The large field of creative writing splits into subcategories (fiction, poetry, creative-nonfiction) and there are even specialized genres (sci-fi, mysteries, experimental… the list goes on).  Figure out what you want to write.  Write what you would want to read. Your best writing will spring forth from something that you, and maybe only you, are passionate about.  When your passion is injected into your writing, your readers will, in turn, be interested. Your passion for your individual writing project is a powerful tool that will serve well as a starting point. Remember that you don’t have to limit yourself to a single field. Many established writers spread out and explore—perhaps they write creative essays while publishing their creative non-fiction work.  Maybe their short novels have poems inside of them. Establish a particular time of day, location, and atmosphere for your writing sessions. As you establish this routine, the creative side of your brain will become accustomed to working in these familiar conditions. Things to consider are…  Noise: some writers enjoy absolute quiet.  Others will listen to music to jog their creative juices. Others will want the company of friends to bounce ideas. Time: Some writers jot down thoughts just before they sleep. Early mornings hours work well for others, as fewer people are awake to bother them. Other writers may enjoy being badgered, and therefore write in between coffee break or other work sessions. Other writers will like long periods of undisturbed writing time, and dedicate their weekends to writing. Location: establishing a particular building, room, or even chair can help the writing process. This familiarity will train your brain to work creatively, or technically, to suit your goals. Reread the things you have enjoyed and study them—figure out what makes them effective, what makes them work.  Try to understand the structure of your favorite poem, or the evolution of the characters in your favorite novel.  Find a sentence that you think is great, and...

The larger the tackle box, the more fishing tackle it can hold, but the larger the box, the bulkier it is, and the heavier it is to carry. A large tackle box is not practical if you do a lot of hiking and backpacking to your destination. Likewise, a small tackle box may not be practical on a long fishing trip where you can expect to encounter a number of different conditions.  If you normally wade into a lake or stream to fish, you'll want a small tackle box you can carry on your person, such as small metal or plastic box that slips into a pocket of your shirt or waders or one that clips to your belt. You may also have a larger tackle box on shore from which you trade out lures to the one you carry on your person or keep equipment for tying flies on location when trying to "match the hatch." If you normally hike some distance to your fishing spots or fish in farm ponds, you'll also want a smaller tackle box. You may find a traditional single-tray or 2-tray box satisfactory, you may prefer the pocket or clip-on tackle boxes used by wading fishermen, or you may prefer a soft-side tackle box that can be carried over the shoulder. If you normally fish from a boat, a larger tackle box may be called for, particularly when fishing for bass, walleye, or muskellunge, when you may want to carry a large selection of, or in the case of fishing for muskie, very large lures. Larger tackle boxes typically have at least 3 trays, and sometimes 2 sets of 3 trays each that open in either direction, and a large bottom to hold extra line, small reels, sinker boxes, spinnerbait racks, and other fishing equipment. If you normally fly to your destination, such as to a remote lake in Canada, you want a tackle box large enough to hold your most important gear, but not large enough to require extra handling fees. It should also be sturdy enough and have a secure enough latching system to handle rough handling before and during the flight. If most of your fishing is done from the bank or a lake or stream in a park or other public access...

The last resume you submitted to your company does not include your current position. It is important to add this experience to your resume so you can look good on paper and present your value to the company.  Be sure to add your key duties and accomplishments, including any quantifiable results. For example, “Implemented new tracking system to reduce mistakes by 30%”. Depending on how your company handles the hiring process, you may need to either apply for your job by submitting your resume and/or filling out an application form (online or paper).  Whatever the case may be, it is important to complete all requirements in their entirety. This means answering all questions and providing all information necessary. Once you have followed the application procedure, it is time to wait until you are called to interview for your job. At this time it is important to be patient. This is a lot of work for those running this procedure and they have to figure out all the details before reaching out to applicants for an interview. It will not look favorable if you keep asking about your potential interview.

TL;DR in Russian:

The last thing you want is to add to your friend’s negativity by being too critical or hostile. If you would like to tell your friend that you think he is seeing a situation more negatively than necessary, think about the best way to say this. Use "I"-statements rather than "you"-statements. For example, “Quit being so negative” is going to have less of a positive effect than “I feel like there’s more to the situation than you’re seeing.” "I"-statements sound less judgmental, which can make the other person more open to hearing what you have to say. What you say isn’t the only important factor. Tone and nonverbal cues are just as important. Yelling or throwing your hands up in defeat are going to increase negativity in the room rather than work to fight the fire effectively.  Gentle eye contact and nodding along to what your friend is saying, if you agree, are great ways to create a positive interaction. Maintain an even tone of voice. Staying calm when your friend blows up may help her realize that there's more than one way to respond to a problem. Research shows that speaking slowly causes people to perceive you as “more caring and sympathetic.” In order to communicate with a negative friend in a way that promotes positivity and keeps you from falling into the same negativity, pay attention to how fast you are speaking. You want to be compassionate and positive in your approach, but that’s not the same thing as allowing yourself to be stepped on. Sometimes a negative friend may try to override your opinions. Maintain a firm stance when it comes to your freedom to express yourself and have a differing point of view. Assertiveness is about meeting the needs of everyone involved, not just one person.  Clearly express your desires, wants, and needs. Use direct language that can’t be contradicted. For example, say “The way that you’re acting right now makes me uncomfortable. I’m going to leave, but we can talk later if you want.” Include empathy. For example, “I understand that you want to keep talking about...

The last thing you want to do is to tear a hole into your wall only to find that it's not feasible to put a door there. Before you go about drilling and tearing down, check for the following things:  Check if there's enough room in the wall. You need just over twice the width of the door (so it can hide). Check if the wall is load-bearing or just a partition. If it is load bearing, you'll need a new header and a means of temporary support while the door is being worked on. Check for wiring or plumbing. A wall with pipes in it is not a good place to put a door. Wiring can be easily detected with a cheap voltage sensor. If you're replacing a door with a pocket door, you'll need to get rid of the existing door. Start with removing the molding and, with a reciprocating saw blade, cut the shims. When the nails are cut, you can remove the door frame. Door jambs aren't nailed against the studs in the wall – they're just spaced with wooden shims.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте стену. Удалите существующую дверь, если это возможно.


The last thing you want to do is write an article that does not have accurate details or information. Double-check how names are spelled, the order of events, and other pertinent details. Not all feature writers do this, and in fact, some may argue that this can detract from the journalistic quality of a piece. But many subjects often want to see their article before it is printed in order to make sure they feel they are represented properly and fairly. You can choose to incorporate or not incorporate their suggestions. Do not detract from your feature article with misspelled words and poor grammar. Consult "The Elements of Style," which is the standard for proper grammar usage. Consult "The Associated Press Stylebook" for style guidelines, such as how to format numbers, dates, street names, and so on. Ask a friend or colleague to read through the article. Your editor will also give you feedback. Be open to this feedback and don’t take it personally. They want you to write a good, solid article, and will give you advice on how to change, clarify or expand on what you’ve already written in order to make the best article possible. Your publication might write headlines for you, but if you want the initial entry into the article to be reflective of your content, write a headline that does so. The headline is short and to the point, using no more than about 10-15 words, if that. A headline should be action-oriented and should convey why the story is important. It should grab the reader and draw them into the article. If you want to convey slightly more information, write a sub-headline, which is a secondary sentence that builds on the headline. Make sure your article is submitted to your editor or to the publication on or before the deadline. Late articles usually do not get printed, and then all of your hard work will either be delayed until the next issue or not published at all.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте точность информации. Покажите статью фигурантам истории. Проверьте орфографию и грамматику. Соберите отзывы о статье. Придумайте заголовок. Подайте статью в указанный срок.

The lease attaches to straps around the dog's muzzle so that when the dog pulls, its head will be forced around, facing you. Attaching the leash to the dog's muzzle automatically redirects its focus toward you. When training your dog, try using a slip or choke collar under the supervision of a trained expert. These collars will tighten around the dog’s neck if they pull on the leash, effectively choking them. Using these collars for training will help your dog associate pulling with being choked.  While these collars can effective for training a dog, many experts argue that they are dangerous or unnecessary. It is recommended that you never use a choke collar unless under the direct supervision of animal behaviorist.  These collars work by using negative reinforcement. Most dog training experts suggest that your dog will respond better to positive reinforcement that it will to negative reinforcement- so keep that in mind when considering using this training tool. These collars are for training only. Never leave this collar on your dog or use it as a substitute for their regular collar. These collars are controversial, so consider the arguments for or against choke collars before deciding to try this method. These harnesses attach to the dog's collar with a clip and are fastened across the dog's underbelly.  It works through attaching your leash to the front chest strap, which means you will gain more control over your dog. When your dog pulls on its leash, it will be guided back towards you, naturally and gently discouraging him from pulling. The leash attachment at the chest prevents putting any pressure on your dog’s throat and neck, which is especially important as this could cause tracheal damage. Run the dog to tire it out before attaching the leash and going for a walk. A tired dog is far more manageable and will be more responsive to your commands during the walk. Try playing fetch in the yard for 10 minutes before going on a walk. End training sessions on a happy success moment. Don't end it when...

