It sounds simple, but changing what you ingest daily can have a huge impact on your anxiety levels. If you notice yourself feeling anxious, panicky, or stressed every day, plan to implement at least one of these dietary changes. Rethink your consumption of the following common anxiety provokers:  Coffee. The most popular “energy drink” of all time may also be one of the leading causes of anxiety. If you drink coffee every morning, try switching to decaffeinated tea or just water for a few weeks. It may be hard to give up, but chances are you’ll see a reduction in your stress levels over this period of time. Sugar and starch. People often see eating sugary and starchy treats (like ice cream, cookies, or pasta) as an option for stress reduction, since comfort foods temporarily provide a feeling of calm. However, the rise and fall of blood sugar that occurs after eating these foods can actually cause emotional strain and stress.  Alcohol. After a stressful day at work, many unwind over a few drinks. Alcohol makes stress feel far away in the moment, but the after-effect cancels out the temporary sense of relaxation. Drink sparingly, and when you do drink, make sure to hydrate to reduce the chance of getting a very stressful hangover.   In functional medicine, anxiety is believed to be caused by inflammation of the central nervous system. This inflammation stems from the gut, so changing your diet may lead to a reduction in anxiety. Keeping yourself healthy with a balanced diet can go a long way toward stabilizing your mood. If you’re getting the right nutrients, your body will be better able to ward off anxiety during stressful situations. To avoid the negative mental-health effects of coffee, alcohol, and sugar, try replacing these foods with fruits and vegetables.  Consume more foods high in antioxidants such as blueberries and acai berries. These help to raise mood levels and lower the hormones responsible for stress.  Try foods that are high in Vitamins D, B, and E, such as eggs, almonds, and salmon. Foods...

TL;DR in Russian:

Исключите из своего рациона питания пищу и напитки, которые способствуют развитию тревоги. Включите в свой рацион питания продукты, которые поднимают настроение. Выполняйте упражнения для уменьшения беспокойства. Выполняйте упражнения на глубокое дыхание. Займитесь любимым делом. Расслабляйтесь дома с семьей и друзьями. Проводите время на солнце. Не перенапрягайтесь. Старайтесь больше спать.


It sounds simple, but making and holding eye contact with a guy can give him just enough encouragement to take an interest in you.  When you're talking to him, make sure that you maintain eye contact. Try not to let your eyes wander, especially in the direction of another guy. You can even use eye contact to drive him crazy when you're standing on opposite sides of the room. Make eye contact with him, and after holding it for a few moments, drop your gaze. Slowly drag your eyes back up to meet his again, keeping a coy or flirty smile on your face as you do. It's the inside that counts, of course, but the outside gets seen first. When you're trying to make a guy crazy early on, wear clothes, makeup, and accessories that highlight your best features.  This does not mean that you should wear especially revealing or tight-fitting clothes. Revealing clothes will catch a guy's interest temporarily, but they probably won't drive him crazy for very long. A dress that shows a little leg or a blouse that hugs your body in all the right places can work wonders, but your appearance should scream “attractive” more than “sexy.” The idea is to make your body and your face look its best. If the clothes are something you objectively look amazing in even when you're not trying to capture a guy's heart, they will probably work for this goal, as well. After you've gotten to know the guy, it's time to drop your guard and pull out the casual clothes. This tells him that he has successfully broken through the barricade and wedged his way into your life.  The clothes you wear should still be clean, of course. A relaxed pair of jeans and a t-shirt make a nice casual look, but a shirt that's three sizes too big with a giant mustard stain on it may not be the best choice. After you've established a habit of dressing down, you should still dress up occasionally to reignite a few of the sparks he initially felt the first time he saw you. Spray a little perfume behind your ears or apply a scented lotion after a shower. When you smell...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поддерживайте зрительный контакт. Приоденьтесь. Наденьте повседневную одежду. Старайтесь невербально напоминать о себе. Танцуйте! Игриво перебирайте волосы.


