All but the most mundane mixtapes will benefit from having a name. At the very least, a descriptive name will help the recipient keep track of what's on the tape (for example, “2010s folk music”).  If it's special, make it sound special. For more tightly themed mixtapes, there is an art to coming up with the perfect name. Using the name of the person who will receive the mixtape can be very flattering to them. A name can also be used as part of a statement addressed directly to the recipient. Using a favorite lyric from one of the songs on the tape is a good way to center every song on the tape around that lyric, and encourage the recipient to think about the tape in that context. A name that succinctly reflects the theme can help make sense of the song order you choose for the tape. A mixtape named “dawn to dusk,” for instance, suggests a very specific arc of music. This doesn't necessarily mean a tiny painting or a sketch (although those are fine), it means any kind of cassette decoration you can put some effort into to create a finished product that's unique and unmistakable. Color it in. Colored markers are a time-honored tool of the cassette decorator's trade. They can brightly decorate any paper surface with minimal trouble. Try an abstract pattern or oversized, multicolored lettering. Even a plain black marker can cloak a cassette case insert in zebra stripes or dense spirals. Sequins and glitter add flash with just a bit of thin glue and a paintbrush. Be careful not to get anything on the actual tape inside the cassette, and avoid putting anything that isn't flat (like a rhinestone) on the cassette or CD itself, or the recipient may have trouble getting it to play. Save such decorations for the outside of the case. With a bit of planning and some care, the cassette or CD case insert and even the tape label itself can be custom-made from scratch  Use cloth-top medical tape for a nice wide label that takes marker very well. Carefully cut out a photograph or part of a magazine article and firmly glue it...

All cases of benzodiazepine withdrawal should be overseen by a doctor who is familiar with the process. He will monitor your safety and progress, making adjustments to your alprazolam withdrawal schedule as needed. Tell your doctor about all medications and supplements you’re taking. Be sure to mention any medical conditions that you have. These can affect your tapering schedule. Most of the worst-case withdrawal scenarios result from abruptly quitting alprazolam. Quitting cold turkey from any benzodiazepine is unsafe and is not recommended by benzodiazepine experts. It is possible to reduce your alprazolam withdrawal symptoms by taking smaller amounts of the drug in small increments over a long period of time, letting your body adjust to each taper. Then, you can incrementally taper down again. You will not drop off the drug completely until you are down to a minimal dosage. Tapering schedules with vary with each individual, depending on length of use, dosage, and other factors. If you have been using Alprazolam for a long time (over six months or so), your doctor may switch you to a longer-acting benzodiazepine such as diazepam. Your doctor may also recommend this option if you are on a high dose of Alprazolam. Diazepam works the same way as Alprazolam, but it is longer acting. This means that it stays in your system longer, which may result in fewer withdrawal symptoms.  Another benefit of diazepam is that this drug is readily available in liquid form and smaller dose tablets. Both of these options aid in tapering. The switch from alprazolam to diazepam can be immediate or gradual. If your doctor chooses to switch you to diazepam, she will adjust your initial dosage of diazepam to equal your current dosage of Alprazolam. Generally speaking, 10 milligrams of Diazepam equals one milligram of Alprazolam. Your doctor may recommend that you divide your total daily dose into a schedule that you take three times a day. This will, of course, depend on your dose and time of use of the benzodiazepine. For example,...

All chemicals, including substances like window cleaner or antibacterial cleaner, have the ability to remove the protective coating on the screen, which will inevitably result in a shorter life for your device. Never use a substance other than water to clean the screen.  Don't use cleaners meant for LCD screens, either. Those are meant for a different type of material, and they're harmful to iPhone and iPod Touch screens. Even natural substances like vinegar and lemon juice are too abrasive for cleaning the screen of an iPhone or iPod screen. Water is fine to use in very small amounts, but it should never be directly poured or dripped on the screen. Always use a microfiber cloth to transfer a little moisture to the screen, and make sure to wipe it off right away with a dry cloth.  Submerging an iPhone or iPod Touch in water is a sure way to ruin it. Don't try to soak it in an effort to remove a stubborn stain. If you accidentally get too much water on the screen, examine the user manual that came with your device to determine what steps you can take to fix it. Using an abrasive towel, or even a paper towel or napkin, can scratch and damage the screen of an iPhone or iPod Touch. If you lost the cloth that came with your device, you can pick up a new one at a computer store, or use a cloth meant for cleaning the lenses on glasses. If your device's screen has been damaged by a stain that won't wipe away, check out the warranty that came with it to determine whether you can take it in to have it cleaned or repaired. Trying to do so yourself may result in further damage.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не используйте бытовые чистящие средства для чистки экранов iPhone или iPod Touch. Не мочите устройство в воде. Пользуйтесь только безворсовыми салфетками. При необходимости отдавайте свое устройство на профессиональную чистку.


All clothing looks best if it fits well. Take your school uniform to a professional tailor. A tailor will adjust your clothing to fit your body shape. Remember to take all of the pieces of your uniform to the tailor for best results.  Adjust the length of your shorts or skirt. Just be sure to remain within the uniform guidelines that your school provides. Inform the tailor to whether your shirt is to be worn tucked or untucked. Some schools just provide guidelines for their uniforms. If that is the case, be sure to purchase a variety of pieces that fit within those guidelines. Buy short sleeved and long sleeved shirts. Order pants, shorts, and skirts. Buy as many colors as is permitted by your school’s uniform guidelines. In cool months, add a cardigan or sweater that compliments your uniform. Some schools may provide this cardigan. If not, buy a few that fall under the uniform guidelines. Your cardigan can be worn buttoned, unbuttoned, or tied around your shoulders. If you have an option on what shoe to purchase, buy a variety of shoes to alter your uniform. Select dressier shoes to compliment a skirt and casual shoes to go with pants.

TL;DR in Russian:

Перешейте школьную форму. Приобретите разные предметы одежды. Приобретите кардиган. Носите разную обувь.


All companies make their products and services unique and offer them at different price levels. Their aim is to capture the specific customers that will enable the company to maximize profit. Large market share, whether measured in units sold or total revenues, does not always correlate with high profitability. For example, the market share of General Motors in 2011 was 19.4%, more than 6 times the share of BMW at 2.82%. GM reported profits of $9.2 billion while BMW reported profits of about $4.9 billion Euros ($5.3 billion U.S.) during the same period. Whether measured by per unit sales or total revenue, BMW showed a higher degree of profitability than GM. Profit per unit, not just market share, is the goal of most companies. Companies seek to capture as much market share as might be available consistent with their strategy.  To again use the automotive example, BMW knows that not every car purchaser is one of its potential customers. It is a luxury car manufacturer, and less than ten percent of car buyers are in the luxury car market. Luxury car sales make up a tiny fraction of the total 12.7 million cars purchased annually in the US. BMW sold 247,907 cars in 2011, more than any other luxury car maker including GM's Cadillac and Buick lines. Clearly identify the specific market segment you intend to research. It can be general, focusing on total sales, or restricted to specific products and services. You must define the market on like terms as you examine the sales of each company. Otherwise, you are comparing apples to oranges. You can compare a single company's year-to-year performance. Alternatively, you can compare all the companies within a competitive space. Changes in market share might mean the company's strategy is effective (if market share is rising), faulty (if market share falls), or was not implemented effectively. For example, BMW's number of autos sold and their market share increased from 2010. This indicates that their marketing and pricing strategies were more effective than competitors...

All companies who trade their stocks publicly are required to publish annual and quarterly financial statements showing the results of their operations, and you can find these reports (called the 10-Q and 10-K) on trading websites like Yahoo! or on the company websites themselves. These statements are a powerful research tool, as they allow you a glimpse into the nitty gritty numbers. An income statement shows what revenue and expenses the company had during a given period, and then whether or not the two netted together resulted in a profit or a loss.  The most obvious value in reading the income statement is that you can see whether or not the company is generating a profit. Generally, stock prices for the company trend upwards as profits increase, and trend downward as they decrease or as the company experiences losses. You can compare the company’s income or losses over time, to see whether or not the company is in a pattern of growth. Remember that in choosing stocks to invest in, you are looking to predict the company’s future performance and hoping it does better than the market expects. For that reason, you can also consider investing in companies who show losses, if you believe that company is going to grow and turn a profit during the time you own the stock. Another important financial statement is the company’s balance sheet, which shows the company's assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity. Assets things like cash, accounts receivable, equipment, and buildings - all items of value the company owns and uses. Liabilities are the amounts the company owns to others, such as loans and accounts payable. Finally owner’s equity is the amount of the business that the company itself, or its stockholders, owns.  The balance sheet, unlike the income statement, shows the company’s position on the last day of the quarter in terms of what it owns and what it owes. A key metric for predicting growth at a company is the ratio between the company’s cash and short-term investments (such as stock the company owns),...

