Arborvitae plants prefer moist, not dry or soggy, soil. Check your soil's dryness every day by sticking your finger in. If the soil feels dry, water the plant immediately.  In drier climates without rainfall, you may need to supply more water per week. Use the soil's dryness as a guide for when to water your plant. If your tree's needle tips are brown or yellowing and its foliage turns dull, it may not be getting enough water. Annually fertilizing your tree can give it nutrients it needs to thrive. Buy a nitrogen-rich fertilizer from a garden center or nursery and spray it over your plant in a thin, even coating. Fertilize your plant yearly to boost your plant's nutrient levels before the growing season. your tree during the summer and winter. Apply a 3 in (7.6 cm) layer of mulch around your tree's base twice a year, or more often as needed. This will cool your tree down during hot temperatures and insulate it in cooler seasons. Mulch also helps maintain a moist atmosphere around the Arborvitae tree, which imitates its naturally humid environment. Use pruning shears to cut away dead or dying branches, thin out overgrown areas, and shape your tree as desired. Avoid trimming more than 1/4 of the Arborvitae's foliage at a time to prevent it from going into shock after cutting it. Most Arborvitae trees need pruning about once a year to stay healthy.

Are you a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner? This means do you learn best through looking at the words yourself, through hearing them spoken to you, or through listening and seeing and associating actions or feelings with them.  If you've learned languages before, go back over how you learned them and see what worked for you and what didn't. In most classroom settings you will do a lot of writing, but less speaking. Speaking the language and immersing yourself in it is extremely important and a way to become more efficient at the language more quickly. In 90 days, you'll have learned about 80% of the language. The most common words make up the greatest percent of interactions, so start by memorizing the most common words.  Make sure that you keep practicing the words you've used previously, so you don't forget them as you memorize new words. The top ten most common French words are: être (to be, being), avoir (to have), je (I), de (of, from, by, than, in, with), ne (not), pas (not; step, pace), le (the; him, it (referring to a masculine singular noun)), la (the; her, it (referring to a feminine singular noun)), tu (you), vous (you, yourself).  Label everything in your house with the French word and make sure you say the words out loud whenever you read them. Make yourself flash cards and use them when you're on the bus, during commercials while you're watching t.v. or whenever you have a bit of downtime. Learn how the verbs work with nouns and with each other. Things that you learn in the beginning of French make more sense as you become more proficient in the language. Look at things like how the pronunciation works.  Grammar is incredibly important to learning a language. To speak it properly, you'll need to understand how verbs work, how present, past, and future tenses work, and how genders work with nouns. We say things forward in English e.x. The bathroom, whereas the french (and the rest of the world) say things backward, taking longer to say it e.x. the room of bath. Learn pronunciation. This is...

Are you blaming yourself for your dad’s angry outbursts, excessive drinking, neglect, or emotional instability? Many kids think their parents behave badly because of something they did wrong. If this sounds like you, stop blaming yourself. No matter what your dad or anyone else says, you’re not responsible for his behavior. Your father is an adult, so he's responsible for himself.  If you’re having trouble realizing that you’re not to blame, talk to another adult about what you’re feeling. It may also help to remind yourself by reciting an affirmation like, “Dad is responsible for himself. I am not to blame for his behavior.” Remember that your dad’s behavior does not have anything to do with you. His behavior may be the result of how he was raised, his own trauma, a mental illness, or other factors. That way, you'll be able to sidestep his influence and avoid developing these behavioral patterns later.  To minimize your chances of substance abuse, participate in extracurriculars at school. Involvement in such activities lowers your risk.  Try to identify the unhealthy behaviors you don't want to pick up from your father. Then, look for another role model who demonstrates the types of behaviors you do want. Similarly, if you are being neglected or abused, start working with a counselor to address these issues. Getting help can help you minimize your chances of demonstrating the same behavioral patterns with your own children. You can soften the influence your terrible father has on you by seeking out positive relationships with male role models. Form relationships with male leaders in your school, work, or community. These influences may counter some of the negative effects of having a bad father.  Participate in mentoring programs like Boys Club or Girls, Inc. You might also connect with positive male role models by reaching out to teachers, coaches, community leaders, or spiritual advisors. You might reach out by saying something like, "Coach Greg, I really look up to you. My own dad is hardly ever around....

Are you bothered by a lack of social skills? Do you struggle with superficial conversations, showing your feelings, experience frequent awkward pauses in conversations, or other practical problems? Perhaps you manage to come across sociable enough, but still wish you didn't always feel so uncomfortable and insecure. Also ask yourself how much you really want to change – not everyone is or can be a social butterfly. Don't waste efforts comparing yourself to others. Don't tell yourself that you should be like them. This is simply negative reinforcement, which will only make you feel like you are different, alone, and, in extreme cases, even inferior. Socially anxious individuals frequently have a stream of negative thoughts running through their heads. "I look awkward," "No one is talking to me," or "I am going to look like an idiot," are all thoughts that may run on a loop. As you can probably tell, these thoughts are all negative and will only serve to keep you feeling shy and self-conscious.  Aim to break the habit of negative thoughts by becoming aware of when you are falling prey to them and by challenging their logic. For example, just because you are nervous in a crowd or at a party does not mean you look awkward. Others around you may be getting a case of nerves, too. Reframing means not just taking a positive spin on your thoughts, but also a more realistic perspective. Many negative thoughts are rooted in irrational beliefs. Find evidence that disputes your negative thoughts and find another way of looking at the situation. This is one of the most important aspects of shyness and social anxiety. Most shy people don't do this on purpose, but often, attention is consistently drawn to yourself during conversations. This makes you self-aware and keeps a vicious cycle rotating. Research has shown this may play a key role in why people might experience panic attacks after relatively mild anxious moments.  Rather than noticing that you are being shy, or that you may have said something embarrassing, try to...

Are you going to Disney World? Spending a lot of time on the beach? Visiting relatives who will want to take you out to fancy restaurants? Adjust your packing needs accordingly. Pack more or less of all of the essentials depending on where you’re headed.   Are you going to the beach for several days? Double check that you have all your swimming essentials. Are you heading to Disney World? Be ready for lots of walking with comfortable shoes and breathable clothing. Are you seeing a show in the evenings? You may need something fancy. Are you spending a lot of time in business meetings? Be prepared with business wear and a jacket or sweater if you’ll be sitting in the A/C. Even though it’s the “Sunshine State,” the weather in Florida fluctuates a bit with the seasons. Your packing needs will vary greatly from month to month.  As a general guide:  The average high in Florida in February is in the high 60s, and the average low is in the low 40s. The average high in Florida in July is in the low 90s, and the average low is in the low 70s. Don’t forget to make note of the precipitation forecast as well. If you’re staying with friends or in a rental house, you may have access to a washer and dryer. If that’s the case, and if you are willing to repeat outfits, you may be able to dramatically cut down on the amount of clothes you’re bringing. Include tank tops, short sleeve shirts, shorts, and dresses.  Particularly if you’re going to be spending a lot time outside, choose fabrics that breathe well, such as cotton or linen.  Avoid polyester and rayon in the summer. Sunglasses and hats are a must, and you'll want lots of sunscreen.  If you were only able to pack a 3.4 oz container of sunscreen, be prepared to buy more when you get there. You may also want to consider some aloe or lotion in case you get burned. Summer in Florida is hot! Odds are good your hotel will have a pool, and if it doesn’t, Florida is a peninsula, so there are beaches everywhere. If you’re planning to spend any time in the water at all, pack all...

