offences that cannot be addressed in any other way.  For minor offences, your spouse may benefit from a simple reminder of your boundaries. Don't overuse consequences. Withholding privileges or affection as a consequence for the tiniest offence is what controlling people do! Your consequences may have to be quite serious. For example, you may decide that you will move out of the house if your spouse does not make an effort to treat you with respect over the next month. If your spouse is unwilling to acknowledge the controlling behavior, or if the two of you are unable to correct the issues on your own, consider seeking...

Conventional eggs often come from hens that have been kept in small cages in crowded facilities. Also, conventional eggs often come from hens that have eaten a diet of corn, soy and cottonseed meal, which is then filled with commercial additives. Conventional eggs are safe to eat and still make a good choice of protein. However, many researchers believe that eggs from chickens raised in these conditions are nutritionally inferior. Eggs labeled “organic” by the USDA come from chickens that are kept cage-free with outdoor access. These chickens have not had antibiotics and eat a diet free of animal by-products. In addition, the hens’ diets cannot contain crops grown with chemical pesticides, fertilizers, irradiation, genetic engineering or sewage sludge. Hens that are “free-range” are not only cage-free but are also given access to the outdoors. However, free-range does not necessarily mean that the hens were pastured; it simply means that the hens had the option to go outside. To ensure that you eat truly free-range eggs, purchase eggs from pastured hens. Pastured hens often eat diets that include greens, seeds, worms and bugs, which are more akin to a natural chicken’s diet. Studies have shown that eggs from pastured hens may have more omega-3 fatty acids, more vitamins and less fat and cholesterol. Omega-3 enriched eggs come from hens that were fed a diet rich in omega-3 sources, like flaxseed or algae. Consequently, their eggs are richer in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3’s are thought to promote a healthier nervous system as well as a healthier cardiovascular system. The USDA forbids the use of hormones for egg production. Also, the use of therapeutic antibiotics is forbidden unless hens are ill. However, the only way to ensure that the hens that laid the eggs were antibiotic-free is to purchase organic eggs. Terms like “natural” and “cage-free” are often used in labeling, but these claims may not necessarily be true. Claims on eggs with the USDA shield have been verified by the Department of Agriculture, so...

Conversation groups abound and are usually easily found with a simple Internet search or phone call to your local civic center or library. Train your ears to pick out what is being said. Even if you don't understand it, try to repeat what was said so you can begin to pick it apart and develop comprehension. Lots of Japanese people want to learn English, so you may be able to find some who are willing to help you in exchange for help in English. Simply having friends to trade notes with can help everyone improve their abilities.  Do things with your friends that involve language but aren't "study time." If your Japanese friends haven't lived in your country very long, show them around town. Go sightseeing. Remember, you have to blow off steam regularly or you'll get stressed out about all those Kanji you have to memorize. Having fun is the best way to accomplish two goals at the same time. On the days when you don't have outings, call up a friend every day and have a half-hour conversation during which you speak only Japanese. The more practice you get, the faster you will improve. Whether it's the newspaper, a novel, a movie, or a show, read or watch Japanese language media every day. There is lots of TV content on the internet, from comedy to game shows to drama. Find something which fits your interests and learning will be much easier. Japanese newspapers will expose you to the most practical vocabulary and grammar. As you improve, read novels, which will give you a warmer style of writing. Mix things up by watching classic Japanese films and anime without subtitles, or with Japanese character subtitles. Comic books (Manga) can make good reading material, but be aware that the level of sophistication varies greatly. A more mature, literary comic might be good practice (especially since the illustrations help you understand what you are reading), something intended for smaller children is likely to be full of sound effects and slang. Be careful about repeating what you've read in a comic book. This is simply...

Conversations naturally have times where they drop off or have a lull in them. Typically this is when a new topic starts if you want to keep the conversation going, but it’s also the perfect time to take the steps to end the conversation. Use transition words like so, anyway, or well to begin to say goodbye. Before leaving the conversation, it’s nice to restate some key points of the conversation to let the other person know you were listening. By doing this you also signal to the other person that you are ready for the conversation to end. Try saying something like, “It was really nice talking to you. I didn’t know you were interested in sci fi too! It’s awesome that we have the same favorite movie!” Make one final comment about the topic you’re talking about, and then follow it up with your reason for having to leave. The reason doesn’t have to necessarily be true, but it needs to be believable and urgent enough for you to have to leave. For example, if you’re talking about a book, you can say, “Wow, I don’t remember that in the book. I’ll have to read it again. Well, it was great running into you, but I have to go. I’m late to pick up my friend from work. Have a great afternoon!” If you are at a party and you don’t want to or can’t leave, you can get out of the conversation by introducing the person to someone else. Find someone you know, and call them over to meet the person you’re talking to. After the introduction, kindly excuse yourself to go to the restroom or get more refreshments. Think of a common interest the two people have to start the introduction. For example, you can introduce someone by saying, “Here’s my friend Matt. You two have so much in common! He was also the quarterback of his high school’s football team.”

Convert mixed numbers into improper fractions by multiplying the integer by the denominator and adding the numerator to the product. Convert integers into improper fractions by placing the integer over a denominator of “1.”  Example: 8 + 2 1/4 + 2/3 8 = 8/1 2 1/4; 2 * 4 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9; 9/4  Rewritten equation: 8/1 + 9/4 + 2/3 Implement any of the methods used for finding the LCD of common fractions, as explained in the previous method sections. Note that for this example, we will be using the “listing multiples” method, in which a list of multiples is created for each denominator and the LCD is identified from these lists.  Note that you do not need to create a list of multiples for 1 since any number multiplied by 1 equals itself; in other words, every number is a multiple of 1. Example: 4 * 1 = 4; 4 * 2 = 8; 4 * 3 = 12; 4 * 4 = 16; etc. 3 * 1 = 3; 3 * 2 = 6; 3 * 3 = 9; 3 * 4 = 12; etc. The LCD = 12 Instead of multiplying the denominator alone, you must multiply the entire fraction by the digit required for changing the original denominator into the LCD.  Example: (12/12) * (8/1) = 96/12; (3/3) * (9/4) = 27/12; (4/4) * (2/3) = 8/12 96/12 + 27/12 + 8/12 With the LCD determined and the original equation changed to reflect the LCD, you should be able to add and subtract without difficulty. Remember to simplify the fraction at the end, if possible. Example: 96/12 + 27/12 + 8/12 = 131/12 = 10 11/12

Cook the rice the day before, or use leftover rice in the refrigerator. The important thing to remember is not to heat up the rice, but keep it cold. Having the rice cold helps it not stick. Take the rice out of the refrigerator right before you start to cook. Choose any long-grain rice for the egg fried rice. Jasmine, white, or wheat work well in this recipe. Basmati also works, but the flavor will be masked by the other flavors. Before you begin, beat the egg and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Set it aside for now. Heat oil in the wok until it's starting to smoke. Pour in the peas and carrots and onions. Stir-fry until they start to brown and get tender.  Stir-frying is a cooking method where small pieces of food are quickly cooked in a small amount of hot oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-frying veggies retain their color, crunch, and nutrients. Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender.  Any vegetables work in fried rice. Try tomatoes, broccoli, onions, bean sprouts, carrots, peas, green beans, red or yellow pepper, baby corn, or scallions. Pour the rice into the vegetable stir-fry. Continue stir-frying the rice and vegetable mixture for 3-4 minutes. Using a spatula, slide the stir-fry mix to the side. Pour the egg into the empty spot of the wok and scramble with the spatula. When the egg is cooked, mix into the rice and vegetable stir-fry.  An alternate way to scramble the egg is to slide the rice and vegetables to the side and pour the egg into the wok. Let the egg set for 10 seconds, then use a chopstick to swirl the edges before using the spatula to stir into the entire mixture. Continue frying for another minute.  To make the recipe vegan, simply remove the eggs and substitute fried tofu or another source of vegetable protein. Pour soy sauce on top of the mixture and stir in as you finish frying. You can also stir in a small amount of sesame oil. Transfer to a plate and serve.

