Green is a secondary color. To create it, you'll need to combine equal parts of blue and yellow, both of which are primary colors.  "Primary" colors exist on their own and cannot be created by mixing other colors. The three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow, but you only need blue and yellow to create green. "Secondary" colors are colors obtained through the mixture of two primary colors. Green is a secondary color because it's made from blue and yellow. The other two secondary colors are orange and violet. Pure green is a mixture of pure yellow and pure blue, but if you add more blue or more yellow, you'll create a different slightly different hue of green. The two most basic variations are "blue green" and "yellow green," which are also referred to as "tertiary" colors since they fall between secondary and primary colors on the color wheel.  Blue green is made with two parts blue and one part yellow. You could also create it by mixing equal parts of green and blue. Yellow green is made with two parts yellow and one part blue. You could also create it by mixing equal parts of green and yellow. If you want to lighten green without changing its hue, you'll need to add white. If you want to darken green, you need to add black. Light shades are referred to as "tints" and dark shades are called "shades."

TL;DR in Russian:

Смешайте желтый и синий. Чтобы получить оттенки, изменяйте пропорции основных цветов. Изменить яркость цвета помогает добавление черного или белого.


Green onions can be kept in water or soil at room temperature and they will continue to grow. If you want to keep them in water, you will need to find a glass or jar that is tall enough and heavy enough to keep them upright. If you want to keep the onions in soil, you will need a flower pot that will fit on your windowsill and that is at least 6 inches (15 cm) deep. Green onions will last a long time stored in either water or soil on your windowsill. Deciding between the two is based mostly on personal preference. If you are using a glass, put 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of water in it. Like the refrigerator method, this allows the roots of the green onions to absorb water up into the plant. If you are using a pot, put at least 5 inches (13 cm) of potting soil in it. This will allow the green onions to be planted deep enough to stand up on their own. Stick the root end of your green onions into your container of water. If you are keeping your onions in soil, stick the root end into the soil and then press the soil down around them to help the onions stand up. Green onions should be placed 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart when planted in soil. In order for your green onions to continue growing, they need to be exposed to sunlight. Place the container or pot in a sunny spot that gets 6 to 7 hours of light every day.  Having your green onions continue growing is a perk of storing them in the sunlight, as opposed to in the fridge. Green onions stored in the fridge will not continue growing. Typically, a sunny windowsill in your kitchen is a great place to store green onions or scallions. This makes it easy for you to remember to use them when you are cooking a meal. The green onions that you store outside of the refrigerator will need a bit of care. For green onions stored in water, be sure to switch out the water every few days. This will ensure that mold doesn't accumulate on the surface of the water. If your green onions are stored in soil, you should be sure to water the soil when it begins to dry out. Green onions should...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите емкость. Подготовьте емкость. Поместите лук в воду или в почвенную смесь. Поставьте емкость на подоконник или в другое солнечное место. Меняйте воду в стакане или поливайте лук каждые несколько дней. Используйте перья лука, но не трогайте корни.


Green onions often come in plastic bags or are held together in bundles with rubber bands. Take all of the packaging off of the onions so that they are loose. Removing the packaging will allow the green onions to be removed from the bundle more easily and will minimize the chance of the onions being damaged by the rubber bands. In order to keep the green onions firm, they need to be kept in humid conditions. Wrapping them in a slightly damp paper towel will provide the humidity they need without adding so much moisture that they begin to rot. To make sure that the paper towel is not too wet, you can wrap the onions in a dry paper towel and then sprinkle a bit of water over the top of the towel. To keep the moisture around the green onions, the bundle should be placed in a plastic bag. This will ensure that the humidity created by the damp paper towel is not removed by the refrigerator. The plastic bag can be placed loosely around the bundle of onions. It does not need to be completely airtight. The vegetable bin is a good place to keep your green onions. However, because the green onions are in a plastic bag, they can be kept anywhere in your refrigerator. When you use some of your green onions, be sure to re-moisten the paper towel if it has dried out. Then place the bundle back in its plastic bag and put it all back in the fridge.

TL;DR in Russian:

Полностью достаньте лук из упаковки. Оберните лук влажным бумажным полотенцем. Поместите обернутый полотенцем лук в целлофановый пакет. Поместите пакет в холодильник.


Green or red work for this recipe. After you wash the peppers, cut off the tops and carefully gut the peppers to remove any of the seeds on the inside. You can use a spoon or your hands. Just be careful not to cut into the sides of the pepper since you'll need it to stay strong. Place the following ingredients in a large bowl: 1 ½ cups cooked black beans, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¾ cup salsa, ½ cup corn, 1 cup cooked brown rice, 1 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. cumin, and 1/2 lb. ground beef. Stir the ingredients together until you've combined them pretty evenly. Just use a spoon to place the stuffing in each pepper. Leave some room at the top for the ingredients to expand a bit. You don't want to over-stuff those peppers or they might explode. Put the stuffed peppers in the pot with the tops facing up so that they are just touching each other.  This can take a bit less time or a bit longer depending on how long it takes for the peppers to get tender. Sprinkle the peppers with 1/2 cup of chopped chives and serve them with sour cream for an extra kick.

TL;DR in Russian:

Green tea contains caffeine, which is why it can help to boost your energy. But unlike coffee, green tea may also reduce your risk of stroke, high blood pressure, depression, heart attack, and diabetes. Try having a cup of green tea to help boost your energy. Limit yourself to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. Just keep in mind that different types of caffeinated drinks have different levels of caffeine. For example, coffee may have between 60 and 150 milligrams of caffeine per cup, while tea may have between 40 and 80 milligrams. Most people don't drink enough water throughout the day, which can lead to low energy. Aim for eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day, but drink more during a workout. For example, you should have a glass of water before and after workouts. If you exercise for more than 30 minutes, then take small sips of water during your workout. Some natural dietary sugar is important for normal brain function, but too much processed and concentrated sugar (such as a candy bar, cookie, or soda) spikes blood sugar levels. Sugary foods can give you a short energy boost, but then it will be followed by a slump. Some good snack choices include:  Whole wheat toast with nut butter A piece of fruit A handful of carrot sticks and a tablespoon of hummus Eating a nutritious breakfast keeps you alert, kick starts your metabolism, and prevents you from having sugar cravings in the afternoon. Skip sugary donuts and breakfast cereals. Some better choices include:  Whole-grain bread Oatmeal Eggs Fruit Yogurt Peanut butter Eating foods and snacks high in protein can give you a sustained energy boost. Protein-rich foods also provide your body with amino acids to repair and build tissues. Excellent protein sources include:  Poultry Fish Lean red meat Eggs Nuts Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese) Tofu

TL;DR in Russian:

Выпейте чашку зеленого чая. Поддерживайте водный баланс в организме. Отдавайте предпочтение сложным углеводам с низким содержанием сахара и откажитесь от сладких перекусов. Ешьте завтрак каждый день. Выбирайте продукты с высоким содержанием белка.


Green tea contains polyphenols, plant chemicals that help to neutralize the sulphur compounds released in onions and garlic. Antioxidants in green tea are also effective in combating bad breath. Milk has been shown to be effective in the fight against garlic breath. Whole milk, in particular, reduces the concentration of foul-smelling compounds in your mouth. Lemon, lime, grapefruit and cranberry juices, as well as many soft drinks, help to fight the odor-producing alliinase enzyme found in onions and garlic.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте зеленый чай. Выпейте стакан молока. Пейте кислые напитки с уровнем рН ниже 3,6.


Green tea does have some caffeine, but not as much as things like coffee, soda, and energy drinks. If you're feeling the need for an afternoon pick-me-up, opt for a green tea over a coffee or soda. This will keep you going while still reducing your overall intake of caffeine. You can also try switching out coffee for green tea throughout the day. For example, have four cups of green tea instead of four cups of coffee. Once you feel comfortable drinking tea, reduce the amount of tea you consume. Some natural herbs and medicinal mushrooms may help you stay awake. These can usually be bought as supplements at health food stores. You might try: Ginseng Ashwagandha Wild oats seed Rhodiola Holy basil leaf Lion's mane mushroom Caffeine is often a major component in socialization. You may, for example, meet a friend at a coffee house in the afternoon. Look for ways to socialize with others without consuming caffeine.  If you meet your friends at a coffee house, opt for herbal teas, which do not contain caffeine. You can also find places that specialize in herbal tea. Going to a coffee place for tea can be disappointing, as tea-based drinks may not be as flavorful. If a friend wants to meet up at a coffee house, try to find a place that specializes in tea as well. For many people, milky lattes and cappuccinos are a nice indulgence. You may, for example, treat yourself to a pricey latte on the weekends. You can still have these treats on occasion. However, work on altering them to consume less caffeine.  The most obvious way to do this is to order a decaf variety of your go-to coffee shop treat. For the most part, workers should be able to accommodate this request. Many coffee houses can also make "half-caf" beverages, where they use half decaf coffee or espresso with half regular coffee or espresso; this is a great option if you're still cutting back on caffeine. If you can't get a decaf version for whatever reason, see if there are any drinks without added caffeine on the menu. A cup of hot cocoa, for example, can be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте зеленый чай. Попробуйте получать дополнительный заряд энергии с помощью растительных добавок. Избегайте кофеина при общении с другими людьми. Найдите альтернативу своим любимым напиткам с кофеином. Используйте протеиновые батончики или спите днем, чтобы справиться с усталостью в послеобеденное время.