Are you going to be using the compressor to power machinery or to power pneumatic tools or to simply inflate a tire? You'll probably want a compressor with a tank if you plan on using tools that require high flow. You may want a portable compressor without a tank if you plan on merely using it for air brushing or filling a tire. Since there is no tank to store the compressed air the tankless type will run continuously, which usually isn't an issue since they are usually quite small and therefore make minimal noise.  In particular, consider pressure and volume requirements of any tools you may be using. Obviously, heavy-duty tools require much more pressure and, in turn, more volume. If you fail to choose a compressor that's large enough for your intended use, you will find yourself periodically waiting for the tank to fill up, thereby decreasing your work efficiency. If the portable air compressor is for airbrushing, for example, 5 liter (1.3 US gal) a small tank capacity and around 30 psi of sustained air pressure would be adequate. Essentially, there are two different kinds of air compressors: reciprocating and rotary screw. The most common type you'll likely see for sale somewhere is the reciprocating piston type. It has a cylinder with a piston that moves up and down and a one-way valve on top of the moving piston. Some air compressors utilize a dual piston setup for higher flow and/or pressure. The other type of air compressor is the rotary screw. These are designed for continuous use and are often used with tools that run for several seconds (or minutes) at a time, such as impact wrenches and jackhammers, and in industrial applications.  Piston compressors come in single-stage and two stage. Single-stage tops out at about 150 psi. Two-stage compressors use two pistons usually of different size to deliver around 200 psi. The larger piston compresses air to about 100 psi and the second piston compresses that air to near 200 psi. Be aware that a single stage compressor may have two pistons but it is still...

Are you going to focus on a single vampire among humans (or elves, dwarves, aliens, or whatever)? Or, do you want a whole cast of vampires? Each character will need to be developed fully, so start out with a few until you're more experienced with writing. Names like Dracula sound cool but are unrealistic (unless you want your story to branch off from the original). Why can't a vampire have a normal name like Liam? You can also do a portmanteau of names, like if you are stuck between Katherine and Madeline, you could name her Catherine. It also helps to decide how old your vampire is. Vampires may be  be immortal or they may not be - interpretations differ on the subject - which means they don't necessarily have to be born in the current time period. So, your vampire character could easily have grown up in Victorian times, or during the Great Depression. Therefore, it stands to reason that your vampire would have a name consistent with the time in which they were born. Can he change shape? Can he fly? It is up to you on the abilities of your vampire(s). Dracula and other historical vampires can float, go through locked doors, no reflection and can melt away into the shadows. Feel free to use these basics to help build your character.  Describe how the vampire feels about what he is doing. Is he proud? Is he ashamed or scared? How does your vampire feel about being like this? Does he/she try to hide it, or run free and kill those who find out? A general rule is that vampires are burnt by sunlight. However, it is possible to have a vampire not burnt by sunlight. Look at authors like Stephanie Meyer (Twilight series) and Christopher Pike (Last Vampire  Series). But, it's best to have some sort of reaction to sunlight. Or, you could let your vampires wear a special necklace or something that makes them have no effect by the sun. Most of the time, tradition requires that a vampire drink blood. While this is the most globally accepted idea about vampires, this too is up for negotiation when you're writing fiction....

Are you looking for a board to cruise on around town? To hit the skatepark with? Or are you looking to rip down big hills? Different sized longboards have different advantages and disadvantages. Shorter longboards are more agile (meaning you can turn more) but less stable (meaning it's easier to fall over). Longer boards are more stable but less agile. Beginners should stick with longer boards. You may not think it's the coolest way to longboard, but especially when you're practicing, it's a good idea to be padded up. If you're doing more extreme versions of longboarding, getting padded up is essential. For gear, be sure to get:  A good-fitting helmet Skateboarding shoes (flat bottomed) Elbow pads (optional) Knee pads (optional) Slide Gloves (depend on the board you have) Do you skate with your right foot forward? That's called riding "goofy." Do you skate with your left foot facing forward? That's called regular.  To find out whether you ride regular or goofy, have someone shove you from behind with no warning. Whichever foot you put out to catch yourself is the one you want to lead with on the skateboard. If it feels wrong, try switching to the other foot. Another way to find out is to slide on a smooth surface in socks or lay on the ground; whichever foot you use to get up with will be the foot you want to lead with on your longboard. Try to feel the smooth flow as it rolls over the concrete. The lower you keep your center of gravity, the better you will feel. Make sure you feel comfortable before moving on. Stand with your feet between the trucks (the bearings that hold the wheels), a little longer than shoulder-width apart. Angle your front foot slightly forward, at about a 45 degree angle. Have your back foot be pretty much sideways, perpendicular to the direction the board is traveling in. This is just one stance that you can use. After getting comfortable with your longboard for a little bit, you very well could find that other stances work better for you. Go with what feels comfortable. Get the hang...

Are you planning on trudging long distance through the snow on a regular basis, or are you going to use the snow boots rarely and for short periods of time? Decide how comfortable they need to be based on how they will be used.  If you are going to use these boots a lot you may want to invest more money in them. If you are only going to use them sporadically, maybe you can buy a less comfortable, and thus probably less expensive, pair. You want your feet to be warm enough while tromping through the snow, but not too warm. Take into consideration what temperature it will be when you wear the boots and how warm you like your feet to be.  There may be some boots that come with removable linings so that you can increase the insulation of the boots. Look for this option if it interests you. Sometimes you need less insulation because of how active you will be when wearing the boots. If you are going to be very active, for instance if you are going to be snow shoeing for hours on end, you need to take the amount of heat your body will produce into account when picking a level of insulation. Most people will want waterproof snow boots, so that their feet don't get wet. However, there are different levels of waterproofing. The most watertight boots tend to be less stylish than other boots that aren't designed to be used in very wet conditions.  However, there are plenty of boots available that are semi-waterproof and quite attractive. If the boots are only water-resistant, not waterproof, you should consider getting an extra liner to switch to if the first gets wet. If the boot dries quickly you can use another liner while the first one dries. The taller the boots, the more they can protect you from high snow. Taller boots will also give you more ankle support. On the other hand, a shorter boot will give you more flexibility of movement and the boots will be easier to put on and take off.  Fairly tall boots will ensure that your whole foot and ankle are protected from the snow. There are some tall-ankled boots that...

Are you reacting with anger, worry, offense, embarrassment, or disappointment? Why did this situation or comment provoke this in you? It’s difficult to neutralize powerful reactions in the moment, but the more mindful you are of your behavior the better equipped you will be to alter it as necessary moving forward. Say, for example, that you spoke up with an opinion of yours at a get-together, only for it to be contradicted by an acquaintance. You feel flushed and overwhelmed: is it because you're embarrassed to be wrong, or angry for your acquaintance's choice of words? Perhaps it's something else entirely, but taking time to determine exactly why you felt overwhelmed is an important first step to beating that feeling in the future. If you're repeatedly having your feelings hurt by a certain person or situation, there's a reason. Someone isn't always at fault, and someone isn't always in the wrong, but there's always a reason, as simple as that may sound. Determine the reason and what role you honestly play in it. If your role is that you've experienced emotional trauma in your past related to those issues, consider counseling if your coping methods have proved ineffective so far for you. Meaning: make sure you’re doing this because you feel it would be best for you, your well-being, and your coping skills, and not because someone else told you it was something you lacked or needed. There are many in the world who may call you oversensitive when you’re having an entirely understandable reaction to negative stimuli, or that you’re eager to be offended or hurt. No one can tell you with any authority the way that you should feel about something.  There is no correct answer here. It could be a deeply distressing situation concerning something monumentally important to you, or something you recognize as insignificant outside of the moment. It's okay to be flawed. Many feel a pressure to present as perfect, leading them to harmfully internalize the slightest criticism. Feeling the need to be present perfectly can...

Areas of an outdoor garden that receive at least six full hours of direct sunlight are considered "full sun," while areas that receive three to six hours of direct sun are labeled as "partial sun." Eastern and southern areas of the garden that receive the sunlight in the morning and early afternoon are most preferable. Loose soil promotes better drainage and makes it easier for the roots to spread. Compost provides the plant with nutrients and sand allows the soil to drain more effectively. Manure and perlite can be used as substitutes for the two additives, respectively. Dig these elements into the top 1/2 to full foot (15 to 30 centimeters) of soil. For instance, if you grew your seedling in a 4-inch (10-centimeter) plastic seedling tray, then you should dig a 4-inch (10-centimeter) hole. The soil should stay intact around the roots. Cover it with soil and gently pat the soil around the stem to hole it in place. Soak the soil with water from a hose or watering can until the surface of the soil is visibly damp. The pole should be inserted into the ground about 1 foot (30 centimeters) behind the jasmine to avoid interfering with its roots. As it grows, you will need to train it to climb this support.