Cookies with lighter dough will change color as they cook. The centers may remain a soft golden hue, while the edges may turn more dark gold or light brown. Make sure to remove the cookies before the edges turn dark brown or they'll be burnt. For example, you can test the doneness of peanut butter, oatmeal, and other drop cookies by using this method. If you've topped your cookies with brown sugar or streusel, then check to see if its coloring has changed. The topping should look golden in appearance. If you wait too long to remove your cookies, the topping can burn and turn dark brown. If your bar cookie recipe calls for placing the topping on towards the end of baking, you'll need to keep close watch on the crumbles to make sure they don't burn. The cookie's interior is usually fully cooked by this point. Cookies that contain small amounts of flour, like fudge ecstasies, show their doneness by cracking open at the center and along the edges. It's helpful to look at a photo of a done cookie before baking, so that you'll know what to expect. With these types of cookies, you'll see more firmness and an almost dull color. When a light-colored cookie is done, it should hold its shape. However, it may look a bit puffy or soft in the center, too. This is normal and simply means that the cookie may continue baking on the sheet and rack once removed from the oven. Taking cookies out of the oven at this stage will make them softer and chewier. Whereas, overcooking can create brittleness. In many cases, when darker cookies begin to deepen noticeably in color it means that they are already overdone. To avoid this, it's best to check for doneness using physical methods, not visual ones.

Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the potato and the power of the microwave. Most medium to large potatoes will take between 8-12 minutes to cook at full power.  Try putting the potato in for 5 minutes to begin with, then take it out and turn it over so that both sides cook evenly. Place it back in the microwave for another 3-5 minutes, depending on how soft it is already. After that, if it still doesn't feel fully cooked, continue to microwave it in 1 minute bursts, checking after each minute.  If you are cooking multiple potatoes at once, you will need to increase the cooking time by about two-thirds. For example, if one large potato takes 10 minutes to cook, two large potatoes would take between 16-17 minutes. If you prefer crispy skinned sweet potatoes, you can cook the potatoes in the microwave for 5-6 minutes, then unwrap your sweep potato and transfer it to a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 400 °F (204 °C) for 20 minutes. This method is great if you want oven-crisp potato skins, in less than half the normal cooking time! Unwrap your potato completely and discard the damp paper towel. It's a good idea to let your sweet potato cool for about five minutes. This allows the core of the potato to finish cooking using the heat that is trapped in the inner layers. It also helps it to become fluffy on the inside without over-drying on the outside. If you are saving a potato for someone who's running late, wrapping the potato in aluminum foil will keep it warm for a remarkably long time. Just be sure to do this as soon as it comes out of the microwave, to conserve as much heat as possible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Cool movies and cool dog names seem to go hand in hand. Cool Hand Luke’s “Blue" would be a fitting label for a variety of dogs. “Dino" and “Astro" come to mind if you want to honor a famous TV pup, or even, if you’re into the classics, consider Lassie as your pup’s moniker. If you have a favorite writer, book or series, you may want to think about naming your dog after a character in a book, or for an author. Jack London had a dog named Possum, Odysseus’ dog in the Odyssey was named Argos, and Tin Tin’s pup was named Snowy. You can also draw inspiration from history. Consider presidents’ names, or famous events. For instance, if you are a fan of Theodore Roosevelt, you might consider naming your dog Teddy. If you have a special affinity for the country your family is from, or really love how words in a different language sound, you may want to consider naming your dog something in a foreign language, or that has meaning in a foreign country.   German dog names. For starters, try out “Fritz" or “Kaiser."  Irish dog names. Love water?  Then try “Murphy," which just happens to mean “of the sea."  French dog names. “Pierre" and “Coco" are top contenders for any dog, especially those with a little Ooh-la-la in their genes.

Cool, humid, low-wind conditions distribute water evenly and reduce loss to evaporation. Ideal conditions usually occur between 10pm and midnight, or between 8am and 9am. Some local water departments forbid night watering to prevent waste from sprinklers left on all night. Your watering schedule should be based on grass species, lawn health, heat, and soil conditions. Cool season grasses (bluegrass, ryegrass, fescues) generally need 1–1.5 inches (2.5–3.8cm) per week, rising to 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) in hot, dry weather. Drought-resistant warm season grasses (buffalo grass, blue grama) can last for weeks without watering, even in the summer. Once you have a good guess for how much water your lawn needs each week, read the next step to find out how to divide it among watering sessions.  A local university extension website can teach you how much watering your grass species needs in local weather conditions. To track the amount of water you're using, leave cans or other open containers on your lawn. Shaded grass usually needs less water, but this may not be true if it's competing with tree and shrub roots. This approach encourages root growth, which increases resistance to drought and disease. Each watering session should moisten the soil down to the depth of the lowest existing roots, which tend to be at least six inches (15cm) for a healthy lawn. The drainage rate varies greatly based on soil. Check the depth of moisture 30–60 minutes after watering, or follow this rough guide:   Sandy soil drains fast, and may only need 0.5 in. (1.25cm) of water to reach a 6 inch (15cm) depth. The lawn has less time to absorb this water, so water more frequently to make up for it. Loamy soil takes roughly 0.75 inch (1.9cm) of water to reach a 6 inch (15cm) depth. Dense clay soil drains slowly, and may need 1–1.5 inches (2.5–3.8cm) water to reach 6 inch (15cm) depth. Don't wait until your lawn is brown before you give it more water. Check for wilting, a change in color (becoming more grey, purple, or blue), and for footprints...

Coping skills are necessary for recovery. They help address the urges and often release the same feel good chemicals, called endorphins, in your brain that are released during self-harming. One common self-soothing technique is called the five senses technique, which provides a way to a helpful state of mind to address the painful or extreme feelings leading to self-harm.  Start in a comfortable position, either sitting on the floor with your legs crossed or in a chair with your feet planted flat on the ground. Start focusing on your breathing. Next, start to bring awareness to each of your senses. Spend about one minute on each sense, focusing on only one at a time. Hearing: Focus on external sounds. Are they cars going by, people talking? Next, focus on internal sounds. Can you hear your breathing or digestion? As you focus on hearing, did you notice anything you did not before? Smelling: What do you smell? Is there food near you? Or maybe flowers outside? You might notice smells you did not before. Try closing your eyes to sharpen your other senses. Seeing: What do you see? Can you see out a window? Take notice of details such as colors, patterns, shapes, and textures. Tasting: What do you taste? Notice anything you can taste in your mouth, maybe from a morning coffee or your lunch. Move your tongue around to engage your taste buds, checking for any additional tastes you encounter. Touching: Feel the sensation of your skin being touched. This can be from the carpet under your feet or legs, the clothes on your skin, or the air moving across your face.  Feel the chair you are sitting in. Meditation or prayer might seem like a silly practice, but scientific studies have been done that shows meditation improves positive emotions, satisfaction, health, and happiness. It also decreases anxiety, stress, and depression. There are many different types of mediation, but the goal of all mediation is about calming the mind.  Start in a comfortable seated position. Have a single point to focus on. This can be visual,...

