To stay motivated during your work to become studious, you shouldn’t think you’ve failed if you didn’t go from having a C-average in Calculus to an A-average. Instead, you should be proud of yourself from moving from a C to a B-minus, and so on. When it comes to being studious and feeling motivated to succeed, you should work in increments or get disappointed and lose steam. Compare your progress to yourself, not others. Chart your progress. When you see how much you’ve improved since the beginning of your commitment to be studious, you’ll be truly proud of yourself. Though not every subject in school will fascinate you, you should try to find something you care about in each and every class. Maybe English isn’t your favorite subject, but you’ve found that A Separate Peace or Catcher in the Rye is your new favorite novel; you don’t have to like everything in school, but you should still look for something that truly fascinates you and motivates you to keep working. If you find just a few things to care about in each class, you’ll be much more motivated to be studious. Remember that you’re not just studying to pass tests, but to truly acquire knowledge, and caring about what you’re learning can really help that. Though working with a partner or a group doesn’t work for everyone, you should consider mixing it up and working to be studious with others, sometimes. You can learn a lot from working with other people, and they can help keep you focused and on-track. You may also find that you learn more from a close friend than from a teacher, and that you gain mastery of a subject after trying to teach it to your friends. Consider this study technique the next time you hit the books.  Some people are more social learners and they learn a lot better with others. If this is you, then you should try working with one friend first, and then opening your studies up to a study group. Just make sure that your study groups actually spend most of their time studying with occasional breaks; you don’t want to get sucked into a...

TL;DR in Russian:

To stop yourself from sliding back into a situation of doubt and guilt, design small challenges that will help you become a better person. You can do this by setting a routine for a month on something you want to improve. By doing something for a month - like tracking calories - you will begin to develop a helpful routine to improvement. This will help you self-actualize forgiveness by acting in a positive way. Try and give yourself a performance review to identify measurable means of self-improvement. If you find yourself feeling guilty over procrastinating, for example, make a to-do list and try to stick with it. It is important to identify things that you can control. This will benefit self-forgiveness by self-improvement. Self-awareness is the ability to predict consequences of our actions.  Thinking about ourselves and our actions can help us be better people by creating a self-imposed morality. You can practice self-awareness by noting your strengths, observing your reactions to situations, and expressing your emotions.

Станьте лучше, ставя перед собой определенные задачи. Работайте над ошибками. Практикуйте самосознание.


To store ginger in a zipper storage bag, simply take the unpeeled ginger and place it in a zipper bag, taking care to push all of the air out of the bag. Place it in the veggie crisper in your fridge and have it stay crisp and fresh for several weeks. When compared to other methods, such as storing the ginger in a paper bag or wrapping it with a paper towel and then placing it in the bag, this method came up lasting the longest by quite a few weeks. If the ginger is already peeled, this method will work too, but it won't last as long as it would with the peel on. Store a chunk of unpeeled ginger by carefully wrapping it in a paper towel until there's no air holes or uncovered parts and then place it in a paper bag. Take care to push all of the air out of the paper bag before you seal it. Place the ginger in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator and store it for a few weeks. If you're in a pinch for time, you can just place the ginger in a paper bag and put the bag in the vegetable crisper of your fridge. The ginger won't last as long as it will using the other methods, but this is a quick and easy trick to use if you know you'll be eating the ginger within a week. This is a solid method for quickly storing herbs such as dill or cilantro as well. Just place the freshly peeled ginger in a jar or sealable container and submerge them a spirit or acidic liquid. The most commonly used liquids are: vodka, dry sherry, sake, rice wine, rice vinegar, and fresh lime juice. Vodka and sherry are the most popularly used spirits, and vodka has been shown to have the longest-lasting results while altering the flavor of the ginger the least. Though this is a solid storage method, be aware that the liquid will change the flavor of the ginger a bit -- or a lot.

To store ginger in the refrigerator, wrap the ginger root in paper towel, then in plastic and place in the crisper. It should keep for approximately two weeks. in the freezer. To store ginger in the freezer, tightly wrap the root in plastic (you can peel it first if you like) and keep it there for up to six months. When you need to use the ginger, you can grate it while it's still frozen. In fact, ginger is easier to work with while frozen as it is less fibrous.

To support a delicate bouquet, you may want to use brown craft paper or a thick wrapping paper. If your flowers have strong stems and blooms, you can use a more delicate paper, like tissue paper or newsprint. Choose a color that will look good with your flowers, not compete with it. For example, if you have an orange flower, think about using red and yellow tissue paper which will bring out the orange color.

To survive, gather food and water and then jump straight to digging. In multiplayer mode, especially with Friendly Fire switched off, players tend to kill other players to get their loot; ammunition and weaponry will be hard to find.  You will last a lot longer if you create a good underground bunker. Make sure to block up your entrance to avoid other players from discovering your hide out. Explosives such as Tin Land Mine and Pipe Bomb are good weapons. You can throw pipe bombs at players or zombies, while the tin land mine is a ground-based explosive which can be strategically placed on any flat surface except water.  Tin Land Mine: You need 1 Scrap Metal, 1 Gunpowder, and 1 Candy Tin Can. To craft, just place the three materials in the middle of the craft window from top to bottom, scrap metal, Gunpowder and candy tin can, respectively. Pipe Bomb: You only need 1 Plant Fiber, 1 Gunpowder and 1 short Iron Pipe. Short Iron Pipe can be found in air conditioners or can be crafted from Forging Iron. To craft a Pipe Bomb, place the Gunpowder in the very center of the craft window, Plant Fibers above it and the Short Iron Pipe below. If you plan on spending a lot of time underground, you should consider having to openings to your mine. While this can be a little more difficult to defend, it can greatly increase your chance of survival if one entrance is blocked. Use land mines to defend the exit you are least likely to use, and make sure that it is well-disguised.

To swallow air, you need to go through the motions of swallowing without food. Think of the feeling of having a mouthful of food. Go through the motions of swallowing without food in your mouth. Each swallow will draw more air into your mouth.  Pull the air in your mouth to the back of your throat. Swallow a gulp of air. Repeat the process of swallowing air several times to build up a bubble in your stomach. The more air you are able to get into your stomach, the larger and louder your burp will be. Squeeze your abdominal muscles to push all the air together in your stomach.  Prepare for the upcoming burp by pushing all the air into one bubble. Hold the burp in for a moment to build up pressure. Give the air a way to escape your stomach by opening your mouth. An open mouth allows the air to resonate and creates a louder sound. Wretch your stomach and diaphragm muscles to squeeze the air out of your stomach and force the burp to emerge. Keep your throat and mouth open to allow as much air to escape as possible.  A longer burp will generate louder sounds. Contract your diaphragm muscles towards the end of your burp to squeeze any remaining air out. Keep your mouth open during the burp so the sound is not muffled.

To switch tabs on any phone running Android or iOS and using the Chrome mobile browser, follow these steps:  Touch the tab overview icon. This looks like a square on Android 5+, or two overlapping squares on iPhone. Android 4 or below may display either a square or two overlapping rectangles. Scroll vertically through the tabs. Press the one you want to use. The Chrome browser on most Android or iOS phones can switch tabs with finger gestures instead:  On Android, swipe horizontally across the top toolbar to switch tabs quickly. Alternatively, drag vertically down from the toolbar to open the tab overview.  On iOS, place your finger on the left or right edge of the screen and swipe inward. A tablet should display all the open tabs along the top of the screen, just like a computer browser. Touch the tab you want to switch to. To reorder tabs, press and hold on a tab name, then drag to a different position.

