The first settings is where your downloaded files are saved to. You select this if you want all downloaded files to be saved in one default folder. The default folder name will appear in the white box beside the option.  If you want to change the default folder, click on the gray “Change” box beside the option. Use the window that will appear to navigate through your folders until you find the one that you want to use then click “OK” to set it as default. You may want to change the folder you are saving your downloads to if you are sharing the computer with someone else. The next setting under “Downloads” is a check box. You can click inside the box to check it if you want to pick where every single individual download goes rather than having them downloaded into one folder. This option is great if you keep your downloads organized by type. When you’re done setting your options, just close the menu. There is no extra saving option; once you change the settings, they change automatically.

The first sign of a fractured finger is pain. Your experience of pain and depends on the severity of your finger fracture. After sustaining an injury to your finger, treat it carefully and keep an eye on your pain levels.  It can be hard to identify if you have a finger fracture right away, because acute pain and tenderness are also symptoms of dislocations and sprains. Look for other symptoms and/or seek medical attention if you are unsure of the severity of your injury. After sustaining a fracture to your finger, you will notice acute pain that is followed by swelling or bruising. This is part of your body’s natural response to injury. After fracture, your body activates the inflammatory response followed by swelling caused by fluid released into the surrounding tissues.  Swelling is often followed by bruising. This happens when the capillaries around the injury swell or burst in response to the increased fluid pressure.  It may be hard to know if your finger is fractured at first, as you still may be able to move it. After you try to move your finger, swelling and bruising begin to become apparent. The swelling may also spread to other fingers or down the palm of the hand. You are likely to notice swelling and bruising 5-10 minutes after your first sensations of pain in your finger. However, minor swelling or the absence of immediate bruising may be indicative of a sprain instead of a fracture. A finger fracture consists of a segment of the bone that is cracked or broken in one or more places. The bone deformity can show up as unusual bumps on the finger or a finger that points in a different direction.  If there are signs of misalignment, the finger is probably broken. You usually cannot move your finger if it is fractured because one or more sections of the bone are no longer connected. It is also likely that swelling and bruising makes your finger too stiff to move comfortably following any injuries. Go to your nearest accident and emergency department if you think you have a finger fracture. Fractures...

The first sign of ants in your kitchen is a warning to you. Scout ants are wandering ants, either singular or relatively few in number. They investigate your kitchen for food and supplies. If these ants return to the nest to inform the other ants, more will be on the way. Waste no time:  Cleaning your kitchen Sealing all food and removing all sources of sticky, sweet, greasy, and meaty foods from their access. Spread Diatomaceous Earth, some what heavily, along all of the edges (entry points) of the room. This will cut the exoskeleton of the ant, causing it to dry up and die in a matter of hours. Wash all dishes as they're used or place them into the dishwasher and shut the door tight. Wipe down all of your cupboard, benchtop, and counter surfaces with vinegar.  Vinegar not only cleans and disinfects, it is also an ants deterrent. Remove all sources of garbage and keep the kitchen bin shut tightly. Rinse all recyclable containers before putting them into storage. Food that's fallen on your floor or been lost in your kitchen's nooks and crannies will be an open invitation to ants. Crumbs and bits of food that have gotten caught in kitchen area rugs will attract ants in the same way. If you're prone to forgetting to sweep and vacuum your kitchen area, you might want to try getting into the habit of doing it at the same time every day, like after breakfast or dinner. In particular, check jam/jelly jars, sauce bottles, pickle bottles, cordial bottles and honey and syrup containers. Place your honey jar and any other sugary ant favorites inside a bowl of water. For more details on the bowl of water technique, check out How to keep ants out of honey and How to keep ants away from cat food. Use airtight containers or similar ant-proof containers for food storage. Be relentless with this for 3 to 7 days. The ants, having nothing to eat, will go elsewhere. This works because the ants are following the chemical trails left by other ants, who did find food. You may also need to seal fragrant items such as cleaning...

The first signs and symptoms are tender and swollen joints that often feel warm to the touch. Many people with rheumatoid arthritis have relatively mild pain and stiffness but experience periodic “flare ups” where the signs and symptoms get worse. Other people have constant, chronic symptoms. As the disease progresses, joints and bones can become damaged, leading to increasing loss of function, although early treatment can limit the damage. Other symptoms may include:  Fatigue, muscle pain, and general stiffness that lasts at least 1 hour after waking or after a long rest period (unlike the pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis, which dissipates faster).  Suffering from other disorders more frequently than those without the disease. These may include other autoimmune diseases (like Sjogren's Syndrome), vasculitis (an inflammation of the blood vessels), anemia (lower than normal numbers of red blood cells that carry oxygen to tissues), and lung disease. Rheumatoid nodules, which develop in up to 35% of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. The nodules show up as bumps under the skin near the affected joint, most commonly near the elbows. They're not usually painful, are freely movable under the skin, and can range in size from a pea up to the size of a lemon. While the cause of rheumatoid arthritis isn't known, it seems to be linked to genetic factors. It's likely that inheriting a group of genes, not a single gene, increases your risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Hormones and environmental factors also play a role in developing the disease. Men and women of any race or ethnic background can get rheumatoid arthritis, but it occurs in women more frequently than in men. Women are about 2 to 3 times more likely to get the disease, which most often begins in middle age.

Понаблюдайте за симптомами ревматоидного артрита. Знайте факторы риска.


The first signs of moderately low potassium can be muscle aches, cramps and abnormal weakness ((including respiratory and gastrointestinal muscle weakness if severe). Low potassium levels won’t allow neuromuscular cells to recharge quickly, which prevents them from firing repeatedly, meaning that muscles have difficulty in contracting. Faintness, muscle spasms, and muscle tingling or numbness can indicate worsening potassium deficiency and should be checked by a physician right away. Extended or severe low potassium can affect the heart.  Low potassium levels can cause change in its proper function. This can include irregular heartbeats, such as dangerous arrhythmia in severe cases.  Prolonged low potassium can cause structural and functional changes in the kidney. There is also excessive blood potassium, which is more dangerous: The symptoms of too much potassium when serious are heart palpitations, muscle pain, muscle weakness, or numbness, abnormal heart rate, possibly cardiac arrest and death. If you are experiencing diarrhea, dehydration, vomiting, constipation, or weakness, then you may need to have your potassium levels tested.  This test involves having blood drawn and getting a basic metabolic panel of tests (BMP) including ones for electrolytes (which include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, hydrogen phosphate, and hydrogen carbonate). Depending upon your situation, your doctor may alternatively want you to have a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), which adds liver function tests to the basic panel.

The first step from detangling from a toxic person is admitting what the relationship is. Even if you've decided to ditch a toxic friend, you may still be hanging on to certain notions about your friendship. Be honest with yourself that the relationship is toxic and does not benefit you in any way. Not only will this help you abandoned a toxic friend, it will help you have higher standards in the future.  Think about what you get, if anything, out of the relationship. Chances are, you no longer have fun with this person. They are probably a drain on you. You probably feel exhausted after spending time with them. Accept you cannot make them change. Toxic people can sense when someone is pulling away, and will try to do things to get you back in their fold. Remind yourself that a toxic person is unlikely to change, even if they swear they will. This will prevent you from getting dragged back into the relationship. Mixed feelings are normal and to be expected, but that does not mean you should continue a toxic friendship. For example, you might truly admire or love your friend, and the your friend might have some admirable traits, but that doesn't mean that the friendship can't be toxic. It is okay to love a friend, but to still want to move forward. Breaking off any friendship is tough, and abandoning a toxic friend can be particularly rough. Your friend may try to deny wrongdoing or talk over you. Making a script ahead of time, and practicing, can help you stay calm and on track when confronting a toxic person.  Write down all your thoughts first. Then, look over what you've written. Try to pull out the most important thoughts and form a few clear sentences explaining why you're ending the relationship. Practice your script a few times. You can practice in front of a mirror or just recite the words to yourself. You do not want to be reading off the script when you confront the person, so try to have your words more or less memorized before confronting your friend. You want to make things clear when breaking...

