Better communication skills can help avoid a repeat of the silent treatment if it turns out that a miscommunication caused it in the first place. There are a few simple things you can do to improve your communication skills.  Stop and listen to what your friends are saying in a conversation, rather than rushing in to say what you want. Be honest in your conversations. If you don't want to do something, say so. If something bothers you, tell them about it. Pay attention to what they don't say. You can figure out a lot about how a person is feeling by their body language. If they don't make eye contact, seem distracted, or stand with their hands folded, they are likely upset. If it seems apparent that they are using the silent treatment to control or manipulate you, don't try again and again to fix things between you. After you have confronted the person who is giving you the silent treatment, you have done everything you can. Now, it is up to the other person to step up and begin communicating with you. If they don't, stop trying to talk to them about it. Instead, live your life as normally as possible. The silent treatment indicates that either they don't want to talk to you or they're trying to control you. In both cases, it's probably best to walk away from the relationship. If the person giving you the silent treatment is someone you work with, you probably can't just walk away. Instead, only interact with that person when it's absolutely necessary. Remain professional and calm, but don't go above and beyond in any way in your interactions with them.

Between 1/3 and 1/2 of your diet should consist of lean protein sources. Examples include poultry, fish, shellfish, lean cuts of pork and beef, and eggs. Try to have a palm-sized serving of protein with every meal.  For instance, include 3 eggs at breakfast, have a salmon fillet over greens for lunch, and eat a boneless, skinless chicken breast with steamed vegetables for dinner. If possible, go for wild-caught fish and shellfish and meats derived from grass-fed animals. Limit your consumption of red meat, since it can increase the risk of heart disease and other health issues. Go for chicken, fish, and other leaner options instead. Pile on 1 to 2 fist-sized portions of veggies with each meal, and try to eat a total of 4 cups (950 mL) daily. Include a variety of vegetable types and colors in your diet, and eat them both raw and cooked.  Mix up the veggies you consume every day. Scramble your eggs with spinach and onions in the morning, have mixed greens with cucumber and tomato for lunch, snack on baby carrots, and eat broccoli and peppers at dinner. Stricter paleo diets prohibit starchy vegetables, like potatoes, yams, and squashes. However, many paleo plans allow starchy veggies, and you should still include them in your diet. They're great sources of healthy carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin B. Include 1 to 3 daily servings of fruit in your diet. Since sweets and foods with added sugar aren't allowed, eating fruit is the best way to satisfy your sweet tooth.  While all fresh fruits are paleo-friendly, options that contain less sugar are preferred. Paleo-preferred fruits include berries, bananas, and melons.  Canned fruits are processed and contain added sugar, so they're not allowed. Unsalted nuts are good sources of protein, healthy fat, and fiber. Have a handful as a midday snack or use them as garnishes or toppings.  In addition to being great snack options, nut-based flours, like almond and coconut flour, are good substitutes for wheat-based flours. While nuts are paleo-approved, store-bought nut...

Between your new note and the welcome note that came with the program, you should have two notes displayed in the center column of the program. At the top of this column there's a drop-down menu and a text box.  To organize your notes by various parameters, use the drop-down menu. You can organize by tags, title, and more. Experiment with the options a little. To search for notes, type some text into the text box. Evernote will quickly scan all of your notes and display any that contain the text you typed. Evernote can even detect text printed on images, although this doesn't work reliably yet. Notebooks are collections of notes, organized by whatever criteria you want. Notebooks are listed in the left column.  Create a new notebook.  Name your new notebook whatever you want, and decide whether it will be accessible from all your devices, or local to this device only. The new notebook will appear in the list.  You can't change these parameters once the notebook is created. There are two ways to do this:  Right-click the top-level “Notebooks” entry and choose “Create notebook...” from the menu. Push the Insert key on your keyboard.   Drag your note into your new notebook. To display it, click “All notebooks” or your original notebook in the left column. Drag the note from the center column on top of your new notebook in the left column. In the left column, below your notebooks, there's a collapsible menu called “Tags.” Click it to see all the tags you've added to all your notes so far. Click on a tag to display all the notes with that tag in the center column. At the bottom of the left column there's a trash bin. Click on it to see any notes you've deleted.  To bring back a note that was deleted by accident, click the note in the center column, and then click “Restore” at the top of the right column. To permanently delete a note, click the note in the center column, and then click “Erase” at the top of the right column. You will be asked to confirm your decision before Evernote erases the note.

Beyond being unsightly, mold in your bathroom can contribute to health problems. Fortunately, getting rid of mold is not difficult. Add 1/2 cup (118 ml) of white vinegar to your toilet bowl or spray it directly onto mold. Then, scrub mold away with a toilet brush. Another tried-and-true product for removing mold is ordinary bleach. Add 1/4 cup (59 ml) of bleach to your toilet bowl, or spray diluted bleach directly onto mold. Then scrub mold away using a toilet brush. A less commonly-used, but still very effective product for removing mold is tea tree essential oil. Add 10 drops of tea tree essential oil to your toilet bowl or spray a tea tree oil solution (5-10 drops of oil to a bottle of water) directly onto any moldy spots. Scrub with a toilet brush. If left to sit for too long in your toilet, all 3 of these products could potentially damage the inner-workings. As such, it is important to flush these products out of your toilet system. After scrubbing with any of these products, be sure to flush the toilet at least 3 times.

Beyond incorporating vitamin-rich foods to your diet, you can boost your levels of Vitamins A, C, D, or E through supplements. Beta-carotene supplements are available without a prescription, but are typically used to treat skin conditions.  Work beta-carotene-rich foods into your diet before turning to supplements. Consult your doctor to see which, if any, supplements are right for you. Speak with your doctor about this process if you’re looking to treat vitiligo, eczema, psoriasis, or another condition. You may be prescribed a 10 mg (0.00035 oz) melanin tablet to take orally. This is followed by a photochemotherapy treatment involving exposure to UV light. Alternatively, the tablet can be dissolved in a bath and taken topically. The synthetic peptide hormone Melanotan II will speed up the body’s production of melanin. This results in a darker skin tone without any UV exposure. In consultation with your doctor, acquire the product legally with a prescription. You can use a sterile 27 gauge 1 mL (0.034  fl oz) needle to inject a dose (0.025 mg (8.8×10−7 oz) of the hormone per 1 kg (2.2 lb) of body weight) into your abdominal folds. Repeat this process on a weekly basis until you reach your desired skin tone.  Note that Melanotan-II is not FDA approved. It is typically sold online. However, sale and consumption are banned in the U.S., Europe, and Australia.  Dermatologists warn against taking these injections due to the unknown long-term effects.  Melanotan II was designed as an erectile dysfunction treatment. Be aware of the hormone’s ED-related effects.

TL;DR in Russian:

Beyond the hours of 9 to 5, there are a range of networking events you can attend. Saturday brunch or evening cocktail parties may serve as the perfect backdrop to pitch a new idea or pass out your business cards. Look up networking events in your area or put out feelers at work or in your professional organization to learn about after-hours events. Having a strong social support group makes you more resilient to stress and even builds self-esteem. If you tend to flake on your loved ones due to school or work commitments, use your leisure time to hang out and nurture your existing friendships. Plan a movie night, game night, or ice cream social. Call up a few friends or family members you never get to see and invite them to join in on the fun. Connecting with those you love is a wonderful way to spend your downtime. Helping out in your local community provides you with an opportunity to connect with others, do something meaningful, and even polish your resume. Think about an area of need in your community and find out how you can be of service. You might help plan a community event, work in a homeless shelter, or pick up trash after the annual carnival. If you are searching for interesting ways to fill your free time, do something kind for someone else. Random acts of kindness show those around you that you care, and they make you feel good about yourself, too. These acts can be anything, from dropping off fresh-baked muffins to your elderly neighbor or volunteering to watch your sibling’s kids so they can go on a date. Make a list of fun ways you can give back to those around you, and aim to complete one random act each day.

TL;DR in Russian:

Расширьте базу профессиональных контактов. Пригласите в гости друзей или родственников. Начните общественную деятельность на добровольных началах. Совершайте случайные акты доброты.


Beyond the physical level – the breathing and the movements that help you get in touch with your chi – truly developing your chi will take moving it to the mental and spiritual level. Chi kung is a disparate group of practices from different civilizations that are aimed at bringing your mind to a higher level of consciousness and unleashing the true power of your life force. This will help to bring you to the next level of chi. As you do your breathing and exercise of choice, focus on areas of your body where the energy is not flowing. These are energy blockages, and each one will require focus and determination to fix it and get the energy flowing as it should. Some people are able to get their energy moving by themselves through breathing and physical practice, but many of us need help and guidance when practicing energy work. One easy way to find out how your body energy is functioning is to take the diagnostic test below, which can help you identify the elements present in your body, and which are lacking and need to be remedied. For the assistance of a licensed Qigong practitioner, who will be able to help you to higher levels in your energy work, consult the website below. This is moving to the highest level of chi. It will encompass all of the work you have done so far – breath, physical movement, energy flow – and add the spiritual element. This will lead you to a state of mindfulness or focused awareness. Similar to the Zen practice of Buddhists, the spiritual aspect of developing your chi can be a lifelong pursuit. We might be able to achieve the state we are seeking one day, but the next cannot come near it. To truly realize this spiritual connection along with the physical and energy aspects, you must be fully grounded in the present moment and completely aware – it’s not about going to some different plane of consciousness. For most people, meditation is the best way of reaching this highest level of chi development.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите чи-кунг (цигун). Концентрируйтесь на энергии. Работайте над связью между телом, умом и душой.