To teach your dog that storms are nothing to fear, play a recording of a thunderstorm on very low volume for several hours, once a week. Each week, if the dog shows no signs of agitation, turn up the volume slightly. It can take a long time for your dog to adapt, but eventually your dog may learn not to fear thunder. If this agitates your dog too much, start with 5–10 minute daily sessions instead. Give your dog a treat or a toy when it shows calm behavior during a storm, or when it obeys a command despite its fear. Train it to respond to a "relax," "calm," or "settle" command. Training your dog with an indoor leash is also highly effective.  For example, treat your house like an indoor obstacle course and lead your dog around asking him/her to perform certain commands.  If at any time this appears to be causing more stress, stop, and work on calming your dog. To curb stress and anxiety, engage with your dog before the storm hits. Prepare indoor activities, and make sure your dog's safe place is set up.

To tell if you experience frustration that falls outside the normal range, answer these questions. You might find that your frustration is extreme, and if that’s the case, seeking therapy or anger management classes might be a valuable option.  Are you usually irritable? Do you normally respond to frustration by blaming or snapping at others? Do you self-medicate letdowns with alcohol, drugs and excessive eating? Do you often hurt others’ feelings when you are responding to frustration? Do you tend to feel misunderstood after a bout of frustration has passed? Do you often lose your cool in the middle of a hard day of work or school? When you get disappointed, do you feel as though life is impossible or that you are unworthy? Spend some time thinking or writing about the potential sources of frustration in your life. Be as specific as possible about what triggers your frustration--maybe it's a co-worker or classmate you find frustrating or even the way that someone says or does something. Try to consider whether or not this source of frustration is something that you want to control and cannot. For example, you cannot control another person's point of view. But, you can control whether or not you engage this person in conversation.  Doing this will help you understand and accept these things in the long-term, making you more capable of handling them with patience. Alternately, you might find that you can avoid certain frustrations entirely. For example, if you take a slow, traffic-heavy route home from work, you could opt for a slightly longer route that allows you to avoid it. Frustration is not always misplaced, and it may be a reasonable response to a very real and difficult issue or issues in your life. However, frustration can build if you believe that every problem has a clear solution and there's something wrong with you or with your life for not being able to arrive at it. Instead of trying to solve a difficulty once and for all, try to focus on cultivating a helpful attitude toward it. Understand why...

To test various growth conditions for mold, you will need multiple samples. Moisten as many pieces of bread necessary to test your conditions. Place each one in a separate bag.  For example, if you want to test 3 different temperatures, make 3 samples. Before each experiment, make some predictions about what will happen. Make a hypothesis about how quickly the mold will grow under each condition. Write down whether you think there will be more or less mold for each condition at the end of the experiment. Keep all other conditions the same (temperature and amount of light), but add different levels of moisture. Have 1 slice with no moisture, 1 slice that is just damp, and 1 slice that is soaked in water. Check the samples daily to see if the growth of mold is different between the 3 pieces. To test mold growth at different temperatures, store 1 sample at room temperature, 1 in the refrigerator, and 1 in the freezer.  Remember, to minimize variability, you will want to use the same amount of water for each piece of bread and store the room temperature sample in the dark, as the samples in the fridge and the freezer will mostly be in darkness.  Check each sample daily and see which piece of bread grows the most mold the fastest. If you want to test whether or not light has an effect on the growth of mold, store samples in different light environments. Place 1 bag in total darkness and 1 bag in a brightly-lit area.  To minimize variability, make sure the temperatures of both environments are the same. Use the same amount of water for each piece of bread as well. If the amount of water and temperature is also different, you won’t know whether the difference in growth rate is due to the light, water, or the temperature. Observe your samples daily to check for differences in growth rate and amount.

TL;DR in Russian:

To thrive, grapevines need the right amount of sun, proper drainage and a form of support.  Choose a sunny spot. Grapes need 7-8 hours of full sun daily for best results. Make sure you have plenty of space. Space your plants about 8' (2.5 m) apart to allow for growth. Grapes require well drained soil. If you have clay or other poorly drained soil, augment it with decomposed compost, sand or other soil amendments to increase drainage.  Alternatively, use a raised bed filled with a good sandy loam mixed with compost.    Check the pH of your soil before planting your grapes. Different types of grapes thrive best with different soil pH levels (5.5-6.0 for natives, 6.0-6.5 for hybrids, and 6.5-7.0 for vinifera), so it is best to either plant in an area with a pH level in the right range, or adjust your soil’s pH before planting.  If you are planning to grow grapes for wine, be aware that different types of soil (e.g., sandy, silty, rich in limestone, or rich in clay) will affect the flavor of the wine. Two weeks after planting, add a small amount of 10-10-10 fertilizer to the soil around the base of your young plants. Repeat this process once per year every spring after that. Grapevines need a trellis or arbor for proper support. The first year in the vineyard (2 years after starting from seed), when your plants are still small, stakes will be sufficient to support them and keep them off the ground. As they grow, you will need to train them to the trellis or arbor. Tie the tip of the shoots to the wire, and allow it to grow along the wire. Grapevines take up to three years to start producing fruit. During that time, proper care and training of your plants is essential for the best fruit yield.  Year One: Watch for growth. Choose the strongest three shoots on the plant and allow those to grow. Pinch off all others. The three remaining shoots will grow stronger and more vigorous. Year Two: Fertilize using a balance fertilizer. Remove flower clusters as they emerge; allowing the vine to fruit this early will deplete...

To throw a Frisbee correctly, place your index and middle finger under disk, close to the lip. Curl the two fingers to get a firm grip, and twist your body to your throwing hand side. Take a step forward with your dominant foot, and untwist your body. Once you have faced forward, flick your wrist, release the disc, and point where you want the disc to go. Keep the Frisbee parallel to the ground. As you advance, you can develop more complex throwing motions into your game with some practice. This is To "hammer throw," put your index and middle fingers under the disk and put your thumb on top. Do not curl your index and middle fingers. Like you are throwing any ball, raise the disk over your head, and have the disk angled towards your head. Make sure you have about a 50-55 degree angle on the disk. Still keeping the angle, throw the disk forward and upward. The disk should fly perpendicular to the ground for a couple seconds and flip upside down to float softly to the ground. This throw is a little tricky to catch, but can be useful under heavy defense. Try a sidearm toss. Place your index and middle fingers under the disk, and curl them against the lip of the disk. Place your thumb on top. Twist your body slightly towards the disk, and flick your wrist to release the disk. Make sure you twist your hand towards your body when you throw to put enough spin the disk to fly. This throw is very useful when you are being defended by an opposing player, but takes practice. The difference between teams that are good at Ultimate Frisbee and teams that are just playing is in the speed of the passes. Practice making quick, crisp, accurate passes with your teammates and moving quickly down the field to keep the defense off balance. Though the player in possession has 10 seconds to hold onto the Frisbee, it should be a rarity that a player holds the Frisbee for longer than five. Don't worry about making "hail mary" passes that launch all the way down the field. These types of passes are low-probability and will more often...

To treat gestational diabetes, natural treatments are similar to medical treatments, but the dietary approaches in the natural treatment of gestational diabetes emphasize whole foods. Keep your food as close to its original or natural form as possible.  This means that you should try to limit any processed or prepared foods and cook from scratch as much as possible.  If you are pressed for time, try using a crock pot or preparing the basics, such as rice, beans, meats, and vegetables, ahead of time and freezing those basics. Another ingredient that you can use in cooking from scratch that can help you is cinnamon. Cinnamon has also been used to help control blood sugar levels and is considered safe for pregnant women in the amounts used normally in foods. This corresponds to approximately 1000 mg every day.  While "natural" food companies like to tout the benefits of organic foods, research does not show a benefit in managing gestational diabetes. It is most important to eat plenty of fresh, whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Your diet should include at least around 40 to 50% of your daily intake of calories from complex, high fiber carbohydrates. Eat most of your complex carbohydrates at lunch and cut down on the portion sizes for other meals. This helps to regulate your blood sugar and insulin production throughout the day. Complex carbohydrates are found in whole, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal. Another good rule of thumb is no “white” foods, meaning no white bread, white pasta, or white rice, which are simple carbohydrates. While both simple and complex carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in the body, the idea is that it takes the body longer to break down the complex carbohydrates than it takes to use the simple carbohydrates. This means that the body has a better chance to process the glucose. Simple carbohydrates are often found in processed foods, which include added sugars like glucose, table sugar, and fructose such as high fructose...