Green, red or yellow peppers are great for stuffing, and each pepper serves one person. Return the remaining peppers to the freezer before they can thaw. Create a stuffing that appeals to you and your family using a mix of ingredients.  Mix cooked ground beef, bread crumbs, an egg, cheddar cheese and salt and pepper for a traditional stuffed pepper taste. Try a can of black beans, cooked brown rice, tomatoes, an egg, cheddar cheese and salt and pepper for a vegetarian option. Stand the peppers on a baking sheet so that their opening is facing up. Spoon equal portions of the stuffing into the peppers, filling them up to the top.  Top with additional bread crumbs, cheese or seasonings.     Place a pat of butter on the top of each pepper for added richness. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. The peppers should be moist and soft.

TL;DR in Russian:

Greet the patient and explain that you are going to help him use the bedpan.  Show patience and compassion, as this can be an uncomfortable and embarrassing situation for the patient.  Assure the patient that you know what to do and will make the experience as pleasant as possible. Explaining this to the patient beforehand can help calm your patient and reduce his fear and uncertainty. Wash your hands thoroughly with hot water and soap. When finished, dry your hands and put on a pair of disposable gloves. Provide the patient with as much privacy as possible, now and throughout the entire procedure.  Close the door and cover the windows with curtains. If the patient shares a room with someone else, draw the curtain separating the two beds. Keep the patient's legs covered with a blanket or sheet until you are ready to position the bedpan. If possible, cover the sheets beneath the patient with a waterproof protector. If you do not have access to a waterproof protector, cover the sheets beneath patient's buttocks with a large, clean bath towel. Fill the bedpan with very warm water. Let the water sit for several minutes, then dump it out and dry off the bedpan.  The heat from the water should transfer to the bedpan itself, warming it up. A warm bedpan will be more comfortable for the patient to use than a cold one. If it is a metal bedpan, make sure it is not too hot. Sift a thin layer of talcum powder over the edge of the bedpan.  The powder will make it easier to slide the bedpan beneath the patient. Only do this if the patient does not have any bedsores or cuts on her buttocks. Do not use talcum powder if the patient has any open wounds. Alternatively, you can place a few squares of toilet paper in the bottom of the bedpan or coat it with a little vegetable oil spray (if you are in a home setting). Any of these practices will make the cleanup process easier. Now that the supplies are ready, instruct the patient to remove clothing from the bottom half of his body.  Assist the patient if he is unable to do this...

TL;DR in Russian:

Объясните процедуру пациенту. Помойте руки и наденьте перчатки. Обеспечьте конфиденциальность. Предохраните простыни. Подогрейте подкладное судно. Присыпьте края судна тальком. Налейте в судно немного воды. Попросите пациента обнажить нижнюю часть туловища.


Greet your special person with a smile, and smile often while you are with her (without faking it). Smiling will not only make you feel happier, but it will make you sound happier and more positive. It will also let her know that you’re happy to see her, and that you’re interested in what she’s saying. Pay attention to what the person has going on in her life, like her hobbies and what she does at work or in school. Take note of people she frequently mentions; these people are probably important to her in one way or another.  Give the person your full attention, don’t play on your phone or computer. Giving someone your full attention makes them feel more heard and appreciated. Some common people are siblings, parents, grandparents, and close friends. She may also mention pets, children, or even classmates and colleagues. Try to learn about these people and their relationship with your special friend. Sometimes it is best to just listen, and not offer solutions. For example: your friend tells you that she’s frustrated with her basketball coach. Say something like, “That does sound really frustrating, I’m sorry you had to go through that.” Avoid saying things like, “I know exactly how that feels”, because chances are you don’t fully understand what she’s going through and it might make her feel bad. Instead, practice empathy by showing kindness and paying attention to the needs the other person expresses. This is a good time to reach back to things you've learned about your friend. Ask her about a specific person or event she mentioned last time you talked. Asking questions will show that you care about what she does and what she loves. Pay attention and try to remember the details of her stories. The next time you talk, ask her how these things are going. For example: You remember that she is very close with her brother, and the last time they hung out was over spring break when they went on a family trip to the beach. Ask her how her brother is doing, and if she has seen him lately. Maybe ask her if she's...

TL;DR in Russian:

Улыбайтесь. Слушайте. Интересуйтесь личной жизнью. Делитесь воспоминаниями. Часто прикасайтесь к человеку.


Grief is an entirely natural reaction to loss, especially the loss of someone we care deeply about.  Not only companionship, but potentially even shared goals for the future are all suddenly lost.  Feeling the pain of these losses in a necessary part of letting go something. Accordingly, the resentment, sadness, relief, fear, and confusion you may feel are actually necessary parts of your recovery.  Share how you're feeling.  Whether with friends or a therapist, it will help to talk about what you're going through.  Keep a journal.  Writing your thoughts is an extremely effective way to help release emotions and center yourself. Know that the pain will subside.  Though you may feel deeply saddened, your heart and mind will eventually begin to move on.  If you don't notice your mood and emotions improving after a while, set up a time to meet with someone who is trained to talk with you about your mental health. . The circumstances of your ex getting married to someone else may leave you feeling shocked and betrayed. You may wonder if you can ever trust anyone again and be reluctant to open yourself up to another relationship. There is work you can do with a therapist or on your own that can help you heal and be willing to trust someone in the future.  Work with a therapist to learn to separate your fears related to this betrayal from future relationships. You can explore what suggests a potential partner is someone you can trust — such as repeatedly following through on their promises and how they react when you allow yourself to be vulnerable. Notice if the person takes responsibility for their mistakes and if they seem invested in understanding your wants, needs, and well-being.  Becoming distrustful after a betrayal limits your social connections with others and may cause you to miss out on other potentially fulfilling relationships. You may feel some pretty heavy emotions for a while. You may even feel used, shamed, or betrayed.  Many people enduring an unexpected separation feel inadequate, or even...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте себе погоревать. Научитесь снова доверять Обработайте негативные мысли. Сосредоточьтесь на вновь обретенной свободе. Будьте честны перед собой. Обратитесь к психологу.


Grief is very, very painful. However, working through this pain is necessary in order to heal and move on from a great loss. Try to resist the urge to shut down, go numb, or pretend like your loved one has not died. Do not deny that something bad has happened to you and that you are hurting. Grieving is healthy: it is not a sign of weakness. While everyone grieves differently, grieving people often have stages of grief in common. The stage theory of grief is not supported by all psychologists, though recent studies show that it effectively captures the experience of most grieving people. If you learn about these stages of grief, you will be prepared for the strong emotions they evoke. Knowing the stages of grief in advance will not eliminate your pain, but it might make you more equipped to face the pain. Note that you might not go through these stages in the typical order. Sometimes grieving people repeat steps, remain in one step for a long time, experience multiple steps all at once, or go through the stages in a completely different order. Sometimes the bereaved are able to move on very quickly with their lives without going through the steps at all. Remember that each individual grieves differently. But identifying the stages of grief can still help you understand your experience. Immediately after your loved one dies, you might feel numb. You might also not be able to believe that your loved one is really gone. These feelings are more common in those who are grieving the loss of someone who died suddenly. Because of this disbelief, you might not be able to cry or show much emotion. This is not a sign that you don't care: indeed, this is a sign that you care very much. Denial can help you get through the early days of your grief by allowing you to plan a funeral, contact other bereaved people, or handle financial matters. Often the memorial service or funeral can help make the death seem real. If you have been preparing for your loved one's death for a long time, you might not experience denial or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите, что скорбь — это нормально. Приготовьтесь пережить пять стадий принятия неизбежного. Приготовьтесь к отрицанию. Не пугайтесь гнева. Примите чувство вины. Приготовьтесь к грусти и депрессии. Постарайтесь принять смерть близкого человека. Не загоняйте себя во временные рамки. Обратитесь за поддержкой к другим скорбящим. Обратитесь за помощью к тем, кто не скорбит. Обратитесь за помощью к специалисту.


Grime that builds up inside drain pipes is the perfect breeding ground for gnats. Use a wire brush or pipe cleaner to scrape away stubborn deposits of organic matter.  After scrubbing the drain, bring a pot of water to a near boil, then pour it down the drain to clear the debris you’ve scraped. Bleach, ammonia, vinegar, and other cleaning products won’t cut through deposits in your drain pipes. If you can’t access your drain pipes with a wire brush, there are foaming products designed to eat away organic matter. Look for a product with "enzymatic" in its name or description at a hardware store. Pour it down the drain according to the label’s instructions, then let it sit overnight.  After letting the cleaner sit, pour near-boiling water down the drain. Foaming products work better than liquid cleaners. If you’re concerned about putting chemicals down your drain, there are eco-friendly, non-toxic enzymatic drain cleaners available. Pouring hot water down your drain every night is the best way to keep your pipes clear. Aside from enzymatic drain cleaners, you should avoid pouring chemicals down your drains.   Bleach, ammonia, vinegar, and other household products can erode pipes, especially older cast iron pipes. Additionally, cleaning products can react with other chemicals in your pipes. A harmful reaction could produce dangerous fumes or pressure strong enough to burst a pipe. Don’t pour insecticide down the drain, as harsh pesticides can have negative environmental impacts.

