The safest, smartest, and quickest way to improve your sex life is to communicate openly with your partner. Tell your partner what turns you on and what turns you off. Discuss your limitations and your ambitions for your sex life. Tell your partner anything they need to know to make your sex life as pleasurable as possible.  Don’t focus on what your partner is doing wrong, instead, focus on expressing your desires. Use “I” statements, such as “I like it when you touch me like this” or “I’d feel more comfortable waiting for that.”  If you find it difficult or embarrassing to talk about sex with your partner, do simultaneous free-writes and share your writing with each other, or turn off the lights and talking in the dark. Talking builds trust and intimacy. While it may seem hotter to cut to the chase, talking in the early stages of your relationship will help you avoid awkwardness and build the trust necessary to facilitate a healthy sex life. Don't do anything you're not ready for. Talk about it first. When talking about sex, we often get sheepish and fall somewhat short of talking as specifically as would be helpful. Try to be as specific as possible so your partner doesn't have to work to decode your messages.  Instead of saying, "I wish we'd have more sex" or "I wish we'd have different sex," tell your partner how much you love being with them and how you want to work on building your intimacy with each other. Then discuss specific things you'd like to do together, or specific things you'd like to change. Don’t fake anything. This damages trust and intimacy in the relationship. Instead, make your desires known and be honest of what is and isn’t working. Both men and women experience physical changes that can affect their sex lives.  If menopause is changing your libido, say something. It’s better than your partner thinking you are uninterested. If you are experiencing erectile dysfunction, talk with your partner and your doctor. The condition is often easily treated and is nothing to be embarrassed about....

TL;DR in Russian:

Объясните партнеру, что вам нравится. Говорите прямо. Честно говорите об изменениях в своем организме. Делайте то, что нравится обоим. Расскажите друг другу о своих фантазиях. Старайтесь чаще сближаться с партнером.


The salt acts as a gentle abrasive, helping you to easily scrape up the rust without damaging the pan. Pour enough to lightly cover the area you need to rub off with a thin coating. If the salt gets really rusty, dispose of it and add fresh salt. Pan seasoning is especially important for cast-iron pans, as it protects them and makes them easier to cook and clean in the future.  To season the pan, pour 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 ml) of vegetable oil or melted shortening into the pan, then spread it around using a paper towel to coat the entire pan. If the pan is oven-safe, bake it for 1 hour at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.  If the pan is not oven-safe, heat the oil in the pan on the stovetop until it smokes. Once cool, rub the oil into the pan using another clean paper towel.

TL;DR in Russian:

The same basic preparations will apply to all types of retinal surgeries. Do not eat or drink anything for between two to eight hours before the surgery (you doctor will advise you), and use eyedrops to dilate the pupils (if your doctor instructs you to do so). In this procedure, your doctor will suture a piece of silicone rubber or sponge, called a buckle, to the white of your eye, which is called the sclera. The material sutured to your eye will create a slight indentation in the wall of the eye, thereby relieving some of the strain at the site of the detachment.  In cases where there are several tears/holes in the retina or when the detachment is extensive and severe, your surgeon may recommend a scleral buckle that wraps around the entire eye.  In most cases, the buckle is usually left on the eye permanently.  Your doctor may use laser or freezing treatment to create scar tissue around the retina. This will help seal the seal the retinal tear/break to the wall of the eye, preventing fluid from detaching the retina. After a scleral buckling, your doctor will send you home with specific instructions on how to care for your eye and ensure a full recovery. Follow your doctor's instructions, and ask her questions if you're uncertain of what to do. Common post-operative instructions include:  Taking acetaminophen to relieve pain  Using prescription eye drops or ointments Your doctor may give you an eye box to help your eye heal. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling any eye equipment.  Soak cotton balls in the prescribed eyewash solution.  Lay the cotton balls across your eyelid for a few seconds to loosen any crust that may have formed on your eye.  Gently wipe from the inside of your eye across to the outside. If you are treating both eyes, use separate cotton balls for each eye to avoid the risk of infection. Your doctor may give you an eye patch and an eye shield to help your eye heal. How long you wear these will depend on your doctor's recommendations.  You will most likely have...

The same hormones that make birth control pills effective can be distributed to the body by other means. If you don't like taking pills every day, consider these options:  Depo-Provera, or the birth control shot. This shot is administered in the arm once every three months. The shot is very effective at preventing pregnancy, but it has been reported that side effects are possible.     The birth control patch. The patch is usually placed on the arm, back or thigh. It distributes hormones through the skin and has to be replaced every few weeks.     The birth control ring. The ring is inserted into the vagina once a month. It releases hormones to prevent pregnancy from occurring.     The birth control implant. A small rod is inserted in the arm, and it releases hormones to prevent pregnancy for up to three years. It must be inserted and removed by a health care provider.    The IUD is a small metal device inserted in the uterus by a health care provider. One type of IUD works by releasing hormones, and another type is made of copper, which affects the mobility of sperm and stops them from fertilizing the egg.  IUDs are extremely effective and last up to 12 years, although they can cost from $500 to $1,000. If you're concerned about disrupting your menstrual cycle, consider the copper IUD, which doesn't interfere with your hormones or cause hormonal birth control-related side effects.

The same things we fear also incite feelings of exhilaration and even passion. That's why people enjoy extreme sports, horror movies, and swimming with sharks on vacation. Try to re-frame your fear in a positive light and acknowledge the thrill it can offer. When you start seeing fear as a source of energy, you might even embrace its role in your life. Fear can have incredible power in life-or-death situations. People report the sensation of time slowing down, senses becoming highly acute, and having the ability to instinctively know what to do. While other communication within our bodies takes about half a second to reach awareness, the fear system works much more quickly. Fear also deadens our awareness of pain.  Understanding the positives of fear can help you use it to your advantage. For instance, many people experience stage fright, yet the fear leading up to a performance can help you be in the moment and focus intensely on what is before you. Learn to acknowledge the fear and then direct it to where it will be most beneficial Most people experience fear prior to an event, yet experience no fear when in the middle of a situation. Remember that fear heightens your senses so that you have the ability to perform efficiently and powerfully. Fear can be used as a tool to help us identify problems and solve them effectively. It's a guidepost, a red flag that warns us when something needs attention. Once the discomfort of the initial wave of fear passes, examine it more closely to see what you can learn.  When you feel fear of something unfamiliar, take it as a sign that you need to get to know a person or situation better. If you feel a flash of fear about an upcoming deadline or event, make it an opportunity to make a plan of action to get fully prepared, whether that means getting started on a paper, rehearsing for a play or practicing a speech.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте свой страх источником мотивации. Ослабьте силу страха. Начните видеть в страхе возможности.


The same way men splash their face with cool water to close pores after a typical morning shave, lowering the water temperature just before getting out will feel soothing, and it will close chest pores. Don’t rub the area dry since that can lead to additional irritation. Instead use a fresh towel to pat the area dry. Before dressing apply a lotion or moisturizer for your skin type and allow it to dry. Chafing from shirts can lead to more irritation or even ingrown hairs, but a moisturizer will help reduce this risk. Adding the process to your shower regimen once or twice a week will keep the area smooth and stubble free. It will also negate the need to use a trimmer beforehand since you'll be maintaining the hair at such a short length.

TL;DR in Russian:

Уменьшите температуру воды. Промакните тело чистым полотенцем. Нанесите на грудь увлажняющий лосьон или крем. Повторите бритье при необходимости.


The samples are the most important part of your portfolio since they show what kind of work you are capable of.  Instead of overwhelming the portfolio by including a full listing of your past work, only include 10 to 20 samples of your highest quality pieces. Demonstrate depth with your samples, not just breadth. The kind of samples you have will be different depending on what field you are in. For example, a model needs a selection of quality photographs of themselves, while a writer needs a variety of articles or writing samples. Your original works are too valuable to risk losing as your portfolio gets passed around. Take photographs of three-dimensional works and two-dimensional works and photocopy any writing samples. Take your pictures using a tripod, so that your camera doesn’t shake, and light it from the side, so there isn’t a glare on the object. If you’re including an article published in a magazine, newspaper, or journal, photocopy the volume's front cover and table of contents as well as your article. If any articles have been written about your accomplishments, include copies of those clippings in your portfolio. National journals and large newspapers are the most impressive sources, but you should still include articles written by local news sources, academic institutes, and Internet sources.  If you were in the military, provide a record of your service. Include information about any awards, badges, or ranks you earned during your time in the military. If you just graduated or are applying to schools, you might want to include a transcript of your past academic work. Include awards or certificates if they are relevant. List professional and academic sources who would be willing to promote your work and skills if asked. Choose wisely and ask permission from each source before listing them as a reference. Include full names, job positions, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers. Also briefly state how that reference is connected to you.  Limit your references to a single page. You...

