Most celebrities have a professional email listed on their official website. If they don’t have a public email address, try sending the email to their agent or management company. Simply copy your fan letter into the email, and send it to the email address listed for them.  Try to avoid asking for autographs over email. It tends to be a lot more work for the celebrity. Instead, use the email to establish communication and a relationship with the celebrity! Make sure to give your email a unique subject line that will attract their attention, like, “Good luck this Sunday!” if you’re emailing a famous football player. Facebook accounts for celebrities are very popular, and can have a high response rate. Search for their full name to find their verified Facebook account, which will have a blue checkmark, and tap on the messenger button on the top bar of the page. Then, add their name to the message, type your fan letter, and hit send.  This method is great for getting a quick response to an easy question, and you can see when the celebrity read your message. Keep in mind that most celebrities employ someone to manage their social media. However, the answer still might come from the celebrity, even if someone else is typing the message! Find the person's public Instagram or Twitter account online by searching for their name. Leave a supportive comment on their picture, or respond to their tweet with a funny GIF. You can even tag them in a picture if you’ve made fan art for them! Send a direct message by opening the messaging function, and type their handle into the search bar to add them to the message. Then, type and send your message.  For example, if you made a drawing or painting of a celebrity, tag them in your post. Many celebrities, like Nick Jonas, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga, are known for responding to fan art! You can usually see when the celebrity reads your message, but don’t be discouraged if they don’t respond. They get a lot of messages every day on social media, so it can be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите адрес рабочей электронной почты знаменитости, чтобы ваше сообщение носило частный характер. Отправить сообщение в ВКонтакте или Facebook, чтобы получить больше шансов на ответ. Установите контакты в Instagram или Twitter, чтобы ежедневно взаимодействовать со знаменитостью. Сохраняйте позитивный настрой и не отправляйте множество писем.


Most celebrities have accounts on all kinds of different social media platforms. If you don’t have any social media accounts yourself, you may want to sign up just to follow the celebrities you want to be friends with. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are good places to start, but other platforms like Snapchat are becoming popular among celebrities, as well. If the celebrity you like has a personal website, they might list their social media accounts on their website. Check there for their usernames or links to their different accounts, or do a quick Google search to find them. Until you are on conversational or friendly terms with the celebrity, don’t try to add their personal or private accounts. They will likely ignore or deny your request because they don’t know you, and you might mess up your chances of getting to know them. Stick to following their public accounts. If you want to be friends with someone famous, you don’t want to come off as pushy by trying to be a part of their personal lives before you’ve been invited in. If you want the celebrity to notice you, you’ll need to leave them comments on their posts! If they post a photo on Instagram, leave a comment and let them know what you think. If they post something on Facebook, comment or like their post. Just make sure you don’t comment too much, or say anything that will make you come off looking desperate or obsessive. Instead of commenting with something like “Wow I love you so much!” you might comment with something like “Looks awesome! You should check out…” and bring up something related to the post. This way, you’re connecting with them and showing them you have common interests, and not just looking like a fan. Sending a message directly to their inbox is a good way to make contact, but that is not always possible. You could send a note to their post office box or email them if you have a email address instead. For example, if you know the celebrity will be in your town, or if you’ll be visiting theirs, send them a message to...

Most chain thrift outlets like Goodwill and the Salvation Army will put you on a mailing list for coupon and sale opportunities. These same stores often take pictures of furniture and other "in demand" items and post them online.  Reviewing online offerings before shopping can save you trips around town. Anticipate what people will be turning out of their closets at certain times during the year. When planning your thrifting trips, for certain items, consider the following:  Shop for summer clothes in the fall when people are thinning out their warm weather clothes in favor of sweaters and coats. The same goes for getting winter clothes in the spring. Look for kitchen items and accessories after college graduations.  When students are done with school, they often move back home or to a new city for employment, leaving behind many gently-used kitchen items, lamps, bedding items, etc. Look for furniture during the summer and early fall.  More people get married during the summer than any other time of year and often have duplicate furniture items that wind up at thrift stores. Looking to get the best deals that thrifting has to offer? Create a weekly rotation for thrifting, centered around when new shipments arrive at each store. Other things to consider are:  Shop early. If you want to get first pick, arrive as the store opens. Shop late. On sale days, some stores are looking to clear out all items on sale, and will offer deeper discounts just before closing.

Most chairs are made to fit around 90 percent of people but those on the ends of the spectrum may not fit. Since there is no “average” person chairs are made in sizes that can be fully adjustable so that they can be made to fit most people. However, if you are very tall or very short then you may need a custom-made chair. Unless you get a custom-made chair, you should get a fully adjustable chair so that you can adjust it properly for your body. Choosing a chair with controls that are easy to operate while sitting will allow you to adjust your chair completely to your body. You can put yourself in the chair and then adjust all the pieces directly onto your body. Height is a very important factor when adjusting a chair so it is very important that the height of the chair can be adjusted according to your body and needs. Tilt is also important for allowing correct posture while sitting. The curve along the edge will provide more space for your knees and comfort on the backs of your thighs. Additionally, the seat should not put pressure on the back of thighs or knees. You don’t want to get all sweaty while working at your desk nor do you want to slide around too much so these factors are important when choosing a chair. Adjusting the backrest to completely support your lower back will allow your to remain pain and injury free. The base should be a five-point system that provides balance and stability while sitting on the chair. The base should be on casters or wheels depending on your preferences. You should be able to easily get in and out of the chair but the armrests should be as close as possible while sitting. The closer your elbows stay to your body while sitting, the more comfortable you will be. Armrests should never hamper your movement while working or typing. Adjustable armrests will allow you to customize their height for your body size and arm length.

Most cleaning solutions use proprietary mixtures that they claim work best. See what other users have to say about the product before committing to a purchase. Some solutions act as more of a polish than a cleaner, so make sure to read the full product descriptions. If you don’t have any good cloth lying around, purchase a cleaning kit. These typically come with microfiber cloths suited to cleaning LCD displays. If you’d like to avoid using and cleaning a cloth, you can purchase disposable cleaning wipes specifically designed for monitors.

Most clippers come with a maintenance kit that includes a small brush. After every shave, brush excess hair off of the blades and guard. This ensures that old hair does not build up and work its way into the clipper's interior, where it can interfere with the operation of the motor. If your clippers didn't come with a brush, you can use an old toothbrush or a bristly pipe cleaner. Most clippers also contain a small bottle of lubricating mineral oil. After every several shaves, clean the blades with the brush, then apply a few drop of mineral oil along the clipper's teeth. Turn the clipper on for about twenty seconds. This allows the oil to spread along the blades, keeping them sharp and smooth. If your clippers didn't come with oil, contact the manufacturer before substituting your own oil - many household oils aren't suitable for clippers and will affect their performance. Well-maintained clippers should give you few problems. However, like any electric appliance, clippers can experience occasional performance issues. Here are a few of the most common complaints, with basic troubleshooting instructions:  "My clippers make a very loud buzzing noise." Many clippers have a voltage regulator that resembles a screw on the side of the device. This can be easily adjusted with an included tool or an everyday screwdriver. Experiment with adjusting the voltage regulator in either direction until the noise stops. There is no risk of electrocution. "My clippers can't cut my hair." Your clippers may not be sharp enough or the internal motor may be losing power. Ensure that you're regularly cleaning and oiling the blades. If you clippers are noticeably slower, there may be an issue with the motor - it may be time to replace the clippers. Consult your manufacturer for warranty information. Alternatively, your hair may simply be too thick! Clear any hair that is jammed in the blades and try again with shallower cuts.  "My clippers don't hold a charge." Over time, the battery in portable clippers can deteriorate. Most...

Most clippers come with several snap-on plastic guards. The guards ensure an even trim at the length you want - no one wants to cut their beard too short.  If you're not sure which of two guards is best, start with the longer attachment first. You can always go back over the beard with a shorter guard afterward, but if you trim too short, you can't put it back on. If you don't have a guard available, you can hold a comb in front of the clippers and trim off the hair that slips through the comb's teeth. Maintain balance between each side of your face by always starting at the ears and working down. The guard should keep the trimmer from irritating your skin or cutting too much hair. Start under your nose and move toward the corner of the mouth, then proceed down to your chin. Pay special attention to hard-to-reach areas directly under your nose.  Keep your mouth closed to avoid a mouthful of hair! Depending on the length of your beard, it may be easier to trim the mustache separately with scissors. Remove the guard from the trimmer and trim along your neckline to remove the remaining hair on your neck. Use your jaw as a straight edge. If you like, you can also lather and shave your neck, depending on how you like it styled. Some prefer a clean cut-off line for their beard, while others prefer subtle neck stubble.