The first step in allowing the wound to start the natural healing process is to clean the area. Be sure there are no unwanted materials lodged inside the injured area that could lead to infection.  Use soap and water. Gently wash the area with mild soap and warm water to clean the injury. Use clean, dry materials to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide to clean the area. As your body starts to immediately produce new skin cells, the peroxide destroys those new cells and increases the chances of a scar beginning to form in the early stages of treatment. Examples of wounds that may need medical attention include those that were caused by an object that deeply punctured the skin; wounds that continue to bleed freely; are deep; involve a broken bone; have visible internal tendons, ligaments, or bone; are on the face; involve an animal bite; have layers of skin that are torn or jagged; or have caused an existing wound to re-open.  Depending on the severity of the injury, stitches or sutures may be needed. Actually, sutures may help to reduce the risk of scarring. Once you have ruled out the need for medical attention and/or stitches, proceed with taking care of the wound at home. If you have an injury on your face, you may wish to have a plastic surgeon do the sutures, as she will be particularly capable of using techniques that will minimize scarring. Petroleum jelly keeps the injured area moist, promotes healing, and prevents the formation of a scab. Petroleum jelly does not interfere with the natural healing of the injury. In fact, it can speed up the process.  If a scar does form, using petroleum jelly can minimize the size of the scar as the tissues heal. Scabs are the body’s natural way of forming a protective covering over a fresh injury; however, just beneath the scab is where the scar is starting to form. As your body heals itself, collagen is brought to the surface of the skin to reconnect the broken and damaged tissue. Then a temporary crusty covering, the scab, forms above...

The first step in arranging a community litter pick up is to decide when you will do it. Try to choose a day and time that will allow the most people to come. Though it’s not possible to predict what the weather will do for certain, try to look at the weather forecast, and pick a day when it is expected to be warm and sunny. For example, if you choose to do your litter pick up on a weekday at 2pm, you won’t be able to expect that any working person will be able to come. Therefore, if possible, a Saturday or Sunday may be a good choice. If you want to do it during the week, try to choose a time in the evening before it gets dark. You will also need to let people know where you will be picking up litter. Choose an area where you’ve noticed a problem with litter, then limit the cleanup to that area. You can also have the cleanup in your neighborhood, if you want. If possible, choose an area that has boundaries so that people won’t think they’re expected to clean up an entire forest in one day, for example. People will be more likely to come if you plan your pick up for a shorter amount of time. If people think they are going to have to give up an entire day to help you they probably won’t feel like coming. Try to choose a one or two hour window during the day, and advertise this as your scheduled pick up time. You can always stay longer if people want to, but this way, people won’t feel like they have to do a full day’s work on their day off. Fortunately, a litter pick up doesn’t require much, but it’s good to have enough supplies. Make sure to bring large garbage bags to collect the trash in, gloves to protect people’s hands, and a place to dispose of the garbage bags when the cleanup is over. You can ask people to bring along their own gloves, too. However, try to have at least a few pairs with you for anyone who didn’t bring them. Make flyers and post them around the community. Be sure to include the day, time, and address where you will meet for the cleanup. If you need people to bring supplies, be sure to...

The first step in assessing statistical significance is defining the question you want to answer and stating your hypothesis. The hypothesis is a statement about your experimental data and the differences that may be occurring in the population. For any experiment, there is both a null and an alternative hypothesis. Generally, you will be comparing two groups to see if they are the same or different.  The null hypothesis (H0) generally states that there is no difference between your two data sets. For example: Students who read the material before class do not get better final grades. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is the opposite of the null hypothesis and is the statement you are trying to support with your experimental data. For example: Students who read the material before class do get better final grades. The significance level (also called alpha) is the threshold that you set to determine significance. If your p-value is less than or equal to the set significance level, the data is considered statistically significant.  As a general rule, the significance level (or alpha) is commonly set to 0.05, meaning that the probability of observing the differences seen in your data by chance is just 5%. A higher confidence level (and, thus, a lower p-value) means the results are more significant. If you want higher confidence in your data, set the p-value lower to 0.01. Lower p-values are generally used in manufacturing when detecting flaws in products. It is very important to have high confidence that every part will work exactly as it is supposed to. For most hypothesis-driven experiments, a significance level of 0.05 is acceptable. One of the assumptions a t-test makes is that your data is distributed normally. A normal distribution of data forms a bell curve with the majority of the samples falling in the middle. The t-test is a mathematical test to see if your data falls outside of the normal distribution, either above or below, in the “tails” of the curve.  A one-tailed test is more powerful than a...

The first step in becoming less passive aggressive is developing self awareness about your behavior. Watch out for behaviors such as social withdrawal, pouting, performing tasks inefficiently (on purpose), stubbornness, and procrastination.  The chronic nature of this trait means it didn't develop overnight, so making changes will take time and determination. Communication is just as much about listening and reading unspoken messages as it is about speaking openly and directly. Consider what the other person is saying or not saying in response to your own actions. They could be as passive aggressive as you are. Look at things from a different perspective. Could you be over-reacting? Take a step back and review the situation again. Sarcasm is a common fall-back for people with passive aggression and will only worsen bad situations. These are some common phrases to avoid:   "Whatever" "I'm FINE" Why are you so upset?" I'm just kidding" In work situations, an employee engages in a specific type of passive aggression called temporary compliance when he agrees to a task and then is late in completing the task. He may be late because of procrastinating, arriving late to meetings or check-ins, or misplacing important documents. Employees usually engage in temporary compliance when they feel underappreciated at work but don't know how to appropriately express these feelings.  If you find yourself engaging in temporary compliance, try to determine whether or not you're doing this because you don't feel appreciated. This type of passive aggression could take place in the home as well.  You may tell your partner that you will do the dishes consistently, for example, and then put it off to intentionally annoy her. With intentional inefficiency, a person values the opportunity to be hostile more than he values his own competence. An example of this would be an employee who continues to produce the same amount of work with the quality of the work significantly decreasing. Employees who are confronted about this behavior...

TL;DR in Russian:

Признайте пассивно-агрессивное поведение. Слушайте и наблюдайте. Забудьте о сарказме. Забудьте о временном согласии. Замечайте намеренную неэффективность. Не усугубляйте проблемы. Замечайте скрытую, но осознанную месть.


The first step in being less impulsive is to determine how you want to prioritize your time.Then, before acting impulsively, check and make sure your action reflects the values you’ve written down for yourself.  This might mean writing a  master task list. It might mean creating a business plan. If you're a student, you might want to create a study plan. The important thing is to record your current goals in order to measure them against your impulses. You might think of this written record as a kind of container for your values, intentions, commitments, best practices for yourself, and tasks that support these goals. You can use a notebook, a spreadsheet, or another method that works for you. The main thing is that the framework is accessible and functional. In order to make the most of your organizational system, you’ll need to commit to reviewing how effective your system is in your life, as well as plan out any needed changes.  You might find you need to sit down once a week to consider your actions of the previous week. Did you follow your listed priorities? Note what went well, what you found challenging, and what you might do better. You might find that you need to do this review more often until you find a system that works for you. Doing a brief daily review is recommended; you might also do a more extensive monthly review. If you have lots of unstructured time in your day, you’re more likely to fill it with impulsive acts. Try writing down a daily schedule for yourself, using 30 minute blocks of time. It’s okay if you spend more than one 30-minute block on a task, but don’t leave any blocks empty and unstructured.  If you don’t know how to plan ahead for certain activities, write in a series of choices for yourself. For instance, if you’re not sure yet whether a friend is coming over or not, write: “Friend or ______.” Your daily schedule should include your social time and free time too. A schedule that doesn’t include any downtime will ultimately fail. If you’re the kind of person who’s prone to...

The first step in catching a fly is to take your dominant hand and bend it into a cup shape.  Practice quickly shutting your fingertips against the heel of your hand. Make sure to leave a hollow space inside, as this is where you will trap the fly. Be careful. If you shut your hand too tightly, or make a fist, you will simply crush the fly. If you don't mind that the fly dies, then this won't be a problem. When catching a fly with your bare hands, it's best to wait until the fly lands on a flat surface, such as a table or counter top.  Move slowly towards the fly. Any sudden movements can set the fly off and you will have to wait for it to land again. Waiting until the fly lands on a stable surface makes it easier to predict the fly's movements. Make sure the surface is clutter-free, as you don't want to knock anything over in your fly-catching attempts. Once the fly lands, take your cupped hand and wave it a couple of inches above the fly, closing it, just like you practiced, as you wave your hand.  As the fly senses your hand movement, it will get spooked and fly straight upwards and directly into your cupped hand.  As soon as it enters your hand, close your hand quickly to trap the fly inside. Now you are free to release the fly outdoors, place it into a jar for your inspection, or feed it to a pet.