Arguments can chip away at a relationship over time. Whenever you can, avoid them at any cost. If something is trivial, it is not worth hurting the other person’s feelings or your relationship with them. Choosing your battles wisely will show a great deal of appreciation for the person.  For example, if someone says to you something like, “Your hair is a mess today,” then it probably isn’t worth addressing. If, however, someone stole money from you, you probably need to have a constructive conversation about boundaries. If you do have an argument, apologize. This will show that you accept some of the blame for the disagreement and appreciate the other person enough to admit that. This can go a long way in showing your appreciation for them. Surprising the other person will show that you have thought about them. It also shows that you know them well enough to surprise them with something that they enjoy. An unexpected gift, meal, or trip can show someone that you really appreciate them.  For example, stopping by with takeout from a favorite restaurant or cooking a friend’s favorite meal will show them that you appreciate them. People will also feel appreciated if you pick them up a small gift while you are travelling. It shows that you were thinking of them. When someone you care about needs you, it is important to make time for them. Sometimes you may need to drop what you are doing immediately, and other times you can commit to grabbing lunch later in the week. You should always keep your commitments to the people you appreciate, or they will begin to feel like they are not important to you. For example, if a friend needs your help moving over the weekend, you should try to clear your schedule and help them out. When you spend time with someone you are close to, give them your full attention. Avoid distractions like cell phones or televisions and engage in conversation. Actively listen to the other person and show a genuine interest in what they are saying.  For example, if you have lunch with your parents,...

Arrange the cabbage so that it is in even layers inside the dish.  If steaming shredded cabbage, make sure that the cabbage is evenly distributed throughout the bottom of the dish. It does not need to be in a single flat layer, but the layers of cabbage should be even to promote even cooking.     Note that shredded cabbage is not recommended for microwave steaming since the bottom layer will ultimately be boiled instead of steamed.     If steaming quarters or halves, arrange the pieces so that they are touching and facing stem-side down. Do not stack or layer the wedges.    The water level at the bottom of the dish should be kept very low.  If cooking shredded cabbage, use roughly 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water for every 2 cups (500 ml) of shredded cabbage. The increased water may half-boil and half-steam, but if you do not increase the amount of water, the cabbage is not likely to cook evenly. For a boost of flavor, you could use broth instead of water. Vegetable broth is the best option, but a mild chicken broth can work just as well. If the dish has a microwave-safe lid, use that. If not, use microwavable plastic wrap.  Do not cover tightly. If the dish has a lid you can use, place the lid on slightly askew to prevent too much pressure from building up or open any vent valves. Do not pierce the plastic wrap. Instead, simply drape the plastic wrap over so that it clings to the top of the dish but not around the sides. If you do not have a lid or plastic wrap, you could cover the dish by placing an upside-down microwave-safe plate over the top of it. The exact amount of time will vary based on the wattage of your microwave, how large the pieces of cabbage are, and what type of cabbage you are using.  For wedges, microwave on high for 5 to 6 minutes. If steaming bok choy, however, drop this amount of time to 4 to 5 minutes. For shredded cabbage, microwave on high for 5 minutes. Pause at the halfway mark, quickly stir it with a fork or spoon, and continue cooking. Let the cabbage drain in a colander or on clean...

Arrogance in captions comes when the person writing the caption doesn’t care about the reader, and simply writes a caption that is easy at the moment of writing. This can also be consider being selfish because the writer cares more about themselves than the reader who is trying to decipher what the photo and story are about. This can also happen when a writer is trying to be ‘fancy’ and try something new or clever. There is no need to get complicated. Keep things simple, clear, and accurate. You know what they say about people who assume … ! The same goes for writing captions. These assumptions could be on the part of the journalist, photographer, or even someone else at the publication where everything is being put together. Don’t make assumptions about what was going on in the photo, or who the people are. Find out the truth and only include what’s accurate. This also goes for style and format. If you aren’t sure if the publication has a specific format for captions, ask. Don’t use a format you like that may need to be completely revised later because you didn’t ask. Sloppiness happens when someone just doesn’t care, or doesn’t consider the situation important enough to double-check. The result of sloppiness can be incorrect spelling, the wrong names for people in the photo, captions that don’t match the photos, referring to a photo in the story incorrectly, etc. If you’re proud of your work, do a good job from start to finish. This can also happen when someone tries to use another language in the caption, but doesn’t check if it has been written properly. Google Translate is not the same as double-checking if the language is correct! As a journalist, whatever you print either in your story or caption is usually considered fact by your readers. They rightfully assume you’ve done your fact-checking and that what you’re telling them is accurate. If you were too lazy or sloppy to do the job, you risk passing along incorrect information to a large number of people. Also remember that once information gets “out...

As a general rule, you can harvest greens as soon as they are large enough to pick. Generally, this is when the green reach a height between 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm).  As long as the growing points or nodes are not removed, the greens should regrow after harvesting them. If you want to harvest leaves and roots from the same plant, only remove two or three leaves per plant. If you remove all of the leaves, the root will die. You should be able to harvest mature, ripe turnips after five to ten weeks. "Early" varieties only require five weeks, while main crop varieties need six to ten.  You can harvest small turnips simply by hand pulling them. To harvest large turnip roots, use a spading fork to loosen the soil around the root before pulling it out. You can harvest turnips at virtually any size. Small turnips are tender and tend to be somewhat sweeter than large turnips, though, so most prefer to harvest turnips when the roots are between 1 and 3 inches (2.5 and 7.5 cm) in diameter). You can check the root size by lightly brushing away soil on top of one plant to reveal the root below. If that one plant appears ready for harvest, most of the others will likely be ready, as well. Make sure that all of your turnips are harvested before the first frost. Do not allow them to grow too large, since overripe turnips have a woody taste and texture. When packed and stored in a cool place, harvested turnips will usually last for three to four months. Consider keeping them in a basement, root cellar, or shed and covering them with straw.  Twist off the tops, leaving 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of stem before storing the turnips. Do not rinse off any soil since it can actually help protect the roots wile they remain in storage. You might be able to leave your fall crop in the ground until early winter by covering them with a thick mulch, but pull them out before the soil freezes and hardens. Turnips can also be stored in the refrigerator.

Соберите урожай зелени на ранних стадиях. Вытяните корни репы, как только они созреют. Храните в прохладном месте.


As a general strategy, release the gas when the car is sliding towards the outside, and pull the e-brake when it slides towards the inside.  Pulling the e-brake will cause the car to slide further towards the outside of the track, which also helps the car spin more.     Your speed affects the points you gain exponentially.     Using NOS will make the car tend to go straight. Flooring the gas will cause the car to slide and the car spins at a normal rate. Releasing the gas will cause the car to go to the inside more, and spins at a higher rate. Do not be afraid to hit the walls when ending your combos. You will still get half of the points and the multiplier, so it is always better to hit the sides trying to go fast than drifting like a turtle for the entire course.

As a newcomer to the Portuguese language, you'll probably find yourself struggling to communicate from time to time. Don't worry — no one learns a new language overnight. Use these handy phrases to explain your situation:   I don't speak Portuguese - Não falo Português - (Nah-oom fah-looh poor-too-gess) I speak English: Falo Inglês (Fah-looh inn-glesh) Do you speak English?: Fala inglês? (Fah-lah inn-gless) — formal Do you speak English?: Você fala inglês? (Voh-say fah-lah inn-gless) — informal I don't understand: Não percebo (Nah-oo pehr-say-boo) Could you repeat that?: Pode repetir? (Poh-day reh-peh-teer) Learning how to be polite in Portuguese is very important — you certainly don't want to tarnish your native country's reputation by accidentally being rude. Use these words and sayings to make sure you stay in the good graces of the people you talk to:  Please: Por favor (Pooh-r fah-voh-r) Thank you: Obrigado/a (Oh-bree-gah-dooh/dah) — use the male form if you are male and the female form if you are female. Obrigado is the male form, and obrigada the female form.  You're welcome: De nada (Dee nah-dah) — informal You're welcome: Não tem de quê (Nah-oomm tah-eehm the queh) — formal I'm sorry: Desculpe (Desh-cool-pee) ) Knowing how to ask a few basic questions about the Portuguese-speakers you meet will go a long way towards making you new friends. Use these questions and responses to have a very basic conversation:   What is your name?: Como o/a senhor/a se chama? (coh-moh sen-your/-ah se shahm-ah)— formal. Note that, in this case, the male form of senhor has no "o" ending. What's your name?: Qual é o seu nome? (Coh eh-oh seh-oh no-mee) — informal My name is...: Me chamo [your name] (Mee sham-oh) Where are you from?: De onde o/a senhor/a é? (Djee own-djah oh/ah sen-your/ah eh) Where are you from?: De onde você é? (Djee own-djah voh-say eh)— informal I'm from...: Eu sou de [your hometown] (Ee-oh so-oo djee) What's happening / what's going on?: O que aconteceu? (Oo key ah-cone-teh-see-oo) Not every adventure...