Most commercial beard oils are made out of a mixture of essential oils and a carrier oil. Essential oils are pure extracts that are distilled from a plant’s leaves, flowers, bark, stems, or roots. These oils can help treat your beard dandruff and keep your beard soft and supple. Consider using one of the following essential oils to help with your beard dandruff and related skin conditions:  Lavender Cedarwood Tea tree Patchouli Rosemary Bergamot Essential oils are very concentrated and can irritate skin if they are not diluted. A carrier oil such as grapeseed or jojoba will dilute essential oils while giving your skin an added boost of moisture. Consider some of the following carrier oils to dilute your essential oil and moisturize your skin:  Grapeseed oil Jojoba oil Avocado oil Argan oil  Sweet almond oil You can mix your essential and carrier oils daily before you use them or make a batch of beard oil in an amber bottle. A 1-ounce amber bottle will keep the sun or other light from degrading over time. Consider mixing different essential oils and carrier oils to make your own version that meet your skin needs and smells pleasant.  Use 1 ounce of carrier oil to 10-15 drops of essential oil. Gently swirl the oils together to incorporate them into one oil.  Try mixing different essential oils and carrier oils for your own personal blend. For example, you could mix 1 ounce of carrier oil with 8 drops of patchouli oil, 4 drops of bergamot oil, 2 drop of lavender oil and one drop of black pepper oil. Another blend you can try is ½ ounce argan oil, ¼ oil jojoba oil, ¼ ounce sweet almond oil, 7 drops lavender oil, 5 drops rosemary oil, and 3 drops cedarwood oil. Once you have your oil mixed, do a patch test to ensure that you don’t have a bad reaction to it. Leave it on for 5 minutes on an area of your facial skin isn’t visible or obvious to other people. If you don’t have a reaction, you can use your beard oil daily. Massage 5-7 drops of your beard oil into your skin and into the beard hair every day if you like....

Most commercial stain removers are capable of breaking up sap stains. A little bit of your everyday liquid laundry detergent may also work. Transfer the stain remover with a rag or cotton ball. Spread it thinly over the area you need to clean. Work the stain remover into the stain with your fingers or a toothbrush, if you’d like. Leave the clothing to dry in open air for at least 20 minutes. This gives the product time to loosen the dried sap, which is very difficult to remove through washing alone. The temperature you use depends on the kind of fabric you’re washing. Most clothing can be washed in warm water, which is usually enough to remove sap stains. Delicates and darks should be washed in cold water. Washing can be done either in a washing machine or by hand. Your regular laundry detergent is normally enough to remove sap stains. For extra effect, you may use bleach. Chlorine bleach is safe to use on white cotton or cotton-polyester blends. You’ll need an all-color or oxygen bleach for any other type of clothing. Read the label information to ensure the product won’t damage your clothing. No matter how tempted you feel, don’t throw a stained shirt in the dryer. As soon as that stain dries, it’ll be a nightmare to remove, especially if you used heat. Wash the clothing again or try isopropyl alcohol. It may take 2 or 3 rounds to fully remove the sap, but you’ll save a perfectly good piece of clothing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обработайте пятно пятновыводителем. Замочите пятно на 20 минут. Постирайте одежду на максимально возможной температуре. Добавьте в стирку отбеливатель, чтобы удалить трудновыводимые пятна. Обработайте одежду снова, пока пятно не исчезнет.


Most companies have websites which list their HR employees. It might take some searching to find exactly who you need to talk to, but don’t give up. Most HR departments have at least a general email address listed, and often list the email addresses of individual employees. If, despite your best efforts, you can't find the appropriate email addresses, call the company. Ask if they can give you contact information—preferably an email address—for the hiring manager or recruiter. Once you’ve found the email address of a recruiter or hiring manager, take some time to write a clear, polite email. You should use their title, explain who you are, and what type of position you’re looking for.  For example, you could write: “Dear Ms. Johnson, I have loved shopping at Forever 18 for many years, and I have recently become interested in taking my love for the store to the next level by working there. I have 5 years of retail experience, including 2 years as a manager. Are there any current openings in your company? Thank you for your time.” If it feels appropriate, you could also add a line asking when you should follow up. That way, you’ll have a reason to touch base with the recruiter again about the position. You could say, “If there’s a good time I should check back in about this position, kindly let me know.” Telling the hiring manager or recruiter you have certain qualifications is one thing. Attach your resume or CV to show your contact that you actually have those qualifications. If applicable, you can include a link to a website, article, or social media profile, like LinkedIn, that displays your work.  Providing a link makes a good first impression in addition to making it convenient for the person to view your work. They may wish to view your profile after your initial interaction. Proofread your resume for any errors or typos before submitting it. Nothing allows a recruiter to rule you out as a candidate more quickly than sloppy resume errors.

Most companies require a minimum 1-year contract. In other words, you must live in Japan and work at that company for at least 1 year. You will have Golden Week, Obon, and New Year's vacation which you can use to visit your family in your home-town. Other than that, be prepared to be separated from your family and your friends for at least 1 year. Do not break your contract. It is not easy for a company to scout new teachers, do the paperwork, and train them. Between the time you leave and the time a new teacher comes, your school will be in a lot of trouble. They will have to send a substitute or emergency teacher, which is very expensive. If you break your contract the company can hold you accountable for those expenses and will charge you, even if you move back to your home country. Furthermore, the students need a teacher who will be there for them. If you leave suddenly then your students' motivation will drop, and they don't deserve that. Are you ready to make a minimum 1-year commitment?

Most companies wishing to hire a web developer will advertise for a person who has several qualifications.   Many employers will want a web developer to hold a Bachelors degree in computer science. Computer science degrees prepare an individual by teaching them the skills needed for web development: programming, web design, database management, networking, and mathematics. In lieu of getting a degree, many web developers hold professional certifications. You can obtain these from community colleges, continuing education services, and several technology companies. For example, Microsoft offers a web development training course that requires you to pass an exam and hold 2-3 years of work experience. While having a degree or certification is most desirable, there are many freelance web developers in the market who are building successful business. Being able to design a basic website is the bare minimum you will need to be able to do.   You need to know how the web works and how to program. There are many different programming languages that a good web developer should have knowledge of. You will need to know how to code in different programming languages and when to use them. New programming languages and interfaces are appearing everyday. You need to keep up with the trends in technology to move forward in this field. You will need to know some basic aspects of design: color theory, grid blocking, fonts etc. While your job isn't primarily to design graphics, you should know how to make a website or app look attractive and be user friendly at the same time. You will need to have the interpersonal skills to relate to clients as well as to handle stress and a busy work environment.  Interpersonal skills are a very important aspect of the field of web development. You will be interfacing with clients, co-workers and companies on a daily basis.

Most concerts provide an option to purchase a VIP package, which often includes an opportunity to meet the band and get autographs. These packages are much more expensive than the basic ticket price and they usually sell out early, but they will give you an opportunity to go backstage and meet the band. This option is good if you don’t really like the idea of sneaking backstage and you can afford to buy the VIP package. The earlier that you show up to the concert venue, the better your chances of getting backstage will be. Lots of people try to get backstage at concerts and as the evening progresses, security guards become more cautious and selective of who they allow backstage. If you show up early, you will have a better chance. Since they are the ones blocking your entrance to the backstage, you will have a better chance of reaching your goal if you are nice to them. Don’t overdo it. Just be pleasant and polite. Make casual conversation with the security guards and try not to act like you are dying to get backstage, even if you really are! If you notice a roadie lugging some equipment onto the stage and ask if you can help. If you are allowed to help, work really hard and thank the roadies for letting you help. This strategy may get you backstage and it can also land you an awesome on-stage vantage point during the concert. You are less likely to get backstage with a group of three or more friends, but if its just you or just you and a pal then security will be less likely to bother with you. Trying to sneak backstage at a concert is risky because you can get kicked out of you are caught. If you do get caught sneaking backstage, don’t get angry or try to run away. Just be pleasant and apologetic if you get caught and you will have a better chance of not getting kicked out. Although you may be freaking out inside, you will need to act casual if you manage to get backstage. If you seem way too excited, security will notice and they might kick you out. Instead, take a deep breath and enjoy your time...

