As the creator, you'll become so familiar with the terms that they seem second nature. Other people only have a few sentences of instruction to work with. Whenever you add a new command or object, especially one that's vital to move forward in the game, make sure you keep it obvious and simple to use.  Always use valid object names in the room description. For example, if a player walks into the room and sees a description of "a painting," make sure "painting" is the term for that object in your game. If you carelessly use the term "picture" instead, players will have to guess at how to interact with it.  Allow synonyms for verbs. Take some time to think about how a player might try to use objects. A button should respond to both "push button" and "press button." An enemy should give the option to "attack," "punch," and "hit," plus "use (any item that could be treated as a weapon) on (enemy)." Don't let your carefully devised puzzle break the reader's immersion in the setting. You might feel terribly clever for creating a puzzle that involves a Viking helmet, a stick of dynamite, and a bee hive, but it's unreasonable to discover these items in a spaceship or a high school classroom. Your setting will feel less cohesive, and the items may as well have a neon sign flashing "use me for a puzzle."  Giving puzzles more than one solution makes them feel much more realistic, as does allowing a single item to be used in multiple puzzles or in multiple ways. Make the puzzles feel relevant. There should be a reason your character needs to solve the puzzle.  Avoid artificial puzzles such as towers of Hanoi, mazes, and logic puzzles. Old-school adventure games are famous for cruel results such as "You pick up the rock, starting an avalanche that buries you. Game over." Nowadays, players want their skill to be rewarded. Besides avoiding arbitrary player deaths, here are a few other design goals to keep in mind:  Don't make important events hinge on a die roll. For the most part, if a player has figured out what to do, he...

TL;DR in Russian:

Глаголы и существительные должны быть очевидными. Сделайте головоломки реалистичными. Будьте честны с игроками. Добавьте концовки. Ищите советы и вдохновение. Бета-тест. Выход игры.


As the day of your flight draws near, it may be helpful to conduct a “walk-through” of the process to come — the sights, the sounds, the experience of getting onto a plane and flying.  For younger children who have not flown before in particular, the uncertainty about what to expect can often be a major source of flight anxiety. Try to describe as many details as possible about lining up, showing your boarding pass, finding your seat on the plane, etc.  Talk about the sound of the idling plane, the feel of picking up speed on the runway, and that moment when the wheels cease contact with the ground.  Be thorough and imaginative, and break up the process into simple, manageable pieces. If you are anxious about flying, or are anxious about how your child is going to react to flying, he or she will pick up on your discomfort.  Don’t just try to “put on a brave face” for your child, though — addressing your own anxiety ahead of time will make you more capable of handling your kid’s stress about flying.  Ideally, your method for dealing with your own anxiety will leave you lucid, alert, calm, and ready to be present and helpful for your child.  Medication, therefore, may not be your best first option.  See How to Overcome a Fear of Flying as a good starting point for reducing your own anxiety so that you can help reduce your child’s. Anxiety-reduction and stress relief strategies that work for you can also work for your child.  Exercise is often an effective method, so a brisk walk around the airport may help.  Children can also quickly pick up on deep breathing exercises (slowly and deeply inhaling, holding for a moment, and releasing slowly).  Meditation or mindfulness exercises may take a bit more work with some kids, but can also be quite effective.  And, a good night's sleep the night before and a healthy meal the day of the flight always helps. Whether it is flying or some other anxiety-producing activity, familiar comforts can ease the fears caused by unfamiliar circumstances, and plain old distractions can...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пройдитесь с ребенком по всем этапам перелета. Преодолейте свой собственный страх. Возьмите с собой вещи, которые будут отвлекать ребенка и успокаивать его. Скажите бортпроводникам о страхе ребенка.


As the host, you should probably provide something for your guests to eat. However, you don’t need to prepare a gourmet meal. Ordering a sheet pizza or putting out chips and pretzels is fine too. Your guests will probably be more interested in socializing than doing anything else. Make sure that you have something for everyone. For example, if you have a friend who is a vegan or vegetarian, then try to avoid having nothing but all meat and cheese snacks. You might have some friends who love to cook and others who don’t know how to boil water. Ask friends to bring something, but let them choose. You might just say what you think you might need to give them some guidelines. For example, you could ask someone to bring something salty and crunchy or ask another friend to bring some cocktail mixers. Providing alcohol for your guests can be expensive and your guests will not expect you to foot the bill for their drinks, so it is usually best to tell everyone to bring their own drinks.  If you are just having a small get-together, then you might decide to treat your friends to a case of beer or a large bottle of vodka with mixers. If you are having lots of people over, then you should either require everyone to chip in for a keg or make it a BYOB event. There’s always the chance that more people will show up than you had expected and you may have to replenish your food and drink halfway through the party. Make sure that you have a plan in case this happens. For example, you might put the number of a local pizza place on speed dial, enlist a sober friend to make a beer run, or just stash extra supplies in your bedroom in case the food and drinks go faster than you expected.

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, какие блюда вы собираетесь предложить гостям на вечеринке. Попросите друзей принести с собой что-нибудь. Решите, будет ли это алкогольная вечеринка. Заранее придумайте запасной план насчет напитков и закусок, потому что всегда есть вероятность того, что придет больше людей, чем вы планировали, тогда закуски и напитки могут закончиться прямо в разгар вечеринки.


As the job market becomes increasingly competitive, the hiring process is becoming more complex. More and more companies are turning to psychological (or personality) assessments to determine whether someone is the right fit for the job. Do some serious thinking about the qualifications that are necessary for the particular job that requires the test.  For example, if you are seeking a job as an executive or upper-management, the interviewers will want to make sure that you have strong leadership skills and are an excellent communicator. If you are applying for a job such as a police officer, candidates will be expected to exhibit an ability to deal with high levels of stress and think on their feet. Psychological exams are essentially an assessment of your personality. Think about why you are applying for this job. It is probably because you feel that you are qualified and have the right disposition for this particular career.  For example, if you are applying for a sales job, you know that a portion of your income will be generated by commission. Therefore, you need to be highly motivated. Does that sound like you? Reflect on your personality traits before the test. This will help you be prepared to formulate answers that fit the role. It's important that you be yourself when answering questions. But you should also remember that you are being evaluated. For example, if you were asked, "If you knew you would not get caught, would you steal from the company?", you should answer "No." Even if you know that you might consider stealing, that is not something you would want to say during an interview. During the interview process, you need to not only highlight your strengths, but you need to convey how you can specifically benefit your future employer. Think about what you can do to improve the productivity of the company. If you are conscious of the company's needs, this will likely be reflected in your personality test. Before your test, feel free to ask the recruiter or HR representative what characteristics...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ознакомьтесь с требованиями к соискателю. Проанализируйте свои личностные характеристики. Узнайте, что нужно компании. Пройдите тренировочный тест.


As the name suggests, antiperspirants are meant to avoid sweating (perspiring). Antiperspirants are widely available, and most deodorants sold today contain an antiperspirant.  Typically, these products come in different strengths. It is best to start with the lowest strength product. If that doesn’t solve your sweating problem, then try the next strength level.  Antiperspirants work by creating a  coagulant that clogs the pores. The antiperspirant solution will be diluted if you sweat shortly after using it. At night, you are moving around less, and less likely to sweat. This will help your skin from becoming irritated, and will also help the antiperspirant to work better (since it works best if it does not become diluted). It may take time for the antiperspirant to clog the pores. If the product is not working after only a few days, don’t worry, the product may just need a few more days. In addition to an antiperspirant, you can also apply a deodorant. When sweat interacts with bacteria on the skin, it becomes odorous. Deodorant kills the bacteria to prevent this odor. Fragrance is commonly added to mask any smell that might occur. Sometimes antiperspirants may also include a deodorant and vice versa. Read the label of your current antiperspirant or deodorant carefully to check.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните пользоваться антиперспирантом. Используйте антиперспирант вечером перед отходом ко сну. Убедитесь в том, что ваша кожа полностью сухая, прежде чем наносить на нее антиперспирант. Опробуйте новое средство минимум в течение 10 дней, чтобы оно начало действовать. Пользуйтесь дезодорантом, чтобы избежать неприятного запаха.


