Pour the water into a spray bottle and mix your peppermint oil in. Spray this solution on wasps and nests. Be sure to apply enough to soak the wasps and nests completely.. Consider mixing 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of shampoo or dish soap in to help the peppermint stick to the application area and suffocate the wasps. Pour hot water into a spray bottle and add your dish soap. Locate the wasps and spray them until they stop moving. If possible, use a hose-end sprayer for a more direct application. For larger nests, mix dish soap into your garden sprayer.  Only spray nests at night and cover your light source with a cloth or use amber or red bulbs to prevent the wasps from attacking you. Wasps don't like the smell of WD-40, which makes it a great repellent. Apply 2 to 3 sprays around areas that you see wasps frequent, especially crevices or small areas that wasps would likely build a nest in. For nests, spray about 5 to 6 times or until its entire surface is covered.  Never spray near candles or a lit grill. Avoid burning the nest after spraying WD-40—this is extremely risky if you cannot control the flame. on the nest, wasps, or areas where wasps frequent. Read the label to determine the application rate, which will tell you how many gallons you need per acre or square foot. Mix 1 ounce (28 g) of product for every 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water. Spray the insecticide onto affected areas as early in summer as possible. Focus on enclosed spaces with closed windows and doors.  Apply insecticides directly to any individual wasps or to the entire nest, as directed. Work fast and try and apply the insecticide at night when the wasps are less active. If you're not confident using chemical insecticides or are having trouble getting rid of wasps on your own, professional exterminators might be a safer alternative. If you have a wasp nest in the walls of your home, an exterminator can drill a hole in the window frame, floor, or wall near the nest's location, and then pump insecticides through this hole to reach the nest. Hire a...

Pour the water out from behind as this will prevent you from spilling on the diffuser's operating buttons. This could cause damage to the diffuser. Dab a small amount of a natural dishwashing detergent on a cotton brush. Use this to give the tank a gentle wipe down, removing any grime, and then wipe down the outside of the diffuser as well. Only use natural cleaners without any chemical additives. Harsh chemicals can harm the diffuser. Use a cloth dampened with clean water. Rub inside the tank and on the outside of the diffuser. This should remove any soap residue. Make sure to rub the diffuser with a clean rag until any water running off of it is clean. There should be a small ultrasonic chip inside the water tank. If you're not sure where your diffuser's chip is, consult your instructions manual. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to wipe down the mist chip.

Pour three or four inches of water into a wok or pot. Make sure the bamboo steamer can sit on top of the wok or pot with some airspace between the water and the bottom level of the steamer. Turn heat to high and bring the water to a boil. Here comes the fun part. What kind of flavor are you craving? You can easily season your fish with any of the recommendations below, or create your own seasoning. Don't worry about basting the fish perfectly, just glob your seasoning on!  A few dashes of coconut milk, cloves, a clove of diced garlic, fresh or dried basil, cilantro, sliced chives, and lemon juice. Lemon or limejuice, sliced green onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. A pinch of ground cumin, a clove of diced garlic, sliced sweet onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper. A splash of soy sauce, a splash of sesame oil, grated ginger, a dash of rice wine, and sesame seeds. For a whole fish (scaled and cleaned), work salt, pepper and seasoning into the diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish. If you are making fillets, use one large leaf per fillet and place fish skin-side down. If you are making a whole fish, overlap the cabbage leaves to cover the entire bottom of the steamer. Drizzle one third of the sauce over the fish. . Place the bamboo basket with the fish on the top of the wok or pot filled with boiling water. Cover with a lid. Cook time will depend on the thickness of the fish, with a whole fish taking a little longer. A 1-inch thick fillet will take about 10 minutes.  Take care not to overcook or the fish will be mushy. Check the fish after 10 minutes and then every couple minutes after that until its done. Fish is done when it flakes easily and is no longer translucent. The fish will continue to cook after you remove it from the heat. For fillets, you can serve the fillet on its cabbage bed. For a whole fish you can either remove the fish from the basket and place on a serving plate, or put the entire basket on a platter and serve from the basket. Drizzle fish with sauce and pass any remaining sauce at the table.

Pour through a strainer if the milk hasn't been strained since it left the animal. For small home batches, it's easiest to pasteurize milk one gallon (3.8 liters) at a time. Place the double boiler over medium–high heat. Stir frequently to help equalize the temperature and prevent scorching. Make sure the thermometer probe is not touching the sides or base of the pot, or the measurement will be off. As the milk approaches the temperature listed below, stir constantly and draw milk from the bottom of the pan to eliminate hot and cold spots. There are two ways to pasteurize milk, both of them safe and USDA-approved:  High Temperature Short Time (HTST)Faster, with less effect on taste and color.1. Bring the temperature to 161ºF (72ºC).2. Keep it at or above this temperature for 15 seconds.3. Remove from heat immediately.  Low Temperature Long Time (LTLT)Recommended for cheesemaking to avoid accidental overheating.1. Bring the temperature to 145ºF (63ºC).2. Keep the milk at or just above this temperature for 30 minutes. Restart the timer if the temperature drops below 145ºF.3. Remove from heat. The faster you cool the milk, the better it will taste. Put it in the ice bath and stir frequently to help release heat. After a few minutes, replace some of the warming water with cold water or ice. Repeat this whenever the water warms — the more often, the better. The milk is ready once it reaches 40ºF (4.4ºC). This can take as long as forty minutes in an ice bath, or twenty minutes in an ice cream machine. If the milk does not reach 40ºF (4.4ºC) within four hours, assume it has been recontaminated. Pasteurize it again and cool it more rapidly. Clean a milk container thoroughly with hot water and soap before using. For best results, sterilize a heat-safe container after cleaning by submerging it in hot water (at least 170ºF / 77ºC) for 30 to 60 seconds. Let the container air dry. Using a cloth towel can reintroduce bacteria. Pasteurization only kills 90 to 99% of bacteria in the milk. You still need to refrigerate the...

Pour white vinegar into a bowl or container. Wet a soft-bristled toothbrush in the vinegar. Rub the zipper gently but thoroughly with the toothbrush, on both sides of the zipper. You can use cola or lemon juice. Dip a toothbrush or cotton swab into the liquid and apply it to the zipper. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. Make sure to wash the area completely with water afterwards.  The phosphoric acid in cola breaks down and combats corrosion. Lemon juice contains the cleansing agent citric acid. Use a container of white vinegar or a vinegar and water solution. Add a small amount of baking soda (a sprinkle). Try to submerge only the zipper itself, if possible. If not, make sure that the material surrounding the zipper won’t be damaged by soaking it in vinegar. Either look it up or try soaking a test piece of material first. If you're having a salt encrustation issue with scuba gear, take off any parts you can that are not connected to the suit such as hooks, swivels, etc. Depending on how the zipper is mounted on your bag, you may be able to simply submerge the zipper and not the rest of the suit. There are various products, for example using silicone or wax, which are specifically designed for loosening stuck zippers. You can find these online, at marine supply stores, and at some auto parts stores. Typically the products are either in tubes or sold as sprays.  Follow the instructions of the lubricant product. Some lubricants are applied to all parts of the zipper, whereas others are for the outer teeth only. Apply the lubricant at room temperature. Use the zipper slider a few times to fully distribute the lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant.

Pour your seeds into a small plastic cup and fill it with warm water. Allow the seeds to sit for two to eight hours, until they sink to the bottom of the cup. Soaking the seeds breaks down some of the hard coating, speeding up the germination process. You can also try soaking the pepper seeds in weak chamomile tea or a solution made with 1 cup (250 ml) warm water and 1 or 2 teaspoons (5 or 10 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide. These solutions are even more effective at breaking down the coating and have the added benefit of disinfecting the seeds. A sterilized, loose-draining potting mix purchased from a garden supply or home improvement store should be sufficient. The hole should be about 1/4 inch (2/3 cm) deep. Drop one seed into each hole and loosely cover it with additional soil. Sweet bell peppers germinate best when the soil temperature is at 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) or higher. If possible, sit the seedling tray on top of a seedling heat mat. Otherwise, place it on a warm, sunny windowsill. Once the surface of the soil becomes dry, spray it down with water. Do not drench the soil, but do not allow it to dry out.