Most cosmetology programs require you to be at least 16 years of age and to have a high school diploma or a GED to enter. But every state has slightly different regulations and requirements, so before you proceed, you should check with the cosmetology boards of different states to see what you need to do. In some cases, different cosmetology schools will also have stricter requirements than the states, so you'll have to look into those on an individual basis as well. Some high schools even allow juniors and seniors to enter vocational programs for cosmetology. These programs give students a jump start on being full cosmetologists and give them valuable hours and experience that can count toward their hours for cosmetology school. Cosmetology students enroll in state licensing beauty schools, job skills beauty schools or degree granting beauty schools. Tuition and fees for cosmetology schools range from $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the courses offered, the school's location, hours of education required and the facilities and equipment available. You can enroll in cosmetology school at a private school, community college, or a for-profit cosmetology program.  Make sure that you look at at least three different schools in your area and compare the prices, the percentage of students that find jobs, and the duration of the program. Talk to the admissions counsellors at each school to find which school is the best fit for you. Some schools offer courses for part-time students or night courses so that you can get the education with a more flexible schedule. If this is important for you, it should be a priority. Most schools take between 9-15 months to complete. While most states require around 1,600 training hours before you get your license, some require a lot more or less, falling in the range of 1,000 hours and 2,300 hours. You'll have to put in long hard hours and learn a variety of subjects that range from hair coloring to human anatomy. You'll have to attend class, pass exams, and get many hours of...

Most couples can safely try to conceive on their own for up to a year before consulting a doctor; however, in certain cases you should see a physician before attempting to have a child.   If you're over 35, fertility does decrease during this time. You are also at increased risk for a miscarriage or other complications during pregnancy. If you're over the age of 35, make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will perform a basic exam and talk you through some of the unique risks and challenges you face getting pregnant at your age. They may also provide you some tips on how to conceive safely.  If you have a condition that inhibits fertility, like PCOS, you should make an appointment with your doctor. They can provide you with insight on how to get pregnant safely. You should also see a doctor if you suspect you have a fertility issue. For example, if your menstrual cycle is inconsistent, you may want to have your doctor perform some tests to assess your fertility.  If you discover you have a fertility issue, do not panic. Many fertility issues are treatable with medication or surgery. You doctor may recommend you see a fertility specialist, depending on your issue. Many couples are able to overcome fertility issues and go on to have healthy babies. Sexually transmitted infections are diseases transmitted through sexual intercourse. STIs can affect fertility in both men and women if they go untreated. If you and your partner have not already been tested for STIs, get tested before attempting to conceive. Most STIs are curable and you should make sure you're STI-free before trying to have a baby. If you're in your early 30s, seeing a doctor is not necessary unless you've been trying for a baby for over a year; however, many couples find it helpful to talk to their doctor ahead of time. Preconception planning allows your doctor to assess your overall health and give you advice on how to best conceive.  Your regular doctor may be able to give you a preconception planning appointment; however, they may...

Most coyotes are no longer afraid of humans and there are reports of increased coyote sightings in urban and suburban areas. In other words, a coyote who does not immediately run away when encountering humans has probably become habituated to the presence of people. You can help prevent coyotes from wandering into your neighborhood by attending to the environment in several ways.  Keep trees and shrubbery neatly trimmed to eliminate hiding places for coyotes. Install coyote-proof fences or other motion-triggered deterrents like light or sprinkler systems. Humans increase the likelihood of conflicts with coyotes by feeding the animals directly and by giving them access to garbage, pet food and other food remnants.  Clean up fallen fruit and birdseed from your yard and do not keep any pet food outdoors. Secure your garbage and compost bins with rope, chain, bungee cords or weights to keep coyotes from getting in. To prevent tipping, secure the side handles to stakes driven into the ground or keep the bins in a secured shed or garage. When hiking, bring a large stick or umbrella with you in case of attack. It is also useful to have noisemakers, like air horns and whistles, readily on hand in order to scare off any approaching coyotes. Other options include vessels filled with chemical solutions, such as pepper spray or a vinegar-filled water gun.

Most cults have single leaders, or they're typically called collectives. If you're the one forming the cult, it's likely that you're the leader, but you need to make sure that your cult is organized for good purposes, not for your own material gain, or purposes of power grabbing. Cult leaders are typically charismatic and manipulative, but if you're going to form yours collectively, it's a good idea to pick someone who has the good of the group at heart. The person who wants to be the leader is the last person you should pick. By what rules, concepts, and moral code will your cult organize itself? What is the ultimate goal of the cult? How will you use Star Trek to change all your lives, and perhaps the lives of many others, for the better? What's your big message for the world?  Focus especially on the issue of how you'll use this to transform your lives for the better. The difference between a Star Trek Cult and a Star Trek Fan Club isn't necessarily the fervency of your adoration for Star Trek, but how you use that fervency to change your life. It's helpful to write up these documents, but probably leave the word "cult" off of things. You don't want to give people the wrong idea. All cults have governing texts which have the virtue of being both mysteriously vague, pseudo-profound, and easy to read by a wide variety of people. If you want your cult to grow and attain a sense of legitimacy, it's a good idea to self-publish your guidelines for life, or your teachings as a group. Fair warning: people will probably find the idea of a cult about anything pretty strange, and you may face a lot of hostility and backlash if you're really public with your cult. It's good to have a quiet, private place where you can do the things you want to do, the way you want to do them.  If you've got a Star Trek Cult forming, it's likely you won't be doing anything much more significant at first than watching episodes, having in-depth conversations, and maybe re-enacting a scene or two, which it's perfectly possible to do from...

Most curly-haired people know that volume at the roots is important, since curls are heavy and tend to flatten at the top of the head. To avoid this, start by flipping your head upside down. Your hair will dry in an upside-down position, and once you're finished, your roots will have much better volume.  If keeping your head upside down gets uncomfortable, you can lean your head to one side or another instead. The important thing is not to sit upright, since gravity will cause your roots to flatten as your hair dries. Another option is lifting the roots with hair clips. Use claw clips to lift the roots from your head, and dry your hair with the clips in place. That way, you won't have to hold your head upside down to get volume.

TL;DR in Russian:

Most customers, whether they're conscious of it or not, hate the idea of missing out on a good deal. Giving the impression that, by passing on a sale, your customer is missing a special offer or a limited-time deal is one of the oldest, most effective tricks in the book for getting reluctant customers off the fence. To do this, try to call attention to certain deals that won't be offered forever or certain products that are almost out of stock and encourage customers to "jump" on these opportunities. Some business even take this to a borderline-unethical extreme, increasing a product's price so that a big, appealing, limited-time deal reduces its price to normal levels. This sort of trickery is unfortunate, but, sadly, common. The stereotype of the salesperson as a slimy flatterer isn't entirely unearned - by playing to a customer's ego, you can increase your chance for success on almost any given sale. The trick here is to genuinely flatter your customer without seeming transparent, cloying, or phony. Pour on the honey, but don't overdo it: when your customer takes your exclusive deal on a new car, she's smart, not an absolute genius. When a heavy customer tries on a suit, he looks slim, not astoundingly dashing. Flatter, but be reasonable and realistic. When in doubt, it's hard to go wrong by complimenting a customer's taste at having picked a certain product. A simple "great choice!" or "ooh, nice!" can work wonders. Most people are more likely to do things for others when the other person has already done them a favor. Particularly sly salespeople can take advantage of this fact by giving the customer the impression that they've received some favor or act of kindness. Sometimes, being attentive and responsive to a customer is enough - for instance, a shoe salesman who tirelessly runs back and forth from the storeroom so that a customer can try on a dozen pairs of shoes has demonstrated serious kindness simply by doing his job well. Other times, small "actual" favors are necessary, like getting a customer...

TL;DR in Russian:

Создайте впечатление срочности. Не стесняйтесь льстить покупателю (но не слишком явно). Сделайте так, чтобы покупатели чувствовали себя обязанными. Не торопите покупателя. Будьте ответственны и надёжны.


Most denominations believe that praying in Hebrew is better, though your god will understand you in whatever tongue you speak. Do your best and He will understand. Jews prefer to pray more often and in groups, other than Christian prayer which is more individually focused. Pray with others if you can. This can be at temple, with your family at home, or while you are out with your friends. Instead of individually stated prayers said each day, Jews prefer to say blessings for different times of day, events, and times of year. You will want to learn the different prayers and when they should be spoken, as well as the Holy Days which require special prayers. If the normal ways of praying are not for you and you feel that you communicate with your god better on your own and in your own way, that is okay. You can pray in the Christian method above and your god will understand. He cares more about your devotion and obedience.

