You're about to have a hard conversation that could easily turn into a fight if you're not careful. To stop that from happening, you should put a lot of thought into how you're going to argue with her without fighting. Don't be impulsive! Think ahead of time and give yourself enough time to put together a proposal that will have good odds of winning her over.  If the thing you're asking for has a deadline — tickets for a concert or permission to go to a party, for example — start planning well ahead of time. You also want to have the conversation where you ask for permission ahead of the deadline, just in case the first answer is "no." The first answer isn't always the final answer — with some time, you may be able to change her mind. But you need enough time to do it. The most obvious answer, obviously, is just “Because I do!” but that's not enough to convince your mom. Think of the positive benefits you would receive beyond just happiness.  For example, this might be the only time in the past five years that your favorite band has come to your city. If you don't see them this time, you may have missed your chance for several years down the line. It may be an important bonding experience for you and your friends. It would make you feel lonely and sad if you were the only member of your circle of friends who wasn't allowed to attend a birthday party. Can you frame the thing you want as a learning experience? For example, "Driving to school on my own will teach me self-sufficiency. I'll have to wake up and get ready on time by myself, without you having to push me along." Your mom is probably dealing with problems every day that you never even know about — work, bills, carpools, meals, cleaning, and dealing with her children's needs. When she hears one more request, she might be tempted to just say “no” because she already has so much on her plate. To prevent that, tell her all the things you've been working on yourself. Why do you deserve this thing that you're asking for? Some examples might include:  You've...

You're carrying a developing baby who is growing inside your body and making room for itself. Your little bundle of joy may be creating noticeable marks in the form of stretch marks. Even post-baby, hormones can also be a factor in causing these skin abrasions. One way of combating stretch marks is using cocoa butter, which is a safe lotion to help fade skin blemishes. It is recommended to only gain the amount of weight that your doctor recommends. Excess weight gain can increase stretch mark formation. You may notice darker skin splotches due to hyperpigmentation. When you’re pregnant and your hormones are going haywire, increased melanin in your skin may cause noticeable difference. It may cause patches of your skin to darken, especially around the areolas.  You may also notice the pregnancy line, or linea nigra. This is a vertical line that appears going down the center of your stomach. It is normally too light to see, but it may darken and become visible during pregnancy.  There is nothing to worry about with skin pigmentation, but if you notice linea nigra, it may indicate you need more folic acid (a B vitamin). Talk to your doctor about this. You may relive your teenage years with an increase in acne. Since your body goes through a lot of hormonal changes during a pregnancy, you may develop acne or other skin abrasions. Mostly, your skin will clear up after your pregnancy. But, serious rashes like Chloasma (or sometimes called “Mask of Pregnancy”) can occur and needs to be treated by a doctor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьтесь к тому, что состояние кожи будет меняться. Обратите внимание на пигментацию кожи. Не выдавливайте прыщи.


You're entitled to whatever feelings come up.  You may experience intense anger, guilt, denial, sorrow, and fear, all of which are normal for a bereaved parent. Nothing is off the table, nothing is wrong. If the urge to cry comes up, just do it. Give yourself permission to feel. Keeping your emotions bottled up is just way too hard. If you keep your emotions inside, you'll only make yourself feel worse about the saddest thing you have ever experienced. It's perfectly natural and even healthy to let yourself feel everything you can about this loss, because this will put you on the path to accepting it. You won't ever fully be able to get over it, but you'll be able to build the strength to deal with the death of your child. If you don't embrace your feelings, you won't be able to move forward. There is no timetable to your grieving process. Every individual is just that: an individual.  Bereaved parents may experience many of the same emotions and difficulties; however, each parent's journey is different depending on personality and life circumstances.  For years, we relied on the popular notion that people progress through five stages of grief that begin with denial and end with acceptance. The new thinking is that there is no series of steps to be completed in the grieving process. Instead, people experience a grab bag of feelings and symptoms that come and go and eventually lift. In a recent research study, scientists learned that many people accept the death of a loved one right from the beginning and report more yearning for the lost individual than feelings of anger or depression. Because the grieving process is so personal to each individual, couples sometimes find themselves at odds because they can't understand the other's way of dealing with the loss. Understand that your spouse may have different coping mechanisms than you do and allow them to grieve in the way that suits them. During the grieving process, many people will experience a state of numbness. In this state, the world may seem like a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Признайте все свои чувства и эмоции. Забудьте о сроках. Не переживайте, если почувствуете оцепенение. Возьмите отпуск. Обратитесь к своей вере. Временно не принимайте никаких решений. Позвольте времени сделать свое дело.


You're going to be cutting the stem in half or in fourths and putting each half or quarter into a separate dye basin. Many rose stems need to be fairly short in order to do this, although not all need to be, especially if you can find a tall glass for your dye basin. If you want a truly mind-blowing tie-dye experience, cut the rose in fourths. Otherwise, just cut the stem in half. Creating two semi-stems should give you more than enough flower power — don't you worry. You don't have to cut the stem of the roses all the way up to the bottom of the flower. In most cases, cutting the stem up about halfway will be sufficient for the dyeing process. Popsicle molds make ideal receptacles for dyes, giving you the opportunity to dye several flowers at once. If you can't find a popsicle mold, consider using two glasses or two vases for each rose. Only a little amount is necessary, as long as it submerges the bottom of the rose stem. Try getting colors that match or interact well together. Red and pink work well, as do green and yellow; blue and purple; yellow and orange; green and blue. After about 8 hours, you'll begin to see some very nice coloring in your rose petals. After 24 hours, your rose petals should be almost a completely different color. Your roses are ready to present or dry out for posterity!

TL;DR in Russian:

Подрежьте все розы до одного размера. Разрежьте стебель каждой розы на две или четыре части. Найдите подходящую посуду для краски. В разные посудины поместите разную краску. Поместите кончики стеблей в посуду и оставьте их в таком положении до тех пор, пока они не впитают всю краску. Вытащите розы из посуды.


You're going to need a blender to puree some of your ingredients for your skin lightening treatment. Its recipe is based around licorice root extract, which has long been used in traditional treatments for medical skin conditions and can be found at health food stores. Including that, you'll also need:  Cucumber (unpeeled) Fresh lemon juice (1 tbsp) Licorice extract (several drops) Sandalwood paste (1 tbsp) Tomato juice (1 tbsp) But first, rinse off your cucumber to clean off any remaining dirt or bacteria on it. Once you've finished, put your cucumber in your blender. If your cucumber is small, you can puree the entire thing, but if it is a larger cucumber, you'll only need about half. Before anything else, drizzle a few drops of licorice root extract onto the cucumber paste. Then add to the blender one tablespoon of lemon juice, one tablespoon of sandalwood paste, and one tablespoon of tomato juice. Blend all of your ingredients until it forms a paste that is of uniform consistency. Now that your mixture is well blended, you can gently massage a layer of it onto your skin. To get the full effect and receive the full health benefits of this skin preparation, you'll need to let the mixture remain on your face for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture dries completely. The rinse should be done in two stages: the first with warm water and the second with cool. Rinsing with warm water opens and flushes out pores while washing away the mixture. The second rinse with cool water closes pores once you're done and removes any straggling bits of the mixture. To see the full effects of this skin treatment, you might want to consider applying it two to three times weekly.

TL;DR in Russian:

You're going to need a lot of calories to fuel the growth of your leg muscles, which are some of the largest in your body. Eat big meals filled with high quality foods that nourish your body and keep you full and satisfied.  Meat, whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, and nuts are good foods to consume when you're in a muscle-building program. Eat more than you think you need. During an intensive workout program you are going to need a lot of calories, and you'll probably need to eat at least 5 big meals a day. Avoid empty calories from fast food, cakes, cookies, chips, and other snack foods that will make you feel run down instead of energized. Protein is essential to building healthy muscles, so make sure you're getting a lot of it at every meal. Beef, pork, chicken, fish and lamb are all fine choices. Eggs and beans are good substitutes for those who don't eat a lot of meat. Some people find that they can accelerate the process of muscle growth by taking creatine. Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. This is achieved by increasing the formation of adenosine triphosphate.  Creatine comes in a powdered form. You mix it with water and drink it 2-3 times per day. Creatine is considered to be completely safe to use in doses of 20 grams (0.71 oz) for long periods of time. Always read the directions given.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ешьте высококалорийные здоровые продукты. Ешьте много белка. Попробуйте креатиновые пищевые добавки.


