It can be difficult to halter break an adult horse. Therefore, if possible, start halter breaking the horse as soon as he is born.  Foals should be handled by adults right away. You want horses used to a human touch as young as possible. Try placing a halter on a foal within his first few days of life.  Place the haler on and off your foal each day as he grows up. He will begin to accept the halter as a normal part of life. Later, he will easily go along with being haltered as an adult. If you have an adult horse who is not halter-broken, you'll have to start slow. To begin, handle your horse's head, ears, and neck. Each day, interact with the horse. Pet his neck, ears, and head.  Reward the horse for allowing you to touch him. Offer treats, like carrots or apples, if he remains calm when you're petting him.  Talk gently to your horse as you go. Provide soothing words to prevent the horse from getting nervous or upset. Once the horse is comfortable with your touch, introduce him to the halter. For a few days, simply hold the halter as you pet him. Allow him to sniff the halter and get used to its presence and scent. Then, try gently slipping the halter over his nose and ears.  It may take multiple tries. If a horse gets antsy with the halter over his nose, take the halter off. You can try again the next day.  It may be a few days before you get the halter on the horse and buckled properly. This is normal. It's important to have patience and let the horse work at a pace that does not frighten him. If your horse develops an aversion to the halter, halter breaking will be even more difficult. Once the horse is used to the halter, you'll need to practice leading. Attach a lead rope to the halter and begin your practice sessions.  During the first few sessions, stand to the right of the horse. Pull on the lead rope, applying pressure, to encourage the horse to move. When your horse turns his head towards you, praise him. Reinforce the good behavior with treats. Give him a slice of apple, for example, when he turns...

TL;DR in Russian:

По возможности начинайте приучать лошадь с юного возраста. Регулярно трогайте голову, уши и шею взрослой лошади. Познакомьте лошадь с недоуздком. Начните водить лошадь на поводе. Не наказывайте лошадь.


It can be difficult to make time for yourself, but making time to do things that make you feel relaxed and happy can improve your self-esteem as well as your productivity at work and at home. Find a hobby that makes you feel better physically and mentally.  Some people find that yoga, bicycling, or running help them find a calm, centered positivity. If there are negative influences in your life that cause you to feel badly about yourself, try to minimize or eliminate the time you spend with them.  Include in your life, instead, people who are positive and support your positive self-thoughts.  Making your loved ones aware of your self-esteem building journey will encourage them to act as a support system for you. You may want to tell close friends or family something like “I am working on improving my self-esteem.  You can help me by pointing out when I say something negative about myself so that I am more aware of my negativity.” Choosing foods that are more nutritious and lower in sugar and fat can boost your energy, cut down on sugar crashes, and improve your overall health.  Avoid fad diets and opt for whole foods that are minimally processed. Avoid foods such as candy bars, soda, cake, doughnuts, and pastries, which lead to massive energy crashes, possible headaches, and offer no nutrition, possible illness, and added calories. Eat more fruits, veggies, lean meats, and legumes.  Think of them as all-day energy and abundant nutrition for your body, that will enable you to keep up with your job and kids, protect your body against illnesses, and extend your life so you can enjoy more time with your family. Even when going to the gym isn’t an option, a brisk walk is often all you need in order to move more and improve your health.  A little exercise can give you more energy, make you feel better, and help boost your immune system.  Many people find that walking outdoors is refreshing and restorative, particularly if they spend most of their time working indoors. Even a 10-minute workout once or twice every...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выделите время для ухода за собой. Окружите себя позитивными людьми. Питайтесь правильно. Занимайтесь спортом. Уделите время личной гигиене.


It can be easy sometimes to get into a habit of just hearing your wife talk, rather than really listening to what she says. To make sure she feels loved and important, try to spend some time each day talking to her without distractions. Put down your phone, look at her while she's talking, and say things like "Oh really?" or "Wow!" to let her know that she's the center of your attention. Try repeating back what she says to show her that you're really engaged in the conversation. For instance, you might say, "Ok, so Linda wants us to come over next Saturday? We can do that." One way you can make your wife feel loved is to let her know how much you appreciate the things she does that keep your life and household running smoothly. Just a simple "Hey babe, the house looks great!" or "Thanks so for helping me remember that appointment yesterday!" can go a long way. Try to find at least one thing each day to be thankful for. Not only will this make your wife feel like you really notice the work she does, but when you're focused on finding things to be grateful for, you're more likely to appreciate what you have. People express love in different ways, which is called their  love language. By understanding what your wife considers the most meaningful expression of love, you can do little things to make sure she knows how important she is to you.The 5 love languages are:  Words of affirmation: verbal expressions of care and affection, like saying "Thank you for helping me out today" or "I love you!" Gift-giving: material or immaterial gifts that show appreciation and attention, such as flowers or a card or going out for dinner together. Quality time: spending time together doing something engaging that brings you closer together. This could be a hobby or activity or just sitting at home together and watching a movie. Physical touch: physical expressions of love, whether that be holding hands, a back massage, or more. Acts of service: doing something kind, thoughtful, or helpful for your partner, like cleaning up for...

TL;DR in Russian:

Научитесь слушать жену активно. Благодарите жену за вещи, которые она для вас делает. Узнайте, что является языком любви у вашей жены. Принимайте совместные решения, если они затрагивают вас обоих. Выражайте свое недовольство конструктивно.


It can be hard not to get sucked into the office gossip mill, especially if you are new to the workplace and are starting to get to know your coworkers. But staying out of office politics and gossip will ensure you maintain a professional reputation and do not get too involved personally with rumors or hearsay. Not talking about your coworkers behind their backs or based on gossip will also show you respect your coworkers and are willing to be honest and straightforward with them. This includes coworkers you may not get along with or see eye to eye with. If you have a coworker who you cannot work with, avoid working directly with them, if possible. You may consider talking to your boss or superior if you have constant issues with the coworker's work attitude and performance. If your boss sees potential in you as an employee, they may try to act as a mentor to you. It's important to maintain a relationship with your boss that is professional and humble. Avoid acting like you know more about the job than your boss does or that you are not willing to learn new skills or to take their advice. Having a mentor as your boss can lead to bigger career opportunities and the ability to expand your existing skill set.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не участвуйте в офисных интригах и сплетнях. Относитесь к сотрудникам с добротой и уважением. Относитесь к начальнику как к возможному наставнику.


It can be hard to admit that your drug use is out of control, but be honest with yourself about how much you are taking and how frequently you are using it. This may help you to realistically view your issue and can help motivate you toward positive change and create goals for yourself.  Ask yourself: How much time are you devoting to your habit? How much money are you spending to support your habit? Focus on accepting the reality that you may be spending a lot of time and money using amphetamines. The more you accept it, the more likely you will be motivated toward positive change. This is perhaps due to the idea that acceptance helps us admit and own our weaknesses, which is necessary to modify our behaviors. Again, this can be difficult to do honestly, but try to think about how your amphetamine use has affected your life. For example, did you know that amphetamine use can cause all sorts of negative consequences such as impaired attention, memory, decision-making, impulse control, planning and learning? In some cases, excessive amphetamine use can lead to paranoia and psychosis. Identifying these negative consequences can help motivate you toward positive change. Ask yourself: Have you lost friends or let important relationships suffer? Have you been performing poorly at school or work? Is your health suffering as a result of your amphetamine use? Is your habit likely to cause legal problems (or has it already)? It may be challenging to admit that you have a problem. Individuals commonly think they are in control and that they “can stop at any time.” The first step to getting better, though, is admitting that you have a problem.  You may have an Amphetamine Use Disorder are if you are: taking amphetamines in larger amounts or for longer periods of time than you intended, wanting to reduce your use but not being able to, spending a lot of time or energy getting/using/recovering from amphetamines, and craving amphetamines.  Tolerance is another symptom of Amphetamine Use Disorder. This means you are...

TL;DR in Russian:

Честно оцените свое употребление амфетамина. Оцените влияние употребления амфетамина на вашу жизнь. Признайте свою зависимость.