TL;DR in Russian:

Grip a barbell from below with your palms facing up.  Grip the barbell in such a way that the weights on either end are equidistant from each hand, and place each hand shoulder-width apart from the other.  Lift the bar to your chest using your elbows.  Keep your elbows pinned to your side as you lift.  Sliding your elbows behind your ribs will decrease the amount of work your biceps do. Don’t swing the bar up using the momentum from your hips. Sit at the chest press machine and adjust the seat for your height.  The handles should be situated near the middle or bottom of your pectoral muscles.  Lay your hands on the handles of the machine.  Your shoulder blades should be retracted.  If they are not, adjust the position of the machine’s handles so that they are.  Keeping your head and chest up, press the handles forward, extending through the elbow. Pause briefly when you’ve reached your maximum extension, then return the handles to a position just beyond the starting position in order to keep the tension on. The machine shoulder press is not unlike the chest press, except that instead of pushing forward, you push up.  Grip the handles of the machine, keeping your elbows in line with your torso.  If your elbows are not lined up with your torso, adjust the level of the seat.  Lift the handles as you exhale.  Extend your arms slowly.  When you reach your maximum extension, hold the position briefly, then bring the handles back down to a place just above the starting position. There are many other resistance exercises that could lower your myostatin levels.  For instance, you might want to do squats or lift free weights. Resistance bands are also good and very easy to use at home.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выполняйте сгибания рук со свободным весом или в тренажере для тренировки бицепсов. Используйте тренажер для мышц груди. Тренируйтесь на тренажере для мышц плечей. Попробуйте другие силовые упражнения.


Grip the chin-up bar with your palms facing out and your arms slightly closer than shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be fully extended above you, and your torso should be as straight as possible. Exhale as you pull your body up until your head is level with the bar. Hold this position with your biceps slightly squeezed, and then exhale as you lower yourself slowly back to your starting position.  If you don’t have the strength to do this on your own, ask a spotter to support you by holding your legs. Repeat this for 5 sets of 2 to 3 reps. Rest your right knee on a workout bench and bend at the waist until your upper body is parallel to the floor, then place your right hand on the bench. Use your left hand to pick up a dumbbell from the floor and hold it with your palm facing your torso, your arm extended, and your back straight. Exhale as you slowly lift the dumbbell, bending your arm at the elbow and keeping your upper arm near your torso. Squeeze the back muscles when the dumbbell reaches your chest. Inhale as you lower the dumbbell back to the floor. Repeat the move for 3 set of 8 to 10 reps on each side of your body. Sit on the edge of a workout bench with your legs together and two dumbbells placed slightly behind your legs. Bend at the waist, keeping your back straight and your palms facing each other, and reach for the dumbbells. Keep your arms bent slightly at the elbows and exhale as you lift the dumbbells out to the side until your arms are parallel to the floor. Hold the dumbbells in position for 1 second and then lower them slowly while inhaling. Repeat this for 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps. To really get definition in your back and melt away fat, you'll want to diversify how you work out that area. Incorporating 2 or 3 of these exercise on back day can help you do that.

TL;DR in Russian:

Grooming is a great way to show your horse you love him. Grooming your horse every day is ideal, as well as before and after you ride him. Keep in mind that grooming is not a ‘one size fits all’ activity, so you will need to learn what grooming tools your own horse prefers, as well as how he likes for them to be used on his body.  Grooming your horse is also a good way to detect any abnormalities on your horse’s body that may need further medical attention.  There are many available grooming tools, such as hoof picks, combs (curry combs, mane and tail combs), brushes (dandy brush, body brush), and cloths (towel or polishing).  A curry comb is used to remove dirt and debris in your horse's coat and/or skin. Move it in small and gentle swirls on your horse's body. The mane and tail comb should be used very gently on your horse's mane and tail to prevent pulling too much hair out.  A dandy brush is used in a flicking motion to flick dirt off of your horse's coat. The body brush can be used all over your horse's body, but you should pay attention to his sensitive spots. Learning what grooming tools to use on your horse, and how, may take a period of trial and error. When you groom your horse, start on one side of him. With slow and gentle strokes, begin grooming at the top of his neck and work your down to his tail. Switch sides and repeat.  Be attentive to your horse’s body language (e.g., muscle tensing, stepping back)—he will let you know if there are areas of his body where he does not want to be groomed. Talking to your horse in a calm voice can help him feel comfortable with you grooming him. Consider talking with an equine groomer or your equine veterinarian if you feel unsure about grooming your horse properly. Massaging your horse strengthens your bond with him and has many benefits, including soothing his sore muscles,, improving his circulation and muscle tone,, and calming his nervous system. There are a variety of equine massage methods. Whichever method you choose, your horse will likely appreciate...

TL;DR in Russian:

Чистите лошадь. Делайте лошади массаж. Растирайте лошадь различными предметами.


Grooming your horse is an important bonding experience, as it shows the horse that your relationship is not all about riding and work, it's also about spending time together and finding things that make him happy. Thoroughly grooming your horse with a curry comb is a good place to start, just make sure to get all those spots that he can't reach himself, like his chest and belly. When it comes to bath time, make the experience as pleasant as possible for your horse by washing him with warm water -- not too hot, not too cold.  Work a specialized horse shampoo into his coat with a soft sponge, but be sure to thoroughly rinse it out afterwards, to avoid irritation. Remove any excess water with a sweat scraper. . A horses legs are very sensitive, so by allowing you to pick up his feet, a horse is displaying great trust. Let him grow accustomed to your touch by gently running your hands along his foreleg, starting above his knee and slowly working your way down towards the fetlock. If he grows skittish, stop and start again from the top.  Once he allows you to touch his fetlock, lightly squeeze a few inches above it with your thumb and forefinger. This is his cue to lift his foot. Once he allows you to lift his foot, check that the shoe is intact and that there is nothing lodged in his hoof. Gently place his foot back on the ground and reward him with a pat. . Giving your horse a massage is a great way to relax him and encourage trust. By working on any knots or sore spots, you will also be relieving pain and tension, which may also enhance his performance.  Learn to recognize the feel of your horse's muscles, and be able identify which areas need the most work. In time, he will learn to lean into the massage, showing you where he needs work. Sometimes a quick mouth massage is all that's needed, other times you will really need to dig in deep, working hard to loosen his hips or shoulder muscles. Essential oils (designed especially for horses) can work wonders for relaxing and calming your horse while you work on...

Grooming your rabbit can help strengthen the bond between you and your pet. Not only can brushing help you feel close to your rabbit, it can also prevent issues like fur balls.  Brush your rabbit about every 3 days. When your rabbit is shedding, brush him slightly more. You can use a slicker brush, which you can buy at most pet stores, to brush your rabbit. Brush your rabbit going in the direction of his fur. Use slow, gentle motions so your rabbit enjoys the experience. A massage is a great way to spoil your rabbit. It can help him relax and bond with you. It will also make him feel comfortable, promoting circulation and increasing the range of the joints in his muscles.  Slowly run your fingers over your rabbit's nose, and then move them over his head and body. Work your way all the way down to his tail. Make circling motions with your fingers over your rabbit's cheeks, as well as between his ears. Not all rabbits like being handled extensively. If you just got your rabbit, it may take him some time to get comfortable with your touch. You may want to wait to massage your rabbit until he comes to you on his own. If your rabbit growls or clicks his teeth, you should stop massaging him. Rabbits are social creatures and love to play games with their owners. If you want to spoil your rabbit, schedule some time to play each day. Rabbits love to knock things over, throw things, and chew. Play games that cater to these instincts, always setting aside a small pocket of your day to play with your rabbit.  You can set up miniature bowling pins for your rabbit. You can usually buy these in a department store, in the toy section. Rabbits love to knock things down, so your rabbit will love pushing over the bowling pins after you set them up. You can provide a variety of cloth and plastic toys for your rabbit, which you should be able to find at a pet store. Many rabbits enjoy picking things up and throwing them. You can allow your rabbit to throw his toy, and then retrieve it for him. Provide toys for your rabbits to...

Gross profit is your total revenue earned from your goods or services, minus the cost of producing or providing those goods or services (COGS). This calculation does not include expenses like payroll, rent, or utilities; it only considers the cost directly related to creating those goods and services. Gross profit margin is the gross profit divided by revenues.  Net profit takes all business expenditures into account and is calculated as gross profit minus administrative expenses and other relevant expenses. This includes regular operational costs (payroll, rent, etc.) and one-time costs (taxes, contractor invoices, etc.). You must also include any additional earnings, such as investment income.  Net profit provides a more complete and detailed rendering of the business health and is generally what is used to manage the business. The steps below detail how to find this number. Net profit is also known as "the bottom line." To calculate your business's profit margin, choose the period of time you want to analyze. Generally, people use either months, quarters, or years to calculate their profit margins. Consider why you want to calculate your margins. If you are applying for loans or looking to attract investors, these people will want to know more than just how your business did over a single month. However, if you're comparing your profit margin between different months for your own purposes, it's fine to use shorter periods of time. Revenue is everything the business brings in through sale of goods, services, or earnings of interest.  If your business only sells goods, such a retail shop or restaurant, your total revenue is all the sales you had during the period you've chosen to analyze minus any returns or discounts. If you don't already have this figure on hand, multiply the total number of items you sold by the price of each of those items and then adjust for returns and discounts. Similarly, if your business provides services, such as lawn mowing, your total revenue is all of the amounts you collected...