Big shoulders became a hot fashion as more women found themselves entering the workplace. A square-cut suit jacket with heavy shoulder pads looks 1980s-professional, while a blouse or dress with thick shoulder pads works well for more casual looks. If shoulder pads aren't your thing, consider an oversized sweater, sweatshirt, or blouse. Look for one with a broad scoop neckline. Solid colors work best, but you may also consider a top with a gaudy geometric pattern. Denim mini-skirts work especially well, but leather and knit materials may also look fine. If selecting a colored skirt, go with a hot pink or other bright, neon color. These work especially well beneath mini-skirts and oversized sweaters that come down to the mid-thigh or lower. Look for solid colors or patterned tights with spots, stripes, textured lace, or other embroidered designs. These pants are made of a stretch knit fabric that tapers down toward the ankle. At the ankle, the pants have an elastic "stirrup" strap that fits under the heel. Choose a pair in any color or pattern, from black to neon orange. Look for an old pair with bleach marks or holes. Cut-offs with ragged edges also look appropriate for a classic 1980s look. This trend was especially popular in the early to mid decade. In the 1980s, leg warmers could be found in wool, cotton, and synthetic fiber blends. They came in a variety of colors, with brighter colors favored over duller, neutral hues. Wear leg warmers with nearly any bottom, whether you choose a mini-skirt or skinny jeans. ” Jellies, also called “jelly shoes,” were a type of brightly colored footwear made from PVC plastic. The shoes have a semi-transparent, glossy sheen, and were often infused with glitter. Most jellies were flats, but some had low heels. Adult women wore heels with the majority of their outfits, whether professional or casual. Select a pair of pointed toe sling-backs with a high, slender heel. Go with white or black for a versatile option, or consider a bright yellow or pink if you want to play on the...

Bigger is better when it comes to a skink's tank. Skinks need lots of room to roam to be healthy and happy. Hatchlings can be comfortable in a 10 to 20 gallon (37.9 to 75.7 L) tank. If you have a larger skink, make sure the tank is at least 30 to 40 gallons (110 to 150 L). If you have the space or money for a bigger tank, it's always nice for a skink to have extra room to roam. Substrate is the substance used to fill the bottom of a tank. It's important to use a substrate that's comfortable for your skink. At least 6 inches (15.2 cm) of a quality substrate is necessary for your skink.  A mixture of soil, sand, and wood chips is usually a good option. If you have a pet store near you that sells reptiles, you may be able to find a substrate specifically for skinks there. Make sure to keep the substrate damp. The substrate should not be soaking wet, but it should have some moisture. Skinks require a somewhat humid environment. Skinks require both a warm and cool end of their tank. Reptiles keep their bodies warm and cold by shifting between two different environments.  One area of the tank should be slightly above room temperature. A few UV lightbulbs near the cooler end of the tank should keep it warm enough. Make sure not to place the tank anywhere in your house where it gets very cold or very hot during certain times of the day. Another area should be around 90 degrees. You can get an under tank heating device, which you can purchase at a pet store. You can also use an overhead heating lamp. If you use both, turn the heating lamp off at night. The tank does not need to be extremely humid, and does not require regular misting like other reptile tanks. Damp substrate should keep the tank humid, but you also need to provide your skink with a water bowl. Get a shallow water bowl for the tank big enough for your skink to lie down in. Skinks will get bored or anxious if they don't have hiding spaces in their tank. Stop by your local pet store and get things like hidey holes and other enclosures. Place these around...

Bikes are expensive, and you don't want buy a new one simply because you felt like saving money on the first one. If you're serious about biking, whether it is mountain, road, touring, or commuting, spending a little extra on a good bike now will save you money in the long-term. Ask yourself-- what is your fitness level now, and what do you want it to be? You should get a bike somewhere in the middle.  Beginner or intermediate mountain bikers might start with gentle trails that don't require good suspension, but if you love the sport you will quickly want to move up to harder trails that require a better bike. Road riders might be fine to start with a heavier, cheaper bike, but you'll suffer on group rides or races as you get more experienced. The frame is the most expensive part of the bike, and should be your first concern. Brakes, gears, wheels, and handlebars can all be swapped out or upgraded later. That said, good components resist wear and tear and lead to smoother riding. These bikes come in a variety of shapes and purposes, but they share one thing in common -- they aren't made for long distances. If mountain or road bikes seem too specific for you, you should try out the following bikes instead. They usually come in standardized measurements (S, M, L, XL), so pick one that lets you comfortable reach the handlebars. Your knee should be slightly bent at the bottom of your pedal stroke.   Fixed Gear: Simple, light bikes made almost entirely for urban cruising, they offer you no extra gears. They are easy to maintain and ride, though they perform best on flat terrain.  Cruiser: Also known as "beach bikes" or "comfort bikes," these bikes are made for comfort, with high handlebars that let you ride almost completely upright.  Hybrids: Great commuting or urban bikes, hybrids have bigger tires than road bikes but similar geometry, keeping them light and speedy while allowing you get over bumps and cracks with ease. Shopping for bikes online is a great way to get the perfect bike for you and potentially save...

Bikini-area hair tends to be a little coarser than other body hair, so it might be difficult to take it off with the type of razor that comes 10 to a pack. Instead, pick out a high-quality razor designed for use on sensitive skin. Use a razor with new, sharp blades, since using a dull razor can cause chafing and ingrown hairs.  A men's razor is better to shave your bikini area. They are usually sturdier and have more than one blade, unlike women's razors. They remove hair easily while taking good care of sensitive skin. (You can usually distinguish the two types by color. Men's razors are usually white. Women's razors are usually pink or pastel-colored.) Avoid using a razor that has just one blade, unless it is a very sharp safety razor. Razors with just one blade have a tough time removing hair in the bikini area. Look for one with three or four blades so you will get a closer cut. A brand-new razor that has never been used before will be sharper than a used one. If you have to use a lower quality disposable razor, using a brand new one every time you shave the bikini line will yield best results. You can always use the used razor for armpits and legs. The type of cream or soap you use does not really matter, as long as you use something. Pick your preference: body wash, shaving cream, or even hair conditioner all work equally well. Soaps and creams that contain fragrances can sometimes be irritating to sensitive skin.  Test the product on another, less sensitive part of your body before you use it in your bikini area. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and determine where you want the cutoff to be. The bikini line is a little different on every woman, but in most cases you will remove any hair that would be exposed if you were wearing bikini bottoms. That includes hair on your upper thighs, around the groin and below the belly button.  For a simple shaving guideline, bring a pair of your underwear into the shower. Wear them while shaving. Anything peeking up below the seams should be removed. (Note: this...

Bikinis are meant to bare a lot of skin, so go ahead and get undressed. Remove your bra and underwear, too. Don't attempt to wear your bikini over underwear, since it will be nearly impossible to keep your underwear from peeking out when you're active at the beach or pool. Bikini bottoms usually provide the same amount of coverage as bikini-style underwear. The top edge of the bikini bottoms should sit along your hips, crossing over each hip bone below your belly button. In the back, they should hug your bottom tightly. Depending on the style you're wearing, they'll provide either full or partial cheek coverage.  Your bikini bottoms should not sag or droop. If they feel loose, you need a smaller size. They also shouldn't cut into your skin and cause bulging. If they do, try a size up. Put on the top as you would put on a bra, fastening the band around your chest first. It might help to put the top on backward so you can fasten the band in the front, then slide it around to position it correctly with the cups in the front.  If it's a string bikini, first tie a tight knot, then tie the ends in a bow. Tie it so that the bikini will stay in place, but not so tight that it cuts off your circulation. If the band of your bikini top is loose enough to easily slip your hand through, either tie it tighter or go down a size. If it's so tight that you feel uncomfortable, go up a size. Rest your breasts right in the center of each cup, to keep them securely in place there. Make sure the fabric of the cups completely covers your breasts; if they feel tight, or your breasts and bulging out from the sides, you might want to go up a size. If they feel loose, try a size lower or choose a padded top. Here are the different types of bikini tops, and how to fasten them properly:  Triangle top: This style provides the least amount of support and coverage, and it works best for smaller breasts. Make sure your breasts are positioned in the centers of the triangles. If your top has sliding triangles, slide them over your breasts to...

Bilbo Baggins went on an adventure and now it's your turn. Build a complex world with all the standard fantasy environments, like a haunted forest or a dangerous mountain. When you're done, you can go on your own epic quest and write about your adventures. Build yourself a water environment with a big island, a pirate port complete with pub, and a pirate ship out on the high seas! You can even put interesting things on your island, like a Temple of Doom. Use obsidian blocks in creative mode to create a huge black space, then use plans or codes to generate huge spheres to make the planets. You can then make a spaceship floating between the planets to live in. Fill a glass sphere with lava to make the sun! Make a huge volcano filled with lava. Bonus points if you build yourself an evil lair under the volcano. Glass can be used to hold back the lava and you can use it for lighting inside your lair. Build Avatar style trees in the biggest scale you can, and then fill the roots, trunk, and branches with homes and pathways. Then invite your friends over to have an Ewok style party!