All dogs have four basic types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. These are found on the upper and low jaws, on both the left and right sides.  The incisors are the small teeth running along the front of the mouth. Adult dogs have six incisors on the top and six on the bottom jaw. The two  side incisors (next to the canine teeth) are a bit bigger than the middle incisors; on the top these also tend to stick out to the side a bit more. The canine teeth are located behind the incisors, one on each side for a total of four. These are the large, pointed teeth. Premolars come in behind the canines. There are four premolars both on the upper and lower jaw. The fourth premolar on the top is very large. Finally behind the premolars are the molars. On the top of your dog's mouth there are two molars. On the bottom jaw there are three molars. The first one is larger than the other two. Puppies generally have around 28 teeth. For the first two to four weeks, there are no noticeable teeth. Baby canines start coming in after three to four weeks. Baby incisors and premolars start after four to six weeks. By eight weeks, all baby teeth are grown in. For the next three months, there will be no noticeable changes.  After five months, permanent teeth will start coming in, usually canines and molars first. By seven months, all permanent teeth will have grown in. If your puppy has all of its permanent teeth, then it is most likely more that 7 months old. Adult dogs will have around 42 teeth.  After the puppy stage, age is marked by tooth wear. At one year, teeth are white and clean. By the end of the second year, the white will have dulled and tartar will begin building up. This will cause yellowing on the back teeth. After three to five years the yellowing will increase and be visible on all teeth. There will be noticeable tooth wear. Tooth wear is a natural occurrence, but it can be accelerated by certain habits such as aggressively chewing on hard objects (bones, rocks, sticks) or in small dog’s without good...

All dogs react individually to pregnancy. Some may be quieter and more tired early on, but a dog who is unwell may also be quiet, so this sign is an unreliable predictor of pregnancy.   The average female dog behaves largely the same as usual until the last third of the gestation. In the final third of pregnancy, the dog’s size makes it more difficult for her to move around, and she may want to sleep more. Towards the end of pregnancy, the dog’s will womb grow larger and take up more space in her belly.  She won't be able to accommodate large meals, so she'll start wanting to snack, eating a little at a time more frequently. When it is nearly time for her to deliver the pups, the dog may start to nest.   She will gather blankets or clothing in a secluded place as she prepares a suitable safe warm environment for her imminent new arrivals. The exact timing of nesting varies from 2-3 weeks to 2 - 3 days prior to giving birth.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не ожидайте кардинальных перемен. Проследите за изменениями аппетита. Обратите внимание, когда собака начнет гнездиться.


All families are different, and they will show affection in different ways. Some parents expect a hug from their children, while others are more comfortable with a handshake. Friendships also have a wide range of expression, but no matter what the gesture, it will show a family member or friend that you are there for them.  Children may seek and require more contact. Hold their hand while crossing the street or pick them up when they're too tired to walk to let them know you're there. For adult family and friends, place your hand on their shoulder or squeeze their hand to let them know that you're there for them and that you're concerned. People often forget the importance of openness as they age. Many times family members will stop telling each other that they care, and this can create a distance between them. Be open and honest with your family and friends, especially when they are struggling.  For example, you might wrap your best friend in a long heartfelt hug before he moves out of town for a new job. Children need feedback. Tell them you love them and care about them no matter what. Don’t be affectionate only when they do something good or get hurt. This will lead them to think that those are the only times you care. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend all of your money or time delivering gifts to friends and family members. Just be sure that when you do give a gift, it is a gift that your family member will like. It could be as simple as picking up the tab for lunch, or buying your kid’s first car. Don't underestimate the gift of time. Time is precious, especially when life gets busy, but they'll appreciate the effort if you see them in their moment of need. Whether you help your mom clean up her house or help your best friend move cities, it will be appreciated. Big or small chores can add up and overwhelm anyone, and helping a loved one get on top of things is a clear sign of affection.  For example, something as simple as dropping by to cook her dinner after she's had a baby can make a lasting...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проявляйте ласку и нежность к вашим близким. Говорите близким о своих чувствах. Дарите подарки. Помогайте друзьям и членам семьи, когда они нуждаются в этом.


All friends and all friendships are different. A lot of how you're feeling about your friends will be a knee-jerk, gut-decision. If you feel like someone really cares about you, and you feel confident that they're a friend, it's probably because they are. If you even have to wonder, it's probably a sign that they're not. Ask yourself the test questions, even if you're not sure of the answers, and go with your gut: Would your friend pick you up from the airport at midnight, if you needed it? Would your friend sit through a boring Sunday dinner with your grandparents, just to be a good friend and hang out afterwards? Would your friend be able to celebrate with you, if you won something and she didn't? Friends should be around to help hold you up and celebrate the good times with you, and to help get you through the bad times. Anyone who doesn't support you emotionally isn't a friend. Someone is your friend if they:  Compliment you sincerely Talk favorably about you to others Seem genuinely excited when you succeed Empathize with you, when you're having a tough time Friendship shouldn't be based on superficial or external things. If someone wants to be your friend because of your car, because of your pool, or because you're the "cool" kid in school, they're not your friend. Friends need to support you for who you are as a person. Someone is your friend if they:  Don't pressure you to do things you don't want to do Don't judge you for opening up Don't embarrass you, and aren't embarrassed by you Act the same way around you as around other people Don't make demands of you Friendships aren't all laughs. Good friends are willing to have your best interest in mind, especially if you're the one making the mistake. This can get tricky, because you want friends who will accept you, but also friends who know when you're slipping, and are willing to help you out. Someone is your friend if they:  Politely disagree with you Don't attack you personally Have your best interest at heart Know what you want and what you need If...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прислушайтесь к своей интуиции. Держитесь за друзей, которые вас поддерживают. Держитесь за друзей, которые принимают вас таким, какой вы есть. Сохраните друзей, которые остаются на вашей стороне, даже когда вы неправы. Берегите друзей, которые слушают. Общайтесь с друзьями, с которыми вам приятно проводить время. Берегите друзей, которые умеют прощать. Сами будьте хорошим другом


All friendships are not meant to last forever. You may do everything you can to stay friends, but it just does not work out. Always give your best effort before you decide to stop being friends with someone. You may need to end the friendship if:  You and your friend are constantly arguing and can never seem to get along. Your friendship makes you feel bad about yourself or hurts your self-esteem. If you always feel uncomfortable or nervous around your friend. If you feel like you no longer want to be friends, have a trial separation so you can be sure. This will give you time to see what it would be like to not have this person in your life. Having time away will also give you a clearer head and a different perspective on your friendship.  When you decide to take a break, be clear about the purpose and the length of the break. You may say, "Hey, we have not been getting along lately. I think we should spend some time apart. We can talk about things in 2 weeks." Use this time to think and journal about your friendship. Do you miss the person? Are you happier now that you are not spending time with them? What things need to change? You may be ready to make a decision once your friendship break is over. If you decide to end the friendship, let the person know. Do not cut them out of your life without telling them. If you were truly friends, you owe them an explanation.   Be honest and respectful of the other person's feeling when you talk to them. You may say, "I care about you a lot, but our friendship has changed. I am really sad about this, but I don't think we should be friends anymore."

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите, когда следует прекратить отношения. Предложите временно перестать общаться. Завершите отношения, если это необходимо.


All friendships start somewhere, and that is with introducing yourself. Find an opportunity to say hello and share your name without being overly pushy.  You could do this at school. It is especially helpful when you have mutual friends with this person, and you find yourself all in a group together. If you find yourself at a party, you can introduce yourself so that both of you have someone to talk to. Introduce yourself if you are assigned to work on a project together or to complete a task together. When you have the opportunity, take time to ask your new acquaintance questions about himself/herself. This shows him/her that you have an interest in getting to know him/her.  “Do you have any brothers and sisters? How many?” “What do you like to do in your free time?” “What sports do you play?" " Do you like cooking?" “What are your hobbies?” “Have you always lived in this area?” “What is your favorite type of music/band/artist?” “Do you like to read? What is your favorite book?” It is almost expected that as you ask your new acquaintance questions, he/she will answer and then ask you the same question about yourself. Be sure to take the time to answer those questions and give him/her the opportunity to get to know you, too.  Friendship is a two-way street, so it is important for both of you to feel that you know each other well in order to build a good friendship. Keep the talking balanced. When you do answer questions, try to take a similar amount of time as your acquaintance did so that you avoid talking more than him/her. While you are in this first stage of getting to know someone, it is best to avoid controversial and personal topics of conversation.  Keep the chat light and upbeat, talking about things you have in common or things you want to know about each other. Redirect the conversation if it gets too personal: “I'm not comfortable talking about that right now. Have you ever been to a concert?” Excuse yourself from the conversation or redirect it if you begin discussing a controversial topic: “I...