TL;DR in Russian:

Pour ¼ cup (59.14 ml) of your carrier oil into a measuring cup. If you are using water and alcohol, pour ¼ cup (59.14 ml) of water and add 1 teaspoon (4.92 ml) of the alcohol of your choice, then mix.  You can slightly alter the amount of carrier oil if you are using a small container, but keep in mind that the ratio of carrier oil to essential oil should be about 85 to 15. For instance, for a small container you could reduce the ratio to 17:1. If you want a strongly scented reed diffuser, make the ratio around 75 to 25. Keep in mind that the water and vodka mixture evaporates at a faster rate than carrier oil, so you will have to refill it more. Add 25-30 drops of the essential oil or oils of your choice into the measuring cup. If you are using two different oils, add 15 drops of one oil and 15 drops of the other. Gently swirl the oil mixture within the measuring cup to blend the oils by moving the measuring cup in circles, or use a spoon to stir and blend the oils together. Carefully pour the oil mixture into the container with the narrow opening that you purchased. If your measuring cup does not have a spout, you may want to use a funnel to help transfer the liquid into the container. Add about 4-8 reed sticks into the container. Fan the reed sticks out instead of leaning them all to one side of the rim so that they can work more effectively.

Powder stains are relatively easy to wash out of clothing, but they’re also easy to grind in! Don’t try to brush or rub away the powder. The safest way to remove excess powder is to blow it off, either by mouth or with a blow-dryer on a low setting. For a small powder spill, a puff of air may be enough to remove the stray makeup completely. If the powder is already rubbed into your garment, you may need to wash the stain out. For powder foundations, a gentle dish soap or liquid hand soap should work just fine. Put a drop or 2 of soap directly on the stain. If you’re worried about how the soap will affect your garment, test it out in an inconspicuous area first. Wet a clean sponge or washcloth, then wring it out to remove excess water. Gently rub the stain to work in the soap and remove the powder. Rinse the cloth or sponge and repeat to get the soap out. After treating the stain, gently blot the area with a dry towel. Be careful not to rub the garment, since this could damage the fabric or grind in any remaining makeup. After spot-treating the stain, wash the garment as usual. Pay attention to the directions on the label in order to avoid damaging your clothing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сдуйте остатки пудры. Нанесите несколько капель жидкого мыла на пятно. Протрите участок влажным спонжем или небольшим полотенцем. Промокните участок ткани чистым сухим полотенцем, чтобы удалить излишки влаги. Постирайте одежду как обычно.


Powdercoating is done with thermoplastic or thermoset polymer powder, and these materials are formulated for bonding with different base metals to give the best results. See the next section for a detailed discussion of the differences between thermoset and thermoplastic coats. What's good for a car may not be good for a small trinket or decoration. It sounds simple, but many people forget this step. The powder coat you apply will adhere to everything (if properly done) on your rig, making sealed surfaces, bearings, clamps, bolts and nuts, etc. useless after blasting. Using bead or abrasive blasting on hard metal, such as cast iron or steel, will remove mill and rust scale, dirt and foreign materials. Chemical solvent cleaning will remove any grease, oil, or paint, and light sanding can be done to finish preparing the surface. Aluminum, magnesium, and other soft alloy metals can be solvent cleaned and wire brushed, or sanded if needed.  For example, you might sand-blast whatever you want to powder coat until it's down to bare metal. This is the first step in the process. If you don't have access to a sandblaster, you can also use a wire wheel, bench-grinder, or even sandpaper. Just as long as you get the material down to bare metal. The next step is to strip the metal of any remaining grime or gunk. You can achieve this by soaking the item in acetone (if the item is small enough) or by wiping it with an acetone-soaked rag. This is done using a "gun" or compressed air sprayer which electrostatically charges the powder material so that it sticks to the grounded base metal object receiving the coating.  These guns are available from various suppliers, and cost as little as $100.  For experimental purposes, you can apply the powder to a flat metal surface by dusting it directly on, and spreading it to a thin, even layer.  Make sure you have your electrostatic charge hooked up to whatever part you are coating. The powder you use won't properly adhere unless it's given a charge to hold onto. After applying the coat...

Powdered cat milk replacer (such as Cimicat) can be purchased from the vet clinic, major pet stores, or on the Internet. Another good milk replacer is KMR. This is the cat equivalent of infant formula, with the same composition as queen's (mother's) milk. The milk replacer has guidelines as to how much to feed in each meal. Do not feed cow's milk to the kitten as the lactose is likely to upset the kitten's stomach. If you have no milk replacement and a hungry kitten, offer some cooled boiled water in a dropper or syringe until you can get to the vet clinic or pet store. The water keeps the kitten hydrated and won't upset her tummy. You can purchase this at a vet clinic, a major pet store, or on the Internet. In an emergency use an eyedropper or a small syringe to drip the milk replacement into the kitten's mouth. You do this much as you would a baby: hold the kitten up straight against your shoulder, or place one hand under its belly. Gently pat and rub its back. Before and after each feed, wipe the kitten's bottom with a paper towel or gauze pad soaked in warm water. This stimulates the kitten to go to the toilet, which otherwise she would not do. Hold the kitten over a litter box and use the towel to rub the kitten's genitals and anal region after every meal. Continue to do this until the urination and defecation is over (when nothing else is coming out).  Rub in just one direction–rubbing back and forth is irritating. Cotton balls or pads are not recommended because they shed. Urine should be pale yellow and odorless, and stools should be yellowish-brown, formed in tiny logs. Dark, pungent urine is a sign of dehydration; green stool may be a sign of over-feeding, while white stool could indicate malabsorption, a serious problem. Call your vet if you have any concerns.  If the kitten does not urinate for 12 hours, take her to the vet's immediately. Most kittens poop once a day, but individual schedules vary. Take her to the vet's if she hasn't pooped in more than two days. In the first two weeks of life the...

Powders are often sold to eliminate unwanted scents on the carpet. However, such powders leave residue in the carpet which can damage it over time. Stick to baking soda if you want to remove an unwanted smell. If there is a particularly bad smell that does not come out with baking soda, use powder very sparingly. When removing a stain, stick to blotting motions. Never rub a stain. This will not remove the stain. It will only succeed in rubbing the stain into the carpet, making it worse. When it comes to carpet cleaning, you get what you pay for. Discount cleaners often do a quick and sloppy job. They  may leave soap and debris in your carpet, causing the damage in the long run. It's worth paying a little more for a higher quality carpet cleaning company. Remember, while carpet cleaning is expensive, you only need to have it done twice a year. When using cleaners to remove stains, find a small portion your carpet that's out of sight. Apply a small amount of cleaner here. Make sure the cleaner does not damage your carpet before using it on other areas of your home.

Power is sexy. If you have power, people are attracted to you. They admire it, and if possible try to get into bed with power. This is because it creates a way of owning power without having to take responsibility for it and most people crave this.   Speak highly of yourself. Don’t downplay your accomplishments, jobs, or lifestyle. A touch of modesty will go a long way, but be sure to show self-assurance. Getting stuck in a dead-end job is bad for your morale, and worse for you sex life. You might not be in your dream job, location, or situation now, but show that you’re working toward it. Getting stuck in a dead end job shows that you have no interest in your goals. Think more highly of yourself, gain confidence, and exude sex appeal. Don’t stare, but keep eye contact because it shows confidence and comfort.  Direct eye contact doesn’t mean stare. If you catch yourself doing so, look away sheepishly. Have eye contact when words are being spoken but don’t scare someone off by eyeing them nonstop. Even make eye contact as you walk through the room. Glance around and catch the gaze of your peers. To show your power at work, dress in a way that demands all eyes turn to you.  ”Fit” is everything. If your work requires you to wear a suit, be sure to get one that fits. It should hug your body, but not squeeze it. All jackets should be able to button closed, and you should be able to sit easily in all of your skirts or pants. Keep it appropriate. The best way to access this is to look around at your peers. Notice what they’re wearing and keep it as covered as they do. Women, if your bra or panty line is showing at work, it is inappropriate. Men, if you can’t sit without getting a “plumber’s crack,” go get some new pants. Throw in a pop of color. Although work environments are often filled with black and gray suits, if you like color, show it off! Keep the black suit but throw on a bright top. This will help get you noticed.  Stick to one brightly colored piece, it can be overwhelming and unprofessional if you dress...