It sounds weird, but when you think about it, most people only spend a few minutes a day in the buff. You can't get better or more at ease with something if you don't practice. Lock your door and add five minutes of nudity to your morning ritual.  If you're a girl who wears makeup, delay getting dressed while you apply your makeup. Do something that makes you feel good and pampered while you're having naked time. Rub a nice-smelling lotion all over your body, brush through your hair, even close your eyes and meditate. You want to start creating a positive connection with being naked. Do you like to dance? Swim? Practice yoga or hike? People who exercise for fun improve their self image while improving their bodies. If you hate running, don't hit the treadmill! Try a Zumba dance class or playing a sport instead. Focus on making your body strong and capable, and not on how it looks. For some, you may have to go all the way back to childhood, but try to remember a time when you weren't self-conscious about your body. Try to find a picture of yourself from that time and refer to it when you need a reminder that you don't need to be so hard on yourself. Even if you had a rough childhood, focus on the fact that you had enough strength to survive it and make it to where you are today. If you're terribly self-conscious about your partner seeing you naked because you think they'll lose interest, think again. Your partner isn't checking out your stretch marks or cellulite. You partner isn't thinking you're to big or skinny. They're just psyched to be getting naked with you!  Focus on being present with your partner. Instead of tearing yourself down, allow yourself to feel and enjoy the moment. Your partner has his or her own insecurities and imperfections, but does that stop you from loving them or wanting to be intimate with them? Try to remember how good and generous feel toward them, and imagine that they feel the same way about you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Почаще ходите без одежды. Двигайтесь так, чтобы чувствовать себя хорошо. Вспомните время, когда вам нравилось ваше тело. Помните, что вы для себя самый придирчивый критик.


It takes a few days for testing to reveal effective antibiotic, in the interim a more broad spectrum antibiotic may be prescribed to initiate therapy. Similarly, there are times when pneumonia testing reveals no bugs — inadequate sputum or no septicemia (leading to a negative blood culture). Once treatment is determined, your symptoms should improve within a few days or weeks. You may still feel fatigued for over a month.  Most people on antibiotics for pneumonia, especially mild pneumonia like walking pneumonia, can be treated at home. If your symptoms do not improve after two days or worsen, contact your doctor immediately. That is a sign that you need a different medication. You may continue coughing for two to three weeks after finishing the antibiotics. If this occurs, consult your doctor. Antibiotics will not work for viral pneumonia. Your immune system will have to fight it off. If you have a high fever, sweating, and chills, you are probably losing a lot of water. It is important to stay hydrated so your body can fight off the infection. For severe cases of dehydration, you may need to be hospitalized. If you feel thirsty or have any of the following symptoms you need to drink more water: Exhaustion, headaches, infrequent urination, passing dark or cloudy urine If your doctor says it is ok, you may be able to reduce your fever with over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB and others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol and others).  Do not take ibuprofen if you are allergic to aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, have asthma, kidney problems, or stomach ulcers.  Do not give medications containing aspirin to children or teenagers. Consult with your doctor before starting these medications to make sure that they will not interact with any other over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, herbal remedies, or supplements you may be on. Do not take these medications if you are pregnant, nursing, or treating a child without first talking to your doctor. Your...

Принимайте антибиотики. Пейте побольше воды. Сбейте высокую температуру. Узнайте у врача о лекарствах от кашля. Пройдите бронхоскопию, если у вас аспирационная пневмония. Идите в больницу, если домашнее лечение не помогает. Отведите ребенка в больницу, если его состояние не улучшается.


It takes a little while for the body to get accustomed to a new mattress, so start really paying attention to the way it makes you feel after about three days. Think about these questions:  How many hours of sleep do you get on the new mattress? Do you toss and turn or sleep soundly? Do you feel achy or sore during the day? Does your back feel supported, or do you sink into the mattress uncomfortably? Do you feel well rested, regardless of how much sleep you get? If you aren't sleeping well on your new bed, it's best to return it. Start the process of choosing and buying a mattress again, taking into account the factors that made the old one inappropriate for your needs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь узнать как можно больше о матрасе в первое время. Верните матрас, если необходимо.