Ground beetles are a natural predator of slugs. You can purchase ground beetle larvae from a gardening store and distribute them through your garden in early spring. The larvae will feed, enter their pupae, and emerge as adult beetles in the summer..  Alternatively, you can encourage wild beetles to stay near your plants by providing dry refuges under stones, grass, or straw. This allows the beetles to hide from predators, making your garden an attractive home. Luckily, ground beetles can live almost everywhere that slugs can also live. The biggest natural predators for slugs are birds; ducks, chickens, robins, jays, and other common species all enjoy a slug meal. If you’re not too squeamish, you can pick out slugs and toss them to the wild birds in the morning; they will become conditioned to look for slugs in your area over time, and you won’t have to ‘feed’ them for long. You can also let your chickens or ducks, if you have domesticated ones, eat the slugs from your garden on a daily basis.  Keep a close eye on your chickens, as they may eat plants as well. Encourage birds to nest in your garden by providing hedges or dense shrubbery, bird feeders, and a bird bath. Toads love slugs, and will eat them and other pests from your plants if you give them a home in your garden. If you’re trying to attract wild toads, turn a pot or other container upside down against a rock to create a dark hiding place for the toads. Otherwise, you can look into purchasing wild toads to live in your garden and eat the slugs on a daily basis for you. You can also look into adding a small decorative pond for the toads and frogs to reside in. Do not keep fish in the pond, as these may eat the tadpoles. Nematodes are microscopic parasitic worms that live in soil. You can purchase nematode species specifically for killing slugs at your local gardening store. This can be extremely effective, but this is a double-edged sword. Once all the slugs are killed, their predators (and the nematodes) will leave the area or die out. If you do...

Ground flaxseed, also referred to as “milled flaxseed” or “flax meal”, can cause bloating and abdominal discomfort if you do not give your body time to adjust to it. If you are just starting to use flaxseed, start with 1 tbsp (14 g) a day, and gradually add more to your diet. Do not exceed 2 to 4 tbsp (28g to 56.7g) of flaxseed a day. You can consume whole flaxseed and still receive some nutritional benefits. But grinding the flaxseed will ensure your body digests the seed and processes it properly. This will allow your body to receive the maximum amount of health benefits from the flaxseed. Flaxseed can cause bloating and abdominal discomfort. If you have existing bowel issues like acute or chronic diarrhea, diverticulitis (colon disorder), or inflammatory bowel disease, avoid flaxseed as it can make these conditions worse. You should also avoid this seed if you are allergic to flaxseed oil, or any other members of the Linaceae plant family. Allergic reaction symptoms include itchy palms, hives, itchy eyes and weeping, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting after consuming flaxseed. Check with your doctor before you consume flaxseed to avoid other health issues. If you currently have breast cancer, limit flaxseed to 2-3 Tbsp per day and avoid flax supplementation. Talk to your doctor and health care team before beginning this regimen.

Если вы принимаете какие-либо лекарственные препараты, проконсультируйтесь с врачом прежде, чем добавить льняное семя в свой рацион.


Ground turmeric is more widely available that the fresh variety. Nonetheless, fresh turmeric can often be found at farmers’ markets, larger grocery stores, health food stores, and Asian markets. To mince fresh turmeric, peel it with a small spoon and then grate it on a Microplane or on the smallest holes of a box grater. You can also mince it with a large kitchen knife. Ginger is the most common flavor addition to turmeric tea. Cinnamon is another popular option. Both, like turmeric, are hailed as anti-inflammatories. When choosing an herbal teabag, look for lemongrass. Grinding the dried spices will result in more potent flavors.  Prepare fresh ginger in the same manner as you would the turmeric. Peel it with a spoon. Then, grate in on a Microplane or box grater. Cinnamon sticks can be added whole. Or, for a stronger flavor, you can grind them in mortar and pestle or a clean coffee grinder. Black pepper can be added whole or ground. Cayenne pepper can be added for some extra kick and a small metabolism boost.

Ground-planted purple flower potato bushes will benefit from a mulch before the ground gets cold. This will help to protect the roots over the winter months.  If you’re lucky enough to live in an area that is frost-free, your purple flower potato bush may bloom year-round. In other areas, you can expect it to die back in winter but re-grow and blossom again the following year. A really brutal frost can kill these plants off completely. If you expect a particularly cold snap, you could try fleece-protection using special plant cladding from the garden center. Some gardeners recommend wrapping the plant with fairy lights suitable for outdoor use and then wrapping in an old shower curtain or similar. If you are growing your purple flower potato bush in a pot, you may like to overwinter it in a shed or conservatory, where it will be protected from winter frosts. However, this is only necessary if you live in areas that experience a lot of frost. You should prune your purple flower potato bush over the dormant winter period, in December or January. You'll want to cut the stems back by about a third at this time, though if you want to contain the size of the plant you can prune more aggressively.  To prune the stems, cut to a point just above a leaf node. Any diseased or damaged shoots should also be removed. Also remove any suckers – the shoots that form from the rootstock – unless you want the plant to spread. To check if your purple flower potato bush has survived the winter, try scratching away the bark from a stem at the base of the plant. If it is still green and fresh inside (rather than woody), your plant is still alive and should regrow soon.

TL;DR in Russian:

Внесите свежий слой мульчи до наступления зимы. Действительно жестокие морозы убьют это растение полностью. Переместите горшок с посажеными деревьями в помещение. Обрежьте растение в состоянии покоя в декабре или январе. Проверьте, если ваше растение пережило зиму.


Grounding is a quick and simple method of taking your mind off your anxiety and instead focusing on your present surroundings. As soon as you start to feel the symptoms of an anxiety attack, stop and concentrate on what you can feel, see, smell, hear, or even taste in that moment.  Try holding a small object, such as a set of keys or a stress ball, and turning it over in your hand. Pay attention to the weight of it and how it feels against your fingers. If you have a cold drink on hand, take a slow sip. Pay attention to how the cup or bottle feels in your hands and the sensation of the drink in your mouth as you swallow it. You might also find it helpful to mentally review who you are and what you’re doing in the here and now. For example, say to yourself, “I’m Christine. I’m 22 years old, and I’m sitting in my living room. I just got home from work.” deeply to help yourself relax. If you’re having a panic attack, chances are you’re beginning to hyperventilate. Even if you’re not, breathing deeply can help to reduce your stress and provide oxygen to your brain to help you focus. When you feel an attack coming on, stop and slow down your breathing. Take a slow, steady breath in through your nose, then release it through your mouth.  If you can, lie down or sit up straight with one hand on your belly and one on your chest. Feel your belly expand as you slowly breathe in, then use your abdominal muscles to slowly push the breath out.  You may find it helpful to slowly count to 5 each time you breathe in or out. During a panic attack, your thoughts may feel jumbled up. You are likely feeling many sensations at once, which contributes to the sense of “overload.” Stopping to think about what is actually going on in your body and mind can help the sensations feel more manageable. Sit quietly and try to mentally describe your feelings and thoughts, without judgment.  For example, you might notice: “My heart is beating very fast. My hands feel sweaty. I’m afraid I’m going to faint.” Remind yourself that these symptoms...

Group calls are especially taxing on your internet speed, so a high-speed connection is recommended. If you have a slow internet connection and access to your router, use an ethernet cable to plug your computer directly into the router's ethernet slot for consistent internet.   This will open the pertinent conversation, to which you can add people as you please. You can also click the "plus" sign in the toolbar above the "Contacts" and "Recent" section. This will create a new group. This is located in the upper right-hand corner of your current conversation. Clicking it brings up a menu that allows you to add members to the group. You can also search for specific people by typing in their names. If you are currently in a conversation with someone, adding them to a larger group will bring the rest of the list's contacts to your current conversation. Skype can support up to 25 people (including you) in a voice conversation. Only 10 people can actively appear in a video call. Skype will begin dialing all of your group members. You have successfully completed a conference call on Skype!

Group the prepped leaves in a bundle and tie them together at their stems with a rubber band or twist tie. Make more than one bundle if you have lots of basil leaves. Hang your bundles of basil from a hook or wall tack to dry. You don't have to hang them in your kitchen, but make sure you choose a place with freely circulating air and moderate sunlight to aid the drying process. Choose a room with a window that can be opened to let air and sunlight in and preferably one where bugs won't be able to get to your drying herbs. Your basil will be dried and ready to use in about two weeks or when the leaves are dark green, dry and brittle to the touch. If the leaves or stems still feel a little flexible, let them hang another week. Remove the rubber band or twist tie, separate the dried basil bundle and crumble the dried leaves with your fingers. Store them in a labeled jar or container for future use.