The first step in cutting your hair at home is to invest in the right tools. You will need a sharp pair of hair cutting scissors (not just any old scissors you have lying around at home) and a fine-toothed comb.  Hair cutting scissors are easily available at beauty supply stores - you can find them pretty cheaply, somewhere in the $25 to $50 range. If you don't want to buy a hair cutting scissors, a fabric scissors will do - just make sure it's really sharp. Using dull scissors is a bad idea as you will find it harder to cut your hair and may end up giving yourself split ends - which defeats the purpose of giving yourself a haircut in the first place! Wet hair is much easier to cut than dry hair, so make sure to shampoo and condition your hair before you start snipping.  Fully comb out your hair once you get out of the shower - your hair needs be as sleek and tangle free as possible.Use a leave-in conditioner if your hair tends to be frizzy or fly-away. If your hair is quite long or thick, there's a good chance that sections of your hair might start to dry before you get around to cutting them. To tackle this, fill a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner. Then you can dampen your hair whenever you need to! Depending on how thick your hair is, expect to work in several sections as you cut, starting with the bottom-most layer and working up.  Use elastic hair ties or crocodile clips to divide hair into sections. Just make sure the sectioned hair isn't left to hang loose - otherwise it could get in the way of your scissors. Once you've finished with the bottom layer of hair, you can start releasing the other sections as you go. If you just want to give your hair a small trim to get rid of your damaged ends, you will first need to inspect your hair to find out how much hair will need to be cut.  Take a look at the ends of your hair. If they seem scraggly or unruly, or you can see the split hairs, they're probably damaged and need to be cut. Expect to trim about 0.25 inch (6 mm) above where the damage...

The first step in dealing with your issues with loving and/or being loved is to identify the fear that is holding you back. There are many different types of fear that can cause a person to fear loving someone or being loved.  Consider your feelings and try to figure out what your main concern is. What are you afraid might happen if you allow yourself to love or be loved? Try writing about your feelings to explore them in more depth. Writing about your fears concerning love may help you to identify the root of your fears and the act of writing may help you to work through some of your feelings as well. One way that you can start to understand your fear regarding loving or being loved is to think back on your past relationships. Consider the problems that arose in the relationship and how you contributed to those problems. What did you struggle with in the relationship? What did you fight about? If you broke up, what was the reason for the breakup? In what ways did you contribute to problems in the relationship? What thoughts caused you to respond in the ways that you did? Sometimes childhood experiences can contribute to our ability to love and be loved. If you had some difficult experiences as a child, you may be carrying to feelings into your adult relationships. Consider things that happened to you or around you as a child and how they might be affecting you as an adult. Was there a lot of fighting in your household when you were a child? Did you feel rejected or unloved by one or more of your parents? How did these experiences make you feel? Many people have fears when it comes to loving and being loved. Among those fears are the fear of getting hurt, fear of hurting someone, and fear of commitment. Consider these different types of fears and try to determine if your feelings align with any of these categories.   Fear of Getting Hurt  If you have been hurt in previous relationships, you know how painful it is and may want to protect yourself from ever feeling that way again. As a result, you might try to...

The first step in feeding your reptile crickets will be to gather the crickets.  You can buy crickets on-line or from a local pet store, raise them yourself, or capture them from outdoors.  Whichever way you choose, make sure you have enough crickets to feed your particular reptile enough and maintain a good level of nutrition.   You will want to buy house crickets (Acheta domestica) for your reptile. Don't buy too many crickets at once as they may die before your reptile gets a chance to eat them all. You will likely want to have some kind of storage container for your crickets.  A plastic bin with cardboard tubes for the crickets to hide in can work fine. An important part of offering crickets to your reptile is selecting crickets that are a safe size.  Exactly how large the crickets you choose are will depend on how large your reptile is.  Larger reptiles will enjoy larger crickets.  However, smaller reptiles may be injured by larger crickets or may not eat them at all.  Make sure the crickets you are offering are an appropriate size for your reptile.  Your reptile should be able to easily fit a cricket in their mouth. Crickets larger than your reptiles mouth should likely be avoid. If a cricket is larger than the distance between the reptile's eyes, it's too big. In order to provide the best nutrition for your reptile, you will want to dust the crickets in a coating of calcium powder.  This will allow your reptile to get even more nutrition and ensure that they are strong and healthy, reducing the chances of illness or injury occurring.  Always make sure to coat the crickets in calcium powder when feeding your reptile.  This powder can be bought at most pet stores or online. You can put the powder in a simple plastic container.  A tall plastic pitcher can work well. Shake some crickets into the container. Lightly shake the container to coat the crickets in the powder. The crickets should be coated completely in the calcium powder and can then be fed to your reptile. It's a good idea to find a powder that...

The first step in getting anxiety medication is going to see your doctor. Start with your primary physician to get a physical. Your physician will determine if you have an underlying medical cause for the anxiety.  When you go to your doctor, you should be honest about your symptoms. Tell your doctor about your anxieties and what your general mood has been lately.  After you receive a diagnosis from either your doctor, you can begin discussing medication and other treatment options. After seeing a doctor, you may be referred to a psychiatrist or other mental health professional. This may be the case if you have an anxiety disorder that needs specific treatments, like therapy, in addition to medication.  You may be referred to a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, occupational therapist, or social worker. The mental health professional will discuss various topics with you, like your life, support system, and previous treatments. You should be honest when asked questions about your life. The mental health professional will try to diagnose your anxiety disorder and base a treatment around that. You should have a conversation with your doctor about any medication you choose to take. You should ask your doctor questions about the medication, and have your doctor explain everything in detail.  Find out how long the medicine will take to start working. Ask your doctor to detail any side effects. You should also ask your doctor how the medicine is going to help you so you can weight the side effects with the helpful effects. Figure out exactly how you should take the medication. Ask about the time of day, whether you should take it with food, and how often you should take it.

The first step in getting to know a potential friend is to strike up a conversation. Believe it or not, very interesting conversations can start up with, "The weather is sure cold!". Another way is to find out a little bit about them and their interests. Once you get started on an interesting topic, the rest will come naturally.  Try making a general comment or asking a question about something generic, just to break the ice. For example, "Great party, huh?" or "How do you know John?" Try to listen more than you talk. Show that you're interested in what they have to say. Even if you find their speech boring, try to appear concentrated in order to not hurt the other's feelings. Find out about their interests and hobbies. If you can find something you have in common, the conversation will flow more freely. If you hit it off with someone, make sure to get their contact information before you part ways, you'll need it if you want to organize to meet up with them again.  Get their phone number or email address, or ask if they're on Facebook. It doesn't matter as long as you have a way of reaching out to them. Be sure to give them your contact details too. They might just invite you to do something fun. Here is where a lot of people falter. It's fun to meet people once and make friends with them on Facebook afterwards, but you won't develop a true friendship unless you take the next step and invite them to hang out. Hang outs are not necessarily about going to Starbucks and buying a Coffee Espresso for both of you! Try new and fun ideas, like consider going on a long-drive if you have a car  You don't need to invite them to do anything special, just ask them if they'd like to go for a drink or hang out at the beach. Even if they can't make it, they'll probably be flattered you asked. Try again in a week or so. Let them have their space otherwise they will think you are too clingy. It's good to make your own plans to meet up with people, but if you get an invitation it's even better. Think of it as an easy...

The first step in guiding students through the writing process is to allow them to pick their topic. Picking their topic will allow your students to own their writing and to use their own creative energy to craft an engaging story.  Tell your students to brainstorm about ideas they are truly interested in. If you must restrict the general topic, make sure that your students have a good amount of wiggle room within the broad topic of the assignment. Never assign specific topics and force students to write. This will undermine the entire process. After your students have chosen a topic, have them create a flexible and general outline for their story. This outline will serve as a guide as they write their story. Because the outline is flexible, it will guide them while not limiting their creativity. Consider:  Letting your students know that the outline is non-binding. They don’t have to follow it in later steps of the writing process. Telling your students that the parts of their outline should be written very generally. Recommending that your students create several outlines, or outlines that go in different directions (in terms of plot and other elements of storytelling). The more avenues your students explore, the better. ” One of the most important things to remember when teaching creative writing is to dispense with the idea that stories should follow certain arcs or formulas. While formulaic writing can aid students who need direction, it can also bind students and limit their imaginations.  Tell students that there is no “right” way to write a story. Let students know that their imaginations should guide their way. Show students examples of famous writing that breaks normal patterns, like the works of E.E. Cummings, William Faulkner, Charles Dickens, and William Shakespeare. Ask students to forget about any expectations they think you have for how a story should be written. As your students move through the writing process, you should read over drafts and provide feedback. Feedback is essential in...