Copy the address for the video. Search for an internet video downloader. There are several that work directly from the browser and only require a Java applet to run; they don’t need to be installed. These sites will convert the video to the format of your choice. In order to play the video on iOS, you will need to download the video in the .mp4 format. The other formats available will not work. For Android OS, most of the available video types will work, though some may require a video player app to be installed. Since you will be viewing on a small screen, you most likely do not need to download the highest quality files. Quality is denoted by a number with a “p” next to it (240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, etc.). The higher the number, the better the quality. Strike a balance between quality and size, especially if space is an issue on the phone.

Corporations may choose illustrative case study method to show what has been done for a client; schools, educators and students may select cumulative or critical case study method and legal teams may demonstrate exploratory (investigative) case study method as a way to provide factual evidence. Whatever case study method you're employing, your purpose is to thoroughly analyze a situation (or "case") which could reveal factors or information otherwise ignored or unknown. These can be written about companies, whole countries, or even individuals. What's more, these can be written on more abstract things, like programs or practices. Really, if you can dream it, you can write a case study about it. Once you've picked your angle, you need to determine what your research will be about and where it will take place (your case site). What have you talked about in class? Have you caught yourself coming up with questions during your reading? Start your research at the library and/or on the Internet to begin delving into a specific problem. Once you've narrowed down your search to a specific problem, find as much about it as you can from a variety of different sources. Look up information in books, journals, DVDs, websites, magazines, newspapers, etc. As you go through each one, take adequate notes so you can find the info later on! Talk to your professors, go to the library, surf the web until your bum falls asleep. You don't want to replicate the research that has already been done.  Find out what has been written before, and read the important articles about your case's situation . When you do this, you may find there is an existing problem that needs solution, or you may find that you have to come up with an interesting idea that might or might not work in your case situation. Review sample case studies that are similar in style and scope to get an idea of composition and format, too.

Cosmetology courses teach sectioning techniques including four-section, five-section and seven-section parting.  This may vary from place to place. To do seven-section parting, divide the scalp into seven sections:  top, right side, left side, right crown, left crown, right nape and left nape. Leave a one-half inch band of hair to hang loose around the perimeter of the hairline.  Start by making a clean parting line from the point just behind the ears on one side to the matching point on the opposite side. Next, make parting lines on each side of the head just along the parietal ridge to isolate the hair at the top of the head. Comb the hair smooth toward the center of the section at the top of the head and twist it up into a knot and clip with a butterfly clip to secure it. Do the same on the right and left sides of the head. Now, create a parting line down the center of the back of the head. Isolate the right and left crown sections by parting the hair in a line from behind the ears to the center parting just created.  These horizontal partings should meet to form a straight horizontal line across the back of the head. Comb to smooth these sections and twist and secure them as with the previous sections.   The remaining two sections – the left and right nape – are easily secured into separate twists. After the sections are secured, go back over the head, section by section, and let down a one-half inch strip along the outer edge (aka perimeter or hairline) and re-twist and secure the hair sections. In some cases, you will work from the back of the hair to the front; in others you'll start at the front; in still others you'll cut around the perimeter and proceed from there.  Each style is different and requires a different plan of attack.

Costs add up quickly. When you're going out and buying things for your room, it's very important to make sure you don't overspend. Use a piece of paper and a pen, or a smartphone, to write down your budget, and then write down the cost of everything you plan to buy. If anything you want to buy will put you over the budget, either don't buy it, or put some other items back.  Keep sales tax in mind - things often cost more than you think due to sales tax. Think about the necessity of something you want to buy. When you find yourself thinking that what you see is cute, think logistically about whether you have a need for it. If it's a borderline case, such as buying a pillow when you're going to make a pillow pile, take factors like price into account - you don't need a 50-dollar pillow when there are far cheaper ones of the same quality right next to it. Try to aim for cheaper decorations rather than the more expensive ones. But be careful not to buy lower-quality decorations just because they're cheaper - you don't want to buy a beanbag chair and have it split open as soon as someone sits on it! It might be more convenient to buy things for your room online, but it's better to see potential decorations in person. Especially for things like bedding and seating, you'll want to be able to see how it looks up close, and test some things out, with the ability to easily return it if something's wrong with it. And plus, it's possible to go out to the store with friends, making the trip a lot more fun! Oftentimes, things from generic stores can be just as good as brand-name products. There's no need to go on a giant mall trip just to buy stuff for your room - unless you want to, of course. Those pillows might seem like they'd be perfect for your room, but if you need to replace your broken desk chair, a desk chair should be the first thing you look for. The functionality of your room should be priority over the cuteness of it, so buy furniture you need rather than furniture you just want. If you can't use your room,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Учитывайте доступный бюджет. Ходите по магазинам. Сначала покупайте необходимые вещи. Выбирайте легкую и практичную мебель. Используйте настенные украшения. Выбирайте аксессуары для стола и прикроватной тумбочки. Купите постельные принадлежности. Не забудьте принадлежности для хранения.


Costs can vary quite a bit. They depend on factors such as your location, the individual dentist, whether you are getting an amalgam or composite filling, and whether or not you have dental insurance. In general, you can expect an amalgam filling to cost between $100-200 and a composite filling to cost between $135-240. Even if you have had previous fillings covered by your dental plan, always double-check what exactly your dental insurance will cover. Sometimes there are restrictions about what kind of filling you can get--some plans might cover an amalgam filling but not a composite filling, for example. Make extra sure that the dentist performing your filling is in-network so that you aren't surprised by out-of-network surcharges. Be prepared for possible co-pays, however. If you do not have dental insurance, you may have to pay out-of-pocket for dental care. If you qualify, consider looking for governmental assistance through Medicaid, CHIP, or other national health services. Other possibilities for lower-cost dental care include dental schools, and reduced-cost dental programs through your state or municipality.

Costumes can make it easier for you to get into character and may make your role play more authentic. Depending on the type of role play you will be engaging in, your costumes could range from sexy lingerie to more elaborate doctor and nurse outfits.  It is best to keep it simple in the beginning. For example, you could wear a wig, or experiment with your make-up. Alternatively, you could grow or shave your facial hair, or wear an outfit that is not your traditional style. A small physical change can make you feel like someone different and will help you get lost in your character. Certain props can also help you get into character while acting out your role. For instance, if you are pretending to go to a massage parlour, you could try lighting candles and playing soothing music. Alternatively, if you want to act out a police officer fantasy, you could use a pair of handcuffs. The location can also help to set the mood. Try booking a hotel room for the night if you want to pretend that you and your partner are complete strangers just meeting for the first time. You may also feel more comfortable acting out a role if you are not in a familiar place. Alternatively, if you are trying a more elaborate role, you may want to use your own home so that you can decorate or include props to help set the scene.