It can be hard to get out of bed if you don’t sleep correctly. Before making drastic changes, you should take on board a few simple rules. Some things to keep in mind for a good night’s sleep include:  Avoid caffeine and alcohol at least a few hours before going to sleep. Both are proven to have detrimental effects on sleep.  Avoid greasy, spicy, or fatty food in the evening. These foods can cause an upset stomach, which may interfere with your sleep.  Don’t read from a phone or a tablet before sleeping. Research shows that their lights and radiations can wreak your sleep and cause headaches. It's important to prepare for the night. Reading a book or doing a puzzle is far more likely to prepare you for sleeping than playing violent computer games. Your body will produce the sleep hormone and make you tired more quickly.  Don't work or study just before going to bed. Any activity involving the stress of planning is likely to keep you awake. TV is also a source of excitement and should be avoided just before sleeping. Try to read a book or chat with your partner. You could also listen to relaxing or classical music. You can also try mental exercises before sleeping. Thinking about cities beginning with a certain letter will exhaust you quickly! Focus on positive thoughts and memories. Breath deeply to get your body relaxed. If your rhythm is set properly, you may be able to regularly wake up refreshed without an alarm. Make an effort to get to bed and to get up at about the same time every day.  If you work changing shifts or otherwise have to adjust your schedule, your rhythm will be thrown off for a while, but you can reset it over a few days.  You should sleep at least eight hours a day. Some need less sleep than others but make sure to find what’s right for you.  Don’t change entirely your sleeping schedule in a day. Try to change your sleeping pattern over a long period of time. For example, go to sleep fifteen minutes earlier every day. The quality of your bed or the layout of your bedroom might be the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Заведите хорошие привычки. Занимайтесь тихими и успокаивающими вещами перед сном. Войдите в режим. Улучшите обстановку, в которой вы спите.


It can be hard to identify some things, such as delusions, in yourself. Ask your family and friends to help you figure out whether you are displaying these symptoms. Write down when you think you may be having hallucinations or other symptoms. Keep track of what happened just before or during these episodes. This will help you figure out how commonly these things occur. It will also help when you consult a professional for diagnosis. Schizophrenia, especially in teenagers, can creep up slowly over a period of 6-9 months. If you notice that you're behaving differently and don't know why, talk with a mental health professional. Don’t just “write off” different behaviors as nothing, especially if they are very unusual for you or they’re causing you distress or dysfunction. These changes are signs that something is wrong. That something may not be schizophrenia, but it's important to consider. An online test can't tell you if you have schizophrenia. Only a trained clinician can make an accurate diagnosis after tests, examinations, and interviews with you. However, a trustworthy screening quiz can help you figure out what symptoms you may have and whether they are likely to suggest schizophrenia.  The Counselling Resource Mental Health Library has a free version of the STEPI (Schizophrenia Test and Early Psychosis Indicator) on their website.  Psych Central has an online screening test as well. If you're worried that you might have schizophrenia, talk with your physician or therapist. While they do not usually have the resources to diagnose schizophrenia, a general practitioner or therapist can help you understand more about what schizophrenia is and whether you should see a psychiatrist. Your physician can also help you rule out other causes of symptoms, such as injury or illness.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь за помощью к друзьям и родственникам. Ведите дневник. Обратите внимание на необычное поведение. Пройдите онлайн-тест. Поговорите со специалистом.


It can be hard when to do this when someone else pushes your buttons. But it is important because it is your reaction that defines whether or not she feels she can keep going in the same direction with you. Some of the things to consider include:  Stay silent and there's a risk she just thinks you're dumb, awed by her or chewed up with resentment. Take your pick, she's probably happy to think you're feeling all three. And she'll use your silence to keep putting across her point of view at the expense of yours. If you're grinning and bearing it, you're likely turning into a doormat. Argue and she probably thinks her brother/sister has married an angry, resentful and bitter so-and-so who hates her and will do anything to come between her and her brother/sister. You may feel as if you're defending yourself but to her, it's about you not caring what she thinks and possibly even about putting her down. This doesn't mean there isn't room for disagreement; it just means that the manner in which you realign her understanding must be done with care. State the facts about matters that she pressures you about, firmly but politely, and avoid being emotional into the bargain. If you state things simply, stick to the facts and avoid making it into an issue about her, she has few places to run. Be aware that she may continue to resent you for speaking your mind in an assertive and self-effective way but this shouldn't stop you from clarifying your position. Ultimately, she has to respect someone who doesn't argue, lose their temper or bite their tongue but instead makes it absolutely clear where the boundaries exist. And even if she doesn't everyone else will plainly see that you are the cooler head in the room. For example, let's say your daughter Sheila has been running outside and has fallen over. Your S-I-L insists that she needs to see a doctor or something terrible might happen. You are quite sure nothing of the sort will occur and you know you're a good parent but S-I-L keeps badgering you, upping the intensity of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сначала посмотрите на себя со стороны. Создайте границы.


It can be harder for autistic children to read and remember words than it is for them to remember something that they have heard.[citation needed] Pictures can help autistic children to remember a written word and also to remember a word that they have heard.  For example, you could write the word "sun" on a flashcard while showing them a picture of a bright yellow sun at the same time. This allows them to make an association between the picture and the card. Flashcards are another form of pictures that are better than simply writing the word down on a paper. Flashcards can also be used to teach autistic children verbs. For example, you could write the verb “laugh” down on a flashcard and then act it out for them so that they can remember it through your actions. Different actions can be taught this way by showing flashcards of words and then asking the child to act them out. In this way, the words and the actions both are being taught at the same time. Sometimes the child may have a problem in recognizing a real object, even if they were able to recognize it in a picture or image earlier. This may be due to the fact that the color or size of the real object differs from the one in the picture. Autistic people tend to notice minor details very thoroughly, even ones that a neurotypical person wouldn't notice.  It is important for the child to be able to relate the objects in pictures with their real-life counterparts. For instance, if you show the child a picture of a vase, place a similar-looking vase on the table to show them how it looks in real life. Later, you can expand the activity by placing a selection of different objects on the table along with the vase and asking them to pick out the vase. When they gain a vivid image of a real vase in their mind,  it will be easier for them to recognize vases of different kinds as well. Often, an autistic child fixates on a certain topic that they enjoy and may have trouble shifting away from it. This certainly does not mean that your teaching should be stopped....

TL;DR in Russian:

Поработайте с ребенком над словесными ассоциациями. Помогите ребенку распознавать, что реально, а что – нет. Используйте фиксацию ребенка на чем-нибудь, чтобы помочь ему научиться новому понятию. Начните изучение основных математических понятий с помощью цветовых ассоциаций.


It can be indoors or outdoors, at midnight, noon, or early in the morning. There's no perfect place to cast, so don't feel any pressure to hike out to the middle of nowhere if that will make you psychologically uncomfortable. The best place is somewhere you'll feel comforted and at ease, able to commune in the way you wish, and in the appropriate way for whatever ritual or ceremony you hope to perform. If that's your bedroom, basement, or garage, so be it. Make sure that the place is private and free for as long as you'll need the ceremony. Being interrupted in the middle of a ritual is a frustrating and even dangerous experience. First, purify your location physically by tidying up the spot and making things orderly. If you're outdoors, clear the area of branches, leaves and rocks. Next, cleanse the area spiritually. Meditating, use your hands (or a wand or broom if your practice involves these items) and push negative energy from the spot. You could also try using a cleansing agent like witch hazel, sage, patchouli, or lavender to cleanse the area - a couple of drops in each corner of the room and round the perimeter of the circle should be sufficient. Do this by drawing a circle on the floor, sprinkling salt water in a circle, or by laying a cord in a circle (make sure you tie it). Anyhow, the circle is usually as wide as you are tall. Alternatively, if you're in the outdoors, consider using the elements of nature to create your circle. Create a circle of rocks or other natural elements if it seems appropriate to your ritual or practice. Once you start practicing, you're going to want to stay in the circle and not break the connection until your ritual is completed. If you start and you've forgotten a particular candle or totem that's important to you, getting up and hitting "pause" isn't an option. Gather everything you'll need to begin your ritual and start preparing for your ritual.  If you're going to offer something to a spirit, remember to include that and everything you'll need to prepare it. Other...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите безопасное место для создания круга. Очистите место для создания круга. Определите границы своего круга, если хотите. Положите в круг все предметы, которые будете использовать в своем ритуале. Закончите круг.


