Article in English: This formula will help guide you as you calculate the perimeter of your own rectangle. The basic formula is: P = 2 * (l + w).  Perimeter is always the total distance around the outside edge of any shape, whether it is simple or compound. In this equation, P stands for “perimeter,” l refers to the length of the rectangle, and w refers to the width of the rectangle. Length always has a greater value than width. Because opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, both lengths will be the same and both widths will be the same. This is why you write the equation as a multiplication of the sum of the length and width by 2. You can also write the equation as P = l + l + w + w to make this very clear. For a basic math problem at school, the length and width of the rectangle will be provided in the problem. These are usually next to the figure of the rectangle.  If you are calculating the perimeter of a rectangle in real life, use a ruler, yardstick, or tape measure to find the length and width of the area that you are trying to measure. If you’re measuring outdoors, measure all sides to see if the opposites are truly congruent. For example, l = 14 centimeter (5.5 in), w = 8 centimeter (3.1 in). After you identify your length and width, you want to plug them into the “l” and “w” slots in the perimeter equation.  When you are working out your perimeter equations, note that according to the order of operations, mathematical expressions contained inside brackets or parentheses are solved before those outside of the parentheses. So, you’ll begin solving your equation by adding the length and width. For example, P = 2 * (l + w) = 2 * (14 + 8) = 2 * (22). When you’re looking the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, the “(l + w)” is multiplied by two. Once you’ve completed this multiplication, you have the perimeter of your rectangle.  This multiplication takes into account the other two sides of your rectangle. When you added together the width and length, you only added together two sides of the shape. Since the other...

Article in English: This gives you a good base so you don't topple over as you booty shake. Plant your feet and distribute your body weight evenly across the front and back of your feet. Make sure that you have a wide enough stance. The wider your stance, the more stable you'll be as you dance. Your back should remain straight, upright and vertical. You shouldn't be leaning too forwards or too far backwards. As you bend your knees and squat down low, but make sure you feel stable. You shouldn't feel like you're about to fall over. This is a central position for this style of booty shake. The actual movement of body shaking only calls for moving your hips back. However,  it's good to know what it feels like when you're moving your hips in both directions, so that you can feel if you're doing it correctly. Practice moving the hips forward and then moving it back. Keep your torso straight as you do this. Moving the hips back is what creates the booty shake movement. This is an isolated movement. So, you're only rotating your pelvis back. If you're not used to doing this movement, you'll have to  practice moving your hips back because this movement is pivotal to this form of booty shaking. Essentially, moving your hips back is the booty shake. This is more or less for style. However, you also can do it to help stabilize yourself as you start to move. Don't lean forward when you do this because your back should remain straight. Start in the central position, then move your hips back. Do this slowly at first until you have the hang of it. You may shift your weight to your heels as you do this. Then, move your butt out faster.  Now, you should be booty shaking. Practice a lot until you get the hang of it.

Article in English: This gives you the freshest, biggest leaves to work with. If your basil plant has started flowering, pinch off the flowers to help redirect the energy back to growing basil leaves. The flowers will be visible, making it easy to spot when the plant has started flowering. You can use your fingers to pinch the leaves off, or you can use sharp scissors to cut them. Picking off a few leaves won’t harm the plant in any way. Try not to remove more than a third of the leaves on the plant unless you plan to harvest all of it. This helps ensure your plant has enough energy to keep growing. This will give you a stem’s worth of basil leaves. Cutting above the leaves allows new growth to continue, which will preserve your basil plant for a longer stretch of time. Cutting stems just below a pair of leaves may prevent the stem from growing further.

Article in English: This goes a long way to making you seem more approachable. When you walk in the halls, don't hunch over your books or keep your eyes on the floor. Hold your head up and make eye contact with other people. If you see someone you know, give them a smile and say hi. Obviously you’ll want to introduce yourself and tell people a little bit about yourself. However, if you ask questions about people, they’ll feel like you’re more interested in them, which is a sign of a good friend.  You can also ask questions to start a conversation, like "How's the cafeteria food around here?" or "How long have you gone to this school?" Use questions to compliment people as you start the conversation: "I love your shoes, where did you get them?" Save someone a seat. Say "hi" in the hall. Give congratulations for a job well done. Pay a compliment: "I love your shoes/backpack." It can work wonders. Even if you try your best to be kind and approachable, not everyone will want to be your friend. They’ll have their own reasons; it can be as simple as not having common interests. If you get the feeling someone doesn’t want to be your friend, or they tell you outright, don’t try to pursue them. You can’t force them to be your friend.

Article in English: This grain can be purchased in whole, semi-pearled, and pearled forms.  Whole-grain farro is the healthiest and contains the most fiber, but it takes longer to cook  (about 3 hours) than semi-pearled or pearled farro. It can be rougher on sensitive digestive systems and has an earthier, nuttier flavor than the more processed versions. Semi-pearled farro cooks in about half the time as whole-grain farro because the bran has been scored, allowing heat to reach the center more quickly. It has less nutrition than whole-grain farro, however. Pearled farro has had its bran completely removed. It is the quickest yet least nutritious form to consume. Soaking is not necessary for semi-pearled and pearled farro, but it can greatly reduce the overall cooking time for whole farro. Place the farro in a bowl and cover it with cool water for 8 to 16 hours in the refrigerator. Place the farro in a fine-gap mesh colander and rinse with cool, running water until the water runs clear. This step should be performed regardless of whether or not you soaked the farro.

Article in English: This happens by ruling out other potential diseases that could be causing the symptoms. Inflammatory diseases, infections and chemical imbalances can result in similar symptoms, providing a red flag but also a false alarm. On top of this, many of these disorders can be effectively treated through medication and other treatments. Although a spinal tap, or lumbar puncture, can be uncomfortable, it is an essential step in diagnosing MS. This test involves the removal of a small sample of fluid from the spinal canal that is taken for analysis in a laboratory. The spinal tap is often a component in how to diagnose multiple sclerosis, because the fluid may show abnormalities in white blood cells or proteins that may indicate a malfunction of the body's immune system and the presence of the disease. This test may also rule out other diseases and infections. You may feel discomfort when the doctor administers a numbing agent to the area, but you shouldn't feel the procedure itself. In order to prepare for a lumbar puncture: Tell your doctor if you are taking any medications or herbal remedies than may thin out your blood. Empty your bladder. Sign a consent form and possibly a medical test information form.v This test, also known as magnetic resonance imaging, uses a magnet, radio waves and a computer to create an image of the brain and spinal cord. This test can be helpful in making a multiple sclerosis diagnosis because it often shows abnormalities or damage in these areas that can indicate the presence of the disease. An MRI is considered one of the best tests used to diagnose multiple sclerosis to date, although a diagnosis of MS is impossible to make using an MRI alone. That's because patients can still register a normal MRI and still have MS. As doctors are learning more about how to diagnose multiple sclerosis, this test is providing additional information to get an accurate determination of the disease. The procedure is painless and involves the use of visual or electrical stimuli to measure the electrical...