The least confrontational option, this could also cause the person to wonder about who sent the note in the first place.  But as long as you word the note kindly, the point will be made.  Just be sure to place the note somewhere where no one else could accidentally come across it, as this will embarrass the person unnecessarily. Leaving gum, mints, or a breath freshening kit that includes a toothbrush, mouthwash, and tongue scraper is a great way to anonymously let the person know there is a problem with their breath.  Leave it in their locker, desk, car, or somewhere where they can find it in private.  You could even make it seem like a gift if you wrapped it up or included a nice card! Bad breath is so common that there are now many sites that allow you to send someone an email about their breath, along with tips for dealing with bad breath, anonymously.  This is a great way to not only let the person know, but also to provide them with some information so that they can treat the problem proactively.  Try one of these sites or look one up yourself!  http://www.therabreath.com/tellafriend.asp http://nooffenseoranything.com/badbreath.html http://www.colgate.com/app/SIS/BadBreath/US/EN/Quiz.cwsp While not technically “anonymous” since someone would be saying something directly, this can be a great way for you to remain unidentified in the process, which can be ideal if you’re trying to tell your boss or someone you don’t know well.  By asking one of their friends or relatives to speak to them about the problem, you can help solve the issue without any of the ordeal.

The leaves have a hot, peppery taste. Simply chop them up and add to the salad. The leaves make an ideal substitute for watercress. The flowers come in a range of colours from gold and orange to red. These can make a beautiful feature in a salad, with the bonus that they're edible too.

The leaves of collard greens should be a very dark green. However, the leaves will have light colored veins and stems. The leaves of collard greens can have almost a waxy finish, which is a natural way they deter insects. Good collard greens are firm and crisp. Firmness will show you that the collard greens are relatively fresh and that they have been stored properly in the store, as well as while being transported from the field to the store. Pick up the greens and bend them a little bit. They should be firm and not floppy. Discoloration is a sign that the collard greens are past their prime. Even though you may be stewing the greens, buying collard greens that are discolored will result in a sub-par finished product. In a bunch of collard greens there may be one or two leaves that were slightly damaged and thus are a bit discolored. It's also not uncommon to have a few holes in collard greens due to hungry bugs. If the majority of the leaves look good, however, then the collards are probably just fine to purchase.

TL;DR in Russian:

The lemon oil will remove chalk dust from your chalkboard, leaving it smooth and clean and free of residue.  Lemon oil comes from the rinds of a lemon, and some people use it to clean guitar fingerboards as well. It’s anti-bacterial, and who doesn’t love a fresh lemony smell!  Place two teaspoons of lemon oil on a dry cloth. Fold the cloth into a square, and put it into a sealed plastic bag. Lemon oil will also make your chalkboard shinier.  After letting it sit for a day, remove the cloth from the plastic bag, and wipe the blackboard with the lemon-oil covered cloth. Try putting two cloths in the bag so you have another one for the next day as you should clean the chalkboard daily. Coke sounds like it would make your chalkboard sticky and unusable, but a lot of people have used the soda product as a cleaning agent, and they report that it cleans chalkboards more thoroughly than water.  Pour a half cup of Coke into a bowl. Take a damp cloth, and dip it into the bowl, getting some of the Coke on the cloth. Any brand of soda should work, though, including Pepsi or diet soda. Take the Coke-covered cloth, and wipe it on the chalkboard. People who have tried this report that it dries without leaving behind chalk dust. It’s also probably not going to make your chalkboard sticky unless you use too much. Dab the cloth into it. You don’t want enough Coke on the cloth that it’s dripping from the cloth. The soda may actually make it easier for chalk to adhere to the board. Try mixing water and white vinegar together, and use a cloth to wipe the chalkboard with it. Not only will this concoction smell good, but it will also prevent streaks.  White vinegar is the best choice because other vinegar (such as balsamic) has coloring that can harm the blackboard’s appearance. Add half a cup of vinegar to four cups of lukewarm water before putting a cloth into the mixture. Wipe the board down. Wring out the cloth before wiping the board so it’s not dripping wet. It’s best to let the chalkboard air dry when you’re done removing...

The length of time it will take to completely cook your meat is determined by the heat of the grill, the type of meat and the size of meat cut, but you should factor in at least 6 - 8 hours of cooking time - and sometimes many more. Check your recipe to determine about how long your meat will need to smoke. Pork and beef ribs typically take up to 8 hours, while a big cut of brisket could take 22. It's very important to look at your recipe to figure out how long your meat might cook, so you can plan ahead. You can either place it directly on the grill or put it in a shallow aluminum tray. Don't wrap the meat in foil, though, because this won't allow the smoke to touch the meat. You want it to be able to surround the meat during the cooking process.  The positioning of the meat will change according to what you're cooking. If you're make smoked brisket, for example, you'll need to place the meat side down and keep the fat side up. Be sure the meat isn't over direct heat. As mentioned, if you're using your grill as a smoker the hot coals should be scooted to the side of the grill so that the meat won't cook too quickly. Again, depending on what you're cooking, you might want to baste the meat to keep it moist throughout the cooking process. This technique is a popular choice for brisket and ribs. Read the recipe you're using to decide if basting is necessary. If you cook your meat low and slow, it should come out moist and tender whether you baste it or not. Smoking meat can be basted, or "mopped," with a thin solution such as water or a combination of water, vinegar and spices. It should be applied with a barbecue mop, which looks exactly like it sounds. Some smoking recipes follow a "3-2-1" process: the meat smokes for the first 3 hours, then you cover it with foil for the next 2 hours, and finish it uncovered in the last hour. The smoke flavor infuses the meat first, then the meat warms up internally during the second two hours, and finally develops a nice thick crust to finish. Check your recipe to determine...

The length of your sprint is up to you -- do you want to do it by distance or time? If you're aiming for interval training (which is a great idea), keep it to about 30 seconds. Interval training seems to be where it's at. If you're looking for a quick way to blast away calories with the strength of a zillion lightsabers or if you're just low on time, this is the workout for you. All you do is run SUPER FAST for about 30 seconds, slow down for a minute, and repeat. Continue the cycle for about 15 minutes, adjusting as you need to. And then ta da! Finished. Lunch break over. If you need water between sprints, take small sips.  Don't guzzle or gulp, even if it's tempting; consuming too much water in the middle of a run can lead to cramps. That being said, it's very important to stay hydrated. If you're not, you may experience dizziness or even fainting. If you don't drink water during your run, make sure to drink it before and after.

TL;DR in Russian:

Бегите. Попейте воды.


The less complicated, the easier it is to learn how to use the pattern. Always read the description on the pattern packaging when deciding whether or not the pattern interests you; it will contain guidance on the item, including suggestions for wearing or use. In addition to the overall description, the details about the garment or item are often on the back of the pattern envelope and will help guide you on fit and style. On the pattern you buy you should find an image of the completed item. Most patterns will include a photograph of the completed garment or item on the front of the pattern, with illustrations on the back. If there are variations such as different sleeve lengths, different styles, different collars, etc., the images will usually show these. When trying to get an idea of how a finished garment will look, refer to the photographs over drawings, as they're more realistic. On the package, there should be some indicator of difficulty level. Some pattern companies give an indication of the suitability from beginner to advanced. Trust this estimation and don't bite off more than you can chew. Don't try anything that needs to be lined with another fabric; that's too advanced for the beginner. Start with simple pieces like A-line skirts or basic tops, and work on things like this until you are very comfortable with your skills. On the back of the pattern, you'll be instructed as to which fabric will suit the sewing project. You will note that some patterns suggest a range of fabric types, as well as warnings for fabrics that are not suitable. This gives you leeway to purchase fabric that you like, or that's within budget, etc., as well as forewarning you that you will may have a bad experience if you try to use fabric not suited for the pattern in question! The amount of fabric will also be noted; this is important as it gives you an indication of the cost if you need to buy it, or can help you to decide whether you've enough fabric at home already. These are the extras required to complete the...