To treat your IBS, talk to your doctor about taking acidophilus probiotic for 6 weeks. Choose a probiotic supplement, such as Proviva or Lacteol Fort, that contains viable lyophilized bacteria species including lactobacillus, bifidobacteria, and streptococcus. This can be taken in a drink or capsule form. When you are buying one, make sure the supplement contains 10 billion CFU of lactobacillus acidophilus. You should take this supplement twice per day.  Some people find it beneficial to take digestive enzymes along with probiotics to really heal the gut and provide help with digestion. Acidophilus bacteria colonizes in the large intestine. It can help to repair damage due to IBS and help control diarrhea and constipation. Taking acidophilus can cause additional gas or diarrhea for the first few days of treatment. The diarrhea should go away and your gas should be reduced after your body adjusts. See a doctor if you have diarrhea for more than 2 days and discontinue use of the supplement. You can use acidophilus to help prepare your body for the issues it goes through when you take an antibiotic. Consult with your doctor about counteracting the side effects by taking an acidophilus supplement containing lactobacillus when going on a course of antibiotics. This is necessary because antibiotics kill both harmful and friendly bacteria. You can recolonize the good bacteria through the use of at least 20 billion CFU per day, which is available in a products such as Culturelle. Take the acidophilus 2 hours before or after you take an antibiotic pill. Antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the active cultures, so staggering them with other pills will help. Sometimes when you go on trips, you suffer from traveler's diarrhea. To help prevent this, choose an acidophilus brand that does not break down under normal temperatures, as most acidophilus does, and one that doesn't need to be refrigerated. This will make it easier to take with you when traveling. Take 2 billion CFU of a Lactobacillus GG supplement, such as...

To try to get the foreign object dislodged, you need to push your fist and hand into your diaphragm or stomach area. Use a quick j-shaped motion, in and then up. Repeat multiple times.  If this does not dislodge the foreign object very quickly, you need to try to add more force with a stable object. In your immediate area, you need to find a stable object that is about waist high that you can bend over. A chair, a table, or a counter top will work well for this. With your hands still clasped in front of you, bend over the chair, table, counter, or other solid object. Brace your fists between the chair and your abdomen and drive your body against the solid object. This will greatly increase the force you apply to your diaphragm, which will be more effective to help dislodge seriously stuck foreign objects. You may not be able to dislodge the object during the first try. You need to quickly repeat pushing yourself onto the stable object until the object is removed. You should return to normal breathing once it is removed.   Although it is very scary, it is better if you stay calm. Panicking will only increase your heart rate and need for air, which will make it worse. Once you have it dislodged, sit down and catch your breath. If you find that you are uncomfortable or your throat is sore, you may need to see your doctor.  If you cannot get it dislodged, call 911.

To understand DID, you need to be aware of the symptoms, the underlying causes, and how you can help alleviate symptoms or reduce their impact in the home. To thoroughly understand the disorder, it is important to talk to a professional who can walk you through DID. Some basics of DID include:  When a person has multiple personalities that take over his original personality. Each personality has a different memory, so if your loved one does something while being controlled by an alter (which is another personality) he or she will most likely not remember it. The usual cause of the disorder is some childhood abuse, trauma, insecurity or torture. The symptoms of DID include auditory hallucinations, amnesia (memory loss), fugue episodes in which the person travels in search of something without knowing what or why, depression and anxiety. That is, although it may be somewhat upsetting for you to be faced with an alter, do your best to avoid panicking. To stay calm, keep in mind that you are dealing with a (while somewhat mysterious) well-documented disorder. As you learn about DID, get used to the idea that your loved one may have several personalities, or alters, within him/her and all of those alters might be completely different, in age, personality, maybe even gender. Remember that, while under the influence of an alter, your loved one is somewhat of a different person. It is possible that some of his alters may not recognize or even know about you. In addition, the person might suddenly switch to another alter even if in the middle of something like work, conversation or activity. Whether or not you acknowledge the alter or pretend that you do not know the person is under the influence of an alter will depend on the specific situation you are in (e.g., if you are around strangers for just a moment it may be better to avoid the subject or an unwanted and long conversation may ensue) and the specific alter (e.g., whether it is an alter that gets upset about those kinds of discussions) who is present. Your...

To understand electronegativity, it's important first to understand what a "bond" is. Any two atoms in a molecule that are "connected" to each other on a molecular diagram are said to have a bond between them. This means that they share a set of two electrons with each atom contributing  one electron to the bond. The exact reasons for why atoms share electrons and bond are a little beyond the scope of this article. If you want to learn more, try this article on the bond basics or WikiHow's own How to Study the Nature of the Chemical Bond (Chemistry). When two atoms share a set of two electrons in a bond, they don't always share them equally. When one atom has higher electronegativity than the atom it's bonded to, it pulls the two electrons in the bond closer to itself. An atom with very high electronegativity may pull the electrons all the way to its side of the bond, barely sharing them at all with the other atom. For example, in the molecule NaCl (sodium chloride), the chloride atom has a fairly high electronegativity and the sodium has a fairly low one. Thus, the electrons will get pulled towards the chloride and away from the sodium. An electronegativity table of the elements has the elements arranged exactly like in a periodic table, except that each atom is labeled with its electronegativity. These can be found in a variety of chemical textbooks and technical articles as well as online.  Here is a link to an excellent electronegativity table. Note that this uses the Pauling electronegativity scale, which is most common. However, there are other ways to measure electronegativity, one of which will be shown below. If you don't have an electronegativity table handy, you can still estimate the strength of an atom's electronegativity compared to the strength of another element's atom based on where it is located on a normal periodic table. Although you will not be able to calculate a number value, you can evaluate the difference between the electronegativities of 2 different elements. As a general rule:  An...

To understand how best to pay down your debt, you first need to understand how much you owe. Add together all your debts, including credit cards, short-term loans, student loans, and any mortgages or auto financing you have in your name. Look at your total debt numbers to help you understand how much you owe and how long it will realistically take to pay it off. Debts like credit cards tend to have higher interest rates than things like student loans. The longer you carry a balance on high-interest debts, the more you ultimately pay. Prioritize paying down your highest-interest debts first, making minimum payments on other debts and putting extra money into your top debt priorities.  If you have a short-term loan (a car loan, for example), pay that down, too, as quickly as possible. Such loans can become very expensive if not paid off in full and on time. When you pay off a credit card balance, don’t roll that payment amount back into your discretionary funds. Instead, roll the amount you were paying into your next debt.   If, for example, you finish paying off a credit card, take the amount you were putting toward that card and add it to the minimum payment you've been making on another card or a student loan. The point is that you want to eliminate all recurring, long- and short-term debt as soon as possible so that you can live interest-free.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, сколько в сумме вы должны. Поставьте в приоритет кредиты с высокими процентами. Сразу переходите от выплаты одного кредита к другому.