Article in English: This has an effect on several aspects of your new frames. People who wear glasses less often probably want to spend less money. They may also be okay with heavier frames. Those who wear glasses regularly may want to spend more money on a more durable pair. They might also want lighter, more practical frames. Some of your daily activities may call for special features. Proximity to water, activity, and machinery will affect which frames you select. If you wear your glasses during manual labor, look at the glasses of those around you. The common denominator between your coworkers’ frames may give you an idea as to what works best in your job. Those who are active throughout the day should look into break and scratch resistant frames. This will minimize how often you have to get the frames repaired. It is also advisable that you pick frames with a warranty. Free or discounted repairs are a must for the active glasses wearer. Think about how you will use your glasses. Some emphasize practicality and price over style. Others will use their glasses in professional or social situations that call for more sleek or stylish frames. The minimalistic pairs will cost you less, but the more fashionable are more likely to accentuate your face and outfit.

Article in English: This has been shown to reduce the incidence of developing a dry socket. Having the wound sutured by your oral surgeon may also prevent dry socket. This should be done immediately before and after surgery for best results.  Unscrew the cap and pour mouthwash into the cap. Dilute it with water so that it is 50% water and 50% mouthwash. Gently swish the mouthwash around in your mouth moving your tongue from one cheek to another. You may wish to concentrate your swishing efforts around the affected area. Spit out the mouthwash into the sink. Rinse your mouth out with water immediately afterward if the sting of mouthwash becomes too intense. This is especially important during the first 24 hours after surgery. Gradually move from soft foods to semi-soft foods as your wound heals, but it's generally best to avoid hard, chewy, crunchy, and spicy foods, as these are most prone to pooling in the socket and causing irritation or infection. If you're recovering from oral surgery, avoid smoking for at least 48 hours after the procedure. If you use chewing tobacco, avoid using it for at least one week after the procedure. Use of tobacco products may increase irritation, prolong the healing process, and leave wounds more susceptible to infection.

Article in English: This headband adds a cable knit pattern and the project is perfect for learning to knit a cable knit. This pattern also does not use that much yarn and is very pretty.  You will need to know how to perform the knit stitch, the purl stitch and the slip stitch to be able to complete this headband. You will also need to know how to cast on and cast off your stitches. You will need size 10.5 knitting needles and one ball of yarn with a yardage of about 87 yards/100 grams in a color of your choice. These materials will be used in your project. Cast on and knit about a 4" x 4" sample square, and measure how many stitches are in each inch, and how many rows, with the yarn you've picked.  Write down that information to help you determine the number of stitches for your final headband. If you do not wish to make a swatch then you can simply knit the first couple of rows and see if it looks long enough. Usually you will use 13 stitches to create your headband. If you use a different number of stitches then you will have to readjust your headband rows to suit. You can use whichever cast on method your prefer for this project. Good beginner cast on methods include the long tail cast on and backwards loop cast on. This headband entails a repeating pattern every eight rows. The eight rows are each different to create one section of the cable pattern. You will use the knit stitch, the purl stitch and slip stitches to create these eight rows. You will also need a cable needle for these eight stitches.  In row one knit thirteen stitches. In row two knit two stitches, purl nine stitches and then knit two stitches.

Article in English: This helpful acronym can help you avoid reacting with immediate fear in situations. When you encounter that fear of failure, practice the following:   Stop what you are doing. Whatever you’re doing, stop and take a step back from the situation. Give yourself some time to think before reacting.  Take a deep breath. Take a few moments to cleanse yourself with a few deep breaths. This will restore oxygen to your brain and help you make clearer decisions.  Observe what is going on. Ask yourself some questions. What is going on in your mind? What are you feeling? What is the “script” in your head right now? Are you considering the facts? Are you giving more weight to opinions? What are you focusing on?  Pull back for perspective. Try to imagine the situation from the perspective of an impartial observer. What would she see in this situation? Is there another way of approaching this situation? How big is this situation in the grand scheme of things -- will it even matter 6 days or 6 months from now?  Proceed based on your principles. Go forth with what you know and have determined. Practice what is most in line with your values and goals. We’re often our own worst critics. You may discover that your inner critic is always dissatisfied with you, telling you things like “I’m not good enough” or “I will never get this right” or “I shouldn’t even bother trying this.” When you discover those types of thoughts, challenge them. They’re unhelpful, and even more, they’re untrue.  Think how you’d counsel a friend. Imagine that it is a friend or loved one in your situation. Perhaps your best friend is afraid of leaving her day job to pursue her dream of becoming a musician. What would you tell her? Would you immediately imagine her failure, or would you find ways to support her? Give yourself the same compassion and belief that you would show a loved one. Think whether you’re generalizing. Are you taking one specific instance and generalizing it to your whole experience? For example, if your science project has not worked,...

Article in English: This helps give you energy while getting your body hydrated. Set the glass of water out next to your bed before you go to sleep, or simply wake up and fill a cup up with water as soon as you get out of bed. This includes tasks like brushing your teeth, washing your face, and brushing your hair. Cold water is effective in helping people wake up, so try splashing your face with cold water or taking a quick cold shower, if necessary. Try to keep your bathroom routine consistent so that it becomes a habit. The right breakfast can help you wake up and can keep you feeling healthy and energetic throughout the day. Try eating something such as eggs which are full of protein, or toast and some fruit if you're on the go.  Granola and oatmeal are also healthy options. Consider making a smoothie full of healthy fruits, vegetables, and yogurt. Exercise is a great way to get your body moving, improve your energy levels, and make you feel invigorated. If you don't have time for a full workout, go for a short walk or do some jumping jacks to help get your blood pumping. Go for a jog around your neighborhood, or try some morning yoga. As opposed to starting off your day by watching TV or lounging around at home, try getting things done in the morning such as any errands or small tasks. You'll feel more accomplished and motivated for the rest of the day.  Make a to-do list before you go to bed or when you wake up that morning to see what you need to get done. The tasks could include things such as walking the dog, doing the dishes, or stopping by the post office.

Article in English: This helps remove the outermost layer of skin that is darkened and/or damaged by contact with the sun. Avoid over-exfoliating, however, as this can interfere with you skin’s natural oil production and cause greasiness. One cheap and effective homemade exfoliant is brown sugar mixed with honey. On its own, honey can make skin feel remarkably soft; coupled with the gritty sugar texture, the two make for a very effective scrub. As a bonus, honey is an antibacterial agent that can help keep you from breaking out. By scattering light, the powder will not only make your skin appear brighter, but also even out blemishes. Baby powder can do this, too. It's light enough to fill in your pores like a powder foundation, but heavy (and white) enough to subtly affect your skin tone. Make sure not to apply too much, though, or you'll end up looking like an 18th-century Geisha. Be forewarned, however, that hydroquinone – the active ingredient in many bleaching creams – has been banned in many countries due to studies suggesting that it is carcinogenic. Bearberry (Beta-Arbutin) and kojic acid are also recent trends in skin lightening. However, recently bearberry has been linked to hydroquinone and has also been deemed unsafe; kojic acid, on the other hand, has passed its tests. Used at levels of 2% (no higher) in cosmetic products, it's safe. Note: in lab testing, skin lightening results were seen at 4%.