The less fit you are, the more slowly you will need to ease into your workout routine, but the quicker you will see gains. If you are already very fit, you will have to work extremely hard to further improve your cardiovascular fitness. Before you can determine your maximum heart rate – a key number for creating efficient workouts - you’ll need to estimate your overall fitness level. Remember to start low and go slow. You do not want to overdo your workouts initially. This prevents injury and allows your body to catch up.  Poor Shape – If you do not exercise at all, or have not exercised in the last eight weeks. Remember: it does not matter how thin you are. You can be very thin and still in poor cardiovascular condition. Average Shape – You participate in any aerobic activity – walking, running, biking, swimming, rowing, etc. – 3 times a week for 20 minutes. Good Shape – You run or walk at least 5 miles a week, and have regular training sessions that total over 1 hour a week. Your HRmax is just what it sounds like: the fastest your heart can beat while exercising. It is the baseline for determining the heart rate ranges you will want to hit while working out, and differs for different types of exercise – highest while running and lower while biking and swimming.  The traditional way to calculate your HRmax is to subtract your age from 220. However, this method can be off by as many as 20 beats per minute (bpm).  The HeartZones “best fit” formula to find your running HRmax: 210 minus 50% of your age minus 5% of your body weight (pounds) + 4 if male and 0 if female.  Or try the following formula: 217 – (.85 x age) and then add/subtract as follows: Subtract 3 beats for athletes in excellent shape under 30. Add 2 beats for a 50 year old athlete in excellent shape. Add 4 beats for athletes in excellent shape who are 55 and older. Subtract 3 beats for rowing training. Subtract 5 beats for bicycle training. There are two options for the SubMax test:  The 1 Mile Walking Test – Walk four continuous laps on a track as...

The less reactive you are to provocations, the more you can use your better judgment to handle the challenge. When you feel upset with or challenged by someone, before you say or do something you might later regret, take a deep breath and count slowly to ten.  This includes avoiding all forms of criticality and defensiveness. Yelling back is just another, readily available way to respond in a reactive rather than a proactive way. Being critical of the yeller or challenging what he/she is saying will provoke them further. Besides, when we are being yelled at we don’t typically think well. This is because we are being put in a state of fear. If you’re being yelled at, you are never absolutely stuck in the situation. This applies equally to strangers who lose their cool in line at the store as it does to your boss and your significant other. So, detach from the moment enough to think about whether or not you have to wait out the yelling.  You might decide that escaping the moment is not worth losing your job over, but you may want to open up other options if the yelling seems like a hopelessly recurring phenomenon, or if the person yelling is not important enough to endure. Research has shown that yelling is just as harmful and ineffective when it is done “out of love”. This means that regardless of the yeller’s intentions, you are being subject to treatment that is never ideal or even appropriate. When we are yelling, it is because we are so overwhelmed by something that we cannot come up with a way to handle it except regressing to the use of brute force.  If you gratify what the yeller is saying with a thoughtful response or rebuttal, you are affirming this type of communication. If you find yourself silently poking holes in the yeller’s arguments and complaints in your head, allow yourself to do so. This may be your way of showing yourself that you are in control and have the upper hand in the situation. But, be careful that you don’t get so focused on your thoughts that you are unable to observe. Let...

TL;DR in Russian:

The less time you've got to spend around others, the more introverted your existence will become by necessity. If you think you benefit from living a more introverted lifestyle, try to pursue interests, jobs, and hobbies that will allow you to live that way and work at your most productive. The following jobs are all good for introverts:  Computer programming Writing and editing Research scientists Court reporters Archival work or library science Extroverts are multi-takers, while introverts prefer diving into one task and seeing it through to completion. try to prioritize your time to keep focused on each thing you need to do before you move on to the next. Introverts generally dislike small talk, preferring to dig deeper and have more serious, intellectual, or hard-hitting conversations. This also applies to the type of work and creative projects introverts like to take on. Next time you're working on a project for work or school, don't be satisfied with merely doing "enough," or with doing what's expected of you. Go above and beyond. Put your own creative twist on the project, putting some extra effort into it. Introverts prefer working alone instead of working with others on group projects. If you often value the help of others, try taking on a project all by yourself next time and seeing if you can't do it without extra help. This might help increase your confidence and allow you to rely on yourself more in the future, even if it's necessary to work with others in some cases.  Get what you can from collaborations. Often, you'll have to work with others, and introverts shouldn't reject the talents and abilities of others, just because they prefer working alone. Learn to negotiate group projects without controlling them, taking the help offered and delegating separate tasks, so you can also have some alone time.  Be self-sufficient. The less you need to ask for help, the less you'll have to rely on the help of others.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте карьеру и увлечения, которые не требуют частого взаимодействия с людьми. Фокусируйтесь на одном деле. Копайте глубже. Работайте в одиночку и берите ответственность на себя.


The level of emotional intimacy makes a huge difference when it comes to what you should and should not say to someone after surgery. If you're close, it's easier to ask questions without hesitation and be more open expressing how you feel. If it's a more formal friendship, or just a new one, be natural and warm but do not let the seriousness of a surgery push you to say something that might make you both uncomfortable. Stick to small talk, like "How are you feeling?" and "Do you need any help with anything today?" There's a good chance your friend is not feeling their best in the wake of an operation. Oftentimes, we feel people need a pep talk or positive reassurance. While this is well-intentioned, it can be frustrating to a friend who simply wants to express their thoughts. Let your friend talk, and accept their feelings with patience and empathy.  Avoid phrases like "I understand" or "I know how you feel." It's hard to truly understand a situation you are only experiencing secondhand. Instead, say something like "I can understand how you would feel that way. Tell me more." Do not say things like "You shouldn't feel that way" or "Cheer up." Such phrases come off as judgmental if someone is feeling discouraged. Instead, say, "I'm sorry you feel that way, can you tell me why?" and other words that let your friend know you're listening. Active listening is when you make a conscious effort to hear what another person is saying and to understand the message being sent. If you're helping a friend after surgery, they are the priority and you need to make this clear. Your friend might need to vent, so try to be a patient and active listener post-surgery.  Pay attention. Give your friend your full attention by looking at them directly, putting aside distracting thoughts, engaging with their body language, and avoiding being distracted by the environment.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о том, насколько тесны ваши отношения с человеком, который перенес операцию. Позвольте вашему другу испытывать те эмоции, которые он чувствует. Будьте активным слушателем. Задавайте подходящие вопросы. Обратите внимание на то, что ваш друг может сильно переживать из-за операции. Узнайте, как правильно справляться со страхом и переживаниями, связанными с операцией.


The lid switch is the part on top-loading washing machines, that sends the machine a signal indicating that the door is closed and that it is safe for the machine to run. It should be an oblong hole that is aligned so that a rod on the inside of the door will fit into it. Because this part takes a lot of wear and tear, it is prone to break. Thus, it is one of the most common reasons why washing machines stop at the spin cycle. You can often guess from appearance and touch whether the lid switch is broken. The switch should be level with the top panel that it is on. If it sags, it is likely broken. Similarly, you can touch the lid switch to see if the spring underneath is functioning properly. If you press down on the lid switch and it does not give or spring back into place, then there is likely a problem with the lid switch. The process for removing a lid switch depends upon the model of washer. Review the instruction guide for directions on how to remove it or google “remove lid switch” and the model number and serial number for your washing machine. When you remove the lid switch, leave the wires attached. Be sure to unplug the washing machine before unscrewing any components. Put your multimeter on continuity mode. Find the connector to the lid switch. Unplug it and place the multimeter in the two outer connectors on the lid switch so that they touch the metal inside. Press down on the lid switch and test for continuity. The multimeter should recognize continuity when you press the lid switch down, as would happen if the door were closed, but should not recognize continuity if the button is not pressed down. Lid switches can be purchased online. They typically cost $10-20. Call your manufacturer and tell them the model number of the washing machine, so that they can direct you to lid switches that are compatible with your machine. You will need to consult the instructions for your specific model to determine how to replace the lid switch. However, if you have already removed the previous lid switch, it...

