While it’s tempting to pick up a cute colored chick at Easter or have one in a classroom, remember that baby chicks are animals and not toys. Many people think it’s acceptable to release a chick into their backyards or an animal shelter when it grows beyond the cute, fuzzy stage. Before you get your chick, make sure you are fully committed to caring for it over the course of its life. A clean habitat is key to your chick’s health. Help keep it clean with daily spot cleaning and a thorough cleaning once a week.  Remove any soiled lining and replace it as necessary. Replace all of the lining at least once a week. Wash your chick’s water and food dish at least once a week with a mild soap and hot water. Make sure to thoroughly dry the dishes to prevent the development of bacteria that can harm your chick.  Wipe down any soiled walls or bases. If you are using a cardboard box, consider giving your chick a new one if it is soiled or smells bad. Your chick will eat special food for the first few months of her life. Make sure she has plenty of food and allow her to graze throughout the day on it.  Provide your chick food specially formulated for chicks for the first two months of her life. You may get either a medicated or non-medicated food depending on your chick’s needs or your personal preference. You can get chick food at either your vet’s office or a pet store. Switch to grower feed, which is about 17% protein, when your chick turns two months old. After another two months, you’ll switch the feed again to a slightly lower protein choice or a layer feed. Make sure your chick has a constant supply of food and water because she will grow quickly. Refill food as necessary and make sure you clean her food dish at least once a week. Throw away any feed that is old, moldy, or stale. Just as your chick needs a constant supply of food, she also needs a steady amount of fresh water. Place a small dish of fresh water in your chick’s cage every day and refresh it as necessary. Check the dish a couple of times a day to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте готовы уделять цыпленку достаточно времени. Поддерживайте чистоту в гнезде. Кормите цыпленка. Давайте цыпленку свежую воду. Установите в гнезде песчаную или грязевую ванну. Играйте со своим цыпленком. Найдите человека, который будет ухаживать за цыпленком, пока вы в отъезде. Следите за здоровьем цыпленка.


While it’s true that a job well done is its own reward, a project with several rewards is even better. Let yourself buy a pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing, go out to a fancy dinner or have a party to celebrate. Envision how good it will feel to have the experience. Athletes picture the finish line to improve their chances of success. If you are stuck, then start a brainstorming session with a friend or a colleague. Someone else’s perspective and enthusiasm can improve your results and motivation. Watch a YouTube clip, listen to your favorite song or read a few pages in your favorite book before you start each day. Try to associate the project with positive motivation in your life. If you didn’t get much sleep last night, take a 20-minute nap. If you are feeling full or sluggish, go on a 15-minute walk around the building to sharpen your thoughts.

TL;DR in Russian:

Спланируйте личную награду за завершение проекта или задания. Представьте чувство  завершения проекта. Получите идеи от кого-то другого. Создайте положительный ритуал. Увеличьте вашу энергию, когда она в упадке.


While listening to a beat on repeat, allow yourself to free-associate or even freestyle out loud to get your creative juices flowing. Do this for a while without setting pen to paper. When you're ready, make a list of every concept, unique perspective, or potential lyric that popped into your head. Allow these to guide and inspire the content of your song as you move forward. Let your ideas brew for a while. Carry a notepad around with you so that if you get a flash of inspiration while you’re on a bus, working out, or buying groceries, you can capture the moment and hopefully expand on it. If you were writing a term paper, you'd start with a thesis. But this is a rap song so start with a hook (a.k.a. chorus). The hook should not only capture the theme of the song but, more importantly, be catchy and unique as well. A great hook will often inspire other elements of the song such as the beat or other lyrics, so don’t settle for something that doesn’t prompt any other ideas. If you’re having trouble coming up with something out of the blue, riff off of or respond to a line you love from another rap song. Just don’t copy anything outright or you may find yourself in legal trouble. "Drop it like it's hot" was originally a throw-off line from a Hot Boys single in the early 2000s, but Snoop Dogg turned it into a huge hit several years later! . Choose points from your brainstorm list that inspire you and flesh them out. Of course, this is where your skills as a lyricist and as a rhymer will show through. If you're an experienced rapper, play to your strengths. If metaphors are your game, let yourself move on the strength of your metaphors. If you're a natural storyteller, let a narrative emerge from the words. Stay out of your own way. The biggest mistake you can make when you first get started writing lyrics is that you want to "say" something, and force abstract concepts into your lyrics. Be specific. Use concrete words, phrases, and images in your words to keep your idea in the background. While some people might...

While loosening your belt after a meal seems like a silly cliche, it can help in this case. Increased pressure on your abdomen and lower esophageal sphincter help push up the stomach acids that cause heartburn. Looser clothing, especially after big meals, will help relieve heartburn. Sometimes heartburn symptoms are caused by plain old gravity. By lying down after a meal — when those stomach acids are most active — they can flow more easily toward your esophagus and get past your esophageal sphincter. Avoid lying down for 30 – 60 minutes after a meal. Generally avoid late meals as well since you should wait at least three hours after a meal before going to bed. If you prefer not to take medications, then you can often alleviate your heartburn with simple baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Mix one teaspoon in a glass of water, and drink it after your meal or when signs of heartburn begin. Do not exceed five teaspoons of baking soda in a day without first talking to your doctor. You can choose from a wide array of OTC products that target heartburn. The three most common classes of these drugs are antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors.  Antacids (products such as Tums) provide quick, short-term relief for heartburn by neutralizing your stomach acid.  H2 blockers—ranitidine (Zantac) and famotidine (Pepcid)—slow the production of stomach acid. These products take up to an hour to work, but they work for a longer period of time.  Proton pump inhibitors—omeprazole (Prilosec) and lansoprazole (Prevacid 24HR)—slow your body’s production of stomach acid even more. These products are generally used for heartburn that isn’t controlled by antacids or H2 blockers and that occurs more frequently than two days a week. Sometimes people experience heartburn when they go to bed even after waiting several hours after dinner. If heartburn disrupts your ability to sleep, try slightly angling the head of your bed. By lying at a gentle slope instead of parallel to the ground, you can help alleviate heartburn symptoms. ...

While lying flat on your stomach, bend your knees so that your feet point up toward the ceiling and reach behind you to grab your ankles. Lift up with your arms and feet to feel a nice stretch in your shoulders and abs.  Hold the pose for 20-30 seconds, then exit the bow pose on an exhale breath. You may repeat the pose several times for better results. Once your body adjusts to this level of stretching, a more advanced move would be to reach farther up and grab the tips of your toes. This will pull your legs more upward toward the ceiling, and stretch all of the muscles being used even further. Get on all fours with your palms flat on the ground and your legs hip-width apart. As you inhale, tilt your head back toward the ceiling and push your bellybutton down towards the ground. Hold this position for several breaths. On an exhale breath, bring your head down and tuck your chin to your chest as you arch your back up towards the ceiling. Hold this pose for several breaths. For an extra back stretch, slowly slide your arms forward on the mat while arching your back until you get your arms and chest to touch the ground. Lie on your stomach with your elbows bent and your hands by your sides. Slowly straighten your arms as you inhale, lifting your upper body, and tilt your head back towards the ceiling. Make sure your pelvis stays firmly planted on the ground.  Keep your leg muscles tensed and thigh muscles contracted. Hold the position for at least 40 seconds and let your muscles stretch with the pose. Once you become comfortable with this pose, you can try bending your legs upward at the knees and reaching your head back to touch your toes. Kneel on the ground with your big toes touching and your heels pointed outwards apart. Walk your hands forward on the ground in front of you and keep your tailbone planted firmly on top of your feet. Once your arms are fully extended in front of you, push your forehead down toward the ground. Hold this pose for one to two minutes while you inhale and exhale. Inhaling will...

While many families may already have an annual tradition, make sure to send your invites early if this is the first year organizing a family Christmas. When creating your invite list, make sure that you are aware of any conflicts between family members or extended family to avoid any awkwardness. Depending on how many people you invite, be sure to create a menu for enough people and with plenty of recipes you can cook ahead of time.  If you're inviting a large number of people, save yourself time and energy by asking for contributions to the meal. Make sure to keep an organized list to get enough variety for everyone and that anyone cooking is comfortable making their assigned dish. Organize games and activities if there are a lot of children in your family. Young children may get easily restless in anticipation of opening their presents. Whether traveling on your own or with others, Christmas is one of the busiest times of year to travel so book your holiday in advance. Many people choose to escape the cold weather and look to vacation in warmer climates. Create a budget and look for all-inclusive packages to help save money.  Ensure that you are able to take the time off of work before planning any vacation. Other coworkers may have already booked the time off. Read reviews or consult a travel agent if you do not know where you would like to take your vacation. Do not book your travel itinerary without researching the pros and cons of your destination. Vacationing should be an escape from any stress so put in the work beforehand to ensure a fun filled getaway. Add some Christmas cheer to your office by organizing a gift exchange or Secret Santa. Simply place everyone's name in a hat or organize a system in which each co-worker is anonymously assigned a fellow co-worker to buy a gift for. Make sure that there is a price limit and to stress that gifts should be appropriate for your work environment. For a more random exchange, create a cakewalk in which everyone buys a gift. Set a price limit so that no one...