Article in English: This helps the cut edge to heal slightly and avoids stem rot which occurs when there is excess moisture in the plant. The cutting can be left to dry for up to 4 days. A mixture of moist peat and sand soil will provide enough nutrients for your growing plant. It will also allow proper soil drainage which is very important for cactus growth. You can also layer pumice on the bottom of your pot for additional drainage. Make sure the cutting is about an inch deep to allow it to absorb enough moisture and nutrients.If needed, you can place multiple cuttings per pot at this stage of the process. While it can easily adapt to low light conditions, your Christmas cactus will thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this can easily burn the cactus leaves. Water your cuttings sparingly to prevent rot. After 2-3 weeks, your cutting will show growth at its tips. These are usually red in colour and a sign you can now transplant it into a bigger pot Fill this with a loose mixture of potting soil. Alternatively, you can use the same soil as the mother plant.  Don’t worry if your plant wilts at the beginning. This is normal and will subside once the plant gets used to its new home. At this point, your plant can be exposed to more indirect sunlight. Once your cutting has developed roots and new growth, it can retain water just as well as an adult plant. Ensure that the soil remains moist and care for your plant in the same way you would a mature cactus. Test the soil to see if it needs watering. Once the top layer of the soil feels dry to the touch, it is time to water again. Christmas cactus plants like to live in tight pots so don’t need to be repotted very often. Repotting should be done after blooming in late winter or early spring.

Article in English: This helps to give an extra element of fantasy to your story. Part of the fun of a fantasy world is seeing mythical creatures come to life. Use traditional mythical creatures, such as elves, fairies, ogres, and vampires, or create your own.  If you use traditional mythical creatures, such as vampires or mermaids, establish what these creatures are like in your story, as variations of mythical creatures vary. In Twilight, for examples, vampires can choose not to eat people and sparkle in the daylight. In Buffy, however, the majority of vampires cannot control their tendency towards evil and will die if exposed to sunlight. This step isn’t essential to all fantasy stories. Use your best judgement to decide which characters will work best in your story. Give your main characters a motivation to help create the conflict and resolution in your story. This motivation could be a goal, the influence of their peers, or their own personal values. Give your characters strengths and flaws that relate to their motivation to give them depth.  For example, perhaps there has been a tsunami in your fantasy land and your main character is desperately trying to save their family. Ask yourself what each character wants. For example, maybe a character named Ramona was abandoned by her mother. All she wants is a family of her own. She tends to be overly jealous and clingy with her friends, a flaw, but one that's understandable given her abandonment issues. Almost all fantasy stories have a hero. Give this character unique strength and determination to help move the plot forward. Position this character to fight the main antagonist and thus solve the central conflict.  Usually, the hero does not realize he or she is special right away. Luke Skywalker does not realize he can use the force until meeting Obi Wan Kenobi. Harry Potter does not know he's a wizard until Hagrid informs him. Try to choose an otherwise ordinary character as your hero. Readers will more easily relate to a character who seems like a mostly normal person.  Try...

Подумайте о том, чтобы ввести в свою историю наставника. Создайте запоминающегося злодея, чтобы сделать историю увлекательной.


Article in English: This helps you focus on the teacher. This also allows you to hear your teacher clearly, making it easier to understand more what she/he is talking about. Although the urge to sit with your buddies may be appealing, try your best to avoid the temptation. Chatting with friends is will distract you and cause you to lose. This will not only get you trouble, but lower your concentration rate for the class altogether.  If you feel the urge to speak with a classmate, yet are seated in an assigned location, talk to your teacher about getting your changing seats. Failing that, let the friend know (outside of class!) that this is not meant to insult them; you just need to focus. Some of us get distracted very easily and distractions keep us from learning. For example, if your water bottle is catching all your attention, immediately remove it from your desk.  Eliminate any distractions (even if you don't want to) and you'll soon find your attention immediately going to the teacher each class.

Сядьте в начале класса. Не сидите с друзьями. Избавьте себя от всех вещей, которые вас отвлекают.


Article in English: This helps you get ready for your back handstand. Follow the steps described above. When you're warmed up and ready, follow the next steps for your handstand. The back handstand essentially starts with a bridge from standing position, but with the difference that here you kick your legs up into the air for a handstand.  Stand with your feet parallel, shoulder-width apart. Raise your arms high into the air. Start arching backwards towards a bridge position. At this point, two things need to happen virtually simultaneously.  Make sure your shoulders are over your hands. The momentum you gather here helps you get into the position. Push off from both feet, kicking your legs over your head into handstand position. Pull through your core muscles continuously to keep the line straight, with shoulders and hips squarely stacked. Keep your eyes focused on a spot on the ground to help you balance. Do this by bringing your feet back down in front of you towards your hands. Ta-dah!

Article in English: This helps your braid stay smooth and neat.  Use any kind of brush or comb, brushes are better to smooth out your hair. Brushing your hair before you start braiding will prevent knots from forming in your hair as your braid. Don't start braiding your hair when it is wet. It will expand as it dries and may break in your braid. Avoid using lots of hair product when you start this process, but you can try a dry shampoo to help with texture if you need it. You can also mist on a little water or use a leave-in conditioner to help tame flyaways. Try using dry shampoo if you are having problems holding on to your hair. Clean, dry hair may be too slick to stay in place while performing the steps. The dry shampoo adds texture that helps you hold on to the strands. Before you can start your braid, you need to decide where you want your braid. The placement of your braid on your head can transform your hairstyle for many outfits and occasions. It can be convenient, casual, or elegant depending on where you place your braid.  Pull your hair to either side to make a side braid. Brush all of your hair to the side you choose to ensure there will be no bumps. This creates a more elegant, put together look that can accent an evening out or day at the office. Starting with a side braid can be beneficial if you are a beginner. It is easier to see and control what you are doing with a side braid. You can braid down the back in a low, unsecured ponytail. This gives a more elegant classic braid and is more relaxed and unstructured. You can also start by making a ponytail in the middle or on top of your head. This will add stability to a back braid but is a more casual look.

Article in English: This herb can be found in pill form in most health stores. Follow the package instructions for the specific dosage. Chasteberry may help relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, although scientific evidence is currently limited. However, it has not been proven to reduce menopausal symptoms, increase lactation, or increase fertility.  Chasteberry has been shown to influence estrogen levels. However, the exact nature and level of the effect has not been widely established.  Avoid taking chasteberry if you are using: birth control pills, antipsychotic drugs, medications used to treat Parkinson's disease, or Metoclopramide, a dopamine-affecting drug. Phytoestrogens act like an estrogen substitute in the body and occur naturally in several plants and herbs. Consider using phytoestrogens if you're trying to alleviate symptoms of low estrogen levels, or menopause. Take phytoestrogens in moderation. You may actually want to avoid phytoestrogens if you're trying to conceive. Phytoestrogens have been linked to infertility and developmental problems, although you would need to consume massive quantities of these foods to ingest clinically significant levels of phytoestrogens. Foods and herbs that contain phytoestrogens include:  legumes: soybeans, peas, pinto and lima beans fruits: cranberries, prunes, apricots herbs: oregano, sage, licorice whole grains flaxseed vegetables: broccoli and cauliflower Several herbal teas or tisanes may increase your estrogen levels or provide relief for symptoms of menopause or premenstrual syndrome without affecting your estrogen levels.