Binary numbers are simply strings of 1's and 0's, such as 101001, 001, or even just 1. If you see this kind of string it is usually binary. However, some books and teachers further denote binary numbers through a subscript "2", such as 10012, which prevents confusion with the number "one thousand and one." This subscript denotes the "base" of the number. Binary is a base-two system, octal is base-eight. There are two different binary numbers and only eight octal. Since 23=8,{\displaystyle 2^{3}=8,} you'll need three binary numbers to designate each octal number. Start from the right to make your groups. For example, the binary number 101001 would break down to 101 001. The binary number 10011011 has eight digits, which, though not a multiple of three, can still convert to octal. Just add extra zeros to your front group until it has three places. For example:   Original Binary: 10011011  Grouping: 10 011 011  Adding Zeros for Groups of Three: 010 011 011 Each of the three binary numbers in a set stands for a place in the octal number system. The first number is for a 4, the second a 2, and the third a 1. To keep things straight, write these numbers underneath your sets of three binary numbers. For example:  010 011 011421 421 421  001421  110 010 001421 421 421  Note, if you're looking for a shortcut, you can skip this step and just compare your sets of binary numbers to this octal conversion chart. If there is a one above the "4," then your octal number has a 4 in it. If there is a 0 above the one's place, the octal number does not have a one in it, so leave a blank, zero, or dash. As seen in an example:   Problem: Convert 1010100112 to octal.   Separate into threes: 101 010 011   Add placeholders: 101 010 011421 421 421   Mark each places: 101 010 011421 421 421401 020 021 Once you know what places are in the octal number, simply add up each set of three individually. So, for 101, which turns into 4, 0, and 1, you end up with 5 (4+0+1=5{\displaystyle 4+0+1=5}). Continuing the example above:   Problem:...

Binary options are enormously popular in Europe and are extensively traded in major European exchanges, like EUREX. In the United States there are a few places where binary options can be traded:  The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) offers binary options trading on the Target Fed Funds Rate. To trade these contracts, traders must be members of the exchange. Other investors must trade through a member. The value of each contract is $1,000. Nadex is a U.S.-regulated binary options exchange. Nadex offers a range of expiration opportunities (hourly, daily, weekly) that allow traders to take a position based on market developments. The choice is vast with over 2,400 binary option contracts each day. These range from popular currency pairs (such as Great Britain Pound/USD) to key commodities like gold and oil. Members' funds are held in a segregated U.S. bank account  in accordance with Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations, adding an extra layer of security. Binary options brokers should not charge any per-trade fees, nor should they collect any commissions. You should also understand the percentage of time would you have to be correct in order to profit from the binary option you are considering.  For example, if you were buying into options at for $40 each and each one has a settlement value of $100 if you are correct, you would need to be correct 2 out of 5 times to break even, and more often than that to turn a profit (cost: 5*$40=$200, return: 2*$100=$200). Screen several brokers before making a selection. Each broker is going to provide his or her own trading platform, contract terms, assets, return rates, and educational resources. Each of these elements can have an impact on overall earnings potential. It is extremely rare and difficult to outperform the market consistently. That means that options traders typically have to engage in many transactions in order to wind up with a profitable position. Consequently, a trader faces the possibility of high transaction costs and lower profits....

Binders offer great opportunities to express yourself artistically, especially if you've covered your binder in paper or fabric that's easy to draw on. Consider simply using your binder as a doodling surface — whenever you get bored, simply add a new sketch or design to it. This way, your binder will gradually get more detailed and unique over time.  Sharpie markers will draw on nearly any surface (even the slick plastic of a binder) and come in a variety of colors. If drawing on paper, nearly any pen or marker will work. If you covered your binder in fabric, try fabric pens or markers. If you're not content with the simple, messy look of a doodled binder cover, spend a little more time making a deliberate, detailed drawing or sketch. This will take a little more skill and effort, but the results can be quite impressive. You can pick anything for your drawing, from a simple still-life scene (like a single object) to a detailed landscape — it just depends how much time you'd like to spend on your project!  If you choose a neutral colored paper in a mid-range grey or brown, you may be able to create more nuanced shading and shadow-effects. Use graphite and/or charcoal pencils for mid to dark lines, and you can use a white colored pencil for highlights.  Once you're done with your sketch, you may want to protect it by carefully covering it with see-through tape. You can also use a protective spray (which are usually available at art supply stores and sold as "workable matte" or "workable fixatif"). Painting takes a little more deliberate effort than drawing or doodling, but the colorful results can be amazing (especially if you're willing to take your time.) However, if you want to avoid the paint leaking through your cover to your binder, strongly consider taking the cover off first and painting it over a protective surface, like newspaper.  Most basic acrylic and watercolor paints should work well on paper covers. Fabric, on the other hand, may require special fabric paints or even puff paints. Check your...

Binge eating involves consuming food very quickly. Slowing down and taking time to focus on the food itself, however, (how it tastes, temperature, etc.) can sometimes help calm the craving to overeat. This type of mindful eating has become a well-known technique for easing over consumption, touted by physicians, celebrities and chefs alike.  Don't eat while standing up or in the car or when you're trying to do something else. Sit down for your meals. Try to avoid situations in which you feel you must "scarf down" your food. Stop and put your fork down between each bite.  Fully chew your food and swallow before picking up your fork again.  Allow yourself to feel the texture of the food and notice its flavor and smell. It is possible that you are not eating in response to stress or any other emotion — you may simply be overeating because you are too distracted to listen to your body's signals.  Avoid distractions while eating — turn off the tv and computer, put down your book — and focus on your plate and how your body feels. Researchers have discovered that eating while watching tv routinely leads to the consumption of fewer fruits and vegetables and more fast food, sodas and unhealthy snacks. We are creatures of habit. Using a different plate or sitting in a another place besides your usual spot might give you that extra boost of alertness you need to stop eating at the right time. As one registered dietitian notes, small things like altering the time you eat and reducing the size of your dinner plate can add up to big changes over time.

Bingo scorecards have 25 randomly numbered squares on them, with the word "BINGO" written across the top. Your goal is to cover 5 of those squares in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row.  You can find Bingo scorecards online at your local hobby store. If you're playing Bingo with kids, you can print blank Bingo scorecards from off the internet and write in your own words, symbols, or pictures in the squares. In standard Bingo, there are 75 different letter-number combinations. Each letter-number combination corresponds with a square on the scorecards.   For example, all of the numbers in the "B" column on the scorecard correspond with "B" letter-number combinations. If the caller chooses "B-9," you would look for the "9" square under the "B" column. If you're looking for a simpler version of Bingo to play with kids, you can use pictures or words instead of letter-number combinations. In Bingo, the caller is the person that reads out the letters and numbers that determine which squares get covered on everyone's scorecards. The caller still gets to play the game with everyone else. If you're playing at a Bingo hall, there will already be a designated caller. In that case, the caller will not be playing with everyone else. Each player needs at least 1 scorecard. Players can use more than 1 scorecard, as long as they can keep track of all the letters and numbers on the different cards.  Playing with multiple scorecards increases your chances of winning, but it's trickier since you have more squares to keep track of. When you're playing with multiple scorecards, it's possible to win on more than one scorecard in the same game. In Bingo, the square in the center of everyone's scorecard is considered a free space. Everyone starts out with 1 chip over that space. These letters and numbers can be written down on small pieces of paper and then folded up, or you can use actual Bingo balls that have letters and numbers on them. They just need to correspond with the letters and numbers on the scorecards.  Put the...

Biofeedback is an alternative treatment method for patients suffering from diseases relating to the immune system. Crohn’s disease is sometimes triggered by an overly sensitive immune system, which causes severe inflammation in the small intestines as well as generalized abdominal pain.  Therefore, biofeedback could be an effective method in controlling the symptoms of Crohn’s disease. In this method of treatment, the patient is usually hooked to a machine that transmits electric signals to gain feedback from the body’s responses to the sent signals. This information regarding our body’s feedback is used by the doctor to adjust the frequency and intensity of the electrical signals to be sent in future treatments. The machine then converts these signals to cue the body on a better reaction and response with regards to the abnormalities the body is currently experiencing. The theory behind biofeedback is to allow the body to adapt better and to heal faster the natural way in combating Crohn’s disease. Your doctor may recommend more or less frequent sessions depending on how severe your Crohn’s disease is. Acupuncture has its origin in traditional Chinese medicine. With acupuncture, fine needles are inserted into the skin at certain key locations around the body.  The acupuncturist determines the key anatomical areas where the needles are to be inserted. This promotes the body’s release of endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers), helping to control the pain and inflammation in the digestive system. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes and defenses, the acupuncturist aims to boost the body’s immune system in fighting off infection and inflammation, as well as to reduce symptoms of Crohn’s disease. Experiment with acupuncture sessions at least once a month to see if the symptoms of Crohn's disease improve. Homeopathy is a special branch of alternative medicine where diluted substances derived from plants, animals, and other substances are used for the treatment of certain diseases, such as...