You're going to need something to that resembles a small gem to use as the nose stud, and glue to secure the nose stud in place. The stud can be made of jewels, beads, sequins, or anything with a tiny, flat surface. For the adhesive, fake eyelash glue is recommended, as it is soft and doesn't harm the skin.    You can get these materials online or at any craft store. Avoid any glues that can be harmful to your skin, particularly super glues. These can be dangerous and cause harm.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите все необходимые принадлежности.


You're in luck if there's a tree near your bedroom window, because it serves as a built-in escape route. Simply open your window, and climb onto the nearest tree branch. Then, proceed to climb down your tree. If you plan on sneaking out often, it might be a good idea to add some easily climbable steps to your tree. This can be done by simply nailing pieces of wood onto the trunk of your tree. Use these pieces of wood as steps to climb up and down the trunk of your tree. If your house has features like a terrace, a lower level roof, or a porch, take advantage of them while sneaking out. Using these house features will allow you to sneak out without having to use a rope or risk getting caught while setting up a ladder. The second story of your house has multiple windows. Choose the best window to climb out of by figuring out which one has the easiest escape route. One window may have a tree right next to it, or one window might be above an elevated porch or terrace. Choose whichever window is easiest to climb out of.

TL;DR in Russian:

Спуститесь по дереву, если оно есть у окна вашей спальни. Заберитесь на нижний уровень крыши или крыльца, если есть такая возможность. Определите, из какого окна лучше всего улизнуть.


You're more likely to stop drinking and smoking if you seek support from those around you.  Ask them to support you by not drinking and smoking around you. If you have other friends who are looking to quit drinking and smoking too, make a pact for healthier choices. Check in with each other daily and hold each other accountable for your choices. Reach out to smoke-free groups, such as smoke-free Alcoholics Anonymous and other support groups, like Nicotine Anonymous. Talking about your efforts in a supportive environment with people who share similar experiences can make all the difference in your attempts to quit. If you are concerned about living with people who may trigger your alcohol or nicotine use, consider finding a sober house that bans alcohol and nicotine. All individuals living in a sober house agree to live sober and create an accountable community for each other.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попросите о помощи друзей и родных. Следите за прогрессом вместе с друзьями. Найдите группы поддержки. Поселитесь в трезвом сообществе.


You're not going to want to go running through the house during the bathe, and you certainly don't want to be looking for a towel when you need to dry your cat, so make sure you've got everything ready. This will help create a more seamless and less traumatizing experience for your cat.  One large and soft towel for the initial wipe/wash down. Two or three soft wash clothes for extra dirty areas on your cat. One large and soft towel for drying. Shampoo, if you choose to use it. Use an extra towel if you plan to use shampoo. You need to find the perfect location to wash your kitty. It should be relatively warm, small, and safe. Your cat should also feel comfortable there. Consider:  You should have access to a sink. The area should be neither too hot nor cold. Preferably between 72 and 76 degrees. The area should be relatively small and enclosed so that your cat can’t escape. Bathrooms and laundry rooms are often ideal locations. Gather everything you'll need before hand, and do everything you can before you bring your cat into the room. Things like running a sink, and going in and out of a bathroom while your cat is detained will just cause undue anxiety for the detainee. You don’t want to spook your cat or cause anxiety for no reason. Consider the following:  Make sure not to have running water on when your cat comes to you. Pre-fill a sink with water. Pre-dampen a towel. Have treats or toys on hand to help relax your pet. When detailing your cat for the bath, do everything you can to make it a calm experience. If you can, call your cat into the room in which you’ll be washing him or her, rather than bringing her in by force. Consider the following:  Avoid chasing after your cat to bathe her. Don't pick a busy time of the day, like when everyone is coming home from school or work, to wash the cat. Use treats and positive reinforcement to lure your cat into the washing room. Before you begin the process of wetting poor kitty, make sure to properly comb her in order to remove any loose hair or dirt from her...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте мягкие полотенца и другие вещи, которые вам потребуются. Выберите подходящее место. Подготовьте место, где вы будете мыть кошку. Поймайте кошку в подходящий момент. Расчешите шерсть кошки. Постригите когти.


You're not the only one feeling regretful about something. Consider what others may be going through. Remember that empathy helps you to better understand the feelings of others. This may require you to challenge your own prejudices and truly listen to others. For example, if you regret heavy drinking during your years in college, you may have a deep understanding of how you son feels after a night he's not proud of. You may think about regret in terms of the following statements: "I should have...." "I could have...." "I can't believe I...." "Why didn't I....." Change these statements into statements of gratitude. You'll think about the past differently and start to lose the regret. When you catch yourself thinking a regretful statement, change it to a statement of gratitude. This can help you start thinking about the past in a positive light. For example, change "I should have gone to college," to "I am grateful it's not too late to go to college." Or change "I could have tried harder to stop drinking," to "I am grateful that I can try to do better now." Regret can cause resentment towards yourself and others. Instead, learn to forgive yourself. Not only will this reduce your feelings of regret, but it can improve your self-esteem. Healthy self-esteem is critical to many areas of your life, including relationships. Don't simply try to remove the regret. Instead, own up to your mistakes and feelings, but allow yourself to move on. The exercise of writing a letter will help you practice forgiving yourself. This emotional and cognitive tool will start to healing your feelings of regret. Write a letter addressed to your younger or past-self and in the letter talk to your younger-self like you might talk to your child or close friend. This will make sure that you are compassionate towards yourself. Remind your younger-self that you deserve the best in life even if you made mistakes, because you are human and it is ok to make mistakes. An affirmation is a positive statement to encourage, uplift you, and make you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проявляйте сочувствие. Попробуйте превратить сожаление в благодарность. Научитесь прощать себя. Напишите себе письмо. Каждый день упражняйтесь в аффирмациях.


You're probably good to go in the morning, after you've showered and put on clean clothes, but it's a good idea to take some time to freshen up throughout the day. Whether you're at school or work, there are things you can do to keep yourself smelling great even though you've been on your feet or at a desk all day long.  Brush your teeth or use mouthwash. It instantly makes you feel and smell fresher. Reapply perfume if necessary. Don't put on too much - just a light mid-day spritz. Change clothes if you need to. If you've been physically exerting yourself, you might want to change your underclothes or socks halfway through the day. Use sanitary wipes to quickly cleanse yourself. Get the unscented kind, since scented wipes have a strong smell. Do a quick swipe in areas that need freshening, then reapply deodorant. On days when you're extremely concerned about smelling good, try not to eat a lot of onions, garlic or spicy food. These foods have components that linger in the system for awhile, and they can change the way your breath and body smells.  Cruciferous vegetables, nuts and legumes also affect your smell. Eating a lot of broccoli, nuts or beans could cause you to get gassy. Instead, eat fruit and other water-heavy foods. They'll cleanse your system and help you smell good. Is your bedroom clean and fresh, or does it smell a little stale? How about your car and other places where you spend a lot of time? Keeping the spaces around you clean will help you smell fresh, too. Start by making sure your bedroom is clean. Put all your dirty clothes in a closed hamper, and hang up or fold your clean clothes for storage instead of letting them stay in a pile. Here are a few other ways to keep your spaces extra fresh:  Scent your sheets and pillows with herbal spray. Mix a few drops of essential oil with water and spray your linens when you make your bed. Shampoo your carpet regularly. Carpets tend to hold in odors, and can affect the way all of your belongings smell. Between shampoos, clean your carpet by...

TL;DR in Russian:

Освежайтесь несколько раз в день. Остерегайтесь продуктов с сильными запахами. Следите за чистотой окружающей среды. Придайте аромат вашим ящикам и шкафчикам.


You're probably thinking, "This again?" Yes. This again! Exfoliating after gets rid of the dead skin your razor whipped up and aligns your follicles preventing ingrown hairs (which are the worst). A sugar scrub at this point can work wonders. If that's not in your bathroom, make a baking soda paste to leave your skin smooth to the touch. This is obviously bikini shaving to the extreme -- warranting the absolute most top-notch results. Don't rub your bikini area vigorously, or you may irritate the delicate skin. It's just been through a lot! If you notice any stray hairs, grab a pair of tweezers to put the finishing touches on the area. Sometimes you can spend what seems like hours down there shaving and you've still missed a few. Use something that is non-scented as perfumes can be irritating, especially to freshly shaven skin. Aloe vera and baby oil  are good standard options. Avoid coloring agents, too. If you use lotion, make sure it's the plainest kind you can buy. You can spray on some scents later if you'd like. You may also apply baby lotion to the area to reduce irritation. Just don't go overboard! Smothering the area won't let your skin breathe, leading to pimples and the like. Make sure to only apply these products externally. For a constantly hair-free look, you may have to look at other hair removal techniques, such as waxing or laser hair removal. Shaving works, but it requires constant upkeep.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отшелушите снова. Мягким полотенцем высушите зону бикини. Используйте что-нибудь без ароматизаторов, так как они могут раздражить свежевыбритую кожу. Нанесите на область лобка немного детской присыпки. Делайте перерывы между бритьем в несколько дней.