It can be really hard to admit your feelings to someone that you like a lot. You might be nervously sweating, shaking, terrified – but you will probably feel much better once you get it over with. Ask yourself whether you will regret it if you never ask this person out. If you'll regret it, do it.  Think of it like jumping into cold water. You can spend all day staring at the water, feeling it with your toes, and thinking about how cold it will be. On the other hand, you can push your mind aside and jump in – at which point all you have to worry about is swimming, adjusting, or getting out. If you can't bring yourself to do it, set yourself an incentive. Say, "I need to ask [my crush] out before Friday, or else I can't go to the party on Friday night." Give yourself a reason to cut through your hesitation and get it over with. Try to cut through the games and just tell your crush how you feel. This might be scary, but you also may find that this makes your task a lot simpler. Say, "Hey, I want to be clear. I like you a lot, and I want to spend more time with you. What do you think?" Don't ask them vaguely "out." Don't ask them to be your boyfriend or girlfriend if you haven't even been on a date. Suggest something fun and cheap that you'll both enjoy: a movie, a hike, a show, or a school event. If you ask this person to go somewhere with you alone, they will probably assume that it's a date – but you don't need to try to ask them to be your partner yet. If there is a school dance coming up, ask your crush to go as your date. This can be a great opportunity to show someone how you feel. Keep in mind that unless you explicitly agree upon it, one date to date a dance does not necessarily mean that the two of you are "going out." Ask your crush out on one date, and let that date be exactly what it is. If you have already been going on dates with this person, and you want to ask them to date you exclusively, then you're looking at a different conversation. If the person is just a crush, you may want to keep the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проявляйте смелость! Будьте прямым и честным. Предложите человеку, в которого вы влюблены, заняться чем-то конкретным. Не торопитесь. Примите отказ с достоинством и уважением.


It can be really hard to do this when you're feeling embarrassed and self-conscious, but it is a very important step. Kids can be very cruel at times, and are often much more thoughtless in their dealings with each other than adults generally are. If you become visibly upset, it brings out the mean streak in some people – and they will tease you even worse.   It's especially important to learn to laugh it off if you've made an obvious, public mistake, like spilling a drink, tripping over something, or dropping something you are carrying. Notice how popular kids handle this situation. Typically, they'll make a joke out of it right away (“What is wrong with me today? I'm tripping all over everything!”) They'll probably still get teased by their friends for being a ditz – this happens in the “cool” cliques, too. Then, after a minute, they'll roll their eyes and tell their friends to knock it off...and they'll all start talking about something else. Let yourself off the hook. Everyone does something embarrassing once in awhile. Try to put it out of your head, and genuinely move on – this will cue the people around you that it's not a thing, any longer. This will feel unnatural at first, so you just have to force yourself to do it. It gets easier with a little practice! You don't necessarily need to feel confident all the time, but do your best to look that way; if you appear more confident, you are less likely to be made fun of. People find confidence intimidating. If they can't predict what you're going to say, they aren't going to risk teasing you – they know they'll look like an idiot if you have a clever comeback.  Try to slow down your speech. When you're nervous, you tend to speak faster...slow it down, and you will come across as more confident.  Watch your body language. It may sound clichéd, but try to stand straight with your shoulders back and your chin up. Not only will this make you look more confident, you'll actually feel more confident as well.  Strike up a conversation with your elderly next-door...

TL;DR in Russian:

Научитесь смеяться над собой. Ведите себя уверенно. Признайте это. Проигнорируйте их слова.


It can be really hard to swallow your pride, especially when you’re used to being in charge of your little brother and sister. However, if you’ve made a mistake, genuinely hurt your sibling’s feelings, or just did something you regret, it’s really important that you suck it up and say you’re sorry. Not only will this show your sibling that you really do care, but it will send the message that they should apologize to you when they make a mistake.  Make sure you really mean it and that you’re not just doing it because it’s what your mother or father told you to do, either. Say, “I’m so sorry for what I did,” instead of, “I’m sorry you got so mad at me,” to show that you’re accountable for your actions. If you want to be a good role model, then you can’t be the one throwing the temper tantrums, kicking the wall, or yelling at your parents. Your little sibling will want to be just like you, and it’s up to you to act mature and take the high road instead of acting like a baby. Though you can’t always be mature and reasonable, you can try to set a good precedent, so your sibling knows how to act. If you’re in a fight with your sibling, don’t stoop to his level and name call or start crying, and act more mature instead. This can be tricky, especially if there’s not a huge age difference. Still, try to be more mature even when you’re upset, and your sibling will try to do the same. If you’re an older sibling, then you may have this idea of yourself as being a shining, flawless example for your sibling at all times. Though this can be true in some cases, you should take the pressure off yourself and recognize that you’re only human. When you’ve done something wrong, you can talk to your sibling about the behavior and explain what you would do differently, next time. Whether you’ve yelled at your mother or showed unsportsmanlike behavior at your soccer game, you can tell your sibling what happened and show that you regret the behavior. You don’t want to cover up anything you’ve done wrong and act like you’re always on...

TL;DR in Russian:

Извинитесь, если вы задели чувства брата или сестры. Будьте более зрелым братом или сестрой. Покажите, что вы не идеальны. Проводите время с братом или сестрой. Если вы хотите заняться чем-то наедине, объясните, почему. Не соревнуйтесь. Хорошо учитесь в школе. Не заставляйте вашего брата или сестру делать то, что делают взрослые, если он или она к этому не готовы.


It can be really hard, but don’t allow yourself to fall into the trap of believing you need to look like a TV star or model in order to be pretty. Instead, appreciate the natural beauty you can see in yourself and others. By paying attention to the things you find attractive about others, it may be easier for you to find things you like about yourself, as well. If your opinion about how you look is affecting your self-esteem, you might struggle with negative thinking. It can be really hard, but when you're thinking bad things about yourself, try to switch to a positive, factual thought instead. For instance, you might focus on a few of your best qualities, or you could look for a solution if you're concerned about a problem that you can change.  For instance, instead of thinking, "I don't look like a model, so no one will ever love me," you might tell yourself, "I'm really funny and I'm a great friend, and people really like being around me." If you find yourself thinking something like, "I hate my hair," try to think of something constructive, like, "I need to figure out the haircut that will work best for my hair's texture. Maybe I can try growing it out for a while, and in the meantime, I'll save up for a trip to a nice salon." In order to let your inner beauty to shine through, treat others with compassion and love. Look for the good in them, and celebrate it. Give genuine compliments to your family and friends, and be a supportive listener when someone is going through a hard time. If you’re beautiful on the inside, you’re going to seem more attractive on the outside. Not only will smiling make you seem more attractive, but it might even make you feel happier. People almost always look prettier when they’re happy, so this is an easy way to brighten up your look any time. If you don’t feel like smiling, at least try to keep a pleasant expression on your face whenever you want to look pretty. Don’t waste your time around people who put you down or say negative things about your appearance. Instead, make an...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не сравнивайте себя с другими, особенно с изображениями в средствах массовой информации. Оспаривайте негативные мысли и заменяйте их конструктивными. Будьте добры Улыбайтесь Уделяйте больше времени людям, благодаря которым вы нравитесь себе.


It can be relatively easy to keep a conversation going once you’ve introduced yourself by finding something that ties you to the other person. Draw on the common situation or something you notice about the person to hold the person’s interest. Your conversation partner may also be able to introduce you to others with similar interests.  Notice what the person is wearing or something else about them. For example, you could say “I noticed you have the new iPad Air. My model is four years old and I’m in the market for a new one. How do you like that one?” or “I couldn’t help but notice that you’re reading the same book as me. What do you think of it?” Use the situation to your benefit. For example, if you are at a sporting event say “Are you here participating or watching?” At a work event you could say, “I work in sales and marketing, where do you work?” Most people love flattery. Find something nice about the person to say and compliment it. This can help stimulate further conversation and may help you meet other people, too.  Make sure your compliment is sincere. Most people can tell when someone is feeding them a line and it may turn the person off of you and the conversation.  Focus your compliment on something about their appearance, demeanor, or item they own. For example, you can say “I couldn’t help but staring at that beautiful nail color,” or “That was a beautiful talk! You are so eloquent and engaging,” or “I see you have the latest Android. I’ve been trying to get my hands on it and can’t. I’m totally jealous you have it!” Thank the person if they compliment you back. You can use this as a way to invite them to get to know you better. Ask questions and repeat key points during the conversation. Not only does this show that you’re listening closely, but also that you are interested in the person or group.  Use natural pauses in the conversation to ask questions about something the person has said. You can also repeat an item as a part of your question. For example, you could say “You said that you’re...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите что-то общее. Сделайте человеку комплимент. Внимательно слушайте. Расскажите о себе. Будьте откровенны. Помните о необходимости держать некоторые вещи в тайне.