Article in English: This hopper recipe uses either toddy, an alcoholic palm wine, or baking soda. While toddy is more traditional and adds a special flavor, both methods involve fermenting the batter overnight, producing a noticeably different flavor than the faster yeast method. . You can use any variety of rice for this recipe. Since you need to start making these hoppers the day before, you could make a pot of rice for dinner that day and save a handful (or two large spoonfuls) in a closed container in the fridge. Use 1.5 cups of rice (350 mL).While you may be used to rice that doesn't require soaking, this recipe calls for blending the rice with other ingredients, so you'll need to soak it until it is soft enough to grind or put in a food processor. Strain the soaked rice through a mesh or cloth to drain the water, leaving softened but uncooked rice. This will take a lot of work by hand, so use a blender or food processor if you have one. Blend the uncooked rice along with the grated coconut and cooked rice to a smooth or nearly smooth batter. A slightly coarse or grainy texture is fine. Add water little by little to the batter if it looks dry or you're having trouble grinding it. Stir the batter together to get a wetter, thinner mixture. Use a cooking pot or other cooking container. You'll cook this mixture and use it to start the batter fermenting, which adds air and flavor to the hoppers. Stir the batter water mixture vigorously as you heat it at a low temperature. It should continue to thicken until it is gelatinous and transparent. Remove the mixture from heat and let it sit until it reaches room temperature. Stir together thoroughly until there are no lumps. Add a little bit of water as you go if the mixture is too dry to stir. Use a large bowl with plenty of space for the batter to expand. Cover the batter mixture with a cloth or lid and let it sit at room temperature. Often, people will leave it overnight and make hoppers for breakfast in the morning. The batter should nearly double in size, and appear bubbly. Once...

Article in English: This idea can apply to several different areas of life, but it's a great managerial mantra. Do you want to be the kind of person who has wildly optimistic goals that they never meet, or do you want to be the kind of person who sets measured goals and ends up exceeding them by leaps and bounds? Although this is about image, image is extremely important. Don't be the kind of person who never shoots for the moon. Staying measured in your goals doesn't mean that you should always play it conservative, never setting high goals. A manager who never punches above her weight can come across as lacking ambition. Even the conservative poker player knows they need to go 'all-in' from time to time. Having concrete goals empowers your employees and keeps them focused on work.  Explicitly outline what you expect, when the deadline is, and what you'll do with the results. Providing your employees with quick feedback that's focused on their work can help foster improvement.  Meet in small teams or one-on-one, and go over your comments in detail. Set up a schedule for feedback.  Offer it regularly so that your employees know when to expect it and can make space for it in their workflows. We all know the kind of manager who constantly shouts or bitterly complains when mistakes are made but gives themselves a 'pass' when they fail. Don't be this kind of manager. Ideally, be harder to on yourself than you are on your employees. This can have a trickle-down effect: Employees see the types of goals and standards you set for yourself and want to emulate you because they look up to you.

Article in English: This illness affects each area of the gastrointestinal tract. Its symptoms can include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and general malaise. Keep in mind that these symptoms can occur from a low grade fever instead, such as one caused by the influenza virus (the "actual flu," unrelated to the stomach flu). The stomach flu is self-limited, meaning the symptoms usually end in 2-3 days, but can last up to 10 days. There is no cure, so focus on preventing it from spreading and making yourself as comfortable as possible while the virus runs its course. The virus is spread by coming in contact with contaminated food, water, utensils, and other objects such as doorknobs that an infected person has touched. Have you come into contact with someone who has the stomach flu? Do you have any of the symptoms of the stomach flu? If your symptoms are mild-moderate nausea, vomiting  and diarrhea, you most likely have a garden variety stomach flu caused by the three most common viral pathogens: norovirus, rotavirus, or adenovirus. In most cases, you do not need medical care to recover from these viruses. This is especially important if your symptoms don't lessen over time. Call a doctor or visit a clinic if you're experiencing the following symptoms:  Increased or constant vomiting for more than a day Fever over 101 °F (38 °C) Diarrhea for more than two days Weight loss Decreased urine production Confusion Weakness If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may have severe dehydration or another serious medical condition. Visit an emergency room or call for emergency services immediately:  Fever higher than 103 °F (39 °C) Confusion Sluggishness (lethargy) Seizures Difficulty breathing Chest or abdominal pains Fainting Blood in vomit or stool No urine in the last 12 hours  Feeling faint or light-headed, especially upon standing A racing pulse Severe or localized abdominal pain (this could indicate appendicitis or pancreatitis) Infants and toddlers are at an increased risk complications such as of...

Article in English: This includes all sodas, energy drinks, and coffee. Drinking caffeine causes a spike in cortisol levels. The good news, if there is any, is that cortisol responses are reduced, but not eliminated, in people who drink caffeine regularly. If you enjoy drinking caffeinated drinks and don't want to cut them out, you can instead drink them at the best possible times. Most people experience their peak cortisol levels from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. You can schedule your coffee breaks around these times, such as at 7:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and anytime between 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This way you can maintain your energy levels without spiking your cortisol levels too much. Processed foods, especially simple carbohydrates and sugar, cause a spike in cortisol. Too many processed foods increase blood sugar levels, which in turn causes you to feel anxious. The best way to eliminate this reaction is to cut out the processed foods, though reducing them can also help. Try to avoid the following processed foods:  White bread "Regular" pasta (not whole wheat) White rice Candies, cakes, chocolates, etc. Ashwagandha is an herb that helps to balance cortisol levels. If your cortisol is high, the ashwagandha can lower it by a significant amount. Additionally, it can help you feel less stressed or anxious. However, you should check with your doctor before taking any medications, especially if you are taking other medications. You can find ashwaganda either online or in the supplement section of your grocery store. There are no adverse side effects reported for this supplement. Rhodiola is an herbal supplement related to ginseng, and a popular folk remedy for lowering cortisol. It reputedly ramps up your energy, helps you burn fat, and lowers your cortisol levels while it's at it.

Article in English: This includes any wiping materials such as toilet paper, tissues, or baby wipes as well as a small trowel, hand sanitizer, and plastic sealable bags. It’s a good idea to choose a bag for these supplies that is colored or isn’t see-through. Look in camping stores or online for plastic bags designed for storing used toilet paper. This is to prevent water contamination and the spread of disease and ensure you don’t disrupt the trail or other hikers. Before picking a spot, look around and make sure you’re not near bodies of water like streams, lakes, rivers, trails, or campsites. Walking 75 paces should ensure that you’re far enough away. A cluster of bushes or a tree with a large trunk will provide you with some privacy while you’re using the bathroom. Look for a spot that isn’t entirely out in the open and is on relatively flat land. You may need to walk farther into the woods to find a secluded spot, so pay attention to your location. A large rock is another privacy option. These are things you definitely want to avoid when choosing a bathroom spot. It’s also a good idea to look out for any other dangerous or poisonous plants or animals when picking out a bathroom location so that you don’t have to worry about getting hurt.  Spot poison ivy by looking for plants with clusters of three leaves.

You can also Restart the computer This step can be skipped if you are rebooting. This will take you to the “Advanced Boot Options” screen. You may see some combination of the following options:   Safe Mode with Networking. Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that disallows all software except necessary drivers and core software (including basic network software in this case) to run the operating system.  Safe Mode with Command Prompt. This gives you a command prompt window in safe mode instead of a graphical user interface. This mode is typically for advanced users.  Enable Boot Logging. This option creates a file, ntbtlog.txt, that can be used to help troubleshoot issues while booting the computer. This is also designed for advanced users.  Enable low-resolution video (640×480).