The first step in preparing the planting site is to get the soil tested. You need soil that drains well and that does not contain heavy clay. The soil test will dictate if the site is good for a specific seedling. The soil test will also give you a pH for the soil. Some species do well in certain soil pHs, such as Fraser firs, which grow best in well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. Christmas tree species do not do well with wet feet or excess moisture in the soil. Having a planting site with a 5% to 20% slope will ensure there is good water drainage and good air for growth. You should also ensure the site gets full sun. Some seedling types, such as pines, grow well on south and west slopes. Spruces and firs do well on north and east slopes. Prepare the soil for the seedling by removing any existing vegetation with a mower. You may also need to take out any stumps or rocks in the soil with a pickaxe or a shovel. The planting site should be smooth, with no excess vegetation, stumps, or rocks. Once the planting site is ready, you can plant the transplant seedling on the planting site. Hand plant the seedling using a shovel or an auger.  Dig a hole that is the same depth as the hole the seedling was grown in at the nursery or in the greenhouse. To determine the correct depth, check the trunk of the tree for a noticeable color shift, as this will make the surface level where the seedling was originally grown. Place the seedling in the hole and spread the roots carefully and gently. Avoid twisting or screwing the seedling into the hole as this will tangle up the roots, which can kill the tree. Cover up the hole with soil. Give the tree a good watering after the planting. If you are planting more than one transplant seedling at a time, make sure the trees are planted in rows eight feet apart, with seven to eight feet between each seedling. This will ensure the trees are not at risk of disease or pest issues.

The first step in the process of legally recouping a loan is to write to the friend asking for repayment, and giving them a certain amount of time to come up with the money. You should talk to a lawyer prior to sending this letter, and have it notarized. The letter should also be sent by courier or through the mail using a signature tracking system, so you know and can prove your friend received it. Include as many specifics as possible in the letter.  The letter should detail the exact amount owed, length of delinquency in repaying the loan, other attempted methods to recoup the loss, and potential court dates if the money is not repaid. For instance, your letter could say something like, “On December 3, 2015, I loaned Joe Smith $600 for his construction business. I asked for repayment by October 3, 2016. I have asked for repayment in person, in writing, and attempted to make a payment plan. Mr. Smith has been unresponsive. I am seeking legal action to recoup those losses, if I am not repaid by December, 3, 2016. At this time, we will schedule a court date to discuss the matter in the presence of legal counsel.” If your friend responds to the letter and pays the debt in the aforementioned time frame, there's no need to continue legal action. People Claim is one of the most popular tools, but there are a number of similar websites and even apps that make filing a claim to recoup a loan fast and simple.  These online legal resources typically offer free and paid services. In most cases, you'll be advised to attempt to complete your legal claim without paying for service and add on paid assistance from the legal team, if your initial claim is not effective. Do your research into online or app based claims services. Most are reputable, but others are just out to take even more of your money without helping you recoup losses. You can read online reviews, check with the Better Business Bureau, or look for information on the site about the lawyers who will be assisting you. Before you go to court or even talk to a...

The first step in treatment is to stay calm and safely identify the spider.  Wash the area with mild soap and water and use ice applications or a cold cloth to help prevent swelling. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Use a towel or soft and clean cloth between the skin and the ice-filled baggie or cold pack. Elevate the area that was bitten if possible and practical. Take an over-the-counter product to help with pain and/or inflammation such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin. Be sure to follow the directions on the label. According to reports from poison control centers in the United States, more than 2500 incidents of black widow spider bites are reported each year in the United States. Go to an urgent care clinic or hospital emergency room.  You may want to call your regular doctor and inform him or her of the situation. Your doctor may want you to come straight to the office or have a preference as to the medical facility you go to. Wherever you end up going, inform them that you are on your way and that you were bitten by a black widow spider  — this will give the staff ample time to prepare. Do not attempt to drive yourself to the hospital. The venom from the bite can alter your responses abruptly. You may feel lucid when you start driving, but your condition can change quickly. Most people do not experience severe reactions from a black widow spider bite. In fact, some people have no problems at all and do not need medical care. Due to the possibility of severe pain, discomfort, and systemic changes, talk with your doctor as soon as possible or go to an emergency room or urgent care clinic to be sure you can receive prompt treatment should you develop any adverse effects or complications. Inform the doctor at the treatment facility of all medications or treatment steps taken upon arrival. Fortunately, only three cases of death have been recorded over many years. Some reports of serious complications and death have been linked to black widow bites in people that were already severely...

The first step in writing an academic paper is finding good sources. Start by going to your library’s website and searching for keywords related to your topic. You can also use digital scholarly resources like WorldCat, JSTOR, Google Scholar, or ResearchGate.  You may need to log in with your student ID or institutional ID to get access to many online scholarly databases, or access them through a school or library computer. Another good way to start building your bibliography is to look at the reference list on an introductory overview of your subject, such as an encyclopedia entry. Your instructor, or your school’s reference librarian, may also be able to recommend some good sources on your topic. Look for sources that are reputable, well-sourced, and up-to-date. Ideally, most of your sources should have been published within the last 5-10 years. Scholarly books and peer-reviewed articles from academic journals are usually acceptable sources, as well as articles from reputable news organizations. Avoid popular publications and user-edited websites, such as Wikipedia. While Wikipedia is often unreliable and is not considered an appropriate source for most academic writing, it can be a good starting point for research. Check the “References” section of the Wikipedia article on your topic for useful sources. . Just because information comes from an apparently reputable source (such as a peer-reviewed journal, a scholarly book, or a news article), don’t assume that it is correct. Consider some of the following as you are doing your research:  Where is the author getting their information? Do they provide credible sources? Does the author provide convincing evidence to back up their arguments? Does the author have any obvious biases or agendas that affect the way they present or interpret their information? A primary source is any type of first-hand or direct evidence about your topic. Depending on the subject matter, a primary source might be something like a video recording of an event, data from a laboratory...

The first step is cleaning the mattress is removing the vomit from the surface of the bed. Use a paper plate to scrape any solids off the bed, and place it in a plastic bag to discard in the trash.  Before cleaning up the vomit, it's a good idea to put on rubber gloves. That will protect you from any germs. You can also use a dustpan to scrape the vomit from your bed and dump it in the toilet to dispose of it. Hose the dustpan down outside to clean it. If the bedding is still on your bed, remove them before moving on to cleaning the mattress. Strip the sheets, comforter, mattress pad, and any other items from the bed, and wash them in the washing machine. Wash the bedding on the highest temperature setting that is available on the washer. That will help kill any lingering germs. Once you've removed the sheets from the bed, use a dry cloth to soak up any liquid from the vomit that may have reached the mattress. Avoid rubbing the stained area, though. Instead, blot it to help remove the liquid without spreading it around. It's a good idea to use an old rag to blot the mattress because you may want to throw it out when you're done.

The first step is knowing the type of outcome you would like from a project.   Having a vision will help you ask the right questions about a consultant’s services.  Identify the type of project you are doing and list the steps that you will need to accomplish the project. Determine the type of help you think you need.  Are your needs technical, design-related, or both?  Will you need one person or a team to work on your project?  Can the work be done remotely or do you need to find someone locally with whom you can meet in person? Ask yourself what kind of developers or specialists you need to hire to accomplish your project. Having an initial vision does not mean that the project has to (or will) turn out exactly like you have envisioned it. Your company’s big-picture goals and mission may be as important as the details of the project itself.  Re-read your company’s mission statement, even if you wrote it yourself. Be explicit about how the project will serve the company’s mission. Change your vision for the project if it does not keep with the company’s overall goals. Identify how the project will improve your company, meet the needs of stockholders or shareholders, or serve your clients. Write a statement about how this project will meet the company’s goals.  You may need to include the statement in your RFP, but it will also help you focus your own goals for the project. You need to have a concrete number for the amount of money you will be able to spend on the project. Being upfront with your allowed budget will help your relationship with the consultant you hire in the long run.  Talk to your accounting or finance department ahead of time.  Don’t just assume you know how much money you will be able to spend on a project. Be sure you are including all parts of the project and all individuals you will need to hire to help you meet the needs of your project. Plan for extra expenses.  Projects—particularly big projects—rarely come in under budget.  Leaving yourself some extra room for unexpected expenses...