The life of an archaeologist seems glamorous in Indiana Jones, but that's because there are no scenes of him revising 30-page research articles about tertiary religious ceremonies in ancient Sumeria for an editing review with an academic journal so he can get tenure. Before you go off digging African velociraptors, you have to lay the ground work for success. There's no way to "major in Adventure," but you can study something that will allow you to travel and give you the foundations for doing what you want.  If you're interested in scientific adventures, study biology or other related life sciences. Chemistry will keep you in the lab and on the computer, while marine biology will get you into the field. If you're interested in travel, hospitality and tourism programs would be a smart investment. Study a foreign language as an added bonus in marketing yourself down the road. If you're interested in outdoor sports or other activities that involve being in nature, ecology programs with all sorts of specialities are available all over the country. Talk to an academic advisor to find out what's right for you. After graduating, you can apply for Fulbright Fellowship or other grant program to fund a research or teaching experience in another country. They field all manner of different project ideas, from teaching music forms in Russia to poetry in South America. If college isn't in the cards for you, never fear. Keeping yourself informed about your intended adventurous field doesn't necessarily need to be any more complicated than getting a library card and doing the work yourself. Developing a good set of skills, like videography or photography can likewise be a particularly useful skill. Someone needs to know how to operate those high-definition video cameras in the arctic. Why not you? One great way to have a guaranteed and semi-organized experience abroad for up to two years is to sign up for the Peace Corps. This can be a good way to pay back student loans, develop the skills necessary to travel, and build...

The ligation method involves tying a piece of thread around the base of the skin tag, cutting off circulation and causing it to die and fall off.   Any piece of thin string will do, but suturing thread and dental floss are two common options. Other options include fine fishing line, or even small rubber bands. This is a good option for people who are squeamish about cutting the tag themselves or reluctant to pay for treatments at the doctor's office. There is no blood and it is completely painless. This is the tricky part, especially when the skin tag is on your neck. If you opt to do it yourself with the aid of a mirror, you may be able to lasso the tag by carefully placing the loop of a slipknot over it. Pull to secure, ensuring it's tight enough to cut off the blood supply. This may take some practice and persistence as the loop tends to slide off the skin tag as you pull the knot tight. If this is the case, your best option may be to enlist the help of a friend. Leave the string tied around the skin tag, tightening it if necessary. As the skin tag's blood supply is cut off, the tag will dry out and soon fall off.  Be aware that the size of the skin tag, and how well you tie it off, may affect how quickly it drops off. When it falls off, the skin beneath will already have healed, so there will be no need for disinfection or bandages. If your tied-off skin tag is visible or easily chafed by your clothing, you may wish to cover it with a small bandage while waiting for it drop off.  Chafing may cause irritation, redness or inflammation of the skin immediately around the skin tag. By preventing further chafing and irritation, the redness and inflammation will subside relatively quickly.

TL;DR in Russian:

Достаньте немного ниток для сшивания или зубной нити. Завяжите нить вокруг основания кожного нароста. Оставьте нить на наросте на пару дней. Избегайте раздражения.


The lighting in a bedroom can make a huge difference in how small or large it feels and whether or not it comes off as "polished." To create a relaxing, comfortable bedroom in which you actually want to spend downtime, try making these changes:  Use minimal window coverings. Avoid having blinds, which block out too much light and make a room feel closed-in even when they're open. Go for breezy, light curtains in a neutral color instead. Hanging them a few inches above the top of the window can make the windows look bigger and increase the perceived scale of the room.  Choose a bright table or floor lamp. Overhead lights seem to spotlight the flaws in a room, making it feel cramped and uncomfortable. It's worth buying a floor lamp or side table lamp bright enough to light the whole room instead. Light, natural hues like white, cream, pale yellow, pale blue, or another neutral shade will help make the room look bigger and brighter. Choose a color that doesn't contrast too much with the shade of your floor. Paint the ceiling white as well.  If you love bold colors, consider painting the walls a neutral color and using a bolder trim. You could also paint just one wall in a bold color (or paper it with a brightly patterned wallpaper) and paint the other walls a lighter color. Consider adding color and interest by  making a stenciled border around the perimeter of the room. You may not even need wall art if you go this route. You might be attracted to a duvet cover with a bright floral pattern, but in a small bedroom it will draw the eye and stick out from its surroundings. A better approach would be to get a bed covering in a more neutral hue and add throw pillows in bright contrasting colors for a decorative touch.  You could also add some color by choosing sheets with a fun pattern and making your bed so that the sheets are folded over the top of your neutral-colored comforter. Choose linens that aren't too frilly or bulky, since these take up more space.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, не пора ли поменять освещение. Покрасьте стены в светлые цвета. Выберите ткани с едва заметными узорами.


The liner is likely to be the dirtiest part of your cap, as it soaks up sweat and skin oils while wearing. Pick an enzyme-based laundry pre-spray and spritz some on to break down this type of grime.  Most modern baseball caps made in the last 10 years or so can be easily machine washed without issue. It's better to hand wash wool baseball caps. Older baseball caps tend to have cardboard brims. These caps should never be soaked completely in water. Instead, it's best to clean them with a spray bottle and washcloth. At this phase, treat your cap like any other type of laundry. Pair your cap with similarly-colored clothing and use whichever laundry detergent you prefer.  Wash with cold water for the best results. However, warm water should be fine, too. Do not use hot water when washing your cap. Do not use bleach. Once the wash cycle has finished, remove your cap and place it on a flat surface in a well-ventilated area. You may choose to position an electric fan nearby to speed up the drying process. Do not put your cap in the clothes dryer; it would likely shrink or lose its shape.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обработайте подкладку и внутренний периметр нижнего края бейсболки средством от пятен. Поместите бейсболку в стиральную машину вместе с остальным бельем. Оставьте бейсболку сохнуть.


The lip is the raised rim at the top of the bottle. Position the foil cutter so it’s resting on the top of the lip and squeeze it to cut the foil that’s covering the cork. You can find a foil cutter online or at your local wine store. Position the tip of the corkscrew on the cork so it’s a little off center. Push down and turn the corkscrew. Keep turning until you’re one turn away from the corkscrew being all the way inside of the cork. Then, pull up on the handle of the corkscrew with your fingers until the cork pops out of the bottle. Repeat on all the bottles of wine you’re serving. Insert the wine-stained side of the cork back into the bottle after you've poured some of the wine into a glass. Store the wines in the fridge when you're not drinking them. The cold temperature will slow down the rate at which the wines go bad. After 5 years, bottles of red wine can develop bitter-tasting sediment. Decanting separates the wine from the sediment. After you open the bottle of red wine, slowly pour the wine into a wine decanter. When you get to the last bit of wine in the bottle, carefully observe the inside of the neck of the bottle. When you see sediment start to accumulate on the neck, stop pouring. Pour your guests wine using the decanter. When the decanter is completely empty, refill it with another bottle of red wine.

TL;DR in Russian:

Срежьте фольгу с ободка бутылки ножом. Откупорьте вино штопором. Вставьте пробки в открытые бутылки, чтобы вино оставалось свежим. Переливайте вина от 5 лет и старше в графин.


The liquid that oozes from cold sores contains the virus and can infect others. Limiting or avoiding skin-to-skin contact can prevent cold sores from transmitting or making yours worse.  Abstain from oral sex and kissing, even if the blisters are only in your nose.  Keep your fingers and hands away from your eyes. Any time you have a cold sore, even if it is in your nose, wash your hands before touching yourself or someone else. This can keep the virus from spreading on your skin or to anyone else.  Wash with any type of soap, which can kill bacteria.  Lather the soap on your hands for at least 20 seconds.  Dry your hands completely with a clean or disposable towel. Whenever you have blisters present, avoid sharing items with other people. This can minimize the risk of spreading the virus to others and to other areas of your skin.  Keep a separate set of utensils, towels, and other linens when you have an outbreak.  Avoid using lip balms and personal items from other people. Stress, illness, fatigue may make you more prone to having an outbreak of cold sores. Manage stressful situations as much as you are able and make sure you are getting enough rest, especially when you are sick.  Organizing your day with a flexible schedule that incorporates time to relax can reduce your stress.  Avoid stressful situations if possible. Take deep breaths or try breathing exercises to help you relax.  Get regular exercise, which can also help reduce stress.  Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep per night.  Don't push yourself if you feel like you're getting sick. Make sure you get adequate rest and take time off work or school if you need to. If you begin seeing the symptoms of an outbreak, treat them promptly. This can reduce the amount of time your outbreak lasts and reduce its severity. If you begin to experience the telltale tingling or itching sensation that is often present before an outbreak, you may wish to begin treatment immediately. Call your doctor and ask for prescription to minimize and treat your outbreak.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ограничьте тактильные контакты с другими людьми или полностью воздерживайтесь от них. Чаще мойте руки. Пользуйтесь личными вещами. Справляйтесь со стрессом, болезнями и усталостью. Следите за симптомами вспышки герпеса.