Power metal comes in many varieties, so when you're first getting started it's a good idea to listen to a lot of power metal and find out what you like best and what you hope to make yourself. Different styles of power metal use different types of instruments and different arrangements to give their songs unique qualities. Some varieties of power metal music include:  Traditional power metal, which features a basic line up of guitars, drums, bass, and vocals Folk power metal, which flavors the traditional mix with acoustic instruments Thrash power metal, which features hard-chugging thrash rhythms Viking power metal, which features legitimate beards and Norse mythology in the lyrical content Above all, power metal should inspire grand, sweeping visions of fantastical realms, huge, dramatic surges of emotion, and jumbo-sized imagery. In a word, it should be epic. This is one of the characteristics that sets it from many of the other metal genres. When making power metal songs, go big or go home. Your song might find inspiration in any of the following:  Lord of the Rings-style fantasy landscapes and characters Wizards and warlocks Ragnarok and other Norse mythology Sci-fi, H.R. Giger, and H.P. Lovecraft Biblical mythology Power metal songs--like most other kinds of music--probably start from a relatively simple guitar part, chord sequence, or chorus line. It's not often that you'll build a song around a tapping solo. That comes later.  Write a chorus on the piano or acoustic guitar, perhaps in a minor key. Gradually start adding melodic complexity, but don't start adding instruments until you've got the basic melody down, at least for the chorus. You can add more complex parts later. Unlike black metal or grindcore, power metal is typically pretty catchy. Make sure you've got a good fist-pumper for a chorus. Imagine all the metal heads with their fists held high.     Once you've got the chorus, start writing verses, at least trying to get a basic structure for the lyrics. Sing mumbled nonsense before trying to...

Power metal guitar solos often contain a bar or two that complements or even vaguely resembles the main riff of the song. The challenge is in invoking the memory of the main riff in the listener's mind without aping it too closely and boring the listener. Of course, this is optional - your solo doesn't have to to sound anything like the main riff at all. If you want to write solo bars that play off of the main riff, practice your solo over a recording of the main riff (or have another member of the band play the main riff while you practice your solo). Look for opportunities for counter-melody and rhythmic complexity - try to hit off-beats that the riff doesn't hit and to create interesting harmonies with the main riff. Power metal is know for extremely fast guitar playing, but what's more important than playing at top-speed is playing with control and restraint. A clean, polished solo that's slightly slower than a sloppy, rushed one will always sound better. Gradually increase your speed with time and never bite off more than you can chew when you solo on stage. The ideal power metal guitar solo is a wild, furious, virtuosic all-out musical attack. Harmonics and tapping are two techniques you can use to make your guitar "scream" and to play incredibly fast, respectively. Work on your pinch harmonic and two-handed tapping technique to give your solos extra power. Solos are a great opportunity to take musical chances and wow your audience. Solos that don't just stick to the chord tones of the song's progression are bolder and more interesting, but it takes an experienced guitar player to be able to play outside of the basic chord scales without making a solo that's ugly or discordant. Again, practice makes perfect here - run through your songs' solo sections again and again until you're able to pull off good solos in your sleep. Good power metal guitarists are incredibly talented, polished musicians, but they weren't born that way. Being able to bust out killer solos takes years of practice. Devote yourself to...

PowerPoint presentations are useful to provide an overview, a general description of a given topic.  Your presentation should not be encyclopedic.  Don’t go overboard including every little detail, citation, or factoid which may inform the conversation on the issue you’re presenting.  Too much information will burn your audience out and you’ll be left with a bunch of people more interested in lunch than in what you have to say. Keep the presentation about you, not the slideshow.  The slides are there to support what you have to say.  They should be just one part of your presentation, not the whole thing. PowerPoint presentations are at their most effective and powerful when they adopt a clean, minimalistic style.  For instance, if you have one slide whose heading is “Habitats,” with three bullet points beneath reading “Forest,” “Desert,” and “Ocean” with a description of each habitat following, you would do well to instead allocate three separate slides to the three different habitats, and include a summary and image of each on the appropriate slide. Your PowerPoint slideshow should always be designed to reinforce your verbal explanations with visual images.  Sometimes it works to put words on a screen, but generally, your text should be limited.  Do you need the graphics as a starting point from which you will explain results, trends, predictions or specific outcomes?  Are you using visuals merely to keep your audience engaged, to provide humor, and/or to accommodate diverse learning styles?  These and other relevant questions should guide your decision-making process when settling on the right number of slides for your presentation. Go through your entire presentation and ask yourself if you really need a given slide.  If the answer is no, or if you find you can deliver the info verbally instead, eliminate it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Указывайте правильное количество информации. Разделяйте сложные слайды на несколько простых. Используйте аудиовизуальные материалы только при необходимости.


Practically any grain, nut, or seed can be turned into flour. Try exotic items such as quinoa, popcorn, acorns, and peas to the more traditional options like rice, wheat, oats, and barley. Fresh, whole wheat berries, rye berries, whole oats and the like can often be found at health food stores, sold in bulk. They'll be white, russet, purple or amber-colored. And it's cheaper by volume than the pre-made stuff, too! Know what kind of flour you want to make. Want whole wheat flour? Get whole wheat berries (they don't look like berries -- that's just what they're called). Want rye flour? Get rye berries. Flour ain't no rocket science! Each kind lends itself to a different use. Spelt, Emmer and Einkorn grains are on the comeback and are healthy versions of wheat, too. For yeast breads, hard red (winter or spring) wheat is best. For breads that don't need yeast (like muffins, pancakes, and waffles), soft white is the standard choice. Spelt, kamut, and triticale work, too. If you'd like to spend hours cranking for your daily forearm workout, you're more than welcome. Or you could throw the seeds/berries/nuts/beans in your blender/food processor/coffee grinder and let it do the work for you. If you do use some sort of electric device, the higher powered it is, the finer your flour will be.  The manual mill really has one advantage: It doesn't produce any heat to damage the nutrients of the seeds. Other than that, it just takes a lot of time. The main drawback of electric mills is that they're just mills and they're a bit expensive (your cheapest one is going to run at about a couple hundred bucks).  The only downside of using a blender/food processor/coffee grinder is that it may not get you the finest quality of powder ("finest" here meaning like small, not of good quality). It all depends on the specific product you're using.

Practice any specific skills necessary for your desired job, but more importantly, practice how you interact with potential interviewers. You can practice by yourself or with others. Consider attending mock interviews hosted by colleges or career centers. They will provide you with great feedback on the impression that you give off to potential employers.  When rehearsing potential interview answers, actually say your answers out loud in front of someone, such as a friend or a career coach. This will help you prepare. Your resume should be in 12 point font and free of grammatical and mechanical errors. What you wear to an interview creates an image or perception of the type of person you are, so choosing your attire is very important when presenting yourself as the right person to hire.  Research the company to determine appropriate interview outfits. When in doubt, aim for muted colors and conservative clothing. Make sure your clothing looks neat and avoid things like scuffed shoes, runs in stockings, and Whenever you find yourself doubtful about what to wear, lean towards slightly over dressing, rather than show up looking too casual. If you don't have an appropriate outfit you can go to a department store like Nordstrom or Macy’s and ask one of the sales associates for help. Find out the history, mission statement, founder, or anything you can about the company. You may be asked related questions during your interview and you want to come across as prepared and interested in the company. You most likely will be asked why you want a job with the company you are interviewing for. Make sure you are ready with a good answer and some questions of your own. It is important to ask questions in an interview. Ask about the benefits provided by the employer, such as health insurance, vacation time, and 401k. Interviewing is a time consuming process, and you do not want to risk losing the job you have by taking too much time off to interview for other jobs. Interview only with companies that you are seriously...