To understand relationship compatibility, you must first have an understanding of the signs of the zodiac and what they mean. The twelve signs are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each sign is derived from a configuration of astral bodies thought to dictate the characteristics of the people born during times when those bodies are prominent in the heavens. In addition to its constellation form, each sign is assigned an elemental significance, bearing one or more traits of the earth’s natural forces. The classifications are as follows: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Air (Aquarius, Gemini, Libra), Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), and Earth (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo). A sign’s element comes from the role of its physical form in the natural order. Elemental classifications are a kind of rough grouping of attributes: Fire signs tend to be inquisitive, passionate, optimistic, while Water signs are loyal, sympathetic and driven; Earth signs are known for their rationale, practicality and stability, and Air signs are friendly, sociable and love making connections. As a general rule, zodiac signs that fall under the domain of Fire are believed to have the greatest compatibility with those of Air, while Water and Earth signs make the best pairings with their respective qualities. There are also other compatibilities that fall outside of the usual elemental matches; these mostly have to do with the complementary traits, preferences and emotional behaviors of the different signs.  Examples of strong compatibility through the zodiac include Pisces and Capricorn, Sagittarius and Aquarius, and even Virgo and Virgo—people of a certain sign are often quite compatible with another of their kind. Make a note of what types your sign is compatible with and be on the lookout for these types when dating. No two signs in the zodiac are truly incompatible—there are only varying levels of compatibility, the highest of which are expressed in the traditional...

To understand square roots, it's best to start with squares. Squares are easy — taking the square of a number is just multiplying it by itself. For instance, 3 squared is the same as 3 × 3 = 9 and 9 squared is the same as 9 × 9 = 81. Squares are written by marking a small "2" above and to the right of the number being squared — like this: 32, 92, 1002, and so on. Try squaring a few more numbers on your own to test this concept out. Remember, squaring a number is just multiplying it by itself. You can even do this for negative numbers. If you do, the answer will always be positive. For example, -82 = -8 × -8 = 64. The square root symbol (√, also called a "radical" symbol) means basically the "opposite" of the 2 symbol. When you see a radical, you want to ask yourself, "what number can multiply by itself to give the number under the radical?" For instance, if you see √(9), you want to find the number that can be squared to make nine. In this case, the answer is three, because 32 = 9.  As another example,  let's find the square root of 25 (√(25)). This means we want to find the number that squares to make 25. Since 52 = 5 × 5 = 25, we can say that √(25) = 5. You can also think of this as "undoing" a square. For example, if we want to find √(64), the square root of 64, let's start by thinking of 64 as 82. Since a square root symbol basically "cancels out" a square, we can say that √(64) = √(82) = 8. Up until now, the answers to our square root problems have been nice, round numbers. This isn't always the case — in fact, square root problems can sometimes have answers that are very long, inconvenient decimals. Numbers that have square roots that are whole numbers (in other words, numbers that aren't fractions or decimals) are called perfect squares. All of the examples listed above (9, 25, and 64) are perfect squares because when we take their square roots, we get whole numbers (3, 5, and 8). On the other hand, numbers that don't give whole numbers when you take their square roots are called imperfect squares....

To understand the thought patterns that lead you to self-harm, you first need to acknowledge your thoughts. Your thought process is a habit that you have. To break the habit of thinking negative thoughts, you need to become aware of these thoughts. One tool to help understand your triggers and thought patterns is journaling. Writing down your feelings will help identify patterns that lead to self-harm. Also, journaling provides an outlet to share your feelings and process your thoughts.  Write down when you feel the urge to self-harm, or when you actually do harm yourself. Try to write down the situation, thought, feeling or emotion that you experienced. You may have also experienced physical sensations such as energy, tightening of the stomach, or other actions. Write down what happened just before the self-harming. Journaling might reveal that you are experiencing certain situations that create the urge to self-harm. Some of these situations might be: problems with peers (including bullying or cyber-bullying), pressure at school, feeling socially isolated, abuse, confusion around sexuality, or issues in your family.  The goal is to become aware of your thoughts and not passively acting on negative thoughts that lead to self-harming behaviors. The next step in combating negative thinking is to assess your thought process. Are your thoughts true?  Look at your thought record and assess what similar situation you were in, did you learn anything and what were the long-term consequences? Did you handle any situations differently?   A good way to assess negative thoughts is to look for words like “should,” “ought,” or “must.” These types of statements are usually negative and critical of yourself. Ask a friend or trusted family member if you are unsure if thoughts are true. Another technique is to interrupt your negative thoughts. Imagine a stop light or noise that stops the thought. Your goals here are to interrupt the negative thought and to remind yourself of your thought patterns. Then, you will experience a...

To understand what it means to walk with God on a spiritual level, consider what it means to literally take a walk with a friend or relative. Ask yourself how you interact with that person. What do you expect from that individual, and how to you speak and behave in return? When you take a walk with someone, the two of you are traveling in one direction. Your steps move at a similar pace so that neither one of you leaves the other behind. You talk with each other and your attention remains on one another. In short, there is an overall sense of harmony, unity, and community between the two of your during your walk. Scriptures contain a few different examples of men and women who followed God, but to understand what it means to walk with God, look specifically for examples using that exact phrase—“walk with God.”  Enoch is the first person man in the Bible said to walk with God, and as such, he is possibly the most common example used to illustrate the concept. According the Scripture, "Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him" (Genesis 5:22–24). The gist of this passage is that Enoch was in close community with God throughout all the years of his life, so much so that God took him away to Paradise at the end of his days. While this passage does not suggest that anyone who walks with God will be taken to Heaven without seeing death, it does imply that walking with God opens up the pathway there.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о том, как ходите с кем-то в физическом плане. Посмотрите на известных людей, которые шли с Богом.


To understand why this algorithm works for finding cube roots, you first need to recall what the cubic expansion looks like for a binomial. You probably learned this in Algebra or Algebra II in high school (and, if you're like most people, probably forgot it soon after). Select two variables A{\displaystyle A} and B{\displaystyle B} to represent single digit numbers. Then create the binomial of (10A+B){\displaystyle (10A+B)} to represent a two digit number. Using the term 10A{\displaystyle 10A} is what creates a two digit number. Whatever digit you select for A{\displaystyle A}, 10A{\displaystyle 10A} will put that digit into the tens column. For example, if A{\displaystyle A} is 2 and B{\displaystyle B} is 6, then (10A+B){\displaystyle (10A+B)} becomes 26. We are working backward here, by creating the cube first, to then see why the solution for cube roots works. We need to find the value of (10A+B)3{\displaystyle (10A+B)^{3}}. You do this by multiplying out (10A+B)∗(10A+B)∗(10A+B){\displaystyle (10A+B)*(10A+B)*(10A+B)}. This is too lengthy to show right here, but the end result is 1000A3+300A2B+30AB2+B3{\displaystyle 1000A^{3}+300A^{2}B+30AB^{2}+B^{3}}. For more about expanding the binomial to get this result, you can see Multiply Binomials. For a more advanced, shortcut version, read Calculate (x+y)^n with Pascal's Triangle. Notice that the method for calculating the cube root works like long division. In long division, you find two factors that multiply together to give the product of the number you begin with. In the calculation here, the number you are solving for (the number that winds up on top of the radical sign) is the cube root. That means that it represents the (10A+B) term. The actual A and B are irrelevant for now, as long as you just recognize the relationship to the answer. When you look at the expanded polynomial, you can see why the cube root algorithm works. Recognize that the divisor of each step of the algorithm is the sum of four terms that you need to calculate and add together. These...

