Virgo (along with Taurus and Capricorn) are Earth signs. This means, generally, that they're very stable and resistant to change. Like the Earth! They are sturdy in their ways and know what they want and need. They're usually slow to open -- but once they do, it's permanent. Virgo is a mutable sign, meaning that these characteristics aren't tried-and-true. But if you want to place 'em all in one category, you'll find that they're generally solid people -- grounded, have a foundation upon which they build everything (thought or planning), and at their best when they're balanced. Virgos are often caught up in their heads. Because of this, they can get a little out of touch with reality, resulting in an unconscious tendency toward insecurity. When this time pops up, he may need reassurance. When he's acting inhibited with you, let him know that that's unneeded (not with your words, necessarily). Be overly welcoming. He may need that extra push. Take this and value it. Instead of wishing he were more open and confident, realize that this quality makes him down-to-earth, modest, loyal, and way less of a showy megalomaniac than the sign that precedes him, Leo. This sense of insecurity that flares up on occasion can be a relief! Because he notices every little detail, many people can think of him as a know-it-all. He takes one look at your pie charts and tells you they're 1% off. Not only does he notice it, but he says something about it too. This can be irksome if you don't realize he's just trying to make everything the best it can be. And why shouldn't it be? The good thing about Virgo is that if you know your stuff too, he can take it! He is open to debate and loves talking about things he's learned and experienced. So the next time your Virgo corrects you on something, don't hesitate to say, "No! I did it this way on purpose!" and explain why. Virgo, as described earlier, doesn't jump to anything -- from relationships to conclusions. He needs to plan everything out -- how else would he know if it's perfect and,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте, он - знак Земли. Знайте, ему может понадобиться подтверждение. Не думайте, что он знает все. Поймите его сомнительность, перед действием. Знайте, что он практичный и не ждите от него поэтичности.


Virgo's mind is running, running, running all the time. ALL THE TIME. She's constantly nit-picking at something, including herself. She needs someone who can help calm her down, to be her rock. If you can do this, there will be no way she can let you go.  When you see her thinking, ask her what's going on. If she doesn't open up, don't leave. She may just be feeling the waters or uncomfortable asking for assistance. Let her know you're there if and when she needs you. When you get to know her well, odds are you'll have a grip on at least a few of the reasons she's worried. Try to make her plate less full by picking up the slack. Does she need to run errands? Clean the house? What can you help her with that gives her more time to relax? Because her mind is running all the time, she notices every detail in the book. If something is a bit off, rest assured she'll take note. So when your shirt is a bit wrinkled in the back, she notices. When your spice cabinet isn't organized, she notices. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, but it is something she will remark on in her head. Things may take a bit longer with her because of this. Though Virgo will always be punctual, she probably knows by now to allot more time for specific endeavors. If she's the creative type, she could be devoted to her art for days until its just right. She's a modern-day Goldilocks! Virgos are natural outdoorsy people. If you want to see her grin, get her outside. Take her on a picnic or go hiking. Rent a paddle boat and float on a lake. She's not the type to complain about the weather or need her hair to look perfect at every second. Get her outdoors and give her a memory to cherish forever! Virgo doesn't believe in kissing and telling and wearing her heart on her sleeve all the time. Sure, there will be times when she feels like opening up, but more often than not, assume she wants to stay reserved. Keep the PDAs to minimum -- you'll have time to be affectionate at home. Sometimes Virgo is quiet about her emotions, too. If you want to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте ей меньше переживать. Справляйтесь с ее перфекционизмом. Возьмите ее на природу. Знайте, что она может быть довольно скрытной. Держите слово. Компромисс. Будьте верны ей.


Virgos are not passionate, ready-to-jump-into-bed creatures. They like to know exactly what they're getting into. The will not get caught up in a whirlwind of romance. So be friends first! Show him that you're the real deal and his interest will spark. The traditional Virgo man needs a woman who is classy. She's smart, can hold her own, and is very mature for her age. She has her act together. She's not one for gossip or trivial small talk just to hear her own voice. Don't try to get him to lust after you (the Virgo man knows that's a dime a dozen); get him to see you as a person worthy of his respect. Don't show him pretty lip gloss, well-timed hair flips, and batting eyelashes. Show him you. Show him a person that's awesome and that knows she's awesome. Be real with him. That's the only way you can truly gain his respect and loyalty.    The Virgo man isn't the most direct, gutsy sign there is, to say the least. You may need to give him some not-so-subtle hints that you're into him. He may need to know it's a sure thing before he takes any action. Can you blame him? No one likes rejection! Virgo is just as responsive to looks as he is to touch. So instead of touching him on the arm like every girl does, give him that look that screams, "Kiss me." You'll have him melting in no time flat.    If there's one thing this guy is, it's a perfectionist. He notices every little detail and expects it. He makes sure his linen closet is arranged by color, size, date purchased, and thread count. He can tell when picture frames aren't exactly centered, when a curry is missing the right amount of spice. This has its ups and downs -- so concentrate on the ups! He's the type of person that will notice if you've gained half a pound. He's the type that will look at your hair and tell you when one strand is out of place. Give him the benefit of the doubt -- he's just trying to make everything perfect. He's also the type of guy who will make sure your time together is just how you want it. That makes up for those nitpicky...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы запали на мужчину , Деву по знаку зодиака, сначала станьте его другом. Пусть он вас уважает. Не ходите вокруг да около. Приготовьтесь стать идеальной. Все будет по высшему классу.

Virtually all exfoliating foot peels feature plastic booties that contain all of the ingredients inside so you can easily keep them on your feet for the duration. To use the peel, remove the booties from the box and use a pair of scissors to cut them open where indicated.  The peel booties are always sealed when you purchase them so the ingredients don’t leak out before you use them. It’s best to cut the booties open one at time and place the opened bootie on your foot before opening the next bootie. That way, none of the peel liquid will seep out while you’re trying to secure the booties. After you’ve cut open the booties, slip them over your feet as you would with regular socks. The booties contain adhesive tabs that help secure them closed over your feet, so pull off the tabs and fasten them around your feet. The adhesive tabs usually aren’t that strong, so you may prefer securing them to your skin rather than the plastic material. Your skin has more texture than the plastic, which can make it easier for the adhesive to stick. It is extremely difficult to walk around with the plastic booties on your feet because you can slip easily. To make them more comfortable to wear and easier to move around in the booties, add a pair of regular socks over them on your feet. It’s best to use a tighter pair of socks because they can help keep the acids in the peel in contact with your skin more effectively than the plastic booties will alone. When the booties are fully secured on your feet, leave them on for an hour or as directed by the peel’s instructions. It’s best to stay off your feet while wearing the booties to avoid slips and falls, so you may want to use the hour to relax. If your feet are extremely dry, you may want to leave the booties on for longer than an hour. Wearing the peel for up to two hours may lead to more effective exfoliation.