The saucepan should be 2-3 quarts large. Cook the onion and stir it occasionally with a wooden spoon until it appears translucent. Stir the rice to mix it in with the onions. Let the rice toast in the pan for a minute or two -- it will absorb the flavor from the onions. Heat it to a gentle simmer. Crumble 1/4 tbsp. of saffron threads into the broth. Then, stir the rice until it has absorbed the broth. Keep adding broth to the rice and stirring; this cooking technique helps bring the starch out of the rice to combine with the broth for the creamy texture typical of a classic risotto. Add about 3/4 of the broth to the risotto. Then, start tasting the risotto between additions of broth to see if it's done.  When it's done, the individual rice grains should still be distinguishable, and their texture should be slightly firm (al dente), but not at all crunchy. Add 1 tbsp. of butter, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of cooked string beans, 1/4 cup of cooked peas, and 1/4 cup of cooked Portobello mushrooms to the risotto. Add salt and pepper to taste. The risotto should be rich, creamy, fragrant, and a beautiful golden color. Serve the risotto in wide, shallow serving bowls with additional Parmesan cheese grated on top.

The scent of authentic perfumes is complex and intricately constructed. While smell can be a difficulty measure of authenticity, those who know the perfume's scent can often sniff out a counterfeit. Authentic perfumes will have three layers of scents that reveal themselves over time, consisting of top, middle and base notes. This complexity ensures that the scent is varied and multidimensional, allowing the scent to change from the initial application until complete skin absorption. Fake perfumes will have one dimensional fragrance layer and it will often have an "off" smell after only a short time of wearing it. Authentic perfumes have had a lot of work put into creating the different notes in the perfume. They will use a mixture of scents derived from natural products and synthetic products. Cheap perfumes tend to be completely synthetic and therefore lack the complexity of layered perfumes created with natural ingredients. An imitation perfume will initially smell similar but you will usually find that the authentic perfumes outlast their imitators in terms of longevity and effectiveness, which makes them better value in the long run. Opened bottles of authentic perfumes should retain their scents from six to 18 months. Citrus-based scents generally deteriorate around the six month mark, whereas floral-based scents should maintain until 18 months. Cheap opened bottles of perfume will lose their scents in a matter of weeks or a couple months. When researching the perfume you’re about to purchase, it’s important to know whether it’s supposed to have a ‘single note,’ or a complex scent. Single note perfumes contain only the top notes, so a lack of middle and base notes doesn’t always indicate a counterfeit. When checking the authenticity of a single note perfume, pay attention to whether the scent smells strange and if the scent matches up with the description listed on the manufacturer’s website. You should only test out the perfume once you’ve examined the packaging and analyzed the scent beforehand. Be...

The scheduling considerations mentioned above will require constant maintenance if you are to keep your relationships with both boyfriends happy. This is a factor regardless of whether your relationships are open or secretive.  Consider how you'll devote the time necessary to keeping up with your boyfriends' lives and needs. Doing so requires both time management and mental management to ensure you're keeping the details of each relationship straight. Compartmentalizing each relationship may be useful in keeping the two relationships straight. One boyfriend, for example, might be your running partner and tennis buddy, while the other is your go-to guy for homework sessions or coffee shop conversations. If your relationships are open, this question may be moot. If you are keeping the relationships secret, you'll need contingency plans.  You may be able to camouflage the nature of your relationship by treating each boyfriend as a "friend." Consider the likely response from each boyfriend. Will they become confused or upset by your sudden lack of affection? Be aware that you may quickly become entangled in a complex web of lies and evasions.  Quick thinking will be necessary and your moral discomfort will likely grow even more complex. Which boyfriend will accompany you to events such as weddings, the company holiday party, or other social events? The context in which you know each boyfriend may help answer some of these questions naturally, but in other cases you may find you need to choose.  If you aren't prepared for a group of friends or relatives to identify one partner as your official "boyfriend," you may consider attending functions alone. Think carefully about your circle of relationships. Will selecting one partner to attend a given social function commit you to include him in the future? Will you run into trouble if overlapping social circles see you romantically linked with two different people? Even if you refrain from mentioning either relationship online, chances are high that you'll find yourself...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обдумайте стратегию отношений с каждым из парней. Заранее решите, что вы будете делать, если вдруг, гуляя с одним из своих парней, случайно столкнетесь с другим.

The school dance is a great place to ask the girl out. Just wait for a slow song, ask her to dance, and ask her if she wants to be your girlfriend at the end of the song. You’ll know from looking into her eyes while you’re dancing whether or not you have a chance. You can also use the dance as an excuse to ask her out, beforehand. Though this is more bold and puts the pressure on a bit, it gives you a great excuse to ask the girl out! The vibe at the dance is guaranteed to be a bit more romantic, say, than the vibe in your school cafeteria during lunch, so if you ask her out at the dance, there’s a better chance she’ll have romance on her mind. The downside: it may be next to impossible to get her away from her friends. If you think you’re a Casanova when it comes to the written word, then write her a cute, short note that tells her that you like her and that you want her to be your girlfriend. This is a pleasant way to surprise her and to take off some of the pressure of having a real conversation; just make sure you know that she’ll get the note, whether you’re giving it to her during class or sticking it in her textbook or locker. Tell her to get back to you via note. Whatever happens, there’s nothing to be nervous about because she won’t have to be there to see your reaction! This should be more of a last resort. If you really feel shy but want to ask the girl out and have a brave friend or two who have enough charisma to talk to the girl (without charming her too much, of course), then you can have one of your buddies go up to the girl and ask her if she wants to go out with you. Just make sure they know exactly what to say and that they don’t end up making you look like a wimp or misrepresent your intentions. If you really want a trusted friend to ask her out for you, then you may want to rehearse what he’s going to say. Yeah, this will feel ridiculous, but you’ll be grateful that you’ve prepped your friend for the big move! You can also ask the girl over the phone if you’re more of a phone guy. Call...

The scoop of baking soda should be one heaping scoop. Since baking is low in pH, it will help neutralize the acidity of the corrosion. Use hot water rather than cold to speed up the process. Avoid using household "cleaners" like coke, coffee, or grease as they can run onto various parts of your engine. This may cause unnecessary corrosion on metal parts, soften rubber connections, and damage your asphalt or concrete driveway. You may also choose to pour on small amounts onto the cables. Gently brush around the connections, thoroughly getting around the base as well as cleaning the build up on the connections. Continue until the battery stops reacting to the baking soda mixture. Don't use a wire brush or reamers as they can potentially remove necessary materials. If you remove too much material, the clamp may not tighten as it should, and you will have  loose connection. Use small amounts of water. Ensure that all the materials and mixtures have been rinsed from the battery and connection. Avoid getting the mixture onto the battery compartment itself. Thoroughly dry off the liquids to avoid future issues with corrosion. You may also put petroleum jelly or grease on the bases of the ports to prevent future corrosion. Connect the positive first then the negative. Use a wrench to tighten the connections sufficiently onto the ports. Place the red rubber boot over the positive terminal.

The screen should turn off. The screen should turn on, allowing you to view its display. You may have to hold your phone at a natural, vertical angle, rather than horizontally. Raise to Wake will not unlock your phone for you. Depending on your phone's settings, you may also be able to check weather, your current commute time, and/or local news from the swipe-down menu at the top of your phone's screen. Being able to silence your phone's alarm without touching the screen will prove useful when performing actions like cooking or showering. This will minimize the amount of concentration you have to devote to your phone, allowing you to focus on the road. Not having to touch or click any buttons to view your lock screen will decrease wear and tear on your iPhone's buttons.