Groupon started by offering daily deals that required a "tipping point," or a certain number of buyers before the deal was actually active. They've found that tipping point was always reached, so they've done away with it. They've also expanded from the simple 1-deal-a-day approach. Here's an overview of what they offer. This is the traditional deal Groupon became known for. It works like this:  Consult. Work with your Groupon representative to create a custom offer that meets your business needs. Plan. Create an action plan to help your staff deal with the rush of new customers. Launch. Your deal will be featured for one day on the main Groupon site. This is the page that Groupon subscribers in your locale will see. Connect. Customers buy the deal, and receive a voucher in return. They bring this with them when they come to enjoy your offering. Redeem. You scan the voucher code they bring in, enter it manually into the Merchant Center, or write it down for later entry. Payment. According to Groupon, most business partners get paid in thirds—33% after 7 to 10 days, 33% after 1 month, and 34% after 2 months. Visit the What It Looks Like page to see a breakdown of each part of your deal page. Groupon Now is an on-demand service that cater to customers actively exploring your neighborhood for deals. It relies heavily on their mobile application.  Review the steps above for The Featured Deal. The significant difference is how the deal is launched. Rather than simply appearing on the Groupon website, the deal is pushed to the mobile app on your potential customer's smart phone. Rather than the printed voucher many may bring using the Featured Deal, the voucher will be on their phone. Visit the What It Looks Like page to see how a deal is structured on a smart phone. This program offers rewards to your best customers based on your specifications.

Groups and events such as book clubs, cooking classes, or lectures can be good be places to meet people and find things that interest you. The attendees here are good people to talk to because you already know that you share at least one common interest. Most importantly, it gives you something to talk about when you meet someone, rather than try to make small talk, something many introverts do not enjoy. New friends are very unlikely to just present themselves at your door, so you're going to need to find them. Social outings or places where there are other people to meet are a good way to start finding new friends. Look for social events and accept invitations; start saying "Yes!" even if it's hard or you feel more like staying at home.  There are many organizations and groups out there for people looking to expand their social circle. It can be easier to talk to other people when you know they are there for the same reason you are.  If your workplace or friends are having a social event, offer to help. It will give you something to do at a party beyond trying to meet people. If a conversation seems to be running too long, you can always excuse yourself to deal with something party-related.  If you have a hard time bringing yourself to go to social events, try giving yourself an informal quota. Give yourself space to do things socially, while also carving out time for yourself. That way you don't have to feel guilty about going to events, or for turning down invitations. If you are out and about, and are willing to have people come and talk to you, let them know they are welcome. Making your body open and large will make you more approachable to others.  Take up space where you are. Keep your head up, sit straight, or take long strides. This makes you appear confident, someone people will want to talk to. Uncross your arms. Crossed arms is a classic "don't talk to me" position. If your arms are open, you will appear more welcoming to people who might want to talk to you. It's okay if this doesn't lead to a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Grow lights may help indoor cactus if your house is dark.  Refrain from placing potted cactus in direct sunlight as it can become scorched and the roots will overheat. If your cactus is placed in full sun, use white or light-colored pots to help avoid overheating. Young plants will do best in partial sunlight. Simulate natural conditions in the desert by watering well but infrequently in much the same way as that of an infrequent desert thunderstorm. Over-watering will cause your cactus to rot. A cactus will go dormant if it is too hot or cold. Bring outdoor potted cactus indoors if temperatures are too cold.

Поддерживайте очень яркий свет для вашего кактуса в закрытом помещении или на улице. Поливайте, когда почва сухая. Поддерживайте постоянные температуры.


Growing a beard is a commitment. It will take time and dedication. There may be days when you feel like giving in and picking up the razor again. For times like these, you may find it helpful to keep an image of a bearded role model in mind. Think of a man with a gloriously full, thick beard who's image will provide you with inspiration and motivation when you need it most. Get a picture of this man and hang it in your bathroom. He'll provide you with the strength you need to persevere and achieve the manly beard you've always dreamed of. Some good examples of fabulously full-bearded men include: musicians like John Lennon and Jim Morrison, philosophers like Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud, former American presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant and mythical Gods such as Zeus and Poseidon. You've probably heard the advice that shaving your beard will cause it to grow back twice as thick as before, but there is no real truth to this theory. After shaving your beard, your hair will experience a slight initial growth spurt, but will quickly return to a growth rate that's even slower than it was before, therefore rendering the growth benefits of shaving negligible.  In addition, your beard may appear to be thicker when it starts growing again, but this is only because the hair nearest the root is darker and coarser than the ends. Once the length of the hairs increase, you will no longer notice a difference.  As a result, your best bet is just to leave your facial hair be. Lock your razor into a drawer and let nature take its course. It will typically take between 4 to 6 weeks for you to grow your facial hair into a proper beard. It will be hardest in the beginning, when your facial hair may be patchy and uneven and you'll have to deal with smirks and snarky comments from friends and family who don't understand your quest for bearded glory. For this reason, it may be best to start growing your beard while on vacation or a break from work. This will give you a running start at growing your beard, away from the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите бородатый образец для подражания. Игнорируйте легенду о том, что бритье заставит вашу бороду расти пышнее. Растите около 4-6 недель. Выясняем, как бороться с зудом и желанием почесаться. Мойте бороду шампунем против перхоти. Стоит понимать, что темп роста и пышность вашей бороды во многом зависят от генетических данных.


Growing a good layer of stubble is just as much about what you don't do than about what you do. If you're clean-shaven, start by simply stopping shaving. Depending on the speed at which your hair grows, you should start seeing stubble growing within one to three days. If you currently have a beard and you want to switch to stubble, give yourself a clean shave, then wait for your hair to grow. Alternatively, you can use a shorter setting on your beard trimmer to go directly from a beard to an All-over stubble style. This step will be different for everyone — some people may only need to wait a day to get to the amount of stubble they want, while others may need to take a week or more. This also depends on the style of stubble you've chosen. For example, all other things being equal, the "Wilderness" stubble style described above will take longer to grow than the "Peach Fuzz" style. Be patient — the average beard grows about 1/2 inch per month. Keep in mind that, for many people, certain patches of hair on the face grow faster than others. If this is the case for you, you'll want to wait until the fasting-growing patch of hair on your face is the right length. In other words, don't wait for your slow-growing patches to "catch up" to the fast-growing ones before you go to the next step. Once you've got your stubble to just the right length, it's time to shape it. Again, there's no "right" way to do this, but if you don't have any special opinion on the matter, use the short steps below to give yourself a "clean" look and a well-defined chin. If you're going for a "shaggier" look, you don't have to trim your neck hair, but don't let the hair on your neck get longer or more prominent than the hair on your face.  Use a stubble trimmer, a mini foil shaver, or a safety razor to shave a line under your chin. Unless you're going for a "chinstrap" look, this should be a few inches behind your natural chin line — to about where the bottom of the chin meets your neck. Shave the hair on the neck below your new stubble...

Growing a lawn from sod is much more expensive than growing from seed, but much faster. Sod, which comes in rolls, is grass that has been grown for a little over a year. The roots hold the strips together allowing you to put long strips onto your prepared soil.  Sod is typically sold on heavy wooden pallets, ranging in size from 450-700 sq. ft (42-65 sq. m). These pallets are difficult to transport, so you may wish to ask your supplier about delivery services and fees. You will probably need to pay a return deposit on your sod. You can plant sod in almost any season, but if you plan on laying sod in the summer, make sure you give it plenty of water. Sod begins to spoil and die quickly when left on the pallet, so plan to install it on the day of purchase, and only purchase as much as you can install in a single day. Lightly water the sod, cover it with burlap, and keep it in a shaded area until you are ready to use it.  Keep the sod moist and cool while you work with it. Keep a spray bottle handy to keep it from drying out. Start laying your sod along the longest straight edge in your yard, usually by a fence line or a driveway. Don't walk on the sod while you're laying it and if you do happen to step on it, smooth out the footprints with a rake.  Trim any excess sod off with a sharp knife and save it for odd corners.  Make sure the sod is smooth as you lay it. You want it flat against the soil so the roots will take. As you start laying the sod, avoid any gaps between pieces. The sod should be snug near hard surfaces, such as pavement or bricks, so that the edges don't dry out. Cut off half of the second piece of sod when you lay it. In doing so, you will create staggered seams, much like brick-work. This will make the seams less noticeable and keep the edges from drying out. New sod needs to stay moist. Once you've put the first few rows down, give your sod a good watering. Take a break to check the moisture every few rows or so. Pay special attention to the edges as they can dry out fast. You can backfill...