Virtually all external hard drives use a USB cable to connect to your computer, but you may find that your computer doesn't have a traditional rectangular USB port.  Mac computers and some Microsoft computers use oval USB-C ports instead of traditional USB 3.0 ports. Likewise, it's good to know if your external hard drive uses a USB-C cable when your computer only has USB 3.0 ports. If your computer has a USB-C port instead of a USB 3.0 port, you'll need to buy a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter for your computer. You can find these online or in some tech stores (e.g., Best Buy). This will usually be the USB end of the cable. The USB connector should only fit one way, so don't force it if it doesn't fit; instead, rotate it 180 degrees and try connecting it again. If you're using an adapter, first connect the end of the adapter that fits in your computer to your computer, then plug the end of the external hard drive's cable into the free end of the adapter. Depending on the external hard drive, the cable may already be attached; if not, attach the free end of the cable to the port into which it fits on the external hard drive. if necessary. Depending on both the external hard drive and your computer's operating system, you may not be able to use your drive until you change its format to work with your computer.  Both Windows and Mac users can select exFAT as the file system when formatting the drive. This is ideal if you want to use your hard drive with both Windows and Mac computers. Formatting an external hard drive will erase everything on it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Viscose is a fairly fragile fiber and also one that is very vulnerable to bleeding dye. Because of this, it's easy to damage viscose rugs or cause them to bleed by simply trying to clean them. If your viscose rug has sentimental value, it may be a better idea to have the rug professionally dry-cleaned than to risk irreversible damage or dye-bleeding by cleaning it yourself. The goal of cleaning a viscose rug is essentially to get the rug as clean as possible while keeping it as dry as possible. Thus, before using any liquid detergents, it's a wise idea to try to clean your rug with methods that don't require getting it wet before trying to clean it with methods that do. Take your rug outside and shake it firmly to remove any loose dirt or dust. You may also try beating the rug against a railing or pole for added power. Next, use a vacuum to remove any ground-in dirt or sediment. Run the vacuum head over the rug several times both with and against the grain, paying extra attention to any extra-dirty spots. If you can, use a head attachment that doesn't have mechanical brushes. Viscose is fairly fragile and the rough action of mechanical brushes can easily cause it to tear. If your rug is still dirty, you may need to carefully wash it. Place the rug on a mounting board or secure it to a table you don't mind getting dirty before cleaning. Washing viscose carpeting requires some scrubbing, so you won't want the carpet to slip around on the floor while you scrub it and you definitely don't want it to bleed dye into the floor or any nearby carpeting. Heat water to a lukewarm temperature and combine with a few drops of soap or carpet detergent to create a cleaning solution. Use a soft-bristled brush (like a window-washing brush) to scrub this solution into problem areas of the rug. Avoid hard-bristled brushes or mechanical brushes, as these can easily tear the fragile viscose fibers. Be conservative with your cleaning fluid - the less moisture you use, the lower the chance of dye bleeding. It's wise to test your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Мойте коврик только в том случае, если это для вас крайне необходимо. Вытряхните коврик на улице. Пропылесосьте ковер. Убедитесь, что ковер будет надежно держаться на месте, когда вы станете его чистить. Используйте мягкую мочалку, мыло и воду. Чтобы минимизировать пожелтение, мойте его с уксусом. Снова пропылесосьте. Как вариант, вы можете обрызгать ковер разбавленным смягчителем для ткани. Сушите лицевой стороной вниз. Не кладите ковер на или рядом с другими ковровыми изделиями, пока он полностью не высохнет.


Vision problems are primarily caused by light not focusing properly in the eye. Eyeglasses help redirect the light to focus properly onto the retina. Contacts are smaller lenses that are meant to wear directly on the eye. They float on the surface of the cornea.  There are many options you can choose from, for example some contacts are daily wear (one time use), others are designed to last longer. Some contacts come in different colors and are designed for specific types of eyes. Consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate selection to meet your needs. While glasses and contacts are the more traditional method for correcting vision, the surgical method is gaining in popularity as well. There are SEVERAL different type of surgeries for the eye. However the two most common are LASIK and PRK.  In some cases surgery is suggested because contacts and eyeglasses are not effective enough to improve vision. In other cases corrective surgery is suggested as an option to wearing long term glasses or contacts. LASIK is formally known as laser in-situ keratomileusis. This surgery is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This surgery replaces the need to have contacts or eyeglasses.  The FDA has approved LASIK eye surgery to be done on patients 18 years or older with an eye prescription of at least one year. Despite this, most physicians will recommend waiting until the mid-20’s because they eye are still changing.  PRK is formally referred to as photorefractive keratectomy. It is similar to Lasik in that it also treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The age requirement for PRK is the same as LASIK. For most common eye conditions, nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia and astigmatism, medication is not used. For more serious problems your healthcare provider may prescribe a medication usually in the form of eye drops or pills. If you need further treatment seek your healthcare provider for more information.

Visit a garden-supply retailer or website. Find out which breed of mantis you’d like to keep as an indoor pet and/or introduce to your yard. Expect anywhere from 50 to 200 babies, or “nymphs,” to hatch from a single egg. Since mantises will not survive winter weather, wait for spring or summer to hatch them, once the weather has turned consistently warm. If you buy your egg case early, refrigerate it in a container that allows air to circulate. Then take it out four to eight weeks before you’d like it to hatch. Inspect the bag beforehand. Make sure there aren’t any holes or tears. Then place the case inside, fold the bag, and use a paper clip to seal it. Keep it near a window where it will receive direct sunlight. Do not use a ziplock bag or any other airtight seal, since the baby nymphs will need air. Expect the nymphs to emerge after three to ten weeks of consistent warm weather. Check inside the bag on a daily basis throughout this time. Once you see tiny nymphs crawling around inside, remove however many you wish to keep as indoor pets and release the rest outside.  Check the bag regularly, since mantises will likely eat each other if left too long on their own.  Nymphs are very small and delicate, so be careful how you handle them. Use a plastic spoon to transfer them from the bag to a potted plant. Insert the spoon into the bag and wait for them to climb on, then set the spoon on top of the plant’s soil.

Visit a local aquarium and speak to the shark keeper. These scientists will have a vast knowledge about sharks and can answer any questions and address any concerns you have about these animals. One of the best ways to overcome your fear of sharks is to swim with them. Many aquariums offer opportunities for you to swim with sharks. This puts you in a safe, controlled environment with sharks so that you can face your fears and start to unravel the fear that all sharks are killers. Go diving or snorkeling in the ocean. Diving or snorkeling can give you a clear view of the ocean, where you can see that there are very few - if any - sharks in most ocean water, while it's full of coral, reefs, and fish. If you do swim among some sharks, you will realize that most sharks are docile creatures uninterested in humans. Wade out into the water. Go swimming. Go surfing. Take a boat trip out into the ocean. Realize that being in the water isn't going to attract a shark. Don't let your fear of sharks stop you from enjoying ocean activities. When out in the water, put your hands in the water to help you get over your fears of the unknown. If swimming with sharks or going into the ocean is too much for you, start slowly. Get close to a shark by visiting your local aquarium to check out the shark exhibit. Walk right up to the glass and look into the shark's eyes. Acclimate yourself to the sharks. Watch them, see how they act around other marine life, study how they swim and move their body. Think of them as an animal instead of a monster. If you are truly afraid of getting close to a shark even behind glass, look at pictures of sharks. Watch documentaries and programs that feature the true nature of sharks instead of painting them as cold-blooded killers. Become comfortable with the reality of sharks, then slowly progress towards seeing them at the aquarium. At stores where they sell tropical fish, they may have small sharks. Ask the employees there if you can touch a baby shark. This gives you a chance to feel its skin and...