It can be scary to start up a conversation with your crush. It may feel silly to you, but may be people find rehearsing what to say ahead of time can help. If you're unsure how to approach your crush, stand in front of the mirror in your home and practice.  Try to think of ways to start a conversation. Where do you normally see this person? If you have class together, you can practice asking him about a homework assignment or making a comment on the latest test. You don't have to plan what you'll say word-for-word. In fact, rehearsing too much may make your conversation sound strained. Instead, have a general idea of what you want to talk about. Look for observations or comments you can make to get the conversation started. There are a variety of ways to begin a conversation. Once you're talking, you can proceed to keep things flowing, allowing you to get to know your crush.  Try starting with a compliment. For example, say something like, "Hey, I love your sweater." You can also make an observation. For example, "What did you think of that quiz yesterday? I thought it was really tough." You can ask a question. For example, "Do you know when that report is due? I forgot to write it down." Try to approach him in comfortable situations. If he's not distracted, it will be easier to get his attention. Once you start talking, ask some questions. It can be difficult to establish a smooth flow of conversation at first. One helpful tip to remember is that people generally enjoy talking about themselves. If you want your crush to keep talking, ask him questions. This can also help you get to know him better.  Ask him about things you have in common, at first. For example, "What do you think of this class?" and, "Do you think you'll go to the football games this season?" Once you're in a conversation, try to ask more broad questions that relate to the topic at hand. If you end up discussing a movie you watched in class, say something like, "What kind of movies do you like in general?" During the initial conversation,...

Если вы нервничаете, то отрепетируйте фразы. Найдите тему для разговора. Задавайте вопросы. Поддерживайте разговор нужное количество времени.


It can be tempting to make up a story to explain your tardiness, but resist the urge. The reason why you're late ultimately matters less than making it clear that you intend to do everything in your power to keep it from happening again. Besides, if your cover story is discovered to be false, it will only make you look worse. Even small embellishments could land you in hot water. All it would take is a radio traffic report to disprove your claim that you were late due to a pileup on the interstate. Focusing on how your actions have affected others tends to make a better impression than trying to downplay the mistake. "Thank you for adjusting your schedule on such short notice," for instance, sounds better than, "There was a big wreck on the interstate." The only time you shouldn't say sorry right off the bat is when there’s an important meeting going on. In that case, it's best to just walk in and join the meeting in progress. Your apology can wait until afterwards.  Make as little noise as possible as you slip in to avoid drawing any more unnecessary attention to yourself. Not only would apologizing during a meeting disrupt the proceedings, it would also add to your embarrassment by having to admit it in front of your higher-ups and coworkers. Of course, everyone is late from time to time. If you start to develop a habit, however, you’ll inevitably come to be viewed as an unreliable employee. No matter how often or how sincerely you explain yourself, repeating your mistake suggests you're not actually sorry for what you've done.  If necessary, start waking up half an hour earlier to give yourself a little cushion for your morning routine or commute. It’s possible that you could be reprimanded, penalized, or even fired for being chronically late.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не врите и не придумывайте оправдания. Дождитесь окончания встречи, чтобы принести извинения, если вы опоздали на рабочую встречу. Делайте все возможное, чтобы не допускать опозданий в будущем.


It can be tempting to stay away from the issue that is causing you problems. However, avoiding the problem does not help solve it.  Instead, accept that the problem exists and ask yourself some questions about it. What are the consequences of this problem? Who does it involve?  If you don’t think you have a problem, but everyone tells you there is a problem, try to see if there is truth to it. If you are having trouble admitting you have a problem, you might be in denial. For example, if you don’t want to accept that a close family member is involved with drugs, you might come up with other excuses for her behavior. While denial can be useful at times by protecting your mental health, it can in other cases lead you away from dealing with the problem head on.  In fact, avoidance often exacerbates the problem and doesn’t provide any lasting relief. Avoiding your problem will continue to create a cycle of stress for you as it will always be weighing on the back of your mind. That said, sometimes a little escapism can be healthy. If you find yourself overwhelmed and stressed out, take a break! Watch a TV show or read a book, or engage in some other hobby you enjoy. You could even just zone out and let your mind wander! Catastrophizing means to have irrational thoughts, such as exaggerating your problem by blowing it out of proportion. For example, you might think that because you failed one class it means that you will never get a good job. Catastrophizing can also mean engaging in all or none thinking (e.g., I'm either going to solve this problem or my life is over).  You can avoid catastrophizing by being cognizant of when you are doing it. This requires that you monitor your own thoughts and try to check them for accuracy. You can monitor your thoughts by remembering to think about them and by asking yourself if someone else had that thought, would you think they were being accurate? When did you first notice this problem? Sometimes you may not notice something until it has been going on for a long time. This...

TL;DR in Russian:

Признайте проблему. Избегайте катастрофизации. Подумайте о происхождении проблемы. Взгляните на ситуацию в перспективе. Примите вызов.


It can be tempting to think to yourself that you’ll do it tomorrow or you’ll do it after x thing happens. Procrastination stems from a fear of failure. The longer you put off changing yourself, the longer it will take to fix your life. The people you hang around will have a significant effect on you achieving your goals. Look for friends who will encourage you and help you to better yourself. Tell someone you trust about your plans and ask them to help you fix your life. Such people might give you valuable advice and resources that you would not have thought of on your own. The plan you laid out earlier will let you know if you are on track. As your goal(s) are time based, you have a schedule to follow. Sometimes, things happen that you didn’t account for and your plans may get delayed. This doesn’t mean that you aren’t making progress. It just means there’s an obstacle that you didn’t foresee. Don’t take this as an excuse to give up. Think of a solution, factor it in. Remind yourself why you wanted to fix your life in the first place. Fixing your life won’t happen overnight. It takes time to break old habits and practice new behaviors and it takes time for results to happen. You might find yourself berating yourself and being critical. Remind yourself that negative thinking leads to negative behavior. If you fall back into an old habit, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed and are back at square one. Remind yourself of your goals and why you wanted to fix your life in the first place.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните прямо сейчас. Окружите себя положительными людьми. Фиксируйте свои успехи. Не сдавайтесь.


It can be tempting to want to call it quits as soon as you get the page count or the word count finished, but you'll be much better off if you let the paper sit for a while and return to it with fresh eyes and be willing to make changes and get the draft revised into a finished product. Try writing a rough draft the weekend before it's due, and giving it to your teacher for comments several days before the due date. Take the feedback into consideration and make the necessary changes. Revision is difficult, but it’s also essential to good writing. Many students think that revising is about fixing spelling errors and typos, and while that's certainly a part of proofreading, it's important to know that NO writer writes a perfect argument with flawless organization and construction on their first run-through. You've got more work to do. Try:  Moving paragraphs around to get the best possible organization of points, the best "flow" Delete whole sentences that are repetitive or that don't work Removing any points that don't support your argument One of the best ways you can improve a draft in revision is by picking on your points that are too general and making them much more specific. This might involve adding more supporting evidence in the form of quotations or logic, it might involve rethinking the point entirely and shifting the focus, and it might involve looking for entirely new points and new evidence that supports your thesis. Think of each main point you're making like a mountain in a mountain range that you're flying over in a helicopter. You can stay above them and fly over them quickly, pointing out their features from far away and giving us a quick flyover tour, or you can drop us down in between them and show us up close, so we see the mountain goats and the rocks and the waterfalls. Which would be a better tour? One of the best ways to pick on yourself and see if your writing holds up is to sit with your paper in front of you and read it aloud. Does it sound "right"? Circle anything that needs to be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Получите несколько отзывов о вашей работе. Будьте готовы вносить изменения. Перейдите от общего к частному. Перечитайте свой черновик вслух. Откорректируйте работу на последнем этапе.


It can be tough to relax in a cramped vehicle. Try resting your pillow up on your lap and leaning forward over your knees, or propping it up against the side of the headrest so you can fall asleep with the sun shining on your face. If there's enough room, you might even be able to kick your feet up on the console or shift sideways to stretch out your legs. Remember, safety first: always leave your seatbelt on for the entire duration of your trip, even when you're trying to get comfortable. Long car rides make a perfect opportunity to catch a few Zs, especially if you're setting out early in the morning. Don't forget to grab a pillow before you leave home so you'll have something to rest your head on. By the time you wake up, you'll be hours closer to your destination. A sleep mask and pair of earplugs can come in handy for blocking out unwanted light and noise, helping you drift off in peace. Throw at least a couple books into the bag you're keeping with you and break them out when you feel like enjoying a quiet activity. Reading is a great way to fight off boredom and take your mind off the long miles ahead.  Pick out a bestseller or popular fiction title that doesn't require too much concentration. Reading in the car makes some people nauseous. If you feel like you're starting to get car sick, take a break for a little while. Stick some paper and pens or pencils into your personal bag. That way, you'll be able to doodle or jot down your thoughts during slower moments. A long car ride will also be a good opportunity to get caught up on incomplete homework assignments.  Pass the notepad back and forth with a friend and play a paper-based game like Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman or Mash.  Get in touch with your creative side by journaling or writing a poem or short story. Have everyone take turns spotting out-of-state license plates or solving tricky riddles. Word games are great because all you need to participate is an imagination. Some other popular games include:  “I Spy,” where one player describes an object in or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите удобное положение. Вздремните. Почитайте книгу. Возьмите блокнот. Играйте в слова. Общайтесь.