As the name suggests, tapeworms are long flat worms. They can reach up to 60cm in length, and are a creamy-white color with flat segments along their length.  The tapeworms attach firmly to the lining of the bowel wall, so it is unusual to see an adult worm unless the cat has had a worming treatment. It's much more common to see tapeworm egg packets on the cat's fur, especially near the anus. When a tapeworm reproduces it fills special segments, called proglottids, which contain thousands of tiny eggs.  The adult tapeworms shed these egg packets into the bowel lumen where they migrate out of the cat's anus. The proglottids are about the size of a grain of rice and a similar shape. If you see a white rice-like object on the cat's fur then it is highly likely he has tapeworms. If in doubt, stick the egg packet to a piece of sellotape (tear of a 6 inch length of sticky tape, and touch the adhesive side to the object, then stick the tape to a piece of card) to show to your veterinarian. There are two types of tapeworm that commonly infect the cat, and these tapeworms have different intermediate hosts. Dipylidium caninum (the most common cat tapeworm) uses fleas as its go-between.  Cats with fleas are likely to develop tapeworm as immature fleas feed on tapeworm eggs in cat feces. The tapeworm hatches and develops inside the flea (the intermediate host), and when the cat grooms and swallows the flea, her digestive juices crack open the fleas body and release the larval form of the tapeworms. Thus, regular flea control is essential to prevent and control tapeworm in the cat. The second most common tapeworm, Taenia taeniaeformis, develops its larval stage inside rodents such as rats and mice. Therefore, hunting cats are more likely to be infected with this type of tapeworm.  Rodents infect themselves with the larval form of tapeworm when they eat plants contaminated by cat feces containing tapeworm eggs. The tapeworm burrows into the rodents muscles and when the cat hunts and eats the infected rodent, it will infect...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, что из себя представляют ленточные черви. Найдите на шерсти кота белые объекты, напоминающие рис. Отнесите образец на проверку к ветеринару. Если у кота есть блохи, вероятность наличия глистов увеличивается. Учтите, что коты, которые охотятся на мышей, чаще заражаются ленточными червями.


As the oral glucose test lasts an hour after you have consumed a glucose solution, it is recommended you make an appointment to reduce the time you wait in line before the clock starts ticking (see next steps).  Call a few days ahead when you want to take your test and make the appointment. Then, fast the night before your appointment. Be sure to use a laboratory that is the primary provider for your health insurance. This type of glucose test is used to understand how your body processes glucose.  This test requires you to fast, usually 10–16 hours before the test is given. Eat normally several days before the oral glucose test, then fast the night before. The only thing that you can consume during the fast is water.  Please note that if you take medications, ask your doctor if the medicine will affect the test results. Oral glucose test will take a few hours to complete. Thus, you may want to bring along a book or play a game or watch a movie on your smartphone, laptop, or tablet. Also remember to bring the form you received from your doctor to your appointment so the laboratory personnel knows which test to perform. The first blood sample is collected when you arrive to give a baseline reading (before sugar is added into the bloodstream). The laboratory technician will perform a venipuncture to draw your blood. After your first blood sample is taken, you will be asked to drink 8-ounce glucose solution. The solution resembles a soda drink with a higher sugar content (about 75 grams). After you drink the solution, you need to sit and wait. Relax by reading a book or watching a movie on your smartphone. Your blood will be drawn three to four times after the glucose solution is absorbed into the bloodstream. This will give your doctor a better picture of how your body processes the glucose in the drink.  The first venipuncture is done 30 minutes after you consume the solution. The remaining two or three tests are done one and two hours, and sometimes even three hours after you consumed the solution. Each test...

As the philosopher Derrida once said: “Forgiveness is often confounded, sometimes in a calculated fashion, with related themes: excuse, regret, amnesty, prescription, etc.” .  Forgiveness is a two-way street. You may not be able to forgive yourself unless you learn to forgive others. You may need to let others into your life to help give you the support and structure to forgive yourself. Talk to loved ones to support yourself while you grapple with self-forgiveness. To forgive yourself, you must be aware of what you need to forgive. Writing out a detailed step-by-step guide may help you focus on what is important and give you the structure for an apology to yourself or others.  Take into consideration the following aspects of creating a solution to ask forgiveness:  Declare or ask for the apology using direct language. Do not step around the issue. Say “I’m sorry” or ask “Do you forgive me?” directly. You do not want to be ambiguous or come across as insincere. Investigate how you can actually fix a solution. If you are asking forgiveness from another, figure out specific actions that can help make amends. If you are forgiving yourself, ask yourself what steps you need to take to move forward with a healthier outlook on life. Promise yourself and others that you will strive to be better in the future. An apology is empty if you will not follow through with it. Make sure you do not repeat the same mistakes. If you ask for forgiveness for others, you will feel better about yourself. Sometimes, clearing the air can help to resolve an existing issue.  It may also help to show that you were internalizing a bigger issue than was actually present.  Asking for forgiveness has been proven to bring more favorable outcomes and provide stronger relationships

TL;DR in Russian:

Впускайте людей в свою жизнь. Наметьте решение или план действий. Попросите прощения у других.


As the saying goes, “The best defense is a good offense.” If you think you can pull it off, one way to avoid being teased is to stop it before it starts. If you always get teased by a certain person in 4th period, for example, try addressing them right when you sit down. In a casual, joking tone, say something like, “Oh, right – it's 2:00. It must be time to talk about my hair again.” The trick is to make your tormenter look like they are being boring and predictable.  If you can get the other person's friends to laugh with you, you can deflect their teasing onto the bully instead. People who pick on others a lot usually run in groups where they all tease each other, too. The last thing a bully wants is to be embarrassed in front of his friends. If you feel confident you can handle a more aggressive tactic, you can try to take back control of the conversation. You may be able to calm them down if you can figure out their underlying motive for harassing you. Also, if you can figure out why they are bullying you, you may be able to find another way to work things out that doesn't involve fighting.  Every time the bully asks a question, reply by asking her to explain herself. (“Why do you believe that?” or “What makes you think I did that?”) Be careful not to lose your temper or come across as sarcastic, as this will only make them angrier. You immediately lose the moral high ground if you are caught teasing other people, even if you are teasing the friends who are the worst at teasing you. If you start to tease them, they will just think it's part of the game. Some kids actually enjoy teasing and don't mind giving it or getting it – these are usually tough girls with four older brothers. The minute you start making fun of other people, you become fair game. Defend yourself, but don't be cruel. If the situation gets too bad, and you can't find a way to get it under control, you may need to talk to a parent or teacher. They may be able to find a way to deal with the situation without anyone knowing it was you who...

TL;DR in Russian:

Займите наступательную позицию. Контролируйте ситуацию. Никогда не смейтесь над другими людьми. Расскажите взрослому человеку о сложившейся ситуации.


As the term suggests, spiritual warfare occurs primarily in the spiritual realm. It may have repercussions in the physical realm, but if you don't address a problem at its spiritual root, you won't be able to combat it effectively.  In Ephesians 6:12, the Apostle Paul explains, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." This verse defines spiritual warfare as warfare against powers that are not “of the flesh,” meaning powers that are not physical or tangible in nature. Since the spiritual and physical realms are connected, things that happen in the physical realm can have spiritual consequences and vice versa. Obedience to God in your earthly life, for instance, strengthens your spirit. Violating God's law in your earthly life will also weaken your spirit. As James 4:7 says, "Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." You have to first submit to God in order to resist the devil. Only by God's power can you hope to win against the enemy. Relying on God's power requires you to accept the salvation offered to you by Christ. You must also understand that each victory belongs to God.  When you rebuke the devil, you must do so in Jesus' name while relying on God's authority over evil. Even the archangel Michael says "The Lord rebuke you" when fighting with the devil over the body of Moses (Jude 9). If even angels must rely on the name of God to rebuke evil, it is little wonder that the Christian must rely on the name and power of Christ to do so.  It is also important to understand that the name of Christ alone does not do the work. It is your relationship with Christ as a Christian that you must lean on. Acts 19:13-16 describes the story of the seven sons of Sceva, who used the name of Jesus to drive out evil spirits without having a solid relationship with Christ. One day, an evil spirit fought back and overpowered them because...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сфокусируйте свое внимание на духовном мире. Положитесь на власть божью. Отвергните любую гордыню. Демонстрируйте послушание и самоконтроль. Сохраняйте бдительность.