Biological changes make teens and adolescents susceptible to the following sleep disorders  Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea: caused by illness or allergies that enlarge adenoids and tonsils. GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease.  Restless leg syndrome: Restless leg syndrome: a movement disorder, causing involuntary movement, preventing REM sleep. Parasomnias: the most common are insomnia, somnambulism (sleep walking), and night terrors. Bedwetting: Symptomatic of other developmental delays, it creates anxiety, preventing a child from sleeping. Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome: a delay in biorhythms, meaning that even if a teen or adolescent goes to bed, it may not be possible to sleep. During adolescence, the body's circadian rhythm (a kind of internal  clock) is reset. This biological clock tells teens to fall asleep later at night, and  then wake up later in the mornings. This change in the circadian rhythm seems to be due to the fact that the brain hormone melatonin is produced later at night in teens than it is for kids and adults. So, teenagers really do often have a harder time falling asleep — and there's nothing they can do to change that. In addition to grogginess and difficulty waking, there are physical and mental effects of sleep deprivations, such as:  Impaired memory and learning.  Reduced mental health.  Reduced academic outcomes.  Shortened attention span.  Impaired motor skills.  Increased instances of acne.  Decreased metabolism and obesity. Sleep deprivation has a profound impact on neurocognitive function, especially when this deficit occurs over the long term, and especially in adolescent and teen populations.The human brain develops faculties related to logical, systematic thinking between the years of 12 to 18. These skills don't just apply to completing school work.Problem-solving is a universal cognitive skill that affects all aspects of our lives. It is therefore necessary that teens develop and maintain healthy sleep habits to ensure they live up to their full potential as adults....

Biology can be complicated, but it is also very interesting if you take a step back to think about what you're studying. Having the right attitude can make it more fun to study. It will still be difficult, but if you're interested in what you're learning, it won't feel like such a burden.  It can be helpful to connect biological concepts to real-world situations. Think about how your body works. How do your muscles work together to allow you to move? How does your brain communicate with those muscles to tell your body to take a step? It's very complex, but all of the cells in your body work together to keep you healthy. Biology teaches you all about these processes and how they work. That's pretty fascinating if you think about it. You might find the vocabulary of biology complicated and difficult to spell. However, most words in this subject come from Latin, and have a prefix and suffix. Knowing the prefixes and suffixes that compose the terms can help you spell difficult words and grasp their meaning.  For example, the word "glucose" can be separated into two parts, "gluc" means sweet, and "-ose" means sugar. As "-ose" means sugar, you know maltose, sucrose, and lactose are sugars as well.  The term "endoplasmic reticulum" seems difficult. However, if you know "endo" means "within/inside," "plasmic" means cytoplasm, and "reti" stands for net, you will know that it is a net-like structure that is found inside the cytoplasm. Flashcards are one of the best ways to learn the meanings of the many words you'll come across in biology. You can carry them around with you and study them at any time. In the car on the way to school is a great time to flip through your flashcards. While the process of making flashcards is a helpful way to study, the cards themselves are only useful if you actually study them as well.  At the beginning of each new unit, identify the vocabulary words that you don't know and make flashcards of them. Study these cards all throughout the unit and by the time the test comes, you will know...

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь позитивно воспринимать биологию. Разбейте сложные слова на несколько частей. Чтобы быстрее выучить терминологию, сделайте карточки. Рисуйте и чертите. Прочитайте тему еще раз перед уроком. Изучение биологии основывается на концепции от общего к частному.


Biology textbooks have really good questions at the end of each chapter that reinforce the concepts that you need to understand from the material. Try answering the questions and see how many you can get through. Take note of the questions that are more difficult to answer. Revisit your notes on these topics and/or reread that part of the chapter.  If you're having a lot of difficulty answering these questions, seek extra help from your classmates or teacher. Avoid walking out of class and forgetting about everything you just learned. Reviewing your notes later that evening or the next day can help you synthesize what you have learned. When reviewing, ask yourself if everything makes sense. If something stands out that confuses you, reread the material on that concept in your textbook. If it still doesn't make sense, ask your teacher about it in the next class. Because biology can be difficult for many students, you must put in the time to do well. If you set aside time every night or every other night for biology, you will get into the good habit of frequently studying. You will thank yourself later when you don't have to cram for the exam because you have been reviewing everything this whole time.  Stick to your study schedule and make it a habit. If you skip 1 day, be sure to get back on track the next day and not let yourself slip into not studying multiple days in a row. Even if you're busy, plan to spend 15 minutes per day reviewing your notes. This can make a big difference! Creating mnemonic devices can be really helpful when studying biology. For instance, you could create a mnemonic to help you remember the order of the substrates in the Krebs cycle. A phrase like, “Citrate Is Krebs Starting Substrate For Making Oxaloacetate” can make it easier to remember Citrate, Isocitrate, Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Succinyl CoA, Succinate, Fumarate, Malate, Oxaloacetate. If you have access to exams from previous years, try taking them and see how much of you get right. If you don't have access to these, study your...

Bird spikes are strips of small, thin rods that jut up toward the sky. Generally made from plastic or steel, the spikes will not hurt the birds but will remove their perching spots. Birds spikes are particularly effective when protecting thin areas like gutters and ledges. Bird spikes are popular deterrents that you can often find at garden and home improvement stores. Bird spiders, also known as 360 deterrents, are perch prevention devices made from a series of long, floppy rods connected to a central hub. The rods are incredibly thin and fan out over a wide area, making it impossible for birds to land. Bird spiders are often used in boating, so look for them at marine storefronts in addition to pest control shops. Available from pest control and home improvement stores, bird repellent gel is a non-noticeable deterrent that turns your roof into an uncomfortable perch. Applied similarly to hot glue, the gel makes your tiles or shingles feel sticky, causing any feathered friends to flee.  Expect to reapply the gel every 6 to 8 months. Check the gel’s warning label for information on whether it is dangerous to other animals. If you’re dealing with an entire flock of birds, individual deterrents may not be good enough. Instead, purchase a long roll of bird netting from a garden or pest control store. When pulled over your entire roof, the netting will prevent birds from making a solid landing, keeping them away from the area.  Each net you buy will come with different installation recommendations, so read the included instructions carefully. If you can’t afford to cover the whole roof, protect important areas like the top of your chimney.

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите противоптичьи шипы в самых популярных местах, где садятся птицы. Поместите отпугиватель под названием «паук», чтобы птицы перестали садиться на крышу. Нанесите на черепицу и шифер гель для отпугивания птиц. Расстелите на крыше сетку, чтобы убрать все места, на которые садятся птицы.


Birds can be hard to find because they’re small enough to hide under a lot of household items, but they can also fly up out of your line of vision. Finding them could require that you do some extensive searching. Start by verifying that they are not any place dangerous.  Dangerous hideouts include water glasses, bathrooms, doorways, window, stoves, and sofas. Hard to find hideouts include curtain rods, plants, lamps, mantels, ceiling fans, picture frames, and underneath furniture. They can also hide inside objects like laundry baskets, boxes, and drawers. Birds understand body language so screaming or frantic movement will cause them to be as anxious as you are. To ease their nerves you should speak softly and move at a normal pace. Your bird will be more likely to fly back to its cage if it likes being there. The cage should be someplace near where people congregate, so that it stays interested, but should also be away from windows, which birds believe leave them susceptible to danger. Have a variety of toys in the cage to make it interesting. Finally, give your bird a special treat whenever it goes into the cage.  Do not give the bird the same treat on any occasion other than returning to the cage, else it might find going back to the cage less special.  Never use time in the cage as punishment; this will create negative associations with the cage. It is a bad idea to give your bird food outside of the cage, because this encourages it to believe that it will never need to go back to the cage for anything. Similarly, reserve the bird’s favorite toys for inside the cage. Finally, don’t build up the expectation that your bird can be outside all the time. Instead of letting it out all day once a week, try to establish a consistent amount of daily time out of the cage to manage expectations.  While you don’t want to make the outside too inviting, you should make sure that your bird gets a good amount of exercise out of the cage. It’s good for its health and a tired bird will be easier to put back in the cage. ...

Birds can carry a lot of gross diseases, so it’s important to protect yourself even when you’re trying to help the bird. Never pick up a wild bird with your bare hands. Wear protective gloves and wash your hands immediately after handling the bird. You should wear gloves even if it is a domestic pet bird that is injured, as hurt birds may be frantic and lash out at you if they are feeling vulnerable and in pain.  It’s best to use thick canvas or cloth gloves – like those used in gardening. These will be the most effective in protecting you from the bird’s beak and claws, as well as from any potential diseases the bird might be carrying. If you don’t have any gloves handy, try using a towel to pick up the bird. If the injured bird is a large bird of prey, you are best off not handling it at all. Instead, call the animal control or a bird rescue organization in your area. Even small birds have sharp beaks and talons. Whenever you are handling an injured bird, always keep it away from your face to protect yourself. Even your own pet bird might snap at you if it is hurt and feeling scared. A bird with a broken wing will likely feel more vulnerable and might lash out at you with its beak or claws. An injured bird will typically be too scared to eat or drink. You should try to take quick action to get the bird the help it needs, so you shouldn’t need to provide it with food or water in the short time the bird is in your care. It’s easy for an injured bird to choke on water when it is force-fed. Don’t do this.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте перчатки при обращении с птицей. Не подносите птицу слишком близко к лицу. Не давайте птице есть и пить.