You're using natural remedies for your acne treatment — that's great. Don't wipe away all your gains by popping your pimples. The short-term gratification might be overwhelming, but it's really not good in the long run.  Acne is a bacteria that lives in your pores. Popping the pimple gives the acne a chance to spread over the skin to other pores, infecting them. Popping pimples causes inflammation and may lead to scarring. So if you want your acne to be less visible, resist the urge to pop. Stop before you pop. Washing your face is good: try to wash once in the morning and once at night. But over-washing your face can cause further irritation and unnecessarily dry out the skin. Washing your face over and over again will not give you a better shot at treating your acne. Your skin is an organ in your body, just like your kidney. Like your kidney, it needs to be fed with water and moisture to function properly. That's where moisturizing comes in. After every time you wash your face, moisturize. Different skin types call for different moisturizers. Cream-based moisturizers are probably more effective for dry skin, as they tend to be oily. Gel-based moisturizers are better for oily skin, as they disperse more evenly on the skin. Preferably the kind that doesn't irritate your skin, but still protects you from sun damage. Acne can be made worse by overexposure to the sun and by sun damage, making this an easy proposition. For better-looking skin, wear sunscreen. These things may seem to have nothing to do with the quality of your skin, but they in fact have a very meaningful relationship with quality of skin.  Doctors don't exactly know why, but stress worsens acne. When stress is produced in humans, the hormones that regulate sebum, an excess of which produces acne, stop working as well. So find healthy ways to reduce stress in your life and see your skin get better! The more you sleep, the less stress you put your body through. You have about 15% more stress for every hour of sleep you lose per night. And we just...

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь не ковырять и не выдавливать прыщи. Умывайтесь дважды в день, не чаще и не реже. Увлажнение. Используйте солнцезащитный крем. Достаточно отдыхайте, занимайтесь спортом и уменьшите количество стресса.


You're using the same amount of cards in the same format. That's piles of 5 on the right and piles of 6 on the left (turned-up card included). The stock is the same, too. If you're unsure as to what that fashion is, read up on the one-suit version. It's much easier and every new player should start with it. Instead of completely ignoring the suits, this time you're just going to lump them by color. That is, hearts and diamonds are "one suit" and clubs and spades are another. For the one suit version, you just needed to make numerical sequences (7-8-9, for example). Now you can still make those sequences, but you can only move them in chunks if they're the same color. That is, you can put a 7 of hearts on an 8 of spades, but you can't move them together. You could, however, move a 7 of hearts and an 8 of hearts (or diamonds). This adds a considerable level of difficulty to the game. The rest of the game is the same, regardless of whether you're playing one suit, two suit, or the four suit version. You still use the stock when you have no moves to make, you still have to turn over face down cards when they're open, and you still have to have cards in every pile before you can use the stock.  And the format is the same, too. Same amount of cards, same amount of piles. If you skipped method one, you may wish to refer to it. What's more, if you're new to Spider Solitaire, definitely start with one suit -- it's much, much easier! Again, the only difference is how you move the clusters, not how you make them. So be very careful when you move that red card onto that black card -- you may not be able to get to that black card for a while!

TL;DR in Russian:

Сложите ваши карты так же, как и в предыдущем варианте с одной мастью. Различайте карты на красные и черные. Перемещайте карты и стопки одного цвета. Остальные правила остаются в силе.


You're writing the letter to thank your customer for doing business with you, so it's no longer necessary to subject the person to advertising. Assume good rapport at this point. Make the customer feel like an insider.  Phrases like "we hope to do business with you again soon" sound like tag lines; best to leave these out. Don't say something you wouldn't say to an acquaintance. Don't include a product pitch, a mention of an upcoming sale, or anything else that could be construed as an ad. Even if you're mailing dozens of letters, it's better not to use a postage machine. That's a giveaway that this thank-you note is one of many, and it will make the customer feel less special. In fact, it may mean your thank-you note will end up in the junk mail pile. Again, the more personalized you make the thank-you note, the better it will be received. If you don't have time to address envelopes, have someone else do it. Even if you're not the person actually writing out the address, the customer will be impressed to see handwriting. Make sure your phone number and address are included in the correspondence, and give the customer warm encouragement to get in touch for any reason. If your customer does contact you, be ready to meet his or her needs promptly.

TL;DR in Russian:

Боритесь с желание навязать новые услуги. Отправляйте письмо с настоящей почтовой маркой. По возможности пишите адрес от руки. Предоставьте контактную информацию и будьте готовы к общению.


You've already narrowed it down to street magic, but think about which props you want to work with. If you have a specific area in mind you'd like to perform in, consider the limitations of space, lighting, and noise. You'll probably want to start out in an area without large crowds or other magicians so you can practice commanding a smaller audience's attention. You'll have a more interesting routine if you learn several different types of tricks, but start by focusing on what drew you to the magic tricks in the first place. There are several suggestions below you can use as a base for your performance. A foundational skill for magicians is the ability to manipulate small objects in unexpected ways. Practice the disappearing coin trick until you can perform it without looking. Continue to practice in front of family and other friendly audiences so you can develop your misdirection skills, directing the audience's attention away from your hands.  If you enjoy that coin trick, spice it up with variations such as the coin falling through your head. Expand your coin act with knuckle rolling. Once you're a real expert, try advanced sleight of hand tricks such as putting a coin in an audience member's pocket. A coin is a simple and traditional object to use while practicing sleight of hand, but you move on to all sorts of objects. Make an audience member's watch (briefly) disappear as a simple lead in, or practice other tricks that involve sleight of hand, such as the missing card illusion. Almost everyone is familiar with card tricks, but with hundreds of variations out there, you can still find ways to surprise and delight your audience.   The four of a kind card trick involves no sleight of hand and only minimal audience distraction, making it a good first choice. This type of trick involves stacking the deck beforehand, so it won't work on a tough audience that tells you to shuffle the cards.  Card control techniques are vital for "guess the card" type tricks. Use sleight of hand to make your card tricks seem...

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, какие виды трюков вы будете использовать. Тренируйте ловкость ваших рук. Рассмотрим несколько карточных фокусов. Соберите реквизит и отточите еще больше трюков. Выберите кричащие трюки, которые привлекут внимание толпы. Постоянно изучайте и практикуйтесь в новых трюках.


You've been hurt, and you feel sad. These are normal emotions, and you need to accept that they are happening. Don't lie to others, and yourself, by saying "I'm fine" when you are not. You may be able to push it down for a while, but something else will bring it up again, and you'll be worse off because you weren't honest with yourself. In fact, it's okay to feel a whole range of emotions, including sadness, confusion, and anger. The key is not to let those feelings affect your whole life. Do not try to numb yourself to the pain or swear off relationships forever. These activities will only hurt you in the long run. Instead, give yourself time to feel the hurt. Crying is a good and healthy way to express extreme feelings, so if you feel like crying, let it out. Find a place where you can be alone, or with a good friend, and let the tears flow. It'll be over more quickly than you think, and you'll feel a little better afterward getting those emotions out. There are some places where that is inappropriate, public settings like a store or in class, so you'll want to be able to  control your tears in public. Breathe deeply (in through your nose and out through your mouth), and blink a few times to control the tears. You can try to distract yourself with some kind of physical movement like squeezing a stress ball. If a few tears do slip out, cover them with a yawn, or blame something like allergies or feeling sick. . Avoid letting negative thoughts control your worldview. These include filtering, that is looking at only the negative aspects of your situation, and personalizing, blaming yourself entirely for what happened. Keep an eye on yourself to see if you are looking at your situation this way, and from there look for ways to avoid those negative thoughts. An excellent way to expel negative energy is to  meditate. Put yourself in a comfortable seated position in a comfortable place, usually alone and away from distractions like television or other stimulating things. Breath deeply, and let your mind go by...

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите в глаза своей разбитой любви. Помните, что грустить — это нормально. Поплачьте. Высвободите негативные мысли Проанализируйте свои отношения.