Growing hair starts from the roots - which means that taking care of your scalp and the roots of your hair can stimulate growth. Oil, which conditions hair, warmed and massaged onto your scalp will help to prompt hair growth. Heat up a bit of olive, coconut, or argon oil until warm to the touch. Gently rub this into your scalp for 5-10 minutes, and allow the oil to soak into your hair for an additional 30 minutes. Rinse out the oil with warm water when you’re finished. Apple cider vinegar is one of those ‘jack of all trades’ products; it works wonders on hair, skin, and many health ailments. Among its many abilities is the power to help stimulate hair growth. Mix three parts apple cider vinegar with one part water, and put it in a spray bottle. Every time you shower, spritz your hair with the vinegar mixture post-shampoo. Wait 1-2 minutes, and then rinse it out. You should notice a change in growth rate after several weeks of use. Damaged hair doesn’t grow as well as healthy hair; using a deep conditioner to repair your hair follicles will increase hair growth over time. Choose a deep conditioner for your hair type (available at most drug stores and hair salons), and follow the box directions for application. Normally, the conditioner is left in your hair for 20-30 minutes prior to being rinsed out with cold water. Egg whites and aloe vera have been used in hair for centuries. They add moisture to hair, giving it a healthier appearance, and also help to stimulate hair growth. Mix an egg white with fresh aloe vera (or 100% bottled aloe) and cover your hair and scalp in the mixture. Let the mask set for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse it out with cool water. Allow your hair to air-dry when finished. Boil a cut onion in water for 10-15 minutes to form an onion broth. Allow this to cool, and then coat your head and scalp in it. The onion provides nutrients that help with hair growth while adding shine to the strands. Rinse it out with cold water, and allow your hair to air dry. And don’t worry - the onion won’t...

Growing mushrooms from coffee grounds is a fun project which helps to use up coffee grounds that would otherwise go to waste. Coffee grounds are a fantastic growing medium for mushrooms (oyster mushrooms in particular) as they are already sterilized thanks to the coffee brewing process and are full of nutrients. For 500 g (17.6 oz) of mushroom spawn, you will need 2.5 kg (88 oz) of fresh coffee grounds. The best way to get this amount of fresh coffee grounds (brewed that day) is to go to a cafe and ask nicely. They're usually more than happy to give it away. The best thing to use is a filter patch grow bag, which can usually be purchased along with the mushroom spawn. Otherwise you can use a large, sealable freezer bag or a sterilized milk carton or ice cream tub, with four small holes poked into the sides.

Growing pine trees from seeds can be a long, challenging process. You will have to acquire seeds when the pine cones are ripe, most likely in autumn. Depending on species and climate, you may need to prepare the seeds for 30–60 days as describe below before planting in pots. They will grow slowly, and may take over a year before they can be transplanted into outdoor soil without significant risk of death.  While most pine cones ripen between August and October, some species such as the Scotch pine remain usable until March. Your local climate will also be a factor. Read the description of ripe pine cones so you know what to look for. See Growing Pine Trees from Seedlings for an easier, faster method. Pine cones come in two varieties: small male cones and large female cones. Only the female cones produce seeds. Choose large pine cones with scales that are not fully open, or spread apart. If the scales are spread apart, they may have already released their seeds.  You may take fallen cones or pick them from the tree by twisting them off the branch. Female pine cones are usually higher on the tree, so you may need a stepladder or a hooked pole. Choose brown or purplish pine cones, as fully green cones are not mature and have not produced useful seeds. Pine trees that have produced many cones are more likely to produce useful seeds. Place them in direct sunlight if possible, and let them dry out so the scales open and give you access to the seeds. You may warm the room to speed this along, but do not heat the cones above 113ºF (45ºC). Each scale of the pine cone should have one or two seeds underneath it, sometimes attached to a thin "wing" for catching the wind. Shake the cones on a tray with 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) mesh or hardware cloth; the seeds should fall out of the cones and through the mesh.  Shake over a tarpaulin to easily collect the seeds afterward. Use tweezers to pull out stubborn seeds, or if you only collected a few cones. Use room temperature water. Besides providing the seeds with water they need to...

Guess where you are right now? In the moment. You're not in yesterday's moments, and you're not in tomorrow's. You're in the moment that is happening as you read. Take comfort in the fact that it is physically impossible for you to be anywhere else. It's never too late to be in the moment; all you have to do is realize you're already there. The challenge is to turn your thoughts toward what is happening in the present, or to become more mindfully aware.   Mindfulness happens when you notice and acknowledge the present. When you feel your thoughts swirling toward something that has already happened or something that may be yet to happen and try looking down at your hand. Become aware of how your hand feels right now. Are you a little chilly, or are you warm? Notice what's anchoring you to the here and now.   It also helps to acknowledge something outside your own sphere. Look out the window and notice leaves blowing in the wind, or birds sitting on a wire. In another moment, they may blow down from the tree or take flight to another telephone pole. When you notice the world around you, you become more mindful of the present. You are not the thoughts in your head. Your worries, anxieties, guilt, and other negative thoughts are not you, and getting lost in them poses a huge impediment to being in the moment. Stopping yourself from thinking so hard is an important step toward mindfulness. As you probably know, it's also very difficult to do. Here are some ways you can stop letting your thoughts rule your existence:   Stop thinking too much about the future. A certain amount of planning is good, but there are many, many things that are out of your control, definitely including the future, and things may not go as planned. You cannot control what will happen in 5 or 10 years. When it comes down to it, you don't even know what might happen tomorrow. Make a conscious decision to stop worrying so much. When you find yourself obsessing, do something to bring about greater mindfulness, like stepping outside and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Осознайте, что вы здесь. Не думайте слишком много. Не будьте самокритичны. Будьте хорошим слушателем. Принимайте людей такими, какие они есть. Принимайте боль.


Guestbooks rely on script files in order to collect and display responses. Since you don't have the ability to upload scripts to Blogger blogs, you'll need to link to a guestbook that is hosted on another site. This will require you to create an account on this site so that you can manage and store your guestbook. There are free and paid options, depending on your needs. You'll be generating your guestbook on another website, and then copying the code for the book into a new page on your blog. There are a variety of different services available that can generate and host a guestbook. Different services will offer different features. A few of the most popular services are listed below, and most are free:  Bravenet - Bravenet.com offers free guestbooks, and you can choose different designs and add smilies for guests to use. The Bravenet guestbook will appear directly on your blog. Bravenet gives you the most control over your guestbook design out of all of the options listed here. 123Guestbook - This free guestbook only takes a few moments to setup,but offers less customization than Bravenet. Ultraguest - This guestbook has a lot of moderation features, including private messaging. SnapHost - SnapHost is a paid guestbook service that offers CAPTCHA and anti-spam functions. It's actually a CAPTCHA service first and foremost that includes a guestbook among its features. Choose this option if the other features appeal to you as well, otherwise it's probably not worth it for just the guestbook. All of the services listed above require you to create an account. You'll use this account to manage your guestbook settings, since they can't be managed from your blog. This is because the actual guestbook database is located on the guestbook service's servers. You'll be prompted to enter your blog's address when creating your account. This will allow the service to connect to assign the guestbook to your website so that replies are properly tracked. Once you have created your account, you can begin customizing your...

Guided Access will work on any iPad app. For children's use, you may want to let them watch videos or play a particular game. This will open the in-app Guided Access settings screen. These "blind spots" will remain the same regardless of what changes on the screen throughout use. You may want to disable areas that show clickable ads, exit buttons, in-app purchases, or other similar "no-go" functions. The boundary you draw doesn't have to be exact. The iPad will turn your boundary into a logical shape for the given area (box, oval, etc.), and even after drawing, you can adjust the edges of the boundary by dragging the corners and sides to cover your desired region. Click on "Options" and then adjust the "Sleep/Wake Button" and "Volume Buttons" as you'd like. If the buttons are green, those functions will work, and if they're white, they will not work. Turning the "Touch" button to white will put the whole screen in "view only" mode; touching anywhere on the screen won't do anything. When this button is white, tilting or turning the screen will have no effect on the iPad or app.  If the user touches the disabled areas or buttons, nothing will happen, so they can play and watch any way they want without getting into trouble!

Guided meditation can be very helpful for beginners because someone else leads you in your effort to relax and enter a meditative state. These are usually narrated through instruction, stories, imagery or music and can be accessed via a sound file (mp3, CD/DVD, etc.) on your computer, phone, tablet or by video. Guided meditation uses the senses. You utilize smells, sights, sounds and textures to visualize various methods of relaxation. Often, you follow along as a guide offers directions on how to breathe, relax muscle groups and create a sensation of inner peace. There are many audio apps, CD/DVD and other forms of meditation available now that use binaural beats to facilitate deep meditation very quickly. These beats synchronize brain waves so that the frequencies are altered to help the mind reach various states of consciousness. Concentrative meditation has you focusing your attention on an image, object, sound or positive mantra. You can think of a peaceful beach, a bright apple or a calming word or phrase. The idea is that what you choose to focus on helps block out distracting thoughts.  For your mantra, repeat a word or phrase that calms you. You can choose something like “I feel at peace” or “I love myself” but really anything that makes you feel better will work. You can say it out loud or silently, whichever you prefer.  It can be helpful to place a hand on your stomach so you can feel your breathing while you practice controlled breaths, visualizing or mantra repetition. Consider Japa meditation. It utilizes the repetition of a Sanskrit term or word along with a beaded rosary to meditate. You may also want to try passage meditation, which uses spiritual or inspirational passages to focus and achieve meditation. Meditating this way focuses your attention on the present moment. You bring awareness to what is happening right now and your experience during meditation, such as your breathing. You recognize what you feel, think and what is happening around you without actively trying to change it. ...