Birds that don’t spend much time outside probably will not recognize their home. However, your bird may be drawn back home by the sound of their bird calls. You can also try leaving your bird’s cage along with lots of your bird’s favorite food on your front lawn or doorstep. Your bird will be drawn to the familiar cage (and his favorite food). If you can purchase a trap at a pet store and place it outside with food.  This will draw them in. Otherwise, you can try placing an extra cage on your roof with some food and watch for signs of your bird. Either way, it should be placed as high as possible, because birds prefer to be in the air.  Check frequently, because your bird will likely panic when captured. You will want to use what is called a "live trap," which traps the bird without causing physical harm to it. Typically, this will be a cage trap, which, like it sounds, is a cage that will trap any bird that steps inside. It is extremely probable that a domesticated bird left in the wild for an extended period of time will contract some sort of illness or suffer from malnutrition. Take your bird to a vet as soon as possible to check for any problems. Don’t be disheartened if your bird doesn’t reappear immediately though. Some birds can live for years in the wild.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте клетки с другими птицами возле открытого окна. Установите ловушку. После того, как поймаете птицу, покажите ее ветеринару-орнитологу.


Birds thrive in large cages, so opt for the largest cage that your housing space can accommodate. A general rule of thumb is that the width of the cage should be at least twice the wingspan of your bird. For some birds, being able to fly short distances within the cage may be an important part of ensuring it has a healthy living space. Some other fairly standard requirements include:  The cage bars should not be too small; the bird's talons might get caught on or in them if the bar wires or lengths are too small. Equally, the bars should not be so large that the head of the bird could get trapped or the bird could squeeze through and escape. The bigger the space in the cage, the better. Although bird cages that are bigger tend to be harder to clean and are more expensive, if you are not in the house often or don't have time to take the bird out for exercise, space in their cage is critical. Small cages can lead to behavior problems. Circle cages are bad for the bird. There is hardly any space for the bird, and no corners to feel safe in. Moreover, the circle tends to cause the bird to twist its head; the bird can develop behavioral problems from the constant turning and turning. Do not buy guillotine-styled doors, since they are easier for the bird to escape from. Never house more than one bird in a small cage. Birds need space to retreat, forage, fly and be apart from other birds, so the more birds being kept, the larger the cage must be. Aviaries (large cages that are akin to small sheds) are more appropriate for keeping several birds at the same time. If keeping different species of birds, you'll need to be sure that the animals are compatible when placed together. Cages should be kept indoors, and in a room with frequent traffic. Birds are social animals, and will become unhappy if isolated in a room. Also remember that you'll be cleaning out the cage frequently, so hang it somewhere that you can access easily.  Birds in hanging cages can often be transported outdoors to hang under a porch or similar...

Birkenstocks are made to last. A clean sole is crucial for retaining a pair of Birkenstocks for many years. This part of the shoe becomes the smelliest the quickest. Each pair of Birkenstocks use the same type of sole, so you can clean them the same way. The easiest way to discolor the footbed of your Birkenstocks is with dirt and grass. Wash the footbed every three weeks with a damp cloth. Let them dry overnight. If you get them muddy, treat them that night with a damp cloth. Don't over saturate the footbed. You can create a great cleaner for the sole's of your Birkenstocks by using baking soda and water. Combine two tablespoons of water with one tablespoon of baking soda. The aftermath should be a paste consistency.  Add more baking soda if it is too watery.  Gently scrub the paste onto the footbed using an old toothbrush. Scrub in a circular motion and wash off with a damp washcloth. Allow your shoes to dry before attempting to clean them further. Always avoid direct sunlight for drying purposes.

Birth control pills contain progesterone and estrogen, two hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle and determine how heavy your period is each month. Taking birth control pills causes many people to experience lighter, shorter periods. If your period is particularly heavy and you're ready to manage it with medication, this might be the right option for you.  Talk to your doctor about getting a birth control pill prescription. Everyone's body is different, and there are a lot of different types of pills designed to cater to different needs. Make an appointment with your doctor or go to your local health clinic to get the prescription that's right for you. Take the pill according to instructions. If you skip a few days, you might end up experiencing a heavy or irregular period - not to mention, the pill will no longer be effective as a birth control measure. Be sure to take the pill every single day, at the same time every day, to experience the benefits you're looking for. The Pill isn't the only type of birth control that can work to regulate your period. If you don't want to take a pill every day, consider these other options that will have the same benefits as the standard birth control pill:  The birth control patch. This is usually placed on the arm, back or thigh. It distributes the same hormones as the Pill, only they're absorbed through your skin. The patch has to be changed every few weeks.  The birth control ring. This is a small ring inserted into the vagina and changed out once a month. It releases hormones into the bloodstream.  A hormonal intrauterine device (IUD). This is a small metal device that is implanted in the uterus by a health care provider. It releases hormones into the uterus and works for up to 12 years. The IUD causes some people to miss periods or have lighter periods, but for others it can make periods irregular. If you would prefer not to have your period at all, there are now options that will let you eliminate it altogether. Several drug companies make pills that create...

Birth control pills work by either keeping eggs from leaving the ovaries or making cervical mucus thicker which keeps sperm from travelling to the eggs. There are several different brands your health care provider can recommend one that is best for your health and sexual activity.  Discuss side effects and risks associated with any birth control you are prescribed. For example, women over 35 who smoke are more susceptible to blood clots when they take birth control pills. Birth control pills require you to diligently take the medication at the same time, every day. A missed dose could potentially increase the likelihood of pregnancies if sex is engaged in the period it is missed. The birth control shot, or Depo-Provera, is an injection of synthetic hormones that protects you from pregnancy. You will need to get a shot every 12 weeks.  Depo-Provera releases a hormone called progestin which prevents the body from releasing eggs into the uterus and thickening the cervix mucus wall to prevent sperm from travelling. Always discuss health risks and side effects whenever you decide to take birth control. Dubbed as the Morning-After Pill, emergency contraceptives work by preventing eggs from being released from the ovary for longer than usual. This ensures that any rogue sperm dies off or is expelled from your body. These are most effective when used within 3 days of unprotected sex. Emergency contraception cannot be used as a regular way to prevent pregnancy.  Purchase emergency contraception in pill form over the counter at a pharmacy. Over-the-counter emergency contraception comes in 1 pill dose of Levonorgestrel (called Plan B One-Step, Next Choice One Dose, After Pill, Take Action, and My Way). Take the pill as directed. A 2-pill dose of emergency contraception requires a prescription.  Another type of emergency contraception is a copper intrauterine device (IUD). It’s a T-shaped device that is inserted in the uterus by a healthcare provider. This form of emergency contraception can be used up to 5 days (120...

Birth control pills, also called oral contraceptives, are pills that are ingested orally and contain hormones. When taken correctly, the pill is 99.9% effective in preventing pregnancy.  Birth control pills must be taken every day, preferably at the same time. If you are trying to hide this from your parents, take them at a time when you know you will be alone, like in the morning or at night. If you spend the night elsewhere, make sure you take your pills with you to prevent missing one. Find a safe, private place to hide your pills. Parents are most likely to check bathroom cabinets, nightstands, and under the mattress. Instead, try something more creative. Put it in a DVD case or an old textbook. Place it in a coin purse, or in the pocket of your purse. Keep it in a sock in your drawer. Make sure the hiding place isn't conspicuous or obvious to a parent who may go snooping. Even if you don't have insurance, most birth control prescriptions range from $15-$50.  Ask your doctor for a free trial. They might give you for up to three months free. Oral contraceptives do not prevent STDs. This is extremely important to remember. Just because you are preventing yourself from getting pregnant does not mean you are protected from STDs and HIV. An IUD, an intrauterine device, is a small T-shaped plastic device inserted into the uterus. IUD's must be inserted by a health care professional. They are extremely successful in preventing pregnancies.  IUDs can be hidden from your parents. The only person who will know you have an IUD is your partner.  IUDs are long-term contraceptives. They can last between 5-12 years. They are removable, but it is not recommended to remove them on a whim. Choosing an IUD is a serious commitment. The price of an IUD varies. They range from $0-1000. Talk to your health care provider to make sure this is the right choice for you. IUDs do not prevent STDs or HIV. If pills require too much dedication, and an IUD is too much of a commitment, try one of these other methods. They might be a...