You've determined that you enjoy being sexual with your partner, but are still not ready to have sex. Perhaps you're just not ready now, or you may have decided that you want to wait until marriage before you engage in sexual intercourse. If you are avoiding sex for religious or cultural reasons, understand that some of the practices in this section may be considered sex by your community's standards. What is it? Heavy petting is erotic contact between two people that stops short of penetrative sex (vaginal, anal, or oral). The risk of disease and pregnancy are greatly reduced, though there is still a very small risk in either case, depending on the level of intimate contact. This can range from all-clothes-on "dry humping," to all-clothes off touching sessions including mutual masturbation and sexual satisfaction. Because orgasm is generally part of the process, it's safe to say this is sexual activity, and does carry a low risk of pregnancy or disease. However, neither result is likely. Neither partner should feel obligated to perform other sexual acts to avoid intercourse. While oral sex can be pleasurable for both partners, it is not without its risks. Pregnancy is not an issue, but disease transmission is still possible.  The CDC reports that over 60% of U.S. residents between the ages of 15 and 24 have had oral sex, compared to about 50% who have had vaginal intercourse.  The CDC study also reports that patients visiting STD clinics have shown that 5-10% have gonorrhea in the throat, and can raise the risk for infection by chlamydia, herpes, syphilis, and cancer-linked HPV, and recommends using safe sex techniques when performing oral sex.

Не стоит идти до конца. Занимайтесь бурными ласками. Занимайтесь сексом без проникновения. Занимайтесь оральным сексом.


You've determined what grind level you need for your coffee maker, so make sure your grinder is up to the job. There are three main types of grinders to choose from, and they're each great for different grind levels:  A blade grinder is perfect for very coarse, medium coarse, coarse, or medium grinds. This is the most common type of grinder since it works well for drip coffee makers, French presses and cold brew makers alike. The beans are put into the top of the grinder, and when you put the lid on and press it down, it activates a blade that chops up the beans. A burr grinder is necessary to achieve medium fine, fine and very finely ground coffee. Blade grinders simply can't cut it that finely. If you're making Turkish coffee or Espresso, you need a burr grinder for it to come out right. Burr grinders are more expensive than blade grinders, but you can set them to any level of grind. Get this grinder if precision is important to you.  Finally, you can use a hand grinder if you like to do things the old-fashioned way. You load the beans in a canister and pump a handle that causes the blades inside to churn. This type of grinder is fun to use, but it won't give you as precise a grind as the electric grinders. You might be tempted to grind up enough to last the week, and while this might be convenient (and keep your partner happy, since the noise of a grinder isn't the prettiest sound to wake up to every morning), your coffee will taste better if you use freshly ground beans. You bought whole beans and you have a grinder, so you might as well get the most out of your coffee every day. Measure out about two tablespoons of coffee beans per cup. This differs slightly according to taste, but it's the generally rule for making coffee. If you like your coffee strong, use about two tablespoons of beans per six ounces; if you're a fan of slightly watery coffee, use two tablespoons of beans per eight ounces.  Your individual grinder and coffee maker will also play a part in the strength of your coffee. Experiment to...

You've heard it in many forms: follow your passions, find your dreams, do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. And while that's partly true, what's more true is that part of your day should be devoted to something that makes you feel good. It may not be your passion or your dream, but you love it. It'll fill your life with purpose, and a life with purpose is much easier to enjoy than a life without one. For many of us, doing what we love for a living isn't an option, at least right now. And that's fine you don't have to do what you love from 9 to 5 every weekday. Fit it in where you can, and it'll keep you going. In fact, you'll want to keep going. Doing what you love will provide you with drive and ambition, and get you looking forward to each and every new day. The fact of the matter is that life is just easier when you get along with those around you. You don't have to have them over for dinner every night, but be friendly. You'll never know who can help you out and make your life better or who you can help out, too. This isn't only about your coworkers, either. Make friends with your neighbors, your in-laws, whoever is in your circle that could be a little closer. Friends at work makes work more enjoyable, being friendly with your neighbors makes being at home more enjoyable, and having a large social network will help you feel loved and secure. It's easy to spend your days in a cubicle and your nights in front of a TV. Days like that, it's pretty hard to remember how beautiful the world is. Take a moment to find a piece of beauty in your life and acknowledge it. Let it sink in. Isn't this world pretty amazing? It could be anything from your significant other to a rose you passed on the street. It could even be an exchange of a person helping out another person. What strikes you as beautiful? What about yourself and your beauty? Life is too short to be surrounded by negativity, especially if we're looking at each day as a separate life (then life is far, far too short). Because of this,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Делайте то, что вы любите. Заведите друзей среди коллег. Найдите что-то прекрасное, чем можно восхищаться каждый день. Наполните жизнь позитивными людьми. Покажите свою привязанность к тем, кто вам не безразличен.


You've made your mind up to change, but how and why? Clearly identifying the problem, or the aspect of yourself that is leading you to seek change, is the only way it can be solved. What will changing result in?  It's best to start positive. Write down a list of what you like about yourself. If that's difficult, what do others say they like about you? Knowing your good qualities makes it easier to draw on them later to get rid of the habits you're trying to kick. In one sentence, state exactly what you want. Make sure it's what you want and not what others think you should want. If you don't actually desire change, it won't come. Next, make a list of reasons why you want this change. Seeing all the motivations written down in front of you--and referring to it later--will keep you on the right path. Making self-affirmations, or telling yourself positive things about yourself, may help you establish your core values and stay focused on the person you want to be.  While unrealistic self-affirmations (like “I accept everything about myself completely”) may not work because they could trigger potential argument with yourself, realistic positive statements like “I am a valuable person and a hard worker” may help you stay positive and even become a better problem-solver. To make effective self-affirmations, try the following:  Use “I am” statements For example, “I am a good person;” “I am a hard worker;” “I am creative.”  Use “I can” statements For example, “I can reach my full potential;” “I can become who I want to be;” “I can achieve my goals.”  Use “I will” statements For example, “I will become the person I want to be;” “I will overcome obstacles;” “I will prove to myself that I can improve my life.” Visualization is a kind of mental rehearsal that can help you imagine a different situation.  You can have an abstract visualization (all in your head) or a more concrete expression of your visualization, like a collection of images that represent what you're working towards.  Effective visualization can help you...

You've probably noticed a time or two when you've just been so busy, you haven't had time to even think. Well, outlets and hobbies can do that, too. Your mind gets so wrapped in what you're doing that the negative emotions kind of fall by the wayside. And to top it off, you develop a skill. This skill can make you feel more proud of yourself, content, and masterful. Did we mention yet that doing a thing you enjoy releases endorphins, making you feel happier, too? All the more reason to pick up that hobby you've been meaning to – whether it's painting, cooking, blogging, soccer, martial arts, or photography, just to name a few. Even with all this positive self-talk and new hobbies you're picking up, negative emotions are bound to seep through the occasional crack or two. When that happens, some find that it's helpful to write them down. Here are a few ways to write them down and then make sure they never return:  Write them on a piece of paper and then burn it. Sounds cliché, but it can be effective. And, if you'd like, take the ashes and scatter them in the wind. Buy window crayons and use them in the shower. The color runs off in the water. As you're washing yourself, you write down what's getting at you and the words disappear in the stream. You might need to do a little scrubbing after, but it's worth it. Invest in a product like a Buddha board. This is an easel that stands on top of a trough of water. You dip your paintbrush in the water, paint on the easel, and slowly the strokes evaporate. It's not easy to change your thinking. You've been working on it for years. But you can change how you respond to these thoughts and feelings. In other words, you can relate to yourself better and show a little sympathy. It's not holding it all in that makes you strong; it's letting go. Feeling like you're weak, sad, and vulnerable is just another judgment you're passing on yourself. What's the point of that? Realize that you're human and give yourself some credit. You deserve it. All of us have negative emotions that...

You, the producer, are the very first person to start the process of creating a play. Before anything else can happen, you (and/or your staff) need to decide which play to produce. You may decide to put on a theatrical classic, like Les Miserables, Death of a Salesman, Ms. Saigon, or A Raisin in the Sun - well-known plays like these frequently receive stage productions decades after their debuts. However, you may also decide to debut a new play. If this is the case, you should make a point to seek out quality scripts from talented writers, who may be found in a variety of places, including college campuses, theater companies, or via an agent or publisher. Note that plays are intellectual property and, as such, will often require royalty fees for their use. Be sure to contact the playwright, his or her agent, or the rights owner if the script you've chosen isn't public domain. The director is the "boss" of the play as far as creative decisions are concerned. S/he directs the actors as they rehearse, has the final say on aesthetic decisions like prop and set design, and, ultimately, will receive much of the glory (or derision) that the play garners upon its reception. The producer is responsible for finding a director who will be a good fit for the play - this can be a friend or professional partner or a promising newcomer. Keep in mind, however, that the director can always decline the invitation to direct or attempt to negotiate for a higher fee. As a producer, it is your job to find replacement directors and/or participate in negotiations as necessary. Some producers take on the role of director as well. This puts an enormous amount of responsibility on one person's shoulders, so be cautious about tackling this double-role unless you have plenty of experience. One of the producer's most important functions is to pay for the play. If you are wealthy enough to pay for the play on your own, you may choose to be its sole financial backer. However, many plays are financed by a group of investors - wealthy...