The scumbling method allows artists to develop texture and value in their works. To execute this blending method, select two or more colors of oil pastels. Choose one color and begin creating controlled scribble marks across your canvas. Repeat this process with the remaining colors you selected, overlapping the colors at various, random points. Continue to layer the scribbled colors until you achieve the desired look and hue. When executing the cross-hatching method, artists blend colors together by drawing overlapping lines in two distinct directions.  Lightly sketch the area you wish to cross hatch. Select two colors of oil pastels, preferably a light and a dark shade. Determine the two directions of your lines. Assign a color to each direction. Draw a series of lines with one color going in one direction. Draw a second series of lines with the second color going in a different direction. Continue to fill in the area with lines until you achieve the desired effect. In the sgraffito method, artists create a design or add fine details by scratching through layers of oil pastels.  Apply multiple layers of oil pastels in various contrasting colors to your canvas. Often, the last layer is a dark color.  Select a pointed object of your choice, such as: a paper clip, a comb, or a wooden stylus. Use this sharp item to scratch away the layers of oil pastels, leaving behind an intricate design.

The seasoning process requires you to basically "bake" a layer of fat into the pan so that it stays there semi-permanently. The fat protects the iron surface from oxidation (rusting).To start, warm up your oven. You can proceed to the next few steps while you wait. Generally, the easiest source of fat to work with for this purpose is cooling oil (e.g., canola oil, vegetable oil, peanut oil, etc.). Pour a small amount (no more than about one tablespoon) into the skillet and spread it around with a paper towel, coating the entire surface. Many chefs like to coat the underside and handle as well, though this is less important. Olive oil isn't the best for this task — it has a lower smoke point than most other cooking oils, which means that it's more likely to give off smoke and may possibly set off your smoke alarm. You don't have to use oil — most types of cooking fat will work well. A few ideas are provided below:  One easy solution is to use bacon grease. Cook the bacon in the cast iron pan, drain the excess grease into a pan, and use a paper towel to coat the pan evenly with the remainder. Lard or shortening also work well. For these fats, use a slightly lower temperature. 275-300 F (135-149 C) usually works well. Place the pan directly on a rack in the middle of the oven upside down (so the cooking surface faces the bottom of the oven. Put a baking sheet underneath to catch drips of excess oil. Let the pan "bake" like this for about one hour. After an hour, turn off the oven but don't open it. Let it gradually cool — this may take an extra hour or two. When the pan is cool enough to handle safely (use an oven mitt if you are unsure), take it out of the oven. Congratulations — it's now seasoned. It should resist rusting and stick to food less in the future. If you wish, you can partially re-season your pan whenever you wish by adding a little extra fat after the next few times you cook. Just apply oil, lard, etc. with a paper towel as above, covering the surface evenly with a thin layer. This isn't...

The second criterion for a schizophrenia diagnosis is “social/occupational dysfunction.” This dysfunction must be present for a significant portion of the time since you began displaying symptoms. Many conditions can cause dysfunction in your work and social life, so even if you’re experiencing trouble in one or more of these areas, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have schizophrenia. One or more areas of “major” functioning must be impaired:  Work/Academics Interpersonal relations Self-care One of the criteria for “dysfunction” is whether you are able to fulfill the requirements of your job. If you’re a full-time student, your ability to perform in school could be considered. Consider the following:  Do you feel psychologically able to leave the house to go to work or school? Have you had a hard time coming in on time or showing up regularly? Are there parts of your work that you now feel afraid to do? If you are a student, is your academic performance suffering? This should be considered in light of what is normal for you. If you’ve always been a reserved person, not wanting to socialize isn’t necessarily a sign of dysfunction. However, if you’ve noticed your behaviors and motivations change to things that aren’t “normal” for you, this could be something to speak with a mental health professional about.  Do you enjoy the same relationships you used to? Do you enjoy socializing in the way you used to? Do you feel like talking with others significantly less than you used to? Do you feel afraid or intensely worried about interacting with others? Do you feel like you're being persecuted by others, or that others have ulterior motives toward you? “Self-care” refers to your ability to take care of yourself and remain healthy and functional. This should also be judged within the realm of “normal for you.” So, for example, if you usually work out 2-3 times per week but haven’t felt like going in 3 months, this could be a sign of disturbance. The following behaviors are also signs of lapsed self-care:  You have...

The second method of unlocking Extinction mode is pretty straightforward. You just have to play any multiplayer mode online and reach level 5. You can play Team Deathmatch and Domination to speed up the process of ranking up. After reaching level 5, you can now go back to the main menu and access Extinction mode.

TL;DR in Russian:

Достигните 5-го уровня. Вернитесь в главное меню.


The second trimester of pregnancy is generally thought to be more comfortable than the first trimester.  Symptoms of morning sickness and fatigue may be starting to fade, but there are new changes happening in your body. You may find that your abdomen is beginning to expand with the continued growth of your baby. As your baby grows, your body will change its posture to accommodate the new weight. There are certain ways to help relieve back pain that you might experience. This includes:  Wearing shoes with no heel. Wearing heeled shoes may affect the curvature of your spine so try to avoid them. Walk with your pelvis tilted forward to give yourself a wider base of support. Apply a warm compress to your back. Squat rather than bend when you have to pick up objects. When your uterus increases in weight, it can put a lot of pressure on your veins, which makes it harder for blood to reach your lower extremities. When this occurs, your veins may become painful, inflamed and engorged.  Resting in Sims’ position is one way to relieve varicose veins.  This is done by lying on your back with both legs raised against a wall or a chair. Avoid crossing your legs while sitting for a long period of time. Walk for 30 minutes each day to promote blood circulation. Eat vitamin C-rich foods to ease your inflamed veins. Great sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits like oranges and lemons.  Green leafy vegetables are also rich sources of vitamin C. During the second trimester, your areola will begin to darken and their diameters will also begin to increase in size.  This happens as your breasts prepare for milk production. Your palms will start to itch during the second trimester.  This condition is more commonly known as palmar erythema. This is a normal occurrence throughout pregnancy and it happens because your estrogen levels are increased. Calamine lotion can be applied on the affected area to soothe the itching. This may happen because there is a chance that your blood pressure will go up around this time. At the same...

TL;DR in Russian:

Что же происходит во втором триместре беременности? Вам нужно изменить свой образ жизни, чтобы справиться с болью в спине. Во время беременности может возникнуть варикозное расширение вен. Ваши молочные железы будут изменяться во время второго триместра, чтобы подготовиться к выработке молока. Ладошки могут начать чесаться. Во время второго триместра беременности могут отекать лодыжки.


The second you notice yourself reaching for your phone to check a text message or opening a webpage unrelated to work, stop and cut the distraction off at the pass. In order to combat the most common distractions, you must be able to recognize when they're stealing your attention away. Practice staying mindful of resisting distractions by repeating a phrase like "be here now" or "this is not what I need to be doing" when you catch your attention drifting. Being vigilant of your mind state can help snap you back to reality.  Many distractions simply have to be ignored. The brain is well-equipped to block out smaller, less intrusive distractions, but with a little practice you can learn to build up your focus and attention like a muscle. Most people lose so much time to extraneous activities because they fail to notice when they're getting distracted, and only become aware of their mistake once the damage has been done. Be disciplined about making yourself start working. Procrastination is a major distraction because it allows you to convince yourself that you’ll be better off performing a task when you feel more prepared. Once you realize that you’ll never get anything done unless you do it now, you won’t feel so tempted to put things off.  Procrastination is a childish mentality. It can cause you to avoid responsibility in favor of feeling good right now. Research has shown that people rarely meet with more success when they put things off until later as opposed to doing them right away. Sometimes you have to remind yourself to actively focus. Many people never truly learn how to stay focused and find it difficult to keep their minds from wandering when there’s work to be done. Try to shut off your own mental distractions so that you can zero in on checking items off your to-do list. It’s not enough to simply know that you need to focus; you have to apply yourself to the action you’re performing in the moment. It can help to remember that the best way to get everything done is to put all your effort toward...

Замечайте моменты, когда вы отвлекаетесь. Не мешкайте. Используйте намеренную концентрацию. Удалитесь от источника отвлечений.