To use an herb as a tea, boil water. Add either 1 teaspoon of loose, dried herb, 1 tablespoon of fresh herb or a tea bag to a cup of boiled water and let it steep for five to ten minutes. Strain if the tea if you used loose herbs and flavor it with honey or lemon if you like. Ask your pharmacist to recommend a reputable brand of supplements; the supplement industry is not regulated, meaning there is no guarantee you are getting the advertised product. Your pharmacist may know which companies are trustworthy. You should also look for verifiable contact information for the company and look for any seals of approval from the Natural Products Association (NPA), Consumer Labs or the US Pharmacopeia (USP). The manufacturer should follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).  Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when taking supplements. You should also inform your doctor of any supplements you're taking. Buy only fresh supplements (check the expiration date). Valerian is a root that has the properties of a mild sedative, helping you fall asleep faster and more easily. Valerian has been used as a sleep aid for thousands of years, although it should not be given to children under 3 years old.  You may want to add honey, cinnamon, cloves, or lemon to valerian tea to improve the flavor. Valerian root may interact with prescription medications like antidepressants and antianxiety medications. Passionflower is used to reduce anxiety and can also lower blood pressure. If you take blood pressure medications, talk to your doctor before supplementing. Passionflower has a light, pleasant taste, but you can flavor it with honey and lemon if you're making a tea.  Do not use passionflower if you're pregnant. It may induce uterine contractions. Since passionflower hasn't been studied in children, talk with a qualified healthcare professional to determine a safe dose to give your child.

To use your Beauty Blender to apply foundation, concealer, blush, highlighter, setting powder, or any face makeup, press the damp sponge into the makeup. Don't dab it too hard, though, or you may wind up picking up too much product.  For makeup products such as foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or concealer, it helps to put some on the back of your hand and dab the sponge into it there. For the best results, don't apply the makeup directly to the Beauty Blender. For makeup products that are in a compact, such as cream blush or highlighter, you can dab the sponge directly into the pan. For loose powder products, such as setting powder, shake some into the lid and dab the sponge into it there. For makeup items that you'll be applying to large areas of the face, such as a foundation or cream blush, dab the rounded bottom of the sponge into the makeup. For makeup that you're concentrating in small areas, such as concealer under the eyes or highlighter along the cheekbones, dab the pointed end of the sponge into the makeup. When you've dabbed some of the makeup onto the sponge, tap the round bottom against your skin to apply the makeup. Don't wipe the sponge across your face, but bounce it to gently stipple or press the makeup into the skin for a flawless finish.  Stipple the sponge over your skin until all of the makeup is evenly blended. It may take a couple of bounces in the same area to fully blend the makeup. You don't have to press the sponge very hard against your skin to blend the makeup. Bounce it gently, and the sponge will do the rest of the work. To apply concealer or foundation under the eyes, around the nose, along the lips, or in another small areas, press the pointed edge of the Beauty Blender against the skin. You'll want to press a little harder than you would with the rounded edge to ensure that the makeup is completely blended into the skin. Because the Beauty Blender sponge is so absorbent, it can easily grow bacteria. You want it to be clean the next time you use it, so try to get in...

To wean the baby gradually choose a feeding that happens during a busy time of the day and replace it with your chosen substitute. Place either pumped breast milk or formula in a bottle or cup to feed the baby.  Do the feeding in a new room in the house. Weaning a baby is both a physical and psychological transition. Doing it in a new room can help the baby ease away from associating a particular atmosphere with food.     Give the baby extra comfort and hugs during the feeding to help the transition go more smoothly. As the baby grows used to the new style of eating, keep replacing another feeding every two or three days. Don't rush the process too much, or the baby may grow confused and the weaning plan could backfire.  Offer the baby milk or formula in a cup or bottle before every feeding, even those you don't plan to fully replace. Getting the baby used to these alternative feeding instruments is an essential transition step.     Shorten the breastfeeding sessions you still have. Continue replacing and shortening feedings over the course of a few weeks until the baby has switched almost entirely to drinking from a bottle or cup, depending on which one you have chosen to provide. For example, many babies breastfeed right before they go to sleep. Start putting the baby to bed without first breastfeeding so that he or she will be able to sleep without this activity.  Replacing breastfeeding with another ritual can help. For example, consider reading a story, playing a game or rocking in the rocking chair before the baby goes to sleep. Don't replace breastfeeding with an object, like a stuffed animal or pacifier. These items will make the weaning process more difficult for the baby.

To win, you need to set goals and achieve them. Write a list of the goal or goals you want to win at. Make them as detailed as possible. Break large, vague goals down into achievable parts. For example, if your goal is to "win at life," break that down into smaller goals, such as "get a job I love" "finish my education" "build meaningful relationships" "feel good about myself." First, break each goal into smaller ones. Breaking your goals down allows you to track your progress. For instance, the goal "feel good about myself" could be broken down into sub-goals such as "build a positive self-image" "exercise" "be well rested" and "work through negative feelings."  Break those goals down again into actionable steps. For instance, "be well rested" can be broken down into "1. Start winding down at 8:30." "2. Be ready for bed by 10 every night." "3. Wake up at 7:30am and get immediately out of bed." Identify the steps that are most difficult. For instance, it may be easy for you to wind down and get into bed at the same time every night, but difficult to pop right out of bed in the morning. Identifying the challenging steps allows you to practice and revise. If getting out of bed immediately is difficult, add helpful steps, such as setting your clothes out beside your bed the night before. Get organized and create an achievement schedule for yourself. Have daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, and yearly goals. Check in regularly to make sure you are achieving them all. If you don't achieve all your goals one week, try again the next. Make sure your goals are actually achievable. You can't win at an impossible game. If a goal can be broken down into actionable steps, it is probably realistic. Make sure your time frame is also realistic. Can everything you want to achieve be achieved in the time you envision? Check your progress as you go, and revise your schedule until the pace of improvement is reasonable.  Try introducing one or two changes to your schedule at a time. If you try to change everything in your...

To write an effective prologue, you need to first consider which prologue type fits with your novel. Often, prologues are written after the novel has been completed or when a novel is in its finishing stages. If you are writing a prologue cold, with no other chapters written, you should still think about how the prologue is going to affect the rest of the book.  Think about how the prologue is going to enhance your novel and feel integral to the story. Will it reveal character, setting, or point of view? Will it provide backstory or frame the rest of the novel in a particular way? If you are writing a prologue for a completed book, you should also think about how the prologue will interact with your first chapter. The prologue should hook your reader in and be just as strong as the details and scenes in your first chapter, if not better. The prologue should not regurgitate details in the first chapter or feel redundant in any way, as this will likely lead to a boring and dry prologue. Often, prologues are set within a scene, especially in action and thriller novels. This gives the prologue a fast pace and helps to engage the reader right away. You should think about which scene or scenes you would like to use in your prologue. This may be based on the character voice you decide to use for the prologue. Use the five senses to make the scene come alive for the reader, with a focus on what the scene smells like, feels like, sounds like, and of course, how it looks. Have your character interact with these elements in the scene and use your character as a way for your reader to access the scene. Most prologues are successful if they are short and to the point. Try to use only one to two scenes in the prologue, as too many scenes can make the prologue feel too long and drawn out. Often, using one powerful scene as the prologue can be very effective and draw the reader in right away. Avoid hopping around in time a lot in your prologue, as this can make the prologue feel confusing or jumpy to the reader. Try to stay...

Toast — white or wheat — goes great with eggs. Its crispness perfectly compliments the naturally soft texture of eggs. Best of all, when you're eating over easy eggs, you can use the toast to soak up the runny yolk. Alternatively, make an egg sandwich with your other favorite breakfast ingredients. Substitute crisp fried hash browns for toast whenever desired. Eggs have a natural mild flavor, which makes them great candidates for spicy condiments. Hot sauces (e.g., Tabasco, etc.) drizzled over a serving of eggs can transform them from a run-of-the-mill dish into something with a little more pizzazz. Just be sure not to use too much. If you're willing to get a little adventurous, you can try seasoning your eggs with ingredients that you won't typically see at your neighborhood diner. The following herbs and spices each give their own unique taste to egg dishes. Try adding a small amount to your eggs at first — if you like the taste, feel free to add more!