While many families use the Chinese birth chart after a child has been conceived, some couples look to the birth calendar before conception to select a boy or girl specifically. Whatever gender your child is, you're sure to love them; but what if you could figure it all out beforehand? Birth charts that don't use the lunar calendar as a guide aren't accurate. Beware of readings that use the Gregorian Calendar. Be sure to select dates based on the date of conception, especially when considering age. Select how old you were at the time of conception, not how old you currently are. Science has been unable to verify the accuracy of the Chinese birth chart, so be careful using the chart solely to determine or predict the gender of your child. There are several ways to scientifically predict the gender of your unborn baby — ultrasound, amniocentesis — but the Chinese birth chart is not one of them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте таблицу рождения, чтобы попытаться выбрать желаемый пол будущего ребенка. Помните, что точные показания основаны на китайском лунном календаре и датах на момент зачатия. Знайте, что нет научных подтверждений для китайской таблицы по определению пола ребенка.


While many objects may seem harmless to your dog or you don't expect them to be interested in them, it is best to keep small objects and human toys off of the floor or any reachable areas where your dog will be spending time.  There are many products in your house and yard that are dangerous to dogs and should be kept well out of reach by locking them in a storage area or putting them somewhere the dog doesn't have access to. Some of the more common ones include, household cleaners, insecticides, fertilizers, and mouse and rat poisons. Both house plants and plants in your yard or garden can be toxic, including rhododendrons, chrysanthemum, and oleander. Identify the plants in your home and garden and then contact your veterinarian or look online at sites such as the ASPCA and Pet poison helpline for complete lists of pet toxins. Also, medicines both human and animal, can be toxic to your dog, especially if consumed in large amounts. Some of the foods that we eat, including chocolate, onions, raisins and grapes, and even sugarless chewing gums, can be toxic to dogs as well and should be kept well out of reach. Before you bring your dog home one of the first things to decide on is where your dog will be spending their time. Think about what areas of the house they will be allowed to access and what areas you want to keep off limits. These rules should be enforced from the very beginning to avoid confusion.  Your dog will need designated areas to eat and sleep and plenty of space to play and exercise. Initially you may want to limit the areas the dog has access to so that you can watch them closely until you get to know them and their behavior better. The kitchen or another area that is convenient to clean is a good place to set up food and water bowls. Once you decide on a place, you will want to keep them there at all times. Next decide where your dog will sleep. Some people like to have their dog sleep in the bed with them, while others prefer to get a doggie bed or crate for them to sleep separately. Be...

While many people believe that Vitamin E helps scars, it can actually cause rashes or irritation. To be safe, don't put Vitamin E oil, gel, or capsules on your scar. Hydrogen peroxide has the effect of destroying skin cells. By using hydrogen peroxide, you’ll inhibit the growth of healthy cells and prolong the longevity of a scar. Instead of using hydrogen peroxide to clean a wound, try antibiotic ointment or aloe vera. Many people recommend allowing a cut or scar to “breathe.” Unfortunately, this has the impact of inhibiting cell growth. Instead, cover your cut and keep it moist with aloe vera or something similar. Use an adhesive bandage or gauze to cover the cut or scar. Whenever a wound or scar is healing, you should stay out of the sun. Sun exposure could undermine the ability of the skin to heal correctly. It could make the scar worse. As a result, if you must go outside, make sure to wear a wide-brimmed hat, long clothes, and sunscreen.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не используйте средства с витамином Е. Не используйте перекись водорода. Накладывайте повязку на рану. Ограничьте время пребывания под прямыми солнечными лучами.


While many people can consume alcohol occasionally with no trouble, some develop a dangerous addiction. If you've experienced one or more of the following symptoms, you may be an alcoholic and should consider quitting drinking.  Drinking in the morning. Drinking alone. Feelings of guilt after drinking. Making attempts to hide your drinking from others. You have difficulty stopping yourself once you have one drink. You've experienced withdrawal symptoms after not drinking for several hours, including sweating, shaking, anxiety, and nausea. After you've decided that you should cut back on alcohol or quit altogether, you need to set a concrete goal.  If your goal is to quit completely, write out "I will stop drinking alcohol on this date." Set a specific date on which you will quit. This will give you a tangible target to aim for. Perhaps you don't want to quit entirely, but for health reasons you decide you'd like to only drink on Friday and Saturday. This is called "harm reduction." Write out a goal like, "As of this date, I will only drink on Fridays and Saturdays." Again, it is important to set a concrete date for when this will start. Build up your ability to be aware of how many drinks you have consumed and how you are feeling in a given amount of time. Rather than choosing how many drinks to allow yourself, increase your ability to be aware of when you are drinking too quickly or drinking more when around strangers. The more you know about your drinking, the better you will be able to control it. If you only plan on reducing your intake, you may or may not need a full detox. Depending on how heavily you currently drink, detox may still be necessary. Any significant reduction in an addictive substance can lead to withdrawal. Let the people around you know of your plans. This way, you can start building your support system for when you begin detoxing.  Let the people around you know what you will require of them. It may be as simple as asking them to not offer you drinks, or you may need them to not drink...

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените свой образ жизни и привычки в употреблении алкоголя. Оцените свою цель. Заявите о своей цели. Устраните алкоголь из своей жизни. Получите поддержку извне.


While military personnel are by no means considered above regular civilians, it is a means to an end. In the military, you'll get training experience (both physical and mental) and have the opportunity to work with aircraft. Bonus and bonus. NASA will give military personnel contracted appointments. They apply and work through a military program that regular citizens do not. Note that civilians of the US must submit an application through www.usajobs.gov, and all active duty military personnel must submit an application to their respective service (in addition to the website application). The last round of hiring ESA did for astronauts was in 2009. If you'd like to see how you would've fared, tests are available online. As for NASA, they had their latest round training in Houston as of June 2013. Keep an ear to the ground for the next hiring round! For NASA, training will take place in Texas and will last about 2 years. The ESA will put you through a similar program in Cologne, Germany for 16 months. You'll be working underwater and in simulators in addition to studying space relations and the science behind the technology. There's a heavy emphasis on human mechanics, engineering, and astronomy as well. Both programs will also immerse you in the Russian language. As for NASA, civilians who complete the training must remain a NASA employee for 5 years before becoming an astronaut. Military personal will be assigned to a specific NASA duty.

While most Google buildings are closed to non-employees, you can easily explore the outside of Google's headquarters without trouble. Be ready to walk a lot, as the entire campus stretches over more than a dozen acres of land. Note recognizable landmarks to track where you've been and where you're heading.  For instance, observe the addresses of different buildings as well as distinctive sculptures or signs. Wear comfortable shoes to help you trek across the campus without hurting your feet. Google buildings are restricted to employees and their guests, but you can visit the central point of Google's headquarters. Find these buildings west of Charleston Park. While there are other buildings on the campus, they are all more spaced out and have less going on in them than these ones.  Charleston Park is a large green area in the city. Make this the first stop on your Googleplex tour, as it is easy to access from the Google parking lots. This cluster of buildings is found near a volleyball court and small green area. In addition the the Google head office, these buildings include Google Buildings 41, 42, and 43. A life-size T-Rex sculpture was placed on the campus by Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page as a reminder not to let the company go the way of the dinosaurs. Visit this iron sculpture as part of your Google headquarters tour. Locate the T-Rex, nicknamed "Stan" by Google employees, in front of the main Google buildings. Note that "Stan" is sometimes accessorized with fun items like pink flamingos by Google employees. Google's android statue garden adds a colorful sculpture every time a new operating system is developed. These sculptures are candy-themed, making  them fun and whimsical. Find the garden on the South East point of Landings Drive, a looping street running through the campus.   For instance, you can take a selfie with a jelly bean-filled Android robot, which commemorates the version 4.1 operating system. The garden is located in front of the Android building, which features a large...