Visit a local junkyard to check out the oldest cars that are still intact, which might make good candidates. Several Rat-Rodding websites also exist with links to possibilities. Look for one that is not especially rusted, and has its essential shape is still intact. Typically, Rats are made from American cars, often pick-ups, manufactured pre-1960. Popular models for Rat Rods include:  Mid-century Chevrolet pick-up trucks '30s-era Fords, esp. the "Model A"  Early Chrysler hemi engines are popular, as well as flathead V-8s To strip it down and start fresh, that means you'll need to remove all the seats, fixtures and other accessories from the car. Typically, cars used for Rat Rods are in pretty bad shape to begin with, in terms of the interior, making this step somewhat necessary. . Position a container under the drain cock, or remove one of the fuel lines and collect any gas remaining in the gas tank. This is an essential step in prepping the car for Rodding, as you're going to be doing a lot of welding and any remaining traces of gasoline will be dangerous. Keep a fire extinguisher ready in your shop or garage at all times while you're working. Measure and mark where you want the vehicle's new axles and wheels to go, then cut the frame up to the desired length using a reciprocating saw. Since a Rat Rod is mostly about the look of the car, you'll mostly be flying by the seat of your pants anyway. It's usually common to shorten the rear of the vehicle somewhat to accommodate the axle and eliminate any elements, such as roofs or hoods, that you no longer want. Make any cuts to accommodate the drivetrain. It's also possible to build your own frame, using about 20 feet (6.1 m) of rectangular 2x4 steel tubing in the early stages, cut into two equal sections. Weld them together, patterned like a ladder, as square and as level as possible. Use one cross member toward the front, one in the back, and a crossing pattern in the middle to support the body. Match the width of the frame to the body you intend to use.

Visit a nursery to pick out a variety of lilac to grow. In addition to color, pay attention to the full-grown height of the plant. Some plants, such as Palibin' and Superba lilacs, grow into 5 to 6 - foot bushes. Others, such as Syringa reticulata, become 20 to 30 - foot trees.  You can purchase bare-root or container-grown plants from a local nursery or mail order plant supply company. Your local garden center or nursery should be able to recommend lilac varieties that do best in your area.  You can also transplant saplings, runners from a friend or neighbor's lilac bush. Dig up and transplant saplings from a friend or neighbor's lilac bush in the spring, just as leaf buds begin to form or when the newly opened leaves are still small. Choose saplings that are at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) tall. Use a shovel to dig the saplings out of the ground with as much of a root base as possible. Cut the runners with the shovel blade to separate the sapling from the parent plant. Lilacs need full sun, so find a spot that receives at least 6 hours of sun each day and has good air circulation. Lilacs grown in damp stagnant air or without enough sunshine are prone to disease. Lilacs also need well-drained soil. If drainage is a problem, create a mound or raised bed for them before planting. Avoid planting lilacs too close to a wall or tree. The lilacs' roots need room to spread out. If you are planting a dormant lilac, soak the roots in tepid water for 10–15 minutes. If they are rootbound or overgrown in their pots, loosen the root ball by using your fingers to gently separate the roots. Dig a hole in the soil deep enough to bury the roots. The base of the plant should sit at ground level. After setting the lilac in the hole, fill it up halfway with soil, then water it before filling up the rest of the hole. Bring the soil level up even with the natural flare at the bottom of the base. Covering the base beyond this point could smother the roots and kill the plant.  If the soil where you live isn't very rich, add some...

Visit https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ to check the status of your plugins. If you see any Update Now buttons, click them and wait for them to update. Restart Firefox once finished. Plugins can increase CPU usage when you view videos, PDFs, or other media. Once all of your plugins are up to date, testing them is pretty easy:  Visit the Plugins tab of the Add-Ons manager. Click each drop-down menu that says "Always Activate" and set it to "Ask to Activate" instead. Browse as usual. You will see a small popup every time a plugin asks to be activated. If you say "Yes" and your CPU usage rises, that plugin is the problem. When the problem is identified, look for alternative plugins for the same format. If there are none, leave that plugin in "Ask to Activate" mode. One solution is to block media you don't want to see in the first place. Try these extensions:  If Flash causes the problem, install Flashblock. If JavaScript causes issues, install NoScript. This will take some hands-on effort at first to disable problematic scripts one by one. For a generally lower CPU load, install Adblock Plus or another ad blocker. . If all else fails, return your Firefox to default state. This will permanently delete your add-ons, but most preferences and bookmarks should remain unchanged. To do this, return to about:support and click Refresh Firefox. You may want to try the other issues below before you resort to this. If Safe Mode fixed your issue, however, add-ons are almost certainly the problem.

Visit the National Climate Data Center website to find the frost data in your area.  Read the packets carefully. Seed starting times and germination rates vary greatly. Plan to plant seeds with similar growing schedules near each other. For example, corn and beans can be planted earlier than flowers. Squash do not take transplantation well, so they can be started later and planted before root systems begin to develop.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте сначала приблизительную дату последнего мороза в вашем регионе. Запланируйте посев большинства семян за 8 недель до начала заморозков с расчетом того, чтобы привить растение через 2 недели. Купите семена. Обдумайте последовательность высадки семян.


Visit the object you plan to yarn bomb and use a cloth tape measure to determine the dimensions of that object. You will need precise measurements to create a snug piece.  For large objects, you need to measure the width, height, and depth of the object. If the object is round, you will need to measure the circumference instead of the depth. Measure each part of the object that will be included in the yarn bomb. For instance, if you are yarn bombing a tree, measure the trunk and all of the branches you plan to use, as well as the spaces in between branches. You will also need to measure parts along the same trunk or branch where the circumference varies. Make sure that you are using a fabric measuring tape as you take your measurements. This type of measuring tape gives you greater flexibility when you measure oddly shaped objects. Sketch out the object on a sheet of paper and mark down the appropriate dimensions in the appropriate places. You can use this diagram to help you plan out how many pieces you'll need for the final work and how those pieces will fit together.  Some people find it easiest to collect the measurements before making the diagram, while others may find it easier to make the diagram first and mark the measurements down later. Work in whichever order makes sense to you. It might help to make several copies of your diagram. Doing so will allow you to sketch different design ideas without ruining or obscuring your measurements. As noted elsewhere in this article, knit and crochet pieces are the most common, but you can actually use any technique that allows you to work with yarn. Simply choose whichever technique appeals to you most.  If you are yarn bombing a three-dimensional object, like a tree, street sign, stone, or statue, it will be easiest to crochet or knit the piece. If you are yarn bombing something with a wire grid, like a fence or park bench, cross stitch and latch hook techniques will work best. Once you have the technical stuff figured out, you will need to figure out the...