Tobacco is one of the main culprits that causes teeth to become yellow or stained. The smoke fills the mouth and chemicals stick to the teeth. Try using a patch or an electric cigarette to avoid staining your teeth with smoke. Coffee and tea both have ingredients that lead to stained teeth. If you drink them every single morning, they're bound to eventually leave their mark. Try cutting back to a single serving or removing them from your diet entirely.  When you do drink coffee or tea, brush your teeth afterward to remove the residue. If you don't have a toothbrush or sink handy every time you drink coffee or tea, drink a glass of water afterward to rinse out your mouth. Rinse your mouth after drinking fruit juice, wine, and other alcoholic beverages as well.. Eating a lot of sugar is tough on your teeth and gums since it leads to the buildup of plaque and eventually cavities and gum disease. All these factors can make teeth look more yellow, so avoid eating candy and drinking soft drinks as often as possible. When you do eat sweets, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth out with water immediately afterward. As we age, our the enamel on our teeth begins to erode; since the layer underneath isn't as bright, our teeth end up looking yellow in hue. Once the enamel is gone, it's difficult to get that youthful brightness back. Whitening your teeth too often can cause them to look bluish, so you can't rely on that as a backup forever. Prevent enamel erosion in the following ways:  Limit acidic foods, such as sour candy. Treat acid reflux promptly.  Don't drink too much alcohol or practice other behaviors that lead to excessive vomiting.

Бросьте курить. Пейте меньше кофе, чая и других темных напитков. Ешьте меньше сладостей. Берегите эмаль.


Tobacco was once thought to make acid reflux symptoms worse. However, three studies so far have shown no improvement after patients quit smoking. There is no evidence that mustard helps with this problem. Doctors do not recommend this treatment.

Today's generation is chock full of people that feel unaccomplished. You could get all existential about your life, but that won't get you anywhere. Instead, put your mind to something and do it. The action of getting something done will show you that you can overcome challenges, and make you feel capable, useful, and worthwhile. It can be anything. Run a 10k. Overcome your shyness. Become a wine connoisseur. Whatever you can see yourself enjoying for a long time will be worth your while. But remember: the harder it is, the bigger the payoff. Losing 5 pounds is great, but losing 10 might make you feel twice as good. This is similar to the previous step. But mastering something, becoming a true expert, will give you a sense of identity, knowledge, and a great feeling of internal satisfaction. Whatever you're good at now, throw yourself into 150%. The payoff will be unimaginable. When you become an expert, you know you're truly good at something. There is no room for doubt, no room for negativity. This can become a haven of positivity, reassurance, and relaxation. And, inevitably, it'll be a part of your everyday life. So if you've been hiding the fact that you play the bagpipes for 8 years now, let 'er out. This is also similar to the last two steps -- in fact, they can all be intertwined. Your resolution could be to become a painter. But back to the point -- creating something is so validating, especially in today's world. We walk through turning on lights with  the flick of a switch, talking to people through screens, and sitting down as we scoot down the highway. Everything is done for us. Create something yourself and you become one of the few who are resourceful, knowledgeable, and tuned in. Once more, it doesn't matter what it is. Sure, a new irrigation system for the Congo would be super great for the world at large, but making a duct tape bag gets you thinking creatively, too.

Today, a good woman is someone who strives toward a balance between independence and helping others. It is hard to help others if you do not feel confident in your own abilities. A good person is someone who doesn’t spread gossip. You can be a better person by rising above drama and turning the conversation to a more positive subject. A good woman will also try to stay positive in her life. Even a good woman needs to complain, but constant complaining is a sign of bigger personal issues that should be dealt with before you can think of other people. Calm and patient people are often seen as “good” because they may be a constant and positive presence during a crisis. You will be less prone to over-reaction and argument if you can be patient with others and yourself. A good woman is often seen as strong because she keeps going during emotional and physical trials. You can build emotional resilience by valuing willpower, confidence and courage. All of these qualities are seen as desirable and positive in a woman; however, no human being is constantly virtuous. Recognize that just having a few of these qualities makes you a good woman and don’t be too hard on yourself if you falter.

Like its name suggests, your wallet is a digital account that makes it fairly easy and convenient to buy, store, and sell your Bitcoin — think of it like a universal Bitcoin checking account. Unlike a checking account, however, starting a Bitcoin wallet usually takes less than a minute, can be done online, and is quite easy. Sites like Coinbase.com, Coinmkt.com, Blockchain.info and Hivewallet.com are are just a few examples of reputable, reliable and user-friendly sites for beginners to create their first wallet. Once you have a wallet, it's time to fill it with Bitcoin. Typically, to do this, you'll need to supply the financial details for a real-world bank account just like you would if you were setting up a PayPal account or signing up for another online payment service. Usually, you'll need at least your bank account number, the routing number for the account, and your full name as it appears on the account. You can almost always find these on your online banking account or on your paper checks.  Note that you may also be asked to provide contact information, like a phone number. To be clear, linking your bank account to your Bitcoin wallet is not any more of a risk to your personal security than it is to shop online. Virtually all reputable Bitcoin services make a point to advertise their high standards for security and encryption. While Bitcoin services have been targeted by hackers in the past, so too have many major online retailers. Once you've supplied your bank information and it's been verified by the Bitcoin service, it should be fairly easy to start purchasing BTC and adding it to your wallet. Usually, on your wallet page, there should be an option labeled "Buy Bitcoin" or something similar — clicking this should take you through a straightforward transaction process that uses money from your bank account to purchase BTC. Note that the price of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Создайте биткойн-кошелек. Прикрепите к кошельку ваш банковский счет. Купите BTC, заплатив за них деньгами с вашего банковского счета. Покупайте за BTC там, где их принимают. Продайте свои BTC другому человеку. Как вариант, можно продать BTC на бирже или в обменнике.


Today, by far the easiest way to listen to a song in reverse is to use a computer (as in the section above.) However, if the song you want to reverse is on a piece of physical media (that is, something you can hold like a CD, cassette, or record), you can still get it to play backwards with a little more work. For instance, if your song is on a CD, most modern computers will give you the option to "rip" the audio from your CD, making each track an audio file on your computer (see Listen to a CD Backwards. Once you've done this, you can use one of the methods above to easily reverse the song. There are many ways to rip the audio from a CD — perhaps the easiest involve using a program like iTunes to do the ripping automatically. It's worth mentioning that if you insert an audio CD into most modern computers, you'll automatically be presented with options for importing the files. Simply click one of these to get started. If you want to play a song backwards on a vinyl record, you'll need to make a few changes to your turntable so that you're able to play the record on its underside. Don't worry — none of these changes are permanent and, as long as you're careful, your turntable shouldn't be damaged in any way. Follow the steps below:  Cut a styrofoam cup in half or grab a roll of duct tape. Place it in the center of your turntable around the spindle. Fix a soda straw to the spindle to extend it. Remove the headshell from the tone arm, then remove the cartridge. Re-attach the cartridge so that it points up away from the platter, then re-attach the headshell. Start the record and let the needle rise up into the groove. You may need to adjust the counterweight for this to work.  This video serves as a good visual guide for how to modify your turntable. It's also possible to play songs backward on a vinyl record with nothing more than your own hands. Simply set the record player to 0 RPM, then carefully grab the edge of the record and turn it backwards (counter-clockwise) while the speakers are on. You should hear...