Practice good sleeping habits to keep yourself at your sharpest. Being well-rested helps you stay alert and focused. Additionally, your brain synthesizes information that you picked up during the day while you sleep, so a good night's rest will help you learn and remember things more effectively. To sleep better, make sure you:  Establish a regular bedtime routine. Go to sleep and wake up at the same times each day if you can. Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and comfortable at night. Avoid using caffeine and other stimulants at least 3 or 4 hours before bedtime. Turn off all screens (such as your TV, computer, tablet, or smart phone) at least an hour before you go to bed. Spend at least half an hour unwinding before you go to bed. You might take a hot bath or shower, do some stretches, or read a bit of a relaxing book. Choose a diet that is varied and rich in healthy fats, green vegetables, dietary fiber, lean protein, and complex carbohydrates. These nutrients will not only give you the energy you need to stay alert, but can also improve the health and function of your brain. Try healthy options such as:  Fatty fish, like salmon and trout. Nuts and seeds, such as walnuts, almonds, flax seeds, or chia seeds. A variety of vegetables, including leafy greens, legumes (like peas and beans), and colorful vegetables like carrots, radishes, and sweet potatoes. A variety of fruits, such as apples (with the skin on), berries, and citrus fruits. Healthy carbohydrates, like those found in brown rice, quinoa, and whole-grain bread. Having a little caffeine—like a cup of tea or coffee with breakfast—can help you feel more alert and focused, and may even be good for your brain's health. Too much, however, can leave you feeling jittery, anxious, and ultimately less focused and clear-headed. It can also make it harder for you to get a good night's sleep. While most people have trouble thinking clearly after about 6 cups of coffee, people who are sensitive to caffeine may experience ill effects after drinking just 1 cup. Get...

TL;DR in Russian:

Взрослым следует спать 7–9 часов, а подросткам 8–10 часов каждую ночь. Употребляйте в пищу  питательные продукты. Умеренно употребляйте кофеин. Уделяйте умеренным физическим упражнениям 150 минут в неделю.


Practice makes perfect is a common saying for a reason. You will not lose your accent unless you consciously work on doing so. Take some time out of your day five days a week to work on the accent you desire to have. You should practice at least 15 minutes, but 30 minutes to an hour is ideal. Use your practice time wisely. Choose a specific thing you want to work on every time you practice. For example, use one day to work on rhythm. Even native speakers are easier to understand when they speak slowly. Do not try to speak at what is considered at a “normal” pace for natives when you are working on your accent. Speak slowly and enunciate. Finish one word and pause before you start the next. You can practice speaking slowly to your partner, a friend, family member, or even to yourself if you're nervous about speaking very slowly when out and about in daily life. Rhythm is about timing within a phrase or sentence. This mainly equates to where we place the strong or weak stress in a sentence. When learning a new accent, it is also important to learn where the stress is placed. Listen to native speakers to get an idea of the rhythm of the accent you're trying to accomplish. If you're working on English, practice where the stresses are in a sentence. For example, “That's the best thing you could've done.” Say that sentence and put the emphasis on the word “best.” Spend some time each day reading out loud in the language you're working on. Sound out each word slowly and carefully as you read. You could read the newspaper, a book, or a comic. Read whatever you like so the experience is enjoyable and productive. Saying the words in front of you out loud will help you pick up on rhythm and work on pronunciation. Choose a short speech or passage from a book. If possible, choose something that you can listen to first in the accent you're trying to accomplish. Turn on a recording device, like your smartphone, and say the passage out loud. Then, play it back to yourself when you're finished. Note what you need to work on...

TL;DR in Russian:

Тренируйтесь избавляться от акцента как минимум пять дней в неделю. Говорите медленно. Работайте над ритмом. Читайте вслух. Записывайте свою речь на диктофон. Ставьте ударение на правильные слоги. Смотрите телевизор и слушайте радио.


Practice makes perfect. Remember, practice your routine over and over and over and over. Be patient with your dancers and remain positive. Stay flexible and remain open to altering your choreography if something is not working. Don’t be afraid to accept input from others.  Go through the dance slowly at first. Pick up the pace as the dancers feel more comfortable. When practicing, be enthusiastic so when it comes to the real thing, it feels natural. Make sure you and the dancers are properly warmed-up before rehearsal. Rehearse your piece on the stage or floor you will be performing. Record your practice. Decide how your dancers will enter and exit the stage. Determine where on the floor the dancers should be at various points of the dance--alter your transitions if necessary. During this process, it is important that you step away from the stage and view the piece from the audience’s position. Make sure none of the dancers are obstructed by the building or props. After reviewing the footage from your staged rehearsal, revise your choreography. Perfect the steps and transitions. Make note of areas in which your dancers could improve--are they conveying the proper emotion? Bring your notes to rehearsal and work with your dancers to make the necessary changes. Don’t make too many alterations to the choreography. This can frustrate your dancers and lead to a stressful first performance. Make necessary changes only!

TL;DR in Russian:

Репетируйте! Репетируйте на месте выступления. Исправьте недочеты.


Practice mindfulness while eating. Mindfulness is not a diet but a way to be present while eating, break bad habits and bring awareness to habits around eating. Mindfulness encourages you to know when we are truly full and pay attention to your body’s signals that you are full. The benefit of mindfulness eating is decreases over eating meals as well as desserts.  To help with mindfulness, try something new. Often we eat the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner on a regular basis. Try to switch it up with new recipes or vegetables and meats you don't normally eat. Pay attention to each bite. This includes looking at your food, enjoying the look, savory each bite, and spending a moment after to enjoy the experience. Turn off the TV and avoid other distractions so you can enjoy each bite. Your brain needs time to register it is full after a meal. It takes time for the brain to retrieve signals from the digestive hormones. It differs from person to person, but it is recommended to wait 20 to 30 minutes before eating dessert. If you find that you are craving sweets, try an alternative activity that alleviates your emotional triggers or helps provide that break between a meal and something sweet. If you are bored and you want to grab that bag of candy just to fill the time, try one of these other activities:  Take a walk Try mediation Write in a journal Chew sugar-free gum Another strategy for avoiding sweets is to limit access to temptation. This could be removing it completely or putting it out of sight.  Research shows that removing items or at least making it harder to access them decreases consumption. It provides more time to think about if you really, really need or want the sweet. You can try:  Throwing away all sweets and sugar in your house. Hide sweet items on the top shelf making it harder to reach. Place healthier items in sight, such bowl of fruit on the counter instead of a cookie jar.

TL;DR in Russian:

Практикуйте сознательное потребление пищи. Сделайте перерыв перед десертом. Найдите альтернативную деятельность. Ограничьте доступ.


Practice on a low beam, or even a line on the floor until you feel confident; falling from a great height can hurt badly. If you're on a high balance beam and feel like you're about to fall, just jump off, it's better to be safe then sorry when you're on a balance beam. Before you get up on a balance beam or tightrope, let your mind flow and concentrate on balancing by repeating "balance" in your head. Good concentration will lead to fewer falls. Always place a mat or something squishy under you, just in case you do fall. Pointing your toes is a wonderful way for you to not fall, because it stiffens your calf muscles as you walk on the beam.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните потихоньку. Задействуйте ваши руки. Сосредоточьтесь. Подстелите несколько матов на местах возможного падения. Тяните носочки стоп.


Practice open body language by smiling at him as he speaks. Keep your arms relaxed and not crossed or tense. Don’t hide your hands when you talk to him. Exposing your hands and wrists to him so he can see the soft skin on your arms is actually proven to be very attractive to men. Head tilting shows you are interested and engaged in him. Avoid looking over his head, around the room, or down at your phone. This will only show him you aren’t interested. Leaning towards him is a nonverbal way of telling him you are engaged. This works well if you are in a group of people, but you want to single him out to let him know you’re interested in him. Leaning towards him will also subconsciously pull him towards you. When we are attracted to someone, blood will flow to our face, causing our cheeks to turn red. This is actually an evolutionary way that your body tries to attract the opposite sex. So blushing in front of the guy will let him know you are attracted to him and send him a signal he will definitely recognize. The positioning of your feet reflect your attitude towards someone. So if your feet are pointed towards him, this is a sign of attraction. If your feet are pointed towards the exit, this may be a sign to him that you are not interested. How you hold your purse when you are with a guy can actually be a form of nonverbal communication. For example, if you are clutching your purse tightly or placing it in front of your body, this shows you are uncomfortable and nervous. But holding your purse loosely at your side or not at all shows you are attracted to him and are relaxed in his presence.

TL;DR in Russian:

Улыбайтесь этому парню и старайтесь выражать свою открытость и дружелюбие. Наклоните голову и посмотрите прямо на него, когда он разговаривает с вами. Немного наклонитесь к нему. Не бойтесь покраснеть при нем. Расположите ноги так, чтобы они были направлены в сторону этого парня. Не стоит крутить в руках кошелек или сумочку.