Birth control works by suppressing your body's fertility and temporarily eliminating menstruation. Some people take birth control solely for the purpose of shortening the duration and frequency of their periods. Talk to your doctor to determine whether birth control is safe for you.  The amount of periods you get each year will depend on the type of birth control you take. For some people, birth control can cause unexpected bleeding (spotting) in between periods. Just about every form of birth control (hormonal IUD, the implant, the shot, the pill, the patch, and the ring) can make your period lighter. It won’t make it go away right now, but it can stop problems from arising later. Talk to your doctor about whether or not any of these options are right for you. If for some reason you don’t wish to have your period at all, many people report their period lapsing after taking the shot for about a year. If you’re on the pill, it’s relatively safe to skip the blanks and go straight into another packet. This way, you won't experience your period at all.  With the approval of your doctor, this can be safe. Just know that you may have breakthrough bleeding if you rely on this method too long or too often. It can also give you some wonky physical symptoms and mess with accuracy in pregnancy tests.  There are actually types of birth control pills on the market that have you take active pills for 12 weeks, meaning a period once every three months. If this sounds up your alley, talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for one of these varieties (Seasonale, Jolessa and Quasense, Seasonique and Camrese, Lybrel). In addition to fighting the pain and discomfort that often comes each month, NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Naproxen may also reduce bleeding by 20-50%. Pop one before hitting the hay, too, to get a more restful night's sleep. Follow the package directions when it comes to how many you should take. 200 to 400 mg orally every 4 to 6 hours as needed is the recommended adult dose of Ibuprofen and Motrin. Some...

Bitcoin is a completely virtual currency, that allows consumers a way to exchange money for free, without the use of a third party (like a bank, credit card company, or other financial institution). Bitcoin are not regulated or controlled by a central authority like the Federal Reserve and all Bitcoin transactions take place in an online marketplace, where users are anonymous and untraceable for the most part.  Bitcoin allows you to exchange money instantly with anybody in the world, without needing to create a merchant account, or use a bank or financial institution. Transferring money does not require names meaning there is little risk of identity theft. To understand Bitcoin, it is important to understand Bitcoin mining, which is the process by which Bitcoin are created. While mining is complex, the basic idea is that each time a Bitcoin transaction is made between two people, the transaction is logged digitally by computers in a transaction log that describes all the details of the transaction (like the time, and who owns how many Bitcoins).  These transactions are then shared publicly into something known as a "block chain", which states every transaction, and who owns every bitcoin. Bitcoin miners are individuals who own computers that constantly verify the block chain to ensure it is correct and up to date. They are the individuals that confirm transactions, and in exchange for doing so, they are paid in bitcoin, which increases the supply. Since Bitcoin is not overseen by a central authority, mining ensures that the individual transferring the bitcoin has enough, that the agreed upon amount is transferred, and that the balance for each member of the transaction is correct afterwards. Recently, the federal agency responsible for combating money laundering announced new guidelines for virtual currencies. The updated guidelines will regulate Bitcoin exchanges, but will leave the rest of the Bitcoin economy alone, for now.  The Bitcoin network is resistant to government regulation, and it has gained a...

Bite as hard as you can at any body part that comes near your mouth. A “pinch” bite, where you have a thin amount of skin between your teeth, often causes more pain that biting an entire mouthful of flesh would. You may feel squeamish about biting down hard enough to break the skin, but don’t hesitate to do so. You want to cause your attacker enough pain to gain yourself time to run away. If your attacker pins your arms down to your side, use your legs, feet, and head to attack them rather than trying to wrestle your arms free. Similarly, if your attacker has your legs immobilized, use your arms, hands, torso, and head to attack them. This uses your energy to defend and attack rather than tiring you out from trying to free other limbs. Obviously, do whatever you can to get free, but try to focus on being on the attack and causing harm to your abductor. feet, shins, crotch, throat, and eyes. These areas are the most likely to cause enough pain to stun and momentarily stop your attacker. Stomp on feet and toes, scrape your shoes down the person’s shins, punch their throat or grab their windpipe, knee or punch them in the crotch, and stick your fingers into their eye sockets. The goal of fighting your attacker isn’t to win the fight. It’s to gain time to get away. So as soon as you can, break away from the person and start running and yelling. Many things can be turned into weapons, so feel around you and grab what you can to lob at your attacker. Keys can be used to cut someone, books can be thrown at someone’s head, and bricks or other things you might find on a sidewalk could seriously injure your attacker and let you get away. If you wear heels, you could even take off your shoe and use that as a weapon. Remember, you’re not trying to win a fight; you’re trying to save your life. As soon as your abductor is injured or stunned, start fleeing and yelling. Don’t look back, as that can slow you down. Just keep running until you get to safety. Call the police as soon as you are able to. They may be able to go...

TL;DR in Russian:

Стремитесь укусить похитителя. Используйте свободные конечности, чтобы наносить удары похитителю вместо новых попыток освободить  зафиксированные конечности.  голеней и ступней, паховой области, горла и глаз. Нападайте на злоумышленника с ключами или другими предметами в руках. Убегайте, как только получится обезоружить противника.


Bite your nails? Chew your hair? Stop; people might look down on you.  The best way to break habits such as chewing your hair is to replace them with something else such as chewing gum. Some habits such as self-harm may need a doctor's assistance. If you have a potentially dangerous habit, speak to someone about it. Usually the salon will have magazines for you to look at, so find one that you like and think suits you. If you like your hair the way it is, get a trim. It makes your hair look more healthy, sparkly and pretty. You could ask your parents if you could dye your hair if that's what you want.

TL;DR in Russian:

Избавьтесь от всех привычек, из-за которых вас могут принять за неудачника. Сделайте новую прическу.


Biting or picking at your nails can cause them to fracture and then fall off. Throughout the day, leave your nails alone as much as possible to help them remain strong and grow out. If you struggle with nail biting, try doing something like wrapping the tips of your nails in tape to help you avoid the habit. If you need to open a box or letter, which for a knife or another sharp object instead of relying on your nails. Using your nails as tools wears them down over time. Nails that become broken or fractured will not grow out. Always put on a base coat before painting your nails. Once you're done painting your nails, add a top coat. This will help your polish stay on longer, preventing the need to re-paint your nails too often and expose them to nail polish remover. Also, base and top coats help strengthen your nails and leave them in better condition after applying polish.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не грызите ногти. Не используйте ногти в качестве вспомогательных инструментов. Помните, что не стоит недооценивать пользу базового и топового покрытия при использовании лака для ногтей.


Biting parasites like fleas can be a common source of irritation that can lead to hair loss. However, these pests can be difficult to spot. Instead, look for flea dirt, which is the dried blood left behind when a flea bites your cat’s skin.  Brush your cat’s hair in the opposite direction and look for brown flakes or specks. Wet a paper towel and put some of these flecks on the towel. When the flea dirt comes into contact with the moisture, it should become red or orange again as the blood is reconstituted. Flea medication generally acts by inhibiting nerve transmission in fleas, which causes them to become paralyzed and die. Common flea medications contain fipronil or selamectin. The recommended dose of flea medication is generally 6 mg/kg that is applied to the skin on the back of the cat's neck. If you have more than one pet in your house, it is important that you treat all of them for fleas, so long as they have fur. If you only treat one animal, it is very likely that they pick up fleas again from the other animal in your house. You should also consider using an insecticide (or ‘flea bomb’) in your house to remove fleas from your furniture and carpets.

TL;DR in Russian:

Блохи являются частой причиной выпадения волос. Лечите от блох регулярно. Лечите всех животных в вашем доме.


Biting your nails is a bad habit than can damage your overall nail health. You can end up damaging the tissue surrounding your nails, making it harder for nails to grow. If you bite your nails, take steps to quit.  Trim your nails short as this can help you resist the temptation to bite. You can also use foul-tasting nail polish or place tape or stickers over your nails. Identify what triggers you to bite your nails. You may bite in response to stress, boredom, or anxiety. Try to know when you're going into a situation where you may be tempted to bite your nails and take steps to avoid biting. You could, for example, play with a stress ball or a small ball of silly putty. Give yourself time. Nail biting, like any bad habit, will not change overnight. It may take a few months before you've broken the habit of biting your nails. If you have a hangnail on your toenail or fingernail, do not pull it off. This can rip tissues near your cuticles, causing pain or infection. Instead, clip off hangnails using nail clippers. When using products like nail hardeners or nail polish removers, opt for less harsh brands. Go for acetone-free types of nail polish removers. Avoid switching nail polish too often, as overuse of nail polish remover can weaken your nails. Manicures and pedicures can be a fun way to spruce up your finger and toenails. If you bite your nails, a manicure can actually help motivate you to stop. However, if you regularly get manicures and pedicures, take precautions.  Make sure any salons you use are licensed and the manicurist and pedicurists you work with are licensed by the state board. Avoid having your cuticles removed, as this can lead to an infection. Make sure to have your nail technician sterilize any tools he or she will be using on your nails. Ask if foot baths are cleaned regularly. Shoes can make a big difference when it comes to nail health. Make sure you select shoes that leave about half an inch of wiggle room for your toes. Alternate which shoes you wear each day, and always wear socks....

TL;DR in Russian:

Не грызите ногти. Не вырывайте заусенцы. Правильно выбирайте жидкость для снятия лака. С осторожностью относитесь к маникюру и педикюру. Выбирайте подходящую обувь.