The secretary is usually responsible for taking meeting minutes, but if this is not the case for your organization, you will need to appoint someone to record the contents of the AGM.  Keep a record of any decisions made at the AGM, especially those regarding elections and changes to the organization's constitution. It can also be a wise idea to record the names and contact information of the attendees. You can do this by instructing the attendees to sign in as they arrive. Open the AGM with a formal greeting. During this greeting, make sure that the meeting agenda and annual reports are being distributed to the attendees.  Declare the meeting to be open. As you do so, state the organization's full name and the current AGM number (the twenty-second Annual General Meeting, the thirty-nine Annual General Meeting, etc.). Welcome all members and name any special visitors. If any officer or significant member is absent, you may want to briefly state the names of those absent after your welcome message.  You may invite other present members to make apologies on behalf of additional absent attendees, as well. Make a formal motion to accept the apologies. Verify that everyone has received a copy of the meetings from last year's AGM. Review these minutes and, when all issues are addressed, move to formally accept the minutes.  If there are any amendments or corrections that need to be made, they must be made before the minutes are accepted. After voting to accept the minutes, the chairperson will need to sign off on them. Topics that are related to the minutes from your previous AGM should be addressed immediately after those minutes are accepted. Discuss the matters as needed. This is usually a time to present concerns and observations, so formal motions may not be necessary. You will need to discuss the president's or chair-person's report, the secretary's report, and the treasurer's report.  Read and discuss each report one by one. After each report has been reviewed thoroughly, you should make a formal motion to...

The section of your brain that processes scent is close to the area that controls your emotions. As a result, happy smells can quickly and easily influence your mood.  Rub a few drops of essential oils onto your wrists. Lavender is calming, lemon and orange scents are great for a quick energy boost, and frankincense will help you instantly feel more at ease. You can also use an essential oil diffuser in your home or office. Black tea has been shown to reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and promote feeling of relaxation. Even the ritual of preparing a cup of tea can be soothing. Furthermore, tea helps to keep you hydrated, which is great for both body and mind. One study shows that chewing gum can reduce anxiety and improve alertness. This method could not be simpler! Keep some gum in your bag or your desk at work. When you find yourself feeling stressed, bust out some gum and chew until you feel a lift in your mood. Select a gum that is low in sugar, as this will be better for your teeth. Nature sounds (such as a babbling brook, a crackling fire, or bugs and birds chirping in the woods) can almost instantly reduce your stress level. Look for a cd, app, or podcast that has nature sounds you enjoy. Listen to these as stress prevention, or turn them on when you begin to feel overwhelmed. Music can help to relieve stress, reduce pain, and enhance your overall quality of life. Try listening to some music when you are feeling stressed to quickly and easily shift your mood.  Create a stress-free playlist by selecting upbeat songs that you enjoy. Anytime you feel stress creeping up, pull up your playlist and hit play.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ароматерапия. Выпейте чаю. Пожуйте жевательную резинку. Прислушайтесь к звукам природы. Слушайте музыку.


The sections should be roughly the same size. There should be two sections in the front and two in back. Use hair ties or plastic clips to keep them in place. Bleach kits come with bleaching powder and a cream developer. These need to be mixed together in a specific ratio before you apply the bleach to your hair. Your package's instructions should inform you of the precise ratio your kit uses. Usually, the ratio is one to three of powder to developer. Wear gloves when handling bleach. Working through one section at a time, brush on the bleach strand by strand. Start at the ends of these strands and work your way upward, but stop about 1 inch (2.54 cm) from the roots. Your roots will be bleached last as the heat from your head causes them to bleach more quickly. You have to work very quickly to ensure your hair bleaches evenly. Therefore, get someone to help you during this part of the process. After you've applied bleach to all your sections, use the brush that came with your kit to dab bleach on your roots. Flip your hair using a rat comb to get both the front and back of the roots. Start at the back of your head and work your way forward. Be very careful not to get any product on your scalp. Get as close to your scalp as possible, but do not touch the scalp itself. Read the instructions thoroughly to determine how long you should leave the bleach on. Place a plastic bag over your head while you wait. This protects your home from bleach and helps the bleach develop faster. Check your hair every few minutes to see how the color is progressing. Bleach stops working after about an hour, so leaving your bleach in longer than this will only damage your hair, rather than lighten it further. Make sure rinse all the bleach out of your hair. In the shower, keep rinsing your hair, using your fingers to work out the bleach, until the water runs clean. After rinsing out the bleach, shampoo and condition your hair as you normally would. If your bleach kit came with shampoo or conditioner, use these products rather than...

TL;DR in Russian:

Разделите волосы на четыре части. Приготовьте осветлитель в соответствии с указаниями на упаковке. Нанесите осветлитель по всей длине волос, за исключением корней. Нанесите осветлитель на корни волос. Подождите рекомендуемое время. Смойте осветлитель слегка теплой водой. Помойте голову шампунем и нанесите на волосы кондиционер.


The seeds inside a papaya contain carpaine, benzylisothiocyanate, benzylglucosinolate, glucotropacolin, benzylthiourea, hentriacontane, sitosterol, caricin and an enzyme called myrosin, all of which help to kill parasites. They also help the intestines to contract and reduce inflammation caused by the worms.  You can eat the seeds whole or dry them and make them into a powder that you can eat with yogurt and honey. This fruit contains a digestive enzyme called bromelain that specifically combats tapeworms by removing the free radicals the worm produces. The acidity of the pineapple also decreases the amount of glucose available to the worm, which causes it to starve and die. Take one banana, mush it up, and mix it with one teaspoon of lemon juice. Bananas act like a natural laxative, which helps to remove worms. The oligosaccharides present in bananas stimulate the intestine to contract, while lemon has antibacterial,  antiprotozoal properties that help kill parasites. You can drink five glasses of pomegranate juice a day to cleanse your intestines and rid yourself of parasites. Each glass should contain about eight ounces of pomegranate juice. Pumpkin seeds contain a compound called as cucurbitacins which paralyze the worms in your body by attacking their nervous system, which causes them to stop growing and eventually die. These seeds also contain several other worm-killing nutrients like flavonoids, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids. You should eat at least 10 to 15 pumpkin seeds a day. If you decide to use this method, you should take the castor oil on an empty stomach for a greater effect. The oil induces diarrhea which helps to flush the worms from your symptom. You should talk to your doctor before using this method, as some worms, like hookworms, attach to your intestines and having diarrhea could make them dig in harder and more painfully. Some herbs and extracts also have worm-killing properties. You can increase the amount of these herbs that you use in your cooking, or take supplements. The herbs...

The sell-by date may also appear as "not to be sold after" or "EXP." This date is, at most, 30 days from the day the eggs were packaged. Eggs that are kept refrigerated and are not broken should be good for at least 1 month beyond the sell-by date.  The sell-by date appears as month/day in the United States. So eggs that must be sold by March 15th are labeled 03/15. "Sell-by" refers to the last date the eggs should be available for the public to purchase. Eggs should be pulled from the shelf after this date. It does not mean the eggs are bad or rotten after this date. The best-by date may also be labeled as "use by," "use before," or "best before." The best-by label must be within 45 days of the date the eggs were packaged. Try to use these eggs within two weeks after the best-by date. "Best-by" refers to the period of time eggs are at their peak freshness, with the best texture, flavor, and binding and thickening properties. It does not mean the eggs are bad or rotten after this date. Sell-by or best-by dates are not required by federal law (some states require them, other states forbid them), but all eggs must be labeled with the date they were packaged. This date usually appears as a 3 digit code using the Julian date calendar. This means eggs packaged on January 1st would be labeled 001, eggs packaged on October 15th would be labeled 288, December 31st 365.  Look for the Julian date on the end of the carton. You'll see the plant code (a letter P followed by numbers) indicated where the eggs were packaged, and beside it you should find the Julian code.  The European Union also requires that eggs are marked with a pack date. Even if eggs are sold loose and not in a marked carton, the consumer should have access to that information. Once an egg has cooled in your refrigerator, it is important to keep it at the same temperature. A cool egg in a warmer environment begins to sweat, which can encourage bacteria to grow on the outside of the egg. Because the egg shell is porous, it is sometimes possible for the...

The semicircle needs to be twice as wide as you want your final hat to be. Something around 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) would be ideal; this will give you a cute hat that's about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) tall.  Alternatively, use a bowl or plate to trace a full circle. Cut the circle out, then cut the circle in half. Use red sparkly felt for a fancier touch! Wrap a measuring tape around the base of your cone to get the circumference, then cut a strip of white fur according to that measurement. Make the fur strip about 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) wide.  You can find white fur in the kids' crafting section of a craft store. If the fur is too long, cut it shorter with scissors. If you can't find white fur, you can use white felt instead.