Visit the toilet as soon as you feel the need for a bowel movement. Delaying the visit worsens constipation. Straining on the toilet can lead to painful complications such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Go easy on your digestive system by giving it time to move on its own. Try visiting the toilet 15–45 minutes after breakfast each day. You may not pass a bowel movement daily (even when healthy), but this is a good time to encourage it. One study shows that squatting makes bowel movements easier and faster. For people who cannot feasibly squat over their toilet, try the following:  Lean forward with your hands on your thighs. Put your feet on a step stool to bring your knees above your hips. Instead of straining, take a deep breath with your mouth open. Let your stomach expand, then tighten muscles slightly to hold it in place. Relax your sphincter. Repeat this breathing exercise no more than three times. If there's still no bowel movement, get off the toilet or pick up some reading material. Exercise can stimulate your bowels, even if it's just a 10 minute walk several times a day. Aerobic exercise such as running or swimming is particularly effective. Wait one hour following a big meal before strenuous exercise (enough to increase your heart rate), or you could slow your digestion. . This is another form of light exercise that can aid digestion. Some people find yoga particularly effective, perhaps because it stretches the abdomen.

Visit them, spend money there, or volunteer at one.   Teach kids about protecting endangered species.  Many parks have special programs and tours for children. When you travel, consider ecotourism in areas struggling to protect large numbers of endangered species.  For instance, there are plenty of locals in Madagascar, an island nation east of mainland Africa with a unique and fragile ecosystem, who would like to preserve their endangered species; give them a financial incentive to do so. When you visit a national park or simply take a walk in the woods, follow the rules and do simple things to keep the area pristine:  pick up your trash; follow fire regulations; leave flowers, eggs, and even rocks and logs where you find them.  Take only pictures and leave only footprints. There are numerous national and international organizations that work to protect endangered species, and you may also find local organizations in your area.  They might be doing things as simple as weed removal and native planting in the local nature preserve.  Join them, or start a group yourself. If you know someone in this situation, inform them of the benefits of doing so.  If not, join an organization that supports farmers and others in making this choice. They say the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" for a reason.  If you believe endangered species deserve protection for their benefit and ours, let people know.  Increased awareness is the first step toward making positive change.  Contact your elected representatives.  Ask them to support not only legislation that protects endangered species here at home or supports the effort abroad, but also measures to reduce pollution and tackle climate change. Speak out in your community.  Help make fliers.  Talk at a school, library, or community center.  In a friendly but resolute manner, assist people in seeing the bigger picture, how the little things we do (or don't do) impact the whole system, including species endangerment.  Tell them how the loss of species creates a ripple effect that...

Visit your dermatologist and discuss your complexion problems. Based on your specific issues, your dermatologist will be able to prescribe different medications to help even your skin.  Some medications may be taken as a pill and help control hormonal imbalances which can lead to poor skin complexion. Medicated creams are available through your dermatologist to apply to your skin. These can deal with problems such as age or sun spots and acne or acne scarring. Be sure to ask your doctor about possible side-effects from medication for your skin. These help fight age spots and wrinkles, but can only be performed by a dermatologist. Keep in mind that this might be a bit expensive and may not be covered by insurance.  A laser treatment works by sending short, strong pulses of light to remove layers of skin. Because of this, it is sometimes also called a laser peel. Avoid getting a laser treatment if you have acne, as this could worsen the condition. Recovery from a laser treatment takes up to two weeks. This is the time in which the skin will regrow and all discoloration or scabbing has disappeared. This is a combination of a peel and exfoliant that helps to remove dead skin and discoloration. These are available from your dermatologist and some spas.  Microdermabrasion is essentially “sanding” away skin with a peel and a special brush or tool. Therefore, it works best for dark spots and dull skin. Dermabrasion, similar to microdermabrasion, works primarily to remove scarring. It is only safe for people with fair skin however, as it can worsen scarring in dark skin. Only consider dermabrasion as an option if you struggle with scarring from a skin disease, significant acne, or accidents.

Visit your doctor to get more powerful treatments for your cold sores. If you have cold sores that recur frequently, visit your doctor to see what your treatment options are. The doctor may ask you a series of questions in order to diagnose the severity of your case, such as:  When did you first notice the current cold sore? How painful is the cold sore? When did you first get cold sores? How frequently do you get cold sores? Some medications are thought to contribute to cold sore outbreaks. Ask your doctor if these might be contributing to your current cold sore outbreak. Medications that are in question include:  Depo-Provera birth control Steroid-based medications Nasal sprays such as Fluticasone and Nasonex Flu shots or vaccinations (rarely) Medications that weaken your immune system Prescription anti-viral creams containing penciclovir and acyclovir are highly effective treatments for cold sores. These are creams that you will apply directly to the cold sore.  Apply the cream as soon as you feel the cold sore coming on. If you catch it early enough, the cream might prevent it from becoming a blister. The cream can be applied to open sores, too. They should go away within a day or two after application. Acyclovir (Zovirax) or valacyclovir (Valtrex), both anti-viral medications, are available in pill form. These can help clear up cold sores more quickly and may also prevent future outbreaks. These medications can reduce symptoms considerably if taken within the first day or two after you first notice the cold sore or accompanying symptoms. A cortisone injection is a steroid injection that is injected at the site of your cold sore. It will cause the site to swell but then the cold sore should disappear within a few hours. Visit your doctor to get an injection of diluted cortisone to quickly get rid of the cold sore. This can be painful, as the cortisone shot is injected into the cold sore itself. It may also be costly. Check with your health insurance provider to see if this procedure is covered by your insurance.

Visit your local bookstore or go online to purchase a planner. You can purchase a paper planner that spans one or more years. Pick an attractive planner, so that looking at your schedule is a pleasure. Pick a small or flat planner that will fit in your bag, so you can carry it with you.  If you would rather not carry a planner with you, consider a desk planner that will sit comfortably on a table. Make sure your planner has enough space in it for you to write down your daily activities. If you have a variable schedule with lots of small parts, get a planner with large spaces per day. If you have many ongoing projects with flexible deadlines, pick a planner with small spaces per day but plenty of extra blank page space per week, so you can keep a to-do list. A to-do list that is part of your planner is useful to most people, so consider a planner with facing blank pages for every week. If you coordinate your schedule with others, or if you do most things on your phone and computer, it might make more sense for you to pick an application, a website, or an extension of your email services to organize your schedule. You can look up free mobile and web applications that suit your needs. If you plan on sharing information from your online planner with friends, family, or colleagues, ask them what service they use and plan accordingly. Most computers come with a calendar application. You can coordinate this application with your email and other websites you use. Search your computer for "calendar," or scroll through your applications folder. You can find printable templates online, or you can design your own planner by hand or on your computer. Purchase a case for your planner, such as a three ring binder or a book cover. If you are printing templates and putting them in a binder, use a hole punch on your templates and put them in your binder.  If you are binding your own book, try taking the pages out of an old hardcover book. Lay the cover flat and measure it. Find paper that is slightly smaller than the length...