While most agencies will not be able to help you individually, any information you provide in a complaint is used to track scammers and take action against them. The agency you contact will depend on the scam you were a victim of. Some examples of common scams and who you would contact to report them include:  Most types of fraud - contact the FTC.   Mail fraud - contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.  Identity theft - contact the FTC.  Bank fraud - contact the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. Using the information you found while tracking down possible government contacts, you need to visit the agency's website and determine how a complaint can be filed and what information you will need to provide. For example, if you want to file a complaint for most general types of fraud (e.g., a lottery scam or a gift scam), you would visit the FTC's Complaint Assistant website. From there you can read about the types of scams they cover, how you can report a scam, and how your complaint will be handled. Use this information to determine how you want to proceed and file your complaint. Most agencies will allow you to file a complaint quickly and easily online. Each agency will proceed differently, and each agency will ask for different information. Follow the directions on each website to successfully submit your complaint. For example, if you use the FTC's Complaint Assistant, you can file a scam complaint by doing the following:  Selecting a category of scam, you were the victim of (e.g., identity theft, scams and rip-offs, credit and debt) Clicking a sub-category of scam (e.g., counterfeit checks, imposter scams, prizes and lottery scams, romance scams) Telling the FTC how you were contacted (e.g., over the phone, in person, through the mail) Detailing the scam (e.g., how much were you asked to pay, how much did you pay, how did you pay, how did you respond to contacts, did you try to contact the scammers) Providing information about the company or person that scammed you (e.g., their name, address, phone...

While most auditions will have a specific scene or group of scenes that you are required to perform, you may sometimes be asked to come up with your own material. That’s why it’s a good idea to work on a monologue or two, so you’ll always be ready when an audition comes up. Make sure to choose a piece that really allows you to showcase your acting skills.  If you’re not sure what monologue(s) to prepare, consider some of your favorite movies -- there’s bound to be a piece in one of them that will work. It’s usually best to choose an age-appropriate monologue. If possible, find one that’s delivered by character who’s as close to you in age as possible. In many cases, the casting company will send you a script or “sides,” which are just the portion of the script that pertain to the character that you’re reading for, in advance of the audition. Don’t just glance at your lines a couple of times to try to memorize them -- make an effort to understand the character and figure out the best way to play the scene. Many casting directors won’t mind if you hold your script or sides during your audition. However, it’s best if you don’t read directly from it. Instead, just glance at it occasionally to remind yourself of the lines. If you really want an acting career, you must take every audition seriously. While you may not have a job yet, you should act like a professional, so the casting director is comfortable working with you. That means being open to any suggestions that he or she might make and being willing to do the scene several times to get it right. Make sure to project confidence during your audition. If you don’t believe that you’re good enough for the part, the casting director probably won’t either. Acting is an extremely competitive business, even for children. As a result, you’re probably going to go on many auditions that don’t end in a job -- but that doesn’t mean you should lose faith in your skills as an actor. As with most things, practice makes perfect, so the more you audition, the better you’ll...

While most companies hiring a programmer will care more about your skills than the college you went to or your grades, it greatly helps to have a college degree to point to. You will learn more efficiently than if you teach yourself, all while getting expert guidance from your teachers (and maybe your friends). There are often scholarships and grants available to those doing degrees in this field. Don't feel intimidated by the price tag of a degree: it is possible! Whether you do an online degree with fees and an actual degree at the end or you're attending a free program like MIT's wonderful Coursera, you can learn a lot about programming from these structured courses. Use free services like Google’s University Consortium or Mozilla’s Developer Network to learn more about programming. These companies want more developers to help their platforms flourish and their resources can be some of the best on the web. There are loads of programmers with websites where they will teach you the individual basics, as well as a few tricks. Look up tutorials on the language you want to learn to find these. Many free online classes are available to learn to code from. The Khan Academy teaches computer coding, with easy tutorials and videos. Codecademy is another free site to learn from, with step-by-step tutorials. There are several programs designed to teach kids to program. Programs like MIT's Scratch are very helpful and the younger you are, the easier it will be to pick up (like any language). Avoid kits, as these rarely teach anything useful.

While most faux suede fabrics used for clothing, towels, drapery, and other garments, accessories, or decor will be machine washable, always check the labels first to be sure. If the label is missing or too worn to read, err on the side of caution: hand wash the garment with a gentle soap or detergent and hang or lay it to dry.  A care label with a washing basin full of water on it means you can machine wash your item. If there is a number as well, this indicates the temperature at which to wash it.  For a washing basin with a hand on it, wash the garment by hand instead of the washing machine. A square with a circle inside means you can tumble dry your garment as well. A single circle means dry clean only. A triangle means it’s safe to use bleach. If any of these symbols appear on your care label with an X or cross through them, it means you cannot use that method of cleaning. Before washing or cleaning any new fabric, you should always do a spot test on the fabric to ensure that the cleaning product you want to use won’t damage the fabric in any way.  Choose a small spot on the fabric that won’t be seen, and apply a small amount of your desired cleaner to the area. Let it sit for five to 10 minutes, and blot the area with a clean, white cloth. Check to see that no color bleeding, discoloration, or shrinking has occurred. Use a damp cloth to remove the cleaner. For tough stains or hard-to-clean dirt, spot clean the stains with soapy water, a clear alcohol like isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or vodka, or a gentle liquid laundry detergent that’s been diluted in water (use a teaspoon (6 ml) of detergent in one cup (240 ml) of water). To spot clean:  Apply a small bit of cleaner to the fabric with a cloth or clean sponge. Gently rub the area with either the sponge, a lint-free cloth, or a soft-bristled brush, such as a clean toothbrush. If you use a cloth or sponge, make sure it’s white or undyed, as the dye could transfer to the fabric. Sometimes fabrics just don’t want to come clean, but there are methods you can...

While most kittens are weaned by 8-10 weeks, most experts recommend leaving kittens with their littermates until 12-13 weeks, so they can be properly socialized. Socialization is the process whereby kittens explore their surroundings and accept what they find as normal. A well-socialized kitten is bold, confident and friendly. Separating a kitten from its mother too early, on the other hand, may lead to poor learning skills and aggressive behavior.  A kitten will start learning at about 3 weeks of age and continues to soak up experiences until 12-14 weeks when her ability to adapt to the unfamiliar tails off. The implication of this is that a kitten will benefit greatly from learning from its mother until 12 weeks of age. However, if re-homing is delayed too long after that, the kitten is much more likely to be fearful and hide from the new owner. Kittens learn to use the litter pan at different rates, but most will have learned by 12 weeks. Be sure the kitten has learned this crucial skill from her mother before she is adopted out. Kittens learn a lot about their environment by scent. They recognize their mother, littermates, and nest by smell. Using this knowledge can ease a kitten’s transition from her mother to a new home. Do this by: Having the new owner provide an old T-shirt that smells like the person. Because kittens are so smell-oriented, placing a piece of the new owner’s clothing in the kitten’s bed or favorite space will get her used to the person’s scent (this is called a ‘scent introduction’). When the kitten moves to the home, she will already be familiar with one of the scents so she will feel safer. Likewise, if the home already has a cat, give him a piece of bedding with the kitten’s smell on it. Doing this will give the established cat a scent ‘handshake’ prior to setting eyes on the new kitten. This will start to diffuse potential tension between the two animals.

While most patients who have had diabetes for some time are able to tell when their blood sugar levels are low, it is still important to recognize the symptoms of diabetes-related hypoglycemia so that you can prevent severe episodes, including loss of consciousness and other fatal complications. Some common symptoms are indicated below:  Dizziness: This occurs because there is reduced sugar level in the brain cells. The brain needs nutrients for proper functioning capability. When there is reduced blood sugar level, you will be feel dizzy. Trembling: This is caused by reduced energy levels in the body due to reduced blood sugar. The sugar that is present in the blood is taken up by the cells used for the production of energy. Hunger: This is also caused by reduced amounts of energy. When you go into a diabetes-related hypoglycemic state, all the food that was present in your body has been broken down into sugar. This leaves you with no food in the abdomen and high hunger levels. Increased heart rate: This is caused by reduced nutrients in the cells, which causes your heart to work harder while trying to meet the demands of the body. Confusion: This occurs due to reduced nutrients to the brain cells, which leads to impaired brain functionality. Headache: Headache is also caused by impaired brain functionality. Poor coordination: This is caused by reduced energy levels in the body. Poor concentration: This is caused by impaired brain functionality. Fainting: This is caused by impaired brain functionality and reduced energy levels in the body. Coma: This occurs in severe cases when there is a prolonged period of low blood sugar. Diabetics who understand the risk factors for hypoglycemia can learn to prevent cases of hypoglycemia.  Hypoglycemia is common in diabetic patients who inject an excess dosage of insulin. Insulin lowers the blood sugar level but when high doses are used, the levels will spike, thus causing hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is common in diabetic patients who miss meals. Diabetics are advised to...