Article in English: This includes grass, rocks, trees, shrubs, and even old concrete. Clear away everything until raw earth is exposed. Lay a 4–8 inch (10.2–20.3 cm) thick subbase with your chosen material, and then compact it with a hand tamper or a plate compactor. Plate compactors can be overkill for small, DIY projects, but offer more power in the compacting process. A form is usually a wooden perimeter, secured by special nails or screws, and built around the pouring site. A well-built form will help you achieve a better finish on your concrete. Keep a couple things in mind when building your form:  For square or rectangular forms, make sure that your corners form 90 degree angles. Take a tape measure and measure both diagonals of the square or rectangular; they should correspond to one another exactly. If they don't, it's back to the drawing board with your form. Also make sure that the forms have a slight slope to them. If they are completely level, you can expect water build up in the middle of your beautiful concrete. To eliminate this possibility, create a slight slope of 1" for every 10 feet. Reinforce your concrete with wire mesh or rebar, especially on heavy load-bearing structures, such as driveways. This gives you concrete greater structural integrity.  Wire mesh will help guard small cracks growing and spreading, as well as offer stability across two axes (wire mesh is welded, where rebar is often tied together). Rebar may offer better structural integrity, and be better for higher load-bearing surfaces. On the flip side, it doesn't do much to minimize the appearance of cracks that do appear.

Article in English: This includes herbal remedies, supplements, and over-the-counter medications. Your doctor will be able to advise you on whether your liver will be able to handle the demands of processing that medication.  Many medications or herbal remedies can be dangerous for your liver. Some common ones include aspirin, jin bu huan, ma-huang, germander, valerian, mistletoe, and skullcap. Do not take street drugs. They may further damage your liver. Avoid toxic chemicals such as fungicides, insecticides, aerosol sprays, and other fumes. If you must be around them, wear a mask. If your liver is badly damaged, these drugs may be beneficial.  They are usually not prescribed for patients with kidney failure, bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, or an infection. Doctors usually prescribe prednisolone for 28 days. While on steroids, your doctor will have to monitor your blood glucose. Approximately two out of five people are not helped by corticosteroids. Your doctor will know what the latest scientific developments are either in support of or against this medication. Pentoxifylline inhibits the cytokines that lead to more liver damage. This drug may be beneficial for those with mild to moderate liver disease. Sometimes both corticosteroids and pentoxifylline are used together. These medications are controversial because there isn’t a lot of scientific evidence supporting their use.  Anabolic steroids are strong steroids. Propylthiouracil was originally created as a thyroid medication. If your liver is failing this may be necessary. In order to receive a liver, you will need to:  Have stopped drinking Be in good enough health to survive the operation Agree to abstain from alcohol for the rest of your life Other treatments have failed

Article in English: This includes many saltwater fish such as sea trout and bluefish, as well as freshwater bottom feeders such as carp and catfish.  If you are fishing from one spot (still fishing), cut the fish into chunks thick enough to hide most of the hook. If you are dragging the fishing line behind a moving boat (trolling), cut the fish into long, thin V-shaped strips. Pierce the hook through the thicker end so the moving strip imitates a swimming fish. Any fish that hunts crayfish, such as pike or catfish, can be attracted by a severed tail with the hook pushed along the length of the meaty center. The same hooking process can be used to attract shoreline fish with a shrimp tail bait. Commercial doughball paste can be purchased in labeled varieties that attract bass, trout, or another specific species. You can also make your own by boiling hot water, flour, cornmeal, and molasses for a few minutes and letting it cool. Fishermen add anything from cheese to garlic to this recipe in their efforts to attract an individual fish species. Form the paste into a ball over the entire hook. Press it into place so the hook is hidden completely. Some hooks include wire springs to help keep the doughball in place. Shellfish are great for attracting fish in their native area. Clams, mussels, liver, and other soft meat should be left out in the sun to harden before use, or else frozen beforehand and used when partially thawed.  Once the meat is hardened, pierce the hook through it in as many different places as possible. Hide the end of the hook in the meat. If it still won't adhere to the hook or you suspect a fish could peel it right off, use fine thread or wire to tie it on. You can find artificial lures that sink, float, or stay just under the surface. In addition to customizing for your fish's habits, you can find artificial bait intended to attract a specific species by smell or appearance. In order to hook a standard artificial "grub," thread the hook through the mouth of the bait until the front reaches the eye of the hook....

Article in English: This includes phone numbers, chat logs, and emails. It might hurt you to do this, but leaving yourself the option to call your ex in emotionally weak moments can be indicative of dependent behavior. It may also be wise for you to block your ex's number/email, to prevent any unwanted surprise contact. Discard all of the special items that remind you of this person. Get rid of the things that remind you of your love. Some articles that can make a breakup especially difficult: clothing, jewelry, photographs, and gifts. You don't have to throw everything away, but you may need time away from these items before you can fully move on. Why not box up any items that remind you of your ex and put them somewhere out of sight and mind? When your anniversary rolls around, or when there's a holiday that reminds you of your ex, make plans with other friends to take your mind off times you shared with your one-time lover. Did you and your ex watch movies every Monday? Call up a friend and make sure you have replacement plans for Monday night while you readjust to single life.  Organize a party, outing, or dinner among friends to fill a lonely night with laughter and good times. Make special days based on your own parameters rather than those of someone else. Seeing your ex gallivant around with someone new might make your heart ache and complicate moving on. Even if you have hopes of maintaining a friendship with this person down the road, understand that you may need time and space before you allow your ex back into your life. Some people find writing a goodbye letter, where you can summarize all your feelings and the hopes you had for the relationship, to be a useful tool to aid the healing process. You don't have to show them the letter, but the simple act of writing your feelings down on paper can bring you the closure you need. Another technique you may find beneficial is confessing your feelings to this person in your head. The simple act of releasing bottled emotions can speed up the healing process.

Article in English: This includes pictures of you and your ex, listening to 'your' song, and gifts they gave you. While you don't necessarily have to throw all the stuff out (that cookbook you two would try recipes from might come in handy in the future) you should move it from your direct line of sight. However mad you may be, it is best not to destroy something that may be of significant financial or sentimental value to them (expensive items or family mementos). If you have items like this, the best thing is to gather them up, and arrange a time for them to come get them. This is not an invitation to reconnect, so keep your messages short and professional. Keeping in contact with them will make you feel even worse than you already do. Don't call your ex crying or send passive aggressive texts, and definitely don't communicate when you've been drinking. Your ex has made it clear that they are moving on. The best way to do that yourself is to avoid contact with them.  Delete your ex from social media. You don't need the constant reminder of what they are up to that you'll automatically get from Facebook or other social media sites. That kind of avoidance will help keep you from thinking about them.  Ask your friends to help. Don't make, or let, them fill you in on what your ex is up to. Instead, ask them to help you get your mind off them, even if it's just by spending time talking about anything else, or keeping you from contacting them. The best way to get over the past is to create a new, bright future for yourself without that person. Now is the time to fulfill your dreams of learning new skills or trying different activities. Enroll in a new after school or work class, or join a sports team, even just joining a pick-up game every week will work. The goal is to distract yourself with new ideas and activities, and to meet new people. One of the best ways to get your mind off your own problem is to try to help someone else with a challenge they are facing. Ask your friends about what is going on in their lives, or talk to...