TL;DR in Russian:

Старайтесь молиться на иврите. Старайтесь молиться с другими. Вы должны знать разные молитвы на разные случаи в жизни. Молитесь в одиночестве, если вам так лучше.


Most dentists can perform an in-office bleaching treatment that will whiten your teeth in only one visit. Typically, the dentist will apply a gel to your teeth and use lights or a laser to activate the gel and bleach the enamel. If you need your teeth whitened instantly, make an appointment with your dentist for a bleaching treatment. These treatments will usually cost over $400, so if money is an issue this may not be the best option. If an in-office bleaching treatment isn't a good option for you, you could get a home bleaching kit from a pharmacy or supermarket. These kits usually include a gel that contains hydrogen peroxide, a tooth-whitening chemical, and a mouth guard. Kits vary, but almost always involve placing the gel in the mouth guard and keeping it in your mouth for a specific amount of time.  The whitening effect from these kits won't last as long as an in-office treatment, but they are a much cheaper option for a quick whitening. Be sure to buy a product with the American Dental Association seal of acceptance to certify that the product has been tested and is safe. Whitening kits sometimes lead to temporarily increased tooth sensitivity so make sure you consult your dentist before doing a home whitening. Another cheap option for whitening your teeth quickly is to use whitening strips. These products press a hydrogen peroxide gel against your teeth and protect it from removal. The strips are also sticky, so when you take them off they will remove any surface stains.  One disadvantage of whitening strips is that they can't remove the stains in between teeth. Usually you need to use whitening strips every day, sometimes multiple times. Whitening strips work slower than bleaching methods, but you should see significant results within a week of the first application. Whitening toothpastes will only whiten your teeth a shade or two, and it will take longer (over two months) to see results. Using toothpaste alone won't give you dramatic results fast, but you can supplement faster treatments with...

Most dentists will do an oral examination during your regular dental visit.  This will ensure that any signs of oral cancer are picked up at their earliest stages. Getting regular dental examinations is a great way to nip any kind of oral disease in the bud. If you are under high risk for cancer (due to tobacco use, alcohol abuse, sun exposure or family history), then your dentist will give you periodic oral cancer screening tests during your regular oral examinations. During an oral examination, your dentist will check inside your mouth for color changes, red or white patches, and sores/ulcers.  With gloved hands, your dentist will press all your mouth tissues, including your cheeks, lips, tongue, floor and roof of the mouth, and sides of your tongue for any lumps, swelling, or changes of texture. Your dentist will do a complete examination of all your tissues and check for any cancer indications and changes in your mouth, face, and neck region. If your dentist identifies some cancer risk signs and symptoms, then he/she will do some more additional tests to screen for oral cancer. If your dentist finds any abnormal changes during the oral examination, then a biopsy will be carried out to detect cancer cells.  During a biopsy, a small piece of tissue from the affected area will be removed and checked for cancerous cells. Your dentist will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area where the biopsy is going to be done. Tissue taken from the area will be sent to a laboratory to test for the presence of cancer cells. If your dentist identifies lumps in your neck, then he will do a fine needle aspiration to get a sample of whatever is creating the bulge.  Your dentist will put a needle in the lump and draw out the cells and fluids contained within the lump. The fluid will be sent to a laboratory to check for the presence of cancerous cells. Tissue staining helps to identify the area where cancer cells are forming.  Your dentist will ask you to rinse your mouth with a blue colored dye (Toluidine Blue) or he/she...

Most desktop and laptop computers use a 3.5 mm mini-jack, the type that's compatible with standard headphones and earbuds, for audio output. An HDMI port can also be used for audio output. The most common "audio in" port will be the red and white RCA (composite) jacks for an A/V connection. Other possible audio-in ports include:  3.5 mm mini-jack Digital optical audio S/PDIF digital audio Depending on your computer's output port and the TV's input port, you will need one of the following:  3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable; 3.5 mm to RCA input cable; 3.5 mm to RCA adapter and RCA cable; 3.5 mm to Digital optical adapter and digital optical audio cable; 3.5 mm S/PDIF adapter and S/PDIF cable; HDMI to Digital optical adapter/extractor and digital optical audio cable; or HDMI to Digital S/PDIF adapter/extractor and S/PDIF audio cable If you're using an adapter/cable combination, connect the correct end of the cable to the adapter. If using an RCA cable, be sure to match the red and white connectors with the corresponding colors on the input. If using an RCA cable, be sure to match the red and white connectors with the corresponding colors on the input. Take note of the port number labeled on the TV.  It's a button on the remote or on the TV itself and is typically labeled "Input" or "Source." You should see a blank screen on the TV but hear the sounds generated by your computer over the TV's speakers. If you don't hear any sound: (1) Make sure the volume is up and mute is off on both the TV and your computer; and (2) Check your computer audio output or sound settings to make sure that the output is set to the headphone jack.

Most desktop programmers write code for business solutions, so getting an idea about businesses, their organizational and financial structure will be a big time-saver. An introductory level course in digital circuits design and another in computer architecture is useful; however, some see it as being advanced for a starting point, so reading two or three tutorial articles (such as this one and this one) might suffice. Then you can go back to this step later, after you learn your first programming language. Don't be shy to learn such a language just because you're older than being called a "kid". An example of these programming languages can be Scratch. These programming languages can ease up the pain in learning your first programming language tremendously. However, this step is optional. It can also be done before the preceding step.  No matter what language you choose later to be your language of choice, it will require procedural programming at some level. Also, procedural programming is reported by most programmers to be the easiest to use as a starting point to get the idea of programming in general.  You can make use of common small exercises in programming languages books. For this, choose a tool for writing programs in the programming language you are writing in. Make sure you understand the following concepts well and that you can apply them with relative ease before going forward:  Inputting and outputting information to users of a program. The logical flow and the execution flow of programs in procedural languages. Declaring, assigning and comparing variables. Branching programming constructs such as if..then..else and select/switch..case. Looping constructs such as while..do, do..while/until, for..next.

Most detergents labeled as cold-water detergents contain enzymes. However, you should read the ingredients just to be sure. Enzymes allow detergents to fight stains at a much lower temperature than traditional detergents. If possible, choose a detergent that lists protease as an active enzyme ingredient. It's the best at removing urine stains. Make sure to choose a color-safe detergent to avoid bleaching your colored clothing. Set the washing machine to a cool or cold water cycle. You may add similar-colored clothing according to package directions. Make the load a little lighter so that there is enough space for the washing machine to clean the clothing thoroughly. Avoid using a clothes dryer, as the heat might lock in the urine smell. Drying time won't take as long in an outdoor setting. When the garment is completely dry, check it for a lingering odor. If the odor is gone, you can wear your garment as usual. If not, repeat the washing process one more time.

Most diamond retailers hire their own gemologists and appraisers, but many consumers find it more desirable to request third party appraisal from an independent gemologist who specializes in the appraisal of diamonds. If you're going to invest in a stone, or are curious about a stone you already own, you'll want to be sure that the stone you've got is appraised accurately.  An appraisal involves two basic steps: first identifying and evaluating the stone in question, and then assigning value. When looking at independent appraisers, it would be ideal to select an appraiser with a Graduate Gemologist (GG) degree issued by a Gemological Institute in your country, who isn't involved directly in the sale of diamonds. This way, you can be sure that the science is sound. Aside from finding out whether or not the stone is fake, a good appraiser can answer a variety of questions about the quality of your stone to make sure that you're not getting ripped off. This is especially important if you've already purchased or inherited a stone. The gemologist should be able to tell you:   whether or not the stone is man-made or natural (Note: man-made diamonds are diamonds, just not "natural". See the section on detecting man-made diamonds for more detail.) whether or not the stone has been color-altered whether the stone has had permanent or temporary treatment added whether a stone matches the grading documentation provided by a retailer Whatever tests you choose to have performed, the best and most reliable way to tell if a diamond is real is to check the paperwork and speak to the gemologist or the appraiser. Certification and grading assures you that your stone has been "proven" real by experts. Proof is especially important if you're buying a stone sight-unseen, like from the Internet. Ask for a certificate. The certificate should be from a grading authority (e.g. GIA, AGSL, LGP, PGGL) or an independent appraiser who is affiliated with a professional organization (like the American Society of Appraisers) but not with any...