The first step is probably the most important and overlooked step. Opening your pores enables the special ingredients contained in the Alpha Mane facial cleanser and razor bump cream to do their jobs effectively. So how do you open up the pores? Apply a warm face cloth to the affected area. Let sit for about 3-4 minutes or when the cloth becomes cool. Repeat the process, but this time, let sit for about a minute. With your pores now open, gently apply the Alpha Mane Green Tea Facial Cleanser in circular motions in an upward direction. Massage into the skin for approximately one to two minutes. Let sit on the skin for about a minute. Rinse the Green Tea Facial Cleanser completely off your skin with warm water. Using a soft cloth, gently pat down on the wet area until dry. In a circular motion, gently apply the Alpha Mane Razor Bump Cream to the affected area on your skin. Please ensure the cream is completely rubbed into the skin. And voila, you are done. Treat your affected skin in the morning (after you shower) & at night, before bed. This works because the asprin has small traces of salicylic acid in it.

The first step is to change the consistency of the butter so that it becomes light, fluffy, and easy to mix with the other ingredients. Place it in a mixing bowl and beat the butter with a hand mixer or using a stand mixer for several minutes. Continue beating the butter as you add the sugar. Mix until the sugar is fully incorporated into the butter. Finish the icing by beating in the cream and salt until the icing is light, fluffy and fully mixed. Use it to ice your cake or cupcakes immediately, or refrigerate for later use.  This icing can be easily altered to make a chocolate buttercream by adding a few tablespoons of cocoa. Add a few drops of lemon juice, almond extract, or another flavoring to match the cake flavor you made. Create a colorful buttercream icing by mixing in a few drops of food coloring.

The first step is to know what you want in life. We’re not just talking about material objects but goals, achievements, and feelings. Look inside and ask yourself what it is that you most desire.  Ask what it is that you want in life and what is most important to you. Try writing down your answers as they come, without assessing them. Be as specific as possible in your stating what you want. “I want a lot of money” is a start, but “I want to be financially secure and retire by age 50” is more specific and better. Are your desires achievable? Are they realistic? Are they about you? They will need to be. You might have a good job, but can you manage to retire early? How would you do so? Let’s be real: you probably cannot achieve everything that you want in life. Cars, clothes, fabulous riches, luxuries – it would simply take too much effort and divide your energies. Focus on what is most important to you, giving that your full effort.  Look again at your list of wants and desires and reassess it. What is at the top? Is your desire for financial security and to retire early really what you want most out of life? Ask yourself again whether it is doable. Are you sure that you can manage this goal or are you simply setting yourself up for failure? Try to be realistic and open-minded. Don’t embark on an overly ambitious dream if you doubt that it can be done. Having a long-term goal will give focus to your ambitions, give you a sense of purpose, and make you aware of possible obstacles. For instance, where and how to you envision your life in the future? What lifestyle do you expect? What things to do want to do?  Identify a long-term goal. Try, again, writing it down and be as specific as possible. “I want to retire at 50” is not as specific and achievable as a goal as saying “I want to be debt-free, own my own home, and be able to retire at 50 on an annual income of at least $50,000.” The latter sets concrete benchmarks for success. Start to brainstorm pathways to success. How can you get there? What sort of job...

The first step is to remove any debris from your floors. Grab a broom and sweep your floor clean. You may also want to mop it with warm water and a little bit of a water-based cleaner.  Remove loose surface dirt and dust with a clean, soft cotton cloth in specific areas, like under furniture. Suck up dust or surface dirt with a vacuum cleaner, using the hose and soft brush attachments. Cleaners that have a neutral PH balance won’t disturb the finish of your floor. Cleaners like detergents can remove dust and dirt, but have a higher PH balance. Only use these on older floors. To get a real good cleaning in that lifts the dirt and grime you can’t remove by sweeping you can damp-mop your floors. Use a wood cleaning product that is designed for your hardwood floor. Dilute the product in water according to the instructions on the bottle. Then, dip a sponge or mop into your solution and wring it out until it is close to dry. Scrub your floor.  You want your sponge or mop to be damp and not wet so you don’t leave any standing water on your floor. Floor cleaners like Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner are specifically made to be safe on hardwood floors, and will even get rid of scuff marks and hardened spills. Before you go and start scrubbing at those scratches, marks, and stains, determine which kind of hardwood floor you have. If your stains are surface level, you probably have a hard urethane finish. However, if the stain goes deeper into the wood, you may have a soft oiled finish.  For hard finishes, only use a soft, clean cloth to wipe. Harder brushes, harsh chemicals with a higher PH balance, or steel wool can ruin your coating. For soft finishes, you can use No. 000 steel wool and wood floor wax. If the area doesn’t lighten up, apply vinegar to warm water and soak the area for about an hour. Then rinse with a clean damp cloth. As a general rule for soft finishes, use steel wool and floor wax for tougher marks, and a light cloth with dishwashing detergent and water for lighter, or oil-based stains.

The first step is to think about exactly how much money you want to spend, and how much money should go to each type of item or part of the room. This will help keep you from over spending, or over spending on an area that is less important. It's easy to lose track of money when decorating a room! You should ask your child what they want their room to look like...they probably have a few ideas! But you'll want to keep in mind how the design can change over time. Remember, just because your little girl likes Princesses right now doesn't mean she won't grow out of it in a few years and decide she hates her room. Try to choose decorations that are easy to change, so that you don't have to spend a lot of money later. This is also true with teens. They have their own style, but think about what you're going to do with the room once they move out. You can of course just go with a few colors that look nice and standard decorations, but choosing a theme can make your life a lot easier. A theme gives you a preset color palette or series of color palettes to work with, as well as a guide for furniture, toys, and decorations to buy. Whether you're going with a theme or not, you'll want to choose a color palette to help the room look unified and organized. If you're absolutely terrible with colors, use tools like the room palettes provided by paint companies or even free online tools like Adobe Kuler. Always talk to your child throughout the design process and every time you go to buy a new item. You don't want to end up with something that they hate and then both of you are upset! Giving them the feeling of choice is also important, as this helps them to grow and mature.

The first step of this project is to find the perfect pair of shoes. Since this is a craft project, you probably don't want to spend big bucks on a brand new pair that you'll be  covering in glitter anyway.  The best shoes for this project are an old, comfy pair. If you don't have anything suitable, look in Goodwill or other second hand stores for shoes in your size. The color doesn't matter in the slightest -- once the shoes are covered in glitter you won't be able to see the original color. Plain high-heeled pumps or ballet flats are the best style of shoe for this project, as they are easy to cover in glitter. Anything with laces or straps will involve more work, and the glitter will wear away much faster. The type of glitter you choose will define your finished product. It is important that you choose a super fine glitter, rather than a chunky glitter. Many people recommend the Martha Stewart brand of glitter, but any super fine glitter will do.  Super fine glitter will produce a much smoother, more even finish, whereas chunky glitter will result in a goopy, uneven mess. Any color glitter will work -- you can either do your shoes in one solid color, tape off patches of the shoes and use different colors on different parts, or mix different glitters together to produce a rainbow effect -- it's up to you! If you are making the glitter shoes to match a particular outfit, make sure to bring the outfit with you while craft shopping to get an exact color match. Even more so than the shoes and the glitter, the type of glue you use will be the most important aspect of making successful glitter shoes. A good glue will dry smooth and even and keep the glitter firmly attached to your shoes.  Mod Podge is the best glue for the job, as it is a glue, sealer and finish all in one! Choose either the matte or gloss finish, either will work just fine.  If you can't get your hands on Mod Podge, all-purpose Elmer's Glue is a good alternative, in addition to Martha Stewart's glitter glue. If all else fails, a good fabric glue...

Examples of shooter and first-person shooter games include Halo, Doom, Overwatch, and Wolfenstein. If you enjoy action, you may want to consider a shooter game.  Adventure games usually involve the player going on a variety of quests to obtain information to aid with an overarching mission. Adventure games do not always involve a specific enemy or boss. They may involve navigating a story, and the game may be a matter of revealing plot points and secrets. If you enjoy fantasy and storytelling, consider an adventure game.

The first step to cleaning your mattress is vacuuming. This will remove mites, dust, dead skin, hair, and other debris from the mattress. Use a wide brush attachment to vacuum the top of the mattress. Use the long upholstery nozzle to get into cracks, to vacuum edges and piping, and to clean the sides and corners. Before vacuuming, make sure the nozzle and brush attachments are completely clean. Any recent spills that are still wet should be cleaned immediately. Get a clean cloth damp with cold water. Blot the spill with the damp cloth. Do not rub or scrub the spill, as this can push it farther into the mattress. Keep blotting until you’ve absorbed all the excess liquid. Combine 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of hydrogen peroxide and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of liquid dish soap in a small bowl. Use a spoon to stir them together and creates suds. Dip an old toothbrush into the suds. Gently scrub the suds into affected areas of the mattress. Wipe away excess cleaner with a clean, damp cloth.  For a memory foam mattress, use only the smallest amount of cleaner possible, because memory foam should never get wet. This solution will be effective to treat stains from dirt, food, drinks. Spray some enzyme cleaner onto a clean cloth. Blot the stain with the cloth to saturate it. Let the enzyme cleaner sit for about 15 minutes. Blot the area with the same cloth to remove the stain. Blot the area with a clean cloth that’s damp with cold water.  Don’t spray liquid cleaners directly onto the mattress. Mattresses aren't designed to get wet, especially memory foam, so use as little cleaner as necessary to treat the stains. An enzyme cleaner will break down the proteins in blood, urine, sweat, vomit, and other biological stains. It will also be effective at treating grease and oil stains. Once you’ve dealt with stains, you can clean and deodorize the entire mattress. To do this, sprinkle a generous dusting of baking soda over the entire surface of the mattress.  To give your mattress a fresh smell, stir five drops of your favorite...