TL;DR in Russian:

Представьтесь человеку, с которым вы хотите подружиться. Задавайте человеку вопросы о нем. Отвечайте, если человек задает вопросы о вас. Избегайте серьезных тем. Уделите достаточно времени, чтобы узнать вашего нового знакомого поближе. Обменяйтесь контактной информацией, когда вы будете к этому готовы.


All games will come down to the final minute and you'll find out if all your hard work was enough to win, or if you've still got more work to put into it. Good players are tested at the moment the last whistle blows. Are you going to handle it with quiet dignity? Or are you going to be sore? Sportsmanship starts with knowing how to win gracefully and how to lose just as gracefully.  When you win, it's perfectly fine to celebrate, but never ok to taunt the opposing side. Be happy that you won, but never rub it in. Congratulate and compliment the other players for a job well-done and stay positive about the experience. When you lose, it's ok to be disappointed. No one likes to lose. But don't sulk, make excuses, or lash out at the opposing team or your teammates. Treat each loss as a learning experience. What can you take from the game to use to improve for the next? What could you have done better? Good players don't take shortcuts, or even look for them. Good players recognize that games aren't all about winning or losing, but about how you win or how you lose. You need to be able to look back at your performance with pride, regardless of the outcome. Hold yourself accountable. In many team sports, the rules are a regularly changing thing. Learn the rules and study them, staying up to date on the newest and most recent rules. Good players run on passion and emotion when they're on the field, using their desire to succeed drive them. For some players, coming up with a good storyline or a good dramatic angle to the game is an important way of getting passionate. Saying "It's just a game" is a good way of going half-speed through the rest of the game. Michael Jordan used to invent slights and insults from his opponents, making it personal. He made each game a chance to show up his opponents and prove them wrong (even if they hadn't said anything to begin with). Don't let your emotions take over and push you to poor sportsmanship. Play passionately, not angrily. Practice turning it on and turning it off when...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проиграть достойно и победить убедительно. Следуйте правилам и играйте чисто. Играйте с азартом. Не красуйтесь. Не спорьте с арбитрами.


All good relationships are built on communication, openness, and honesty. Hiding your dreams and passions from her is only going to create a divide between you, making it harder to connect as you drift apart. Bridge this gap by talking openly and often. Share your hopes, fears, and wacky ideas, and she'll feel free to share hers. This includes ideas that are difficult to talk about. You may think you should "protect her," but she is a smart, capable person just like you. She'll feel more touched that you trusted her than hurt by what you have to say. Eye contact breeds trust, closeness, and love. It shows that you're talking honestly and respectfully, whereas looking away may make you seem untrustworthy. Just as importantly, keep you eyes up and away from her body. You don't want a girl to think you only like her for her body. If you have trouble making eye-contact, look between her eyes or at her earlobe. If you're a few feet away, most people won't notice that you're not looking at their eyes. 50% of conversation is listening, but people often forget how important it is to shut up from time to time. Ask her questions and listen thoughtfully, nodding along and asking relevant questions when possible. If you've been talking for 2-3 minutes straight, it is time to slow down and ask her a question.  Make eye-contact as you listen. Ask her simple questions like, "how was your day?" and "what do you think of that?" If you really like this girl, try unique compliments, such as "I love your laugh, it brightens up the whole room," instead of "you have beautiful eyes". Avoid cheesy pick-up lines that she's probably heard before. A compliment only means something if you really mean the compliment. The more genuine and specific your compliment, the better it will be. Think about what you really love about her and let her know. Don't just spit the lines you've heard in movies. Sometimes she doesn't expect you to offer a solution, but instead wants you to listen to her vent. Treat her with care and compassion when she...

TL;DR in Russian:

Открыто обсуждайте проблемы и идеи. Смотрите ей в глаза. Больше слушайте. Делайте комплименты, но только искренние. Будьте рядом, когда она расстроена.


All guys are different, and all problems require different distractions. For one guy, pro football tickets may be the cure-all for anything, while for others it would be a huge waste of money and time. Likewise,  If your guy is just grumpy after work and is really tired and hungry, just let him sit and eat for a while before worrying too much about what to do. He'll likely cheer up with a little unwinding time. More activities will likely make the problem worse. If something more serious is going on, or if your guy can't seem to find his own way out of the rut, plan something yourself instead of waiting. Don't ask "What do you feel like doing?" a million times until he gets irritated. Instead, just say, "I bought tickets to that movie. We're grabbing pizza before hand. Let's go." Your guy's guys may have dealt with his tantrums many more times than you have. Likewise, if he is having problems with your relationship, it may be good for him to get it out with his guy friends, instead of talking to you about it. That's a healthy part of a functional relationship. Plan something for him, if possible. Don't tell his friends the nitty gritty of what's exactly is happening to him. Say something vague like "John seems a little down. Want to come over for the game this Sunday?" If the guy doesn't really feel like talking, suggest an activity that gets you out of the house and gets him focused on something else. Even if it's not an activity that he's a huge fan of, like going grocery shopping, it's still good to get the attention focused elsewhere.  Do some kind of chore you need to do together. Head to the store to pick up a few things and ask if he can come along to help. Don't require it, just ask. Find a good reason for him to come, like that you need help picking something out. Get his mind busy. Try little things, like going for a walk, or getting ice-cream. Even just seeing if there's anything fun on TV can be some kind of distraction. Cue up a dumb meme or puppy vid from the Internet, if necessary. A little...

All heavy pruning is done during the dormant season, but shoot trimming and training is done at the beginning of your growing system, usually in June.  Grape shoots need to develop 14 to 16 well-exposed leaves for grape clusters to ripen, but if there are too many shoots clustered together, the leaves will not receive enough light. Thinning out your shoots early on can provide more light and more energy to the shoots you plan on maintaining. There should be 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) of space in between your shoots. When done early on, you should be able to remove the shoots by hand. Use pruning shears to remove any shoots that you cannot twist off by hand. Each shoot should only have one fruit cluster on it. Trim the shoot down to a point just above that cluster.  Note that the lowest cluster will usually ripen quickest. You might be able to leave multiple clusters on one shoot if the clusters are notably small. A few days before you intend to harvest your grapes, cut off the leaves surrounding your grape bunches.  Doing so improves air circulation, thereby limiting the risk of disease. This step also allows the grapes to ripen more efficiently.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прореживайте побеги в начале вегетационного периода. Распределяйте отростки равномерно. Прореживайте отростки вниз до одной грозди. Удаляйте листья перед сбором урожая.


All hikers should carry lightweight rain gear or at least a poncho in case of rain. If you don’t have these items, try to use what you do have, such as an extra garbage back that you carried just in case or a tarp. Even if you’re trying to stay out of the rain, move around as you wait so that your body stays warmer. For example, march in place or step side to side. Hypothermia can easily set in if you get too cold, so generate as much body heat as you can. Look around you for a place to duck out of the rain, such as a tree canopy, a cave, a cabin, or even your tent. If you plan on camping and have a waterproof tent, you may find that settling in early and riding out the storm is the best solution. If you hear thunder, seek immediate shelter. Staying outside during a thunder storm is dangerous. Rain can cause flooding, mud slides, rock slides, and slippery trails, all of which can be very dangerous. Look for signs such as flowing water, rising tide lines, shifting soil, and a sheen on the surface of the trail. When in doubt, walk away from the questionable terrain. If you’re caught in a lightning storm, the most dangerous places to be include open areas, hills, mountains, trees, cliffs, and waterways. Lightning is most likely to strike these areas, so avoid them.  If you’re in the woods, try to find a small grove of trees that are surrounded by other taller trees. Tuck yourself in the lowest spot you can find. If you are stuck in an open area, look for the lowest spot, crouch down, and keep most of your body from touching the ground. Ideally, just the soles of your feet will make contact with the ground. If you have access to a vehicle, stay inside of it but try not to touch the sides of the car. In a lightning storm, trekking poles and long, pointy objects make a great conductor for the lightning and are therefore very dangerous. Protect yourself by laying these items on the ground away from you. Check the forecast before and during your trek, and watch for signs of a coming storm. If winds pick up and the...