YouTube has a new “Shared Videos” feature, which allows users of the mobile app to share videos and chat with YouTube Contacts. Android Police reports that this feature is not yet available to all users, but may appear “spontaneously” in your app. If you see an icon that looks like a chat bubble with an arrow pointing to the right, you can use this method. You’ll need to add your friend as a YouTube Contact before you can chat with (and send videos to) your friends on YouTube. This list of YouTube users is built from your Google contacts and other people you communicate with online. The icon is a plus sign next to the silhouette of a person’s head, and appears below the contact’s name.  This person will need to approve your contact request before you can start sharing. They’ll only be able to approve your invitation if they also have the YouTube app installed on their device. The invitation will expire after 72 hours. If the person with whom you want to share is not listed in “You May Know,” create an invitation that can be shared with anyone. When the URL appears, click “Send Invitation,” then choose an app with which you’ll share the link. Once you’ve added contacts (and they’ve approved your invitations), you can view their YouTube channels by navigating to the Shared tab and then selecting “Contacts”. To share a video with your contacts, tap the “Share” link below the YouTube video of your choice, then select one of your YouTube contacts.

YouTube’s community guidelines prohibit nudity/sexual content, violent/graphic content, hateful content, spam, harmful/dangerous content, threats, and content that doesn’t respect copyright. For comments, the particularly relevant prohibitions are hateful comments, threatening comments, and spam. What is your purpose for commenting on the video? Did it inspire you? Did it make you laugh? Do you think the person who made the video missed something and could improve it? Are you hoping to start a discussion thread? Leaving mean or thoughtless comments is more likely to get you blocked than noticed, so think about your comments before posting them. As an example, maybe you watched a beginner's dance tutorial video on YouTube; maybe you’re a beginner, and even though the tutorial was aimed at people like you, you felt that it was still too difficult. You want to communicate to the teacher in the video that you found the dance routine difficult to learn. Before commenting on a video, skim through as many comments as you can to ensure that you’re not just repeating what someone else has already said. If you do find a comment that says what you want to say, consider liking (clicking on the “thumbs up” icon below the comment) and/or replying to it rather than posting a new comment altogether. If you don’t like a video, it’s okay to say so — just be respectful. If your first thought after watching a video is, “Well, that was terrible. What a waste of time!”, why waste more of your time in commenting on it? If you simply must comment, figure out why you hated the video, and offer some advice on how it might be made stronger.  Avoid comments like “Teaching style sucks! What a waste of time — learn how to teach!!!!” Try using comments like “Thank you for making this tutorial! I’m a beginner, and even though the tutorial is made for beginners, I really struggled with it. For me, I think it would have really helped to have the dance broken down into more sections, with a couple of run-throughs after each section. At the...

Young children need reminders. If your child is about to break a rule or is starting to act inappropriately, give them a warning. Once they receive the warning, they will know that completing the behavior will result in a consequence. When giving a warning, use “If….then” statements so your child knows there will be a consequence.For example, say, “It’s not okay to hit. If you hit, then you get a timeout.” Your child is still building their vocabulary, so don’t over-explain their behavior or consequences. Speak simply and with as few words as possible to your toddler. Explain what they did wrong and why they got a consequence. Then, tell them what to do in the future.For example, say, “You hit Anna, so you went to timeout. We do not hit. If you feel upset, come get me.” Toddlers love to feel in control as they begin to build their independence. If misbehavior starts because they don’t want to do something, give them a choice. This helps them limit what the need to think about and take control of what happens next.  For example, you might let a toddler choose which bedtime story to read or which shirt to wear.  If they’re having a fit about putting on their shoes, let them pick between the green ones or the red ones. The choice may also include putting on their jacket or going to timeout. Say, “It’s your choice. Which do you want?”

TL;DR in Russian:

Young female mice have nipples that are much more prominent than the nipples of a male. Position the mouse on its back to view its stomach. To do this, take the mouse by the scruff of its neck, and turn the mouse on its back in your hand. Nipples may be obscured by the fur on the mouse's stomach. Try to part the fur or feel the belly to see if you can spot the nipples. They may look like bald spots if the mouse is young.  It can be difficult to spot nipples on pinkies but with good lighting and an observant eye, you can spot nipples as early as three days after birth. Be aware that male mice lack nipples entirely, so this is a good way to identify whether a mouse is male, too. Pregnancy is usually an easy visual determination of sex, as the nipples will swell and drop, forming "saddlebags" around the hip area. However, not all mice will be as obvious, and for some, obese males may look just like pregnant females. The nipples may also take on a pink, rosy appearance when a mouse is pregnant. This is known as “pinking up” and it is a common sign of pregnancy, but it can be hard to spot. Adult male mice have testicles that are pretty easy to see most of the time. However, you may have to be patient in order to get a look, because a male mouse can withdraw his testicles into his body. One way to get a good look is to wait for the mouse to eat while 'standing' on the rim of its food bowl. Most of the time his testicles will descend during this position. They look like small balls or pillows and are near the scrotum. You could also try placing the mouse on a sheet of glass or in a glass cage. Offer the mouse some treats to keep it still and check for its testicles from the under the glass.

Young guppies, also known as "fry", require special feeding separate from the adults, and should be separated for their safety as well.Prepare a 5 gallon (20 L) tank with care, making sure it has everything necessary for the guppies' survival. As with any aquarium, running a fishless cycle is an excellent way to prepare the tank before you introduce any fish. Purchase a breeding net or mesh from a fish store that divides the tank into two sections. The newly hatched guppies will be able to swim through the holes of the net and escape the mother fish, which may try to eat them. If you don't want to purchase a net or are not sure if the net you have has the right sized holes, you may protect the fry by planting several aquarium plants for them to hide in. Females have a dark spot on their abdomen, also called a gravid spot, which becomes much darker once her internal eggs have been fertilized. The eggs will grow inside her for 21–30 days, and her abdomen will become larger and darker as this happens. Transfer the female back to the main tank as soon as you notice she has given birth, so she does not compete with the fry for food or attempt to eat her young. If you are breeding guppies to sell or to produce specific traits, move the male and female you wish to breed into the tank before the female is pregnant. Return the male to the main tank once you notice the darker gravid spot. Note that female guppies can store sperm for months, so a fish you purchased as an adult may be fertilizing her eggs with a male not present in your tank for the first several litters. Guppy fry have tiny mouths and high protein requirements, so they must be fed separately from the adults. Have their special food ready to go before the fry are born, and include both protein sources and vegetable matter. High quality protein can be supplied in the form of baby brine shrimp (not adult), microworms, finely chopped beef heart, and/or a mash of egg yolk and water. Vegetable matter can be used in smaller quantities, and can take the form of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте отдельный аквариум для разведения мальков. Разделите ваш аквариум на две секции с помощью сети для разведения. Переместите беременных самок в аквариум для разведения, до того, как они родили. Подготовьте специальный корм для ваших мальков. Кормите мальков несколько раз в день. Меняйте часто воду в небольших количествах. Постепенно снижайте частоту кормления мальков.


Young puppies often do not know how hard they are biting, and so they bite playfully without understanding how it affects others. Puppies usually learn that they're biting hard by playing with other puppies or adult dogs. Puppies will nip and bite each other playfully until one puppy or dog is nipped too hard and gives out a high-pitched yelp. The victim will stop playing, and the puppy that bit the victim is taken aback and also stops playing momentarily. Next time the puppy plays, if she bites too hard and gets the same reaction, she begins to realize that her bites can actually hurt other puppies and people.  The puppy uses this evidence to modify her behavior. Adult dogs tolerate the (sometimes naughty) behavior of young puppies reasonably well, but they become less tolerant as the puppy ages.  It is as though the adult dog thinks that the puppy “ought to know better.”  Hence, as the puppy ages, the severity of the correction from an adult dog changes from a mere change in play to a quick message that may include a growl or a snap.  In more extreme cases of correction, an adult dog will jump on a puppy and pin it down on its back to really teach her a lesson; in most cases, this should not be replicated by human owners unless under direction and supervision of an experienced trainer. Due to this natural progression, puppies generally learn from adult dogs that biting is unacceptable before they are old enough to cause harm to other dogs or people. When selecting a training technique for your puppy, keep in mind the amount of time you are able to spend on the training and the appropriateness of the training method for your situation. If you have children, it is important that the puppy understands not to bite them, but it may not be appropriate for the children to participate in the training.