Most diaper packages have a see through side panel or a picture of the diaper on which you can see the design on the diapers. Buying diapers with a colorful design will enhance the fun look of the cake. Roll up a diaper, starting at the "open" top end. Wrap a rubber band around the rolled diaper to stop it from unrolling. Again, using colorful rubber bands can be a nice touch.This diaper will form the center of the layer. An alternative is to use a baby bottle as the center of the top layer. Place them around the center diaper (or baby bottle) so that they are all evenly spaced. Keep them together by placing a large rubber band around all of the diapers. Large rubber bands can be purchased at your local office supply store. The rolled up diapers should form a circle. Again, this can be a rolled up diaper or some oblong gift (such as a bottle of baby lotion). Roll up 15 more diapers and place them around the centerpiece. Secure them with a large rubber band. Place a rolled up diaper or a gift (perhaps a toy or rolled up piece of baby clothing) in the center. Roll up 30 diapers, securing each with its own rubber band. Place them around the centerpiece and secure with a large rubber band. For the base, make another middle layer. Then add about 30 more diapers around it using a larger rubber band. Next, carefully stack the other two layers on top of the base layer, being careful to get the dowels between the diapers and not through any of the diapers.

Most diffusers can be safely cleaned using the methods above. However, every diffuser is different. Yours may have special cleaning instructions, so refer to these when cleaning the diffuser. The longer you let water and oil sit in a diffuser, the harder it will be to clean. Each time you clean your diffuser, dump out any excess water or oil. This will keep your diffuser clean, cutting back on cleaning time. Never start cleaning your diffuser when it's still plugged into the wall. Each time you clean, unplug your diffuser. If there is any water or oil sitting in the diffuser, dispose of this before cleaning.

Most digital metronomes will use BPM or beats per minute as a way to measure the speed of the piece. Some mobile metronomes available for phones will even allow you to tap the beat on your screen to get the corresponding tempo.  On most quartz metronomes, the BPM is listed around the edge of the dial. Within the BPM selections, there are corresponding Italian words that are traditionally used to describe tempo, such as Allegro and Presto.  On wind-up models, you simply slide the weight up the metal bar to the desired tempo or the marking indicated on the music to be rehearsed. Many digital metronomes will allow you to set the time signature, but most wind-up metronomes do not. Time signatures consist of 2 numbers written how you would write a mathematical fraction. The top number indicates the number of beats in a measure. The bottom number indicates the value of the beat.  For example, a piece in 4/4 time would have 4 quarter notes in a measure, while a piece in 2/4 time would have 2 quarter notes in a measure. Some pieces of music may have several time signatures. To practice them with a metronome you will have to take it in parts and reset the metronome to match the changing time signatures. Setting the volume for the metronome is especially important for any digital devices. You want to find a volume that won't be drowned out by the music but isn't overwhelming either. Many swinging or wind-up metronomes will not have a volume control, but musicians can follow the swinging of the metronome to keep accurate time even if they are unable to hear the metronome over the music. Some electronic metronomes will also have an LED light that goes on and off in time with the beat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите темп. Установите тактовый размер. Установите уровень громкости.


Most discipline problems are better handled before they start. If you've got problem students, it's important to have the consequences of actions clearly defined and to follow through with the consequences swiftly. If a student forgets to bring their textbook to the classroom, what is the consequence? What if it happens again? What if the student actively defies you? You shouldn't have to struggle for an answer to these questions when they happen. Decide beforehand. If you start making exceptions for some students, the rest of the students will notice and your authority over the classroom will suffer. If you're going to punish one student for talking out, you've got to punish others for the same task. For this reason, it's important to only establish rules that you will be able to enforce and to enforce those rules. Rules aren't always dissuasive to students. It's important to remember that your students will forget pencils, screw around during work time, and generally break your rules. It's going to happen. If you have a difficult to enforce rule like "Three typos in a paper results in automatic failure," you can bet it will come up just as often as it will encourage your students to proofread. It's not generally a good idea to "make an example" of problem students. This can backfire quickly and easily, especially if you're an inexperienced teacher. Instead, it's important to take class clowns or troublemakers away from their audience and talk to them one-on-one. You'll see the stony exterior of these students start to crack in private. Arrange a conference with problematic students' parents, if necessary. Often, getting the student's parents on your team can be a quick and effective way at corralling trouble-making students. Ideally, your classroom should be neither too hot nor too cold, which produces the best results for student performance. Every now and then, though, you'll have a class full of goof-offs and troublemakers that are difficult to quiet down. If you're having consistent problems with the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Большинство проблем с дисциплиной нужно начинать искоренять сразу же, не дожидаясь продолжения. Если вы начнете делать исключения для некоторых учеников, остальные ученики заметят это, и ваша репутация пострадает. Поговорите с проблемными учениками один-на-один. Поддерживайте в классе оптимальную температуру.


Most doctors and dentists recommend that parents not try to do anything to speed up the natural process. Teeth that are extracted too early provide less of a guide to the teeth that grow in their place, and pulling to early can also have a negative impact on the correct order of eruption, which may also influence bite and mastication (chewing). Any child will tell you that this, too, is an unnecessarily painful option. Make sure that the tooth and the surrounding gum area looks healthy and is free of decay and infection. If the tooth becomes decayed, it may need to be surgically removed in a dental office. Not all parents choose to give their child permission to wiggle the tooth, but those who do might want to instruct their child to wiggle only with the tongue. This is for two reasons:  Wiggling with the hands can introduce bacteria and dirt into the mouth, clearing the way for infection. Children aren't exactly the cleanest creatures in the world, making this a recipe for poor dental health in addition to bad hygiene. The tongue is generally gentler than the hand. Children run a higher risk of accidentally pulling a tooth out before it's ready when they use their fingers to pull out the tooth. Wiggling the tooth with their tongues lowers the risk because the tongue can't grip onto the tooth in the same way that two fingers can. This way, your child will get used to the idea of a tooth coming out, and the image of a tooth pulled out with their tongue makes them less scared of blood or pain. Permanent teeth coming in behind baby teeth, sometimes known as "sharking" because of the two sets of teeth, is a reversible and common condition. As long as the dentist removes the baby tooth and gives it enough room to move into its intended position in the mouth, it shouldn't be an issue. If the child lets the tooth come out on its own, expect to see very little blood. Children who have waited the proper amount of time for their old tooth to fall out (sometimes as much as 2 to 3 months), there should be very little...

Most dogs do not like nail trims, so it's important to choose a time when your dog is relaxing. If he's in the mood to play, wait until he's lounging before approaching him for paw-handling training. Start by touching your dog's paws gently. If he doesn’t pull away or resist, start massaging the paw and gently pressing on his nails. Depending on your dog’s age and temperament, it may take a few sessions before he's used to paw handling. Repeat this exercise a few times daily until your dog stops reacting to paw handling. If your dog's had a bad experience in the past, he may resist nail trims. For example, if someone accidentally cut the "quick" (an area of the nail with a rich blood and nerve supply), he would have experienced pain and bleeding. Older dogs may have arthritis in their toes, and nail trimming may be uncomfortable. For dogs like this, it can be helpful to have them lie down while you carefully handle their nails.  Have them lie on their side while you do your paw-handling training exercises. Another way is to trim the nails while the dog is standing without lifting up the paw. Only do this if you are experienced with trimming nails. As you are massaging the paws and nails, take the opportunity to examine their health. Bring any pain, sore or raw spots, nail breakage, swelling or redness, lameness, or odd nail color to the attention of your veterinarian before you attempt to trim the nails.Trauma, infections, tumors, and immune diseases are the most common nail disorders in dogs.  Trauma usually only occurs in one nail and is caused by running on rough surfaces, catching a nail on an object, or improper nail trimming. Trauma or health conditions like diabetes and low thyroid levels can lead to bacterial infection in the nail. Bacterial infections usually cause swelling, pain, and discharge around the nails. Fungal and parasitic infections are less common than bacterial infections but cause similar symptoms. Tumors can take different forms: lumps, bumps, swellings, redness, or discharge. Immune...