The list gives you context on what kind of desserts you should try to alter for the holidays. Different religions and families practice different beliefs and have different traditions. Think about your traditions and make a list of customary desserts that your guests or family are used to eating around the holidays.  Cookies, pies, and cakes are conventional desserts in the United States.  Pastries, crepes, and semolina cakes and cookies are customary holiday desserts in North Africa.  In South America chocolate cake, ice cream, and brigadeiro are popular desserts.  In Korea, boiled fruits, and sweet dumplings are common holiday desserts. Visuals are important with desserts and can help evoke a feeling of the holidays. Decorate your cakes and desserts to reflect the holiday that you're celebrating. Use the color scheme for your holiday on cakes or other desserts. Add candy canes and snowmen for the winter holiday. Warm apples or eggnog are tastes that are usually associated with the winter holidays. Flavors like peppermint or gingerbread are also American winter holiday classics. Think of ingredients that remind you of your holiday and utilize it in your desserts.  During the winter holiday in Hungary, traditional ingredients include poppy seed paste and walnuts.   French macaroons consist of raspberry or lemon flavor with vanilla.  In Mexico, citrus pumpkin flan is a favorite during the holidays.

The liver aids both in glandular function and with other organ systems. It protects the body by detoxifying hormones, drugs, and any biological molecules not produced in the human body. The liver also synthesizes cholesterol and proteins that might otherwise lead to clotting and inflammation. It stores vitamins, minerals, and sugar while removing bacteria.  The liver is involved in several important body functions, so it can become taxed by overuse. It's very important to return an overburdened liver to healthy enzyme levels to ensure all of these processes continue to function normally. Partly because the liver performs so many essential functions, it is prone to a number of different diseases. There are a wide variety of diseases that can cause your liver enzyme levels to shoot up:  Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): fats such as triglycerides and cholesterol accumulate in the liver. Hepatitis viruses: Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E all have different causes. However, each different type of hepatitis infection taxes the liver. Other infections that burden the liver include mononucleosis, adenoviruses, and cytomegalovirus. Tick bites and parasites can cause harmful diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or toxoplasmosis. Cancer that is often related to previous viral infections and liver cirrhosis Alcoholic hepatitis Jaundice Cirrhosis or the late-stage scarring of the liver Because the liver is involved in so many different processes, there is no single list of symptoms that point to liver disease. However, every liver disorder has both unique and shared symptoms.  If you experience any of these symptoms, speak with your healthcare provider immediately:  Yellowish skin and eyes that suggest jaundice Abdominal pain and swelling Swelling in the legs and ankles Itchy skin Dark yellow or reddish urine color Pale stools or bloody, tarry stools Chronic fatigue Nausea or vomiting Loss of appetite Weight loss Dry mouth, increased thirst A tendency to...

The lizard that laid the eggs and the size of the eggs will determine what size container you use. Small eggs can be placed in deli cups or plastic containers. Medium-sized eggs can be place in sandwich containers, and large eggs in larger plastic containers.  Cover the container with a lid that has holes poked in it for ventilation. Measure the container so you can choose an incubator large enough for your container. Incubators are used to regulate the temperature as your eggs get ready to hatch. They should be insulated to keep a constant temperature and have clear sides or an easy way for you to watch the eggs. You can buy incubators at pet stores, farm supply stores, and online.  Make sure the incubator that you buy is large enough for your container of eggs. Make sure to measure the container before choosing an incubator. Hovabator incubators are inexpensive and used often by lizard pet owners. They work well for most species of lizard. Buying an incubator is probably the best option, especially if you are not experienced in hatching lizard eggs. No matter if you have a commercial or homemade incubator, you should make sure that the thermometer works properly. You have to keep the incubator at a specific temperature, so you need to make sure it is accurate. The exact temperature you have to keep the chamber will vary depending on the species. Research the particular species of lizard you have to make sure you keep it at the proper temperature. For example, most temperate and tropical species need around 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 29 degrees Celsius). If there is no way for you to buy or make an incubator, you can leave the eggs where they are in the vivarium. First, look up to see if your species of lizard buries their eggs or leaves them in the open. If they bury them, cover the eggs with a light layer of substrate. Stick a digital thermometer into the substrate next to the eggs. If your lizard leaves eggs out in the open, make a hole in a deli cup and place it over the eggs. Put a damp paper...

The location helps to set the right mood for intimate encounters. Don't choose places like loud parties that may make you feel under pressure, or places in public that would be awkward. Instead, find a secluded area in order to create a good setting for you to make your move. Whether you're taking a stroll in the park or heading off somewhere, be sure that you both are away from people. He will be less likely to kiss you if there are others watching him.  Wherever you choose to be, make sure you can talk and see one another easily so that you he can gauge your "kiss-me" vibes. If you are having trouble getting him alone, tell him, "I want some fresh air. Would you like to come with me?" For a positive conversation, open yourself up to a variety of subjects in order to keep him interested. Be sure that you have a list of topics or questions to discuss with the boy. While it's important to listen to him, you must also talk in order to have a successful, fascinating conversation. When you're talking, initiate light contact by touching his arm. Make eye contact in order to appear interested in what he is saying. Smile at him once in a while to assure him that you are comfortable around him. Don't hesitate to tease him lightly or laugh at his jokes. Keep your flirting subtle to avoid scaring him away. Half the battle of kissing someone is getting close to their face. If you keep a close proximity to his face, then he can more easily gather the courage to kiss you. If he is not being forward enough, you may have to initiate the kiss. Be sure that the mood is light and happy. Smile at him before moving closer to him in order to show that you are open to him. Look up into his eyes for a moment, smile, and glance down at his lips. If he doesn't move forward, lean forward and lightly press your lips to his.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите подходящее место. Найдите подходящую тему для разговора. Флиртуйте, чтобы он захотел поцеловать вас. Придвиньтесь к его лицу. Проявите инициативу и поцелуйте его.


The lock must be unlocked first. Set the lock to the proper code, likely "000" if it's new, and pull up on the shackle to release it. How you turn and press the shackle depends on your lock. Start by moving it 90 degrees from the locked position. Press down on the shackle and move it to 180 degrees from the locked position. If this movement doesn't reset it, try moving to 180 degrees first, pressing down, and moving back to 90 degrees. You won't know if it reset until you put in a new combination and then try opening it with that combination. If the lock has wheels, turn them to the new combination while still holding the shackle down. If it has a large dial, put in your new combination. Once you've put in a new combination, move the shackle back to the locked position. Check to make sure the new combination works on your lock.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте навесной замок. Поверните дужку на 90 градусов и надавите на нее вниз. Сбросьте комбинацию. Верните дужку в изначальное положение.


The logo for the settings menu is a bolt. You could scroll through your screens or us the quick settings menu: On your locked screen, swipe down from the top of the screen with one finger. This brings you to your notification center.  Now swipe again from the top of the screen, this time using two fingers.  This should open the quick settings menu. This should be one of the first options under your settings. Also, this is where you can setup your WIFI connections. To acknowledge that your device is using Bluetooth, check the top of the screen to see if the Bluetooth logo is visible.

The longer that you cook your eggs at a high temperature, the more likely you are to lose important nutrients. Depending on the preparation method, the amount of time needed to cook the egg properly will vary.  Depending on how runny your like your yolks, frying an egg can take 2 to 5 minutes. Poaching an egg should take about 3 minutes. Baking an egg can take 10 to 15 minutes. Boiled eggs can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes depending on your preference. In order to avoid unhealthy saturated fats, you might want to skip egg dishes that contain a lot of cheese. Instead, look for cheese substitutes, like nutritional yeast or avocados, to add flavor to your eggs. If you are adding cheese to your eggs, try to limit the cheese to 2 tablespoons (30 grams) per serving. If you are looking to limit the amount of fat and calories that you ingest, you might want to skip the yolk, which contains the majority of an eggs caloric content. Instead, separate the yolks and cook the egg whites.   However, by skipping the yolk, you miss many of the important vitamins and minerals contained in eggs. In fact, there is some evidence that egg yolk contains nutrients that can help control your weight.  You can also buy already-separated egg whites at your local grocery store. Eating eggs raw can lead to a Salmonella infection. Keep your eggs refrigerated at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) and only buy eggs from stores and suppliers that refrigerate them.  When cooking eggs, heat until both the yolk and white are firm and they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Do not keep eggs or dishes made from eggs warm or at room temperature for more than an hour. Wash your hands and any surfaces or utensils that can into contact with raw eggs. Throw away any cracked or dirty eggs. Buy pasteurized eggs and egg products.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не готовьте яйца слишком долго. Ограничьте количество сыра, которое вы едите с яйцами. Не ешьте яичный желток. Риск пищевых отравлений. Готово.