TL;DR in Russian:

Примерьте костюмы. Добавьте аксессуаров. Выберите подходящее место.


Cotton underwear dries quickly and allows air to flow freely through the fabric. This prevents the development of damp conditions that promote the growth of yeast and unhealthy bacteria that might lead to an infection. You can also prevent these conditions by not wearing underwear. Underwear made from synthetic fabrics, silk, lace, or other materials doesn't breathe as well.  If you like wearing underwear made from fabrics other than cotton, make sure the section of the underwear that will be touching your vagina has a cotton liner. If you tend to get a lot of vaginal infections, try picking underwear made from organic, undyed cotton that hasn't been treated with any chemicals. Stretch pants, skinny jeans, and tights trap moisture against the skin and prevent airflow, often leading to yeast infections. Try wearing looser, lighter fabrics that breathe well. Go for skirts and dresses more often, and choose thigh-high tights instead of the kind that pull up around your waist. Pick out shorts that are on the looser side, too. Wearing a wet bathing suit or wet workout clothes for a few hours leaves you prone to getting a yeast infection. Make sure you change into clean, dry underwear as soon as possible after swimming or working out. You might even want to keep an extra pair on hand for unexpected situations when you might find yourself in need of a fresh pair.  If you decide to shave the area around your vagina, be very careful not to cut yourself with the razor. Use shaving cream (making sure not to let any get inside your vagina) and take your time shaving around the folds so you don't accidentally get hurt. Waxing is another option that many women choose. If you go this route, make sure you do some research and choose a reputable waxing salon that uses clean products and wax. Waxing salons with unsanitary practices can cause the spread of bacterial infections. When you have sex with a partner, you're opening yourself up to bacteria and other microscopic substances that can end up irritating your vagina and...

Countries around the world (including the United States) continue to spend money they don’t have, creating unstable economies. Gold bullion is the only true hedge against this kind of instability.   Term of Investment: For the long term, even if the economy picks up, inflation will follow close behind. Which asset resists inflation? Gold.  Nature of Investment: It's low-risk. Experts agree that the investment-allocation  pyramid is built on a low-risk base that includes gold bullion.  Profile of Investor: Gold is a perfect component for a new investor's portfolio. You have a choice of gold coins, gold bars, and gold jewelry.   Gold coins: Historic (pre-1933) gold coins tend to retain the most value, as these have numismatic value in addition to their gold content.  Examples of historic gold coins that do not sell at an excessive premium over the gold price because they contain only 90 percent gold are the British sovereign, British guinea, Spanish escudo, French 20 and 40 francs, Swiss 20 francs, and American Gold Eagles ($10 face value), Half-Eagles ($5 face value) and Double Eagles ($20 face value). The British sovereign and the American Eagle gold coin are notable exceptions with 91.66 percent gold content (or 22 karat). Other gold bullion coins include the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Australian Kangaroo, and the South African Krugerrand (which sparked the entire gold-coin-investment industry),  and the 24 karat Austrian Philharmonic.    Gold bars: Gold is also sold in bars that are usually 99.5 to 99.99 percent fine (that is, pure gold). Popular gold refineries include PAMP, Credit Suisse, Johnson Matthey, and Metalor. You’ll see the names of these refineries stamped on the bars they process.  Gold jewelry: The problem with buying gold jewelry as an investment is that you pay a premium for the craftsmanship and the desirability of the design. Any piece of jewelry marked 14 karat or less will be below investment quality, and any resale for the sake of investing will be impacted by the need to refine the gold....

TL;DR in Russian:

Покупайте золото в слитках. Решите, какой тип инвестиционного класса слитков золота вы хотите приобрести. Определите вес, который вы хотите купить. Найдите источник, продающий золотые слитки. Узнайте рыночную цену золота на данный момент. Старайтесь покупать золотые монеты или слитки по цене ниже рыночной с добавлением выплат примерно в 1 процент. Храните ваш золотой слиток в безопасном месте, лучше в индивидуальной банковской ячейке.


Country style utilizes a lot of reds and blues. Lighter colors are usually better in a sunnier climate. Brown leather is often better than black. Match, but create contrast. If necessary, use a color wheel to determine what works best. Darker shades are less suited for warm climates but hide dirt well. Plan accordingly. A plain colored tee or a well-fitting button-down top are simple and effective. Sleeve length, neckline, and material are all factors to consider. Women's tops are highly variable, and you can show off as much or as little skin as necessary to suit your individual style. For the tried-and-true cowgirl, nothing beats a snap-button plaid or red-and-white checkered shirt. Graphic tees can be stylish, but choose a design carefully, and don't make the mistake of assuming that a beer logo or a Confederate flag automatically makes the wearer country. Nothing says country quite like blue denim. Straight or boot cut jeans work best. Levi's and Wrangler are classic western brands that won't break the bank. Gold or white threading complements a good pair nicely. Avoid elaborate, flashy designs. Jeans with lower rises are a safe choice. High rises are more traditional and difficult to pull off in a non-work setting. For an especially hot summer day, opt for a pair of short jean shorts. Thin cotton or cotton blends will be the most versatile, but denim works here as well, and can be very traditional. Light, tan, or pale colors are safe. Floral patterns also work well. Skirts should stop an inch or two short of the knee, but can occasionally go longer. Long summer dresses can be useful on a windy day. There's no replacement for cowboy boots. Heels are simply too burdensome for trying to navigate through fields of dried dung. It's difficult to go wrong with the color and style: tall, short, buckle, no buckle, ornate or minimal embroidery all work exceptionally well. (Short boots are best worn with shorts or skirts, however). Have at least several pairs to swap out in different colors and styles. Leather is...

Covalent compounds are formed by two or more nonmetal elements. The name for the compound is based off how many atoms are present. The prefix attached is the Latin term for the number of molecules. Using the correct prefixes, name the new compound. You attach prefixes to any part of the compound that has multiple atoms.  Example: CO would be carbon monoxide and CO2 would be carbon dioxide.     Example: N2S3 would be Dinitrogen trisulfide.     In most cases, the “mono-“ prefix can be omitted, because it is implied when it is not present. It is still used for carbon monoxide due to the term being in use since early chemistry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выясните, что такое ковалентное соединение. Называйте соединения.


Cover 2 cups (500 ml) of untreated wood chips with water. Keep the chips submerged for 30 minutes.  Mesquite chips work well with potatoes, but alder wood chips are another good choice. This step is only necessary if you are using dry wood chips. Pre-soaked chips do not need to be soaked a second time. Create two even piles of charcoal on either side of the grill. Separate the two piles by placing a foil drip pan in the center of the grill. You will likely need to remove the grill grate while filling the grill with coal. After putting everything in place, return the grate to its proper position. Use a lighter to start both piles of charcoal on fire. Allow the charcoal to burn down until it is covered by white ash.  You may need to sprinkle the coals with lighter fluid before setting them on fire. It can take 10 to 20 minutes for the coals to burn down significantly enough. Prepare the potatoes as you wait. Use a metal fork to pierce the skin of each potato 8 to 12 times. Space the piercings evenly around the entire potato.  You should do this step while the fire is burning down. Piercing the skin of each potato allows steam to escape from inside the potatoes during the cooking process. Brush the skin of each potato with enough melted butter to completely coat the surface. Generously season with salt and pepper, if desired. The salt and pepper amounts can be altered to suit your own tastes. Once the potatoes are ready and the coals have burned enough for ash to form, evenly spread your soaked wood chips over the surface of your charcoal piles.  You'll need to spread about 1 cup (250 ml) of wood chips over each separate pile. You do not need to spread any wood chips over the drip tray. Position the potatoes over the center of the grill grate. Keep each potato over the drip tray and not over either pile of coals. The potatoes must also be arranged in a single layer with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space separating them. Both precautions will allow for more even cooking. Cover the grill and smoke the potatoes...