The sensation of holding onto something very cold can distract you from any negative emotions you are feeling and help you to respond in an unemotional way. Try sticking an ice cube in a plastic baggie and putting it into your pocket before you have to have an uncomfortable conversation. For example, if you have to tell a friend that you are upset about something she said, you could reach into your pocket and feel the ice cube to distract yourself from getting too emotional. Flavors can distract us from our emotions as well. Try popping a strong mint in your mouth whenever you are in an upsetting situation. For example, you could keep a couple of mints in your mouth before you have to meet with your boss. If you start to feel nervous, you could pop the mint in your mouth and focus on the flavor to take your mind off of the situation. Music is another great way to distract yourself from negative emotions. Try listening to some of your favorite upbeat, energizing music the next time you feel down and see how it changes your mood. For example, if you are feeling sad at the gym and you want to stop feeling that way, you could play something upbeat and happy on your mp3 player. Smells also have the power to distract us from our emotions. Try paying attention to the smell of the air if you find yourself in a negative situation and you want to detach yourself. For example, you might focus on the smell of brewing coffee if you are having an argument with a parent or your significant other.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подержите кубик льда. Съешьте мятную конфету. Послушайте музыку. Понюхайте что-то приятное.


The sense of smell is very sensitive to the aromas of food and other fragrances. Make something sweet in the morning and the nose will arouse the body to discover what smells so delicious.  Prepare scented tea or strong coffee in the morning. A whiff is sure to motivate them to get out of bed and enjoy a tasty cup-o-Joe or herbal tea. Fill the room with one of their favorite scents. Try citrus smells or one of a variety of popular aerosols used for refreshing the smell of a room. Bake or fry a sweet or bitter dish. Few people can resist the smell of home cooked food. Deliver breakfast in bed. They might not get out of bed, but they will certainly wake up. Whether you need to gently shake the bed, body, pillow, or have natural sunlight hit their face, the sense of touch is another good way to help a deaf or hard of hearing person get up in the morning.  A spouse, parent, child, or roommate can carry out this task if they are reliable. They should take seriously waking up a deaf/hard of hearing friend or family member. Try flashing the bedroom lights on and off quickly to get their attention. Pull back the drapes to let sunlight hit them in the face or on their body. If all else fails, give them a light tap on the arm or gently shake their shoulder until they wake up. Remember, just because you are performing this task as a favor, don’t be rude, insulting, or impatient with your responsibility. Refrain from splashing cold water on their face, whipping off their covers, or pushing them out of the bed. It will only cause resentment. You might be busy getting ready in the morning or perhaps your schedules don’t match up and you are unavailable to help out in the morning. In this case, consider getting a trained hearing dog to perform the duty of wake-up call. Hearing dogs are trained to assist deaf or hard of hearing people by physically alerting their partner to common sounds like an alarm clock.  When the alarm sounds, the hearing dog will nudge their body until they wake up and shut off the alarm. Hearing dogs...

The sensitive suede on your Ugg slippers should be protected. You can purchase a spray from UGG directly or you can use other protective sprays intended for use on suede or sheepskin items. Spray the solution on the slippers and let them dry completely – usually for one day – before wearing them again. Be sure to spray the slippers outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Since Ugg slippers can be slightly difficult to clean at times, it's important to take proper care when storing them when you aren't wearing them. Try to keep your Ugg slippers in a clean place away from any dust or dirt accumulation – like in a closet or drawer. Because of the suede material, you don't want to keep them in a damp place that could ruin the fabric over time. Keep your Ugg slippers in a dry place instead of somewhere where moisture could reach them – like the bathroom or garage. Ugg slippers are mainly intended for indoor use around the house. Even though they have a hard sole, you should try to avoid wearing them outside – especially in areas that are particularly dirty. Try not to track your Ugg slippers through mud or other inclement weather that could damage or permanently stain your slippers.

TL;DR in Russian:

Опрыскайте мокасины защитным спреем. Храните мокасины в чистом и сухом месте. Не носите мокасины в грязных местах.


The set up establishes the premise of the story by providing your audience with the necessary background information and details. Your set up should be as tight and to the point as possible. It should focus on one theme or idea, as you want the story to be brief, but entertaining and easy to understand. The punchline or laugh line is the heart of the story. It should lead the audience in one direction and then surprise them by suddenly escalating into a more interesting climax or going off into a completely different direction than was suggested by the set up.  A twist in the story, or element of surprise, usually makes for a good punchline. Determining your punchline will help you pair down any extra details and tailor the set up so it works up to a big laugh. Read your first draft of the story out loud to determine which points are funny and which points in the set up could be tightened or edited out.  Remove any extraneous words and only use adjectives when necessary. If you do use adjectives, make them interesting and attention grabbing; don’t use “big” when you could use “hulking” “gigantic” or “astronomical”. Watch your body language as you tell the story. You should be relaxed, friendly, and appear confident.  If you are telling a story with different characters, alter and vary your voice to match a character as they talk. Avoid being monotone or mumbling in a low voice. Try to tell the story like you are telling it to a good friend. Don’t be too formal or stiff. It’s important to appear like you believe in the story you are telling. Make it your own and make it believable to your listener. Pause before the punchline to signal to the listener that they should pay attention. This will ensure they hear the punchline and hopefully, be ready for a big laugh. Once you have practiced the story a few times, you may start to get comfortable with the material and start to add tags, or additional punchlines.  Your tags may build on the original punchline, or they may twist the punchline further into a new,...

The shaft of a boot refers to the portion of the boot that rises above your foot and over your calf. When you only see a measurement for “boot shaft,” it is safe to assume that the measurement refers to the height of the shaft and not the circumference. Place one end of a tape measure at the middle of the boot arch, directly above the boot sole. Extend the tape measure vertically along the outside of the boot until you reach the very top of the shaft. This length is your boot shaft height.  Note that in the United States, boot shaft sizes are described in inches even when the shaft extends beyond a foot in height. When a manufacturer lists the shaft height of a boot, the heel height is not usually included in that measurement. There is still some risk that some shops will include heel height as part of the shaft height, though, which can throw this measurement off completely. When buying a pair of boots you cannot measure yourself, try to verify whether or not heel height is left out of the shaft measurement. If you are not able to measure the boot, you can estimate how tall a boot shaft might be simply by noting the style of boot.  For a size 8.5 women's boot: Ankle boot shafts range between 3 and 8 inches (7.6 and 20.3 cm). Mid-calf boot shafts range between 8.25 and 13.25 inches (21 and 33.7 cm). Knee-high boot shafts can be 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) or taller.   Boot shaft estimations can vary depending on the size of the boot. A size smaller than 8.5 will have a slightly shorter shaft, while a larger size will have a slightly larger shaft. The change in shaft size is usually about equal to the change in foot length when you compare your size against an 8.5 sized boot. Typically, heel height is not included as part of the boot shaft height. Since this separate measurement does play a part in the overall height of the boot, though, it can still be worth knowing.  Measure the heel height by extending a tape measure from the bottom of the heel to the point at which it meets the sole of the boot. Place the tape...

The shape of each cell is different, so depending on which type of cell you are building, you will need different materials. You will need to understand what each cell part looks like and what job it performs for the plant cell. Generally, plant cells are larger than animal cells and are rectangular or cube shaped.  There are several good images of the parts of a plant cell online.  The main distinguishing feature of a plant cell is that unlike an animal cell, it is surrounded by a thick, rigid cell wall.  Plant cells contain chloroplasts that produce food and energy for the cell while animal cells do not. Unlike plant cells, animal cells do not have a cell wall. Animal cells can be various sizes and may have irregular shapes. Most of the cells range in size between 1 and 100 micrometers and are only visible with the help of a microscope.  There are also several good images of the parts of an animal cell online.  Animal cells have smaller vacuoles that store food and nutrients while plant cells have 1 large vacuole that takes up most of the cell's mass.