Summary in Russian:

Избавьтесь от вещей, которые напоминают вам о бывшем партнере. Оборвите все контакты с бывшим партнером. Займитесь чем-нибудь новым. Помогите другому человеку. Знакомьтесь с новыми людьми. Сохраняйте терпение.


Article in English: This includes pre-packaged foods, eggs, and leftovers. The top shelf is easiest to access. Plus, storing these items at the top of the refrigerator helps prevent contamination because no foods are placed above them. Store drinks that are too tall for the top shelf on the middle shelf of your refrigerator. Avoid storing them on the door, where it's warmer. This prevents them from leaking onto your other ingredients and contaminating them. However, check over your meats to make sure they aren't leaking before you store them, as they can spread bacteria. If you find a leak, repackage your meat and clean up the spill using an antibacterial cleaner. Protect your crisper by placing your meats in a plastic container that fits on your lower shelf. If the meat leaks, it'll leak into the container, not onto your produce. Keeping your produce on the middle shelf makes it easier to pull it out when you're ready to cook. Plus, this keeps it above the meat in your refrigerator. However, your crisper can control humidity and provide the best environment for your fruits and vegetables, so you might prefer to keep them there. If you use the crisper, make sure you don't overfill the drawers, which makes it harder to find what you need. The door is the warmest part of your refrigerator, so the only safe thing to store there is your condiments. Group them according to type so it's easy to find what you need. For example, put jams and jellies together, group marinades together, and put all of your sandwich dressings in one spot. Most refrigerators have a small drawer below the top shelf where you traditionally store cheese. If you buy sandwich meats, you can also place those in the cheese drawer. This keeps your cheeses safe and easy to find.

Summary in Russian:

Расположите готовые к употреблению продукты и напитки на верхней полке. Храните сырое мясо на нижней полке холодильника. Складывайте сырые продукты на среднюю полку или в ящик для овощей. Приправы и соусы храните в двери холодильника. Храните сыры и мясные нарезки в «зоне свежести».


Article in English: This includes preparation and cooking of the food. The foods that are usually eaten raw (such as fruits and vegetables) should be thoroughly cleaned before eating to prevent ingestion of contaminated food. Drinking water should be boiled if need be and should be kept in a clean place for cooling. The water that is being used for cooking needs to be clean to avoid contamination. Swimming pools should be treated with chlorine and the pool water should be changed regularly. This is to avoid contamination and to ensure that it is safe for swimming.  Fecal contamination in pools does happen more often than most think. In a recent study by the CDC, 58% of public swimming pools tested positive for fecal contamination. This doesn't mean there is E. coli present necessarily, but it does provide the environment for it to be transmitted. If you are swimming, avoid swallowing pool water as much as possible. Also, shower after leaving the pool to greatly diminish any chances of infection. It is important to keep your hands clean at all times. E. coli is contagious and can be spread from one person to another through fecal contamination. Poor hygiene in the restroom can lead to the bacteria's spread. Wash your hands with warm soap and water. Scrub for at least 20 seconds. Ensure that your food is cooked well before consumption. If it's undercooked, don't eat it — especially beef. Cooking food thoroughly ensures that any microbe that might be present in the food are not ingested. A food thermometer should be used to ensure that the food being consumed is safe. Beef is only done when it has reached an internal temperature of 160° F (71.1°C).

Summary in Russian:

Следите за гигиеной во время приготовления пищи. Примите меры предосторожности в бассейне. Регулярно мойте руки. Хорошо проваривайте пищу.


Article in English: This includes regular dental exams, during which oral cancers may be found. Regular check-ups allow you to ask questions about your cancer risk, get information about cancer screening tests, and to get any symptoms checked out. Catching cancer early or catching pre-cancerous conditions offer the best possibility of successful treatment. A regular physical should also include exams for cancers of the mouth, reproductive system, skin, thyroid, and other organs. Sometimes, certain kinds of cancers run in families. This can be because of everyday lifestyle choices (smoking), environmental exposures, or because of an abnormal gene that is passed down from generation to generation. If people in your family have had cancer, there is a possibility that you are at increased risk for cancer. Your healthcare provider can advise you about your particular risk and recommend additional tests. The American Cancer Society has published guidelines for cancer screening tests which include:  Yearly mammograms for women, beginning at age 40 Tests that either detect colon polyps and/or colon cancer, beginning at age 50 for men and women Cervical cancer screening for women, beginning at age 21 Discuss prostate cancer screening with your physician, beginning at age 50 (men only) Listed here are general guidelines. Read the entire American Cancer Society guidelines for the most complete information. Men and women can monitor themselves for skin cancer by doing skin checks and paying close attention to odd-looking moles or growths. Other cancers can sometimes present with skin abnormalities as well. Women should perform monthly self-breast exams. Men can perform self-testicular exams. Sudden, unexplained weight gain or weight loss can be a sign of cancer. Consider weighing yourself on a regular basis so you are aware of weight changes.

Регулярно проверяйте состояние здоровья у врача. Обсудите с врачом историю болезней вашей семьи. Пройдите рекомендованные диагностические процедуры на выявление рака. Следите за собственным состоянием и обращайте внимание на тревожные симптомы.


Article in English: This includes small tunnels that your rabbit can go through, some newspaper for your rabbit to shred, some balls to play with and some treats. Of course, your rabbit will be most interested in the treats, but afterwards you will figure out what your rabbit enjoys playing with! Take a piece of cloth and hold it over your rabbit. Then take off the cloth and make a noise ("Boo!" Or "Whee!") and see if your rabbit enjoys it. Some rabbits get mad, and some just find it weird!

Summary in Russian:

Разложите случайные предметы на полу. Ку-ку.


Article in English: This includes stores, restaurants, public telephones, public transportation, and bars. Keep an eye on the floors of these places, and you may be surprised by how much money you can spot. Try to be at least a little discrete about this though. You don't want people questioning why you're roaming around a restaurant with your back bent and your eyes glued to the ground.  Be careful to not pick up money that was just dropped. You might find a stray dollar in the corner of a bar, but if it was just dropped by someone, return it them if they're not picking it up themselves. The goal is to collect money left behind, not steal. Pay careful attention to sides and corners, where coins can easily roll out of sight and out of the way. Inspect under bleachers at sporting events, fairs, and other venues with open-bottomed bleachers. Also check car parking lots, especially those of night clubs and bars. Do so in the morning hours, before traffic starts moving. It's amazing what people will drop when they are drunk, tired, and distracted.  Whenever you need to go to a store, park far from the store, so you can search for money on the ground as you walk.  Pay extra attention to self-pay parking lots and drive-throughs. People will reach from their car window to pay, and often drop coins to the ground. Most people won't bother to get out of their car to collect this change. Check the coin return slots in vending machines. Look behind and underneath them for change that has rolled out of sight. Most people will not bend down and rummage under a vending machine to find a coin they've lost. Look down alleyways, and often-used footpaths where people may drop their spare change. This is an easy thing to do when you're out on other business. It's just about making a habit of being observant of the ground and what you might come across. Check behind the public toilet seat. People have to drop their trousers, and anything could come out of those pockets, including change or bills. Also, look behind the cushions of the sofa, and...