Practice telling a story a few times before you tell it to other people. Then practice the story with a few people that don't matter much before telling it to anyone important. You want to be comfortable telling the story and get a good feel for when to add in dramatic pauses, and when to engage that big, building tone of excitement. Make sure you know the story backwards and forwards and then focus when you're telling it. This is to help keep you from missing details that are important. It also helps keep the story consistent across tellings, which is important if someone is likely to hear the story more than once. Don't turn your stories into "fish stories". You know the ones: where each time you tell it it gets more dramatic and more epic, and the details change to become more mythic and characters become less and less real. Listeners tune out when they hear you tell a story like this. Reel that fish back in and keep your story feeling authentic if you want people to enjoy it. You want to tell your story and a good place and time if you can. Even the best story can be ruined if you have to stop constantly because of distractions. Make sure the environment isn't too distracting or noisy. If someone tries to steal the focus of attention, direct it right back to you. A listener's experience of a story gets even better if they are able to interact and join in the experience. You can ask your audience questions or find other ways for them to interact with the story, if you really want to step up your storytelling. The most important skill to work on is being able to respond to your audience. If they start to get bored, wrap or step it up. If they're really enjoying a particular part, build on that. If they're laughing, give them room to laugh. It's tricky, but telling your story around the experience of your audience will make you a storyteller that no one will soon forget.

TL;DR in Russian:

Тренируйтесь. Запомните свою историю. Не приукрашивайте. Контролируйте обстановку. Допускайте участие. Чувствуйте аудиторию.


Practice the piece without any regard to time at first. Once you know the notes and chords and have a good grasp on the order they are played, then you can begin to focus on performing the piece at the appropriate rhythm. Slow practice will make for fast playing.  Set your metronome to 60 or 80 BPM to begin with. Listen to the metronome for a few moments before you begin playing. You may want to tap your feet or watch the metronome to help you keep the time with your internal clock. Music is never equally difficult throughout the entire piece. Some spots will give you more trouble than others. Use the metronome at a slow speed and take it one note at a time until your hands become more familiar with required movements. You can also try adding in the notes one at a time to work out a trouble spot. Begin with just the first note of the piece. Play the note again, then add the second note. Stop. Start again with the first 2 notes and add the third note, and so on. Continue until you reach the end of the piece. Once you feel comfortable and confident playing the piece slowly, increase the tempo. Small increases are the best. Stick to about 5 BPM above the previous setting. Go through the piece until you are comfortable with performing at the higher speed. Then, increase the speed again. Keep raising the tempo slowly until you can perform the song at full speed. Make sure to play consistently with the metronome rather than faster or slower or you may learn to play certain parts of the piece at the wrong pace. Once you feel you have mastered a piece of music, you can try practicing the piece along with the metronome. You may not areas where your performance was not as even as you believed it to be. Work on those areas some more to become a better musician.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выучите нотный текст, прежде чем играть с метрономом. Начинайте с низкой скорости. Сфокусируйтесь на проблемных участках. Ускорьте метроном. Проверьте себя.


Practice, practice, practice! To improve your singing voice, it is important to practice every day. Think of singing as an exercise for a voice. If you take a long break from exercising, you’ll be a sweaty, panting mess next time you try to exercise again. Even if you only have time to practice warm-ups in the car on the way to work, that is okay. If possible, set aside specific times every day for practice. It's best to practice for multiple short sessions than a single long session. For instance, practice from 9-9:15, 11-11:15, and 1-1:15 every day. Instrumentalists may be able to practice for hours at a time, but that isn’t the case for singers. An overused, strained voice is not a happy voice. Try to practice anywhere between 30 and s60 minutes a day. You should not practice for more than 60 minutes. If you’re feeling ill or tired, give your voice some more downtime. Do not push yourself if you feel that you can’t practice for 30 minutes. Spend the time you do practice wisely and intentionally so you can get a lot done within 10-15 minutes. There are also a few at-home vocal training courses out there, such as Singing Success, Sing and See, Singorama, and Vocal Release. They are not as pricey as in-person vocal lessons, but be sure to do your research to see which ones have worked for other singers. If you are dedicated to singing, consider taking professional lessons. Find a vocal coach or qualified voice teacher who can help you become the singer you want to be. Check with your local music store or your school music teacher for trustworthy references. Lessons can be costly. Consider how important singing is to you before signing up for lessons. If you cannot afford a teacher, or do not want the dedication that comes with hiring a professional voice coach, consider joining a local choir. You might associate choirs with church, but you can find them across a number of different organizations. Choirs are a great way to learn about singing and meet cool people who share your love for music at the same time....

TL;DR in Russian:

Ежедневно уделяйте время пению. Учитесь пению бесплатно. Приобретите курс домашнего пения. Возьмите уроки у профессионала. Присоединитесь к местному хору. Следите за прогрессом.


Practice, practice, practice. That’s the mantra of famous artists across the world, and practice is the sure-fire way to improve your drawings. Even spending a few minutes a day on sketch engages your brain with your art and helps you learn new techniques. If you always have a small notebook with you, then you open up the possibility to draw anything – from people on the bus the nature scenes to awe-inspiring city skylines. You need to practice to be a better drawer, so set yourself up to practice anytime. Pencils come in a variety of ratings that tell you how hard they are and the thickness of the mark. Pencils labeled “H” get progressively harder, and leave fine, faint lines, while those labeled “B” are good for thick, darker lines.  A decent set of starter pencils, available at any art store, might include a 4H, 3H, 2H, H, HB , B, 2B 3B and 4B.  Play around with your new pencils to test how each one feels. Note the differences in the lines and try to incorporate different pencils into different drawings. Use a couple of pages in your sketchbook to experiment with the way your pencils lay down color, how your fingers or tissues blend colors together and how to shade simple spheres. You need to understand how your materials work to improve your drawings and use the right pencil for the right lines. Make 3-4 timelines and practice transitions. How can you use each pen to shade the line from completely black to completely white? While many young artists feel like they can teach themselves how to draw, there are a variety of techniques that can only be passed on by an experienced teacher. Spend time practicing perspective, proportions, and drawing from live models. The time spent in an art studio with an art teacher can help you find mistakes and fix them far faster than you could on your own. However, you do not need to go to classes, you can find many different classes online. So if you like to draw in the comfort of your own home, online can be cheap, expensive, or even free. Check your local art store,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Рисуйте ежедневно. Всегда носите с собой альбом для рисования. Купите различные карандаши. Поэкспериментируйте с текстурами штриховки, цветом и растушевкой. Запишитесь на уроки рисования или начните изучать теорию рисования. Срисовывайте изображения с фотографий и других картин. Рисуйте перевернутые рисунки. Изучите объект рисования, который изображаете. Купите деревянный манекен для рисования.


Practicing alone is dangerous because you cannot help yourself to safety if you pass out or begin choking or drowning. To be extra safe, make sure that your partner is CPR trained so if there's an emergency, they're able to help you out. This way you can stand or sit while going underwater. Treading water requires extra energy that uses your precious oxygen. It's also easier to get to the surface quickly in case you need air or have an emergency. If your vision begins to fade or you feel light-headed, go to the surface immediately. Risking your personal safety is not as important as a few extra seconds underwater.

TL;DR in Russian:

Тренируйтесь в присутствии другого человека. В первое время тренируйтесь на неглубокой воде. Прислушивайтесь к собственному телу.


Practicing being quiet on your own can help you be more quiet when you’re around people. One way to get some great practice being quiet is to find a hobby where you have to be quiet and preferably by yourself. Try painting, creative writing, yoga, song writing, stamp collecting, bird watching, or really anything at all that requires you to be quiet and to not say whatever is on your mind.  Reading is also great for helping you be quiet as you process the words in front of you. Try going at least an hour without saying anything while you’re pursuing your hobby. Then go two hours. Then three. Think you can go a whole day without saying a word? You may be talking a lot – some may say too much – because you feel like you have so much energy and don’t know how to release it. So, find another outlet for saying all of the things on your mind that can help you get rid of all that extra stuff going on in your head. Working out – especially running – can help you get some great exercise while getting rid of that extra energy. So can taking long walks or cooking. Find whatever works for you. Talking online only fills your life with noise and most of what you say isn’t really that important. If you really wanted to talk to your friend, you would do it over the phone or in person instead of incessantly typing away at your computer, wouldn’t you? The next time you have the urge to go on g-chat to see what your 28th best friend is up to, close your computer and go for a walk instead. Better yet, take a break from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and any other social media you may be using all too often. These sites are filled with noise, with people trying to impress each other, and with meaningless words that you may feel compelled to respond to. If you’re really addicted, then spend just 10-15 minutes a day on all of your social media sites instead of spending your time checking them every chance you get. Wouldn’t you rather hear what your closest friends have to say in person instead of hearing what perfect strangers have...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите хобби, которое требует тишины. Дайте выход энергии другими способами. Боритесь с соблазном общаться  онлайн. Отдохните от социальных медиа. Ведите дневник. Займитесь медитацией. Насладитесь природой. Выключите музыку. Всему свое время.