As the training gets more complicated, your bird may have trouble figuring out why you are giving it a treat. Try using a "clicker," or make a distinct, short sound by tapping a pen, each time the bird displays good behavior. This gets the bird's attention while you fetch a treat. Once the bird is well trained, you can use just the sound of the clicker or pen as a reward, but until then the treat is still a vital part of the training. A clicker or other distinct sound is recommended over a verbal command, because it sounds the same each time and is unlikely to be encountered outside of training. Clicker training remains an excellent tool for training pets. Whenever you start teaching the cockatiel a new command, use a clicker or make a distinctive noise by tapping a pen at the moment it shows good behavior. Fetch a treat immediately afterward, and continue daily training until the cockatiel will respond to the command with just the clicker as a reward. If the cockatiel is comfortable outside its cage, put it on a white or beige towel on floor each day during its training session. Gradually bring up the corners of the towel, but stop if the bird struggles. Repeat the process each day, rewarding the bird when it stays calm, until you can fully enclose the cockatiel in the towel. This training will make it much easier to bring your cockatiel to the vet, or remove it from a dangerous situation. Repeat a phrase a few times, with an animated facial expression and tone, at a time when the cockatiel is relaxed and happy. If the cockatiel looks at you and demonstrates a reaction, such as cocking its head or dilating its pupils, it may be interested in that word. Repeat that word frequently, but stop if the cockatiel gets bored. When it attempts to mimic you, reward it with a treat.  Male cockatiels can make more sounds than females, since they use more complex calls to attract mates. Female cockatiels can still talk, but the voice may not be as clear. Most cockatiels can talk around eight months of age, although you...

Подумайте о дрессировке с применением кликера. Продолжите применять кликер для изучения дополнительных трюков. Приучите кореллу спокойно относиться к заворачиванию в полотенце. Научите кореллу говорить. Побуждайте птицу издавать свист и танцевать.


As they say, you'll never know unless you try. When you meet a woman who you find interesting and attractive, don't be afraid to ask her for a date. Don't assume she is out of your league or wait for her to make the first move. What's the worst that can happen? She says no and you move on to someone else. Just be direct and honest in your proposition. Based on your previous conversation, you can either choose to ask in a sincere manner: "Hey, you seem like a really interesting person. Would you maybe want to grab a drink later on in the week?" or in a romantic tone: "I gotta say, when I saw you from across the room, my eyes lit up. And when we started talking, they lit up even more. Would you want to meet up later for a drink?" Drinks are fine for a first date, and asking her on a quick outing will place less pressure on the situation. You definitely don't want to sit through a seven-course meal with someone you’ve only just met, especially if it's obvious the chemistry isn't there by the time the entrees appear. Choose a familiar setting for maximum comfort, and a place that’s convenient for both of you to get to. Because you probably know little about the person, you should casually search for common ground. Remember to be your own person. Don't pretend you love a certain food or that you know everything about a movie you've never seen just to impress your date.  Ask open-ended questions about your date. For example, "So, what got you interested in rock-climbing?" is a more effective question than "So, you're interested in rock-climbing?" Discuss your immediate surroundings. Don't be so cliche as to talk about the weather, but instead discuss whatever it is you both happen to be doing. If you're playing a sport, for example, you can say something like, "Wow, you're really good. I'll know where to come in the future if I want my butt kicked. Do you play here often?" Relate to your date's responses. If she mentions an activity she really likes, for example, and you can relate, don't be afraid to share your...

As time passes after your initial dye application, you'll notice that the dye in your hair will get washed away by your showers. To keep the color vibrant for as long as possible, you'll want to choose an appropriate conditioner.  It's the water, not the conditioner, that washes the dye from your hair when you shower. However, color-safe conditioners seal hair cuticles, allowing your hair to hold onto the dye for a longer period of time.  Look for packaging that advertises products as “color safe,” “color extend,” “color care,” or “sulfate-free.” Color-depositing conditioners actually deposits a small amount of color each time it's applied in the shower, not only maintaining the richness of the original color, but also hiding the roots that emerge as your hair grows out for a period of time. Make sure to choose a shade of color-depositing conditioner that matches your dyed color. If your hair is oily, then adding moisture back into your strands after shampooing isn't really your concern. However, if skipping conditioner altogether makes you uncomfortable, stay away from products advertised as “hydrating” or “moisturizing,” as they will only make your hair greasier and flatter. Look for products styled as “volumizing,” “light,” “strengthening,” or “balancing.” If your hair isn't severely brittle or damaged, but feels a little on the dry side, switch to a product that advertises as “hydrating,” “moisturizing,” “balancing,” or, if you have wavy or curly hair, “curly.” For this kind of hair, you'll need to use more intensive formulas. Hair often becomes “damaged” and dried out by prolonged exposure to heat from regular styling, but heat damage is not the only reason for extremely dry hair. Your hair may be unhealthily dry simply your scalp has trouble producing enough oil to distribute throughout the strands. Either way, conditioners that advertise themselves as treatments for “damaged” hair will be effective on hair that's dry both because of heat exposure and natural causes.  In addition to your daily...

As unfair as it may seem, part of what depends on whether your parents give permission is the mood you're in when they ask. If they're already upset about something before you approach, it's almost guaranteed that they will say no. This is because they do not want to deal with any added stress. One thing you might do is see what you can do to help your parents out before asking. That way, they'll be in a better mood, and you'll have proven yourself deserving in their eyes. Asking your parents can be stressful depending on the kind of relationship you have with them, but it needs to be done calmly. Above all else, you need to say it in a way that isn't going to make it sound like a negative interaction. If you go into it with a pessimistic mindset, it's all the more likely your parents will deny you.  It can be good to offer a few details before asking the question. This can help avoid a quick "no." Say something like this: "My friend is having her birthday tomorrow, and wanted to have a pizza sleepover to celebrate. Would it be okay if I went over there and spent the night tomorrow?" Sitting down next to them while you ask can be a helpful trick, as it will make them feel less rushed in their decision. If possible, it's a good idea to ask the question a couple of days in advance. Parents are usually more likely to react positively to a request in advance, rather than a last-minute plan. If parents are feeling nervous about letting their child out for the evening, giving them all the details will put them at ease. Giving them a run-down of the plans and things they may want to know will be a great help. Being honest and upfront about it will give you the highest chance of getting their permission. Here are some things you should tell them:  Where you'll be staying. Whether you're planning on leaving your friend's house at some point in the evening. What kind of parental supervision is expected. This is a big one. Whether anyone else will be the home. That includes siblings of your friend or other relatives....

Если вы уже находитесь у друга, спросите разрешения родителей остаться у него. Назначьте время, когда вас будет необходимо подвезти к дому друга и забрать оттуда.


As we age, our mental abilities will decline whether or not we try to maintain a sharp mind: it's just a fact of life. It is important to surround yourself with people you trust so that as you age, you can trust them to make important decisions for you should the need arise. As people age, they are more likely to remember events that did not actually occur. Having a younger person that you have known for a long time, like a grown child, can help you supplement your memory if you need to recall an event from years past. Before you need one, decide who will serve as your guardian when and if your mental abilities decline. You should hire a lawyer to file appropriate documentation when the time comes.  If you do not assign a guardian, the courts will usually appoint your nearest relative, which could be a brother, sister, spouse, or child. If you have troubled relationships with anyone near you (which is very common), it makes sense to appoint your own so that this important decision is not left up to the court. Write a will indicating your final wishes for your property and end of life care. If you should lose mental functioning, your will ensures that no one makes decisions that go against what you hoped for your future and keeps you in control. You can make big decisions about your future health and care now and put them in writing so that you're your guardian will have to keep your preferences in mind. Your lawyer will help you navigate the process, but will most likely recommend an Advance Directive, which includes a Living Will, Power of Attorney or Proxy (generally, but not necessarily, your guardian), and your preferences for resuscitation and intubation (such as a Do Not Resuscitate order). If you think you might be experiencing a neurological condition such as Alzheimer's or dementia, reach out to those you love and ask for help. There are treatment plans and healthcare options for you to help you if you are battling these conditions.  Symptoms of Alzheimer's can start at any time, but before age 65 it...

As we go through life, we will meet a variety of people and will build complicated, personal relationships with them. There are various types of relationships such as friend, work, romantic, and family relationships. It is important to remember that relationships are as individual and different as the people who are a part of them. There are different expectations in every relationship. Sometimes, these expectations are made clear by talking about them, but other times they are just unspoken rules that develop as people spend time together. Friendships are platonic, meaning there is no sexual interest involved. These relationships fulfill our needs as humans to be around other people who we feel are similar to us and feel valued, secure, and appreciated for who we are.  Some relationships are casual "acquaintances," and include people you might pass in the halls and smile at or say, "Hello." Acquaintances help you feel connected to the outside world, but they're generally people you wouldn’t call up to hang out. The only expectation you have of your casual acquaintances is politeness. Other relationships are casual friends. You may have met by chance (for instance, because you are in the same class) and you may interact on a regular basis based on your shared interest or common schedule. You may chat with these people about surface-level topics, but you probably don't know much about them as individuals. More intimate friends are the people you trust and choose to be with when you have a choice. These are the people that you feel that you can be yourself around, and you don't have to worry about impressing them. Intimate friendships can require a lot of work to maintain, because you owe each other attention and time as part of your friendship. Best friends are those intimate friends who have proven to be faithful, loyal, and trustworthy; these are often relationships that have stood the test of time. Best friends feel as if they know each other inside out. Not everybody has or needs best friends, and that's...