Biting your nails is detrimental to your health. Although a regular nervous habit for many, it can cause bacterial skin infections on your hands and in your mouth. If you have dry or loose skin around your nail beds, make sure to clip them away rather than biting them off.  Try keeping your nails neatly polished or add nail art, so you’ll be less apt to biting. Chew gum when you’re bored. If you don't have access to gum, play with a small ball, coin, etc. Don't bite the skin around your nails. You may convince yourself that by only biting the skin around your nails, you're not actually harming the nail. This is false and will only cause your nails to weaken through the added moisture from saliva and make your nails prone to breaking. Choose one nail a week that you won’t bite. Gradually add more “no-bite” nails to wean yourself off of the habit. Consider talking to a therapist about anxiety, or something else that may be causing you to bite your nails, if your nail biting is severe. Rushed removal of acrylic or gel nails leaves your nails dry, brittle, and unlikely to grow. Even proper removal can damage your nails because it occurs with soaked nail-beds. When your nail beds are wet, they are most sensitive. If you wish to get gel or acrylic manicures, try alternating. Get a traditional manicure between your gel or acrylic manicure. Picking at your polish often removes the top layer of your nail bed. This forms a weak base for your nails. It is easy to skip base coats or top coats when you’re in a hurry and want your polish to dry fast. However, when you skip these, you’re damaging your nail. They protect your nails from staining; plus, they help the polish adhere to your nails, so that it chips less. If it chips less, you’re less likely to pick at it and further damage your nails. Carry pre-moistened nail polish remover packets in your purse for quick removal when your nails start to chip. This way, you won’t have to worry about picking at your nails. Peeling labels, scrapping glue, or unfastening a key ring...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прекратите грызть ногти. Прекратите делать маникюр с акрилом и гель-лаком. Прекратите ковырять облупленный лак. Всегда наносите базу и верхний слой. Прекратите использовать ногти в качестве инструментов.


Biu Gee, or Darting or Thrusting Fingers,” focuses on using power in very short distances. Students also learn emergency techniques, such as how to recover the centerline when sustaining a fall or being trapped. In each of the three sections of Biu Gee, you will use combinations of hand and foot movements of the first two forms to recover from a disadvantaged position. This will then put you in an offensive position where you can use short range power to disable your opponent. Muk Yan Chong, or “Wooden Dummy,” is an advanced form in which you practice with a stationary opponent (the wooden dummy). This helps you identify and learn how your hand and foot movements come in contact with your opponent.   In that the dummy does not move, adaptations are made in the form to conform to the training apparatus. Some applications of dummy techniques are obvious. Be aware that some are approximations (adaptations) and some have different application variants depicted by a single movement in a set. This form, also known as “6.5 Point Pole Form,” incorporates a pole as a weapon that you use when attacking your opponent. Fighting with a pole can enhance your skills in balancing and defense. Baat Jaam Dao, or “Eight Cutting Swords” or “Butterfly Knives,” is the most advanced form where you use short swords as weapons. It is not taught to everyone who might reach this level; only a chosen few get to learn Baat Jaam Dao. The form focuses primarily on precision, technique, and position. Foot and hand movements are altered somewhat from other forms because of the knives.

TL;DR in Russian:

Освойте Биу Джи. Освойте Мук Ян Чонг. Освойте Лук Дим Бун Кван. Освойте Бат Чам Дао.


Black Widow spiders are nocturnal, so they are inactive during the day. Daytime is the best time to locate all existing webs, so you can come back and kill the spiders once darkness falls. Look for the webs in dark, sheltered areas that are usually left undisturbed.  Indoors, look for webs in dark corners of closets, under the bed and in cluttered areas of the basement and attic. Outdoors, look for the webs under window ledges and door frames, in piles of firewood or stacked lumber and in close-growing vegetation. Black Widow webs are disorganized and erratic looking. They are slightly funnel-shaped, giving the female Black widow a convenient place to hide during the day. Never intentionally disturb a web without protective clothing and a method of killing the spider. Make a note of the location of each web, so you will be able to return to it later. Once you know the locations of the webs, there are a couple of things you can try to eliminate the spiders without actively killing them. Get your hands on a dust or liquid insecticide which you can spray or sprinkle on the webs and surrounding areas. These will kill the existing spiders upon contact, while also preventing new spiders from moving in.  Dust applications are best for out-of-the-way places where the dust won't be disturbed by anyone but the spiders. This includes attics, basements and crawl spaces. It can also be applied to wall voids, using a hand duster. Products such as Drione Dust and Delta Dust Insecticide are recommended. Liquid spot treatments are usually purchased in powder form, which is then mixed with water to form a residual spray. This works best under and behind furniture, under beds, in storage spaces and any dark corners. Products such as Demon WP Insecticide and Cynoff EC are recommended. Even though these products are very effective, they are not guaranteed to kill all of the spiders, so they are best used in combination with more active methods of elimination and to prevent new spiders from coming back. The most surefire way to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обнаружьте максимум паутин в светлое время суток. Используйте спреи и порошковые инсектициды. Вернитесь к паутинам ночью и убейте пауков. Уничтожьте кладки яиц. Что делать, если вас укусили. Вызовите профессионалов.


Black Widow spiders like to be left undisturbed, which is why they often choose dark, neglected corners to hide out in. You can make your home much more unattractive to spiders by regularly giving your house a thorough clean, making sure that you get into every nook and cranny with a broom or vacuum cleaner. Keep secluded spaces dry and free from mold, as Black Widows love moisture. Black Widows are often found under window ledges and around door frames. A good way to deal with this is by washing the outside of your house with a power hose. This will flush out any nasty creepy crawlies, especially from hard-to reach places like upper level windows. Built-up clutter provides a safe haven for spiders, which is why people are most frequently bitten when tackling long-overdue clean-ups, such as clearing boxes in storage areas or cleaning out closets. Leave spiders as few hiding places as possible by keeping all of your belongings well organized. Indoors, make sure to get rid of any old shoes, clothes or newspapers -- anything a spider might find refuge in. Outdoors:  Move firewood or other debris away from the foundation of the house. Spiders love making their homes in stacked up firewood, where it's dark and sheltered. However, when firewood is stacked against the house it makes it very easy for the spider to make a dash indoors, if it feels the urge. Remove this possibility by keeping firewood (or any other materials) stacked as far from your house as possible. Also, remember to wear thick gloves when carrying firewood indoors, to avoid being bitten. Cut back vines, shrubs and other vegetation from the side of the building. Spiders often make their homes in close-growing vegetation, and vines or bushes growing on or near exterior walls are ideal. Unfortunately, vines also give these spiders easy access to windows and roof spaces, so they may be facilitating the spider's entrance to your home. Cut back any ivy, or bushes near the foundation of your house, and avoid letting garden grass grow too long. Despite the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно чистите дом. Боритесь с бардаком дома и на улице. Плотно закрывайте окна и двери. Смените лампочки уличного освещения. Используйте природные средства устрашения. Наполните свой дом отпугивающими ароматами.


Black and brown are the most popular neutral colors. You can also try nude/tan, white, and gray as well. Silver and gold are also both considered to be neutral, and are ideal for evening looks. Plan ahead. Avoid mixing contrasting colors, such as white booties and a black dress. This will "cut" your legs in half, and make them appear too short. The more slender your heel is, the more chic and sophisticated your outfit will look. A sleek, slender heel is also ideal if you want a more dressy look. Shiny materials make things look bigger. Matte materials, such as leather, suede, or canvas, make things appear smaller. Ideally, the cuff of the boot should extend just past the ankle as well. You might also want to skip excessive details, such as heavy embellishment or lots of straps. These will only add bulk to your boots, and thus to the ankle area. These styles tend to be more comfortable than ones with high heels and pointed toes, especially after hours of walking. They are ideal for casual, day-time looks. The pointed toes and higher heels automatically make these styles look fancier than their casual counterparts. They are feminine, and great for elongating the leg. They are ideal for date nights where you won't be doing a lot of walking. Depending on what body shape you have, different boot styles will help balance your body out. Listed below are some ideas based on the four main body types:  If you have a pear-shaped body, your hips are wider than your shoulders. Opt for a simple pair of ankle boots with a heel. If you have an inverted triangle shape, your shoulders are wider than your hips. Try a pair of brightly colored boots. Heavily-embellished styles will also work. This will give the illusion of curvier legs. If you have a rectangle body shape, your hips, wait, and shoulders are the same size. Try a pair of detailed boots, as this will give the illusion of curves. If you have an apple body shape, your widest point will be your waist or torso. Opt for a pair of brightly colored or heavily-embellished...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте обувь в нейтральной цветовой гамме, чтобы иметь возможность сочетать их с большим количеством своей одежды. Выберите ботильоны на каблуке, если хотите зрительно удлинить ноги. При наличии большого размера ноги следует носить обувь, которая изготовлена из материала матового цвета. Выбирайте обувь с широкой манжетой, если хотите, чтобы ваши ноги выглядели стройнее. Если вы проводите много времени на ногах, выбирайте обувь с закругленными носками и низким каблуком. Выбирайте обувь с острыми носками и высоким каблуком для особых случаев. Выбирайте обувь, которая подходит к строению вашего тела. Выбирайте обувь, которая подчеркивает достоинства вашей фигуры и визуально удлиняет ноги. При малом росте и наличии пышных форм выбирайте ботинки с острыми носками.