Cover and refrigerate it for up to 3 months. A little time (but not a lot) aids in aging the flavor as well. Allyl isothiocyanate, the oil in mustard seeds that gives pungency and heat, tends to dissipate over time. So know the longer it sits in the refrigerator uneaten, the milder it will become.

Cover the floors and furniture, fill any small holes, remove outlet covers, tape off the trim and cut in the corners with a brush. This type won't be as readily absorbed by the texture as latex. Alkyd paint is also easier to clean, which is important on textured walls because they attract more dirt. Don't paint a textured wall white. A test is necessary to confirm the water-fastness of the texture. If the texture starts to soften and fall off, you will have to use an airless paint sprayer to paint the walls. If the texture holds up, you can use a brush or roller.

Cover the surface with paper or some other suitable material, like a plastic tablecloth, to protect the area from getting stained. You might want to wear rubber gloves, too. You'll also need:  One container for each dye Warm or hot water Plastic bags (if immersing) The more dye that you add, the more saturated the color will be (and the less water you use, too). Light wood works the best with food coloring as it takes on color much more easily.  Mix it up well – food coloring has a tendency to take a while to dissolve if it isn't given a push in the right direction. The darker (and bigger) the wood and the more water you have, the more dye you will need. Be prepared to clean out your stock in your kitchen for the craft. A resealable plastic bag is ideal for immersing the wood, depending on how large the piece of wood is. If it is really large, use a plastic tub. You can also use a foam brush to apply the dye. This makes it easier to control and is better for smaller objects that have nooks and crannies. It does take a bit more patience, however. The longer it sits, the more saturated the color will be. Want it bright and vibrant? Leave it in, go watch an episode of your favorite TV show, and then come back and check on it.  If you're using the brush-on method, you'll probably need at least 3 or 4 coats to get a significant color. Apply the first coat around the entire object before you move onto the 2nd to ensure an even look. Keep in mind that the color will lighten as it dries. Use paper towels or some other surface you're okay staining. Leave at least overnight, and check in the morning. If it's gotten too light, you can simply apply another coat or two. If you're happy with the color, considering sealing it in by spraying the surface with a polyurethane spray. You can also take a brush to spread it on. This adds a varnish or shine to the object in addition to providing a seal against general wear and tear.

TL;DR in Russian:

Cowboys work outdoors, not in corporate offices, so their skin is tan, leathery, and coarse from wind and sun, which they often see twelve hours a day, six or even seven days a week. Cowboys don't spend a lot of time working on their fingernails, or trying to keep their hands baby-smooth and soft.  Cowboy work makes for rough callouses and dirty nails.  Cuts, bruises, and scars are regular sights on hands that spend their time working with fences, lassos, horseshoes, and other rough materials. A duster is a long leather jacket, usually with large buttons, and sometimes with fringe in various spots. The duster is most appropriate during cold weather or while traveling. Like most things cowboy, the larger buttons are practical – they’re much easier to use with gloves on.  A sturdy leather vest is a good substitute when the weather is warm. Chaps are perhaps the most extreme of all the cowboy wear.  Chaps provide extra protection and while working on horseback and at the rodeo. It’s not advisable to wear chaps in many other settings.  The same probably goes for spurs.

Crabbers who use a crab pot tend to have a dip net (or scrap net) for scooping errant crabs, thick crabbing gloves, a crab pot, a culling stick (to help remove the crabs from the net), and a container for storing the caught crabs.  The crab pot is a large square trap that is made out of wire (typically some sort of chicken wire). There are entrances (called "throats") where the crabs enter the trap to get the bait, which is constructed so they can't access it. The crabs then get trapped in the pot and you draw the pot back up to the surface with your new bounty. Depending on the area you're in you 'll have to figure whether you need a lightweight pot or a heavier one. For example: in the Puget Sound area, most areas support lightweight crab pots just fine, but a few areas, because of tidal currents and strong wave action, require heavier pots. If you're sport fishing, you typically don't want to use the commercial crab pots which are typically 75-150 lbs. (the pots sportsmen use tend to be 10 to 20 lbs. The culling stick helps to remove the crabs from the net or pot. You can make one yourself by cutting a 5 inch (12.7 cm) notch in a piece of wood. For the storage container, it is good to use a wooden bushel basket, but you can also use a cooler to store them. Mostly you just want to make sure that you keep the crabs alive until it is time to eat them and storing them in the appropriate container with ice. Leave the ice in the bag in the container and put the crabs on top of it. This will make them easier to handle when the time comes to cook them. There are tons of different kinds of bait that professional and sport crabbers use. You'll have to experiment to see what works best for you, but chicken necks are a popular one, because they are scrap meat and crabs do seem to love them.  You can use frozen fish, because it typically decomposes faster than fresh fish, which better attracts crabs. While crabs will eat basically any uncooked meat, you could also try some of the types commercial crabbers swear by: eel...

Crack open an egg and hold it over a cup. Pass the yolk back and forth between the two shells. Catch the whites in the cup.  You can make two eggs if you are really hungry! Ask an adult to help you with this step. Leave the yolk in its shell or hold it gently in your hand. You can also put it into a small dish. Add 1 drop of green food coloring to the yolk. Gently spread it across the entire yolk. Don't press too hard, or you will break the yolk. If you are having trouble with this, stir 1 drop of green food coloring into the whites instead. You'll have reverse green eggs and ham. Set the yolk aside when you are done. If you don't do this, some of the green may get into the whites and ruin the effect. In the book, only the yolks were green. The whites were still white. Skip this step if you added the food coloring to the whites. Place a pan on the stove. Add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil or butter. Turn the heat up to medium-low and wait for it to get hot. Tilt the pan around so that the entire surface is coated with melted butter or oil.  You are ready for the next step when the butter melts or the oil starts to sizzle. Ask an adult to help you for this. Pour the whites into the saucepan. Cook them until they start to turn white. Once the egg whites turn white, gently place the yolk on top. Wait a few minutes, then cover the pan with a lid. Let the egg cook for 1 to 2 more minutes before checking on it. You want the whites to be set. The yolk can be as soft or as hard as you want it to be. Once the egg is done, slide a spatula under it. Lift the spatula up and transfer the egg to a plate. Covering the pan with a lid will help the egg cook faster. Place a drop of food coloring on a slice of ham. Spread it around with your finger or a basting brush. Flip it over, and coat the back too. Pat any excess dye off with a paper towel. If you want to cook the ham, use Canadian bacon. You can eat the ham cold, but it will taste much better if it is warm! Place it onto the pan and let it cook until the edges start to turn...