Visit your local nursery or garden store to pick out basil seeds you'd like to plant, or you can buy them online. You can often buy a packet containing over 100 seeds at a very low price. If you're buying the seeds online, do some research to find out which websites have the best seeds. Basil needs nutrient-rich soil that is able to drain water easily in order to grow into a healthy plant. You can find well-draining potting soil at a garden store, as well as online. The container should offer sufficient drainage and can be made of clay, plastic, stone, or concrete. Use a spray bottle filled with water to give the soil a little moisture before filling the container up with soil so that it’s not quite full.  Look for drainage holes in the bottom regardless of the material. These are critical to ensure good drainage and a healthy plant. Be sure to use a tray underneath your pot to prevent water from coming out of the holes and leaking all over. A regular clay pot is a popular option, or seedling trays made of plastic. If you’re using small seedling trays, try to place about 3 seeds in each tray. If you’re using a larger pot, scatter 5-7 seeds on top of the soil, placing them evenly apart from one another.  It’s important to plant more than 1 seed in each tray in case some of them don’t end up sprouting. Aim for spreading the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart from one another. You don’t need to press the seeds into the soil. You don’t need to add a thick layer, just enough to cover the seeds you’ve just planted—a layer of roughly 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). This will be just thick enough to protect the seeds while also helping them grow. Avoid packing down the soil once it’s in the container. Use a spray bottle filled with water to spray the soil with a little bit more moisture—especially the added top layer. If you don’t have a spray bottle, run your hands under a faucet or dip them in a cup of water and sprinkle the water over the soil using your fingers.  Place the pot or container on top of a tray to catch any...

Visit your optometrist regularly to check for visual impairments or diseases that may harm your overall eye health. If you have blurred vision, nearsightedness, or farsightedness, you might need either corrective eyewear or surgery.  See your doctor based on age, health, and risk of eye problems. These are factors that will determine how often you should see your eye optometrist. If you are experiencing any difficulties with eyes, visit an optometrist as soon as you can as earlier treatment leads to better results. Check your visual acuity to determine if you will need prescription eyewear. Get screened for glaucoma, which is damage to your optic nerve. If left untreated, it will get worse over time. You might need glasses to improve your vision if you have either nearsightedness or farsightedness. In both cases, corrective lenses will either counteract the increased or decreased curvature of your cornea or the length of your eye.  Eyeglasses are the most accessible and safest route to correct problems caused by vision impairment. You can get a range of eyeglasses: bifocals, trifocals, progressive lenses, reading, and driving glasses. Contact lenses are a popular choice as well. They are worn directly on your eyes and come as hard, soft, extended wear, disposable, and rigid gas permeable and bifocal. The most important factors in choosing eyeglasses or contact lenses are safety and lifestyle choice. There are several different types of surgery to choose from if you prefer not to get corrective lenses. These surgeries have become routine over the past two decades and are considered relatively safe for fully developed eyes. A doctor uses a laser to reshape the cornea.  A laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery removes layers from your cornea and is repositioned to help you attain your desired level of vision. It is painless, immediate, and does not require a long recovery period. A laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) is a procedure that reshapes the cornea’s outer layers and changes...

Visits image banks or galleries online to view images of different tattoos or designs. Images are usually grouped by category, which can reduce your search time if you have a basic idea in mind. Save your favorite images in a folder on your computer, or on a Pinterest. It might be helpful to consider your long-term tattoo plans, too. If you want your initial design to be part of a larger sleeve tattoo, then look for images that show individual tattoos used within a broader sleeve. Most tattoo shops will display portfolios of their regular artists in their waiting area. Visit a shop and peruse these binders to acquaint yourself with what each artist has to offer. Many shops will also make their artists' portfolios available on their website. If you find a tattoo artist whose work you like, book an consultation appointment to discuss a possible tattoo. Bring along pictures of artwork, designs, or other tattoos you like to give the artist a sense of what you want. Discuss the size of tattoo that you want and where you want to put it so that the artist can generate a fitting design for you.

Visual aids can be a great way to represent information and present it to your audience.  Using these visual aids can also help your audience to understand and retain the information you are presenting.  You can try using charts, videos, or images to help make your points easy to understand and appealing.  Keep visuals as clean and simple as you can. Include visual presentations in your rehearsals and practice. Don't rely fully on visual aids for your training session. If you plan on presenting any information using a visual aid, do not distribute information or hand-outs at the same time.  This can cause your audience to become distracted and possibly miss some of the information being presented.  Hand out any materials before or after using a visual aid. Keep the audience focused on the visual aid when it is being presented. Technology that is used during a presentation to deliver a visual aid may break down or fail.  Without a back up plan in place, your presentation may suffer.  Always make sure to have another method to present this information should a visual aid become unusable.  Have print outs of any images or diagrams that can be distributed. If a video is unable to be played, be ready to present the information that the video covered.

Visualization is powerful. The brain's response to imagined scenarios is often on par to its response to real life success and failure. If you want to overcome a fear, it can be helpful to make a point of habitually visualizing yourself succeeding. However, try to keep your scenario realistic. Imagine yourself overcoming your fear in a manner that could actually happen.  Say you're afraid of public speaking but need to speak at a seminar for work. Avoid seeing yourself give an impassioned, bombastic speech and being met with a standing ovation. While your presentation might go over well, such a response is unlikely.  Instead, imagine things going reasonably well. Picture yourself staying calm and collected while in front of the room. Imagine your heart rate remaining relatively stable and remaining calm. Picture yourself not stumbling over the words and answering questions as they come without too much hesitance. If visualizing the end result (such as giving a presentation at a seminar) itself is still terribly overwhelming, break down your visualizations to follow your preparation. In this way, giving a successful presentation will be much easier to envision, because you have already completed so many steps successfully that will help you get prepared and be successful.  For instance, visualize yourself completing all your research and preparing your notes. Once you have completed this step successfully in real life, visualize yourself delivering the presentation to an empty room, and then do so. Move on to visualizing a strong presentation in front of a trusted friend or colleague, someone who is supportive and will give constructive feedback on things you can work on to improve your speech. Then go ahead and do this step in real life. Finally, visualize giving the presentation successfully at work, starting a day or two before the presentation if possible. Using this method, you work up to the final result, increasing your confidence along the way. When you have to deal with something that frightens you,...