Most dorms have strict rules about hanging decorations with nails and painting the walls, among other things. Always check the rules and regulations before you do anything that might be a violation.  Adhesive strips and hooks make it possible to hang nearly anything on your walls without leaving a mark, so don't feel that you are limited in your design options! Some dorms may also prohibit you from hanging anything from the ceiling, even if it doesn't create a hole. Most dorm rooms do not allow you to burn candles or incense, so look for fire-free ways to add a nice scent to your room, like oil diffusers. Fire codes may also limit what you are allowed to hang on your door. If you'll be sharing your room with one or more other students, it's a good idea to start talking to them as soon as possible to determine what each of you is bringing. You can coordinate so that each of you brings one or two large items that will be available for everyone to use.  For example, you can hang pictures on the right side of the dorm, and your roommate's on the left. It also helps to talk to your roommates about likes, dislikes, and color preferences. If you come up with a design plan together, your room will look much more cohesive.  Be sure to talk about practical things like dorm fridges, microwaves, and televisions, in addition to decor items. Go shopping for new items with your roommates if possible. This will be a great way to get to know each other while decorating your room. It helps a lot to know exactly how much space you will have to deal with before you start buying items to decorate your room with. If possible, visit the dorm rooms yourself and take measurements of everything (Including the existing furniture). If you can't do it yourself, call your college and see if they can provide you with measurements. Remember that you can't fill every square inch of your floor space with furniture. When deciding how much will really fit, be sure to take walking space into consideration. You do have to deal with the furniture...

Most ear piercing infections are uncomfortable, but, provided action is taken, are never a serious problem. While newly-pierced ears can have a lingering tender feeling for days or weeks, an actual infection usually comes with redness, swelling, and irritation. If your piercing is exhibiting these symptoms, you probably have a minor infection. Not to worry - most piercing infections go away with a few days of treatment at home. . Most piercing infections are the result of bacteria being introduced into the piercing. This can be from a variety of sources, though dirty piercing equipment, dirty earrings, and dirty hands are among the most common. The next few steps will require you to touch your ears and earrings with your hands, so, before beginning, be sure to carefully wash with an antibacterial soap them to make them as clean and sterile as possible. If you're extra-worried about the germs on your hands, you may even wear a pair of sterile gloves as you work. When your hands are cleaned, carefully remove the earring from the infected piercing. Use a clean cotton swab or Q-tip to apply an anti-bacterial cleaning solution to both sides of the piercing. In terms of cleaning solutions, you may have several options. Some earrings come with a solutions specifically-designed for this purpose. If yours did not, most commercial antiseptic solutions (especially ones containing benzalkonium chloride) intended for similar uses will work well. Some medical sources recommend rubbing alcohol, while others recommend against it. Next, clean your earring's post (the part that sits in the piercing) with the same antiseptic solution you cleaned your ear with. After doing this, apply a thin coating of antibiotic ointment or cream to the post. This will help to kill bacteria inside the piercing when the earring is re-inserted. Finally, put the earring back in. Perform this routine - removing the earring, cleaning the outside of the piercing, cleaning and applying antibiotic ointment to the post, and re-inserting the earring -...

Most electric shavers are designed to tackle stubble not long, thick facial hair, so you will need to use a beard trimmer to trim away most of the mustache. Apply a pre-shave product to dry skin. These products differ for electric shavers. Instead of pre-shave oils one might use with a cartridge or safety razor, most electric pre-shave products are alcohol based or powders. These products help the hair stand straight up to get a closer shave with less irritation. If you have naturally dry or very sensitive skin, you may prefer pre-shave powders to alcohol-based products. Use your fingers to pull down around the edges of your mouth gently. This makes a nice taut surface over your upper lip for the electric shaver to pass. For rotary electric shavers, you’ll use small circular motions to get the best result. For a foil electric shaver, you will use straight strokes.  Regardless of the shaver type you use, make slow passes to give each hair plenty of time to pass across the cutting surface. Though discouraged with razor blades, shaving against the grain with an electric shaver can yield the closest shave results since it helps raise the hair. The aftershave product you need depends on your skin type. For people with dry or sensitive skin, they may prefer aftershave balms, whereas those with oily skin will likely opt for an aftershave splash with a toner.

Most electronic component soldering is done to fasten components to a PCB (printed circuit board). Therefore, an iron with a smaller tip is recommended. Consider a small flathead tip for ordinary work, or a conical point tip for fine detail soldering.  Soldering irons don't have exchangeable tips, so you'll need to buy the one(s) you want. Fortunately, they start at around $15 in price, and a good quality iron can be had for around twice that. A typical soldering iron for electronics work will be a 40-watt iron that has a temperature (or a temperature setting) of 900 degrees. This allows the iron to easily melt electronics solder without damaging the small wires of the components themselves. Both solid wire and Rosin-cored solders area available at stores and online. Be sure the solder you choose will bond to the materials you are trying to solder. Using solid wire solder may require a separate flux to break the oxide coating and allow the solder to bond. 60/40 tin and lead solder used to be the standard for electronics soldering, however due to the toxicity of lead it has fallen out of favor. Tin and silver solder is generally preferred today. The silver raises the melting point slightly to 430F, raises the price, but helps the solder to bind more smoothly. The numbers in solder descriptions are percentages of the element in the solder alloy. (60Sn/40Pb = 60% tin and 40% lead) Plug in the iron and let it warm up on its stand for a few minutes. Be sure to gently wipe it across a sponge if it's been used previously, as described above. Tin it (as described above) once it's clean. When you're ready, set out your components, clips, and solder. Put a component in the spot you want to solder it. If soldering to a PCB, be sure the wires of the component are appropriately placed through its pinholes. For most components, use a small clip or clamp to hold them in place once you've set them. Hold a length of solder with your non-dominant hand. Use a long length to ensure that you'll be able to keep your hand well away...

Most exercise plans recommend working out for five days of the week and taking two days to rest. Depending on your current fitness level, you may want to commit to doing light exercise every day or more intense exercise every other day. Rather than overdo your workouts, focus on being consistent and sticking to an exercise plan that is realistic and specific to the needs of your body. Create a workout schedule so you are exercising at the same time every day. This could be every morning at the gym before work, every other day during lunch, or every night several hours before bed. Look at your schedule for the week and pencil in workout time so it is part of your day and you cannot miss it or forget about it. Start every workout with light cardio as you never want to stretch or put stress on cold muscles. Do a light five to ten-minute jog in place. Use a jump rope and jump in place for five minutes. Or, go for a ten-minute run to activate your muscles and break a sweat. It's important to stretch your muscles after your five to ten minute cardio warm up so you do not injure yourself while doing high-intensity exercises. You should also stretch for five to ten minutes at the end of your workout. Stretching will keep you from pulling your muscles or harming your body. Do basic leg and arm stretches so your bigger muscles are warmed up and ready to work during your exercise routine. Practice lunge stretches, quadricep stretches, calf stretches, and butterfly stretches. HIIT is an exercise program that alternates intense exercises with short intervals of recovery or rest. This type of exercise will help you burn fat fast. High-intensity exercises force your body to use the sugars in your body and allows you to burn fat faster than low-intensity workouts. You will also use stored body fat during the recovery phase, which will reduce your stored body fat. You can perform HIIT exercises with gym equipment, or an exercise mat and a few free weights. There are several popular HIIT programs, including:  The Beach Body...

Most experienced tic tac toe players put the first "X" in a corner when they get to play first. This gives the opponent the most opportunities to make a mistake. If your opponent responds by putting an O anywhere besides the center, you can guarantee a win. In this example, you are going first, and using X as your symbol. Your opponent goes second, and uses O.    If your opponent plays their first O in the center, you have to wait for them to make a mistake before you can win. If they continue to play correctly, they can guarantee a tie. Here are your two options for your second move, followed by instructions on how to win if they make certain moves (if they don't, just keep blocking their plays and the game will be a tie):  Place your second X in the opposite corner from your first, so there's a line going "X O X" diagonally across the board. If they respond with an O in one of the other corners, you can win! Place your third X in the last empty corner, and your opponent won't be able to block you from winning with your fourth X.      Or, place your second X on an edge square (not a corner), not touching your first X. If your opponent puts down an O in the corner that's not next to your X, you can use your third X to block their move and automatically win with your fourth X.    If your opponent puts his first O in any square besides the center, you can win. Respond by putting your second X in any other corner, with an empty space in between the two X's. For example, say your first X is in the top left square, and your opponent puts an O in the top middle square. You can put your second X in the bottom left corner, or the bottom right corner. Don't put it in the top right, since that would put an O between your two X's instead of an empty space.    Most of the time, your opponent will see that you have two X's in a row and block you. (If not, just win by making a row of three X's.) After this happens, there should be an empty square that is in line with both your first and your second X, with no enemy O's...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте первый Х в углу. Постарайтесь выиграть, если ваш соперник ставит первый О в центральную клетку. Вы выиграете автоматически, если ваш соперник поставит свой первый О в любую клетку, кроме центральной. Поставьте третий  Х так, чтобы получить два возможных победных хода. Выиграйте, поставив четвертый Х.