Today, most computer manufacturers offer some sort of end-of-life disposal service for their products. If you're unable to find someone to take your computer off your hands or your computer is in a non-functional condition, consider contacting the manufacturer for safe disposal options. However, note that not all manufacturers behave equally ethically when disposing of old computers. Some ship computer waste to landfills in the developing world, where it becomes an environmental and health hazard for the local community. Before handing your computer over to your manufacturer, try to research it's ethical record with regards to computer recycling and disposal. Some companies, such as Dell and HP, now offer to recycle your old computer for free when you buy a new one from them. If you have yet to buy your new computer and you're interested in purchasing from the same company as before, consider this option, as it allows you to leave the process of finding a responsible means of disposal to the experts while (possibly) receiving a discount on your new computer. Today, many independent companies exist for the purpose of processing, recycling, and disposing of computer waste. Some are philanthropic organizations, some are non-profits, and some are for-profit. Search for local companies in your area - you may be able to dispose of your computer for free or may need to pay a disposal fee, depending on which types of services are available. However, note that, like computer manufacturers, some e-waste recycling and disposal companies have less-than-stellar business practices. Be a responsible consumer by researching the companies you choose for your disposal needs. Make sure your computer will not end up in a landfill in China before handing it over. Before disposing of your computer, consider whether you have any uses for the case, accessories, or any internal components. For instance, if disposing of several computers of the same model, you might consider using the cases as oversize building blocks for a makeshift...

Today, travel writing is much more than publishing articles in a magazine or in a newspaper. Writers are publishing articles on blogs, online magazines, and other online platforms. Successful travel writers have found a certain niche, or angle, and ran with it, using their unique perspective to keep readers engaged and sell stories to editors. You should familiarize yourself with the market by reading several successful travel writers and bloggers, including:  Travel writer Bill Bryson: Bryson is one of the most successful travel writers in the genre and is well respected in England for his travel book on English life, Notes on a Small Island, as well as his American travel book, The Lost Continent".Bryson is known for his dry and witty writing, and often combines memoir and travel writing in his work.  Travel writer Kate Adie: Adie is a former BBC chief correspondent who covered war zones in the 1980s across the world. She has written an autobiographical book about her travels in dangerous places called The Kindness of Strangers that is popular among travel writers.

Instead of writing a journal, let them to document their experiences with a digital camera. Allow students to use computers and tablets to conduct research. Ask students to build websites, create videos, or develop a podcast. Allow kids to listen to required readings. As educators and parents, you can make learning more fun by capitalizing on children’s love for all things digital.   In addition to lecturing, use digital presentation tools to present your lessons. If you are a teacher, incorporate brief educational videos into your lectures. If you are a parent, use brief educational videos to explain concepts your child is struggling to grasp. Instead of learning a world language, allow your kids to learn how to code. As a teacher and parent, consider supplementing lectures and traditional readings with educational videos, podcasts, and plays. Kids that may appear inattentive during a lecture, may be captivated by audio-visual materials.  Show and listen to materials that are relevant to what the kids are learning. As a reward for completing a great work of literature, take your class or child to see the theatrical adaptation. Educational apps and electronic games have acquired a prominent role in teaching our children basic skills and concepts. When used as a complement to traditional methods of learning, these educational tools can improve children’s classroom performance. Other benefits include:  Improving kids tech skills Portability and availability Exposure to alternative methods of learning Utilizing leisure time

Toe dislocations are a relatively common consequence of foot trauma, whether it's accidental (such as stubbing your toe) or intentional (such as kicking a soccer ball). A dislocated toe is certainly painful and looks misaligned, but it doesn't usually involve a fracture. Realigning the dislocated toe with some sort of manual procedure or adjustment (practiced by medical doctors, podiatrists and chiropractors), is the most appropriate treatment. Pain relief often follows immediately after treatment.  Dislocations don't often spontaneously realign without intervention from a health professional. The longer a joint is dislocated, the greater the chance of permanent ligament and/or tendon damage, so getting treatment soon after injury is important. Once your toe joint is realigned again, it's important to support it with a splint or strong medical tape because the ligaments and tendons that keep the joint straight may be temporarily stretched or weakened. As a consequence, the newly straightened toe may be somewhat unstable for a few days until the connective tissues can strengthen. Consider making your own splint with popsicle sticks and trainer's tape. Shortly after your dislocated toe has been realigned and stabilized, you should strengthen it with specific exercises. Towel curls (using your toes to crumple up or pick up a towel from the floor) and marble pick-ups (picking up marbles from the floor with your toes) work well for strengthening the tendons and muscles of your toes and foot.  Talk to your doctor before beginning a toe exercise routine, especially if you have other medical conditions such as arthritis or diabetes. If these exercises do not work well or are painful to perform, see a physical therapist or podiatrist for more personalized assistance.

Toenail fungus can look like other conditions such as psoriasis. A doctor will run tests and determine what is causing the fungus and the best way to treat it. There are several different treatments for fungal infections. Your doctor will determine which is the best course of action for you. Oral antifungal medication is often the best way to go as it seems to be more effective than topical creams. The medication will allow a new nail to grow fungus free, replacing your old nail. The process could take a few months, sometimes up to four. There are some side effects that come with anti fungal medication, such as skin rash or liver damage. These drugs are not recommended if you have liver damage or congestive heart failure. Coat your nails with the medicated polish once a day for a week. At the end of the week, clean your nails with alcohol and a cotton ball. This medication could take up to a year to be fully effective. After soaking your nails in hot water, apply the topical cream to the afflicted areas. Topical creams work best against a thin nail. Use a nonprescription lotion containing urea on the surface of your nails to thin the nail. This allows the cream to penetrate the inside of your nail easier and will help to fight the fungal infection for effectively. Tea tree oil or coconut oil both contain antifungal properties. Use these readily available home remedies to help fight your fungal infection.

Toilets and bathrooms in general contain a lot of bacteria. Before cleaning your toilet tank, put on a pair of gloves. Rubber gloves will help protect you from bacteria and germs. If you're cleaning with bleach, gloves are vital to protect your skin. Leave your cleaner in the tank for a set amount of time. Most cleaners should be left on for 10 to 15 minutes. However, it's always a good idea to check the specific directions on your cleaner. Remember, vinegar should stay on for 12 hours before you proceed to clean the tank. Use a scrub brush, old toothbrush, or scrubby sponge to scrub the cleaner into your tank. Scrub down the sides and bottom of the tank until the toilet bowl smells fresh and you remove any obvious signs of dirt and built up grime. Clean the working parts of the tank as well, like the ball float and flapper. Once you've scrubbed the tank down, you can turn the water back on and flush the tank to rinse. If you've used bleach, add 1 gallon (3.8 L) of plain, cold water to the tank and then flush it. You may want to wear goggles to protect your eyes when adding water to a tank that had bleach in it.

Tokyo is considered the main hub and metropolis in Japan. Visit traditional tea houses, noodle shops, and hostess bars for a culinary experience. Go to the major shopping centers in Tokyo to find one-of-a-kind fashion, toys, and souvenirs.  Break up your tour of Tokyo by area, such as Asakusa in the Northeast, the Tsukiji Fish Market in Central Tokyo, the temples and shrines in the West, and Roppongi in the East for shopping and museums. Spend a few days exploring each area, using public transit or a car to visit each section of the city. Other great shopping places in Tokyo include Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku. Japan has a stretch of mountains in Central Honshu full of fresh powder for skiing or boarding. It also has stunning views and hot springs. Visit this area for something a bit different, especially if you are an avid winter sports person. You can also stay in a mountain resort in this area and do a winter hike. Go to the site of the atomic bombing during WWII to learn more about the tragic event. There is a museum with detailed information about the bombing and tributes to the victims of the attack.  Take a bullet train or plane from Tokyo to Hiroshima; both options take roughly 1.5 hours. For a cheaper option, take an overnight, 13-hour bus ride from Tokyo to Hiroshima. Kyoto is a popular major city that is considered the home of traditional Japan. It contains beautiful gardens and palaces dating back to the Imperial Court, as well as traditional shrines and temples. Plan on staying in Kyoto for at least one night. If you want to see Tokyo too, you can take a bullet train between the cities. It'll take about 2.5 hours to travel from city to city in this way.