As a woman, you may have been taught to keep quiet, be polite and be accommodating. This may often lead to many missed opportunities, misunderstandings, and pent up anger and anxieties that lead to depression. Being a goddess means standing firm in what you believe and living authentically.  Do what you want to do. Don’t feel guilty or obligated to do things you don’t want to do. These things may take time away from what is important to you or may go against your own values. Have presence or an energy that tells others you are giving all your heart and mind into every situation. This will earn you respect and power without demanding it through forceful or obnoxious ways. Bring people together and towards a higher good. Show them you care and lead by example. A goddess should have everyone’s best interests at heart.  Having charisma helps to better inspire others to devote to you or follow you. Be approachable and friendly by having a smile for everyone and showing you care, especially when no one else will. Give even when someone doesn’t deserve it. This shows compassion and will inspire others to do better. Be understanding and approach misunderstandings with positivity and objectivity. Give opportunities and resources to others when they need it. Sometimes this might mean surrendering to the things you have no control over and trusting that the best outcome will unfold for you in some way or another.  Be grateful for what you already have in life. Don’t take things for granted. Live everyday as a gift. Take chances and explore new opportunities. Have a positive outlook and faith in your self-worth and abilities to accomplish your goals and dreams.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отстаивайте свою женскую силу. Будьте лидером, вдохновляя других. Доверяйте своей внутренней богине.


As above, disconnect all power supplies from the CD player and make sure any electrical charge has been removed. Turn the car and CD player off and disconnect the battery's negative terminal.  Note: If done improperly, this method may scratch or otherwise damage your CD and/or CD player. As always, use caution, and, if you're ever in doubt, contact an auto repair expert. For this method, you want a card that's thin but sturdy. Use an expired credit card or a similar object - preferably, one that's not important, in case you lose it or it breaks. Stick double-sided scotch tape on one side of the card, near the edge of one of the two narrow ends. Alternatively, you can use single-sided tape, sticking the tape to the card, putting a twist in it, then wrapping it around the card several times. This method, though similar to the putty knife method above, differs in that it uses a screwdriver to assist with sticking the card to the CD. You'll want a fairly short, thin flat head screwdriver. Use a screwdriver that's as thin as possible, as you'll need to partially insert it into the CD slot. You may need to use the screwdriver to guide the card, ensuring it goes in above the CD and does not stick to the CD until after you get 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch (1.3 to 1.9 cm) of the card in. Use the screwdriver to gently press down on the card.  This should cause the tape on the bottom side of the card to stick to the top side of the stuck CD. With luck, the CD should come with the card. If not, try repeating the previous steps.

TL;DR in Russian:

Соблюдайте меры предосторожности работы с электричеством. Возьмите жесткую пластиковую карту, такую как водительские права или кредитку. Возьмите тонкую плоскую отвертку. Просуньте карточку в проем НАД застрявшим диском (липкой стороной вниз). Поверх карты просуньте отвертку, аккуратно нажмите ею на карту. Уберите отвертку и медленно потяните карту наружу.


As aforementioned, it is important to start the growth of your peach tree in the right direction by pruning at planting. If you plant in the fall, wait a few months till the next spring to prune. You don’t want the branches to start much higher on the trunk, because as the tree matures it will grow too tall.  The tallest branch should be about 30 inches (76.2 cm) from the ground total. Trim branches that are too long to meet this number. All branches should ideally grow at a 45 degree angle. If there are none near this measurement on your tree, prune all branches to a single bud and wait for more growth. Scaffold limbs are the largest branches on the tree, beginning at the trunk. To begin, choose 2-3 scaffold limbs, but this number may grow to 4-6 over time.  Scaffold limbs should form a radial pattern from the trunk, each facing away in a different direction. Scaffold limbs will house the lateral (smaller outward growing) branches as the tree matures. You want to cut the branches near the trunk, offering only a small collar of growth to prevent decay in the branches.  Make thinning cuts, or cuts that start at the origin of the branch, on trees younger than one year old. Heading cuts are used to remove parts of branches, rather than the entirety of the branch. Avoid doing this in a young tree though, to prevent unwanted suckers and water shoot growth near the top of the tree.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обрежьте дерево при посадке. Обрежьте дерево так, чтобы самая нижняя ветка находилась примерно в 40 сантиметрах от земли. Летом выберите скелетные ветви. Обрезайте ветки ближе к стволу.


As always, the slide rule only has values from 1 to 10, so you'll need to write the number in scientific notation before you can find its square root.  Example 3: to solve √(390), write it as √(3.9 x 102). Example 4: to solve √(7100), write it as √(7.1 x 103). To find the square root of a number, the first step is sliding the cursor to that number on the A scale. However, since the A scale is printed twice, you'll have to decide which one to use first. To do so, follow these rules:  If the exponent in your scientific notation is even (such as 2 in Example 3), use the left side of the A scale (the "first decade"). If the exponent in your scientific notation is odd, (such as 3 in Example 4), use the right side of the A scale (the "second decade"). Ignoring the exponent of ten for now, slide the metal cursor along the A scale to the number you've ended up with.  Example 3: To find √(3.9 x 102), slide the cursor to 3.9 on the left A scale. (Use the left scale because the exponent is even, as described above.) Example 4: To find √(7.1 x 103), slide the cursor to 7.1 on the right A scale. (Use the right scale because the exponent is odd.) Read the D value where the cursor is pointing. Add "x10n" to this value. To calculate n, take the original power of 10, round down to the nearest even number, and divide by 2.  Example 3: The corresponding D value at A=3.9 is about 1.975. The original number in scientific notation had 102. 2 is already even, so just divide by 2 to get 1. The final answer is 1.975 x 101 = 19.75. Example 4: The corresponding D value at A=7.1 is about 8.45. The original number in scientific notation had 103, so round the 3 down to the nearest even number, 2, then divide by 2 to get 1. The final answer is 8.45 x 101 = 84.5. The process for finding cube roots is very similar. The most important step is determining which of the three K scales to use. To do this, divide the number of digits in your number by three and find the remainder. If the remainder is 1, use the first scale. If 2, use the second...

TL;DR in Russian:

Запишите число в экспоненциальном представлении для извлечения квадратного корня. Определите, какую сторону шкалы A необходимо использовать. Переместите указатель по шкале A. Находим ответ по шкале D. Аналогичным способом извлекайте кубические корни по шкале K.


As discussed above, feisty people are strong-willed and opinionated, but they're not blowhards. In fact, feisty people are usually a joy to be around because they simply love to have a great time! If you're looking to become feistier, start with your sense of mischief. Feisty people are constantly looking for a chance to get the better of others in good-natured, fun ways. Pranks and practical jokes are your bread and butter here, though you can also give the impression of being mischievous just by saying mischievous things. For starters, try any of the following:  Purposely interpreting the things your friends say in the worst way possible (e.g., with jokes like "that's what she said" and so on). Leaving goofy messages on someone's computer after s/he leaves the room. Impersonating a telemarketer when a parent answers your call. Telling the people you meet at a party a name that isn't actually yours. More elaborate practical jokes a la those in How to Pull Harmless Pranks. Though feisty people enjoy the occasional argument, at their hearts, they're good-natured, happy people. Achieving this type of happy satisfaction is easiest if you have a strong sense of humor. If you're naturally somewhat serious or grim, this can be tricky, but it's not impossible. Memorizing a few canned jokes or funny stories can be good icebreakers, giving you an "in" to conversations so that you can let your guard down and begin enjoying yourself.  Try to stay relaxed and open-minded during social encounters. Empathize with other people — realize that the vast majority are just like you. Most of all, practice by having light-hearted conversations with your friends and with people you've just met. A sense of humor is like a muscle: you have to use it to for it to become strong. It's hard to have a good sense of humor if you're stressed, tired, or distracted. This means that, to be as feisty as possible, you'll need to have a strong hold on other aspects of your life, like your career and family responsibilities. Ironically, the best...