While most people are able to wax without any problems, for some, waxing can cause minor skin irritation. If you've never waxed before, you probably don't have any idea how your skin will react to the wax. For this reason, it's a good idea to wax a few days before any major events that you want to look good for — if your skin between your eyebrows does get irritated, it will have a chance to recover before you need to show it off. Though this is rare, some people are allergic to hair-removal wax and can experience symptoms like rash and folliculitis when they come into contact with it. If you're unsure whether you're allergic, it's a good idea to apply some of the wax to an area of your body that isn't usually visible (like your side or your upper leg) before using it on your face. If your skin reacts with rash or pustules, you probably should not use the wax for your unibrow. Cleanliness is important for a good waxing procedure. Since the wax can remove not only unwanted hairs but also the very top layer of skin, infection is a very small (but real) risk. For this reason, you'll want to wash your face with gentle soap and a clean towel before beginning to kill any bacteria or other microbes which may cause problems. Don't forget to wash your hands, too (or, if a friend is helping you, have this person wash their hands). Harmful bacteria can be present on the hands after all kinds of mundane activities (like, for instance, eating), so you don't want unwashed hands anywhere near your delicate skin post-wax. Most waxing products come in one of two forms: cold and hot. Cold wax, which comes pre-attached to the removal strip, is the slightly easier and more convenient option. Hot wax, on the other hand, must be heated, applied, and then removed with a separate strap. If you're using hot wax, start heating it now according to the provided instructions — you can do the next step while you wait for it to warm up. If you're using hot wax, be careful not to heat it to an uncomfortable or dangerous temperature. A burn...

Чтобы справить с болью при эпиляции используйте болеутоляющие, отпускаемые без рецепта.


While most people want to be able to enjoy their lawn, if you treat it too roughly, the grass will become notably weak. As the grass begins dying on its own, you might see more moss creeping in.  Lawn injuries can occur when you play sports in the yard, ride a bike in your yard, or have a dog dig through your lawn. Additionally, crane fly larvae can also cause physical injury to your lawn. If you have a lot of crane flies in your area, consider taking measures to exterminate or repel them. Other insects like bill bugs, cutworms, and ants can also cause problems. If you are in the US, check the Department of Agriculture's website for literature regarding insect threats and management in your area. Over time, your lawn can become too compacted for air, water, and fertilizer to reach the roots of the grass. As a result, the grass can die off and moss can grow in its place. Regular aeration can help control and prevent this, especially when done while the soil is on the dry side.  Rent, borrow, or buy a core aerator machine to get the job done. This machine pushes a set of hollow tines into the lawn, digging out small batches of soil less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. By removing cores of soil, you free up just enough space in your yard for the soil to spread out and decompress. Try to do this at least once before the start of the growing season and once before the end of the growing season. Dethatching disturbs the lawn more deeply than aeration does. If aeration is done on a regular basis, you will not need to dethatch quite as often. If you have a lot of problems with moss, however, it is still a good idea to go the extra length and dethatch, as well.  For best results, dethatch during the spring every other year. A dethatching lawn mower blade digs down into the lawn and yanks up most of the plant material growing in the upper thatch layer of your lawn rather than in the soil. Since this is where moss grows, disturbing the thatch can help prevent moss from settling in. If certain areas of your lawn are sparsely...

While most shelter cats are mixed-breed, it is possible to find purebred cats at a shelter. Adopting a shelter cat also means it has been checked by a veterinarian and is often already spayed or neutered pre-adoption. This is one of the lowest costing options, and adopting a cat also gives them a second chance at life, which is a great cause. There are many organizations dedicated to rescuing cats and finding someone to adopt them. Some organizations take in any type of cat, while others are dedicated to rescuing specific breeds. Do some research online or contact your local animal shelter for suggestions, as they often work together. Many rescue groups don’t have an adopting fee and instead have a recommended “donation fee” that is relatively inexpensive. Be very wary of buying a cat from a pet store.  Many of these kittens come from animal mills, which focus on breeding as many cats as possible rather than safely breeding a few quality litters. These cats are often born with congenital abnormalities and raised in confined, crowded conditions, which can cause behavioral issues. They will also cost a lot more money than getting a cat from a shelter or rescue group, often costing hundreds of dollars. If you have a particular breed in mind, do some thorough research to find an accredited breeder with a great reputation.  Because purebred cats are also much more expensive (think hundreds, even thousands, of dollars), be sure to research median prices so you know whether or not you are paying an appropriate amount. It is important to first determine if the cat in question is in fact a stray cat; look for "lost" or "missing" fliers in your neighborhood, contact the local shelters, and take the cat to a veterinarian to check if it is microchipped.  If it is a stray, it is very important to take the cat to a veterinarian to be checked for diseases and to be spayed/neutered immediately.

While most tents don't come with them, it's common to line the campsite with a plastic or vinyl tarp to provide a moisture barrier between the tent and the ground. While not necessary, strictly-speaking, it's recommended to use a camping tarp to keep moisture from leeching into the tent from below. If it rains, you'll be happy you've got this. Fold the tarp according to the shape of the tent, but slightly smaller. If there's any risk of rain, you don't want any of the corners sticking out. Don't worry about making it perfect, because you'll be able to tuck them under after you put up the tent. Remove all the components of the tent and inspect them to make sure everything is included and in good working conditions. You won't be able to set up a tent with some broken or missing tent poles, so it's good to take a minute to make sure everything is there. Each tent will be slightly different, depending on the size, style, and brand of the dome tent, but the basic components of newer dome tents should be mostly universal. You'll find:  The tent itself, which should be made of vinyl, plastic, and other materials, with a zippered opening and opening flaps where the tent poles will be inserted. The rain fly, which might look similar to the size and shape of the tent, but without the zippered openings and flaps for the tent poles. This is used to secure over the tent and offer a barrier from the rain, if necessary. Tent poles, which are generally connected with bungee chords or other stretchy material to keep them matched, but might not be with older tent poles, which might need to be screwed together. At the very least, there will be at least two and as many as five or six different poles, which will be made of several foot-long segments. You shouldn't need any tools to fix the tent poles together.  Stakes should be included to fix the tent to the ground, through small flaps at the base of the tent, and possibly on the rain fly. There should be between four and ten tent stakes. You might also want to include some kind...

While most ulcers are caused by bacteria or other factors, for a small group of people, stress is a major factor in triggering ulcers. Regardless of which group you are in, lowering your stress level will make you a happier person and help your body heal. Ways to reduce stress include:  Yoga. Exercise Other relaxing activities. Flavonoids may be an effective treatment for some stomach ulcers, because they coat and protect the lining of the stomach and could allow ulcers to heal.  Flavonoids occur naturally in many fruits and vegetables. But beware, some foods and drinks that contain flavonoids — such as citrus fruits — can irritate a stomach ulcer. Foods and drinks rich in flavonoids include:  Legumes include alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, soybeans, and peanuts. Broccoli. Apples. Berries. Polyphenols are antioxidants and may protect your stomach from ulcers. They might also help ulcers heal. Foods that contain polyphenols include:  Dried rosemary. Dark chocolate. Blueberries. Black olives. Probiotics are living bacteria and yeast that help keep your digestive system working properly. Studies have shown that probiotics might fight  H. pylori bacteria.  There is also evidence that they may help the ulcer healing process, too. Consider the following foods that contain probiotics:  Buttermilk. Yogurt. Miso. You can also take probiotics in supplement form.

While mouthwashes should not be used as an alternative to brushing and flossing, they have been shown to kill microbes in the mouth and inhibit plaque formation. Put some in your mouth and swish it around for a minute to clean your teeth. If you're using a Listerine mouthwash, dilute it with water at a 1:1 ratio. If you forgot your toothbrush but remembered floss, then you’re in luck. Many dentists believe that flossing alone is more beneficial than brushing alone in fighting tooth decay. Floss helps remove bacteria and food between your teeth and around your gums. Rinse your mouth thoroughly afterwards for a more complete clean. Flossing leads to better blood flow in the gums in order to create an antibacterial barrier of protection surrounding your tooth Open your mouth and let warm water stream over your teeth. The shower will act like a water pick system, helping to rinse out your mouth and flush away plaque. Combine this with brushing with your finger for a more thorough cleaning. Chewing sugar-free gum has been shown to be as effective as flossing in removing food particles, plaque, and bacteria from teeth. It also freshens your breath. The optimal length of time to chew is one minute, after which bacteria begin to be released back into the mouth from the gum. Chewing sugar-free gum can also create the optimal balance of the salivary pH which disables the bacterial formation. Green tea contains polyphenol antioxidant compounds that reduce plaque and fight gum disease. Simply drink the tea, or for a deeper clean, use it as you would mouthwash. The abrasive nature of fibrous vegetables can help to clean your teeth, while the vitamins and acids they contain have benefits for whitening teeth and fighting cavities.  Apples – Apples contain vitamin C, which is necessary for health gums, as well as malic acid, which helps to whiten teeth.  Carrots – Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which strengthens tooth enamel. The fibers in carrots can act as micro-bristles on the tooth surface and also in between your teeth,...