Tomato juice can help cleanse your hair and balance its pH, which will help neutralize the chemical odor. You can use any tomato juice that you can find at your local grocery store, or you can manually squeeze the juice from the tomatoes at home. If you have blonde hair, be sure to buy canned diced tomatoes since the tomato juice may alter the color of your hair.  While in the shower, use enough tomato juice to cover your hair. Massage it into your hair and scalp with your fingertips. Leave it in for 10-20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. Follow-up by washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo and conditioner.  Rinse your hair again and let it dry.  Tomato juice can be applied to your hair twice a week, but be aware that it can lighten your hair over time.  Tomatoes are also an excellent source of vitamin A, which will help make your hair stronger and healthier. Like tomato juice, baking soda can help neutralize and absorb any odors lingering in your locks.

Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water; the amount of baking soda you use will depend on the length and thickness of your hair. Place the mixture on your wet hair and secure it beneath a shower cap. Leave the mixture on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing. The acidity of lemon juice can help lift the chemical smell from of your hair after a perm. Using a lemon juice rinse won’t stain your hair, so it is a particularly helpful rinse if you have light or blonde hair.  Use fresh lemons and squeeze about 3 cups of lemon juice, or enough to cover your hair. Apply the juice and massage it into your hair and scalp for 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse your hair with water. Wash with a clarifying shampoo and conditioner.  You can repeat this process a for few days in a row if the smell is still present.

Tomato soup is a delicious and comforting meal when you're sick, when it’s cold out, or when you just feel like a warm bowl of something homemade. Peeled tomatoes are ideal for soup, because they’ll produce a smooth and creamy soup. You can enjoy tomato soup by itself, with a side of salad, with a sandwich, or as a starter for your favorite meals. Additionally, you can can tomato soup and enjoy it later if you don't have a taste for it right now. Stewed tomatoes can be enjoyed on their own, added to other dishes, eaten on breads and crackers, or even transformed into chili or pasta sauce.  Stewing tomatoes is quite simple, and the trick is dicing the tomatoes and cooking them over low heat for an extended period of time. Stewing is also a great way to preserve fresh tomatoes from the garden for the fall and winter months. Tomato sauce is a household staple that you can use to make anything from pizza to pasta to soups and more. While tomato sauce is readily available, you can also make your own fresh sauce with peeled tomatoes. The best part about homemade tomato sauce is that you can customize it any way you like, such as by adding:  Aromatics like garlic and onion Herbs and spices Different vegetables Cheese

Tomato soup is a warm, comforting, and delicious way to use overripe tomatoes. Making tomato soup is quite simple, and all you have to do is cook or roast some peeled tomatoes with aromatics like onions, add spices and broth, and blend until smooth.  For a creamy tomato soup, add ⅓ cup (78 ml) of heavy cream and 1½ cups (353 ml) of broth per 28 ounces (794 g) of tomatoes. For aromatics, add an onion, two cloves of garlic, and salt and pepper.

Tomatoes are rich sources of vitamins A, C, and folic acid. They contain a wide array of antioxidants, lycopene, choline, beta-carotene, and lutein. Tomatoes have the added advantage of complimenting pretty much any meal. Eat them whole, slice them up, dice them into small cubes, or puree them and add them to your favorite soup. A single tomato normally only costs around 22 calories, but as a superfood — replete with so many things your body needs — they can be a filling food. Meats have gotten a bad rap in the health community in the last decade or so. This is probably a result of the “skinny” craze. Many registered dietitians now tell their clients to eat a protein-rich diet because protein is far more filling than most other foods. Studies have even shown that eating a protein-rich diet can reduce cravings by 60%. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are extremely high in fiber. Beans and lentils also contain a lot of fiber. Eat a cup of fiber-rich yogurt in the morning to add a quick boost of fiber to your diet. Just make sure that the yogurt you choose isn’t made with a lot of unhealthy sugars and dyes.  Raspberries are also a great source of fiber. Additionally, they can lower cholesterol. One cup of raspberries has 8 grams of fiber. Doctors recommend that women consume around 25 grams of fiber per day and that men consume about 38 grams. In particular, fiber-rich foods help fill you up, without filling you out. They have the same weight as other foods, but don’t cost as many calories. If you are used to eating a big breakfast every morning, try changing out that bowl of sugary cereal for a yogurt. See if you are equally full afterwards. If you can handle the heat, studies have shown that the capsaicin in chili peppers can reduce appetite and increase fat burning. Add some chilis to your pastas, sandwiches, and salads. They can give any meal a little boost of flavor. Contrary to popular opinion, eating a low-fat diet is not the key to losing weight. The “low-fat” food craze...

Tomatoes lose some of their acidity as they ripen, so avoid tomatoes that appear to be less that fully ripe. Two good ways to check the ripeness of a tomato is to feel the weight and gently squeeze the tomato. Choose heavier tomatoes and softer tomatoes.  Heavier means more juice, which means more ripe. Tomatoes that are soft but not mushy are more ripe than hard tomatoes. You can also learn the smell of a ripe tomato versus the smell of an unripe tomato. The process of canning tomatoes ends up increasing the acidity, so you can reduce acid in your dishes by only cooking with fresh tomatoes. You’ll have to buy fresh tomatoes more frequently than canned ones as they will not last as long. Tomatoes come in red, green, yellow, orange, and combinations of these, and in most cases non-red varieties of tomatoes are said to be lower in acidity. The next time you make your favorite tomato dish, try out some non-red tomatoes and see if you notice a difference in the acidity.  This is not a hard and fast rule as there are red varieties that are low-acid and non-red varieties that are high-acid. Some varieties to keep an eye out for are Yellow pear, a tomato similar to cherry varieties, Georgia Streak, a yellow heirloom variety, and Big Rainbow, a golden-red tomato.

TL;DR in Russian:

Берите самые сочные помидоры. Используйте в готовке свежие помидоры. Не берите красные помидоры.


Tomatoes should always be washed under the faucet prior to dicing. Make sure to remove any dirt and debris. Peel off any stickers as well. A small spoon or a teaspoon can be used to remove the core of your tomato. Simply insert the tip of the spoon into the tomato's stem. Dig out the stem using the spoon and then discard it. Hold the tomato with one hand and slice through it using a sharp knife. Start at the bottom of the tomato and cut it in two roughly even halves along the equator. Place each half of the tomato on a cutting board with the flat part facing downward. Make a series of vertical cuts length-wise to make a series of thin strips. Strips should be no more than about a centimeter in length and should be roughly even in size. As you cut, use your fingers to hold the tomato in place. Turn the strips sideways. Make vertical cuts across the strips, cutting the tomato into small, diced cubes. Strive to keep the space between cuts roughly even and use your fingers to hold the strips in place as you cut. When you're done, you will have a pile of diced tomatoes.

Toner helps to brighten the skin and restore its balance. You can use a store-bought toner, but many products you probably have on hand at home work just as well. Try one of the following homemade toners:  1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar mixed with 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon witch hazel mixed with 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon rosewater mixed with 1 tablespoon water The final step is to apply moisturizer that suits your skin type. Moisturizer will keep your skin from drying out, preserving the results of your facial. Look for a facial moisturizer that doesn't contain alcohol, since this can cause your skin to dry out more quickly.  If you want to use a homemade, all-natural moisturizer, try argan oil, almond oil or jojoba oil. Aloe is another great natural moisturizer that has healing properties as well. It's especially useful if you're recovering from a sunburn. Wait a little while before you start your regular makeup routine to give your facial skin the chance to rest and reap the full benefits of your facial. Makeup normally contains alcohol and a wide range of chemicals, and applying it right after exfoliating your face and cleaning your pores could cause irritation.