Vitamin D and calcium are essential to healthy teeth, so getting enough of these two vital nutrients may help to reverse tooth decay. Make sure that you are getting plenty of vitamin D and calcium from your diet, supplements, and other sources.  To get more calcium and vitamin D in your diet, try to eat two to three servings dairy products each day, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. You can also look for a daily multi-vitamin that includes 100% of your recommended daily intake of calcium and vitamin D. You can also spend 10 to 15 minutes in the sun each day to get your recommended daily intake of vitamin D. Just make sure that you put on sunscreen if you will be out in the sun for longer than 15 minutes. If your body has plenty of minerals, including calcium, then you will see an increased rate of calculus deposits on the back side of your lower front teeth, this means you will have to go for a professional cleaning at least twice a year. Carbonated and sugary beverages can lead to tooth decay, so make sure that you avoid these if you are trying to reverse tooth decay. You should also try to avoid fruit juices, sodas, sports drinks, and any other fizzy or sweetened beverages. Instead of drinking soda, try drinking water flavored with a few berries or sip some unsweetened iced tea with a sprig of mint. Tea (hot or cold) contains polyphenols, which seem prevent bacteria from producing acids that lead to tooth decay. The antibacterial effect is from the increased hydration of your body and this results in a higher flow of saliva. Citrus fruits contain a lot of acid, which can increase tooth decay. While you are trying to reverse your tooth decay, stop drinking citrus fruit juices and limit citrus fruits to a couple of servings per week. Citrus fruits include:  Lemons. Limes. Oranges. Tangerines. Grapefruits. Sugar is a major culprit of tooth decay so try to eliminate as many sources of sugar from your diet as possible. Instead of adding sugar to your foods and beverages, try using stevia (a calorie-free herbal...

Vitamin D is great for keeping your skin looking young and healthy. Go for vitamin D3 supplements, as they will be effective when taken orally. Getting vitamin D through supplements and your diet will ensure your skin stays healthy without having to spend too much time in the sun. Fish oil supplements contain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help to keep your skin looking bright and fresh and keep your mood up. Look for fish oil supplements that have a 7 to 1 EPA to DHA ratio, as this will ensure they are effective. If you prefer a supplement with no animal products, go for algae supplements instead so you can still reap the benefits of DHA. Biotin supplements contain B complex vitamins, which help to promote the growth of your hair and nails. Take this supplement once a day to keep your hair and nails looking healthy and strong. Read the ingredients list to ensure the supplements contain mostly, or only, the vitamin or mineral. Check that the supplement is produced by a supplier that has clear contact information and good reviews online. Look for a certification from a third party testing service on the label, as this indicates the supplement has been vetted.  Check for a US Pharmacopeia (USP) and NSF International seal on the label. Only buy supplements from a local health food store or online from a reputable site. Talk to your doctor about the supplements before you take them to ensure they are safe.

TL;DR in Russian:

Принимайте витамин D, чтобы кожа выглядела моложе. Принимайте добавки с рыбьим жиром, чтобы улучшить настроение и внешний вид. Принимайте добавку биотина, чтобы волосы и ногти выглядели здоровыми. Убедитесь, что добавки безопасны, прежде чем начинать их прием.


Vitamin E has been used in many health and beauty treatments for many years and many people swear by it as a successful treatment for scars. Vitamin E oil is moisturizing and contains powerful antioxidants, helping it to repair skin and improve the appearance of damaged tissue.  You can take vitamin E capsules orally or you can apply the oil topically by bursting a capsule with a pin and applying the oil to the affected area.  You may want to test the vitamin E oil on a small patch of skin first, before you apply it to any large areas of skin, as vitamin E oil may cause an allergic reaction in some people, resulting in contact dermatitis.  Be careful not to exceed the daily recommended dose of vitamin E oil, whether you're applying it topically or taking it orally. Cocoa butter is a natural product, which helps to reduce the appearance of scars by moisturizing and softening the outer and middle layers of skin, while simultaneously smoothing out the surface of the skin. You can use pure cocoa or use a lotion containing cocoa butter, which you should apply to the scarred area between 2 and 4 times a day.  You should massage the cocoa butter into the skin using circular motions, making sure that it is almost completely absorbed by the skin. Be aware that cocoa butter will be most effective on newer scars than older scars, though you should still see an improvement either way. Lemon juice is a common home remedy for scar treatment, which receives mixed reviews. It is believed to lessen the appearance of scars by acting as a bleaching agent to minimize redness, while also exfoliating, to help skin regenerate. While lemon juice has helped some people to reduce their scars, this method is not recommended by dermatologists, as lemon juice can be harsh and drying on the skin, and has not been scientifically proven to remove scars.  If you do decide to try lemon juice on your scars, cut a small slice of lemon and squeeze the juice directly onto your scars. Leave the lemon juice on overnight or for several hours. Do not...

Vitamins A and C play a major role in the immune system's function. Mix up the color and kind of vegetables you eat in order to provide your body with the nutrients it needs to produce blood cells. Eat leafy greens, like kale and spinach, as well as orange vegetables, like carrots. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any dietary restrictions due to medications like blood thinners. Protein provides your body with the amino acids necessary for WBC production. Choose lean proteins, like seafood, skinless poultry, lentils, and beans.  Consume between 0.8 and 1 gram of protein per kilogram of your body weight daily. If you weigh 130 pounds (about 59 kg), you should consume a minimum of 47 grams (about 1.7 ounces).  Avoid processed or deli meats. If you're undergoing cancer treatment, you'll likely need more protein than recommended. Ask your registered dietitian how much daily protein you should eat. Multivitamin supplements can be helpful if you're having trouble eating during medical treatment. If you're undergoing any treatments, it's essential to get a recommendation from your specialist or dietitian.  Some vitamins and minerals can be harmful during cancer therapy or interfere with chemotherapy or radiation. Selenium and zinc can help your body produce more white blood cells.  Consult your doctor before taking any vitamins or supplements. You should drink at least 64 fluid ounces (1.9 L) of water every day. Water is essential to the function and production of cells. You may need to drink extra water if you're vomiting, experiencing diarrhea, or not eating much. If you're undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment, talk to your dietitian about goals for water intake. While your immune system is compromised, it's important that you take time to rest. If you overwork yourself, it can cause your condition to worsen. Instead, plan breaks into your day, say "no" to unnecessary activities, and ask for help when you need it.  Remember that it's okay to ask for help. Don't say yes to things that aren't important...

Vivid details and dialogue help bring your story alive for your readers. Describe the people, surroundings, and other relevant aspects of your autobiography.  Instead of saying that your teacher wore a blue dress, say that it was aqua blue with white lace trim on the sleeves. Instead of saying you felt nervous, describe your trembling hands, the knot in your stomach, and the weak feeling in your knees. Instead of saying that you spoke to your teacher about something important, put the conversation that you had with your teacher into dialogue. Telling your story in the order it happened is effective, but there are other ways of organizing an autobiography.  Consider different organizational patterns before you pick one.  Use chronological organization if you want to start at the beginning and describe your story in the order that it happened. Use starting in the middle organization if you want to put your readers into the midst of your story and then go back to the beginning. Use starting at the end organization if you want to tell your readers how your story ended up and then explain how you got to that point. One of the worst things you can do when writing an autobiographical essay is to represent yourself in a way that does not reflect who you are. Make sure that your essay reflects your experiences and personality. Don’t be afraid to show your sense of humor, as long as you don’t think it will disrupt the tone of your essay. In other words, if you are telling a sad story, using sarcasm or making a joke about something serious might not be appropriate.