TL;DR in Russian:

Важно понимать, что разные люди вкладывают в понятие «отношения» разный смысл. Узнайте больше о разных типах дружбы. Поймите, что верные друзья необходимы каждому. Поймите, что в романтических отношениях могут быть свои сложности. Профессиональные отношения. Знайте, что представляют из себя романтические отношения. В любых отношениях стремитесь к качественному общению.


As well as making improvements to your general lifestyle and cutting back on your commitments to secure some time for yourself, you can try some specific relaxation techniques to help you unwind. Meditation is an ancient practice that is aimed at calming your mind and helping you become at peace with yourself. Try just sitting quietly while being aware of your breathing.  As thoughts pop into you head, try to return your mind’s focus to your steady breathing. Alternatively, focus on an object you have placed in front of you, or you could try to visualise something calming, like a gentle sea. You might find it hard at first but you will improve the more you practice meditation. If you find it hard to stick with the meditation you could practice some relaxed deep breathing. Sit in a comfortable chair which supports your head, or lie down flat with your palms up and your legs a little apart. Fill up your lungs without forcing them, breathing in through your nose. Count to five as you breathe in.  Breathe out through your mouth, slowly counting to five again. Repeat this with a regular and controlled rhythm. Breathe without pausing or holding your breathe, and keep doing this until you feel calm and relaxed. Try to do this for three to five minutes, two or three times daily. If you have some more time then you can try practicing a deep muscle relaxation session. This will take around twenty minutes and it stretches and relaxes different muscles which releases tension from your body and mind. Once you have a warm and quiet place, sit or lie down and concentrate on steady breathing. Going through each in turn you will release the tension from your face, neck, shoulders, chest, arms, legs, wrists and hands. Repeat each exercise a couple of times before moving on.  Begin by pushing together your eyebrows, as if you were frowning, hold for a few seconds and then release. Next move onto the neck by gently tilting the head forward, with your chin down towards your chest, holding for a few seconds, before lifting your...

Займитесь медитацией. Используйте расслабляющее глубокое дыхание. Попробуйте глубокую мышечную релаксацию.


As well as regular exercise, eating a healthy balanced diet can make a significant contribution to a less stressful lifestyle. By making healthy positive choices with your diet you can make yourself both physically and emotionally stronger. Taking active care of yourself will boost your self-esteem as well as giving you more energy and more control over your body. Having a good diet will help your body function more efficiently.  Have a balanced diet that includes the food groups from the FDA food plate.  Taking the time to cook a delicious healthy meal in the evening can be a good way to de-stress at the end of a tough day. The average adult requires between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. Not only can a lack of sleep lead to increased stress, but chronic sleep deprivation can impair your judgment, reasoning ability, appearance, libido, and your performance at work or school.  Increase the amount of sleep you get by doing the following:  Establishing and sticking to a daily sleep schedule. Doing something relaxing before bed, such as reading or breathing exercises. Turning off your electronic devices. Sleeping in a comfortable environment. Avoiding alcohol and caffeine, which can disrupt sleep. Avoiding drinking above the recommended amounts of alcohol can help you to be more emotionally healthy. Men are recommended not to regularly drink more than three or four units a day. For a woman the equivalent is two or three units a day. Drinking can be attractive when you are particularly stressed, but it can exaggerate those feelings, making you angry and aggressive.  One unit of alcohol equals approximately a 25 milliliters (0.85  fl oz) measure of spirits (ABV 40%), a third of a pint of beer (ABV 5 to 6%), or half a standard (175ml) glass of wine (ABV 12%). You can download digital tools to help you keep track of how many units you consume. If you feel like alcohol is becoming a problem you should speak to your doctor. If you are a smoker, cutting down or quitting helps to relieve your stress and anxiety, as...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните правильно питаться. Соблюдайте здоровый режим сна. Употребляйте меньше алкоголя. Бросьте курить.


As with all fruit, papaya is the best when locally grown and picked. If it is available in your area, pick or purchase it for the best taste. If not, try to choose fruit imported from areas closest to your location to insure freshness and flavor. This papaya is grown in Hawaii and Costa Rica, and is known for a small to medium sized fruit with sweet, yellow flesh. Mexican papayas are much larger than kapaho papayas, and have orange or red flesh on the inside. They are known for the tendency of having a bland or bitter flavor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Старайтесь покупать местные фрукты. Попробуйте папайю Kapaho. Попробуйте мексиканскую папайю.


As with all medical fields, you will have to provide a medical history review before you begin your eye exam highlighted with questions about any vision problems that you have.  Several factors determine the frequency of eye exams such as age, health, and risk of eye problems. If you fear any problems with your eyes get them checked immediately to prevent any further damage.  If you have children under the age of three, your pediatrician will exam for the common problems of lazy eye and crossed eyes. Children should get their first comprehensive exam at six months, then again at three years of age or as recommended. If your child has no eye issues and there is no preexisting history, then have their eyes checked thoroughly by the first grade. If your child’s vision remains healthy get an eye exam once every two years. Adults in their twenties and thirties with no eye problems should get an eye exam every two years. Have your eyes check more frequently if you wear glasses, have a risk of eye diseases such as diabetes, or have a family history of eye problems. Visual acuity determines if you need prescription eyewear. You will have to identify letters of the alphabet on the Snellen chart or a screen located at twenty feet in front of you to determine if you need glasses or not (hence the assessment of 20/20 vision — you can see perfectly with both eyes at a distance of twenty feet).  The familiar chart has lines running horizontal with letters of the alphabet. As you move down the chart the letters get smaller. Each eye is tested separately. 20/20 vision does not mean you have perfect eyesight, only that you can see acutely from a distance of twenty feet. If you are unable to clearly see objects close to you it is called hyperopia or farsightedness. The opposite, myopia or nearsightedness means you cannot clearly see objects far away. The optometrist may dilate your pupils in order to screen for glaucoma, macular degeneration and other diseases of the retina. Glaucoma is difficult to detect so you should always...

Предоставьте свою медицинскую историю. Измерьте остроту зрения. Проверьте глазное давление. Проверьте здоровье ваших глаз. Обсудите диагноз.


As with all seafood, the meat is fresher if you can prepare and eat it right away. If you will be waiting several days to prepare your mussels, store them in the refrigerator and keep them damp either with wet newspaper around them or a damp cloth. Since mussels are living, storing them in a plastic container or plastic bag will suffocate them. Mussels will stay alive longer if you wait to clean them until you are ready to use them. Use a small, stiff brush and water to scrub the mussels' shells and remove barnacles and stuck-on seaweed. Place your mussels in a colander or on a tray. Rinse the mussels several times with a steady flow of fresh water. This will remove any dirt and sand from the mussels. Do not submerge the mussels in water or soak them as this will kill the mussels. Some mussels, mostly the cultivated ones, will have their beards already removed when you purchase them. However, if the beard is still in tact, as will be with wild mussels, you will need to remove the beard. To remove a beard from a mussel, grab hold of the beard, a brown, stringy tuft coming out from between the two shells, and give it a firm pull. The beard may come off during this process. If not, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the beard away from the shell.

As with all things, it's difficult to learn anything without exposure to it. In order to get your child interested in reading, you should be reading to them on a regular basis. If you’re able, this should start when they are an infant and continue through their school years. Read books with stories they comprehend; at a young age this may lead you to read 3-4 small books a day.  Books that combine other senses besides listening help your small child to comprehend the story as you read it. For example, read many books that have pictures, tactile pages, sounds, or have accompanying scents. Try reading them books that might slightly challenge their comprehension level but that have an interesting or engaging story. Even before your child learns to read, they can learn reading comprehension. As you read stories to them aloud, ask them questions about the characters or the plot. For a toddler, these may be questions like “Do you see the dog? What is the dog’s name?”. The questions can escalate in difficulty as the reading level does. Help to teach your child critical thinking skills by asking open-ended questions about stories. You might not hear complex verbal responses until your child is four or five years old, but ask away and be patient. It’s no good if you have books around, but located in places that your child can’t easily take them. Keep books low to the ground and in typical play-areas so that your child begins to associate them with play activities.  Because your child may be touching and reading the books often, be sure to choose ones that have wipeable pages and that aren’t incredibly sentimental. Pop-up books may not be the best option for young children. A fancy bookshelf may seem like the most attractive option, but until your child is in school focus on the utilitarian purposes of book storage. Set up a reading space next to the bookshelf. Set some beanbags, pillows, and comfy chairs around to sit in while reading. The top of the bookshelf can hold cups and snacks for having while reading. Show...