Держитесь подальше от открытых полей, возвышенностей и затопленных местностей. Уберите походные столбы, клинья и другие вытянутые предметы. Обратите внимание на меняющуюся погоду.


All inkjet printers are specifically calibrated for use with certain types of paper media. Using products other than those recommended by the manufacturer will often lead to color saturation issues that can negatively impact the quality of photos and images. Directions for performing scheduled maintenance can be found in the user's manual included with the printer at the time of purchase. Tasks, such as head cleaning and printer alignment, typically can be implemented from the device's control panel.  Adhere to the recommended maintenance on an inkjet printer, as directed by the manufacturer. Blocked nozzles and clogged printer heads are a common source of issues with inkjet printers and can compromise print quality. Turn off the device when not in use. Leaving the device turned on exposes the printer heads to dust particles and debris, which can degrade the quality of images printed from an inkjet printer. Confirm that the latest device drivers and firmware updates are installed on the printer. These updates usually can be downloaded free of charge from the printer manufacturer's website. Save high-quality photo ink cartridges for use only when printing images and graphics to reduce wear and tear on the print heads. Ink cartridges tend to be fragile and can damage easily.

All men and women have emotions, even if they show them in different ways. Men who don’t show much emotion still have emotions, but because of social conditioning they have learned not to show their emotions too much or at all.  This might mean that the man in your life might remain stoic when someone important to him dies. Since anger is an emotion that is more acceptable for men to show, in situations where they might be sad, they will instead get angry.  If your man has a reaction that confuses you, keeping this social conditioning in mind will help you understand his reaction. He has emotions, but he’s been taught not to show them, because it’s perceived as a sign of weakness. Men are often taught to suppress their emotions, which is not always the most productive way to deal with emotions. Suppressing emotions can create a disconnection between emotions and thoughts. This means that men might not even know what they’re feeling. It is important for men to work on expressing emotions because emotion suppression can lead to negative physical and psychological effects.  Because of emotion suppression, your man might not be able to discuss how he is feeling. If he’s willing to work on this with you, realize that this will take practice and time. Realize that suppressing emotions is not only a male trait. Women suppress emotions also. Women also need to work on expressing their emotions in productive ways. Just because women are thought to be better at expressing emotions, this doesn’t mean this is always the case. People are not born knowing how to express their emotions in meaningful and efficient ways. It’s a skill that needs to be learned for both men and women. Unlike that old saying, men are not from Mars and women are not from Venus. Men and women are much more alike than many people would like to admit. In fact, many scientists today prefer to discuss gender differences in terms of a broad continuum of possibilities, as opposed to a strict distinction between two straightforward options. It's important...

TL;DR in Russian:

All mobile phones will automatically identify most incoming phone calls. If you're on a land line (home phone), contact your phone provider to enable caller ID.  Consult your phone manual or contact the manufacturer if you don't know how to check the call log for recent incoming phone numbers on your mobile phone. There are ways to bypass caller ID or even trick it into displaying the wrong number. If caller ID is unsuccessful, move on to the following options. If you are receiving repeated harassment calls from an unknown number, contact your phone provider and ask if these services are available:   Call trap: After requesting a call trap, write down the dates and times you receive harassing phone calls for the next couple weeks (or for as long as your provider requests). Once you report this information to the phone company they will identify the harassing number and report it to law enforcement.      Call trace: Once this service is enabled, pressing the call trace code immediately following the harassing call will send the phone number to law enforcement. (This code is *57 in the United States; your provider should tell you which code to use if you are in a different country.)     Call traps are usually free, while call traces may cost an additional charge. If call trap is not available, or if the harassment is severe, you may be able to convince your phone provider to give you free call trace service.

All of a sudden, your man may be taking on the behavior of an impulsive, immature teenager. He acts recklessly, driving his car too fast, engaging in risky behaviors, and he may even have found a rekindled interest in partying. This is all an attempt to live a younger life, an attempt to live life to its fullest, and an attempt to avoid regret.  Often these men have a desperate desire for freedom and independence like a teen – with the difference being that teens don't have a family to consider. He may seek adventure but be unsure where to find it, disregarding the impact it has on his family. This reckless behavior may take on the form of running away or "taking a break." It becomes hard for him to see satisfaction in his current way of life, so he skirts all his responsibilities in an effort to cultivate something more exciting. Often men in this position will either think of quitting their job, consider never working again even if they can't afford to retire, or change professions entirely. The crisis isn't limited to certain aspects of his life – it's everything from family to appearance to career. He may find that he can't envision life ahead with the people, activities, and career he's currently attached to. When he makes that realization, he inevitably makes changes, if at all possible. It may be just a change of employer or a more drastic change, like starting an entirely new career. Unfortunately, men in midlife crises often have extramarital affairs, or at least flirt with the idea of having one. They may start making sexual gestures towards others – a young co-worker, your daughter's gymnastics coach, a woman they meet at a bar – all in an effort to get more sexual attention. For the record, they know it's inappropriate. Some men will resort to doing this behind the comfort of their computer. They may spend an inordinate amount of time on their computer, often engaged in online chats with strangers. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for a man to pick up a drinking habit during this crisis. He'll...

All of the supplies necessary will be found at an aquarium or pet store; you can shop online if that is more convenient. You will need many supplies for your brine shrimp tank, including:  10 gallon tank Sponge filter (that comes with a tube, a sponge, and a hookup for the air pump) Air pump Tank heater and thermometer A package of brine shrimp cysts (eggs) Aquarium salt mix (setting up a brand new aquarium means you will need about 13 pounds of salt per 50 gallons) 1 gallon container with a lid 10 gallons reverse osmosis water Refractometer or hydrometer for measuring salinity Gravel vacuum Flashlight Saltwater tanks should not be near any windows, doors, heater vents, direct sunlight, or air conditioners so the temperature of the water does not change rapidly. The tank should also be set up near electrical outlets because you will need to plug in the heater and air pump.  Leave room between the tank and the wall so the air pump will easily fit. The surface should also be level. Dry the outside of the tank once you are done, and then place the tank where it belongs in your home. Make a saltwater mixture with aquarium salt and reverse osmosis filtered water. Fill the 10 gallon tank with 9 gallons of water so there is room for the salt. Then, add the salt per manufacturer’s instructions.  The salt container will have specific instructions for calculating the amount of salt necessary for your tank. Don’t worry if you add too much or too little salt; you can adjust the levels before adding the brine shrimp cysts. The salinity of the tank should always be 30-35 ppt (parts per thousand).Use the instructions for your refractometer or hydrometer to measure the salinity of the tank, and add more salt or more reverse osmosis water accordingly.  Operating the refractometer or hydrometer involves placing some of the water inside via a dropper or other apparatus. Test the water until you reach the correct salinity. If you’ve mixed the saltwater correctly according to the manufacturer’s instructions, you will not have to...

All of the symptoms of iodine deficiency are related to its effect on your thyroid. Your thyroid is a gland in your throat that regulates your metabolic processes, such as growth and energy in your body. If you don’t have enough iodine in your diet, this can lead to iodine deficiency disorders such as:  Goiter: This is when your thyroid enlarges, or develops a goiter, as it tries to keep up with the demand for thyroid hormone production in your body. Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of goiter. If you have goiter, you may experience symptoms like choking, especially when lying down, and difficulty swallowing and breathing. Hypothyroidism: This is when you have an underactive thyroid gland, as your thyroid can’t make enough thyroid hormone to keep your body running normally. If you have hypothyroidism, your body’s processes will start to slow down. You may feel colder, tire more easily, your skin may get drier, and you may become forgetful or depressed. The symptoms for hypothyroidism are variable so the only way to confirm you have this disorder is to get a blood test. Patients with thyroid disorders should not automatically start an iodine supplement because there are certain types of thyroid disease that are contraindications for iodine supplements. Pregnancy related issues: Severe iodine deficiency (which is extremely rare and even unheard of in the United States) in mothers has been associated with miscarriages, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and congenital abnormalities. The children of mothers with severe iodine deficiency during pregnancy can have mental issues and problems with growth, hearing, and speech. In fact, even mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy may be associated with low intelligence in children. Iodine is released from your body when you pee. Thus, the best way to determine if you have iodine deficiency is to speak to your doctor and have her do tests on your urine. She will then be able to look at the results and check if you have an iodine deficiency based on the iodine...