While night terrors are relatively uncommon overall, they occur most often in children (experienced by up to 6.5% of children). Night terrors may be a consequence of the maturation of the central nervous system. In contrast, night terrors are rarely experienced by adults (only 2.2% of adults will experience night terrors). When adults experience night terrors, it is often due to underlying psychological factors such as trauma or stress.  Night terrors in children are usually not a cause for alarm. There is no evidence suggesting that a child who experiences night terrors has a psychological problem or is upset about or disturbed by something. Children usually grow out of night terrors.  Night terrors do seem to have a genetic component. Children are more likely to experience night terrors if someone else in the family suffers from them as well.  Many adults who have night terrors also have another psychological condition, including bipolar disorder, depressive disorder, or an anxiety disorder.  Night terrors in adults can also be caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or by substance abuse (particularly alcohol abuse). It is crucial to consider potential underlying causes of night terrors in adults and address these underlying causes if need be. There are certain behaviors that are often associated with night terrors. Common behaviors include:  Sitting up in bed Screaming or shouting in fear Kicking his or her feet Thrashing his or her arms Sweating, breathing heavily, or having a rapid pulse Staring wide-eyed Engaging in aggressive behavior (this is more common in adults than in children) Night terrors often occur during non-REM sleep, most commonly occurring during the short wave period of sleep. This means that they often will happen during the first few hours of sleep. People who are having a sleep terror episode will often be very hard to awaken. However, if they do awaken, they will often emerge from sleep in a confused state, and may be unsure why they appear to be sweaty, out of breath, or...

While no drugs can cure UC, many can reduce symptoms and improve a person's quality of life. Anti-inflammatory medications are typically the first step in the treatment of UC and other types of IBD. They most common ones to start with include: aminosalicylates and corticosteroid drugs, such as prednisone and hydrocortisone.  Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) is an aminosalicylate that's effective in combating the inflammatory symptoms of UC, but it tends to trigger a number of side effects. Other aminosalicylates include mesalamine, balsalazide and olsalazine. All are available in oral and suppository (anal) forms. You may need to take an enema, which involves flushing dissolved medication into your rectum using a special wash bottle. Corticosteroids are usually only used for moderate-to-severe UC that doesn't respond well to other medical treatments. They are only given short term, but still tend to cause lots of side effects, including: puffy face, reduced immune response, night sweats, insomnia and osteoporosis. These powerful medications reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, which is helpful if the ulceration is caused by an autoimmune (hyperactive immune) response. These immunosuppressors are typically taken as tablets by mouth. Corticosteroids are also used in conjunction with immune system suppressors, which include: azathioprine, mercaptopurine, cyclosporine, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab and vedolizumab.  Azathioprine (Azasan, Imuran) and mercaptopurine (Purinethol, Purixan) are the most used immune system suppressors for UC and other types of IBD. However, these drugs can be hard on your liver and pancreas. Cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune) is usually reserved for cases of UC that don't respond well to other drugs. Serious side effects are relatively common with cyclosporine use. Infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira) and golimumab (Simponi) are known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors or biologics, and recommended for moderate-to-severe UC. They work by...

While no scientific research has been done on the subject, some say that coconut water can lighten the skin, while also leaving it soft and supple. Dip a cotton ball into a bowl of coconut water. Then, wipe the liquid over your face or any other area you wish to lighten. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off in the morning. You can repeat this daily.  You can also try drinking coconut water to hydrate your skin from the inside out. Coconut water is a great source of essential minerals and is also low in calories. Coconut oil can also have a positive impact on your skin. Apply it two times daily to improve symptoms of eczema and moisturize your skin. Gel made from aloe vera plants is very soothing for the skin. It is also moisturizing and encourages skin rejuvenation. Some think that this enables it to fade dark patches and lighten skin. Break off the leaf of an aloe vera plant (available in plant nurseries) and rub the gel-like sap all over the area you wish to lighten. Repeat this four times a day for at least 15 days in a row.  Aloe vera is good for your skin, so you can use it as often as you'd like with no fear of side effects. You can use commercial aloe gel if it is organic and not made from chemicals. Aloe vera can also help with psoriasis, seborrhea, dandruff, minor burns, skin abrasions, and also radiation-induced skin injuries. Many think that potatoes can lighten skin although there's currently no scientific evidence that proves this. The juice from a raw potato is said to have mild bleaching properties which naturally lighten skin, due to the high quantities of vitamin C it contains. All you need to do is cut a raw potato in half, and rub the exposed flesh on the skin that you wish to lighten. Leave it on your face for 15 minutes and then wash it off. You can use raw potato daily.

While normal dog shampoo and dish detergent usually kill fleas, if you need something more potent, you could try a special flea and tick shampoo.   Read the shampoo label carefully to determine the proper way to use the shampoo for your dog. Soak you dog with warm water and rub the flea shampoo into its fur. Let the shampoo sit on the dog's coat for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Flea shampoos usually contain pyrethrins, a type of chemical used to kill fleas. Flea shampoos kill fleas and ticks that are already on the dog. Flea and tick sprays are available in both aerosol and pump bottle forms.  For best results, choose a spray that contains an adulticide and an insect growth regulator. Doing so will ensure that both adult fleas and their eggs are killed. Follow your veterinarian's instructions and the instructions on the label for proper use. Spray in a well-ventilated area and avoid getting the spray in your dog's eyes. Wear gloves while administering the spray to protect yourself. When spraying sensitive areas, such as the face, spray the product onto your glove and rub it on the dog rather than risking spraying in the dog’s eyes, mouth, or ears. A flea powder is can usually be purchase without a veterinarian's prescription and works in the same way that a spray works.  Read the instructions on the label to determine proper use. If you are uncertain about anything, ask your veterinarian before applying the powder to your dog. Usually, you apply a powder by dusting a fine layer over your dog's coat and letting it sit undisturbed. Note, however, that powders tend to make the coat feel gritty and need to be reapplied often. Begin at the dog’s head and work back towards the tail, ensuring that the powder gets all the way to the dog’s skin.  Also sprinkle the powder on the dog’s bedding. Repeat once per week if necessary. Dips and rinses should be applied to your dog's coat after flea infestation has started.  Mix the dip or rinse as directed by the package label. Ask your...

While not a recommended fix by Microsoft, some people have had success "rebooting" their Xbox's controller set-up. Know, however, that you should contact Microsoft Support before trying this. These tips come from several online communities and forums, not Microsoft directly. Make sure the Xbox is on. The lights on the front of the Xbox will blink and spin, but eventually turn off. Hold the button until the lights are off. Take out the power cord from the wall and the Xbox, remove the inputs, and detach the Xbox hard drive from the console. After you've waited, plug everything back in and try to connect your controller using the steps discussed in method 2. If you still cannot connect controllers, you'll need to discuss the problem with Microsoft and potentially get a replacement Xbox 360.

While not all personality tests are created equal, some personality tests can tell you more about who you are. For instance, the Myers-Briggs is a common test that will divide you among two options in four categories. You can also try the Big Five personality test.  Use your results. Once you get your results, it will help you understand more about how you make decisions and who you are as person. It will also help you understand how you interact with other people and why you may respond in certain ways to specific situations.  For instance, if you're an introvert, knowing that will help you understand why you may feel drained after parties and how you can take steps to manage your energy Write down the three things you consider your biggest accomplishments. What do these times have in common? In turn, consider what believe to be your biggest failures. What do those have in common? That is, given your accomplishments and failures, consider how you acted to get there or how you would act differently now. If one of your biggest accomplishments was getting a degree, that means you consider hard work and dedication important. If one of your biggest failures was getting drunk and cheating on a girlfriend, that means you believe you have had problems with overindulging and not keeping promises and want to do those things differently. Consider the people you admire most. What do you admire about them? What qualities do they have that you wish you did? What values do they have? Those values are likely ones you wish you had, too. To figure out your values, you need to consider what's most important in your life. Maybe it's your family, or maybe it's your friendships. One way to figure out what you value is to ask yourself some questions. For instance, what would you carry out of your house if it were on fire (besides your family and pets)? What would you do to change the world, if you could? What makes you passionate? The recurring themes that you find help make up your values. For instance, you may have realized that...

While not necessary, a template will save you some work by setting up the timeline structure for you. You can check whether you already have a timeline template by browsing options in the File → New or File → New from Template commands. Otherwise, search online for user-created timeline templates. If you don't want to use a template, continue on to the next step. If your timeline tracks the progress of a multi-branched project, consider looking for "Gantt chart" templates instead. You can set up a basic timeline with an ordinary blank spreadsheet. Type the dates of your timeline in one row, spacing them out with blank cells roughly in proportion to the time between them. In the cell directly above or below each date, write a description of the event that happened on that date. Don't worry if it looks sloppy. Alternating descriptions above and below the date tend to make the most readable timelines. Select the row containing your descriptions. Click the Home tab in the ribbon menu, then look for the Orientation button under the Alignment group. (In some versions, the Orientation button looks like the letters abc.) Click this button and select one of the angled text options. The rotated text should make your descriptions fit the timeline. If you are using Excel 2003 or earlier, instead right-click the selected cells. Select Format Cells, then the Alignment tab. Type in the number of degrees you'd like the text to rotate, then click OK.