TL;DR in Russian:

As with any STD, abstaining from sexual activity is the most effective way to prevent genital herpes.  Barring that, limiting your number of sexual partners reduces the likelihood of transmission.  You can consider a reduced risk of contracting an STD as one benefit of engaging in long-term, monogamous sexual relationships. Of course, honesty within the monogamous relationship, and taking protective measures as needed, are important in preventing the transmission of herpes as well. Not surprisingly, most people are not eager to discuss herpes with prospective or new sexual partners.  Getting past the stigmas and fears, however, and engaging in an honest discussion about STDs, is essential to protecting against transmission either to or from you.  If you know you have herpes, consider it your responsibility to inform your partners, even if this means engaging in an awkward conversation.  Likewise, take it upon yourself to ask your partners if they have or may have herpes. If you are concerned that you may have herpes, talk to your doctor about taking a simple blood test that can confirm or refute your suspicion.  Genital herpes can spread even when symptoms are not present, so it is best to err on the side of caution.  If it is even remotely possible that you or your partner has herpes, assume it to be so and take protective measures.  In fact, the protective measures recommended for preventing herpes transmission are good habits under all circumstances. Herpes is most likely to be transmitted when an infected person is symptomatic with the tell-tale blisters.  It is therefore imperative to avoid sexual activity during these flare-ups of the infection.  The same principle holds true for avoiding kissing and sharing of utensils, drinkware, etc., during breakouts of oral herpes.  For more information specific to dealing with oral herpes, click over to How to Live with Herpes. During breakouts in particular, any skin-to-skin contact in the “risk area” carries an increased risk of transmission, as any miniscule...

As with any cat, feed a good quality cat food of either a wet (canned or pouch) or dry (kibble) variety. Use the feeding guide on the back of the package as a guide to the initial quantity. Take care your cat does not become overweight. Check once a week that you can feel his or her ribs and that he or she has a waistline. If you have difficulty identifying individual ribs then the cat has become overweight and you need to cut back its food allowance by 10%. After this cut back, check your cat's weight again in one week's time. You could just give it water in a dish, or get a running water system. You can buy running water for cats at you local pet store. If you can't find one there, go online and order one.  If you don't want to buy a running water system, give them water in a dish and occasionally turn on the faucet in the bathroom and let them jump up and drink it! Bengals have a thing about water - an obsession really. They love to play with it and running water holds a special fascination. They will sit and bat at it with a paw for hours. This is great except you can end up with very wet carpets. Therefore, it's best to site water bowls on a waterproof floor that can be mopped dry if it all gets too much. Also remember to keep the toilet seat cover down. This is the Bengal equivalent of a play pool and it will enjoy dipping its paw in and splashing water everywhere. It will give it the feeling of privacy. Also be sure to give you cat a litter box with high edges. Bengal cats can jump up to three times their height, so don't be afraid to give them a little higher edge around their litter box.  The high edge is so they don't pee outside the box. If they only have to step into the box, they may pee along the edge of the box, thus leaving you a big mess to clean. If you want to teach your cat to go to the bathroom in a toilet, your job is a lot easier with a Bengal! Do some research on training programs and start it when your Bengal is young. Bengals have a satin finish to their coat that doesn't need a lot...

As with any console, downloading multiple items at once will slow down the collective download speed for all items. You will achieve the best results by downloading items—particularly games—one at a time. Not only will playing online during an active download hinder your online experience due to lag, it will also slow down the item's download speed. This is the download equivalent of turning off your computer and then turning it back on. If your download is taking a long time to initiate or proceed, pausing and then resuming it may increase the download speed. The problem may be with your Internet service, not the console itself; for example, if you aren't approved for download speeds above a certain capacity (e.g., 25 Mbps), your downloads may not get any faster than they already are.  Keep in mind that Internet speed is often measured in megabits per second, not megabytes per second. There are eight megabits in a megabyte, so a 25 Mbps connection is only allowing you to download ~3 megabytes per second. Upgrading your plan or switching to a better Internet Service Provider will most likely fix any capacity problems. Cheap modems and routers tend to distribute limited amounts of bandwidth; just because you're paying for a certain download speed doesn't mean you're getting it. If your modem supports less bandwidth than does your Internet service, consider upgrading your equipment. If you're trying to download something on the same network as another device—be it a computer, a phone, or a console—your download speed will slow down as a result. To solve this problem, try downloading when there's no one else in the house and no extra Internet items on your network. . While the PS4 has a competent wireless Internet receiver, plugging your console directly into your router or modem will always increase your Internet connection speed. You'll need an Ethernet cable to do so. One end of your Ethernet cable should plug into the square port in the back of your PS4 while the other plugs into a similar port marked...

As with any creative endeavour, if you want to get started on writing a light novel, you should read and analyze one first. Light novels have been released in the United States by Yen Press, Del Rey Manga and Tokyopop (the latter of the three has been defunct since 2006), so pick a light novel (or a series of them) and analyze the writing style. Light novels rely heavily on dialogue, so look at quotes from the characters, and get a feel for the characters' speaking styles. However, keep in mind what kind of audience you want your book to appeal to. If your audience is Western, don't spend your whole time writing just dialogue and no description. This will easily confuse your average American viewer (though this may be different for readers in other countries). Readers may lose track of who is speaking if there is no description present. For example, if you are just writing for avid anime fans, an average American reader (who may not even watch anime) probably won't understand the jokes you lace into the text unless they have prior knowledge of Japanese culture.  This is a fatal flaw for many Original English Language "ranobe," as the majority of people will be confused by them, and they won't sell.

As with any hunting activity, when hunting coyote, it is very important to obey any local hunting rules, regulations, and restrictions, both to ensure the safety of yourself and others and to ensure you don't unknowingly break any laws. In the United States, hunting laws can differ from state to state, so research hunting laws in your state before leaving on your hunting trip.  Because, especially in agricultural communities, coyotes can be considered pests, and because they are not an endangered species, there are generally few restrictions on hunting coyotes. However, there are sometimes restrictions on the ways in which you are allowed to hunt coyotes. For instance, in West Virginia, though there is no limit on the number of coyotes you may hunt, only .22 caliber ammunition or smaller is legal for hunting coyote.   If in doubt about which locations are safe and legal or hunting, visit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's online hunting site locator, which allows you to search by state, zip code, and type of game. Coyotes are common throughout most of North and Central America. Though they originally lived mostly in prairies, grasslands, and deserts, the coyote has now adapted to live almost everywhere - even in urbanized, metropolitan areas. The best bet for finding coyotes is to look for them where their wild prey (small game, birds, mice, etc.) live. Fields, brushy creeks, riverbeds, and light forests are all good places to hunt. Because they are livestock pests, most farmers will be happy to give you permission to hunt coyote on their agricultural land as well. Because coyotes weigh, at most, 50 pounds, you won't need a large-caliber weapon to bag one. In fact, as noted above, in some jurisdictions, it's illegal to hunt coyote with large-caliber weapons. Flat-shooting .22 rifles are fine choices for coyote hunting. In shorter-range situations, like in wooded areas or at night, shotguns can also work well (where legal). Deer-sized rifles will work fine in a pinch. With shotguns, opt for a 12-gauge that...

As with any language, there are dozens of ways to tell someone you love them. Start small and work your way up. You may be nervous to begin with, so it's best to start simple.  "I love you" is "Je t'aime." It sounds like zhuh - tem. This is the strongest way to tell someone you care.  "I adore you" is "Je t'adore." It sounds like zhuh - tah - door (the r is very soft and should only be hinted at).  "I want you" is "Je te désire." It sounds like zhuh - tuh - duh - zai - uh. As with anything, practice will make saying these words so much easier. The sounds in French aren't the same as in English; practice the accent along with the words. Almost every translation website has an audio option. Listen to a native speaker say the words and emulate the exact sound. There are also plenty of videos on the web that can show you the exact mouth and tongue formation to nail the sound. If you've got the "Je t'aime" down, go a little above and beyond to express your feelings. There are many more poetic, meaningful ways to show your emotions. Add terms of endearment. Just like you might say, "I love you, babe," or "I love you, sweetheart," the same goes in French. "Mon amour," "ma/mon chéri(e)," and "mon bébé" will spruce up the phrase. That's "my love," "my darling," and "my baby", respectively. "Ma chérie" is for a woman; "mon chéri" is for a man. The possessive adjectives "mon" and "ma" (my) have to agree with the gender of the term of endearment -- not your own gender nor necessarily that of the person you're talking to. Generally speaking, masculine terms of endearment can be used for men and women, while feminine terms of endearment can only be used for women.