Most experts recommend not fertilizing a tree in the first year, as it needs to develop its roots. In following years, you should withhold fertilizing a tree unless it is growing. Too much fertilizer early on can affect fruit growth and actually cause the tree to grow slower. For best results, you would fertilize your trees in early spring before bud growth. If you fail to fertilize before buds grow, you can still fertilize in late June. However, avoid fertilizing in late summer and early fall. New growth on the trees during these times will be damaged by frost in the winter. In order to assess when to increase the level of fertilizer, you'll need to measure tree growth. Trees have what are called growth rings. These are rings that mark the point where a branch started growing the previous year. To measure tree growth, measure each branch from its growth ring to the end of the branch. Then, take the average of all your measurements. This average is the level which your tree grew that year. Based on the amount your trees are growing, you may need to adjust how you use fertilizer. Make sure you know what's normal for your types of fruit trees.  Younger apple trees should be growing at a rate of 12 inches per year. If they grow less, increase your fertilizer by 50% between years 2 and 3. For pear trees, make sure to fertilize if they're growing less than 6 inches per year. For other types of fruit trees, withhold fertilizer until the tree begins to bear fruit. Once fruit begins to grow, start fertilizing the tree each year with fertilizer with a 10-10-10 ratio. The amount of fertilizer you need depends on the age and size of your tree. A simple calculation can be used to determine the precise amount of fertilizer to use. Trees need one tenth of a pound (0.10 pound) of nitrogen per year of growth (0.20 for a 2 year-old tree, 0.30 for a 3 year-old tree, etc.), or per inch of trunk diameter. Divide the amount of actual nitrogen your tree needs by the amount of nitrogen in your chosen fertilizer to determine how...

Most external hard drives are pre-formatted to work with Windows computers, but this severely limits their functionality on a Mac. If your new external drive is formatted for Windows, you'll be able to read from it but you won't be able to write to it. You can format it to the proper file system using Disk Utility.  On the Desktop, click the "Go" menu, select "Utilities," and then "Disk Utility." Formatting the drive will erase everything on it. This is fine for new drives, but if you're trying to use an older drive that already has files on it, you'll need to save them before you start formatting. You'll see a list of all of your connected drives in this menu. Select your new external drive from the list. If you don't see your drive here, see the next section. This will start the drive formatting process. This will erase everything on the hard drive, so make sure any important data has been backed up. If the drive is in Windows format, you can still copy the files you want to save to your Mac before formatting it. This format is compatible with Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, allowing you to move your hard drive easily between systems. unlike earlier versions of FAT, there are no practical limits on file size or volume size, which means you can use it on any size drive. If you're only planning on using the drive with your Mac, select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)." This will allow you to take advantage of all of your Mac's features with the drive, such as Time Capsule. This is irreversible, and will erase all data that is currently on the drive. The time the format takes will vary depending on the size of the drive. Once the drive has been formatted properly, it will appear on your desktop. Double-click it to open it, and you should be able to add file to it and remove files from it.

Most fake Nike shoes do not come in an original Nike box. Instead, they are shrink-wrapped in clear plastic or don't come in a box at all. Most of the boxes for fake Nikes are hastily glued together and therefore not as sturdy as true Nike boxes. If you have owned similar Nike shoes in the past, compare them to your new shoes. If the two pairs significantly differ in quality, your new shoes are likely fake and may fall apart within the first several days of use.  Real Nikes are always softer than fake ones. This is because they are made from real leather, while fake Nikes are manufactured from pleather. The midsoles of fake Nike shoes tend to have visible dots from the manufacturing process, unlike real Nikes. Check the lacing. Real Nike shoes are usually fully laced, while fakes tend to skip every other lacing hole. Every pair of authentic Nike shoes comes with an SKU number that is identical to the SKU number on their box. If the numbers are missing or do not match, they are likely fakes. Check the tongue label. Often, fake Nike manufacturers put outdated sizing labels on the inside of the shoe. For example, a fake label may tell you the shoe was designed in 2008 when in fact Nike first manufactured that item in 2010. The soles of most fake Nike sneakers feel plastic-y and don't have much traction, while real Nike shoes have BRS 1000 rubber soles. Most fake Nike sneakers do not fit true to size. They generally are 1/2 size smaller and significantly narrower than real Nikes. Try the same Nike shoe in a trusted retailer to get an accurate reading of how it feels.

Осмотрите упаковку. Проверьте состояние обуви. Проверьте номер SKU (Stock Keeping Unit, в переводе — «складская учётная единица») на коробке и на этикетке внутри вашей пары обуви. Примерьте кроссовки.


Most fake sapphires are made from glass. While yellow glass may look similar to yellow sapphire at a glance, the two are drastically different when compared with one another. In general, yellow glass is too big and too colorful to be real. Sapphires can have several interior inclusions, but yellow sapphires of high quality will not have inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. Fake sapphires, on the other hand, often have tiny bubbles inside. Sapphire of any color is extremely hard. Diamond is the hardest gemstone, ranking a 10 on the Moh's scale of mineral hardness, and sapphire ranks at 9.0 on the same scale. As such, very few materials can scratch a sapphire. Glass, on the other hand, ranks between 5.5 and 6.0 and is scratched much more easily. A glass imitation of yellow sapphire often has lots of surface scratches, while real sapphire has very few, if any. Since glass is not as hard as sapphire, it is cut much more easily. Yellow glass stones are cut quite simply and usually have smooth, rounded edges. On the other hand, yellow sapphires have more complex cuts that are sharp and crisp.

TL;DR in Russian:

Most falls and injuries occur with new or inexperienced skateboarders.  If you have some practice under your belt before talking to your parents about getting your own skateboard, you can point to that experience to justify why you’re ready for your own board.  Start slow when learning how to skateboard.  Ask your more experienced skateboarding friends for guidance and advice about how to maneuver and use the board properly. Use the experience on your friend’s board to practice falling safely. Skateboarding really does carry the risk of serious injury to the body, especially the head and arms.  Promise to wear all the appropriate safety gear, including a helmet, elbow and knee pads, wrist guards, and appropriate shoes.  Choose a helmet that fits snugly on your head.  It should not be too tight or too loose, and sit low on your forehead.  The straps should form a “V” around your ears. Skateboarding is not recommended for children younger than five. If you’re between the ages of six and ten, you should agree to supervision from a family member or trusted adult. Agree to accept your parents’ safety instructions. Promise to avoid doing risky stunts.  Don't lie to your parents just to convince them to buy one for you. For example, don't say you will always wear a helmet if you aren't planning to once you get a skateboard. If you do this, your parents will probably just return the skateboard. Skating in the street can be dangerous, and skating in certain locations can be illegal.  Do not skate in the street or use homemade skate ramps.  Only use your board in approved public areas or skateparks. If your parents only want you skating around the neighborhood, promise them that you will not go anywhere else.

TL;DR in Russian:

Учитесь кататься на скейтборде друга. Покажите, что вы цените безопасность. Сообщите родителям, что будете кататься только в безопасных местах.