Black hair is usually the best bet for vampires. It creates a dramatic look contrasting with your lightened face. Consider dyeing your hair a darker shade, or going all the way to jet black.  In some cases, a streak of white, purple, or red can be great for getting a vampire style in your hair. Consider darkening your hair, and include a single streak of color, as though you had your wits scared out of you at some point. Blondes, redheads, and people with any style and color of hair can achieve good vampire looks. Any color will work, as long as it works well with your complexion. Vampire hair is usually flat, straight, and dramatic looking. Use a hair straightener after you wash and dry your hair if you have curly hair, to pull off that lank hanging look.  All kinds of cuts can look like vampire cuts, although a mysterious, full bodied cut usually has the best effect for women. Loose curls or waves can help create a sultry, mysterious appearance, depending on what you're going for. Men can pull off long or short styles, but a slicked back medium length cut that's short on the sides will always look dramatic and ominous for a vampire. It's the classic Bela Lugosi look. Try having your hair long on one side and shaved near bald on the other, like a punk or techno vampire. You could also try a mohawk or dreadlocks. The vampire look is flexible and can be accepted with anything you're comfortable with. Consider nontraditional styles and cuts for pulling off your own unique look. Vampires are elegant creatures, proud of their appearance and style. However you choose to style your hair, keep it well trimmed, free of split ends, and in a shiny, lustrous condition. Wash your hair regularly and aim to it get cut at least once every month.

TL;DR in Russian:

Покрасьте волосы в более темный оттенок. Выпрямите волосы. Подумайте об оригинальной стрижке. Ухаживайте за волосами.


Black is the cornerstone of metal fashion. Start incorporating more black clothing into your wardrobe and daily outfit selection. The color black represents darkness, death, evil and other bleak themes embraced by metal culture. Avoid bright colors, normal, “mundane” garments (skirts, polo shirts, sandals, etc.) and any other items commonly worn by the uninitiated.  The dark color has come to be strongly associated with the metal lifestyle. Metal musicians and fans often wear black from head to toe. Avoid wearing light hues, like white, khaki or light gray, or bright colors. From the waist down, metalheads can almost always be spotted wearing tight-fitting dark blue or black denim jeans. These are often in various stages of disrepair—they can be tattered and full of holes or held together with fabric patches depicting band symbols or slogans. Try to find a pair with a sharp taper rather than a baggy or flared leg fit. Black shorts (usually with cargo pockets), cutoffs and bondage or military style pants are also common. Show your support of your favorite bands by wearing shirts bearing their logos or other metal imagery. Using clothing to advertise musical tastes is a common practice of metal enthusiasts. It can also serve as a great conversation starter. Best of all, metal t-shirts are nearly exclusively black, which means you’ll never have to worry about matching.  Many metal bands make a good part of their earnings by selling merchandise. If you want to help out a band you like, make sure you’re buying officially licensed shirts and other products directly from the band.  Pair a black band shirt with a pair of dark jeans, or layer it under a battle jacket. Don’t stop at basic black clothing. Exhibit your disregard for societal norms by donning spiked or studded jewelry, heavy black boots and death or combat-related paraphernalia. Battle jackets, denim or leather jackets or vests adorned with spikes, patches or buttons are also a popular choice.  The purpose of most of the traits of metal style is to appear...

TL;DR in Russian:

Одевайтесь в черное. Носите синие или черные джинсы. Носите футболки с символикой групп. Используйте аксессуары. Покажите свою индивидуальность.


Black is the ultimate classic color and the easiest to work with, and if you can wear it well, you can't go wrong. However, black doesn't suit everyone. For example, it can drain pale skin tones or it can simply make some people feel too somber and dour. However, this doesn't mean you should avoid little black dresses. If black doesn't suit you, be sure to keep the dress as far from your face as possible (such as using a plunging or deeply rounded neckline and straps instead of sleeves). That way, it won't drain the color from your face but you can still benefit from the elegance, simplicity, and backdrop of wearing black.

TL;DR in Russian:

Носите платье вместо того, чтобы позволять платью носить вас.


Black is very slimming, so wear as much black as you like. Go for the long line look.  White shows off your belly and will make it more obvious. Some abstract colors like a neon top with dark pants, also draw attention to your belly. You could try another solid color like soft gray if black gets too boring. Try wearing a single color from top to bottom.  Vertical stripes are much better than horizontal, ideally with darker vertical colors at your sides and lighter vertical stripes in the center. Avoid garish or in-your-face bold and big patterns. Keep in mind that darker on the bottom and lighter on the top brings the eyes of the beholder up towards your radiant face. Shoes are important to consider because as your child grows, your blood and other fluid volumes increase, often causing swelling in ankles and feet (this can also permanently change your shoe size.)  Wear lower shoes with flats. High heels are just a bad idea during pregnancy especially because it would be dangerous if you fell. You also want to choose shoes with some extra room.  Wedges are fun and beautiful to wear. Buying insoles for your shoes can increase comfort for sore feet. Flip flops can be useful as feet swell. Wear layered necklaces that are shorter than your growing baby bump to keep the focus up top.  Try wearing a great scarf. This can draw people’s eyes away from your bump. Wear natural fiber undergarments. Sometimes during pregnancy one sweats more than usual. To look stylish, wear hoops and big sunglasses. Your boobs are probably busting out all over. What to do: If you haven't already, now's the time to invest in a few great bras.  While you may choose to go for bigger sizes of your favorite bra, you might want to consider the comfort and expanding nature of maternity or nursing bras. Cotton bras are a good choice. You will want one that supports your back. Most women find that not only do their cups runneth over, but their band size (the circumference around the back) will grow too. Besides moving up a band size (or two), you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте из стройнящих чистых цветов. Носите удобную обувь. Добавьте аксессуаров для правильного образа. Потратьтесь на хороший бюстгальтер.


Black lipstick is a natural fit with dark jewel-toned clothes that you start to reach for in late fall and throughout the winter. It looks great with sapphire blue, ruby red, emerald green and dark fuschia. Try black lipstick with one of these looks:  A dark blue velvet dress with black lace trim. A green silk blouse paired with a black pencil skirt. A ruby red coat and black riding boots. Black lipstick doesn't have to be relegated to the winter months; it looks fabulous in the summer as well. Black looks particularly striking when paired with bright neon shades; the contrast is truly eye-catching. If you like neon, try one of the following looks paired with black lipstick:  A neon yellow sheath dress and black strappy heels. Hot pink sunglasses and a wispy black dress. A neon patterned boho dress with jet black accessories. It can be fun to thwart people's expectations by pairing black lipstick with a traditional outfit that would normally be seen with a tame pink lip gloss. If you have a playful sense of humor and are looking for a way to take your prim and proper outfits up a notch, try pairing black lipstick with one of these looks:  A soft, sky-blue sweater and a white tennis skirt. A white button-up blouse and a pair of preppy jeans. A pink sundress and black flats. Why not go all out? Use black lipstick as part of an overall style that says "look, but don't touch." If you love black, don't hold back: project your interesting personality by pairing black lipstick with one or more of the following:  A black dress, skirt, jacket, or black jeans. Black fishnets and boots. Black and red or black and pink plaid patterns. Dyed black hair, black nail polish, etc.

TL;DR in Russian:

В зимнее время подбирайте к такому макияжу украшения с темными камнями. Сочетайте черную помаду с неоновыми цветами одежды в летнее время года. Сочетайте черную помаду с консервативным нарядом. Станьте абсолютным готом.


Black lipstick starts to look streaky and flaky more quickly than other colors. To prevent this from happening, it's important to prep your lips before you apply it. Make sure you remove all skin flakes and moisturize your lips so they're soft and supple. If your lips are chapped, you might want to save the black lipstick for another time.  Exfoliate by brushing your lips with a soft toothbrush, or use a lip scrub. Moisturize with a rich lip balm or coconut oil. Black lipstick will probably need to be reapplied each time you take a drink or eat something. If you're wearing it to a cocktail party or another event at which you'll be eating and drinking, don't forget to bring along your lipstick. Faded black lipstick tends to look gray and drab, so you'll probably need to do a touch-up at least once before the evening is over.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отшелушите и увлажните губы. Держите черную помаду под рукой, чтобы иметь возможность подкрасить губы в случае необходимости.


Black seed is believed to help boost your immune system and protect against numerous diseases. For basic overall immune support, ingest one teaspoon of black seeds two times each day. You can also use black seed oil. However, the purest form of black seeds is when you have processed your own seeds. This guarantees you are not getting any unnecessary or harmful additives. Measure out one teaspoon of black seed oil and mix it with one teaspoon of raw honey. Take this one to three times each day. This mixture is believed to help provide numerous healing properties for a variety of diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, the flu, and cystic fibrosis. You can also add one teaspoon of crushed black seed powder to the mixture. If you don’t want to crush the seeds but want to heat them and consume them, consider boiling them in water. Boil a small amount of water with a teaspoon of black seeds. After it boils, let it simmer for about five minutes. Then pour into a mug and drink when it cools enough to consume. Black seed oil is traditionally used for intestinal and stomach ailments. If you are suffering from IBS, diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal problems, try mixing one cup of kefir, Greek yogurt, or plain yogurt with one teaspoon of black seed oil. Eat this twice each day. After you have heated and crushed your seeds, you can place the ground seeds into any food. Consider putting a teaspoon into bread, oatmeal, smoothies, or anything else you eat.