TL;DR in Russian:

Овладейте основами. Практика. Проявите фантазию.


As with any major surgical procedure, it is important to make sure the patient is not in pain. Most clinics use a combination of painkillers (an opioid and a non-steroidal) on the day of surgery, and send your dog home with an oral painkiller to continue taking at home.  Keep in mind that some dogs are more sensitive and will feel more pain than others. The average length of time that pain relief is required is generally four to five days, but your dog may need more or less time. Do not use any unprescribed painkillers without veterinary advice. Each dog reacts differently to pain; some become vocal and whine, while others withdraw and try to hide. General signs of discomfort are listed below::  Restlessness:  Pacing, inability to settle, and sitting down and then standing again, can all be signs of discomfort. Vocalization:  Whining and crying. This is sometimes an attempt to get attention rather than a sign of pain. Try to avoid fussing over the dog when she cries; if she learns that you will not reward her, but continues to whine, she is probably in pain. Body Posture: A dog in pain often wears a "miserable" expression with tipped down ears, doleful eyes and a lowered head. Her body is often hunched and she may not be able to lie in her favorite position. Behavior : Some dogs change behavior when in pain, of which one example is becoming snappy or aggressive. Other dogs withdraw, as if trying to hide away from the pain. Not eating or drinking: Some dogs (especially Labradors) eat no matter what, but others go off their food if uncomfortable. If you feel you dog does not have adequate pain relief, contact the clinic. There are other painkillers, such as tramadol, which can be added to the NSAID prescription to top up her pain control. Most veterinarians want to schedule a check-up between three and ten days after the operation. However, should you become concerned before this, always contact the surgery for advice. Signs to watch for include:  Not eating or drinking after 48 hours:  Your dog should be...

As with any other type of fat, getting rid of unwanted cellulite in your thighs begins with eating a balanced diet filled with foods that can help you shed fat cells.  Fiber, which can be obtained in large quantities from whole grains, fruits, and leafy vegetables, regulates your body and helps clear waste and toxins out through the intestines. Protein, which can be found in meats and nuts, can help repair broken and damaged collagen and connective tissues. As a result, your skin becomes firmer, and the dimpled, wrinkled cellulite in the back of your thighs will be reduced. In general, sources of lean protein like fish are preferred over fatty protein sources like red meat. You should also avoid saturated fats and trans fats as much as possible. In particular, avoid “junk food” like greasy fast food, potato chips, and candy, since junk food tends to be high in trans fats. In order to get rid of cellulite, you need to burn fat. In order to burn fat, you need to burn more calories than you consume.  Determine your ideal weight based on your BMI, or body mass index. If you exercise three to four times weekly for at least 60 minutes, multiply your goal weight by 15. If you do not exercise, multiply it by 13. If you exercise an hour a day or more, multiply by 20. The product equals the number of daily calories you should aim to consume.  Pay attention to the number of calories you consume at the end of one week. Subtract the number of daily calories you should consume from this amount to determine how many calories you need to work on cutting out of your diet to lose weight and shed fat. More water will help your body shed toxins and fat, so cellulite all over your body will be reduced, including the cellulite gathering in your thighs.  Water can also improve the strength of collagen and connective tissue in your skin, making your skin much firmer. This can help reduce the wrinkled appearance of collagen and create a smoother look on the back of your thighs. You should try to increase the amount of water you drink...

As with any plant, certain types of grapes grow better in different areas and offer up different flavors and appearances. There are three general types of grapes: American, European, and Muscadine grapes. American grapes grow best in warm, sunny climates like that of central California. European grapes are common in Europe and Northern parts of the US, and Muscadine grapes are commonly found in the Southern US.  Within each general type of grapevine, there are multiple species to choose from which each offer up their own flavor, color, texture, and size. Visit a local nursery to find one that fits your needs and environment. Select plants that look healthy and strong, and are 1 year old. When possible, get them certified virus-free to ensure that their healthy growth is continued.  Look for plants that have an even root distribution, and whose canes are symmetrical. If you or a friend has another grapevine you’d like to plant from, you can take a cutting and plant it in a new location. To use your own cuttings: Cut the sections directly from the vine or from brush that has recently been pruned off. Make sure the cutting is 3 nodes long (the nodes will look like bumps). At the bottom of the cutting, make the cut at an angle. This cut should be at 45 degrees and 1/4 to 1-inch above the node. When taking cuttings, plant as many as possible - in as many locations as possible - to have a higher chance of success. Surplus plants can be given away. Grapevines are long term plants that can live between 50 and 100 years. Therefore, make sure that the location you select is a permanent one that will offer up plenty of room for future grapevines. Grapevines thrive in sloped and hilly areas that offer up plenty of drainage and sunlight. When possible, plant your grapevines on a downward slope on a south-facing hill, in an area clear of other trees and large plants.  In cold areas be sure to plant the grapevines in a sunny area, preferably facing south. A southern facing location may prevent frost nipping the vines. Also...

As with any stain, the faster you move to treat the stain, the more success you will have removing it. This may be particularly difficult with vomit, since handling clothing covered with vomit is not very appealing, but it's in your best interest to work quickly. If treated immediately, a strong blast of water may be enough to get the vomit out of your clothes. Organic stains can sometimes be removed with a little water and agitation. Because the stain will be far more difficult to remove if it is allowed to dry and set, immersing the soiled clothing in water will prevent the stain from drying.

As with contacting Nickelodeon via phone, there is no single address for mailing Nickelodeon — every office around the world has a different physical address, making matters a little complicated. Once again, however, the New York Nickelodeon Headquarters is a great place to start for general inquiries. The NYC office is located at: New York Office  1515 Broadway, 44th Floor New York, NY 10036 Nickelodeon's cartoons aren't written, shot, or animated at the corporate offices in New York. In fact, most of the work that goes into making a great Nick show happens at Nickelodeon Studios in California. For this reason, if you have specific questions about how shows are developed and produced for the network, it's a smart idea to send your mail here.

As with dialogue, you have to observe real people to be able to replicate that realness with words. So grab a pen or pencil and something to write on and get out into public.  Observe strangers in a public place, like the mall or a coffee shop or even the library. Write down descriptions of them. What are they wearing? What color is their hair? How are they walking? Are they striding confidently, or are they hunched over and furtive? What quirks do you observe? Do they tap their fingers as they drink coffee, are they chewing on a pen? Are they laughing to themselves? You don't have to write an entire description while you're observing, just jot down a few notes to give yourself ideas for later. All these observations tell us something about a person and you'll need them for when you start describing people. Pay attention to your family and friends. They all have habits and personality quirks that you've become accustomed to. Start jotting those down, as well. Describing people you know well can be great practice. You aren't looking to copy them exactly but to figure out what works for them and why it works. Analyzing someone else's work is important, because it gives you ideas on how to make your own work do something similar.  "Crowley had dark hair, and good cheekbones, and he was wearing snakeskin shoes, or at least presumably he was wearing shoes, and he could do really weird things with his tongue. And, whenever he forgot himself, he had a tendency to hiss. He also didn't blink much." This description gives an outline of physical features, but leaves most of the formation up to the reader. What it does do is highlight Crowley's "otherness," because Crowley, is in fact, a demon. Other things that can be gleaned from this one passage: Crowley wears good clothing (the snakeskin shoes), he is trying to fit into being a human, but not quite succeeding, and he doesn't always maintain control over himself. "Suddenly Frodo noticed that a strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall,...

As with germinating clematis’ from seeds, propagating clematis from cuttings requires quite a bit of preparation and the proper materials. You’ll need a very sharp knife or pair of gardening shears, horticultural disinfectant, 6-inch planters, disinfected potting mixture, fungicide mix, rooting hormone powder, plastic bags, and straws/stakes of some sort to create mini ‘greenhouses’. Begin by using your disinfectant to clean your knife/shears, planting pots, and the stakes/straws you are using. Use your knife or gardening shears to make a single clean cut through an existing clematis plant. Cut a vine/branch that is at least 3-feet long, severing the plant just above a set of leaves and below the next node up on the stem. If you can, try to take your cutting from the center of the vine rather than the base or the tip, as this has the highest likelihood of sprouting. Continue to separate your cutting out into smaller sections for planting, by cutting just above a leaf node. If you want your cuttings to sprout, it is imperative that you very carefully follow the directions for using your fungicide and rooting hormone mixtures. Start by dunking each of your cuttings in the fungicide mixture, following the directions that came with the mix. Then, dip the ends of each cutting in the rooting hormone mix, being careful to get just the right amount. Adding too much of the rooting hormones can prevent growth, which is not what you want. Finish by cutting one leaf off each stem; this will reduce moisture loss. Fill each of your pots with your sterile soil mixture so that they are about ¾ of the way full. Bury the tips of each of the cuttings so that the joint of the leaves are level with the topsoil. Give them a light watering so the soil is damp, and label the pot if applicable. Clematis cuttings will thrive in a slightly humid environment, which you can easily create with a few household materials. Stick 3-4 straight straws or bamboo stakes into each container, and place a plastic bag over the top. Make sure that the...