The longer the stick is, the better: you want to allow your cat to scratch and lunge at the toy without scratching your hand or arm.  Do not poke your cat with the stick. This could cause serious injury to your pet. For this reason, you may want to attach something soft and blunt to the end of the stick, like cotton balls or a cut-open ping pong ball. These can either be attached directly to the end of the stick, or to the soft cotton or ping pong ball cap affixed to the stick. Cats tend to like feathered toys because they resemble birds, a natural prey animal for cats. Glue is the strongest adhesive, but if your cat chews off any excess glue it could cause serious illness. For this reason, you may want to tape the feather to the stick. You can pull the feather stick across the floor, dangle it in the air, or see what your cat will come up with on its own.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите длинную палочку. Прикрепите небольшой пучок перьев к палочке. Пошевелите игрушкой.


The longer tree sap or any substances like  sap (and bird droppings or insect remains for that matter) are left on the surface of the vehicle, the more difficult they are to remove. Acting fast will require the least amount of effort and the most success at getting a sparkling car exterior. Giving your car this initial rinse will get all the large debris off but it will also help you to see where you need to focus further cleaning. Take the time to wash your whole car, even if it's not all covered in sap. You will be more satisfied when you get the sap off if your whole car is nice and clean. Besides, you already have all the supplies out and ready to go. Use the hottest water you can, as the sap will be weakened most effectively by really hot water.  Before using other methods of sap removal, try cleaning your car with really hot water. If the sap gets removed, then great, you are done. If the sap remains, at least you have a clean surface on which to try other methods. Be sure that your rag is clean and that you rinse it often to get any debris and sap out. Using a dirty rag will only spread this across the surface of your car. Rinsing the area you are cleaning will allow you to see if your job is done or if you need to use more elbow grease to get the sap removed. All the cleaning you have done has effectively removed the sap but it has probably also removed any wax that was protecting the surface. Use your usual method of waxing your car or, if you have never waxed your car before, consult How to Wax You Car for directions.

TL;DR in Russian:

По возможности сразу же вымойте автомобиль. Обдайте автомобиль чистой водой. Протрите поверхность тряпкой из микрофибры, замоченной в горячей мыльной воде. Промойте поверхность несколько раз. Сразу после удаления смолы просушите и натрите воском поверхность вашего автомобиля.


The longer you wait to cancel your appointment, the more you are inconveniencing the person you are meeting with. Giving plenty of notice will show that you respect them and their time. If you are giving less than a day’s notice, you should call the person your appointment is with directly. Emailing, texting, or having an employee notify them for you can come off as inconsiderate when you are inconveniencing them with a last-minute change. Even if you are giving plenty of notice, let them know you are sorry for canceling the appointment. They may have given up other plans to meet with you, and you may have caused them an inconvenience by canceling.  A brief, simple apology is enough, like “So sorry I can’t make it work this time.” Avoid using vague language or saying that you “might” not be able to make the appointment. It’s better to be straightforward and honest. If you have a good reason, like travel problems or a sickness, simply let them know that’s why you had to cancel. If you have a less acceptable reason, like you just forgot about the appointment or accidentally double-booked yourself, give a general explanation such as “Something came up that I can’t get out of.”  There’s no need to go into great detail about why you are canceling, even if you’re being honest. Elaborating too much can make it seem like you’re making something up.  Never say that “something more important came up,” or anything to that effect. Don’t make up excuses. You’ll run the risk of the other person finding out you weren’t honest, which could worsen the situation. Make sure to emphasize that you appreciate them scheduling the appointment with you, and that you regret having to cancel. Make it clear that you recognize their time is not unlimited. This is especially important if the other person was meeting with you as a favor, like a professional in your field with more experience.

TL;DR in Russian:

Как можно скорее свяжитесь с человеком, с которым у вас назначена встреча. Позвоните, чтобы отменить встречу лично, если сообщаете об этом в последний момент. Принесите искренние извинения. Кратко поясните причину отмены. Дайте человеку понять, что вы цените его время.


The longer you wait, the more likely it is that the paint will dry. When the paint dries, it will become considerably more difficult to remove. Take something like a palette knife and use it to gently lift excess paint from the leather. Begin by working around the outside of the stain to avoid spreading the paint. Keep the tool level, so that you limit contact with the couch and do not scratch the leather.  Leather does not handle moisture well, so you should try to remove as much of the stain as possible without recourse to water.  Alternatively, you could try using a credit card or a razor blade. Find a towel that is good at absorbing moisture. Pat the remainder of the stain, lifting as much of it as possible. If you can, try using a dry towel to avoid damaging the leather.  If a dry towel does not seem to work, apply a little bit of water and a nonabrasive soap, like hand soap. After cleaning up the stain, use a towel to pat the surface and remove water as quickly as possible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Действуйте как можно быстрее. Используйте плоский инструмент для удаления краски. Протрите пятно кухонным полотенцем.


The looser your tooth is when you try to pull it out, the less pain you will feel. You can use your tongue and fingers to loosen your tooth with a gentle wiggling motion. Just make sure that you do not pull or push your tooth too hard as you wiggle it or it may hurt. Use a gentle wiggling motion throughout the day to help loosen the tooth and make it ready to come out. You can also eat crunchy foods to help loosen the tooth and help it to come out without any pain. Chew on apples, carrots, celery, or other crunchy foods to help loosen up your tooth a bit more.  You may want to start with something that is not too crunchy to make sure that this does not cause you any pain. Try chewing on a peach or a piece of cheese to start and then move on to something a bit crunchier. Try not to swallow the tooth. If you feel like the tooth has come loose as you are chewing on something, then spit the food into a napkin to check for the tooth. If you accidentally swallow a tooth, then call your doctor or dentist. There is probably no cause to worry if a child swallows a baby tooth, but you may want to ask your dentist just to be sure. Regular brushing and flossing may also help to loosen your tooth and make it easier to pull out. Just try not to brush or floss too hard or it may be painful. Make sure that you brush and floss as usual (twice per day) to help loosen the tooth and keep your other teeth healthy as well.  To floss your teeth, use about 18 inches (46 cm) of floss and wind most of it around the middle finger of one hand and the rest around the middle finger of the other hand. Hold the floss between your thumb and your forefinger. Then, guide the floss between the loose tooth and its neighbor teeth with a back and forth motion. Try to curve the floss around the bottom of the loose tooth as you do so. You can also use an up-and-down motion to rub each side of each tooth.

The low sitting bridge will divide the long vertical line of your nose more evenly, so the bottom portion of your nose--the portion that the eye naturally catches--will seem smaller. A wide bridge creates a stronger, more visible divide.  Larger frames are generally a better option than smaller ones. The large frames can compete with the size of your nose and help balance it out, but smaller frames can draw more attention to the size of your nose. The other option is to go for contacts. Since glasses sit at the top of your nose, they do draw some attention to that area of your face. Getting contacts avoids this issue completely. Your ears and nose share the same horizontal space on your face. Short, dainty earrings can draw attention to this horizontal space, which could also draw attention to your nose. Larger earrings that extend below the ear enlarge the sides of this horizontal space, making the nose at the center of this space appear smaller by comparison.  If you do not want to wear long earrings, at least choose short earrings that cover the earlobes completely. This will draw more attention to the sides of this horizontal space, which can help draw attention off your nose. Rounded earrings that occupy both horizontal and vertical space are better than earrings that only add a vertical dimension. Earrings that emphasize straight, vertical lines will also emphasize the straight, vertical line of the nose. Both men and women should look for hat styles that have a rounded or down-turned brim at the front of the face. A brim that hangs down over the front of the face can visually build out the forehead. As a result, the nose appears shorter and more proportionate.  Avoid "tricorne" styles, which meet at a point above the forehead. Hats that have a larger brim in the front than in the back may build out the forehead better than those with an even brim all around. Make sure that the crown does not pinch in too tightly toward the front of the face. Ideally, this crown should also be of medium height to...

The main cause of cirrhosis is long-term alcoholism. Men and women react differently to alcohol as tolerance varies from one person to another. Most men can take two to five bottles of beer a day while one or two bottles can damage a woman’s liver. People who consume a lot of alcohol and drink often have a higher possibility of developing cirrhosis, however, it really comes down to the individual. In some cases, one drink can damage a person’s liver. These infections include Hepatitis B and C, both of which can damage the liver. These conditions are caused by viruses, though they can also be transmitted via bodily fluids. The people who are at a greater risk of contracting the disease are health care workers. This is a condition caused by accumulation of fat in the liver. This condition usually occurs in people who are diabetic, obese and have high blood pressure. The fat causes tenderness and scarring to the liver and over a period, this leads to cirrhosis. Therefore, the people who suffer from these conditions are at a higher risk of getting cirrhosis. The bile ducts help to transport the bile formed by the liver to the intestines. The bile is used in the digestion of fats and can accumulate, thus scarring the liver. In adults, the bile ducts can become blocked or scarred if the person experiences a serious infection somewhere in the body. In children, blockage of the bile duct can be caused by biliary atresia, which is when the bile ducts are damaged or they are absent. This causes the bile to accumulate in the liver, causing the liver to stop functioning properly.