Развивайте чувство озорства. Замечайте юмор в жизни. Дразните! Флиртуйте! Будьте саркастичны! Рассматривайте общение как возможность весело провести время.


As if a breakup weren’t hard enough, Capricorns have been known to be jealous and angry when it comes to matters of love and broken hearts. This is largely because Capricorns can have a very strong instinct for self-preservation, and that means being defensive and unforgiving when they're hurt.  Despite having spent weeks, months, or even years with this person, be ready to see a side of his or her personality that you’ve never seen before. For example, be ready for accusations, jealousy, and having all the blame leveled at you. Even if your ex is acting jealous or irrational after the breakup, take the moral high ground and ignore the behavior rather than responding in kind. Just as you wouldn’t appreciate your ex gossiping, lying, or spilling secrets about you, so too should you be respectful of the other person’s feelings and privacy. Once you’ve made up your mind, don’t let the other person—or anyone else—change it. Capricorns can be stubborn and set in their ways, so if your ex thinks you two should still be together, it’s possible that he or she may try to convince you of the same.  Once Capricorns commit to a person, their natural loyalty leads them to preserve that relationship, and they have a hard time letting go.  To help keep your mind off the breakup and to remind yourself how great life can be without the other person, try reconnecting with old friends, rekindling your love of old hobbies, and taking time to care for yourself. You can listen and be considerate of the other person’s feelings, but you can't take responsibility for him or her. In the end, it’s up to him or her to get through the breakup alone and with other friends and family. You can encourage this by:  Suggesting that he or she take some time away to think and process what's happened. Recommending that he or she spend more time with other loved ones. Reassuring the other person that life will go on and that you'll both be better off for the change. Reminding your ex that while the breakup is painful, the hurt will become easier...

TL;DR in Russian:

As it soaks, you may notice that it starts to thicken. Don't worry if it looks too runny at this point. Do not step away from the microwave. Keep a close eye on the slime. When it starts to bubble over, pause the microwave, and let the slime "deflate". When the slime is level again, start the microwave up again, and let it finish heating. You may have to pause the microwave more than once. When you take the bowl out of the microwave, you will be left with an icky, gooey, and somewhat-chunky slime. It is a little too hot to play with, however, so tuck it into the fridge to cool off. This may take a couple of minutes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте смеси отстояться 5 минут. Выпекайте лизун в микроволновой печи в течение 5 минут. Охладите лизуна в холодильнике.


As listed above, you should only clean mushrooms with a brush or a dry towel. Don’t use water, as water logging the mushrooms may cause outside mold or fungi to grow. Cut the mushrooms into slices 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Try this method for preserving mushrooms only on sunny days with very low humidity. If there is too much humidity in the air, it will take much longer for the mushrooms to dry and mold may begin to grow. Possibilities include sunny rooms, windowsills, or flat rooftops that have air circulation. Pick a spot where birds, animals, bugs, and moisture can't touch the mushrooms. There are two options for this. You can either lay the mushrooms on a drying rack, or you can string them up with cooking string.  On a drying rack: Lay the mushrooms flat in one layer. Make sure that none of them are overlapping as they might get stuck together while drying, or may warp into weird shapes. Cover the mushrooms and drying rack in a ‘net tent’ which you can get at most kitchen supply stores. The net tent will keep the bugs away. If you don’t have a net tent, you can simply use a piece of mesh fabric draped over and under the dry rack and mushrooms.     With cooking string: Lace the cooking string through the mushrooms. You can use a sterilized needle to do this. Simply run the needle through a flame to sterilize it. Then string the mushrooms along the string as if you were making a bead necklace.    If you are using the cooking string method, hang them somewhere dry and in the sun. Allow the mushrooms to dry in the sun for one or two days. Check their progress several times each day. Consider finishing the mushrooms in the oven if they aren't totally dry after approximately two days in the sun. Read Method One of this article to learn how to do this.

As long as you are otherwise healthy, and your doctor doesn’t have any objections, you should exercise regularly while you’re pregnant.  Women should try to perform at least 150 minutes of moderate-level activities every week.  One of the best types of exercises to perform while pregnant is walking.  Try to schedule yourself for a brisk walk for 30 minutes every day if possible. If you performed activities such as running or other intensive physical activities before you were pregnant, you can continue to do these activities while you’re pregnant.  Throughout your pregnancy you should consult with your doctor as to when and how to reduce such activity if required. 150 minutes is equal to 2 hours and 30 minutes.  At 30 minutes per day, you would only need to perform activities for 5 out of the 7 days of the week.  You can even perform activities for as little as 10 minutes at a time if that works for you. If you’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, one of the best things you can do is change your diet to be as healthy as possible.  If possible, enlist the help of a dietician to help you plan your meals and select the types of foods you should eat regularly (and which ones to avoid).  The following foods should be part of a balanced diet while you’re pregnant:   Whole grains. Breads, cereals, pastas and brown rice.  Fruits. Any type of fresh, frozen or canned fruits are great.  If you choose canned fruits, look for ones without any added sugar.  Vegetables. Any type of fresh, frozen or canned vegetables in a variety of colors are best.  If you choose canned vegetables, look for ones without any added salt.  It is also a good idea to avoid raw sprouts.  Lean protein. Meats, poultry, fish, eggs, beans and peas, peanut butter, soy products and nuts. You should avoid eating tilefish, shark, swordfish and king mackerel.  You should limit the amount of tuna you eat to 6 ounces per week.  It is recommended that you reheat deli meats or hot dogs before you eat them.  Low-fat or fat-free dairy. Milk, cheese and...

As many as 90 percent of migraine sufferers come from families that have a history of attacks. If one or both of your parents suffers from migraines, there is a chance you will as well. The prodrome is the first step to getting a migraine, and can let you know one is coming. You may notice subtle changes in your health or mood one to two days before your headache that signal an oncoming migraine. About 60 percent of migraine sufferers will see certain symptoms before their headache. Some of the symptoms for prodrome can include:  Constipation Depression Food cravings Hyperactivity Irritability Neck stiffness Uncontrollable yawning Anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes before an attack, you might begin to hallucinate certain symptoms. This is called an aura, and could mean that a migraine is coming. Only about one in five migraine sufferers experience an aura, and women far less so than men. If your aura symptoms last more than an hour, that could be a sign of bleeding in the brain — a stroke. If that is the case, you should see a doctor immediately. Symptoms of an aura can include:  Flashing lights, bright spots, or blind spots in your vision Numbness or tingling in your face or hands Aphasia, which is speech or language problems By recording information about your headaches, you may be able to notice patterns to your suffering. This information can help you and your doctor figure out what is triggering your migraines, and how to stop them.  Your diary should include information about when you had the headache, how long it lasted, what kind of pain you felt, any other symptoms you noticed, and any treatments you tried. This information can help you and your doctor discover triggers and figure out the most effective treatments. This can also to help you identify the migraine early, which is beneficial because response to treatment is more effective during the prodrome or aura. Make sure to keep the diary after visiting your doctor and starting treatment. Not every treatment will work on you, so you'll want to make...

As most people know, bananas are very rich in potassium. In fact, one banana contains 594 mg of potassium. However, there are other fruits that can help you restore your levels of potassium. These fruits include: Tomatoes (one small tomato can contain 900 mg of potassium), oranges, cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwis and the dried versions of apricots, peaches, prunes, and raisins. Fruits are not the only great source of potassium. Vegetables can also give your potassium levels a boost. Veggies that will kick start your potassium intake include: Carrots (one cup of raw carrots contains 689 mg of potassium), potatoes, spinach and other dark, leafy greens, mushrooms, and acorn squash. Salmon is one of the best proteins to eat when trying to restore your potassium levels. Three ounces of this fish generally contains about 319 mg of potassium. Lean beef and white beans are also excellent sources of both potassium and protein. While eating all of these potassium-rich foods separately is great, making a meal out of them is even better. Try composing your meals so that they are as high in potassium as possible. Some meal ideas include:  Yogurt (which is also potassium-rich) with bananas and raisins. Cooked salmon with sauteed mushrooms and a spinach salad. A snack of dried apricots and raw carrots.