While not necessary, you might feel more comfortable if you buy a few things and put them in your cart before buying condoms. This way, you are not standing at the counter with nothing but a box of condoms. You can also use the other items in your cart to cover up the condoms.  This way other people will not be able to look in your basket and automatically see the condoms. Convenience stores and gas stations often sell condoms as well. These stores are smaller and have less people. If you purchase from a convenience store, you may have to talk to the cashier and let him or her know that you need to buy condoms, as most times they are located behind the counter. If you do not mind interacting with the cashier, but want to avoid large crowds, this may be an option for you. Sometimes the bathrooms have vending machines that dispense condoms and other small sex-related items. Throw away your receipt at the store.  You do not want to walk around with a condom receipt in your pocket, wallet, or jacket.  If you throw away the receipt as soon as you walk out of the store, you do not have to worry about a parent or friend finding out about your purchase. If your parents monitor your credit card/debit card spending you may want to buy the condoms with cash.  You will not have to answer any questions about a charge in your card. Instead of using the checkout line, buy your condoms from a store that has an automated checkout, where you scan your purchases and bag them yourself. This will allow you to avoid talking to a cashier. Most grocery stores and large retailers have self- checkout stations. If self-checkout is not an option, paying for the condoms at a more secluded register in the back (e.g. the hunting section or automobile section) is a good way to avoid crowds of people and you can sometimes also avoid long lines. Buying condoms in bulk will keep you from having to go to the store so much. Keep your extra condoms in a cool, dry place. Check the expiration date before you use the condom. If a condom is expired...

While not scientifically proven, many believe that lemon juice can have skin lightening effects. To test this theory yourself, cut a lemon in half. Using only one half, squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl. Use a cotton ball to soak up the lemon juice and then rub it onto the area you wish to lighten. Leave it on for about 15 to 20 minutes before washing it off. Use warm water to rinse, and always apply moisturizer afterwards. Repeat this 2 - 3 times per week.  You could apply it to your face, neck, or anywhere else you wish to lighten. Avoid getting the lemon juice in your eyes. If you feel that the lemon juice is too harsh on your skin, try diluting it to half strength with water before applying. A mask will let the acidic part of the lemon slowly seep into pores and gradually change the complexion of the skin. Mix together 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of  lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of tomato juice, 1 tablespoon of cucumber juice, and 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of sandalwood paste into a paste. Apply it to your face and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and moisturize. Masks, exfoliants, and peels should be used sparingly—once or twice a week. Too much exfoliation can cause excessive dryness or irritation. An exfoliant will help lighten skin by using the natural lightening components of citric acid, as well as by sloughing off the top layer of dead skin cells. Mix together 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) brown sugar, 1 egg white, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Massage the exfoliant into your skin using gentle circular motions. Gently scrub or keep it on for 10-15 minutes, rinse with warm water, and moisturize.  Apply this mask sparingly. You should only apply it once a week to avoid drying out your skin. Lemons contain citric acid, which is a natural Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). Exfoliation with AHAs help remove the top layer of skin to allow growth of new skin, which may help fade superficial discolored areas. When turmeric is used topically, it can improve some skin conditions, such as facial photoaging. To use...

While organizing may not sound like fun, if you're bored alone a project can be entertaining. If you're unsure what to do with yourself, find something to organize. You can organize a drawer in your home, your school supplies, your desk, or your closet. To make organizing more fun, get creative. For example, make fun and decorative labels for the different drawers and bins in your closet. If you're bored, do something productive. Sometimes, having a chore to do makes downtime seem more fun. If you're behind on homework, force yourself to catch up. When you're done, you may find you're eager to spend time just doing nothing. Think about how you would want to change your room. Maybe you're tired of the color scheme or the decorations you have out. Spend the day reorganizing your furniture, changing the decorations, and more. If you love decorating, this can be a fun activity. It will also give you a feeling of accomplishment. You can search online for decorating ideas. If anything is messy, spend some time cleaning it. While dishes may not sound entertaining, if you play some music while doing the dishes, they can actually be fun. You can also try to turn cleaning into a game. See how much laundry you can fold in 10 minutes and then try to beat your record, for example.

Приведите что-нибудь в порядок. Выполните домашнее задание. Измените обстановку в комнате. Проведите уборку.


While other kinds of paint stains can result from dripping or excess paint, a spray can is specifically made to be accurate and precise. With this in mind, your first step towards preventing paint stains should be the proper use of the spray paint itself. Spray the can in short, controlled bursts. Make absolutely sure the nozzle is turned away from you before you fire. Remember to shake the can frequently to improve the paint's consistency. Check the instructions on the can if you have any doubts. Paint ponchos are specially designed to protect your clothing from staining. They can be bought relatively cheaply at a local hardware store. Failing that, you can also make a paint poncho of your own by cutting arm holes in a garbage bag and wearing it while you work. Paint ponchos can be uncomfortable, especially if you're painting somewhere where it's already hot. Still, the mild discomfort is more than worth saving your clothes from harm. Obviously, getting down to underwear while you paint is reserved only for a few scenarios. Painting at home and inside make the most sense in this case. However, you can't risk messing up your clothes if you're not wearing them. Due to the fact that drying paint absorbs heat, disrobing also helps tend to the issue of overheating while painting.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отрегулируйте распылитель. Надевайте комбинезон для защиты от краски. Распыляйте краску в нижнем белье.


While oven cleaner can be effective in getting rid of scorch marks, it should be used as a last resort because it is extremely caustic and may discolor the pan. You should never use it on a pan with a non-stick or other protective coating, though, because it will strip off the coating and ruin the pan. Because oven cleaner has the potential to damage cookware, you should only use it if you’ve tried other methods of cleaning your scorched pan and they’ve failed. If you’re planning to toss the pan anyway, it’s a worth a try to use the oven cleaner. Oven cleaner contains caustic chemicals that give off very strong fumes, so it’s important to take safety precautions before you use it. Cover your hands with a pair of rubber gloves to keep your skin safe from the chemicals. You should also make sure that your kitchen is well-ventilated before spraying the oven cleaner, so open a window or two if possible.  If you’re especially sensitive to fumes, you may want to wear a dust mask over your nose and mouth when you’re using the oven cleaner. Be sure to read all of the safety warnings on the oven cleaner’s packaging so you’re aware of any other safety precautions that you should take. Once you’re prepared to work with the oven cleaner, spray it over the scorched areas of the pan. Because the cleaner is so caustic, you don’t want to use any more than is necessary so cover the bottom of the pan with a light layer. You can use a brush to ensure that it’s spread over the entire pan. While spray oven cleaners formulas are usually the most common, you can also find cream and foam formulas that may work better when you’re cleaning a scorched pan. In order for the oven cleaner to fully penetrate the scorched areas and loosen the film and debris, you need to let it sit on the pan for at least a half hour. Because of the fumes, it’s best to place the pan outside while the cleaner on it. Cover the pan with a lid, and set it on a table or ledge outside your home. If you don’t have any area outside that you can set the pan, open a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь в том, что сковорода не имеет антипригарного покрытия. Наденьте перчатки и откройте окно. Нанесите средство по чистке духовки на дно сковороды. Накройте сковороду и отставьте ее в сторону. Поскребите и как следует вымойте сковороду.


While people around you may see through your white lie, telling it may still help to calm you down.  Say you have been having really bad allergies. This is a classic excuse for having tears in your eyes--allergies make your eyes watery and red. Yawn and then say something like, “yawning always makes my eyes water.” Say you think you are getting sick. Often, when people get sick their eyes become glassy. Saying you feel sick also gives you a good excuse to leave the setting you are in. If you can’t help but shed a few tears, wiping them away discreetly is the next best thing to keeping yourself from crying.  Pretend that you're trying to get something out of the corner of your eye, then wipe along the bottom and wipe the tears off the edge. Pressing your index finger lightly into the inside corner of your eye will also help to dab away the tears. Pretend you’re sneezing and put your face into the inside of your elbow (so that you can wipe your tears on your arm). If you can’t fake sneeze, just say "false alarm." If you are caught up in a negative situation that is making you want to cry, get out of it. This does not necessarily mean storming out of the room. If something is upsetting you, make an excuse to leave the room for a few moments. Taking a step back from whatever is causing you to want to cry will help you to feel better and control your crying. By taking a step back, you are distancing yourself both physically and mentally from the problem. As you take a step back, breathe in deeply and then exhale just as deeply. You will find that you will feel less inclined to cry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Придумайте какую-нибудь причину ваших слез. Вытирайте слезы незаметно. Удалитесь.