Practicing prudence means practicing counsel, judgement, and decisiveness. You can be prudent at home by offering counsel to family members who are arguing and using good judgement to try to settle any disputes. Use problem solving methods like active listening, rational analysis, and talking through issues to help your family members reach a compromise.  For example, maybe your siblings are having a disagreement about you should wash the dishes after dinner. Exercise prudence by suggesting that it would only be fair for the person who washed the dishes the night before to be given the night off and given the option of not doing the dishes that night. You can also use prudence to prevent more serious disputes, like a conflict involving money between family members. You may advise your family members to save all their receipts and keep a clear, up to date record on how money is being spent by each family member in the household. This can help to prevent arguments about money and spending down the road. To be prudent with your finances, make sure you keep the household finances organized and up to date by creating a budget. Keep a spreadsheet of all the household spending and costs every month, including items like rent or mortgage payments, groceries, utility bills, and cleaning expenses. You should also note any recreational spending done in relation to your home, such as decorating costs or maintenance costs. Being prudent with your finances will help you to prevent overspending every month and ensure you are aware of where your money is going every month. This will then allow you to make solid judgement calls about how to best use your income to cover your household expenses and manage your money. Make sure you are paying all your bills on time every month, from your utility bills to your credit card payments. Exercising prudence in terms of bills will ensure your finances are in order and you do not fall behind on your monthly expenses.  To help you be prudent with credit card payments, you may consider...

TL;DR in Russian:

Решайте проблемы с домочадцами, используя критическое мышление, и старайтесь разрешать все конфликты конструктивно. Займитесь домашним бюджетом. Вовремя оплачивайте счета и возвращайте долги. Откладывайте деньги каждый месяц на депозитный счет.


Practicing what some doctors call "scent therapy" can engage new receptors in your nose, improving your sense of smell over time. Choose several strong smells that are pleasant to you and spend a few minutes every day sniffing each one. After a few weeks, your nose will be able to pick up on these smells more easily. When you start noticing a difference, practice with more smells.   Essential oils are very useful tools when it comes to scent therapy. Chose 3 or 4 oils with smells you like, such as lemongrass, cedar, vanilla and geranium rose. You can also use raw materials to conduct scent therapy. Gather a few small jars and fill each one with a different strong-smelling substance, such as ground coffee, dried basil leaves, a few drops of your favorite floral shampoo, and so on. Keep the lids on the jars when you aren't using them so the smells stay strong. When you conduct scent therapy, you should sniff quickly, rather than deeply inhaling each scent. This way you'll avoid scent fatigue. Another form of therapy you can try is experimenting with identifying different types of smells with your eyes closed. Practicing this over the course of a few months will enhance your ability to distinguish between different smells. Close your eyes and have someone hold different substances under your nose one at a time. See if you can identify the smells.  Start by rotating smells that are quite different, like chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon, or bourbon, orange juice and peppermint tea. As you get better at distinguishing between smells, start working with smells that are more difficult to tell apart, like strawberry, cherry and raspberry, or lemon, lime and grapefruit. When you identify and describe a smell out loud, your ability to perceive it is sharpened. Make a practice of talking about smells as you experience them. Describe them out loud using specific language, the way a wine connoisseur would talk about the characteristics of different wines. Make a point of noticing and talking about everyday smells. For...

TL;DR in Russian:

Вдыхайте сильные запахи каждый день. Закройте глаза и вдохните. Описывайте ароматы вслух. Работайте до седьмого пота. Ешьте больше цинка. Проверьте свои лекарства. Вылечите аллергию. Бросьте курить.


Practicing yoga regularly will go a long way toward helping you manage your anger long term. If you have a particularly hostile or irritable personality type, practicing regularly will help reinforce the short term benefits from merely practicing a pose once or twice or going to a class once. You need not go to a class to practice basic yoga, but you might want to go to a class in order to learn more advanced poses.  Try to go to class or practice a routine at least three times a week.  Practice for an hour to an hour and a half when possible. If you can't, even 10 to 20 minutes of yoga at a time can bring down stress levels. Sometimes it can be helpful for beginners to practice yogas with other to get the hang of the types of routines they can try. It is also helpful to assuaging anger if you are feeling the support of the group when practicing yoga. However, if you have a competitive personality, practicing in a group might undermine your efforts. For beginners and more advanced students, watching videos can help you develop a practice as they often include routines that last anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour or more. There are plenty of yogis out there with different styles such as Adriene of the YouTube channel "Yoga with Adriene" which is calm but cheerful, or more exercise focused like Brian Jones of the YouTube channel "Muscle and Mat". Adriene even has a video that demonstrates yoga for when you feel angry. Focus on the breath is a central part of yoga practice. It is essential to focus on your breath to get the most out of the yoga poses you are trying. The deeper the breath the better. Take your time, and continue the exercise until you feel calmer. Keeping a yoga journal allows you to see over time how yoga is affecting your overall anger. It can also be a place to document the pleasures and frustrations of yoga after your regular practice. In addition, writing can reduce the intensity of your anger.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разработайте регулярную практику. Запишитесь на занятия, если вы новичок. Смотрите онлайн-видео, чтобы развивать свою практику. Сосредоточьтесь на дыхании. Ведите журнал йоги или духовный дневник.


Practicing your skills will help you work out the bugs on your technique for hitting on girls, flirting, and approaching. This way, when you find a girl you’re really interested in, you’ll be a lot smoother than if you had never practiced. Consider:  Flirt casually with women you might meet at a bar. Smile to a girl walking by. Toast a woman at the bar. Then go back to having a good time with your friends. Avoid flirting or hitting on women that you know won’t be flattered or be receptive to your flirtations. Chances are there are several available women in your current social circle. They might be friends of friends or even your friends. If you sense they're attracted to you, you might want to consider showing your interest.  Don't be afraid to show your interest. If you're rejected, be polite about it. You don't want to damage your place in your social circle. Use your common sense and don't make advances toward women who won't welcome your advances. Online match services could be your ticket to finding a girlfriend. The best thing about these services is that the women you'll come in contact with are also looking for someone to date. The hard part here will be finding someone who you're interested in and is also interested in you.  Don't let rejection get you down. There are a lot of fish in the online sea. Sign up with several online services. Be honest about who you are and that you want a commitment. Any location that is frequented by a significant number of girls and where you feel fairly comfortable is a good place to start. Consider a place that is conducive to a skill of yours: music, public speaking, or a private intimate conversation. Go out and have a good time. When actively looking for a girl to ask out, try not to look nervous or withdrawn. Girls will sense this, and will automatically be weary of you. In addition, guys who stare and walk around constantly looking for women can come off as creepy. When socializing and looking for a girl to ask out, don’t hold yourself back because of your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Совершенствуйте свои навыки общения и знакомства. Найдите себе подругу в своем круге общения. Попробуйте воспользоваться знакомствами онлайн или через сайт. Подумайте, где вы могли бы познакомиться с девушкой. Старайтесь не показаться нервным или нерешительным. Заставьте себя начать разговор с девушкой. Пока вы одиноки, постарайтесь как можно чаще встречаться и общаться с девушками. Не ищите «идеальную» девушку.