Young robust goldfish are ideal because of their high fertility and sex-drive. For a female goldfish, look for ones with large rear and pectoral areas; for males, find a large mate (approximately anywhere from 4 to 6 inches) that is also a fast swimmer. Males with many small tubercles behind their heads on their gills is a sign of an ideal mate. For an ideal mix of breeders, try to isolate your three best male and two best female goldfish. You will notice that the male goldfish will bear a lighter tint around their stomach area and be swimming swiftly around the tank, typically chasing the females. The female will drop the eggs over one of the plants, once the male goldfish will distribute sperm over the eggs to fertilize them. If you miss the moment of procreation but see eggs in the plants, they have likely been fertilized. Introduce one male and one female together in a shallow tank. Gently hold the male goldfish and lightly rub his vent, clearing it of sperm. Swirl the sperm in the water and repeat the same process with the vent of the female, releasing her eggs. Swirl the water again to combine the sperm and the eggs.  Be very ginger with artificial insemination. Your goldfish can bruise easily, so apply very light pressure when clearing their vents. You don't have to keep your goldfish underwater as you squeeze their vents. Goldfish, like other fish, can breathe outside of water, although not as well. Just be sure to keep them out of water for no more than 30 seconds at a time. Unfortunately, goldfish in captivity have a tendency to eat nearly all their eggs. This makes it necessary to separate the parents from their eggs almost immediately to ensure a full batch of eggs is hatched successfully. Fertilized eggs should hatch within 4 to 7 days, depending on the temperature of the water.  When the eggs finally do hatch soon after they are fertilized, you can feed them the same food that you feed the adults. Just make sure that they are in even smaller bites than the adult food so their smaller mouths and...

Your (hopefully) spouse-to-be should be surprised, delighted, and / or put a bit off-balance by your proposition. It is the sort of romantic moment most people live for, so be sure to get it right by planning it out early. Think about the appropriate place, time, and words to say. You should think of things your partner particularly enjoys – favorite restaurants, activities, and / or music – but for whatever reason does not get to indulge in often. Use these as background elements to set up a truly memorable proposition to marry. Short, simple words carry a lot more power than big, fancy words. If you want to make a great impact with what you say, plan to speak plainly and from the heart. Since you are doing the asking, it is your responsibility to have the engagement ring picked out ahead of time. Think about what your partner likes and dislikes. If there is jewelry for you to examine, do so and avoid gems and colors that make few or no appearances in your partner's current collection.  Feel free to specifically ask your partner about engagement rings, but be sure to do it well in advance of when you actually plan to buy the ring, so he or she will have forgotten all about it. Do not feel as though you have to spend an exorbitant amount of money on an engagement ring. The more important thing is what the ring symbolizes. Besides, the wedding itself is likely to set you back plenty on its own. With the ring stowed safely away, begin your day or night out together. Be on your best behavior and keep things happy and bright. When the time comes, drop to one knee in front of your partner, pull out your ring, and say your piece. With any luck, you will get a resounding “yes!”. Propose in public, if you can help it at all. Having witnesses around proves to your lover that you are ready to get married no matter who knows it and no matter what they might think. The people around you will love the show, too. Once the night is through and you are successfully engaged to be married, waste no time in laying out plans for...

Your AirPods case should be looking almost new by now. The last step is a quick finishing polish using a dry microfiber cloth. Rub the case down gently and firmly, giving it a last going over to complete the cleaning process. Wipe down each AirPod carefully. If there is gunk in the grilles, gently brush it away with a toothbrush. You can use a tiny amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab for dried-on wax, but be very careful not to get it near the grilles and speaker elements. They’ll be ready for their next usage.

Your BMR is what you use to calculate your calorie intake. It is based on your age, height, weight, and gender. Most calorie calculators use the Harris-Benedict equation to determine how many calories you should be eating every day.  A male's BMR is usually equal to: 65 + (6.2 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) – (6.8 x age in years) A female's BMR is usually equal to: 655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.3 x height in inches) – (4.7 x age in years) Calorie calculators also factor in your level of activity. If you are very active, for example, with hard exercise almost every day of the week, you may need to consume more calories than if you lead a more sedentary lifestyle, where you do little to no activity. The five different levels of activity are:  Sedentary: You have a desk job where you sit all day long and do little to no exercise every week. Lightly active: You do light exercise such as walking or jogging short distances, or play sports about one to three days a week. Moderately active: You do moderate exercise or play sports occasionally, being around 4 or more days in a week. Very active: You do hard, intense exercise and/or playing sports is almost a daily activity for you. Extremely active: You do intense daily exercise or sports twice or more in a day, and have a physical labor job or are doing a training camp for football or another contact sport. You can put all of the above information in calorie counting tool that will estimate your required calories per day, based on your BMR, available here. Once you have your estimated calorie intake, consider how you will reduce or increase your calorie intake per day based on your fitness goals.  If you are trying to lose weight, reduce your estimated calorie intake by 500 per day. Balance your fitness plan by eating 250 calories less a day and exercising enough to burn 250 calories. For example, walking or running 2.5 miles a day. When planning your meals, cut back on portion sizes to reduce the amount of calories you consume by 250. If you...

Your BMR will tell you how many calories your body needs to function properly if you spent the entire day doing absolutely nothing.  This is also known as your metabolic rate or metabolism.  Your body burns calories just to fulfill life-sustaining processes like breathing, digesting food, repairing and growing tissue and circulating blood.  You will use the results from the BMR equation to find out how many calories you need to either lose weight or maintain your weight. Use the following equation (known as the Harris Benedict Equation) that is commonly used by health professionals to determine calorie needs. for men:  66.47 + (13.7 * weight [kg]) + (5 * size [cm]) − (6.8 * age [years])  Use the following equation for women:  655.1 + (9.6 * weight [kg]) + (1.8 * size [cm]) − (4.7 * age [years]) In addition to essential bodily functions, you must also account for the calories you burn through daily activity. Once you have your BMR, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor:  If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : BMR x 1.2 If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports one to three days/week) : BMR x 1.375 If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports three to five days/week) : BMR x 1.55 If you are very active (hard exercise/sports six to seven days a week) : BMR x 1.725 If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports and physical job or 2x training) : BMR x 1.9 For example, a 19-year-old woman who is 5’5” and 130 pounds would plug her information into the calculator and find out that her BMR is 1,366.8 calories. Then, since she is moderately active, exercising three to five days per week, she would multiply 1,366.8 by 1.55, to equal 2,118.5 calories. That is the number of calories that her body burns on an average day. In order to lose 1 pound of fat each week, you must have a deficit of 3,500 calories over the course of a week.  Cutting out about 500 calories each day will result in a 3,500 calorie deficit over the course of the entire week. Only aim to lose 1 or 2 pounds...

Your Betta may also have a paler hue than normal and white or cotton-like patches on his body. These are all signs of a fungal infection. Fungus can grow in tanks that are not treated with salt and Aquarisol once the tank water is added. The fungus can spread quickly from one infected fish to the other fish in the tank so it should be treated right away. This is a symptom of a bacterial infection called popeye. Your fish may have developed popeye due to dirty tank water, or due to a more serious illness like tuberculosis. Sadly, tuberculosis is not curable in fish and is fatal for Betta fish. Tuberculosis can cause curved spines (not to be confused with the natural "hump" that older bettas develop). These are symptoms of dropsy, which is a bacterial infection in your fish’s kidneys. It can cause renal failure and fluid accumulation, or bloating. It often occurs in fish that are weakened due to poor water conditions or from eating contaminated food. Once your fish suffers from kidney failure as a result of fluid buildup, your fish will likely die. You can prevent your fish from contracting dropsy by not feeding him live worms or contaminated food. Aquarium salt baths can draw out fluid, and medicines can help. Since it's hard to know what medicines are appropriate, and usually dropsy worsens quickly, painlessly euthanizing is acceptable. This is a sign of fish ick or ich. The spots may be slightly raised and your fish will likely scratch against objects in the tank due to irritated and itchy skin. Your fish may also have respiratory issues and appear to gasp at the surface of the tank water. Ick attacks fish that are stressed due to irregular water temperature and pH fluctuations in the water. These are all signs of a bacterial infection that causes your fish’s fins, tail and mouth to rot. Fin rot typically occurs in fish who are bullied by other fish in the tank or who are injured by a fin-nipping tank mate. A poor tank environment can also contribute to the development of fin rot. However, if your fish is a...