As with hair loss in men, the most important first step is to consult a doctor. The earlier a woman seeks care, the sooner a doctor can administer the proper treatment, which is more likely to yield positive results and regrowth. Your doctor will run a panel of tests to check everything from deficiencies to levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Deficiencies such as zinc, iron, or vitamin D can result in hair loss. After your doctor runs a panel of tests, he or she may recommend a stronger daily dose of deficient vitamins or minerals.  In cases where hormonal abnormalities are present—specifically the presence of excess male hormones known as androgens—medications such as spironolactone (which limits aldosterone production) or oral contraceptives may be the solution.  In cases where the diagnosis is alopecia areata, early data shows that JAK inhibitors such as ruxolitinib can suppress the immune response causing the hair loss. A doctor may decide to prescribe minoxidil (Rogaine and its generics) for a woman with DHT-related hair loss. Whereas the minoxidil formulation for men is typically 5%, women are more commonly prescribed a 2% formula.  For a women who really want to maximize the potential for hair regrowth, a doctor may still prescribe the stronger 5% solution; however, while very effective, this can lead to increased facial hair growth as a side effect.  As with men, one of the major drawbacks of minoxidil for women is that the product requires strict adherence to its application. Regrown hair will quickly recede with discontinued use. Hair transplant surgeries relocate healthy hair follicles to affected areas of the scalp and are very effective methods of regrowing hair. Transplant options are best for women with traction alopecia (caused by long wear of tight braids or other things that pull the hair) or hair loss due to trauma such as scarring or burns.  Unfortunately, most women with DHT-related hair loss see a general thinning across the entire scalp as opposed to male pattern baldness which...

As with homemade toothpaste, tooth powder can be made using a variety of recipes.  Often these natural products may sound a bit baffling — clay on your teeth? — so understanding the reasoning behind the ingredients in a sample tooth powder recipe is important:  Bentonite clay: this natural clay can bind to toxins in your body — including the mercury that may be found in dental fillings.  It is also rich in materials that can nourish teeth and gums. Baking soda: baking soda is a wonderful natural abrasive, and its alkaline qualities neutralize damaging acid. Sage: sage is a natural tooth-whitener and astringent. Xylitol: this natural sweetener is an important pH neutralizer and will help make homemade tooth powder more palatable. Be aware that xylitol is toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of your pet's reach. Sea salt: sea salt contains tooth-strengthening minerals and can alleviate gum inflammation. Don't use too much salt as large amounts may lead to swollen gums. Peppermint: peppermint has antibacterial, antiseptic, and pain-relieving properties in addition to its breath-freshening qualities. Use a non-metal spoon as some metals may react with your ingredients.  Mix 2 tablespoons bentonite clay, 2 tablespoons baking soda, 1 tablespoon dried, finely ground sage leaf, 1 tablespoon xylitol, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Drip 15 to 20 drops of peppermint essential oil into the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine. Place in a container or jar with a tight-fitting lid, or consider placing in a squirt-top container (the grain of your mixture will be fine enough to "squirt").  Avoid metal containers. Store in a dry location. Dip your toothbrush in the powder, or squirt from your squirt-top bottle onto your damp toothbrush.  Use just as you would commercial toothpaste.

As with many conditions, trying to understand if your physical experience is unusual or out of the ordinary is sometimes difficult to determine. For example, if a person always has GI issues after meals, then that is their established normal and they likely assume others feel the same way. But experiencing bloating, flatulence (passing gas), cramps, nausea and loose stool (diarrhea) after meals is not considered normal and always represents signs of digestive problems.  A variety of conditions and diseases cause similar GI symptoms and diagnosing can be tricky, but the first step is realizing that your digestive experience is not normal and it needn't be accepted as unavoidable. Lactase splits lactose into two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose, which are absorbed by the small intestine and used by the body as energy.  Not all people with lactase deficiency have digestive or GI symptoms — they produce low levels, but it's enough to handle their dairy (lactose) consumption. The typical signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance (bloating, abdominal pain, passing gas and diarrhea) often begin between 30 minutes to two hours after eating foods or drinking beverages that contain lactose. As such, try to link your GI symptoms to consuming dairy products. Start first thing in the morning by eating a breakfast devoid of any lactose (read labels if you're unsure) and see how you feel. Contrast that to eating lunch with some dairy, such as cheese, yogurt and/or milk. If there is a significant difference in how your GI system feels, then you may very well be lactose intolerant.  If you feel bloated and flatulent after both meals, then you may have a stomach or intestinal issue such as inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease. If you feel pretty good after both meals, then maybe you have a food allergy to something else in your diet. This sort of approach is usually called an elimination diet, meaning that you eliminate dairy products from your diet in efforts to narrow down the cause of your GI problems. Lactose...

As with men, black and grey are more formal, making for a safer bet. Avoid low-cut dresses or those with high slits. Avoid dresses (especially) and skirts that are more skin-tight. No sundresses. No jeans, unless otherwise noted. If jeans are allowed by your employer, distressed jeans, jeans with holes, and "boyfriend" jeans are not desirable choices. Neutral colors are best. Women have a few more options in this department than the men. Opt for conservative and not too revealing. Blouses, plain shirts, cotton shirts, sweaters, turtlenecks, vests, and sleeveless shirts are all acceptable.  Tucked-in or untucked can both go, depending on the shirt. Unusual patterns are acceptable, as long as they are not wild. The standard, however, is a monotone shirt. Use a collar for a more formal look, and collarless shirts for a less formal look. Avoid flip flops, sandals and sneakers. Heels are okay, so long as they aren't too conspicuous. Remember dress socks or pantyhose (with skirts or dresses) and tastefully accessorize with light jewelry and a simple purse. Ask yourself the following set of questions if you're still not sure whether your outfit is acceptable.   Would I wear this clubbing? The answer should be 'no.'  Would I wear this to sleep? The answer should be 'no.'  Would I wear this to do yard work? The answer should be 'no.'  Would I wear this to a costume party? The answer should be 'no.'

As with most campfires, a teepee fire starts with a foundation of tinder. Gather up your tinder materials and place them in a bundle in the center of the fire location. To make it easier to bundle the tinder, you may want to lay it on top of a piece of dry tree bark. Once your tinder material is in place in the center, gather your kindling and use approximately five or six pieces to create a cone-like teepee shape around the tinder. Next, add a layer of firewood to create a larger teepee around the first.  Stick the smaller twigs and branches into the ground to help secure the teepee. Start with smaller pieces of kindling and move on to larger pieces for a second layer as you build the structure. Make sure to leave an opening in the teepee so you can light the fire when you’re ready. Place the opening on the side of the teepee where the wind is blowing, so the fire will get the air needed to maintain it. Leave spaces between the pieces of wood as you place them to help air circulate through the fire as well. Keep a reserve pile of kindling and firewood on hand after building the teepee. You may need it later to feed the fire. With the teepee structure in place, it’s time to light the fire. Place a match or lighter under the tinder to ignite it. The teepee structure helps encourage the flames to move upward, so the kindling should catch fire first, followed by the firewood. If the flames don’t move from the tinder to the kindling and firewood, you may need to relight the tinder to get the fire started. As the fire burns, the teepee structure will eventually collapse, and help feed the fire for some time. However, the flames may start to die down after a while. At that point, throw some kindling and firewood from your reserve pile onto the fire to maintain it. A teepee fire is ideal for cooking because it burns steadily for a shorter period of time.