Most famous people will react in a fairly predictable manner if someone is going nuts over them. Unless the celebrity in question is a total diva, chances are she isn't going to want to have a fuss made over her. If you are talking to a famous person, your best bet is to interact with them much as you would with a regular person you have respect for. If you don't think you can meet this person without bursting into hysterics, it's probably best to hold off on meeting the person altogether. Although it depends on their level of fame, famous people tend to be used to people sucking up to them or going nuts at their mere presence. If you stay calm and act towards them like you would anyone else, they will feel soothed by your presence. Act as you regularly would. If you're not focused so much on the fact that you're in the presence of a celebrity, the interaction will turn out much more fluidly. If the famous person you are talking to has been featured in tabloids lately, it's probably not a good idea to bring that up. In fact, it is best that you try to steer clear of anything of a potentially inflammatory nature. Although it may be celebrity gossip to everyone else, this person has a life, and he may not want to talk about it, especially with someone he's just met.  On the topic of politeness, you should ask before taking pictures. While it might feel very important for you to get a souvenir of the occasion, snapping a photograph is really inconsiderate. Politeness includes not interrupting a conversation between the celebrity and someone else. While you may be desperate to get an inch in, it's not gong to do anything to get you in the VIP's good graces. Most people approach meeting a celebrity as a one-sided ordeal. While it indeed may be more special to meet someone you've only seen before in newspapers or films, that doesn't mean the conversation should be all about the celebrity. Don't be afraid to give your opinions. Comment on things that have nothing to do with the fact that the person you're talking to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Most fevers are beneficial and shouldn't be artificially reduced or suppressed, but sometimes it's necessary to prevent serious complications, such as a febrile seizures, coma or brain damage. To best understand how to treat a fever, make an appointment with your doctor if it doesn't go away within a week or if the temperature is considered high (see above). Your doctor has all the instruments necessary to take a temperature reading in the most appropriate area — either orally, rectally, under the armpit or in the ear canal.  It's time to take your feverish child to the doctor if they have a high fever (>101°F or 38.3°C) and are: listless, irritable, vomiting, makes poor eye contact, appears very sleepy most of the time and/or has completely lost their appetite. Keep in mind that since children are smaller and growing, they might become seriously dehydrated sooner if a fever continues more than a couple days. Adults should see their doctor if they develop a high fever (>103°F or 39.4°C) and any of the following: severe headache, throat swelling, bad skin rash, light sensitivity, stiff neck, confusion, irritability, chest pain, abdominal pain, constant vomiting, numbness and tingling in limbs and/or seizures.  If the high fever is caused by a bacterial infection, then your doctor may recommend antibiotics first in order to control or eliminate the infection. Acetaminophen is not only a painkiller (analgesic), but it's also a strong antipyretic, which means it can trigger the hypothalamus in the brain to lower body temperature. In other words, it works by turning down your brain's thermostat. Acetaminophen is typically best and safest for young children with high fevers (using the weight-appropriate dosage recommendations on the box) and also helpful for teenagers and adults.  For a high fever, it's recommended to take a dose of acetaminophen every 4 to 6 hours. For adults, the maximum recommended daily dose of acetaminophen is 3,000 mg.  Taking too much acetaminophen or taking it for too long can be toxic and...

Most fish illnesses can be addressed by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the tank. With all of these conditions, try this approach first, and then move on to medications if you don’t see improvement.  Keep track of the symptoms in case you need to consult an aquatic veterinarian to treat your fish. Immediately remove a sick fish from a tank. A fish that has a fungal infection will be paler than usual, will not be active, and will have clumped together fins. Most noticeable will be the white, cotton-like patches on its body.  Eliminate a fungal infection by cleaning the tank and treating fresh water with fungus eliminator. Repeat every three days until visible signs of fungus have disappeared. Treat the water with BettaZing or Bettamax to dissolve any remnants of the fungus. Fungal infections are typically the result of a tank that has not been properly treated with salt and Aquarisol. Fungal infections are highly infectious, so this disorder should be treated rapidly. Quarantine infected fish. In this case, your Betta fish’s fins and/or tail will turn black or red along the edges. The fin will appear to be dissolving and getting shorter. You might see holes or tears in the fin.   Clean the tank once every three days. Add either Ampicillin or Tetracycline into the water to treat it. Repeat until your fish’s fin ceases to show signs that is still losing tissue. Put some fungus eliminator in the water to facilitate recovery. The tail will repair itself over time, but might not obtain its original luster.  If not treated, this condition can progress to the point where it begins to eat away at your fish’s body. Ultimately, it will be fatal. If the belly of the fish is enlarged, the fish might have some blockage that needs to be corrected. You might notice an absence of excrement in the tank. The fish might have trouble swimming upright, swimming instead on its side or even upside down. This is a sign of overfeeding. The condition can easily be treated by reducing how much you feed your Betta fish. Your fish...

Most formal introductions will relate to the workplace, but they can also take place during formal social events, or if you're with distinguished people. If you're introducing people in a formal setting, then you should use the first and last names of the people, along with the phrases,"May I present", "I'd like to introduce", or "Have you met..." Some people think you should not use the word "introduce," as it can cause confusion or come off as too direct, but it's up to you to decide. Here's what you should do:  Name the person of greater rank or authority first. Use both first and last names, and include any title such as "Dr./Sir". For example, "Dr. Jones, may I introduce Stephanie Smith. Dr. Jones is my art history professor. Stephanie is an art history major." Include relevant details as you introduce the two together, such as any established relationship you have with the person you're introducing. For example, you might say: "Mr. Boss, may I present Mark Jones. Mr. Boss is my boss. Mark Jones is my associate." For a less formal occasion, such as your backyard barbecue, you can simply present both people to one another by name by saying something like, "Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet." You can also connect the people more casually and say something like, "I've been dying for you to meet..."In an informal setting, you can worry less about how to phrase everything and more about getting people talking. Using first names only is fine in informal situations. In this case, you will need to spend a little time introducing the newcomer to each individual of the group unless it's a small, informal group where a general introduction would suffice and it's neither time-consuming nor disruptive to name each member of the group while you have the group's attention.  For more formal, larger groups, introduce the newcomer to the whole group first, then take the newcomer to each person and introduce by name: "Caroline, this is Fitzwilliam, my boss; Lydia, this is Fitzwilliam, my boss," etc. Continue working your...

Most fryers can handle a bird up to 18 pounds (8.2 kg), but you risk displacing too much oil if you use the largest size that will fit into your fryer. Also, smaller birds tend to cook more evenly. You can estimate about 1 serving of turkey for every pound (0.4 kg) of bird, so a 15 pounds (6.8 kg) turkey will serve up to 15 people. Leave your turkey in the refrigerator until it's thawed out. It's extremely important that your turkey be completely thawed out before you attempt to fry it. Ice crystals can cause your oil to spatter or even explode, which can cause severe burns to anyone standing nearby.  Allow your turkey to thaw for 24 hours for each 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of weight. For instance, a 15 pounds (6.8 kg) turkey would need to defrost in the refrigerator for 3 days. To make sure the turkey is completely thawed, feel it inside and out to make sure there are no cold or hard spots in the meat. Be sure to check between the ribs inside of the turkey's cavity, since this is often the last place to thaw. and the neck if your turkey is fresh. Most turkeys you buy from the grocery store already have the neck removed, but if you have a fresh one, it may still be attached. This will help ensure that the oil can flow freely through the bird, helping it to cook more evenly. Most frozen turkeys will already have this done, but fresh turkeys will not. The turkey should be covered by about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of water, and you should have 5 inches (13 cm) between the water level and the top of the fryer. You can either measure the water as you put it into the pot or after you remove the turkey.  If you don't have enough space between the water and your fryer, you run the risk of oil splashing out while your turkey is cooking. Dry the frying pot thoroughly after you pour out the water. Make sure to do this step before you dry and season the turkey. Feel inside the cavity and between the ribs to make sure there are no remaining ice crystals, then use paper towels to completely dry the turkey inside and out. You can purchase...

Most games that you download will come with a README text file. It is highly recommended that you read this file before proceeding with the installation, as many downloaded games require some special steps in order to get them to work. If the game came in ISO format, you'll need to mount the file as a virtual disc or burn it to an actual disc to use it. Windows 8 and 10 users can right-click the ISO file and select "Mount" to "insert" the ISO file into the virtual drive. Windows 7 and later users can burn ISO files by right-clicking the ISO file and selecting burn to disc.  If you can't mount or burn the ISO file, see How to Burn ISO Files to DVD and How to Mount an ISO Image. Not all downloaded games come in ISO format. You may have a traditional setup file instead. Start the installation from the disc, or run the setup file. The process for installing is going to be different for every game. Pay close attention to any installation instructions and make sure to follow the steps exactly. If you don't follow the steps, there's a good chance the game won't work.  During the installation procedure, you may have to run a crack program to bypass copyright protection. Be very careful when running crack programs, as these are by far one of the most common ways that viruses are transmitted. If you want to be absolutely safe, install the game on a virtual machine first and apply the crack. Monitor the virtual machine for any signs of infection. If the game is clean, then you can install it on your actual computer. See How to Use VMware Workstation for a guide on setting up and using a virtual machine. Once the game is installed, you should be able to play it. You'll still need to refer to the README file, as many cracked games will still need you to follow specific steps to start it. This could include running a different executable from the game's directory, or applying a special crack each time you start it. Remember, software piracy is illegal in most areas. The instructions above should only be used for games that...