It can be very, very hard to confess to someone you're romantically involved with. No one wants to hurt or disappoint the people they love. Unfortunately, by not confessing, you  are  hurting your S.O. They just don't know they're being hurt. Confessions within the context of a romantic relationship can be very difficult and painful, so, if you're hesitating, motivate yourself to start the confession process by thinking of your confession as an act of love. You're showing that you love your partner by telling them the truth, even if the truth damages their opinion of you. This being said, don't twist your love for your partner into an excuse for your actions. "I kept this information from you because I love you" isn't a justification for your behavior. If you haven't been honest to your partner, you've hurt them. Period. In a relationship, it's even more important than normal that your partner knows exactly how you've hurt them. Because you (presumably) still care about your partner, it can be tempting to avoid hurting his or her feelings by lying about what you've done to make your wrongdoing seem less serious than it is or somehow well-intentioned. Don't do this. Your partner deserves to know the truth, even if it's a painful truth. This will also open your relationship up to future heartbreak, should your lie be discovered. Be honest and tell the  whole  story of your wrongdoing.  While it's very important to be forthcoming about what you've done, it's possible to cause unnecessary pain by giving too much detail in your confession. If, for instance, you've committed an act of infidelity, you should be honest about  who  was involved and  when  the event occurred, but you shouldn't go into a detailed play-by-play of the day's events unless you're asked to - this information can be very painful for your partner to hear. Think of a romantic confession as a particularly difficult way of updating your partner on the state of your relationship. You can't have a healthy relationship that's open to growth if both...

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспринимайте признание как поступок, порожденный любовью. Объясните свой поступок. Попросите прощения за преданное доверие. Попросите прощения за разрушение отношений. Примите последствия своих действий.


It can help to decide on the theme before making the centerpiece you'll have. This will determine both the centerpiece style and whether you'll decorate the whole table in the same theme or rely simply on the centerpiece as the focal point.  Work out how much space the centerpiece will require. Also consider is whether you'll display more than one centerpiece––for a long table, you might need to repeat the centerpiece to ensure full coverage. Will you use a tablecloth? If so, the centerpiece may need to match the cloth.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите тему праздничного стола в целом.


It can help to talk about what worries you. Choose a friend or family member that will understand how you’re feeling.  Let your loved one know that you understand that you are worrying, but you need to get it out of your head, so you can move on. Most of the time, loved ones will understand and be more than happy to be your soundboard. If possible, find someone who has the same worries as you, so you can feel less alone in your worrying. You can then both work on calming fears by focusing on what you both know is true at the moment. Sometimes worry is brought on by feeling like you are going through something hard all alone. Talking with someone can help offer you support and comfort. Continue to write until you can’t write about it anymore. This free form of writing can unlock some of the things your subconscious is dealing with at the moment. It can be surprising to see what you write down afterward because many times, your worries are wrapped up in things that you really don't understand consciously. A professional can help you vent the worries, process them and then let them go. Therapists understand that worrying is a state of mind that can be changed. You just need to work on it and follow the guidance of your therapist.  Find a therapist that has experience helping people who worry or have anxiety disorders. Let the therapist know that you are working on eliminating worry, so you can be happier. Don't be afraid to discuss your worries in depth. Sometimes, that's the only way to get them out and gone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Беседуйте с тем, кому доверяете. Делайте записи в дневнике о ситуациях, которые вас беспокоят. Поговорите о своем беспокойстве с психотерапевтом.


It can take a while to calm down for the night and get your body ready for bed. By starting a bedtime routine about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, your body will have a chance to wind down and relax. Taking a bath before bed can help to relax and soothe your muscles and clear your mind. Try taking a warm bath as the first part of your bedtime routine. Use your favorite bubble bath to get clean and soak in the tub for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then dry off with a clean, fluffy towel. Cozy pajamas can help you to feel comfortable and sleep better. Choose some pajamas that work with the season. For example, if it is winter and you are a little cold at night, then put on some flannel pajamas. If it is summer and you tend to get hot during the night, then put on something light, like a t-shirt and shorts. You can also do other things to make yourself comfortable. For example, if your feet feel cold, then put on some socks. If your room feels hot, then turn on a fan. After you have your pajamas on, you will need to take care of any other personal needs to make sure that you have a good night’s sleep. Brush your teeth, wash your face, have a drink of water, and go to the bathroom before you get into bed. Music can help you to relax, so it is a great addition to a nightly bedtime routine. Choose something soothing, such as classical or jazz. Or you can listen to a few slow songs by one of your favorite musicians. Just make sure that whatever you choose is nice and relaxing. Turning down the lights will help your body to release melatonin, which is a necessary sleep hormone that our bodies make. Keeping the lights on bright may interfere with your body’s ability to release melatonin. You do not need to turn off all of the lights, but make sure that any lights that are left on are dim. For example, a small table lamp or a night light could offer some dim light to help you fall asleep. After you have seen to all of your needs and made your bedroom nice and cozy, you can climb into your bed and start to relax. You do not...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начинайте придерживаться распорядка для подготовки ко сну примерно за 30–60 минут до того, как идти в кровать. Примите теплую ванну. Наденьте пижаму. Позаботьтесь о других личных потребностях. Включите расслабляющую музыку. Приглушите свет. Заберитесь в кровать. Тихо поболтайте с кем-нибудь или почитайте рассказ.


It could be a birthday or house party, depending on what you and your friends want.   You should consider who is going to be coming, such as family and friends, and how many people you are inviting.  If it is a birthday party, children will more than likely be present.  If you are having a house party, more than likely you will mainly have friends.  Make sure you know what type of party you are having well in advance, with probably 2 weeks notice. There are plenty of other parties.  However, the main parties are birthday and house. If it is a house party, reserve a dance hall.  If is a birthday party, you can have it at home.  You can have a house party at home, but you will need to find a bunch of equipment and a DJ. Do not spend too much money on your party.  If you are having a birthday party, it should not cost too much. You will need this for any party, and especially for a birthday party.  You will need to have a maximum number of guests.  If you are having friends over for a birthday party, only invite the closest friends. You can easily have a party with a few people.  There is no minimum. If there is a certain theme, you will need to note the proper attire in your invitation.   If you are having a house party, it is recommended that your guests have a more informal dress.  If the party is for a birthday, more formal attire would probably work best. Not everyone might show up in the right theme, depending on the theme.  Try to keep the theme relevant to the type of party. In the beginning of the party, you should have something entertaining, such as certain dancing.  Then you should have certain games like pool (if you have a pool table).  You can even invite them to your hot tub or pool (if you have a pool). Just make sure the party will not be boring. Make sure your house or dance floor is clean before you have the party.  Guests will more than likely stay for the entire party if the place is clean.  The cleaner your party atmosphere is, the more your guests will be attracted to the party.  It is...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о том, вечеринку какого формата вы хотите организовать. Определитесь с местом проведения вашей вечеринки. Составьте список гостей. Определитесь с тематикой вечеринки, если таковая имеется. Спланируйте развлечения для вашей вечеринки. Приберитесь в доме или наймите горничную.