As with most fruits and vegetables, there are many variations of the onion that are appealing for different reasons. Onions come in three general colors - white, yellow, and red/purple - each with their own distinct taste. Additionally, onions are categorized into two growing types: long-day and short-day. Long-day onions are named such because they begin sprouting when the days between 14 to 16 hours in length (late spring/summer), while short-day onions begin sprouting when days are between 10 to 12 hours in length (winter/early spring).  Long-day onions grow the best in northern states, while short-day onions grow the best in southern states.  Yellow onions are golden in color and have a slightly sweet flavor, white onions are sharp and a bit tangier than their yellow counterparts, and red onions are violet in color and are often eaten fresh rather than cooked. In general, there are two popular ways of growing onions: using either onion sets (bulbs) or using onion seeds. Gardeners tend to prefer planting onion sets, as they are a bit hardier and stand up to poor weather better than onion seeds. However, if you're able and willing to grow your onions from seeds indoors and transplant them outdoors, you can certainly raise them all on your own from seeds. You can also plant your onions in the ground in warm weather.  You can choose to grow onions from transplants/cuttings, but this isn't always successful and is much more difficult to accomplish than just using sets or seeds. Visit a local nursery to get recommendations on sets and seeds that grow well in your area. Onions can be tricky to grow if they're not planted at the right time. If planted in cold weather, they can die off or waste energy in blossoms rather than bulbs in the spring. If you're planting seeds, start them indoors at least 6 weeks prior to planting outdoors. Make sure that you sow the onions 6 weeks before your average last frost date, and set them out after that date. Onions aren't too terribly picky when it comes to growing conditions,...

As with most other cuts of meat, flank steak is at its most tender and flavorful not right after it comes off the grill, but after it's had a little time to rest and cool. If the meat is cut immediately after it's removed from the grill, you'll notice its internal juices spill onto the plate. These juices are responsible for the meat's flavor and texture, so doing this can make your meat lest tender and tasty. However, if you give your meat a short "break" before cutting into it, it has a chance to re-absorb these juices, retaining much of its moisture and flavor. To "rest" your meat, place it on a clean plate or platter under tented aluminum foil and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. The foil will help the meat retain its heat as it rests. Flank steak is made up of long, thin muscle fibers — you can see them if you look for small, faint lines running the length of the meat. If left intact, these fibers can be tough to chew. However, by cutting the meat diagonally, perpendicular to the grain of the meat, the fibers are severed, making the slices of meat much more tender. For this reason, London Broils are traditionally served as narrow diagonal slices made against the grain of the meat. Divide your London Broil into a portions consisting of a few slices each. If you wish, you can now season your portions individually. A light sprinkling of salt and fresh-ground black pepper almost always pairs well with London Broil, but other seasonings can make great choices as well. Below are just a few seasoning ideas:  Pre-made seasoning mixes (Johnny's, etc.) Rosemary, thyme, and roasted garlic Chili powder Paprika Grilled/fried onions Congratulations! Your delicious London Broil is all ready to eat. Try serving this classic dish with roasted vegetables or sandwiching it between a few pieces of bread for classic flavor combinations.

As with most personal information, it's not always appropriate to share something intimate with a person you haven't known for very long. Boys aren't always super mature at this time in their lives, and if it makes him shy, confused, or uncomfortable he might not know how to react.  If you have been dating for a while and you feel you know him pretty well, you might want to bring it up casually. You don't need to make a big deal about it, because it really isn't a big deal! Think about how he's reacted to other potentially awkward moments in the past. Did he freak out, embarrass you, or tell all his friends? If so, you might want to hold off. Is it having an impact on your relationship? Do your cramps keep you from going out with him? Do you get wicked mood swings and snap at him? If so, it might be a good idea to clue him in so he knows it's nothing personal. If it's not really affecting your relationship, then it's entirely up to you whether or not you want to tell him. If you want to keep it private, that's totally fine. If you want to be up front about it, then go for it. Chances are, he's not going to have any idea what you are talking about and the misunderstanding might make things unnecessarily awkward. If you choose to tell him, use clear language but make sure he knows it's something personal you are choosing to tell him. Say something like "I know I've been moody this week. I've actually got my period right now and sometimes it makes me a little sensitive. I just wanted to let you know what was going on with me--I'd really appreciate it if you didn't mention it to anyone else." Periods can be pretty mysterious and intimidating to boys, and he might just blush and say "Oh. Um. Okay." and never bring it up again. It's not cool, however, if he makes fun of you or says it's gross, but you shouldn't take that personally--it's his problem he's acting like an immature little kid. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you or gross about your period--in fact, it means you're perfectly healthy.  You can...

As with nearly all types of electrical work, it's extremely important to ensure that there's no risk of electric shock before starting work on your device. Attempting to modify a "live" device is an easy way to seriously hurt yourself or cause a short circuit and permanently damage your device. The precise method for disconnecting your device from its power source differs depending on the device you're working on. For cars, you'll want to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, for instance, while other devices may require you to unplug or manually disconnect the power supply in some other way. Installing a toggle switch on a device requires you to gain access to the device's internal wiring, which usually means removing the device's exterior paneling or housing. If possible, rather than removing the paneling for the entire object, try to remove only the paneling from the part of the device where you intend to install the switch.  For instance, if you're installing a toggle switch in your car, you'll want to remove the dash paneling, if possible—a small portion of paneling where you want to install the switch, rather than the entire dash panel. This may require screwdrivers, pry bars, "panel poppers," or other specialized tools. To accommodate your toggle switch, you'll usually need to create a suitably-sized and shaped hole in the paneling or housing of your device. Measure the dimensions of your switch bushing (the part of the switch in which the "lever" is seated) so that you'll know how large to make your hole. For basic toggle switches, this is usually a circular hole, but depending on the type of switch you're using, differently-shaped holes may be necessary. Next, make a hole in the paneling of your device to fit your switch. For the most basic toggle switches with circular bushings, this will mean drilling with a bit slightly larger than the diameter of the switch bushing. For differently-shaped holes, you may need to use a jigsaw, sandpaper, and/or other tools. Use an HSS (high-speed steel)...

As with other forms of brewing coffee (like "drip" brewing methods), the first thing you'll need to do is decide how much coffee you want to brew, then add this amount of water to the "tank" or "reservoir" portion of the percolator. Depending on how your percolator is assembled, you may simply be able to open the lid and pour your water in, or you may need to remove the upper "basket", which holds the coffee grounds during brewing, to access the reservoir. Most standard-size percolators will hold about 4 - 8 cups, though differently-sized varieties exist. As a reference point, four cups of coffee equates to roughly two standard-sized mugfuls. Next, if you had to remove the upper basket/chamber or the central tube to add the water, replace them now. Though every percolator is different, the basic construction of most is nearly identical — the coffee grounds should sit above the water in a small basket or chamber lined with small holes. A narrow tube should extend from this basket down into the water below. When the water heats, it will naturally move us the tube and into the coffee grounds. As it soaks into the grounds, it will pick up some of their aroma and flavor and drain back down into the water below, where the cycle will repeat. Next, add your coffee grounds to the upper basket lined with small holes. You can use either fresh-ground coffee or pre-ground beans — which ever you prefer. Use roughly 1 tablespoon (15 ml) for each cup of water you use if you like your coffee strong. For weaker coffee, use 1 teaspoon per cup. As you use your percolator, you may find that you need to adjust these measurements to get your coffee tasting just right. As we'll discuss below, for most percolator brewing, you'll want to use a light, low-acidity roast and a fairly coarse grind — coarser than what you might use for a standard drip machine. You're ready to go — now, all you need to do is heat up the water in the bottom of your percolator and physics will do the rest. Your goal is to heat up your water to the point that...

As with other parts of the horse’s body, your horse will move his head in different ways depending on how he’s feeling. The position of his head signals a variety of moods.  If your horse is holding his head high, he is showing that he is alert and curious.  A lowered head could mean several different things. It could mean that your horse has accepted a particular situation or command. It could also mean that your horse is depressed, which could require additional workup from your veterinarian.  If your horse is snaking his head (lowering his head slightly and moving his neck from side to side), he is showing signs of aggression. If possible, remove your horse from whatever is aggravating him. If you cannot do this safely, move as far back from your horse as you can until he calms down.  If he is walking or running while doing this, he is a leader trying to move his herd. Know that when he does this to people, he sees them as lower and himself as a leader.  Your horse may turn his head to look back at its flank, which could signal abdominal discomfort or just an itch. This is not a cause for concern unless it is repeated and seems to be accompanied by biting. Your horse will swish his tail for reasons than swatting away flies or insects. Although natural tail position can vary by breed, there are some tail positions that are common across breeds.  In addition to swatting away bothersome pests, tail swishing can also indicate agitation and can be a warning for other horses to keep their distance. If your horse is agitated, he will swish his tail more quickly and aggressively than if he was swatting away pests. Doing this while walking away from a horse that has moved in means they have surrendered to a leader, but are not happy about it.  Your horse will often raise his tail when he is feeling happy and alert. In foals, a tail held high over the back can indicate either playfulness or alarm.  If your horse’s tail is clamped down, your horse may be experiencing some discomfort, such as a fly on his underside or...