As much as your parents may want you to conform to the ideal child, you should still be yourself at all times, and be true to who you are.  Also, if you're desperately trying to fit in with a certain group of people, make sure that you don't pretend to be something that you're not.   Be willing to be your own individual without be ashamed of any quirks and unique interests. Be a leader instead of follower. Don't ignore your conscience or your instinct, even if it goes against what's popular or the norm. If you feel different from everybody else, don't be afraid to embrace it and express it. Even when your parents and peers are not exactly praising you or celebrating your accomplishments, be proud of yourself.  Give yourself a pat on the back when you achieve a personal goal. Ignore negativity and discouraging words that minimize who you are and what you've accomplished. Reward yourself by treating yourself to something special when you overcome an obstacle. Maybe you don't consider yourself talented or athletic, but try out for the drama team or a sport to see if you have what it takes.  Most of things simply require practice.   Write down the things that you want to do and achieve, then post it on your mirror or bedroom door. Try.  Read the poem “It's Better To Try And Fail Than Never To Try At All.” Realize that your parents may have unrealistic expectations and will never be satisfied when it comes to you.  In fact, you may already be working hard to please your parents, only to find out that you can't please them no matter what you do.  Just remember that all you can do is your best.  Decide which expectations you can meet and which ones you can't.  Avoid harboring feelings of guilt or shame when you fell to meet an expectation.  Always forgive yourself. Always know that you're good enough.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оставайтесь самим собой. Гордитесь собой и своими достижениями. Будьте готовы рисковать. Старайтесь.


As noted above, archived content isn't gone for good - you can get it back with just a few quick taps. To unarchive books, start by going to your Nook library. This is the same as the very first step you took to archive the content in the first place. When you've accessed the library, tap the "My Shelves" button. This will display a list of your "shelves" — that is, different categories of Nook content on your device. Scroll through the list until you find the "Archived" shelf. Tap this to continue. In the Archived shelf, you'll find a list that contains all the books you currently have archived. Scroll through the list and find the title you'd like to unarchive. Tap on it and hold down — a menu with a list of options should appear. Tapping the "Unarchive" option from this drop down menu takes the book out of archive status and returns it to your device. You'll be able to read it once again, but it will also take up storage space on your device.  To find your unarchived book, look for it in the Nook library.  Note that if your device has insufficient space, you may not be able to unarchive all of your books until you free up more space.

TL;DR in Russian:

Войдите в библиотеку. Зайдите в раздел "Archived" ("Архив"). Найдите книгу, которую вы хотите разархивировать. Выберите в меню опцию "Unarchive" ("Разархивировать").


As noted above, coffee that's brewed in a percolator can tend towards being somewhat strong, bitter, and "muddy". This is because, unlike many other brewing methods, percolating involves continuously recirculating water through the coffee grounds, rather than simply allowing it to drain through once. However, with a few simple tricks, it's possible to make coffee in a percolator that's not over-strong. For instance, starting with a coffee roast that's classified as being light, smooth, low-caffeine, and minimally acidic can help reduce the bitterness of percolated coffee. Though percolating will usually make your coffee stronger than it would otherwise be, starting with "mild" ingredients helps minimize this effect. If you're looking for weaker coffee, try buying a roast labelled "mild" or "smooth" from your favorite coffee brand (like Folgers, etc.) or opt for a "dark" roast — though these can be bitter, they have lower caffeine content and acidity than light roasts. If you have the money to spend, you might also want to try a mild specialty roast, like Oromo Yirgacheffe Ground Fair trade Coffee. Also, don't forget that you also always have the option to brew decaf! When it comes to coffee grounds, in general, the finer the beans are ground, the more quickly they'll transfer their flavor to the water and the stronger coffee they'll produce. Because of this, when you use a percolator to make coffee, you'll usually want to use a coarse grind. Coarse-ground beans will interact with the water less quickly, resulting in a final pot that's not quite as strong as it would otherwise be. If you have your own coffee grinder, try using its "coarse" setting. Otherwise, if you buy your coffee pre-ground, look for a "coarse" label on the packaging. When percolating, temperature is key — too cold and the water won't travel up the central tube, but too hot and you risk having an over-done cup of coffee that unappealingly strong. For optimal brewing, you'll usually want to keep your water between 195 - 200o F for the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите вкусный, низкокислотный кофе. Используйте кофе грубого помола. Сохраняйте температуру воды около 90,6 – 93,3 °С. Оставьте кофе, чтобы осела муть после заварки. Не процеживайте кофе долго.


As noted above, necrosis is a type of tissue death due to lack of blood supply and oxygen. An injured toe, particularly a dislocation or fracture, may already involve damaged blood vessels, so you have to be extra careful when buddy taping not to cut off circulation to the toes. If you accidentally do, then the toes will likely start to throb with achy pain and turn dark red, then dark blue. Most tissue can survive without oxygen for a couple hours (at most), but it's imperative to carefully observe your toes within a 1/2 hour or so of taping to make sure they are getting enough blood.  People with diabetes have much less feeling in their toes and feet, and tend to have poor circulation, which is why they should avoid buddy taping toe injuries. If necrosis does occur in the toes, then amputation surgery is needed to remove them so infection doesn't spread to the rest of the foot or leg. If you experienced an open compound fracture, your doctor may recommend a precautionary two-week course of oral antibiotics to deter a bacterial infection. Although most injuries respond well to taping, some are beyond its scope. When toes are crushed and completely shattered (referred to as a comminuted fracture) or fractured such that the bones radically misalign and stick out through the skin (called an open compound fracture), then no amount of taping is helpful. Instead, you need to get to an emergency department immediately for medical attention and likely a surgical procedure.  Common symptoms of a broken toe include: intense sharp pain, swelling, stiffness, and usually immediate bruising due to internal bleeding. Walking is difficult, and running or jumping is nearly impossible without excruciating pain. Broken toes can be related to conditions that weaken bone, such as bone cancer, bone infections, osteoporosis or chronic diabetes. Once your toe is injured, it's even more susceptible to other damage and problems. As such, wear comfortable and protective shoes while taping your toes (anywhere from two to 6 weeks)....

TL;DR in Russian:

Присматривайтесь к признакам некроза. Не перебинтовывайте палец при серьезном переломе. Защитите пальцы ног от дальнейших повреждений.

As pain, inflammation, stiffness and/or damage progresses within joints, you eventually begin to lose the ability to move them normally. As such, reduced range of motion (limited movement) is a common sign of advanced arthritis and one of the main causes of disability. You may not be able to bend down as far or be as flexible as you once were.  Reduced range of motion is slow and gradual with OA, as the cartilage wears down and the bones come into contact with each other and as you form bone spurs or osteophytes. With RA and PsA, range of movement often depends on the degree of joint swelling, which can come and go. However, with time, RA and PsA are destructive to cartilage and severely limit joint movement. Septic arthritis is caused by an infection in the joint and is characterized by sudden, severe pain and difficulty using the affected joint. This type of infection can destroy a joint quickly — within weeks. Associated with progressive pain and reduced range of motion within joints is weakness. The weakness may be due more to trying to avoid pain or it may be due more to destruction of the joint's integrity. Furthermore, lack of exercise (common with arthritis sufferers) leads to loss of muscle tissue, which leads to loss of strength. You may notice you can't lift as much or walk as far as you once could. Your grip strength and hand shake may not be as firm.  Muscle atrophy (shrinking and loss of strength) is common in muscles that surround arthritic joints. Weak muscles and joints feel unstable and usually shake or twitch a little when put under heavy loads. Associated with progressive weakness is loss of agility, dexterity and coordination. If you have arthritis in your hands, you may feel clumsy and drop things often. Joint deformity or disfigurement eventually occurs with all forms of arthritis, although it can develop quicker and be more noticeable with certain forms. RA is notorious for severe joint deformity in the hands and feet because the inflammation leads to erosion of cartilage and bone, as...