Обратите внимание на слипшиеся плавники рыбки или снижение уровня ее активности. Осмотрите глаза рыбы, чтобы понять, не выступают ли они излишним образом из головы. Проверьте, нет ли у рыбы оттопыренных чешуек и вздутия. Обратите внимание на появление на теле рыбы белых крапинок или пятен, похожих на крупинки соли или песка. Посмотрите, не стали ли плавники и хвост рыбы потрепанными и блеклыми. Посветите на рыбу фонариком, чтобы выявить золотистый или ржавый налет на теле. Проверьте, не плавает ли ваша рыбка на боку, и не лежит ли она без движения на дне аквариума. Обратите внимание на возникновение на теле рыбы беловато-зеленых нитей.


Your Capricorn has a ton going on in their world -- both the world on the outside and the one in their heads. Not only are they doing a million things at once (usually climbing up the career ladder), but they have a million things going on in their brains, too. They're very cautious and practical and need to develop a plan before they take any action. If you spring something on them, they won't feel prepared. Baby steps are the only way to get to their heart. Build a foundation of friendship, first. They are incredibly logical people -- if you're not a good match, they don't want to waste time fooling around. They need to know before they get into anything that it'll be worth their while. So show them you're interested, you're in it to win it, and that you're willing to wait. Sometimes Capricorn is so enveloped in their career or something else going on in their lives that even the most obvious of flirtations can be lost. You might feel as if you've been waiting on their doorstep coquettishly for weeks when you finally ask them out and they seem taken aback. It's because they didn't see you coming! If the ball needs propulsion, you may have to do it yourself. Make them feel secure. Capricorns aren't ones for spontaneous actions; if they know it's coming, they'll embrace it. So plan out your date and show them you've put thought into your offer. If you're a woman, this is a fine, fine line. Some Capricorn men are very traditional and expect themselves to fulfill the most stereotypical of gender norms. So if he's obviously traditional and not asking, put yourself out there but don't outright ask. You may need to do him the favor of making it clear you're a "yes" before he does ask. Patient, loyal Cappy is also very stoic, at times melancholy, and almost always serious. To give them the change of pace they desperately want but can't seem to find, make them laugh! Even though they don't seem to be about humor themselves, it doesn't mean they don't crave it. Just about anytime and anywhere and anyhow is a good way...

Your Facebook profile image and your cover image are the first things people looking at your page will see, so make them visually appealing and approachable.  When choosing a profile picture, look for one that shows off your smile, your eyes, or a moment where you look expressive and friendly. Avoid using logos or brands as your profile picture, as this may appear you are a spam page or trying to sell something to people who become friends with you. Try not to use a picture of your pet or a group shot of you with others, as this could make it hard for someone to know who they are becoming friends with. Your cover image (the large image at the top of your Facebook profile) should also be approachable and personal. It could show a collage of other pictures of you or one bold image that conveys you as a whole. When you fill in your About your page, just keep in mind all of your friends will be reading this information about you. So keep it personal without being so personal it turns anyone off or becomes too much information for the public forum of Facebook.  Putting down your interests, your favorite movies, and your favorite books in your About page will give someone a better sense of what you enjoy and whether you would be a good fit as a friend, but keep in mind these are considered "extras" on your profile and are not required to set up a Facebook profile page. Be aware that Facebook sells your information to marketing groups and third parties, who will then use the data to better market products to you. So be cautious of how much information you share about yourself on Facebook. If you are already using other platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr, you can link your Facebook account to your other accounts so when you post a photo or comment on any of these platforms, it appears on Facebook. This will allow you to share more with your friends and reach multiple audiences with one post.  Use this feature with caution, as you don’t want to become guilty of oversharing one post or clogging up your...

Your Nespresso machine will need to be descaled about every three months. If you drink a lot of coffee, you should descale it every 300 capsules. Some models have a light on the machine that blinks when you need to descale. If you connect your machine to the online app, the app will tell you when your machine needs to be descaled. Before you begin, make sure you empty the capsule container of all capsules. You should also empty the drip tray. Replace them back into the machine. Then, turn the machine on. Depending on your model, you will press different buttons to start the descaling mode. The buttons will blink, and the machine will beep when you can let go. This lets you know you are in the descaling mode.  The VertuoLine has one button you need to hold for around seven seconds. The Pixie, Inissia, and CitiZ models have two flashing buttons you hold at the same time for approximately three seconds. For the Prodigio, press the three coffee buttons at the same time. Hold them for three to six seconds. Pour one container of Nespresso descaling solution into the water tank. Then, add half a liter of water. Close the slider and place a container large enough to catch all of the water from the water tank under the coffee outlet. You can buy the descaling solution from the Nespresso website. If you don’t want to buy a commercial descaling solution, you can make your own. Run the homemade solution through the machine just like commercial solution. Before using a homemade solution, make sure to check the instruction manual or call the manufacturer to make sure it is safe.  You can make a solution with citric acid. Use 1 part citric acid to 20 parts water. You can also use lemon juice or vinegar. Mix equal parts of either liquid with equal parts water. If you use citric acid or lemon juice, rinse the machine twice before making coffee. If you use vinegar, run five rinse cycles. Press any of the blinking coffee buttons. This begins descaling your machine. The machine will run the water through the machine and expel...

Your PCP can talk to you about your symptoms and help you find a local provider for a substance abuse evaluation. In many cases, attempting to taper off of drugs and alcohol on your own can be dangerous and life-threatening and should not be attempted outside of a detox facility or without the supervision of a doctor. Your PCP may be able to give you an assessment or direct you to someone else who can. Assessment is your first step toward treatment. It determines if detox is needed and what treatment plan will work best for you. You’ll meet with an addiction professional like a counselor, doctor or nurse who specializes in substance abuse. You’ll answer questions about your current use, health, past addiction treatment and medical history. A physical exam may also be a part of the evaluation.  Contact your health insurance. Tell them you need to find a local provider for a substance abuse evaluation. Ask your insurance about your benefit coverage and costs. Contact the provider and schedule an appointment. Contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) administration if you don’t have insurance. SAMHSA provides referrals for addictions and mental health treatment, including substance abuse evaluations. They can also help you find low cost and state-funded options: http://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline. Detox is different from treatment. Detox is the first step before you can begin treatment. It’s the process of weaning or tapering from alcohol or drugs so your body can function without these substances. Detox takes days or weeks.  The detox program will vary based on the type of addiction. Alcohol and many drug addictions, like heroin, require medically supervised detox since they cause severe physical withdrawal when stopped. For medically supervised detox, medications are used to control withdrawal symptoms. Your vitals, like your pulse and breathing, are closely monitored. You’ll either stay at a facility or detox at home until you are fully weaned and physically stable. The...

Your USB flash drive should plug into one of the rectangular USB ports on your computer's housing. Flash drives only fit one way, so don't force the drive if it doesn't fit. The USB flash drive should be at least 8 gigabytes in space so that it can accommodate most operating system installation files. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This will search your computer for the Command Prompt program. It's a black box at the top of the Start window. This will prompt a drop-down menu.  If your mouse doesn't have a right-click button, click the right side of the mouse, or use two fingers to click the mouse. If your computer uses a trackpad instead of a mouse, use two fingers to tap the trackpad or press the bottom-right side of the trackpad. It's in the drop-down menu. This will confirm your decision and open Command Prompt. Type in diskpart and then press ↵ Enter to do so. You may be prompted to confirm this decision before proceeding. Type list disk into Command Prompt, then press ↵ Enter. Look for your flash drive's name, letter, or size in gigabytes to identify it.  If you don't know which one is your flash drive, unplug your flash drive, run the "disk list" command, plug back in your flash drive, run the "disk list" command yet again, and figure out which disk was absent the first time that you ran the "disk list" command. The flash drive is usually the bottom disk in this menu.