The shims will help hold the panel in place, and they will ensure an even placement of the panel in the space. The shims should be about 1/2” (1.27cm) wide and long enough to easily remove once the first round of mortar sets. Install the shims at 3” (7.62cm) intervals, moving away from the corners. You can mix batches about five or six trowel amounts at a time. It should ideally have a consistency close to bread dough, which will stop the panel from floating in the space as its sets. This should just be a thin layer between the shims to help form a base before placing the window. The panel will be heavy, so have assistance on hand to place the panel. Reset any shims that move while setting the panel. Assure the window is plumb and square before continuing. Use a trowel and pack the gaps around the shims at the bottom of the panel. Allow it to set, hard to the touch, before mortaring the sides. From inside, scrape away any clumps of mortar with your trowel. Assure that the mortar is firmly set before applying pressure to the window.  Slide all of your shims out and finish mortaring the gaps once the mortar has set. Allow the mortar to set for two hours and then smooth it out with a striking tool. Clean any excess mortar off the panel with a sponge while it is still wet. Applying mortar at the top gap of the window can produce downward pressure as it sets that can compress and crack the glass. Let the mortar set for a full twenty-hour hours, then fill the entire gap with 100% silicone caulking.

The shingles vaccine is approved for adults over the age of 50 and recommended strongly for individuals over the age of 60. This is because, the older you get, the greater your risk of contracting shingles. The vaccine is recommended even if you are not sure whether or not you have previously had chickenpox.  The vaccine is not 100% effective at preventing shingles; however, it does greatly diminish your chances of getting it, despite not being a guarantee. A further benefit of the shingles vaccine is that, in the chance that you do still get shingles, the illness will be much less severe and will most likely be without complications.  People that should not get the shingles vaccination include those with weakened immune systems, those suffering from cancer,  people with HIV and AIDS, as well as pregnant women.  If you have had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic neomycin, then you should not get the vaccine. One of the most worrisome complications of shingles, particularly for those over 60 years old, is the risk of the "postherpetic neuralgia" complication. This is when the pain associated with the shingles rash persists long after the rash itself has disappeared. This occurs in 10-15% of people who contract shingles, and can be a devastating complication greatly affecting one's quality of life. Fortunately, the vaccine makes the risk of this complication extremely low, even if you do still develop shingles. This is yet another reason to prioritize receiving the shingles vaccine. Being in the presence of the chickenpox virus again is actually a hidden blessing because it once again boosts your immunity to VZV, which in turn works to prevent shingles. Although it is not advisable to seek out people with chickenpox, if you happen to be around someone with it consider it a bonus when it comes to your own shingles immunity.  On the other hand, if you have never caught chickenpox in your life, you will not want to be around people with chickenpox as you will catch it. Being around people with chickenpox only...

The shock of discovering an affair brings with it a range of emotions, from anger and jealousy to shame and embarrassment. When emotions are rampant, it's difficult to think clearly. Look for outside help—someone to talk to who can help you to begin to heal.  Feelings that are overwhelming begin to diminish if you’re able to speak about them to someone who cares and who knows how to listen. A therapist can offer an objective perspective and a calming environment for talking out your problems.  A therapist has education and experience to help them guide you through the first days that follow the discovery of an affair. Speak to family or friends, too. Choose listeners who will remain calm and listen and not feed the flames of emotion you’re already struggling to handle. While it’s generally accepted that affairs are symptomatic of problems in a relationship, there may be multiple reasons why your partner had an affair.  One of the major reasons for infidelity is opportunity. Sometimes an affair isn’t planned. People sometimes “stumble” into affairs, rather than plan them. Many people engage in affairs because they want to see if they’re desirable outside of the relationship. Affairs could also be a symptom of another problem, like alcohol abuse or sex addiction. It might be tempting,  because laying the blame on yourself makes the problem easier to control; theoretically, you could change your behavior and you prevent another affair. However, the problem, at the very least, is the responsibility of both partners. Blaming yourself might offer temporary hope, but it won't resolve the problem.  Don’t absolve your partner of accountability for the affair by thinking that you should love your partner unconditionally, or put their happiness before your own. Resist diminishing the affair as a “little mistake.”Don't chide yourself for overreacting. It’s true that the affair was probably a symptom of problems in your relationship.  And it might be true that you contributed to the problems that led to the affair.  But...

The shoelace length depends on the number of eyelet pairs on your Converse shoes.  You will need two different shoelaces in separate colors for this lacing style, but the two laces should be equal in length.  You should select flat shoelaces that are fairly thin. Each eyelet will need to hold two layers of shoelace, so it is important that the shoelaces you choose are thin and flat, regardless of length.  This lacing technique can be used on Converse with an odd number of eyelet pairs, but it will look most symmetrical with shoes that have an even number of pairs. If using two pairs of eyelets, choose shoelace 28 inches (71 cm) long. If using three pairs of eyelets, choose shoelaces 32 inches (81 cm) in length. If using four pairs of eyelets, choose shoelaces 36 inches (92 cm) long. If using five pairs of eyelets, use shoelaces 40 inches (102 cm) in length. If using six pairs of eyelets, use shoelaces 44 inches (113 cm) long. If using seven pairs of eyelets, use shoelaces 48 inches (123 cm) in length. If using eight pairs of eyelets, choose laces 53 inches (134 cm) long.

The shorter the bottles are, the more stable your timer will be. For a more realistic hourglass, try to use bulb-shaped bottles, such as Method or Orangina. Make sure that you take the labels off. Use soap and warm water to clean off any residue. Wipe the bottles clean with rubbing alcohol afterwards. Draw a ring of glue around the top the first cap. Be careful not to get any glue in the middle, or you won't be able to make the hole. Place the second cap on top of the glue. Make sure that the tops of both caps are touching. You should only see the underside/inside of each cap. Use a strong glue, such as super glue or epoxy glue. Regular school glue or hot glue will not be strong enough. You can use an electric drill to do this, or a hammer and nail. Experiment with different hole sizes. The larger the hole is, the faster the sand will flow through. The smaller the hole is, the slower the sand will flow through.  If you are a child, ask an adult to help you with this step. Some caps have a plastic disk inside them. This can make drilling the hole difficult. Use a flat screwdriver to pop this disk out before you drill the hole. The only difference is that now, you will have a second cap on top of your bottle. Don't worry about this one just yet. If you use damp sand, the sand will clump up in your bottles. Even if you bought your sand from the store, it might be a good idea to spread it out on a baking sheet, and leave it out in the sun for 1 hour.  Try using colored sand. You can find it in the floral section of an arts and crafts shop. Add some fine scrapbooking glitter to your sand to make it look more magical. Plain sand and gold glitter will look great together. White sand and iridescent glitter will also look pretty. If you don't care how long your sand timer takes, fill the bottle two-thirds of the way with sand. If you want your timer to run for a specific amount of time, then time yourself filling the bottle using a stopwatch. For example: If you want your sand timer to last 1 minute, fill the bottle...

Найдите две чистые пластиковые бутылки одинакового размера и формы. Снимите с бутылок крышки, склейте их вместе и подождите, пока клей высохнет. Проделайте отверстие в центре склеенных вместе крышек. Наденьте крышку на первую бутылку и закрутите ее, как вы обычно делаете это. Проверьте, чтобы используемый вами песок был сухим. Возьмите вторую бутылку и засыпьте в нее песок. Накрутите пустую бутылку на бутылку с песком. Испытайте песочные часы. Если понадобятся какие-либо изменения, проделайте их после того, как весь песок пересыплется в нижнюю бутылку. Обмотайте место стыка бутылок скотчем. Используйте песочные часы.