Vocalizing is generally not your cat's preferred mode of communication. A cat's "first language" consists of a complex system of scent, facial expression, complex body language, and touch. Cats soon realize that we don't understand the non-verbal signals they send to each other, so they vocalize in an attempt to communicate in our language. By observing which sounds elicit which actions from us, a cat is always learning how to make requests or demands. If you watch what your cat is doing when he or she meows, you may be able to distinguish which meows are associated with which requests (or protests). While specific meows can vary from cat to cat, there are certain types of meows that are usually associated with specific cat emotions, such as purring or hissing.  The short meow is used as a standard greeting and general acknowledgment. Multiple meows indicate excited greetings.  You may notice a more enthusiastic greeting with increased meowing if you have been gone for a longer period of time than usual. A mid-pitched meow may indicate a plea for something like food or water. A longer, drawn-out "mrrroooow" is a more persistent demand for a need or want. A low-pitched "MRRRooooowww" indicates a complaint, displeasure, or preparation to fight. A loud, lower than mid-pitch "Meow" often signals more urgent begging for something such as food. While meowing is the sound that we most often associate with cat vocalization, cats make other common sounds as well.  Purring, a throaty vibrating sound, invites close contact or attention.  While cats can purr for a variety of reasons, purring is most commonly associated with easy contentment. Hissing is a cat’s clearest sign of aggression or self-defense.  It indicates that your cat is very unhappy, feels threatened or frightened, or is fighting or preparing to fight. While other types of vocalizations may be rarer than meowing, hissing, and purring, understanding them can help you interpret your cat’s communications more fully.  A high-pitch RRRROWW! often indicates...

Vodka is commonly made from wheat, rye, barley, corn, or potatoes. Sugar and molasses can also be used alone or added to other ingredients. One distiller even makes an innovative vodka from Pinot Noir red wine. Whatever you choose, it must have sugars or starches so that alcohol is ultimately produced. Yeast eats sugars or starches and spits out alcohol and carbon dioxide.  When making vodka from grains and potatoes, a mash must be made that contains active enzymes that break down the starches from the grains or potatoes and makes fermentable sugars. Fruit juice already contains sugars so starch-degrading enzymes are not needed. As with fruit juice, vodka made from store-bought sugars need only be fermented, thus bypassing the need for a mash. When already fermented mediums such as wine are used, the medium can be distilled right away into vodka. Depending on what you decide to make your vodka out of, you may need to add enzymes to help convert the starches into sugar. If you’re using grains and potatoes, you’ll need additional enzymes. Grains and potatoes are sources of starch, so enzymes are needed to break the starch down into sugar.  If you’re using malted whole grains, you do not need additional enzymes. Malted whole grains, like malted barley or malted wheat, are rich in natural enzymes that break down starches into fermentable sugars. If you’re using refined sugar and molasses, you do not need additional enzymes because the sugar is already present. Food-grade amylase enzyme powder can be purchased from a homebrew shop and added to the mash to convert the starch into fermentable sugars, if you're using potatoes, for example. Use the recommended amount for the amount of starch to be broken down. There is no need to use malted, enzyme-rich grains such as malted barley or wheat when using enzyme powder.  For enzymes to be able to break down starches, the starches must first be gelatinized. Flaked (rolled) grains are often already gelatinized. Un-gelatinized ingredients such as potatoes and unrolled or...

Vodka, or another high-proof grain alcohol, is perfect for this, since it has both water and alcohol to dissolve the oils. While apple cider vinegar or glycerin can be used instead, the final tincture will be much less strong and have a shorter shelf life. White vinegar will also work, but have the same effect. These are good for children that cannot drink alcohol, although if you use this for baking, the alcohol bakes out. Homemade tinctures, just like vanilla extract you would buy in a store, are normally used in such small doses that the alcohol does not have a noticeable effect.  For dried mint leaves, use vodka containing 45–60% alcohol (90–120 proof). For fresh mint leaves, since they already contain water, use vodka or Everclear with 90–95% alcohol (180–190 proof). Chop a bundle of fresh mint leaves into two or three pieces, or mash the leaves with a clean cup base, so more oils will be exposed to the liquid. Dried mint leaves can be  crumbled by hand instead, or left mostly whole.  Wash fresh mint leaves before chopping. There's no need to remove the stems, but throw away any slick or dark leaves, as these may be rotting. Stuff the jar with mint, leaving as little as ½ inch (1.25 centimeters) of space if you want the option for a stronger tincture. You may use a smaller amount of mint leaves if you like, but you may end up with a less aromatic or flavorful result. Once the mint is in, pour the alcohol or other liquid into the jar, completely covering the leaves. Close the lid of the jar tightly. The leaves may float at first. You can try to push them down with a spoon, but they should sink on their own after a few days. The exact length of time simply depends on how strong you want your tincture to be, but it usually takes between four and eight weeks. Most people prefer to store the jar in a dark place, since sunlight could lower the tincture's shelf life. Once or twice a week, shake the jar for a couple minutes to speed up the dissolving process. You can taste a drop of the mixture to decide whether...

Volcanic eruptions can be very dangerous, and require thorough preparations to be made by those living or working in the vicinity of an active volcano. The first step of your preparation should be to draw up a comprehensive plan for how you will get in touch with your family if there is an emergency.  Start by writing down all the different ways you can contact each other, and the relevant phone numbers and email addresses. Don't forget landline phone numbers. The eruption might occur suddenly when your family are not all at home, so it's important to know the emergency plans of the relevant schools, workplaces, and local government. Identify somebody out of town, such as a family member or family friend, who can act as your central point of contact. If you get separated and can't get in touch with each other, check in with this person out of town who will be able to relay information between you all. As part of your emergency planning, you should decide on some specific meeting places where your family members can head to if there is an eruption and you have to evacuate. If you have a family member with disabilities, ensure all the places you choose are accessible. Include your pets in your planning and locate places that can accommodate animals. Determine four distinct meeting places.  One of these should be indoor, preferably at home or a nearby storm shelter, somewhere you will be protected from winds and potential volcanic ash. The second should be a place in your neighborhood that is not your home. If for any reason you cannot get to your house, a nearby location is the next best thing. The third place should be in your town, but outside of your neighborhood. A central public building such as a library or community center could be a good choice. Finally, decide on a place outside of your town. This is the place you will go to meet up with your family if you have to leave town suddenly. A family or friend out of town is the best choice for this meeting point. Take the time to talk through the plans with...