Craft or office supply stores sell paper that has adhesive on one side. It's usually lined with a paper backing that you can peel off when you're ready to use the sticker.  Alternately, you can buy tacky sticker sheets. These sheets allow you to place a picture to the glue, then peel the sticker off, transferring the glue to the back of the sticker. This is great if you want to use sticker sheets with pictures you already have or those cut from magazines.  Buy paper that fits the specifications of your printer. If you don't have a printer, you can still use sticker paper by drawing your own designs on the surface of the paper or cutting out pictures from magazines and books.

Cramps are defined as acute pain for a short period of time; they might appear in both normal and pathological situations. They do not appear in all pregnancies but many of pregnant women experience them. Cramps that occur in pregnancy are often linked with:  Nutrient deficiency, specifically calcium, potassium and magnesium.  These essential minerals help your muscles, bones, and nerves to function properly.  If you do not have enough of these nutrients, your muscles may cramp up. Prolonged standing. When you stand still for a long time, blood can pool in your lower extremities, causing cramps. Dehydration can also cause cramps. Insufficient amounts of water in the body will result in muscle tightening and painful spasms in order to compensate for the amount of fluid loss. It is very important to keep in mind that any abdominal cramp during pregnancy must be discussed with your obstetrician or gynecologist, especially if it appears in the late stages of the pregnancy.  If you experience an acute, severe pain in your abdomen with possible extension to your groin area, accompanied by weakness, pale skin and a generally altered state you must immediately call the Emergency Services or go to the nearest Emergency Center because you might be having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. It is also important to seek immediate medical attention if the cramping is accompanied by any vaginal bleeding.

Crash diets usually involve severely restricting your caloric intake for a period of time, with the goal of losing a lot of weight quickly. Sometimes the 500 or 1000 calories-per-day are supplemented with juice "cleanses," diet pills, or diuretics. While the diet might seem to be working at first, most of this weight loss is due to water loss. Meanwhile, your body's metabolism is actually slowing down, burning fewer calories.  You won't be able to get a healthy nutritional balance for most crash diets. Crash diets also have a negative consequence on your mental health. Not getting enough calories is likely to make you irritable, tired, and lethargic. You're unlikely to feel more confident when you're not getting the daily nutrition you need. Skipping meals increases the amount of fat stored around the midsection, or belly fat. Eating smaller meals throughout the day, rather than skipping meals, is more likely to result in weight loss, according to clinical research.  Skipping one meals leads to being hungrier for later meals, and can result in eating more calories later in the day. This can set off a cycle of overeating, followed by fasting, that can lead to a host of health concerns. Going for extended periods of time without eating will send your body into survival mode: your body will turn to muscle mass for fuel in order to preserve its fat supplies. Clearly, this is the opposite of what you'd like as you prepare for bathing suit season! If you're trying to lose weight to gain confidence in your swimsuit, remember that both diet and exercise have a part to play. Each week, aim for at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous activity, or a combination of the two.  For teens, the amount of exercise recommended is about an hour per day. Choose exercise routines that you can sustain over time, which means doing activities that you like., finding the mix that works best for your body will lead to feelings of confidence,...

Cravings are often the body’s subliminal attempt to signal a person to eat substances and nutrients in which they are deficient. What does he or she particularly enjoy? Keep the foods they crave around the house and easily accessible. Some examples of calorie and protein dense foods are milk shakes, cheese, smoothies, pudding, chicken, eggs, lean red meat, fish, yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter, almond butter, whole grain toast, lentils, spinach and garlic. Examples of high-calorie and protein snacks include:  Half a cup of nuts and a fruit 2 graham crackers or a slice of whole grain bread with natural peanut or almond butter A mix of carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber or celery sticks with canola or olive oil based dressing Popcorn trail mix consisting of 1 cup of popcorn made with canola oil and missed with quarter cup of nuts and 2 tablespoons of raisins     Low-fat yogurt with 2-3 tablespoons chopped nuts 1 cup of whole grain cereal with skim milk Fruit smoothie consisting of 6 ounces of low fat vanilla yogurt, half a cup of skim milk, a cup of berries    A major symptom of chemotherapy is having a dry mouth (xerostomia). Aside from it being important to hydrate, constantly drinking healthy fluids combats this symptom, too.  Water, flavored water, coconut water, smoothies, liquid nutrition supplements, ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, pudding, fruit based popsicles, crushed ice, herbal teas, decaffeinated coffee and teas are all good examples of non-caffeinated beverages. Nutritional supplements such as Ensure and Boost are good as well. Most of taste is actually smell. If you surround the patient with foods that smell good, you may be able to spike their appetite. The scent could entice them to at least try the food, or entertain the notion of eating. What foods do they like? Mint, cinnamon, coconut, apple? Studies show that any connection an individual has between scent and food can get the appetite going and increase salivation. Prescription medications such as steroid hormones may be used to increase the...

Creams and ointments formulated for adolescent or adult use are far too harsh for a baby's sensitive skin. Using over-the-counter acne medication can irritate the skin, making the acne worse. It can also cause your baby's face to become excessively dry. Worst-case scenario, your baby's skin could become so dry that it begins to cause him or her pain. In most cases, over-the-counter creams will only irritate your baby's skin and should be avoided. In special cases, though, your doctor may recommend a mild 1 percent hydrocortisone cream or ionic colloidal silver solution.  Hydrocortisone cream treats the dry, itchy, and sometimes painful skin that results from severe cases of baby acne. By soothing the skin, the cream reduces the production of oil, ultimately leading the a clearer complexion. Note that hydrocortisone cream can hurt your baby if it gets into the eyes or mouth, though. Ionic colloidal silver solution is generally considered safer than hydrocortisone cream. It kills the bacteria that thrive in facial oil and soothes itchy skin. Only apply a small amount of either product to your baby's skin and use the product for a maximum amount of twice a day for two days. If the baby acne on your child's face appears to cause pain or discomfort, or if it lasts past a couple of months, your doctor may prescribe a gentle prescription acne cream to help clear the baby's skin.  The cream is almost always a retinoid cream. Retinoids are a type of chemical compound that regulate the growth of skin tissue. Common retinoid creams used to treat baby acne include adapalene, tazarotene, and tretinoin. Apply the medicated cream as directed. Typically, the cream is applied topically by smoothing it over the affected area once a day, roughly 20 to 30 minutes after you wash your baby. Some conditions may masquerade as baby acne when, in actuality, they are something else entirely.  If your baby is older than four to six months, the bumps on your baby's skin are less likely to be acne. Eczema is the next most common skin...

Create a custom block for a series of two or more operations that you repeat several times throughout your program. For example, if you want your robot to move forward for three seconds and then flash a red light, include these instructions in a custom block so that you can access them quickly and easily each time you need to include them in the program. Include them in your program just as you normally would. Hold down Shift and click on each operation. Once they're all selected, click the equals sign in the top toolbar right next to the comments tool. This will bring up a window called "My Block Builder." You can also go to Edit → Make a New My Block to open the custom block builder. If you have any data wires coming into or out of the blocks you selected for your custom block, these will appear as ports for your block, and you can connect them to variables or other data when you use your block in a program. The name should be short but descriptive so that you remember exactly what the block does. The description should be clear and detailed, and include important notes like, for instance, what direction your robot needs to be facing or what needs to be plugged into Port A for your block to work properly. Drag any icons you want into your block's icon at the top. When you're finished creating your icon, click Finish. In your program, the steps corresponding to your block will be replaced by the block you just created. You can even combine multiple custom blocks into another one to make your programming even easier. Be creative -- custom blocks can be incredibly useful if you take advantage of them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте ваш пользовательский блок в программах так же, как и любой другой блок.