The shorter the distance between the two anchor points, the more stable the slackline. As the slackline gets longer, a few things happen:  The tension in the line increases, making dismounts more dangerous due to the extra force; The height of the line off the ground increases to allow for greater sag when weighted; It requires more force to tighten it, which can be difficult with some tightening systems. Starting barefoot is a good idea. Using bare feet will allow you to feel the line better and find your balance more quickly. Step on the line so that it runs from between your big toe and second toe back to the middle of the heel. As you improve, practice turning your feet and standing sideways, with your shoulders parallel to the line. Once you improve (or if the landing is not safe for bare feet), you may want to switch to shoes since they provide greater protection when attempting tricks and landing. The line is also lower to the ground in the middle once weighted, reducing the height of the falls.  Practice from the same place each time since the slackline oscillates differently at different distances from the anchors. The wobbles are faster and smaller near the anchors and slower and larger near the middle. But wherever you start, it is going to wobble a lot. This is natural; everyone wobbles the first time. If you are relaxed, your foot will be less shaky on the line. This will help you find and keep your balance. Resist the temptation to look straight down at your feet on the line. Looking down at the wobbling line will simply make you wobble as well. Look ahead instead of down at the line.  With one smooth, balanced motion stand up on that leg.  Bending your leg lowers your center of gravity slightly, and allows you to more easily find your balance and absorb the movements of the line. Sometimes you will twist and turn your body into all sorts of positions to keep your balance. Once you have caught your balance slowly move your body back to center with your arms up and out, knee(s) bent, head up, and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните с короткой стропы для слэклайна. Поставьте одну ногу вдоль стропы, по середине ленты для слэклайн. Можете заходить на стропу для слэклайн в любой точке, но, как правило, безопаснее начинать с середины, так как в этом случае вы находитесь  дальше от препятствий, которые можно задеть при падении. Сделайте несколько глубоких вдохов и найдите равновесие. Пристально сфокусируйтесь на одной точке, например, на опорной станции. Широко разведите слегка согнутые руки и сохраняйте вертикальное положение. Переведите вес на опорную ногу на стропе. Балансируйте на одной ноге, используя руки и другую ногу, чтобы сохранить равновесие. Согните ногу, которая находится на стропе для слэклайна. Продолжайте балансировать с помощью рук  и свободной ноги, чтобы сохранить равновесие. Повторяйте эти шаги, пока не сможете удерживать баланс  не менее 15 секунд. Тренируйтесь на другой ноге. После того как вы успешно сделали первый шаг, продолжайте тренировки!


The shutter is the device in a camera which obstructs light to the sensor. When the camera fires, the shutter briefly opens to expose the camera sensor to a controlled amount of light. The shutter then closes, obstructing the light again. Shutter speed is the time the shutter is open. This means it is the length of time a camera's image sensor sees the scene. This is usually a small fraction of a second. Shutter speeds are measured in fractions of seconds. These times range from 1/8000 to several seconds long. Speeds of 1/60 or faster are the most commonly used speeds.  Anything below 1/60 may result in camera shake, which causes blurring on the picture. You will need to use a tripod if you use slower speeds.  Typically only the denominator is marked on the camera. For example, "125" means 1/125 second. Some cameras allow you to take photos at a shutter speed in full seconds, such as 1, 2, or 10 seconds. This is used for low light photography and a lot of movement. To know which shutter speed you should use in a situation, you first have to know what a fast and slow shutter speed is. Generally, 1/60 is the base shutter speed that marks the boundary between fast and slow.  Denominators larger than 60, like 1/125, 1/500, or 1/2000, are fast shutter speeds. Denominators below 60, like 1/30 and 1/15 are slow. Shutter speeds that are full seconds long, like 1 or 2 seconds, are very slow shutter speeds. Most cameras have a shutter priority setting. This mode will allow you to choose the shutter speed based on the picture you want to take while the camera matches the aperture so you get the best exposure.  On most cameras, the shutter priority setting is labeled "S." On some cameras, like Canons, this setting is labeled "Tv." You can shoot in aperture mode and let the camera choose the shutter speed while you set the lens aperture. In manual mode, labeled "M," you set the shutter speed and aperture. The focal length of your lens can cause camera shake. Because of this, you need to take the focal length into...

The shy guy may not have a lot of personal confidence, or may need engaging activities to help bring him out of his shell. In either case, try to find an activity or environment that you’ll both feel comfortable and at-ease in. Go to a volunteering event together, or have lunch at a café nearby. Make sure that you’ll enjoy the date too! If the guy loves mini golf but you can’t stand it, find a different activity. Just because the guy you’re interested in is shy doesn’t mean that he’s a social recluse. So, throw a small party and invite a few people you know he’ll be comfortable with. Make it fun by trying some ice-breaking games and a bottle of wine (if you’re all over 21).  Or, invite the guy to meet a few of your friends at a coffee shop or an art museum. If the guy likes movies, invite him to see a movie with you and a couple friends. Fancy, extravagant dates can lead to high-pressure, uncomfortable situations, especially for a shy guy. The good news is that there are plenty of ways for the 2 of you to spend time together doing things that aren’t stereotypical dates. Take hikes or go cycling together, do a fun bar-hop on a weekday evening, or go sledding in winter.  For example, maybe going out to public places is not his thing. Suggest a movie at your house or something else that’s low-key. You could also suggest getting drive-through dinner and parking someplace quiet to eat and talk. During your time together, listen to what he says so that you can get a feel for what he's comfortable doing. For example, if he says loud places make him uncomfortable, then you'll know not to invite him to a concert.

TL;DR in Russian:

Предложите занятие, которое, как вы знаете, ему понравится. Проведите время в компании. Сделайте первые несколько встреч непринужденными.


The side arm in your inventory, pistols can be equipped with a second pistol to make dual pistols. Pistols have infinite ammo and have 15 bullets per magazine; when you dual wield pistols, you have 30 bullets per magazine. You will use pistols if you are knocked down by the zombie hordes.  Always pick up the second to dual-wield when you find it. More bullets to fire. Crouching increases accuracy, to the point where the pistol becomes effective at considerable range. Using the pistol where possible allows you to save your precious primary ammunition for when you really need it. There are 2 types of shotguns. The first is a basic pump action 12-gauge. It holds 8 shells total, and has to be pumped after every shot. The second shotgun is a 20-gauge Riot Shotgun with 10 shell loading capacity. It automatically loads another shell into the chamber after firing, and is very quickly ready to fire again. Excellent for close range combat, especially in swarm situations. The Uzi has a 50 clip load with a fast rate of fire, it is good for swarm situations but you can easily be knocked down when out of ammo. The M16 is faster and stronger and should always be found if you prefer automatics. Dully noted though, both these weapons consume ammo very quickly, so make your shots count. These are similar to the Heavy's minigun in TF2, the minigun can take down swarms of zombies in rapid succession when used. Keep your firing rate broken up though; continuous fire will overheat the turret, and then you are open for attack and are likely to be killed quickly by the Horde. This weapon, with 15 slot clip, can kill normal zombies in one hit to the head. The rifle has a zoom-in feature and preforms superbly in long range combat. With this weapon you also have the ability to shoot through more than one zombie in a successive line.  For example, if there are three zombies standing in a row, one shot with the rifle will kill them all. Also, you are able to shoot and kill zombies through doors, some walls and other items that are...

The side kick is a great way to burn calories and work up a little sweat and it can be fun too! This is a great kick to add to your kickboxing exercise routine. You can use a punching bag, a partner holding a pad or just shadow kick without anything at all. Your legs should be slightly spread at a bit more than shoulders width with one leg in front and the other in back. Your kicking leg will be in front. Keep your fists up in front of your face.  You should practice this with both legs so try it in both directions. After practicing with one leg, switch your stance and practice with the other leg also. Your hands should be in front of your chin and mouth to protect your face. You should be sideways to your target. This bent knee creates the power for your shot so bring it up as high as possible. Straighten your knee directly forward into contact. You should make contact with the blade, or outside edge, of your foot because it will be stronger and safer for your kick.  Make sure you are extending straight forward into contact. This means you will have to be turning your body and hips simultaneously. Think of the kick as a stomping motion to give you extra power and strength. Do not lock out your knee, or extend it completely, or else you could hurt yourself. You will want to maintain a slight bend even when making contact. You must rotate your non-kicking foot at the same time to create extra power and strength in your kick. It should end up facing almost completely backwards when you make contact with your target.  The non-kicking foot should rotate about 180 degrees so that it faces backwards when you make contact. This rotation is very important so make sure it is moving correctly during your kick. It will feel like you are giving your back to the target because you are rotating your hips into the kick. Bend your knee again after contact to bring your knee back to your chest. Bring your foot down to the ground directly in front of you.  Your non-kicking foot will have to rotate back to its original position...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте боковой удар для аэробных тренировок в кикбоксинге. Займите боксерскую стойку. Поднимите переднее колено к груди. Выпрямите колено. Поверните опорную ногу. Согните колено и опустите ногу.