While pets are loving additions to your home, they are not always easy to manage. All pets require time, money, and love in addition to the specific needs of each animal and breed. You need to be sure you want a pet not just that day but in the long-term.  Most pets require attention and maintenance during the day, so make sure you'll be home enough to take care of your pet. If you have kids, consider what pets will be kid-friendly. Hamsters and fish, for example, make great early pets. If you plan on moving or making large lifestyle changes you shouldn't consider a pet until you are more stable. Even different types of dogs have different needs, so make sure you pick a pet that suits your means. Before buying a pet do thorough research on the behaviors and needs of various pets you like. Don't go into this decision dead-set on one species or breed -- being open-minded can lead to happy surprises and the right pet for your family. Keep in mind some general concerns with different pets:   Dogs - though dogs vary widely by breed, all dogs need lots of attention, time to exercise, and plenty of room to roam.  Cats - Intelligent and individual, cats will be fine with less supervision, though they still need your love and time to keep from acting out.  Hamsters, Gerbils, Ferrets, and Rodents - Economical and short-living, rodents make good first pets. They often, however, have strong odors.  Fish - Fish need careful monitoring and care to thrive, and won't cuddle anytime soon. Think of having a fish like having a garden.  Lizards - Happy on their own and generally easy to care for, lizards do not offer much affection and can be difficult to diagnose when sick.  Birds - Birds can be incredibly messy and are often loud. They are also expensive and occasionally temperamental, especially bigger birds like parrots.  Rabbits - Rabbits are friendly first-time pets that make a great contribution to the household. However, they can easily make a lot of noise and mess. It’s a mistake to just decide “I want a dog” (or any...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выясните, в состоянии ли вы обеспечить питомцу надлежащий уход. Выберите такого питомца, который будет соответствовать вашему образу жизни. Внимательно отнеситесь в выбору породы питомца, особенно если у вас есть дети. Реально оцените возможности вашего бюджета и вашу способность возложить на себя ответственность по уходу за питомцем.

While plenty of older women do not have this problem, it can be a concern and is something to be aware of when planning for pregnancy. There will be some extra monitoring and screening for older potential mothers.  However, most women over 35 are not infertile and have healthy pregnancies. Treating a woman as a high risk for infertility or difficult pregnancy just because the mother is older will create unnecessary stress when none is needed.  A good (and funny) video segment on why pregnancy after 35 is not a big problem and the potential risks overblown is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9ryP0UyO5U  You may, however, want to consider other issues with advanced age if planning for a child. An older mother might be putting a child in kindergarten when many of her friends have high school aged children, for instance. That may be an issue, or not--maybe you will have a circle of babysitters available! Now is also a good time to request a thorough health screen. Your personal history should include pregnancies, surgeries, diseases, disorders, medications, addictions, diet, nutrition, fitness, and social history. Prenatal vitamins include folic acid, which is critical for the development of your baby. If you or your partner need assistance with substance, alcohol, or tobacco cessation, now is the time to seek it. Speak to your healthcare provider, she will be able to provide you with many resources to help you achieve your healthy pregnancy goals.  This should include sleeping at least 8 hours every night, eating fresh, unprocessed foods, exercising 30 minutes a day, 4-6 days a week, and relaxing every chance you get. This is very important for your fertility and pregnancy health. Plus, the more you commit to a routine now, the easier it will be to reestablish it once your baby is born. The fresh air and sights and sounds of nature are good for the body, mind, and soul.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помните, что по статистике, в возрасте старше 35 лет труднее зачать ребенка и риск врожденных дефектов неуклонно увеличивается с каждым следующим годом. Перед зачатием запишитесь на прием к своему врачу или акушеру, чтобы обсудить ваши планы здоровья, образа жизни и беременности. Предоставьте семейную и личную историю болезни вашему врачу или акушеру. Начните принимать пренатальные витамины за три месяца до планируемого зачатия. Беременность может вдохновить вас на многие позитивные жизненные изменения! Если вес является для вас проблемой, проконсультируйтесь со своим врачом или диетологом. Создайте новый здоровый режим на каждый день. Проводите время на свежем воздухе.


While pomegranates are more of a shrub than tree if left to grow untrained, you can trim the plant so that it looks like a tree. This is something that many gardeners do.   Using gardening shears or clippers, cut the suckers (the smaller branches that help the plant take on its shrub form) growing at the base of the plant so that it takes on more of a tree shape. Do this shortly after the plant has become established. If you don't care whether your plant is tree-like or not, let it grow naturally. You don't really need to prune your pomegranate tree to maintain it, but it is a good idea to cut away dead or dying branches in the spring to help the tree grow well. You can also thin the plant as you see necessary. If you are growing the pom in a container, you will need to prune and train a bit more heavily, in order to keep the pom the size and shape you want it to be. Avoid mold growth by making sure you do not over water the pom. The two other problems some pomegranates face are aphids and the pomegranate butterfly. You can kill aphids by using a spray bought at your local nursery or garden store. You can also use an integrated pest management practice for killing aphids, which may include attracting ladybugs, spraying trees with water to knock aphids down, or even purchasing predatory insects to consume the aphids. The pomegranate butterfly is not very common and should not be a problem. If it is, use a butterfly spray to rid your trees of the larvae.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подрезайте дерево. Отрежьте мертвые или поврежденные ветки. Следите за здоровьем дерева.


While popular people are not always liked by everyone, they are known by everyone. In order to increase your popularity, you need to broaden your social circle. Go out of your way to meet and hang out with new people.  Smile and say “Hi” to everyone you meet. Eat lunch with someone new. As you strive to become popular, don’t tear others down in the process.Remember, a kind, compassionate person wins over more friends than a nasty, unconfident person. Never judge people, but always jump to their defense. Don’t bully others, but befriend them. Be kind to people outside your group. Being a clique that despises outsiders will not earn you many friends beyond the group. Instead, work to earn the respect and friendship of outsiders. Helping others accomplish their goals and reveling in their success, is an excellent way to develop a positive reputation. Set aside your desire for attention or your need to be the best. Instead, encourage and assist those around you as they strive to succeed. Your compassion will surprise and delight others.  Offer to help someone with their homework or a project. Stay after practice to workout with a teammate. Congratulate others on their accomplishments. Bullies, haters, negative and unkind people will always be present in your life whether you are popular or an outcast. You may know these individuals or they may be complete strangers to you. In order to lead a healthy life and live as the most authentic you—even if you never become popular—it is important that you address and cope with people that dislike you.  Remove toxic people from your environment. Stop spending time with that negative friend that always belittles you. Stand up for yourself. Let this person know that you do not appreciate and will no longer tolerate their negative treatment of you. Don’t take it personally. Bullying is not a reflection on you, but a self-reflection on the bully. You are not the problem; they are the problem.

TL;DR in Russian:

Расширяйте круг общения. Не осуждайте и не обижайте других. Оказывайте помощь и поддержку. Находите способ разобраться с теми, кому вы не нравитесь.


While powerful, the dogs will not be hard to defeat with a team of 6 Pokémon. The dogs, however, do not want to be caught, and will try to run from your the moment you  encounter them. This makes them slippery and difficult to get a hold of permanently. Any damage you do to a dog will last. If you run into them once and bring them to half health before they run, they will still be at half health the next time you see them. If you do not get the first turn the dog will likely run away before you do anything. To prevent this, make sure your opening Pokémon has enough speed to attack first. You can attach "Quick Claw" to ensure that your Pokémon attacks first as well. The go first, your speed rating needs to be higher than the dog's:   Suicune has a speed rating of 85.  Entei has a speed rating of 100.  Raikou has a speed rating of 115. Some Pokémon, such as Wobbuffet, have an ability named "Shadow Tag" that prevents a Pokémon from escaping at any time. Other Pokémon can use abilities like Mean Look, Block, and Arena Trap that keep the dog in place as long as the Pokémon is still in battle. Attacks like Wrap and Fire Spin do damage over a few turns and will keep Pokémon from running. They will last for 3-5 turns before needing to be re-applied. These effects are often difficult to land, but when successful they will keep the dog from fleeing and make your capture balls more effective. Try moves like:  Sleep Spore Paralyze Poison. This obnoxious attack shared by Entei and Raikou forces you to run away from the battle and the dog to disappear. While there is not a lot you can do to avoid it, putting the dog to sleep or paralyzing it will prevent it from using Roar against you. The attack "Taunt" will negate the effects of Roar, but you need to use it your first turn to be effective. If you kill the dog you will be unable to capture it ever again. Use quick, effective moves like False Swipe and Night Shade to get their health down without causing massive damage. Don't ever gamble with a big attack -- if they run...

TL;DR in Russian:

Легендарные Псы являются одними из самых сложных для поимки Покемонами. Чтобы первым наносить удар противнику увеличьте скорость вашего Покемона. Используйте блокирующие атаки для предотвращения бегства пса. Усыпите пса, заморозьте его или парализуйте, чтобы сделать его более легкой для поимки мишенью. Не позволяйте псу использовать Roar. Ослабьте пса вашими атаками, пока уровень его энергии на шкале слева не станет меньше 10%. Используйте максимально возможное количество Ultra Balls для поимки Покемонов. В первую очередь используйте ваш Master Ball.