Prayer can be considered a more formal way to talk to God because it is primarily rooted in religion.  However, you can choose to pray in whatever way feels comfortable to you.  While you can pray at any time and in any place, it helps to set aside specific times of the day to pray. Choose a time when you are unlikely to be disturbed and you'll be able to center yourself and pray effectively. Common times for prayer include: before meals or bed, after waking, during stressful times or periods of need, and during solo activities like exercising or a commute. Ideally, praying to God should occur in a place where you'll be able to tune out distractions during the few minutes it takes to pray. If you can't find a quiet place to pray, don't worry. You can pray on busy city buses, in the middle of crowded restaurants, and anywhere you can center yourself. You can pray while you're driving down the highway, as long as you stay focused on the road while you pray. As you get ready to pray, some people like to take a few minutes to prepare the space and the self for communicating with God. The way that you choose to prepare for prayer will largely be up to your own personal preferences and/or religious traditions. Some common practices might include: reading a few applicable verses of a religious text, lighting candles or incense, performing a cleansing ritual, taking communion, meditating quietly, chanting, or singing. This can be done beforehand, if there is a pressing matter happening in your life.  Or it can be determined as you pray.  You could use prayer as a means to have a casual conversation with God about daily happenings or current events.  Here’s an example, “God, today is my first day of class.  I’m really nervous, but also excited.  I pray that everything goes well today.” You could use prayer as a way to confess or get something off your chest, or you could pray for a request or a need.  “God, I feel horrible that I gossiped about a coworker.  I’m afraid she’s found out, and I don’t know what to do to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выделите специальное время для молитвы. Найдите спокойное место. Подготовьтесь к молитве. Выберите, о чем будете молиться. Молитесь так, как это естественно для вас. Молитесь вместе с другими.


Prayer is vital throughout all parts of this process. Thank God for the worship session after it passes, even when things did not go the way you would've liked. Ask God for guidance as you reflect on the service and plan for next time. Shortly after the service ends, write a few notes for yourself about what did and did not work. Use these notes to as you plan for future worship sessions.  A few things you might need to work on may include diction, volume, and pitch. You may not know how you'll sound in the sanctuary until you actually lead worship there once or twice. Make adjustments to the way you speak as needed to compensate for things like echo and poor acoustics. If others critique you or make suggestions, listen to them humbly and with an open mind.  Some of the advice others give may not be practical, but some of it will be. Make sure that you're able to honestly distinguish the difference between helpful criticism and destructive criticism without letting your ego get in the way. Learning from your mistakes and mishaps is great. Dwelling on those problems and allowing them to negatively taint your thinking is not so great. Think about ways to correct mistakes of the past and let go of those errors as soon as you make plans to avoid them. Flaws and mistakes often serve as helpful reminders to keep yourself humble. Those imperfections can also remind the people you're leading that all of us are only human. If you accept your own faults gracefully, you can encourage those watching you to do the same.

TL;DR in Russian:

Больше молитесь. Делайте записи. Отпускайте ошибки прошлого.


Prayer plants are shallow-rooted plants. So, if they are planted in a deep container with too much soil below its roots, the soil stays soggy for too long and they will develop root rot. If you are potting your plant, always use a container with drain holes so the water can drain from the roots and the soil. You can hang or set your prayer plant near a window where it will get indirect sunlight. Never set your plant in direct sunlight as the sun will bleach the plant's leaves. Find a corner where direct light cannot reach the plant and hang it so it gets proper light exposure and grows properly.  Proper light exposure results in a prayer plant with rich, green stems and colorful leaves. If your plant does not get enough light, the stems will grow long and spindly as they will naturally reach for more light. As prayer plants are tropical plants, they do not thrive when temperatures dip too far below 70 °F (21 °C). Colder temperatures and dry air will cause the prayer plant's leaves to shrivel and turn brown. Temperatures hotter than 75 °F (24 °C) can result in fewer leaves and long, spindly stems.  Increase the humidity in the room with a humidifier or set a pan or dish filled with pebbles and water below the plant to increase the room's humidity. Do not put the prayer plant near heating or cooling vents or doorways where it will be exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts.

TL;DR in Russian:

Высаживайте растение в неглубоком горшке с дренажными отверстиями. Поставьте горшок с растением в таком месте, где оно будет защищено от воздействия прямых солнечных лучей. Подвесьте растение к потолку комнаты, которая выходит на запад или юг. Поддерживайте температурный режим в комнате около 19–24 °C и подходящую влажность.


Praying out loud is difficult for some people and praying for 30-60 minutes can feel awkward at first. It takes practice. Keep working at your prayers and the group will grow together and become stronger. You want people to feel comfortable praying so the meeting should be flexible and intentional. Create an open environment for those who attend the meeting so that they can pray with their whole hearts and minds. This will also help to get everyone to participate. Even though children may have shorter attention spans they can be easily included in prayer meetings. Oftentimes children will pray out loud and fully participate in the meeting, bringing energy to the prayers in their youth. When God answers your prayers you should be grateful and express thanksgiving. Always express these feelings as a group as part of your prayer meetings. Spend some time together after the meeting. You can have snacks or dinner such as pizza and ice cream. This brings the group together and gets the kids excited.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проявляйте терпение. Не препятствуйте спонтанности. Приглашайте детей, если это уместно. Будьте благодарными. Празднуйте проведение молитвенных собраний.


Pre-sale inspections aren't extremely common, but what a way to show hesitant buyers that your home is in top form, especially if the report is made available during open houses. On the other hand, discovering potential problems ahead of time will allow you to handle them without scaring off your potential buyer. The internet changed the way that houses were bought and sold. No longer did prospective home buyers need to physically visit the house to find out what it was like. Today, many potential home buyers weed out listings they don't want to invest time in online, and then visit the ones in person that look intriguing. Promoting your home's unique qualities online is a great way to generate more leads. If you can, borrow a nice DSLR or rent a wide-angle lens on the cheap for a couple of days. It should cost you something like $20 - $50 to rent for a couple days. Take pictures of your house on a bright and sunny day, after all your clutter has been cleared away. Pictures of a bright room on a sunny day will make your house look bigger and more inviting. Choose wisely! Ask friends, family, and coworkers if they have any references for top agents. Do your homework, visit websites, and find out which agents know your community best. The agent you choose should not only have extensive market knowledge, but should also be honest and personable. Everyone likes a little goody bag. It makes us feel special and reassured that the person we're buying the home from is looking after us. Best of all, it's relatively easy to do. However, don't offer anything before looking at the market. If you are getting multiple offers on your house, there's no need to offer something extra. Here are some ideas of small extra things that you can do to incentivize buyers to pull the trigger:  Offer a little bit of credit to cover the closing costs, or — better yet — offer to pay them entirely. For a buyer who is financing the home this is usually between 3.5-4% of the asking price. A buyer who is not financing the home could have...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проведите инспекцию. Используйте силу интернета. Если вы решите использовать лицензированного агента, выберите правильного. Предлагайте покупателям что-то большее. Не бойтесь распространять информацию.


Preferably, ask a peer to read and give you feedback on your proposal. Perhaps they agree. If they do not, think about their objections. If you think they are valid and perhaps override your proposal, consider revision. Instead, if you see the validity of their points but disagree, add their sentiments to your objection section. Once you have crafted your proposal and have had a friend read it, revise it for flow, grammar, accuracy, and word count. You do not want too long of a proposal or your managers might not read it! Aim for one to two pages if possible. After you feel your proposal is ready, determine to which person you should submit it. In some organizations, it is clear who is in charge and makes decisions. In other companies with more lateral structures, it can be trickier to know who the real decision-makers are. Do a bit of background research into your firm to determine the right person. Once you know who that person is, see whether an in-person meeting is possible. Oftentimes, people respond to requests for change better when speaking face-to-face. Otherwise, send a paper copy or if not possible, an email.

TL;DR in Russian:

Покажите предложение сотруднику. Проверьте документ. Подайте предложение руководству.


Pregnancy is a unique experience that you may want to record, but not share with the world. A traditional journal gives you the space to unplug from the digital world and focus on your current experiences. Each journal has a different style, feel, and focus, but they all give you space to record your private thoughts and experiences. You can document your pregnancy in real time using your preferred devices, easily creating text and uploading videos and pictures.  You may want to digitally share this special time in your life with loved ones who aren't nearby.   You might also be looking to connect with women who are having the same experiences as you. Most digital journals are free and give you the option to download an eBook or PDF once it's complete. This is a great option if you want to document your journey in a creative way. There are many templates available online, but all you really need is a blank scrapbook, acid-free paper, tape, and your imagination. You can add as many details, experiences, and mementos as you would like without constraints. Each trimester has moments that should be captured, as each will bring unique transformations. Mark your calendar and use it to keep track of important moments such as:  When you found out that you are pregnant When you told your parents When you first saw a doctor The first date you felt your baby move The day you found out the gender of your baby

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы хотите когда-нибудь передать этот дневник своим детям, лучше выбрать традиционный бумажный вариант. Если вам важны удобство и доступность, лучше выбрать электронный дневник. Создайте свой собственный журнал или альбом. Разделите дневник по триместрам.