Your ability to recall dreams vividly will improve considerably if you're falling asleep and waking up at the same times roughly each day. It can be tough to make a solid routine work against a busy life schedule, but it will help boost the potential of your REM cycles. Dreaming occurs during the REM cycle of sleeping. Melatonin is widely recognized as an ingredient that promotes healthy sleep and vivid dreaming. Melatonin supplements are commonly recommended as a way for people to get better sleep if it's something they struggle with. It's recommended you take one half an hour before going to bed each night in order to ensure your best possible sleep. Melatonin can be found naturally in certain foods. Cherries, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and almonds are a few of the go-to foods with a high melatonin supply. The act itself of contemplating dreaming may encourage dreams once you fall asleep. The simple act of reading this wikiHow article may set the stage for dreaming. Having thoughts of vivid and lucid dreaming can help you think about the consciousness and experience of dreaming. This is a big help if you're trying to dream lucidly. As a general rule, the most vivid dreams you have will be lucid. This is not because lucid dreams are naturally more vivid, but because lucid dreams are more easily remembered. Throughout the day, you should take a minute to stop and ask yourself whether you're dreaming or not. This is called a reality check, and making a habit of this thought can help increase lucidity while you dream. Make a point of doing it at different times throughout a day before you intend on dreaming. There's a lot to suggest that the best sleeps for dreaming are the ones where there's little to no distraction in your surroundings. This includes making sure your sleeping space is relatively dark, and hopefully seeing to it that you won't be woken up by anything unexpected. Of course, it is difficult to ensure anything while you're asleep for several hours at a stretch, but doing what you can to make...

Your aim is to create an alluring hourglass silhouette. Shirtdresses and belts that cinch tight at your waist are a great way to achieve this look.  Think about pin-ups from the past whose style your admire. Ava Gardner, Jayne Mansfield, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Kim Novak, Jane Russel, Betty Gable, and Marilyn Monroe all provide stunning examples. Even as you use famous pin-ups as a guide, try to create your own unique look. This is what will make the experience of dressing like a pin-up most fun and fulfilling. Look for genuine vintage items from this era, including pencil skirts, A-line skirts, Cuban heeled stockings, round toed pumps, wiggle dresses, swing dresses, petticoats, 3/4 sleeve cardigans, cropped cardigans with full sleeves, and high waist capri pants, to name a few.  If you don’t live near any good vintage stores, you can search for vintage goods online. You can also buy vintage reproduction clothing online from numerous companies such as Bettie Page Clothing and Stop Staring!  True vintage clothing was produced in the era you are trying to portray, whereas retro clothing looks like it’s from that era but was made more recently. Retro is a copy of the real thing produced in mass market, whereas vintage is the real thing. If your clothing was made before the eighties, check for the “Made in the USA” seal or whatever country you are situated in. On the tag there should be a union name and ID number. A tag that says “Made in China” is a sign that the article of clothing is not vintage. Clothing made of linen, cotton, and other natural fabrics are more likely to be genuine vintage items. Instead of buying clothes, you could invest in fabrics with vintage patterns and make your own clothes. This will require time and some level of skill, however, and so is better left to those with experience in sewing. Some items from your closet, like sweaters with boat necks and v-necks were popular in the 40’s and 50’s; you can add these to your pin-up wardrobe. Or try...

Your air fryer requires a two to three minute preheating period. This allows the machine time to achieve the temperature necessary to begin cooking your bacon. For most models, simply set the air fryer to the desired temperature and wait  at least two minutes before adding your bacon to the air fryer’s cooking basket. Operate your air fryer only on level, heat-resistant surfaces. Further, ensure that there is at least a hand’s length worth of open space behind the air fryer’s exhaust. You’ll need to apply a thin coat of oil directly to the bacon you place in the air fryer’s cooking basket. The best way to do so is by using a spray bottle filled with your favored cooking oil. Spray the bottom of the cooking basket as well, to reduce sticking, and spray. For crispy bacon, spray on only a single thin layer of oil.  Opt for a hand-pumped plastic spray bottle and fill it with liquid oil, such as olive oil. While you can buy spray-able oil, the aerosol can break down some of the non-stick surfaces you use in your kitchen (including the one on your air fryer basket). Avoid overcrowding the air fryer’s cooking basket by limiting the amount you put in. Since basket sizes differ, there is no standard amount that is ideal.  The important thing is that air is allowed to circulate around the bacon and come into contact with almost all of the bacon’s surface.  As such, avoid piles of bacon that cause some pieces to be covered up. Proper air circulation shortens cooking time and ensures optimal cooking results, particularly in terms of crispiness. While the air fryer is cooking your bacon, pause it once to twice to remove the basket and shake it. This will adjust the bacon’s position in the basket, and help ensure that it is evenly cooked. To ensure that each piece if adequately adjusted during cooking, you can also use tongs to simply flip individual slices of bacon. Length of cook time and recommend cooking temperature will vary from model to model. As such, use the chart of other information source that came with your...

Разогрейте мультипечь, прежде чем готовить бекон. Необходимо распылить масло на поверхность бекона. Оставьте пространство между ломтиками бекона. Встряхивайте корзину в процессе приготовления бекона. Следуйте приведенным в инструкции к мультипечи советам.


Your analysis generally depends on whether your approach is qualitative, quantitative, or a mixture of the two. If you're using a quantitative approach, you may be using statistical analysis. With a qualitative approach, state what theoretical perspective or philosophy you're using. Depending on your research questions, you may be mixing quantitative and qualitative analysis – just as you could potentially use both approaches. For example, you might do a statistical analysis, and then interpret those statistics through a particular theoretical lens. Ultimately, your overall methodology should be capable of producing answers to your research questions. If it isn't well-suited, you need to either adjust your methodology or reframe your research question. For example, suppose you're researching the effect of college education on family farms in rural America. While you could do interviews of college-educated people who grew up on a family farm, that would not give you a picture of the overall effect. A quantitative approach and statistical analysis would give you a bigger picture. Relate your methodology back to your original research questions and present a proposed outcome based on your analysis. Describe specifically what your findings will reveal about your research questions.  If in answering your research questions, your findings have raised other questions that may require further research, state these briefly. You can also include here any limitations to your methods, or questions that weren't answered through your research. You may be able to transfer your findings to other contexts, or generalize them to broader populations. Transferability can be difficult in social science research, particularly if you used a qualitative approach. Generalization is more typically used in quantitative research. If you have a well-designed sample, you can statistically apply your results to the larger population your sample belongs to.

TL;DR in Russian:

Опишите, как вы анализировали результаты. Объясните, как ваш анализ соответствует целям вашего исследования. Определите, насколько хорошо ваш анализ отвечает на вопросы вашего исследования. Оцените, можно ли переносить или обобщать ваши результаты.


Your anchor should be a hook on a plate with a hole in it. Use a screwdriver attachment on your drill. Drive the screw through the hole in the plate, and into the hole you predrilled into the wall. Some anchors also include a washer to put between the screw and the anchor plate. Other anchors are basically screws with hooks at the end. In this case, just turn the hook’s screw into the hole you predrilled in the wall. If you used anchors with plates, take a screwdriver and give each screw a few turns by hand just to double check it’s secure. The screw should not jiggle. If you used screw-in hook anchors, make sure that the hook on each is facing upright and is tightly attached to the wall. If you are hanging something like a framed picture, it may have a wire that you can catch on the anchor hooks. Other objects will have a hole, hanger, eyelet, or something else that you can fit the end of the anchor hook into. If your object has nothing to help it hang on a hook, take a trip to the hardware store. You should be able to find a variety of hangers you can attach to your object.

Your appearance makes an impression on everyone you meet.  This rule applies to any girl that you want to impress.  You don't have to wear a suit to make an impression, but you will have to wear clean and sensible outfits.  Try evaluating what your clothes say about you to judge if you are making a good impression.  Make sure your clothes are clean when you wear them. Check to make sure your clothes fit well.  Clothes that are too big or small may give you an odd appearance. Make sure your clothes match or present an image that you think is appropriate. A huge part of impressing a girl you like is by practicing good personal hygiene.  Chances are, if your hygiene is lacking, you may actually make the wrong impression when being around the girl that has your interest.  Keep some of these basic hygiene tips in mind to help you make a good impression:  Take a shower everyday. Wear deodorant. Brush your teeth at least once a day. Keep your fingernails trimmed. Your body language says a lot, without you ever having to speak a word.  Take a careful look at your body language when you are near the girl you like.  Make sure to keep these tips in mind when you are trying to say the right thing with your body language:  Don't hunch your shoulders down or forward.  Have them naturally pushed back. Stand up straight at all times, keeping your head up. Avoid slouching whenever sitting down. If you are nervous or guarded when you are near a girl you like, you're body language might demonstrate those feelings.  Any kind of “closed off” body language will prevent people from approaching you.  Taking an open and relaxed stance when standing or sitting can help show your confidence and send the message that you are open to interacting with her.  Keep some of these tips in mind when trying to maintain open body language.  Make sure you stand so that you are directly facing her. Keep your arms down, at your sides. Avoid crossing your arms or otherwise blocking the other person off.