All of these layers create the final image in Photoshop. Not only do these layers consist of your final JPEG file, they also give you a final PSD file. If you’re not familiar with it, PSD is an acronym that simply stands for Photoshop documents. The different layers can either be made invisible or visible on your image. They can also be rasterized to remove a segment of the layers. When you rasterize an image, you are basically turning it into a graphic so that you can manipulate it. On the interface that appears, select File from the Menu. Click Open on the drop-down list. Find and open your image on the Open window. This is so you don’t make any changes to the original. If you look in the Layers panel, you’ll see that you now have two layers with the same image. The original stays safe on the Background layer, and the editing work you’re about to do will be on the copy on Layer 1 above it. It’s a good idea to adjust the name. Otherwise, you could easily get it mixed up with the original. So that you know which image it is, however, you may want to keep the same name but at the end in all caps, add “WITH TEXT REMOVED.” To do this, right-click directly on Layer 1. The Rename option will appear. Change the name. Press Return (Mac) and Enter (Win) to accept the name change. Inside the toolbox, right-click on layer and choose Rasterize layer from the options. Select the Lasso tool from the toolbar option. Then select part of the image that you want to remove. Hit Delete. From the Menu, select File and Save to save the changes you made.  Of all the tools in Photoshop, the Lasso Tool is probably the easiest to understand. With it selected, your cursor will appear as a small lasso icon, and you click somewhere along the side of the text that you want to delete. Continue holding the mouse button and drag to draw an outline around it. When you’re finished, hit delete to remove the text.  To better understand layers, you can look at them as simply one image on top of another. Imagine you have a piece of paper and you...

All of your current desires ultimately stem from who you are as a person, and where you've already been. Before you get on to imagining goals for the future, it's important to have a strong idea of where you already are in life. Set some time aside to ponder who you are, and what you've already done at this point.  Would you say you're satisfied with the way your life has turned out? What aspects are you most or least satisfied with? Is there a significant gap between your potential and the life you're currently living? Asking yourself these questions will give you a clearer shot at pinpointing your goals. It's helpful to actually write a few paragraphs about yourself. Frame this as a sort of freewriting exercise. Don't try to edit or micromanage your writing. Give an earnest portrayal of where you're at, including the status of your work, school, hobbies and personal life. Don't be afraid to be extremely personal with it-- no one ever needs to read it but you. After having analyzed your current life, it's not a far stretch to envision the things you'd like to see done differently. Think about the life you have, and use that as a springboard to imagine your ideal life. What would be different? Break down your dream life into aspects-- work, love, social etc. Write a sentence at least for each applicable aspect of your life. Mapping it out as a thought web is helpful as well.  The difference between your real life and your ideal life should be the basis for the goals you have for yourself. For example, for describing one aspect of your life, you might write: "I would like to see myself making music on a regular basis and playing concerts for a group of adoring fans." A more practical example might be: "I would like to see myself gain a position at my company where I'm doing work that satisfies and properly challenges me." When you write something down, you make it clear and more defined. If you're already looking to manifest your desires, it's likely you already have some goals in mind. If not, look to the...

All outfits at country concerts stem from one of these two looks.  Denim is a key component to any country outfit.   Jeans can come in different styles and colors. Jean skirts, boyfriend jeans, jean shorts, and jean jackets are all perfect for a country concert. They have a casual look but can still be tweaked to look feminine. Lighter colored jeans work best for day concerts but dark tones work best for nighttime. Floral prints, flowing fabrics, and ruffly cuts are all feminine choices.  "Sexy" isn't the style at country concerts. Summer dresses, day dress and maxi dresses are all fashionable decisions. Country concerts tend to be more casual than pop concerts. Your dress should be more conservative. Miniskirts really aren't practical or comfortable. Remember, country style is more geared towards a casual look. Flannel is always in style at a country concert.   Looser button ups, camisoles, and tank tops are all great options. Ruffles, lace and bows are all details that work for this type of concert. Wear a denim jacket over a t-shirt or camisole. Denim is very fashionable in a country look Country looks emphasize cowboy hats and boots.   Add a cowboy hat for a playful look. Cowboy boots, or boots in general, are always a popular option. Jewelry should be delicate like studs, charm bracelets, and long natural looking necklaces. Emphasize both comfort and femininity. Don't wear too much makeup or overdo your hair. A natural look is most fashionable for a country concert.   Wear your hair down in loose curls, up in a messy bun or in a single braid. For make-up it's important to be natural and minimal. A pink, glowing blush is a must. Don't wear bright eyeshadow or lipstick. Harsh, bright colors don't really go with the casual vibe of country fashion.

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите для начала — джинсы или платье. Можете предпочесть платье. Выберите легкую женственную рубашку к джинсам. Подберите аксессуары к наряду. Завершите свой образ прической и макияжем.


All people - single and not - need creative outlets to minimize stress, generate happy vibes, and connect with those around you. Relationships can become a detriment when people are so immersed in "we" that they forget about the "I". Relish in your singlehood by taking time out to do the things you enjoy whether it is crafting, canoeing, or writing poems. Who says being single means missing out on fun? Get out of the house and take advantage of the events offered in your local community or the surrounding cities. Tour a museum you've never been to. Make plans with your best buds to attend an upcoming concert or music festival. Going to the ballet, opera, or art gallery is actually good for you! Research shows a connection between attending cultural activities and better self-reports of overall health. If you have been in a relationship for many years, you may not remember how to be alone. You may even hate being alone. Yes, spending time with others is important, but solitude is an essential aspect of personal growth. Read, watch movies, or simply sit on your patio and enjoy the setting sun. Take 5-10 minutes out of each day to sit alone and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and opinions of the day. If the process of being alone makes you uncomfortable, write about the experience. Why is it hard for you? What exactly about being alone don't you like? ppreciate the benefits of being single. Challenge the idea that single is "bad". Not having a significant other is a choice just the same as where you live or work. You can fully enjoy your single life - whether it is decidedly temporary or permanent. Here are a few things single people have to their advantage:  The ability to pursue passions and interests The ability to be totally spontaneous - no need to coordinate with another The option to figure out what you want before entering another relationship The freedom to  live life on your own terms  The ability to casually date, if you want

All pets are different and have unique personalities.  Some do well when left alone for longer periods of time and others do not.  Pets that are more social, have medical conditions, or that are used to having lots of interaction with others may not do as well on their own for long periods of time.  Also consider your pet's feeding schedule or if your pet likes to get into things and make a mess when you are not around. Younger pets may not be able to handle being left alone as well as more mature pets. If your animal has separation anxiety, a pet-sitter or a boarding house may be a good option. Two weeks before your vacation, start leaving your pet home alone for longer periods of time. If you usually leave your pet at home while you are away at work, leave your house for a couple of hours after work each day. If you usually see your pet during the day, leave your pet at home while you are at work. This will prepare your pet to spend more time alone. If you are leaving your pet in someone else's care, it is important that you give him or her enough information to care for your pet. Leave your contact information, the phone number of your veterinarian in case of an emergency. If your pet has any special dietary needs or likes specific treats or toys, write this information down. Include information about your pet's routine, bathroom habits, schedule, and any medications. Also include any information about your pet's personality that someone may need to know. Does your pet get excited when someone is at the door?  Does your pet have a favorite hiding place? Be as detailed as possible when writing down the instructions. It is better to give someone too much information than not enough. It is important that your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations and is healthy before you leave for vacation. This is also the time to ask about the best options for leaving your pet when you are gone. Your veterinarian may have recommendations for pet sitters and boarding options.  Leaving your pet in a safe and trusted place will...

All professional piercing locations should have properly sterilized earrings and piercing equipment, and most new earrings will come in sterilized packaging. If you decide to bring your own earrings to the piercer, soaking them in rubbing alcohol is a great way to sterilize them. It is important that you clean your new ear piercings 2-3 times per day. After each cleaning, you should turn the earrings one full rotation to avoid any scabs or infection. Make sure to wash your hands with antibacterial soap prior to cleaning your ears.  Some choose to clean their piercings with rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. These are good options, but they do tend to sting. Some recommend cleaning your new piercings with salt water. This is a more natural method, but is just as effective. Some piercing stores give out an after-care solution for you to clean your ears with.  Apply your cleaning solution of choice with cotton swabs or cotton balls. Gently rub your cotton ball or cotton swab on the front and back of your piercing. It is important that you do not take your earrings out for a minimum of 6 weeks for lobe piercings and 12 weeks for cartilage piercings. If you take your earrings out, your ears are likely to close or possibly get an infection. For the first 6 months after your piercing, try to leave earrings in at all times. Fresh piercings can close very quickly, so it's best to leave in your earrings to allow your piercings to completely heal. It's common to be anxious to change your earrings but resist the urge. Keep in your basic hoops or studs until your piercing has completely healed. If you change your earrings too soon, you risk damaging or infecting your piercings. Piercings are prone to infections if they aren't properly cleaned, which is why you must take extreme care when cleaning your piercings. If you notice signs of infection, visit your doctor. Some signs that your piercing has become infected include:  Tenderness around your piercing after the first 48 hours. Swelling around the piercing more than...