It could be hard to differentiate if a brass piece is actual brass, or brass-plated. Hold a magnet near the brass piece and see if it's magnetically attracted to the brass. If the magnet does not stick, you are most likely handling brass. If the magnet does stick, it's likely that your “brass” piece is actually a brass-plated piece of iron or steel.  An alternative way to check if your piece is brass or brass-plated, is to use a sharp kitchen knife and scratch an inconspicuous part of the item. If the item is brass, the color in the scratch should be bright yellow.  If the scratch mark is another color, like silver, then it is definitely another metal, and you still need to stick with non-abrasive cleaners so you don't remove the brass plating. Clean the entire brass-plated surface with a mixture of mild soap and cold to lukewarm water. Dip a cloth into the soapy water, wring out the cloth so it's only slightly damp, and gently rub the surface of the brass piece.  Never try to polish lacquered brass. The polish tends to turn the surface of the brass piece cloudy.  Don't use cleaners containing ammonia on lacquered brass pieces, because the ammonia will break down the protective lacquer. Dip a soft cotton cloth into a mixture of mild dish detergent and lukewarm water, wring out the cloth so it is only slightly damp, and gently wipe the surface of the brass piece clean. You can use an old toothbrush to clean out the nooks and crannies in the brass piece. Rinse the brass piece with water, and dry it completely using a clean cloth.  Polishing brass-plated items can potentially remove some of the brass plating. If you plan to polish your brass-plated object, do so very gently.  It may be helpful to test the polish on an inconspicuous area of your brass-plated item before you polish the entire piece.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, какое у вас изделие, - из чистой латуни или покрытое латунью. Очистите лакированную поверхность. Очистите нелакированную поверхность. Промойте изделие под водой и нанесите неагрессивную полировку.


It could be that they're not actually giving you the cold shoulder. Maybe they, or someone they care about, is ill or having personal problems. You won't know for sure until you ask them, but if you notice they seem more withdrawn with other people, too, it might not be the cold shoulder at all.  If you notice a really severe personality change and other mutual friends do, too, talk to the person immediately. They could be in a position where they really need help. Keep in mind that they might not even be aware they're giving you the silent treatment. People can withdraw from others for a variety of reasons without realizing it. If this isn't the first time they have given you the cold shoulder, ask yourself a few questions. Have they treated you this way before? Was it in response to something you said or did that they didn't like? If so, you might be in a  manipulative or controlling relationship. If you are in a manipulative, controlling, or abusive relationship, you might want to see a therapist to discuss the relationship and your place in it. It can also help to share your concerns about your relationship with a trusted friend or family member, who can support you during a difficult time. You want to feel like you said what you needed to say, so plan it ahead of time. It's easy to get nervous or defensive, or to come off the wrong way if you aren't prepared. Close your eyes and imagine you're alone with this person and say out loud what you want to say.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, что еще происходит в жизни этого человека. Определите, стало ли это закономерностью. Потренируйте свою речь.


It could help with inspiration. Reread a book that you enjoy if you want to. You can even plot the book, or write down what it is about the characters or scenes that really inspires you. Try picking something in the genre you're writing in, whether it's Sci-Fi, Romance, or a Thriller, to get ideas about your subject matter. If you reread your story or other previous stories, it might spark something in your brain. Inspiration is a mysterious thing; it can come back at any time. Read a story about someone who you like or admire and make a character based on that person, include their personality traits and hobbies so if you do write a story on them it makes it easier when you're knowing almost everything about them. . Poetry can also inspire you to write fiction -- or to write some poetry of your own! You may be surprised, but an image in a poem, whether it's the "Silken, sad, uncertain, rustling of each purple curtain" in Poe's "The Raven," or the line, "You, my father, there on the sad height," from Dylan Thomas' poem, "Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light," that brings an image or an idea to mind, soon enough, you'll be inspired by a completely new idea! Hey, picking up a book about a historical event, such at the Montgomery Bus Boycotts or the Siege of Leningrad, can also help you come up with a new vision or idea that took place during that time. Soon, you'll have new characters, plots, or lines of dialogue floating through your head. Find a newspaper and rewrite the article -- that murder last week was a ghost getting revenge on her evil grandson, and... (this can help get ideas flowing).

TL;DR in Russian:

Почитайте роман. Перечитайте свои тексты. Почитайте о человеке, который вас восхищает. Почитайте стихи. Почитайте документальную литературу. Перепишите газетную статью.


It does you no good to go straight from working on last-minute details for your job to trying to get to sleep. You'll just sit there thinking about your work.  Spend at least one hour before bedtime relaxing your mind in preparation. Do this outside of bed. Dim the lights, and avoid television, computer, and phone screens. You're trying to quiet your mind. Just as a warm bath, a bottle, and a bed-time story lets a baby's body know that it's time to start winding down, a set, relaxing routine before bedtime will train your body to start relaxing.  Take a relaxing bath. Add a few drops of one of the essential oils, such as rose or lavender, to help yourself relax. Read a set amount of a good book. Only read one chapter a night — don't let yourself get sucked into reading through the night. Listen to calming music. The British Academy of Sound Therapy has put together a playlist of the most relaxing songs according to science. Their playlist includes artists such as Marconi Union, Coldplay, and Enya. Believe it or not, a glass of warm milk might really help you sleep better. Dairy products are high in tryptophan, an amino acid that helps make you feel sleepy. You may also enjoy the sedative effect of an herbal tea, such as chamomile, passion flower, or valerian root.  Avoid beverages that have caffeine, including some teas. Green tea and black tea tend to have fairly high levels of caffeine, so choose an herbal tea that says “caffeine-free” instead. Avoid alcohol before bed. While it may help you fall asleep faster, alcohol also reduces your REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which can make you feel unrested when you wake up the next morning. It may also cause sleep apnea, which further disturbs your rest.  Cherries contain natural melatonin, a compound that helps your body fall asleep. Try drinking a small glass of tart cherry juice before bed. Some people may find eating a small snack before bedtime helps them sleep. Doctors recommend a small, carbohydrate-rich snack to increase your levels of tryptophan. Try a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь расслабиться перед тем, как лечь спать. Продумайте особые вечерние ритуалы. Выпейте что-нибудь расслабляющее. Съешьте что-нибудь небольшое. Подготовьте комнату ко сну. Подберите удобную одежду для сна. Наденьте маску для сна.


It doesn't have to be 100 percent bare metal––scrape it off with a metal implement and then scrub repeatedly with small amounts of baking soda and soap until it stops making the soda black.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помойте кухонную утварь. Сполосните посуду и дайте ей просохнуть.


It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a cheap point and shoot you can pick up at any convenient store. Make sure the film is all used up before taking apart the camera. Using the flat edge of a screwdriver, carefully pry the camera apart. Be careful not to touch the printed circuit board or any metal parts inside. You'll be dealing with the potential of getting a painful shock if you accidentally touch the flash capacitor, which carries about 300 volts. It is commonly a black cylindrical item, with two leads coming out of the bottom. Use an instrument with an insulated end to avoid getting shocked. An insulated tool has a rubber grip that prevents an electric current from shocking you. Slide your screwdriver’s tip against one of the sealants by the flash to discharge the capacitor. You should hear a quick pop followed by a small spray of sparks.  Once the initial spark has sparked, you shouldn’t need to redo this. As you remove the board, continue checking the soldered sealants on the circuit board by the capacitor. You do not need to slide the screwdriver’s tip hard. Don’t damage the rest of the circuit board checking for active energy. After carefully taking apart your disposable camera, remove the board and capacitor. Mark on the battery holder, which side is positive and negative with a marker. You’ll be able to tell because there should already be a battery in the machine. Remove the battery from the device before continuing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Достаньте одноразовый фотоаппарат. Раскройте корпус. Наденьте резиновые перчатки. Найдите конденсатор. Разрядите конденсатор. Достаньте плату и конденсатор.


It doesn't have to be complex, just a way to get your head around the direction of the plot. For example, that classic Hollywood story line: boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back again. (The chase scenes are added later.) It can be tempting to just start writing and try to figure out twists and turns of your plot as you go along. Don't do it! Even a simple outline will help you see the big picture and save you hours of rewriting. Start with a basic arc and expand section by section. Flesh out your story, populating it with at least the main characters, locations, time period, and mood. When you have part of an outline that will take more than a few words to describe, create a sub-outline to break that section into manageable parts. Give each of them a little story of their own, and even if you don't add that info into your story, it will give a sense of how your character might act in a given situation. If you suddenly have a brilliant idea about how to resolve a situation near the end, but you're still on Chapter 1, write it down! Never let an idea go to waste. You're now ready to start your "sloppy copy," otherwise known as your first draft! Using your outline, flesh out the characters and the narrative. Don’t let yourself get bogged down here. It’s not crucial to find exactly the perfect word when you’re drafting. It’s much more important to get all your ideas out so you can tinker with them. Let your story have its say, and you may find yourself heading in unexpected, but very interesting directions. You're still the director, but stay open to inspiration. You’ll find that if you’ve thought sufficiently about who your characters are, what they want, and why they want it, they’ll guide how you write. Don't get caught up in fine tuning things yet, just let the story play out on paper. If you realize 2/3 of the way through the story that a character is really the Ambassador to India, make a note, and finish the story with her as the Ambassador. Don't go back and start re-writing...