The side kick is one of the most powerful strikes in martial arts and will also impress grading panels in competitions. It is also relatively safe from counterattacks because your body is turned sideways. This side kick is the most commonly used version in Taekwondo and should be learned before advancing to other side kicks. You should practice your side kick step by step to ensure you are using the correct technique. Hold on to a chair or wall to help you balance while learning the motion of your kicking foot. Your ankle should be flexed and the blade of your foot should be ready to strike. The blade of your foot is the outside edge, which you will use to strike your target. When you lift your knee you should be pointing your heel at the target.  Although you would normally turn your body sideways during the side kick, for now you should start sideways to practice the motion of the kicking foot only. This is a straight kick so you must have your heel pointing at the target before straightening your leg. Straighten your leg and bring your foot to the body height of the opponent. You should try to get as much of your sole facing the ground as possible so think of your big toe lifting up and your little toes pointing down.  You will always strike with the blade of your foot for this strike so make sure you remember this. Aim to the body of your opponent. Make sure that your heel is higher than your toes when striking. Bend the knee back to its original position before bringing your leg down to the ground. Now that you have practiced the motion of the kicking foot, you will add the motion of the standing foot. The standing foot is key to your side kick and is extremely important for generating power and maintaining balance. Pay very close attention to the movement of this foot. Start from your normal fighting stance. A common fighting stance is to stand with your left foot in front and right foot in back facing mostly sideways. Your right hand would be by your chin with your left 12-16 inches (30-40 cm) in front...

Направьте колено на цель и полностью его выпрямите. Снова согните колено, а затем поставьте ногу на землю. Поработайте над опорной ногой. Направьте опорную ногу в сторону цели. Поднимая колено бьющей ноги, начните поворачивать опорную ногу. Поверните стопу, чтобы за счет мышц бедер усилить удар. Держите колено все время приподнятым. Вытяните ногу и нанесите удар наружным ребром стопы. Завершите удар и поставьте стопу на землю. Как можно чаще тренируйтесь наносить боковой удар.


The side lengths of a Pythagorean triple are integers that fit the Pythagorean Theorem. These special triangles appear frequently in geometry text books and on standardized tests like the SAT and the GRE.  If you memorize the first 2 Pythagorean triples, in particular, you can save yourself a lot of time on these tests because you can immediately know the hypotenuse of one of these triangles just by looking at the side lengths!   The first Pythagorean triple is 3-4-5 (32 + 42 = 52, 9 + 16 = 25).  When you see a right triangle with legs of length 3 and 4, you can instantly be certain that the hypotenuse will be 5 without having to do any calculations. The ratio of a Pythagorean triple holds true even when the sides are multiplied by another number.  For example a right triangle with legs of length 6 and 8 will have a hypotenuse of 10 (62 + 82 = 102, 36 + 64 = 100).  The same holds true for 9-12-15, and even 1.5-2-2.5.  Try the math and see for yourself! The second Pythagorean triple that commonly appears on tests is 5-12-13 (52 + 122 = 132, 25 + 144 = 169).  Also be on the lookout for multiples like 10-24-26 and 2.5-6-6.5. A 45-45-90 right triangle has angles of 45, 45, and 90 degrees, and is also called an Isosceles Right Triangle.  It occurs frequently on standardized tests, and is a very easy triangle to solve.  The ratio between the sides of this triangle is 1:1:Sqrt(2), which means that the length of the legs are equal, and the length of the hypotenuse is simply the leg length multiplied by the square root of two.  To calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle based on the length of one of the legs, simply multiply the leg length by Sqrt(2). Knowing this ratio comes in especially handy when your test or homework question gives you the side lengths in terms of variables instead of integers. This triangle has angle measurements of 30, 60, and 90 degrees, and occurs when you cut an equilateral triangle in half.  The sides of the 30-60-90 right triangle always maintain the ratio 1:Sqrt(3):2, or x:Sqrt(3)x:2x. ...

The signs of poisoning can depend on the type of poison that was ingested, such as whether it was pesticides, medications, or small batteries. Moreover, the general symptoms of poisoning often present similarly as those of other medical conditions, including seizures, insulin reactions, strokes, and intoxication. One of the best ways to know if poison has been ingested is in fact to look for clues like empty packages or bottles, stains or odors on the person or in a nearby spot, and items out of place or cupboards opened. That said, there are still some physical symptoms you should look out for, including:  Burns and/or redness around the mouth area Breath that smells of chemicals (gasoline or paint thinner) Vomiting or regurgitating Trouble breathing Drowsiness or sleepiness Mental confusion or other altered mental status Look for a rise in the chest area; listen for the sound of air coming in and out of the lungs; feel for air by hovering the side of your face just above the person's mouth.  If the person is not breathing or showing other signs of life, such as moving or coughing, administer CPR, and call emergency services or have someone else nearby call.  If the victim is vomiting, especially if he is unconscious, turn his head to the side to prevent choking. Call 911 or your local emergency number if the person is unconscious and you suspect poisoning or if you suspect a medication, drug or alcohol overdose (or any combination of these). In addition, call 911 immediately if you note the person exhibiting the following severe symptoms of poisoning:  Fainting Difficulty breathing or cessation of breathing Agitation or restless Seizures If you are concerned that you have a potential poisoning case on your hands and the person remains stable and is not showing symptoms, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222 in the United States.

The simple act of writing down your goals makes you much more likely to accomplish them.  Make your goals realistic. If you’ve never run a mile, don’t make your goal to run two miles a day during your first week of exercise. Create a schedule. You want to have set days for your workouts. You should gradually increase the duration and difficulty of your workouts. Cardio workouts are an essential part of burning calories and fat. With cardio, you can burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time.  Choose the type of cardio you enjoy. Some types of cardio include: walking, swimming, running, and jumping rope. Do your cardio for at least twenty minutes at a time for maximum benefit. Add in intervals to your workout. For example, sprint as fast as you can for one minute, then walk for two minutes, then sprint again for one minute, and walking again for two. Gradually add more repetitions to your routine. When doing intervals, using cardio machines like treadmills, stair climbers, ellipticals, rowing machines, and stationary bikes can be helpful because you can keep your speeds consistent. Even though cardio is the quickest way to lose fat and burn calories, strength training is an important part of keeping the weight off and maintaining your muscle mass. As your muscle increases, so will your metabolism.  You don’t need a gym to strength train. Start with bodyweight exercises. These include: sit-ups, crunches, push-ups, planks, burpees, and lunges. Gradually add in weights. Exercises with dumbbells, like curls or tricep extensions, can especially help to target your arms and reduce arm fat. If you do the same exercises every day, you’ll be more likely to burn out and get bored or reach a fitness plateau and have a difficult time losing weight.  Alternate days between cardio and strength training. Switch up your cardio. Maybe go for a long bike ride one day and a run the next time you do cardio. In your strength training, spend one day a week focusing on your core, one day on your upper body, and one day on your...

The simple experiment above showed how to get the salt from water, but what if you want to keep the salt-less water, too? Distillation is the answer. Distillation is the process of heating substances with different boiling points to separate them, then collecting the condensation, which should be relatively "pure". In this case, we'll start by making a few cups of saltwater (see above for directions) and heating it to a boil on the stove. Next, find a lid for your pot (it doesn't necessarily have to fit perfectly). Balance the lid on the pot so that part of it is hanging over the rim. Try to arrange the lid so that the portion hanging off of the edge is the lowest point on the lid. Watch as condensation forms on the bottom of the lid and starts to trickle down it. As the saltwater boils, the water (minus the salt) will turn into steam and rise out of the pot. As it hits the lid, it will cool slightly and form liquid condensation (water) on the underside of the lid. This water doesn't contain salt, so all we need to do is gather it to have salt-free water. Since water runs downhill, the condensation on the underside of the lid will naturally gather at the lowest point of the lid. Once enough condensation gathers here, it will start to form drops and fall. Place a bowl under this spot to catch the drops of distilled water as they fall. If you like, you can also run a long, skinny metal or glass object (like a stirring rod or thermometer) from the bowl up to the lowest point on the lid — the water should run down this object into the bowl. As the salt water in the pot boils, more and more distilled water should gather in your bowl. This water will have most of its salt removed. However, in some situations, a small amount of salt can remain. In this case, you may want to perform a double distillation — boiling the distilled water you gathered in the same way as you boiled the salt water to remove any lingering salt. Technically, this water should be safe to drink. However, unless you're sure that both the lid for...