As part of taking control of your emotional responses, when you feel you are about to cry, tell yourself that you can't cry now, but you will allow yourself to cry later.  Take a deep breath and focus on de-escalating the emotions that are causing you to tear up. While this may be difficult at first, cognitively recognizing your emotions and conditioning your body to respond in appropriate ways at appropriate times is a long-term solution to crying at inconvenient times. Note that it is never a good idea to put off crying all together, as suppression can create lasting emotional damage and exacerbate the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Always remember to create opportunities to express your emotions. . Meditation is an ages old way to reduce stress, combat depression, and relieve anxiety. It doesn't take finding a yogi to benefit from meditation, either.  Simply find a quiet spot, close your eyes and focus on your breathing, taking long, deep breaths and exhaling in a slow, measured fashion. You'll notice your negative feelings melting away almost immediately. Find something other than negative emotions to focus on. Think about something that makes you happy or makes you laugh.  Watch funny animal videos on the internet. You can also try to focus on something you are looking forward to.  If you are a problem-solver, work math equations or take on a small project. If these don't seem to work, mentally imagine a calming, restful place.  Let your mind focus on the details of that place that bring you happiness.  This will coerce your brain to feel an emotion other than sadness, anger, or fear. Music has varied benefits when it comes to managing stress.  Soothing music can calm us down, while listening to music with empathetic lyrics can empower and reassure us.  Choose what is right for you and banish tears with a well-crafted playlist. Focus on your present self, the way food tastes, how the breeze feels on your skin, the way the fabric of your clothing feels when you move.  When you focus on the present...

As society steadily continues to move further into the digital realm, online advertisements will become even more important than they already are. In particular, check into different advertisements you can make with the help of social media and professional ad services.  If you haven't created a digital presence already, do so now. Websites, blogs, and social media accounts for your business all increase your visibility, making it easier for prospective customers to stumble across your business. Additionally, you can also create ads for your business online. Research opportunities like pay-per-click advertising, Google Adsense, and Facebook ads. Print advertisements are a relatively inexpensive way to break out of the digital realm and into the real world. You can send out print advertisements on small scale and large scales.  Newspapers are on the large scale side of print advertisement. Since newspaper subscriptions are declining, however, you'll want to do your research and make sure that your target audience actually reads the paper you plan to print an ad in. Fliers, posters, postcards, and mailings are other options worth considering. These tend to be fairly affordable, but you'll need to figure out the best way to post or send these print ads so that they can reach people in your target market. TV and radio commercials are both popular forms of conventional advertisement, but they also tend to be fairly expensive. Nonetheless, you might be able to attract customers through the use of commercials depending on your product and ideal customer base.  Note that between the two, television commercials tend to be the most expensive option. If you choose to use these forms of advertisement, familiarize yourself with the programming on the channel or station you wish to advertise with. Instead of doing a broad marketing campaign, focus your campaign on one or two specific shows that are most likely to appeal to your target customer. If it's in your budget, host an event that allows you to showcase your product...

As soon as possible, document what happened. For example, if you were denied a promotion, write down your memory of the meeting where you were given an oral explanation.  Take down the names of store employees or anyone else you have a complaint against. Ask for first and last names: customer service representatives often only give a first name. Write down the day and time, as well as the location of where the incident occurred. If you want to lodge a grievance against the driver of a transportation company, you should note not only the license plate number but also the location of the incident. Keep any communications between you and the party against whom you hold a grievance. Retain not only formal communications, such as letters, bills, and receipts, but also informal ones like hand-written notes or emails. Keep your documents in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box or in a safe a home. Also, you can scan any documents so that you always have an electronic copy. If someone observed the incident, talk to them. For example, if someone witnessed harassment at work, you should make a note of who they were. If a stranger observed poor service at a store, try to get their name and contact information. Speaking to witnesses is also a good way to judge whether or not you misunderstood the situation. For example, several witnesses may have heard someone say something different than what you heard. Many businesses have security cameras which record what happens in the store as well as the parking lot. Many cities also have installed cameras that take pictures of intersections. If applicable, you may want to seek this evidence.  At this stage, you should simply ask for the evidence. Even if the store does not want to hand a copy of the footage over to you, ask that it be preserved. If you file a lawsuit, then you can get a copy with a subpoena. You can sometimes get video from a police dash cam by filling out a Right-to-Know request form. Contact the police department about obtaining any video they may have.

Запишите все, что помните о произошедшем. Сохраняйте всю документацию. Поговорите со свидетелями. Поищите доказательства у третьих лиц.


As soon as the grill is ready, use a pair of long-handled tongs to transfer the steak to the center of the grill. Don't use a fork to move the steak around, or you'll pierce the meat and release the juices.  Cook the steak for three to five minutes on the first side. After three minutes, start checking the underside for browning. When the first side is browned, flip the steak with tongs and cook for another three to five minutes on the other side. A braai steak is traditionally only cooked to medium rare. This will take about seven to 10 minutes in total. If you have a meat thermometer, the ideal temperature for the steak is 120 to 125 F (49 to 52 C). If you don't have a meat thermometer, gently press the steak with your finger when you think it's done. If the meat provides little resistance and gives easily to your push, then it's ready. As soon as the meat is cooked, remove it from the grill with the tongs. Place the meat on a fresh plate or wooden board. Set the meat aside to rest for about 10 minutes. Resting meat makes for a juicier steak because it prevents the juices from spilling out when the meat is cut. Steak and potatoes are a classic combination, and roasted potatoes are a great side dish for braai steak. Asparagus is also a fantastic pairing with steak, and grilled asparagus nicely complements a braai steak.

As soon as the test starts, write down all formulas or other important information on some scratch paper before you start going through the questions. This will help keep you from blanking when you need that information later. Always do the fast, easy problems to which you know the answer first. This will help make sure that you get as much of the test done as possible. If you get stuck, just move on to the next problem that you can answer quickly. Once you've answered the questions you know, move on to the ones you're not sure about. When you're dealing with multiple choice questions, eliminating answers that you know are impossible or silly will help you better decide between the possible options. Sometimes the answer to a question can be contained within or hinted at in another question on the test. Look at other answers or questions to help jog your memory. Unless you're docked for incorrect answers, never just leave a question blank. Especially if it's multiple choice; you'll at least have a 25% chance of getting the right answer. As mentioned above, this is where eliminating wrong answers will come in handy. This is important! Always keep track of how much time you have and try to use your time wisely. You can always go back to check or improve your answers later!

TL;DR in Russian:

Запишите важную информацию. Сначала выполните те задания, в решении которых вы уверены. Вычеркивайте неправильные ответы. Ищите подсказки в других вопросах. Никогда не оставляйте вопросы без ответов. Поторопитесь.


As soon as you injure yourself, wash out the wound with water. Find the nearest source of running water and stick the wound underneath it to wash away the blood. This will also help remove any foreign objects that might have gotten into a cut when you injured it or ground into an abrasion when you scraped it, such as dirt. It will also help wash away any microscopic bacteria that might have gotten into the wound when you broke the skin.  Rinse your wound for a while, making sure at least two liters of flowing water have passed over your wound. If you don't have running water, cleanse the wound with antibacterial wash or gel. Immediately following your injury and once any debris or matter is removed, apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding. Use a clean towel, cloth, or garment on the wound. Ball a portion of the fabric to lie directly over the wound and apply pressure. Continue to apply pressure for seven to ten minutes, which is the normal rate of blood flow on superficial wounds. Resist the temptation to check on the wound because that will remove the clot and blood flow will begin again. If you have a first aid kit, use sterile gauze from the kit to put pressure on the wound instead of cloth. If the blood is pulsing or squirting from the wound or if the dressing where you are applying pressure becomes soaked with blood, go to the nearest emergency room immediately. With these symptoms, you may need stitches or staples to close the wound and stop the bleeding. You may also have a small bleeding arteriole that needs to be tied off individually with sutures to stop the bleeding.  If you know the person is taking blood thinners, take them to an emergency room right away, especially if the wound is on their head. If the wound is greater than 1 centimeter (0.39 in) deep, it will require sutures or stitches. There are some cases that need extra preparation before you seek medical care. If your wound is 4cm to 5cm deep, you need to make a tourniquet to stop the bleeding before you seek medical care. Keep...