Create a sleep schedule where you wake up and go to sleep at the same time everyday, even on weekends or days off. Sleep requirements vary from person to person, but on average, you should be getting between seven to nine hours of sleep to function at your best during your waking hours.  Some people think getting just one less hour of sleep won't affect their daily functioning or that they can make up for lack of sleep on the weekend or a day off. But any changes or shifts to your regular sleep schedule will only have a negative effect on your sleeping habits and lead to lots of yawning when you are awake.  It's a myth that your body adjusts quickly to different sleep schedule. While most people can reset their biological clock, this can only be done by timed cues, and even then, only by one to two hours per day at best. It can take more than a week for your body's internal clock to adjust to traveling across several time zones or to switching to the night shift. Extra sleep at night cannot cure you of your daytime fatigue. The quantity of sleep you get every night is important, but the quality of your sleep is more important. You may get eight or nine hours of sleep a night but won't feel well rested if the quality of your sleep was poor. Shut off your television, smartphone, iPad, and computer or keep all electronics out of your bedroom completely. The type of light these screens emit can stimulate your brain, suppress the production of melatonin (which helps you sleep), and interfere with your body's internal clock. Another option is to shut down your computer on a schedule. This will automatically sleep your machine and prevent you from working on your computer too late or too close to your bedtime. There are sleep features on both PCs and Macs that you can activate. As well, if you want your computer to be ready to go in the morning, once you wake up, you can schedule a startup time too. If you tend to get wrapped up in evening activities or conversations and forget to stick to your sleep schedule, you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Соблюдайте регулярный режим сна. Выключайте все электронные устройства и устраните отвлекающие факторы за пару часов до сна. Заводите будильник на время, когда пора ложиться спать. Выберите расслабляющее занятие перед сном. Поддерживайте в спальне темную, прохладную и тихую обстановку. Попробуйте просыпаться с первыми лучами солнца. Не ложитесь вздремнуть после 15 часов. Ведите дневник сна. Принимайте снотворное только в случае необходимости. Остерегайтесь безрецептурных препаратов, которые могут вызывать бессонницу или нарушения сна.


Create a sleep schedule where you wake up and go to sleep at the same time everyday, even on weekends or days off. Sleep requirements vary from person to person, but on average, you should be getting between seven to nine hours of sleep to function at your best during your waking hours. However, some people need as much as ten.  Teenagers generally need more sleep than older adults. Young bodies need a lot of rest while growing during adolescence. Some people require more sleep than others. A very few people thrive on as little as six hours a night, while others require ten to be truly rested. Respect these differences; a person needed more sleep is not lazy or bad. Some people think getting just one less hour of sleep will not greatly affect their daily functioning. Another belief is that sleep can be made up on the weekend or a day off. And once in a while is probably fine. But if this happens a lot, your regular sleep schedule will suffer, leading to oversleeping or being overly tired when you wake up.  It is a myth that the human body adjusts quickly to different sleep schedule. While most people can reset their biological clock, this can only be done by timed cues, and even then, only by one to two hours per day at best.

Creating a good economy takes practice, and is a must for any civilization. Much of the information on making your economy boom should be applied while you are playing as the Goths. The barracks doesn't need to be placed anywhere strategic, as you will be building many more. The creation of militia during the research and during the Feudal Age should be avoided due to the high costs. Infantry become much cheaper during the Castle and Imperial Ages.

Вам нужно четко представлять, что нужно сделать, чтобы экономика процветала. Переходя в Феодальную эру, одним из лесорубов постройте бараки.


Creating a thorough and useful self-evaluation takes time, so make sure that you schedule enough time to complete the process. If you rush through it, then you’re likely to skip over important accomplishments or growth opportunities, which makes your finished product less productive because it won’t truly reflect your career progress. It can be helpful to create an outline ahead of time. Your self-evaluation must reflect that you are meeting your self-set goals and the goals of the company at-large. Most importantly, to show your organization that you are an effective employee, you must show that you are working to meet the organizational goals. Completing a self-evaluation will show you if you are on-track to meet your career expectations because you can see if all of the hard work you are doing connects back to your goals. Based on your goals, create an inventory of all of the work you’ve done over the past year. Include things like projects you’ve completed, committees you’ve served on, and reports you’ve drafted. This list will include everything - from the client records you stapled to the committee you chaired.  Assess your work materials, such as emails and reports, for examples of your work and support for your accomplishments. These can help refresh your memory, and you could even pull quotes from these announcements. As you write down your accomplishments, think about how they fit in with your goals and use that to help with wording. For example, if your goal is to increase sales, and you have been calling potential clients, then you could say that you “initiated sales” or “increased point-of-sale opportunities” rather than “made cold calls." Because this is a self evaluation, include only your accomplishments, not those of your entire team. Demonstrate how you contributed to any team assignments, including your qualities as a team player. Every worker has weaknesses, and honestly identifying them is the only way to overcome them. You must reflect on your struggles in order to set new goals and...

Creating an environment with less clutter will help you avoid tripping, bumping into things, or cutting yourself. As with many things in life, creating an environment in which it is easier to reach your goal (to be less clumsy), will make it much easier to achieve success.  Leave your shoes at the door, so they aren't in your way later. Donate, recycle, or throw away old things that you no longer want or need. This will help reduce clutter. This way when you're walking your clothes won't get caught on anything. The length of your pants should fit you perfectly. This way you can't trip over your pants.  Make sure your shoelaces are not too long. This will help prevent you from stepping on them and tripping. Your pants should not be long enough to get caught under your shoes. Proper length pants will give you one less thing on which to trip. Organizing things in your home can help prevent accidents. When you know where everything is, you are less likely to accidentally knock something over or be caught be surprise by something (for example, a knife on the counter that could cut you).  Put things back after you use them. Make sure to zip-tie, or otherwise bind, stray cords so that they do not become tripping hazards. If you already have railings installed in your house, make sure that they can actually support your weight and are securely attached to the wall.  Use the railings when you walk down the stairs. Walk deliberately and use the safety equipment you have. Railings aren't just for trying to catch yourself when you fall, they can help prevent the fall in the first place. Bathrooms, kitchens, and other places that might have slippery floors like tiles can be hazardous. Non-slip maps can help provide you with a safer surface on which to stand and work, such as in the shower or in front of the sink. Non-slip mats are often made of rubber. They are available in many department stores and specialty stores that deal in bathrooms, kitchens, etc. It is much easier to be clumsy when operating in a dimly lit area....

Creating any kind of currency is generally regulated by your national government. In the United States, the final fake bill must be shrunk down to 75% or less of the original bill’s size or enlarged to over 150% of the original bill’s size. The government also encourages anyone who prints fake money to make it one-sided. Check with your national or local government before starting printing any fake money, just to be safe. You should also note that it is illegal to copy money in color tones in many areas. Instead, you’ll probably need to go with black and white bills. The Treasury Department of the United States provides images of currency that can be downloaded and printed out for educational reasons via their official website. Other financial groups, such as the European Central Bank, offer the same service as well. Go online, pull up one of these files, and then you are ready to print. Many of these entities offer images of both coin and bill currency.