Pregnancy is scary for teens. As you move forward with your teen's pregnancy, allow her to vent to you. She should be able to come to you with fears, frustrations, and concerns throughout the process of making a decision about the pregnancy. Listen to what she has to say without judgment and allow her to feel what she's feeling, good or bad. After you discuss your teen's pregnancy with her, you'll need to help her form a plan. Essentially, she has 3 options: keeping the baby, giving it up for adoption, or having an abortion. Help her weigh the pros and cons of each option so she can make an informed decision she will be comfortable with.  If there is a health center for teens in your area, you may want to take your teenager there to talk to a doctor or counselor. You may not have all the necessary information about abortion, adoption, and teen pregnancy at your disposal. Remember, allow your teen to make her own decision. Even if you have your own strong feelings about the situation, this is your daughter's baby. She needs to make a decision that sits well with her. In the event your daughter decides to carry the baby to term, it's important you get her prenatal care. You'll need to have regular prenatal visits with a doctor to monitor the baby's health. You'll also need to stock up on prenatal vitamins and work on establishing a healthy diet and exercise routine. Make an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible if your daughter decides to keep the baby. This way, your daughter and her doctor can develop a health and lifestyle plan for the baby's wellbeing. If your daughter wants to keep the baby, help her confront the difficult questions. There are a lot of factors to consider during a teen pregnancy. Guide your daughter as she makes a variety of decisions regarding her baby. Talk about questions such as:  What role will the father play in the baby's life? Will he and your daughter stay together as a couple? Where will your daughter live after the baby is born?  Will your daughter finish high school or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Давайте дочери выговариваться, когда потребуется. Продумайте план. Найдите гинеколога для дочери. Помогите дочери разобраться со сложными вопросами. Найдите психотерапевта.


Pregnant females are extremely sensitive to disruption, and if they feel stressed, they are highly likely to harm the babies when they are born. Having a human feel her belly is definitely stressful to a female hamster, so it puts the health of the babies at risk. Be extra sure that your hamster's diet is nutritionally sound to ensure the health of the babies. Feed a diet she is familiar with, as sudden changes could upset her stomach. However, an ideal diet is pelleted rat or mouse chow since she cannot selectively eat around the healthy (but less tasty) bits.  Very small quantities of milk and cheese provide calcium for the done development of the litter, and they also help the mother in lactation once the babies are born.  As an additional protein source, you can feed your hamster moderate amounts of hard-boiled egg, nuts, barley, and oats.  Though you must provide them in very small amounts (or risk gastrointestinal problems), pregnant hamsters can benefits from the additional vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables, such as broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower, apples, grapes, bananas, and strawberries. Female hamsters like to be left completely alone at least a couple of days before giving birth. This means that by day thirteen after mating, you should not even interfere with her cage or bedding. Be as careful as possible when putting fresh food in with her as well. Failure to do this could lead to cannibalization of the newborn babies. Since you may not have any idea when the mother mated, consider that she usually starts “showing” the pregnancy around day ten after mating. In addition to a stressed mother hamster potentially cannibalizing her litter, other hamsters kept in the same cage can lead to the same result. To ensure the safety of the baby hamsters, begin housing other hamsters you have in separate cages as soon as you know for sure that the mother is pregnant. If hamsters kept in the same cage begin fighting despite usually getting along, this is also a sign that one of them may be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Никогда не прикасайтесь к животу самки, чтобы потрогать малышей. Во время беременности кормите самку питательным кормом. Предоставьте самке покой примерно с тринадцатого дня после спаривания. Держите остальных хомяков в отдельных клетках. Не прикасайтесь к малышам в первые две недели. Переставьте поилки пониже. Начните давать молодым хомячкам твердые корма примерно с 7–10-го дня. Если мать отказалась от потомства, немедленно отнесите малышей к ветеринару.


Pregnant women do not menstruate during the course of their pregnancies. If you miss a period, that is usually the most obvious indicator that you are pregnant. Nonetheless, you can miss periods for other reasons, such as stress or even overexercising.  If you don't already, get in the habit of keeping track of your menstrual cycle so that you can better detect a late or missed period. All you need to do is mark when you start and end your period on the calendar. That way, you can see how your cycle generally runs. There are also mobile apps that make it convenient and easy to track your cycle. Because of the hormones released in early pregnancy, you may notice some changes in your breasts. They may swell slightly or be somewhat sore to the touch. You may also notice that your breasts feel "fuller" or heavier. Your nipples may feel swollen, painful, or tingly. You may have spotting when the newly fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the uterus. Implantation usually happens within a week to a week and a half after fertilization. This symptom can last for about 3 months. Spotting is usually lighter in color than your menstrual blood. You may also notice some cramping early on. Mostly, these should feel like they do when you have your period. However, if they are heavy or if you notice that they are pinpointed on one side of your body, it can be a sign of a complication. Call your doctor if you suddenly experience severe cramps. Many women feel extremely tired in the early stages of pregnancy. This symptom is usually attributed to increased progesterone levels. It may also be caused by the fact that your body is producing more blood to account for the baby. You may notice this symptom as early as 1 week after conception. Another early sign of pregnancy is frequent urination. When you become pregnant, your body produces more human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone. This hormone, which is highest in the first few weeks you are pregnant, pushes more blood to your groin area. In turn, you need to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на ваш менструальный цикл. Следите за изменениями вашей груди. Обратите внимание на кровянистые выделения из влагалища. Обратите внимание на судороги.

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill, preparing separate areas for direct and indirect heat.  If using a gas grill, turn on two sets of burners (the front and rear or the left and right) to medium-high heat. Leave the middle burner off. If using a charcoal grill, position piles of hot coals on each side of the grill but leave the middle section clear. Remove any ties and cut out the backbone of each quail using sharp kitchen scissors. Use your hand to push down along the length of body until it lies flat. Keep the quail flat as it cooks by inserting two skewers along the width of the body. Both skewers should go through both legs. Coat the quails with olive oil or melted butter, then rub the surface of each with salt and black pepper. When grilling the quail, the skin should brown easily regardless of whether you use butter or oil. Either way, however, you should distribute the fat evenly over all sides of the bird using a basting brush or spoon. Place each quail breast-side down on the hot side of the grill. Cook the quails for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the first side is thoroughly browned. Avoid turning, flipping, or otherwise moving the birds as they brown. You'll need to keep them relatively still to adequately sear in the juices. Flip the quails to the back-side and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, allowing this other side to brown, too. Note that the quail should still be positioned over the hot side of the grill during this step. Once both sides are browned, move the birds to the middle or indirectly heated section of the grill. Continue cooking them for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the meat feels slightly firm and the juices run clear.  Keeping the grill lid closed during this time will hold in more heat. You should be able to rotate and flip the quails over as they cook during this step without disrupting the cooking process. Remove the cooked quails from the grill and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.  Transfer the birds to a serving dish and place a loose tent of aluminum foil over...

Preheat it to 300ºF(150ºC). If you don't want to make your bananas completely black, set your oven to the lowest setting instead. This will normally be about 170°F (77°C). Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper to catch leaks from the mushy bananas. Place unpeeled bananas on this sheet. Don't crowd them, as you want the warm air to circulate. Turn the oven light on so you can keep an eye on the bananas. Watch the bananas blacken, and check on them after the first 15 minutes to see if they've softened. If they don't seem soft after 30 minutes, you might want to try them for another ten. Once your bananas are out, you can poke them gently with a spoon to see if they're soft. Wait until they're cool enough to handle before adding them to your banana bread ingredients. If you're not ready to use them yet, you can store them in your fridge without losing any flavor. Cut off the tip of the peel with a pair of scissors, then squeeze the banana from the bottom to push out the fruit. Alternatively, you can just slice the peel down the side and topple the banana out, or scoop it with a spoon.

Включите духовку. Положите бананы на противень. Запекайте 20-30 минут. Снимите с противня и дайте остыть. Добавьте бананы в блюдо согласно рецепту.