The first step to dealing with a psychic vampire is by setting firm boundaries. If psychic vampires realize you have limits, they'll back off from you and search for other victims.  Be very clear about what you can and cannot do for this person. Explain, in no uncertain terms, what amount of your time, space, and energy is reasonable and what is not. Try saying something like, "I am perfectly happy to talk with you about your problems, but when you refuse to listen to any possible solutions or let me help you feel better I need to step away."  Try to set boundaries on your own end, especially if you're dealing with a narcissistic psychic vampire. Try to remind yourself you should not fall in love or form a strong friendship with a person of this emotional capacity. It is not possible for them to love you back.  Body language helps as well. If a psychic vampire tries to break boundaries, cross your arms and break eye contact. This sends a signal - "Back off, I can't deal with this today." Psychic vampires thrive on controlling others. If you feel like your time and space is being controlled by another person, take a step back from the relationship.  If a psychic vampire is trying to control you or offering unsolicited advice, cut them off with a firm declaration that you do not need their advice. Try something like, "I appreciate you offering advice, but I need to work through this on my own."  People often internalize criticism from psychic vampires. You end up with an inner critic, just as harsh as the psychic vampire. Work to shut down the voice inside yourself that tells you you're incapable of making your own decisions. If you find yourself putting yourself down, pause and think, "That's negative and unnecessary." After a certain point, you might have to break off the relationship or at least lessen the bond. If a psychic vampire continues to violate boundaries and demand too much of your time and emotional energy, you need to work on keeping your distance. Don't return texts or phone calls and limit the...

The first step to eliminating dog odor from your carpet is to vacuum it thoroughly. Pet dander and hair can easily get embedded in carpet fibers, leaving a lingering smell. Use a full sized vacuum for larger carpeted areas, or a handheld vacuum for throw rugs and small mats.  If you don’t own a large vacuum cleaner, rent a wet/dry vacuum from a local hardware store. Use the vacuum hose attachment to get into hard-to-reach corners and under furniture. Baking soda is a perfect tool for neutralizing odors that may be stuck in your carpet fibers. Sprinkle a layer of baking soda over your entire carpet. Let it sit there for 2-3 hours to absorb the smell.  If the dog odor is concentrated in one area of the carpet, sprinkle baking soda in that area only to focus your cleaning. Be sure to keep pets away from this area while the baking soda sets in. It is not toxic to dogs but it can be harmful if ingested in large quantities. After 2-3 hours, vacuum your carpet a second time. This should remove the baking soda along with the odor it has absorbed. Be thorough to make sure you remove all of the baking soda from the carpet.

The first step to gauging his interest is to simply talk to him.  If you don’t feel comfortable having a full conversation with him, try just saying “hello” or “how are you” the first couple of times you speak.  Each time, say more and more until you feel comfortable asking him out. You also might chat about something you both are doing or witnessing.  For example, if you’re in the same class, you might ask him what he thought of the readings or the last test you had. Even if you are too nervous to out right ask this guy on a date, you can still flirt with him to see if he’s interested in you.  When you see him, make eye contact for a few moments and slowly smile.  If you have a chance to speak to him, put your hand on his shoulder or arm when he makes a funny joke.  Compliment him and tell him how nice he looks. When you are flirting with him or simply talking, notice if he leans in to you when you’re speaking or lights up when he sees you.  These are signs that he might be into you.  He might also smile or wink at you a lot. The more signs that you have that he likes you, the more confident you will be to ask him out. Say “have you heard of the new restaurant downtown that has sushi?  I really want to go.”  You might find that he will ask you out instead.  Even if he doesn’t, if he says he’s interested in going too, you can use that as a natural way to ask him out. When you know you are going to see this guy, try to look your very best.  Be sure that you are showered, your hair is neat, and that you have on an outfit that fits you well.  You might also consider wearing some perfume or cologne, as well. You can also post attractive pictures on social media if he follows you. If you’re friends already, reach out to him to communicate with him more regularly.  Text him occasionally throughout the week to check in, tell him a funny story, or just to see how his day is going.  If he responds quickly, in multiple sentences and is flirty, he might like you.  If he is short or unresponsive, it is best not to ask...

The first step to getting red lips is getting rid of dry, flaky skin that builds up and hides their natural color. Sloughing away the dead skin brightens your lips, brings out their inner red color and prepares them to take on a stain. Here's how to make and use your own scrub:  Mix 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Scrub the mixture into your lips in a circular motion. Rinse the mixture away with warm water. Repeat as necessary. Sometimes a basic lip scrub isn't enough to get rid of the dead skin. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush will do the trick. Choose a clean toothbrush, wet it with warm water, and gently scrub your lips in a circular motion. Rinse your lips. They should be left bright, plump and renewed. Increasing circulation to your lips makes them look plumper and redder. You can naturally make your lips a little plumper by using cinnamon or another spicy household item on your lips. Just rub a little on, wait a few minutes, then rinse your lips. You can use any of the following as a natural lip plumper:  1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper mixed with a few drops of water 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon mixed with a few drops of water 5 drops of peppermint essential oil or peppermint extract A piece of fresh ginger rubbed over your lips Now that your lips have been exfoliated and plumped, it's time to make them soft and supple. This will help them keep their color longer and prevent them from drying out. Use any of the following ingredients as a lip serum; just rub it on your lips and wait a few minutes for it to absorb:  1/2 teaspoon coconut oil 1/2 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon almond oil

The first step to getting to grips with your debt problem is to conduct an honest appraisal of all your outstanding debts, and the amount they are costing you. Start by writing down every single debt you have, and try to include as much information as possible. You can’t make any progress until you have a clear picture of your financial situation.  Note down the key information, including interest rates, the principal amount, the monthly payments, and any collateral pledged to secure the loan. This could be a stressful and difficult experience, but it’s essential that you do it. Once you have all this information at hand you can begin to understand it and chart a path forward. Once you have drawn up a list of all of your debts, you need to make some judgements about which debts are most important and most pressing. Start by determining which of your debts are secured and which and unsecured. This is important, because it shows you which debts could lead to you quickly losing property, such as your home.  Secured debts are those which are tied to a particular asset, such as your home or your car. If you default on your payments,  the debt holder can foreclose on the collateral pledged to secure a loan. Unsecured debts are those which are not tied to an asset, and generally include things like credit card debts, medical insurance bills, and signature loans. The next step is to go through your outstanding debts and prioritize them. Although all your debts are important, some are more important than others. The most important ones are generally those which could lead to you losing assets such as your home, automobile, and other physical property. These debts can include any rent you owe, mortgage payments, council or state taxes, and utility bills you have not paid.  Rent and utility becomes debts when you fall behind on the payments. These can lead to you being cut off from utilities and losing your home, so should be treated as a priority. Lower priority debts include credit card bills, some installment debt or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените ситуацию. Определите, какие из ваших долгов обеспечиваются залогом. Задайте приоритет долгам. Подумайте, находитесь ли вы в критической ситуации. Не берите дорогие кредиты.


The first step to goal setting is to have total belief and faith that you can succeed. If you don't believe you can absolutely transform your life and get what you want, then you might as well forget about goal setting and do something else. If you are in doubt, look around at your world. Everything started with a single thought! Eliminate negative self chatter such as "am I good enough?" You are good enough. If you are feeling like your commitment is wavering, get your goals out and read them. Also, write a few pages about how and why you are committing to each goal; why it is important to you, what it means to you, why the outcome is necessary and what you are going to do to make it happen. Without strong commitment, you are unlikely to follow through. As you go through the process of achieving your goals, you may want to check your commitment level.  Ask yourself if you are giving it your best effort. Check to make sure you are following through with each goal. If you stumble, make sure you are willing to recommit and move forward. Choose to learn from your experiences, win or lose. Some experts believe that taking a few minutes every day to visualize specific goals may have a significant impact on the degree of success you experience. In some cases research has revealed that mental practices are almost as effective as true physical practice. Before you go to sleep at night, try closing your eyes and visualizing your success. Telling your support system, like your family and friends about your personal goals will inspire you to complete your goals and help cement the commitment you have made to follow them through. Your friends or family members may ask you on occasion how you are proceeding, which will keep you focused on what you set out to do. Without telling anyone about your goal, it would be easier to give up and not feel any guilt over failing. All great achievers had dreams that seemed totally impossible at the start, but instead of letting the difficulties stop them, they decided to go ahead. Keep...