All programs will appear on the Dock while they are open. Quit the application first so you can tell when you've successfully removed it from the Dock. A program is open if it has a small dot next to the Dock icon, even if no windows are open. Right-click the icon (or hold Control and click}) and select "Quit" or "Force Quit" to close the program. Click and hold the program icon on your Dock. Drag the icon at least a third of the way across the screen, away from the Dock. Don't release the mouse button right away, or the program will just jump back to the Dock. Wait until the program icon turns transparent. (You might see other visual indicators on some versions of OS X, such as the word "Remove" or a little cloud appearing over the icon.) If nothing happens to the icon, move it farther from the Dock. An animation resembling a poof of smoke will indicate that the program icon has been removed from the Dock. You can also use a drop down menu to remove an item from the Dock:  Right-click the icon (or hold down Control and click). Hover over "Options." Select "Remove from Dock." If the Options sub-menu says "Keep in Dock" as well, the program is open. Click "Keep in Dock" to uncheck that option, and the program will disappear from the Dock once you close it.

All rabbit's nails grow at different paces, so there isn't a concrete rule on how often nails should be clipped. Generally you should inspect your rabbit's nails once a month. If the nail curves at all, it is too long and it needs to be clipped. If you can hear your rabbit's nails hitting the floor when he hops, this is another indication that it's time to clip his nails.  Wild rabbits don't need pedicures — their claws wear down from digging, foraging, and other routine tasks. Domestic rabbits, however, do not use their claws so much, and it is your job to make sure that they don't grow too long or sharp.  Rabbits have four nails on their rear feet. On their front paws, they have the four toenails, and then the dewclaw. The dewclaw sits slightly higher than the other toenails, on the inside of the paw. People typically use both dog- and cat-claw trimmers to cut rabbit claws. Either option will do the job, so your choice is mostly a matter of personal preference. Make sure to choose a clipper that matches the size of your rabbit: if you have a very small rabbit, it will be much easier to cut its claws with a small set of clippers. Some nail clippers actually include a safety to ensure that you don't cut too much.  Scissor-style clippers. These clippers are usually used to trim cat nails. As the name suggests, they look and work just like scissors. You may enjoy the freedom of motion and movement these clippers offer over the next style. Guillotine-style clippers. These clippers are typically used for dogs because they can handle thicker nails. Much like a guillotine, these clippers have a circular hole into which you slip the nail. Squeeze the handle, and a blade cuts the nail. Guillotine clippers may give you slightly more control than the scissors. It's possible that if you cut your rabbit's nails too short, they will bleed a little. There is a blood vessel—called a quick—inside each of your rabbit's claws, and it may begin to bleed profusely if snipped. Styptic powder promotes clotting, so it is good to...

All relationships — long-distance or not — benefit from open communication. Before committing to be long-distance, you and your partner should have a serious discussion about how the relationship will work.  What are your hopes and expectations for the relationship? What are your fears? How often do you expect to check in with each other? Do you expect to communicate with each other in some way every day? How often will you visit each other in person? What's realistic given your budget and responsibilities (i.e. school/work schedule)? Will you see other people while you're apart, or will you be monogamous? How will you satisfy your physical needs/desires from afar? You can do this by talking about your relationship but also through daily actions. One great way to do this is to keep your partner updated on your everyday life, including the people you interact with.  Keeping your partner updated on your daily life will help them feel more involved in your world and your daily life. This will help them feel more secure in the important role they play in your life.  Consider your partner's feelings when making choices. For example, going out for late-night drinks with a cute member of the opposite sex or an ex when your partner is halfway across the world might make even a secure partner a bit nervous. Chances are that you ultimately hope to be in the same place as your partner. Being clear about your end goals will help keep you and your partner committed to the relationship.  Discussing the end game of your relationship will also help ensure that you and your partner are on the same page. Maybe you're hoping to get married in a few years if all goes well. If you're both just enjoying an international fling, that's okay too. It's just important that you both know that, otherwise you might have one person pining over the other while the other is happily dating around, which isn't fair. Even if these plans don't go ahead, talk about your future. Where would you like to visit with your partner and what would you...

All right, now that you've got the meat of it together, how do you put it onto paper? Well, for starters, cut it to length. It should be a page long at most, if that. No one's going to waste time on 5 paragraphs unless you're covering WWIII. Here's what you need (some of which we've already covered):   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE should go at the top of the page, on the left margin. If the release is embargoed, put "EMBARGOED UNTIL..." with the date you want the story released. A release with no release date is presumed to be for immediate release.  The headline, usually in bold, should be centered below that. If you'd like, put a subhead in italics (briefly elaborating the headline).   First paragraph: most important information. May be quite news-like in that, it starts with a date or where the news is coming from.  Second (and probable third) paragraph:  secondary information. Should include quotes and facts.  Boilerplate information: more on your company. Who are you, really? What achievements do you have? What's your mission?  Contact information: more on the writer (probably you!). If you grab someone's interest, they'll want to be able to find out more!  Multimedia: in today's day and age, there's always some Twitter handle to be had. That means it's time to include information about your company. When a journalist picks up your press release for a story, he or she would logically have to mention the company in the news article. Journalists can then get the company information from this section.  The title for this section should be "About [XYZ_COMPANY]." After the title, use a paragraph or two to describe your company with 5 or 6 lines each. The text must describe your company, its core business and the business policy. Many businesses already have professionally written brochures, presentations, business plans, etc. That introductory text can be put here. At the end of this section, point to your website. The link should be the exact and complete URL without any embedding so that, even if this page is...

All snakes may bite if provoked, but some pack more of a punch and are venomous. It can be hard for someone without an expertise in snakes to tell from only looking at a snake, so proceed with caution. If you suspect that a snake is venomous, do not try to catch it with your hands. Some of the most common U.S. based venomous snakes are:  Copperhead snakes. These are found most commonly in the eastern and mid-southern states. They get their name from unique copper colored scales on their head that slowly fade throughout the rest of their body.Their markings are often triangular in shape.   Cottonmouth snake.These are usually four to seven feet in length. They are generally a dark shade of brown or a dull black. They have pupils that are shaped like slits and have a bulky body. They are found predominantly in the southern U.S., throughout Florida and the Mississippi River region.   Diamondback Rattlesnake. These can grow up ten feet long. They are recognized by their distinctive black or brown diamond patterns down their bodies outlined in a light shade of yellow. They are a rattlesnake, and as that name implies, they have a series of hollow segments on the end of their tale that create a rattle sound when its shook. They live in the southern and south western parts of the U.S. and some of Mexico.   Coral snake. These snakes can be difficult to recognize since it resembles other similar species. They are found in the eastern, southwestern, and southeastern portions of the U.S. They can grow to be around thirty inches. They are universally a red-yellow-black-yellow pattern with black heads. They are venomous, so you should be very careful if you think you spot one. Catching a snake by hand is a little trickier, and should be done with caution. However, if you do not have any tools or nets handy, you can catch a snake using your hands. Use an object to distract the snake's head, like a stick. Firmly grasp its tail and lift the snake upwards, leaving the front part of its body on the ground, but keeping your legs...

Убедитесь в том, что змея неядовита и ее можно ловить голыми руками. Осторожно схватите змею. Не забывайте надевать перчатки, когда прикасаетесь к змеям.