The main difference between nominal and real GDP is that real GDP takes inflation into account.  If you don't take inflation into account, you could believe that a country's GDP is increasing when really their prices are increasing. Think about it like this. If GDP of country A was $1 billion in 2012, but in 2013 it printed and then circulated $500 million, of course its GDP is going to be bigger in 2013 than it was in 2012. But this increase isn't a good reflection of the goods and services produced in country A. Real GDP effectively discounts these inflationary increases. Your base year can be a year back, five years, 10, or even 100. But you need to choose a year against which to compare the inflation. Because, at heart, real GDP is a comparison. And a comparison is only really a comparison if two or more things — years and figures — are being weighed against one another. For a simple real GDP calculation, choose the year prior to the year you're looking at. This number is also called the "deflator." If your rate of inflation from the base year to the current year is 25%, for example, you'd list that inflationary rate as 125, or 1 (100%) plus .25 (25%) times 100. For all cases of inflation, the deflator is going to be higher than 1. If, for example, the country that you're measuring actually experienced deflation, where purchasing power increased instead of decreased, the deflator would drop below 1. Say, for example, the rate of deflation was 25% from the base period to the current period. That means the currency can buy 25% more than it used to in its base period. Your deflator would be 75, or 1 (100%) minus .25 (25%) times 100. Real GDP is equal to the ratio of your nominal GDP divided by 100. As an equation, it starts off like this: Nominal GDP ÷ Real GDP = Deflator ÷ 100. So, if your current nominal GDP is $10 million, and your deflator is 125 (inflation was 25% from the base period to the current period), this is how you'd set up your equation:  $10,000,000 ÷ Real GDP = 125 ÷ 100 $10,000,000 ÷ Real...

The main difference between thermoplastic and thermoset is the reversibility of the coat. Like their name implies, thermoset coatings cannot re-melt after undergoing an irreversible chemical bonding process. Conversely, thermoplastic coatings can remelt because no chemical process takes place. Thermostat coatings are ideal for things like electronics and appliances because they need to withstand higher amounts of heat, which might cause thermoplastic coatings to melt. Thermosets and thermoplastics have different chemical properties, making them ideal for different uses. Knowing some of those properties can help you choose which type to coat with:   Thermosets are said to reinforce the structural integrity of an item, making them particularly suitable for heavy wear-and-tear. They also supply the item with superior chemical and heat resistance, as mentioned above.   Thermoplastics offer a mixture of strength and flexibility. They are commonly used for items such as plastic bags and even mechanical parts. Thermosets are often used to coat appliances because of the heat they can withstand.  Advantages: beautiful aesthetic look; cheap; added strength and stability; resistant to extreme temperatures. Disadvantages: irreversible process means thermoset can't be recycled; more difficult to finish; can't be reshaped. Thermoplastics are used for many items, such as park benches, that require both plasticity and durability.  Advantages: high lubricity or tack; recyclable; able to remolded and/or reshaped; increased impact resistance. Disadvantages: more expensive (usually); can melt off if overheated.

The main element required for a greenhouse is good consistent sunlight.  All structures should be to the north of the greenhouse. One of the main greenhouse structures is a lean-to. Choosing a south wall of a building is a good option. Although all-day sun is the best option, opening up the area to morning light will increase the growth of the plants. If there are trees or bushes near the greenhouse location, ensure they do not give a shadow until late afternoon. If the area to the east is open and sunny, it will get more sun November through February.   Winter sun has a lower angle, so trees, houses and other structures are more likely to pose a problem. Do not choose a location near evergreen trees. Deciduous trees lose their leaves and will not shade the location in the winter, when the greenhouse requires more sun. Most greenhouses require some heat and ventilation to keep the temperature optimal.  If you build a lean-to, you may be able to extend power from the house. A separate building may require hiring an electrician. You will need to syphon away excess rainwater.  If your location is uneven, you may need to fill in the area to encourage drainage. You may be able to use cisterns to catch rainwater falling from the eaves of your greenhouse. Any conservation of water and electricity will help keep greenhouse costs low.

The main feature of agoraphobia is feeling anxiety about situations and places that you fear you may not be able to escape.  When you are in these situations (most often outside of your home) you may experience a sense of dread, as if something terrible is about to happen. You must have had these feelings for a minimum of six months to receive a diagnosis of agoraphobia. Some people also experience panic symptoms or panic attacks in situations that trigger anxiety.  During a panic attack, one may experience a combination of chest pain, numbness, dizziness, trembling, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, feeling unreal or disconnected from oneself, feeling like you are losing control or going crazy, feeling like you are dying, or feeling chilled or hot. The types of fear that someone who has agoraphobia experiences are quite specific. To be diagnosed with agoraphobia, the DSM-V indicates that the patient must experience fear in two or more of the following situations:  being in a large crowd or waiting in a line being in an open space, such as a marketplace or parking lot being in a closed space, such as a coffee shop or movie theater using public transportation, such as the bus, train, plane, or a ferry going outside of your home alone If you dislike being alone because you might panic and experience the shortness of breath, racing heartbeat, and confused thoughts that happen during an agoraphobic attack, then you might have agoraphobia.  Make note of any heightened feelings of fear that you experience when you are alone. There are two kinds of fears that may emerge when people are alone.  One kind is related to agoraphobia.  The other kind of fear is one that develops because the person is alone and feels vulnerable to attack from predators.  This is not symptomatic of agoraphobia.  Correctly identifying one’s own feelings is important to identifying whether they have agoraphobia. Women and those who are under the age of 35 are at a higher risk of developing agoraphobia.

The main goals of treatment are to preserve normal kidney growth, prevent progressive kidney scars, and avoid recurrences of serious kidney-related infections.  When the effectiveness of medical management is compared to surgery in the general reflux child population, there are no great differences between the two in reaching these goals.  However, in those whose medical therapy fails to prevent these reflux-related consequences, surgery is considered. There are two basic methods to surgically correct reflux: minimally invasive endoscopic treatment and surgical repair. Bladder endoscopy is performed using a cystoscope (cystoscopy). The cystoscope is a thin, flexible, lighted telescope-like tube that enables the surgeon to look into the bladder and perform some tasks like tissue sampling and injections. The endoscopic procedure for reflux is often referred to as Deflux, which is the name of the material used to eliminate the reflux.  The Deflux procedure is done through the cystoscope. Deflux is a viscous biodegradable gel. No actual surgical incision is required for this procedure. Using the cystoscope, the surgeon injects Deflux to create a bulge just below or within the urethra where it enters the bladder.  The bulge reduces the size of the opening, allowing it to close during bladder contraction to eliminate reflux. After the procedure, the urine may be light pink for a while and your child may have some discomfort when urinating for about a day.  Acetaminophen can be used for the pain—follow the dose instructions on the package since this comes in many strengths. Open surgery for reflux is a treatment choice for high-grade reflux, particularly when the reflux is associated with more extensive abnormalities of the ureter or bladder. Your child will be hospitalized following the procedure and pain management provided.  This open surgery is much like any other procedure, but should be less painful. If everything goes well, your child should then be released from the hospital if she is eating, drinking, and...

The main ingredient in liquor polishing is activated carbon, though adding your carbon to a full container of vodka may cause your container to overflow. You'll also have to strain the carbon out at some point, so you'll need:  Food-safe activated carbon (3-5 cups (1,020-1,700 g) depending on the amount of liquor being polished) Container (freezer safe) Funnel Strainer/colander You'll want a container that is larger than your amount of vodka, otherwise, when you add your carbon, you might lose some vodka to overflow. Place your funnel in the container, and pour your vodka from its original vessel into the container. Impurities in alcohol, like aldehydes, amino acids, and oils are likely the culprits making your cheap vodka taste foul. Polishing alcohol is the process of soaking it for a length of time in activated carbon to remove these impurities.  Rinse your activated carbon in a colander/strainer under cold water to remove any dust that may have formed on it during the packaging and handling process. Add 1 cup (340 g) of food-safe activated carbon per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of vodka. At minimum, you should allow your vodka to soak in the activated carbon you've added for a week. For even better results, you can allow the vodka to soak for a month, though after a few months you'll reach the carbon's limit and see little change in quality.  Shake the vodka in its container for a few minutes every day to ensure the consistently filtration throughout the mixture. Keep your vodka in a cold location, like your freezer, to make the impurities in it easier for the activated carbon to absorb. A regular kitchen strainer should be sufficient to catch your activated carbon while letting the vodka drain through into a container. You may want to nest your strainer into your funnel so the vodka flows directly down the nozzle of the funnel and into a container, preventing lost liquor.