As soon as you know, or suspect, that your cat might be pregnant, you should take her to the vets to get her checked over. The vet will examiner her, check on how her pregnancy is advancing, and give you guidance about how to care for her during the pregnancy. If your cat has any pre-existing health condition, or is overweight, it is especially important to take her to the vet.  You will need to increase the amount of food you provide for her as the pregnancy progresses. Your vet can advise you on how to go about this in detail, but switching to kitten food in the third trimester is generally advised. The vet will be able to give you an estimate of the number of kittens your cat is expecting. It is possible that the vet will determine that the pregnancy could endanger your cat, and may decide that spaying her is the safest thing to do. It's essential that you provide a safe, warm and quiet area for her to give birth. You should have this birthing nest set up and ready to go at least a week before she is due. Introduce her to the nest early and make sure she knows about it. If she doesn't have a regular bed or box she likes to sleep in, just get a good sized cardboard box and put some warm blankets in it to make it comfortable.  Make sure you only use blankets you don't mind getting soiled. Don't use blankets that have a strong smell.  Place a litter tray near to be box, but not right next to it. Keep the box a couple of feet away. Ensure there is fresh water and food next to the box, but keep the bowls outside of the box. Once you have prepared the nest and the mother, you need to prepare yourself. Gather together all the supplies you might need if there are any problems with the birth. This way you can act quickly and provide the best possible care. Make sure you have plenty of clean and dry towels, which you might need to clean off the kittens. Get some cat-milk powder, and a kitten bottle, in case there is a problem with nursing.  Have a cat box ready to go in case you need to take her to vets in a hurry....

As soon as you remove the burning cotton, invert the glass and place it onto the skin over the target area. After a second, let go, and the cup should stay on the skin. As the glass cools, the space inside transforms into a vacuum. This vacuum creates enough suction to hold the cup in place.  If you’re applying cups to the patient’s back, have the patient lie down on their stomach. If you’re applying cups to their legs or arms, they can sit in a comfortable position. The skin at the opening of the cup will draw upward into the cup. Warm each glass using the burning cotton, then invert the glass and place it on the skin. The cups should be spaced out over the treatment area, a few inches or centimeters apart. Continue until all of the glasses have been placed.  For areas with bony joints, use the smaller 2 oz (60 ml) cups.  For broader areas, use the larger 4 oz (125 ml) glasses. Once you’ve warmed and placed all the cups, extinguish the flaming cotton ball by dropping it into a fire-resistant container. Cover it with a lid, and the flame will go out. If the flame is quite small, you could also blow it out, or dunk it in water. Keep the cups on the skin for about 10-20 minutes, until the skin beneath them turns begins turning from red to violet. Remove the cups by simply lifting them off with your hands. If the suctioning becomes too painful for the patient, remove the cups early.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прижмите горлышко банки к коже. Ставьте по одной банке за раз, пока не поставите все. Погасите огонь. Оставьте банки на теле на 10–20 минут.


As soon as you spot a millipede in your house, stomp or squish it. Do this every time you see a millipede instead of capturing it and releasing it into your yard. Millipedes usually won't invade your home in a large swarm, so killing millipedes when you see them is often effective. If you're a little squeamish about killing the millipedes or even getting close to them, sweep or vacuum up the millipedes and dump them in the trash can. Then tie up the bag and throw it in a covered dumpster outside.  Don't leave millipedes in your indoor trashcan because they can crawl out. If you happen to have a large number of millipedes in your home, use a shop vac to suck them up easily. If you prefer, purchase an indoor-safe pest control spray that's designed to kill millipedes. Spray it directly onto millipedes as soon as you see them. The spray should quickly kill them.  To tell if a product will kill millipedes, check the package for a list of the pests it will kill. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and determine if they're safe to use around children or pets. Check the hardware store if you'd like to purchase a simple trap. Most millipede traps are designed with a light in the center that attracts the millipedes and sloped sides. This way the millipedes are attracted by the light and climb into the trap, but can't escape.

TL;DR in Russian:

As soon as you start to feel the itch, look for something that you can do right away to combat your craving. You might go out for a leisurely walk outdoors, lift weights, take up painting, put on one of your favorite albums, or help out with chores around the house. Anything you can do to distract yourself from your overwhelming desire to play will make a difference.  Let yourself get absorbed in the world around you the way you would a good game. After all, reality is the most impressive game there is, with fully interactive environments, unlimited opportunities for exploration, endless dialogue options, and the most lifelike graphics engine to date.  As you explore your interest in other pursuits, you’ll likely discover that your urge to play video games gets weaker and weaker. Do your best to be present with whatever you decide to do. It won’t do much good if you’re just thinking about gaming the whole time. Rather than sinking countless hours into becoming a joystick all-star, get your friends together and organize a game of football, baseball, or soccer. While real games and sports tend to be much more difficult to master than their virtual counterparts, they're also frequently more rewarding, as they provide a convenient outlet for social interaction, build character, and promote positive values like fairness, determination, and resilience.  Many of the online games that people waste so much time on are based on real games that you can play almost anywhere, like billiards, golf, darts, bowling, and poker. If you have a knack for a certain game or sport, you might even consider trying out for a team and taking your talents to the next level. LARPing, or “Live Action Role Playing,” is a type of role playing game where real people portray fictional characters, freely acting out quests, battles, and other exciting situations. If fantasy RPGs and action-adventure titles are your drug of choice, pledging your sword to a LARPing community can be a good way to indulge in your love of all things fantasy while...

As soon as you think that you or someone you know may have measles (see: How to Diagnose Measles), make an appointment with your doctor to receive a proper diagnosis. Describe your symptoms and try to schedule your appointment as soon as possible. Follow any instructions given by the doctor.  Since measles can appear similar to chicken pox, it's important to get a definitive diagnosis from your doctor so that proper treatment is given. Your doctor will likely recommend you stay home and avoid contact with other people. Measles is very contagious, so isolation is key to preventing an outbreak. Read "Preventing the Disease's Spread", below, for quarantine strategies. Be aware that your doctor may ask you to take special precautions when you come to the office, like wearing a mask or using a back entrance, to prevent the spread of measles. In some cases, the doctor may come out to your car rather than have you come into the office. This is to prevent the spread of the infection to nurses and patients, particularly those who are pregnant. The rest of the instructions in this article are not intended to replace the guidance of a doctor or a trained medical professional. When in doubt, always defer to your doctor's advice. Measles is often accompanied with a fever that can peak at 104°F (40°C). Use over the counter (OTC) pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) to help keep your temperature at a manageable level. Follow the directions on the bottle for the correct dosage and timing.  As an added bonus, these pain medicines will also help to relieve the aches and pains associated with the measles virus.  Note: Do not give aspirin to children unless instructed to by your doctor, as a serious but rare condition called Reyes' syndrome can develop. Almost everyone who gets measles will require plenty of rest to recover. Measles is usually a serious viral infection that takes much of your body's energy and resources to fight. On top of this, the symptoms of measles can leave you feeling more drained...

As soon as you wake up and notice a stain, change or empty your menstrual product and then pull the sheet or towel off. If you leave the stain alone or lay in bed for a while longer, it'll be harder to get out. You usually don't have to do anything special if the blood is fresh - cold water and a bit of scrubbing with soap can usually get it out. Never use warm or hot water to wash out the blood, though - that will actually cause it to set, making the stain worse. If the stain is bad, try soaking it for up to an hour or two and seeing if that helps. If the stain hasn't come out with water and soap, as well as soaking, try putting a bit of hydrogen peroxide on the stain. You shouldn't need to do any scrubbing - it'll often come out on its own. Hydrogen peroxide can bleach dark fabrics, so if the affected fabric is dark, either avoid this method or try diluting the peroxide with water. If the stain has bled through to your mattress, don't panic - you can still get it out. Use a bit of hydrogen peroxide and a clean cloth to blot the stain; deeper stains can be treated by dabbing at the spot with laundry detergent or even a paste of water and baking soda applied for at least half an hour. Just take caution not to soak the mattress, so that it will dry. After you've gotten as much of the stain out as possible, just wash the clothes and sheets normally with cold water. This will get the items clean again, and while there might still be a bit of a stain, it won't be as bad as it was when you woke up.