While practicing mindfulness meditation, practitioners are urged to observe their thoughts, acknowledge their feelings, and then allow them to pass. They are not supposed to judge or fixate on their thoughts. Practitioners are now applying this meditation technique to their work on the computer. This requires you to disengage from work and take a moment to observe and acknowledge the letters, spaces, images, and thoughts displayed on the screen. Pause from your work for a brief mindfulness meditation session. Slide your chair back, close your eyes, and or slow your breathing. Ask yourself the following questions and take a mental note of your responses:  ”What do I feel in this moment?” ”What am I thinking about in this moment?” ”How am I present in this moment?” ”How am I not present in this moment?” Once you are aware of your own thoughts and feelings, turn your attention to the computer screen. The goal of this exercise is to use the computer to transport yourself into a state of calmness, relaxation, and mindfulness that will then carry over to the rest of your workday. As you practice:  Take note of the letters in a word, the sentences in a paragraph, and the thoughts they are conveying. Acknowledge the icons on your desktop, the empty spaces on an open web page, and the cursor in the corner of your screen. If your mind wanders, return your attention to the screen. Gradually regain your awareness and return to work feeling refreshed and refocused.

TL;DR in Russian:

Рассматривайте компьютер как объект медитации. Оцените свои мысли и чувства. Наблюдайте за экраном компьютера в течение 2–3 минут.


While preferring a temperate climate, celery also enjoys full sun if possible. However, it will grow well in partial shade as well. Originally a wetland plant, celery can tolerate relatively moist soil conditions that other vegetables cannot. However, make sure the planting area you choose is not prone to flooding.  You may want to build a raised bed to plant your celery in. Keep in mind that some varieties of celery grow very large, harvestable roots, so make sure to build your planter deep enough if you choose to do so. Use cedar wood to build the planter bed if possible, as it does not mold when it gets wet. . Celery varieties prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Though celery does not require impeccable drainage like most vegetables, it does require rich, healthy soil.  Evaluate the soil's calcium and magnesium levels in order to determine what type of limestone to add to your soil. If the soil is low in magnesium, add dolomitic limestone. If it is high in magnesium, add calcitic limestone. Add the limestone 2 to 3 months before planting if possible to allow the soil to absorb it. After adding, check the pH again. Mix about 4 inches (10 cm) of organic fertilizer, such as manure or compost, into your soil. Celery likes extremely rich, organic soil. This will help the seedlings grow into strong, producing plants.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите участок с ярким солнцем и/или частичной затененностью. Выберите участок с плодородной и влажной почвой. Проверьте кислотность почвы. Удобрите почву навозом, компостом, или другим органическим удобрением с высоким содержанием азота.


While primarily used in the printing industry, Pantone provides a precise color reference to help you find exactly the brown you are looking for. You can purchase one new or used online. It's important to be aware, though, that Pantone defines its colors in the CMYK color space, not RGY. CMYK is the acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. White is not included, as that is generally the color of the paper that is being printed on, so you will have to do some interpretation. There are a large number of cards to flip through, so be patient. You can also take advantage of Photoshop or other graphics applications, which often include Pantone colors in various formats.  Look for the exact percentages of magenta, yellow, cyan and black needed for that color, and mix accordingly. Note that in this example, the percentages are C:33%, M:51%, and Y:50% Note that magenta, yellow, and cyan are more accurate primary colors, but they are not the standard for mixing paints at this time. For more information, see this article. Using the proportions provided on the Pantone guide, mix your your paints to create an exact shade of brown. Although this Pantone guide is typically used for mixing ink for prints, you can use magenta, cyan, black, and yellow paint to create the perfect hue of brown.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите атлас цветов Pantone. Найдите нужный оттенок коричневого цвета. Смешайте краски.


While professionals may make it seem effortless, a good canter results as much from the rider's efforts as it does from the horse's. As you canter, your body should be positioned to open the front (leading) shoulder of the horse and to cue the horse behind the girth, all while adding forward movement. Assume the following posture while you trot to prepare to transition into a canter.  Keep your back straight. Keep your chest up. "Open" your chest by drawing your shoulders back gently. Use the core muscles of your hips and abs for balance. Ideally, you should be able to canter without pulling on the reins, pommel, or saddle horn to steady yourself. As you work into the canter, maintain good rein contact contact, but open the inside rein of your horse while holding a firm grip on the outside rein. This will give your horse important support on the diagonal beats. Note, however, that the goal here isn't to support the horse too heavily, as it needs to develop its own sense of balance while cantering. As described in the section above, cuing a horse to canter involves several simultaneous motions of the rider's body. Follow the steps below to start cantering:  Turn your torso and shoulders (keeping your hips straight ahead) so that your shoulder on the outside is positioned slightly further back than your shoulder on the inside. Move your outside leg back. As you do this, give pressure with your inside leg and slide your inside hip forward slightly. Use the inside rein to pick up the correct lead. This also opens up your horse’s leading shoulder, helping them to understand your intentions while keeping their movement "collected."  Using your rear leg, squeeze your horse’s barrel and ask for increased speed. Note that some horses are also trained to shift into a canter when you cue them with a "kissy" noise (different than clucking for increased speed), so you may need to do this at the same time. Make sure you are cuing your horse behind the girth — that is, with your feet a few inches back from where they would...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните с открытой, прямой позы. Откройте поводьями плечи лошади. Применяйте сигналы тела. Сидите во время галопа. Будьте готовы к сигналу полуодержки.


While quicksand is not a unique kind of soil, it can form anywhere groundwater mixes with sandy soil, creating a distinctive soupy mixture. Learning to anticipate places you might encounter quicksand is the best way to avoid becoming entangled in it. Quicksand most commonly occurs in:  Tidal flats Swamps and marshes Near lake shores Near underground springs Be on the lookout for ground that appears unstable and wet, or sand that has unnatural looking "ripples" in the texture. You should be able to see water seeping up from below the sand, making quicksand quite visible if you're on the lookout as you're hiking around. Always bring a hefty walking stick, both to use in case you become stuck, but also to tap the ground in front of you as you walk. A few seconds with a walking stick could be the difference between a messy wrestling match with a pool of quicksand and a safe hike.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите области, где часто встречаются зыбучие пески. Остерегайтесь волнообразных неровностей. Проверяйте землю перед собой с помощью своей трости.


While rare, some modems encounter issues when paired with a specific Internet company (e.g., Comcast). Double-check your modem's compatibility with your current Internet subscription before buying (if possible). If you find that your modem won't work with your current subscription, try to exchange the modem for a different one that will work, or switch your Internet subscription. The cable output resembles a metal cylinder with a small hole in the middle and screw threads all around the sides. You'll usually find cable outputs in the wall near the floor in living rooms and bedrooms. In some cases, there will already be a cable connected to the cable outlet. The modem should be relatively high up (e.g., on top of a bookshelf), and it will need to be close enough to the cable output that you can connect it without stretching or bending the cable. You'll also need to have a power outlet nearby. A modem generally requires a coaxial cable to connect to the cable output, as well as a power cable to connect to an electrical outlet. Both of these cables should come with your modem, but if you bought it used, you may need to find replacement cables.  If you plan on attaching the modem to a router, you will also need an Ethernet cable. Consider buying a longer coaxial cable if the one that you have is too short to allow you to mount properly your modem. Each modem is unique, and yours may require additional setup outside of this article's capacity. Reading your modem's manual will help make you aware of any additional steps that you have to take to install the modem.

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что модем подходит для работы с вашим провайдером. Найдите в комнате выходной кабель. Выберите место для установки модема. Убедитесь, что у вас есть все необходимые кабели. Ознакомьтесь с руководством к модему.


While rare, you may be unexpectedly prompted to “verify” your payment method while making a reservation. This should only happen if there's an issue with the credit card or potential fraudulent activity on the account. No matter the cause, verifying your account by using the app's built-in camera feature will have you up and running in no time. You will want the app to have a clear, crisp photo of your payment card. Once the card is precisely within the boundaries of the green box, the photo will automatically snap. The app should automatically fill in the expiration date, but double-check the listed date to make sure it matches what's on your card. Click “Done” when you are finished. Uber may request a photo of your state or country identification card. If so, lay it on a flat surface as you did your payment card, then line it up within the green rectangular boundary. As before, the photo will snap automatically. Click “Done” when you are finished.  Once the appropriate information is attached, Uber will review your account and take the attached information into consideration. You will be notified via email about the status of your verification. If you need any additional help, email Uber support at support@uber.com.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте состояние своей платежной карты. Положите платежную карту на ровную, хорошо освещенную поверхность. Положите карту так, чтобы она не выходила за зеленое ограничение на экране «Держите карту здесь». Проверьте дату окончания срока действия карты в графе «Действует до».