TL;DR in Russian:

Верьте в себя и в свое начинание. Заинтересуйте себя. Визуализируйте результат. Расскажите о своих целях другу. Сохраняйте положительный настрой.


The first step to good health is a good diet. Like us, gerbils need a balanced diet of greens, protein, fats, and vitamins. Their base diet should be a commercially produced gerbil food, because these are designed to accommodate all of their nutritional needs. However, this can be augmented with occasional treats. Food should be scattered across the surface of the bedding.  Start with gerbil pellets or combinations of seeds marketed at the pet store for gerbil consumption. Gerbils like seeds, but avoid giving them too many sunflower seeds, as these are particularly fatty.  Pumpkin seeds are better. Occasionally give them cheese for extra protein but don't give it to them regularly as it can result in them being obese and unwell. Supplement their dried food with fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables, including pear, melon, apple, oranges, cucumbers, carrots, pumpkins, and fennel. Rhubarb and grapes, on the other hand, are poisonous to gerbils. Hay is also a popular and healthy treat for gerbils; use the type available at pet stores.  You do not need bowls. Scattering food is easier for you and better for your gerbils as it encourages their natural instinct to forage, while discouraging fighting. Get one with a nice metal spout. It helps if the body is composed of clear plastic, so you can see how full it is with a glance. Hang it from a mesh lid on a glass aquarium or through the bars of your topper. Clean the spout regularly. Refill frequently enough that the gerbils always have access to water. A simple wooden box is ideal for nesting. These can be purchased at a store. Shred tissue paper into small strips and place into the box to make your gerbils bed complete. You should check the cage daily and remove any stale food that has not been eaten. Otherwise gerbils are relatively clean. The bedding will need to be replaced, but not more than once a week.

TL;DR in Russian:

Хорошо кормите песчанок. Обеспечьте песчанкам поилку с водой. Предоставьте песчанкам укрытие для сна. Периодически чистите клетку песчанок.


The first step to improving your posture is simply knowing what to look for in yourself. Make sure your shoulders are back, your stomach is in, and your chest is out. Stand sideways in a mirror and see if you can draw a straight line from your earlobe down through your shoulder, hip, knee, and ending at the middle of your ankle.  Head and neck: Make sure that your head extends straight up from your shoulders. Many people tend to lean their head forward. If your ears line up with the front of your chest, you need to pull your head back.  Shoulders, arms, and hands: Your arms and hands should fall on the side of your body. If so, your shoulders are exhibiting good posture. If your arms fall towards the front of your chest, then pull your shoulders back.  Hips: Find a happy middle position between rolling your hips far forward or backward. The most obvious sign of bad posture is back, shoulder, and neck pain. Poor posture causes your chest muscles to tighten, which forces your upper back muscles to compensate. This results in weaker back muscles in general, which produces pain and discomfort.  Since all of your muscles work together, when one muscle set isn't functioning properly, the others are affected. Not all people with poor posture feel pain or discomfort. Our bodies are fairly capable of adjusting and compensating. This is when the arch of your foot is almost completely flat. It is also often called a “fallen arch”. Our feet are the lowest balancing mechanism of our bodies. If you have poor posture, you are forcing your feet to work harder to maintain balance. This causes your feet to gradually “flatten” so as to provide a sturdier foundation. If you improve your posture, your weight should rest nearly entirely on top of your heels, freeing up the remainder of your foot to have an arch. While “fallen arches” are themselves a sign of poor posture, you may also experience pain in your feet, ankle, calf, knee, hip, and lower leg area in general. A study conducted at San Francisco State University asked...

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте, как выглядит  хорошая осанка. Примите во внимание боль и дискомфорт. Посмотрите на ноги, не видно ли чрезмерной пронации стопы. Оцените свое настроение.


The first step to litter training is watching your guinea pig. Most guinea pigs have a certain area of their cage where they eliminate. If you set up a guinea pig's litter box in this space, it's more likely to use the box.  Watch your guinea pig for a few days. Take note of where it tends to eliminate. You can also pay attention when you're cleaning the cage. You may notice a lot of droppings and urine in one area of the cage. You can buy a litter box online or make one yourself. Make sure the litter box is easy for your guinea pig to get in and out of. Place it in the corner of the cage where your guinea pig usually eliminates.  Make sure the box you choose is large enough that the guinea pig can fit its entire body in the box. Make sure the sides are low enough. The guinea pig should be able to climb in and out of the box with ease. Go for organic paper-based litters. Wood litters can sometimes cause respiratory problems. You can find guinea pig litter online or purchase some at a local pet store. If you can't find a litter box that works for you, you can always place litter in the corner of the box. Some guinea pigs have more than one corner where they eliminate. If this is the case, they are less likely to start using a single litter box. If your guinea pig eliminates in more than one corner, set up a box in each corner the guinea pig tends to use.

TL;DR in Russian:

The first step to making amends is embracing your guilt. Instead of trying to ignore or dismiss it, see what you can learn. If you're feeling guilty, it's because you've done something wrong. You may need to make up for this, and change your behavior in the future.  Think about why you're feeling guilty. Did you hurt someone you care about? Did you lash out at a friend or family member? What can you do better in the future? What should you do to make up for it in the present? However, do not lapse into shame. Shame is when you judge your whole self based on a few actions. This is counterproductive and will lead you to feel bad about yourself without making any productive changes. As you acknowledge your guilt, remember bad actions and decisions do not make you a bad person. It's important to be able to admit to mistakes without making excuses, especially if you've hurt another person. In order to change and make amends, you need to recognize your behavior was a problem.  Avoid making excuses for yourself. Do not think, "Yes, I snapped at my friends, but I had a lot of stress going on" or "Yes, I was difficult yesterday, but my childhood makes me act this way." If you're making excuses, you're more likely to let bad behavior slide in the future. Instead, think to yourself, "I made a mistake. I can't change that, but I can work on improving in the future." If you want to make up for your errors, try to have a sense of how you hurt someone. Think about what you said or did. Imagine how the other person felt being on the receiving end of your behavior.  It may not be easy to have empathy. This may be especially true if you're working on moving on. If you're forgiving yourself, you may think less about the other person you hurt. However, self-forgiveness can be difficult. In order to really commit to change, you need to stay empathetic. Spend a lot of time reflecting on how you hurt someone, and putting yourself in that person's shoes. This will ultimately help you slow down and consider your actions a bit more in...

TL;DR in Russian:

Признайте, что чувство вины полезно. Примите то, что вы сделали неправильно. Воспитывайте в себе способность к сопереживанию. Найдите способ загладить вину.


The first step to making any transformation in your life is to commit to change. Making a conscious, willful declaration to yourself that you will stick it out and pursue your desired outcome can help keep you motivated and push you to achieve that goal. In this case, you should be committing to living a more consistent, stable life.  Think about the reasons why you want a more consistent life. Are you seeking consistency for yourself, your family, or for some entirely different reason? Whatever your reason for seeking consistency, use it to help keep you motivated. Any time you start to doubt yourself or question your efforts, think about how much better your life (or your family's life) will be. Reassure yourself that you can do it, and that the results will be worth your efforts. Some people become addicted to chaos, which can be just as damaging as addictions to drugs or alcohol. These individuals crave what some call the reliably unpredictable - meaning that inconsistency is the only constant in that person's life. While it's good to pull yourself out of ruts by spicing things up in your life once in a while, chaos in any form is very unstable and is not very sustainable for long periods of time.  Chaos can take many forms. It may involve erratic behavior, mood swings, or being absorbed in other people's problems (often as a way of avoiding your own). If you find yourself experiencing a lot of chaos in your life, step back and think about the ways in which you might be inviting or even pursuing that chaos. Try to step away from other people's chaos. That doesn't necessarily mean cutting those individuals out of your life, it simply means resisting the urge to get involved in the turmoil and drama around you. It's impossible to have real consistency in your life if you keep courting chaos. Just as you resolved to find consistency, you must also resolve to resist chaos going forward. Having a purpose does not necessarily mean having goals. People with purposeful lives often have clearly-defined goals that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьтесь меняться. Не допускайте хаоса. Определите намерения. Здоровый образ жизни. Занимайтесь медитацией. Тренируйте осознанность. Выработайте постоянный режим сна. Придерживайтесь обещания самому себе.