Guinea fowl are not very good at taking care of their delicate little keets. They are fierce protectors, but they will walk through grass with morning dew on it and expect the keets to follow. They do, but getting wet is death to keets. Though a grown guinea can endure rain and snow and other insults, guinea keets are very delicate, so you will have to put in some work to raise them.  Guineas sometimes will abandon a nest even after the hen has gotten broody and spent several nights sitting on the eggs. If you notice that a nest has been abandoned, move the eggs to an incubator right away. You can use a store-bought incubator, following the instructions for incubating turkey or pheasant eggs if no specific instructions are provided for guinea eggs. The incubation period is between 26 and 28 days.  Once the keets hatch, you will need to care for them until they have fully developed feathers and are strong enough to hold their own with the rest of the flock. If you also raise chickens, a broody hen can be used to hatch the eggs and raise the keets. Turkeys can also make suitable replacement mothers. You will need to keep the keets contained in a box for the first six to eight weeks. A 16" x 28" box will provide enough space for about 15 keets.   Keets are very delicate, so be sure to provide adequate space for them to prevent trampling. If they appear to be overcrowded, move them to a larger box. Keets can escape through very fine wire mesh, so it's best to keep them in a container with solid sides, like a sturdy cardboard box. They will be jumping in no time, so make sure you cover the box with a screen. Keep the box lined with clean paper towels for the first week or more, and then switch to wood shavings. They need a textured surface to prevent them from slipping and injuring their legs, so don't line the box with newspaper. Textured shelf liner, available at dollar stores, is a good substitute. Try this: Put a hand towel or cloth in a clothes dryer only long enough to get it warm. Then pick the keet up with...

Будьте готовы вмешаться. Создайте для птенцов безопасный дом. Держите коробку с птенцами в тепле. Кормите птенцов. Давайте птенцам воду. Следите, чтобы птенцы оставались чистыми.


Guinea pigs are social creatures, so if you have more than one, you should avoid separating them when one is dying. Doing so could make both animals anxious or sad, and this is the last thing you want to do as your guinea pig makes his grand exit. It might be a good idea to separate your ailing guinea pig from his friends if he is in pain or the other guinea pig tries to rough-house with him. You will need to make this judgment yourself based on the situation. Placing a small, light-weight blanket or piece of soft cloth on top of or around your guinea pig will keep him from getting cold and will help him relax. Your guinea pig may become incontinent as his bodily systems begin to shut down, so change out the blanket every so often to keep your pet reasonably clean and comfortable.  Many animals (and people) are much more sensitive to cold as they age and begin to die, so keeping your older guinea pig's cage environment slightly warmer than you used to can improve his comfort substantially. Use a material or cloth that your guinea pig is familiar with to enhance his comfort with the situation. A dying guinea pig will become very weak and unable to feed or water himself as his death approaches. You can make his passing less uncomfortable by offering him water from a spoon, syringe, or water bottle. Blend or mix a guinea pig "smoothie" that contains hay, water and ground up pellets and feed it to him.  Don't force your guinea pig to eat or drink if he doesn't want to. You simply want to make these things accessible to him if he can't get them himself. Make sure anything you feed your guinea pig is well-blended so he doesn't have to use up precious energy chewing (which he might not be able to do, anyway). You can gently cuddle or stroke your guinea pig to comfort him and express affection. This will help your guinea pig know that he is not alone and should reduce any fear or anxiety he may be experiencing. If you hold him, do so in a way you know he likes and that won't cause him any unnecessary pain or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Держите своего питомца рядом с его товарищами. Прикройте своего питомца. Удовлетворяйте основные потребности животного. Показывайте питомцу свою привязанность. Создайте умиротворяющую атмосферу.


Gum, mints, mouthwash, wet wipes (to clean your armpits or other areas of your body), deodorant, cologne or perfume, foot spray, scented lotion, and an extra shirt or socks are good items to keep on hand. Simply toss your items in a small bag and store it in your desk drawer, backpack, or car. When the need arises, simply grab your kit and excuse yourself to use the restroom and freshen up. This is a simple and effective way to ensure you smell good all day long! If your shirt or socks are sweaty or stinky, swap them out for fresh ones. Store the dirty items in a plastic bag with a zipper to ensure the odors don’t escape. Make sure you bring the dirty clothes home and wash them promptly. If you decide to go with mouthwash, pick a kind that’s alcohol-free. Alcohol dries out your mouth, and a dry mouth is actually what causes bad breath. Gum or mints that you can chew or suck on will help restore saliva and, if you choose a minty flavor, will make your breath smell great. If you have exercised, sweat a lot, or simply smell bad, you can reapply deodorant throughout the day. Use a wet wipe or a damp washcloth to clean your armpits first. Pat them dry with a soft paper towel, then reapply your deodorant. If your scent tends to fade throughout the day, take some time to spray it on again. Don’t get too heavy-handed, simply spray your ankles or wrists and let your body heat diffuse the scent.

TL;DR in Russian:

Всегда держите под рукой небольшой комплект из вещей, которые вам могут пригодиться. При необходимости можно сменить футболку или носки. Чтобы освежить дыхание, пожуйте жвачку, полощите рот ополаскивателем или скушайте мятный леденец. При необходимости воспользуйтесь дезодорантом еще раз. Нанесите духи или одеколон.


Gums can become swollen for a variety of reasons, though in many cases the condition can be a sign of gum disease. It is important that you identify the cause of the swelling, so that you can pursue the correct course of action — either caring for your gums at home, or making an appointment to see a dentist. Some common causes include:   Incorrect brushing or flossing techniques. In many cases, swollen gums are the result of poor oral hygiene, where plaque is allowed to build up between the teeth and at the gum line. To overcome this, you will need to start brushing teeth thoroughly and flossing regularly to remove excess plaque. In addition, many people who do floss between their teeth do it too roughly, which can also cause swelling.  Gingivitis and periodontitis. If good oral hygiene is not maintained, gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis can easily develop. Gingivitis is the less severe form, and can be reversed if caught early. Periodontitis, on the other hand, is more serious and can lead to tooth loss. If gums look red, shiny and swollen, then you have gingivitis. The next stage is gum recession and bone loss, which defines periodontitis. If you suspect you might have either of these gum diseases, you should consult a dentist.   Mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers which form on the gums can lead to pain and swelling. You can usually identify mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, by their appearance; they will have a whitish center and red edges. Multiple mouth ulcers can appear at once, but they are usually treatable and non-contagious.  Chemotherapy. One of the many unfortunate side effects of chemotherapy is painful, swollen and bleeding gums. It can also cause the growth of painful ulcers and sores on the gums due to a weakened immune system. Although these symptoms can be relieved, they will not stop while chemotherapy treatment continues.  Tobacco. Smoking cigarettes and using other tobacco products commonly contributes to painful, swollen gums. In fact, people who use tobacco products are...

Guppies, mollies, swordtails, and platies are probably the most common live-bearing aquarium species. The males and females of these species mate, after which the females form eggs within their bodies. Over the course of a month or two (for most aquarium species), the eggs hatch into fish, and the mother gives birth. Search for the name of your species online to discover whether it is egg-bearing (oviparous) or live-bearing (viviparous). As a general rule, male fish of live-bearing species are brighter or more elaborately colored, and have a narrow, long anal fin on their lower side next to the tail. Females tend to be more drab, with a triangular or fan-shaped anal fin. If you can identify their sex, you'll have an easier time telling whether two fish are fighting (typically two males or two females), or whether they are mating or preparing to mate (one male and one female). Some species are more difficult to tell apart, and may require an expert from an aquarium store. Different fish species can behave very differently during pair-bonding, amplexus, and other mating-related behaviors. In many species, including most gouramis, the male chases the females around energetically, sometimes even causing scrapes, bites, or other damage. In others, such as discus, a male and a female will work together to defend one area of the tank from other fish. In either case, when actual mating occurs, this may involve the male and female gripping each other, turning upside down, wriggling around each other, or more subtle activities that are difficult to see. The female fish will grow a bulge at the back of the abdomen. The abdomen typically grows over the course of 20–40 days, either into a large, rounded shape or a "boxy" shape.  Some species such as balloon mollies have a natural bulge further forward, just below the gills. Overweight males may develop a bulge in the front chest. If you skip feedings for two or three days, an overweight bulge may shrink, while a female's pregnancy bulge will not. Pregnant female fish...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте этот способ для живородящих пород. Научитесь определять самцов и самок. Обратите внимание на брачные игры. Проверьте появление выпуклостей при беременности. Ищите красное или черное пятно. Решите, как приготовиться к появлению молодых рыбок.


Gutters should be attached to the fascia and run the entire length of the roof, ending with a downspout. If a gutter run will measure longer than 40 feet (12 m), the gutter should be positioned to pitch down from the middle, aimed toward a downspout at each end. A fascia bracket will be attached to every other rafter tail, or approximately every 32 inches (81 cm).  Depending on the type of gutters you want, expect to pay anywhere from $2 to $6 per linear foot for aluminum gutters. Copper gutters could run as much as $20 per linear foot.  Expect to pay approximately $2 per linear foot for downspouts, and $6 to $10 each for the brackets that attach the gutters to the fascia. What good will installation be if the fascia holding your gutters up rots away? To inspect the fascia, poke at the ends of fascia boards, or where two ends of fascia boards meet. If it feels spongy or compromised, you may want to consider replacing the fascia before moving on. Think about replacing the fascia with more resistant material, or just sticking with wood. If you believe the rotting is caused by excessive moisture due to ineffective gutters, then wood might acceptable. (You are going to install working gutters, after all). If you believe the rot to be caused by other factors, consider choosing a material like aluminum or vinyl that withstands the elements a bit better than wood.