All snakes, including ball pythons, will grow quite a bit over the course of their lives.  Ball pythons in particular will grow quite large and will require a proper living environment as they do.  You should be prepared for this before you attempt to care for a ball python.  Female ball pythons will grow to around 3' to 5' in length, males to around 2' to 3'. You will need to provide enough space for a fully grown ball python. You will need to feed a snake of this size large rodents. Caring for any animal is a serious commitment.  You will need to feed, clean and maintain the health of your ball python over the course of its entire life.  Make sure you are ready for a long-term commitment before deciding to care for a ball python.  Ball pythons have lived up to 40 years. Generally, ball pythons will live between 20 to 30 years. Once you've decided that you can provide proper care for a ball python it's  time to go find your new friend.  Thankfully, ball pythons are very popular amongst pet owners and they are easy to find in most pet stores.  Start looking for a ball python that is right for you once you feel prepared to care for it.  Reptile breeders will likely have ball pythons available. Attending a reptile expo can also help you find your new ball python. Ball pythons should already be eating and well fed before you buy them. Snakes aren't used to being held in the wild.  As a result, you will need to know when it's acceptable to hold your snake and when it will only cause stress.  Take a look at some of these key ideas when considering if it's the right time to interact with your snake:  Allow your snake to eat one meal in its new home before trying to handle it. Wait at least a week before handling new snakes. Don't be afraid to hold the snake after that week. Young snakes should be held no more than once a week. Adult snakes can be held around once a week. Don't interact with your ball python after it's eaten.  Wait around two days after your snake eats to make sure it is comfortable. If you plan on...

All species of phlox produce flowers in a wide range of colors including white, pink, red, lavender and blue. Different varieties serve different needs in the garden. Do some research to decide which one is right for your growing zone. Purchase potted phlox plants sold locally at garden centers or farmer's markets for transplanting any time during the growing season. Your local garden center or nursery can advise you on which species grow best in your area.  Garden and meadow phlox are perfect for garden borders, since they grow quite wide and tall.  Low-growing phlox varieties are perfect to use as groundcover in shady areas, especially as many are mildew-resistant.  You can also buy bare-root plants from a mail order company, but bare root plants are best planted in the spring. Phlox are hardy, low maintenance flowers that can do well in most locations, though most varieties of phlox prefer full sun. However, some are tolerant of partial or filtered shade. Find a location that works for the variety you have chosen. Phlox grown in the shade often produce fewer flowers. They are also at increased risk for contracting a disease, so if you choose to plant phlox in the shade, look for a variety that is mildew-resistant. Phlox need plenty of moisture to do well, but they shouldn't be waterlogged. To make sure your soil drains well, take a look at it after a heavy rain. If you see standing water and puddles there, the soil doesn't have good drainage. If the area is wet, but not soaking, it should be fine for growing phlox. Phlox like rich soil, so it's necessary to work in some compost to ensure they grow healthy and strong. Till the soil to a depth of 12 inches (30 cm) and amend it with organic compost or peat moss. Dig holes that are 1 to 2 feet (0.30 to 0.61 m) apart to provide adequate ventilation. The holes should be twice as wide as the plants' root balls. Set the phlox plants into the holes and pat soil around their bases. Water the phlox after planting.

TL;DR in Russian:

All spills on marble should be cleaned up immediately. This is because marble is a porous material and can absorb spills. If you let something sit too long, your marble will discolor or stain. Take a wet microfiber cloth and use it to blot up anything you’ve spilled on the marble floor. pH neutral cleaners won’t damage marble floors. As a result, stay away from acidic cleaners. They might scratch or hurt the shine of marble floors. Avoid:  Vinegar Ammonia Citrus cleaners (like lemon or orange). Cleaners intended for ceramic floors. One of the worst things you can do to your floor is to let it air dry. By letting it air dry, you’ll allow the water/solution to soak into the marble. This could stain or discolor the marble. The best way to limit staining on your floor is to seal your marble periodically. Locate a sealing product specifically formulated for marble. Read the directions and apply the seal onto the surface of the marble. Depending on the product (and use), you may have to reseal every three to five years.  Make sure to protect other surfaces, such as wood, tile, or grout, with plastic or painters tape. Contact a professional if you are uncomfortable sealing your marble floors by yourself. Area rugs and floor runners can help protect your marble floors, especially in high-traffic areas. Use area rugs in places like the living room and rug runners in hallways to prevent scuffing and scratching. Adding a no-slip pad under your rugs will help further protect your floors and keep your rugs in place.

TL;DR in Russian:

All spouses get annoyed with each other and complain about pet peeves. However, if you and your spouse launch constant personal attacks, being in each other's presence feels like walking on eggshells.  Instead of saying, “You always ignore me. There's something wrong with you,” say, “I feel belittled and insecure when I say something and you don't respond. I'd appreciate it if we could work on treating each other with more respect.” Constructive feedback addresses specific actions instead of targeting someone's personality. If you want to save your marriage, you and your spouse need to learn how to discuss your problems respectfully and constructively. , breathe, and relax instead of yelling. No matter how frustrated you are with your spouse, do your very best to control your temper. In order to save your marriage, you and your spouse both need to keep your emotions in check. Inhale slowly, close your eyes, count, and remind yourself that you'll only solve your problems with mutual respect.  Whenever you're about to blow your top, count to 10 before you say anything. As tough as it is, resist the urge to fight, and think about your spouse's message. If your spouse is shouting, say, “I understand that you're upset, and I feel like yelling, too. But screaming at each other isn't going to get us anywhere. Let's cool down and show each other respect.” Stonewalling is when a partner shuts down or gives the silent treatment. You and your spouse need to communicate in order to resolve conflicts. If one or both of you shut down, you'll never solve your problems.  Try saying, “I know it can be tough to work through problems, and it's easier just to ignore each other. If we're going to make it, we have to set a rule that we talk things through instead of putting up walls.” Keep in mind it's okay to take time to cool down instead of discussing things in the heat of an argument. However, don't just ignore each other. Instead, say, “I think we should cool down for a bit, then talk this through when we're both calm.” Give...

All superheroes come from somewhere. The background story of superheroes gives us a lot of information about those heroes. Who would Superman be without the destruction of Krypton? Who would Batman be without the death of his rich parents?  Where does your hero come from? Who were/are your hero's parents? How did your hero gain powers or were they born with them? What does your hero do for a living? What was your character scared of as a child? Who are your character's friends? What does your character want? Does your character have any allies? Now comes the fun part. A superhero's look and uniform are the things that will set them apart from all the other heroes. Superheroes have to look cool, and ready to do battle with evil. Think of a few colors and specific clothing items that will mark your character.  Let the uniform match the abilities. If your superhero has Superman-like abilities, they probably won't need much in the way of protective gear or fancy gadgets. Many characters wear masks to help protect their secret identity. In general, capes are Golden/Silver age traits for a hero, but it's still possible to get away with one. Come up with a symbol. What mark or badge will your character have to let people recognize them instantly? Think of Superman's S and the symbol on Green Lantern's ring. Some comic book heroes don't always have full uniforms, just little things that help you identify them. Think of Wolverine's hair and sideburns. Just as important to the story of a good superhero is their alter-ego or secret identity. A superhero is cool, but the alter-ego is where your superhero comes to life. What does your hero do when they're not swooping in to save the day? Who are they as real people? That's where great characters are made.  Good superheroes need to struggle. Clark Kent is a perfect alter-ego for Superman because he can't do anything right. And the Kryptonian named Kal-El would probably struggle to get everything right on his new Earth home. In some cases, your hero's secret identity might...

All the fruit should be ripe (or even overripe)--ripened fruit is sweeter, so you won't need to add any extra sugar. . Use a small, sharp knife to cut the core out of the strawberries.  Insert the tip of the knife into the top of the strawberry, right where it turns white. Cut out the white center of the strawberry. In doing so, you will remove the leaves as well. If you don't have fresh strawberries, it's ok to use frozen. The taste might not be as intense or fresh, but it will still be delicious! Clean the blender after use, since you will be using it again for the peaches and the kiwi. This should catch all the strawberry seeds so they don't end up in your frozen lolly. You can substitute another sweetener for simple syrup. Try honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. Sample a little of the puree to make sure it's sweet enough. If not, add a little bit more sweetener, to taste. If you don't have an ice pop mold, you can substitute a paper or disposable plastic cup. Don't try to substitute a glass for the pop mold--as the juice freezes, it expands, and it may break the glass. This will ruin your pop and make a dangerous, sharp mess in your freezer. This should take 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover the mold with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If the molds came with covers that double as a handle/popsicle stick, wait to use these. If the first layer of your ice lolly freezes around the stick, you won't be able to add the next two layers. If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches that are already peeled, stoned, and sliced. Just drain the water from the can. Your blender won't have to work as hard to puree the fruit if it's cut into little slices. Using a paring knife, cut all the way through one side of the peach, until your knife hits the pit.  Run the knife all the way around the peach, keeping the blade against the pit, cutting the peach in half.  Hold the peach in your hands and twist each half in opposite directions until the come apart. The pit should still be stuck in one half of the peach. ...