Отправляйтесь на поиски денег туда, где люди часто обмениваются ими. Сходите на автостоянку и на спортивный стадион. Осмотрите торговые автоматы. Внимательно осматривайте тротуары. Проверьте общественные туалеты и мебель.


Article in English: This includes the amount of money you will be investing or saving, the length of the term and the proposed interest rates. You may have several different interest rates that you want to compare. Divide the number by 100 and then divide this interest rate by 365, the number of days in a year. This will give you the interest rate to use in the formula. An annual percentage rate of .5 percent or .005, when divided by 365, is equal to .00137 percent, or .0000137. If the principle is $10,000, when multiplied by .0000137, it is equal to $.1370. Rounded up, this account will earn approximately $.14 per day, based on these examples. Multiply the principal, $10,000, by the annual percentage rate of .5 percent or .005 to calculate interest manually. The answer is $50.00. Multiply the daily interest amount of $.1370 by 365 days; the answer is also $50.00.

Article in English: This includes the amount of money you will be investing or saving, the length of the term and the proposed interest rates. You may have several sets of variables if your intention is to compare alternatives. You will need to prepare a calculation for each alternative in order to complete your comparison. You will be entering the data from Step 1 into specific cells on the spreadsheet and then setting up formulas. Once the formulas are calculated you can easily evaluate many different alternatives.  Popular spreadsheet programs include Microsoft Excel and iWork Numbers. You can also find free spreadsheet applications online such as Google Docs or Zoho Sheet. You can expand the cell by clicking on the right line of the column number, A, B, or C, etc. (Arrows will then show that you can manipulate.) These labels are for your reference only. Convert the percent interest to a decimal by dividing it by 100. Leave cell B4 (Daily Interest) blank for now.  The interest rate is usually shown as an annual figure; it will need to be divided by 365 in order to reach the daily interest rate. For example, if your principal to invest is $10,000, and your savings account is offering .5 percent interest, you will enter "10000" in cell B1 and "=.005/365" in cell B2. The number of periods determines how long your investment will remain in the account untouched, except for the compounding interest that is added. You can use a sample term of one year, which will be entered in cell B3 as "365." Functions are special formulas offered by the spreadsheet designers to make your calculations easier. Do this by clicking first on cell B4 to select it and then by clicking inside the formula bar.  Type "=IPMT(B2,1,1,-B1)" in the formula bar. Press the Enter key. The daily interest earned on this account, for the first month, is $.1370 per day.

Article in English: This includes the expected size of the audience, as well as their age, gender, educational background, and socioeconomic status. It’s also important to know their level of knowledge about the topic you’re presenting. Finally, consider how the audience views you and what they will likely expect to gain from your presentation.  For example, will you be presenting to people who are relatively new to the topic, or are you speaking at a professional event where people will have some familiarity? You’ll need to adjust your material to fit their needs. You want to avoid talking over people’s heads, but you also want to avoid giving them a lot of information they already know. Similarly, your presentation will differ depending on how the audience views you. If they see you as an expert on the topic, your speech should convey that knowledge and authority. You can think about the tone of your speech as the mood of the speech. It will be determined by the audience, occasion, topic, and purpose of your speech. You’ll also want to consider your personality, as you’ll want to use a tone that’s natural for you.  If your topic is serious in nature, you may use a grave tone. Alternatively, you might choose a humorous tone for a speech delivered at a celebratory dinner. Generally you can use a conversational tone for any speech, regardless of the topic or size of the audience. Most important is to be authentic! Keep in mind that you don't need to use the same tone for your entire speech. For example, your presentation may start out serious but end with a fun, interactive segment. In this case, you'd want to adjust your tone as the presentation progressed. If you’re already an expert on your topic, then you may be able to compose your speech from memory or from your own notes. However, it’s important to do research if there are any gaps in your knowledge. Keep in mind that the audience may notice those gaps and ask questions. Also, audience members may appreciate statistics and facts that back up your points.  If you know a lot...

Summary in Russian:

Учитывайте свою аудиторию. Определите уместный тон речи. Проведите необходимые исследования. Составьте план речи. Придумайте «наживку», чтобы увлечь слушателей. Добавьте забавные истории и шутки. Предусмотрите вопросы слушателей. Подготовьте презентационные материалы вроде карточек с заметками. Проявляйте гибкость.


Article in English: This includes the sheets and blankets you use for sleeping or resting.  Try to use as few layers as possible. If it’s the winter and you have your furnace on, consider temporarily turning down the temperature to keep your home cool while you recover. If it isn’t winter and you cannot turn down the temperature, try using a fan instead.  Misting yourself occasionally with water while you're in front of the fan also feels wonderful. Tepid water is considered water that is at 85 °F or 30 °C.  Baths are better than showers as you get to immerse yourself in the water, but showers are okay if you do not have a bathtub.  Do not bathe or shower in ice-cold water. Do not use (rubbing) alcohol in an attempt to cool your skin. There are several methods you can use to get something cool enough to put on your forehead, face or the back of your neck.  You can run a washcloth under cool or cold water, place an icepack or ice cubes inside a washcloth or towel (this method will last longer), or wet a washcloth and put it in the freezer before using it. Try making a rice pack and placing it in the freezer. This can be made with a cloth bag and dry rice or purchased as-is. Before bed, soak your feet in hot water.  Then wet a pair of cotton socks in cold water and put them on.  Put a pair of thicker socks overtop of your wet socks.  Go to bed.  This is not recommended for diabetics, as they do not have good circulation or sensation in their feet. Some skincare manufacturers make products for your feet that contain mint.  When applied to your feet they make the skin feel cool.  Use a lotion, cream or gel like this on your feet throughout the day to help cool you down.

Summary in Russian:

Носите одежду из мягких и легких тканей. Выключите отопление. Примите ванну или душ в едва теплой воде. Положите на шею холодный компресс или пакеты со льдом. Лягте спать в мокрых носках.


Article in English: This includes things like the activities you’re doing, events that happen, and accomplishes you make. Use your journal to record what your life is like right now so you can look back on it later.  This is a great way to help you document things you want to remember. For instance, you might write about something funny that happened at lunch, scoring the winning goal in a soccer game, or a fight you had with your friend. The events can be positive or negative. Write about what you’re going through, how you feel, and what you hope will happen in the future. Let your journal be an emotional release for you so that you can deal with your emotions better. Let’s say you’re feeling sad because you’re going through a breakup. You could write about how you feel and what you’ll miss about the relationship. This will help you release your feelings so you can start to feel better. If you’re trying to get in the habit of journaling or have to keep a personal journal for school, writing prompts can help you find something to write about. Look for prompts online, then pick 1 that triggers your imagination. Here are some prompts to get you started:  Write about what you’d like to do this weekend. Discuss a place you’d like to visit. Pretend that you found a fantasy creature. Write about something you want to change. Write from the perspective of your favorite book or movie character. If you’re keeping a journal for high school or college, write about your coursework. This includes readings, lectures, and class discussions. Additionally, discuss your thoughts about what you’re learning. Here are some things to include in a journal entry for school:  A summary of a reading or lecture. Your analysis of the course material. Connections between topics you’ve studied. Personal connections you made with the coursework. Questions you have about the text or lecture.