TL;DR in Russian:

Guys in fifth grade don't tend to take life too seriously; they just want a girl they can have fun with. They're not quite at the age when they want to spend all of their time alone with a girl, and they're not really ready for intense relationships. Instead, they want girls who are lighthearted, who have fun friends, and who are spontaneous and up for trying something new. If you like to worry or are more quiet by nature, then that's fine; you can't change yourself, but you can work on keeping up more fun, lively conversation, and cutting down on the negativity and complaints, if you do that.   It shouldn't be hard for you to burst into laughter. Don't hold back if something is funny and show that you're really having a great time. One way to be a fun person is to know how to make people feel at ease. Make eye contact with people, ask them easy questions about themselves, and introduce them to each other if they don't know each other. Make them feel at home, and they'll be more relaxed and more likely to have fun. If you want the boy to like you for a long time, or even for him to ask you out and date you, then you have to make an effort to be nice to his friends. Though it can be hard to be nice to his group of friends, especially if you really don't know any of them or if you're just a naturally shy person, you have to try as hard as you can to make a positive impression on the people that matter to him. If his friends think you're mean to them, too controlling, or just plain annoying, then they'll let him know how they feel and may be able to influence him. Unless they're really mean people, you should stay on their good sides and show them what a great catch you are.   If his friends are jerks, then you don't have to entertain them just for the sake of impressing him. But if they're nice guys, then you should try to be nice, too, even if you don't have all that much in common. Don't be frustrated if this takes a bit of work. It's only natural that a lot of girls and guys aren't super comfortable with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Весело проводите время вместе. Будьте добры к его друзьям. Не бросайте все ради него. Общайтесь, даже когда у вас нет занятий в школе. Не относитесь к себе слишком серьезно.


Guys often prefer what are called "shoulder-to-shoulder" friendships, meaning that they enjoy spending time doing things with their friends, rather than sitting face-to-face talking about things.  Examples of activities you could share include going to a museum, fixing your bike, or building a cool treehouse. Other things you might try could be checking out a farmer's market, going to the bookstore, or going to a concert. Everyone loves to have friends who make them feel good about themselves. You don't have to make a big deal out of it, but when you notice something your new guy friend is good at, mention it.   For instance, if he plays sports, you might say, "Nobody out there plays as hard as you when the game is on the line." Another example could be saying something like, "Do you have any recommendations for a new band to listen to? You always know the best music." You don't have to go overboard with this; just a little comment now and then will go a long way. Honesty and dependability are important traits in a strong friendship, and most guys highly value loyalty. If your friend tells you something private or personal, show him that he can trust you by keeping it to yourself. If you think your friend is in danger of hurting himself or someone else or is in serious trouble, talk to someone you trust. If someone is talking bad about your friend, making him feel uncomfortable, or spreading gossip about him, speak up. Sometimes it just takes one loyal friend to help a person stand up to a bully, and he might appreciate your support more than you know. If you hear someone bad-mouthing your friend, try saying something like, "He's actually a really nice guy, and he doesn't deserve to be treated like that." Don't pass up opportunities to hang out, even when you feel like saying no. If your guy friend invites you somewhere, it's because he thinks it would be fun to share an experience with you.  If your guy friend invites you to go to church with him, for instance, consider taking him up on the offer even if you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Находите совместные занятия. Подчеркивайте достоинства друга. Не распространяйтесь о личном. Становитесь на сторону друга. Принимайте приглашения. Разделяйте радостные моменты. Отправляйтесь на спонтанные приключения. Обсуждайте пошедшие встречи.


Guys want to be told by their partner what they should and shouldn't do physically because they won't always be able to figure it out on their own. His feelings will not be hurt, and it's not going to ruin the moment for him. If anything, it will be a relief so he knows the boundaries. Don't be aggressive with your words or actions. Be kind and gentle unless he takes "Matters into his own hand."    Skip the subtle signals and tell him exactly what's okay and what's not. Guys can have obsessions over their partners' eyes, hair, hands or other random body parts. If he likes it when you do something with your hair, do it a lot. If he loves your hands and he gives you a ring, wear it whenever you're with him. If he likes a more intimate part of your body, enjoy it. A lot of women would kill for the attention that he's paying to your body. Hold his hand with both your hands or wrap your arms around his. Put your hand on his face, run your fingers up and down his arm or hold his hand against your face or chest. It's okay to be affectionate with your man as long as you aren't being clingy. Affection is about devotion and love; clinging is about ownership. Follow his nonverbal signals to learn what he likes and doesn't like. If your man has a bad day at work, then give him a shoulder rub while he tells you about it. Say something sympathetic about his day, and tell him that you love and appreciate him. Stereotypes say that all men want is sex, but the truth is that they want to please you as much as they want to enjoy themselves. When you let him know that you enjoy the way he touches you, you'll deliver a major ego boost for him. Again, communicate what you like and what you don't. When he delivers what you like, do the same for him in return.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пусть он знает границы. Принимайте его навязчивые идеи. Будьте нежны. Используйте ваши прикосновения, чтобы успокоить его. Наслаждайтесь вашей сексуальностью.


Guys who are using a woman for sex often give few or no details about themselves. Have you gleaned what you know about him from friends, personal observation, general conversations, past interactions, or has he really volunteered personal and revelatory information about himself to you? This is a VERY telling point, so it is worth considering carefully. Does he get bored quickly when you discuss your work, your hobbies, your activities, general daily issues? Does he try to stop the discussion and turn it back into "fixing everything with a snuggle on the couch"?. If so, he might be pushing aside the emotional entanglement of a real relationship just so that he can keep open the using side without feelings of guilt. He could also present himself as a counselor and offer advice about all of your issues, but not disclose any of his so that you can be involved in his life. Have you never heard him randomly ask if you're upset, ask how your day was, or just wonder why you had tears in your eyes? If he seems absolutely allergic to your emotions, then chances are it's not because he's too shy to ask or too awkward to help you deal, but it's because, well, he just doesn't really care that much. If he's just into you for sex, then any of your complicated, messy feelings will be a hurdle for him and nothing more. This may seem like a no-brainer, but many women refuse to see what's right in front of their eyes, even if they hear it. If he has told you that he's just into casual dating, that he doesn't have time for anything serious, or that he's just not a relationship kind of guy, then he probably meant it. You might have brushed this aside, thought he was just trying to play hard to get, or were convinced that you could change him. Well, if he has specifically told you that he's essentially not interested in much more than sex, then you need to rethink your "relationship." Have you been hooking up for months and haven't ever talked about what you're going to do even a month from the day you see your guy, let alone...

TL;DR in Russian:

Он не делится личной информацией? Обратите внимание, как он себя ведет, когда вы говорите о себе. Он интересуется вашим самочувствием? Он говорит вам, что не хочет отношений? Говорит ли он с вами о вашем совместном будущем? Все, о чем он говорит — это секс?


Guys will often need a little bit of time to cool off before they want to talk about what's bothering them. Look at it this way: If he's upset that you've noticed, you know enough. There's not much need to pinpoint it. Make yourself available to listen, but don't try to pry.  Instead, say you noticed that he was upset. From there, your genuine concern will sometimes make a guy feel comfortable enough to come right out and say what's bothering him. It's probably not about you. If it is, you'll probably make it worse by prying into the issue. If you want him to talk about it, give him a chance to cool down a while, and stay calm. If your guy is still clamming up, show that you care and that you're there by talking about other things. Ask questions about your guy's day, talk about your own, and see if he starts to open up.  Talk about something he likes to talk about. If he's watching a game, give him a chance to rant for a while about what's going on. Show an interest in what he's interested in to help put him at ease. Even if you're not "having the talk," you are. Don't be pushy, but read the situation carefully. Some guys just need to be left alone for a few minutes to make the clear blue skies reappear, that's perfectly normal. Others need to vent, and that's also perfectly natural. Sometimes, you don't need to do anything special to help a guy cheer up but make yourself available. Just be there. Sit with him quietly and be together. Just watch a movie or relax, and let him process his grumpiness on his own. After a bit of silence, he may want to open up. Pay attention to his body language, actual words, read the context you're in, and tone. Sometimes, now is just not the time to talk, and silence is a great tool. When there's silence, people feel like breaking the silence. Let him take his time, and let him steer the conversation. If he starts unloading, just sit and listen. Allow him to vent. Once he does that, he'll feel like a huge burden has been lifted which is really half the battle. From here, you'll...

TL;DR in Russian:

Перестаньте постоянно спрашивать, из-за чего он расстроился. Поговорите о чем-нибудь другом. Просто будьте рядом. Когда он начнет разговор, внимательно его слушайте. Ваша цель – просто слушать, а не пытаться решить проблему.