TL;DR in Russian:

It doesn't have to be the latest version if your computer is older. Flight simulators will help you learn about the instruments and systems found in a typical trainer aircraft as well as make you familiar with maneuvers and procedures you will need to master for your private pilot exam. Thus you will need to spend less time and money on actual flight lessons, which are quite expensive. X-Plane's website truthfully says that if a flight simulator can save you an hour with a controller, it will have effectively paid for itself. Remember that while flight simulators are good for procedures training, they won't give you all of the stick-and-rudder skills to fly a real airplane. See if conditions match what those products indicate.  That way, when you do fly, you'll have a higher confidence in the weather predictions. This will make the airplane climb or stall if you pull back too far. Pitch changes speed, power changes altitude.   This will cause the plane to bank resulting in a left turn. You also need to add left rudder (the left peddle) to keep the plane coordinated. Same thing to turn right but use the right controls

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите авиа симулятор Microsoft Flight Simulator или Laminar Research's X-Plane. Проверяйте погодные программы, такие как METARS и TAFs, даже в дни, когда вы не летаете.

It doesn't much matter who gets to go first, as teams alternate throwing out the jack at the beginning of each new frame. The team that won the coin toss or was randomly selected to start gets two opportunities to throw the jack into a zone 5 m (~16 feet), which ends 2.5 m (~8 feet) from the endboard of the court. If the team that first throws the jack fails to get the jack into the prescribed zone, the second team gets to throw out the jack.  An alternate set of rules says that the jack need only travel past a regulator pin that marks the middle of court. If you're not playing bocce on a court, feel free to throw the jack wherever, provided that it's far enough away from players so that gameplay doesn't become too easy. The team that threw out the jack is responsible for throwing out the first bocce ball. The aim is to get the bocce ball as close to the jack as possible. Players who throw out the bocce ball must stand behind the fault line, which is approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) above the bottom of the baseboard. There are several ways to throw a bocce ball. Most tend to throw the bocce underhanded, with their palm cupping the underside of the ball, and either lobbing the ball higher into the air or bowling the ball from closer to the ground. Some, however, choose to throw the ball cupping it from the top instead of from the bottom, and lobbing it the same way they would have an underhand throw. The team which hasn't yet bowled gets a chance to now. One player from their team bowls, trying to get the ball as close to the jack as possible. The team whose bocce ball is farthest away from the jack now gets to bowl its remaining three bocce balls in succession, each time trying to get as close to the jack as possible. (Note: International rules always give the next bowl to the team farthest from the jack as opposed to the rules outlined here).  It is acceptable to hit the jack when bowling with a bocce. The only practical effect of hitting the jack is that is readjusts the nucleus of where you want to aim. If...

It easy to think that a pet is underweight, whereas the reality could be that he is just less heavy than an obese dog of the same breed that you happen to know. Maybe your dog is actually fine, but it's the other dog that is too fat! For dogs that are thin but full of energy and producing formed feces, the first step is to check they are getting enough calories per meal. A dog may lose weight because it uses up more calories than it is eating. This may be straightforward -- as when the dog isn't being fed enough food. If this is the case, then increasing his portion size should do the trick.  The simplest way to do this is compare your dog's ideal weight with the suggested feeding amount on the food packaging. If your dog is a specific breed, there is lots of information online about what is that breed's ideal weight. Go with the weight you want the dog to be, rather than the weight it is at the moment. For example, if you own a male Labrador then an average sized dog should weigh up to 40kg. Measure out a typical portion of your dog's daily food allowance by weight. Make a note of the weight of the food and compare it to the recommended amount from the food packaging.  It's interesting to note that some of these recommendations are actually 25% above what the dog needs (they tend to be on the generous side, rather than the skimpy side). If you are giving your Labrador 400g of kibble a day, and the packaging advises 500g a day, then your dog is being fed 20% less calories than the recommended and so it will lose weight. This is easily rectified by increasing the amount of his daily allowance. This can be a difficult decision because each food contains different amounts of calories and the size of dogs vary so much. As a rule of thumb, increase the food by no more than 10% of the original quantity.  So if you were feeding 400g a day, an extra 10% adds another 40g, which you would split into 2 meals of 20g each additional. Feed this for 2 -3 days and check the dog doesn't have diarrhea, at which point you can...

It has all the advantages of lime and none of the disadvantages. This liquid admixture plasticises a cement/sand mix using less gauging water than usual, giving an easily workable 'fatty' mortar with strong adhesion. It has a reasonably fast initial setting period but leaves ample time for the adjustment of bricks. When dry the mortar with added plasticiser is more resistant to the effects of frost than a standard cement/sand/lime mix. It is normal practice to mix sufficient plasticiser and water in a large tub to provide a uniform strength for several mixes of cement and sand. As a rough guide, you will need to mix in 0.28 liters (0.1 US gal) of plasticiser with water for every 50Kg of cement.

It has been shown by the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) that people who lost 5 to 7 percent of their body weight and exercised for a half hour each day 5 days a week cut their risk of developing diabetes by 58 percent.  Whatever your weight, exercise is an important part of keeping healthy. Excessive body fat hinders the breakdown use of glucose, which is essential for energy. Even a mere 30 minutes of heart-rate-elevating exercise per day can help you avoid diabetes and maintain a healthy weight. If you feel as though you don’t have time to exercise, try walking for half an hour during your lunch break for 5 days a week.  This can be a way to “sneak in” exercise. You can avoid the traffic rush hour by visiting the gym or going for a brisk walk or jog outdoors for 45 minutes to an hour after you get off work.  You may arrive home a little later, but you will feel more relaxed because of the exercise the reduced stress level from avoiding rush-hour traffic. Dogs make it easier to exercise and are a form of responsibility that obliges you to get out.  If you don’t have a dog (or don’t want to get one), offer to walk a neighbor’s dog. to your local shops instead of driving. Unless you've got heavy packages to carry, walking locally makes good sense. Recruit a friend or family member to join you for company; conversing while walking makes the walk seem shorter. Load your iPod or MP3 player with your favorite upbeat music. Give yourself a great excuse to walk or run while listening to your music selection.  You can even create a playlist that mirrors your workout, with a slow “warm-up” song, 30-minutes of upbeat walking/jogging music, then a 3-4 minute “cool-down” song.  Using a timed playlist can help you ensure that your exercise session is the appropriate length. Stress is linked to high glucose levels that can lead to diabetes. This is because when your body recognizes that you are stressed, it primes itself for a “fight or flight” response that throws off your hormone levels. This hormonal change can also...

It has to be loose and flexible. If you wear anything too tight, then you risk it being ripped. Tight clothing can also prevent you from doing the side splits completely. Spend 10 to 15 minutes doing light activity and get your blood going by doing jumping jacks, jogging, squats, and lunges. You want to get your blood flowing and loosen up your muscles.  Combine both cardiovascular and dynamic exercises to warm up. Start with an exercise like jumping jacks, then follow with a lunge. Cardiovascular exercises also burn excess fat and calories. Run on the spot or dance for at least 5 minutes to warm up. Do lower back and inner thigh stretches for 10 or so minutes.  Butterfly stretch. This stretch is mainly useful for box splits, although it increases all round leg flexibility. Sit on the floor and push your feet inwards, using your elbows to push your knees down. Pike stretch. Do this standing up and sitting down. Stand straight and touch your toes for as long as you can, keeping your legs completely vertical.  Note that the older you are, the more difficult it is to stretch. This is because your body dehydrates as it gets older, causing the lubricants between your tissues to decrease. This means that it will take longer for you to do the splits.  It doesn't mean that you can't do it though; take it slowly.

It is a good idea to wash your sheets once per week or at least every couple of weeks. You should take your lifestyle, personal preferences and geographic location into account in deciding how often to wash your sheets.  If you take a shower before going to bed and wear fresh pajamas, you may not need to wash your sheets as frequently. If you live in a place with limited water supply, it may be a good idea to avoid washing your sheets too frequently.  If you have a very active sex life, you may want to wash your sheets more regularly.  If you sweat a lot at night, it may be a good idea to wash your sheets more frequently. Brand new sheets have chemicals added during manufacture that can prevent them from feeling soft. Detergent will lock in these chemicals and make the new sheets feel a little harsh. To avoid this problem, wash your new sheets with one cup (236 milliliters) of baking soda. Add one cup (236 milliliters) of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. After this first wash, you can use regular detergent. Feel free to sleep in your new sheets after the baking soda and vinegar wash. If you are washing your regular sheets (i.e., not new), follow the washing instructions provided on the care label of your sheets. The care label will offer specific washing instructions based on the material and brand. Avoid washing too many sheets together. If you try to wash too many sheets at once, they will not get as clean. Also, washing too much at once will strain the motor of your washing machine. Only sheets and pillow cases should be washed together. Other bed linen should be washed separately from sheets.  Avoid washing your sheets with towels. If you wash sheets with towels, you will end up with little lint balls all over your sheets. The friction from the towels will gradually wear down the sheets.  Avoid washing your sheets with items of a different color. If you wash your sheets with other clothing items of a different color, you may discolor your sheets. It is best to be conservative when measuring out the...