Неукоснительно соблюдайте законодательство. Воспользуйтесь официальными образцами банкнот от Центробанка.


Cross off things that do not make sense or do not seem quite true after you give them more thought. Replace them with things that you notice are missing. Also, put an asterisk next to things that are really true or strike a chord with you. Fight against feelings of hopelessness and discouragement as you identify areas of self-improvement. One way to do this is to give yourself small rewards for identifying areas of self-improvement and acting on them. Also, when feelings of hopelessness and discouragement surface, focus on “low hanging fruit” and evaluate something that feels relatively painless and easy to fix. Remember, you are not rating your worthiness as a human being, just trying to identify differences between your actual self and your ideal self. Seeing yourself objectively is not always easy, and an honest assessment by somebody outside can help you gauge whether your personal assessment is reasonable. Keep things in perspective. So you haven't won your Nobel Peace Prize yet.  Neither have most of the rest of us. You're only human, and nobody, including yourself, should expect perfection of you. Take your areas of improvement and create goals for working towards. For goals that seem too audacious, consider breaking them down into sub-goals. Make sure to define success in such a way that you can identify when you have been successful and are likely to be successful. For example, if you think you have a weight problem, take a goal like “Lose 100 pounds” and break it up into smaller steps that will get you to your goal. Think of as many small changes as you can that together can add up to you meeting your audacious goal. For example, the first week cut out all soda and drinks with sugar. Second week, cut out all packaged baked goods, like cookies and doughnuts, and replace them with healthier versions. Keep restructuring your diet until you are eating mostly healthy foods almost all the time. Keep your lists to remind you of both your strengths and your new goals. When you successfully complete an...

Cross-cultural studies suggest that most personality variations can be reduced to scores across five trait types. These are referred to the Big Five: Extraversion, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Openness. To find out how you score in the Big Five traits, do an online search of “Big Five Personality Test” and choose a few that appeal to you. There will be variations amongst the tests, so try a few to see if you get the same results with each. Some tests to check out may include The Big Five Project Personality Test provided by Out of Service, or the Big Five Personality Test provided by Psychology Today. High scorers (aka extroverts) are fun-seeking, cheerful, ambitious, and hard-working. They love being the center or attention. Low scorers (aka introverts) are likely to be more detached and less driven by success, pleasure and praise.  You may be an extrovert if you are chatty and sociable, and you feel energetic in crowds.  You may be an introvert if you prefer to be alone and find that social situations suck your energy.  The line between the two is not necessarily a sharp one: introverts still enjoy social situations, but they refuel by spending time alone, whereas extroverts will generally refuel by socializing. People who score highly in neuroticism tend to worry a lot and suffer from chronic anxiety, whereas low scorers tend to be more emotionally stable and satisfied in life.  If you are often anxious, even when things are going well, chances are you’re a high scorer in neuroticism. The upside is that you may also have great attention to detail and the ability to think deeply about things.  If you aren’t very detail-oriented and find that you don’t worry much about anything, chances are you’re a low scorer in neuroticism. The upside is that you’re carefree, but the downside is that you may not think deeply enough about things. Scoring highly in conscientiousness means that you are disciplined, efficient, and systematic. If you’re a low-scorer, you may find it easier to be...

Crossing things off your list as you do them will give you a lot of pleasure. Make sure these tasks are no more than 25 to 30 minutes. This is the amount of time you can expect yourself to focus without any disruptions. Splitting your studying into separate tasks can also ensure you do a thorough job. For example, you may have a research session, an outlining session and a session where you write each of the major points in a paper. You may want to get one or two easier tasks done right away in order to feel like you’ve accomplished something, but then you should try to take care of the highest priorities while you are more focused. Try to clear your head by getting something to eat or going outside. Set your timer for five minutes so that you only take care of the most important things. ” This is the feeling of being lost in a task enough to ignore time and simply do the task. Note the times when this happens and try to recreate the environment. After doing 25-minute blocks, you may be able to move to 60-minute blocks, where you are able to get larger tasks done.

Crows are easily spooked by random noises, so items like bells, wind chimes, and even squeaky loose gates can keep them away. Additionally, crows are frightened by reflective surfaces that move in the breeze, creating random flashes of light. Figures like scarecrows or owl decoys can be frightening to crows at first, but they are intelligent birds, and will not be fooled for long. If it looks like one crow is in your yard, others will want to follow. It should appear natural and alive, and figures hung upside-down, or otherwise appearing dead, like some Halloween decorations, will scare them off. You can either purchase an electronic caller, or attempt using a hand caller yourself. There are a variety of different calls used by crows, many of which will draw a nearby group. Some popular calls are the Attention Call, the Rally Call, and the Distress Call, all of which will draw curious crows to your location. Hand calling is difficult, but can give you greater flexibility in calling and communication with the birds. Place the call between your thumb and index finger, making a cup around the end with your hands. Rather than blow through, you will want to make a growling noise into the call, as if you were clearing your throat. Crows like horizontal places to rest, like fences and tree branches. They are sociable birds, so you will need many places for them to sit and stay. Crows are large birds, so any roosting place should be very sturdy. Old fashioned concrete birdbaths can be very useful. You can also create an artificial structure if you do not have enough natural spaces. Drive or set poles into the ground, then place a cross-bar between them for more roosting room. Crows will eat just about anything, so you are pretty safe regardless of the food you put out for them. To first attract crows, you will want some noticeable, like peanuts in the shell. Once they become regulars in your yard, you can use a wider variety of foods, including kibbled pet food or meat scraps. Crows can eat a lot of food, so don't be...

Crumple up a few clean paper towels and place them inside a plastic container with a lid.  The container should be deep enough to hold these paper towels and your brass piece, plus an additional layer of paper towel not yet added. A clean container that once held sour cream, cottage cheese, or another food can work well. Make sure that the container is clean and has a lid that snaps on securely. Never reuse this container for food afterward. Pour ammonia over the paper towels in your container, adding enough to saturate the paper towels. Ammonia is a hazardous chemical, so you should only do this in an area that is well-ventilated. You should also protect your eyes with safety goggles and your hands with plastic or rubber gloves. Pour a generous amount of table salt over the paper towels in your container, distributing it evenly over the surface. Rest your brass piece directly on top of the coated and soaked paper towels. Press gently so that the bottom and sides of the brass come into direct contact with the ammonia and salt. Crumple another clean paper towel and place it directly on top of your brass piece. Pour more ammonia onto the paper towel, soaking it thoroughly.  Use as many paper towels as necessary to cover the entire outside surface of the brass. You should also lift up the paper towels and sprinkle a light coat of salt on top of the brass. After doing so, cover the brass piece with your ammonia-soaked paper towels again. Secure the lid in place and set the container aside for a few hours to days.  Keep the container in a safe location, away from kids and pets. You'll need to check on your brass piece periodically throughout the process until the desired look forms. A little patina should start forming within a few minutes, but for a more dramatic or aged look, try giving the process a day or two. For best results, check on the patina every 30 to 60 minutes. Note that your paper towels will also change color during the process. When the patina you desire has developed, remove the brass from your...