Summary in Russian:

Напишите о том, что происходит в вашей жизни. Изучите свои эмоции или чувства по отношению к чему-либо. Используйте писательские подсказки, если вы не знаете, о чем писать. Записывайте свои реакции на лекции и прочитанные материалы в дневнике для учебы.


Article in English: This includes things such as groceries, utilities, and clothing. Essentials are things you absolutely cannot do without. You cannot survive without groceries, for example, while you can survive without spending $1000 on clothing each month (even if you don't feel that way!). This will probably work best if you use a monthly income.  If you are on salary, this is usually pretty easy. However, if you are part-time, unemployed, or a dependent, this may be a bit more difficult. Most likely, your best route is to take your monthly income or budget for the last three months and take an average.  While this may not be spot on, it will likely be close enough for you to rely on to make ends meet. When you have to estimate your income, remember to remove the amount that you would reserve for taxes. Depending on how much you make, it may look like you have a bit more money than you actually do before you pay your dues to Uncle Sam. To do this, record what you bought, how much you spent, and where you bought your goods/services from.  This does not have to be extremely detailed. “$100 on groceries at Walmart” will suffice. Once again, this will probably be best from a monthly standpoint. See how much you've spent on all of your essential items and non-essential items as well. If this is hard to track because you pay for a lot of things in cash (and good for you if you do!) or just can't keep your bills straight, then you can start tracking your expenditures for the current or next month instead. See how you fare. If you are significantly in the green, then you’re doing fine! However, if your income and expenditures are equal, then you're not saving any money, and if your expenditures are much higher than your income, then you have a problem. Of course, if you're a student and currently don't have an income, then this will naturally happen, but you can still think about how you can spend less money in the future. See where your money is going! Start by categorizing your purchases. Make “Essentials” one category. The rest...

Summary in Russian:

Создайте список предметов первой необходимости. Оцените свой доход. Записывайте все расходы. Сравните доходы с расходами. Оцените свои расходы. Уберите все лишнее. Повысьте доход, если это необходимо. Поставьте цели по экономии денег. Откладывайте на случай непредвиденных обстоятельств.


Article in English: This includes things that take up space and cost money. People who successfully work and travel are usually comfortable with living light rather than being loaded down with possessions. If you have an expensive car that requires expensive insurance, you will be required to always make money to pay for that car. Having less possessions means you have more freedom to make enough to live and travel as you like. Living in a large home was a huge part of the American Dream for so long, but now more and more people are realizing the benefits of inhabiting smaller spaces. The smaller the space is, the less room you have for excessive material possessions too, so it will aid you in the whole process of downsizing your life. Living in a smaller home means less maintenance for you, less stress about the upkeep of your home, and probably less money each month in rent or mortgage. Having the freedom to travel because of learning to live with less often means getting rid of your financial ties to your current home location. It is much easier to travel freely when you don’t have a mortgage, credit card debt, or a car payment weighing you down and always pulling you back home.  Try to limit your spending on frivolous luxuries so that you can put some extra money toward your debt each month. This will help you pay it off sooner so you can have more freedom to travel. If you plan on traveling for extended periods of time, it might even make sense to sell some of your possessions in order to pay your debts down. For example, if you wanted to move abroad for a while, you might sell your car (since you won’t be using it anyways) to help you get your debt to a manageable level. We live in a consumer culture that is obsessed with always looking for the next big thing – the newest car, the biggest house, the nicest clothes, etc. If you maintain these kinds of expectations and desires for your life, it will be hard for you to be satisfied by living with less.  Work on realizing that happiness isn’t achieved through material...

Избавьтесь от лишних вещей. Переселитесь в дом меньшего размера. Избавьтесь от долгов. Измените свои ожидания.


Article in English: This includes “Ja” (ya) for “yes” and “Nein” (nine) for “no” as well as:  "Wie bitte?" (vee bitteh), "pardon me?" "Es Tut mir leid!" (ess toot mere lied), "I am sorry!" “Entschuldigung!” (ehnt-shool-dig-ung), “Excuse me!” While technically speaking, saying “thank you” in German has a formal/informal distinction, a simple “Danke!” (dank-eh), or “thanks!” is absolutely fine to be used in any situation.  If you are curious, the full formal version is “Ich danke Ihnen” (ich dank-eh eenin), while the informal is “Ich danke dir” (ich dank-eh deer).  The word for “please” is “Bitte!” (bittuh). The same phrase doubles as “you’re welcome!” If you want to know if something is available at a store, restaurant, etc., then simply ask “Haben Sie [insert item]?” (hah-ben zee), or “Do you have [insert item]?” For example, “Haben Sie Kaffee?” (hah-ben zee cah-fay), “Do you have coffee?” If you want to know how much something you see costs, then ask “Wie viel kostet das?” (vee feel cost-et dahs). If you are lost, need to find something, or otherwise need help, a few phrases will come in handy.  To ask for help: “Können Sie mir helfen, bitte?” (coon-en zee mere helf-en bit-teh), “Could you help me, please?” To ask for a location: “Wo ist [insert place]?” (Voh ihst), “Where is [insert place]?” For example, “Wo ist die Toilette, bitte?” (Voh ihst die Toil-et-eh, bit-teh), “Where is the restroom?” or “Wo ist der Bahnhof?” (Voh ihst dare Bahn-hof), “Where is the train station?” To be polite, introduce the question by saying: “Entschuldigen Sie, bitte, wo ist der Bahnhof?” (ent-shool-dig-ung zee bit-tuh, voh ihst dare bahn-hof), “Excuse me, please, where is the train station?” To ask if someone speaks another language: “Sprechen Sie Englisch?” (or Spanisch/Französisch, etc.) (shpreh-chen zee english/shpanish/fran-zoo-tzish, etc.), “Do you speak English/Spanish/French?” German numbers generally work much the same as English numbers. The main exception is for numbers 21 and above: you say “einunzwanzig” (ayn-uhnd-tsvahn-tsich),...

Article in English: This increases the control over the host’s brain. Tendrils will mesh with the frontal lobe, the conscious thought-center, and gain the ability to mentally manipulate the host. Hormone production will be altered, lowering maturity and the levels of hygiene, and increasing the infection of Neurax. This will unlock the next gene, which will lead people to losing their minds—this will direct you to the mind control gene later on. Mania Excess Serotonin production triggers manic episodes, leading to increased contact with others and the inability to focus. This also affects the productivity of people in creating a cure. Severe damage to orbital cortex triggers OCD—forcing the host to be obsessed over a specific worm-related take. This increases infectivity and severity of Neurax. Surges of Dopamine and Serotonin compel the host to constantly think about the worm and trigger intense rushes of pleasure. Overdose of oxytocin and vasopressin forces the host into a permanent state of worship or acceptance, treating the Neurax Worm as an eternal god. People who are infected will halt their research for the cure. This will have the infected people focus on spreading the worm to citizens that are yet to be infected. The game will soon end after 400 days or more with the humanity worshiping an ancient worm.