It is almost impossible to get a girl to like you when you're not in her homeroom. Try someone who is in your homeroom, to make things easier. It's always best to be friends first, and after you take it slow, then you can tell her you like her, or ask her out if both of you are allowed to date or not. Ask her where she lives and walk home with her. She will like the company. She will probably appreciate the fact that you would like to know her better. If her friends have a negative opinion of you, she might think it's true. It's best to get to know her friends as well. If she does not have friends, be her friend. She will grow to consider you a safe person to be around and will want to be friends with you.

It is also called calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide powder. This will give the body to your clay. You can choose either paraffin wax or beeswax. Paraffin wax emits toxic fumes when it is heated, so choosing beeswax will reduce the risk of bad reactions. Find coconut oil or linseed oil from a natural food store. These 2 oils contain 8 percent stearic acid, which will help the mixture to stay smooth. You will need to devote these to making clay, because the use of lime in the recipe will ensure they cannot be used for cooking again. Put on a long-sleeved shirt and gloves. Also, use a dust mask and safety goggles to avoid problems from lime fumes. Place them near the stove. Place a large pot on your stove and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil. Turn the burner down to medium heat.

It is always best to have reassurance that things are fine, or the proper series of investigations and tests as soon as possible if your doctor agrees that there is cause for concern.  Medical professionals are well-trained in how to evaluate and assess breast lumps, and in particular in how to rule out breast cancer.  If in doubt, do not hesitate to ask for doctors advice. Breast cancer is a realistic concern for many women (being the number one most frequent cancer diagnosis in women).  One in nine women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their life, so if in doubt get your breast lump checked out by a doctor sooner rather than later. Most breast lumps are benign (not worrisome), and many cancer diagnoses are completely treatable if caught sooner rather than later. Keep in mind, however, that breast cancer under the age of 20 is very rare, and it is very uncommon under the age of 30. Do this on an annual basis or as prescribed by your doctor. This is a low-dose X-ray examination used for locating breast tissue abnormalities.  Mammograms are the number one way in which breast cancers are caught and diagnosed.  It can be used as a screening test (routine test for any woman over the age of 40 to rule out breast cancer even without symptoms or lumps), and also as a diagnostic test (for women with a breast lump to gather further information to determine whether or not the lump is of concern). For a young patient with dense breast tissue, however, an MRI may be a better test than mammogram. People who receive a mammogram for diagnostic reasons (to determine whether or not their breast lump is worrisome) will likely also receive additional tests to add to the information your doctor has to work with, to determine whether or not she is concerned about your breast lump. Ultrasound provides a different viewpoint of the breast than mammography, and can help to differentiate between solid and cystic masses (cystic masses are generally fluid-filled and not of concern; in other words, not cancerous). An ultrasound can...

It is best for the queen cat’s milk supply to dry up gradually. If you take all her kittens away at once, her mammary glands may become painfully engorged. The lingering scent of her kittens can remind the mother cat that she needs to check on them, and she may appear to wander around the house looking for them. Once the kittens have gone to their new homes, it is best to remove anything marked with their scent and give the mother clean bedding. As their scent gradually fades from the environment so will her instinct to search and she will settle into her normal routine again. Nature programs the mother to make her kittens independent in order to survive, and as part of this process, she starts to distance herself from kittens in order to make them stand on their own paws. Re-homing the kittens just expedites that process. So long as her kittens are old enough when they leave (preferably 12-13 weeks) and their smells are removed, the queen cat will usually only show signs of anxiety for a day or two before returning to her normal routines.

It is best to start with paper that you have already written on, because normal writing implements do not always write easily on wax paper. You will also need wax that you can melt down, and some basic tools to treat the paper with wax.  Wax, or candles Parchment paper Scissors A sealable sandwich bag Hammer or mallet Iron and ironing board Cloth towel and paper towels If you are starting out with candles rather than just wax, you need to get the wick out. Use a hammer, knife, and/or other household implements to chip into the wax and extract the wick. It is ok, and even preferable, if you have to split the wax into a lot of small pieces, since you will eventually melt them. Having more small pieces creates more surface area, making the melting process faster. You don’t need a large amount of wax. Start with a tea light or votive, or that leftover half of a taper candle on the kitchen table. Put the wax in the plastic bag and seal it. Tap it gently with the hammer to break it into smaller pieces. Placing it in the bag will ensure that pieces of wax don’t go flying all over the room! Put the towel on the ironing board. Then, place the pieces of wax on one half of the parchment paper. Fold the paper once so that the wax is encased inside like a sandwich, and place it on the towel. Use the iron to melt the wax. Make sure you keep the iron moving. Just as with clothing, leaving it on one spot too long will burn or damage whatever is under it. Parchment paper is flame resistant, but not completely non-flammable. The wax should have enough surface area to cover your paper. If it doesn’t, add more wax, close the paper, and iron it again. Repeat this until you have enough wax. Place the paper you want to make flame resistant on the wax. Fold the parchment paper back again and iron for a few seconds. The heat will help the hot wax bond to the paper. Add more wax if necessary. You want the paper to be as smooth and flat as possible – unless you are adding texture for an arts and crafts project. Feel the wax to see if...

It is better to use fresh, frozen fruit for these recipes instead of ice. The ice will only dilute the smoothie, making it less flavorful. Using frozen fruit in your smoothie will result in a smoothie that is still thick and cold, but it won't make it watery. . Start off by laying the strawberries on their sides. Using a sharp knife, slice the tops off. Then, set them down on the sliced side. Cut them straight down, creating two half-cones. If the recipe calls for frozen strawberries, cut the strawberries the night before, scoop the slices into a plastic, re-sealable bag, and toss them into the freezer. Cut the banana into ½ to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters) thick slices. If the recipe calls for frozen bananas, cut the banana the night before, place the slices into a plastic, re-sealable bag, and toss them into the freezer. Using raw, oatmeal in your smoothie will not harm you, but cooked oatmeal will give your smoothie a more creamy texture. Cook it the night before so that it has time to cool down before you add it to the smoothie. You won't be pouring your milk in all at once. Instead, you will be pouring in half of your milk first, then adding the rest of your ingredients. The rest of the milk will go into the blender at the very end. This helps blend things more evenly in your smoothie. Strawberries and bananas are healthy enough themselves, but you can give your smoothie an additional boost by adding other ingredients, such as cacao powder, chia seeds, and wheat grass. Refer to the section in this article on customizing your smoothie with extra ingredients for more suggestions. If you do not have a blender, you can use a food processor instead.

It is common for the color and the texture of your milk to change. Much of this reflects the changing dietary needs of your baby. Appearance is no way to judge the freshness of milk .  It is common for the color of milk to change during the course of storage or even a single feeding. It is natural for the milk to occasionally have a bluish, greenish, yellowish, or even brownish color. It is also common for it to separate into layer of lighter milk and more dense cream. This is not dangerous, but you should gently swirl it to mix the two together. Expressed milk can often last much longer than this, but its shelf life varies considerably depending upon the details of its storage. After three days in the refrigerator, you should smell the milk carefully to verify that it is fresh.  Similarly, you should be careful if the milk has been out for three hours without being refrigerated.  It is okay to store milk at room temperature from three to six hours depending on how cool the room is. If you are storing milk in an insulated cooler, it is safe to leave it in the cooler for 24 hours. Sour breast milk has the same strong, distinctive smell that sour cow milk has. This is the one and only meaningful way to determine if milk is rancid. Some mothers will find that their milk will over time develop a soap like or metallic taste if stored. This taste is not a sign of spoilage and most babies do not mind it. If your baby does reject it, try scalding it before storing to halt the development of this smell.

Не беспокойтесь, если у молока странный цвет или текстура. Будьте осторожны, если молоку уже больше трех дней. Понюхайте молоко. Не беспокойтесь о металлическом или мыльном запахе.