The main reason for going to a dermatologist is that they can tailor products and skincare routines specifically to you and your concerns.  Research in to potential dermatologists you want to see. Read reviews and articles on the company and actual doctors to see if they are legitimate, and suited for your needs. Professional help on stubborn skin is help you may not be equipped to provide on your own. Consider seeing a dermatologist as a last resort. Try using home remedies and changing your diet for at least two months to see if your skin clears or improves in ways you want it to. If this fails, then find help. Scar removal can be a priority for those who want healthier looking skin. These procedures can be expensive so make sure to look in to local professionals who can administer them at a price reasonable for you.  This is a quick fix for visibly different looking skin. It can be done on your own with at-home with bleaching creams, or scrubbing brushes. Look for microdermabrasion or dermabrasion procedures to remove top layers of damaged skin. Removing scars can also even out the pigmentation of your skin. If you suffer from stubborn acne or other issues, a dermatologist can either recommend the perfect product(s) or procedures to get your skin back to its healthy looking self.  A dermatologist can help you understand your own skin, why it is the way it is, and how you are perpetuating the problem or starting new ones. Even if you don't have a chronic skin issue and you notice something isn't quite right about your skin, it doesn't hurt to go in for a consultation with a dermatologist just to see what's happening.

The main reason why you get sleepy after lunch is because food that you eat for lunch diverts your blood away from your brain to help with the digestion process. Your body also releases a bit of melatonin after lunch related to a drop in core temperature that occurs around 2 to 3pm. Melatonin is a hormone that helps you fall asleep at night. A post lunch slump may be worse if you haven't had enough sleep the night before. Adults need about 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night to function at their best, so try to go to bed in time to get enough sleep each night. If you are suffering from insomnia, talk to your doctor to determine the cause. While a post-lunch slump is normal, inadequate or poor nutrition may make your afternoon drowsiness worse. To determine how to avoid feeling sleepy after lunch, consider the following questions:  Do I eat breakfast every day? Have I been eating a lot of processed and high sugar foods? Have I been eating poorly the night before? Have I been consuming too much caffeine and alcohol? Is my breakfast providing me with nutritional energy? (more than just coffee) Have I been physically active consistently? Do I have a right life-work balance? Have I been eating healthy lunches? If your answer to any of these questions is no, then you should evaluate your lifestyle habits to help make your post-lunch slump less severe. Write down when you feel drowsy, what you ate, whether you had exercised or not, how well you slept the night before, and any other factors that might be involved. Do this over a week, and at the end of the week, analyze the data you have recorded. Look for patterns so that you can learn to avoid any habits that cause drowsiness problems for you.

The main symptom of angina is chest pain or discomfort, which is usually localized just behind the breastbone, or sternum. Typical descriptions of the type of pain include pressure, squeezing, tightness, and heaviness.  This pain may also result in a difficulty of breathing. Chest heaviness is often described as an elephant sitting on the chest. Some also compare the pain to that of indigestion. The pain may radiate from your chest to your arms, shoulders, jaw, or neck. It may also occur as primary pain in other areas such as your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Women are statistically more likely than men to experience primary angina pain localized to an area other than the chest, or the chest pain may feel more like stabbing than pressure or tightness. Angina pain is caused by myocardial ischemia, which means reduced blood flow to your heart stops it from receiving enough oxygen. Because of this, you are likely to experience a range of symptoms in addition to the actual angina pain. Generally speaking, women are more likely to experience these additional symptoms, sometimes without even feeling typical chest pain. These symptoms include:  Fatigue Nausea Dizziness/fainting Sweating Shortness of breath Tightness in your chest You should immediately rest and stop putting any undue stress on your heart when you begin feeling a chest pain that you believe to be angina. Once you sit down and rest or take nitroglycerin, the pain should subside in a short amount of time—around five minutes—if you have what is called “stable angina,” which is the most common form. Stable angina is deemed as such because the causes and severity are usually both consistent and predictable—at times when you force your heart to work harder. This means that the pain can flare up consistently after exercise, climbing stairs, cold temperature, smoking, and when you’re feeling especially stressed or emotional.  If you’re accustomed to monitoring symptoms of stable angina and your pain, the cause, the duration, or anything else deviates...

The main symptom of this disease is the fish's eyes protruding from its head. However, sometimes this problem is a symptom of another disease rather than disease itself. For instance, it can be a symptom of tuberculosis. If it is tuberculosis, the fish will likely not make it. For popeye, you should provide a clean tank, as noted in earlier sections. In addition, change out the water. Ampicillin will treat the problem if it's not a symptom of something worse. You need to add this medication every time you change the water and clean the tank, which should happen every 3 days. Continue this regimen for a week after you stop seeing signs of the problem.

The main theory as to how reflexology works was first formulated in the 1890's.  The theory states that by applying the techniques of reflexology, signals are sent along the nervous system which results in the body lowering the overall level of tension.  This lowering of tension increases circulation and well-being.  An additional theory states that by relieving stress, any pain caused by that stress is also reduced. One final theory states the body contains "energetic" circuits, which can be blocked by stress.  Reflexology helps to remove these blockages and keep your "vital energy" flowing. These charts will give you a map of which areas of the body correspond to other areas of the body.  Many charts are color coded and make it easy for you to find the areas that can help improve circulation.  Good charts will display the areas being worked on from a few different angles.  This can make it easier to determine the specific areas of the foot you may want to target. Get a chart that has adequate labeling.  You won't want a chart that has too little or too much information.  Find a chart that you feel you can understand easily. Charts will either label areas directly, using descriptive terms, or use a numbering or symbolic system.  If the chart uses a numbering or symbolic system, make sure they come with a legend or key. Your chart should have some basic information on how to apply simple reflexology techniques. To learn more information on reflexology, you may want to purchase a more in depth book or take some classes. Speak with a reflexologist to learn which charts and books they recommend. Find the corresponding reflexes for circulatory and cardiovascular on the chart.  Any areas dealing with the chest or heart will be the main reflex points you will be working with.  Your chart should have basic information on which points to target for cardiovascular issues. If your chart uses a numerical system, find the area of the foot that corresponds with those numbers. Some charts will have areas that deal with...

The main thing you need to worry about when formatting citations in your reference list is to make a hanging indention. That means that the first line of each citation will be all the way over to the left hand margin, but each line after that will be indented. To make a hanging indention, highlight your set of citations, then use the ruler bar at the top of the page. Click on the bottom arrow only, and move it over so that it form a half-inch indentation. To make sure that your page is double spaced, highlight the text, and right-click on it. Find “Paragraph” in the list that appears. Under “Spacing” and “Line Spacing,” select “Double.”

The main thing you want to do when you take a picture is eliminate camera shake. Use a faster shutter speed to avoid camera shake blur. Try at least 1/60 for this type of photo. If you have steady hands, 1/30 may produce a good picture.  For this situation, a change in shutter speed has essentially no effect (other than on overall exposure level) unless something moves enough during the exposure to smear it by at least a pixel width. Even then, it will only make the picture a little soft unless something moves enough to smear it across many pixel widths. An image-stabilizing lens or camera can let you hold the camera a stop or two slower, as can careful holding technique. Setting the camera on something sturdy like a tripod eliminates camera shake, especially when you choose a slower shutter speed. Determining if what you want to photograph is still or in motion helps you choose a shutter speed. If you want to photograph something that is moving, you need a fast shutter speed.  Use 1/500 for general photography of everyday events, sports, and subjects. Use 1/1000-1/4000 when shooting subjects that are extremely fast and up close. 1/1000-1/2000 works well when photographing birds. 1/1000 works well when taking photos of cars. When you take a picture of something moving, a slow shutter speed will catch the movement as a blur. This works really well for action shots of sports photography. A slow shutter speed will give you a blurry background.  You can also use this technique to pan the action by showing a still subject on a moving background. For this, use a shutter speed of 1/15.  Follow the subject so that mostly the background, rather than the subject, moves relative to the camera and is blurred. Use a slower shutter speed when shooting running water that you would like to be blurry. Light affects the exposure of your picture. The source of light determines what kind of shutter speed you will choose. If you allow too much light, your photo will be overexposed. If you let in too little light, it will be...