Volunteer to do the laundry. Make sure no one is around, and then take a look at your mom's or sister's bra. It might seem weird at first, but it can take a while to learn to unhook a bra with both hands, and this is an easy way to get some practice.  You can buy a bra cheap at a thrift store--just pretend you are shopping for your girlfriend or for a costume party. You can order something online that is like a fabric bracelet that clasps around your wrist using the exact eyelet and hooks you would find on a bra. You can use this to practice unhooking the bracelet with your free hand. If you're a girl then it's a little easier and you can practice with your own bra. Most bras have two wide straps (or bands) that connect across the back. A series of hooks are stitched to the end of the left strap (assuming the person wearing the bra is facing you), and eyelets sewn on the right strap. (If the person has their back to you, then the hooks will be on the right and the eyelets on the left.) There may be one hook and one eyelet, or somewhere between 2 and 5 rows and columns of hooks and eyelets. Some front-fastening bras have one large hook that slides down into a loop of fabric, rather than side to side or forward and back, like with the hook and eyelet. You can fasten the bra around a pillow or rolled up sleeping bag--something roughly the size of a human torso. This will pull the bra strap taut so you can practice when there is tension in the strap.  You may want to start by just hooking and unhooking the bra when it is loose and there is no tension in the strap so you can get the feel for how the eyelets hook and unhook. Practice using first one hand, then the other, to see which one feels better. It may not necessarily be your dominant hand.

Volunteering can be a great way to feel your life has meaning. Try giving back to your community through service to organizations that are important to you.  Helping others is related to life satisfaction. Those that help others on a regular basis tend to feel happier and more fulfilled.  Ask your parents about how you can get involved in your community. If you're under 18, you may need parental permission when volunteering. If your parents volunteer anywhere, you may be able to offer your assistance. For example, if your parents work for a local political party, you could join them on days they're working on do small tasks around the office. Giving back does not just mean donating your time to charity. You should also work to be kind to those around you. This can help you feel your life matters as you'll have a positive impact on friends and family members.  Ask people about their needs. If your friend is sad because his pet cat just died, ask what you can do to help. Sometimes, something as simple as listening goes a long way.  Be interested in others. Do not be nosy or insincere, but show genuine interest in the passions of those around you. Ask your friends about their hobbies and interests. Your life will feel more meaningful if you make an effort to feel grateful for what you have. Try to be thankful for what you have in life.  Try to write down three things each day you're grateful for. These can be broad things, like nature, or specific things, like a good friend of yours.  Practice rituals that allow you express gratitude. You can say thanks before a meal, for example, or think about what you're thankful for each night before bed. Youth can be a great time to explore religion and spirituality. While you may have taken on your parents moral and faith during adolescence, use your youth as an opportunity to explore faith on your own.  Learn about various religious and spiritual traditions. You could read up on a variety of faiths at your local library. Read the religious texts and doctrines of religions...

TL;DR in Russian:

Занимайтесь волонтерством. Уделяйте внимание потребностям окружающих людей. Развивайте в себе способность чувствовать благодарность. Развивайте свою духовную сторону.


Volunteering in your community is another way to show how grateful you are for all of the things that the world has given you. Whether you’re helping clean up a local park, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching children and adults in your community to learn to read, you will become a more grateful person if you give your time to people who are less fortunate and appreciate all that ‘’they’’ have to offer ‘’you.’’ If you really like volunteering, you can even take a volunteer trip to another country. This will really change your perspective and will make you even more grateful. That’s right. Just going out in the park and sitting in the sun can help you appreciate all that you have in life. Whether you go swimming, meditate in a park, go hiking, or climb a mountain, communing with nature will make you see how impermanent your life is and how much you should appreciate all of the little things that life does have to offer you. The more time you spend outside instead of being cooped up inside your home, the more grateful you will feel. Yoga is the practice of gratitude. While you’re practicing those arm balances and doing those vinyasas, you will really be working on finding a connection between your mind and body that allows you to appreciate every breath, every movement, and every person around you. Yoga will remind you that the world has what you need and that you have what the world wants.  Making a weekly yoga habit will help you appreciate the small stuff and not feel like you’re not getting enough out of life. Yoga is all about being generous and offering up what you have to the world. This is guaranteed to make you less selfish and more grateful. You shouldn’t always save your acts of kindness for your close friends or family members. Help a neighbor look for a lost dog. Help the girl in the coffee shop who spilled coffee all over herself clean up. Help an old woman carry her groceries. Sometimes these opportunities will present themselves—you don’t have to come looking for them. And when they do come,...

Volunteering with a local charity is a great way to improve the world around you. You'll be able to do the most direct good and see the impact on the people that you help. If you have a practical skill or can learn one, or evening volunteering at the Humane Society in your local neighborhood. using that skill will offer the most good (skills like construction or medicine are good examples).  Tutor disadvantaged kids Work at a local soup kitchen Work with a charity like Habitat for Humanity. Another way to really make the world a better place is to reduce the negative impact you have on the world around you. Being good stewards of the world has a significant and positive impact on your environment and helps to preserve the planet for the next generation.  Be consistent about recycling. Reduce the waste you produce and compost.  Conserve water and grow some of your own food. If you really want to help your local environment, buy and install solar panels for your home and switch to public transit, a bike, or an electric vehicle. Increase positive impacts. Notice how your happiness and well-being are interconnected with other people and the natural environment. Learn how you can leave a legacy of sustainable happiness. Exercise your right to vote. Bad politicians and policies can have an incredibly negative impact on your community and your environment. By not voting and letting your voice be heard, you are allowing opportunity for bad policy to rule. Be engaged in your city, states, and country by voting and talking with the politicians you support, as well as educating others on important issues. In America, for example, only about 50% to 60% of eligible voters actually vote during the presidential election. And that number tumbles to about 35% to 40% in midterm elections. Imagine the changes people might enact if 90% of people voted during presidential elections and 60% of people voted during midterms! With companies, your money talks....so shout as loud as you can!

Vomiting can accompany many common cat illnesses, as well as occasional digestive problems. If your cat has vomited, offer it plenty of fresh, clean water. If your cat vomits frequently, especially within a brief period, contact a vet. For cats with an occasional vomiting problem, keeping them away from food for 24-48 hours can give their digestive system time to recover. If your cat vomits even after having water, you can also withhold it for up to 24 hours. However, do not withhold water from a cat with known or suspected kidney disease. After the vomiting has stopped for a time, you can begin feeding your cat again. Try offering small amounts, 3-6 times a day. The food should be bland so as to not upset the cat’s digestive system again. Good suggestions for a bland diet include boiled, skinless chicken or white fish, such as cod.  Over the course of a few days, gradually increase the amount you feed the cat. After a few days on a bland diet, begin mixing a small portion of your cat’s regular food with the bland foods. Start with something like 1 part regular food to 3 parts bland food. If your cat seems to handle the mixed food without a problem, wait a day or two and mix one-half regular food and one-half bland food. After a day or so of that, try 3 parts regular food to one part bland food. If that also works, then you can go back to feeding your cat only its regular food.