The first step to mastering a graceful walking posture is to make sure your head is always in a natural, upright position, instead of bent forward or pointed towards the sky. You will know that your head is in the right position if your chin in parallel to the floor.  You should also be conscious of not jutting your head out in front of you, which can often happen when you walk in heels. If you notice that you are doing this, try to lean back slightly so that your head is in line with your spine. Try to keep your shoulders down and back. You want to avoid having them hunched forward or elevated near your ears at all times, whether you are walking or not. If you're not sure about the position of your shoulders, try standing with your back against a wall. You shoulders should be far enough back that they both touch the wall, but not so far back that they prevent your upper spine from touching the wall. If you try too hard to avoid hunching over, you might find that you are arching your spine. This is not ideal posture either, so try to relax a bit! Your spine should be as straight as possible, without any noticeable curves in your shoulders or low back. The easiest way to check the straightness of your spine is to look in a full-length mirror. Your spine should create a straight line all the way from your neck to your tailbone. If you're arching your back, you will probably notice that your butt is sticking out a little. Your legs are the foundation of your posture, so it's important that they are in the correct position when you are walking. Not only will the proper leg position make you appear more graceful, but it will also help prevent back pain. To achieve the ideal posture, the distance between your feet should be about the same as the width of your shoulders. You should also avoid locking your knees. Your abdominal muscles are very important for maintaining good posture. Try to consciously draw your lower belly in while you walk. If your abdominal muscles are not very strong, a good exercise regimen can...

The first step to moving into your own place is figuring out what you can afford. If you have a job lined up, look at how much you’ll be making and compare it with your expected expenses. Figure out how much you can afford to spend on rent and still have money to spare for other things. A generally good rule is that your annual (yearly) income should be 40 times the monthly rent. For example, if your rent is 550 then you should probably make at least 22,000 a year or more.    Keep in mind that you may need to save a little extra money for the initial move. Most apartments require a security deposit (usually equal to the rent amount). A lot of places also require first month's rent, and sometimes even last month's rent depending on the landlord. You may also need to pay for a moving van or a professional moving service. Some apartments have income requirements for their tenants (e.g., you must earn 3 times the cost of rent each month). If you can’t meet those income requirements, you might be able to get around them by using a cosigner. In addition to rent, common living expenses include transportation costs (e.g., gas and car maintenance), groceries and dining, home utilities (e.g., water, electricity, gas, Internet, and TV), and your phone bill. You may also have other expenses, such as student loan payments or credit card payments. Not all apartments are created equal. Before you start apartment hunting, think about your needs, and make a list of features you really want or need your new home to have. Prioritize the must-haves, and then make a list of features that you want, but don’t necessarily need. Consider things like:  The monthly rent payment If the utilities are included in the rent The size of the apartment Which floor the apartment is on If the apartment is furnished If the apartment is pet-friendly Parking availability Building security Amenities (e.g., laundry facilities and common areas) In addition to thinking about the apartment itself, you’ll also need to consider the area where your future...

The first step to moving past an humiliating experience is to grasp what the emotion is and why it shows up. Humiliation is the experience of losing a piece of your status as a valuable human being. This diminishment has negative consequences for your life because your status as a worthwhile person affects what you think is possible. If you feel intense humiliation, it may change what you think you can do with your life, such as your ability to pursue an education or potential to have the career you want. Some common humiliating experiences are:  Being publicly shamed, like being laughed at or mocked. Being denied basic needs, like food and clothing. Research shows that being humiliated can have powerful negative effects on a person’s self-esteem and quality of life. It can result in major depression, symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder like high anxiety, and suicidal desires. If you feel yourself slipping into serious mental health problems because of a humiliating experience, contact your doctor or local psychologist about getting help.  Cognitive behavioral therapy can help restructure your thoughts and lead you to a healthier, more realistic understanding of the situation. It can help you recover your self-worth and belief in your abilities after a bad case of humiliation.  Find a local therapist by clicking here. Sometimes a person may try to humiliate you despite your innocence in a situation. For example, he might be jealous of your accomplishments and want to make you feel poorly about yourself. It may have nothing to do with you. Before you accept responsibility for your actions, which is different than accepting being humiliated, make sure you actually did something wrong. Many of us may feel humiliated at relatively small things. These failures can feel like a disaster and we may think that people are judging us harshly, but in the bigger picture they probably don’t deserve the significance we place on them. Avoid sweating the small stuff. For example, botching an interview or a live musical...

TL;DR in Russian:

Разберитесь, откуда произрастает унижение. Осознайте последствия унижения. Определите, виноваты ли вы. Посмотрите на картину целиком. Не поддавайтесь унижению.


The first step to organizing your clothing is sorting your clothes. You can do this by taking everything out of your closet, wardrobe, or dresser and piling it on the floor or bed. If you keep your clothes in multiple places, consider tackling each place one at a time. For example:  If you keep your clothes in a closet and a dresser, sort and organize your closet first. Then, once you have finished, repeat the whole process for your dresser. Consider getting a box or basket for any items that you find that do not belong in your closet, wardrobe, or dresser. Create two different piles: a "keep" pile and a "get rid of" pile. Put the clothes you do wear into the "keep" pile, and the clothes you don't wear anymore into the "get rid of" pile. Try to spend no more than a few seconds when deciding which pile you should place something into.  If you need more than a few seconds to decide on whether or not you will wear something again, consider creating a third pile. This pile will be the "maybe" pile, and it will hold the items you need to give more thought to. You can also use baskets or boxes to hold your clothes as you sort through them instead of just piling them on the floor or bed. Once you have decided what clothes you will be keeping and getting rid of, it is time for you to further divide up the piles. Go to your "keep" pile and sort out the clothes that need to be laundered from the clean clothes that can be hung up or folded up and put away. Once you have finished sorting the clean clothes from the dirty clothes in your "keep" pile, take the dirty clothes and put them into a laundry basket. This helps prevent things from piling up and taking up space. To save time, put your dirty clothes into the washing machine now. This way, they can wash while you continue sorting and organizing. You may have placed clothes into the "get rid of" pile either because you no longer like them, they don't fit you any more, or they are too faded, stained, or torn to be worn. Some of these clothes will need to be thrown away,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Достаньте все вещи из шкафа. Разложите вещи на две стопки. Отделите грязные вещи от чистых в стопке с одеждой, которую вы хотите оставить. Сложите грязную одежду в корзину для грязного белья. Теперь разделите стопку с одеждой, от которой вы хотите избавиться, на две стопки. Выбросьте полинявшие, запятнанные и рваные вещи. Раздайте все остальные ненужные вещи. Пересмотрите одежду в стопке с вещами, которые вы планируете оставить.


The first step to preparing an effective apology is to realize what you did wrong. Don’t make up excuses for why you did what you did or blame others. Be brutally honest with yourself, and determine what offense you committed that contributed to the conflict. Consider how what you did or didn’t do effected the other person and his or her life. You can now comprehend the Taurus personality a little better, so take a moment to think of how he or she feels both during and after the offense. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes, and use the Taurus perspective to imagine these emotions very clearly—anger, hurt or disappointment. Recognize that you wish you hadn’t done the action or said the words you did but don’t beat yourself up about it. Everyone makes mistakes, but your apology will only be effective after you forgive yourself. This is because guilt is very distracting, and an apology is not about you but the person you wronged. Forgiving yourself, apologizing to the person you hurt and trying not to make the same mistake again are the best things you can do for a guilty conscience. The purpose of guilt is to discourage you from going against your values, moral codes or beliefs. Know that holding onto guilt serves no positive function. Every conflict has 2 sides and at least 2 people contributing to the problem. If the conflict occurred with a Taurus, then chances are you were also hurt in some way. Your apology will not be sincere if you have not gotten over the harm he or she caused you. Even if you don’t say anything about it, you will not be able to forget the things that hurt you, and resentment may slip through in other ways.   Think of at least one reason that the other person reacted the way he or she did. Consider the earlier exercise when you put yourself in the other person’s shoes.  It is easier to forgive someone when you see their point of view and understand motivations, emotions and personality traits. This type of compassion may encourage others to forgive you more easily as well. ...