All the symptoms of type 1 diabetes are a result of hyperglycemia or high glucose in the body, and the body working to balance it out. Increased thirst (polydipsia) is one of the most common symptoms. Extreme thirst occurs as a result of the body trying to flush out all of the glucose in the blood stream since it can't be of use (because there is no insulin to escort it into the cells). Your child may feel thirsty all the time or may drink unusually large amounts of water that are far beyond their normal daily fluid intake.   According to standard guidelines, children should drink between five and eight glasses of fluids per day. Young children (ages 5 – 8) should drink less (about five glasses), and older children should drink more (eight glasses).  However, these are ideal guidelines, and only you can know how much water and other liquids your child actually intakes on a daily basis. Thus, the assessment of increased thirst is relative to what your child usually consumes. If they usually drink just about three glasses of water and a glass of milk with dinner, but now constantly ask for water and other drinks and are drinking a lot more than their usual three to four glasses a day, this may be cause for concern. Your child may feel a thirst that cannot be quenched even if they intake a lot of water. They may even still appear dehydrated. Increased frequency of urination, also known as polyuria, is the body's attempt to filter out the glucose with urination. Of course, it is also a result of increased thirst. As your child drinks more water, the body will produce more urine, resulting in considerably higher incidences of urination.  Be especially vigilant about the nighttime and check to see if your child is urinating more than usual in the middle of the night.  There is not an average number of times that children urinate a day; this depends on their food and water intake and so what is normal for one child will not necessarily be normal for another. However, you can compare your child's current frequency of...

All you have to know is that all of the angles in a triangle always add up to 180°. This is true 100% of the time. So, if you know two of the three measurements of the triangle, then you're only missing one piece of the puzzle. The first thing you can do is add up the angle measurements you know. In this example, the two angle measurements you know are 80° and 65°. Add them up (80° + 65°) to get 145°. The angles in a triangle add up to 180°. Therefore, the remaining angle must make the sum up the angles up to 180°. In this example, 180° - 145° = 35°. You now know that the third angle measures 35°. If you're doubting yourself, just check your work. The three angles should add up to 180° for the triangle to exist. 80° + 65° + 35° = 180°. You're all done.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сложите известные значения двух углов. Вычтите сумму из 180°. Запишите ответ.


All you need for the basic compress is a clean tube sock and some dry, uncooked rice, beans or oats to go inside it. However, if you want to give the compress a pleasant fragrance, you’ll also need a little bit of powdered peppermint, cinnamon, or whichever aroma you’d prefer. You can use some herbs from your kitchen, the contents of an herbal tea bag or essential oils. Try adding relaxing lavender, chamomile, sage, or mint to your compress for an even more soothing experience. Whether you’re using the rice, beans, or oats, pour them into the tube sock until it’s mostly full—about ½-¾ full. Just leave enough sock material on the end to tie a knot, unless you plan on sewing the end of the sock to make a permanent warm compress. Then you can fill it nearly to the top. As you fill the sock, you can add small pinches of your fragrant powder or herbs so there will be a pleasant aroma throughout the compress. Depending on how long you want to keep your compress, you can seal the sock temporarily or permanently. Tying a firm knot into the sock will keep the contents in place for a short period of time, but let you reuse the sock later. You can also sew the open end of the sock together for a more permanent compress.  Note that sealing the sock very close to its contents will make for a hard compress, while sealing it far away will leave its contents loose. Experiment a little bit with how hard or soft you want the compress to feel before sealing it. If you leave the contents a little looser, you can drape the sock easily over your neck and shoulders to treat pain there. After you have sealed your compress, microwave it for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds you can feel it and see how warm it is. If you are happy with the level of warmth, you can take it out and use it. If you want it to be warmer, continue microwaving the compress in increments of 10 seconds until the compress is as warm as you’d like it to be. Remember that placing scalding hot materials against your skin can cause blisters and burns. A range between...

All you need for this method is a piece of paper and a tape measure. No calculations are necessary; however, if you're interested in how this works, you might need to know a little trigonometry.  The method Using a Clinometer or Transit goes into the full calculations and reasons why this work, but you don't need to go into it to find the height using this method. If the paper is rectangular (not square), you'll have to make a rectangular sheet of paper into a square. Fold one corner over so it forms a triangle with the opposite side, then cut off the extra paper above the triangle. You should be left with the triangle you need. The triangle will have one right (90 degree) angle and two 45 degree angles. One of the short sides should be horizontal (flat), and the other should be vertical (pointing straight up). You should be able to look up along the longest side by raising your eyes. The longest side, the one you'll be looking along, is called the hypotenuse of the triangle. Close one eye and use the other to look directly along the longest side of the triangle, until you see the exact top of the tree. You want to find the point where your line of sight follows the longest side of the triangle to the very top of the tree. This distance is almost the full height of the tree. Add your own height to this, since you were looking at the tree from the height of your eyes off the ground. Now you have the full answer! To learn how this works, see the "Using a Clinometer or Transit" section. You don't need to do any calculations in this method, because there's a little trick: the tangent of a 45º angle (which you used) equals 1. The equation can be simplified to this: (Height of tree) / (distance from tree) = 1. Multiple each side by (distance from tree) and you get: Height of tree = distance from tree.

TL;DR in Russian:

Этот способ позволяет найти высоту дерева, не прибегая к математическим вычислениям. Сложите лист бумаги по диагонали так, чтобы получился треугольник. Поднесите треугольник к одному глазу. Отдаляйтесь от дерева до тех пор, пока не увидите, что его верхушка совпадает с вершиной треугольника (его верхним острым углом). Отметьте соответствующее место на земле и измерьте расстояние от него до основания дерева.


All you need is a little bit of butter spread across the pans with a paper towel, or a nonstick cooking spray. Use a whisk, an electric mixer, or a stand mixer (like a Kitchen-Aid). It usually helps, furthermore, to pre-scramble the eggs with a fork to make sure the yolks and whites mix in evenly. Take these three wet ingredients and mix them together in a small bowl off to the side. Remember that, the darker and more ripe the banana, the better it will be for banana cake, as overripe bananas are sweeter and softer. When done mixing the wet ingredients, add to the oil and egg mixture. Mix together all of these powdered, dry ingredients and then use a fork or a whisk to break up any clumps. For perfect cakes, you should sift the flour in, which perfectly breaks up clumps for a nice smooth batter. Add the walnuts, and if using, the sultanas. Chocolate chips are also a wonderful addition that could go in now, if desired. If you have an electric mixer, this is your best choice. Turn it on low and slowly incorporate the flour mixture into your milk/oil/banana mixture, adding the flour, mixing in 80% of it then adding more flour. Mix until all of the dry ingredients are mixed with the wet. Make sure it is level and without air pockets. A good way to do this is to bang fill the tins up and then bang the bottom of the pans on the counter top lightly, which should shake out any air bubbles. If you stab the cake with a skewer, it should come out with no wet batter, only a few crumbs. As soon as you remove the cakes, let them cool for 3-5 minutes and then turn them out onto wire racks to finish cooling completely.

All you need is a piece of paper and either a pen or a pencil — it seems simple enough, right? However, poor quality materials can make a significant impact on the legibility of your writing.  The page should be smooth — not rough enough to catch the tip of your pen and create snags in the line of your letters, and not so smooth that the tip of your pen goes sliding about without your control. Use lined paper sized appropriately for your comfort level — wide-ruled if you write large letters, college-ruled if you write small letters. Note that in many professional contexts, adults are expected to write within the limits of college-ruled paper, but feel free to use wide-ruled if you are still young and in school. Experiment with different types of pens to see which one works best for you. There are several styles, each with their own benefits and drawbacks.  Fountain pens use liquid ink and have a flexible writing tip that allows for stylized, better handwriting. While it delivers a beautiful line, a good fountain pen can be pricey, and it takes a good deal of practice to perfect the fountain pen technique. Ballpoint pens use a paste ink which some find unappealing compared to liquid ink; however, they can be extremely inexpensive. Note that you’ll get what you pay for with ballpoint pens — a cheap pen will deliver poor handwriting, so it may be worth it to spend a little extra money. Rollerball pens have a “ball” delivery system much like a ballpoint pen, but many people prefer them because they use the higher quality liquid rather than paste ink. However, they don’t last as long as ballpoint pens do. The gel ink used in gel ink pens is thicker than liquid ink and results in a smooth feel and line that many people enjoy. Gel ink pens come in a wide variety of colors but can dry out quickly. Fiber tip pens use a felt tip to deliver ink, and many writers enjoy their distinctive feel when drawn against a page — smooth, but with a little friction or resistance. Because the ink dries quickly, these pens are a good...