It takes a long time to build a really great mansion in Minecraft. You need to be committed to the task, though the rate that you finish it is up to you. Schedule your building time and make it a routine, to help keep you motivated to finish. You can use it as a reward for finishing homework or household chores. 1 hour of play = 3 hours of work, for example. You will need a place to build your mansion. You can place it in neighborhoods with other players (if you are allowed), or you can build it in single-player, creative mode, in a superflat environment if you just want to build your mansion and environment from the ground up for your own enjoyment. If you are not playing in Creative mode, you will need to make sure you have all the necessary materials to build with. Make a checklist of what you need and how much of it you think you’ll need.

TL;DR in Russian:

Запрограммируйте время постройки. Подготовьте место для стройки. Убедитесь, что у вас есть все материалы.


It takes a long time to create the right environment for mating. Buy your fish nearly a year in advance. July and August are the best months to purchase your fish, as goldfish like to breed during the Spring. You'll want your goldfish to be properly adjusted to their habitat and de-stressed before breeding season, so try to plan far enough in advance! The first thing you want to do (assuming you already have a smaller tank that can hold at least 4 gallons or 15 liters) is to clean your newly purchased breeders. By adding 80 eye drops of Formaldehyde, 6 drops of Copper Sulphate and just 1 small measure of Terramycin, you will be able to clean the goldfish and the tank to keep all healthy. The tank you plan to breed them in should hold at least 20 gallons (75.7 liters) of water. Additionally, add the necessary props for a natural-looking goldfish habitat. This normally includes natural or artificial bushy plants or fertile, sprawling fibers.  When females lay their eggs, they usually anchor them to something solid. If you're going to let them breed naturally, you'll definitely want a lush environment. If you're going to breed them artificially, no plants are necessary, although they do improve quality of life (and act as a great water filter) when the fish are not breeding. Consider investing in spawning mops. Spawning mops are made of floating nylon string into which females send their eggs. You don't need spawning mops if you have plenty of brush, plants, or other fibrous material, but they're an easy, efficient way of safeguarding your goldfish eggs, as grown-up goldfish tend to eat any unsecured eggs. Without abruptly changing the diet of your goldfish, start introducing non-pellet food, such as brine shrimp or live black worms, into their tanks. This simulates the natural bounty of springtime when goldfish like to breed. A couple of pointers on feeding your goldfish in general:  Feed your goldfish in small amounts but often. Feed them three times a day, being careful not to overfeed them. Many goldfish...

It takes about an hour to make, mostly unattended. Reserve about 1/4 cup port. This will be used near the end. These will go in near the end. Do not boil. Stir every 10 minutes or so.  When the sauce has reduced down far enough so it's starting to get thick (about 1 hour), strain the solids from the sauce with a sieve and return the liquid to the saucepan. Add the remaining port, and continue reducing until the sauce is thick and syrupy. If you still have a while until dinner, you can either remove the sauce from the heat, or add more port if you like. About 10 minutes before serving, add in the reserved blueberries. Options. You can add other flavors to the reduction sauce, too. Some flavors that go well with this sauce include black peppercorns, rosemary, or chocolate. Experiment!

It takes at least two people to have a great conversation. Make sure to do your part and actively participate in the discussion. One of the best ways to do this is to ask questions that will allow the discussion to develop naturally.  Ask open-ended questions. Instead of saying, "It's a nice day, isn't it?" Say, "How are you planning to enjoy this beautiful weather?" The first example only requires a yes or no answer, which could be a dead end for the conversation. Ask questions that require more than 1 word. Ask questions that clarify what the other person is saying. If you are having a talk about rules with your teenager, try saying, "I hear you saying that you're frustrated because you feel like you don't have enough freedom. What can we do to find a solution that works for both of us?" . Being an active listener means that you are responding to your conversation partner and demonstrating that you are engaged in the discussion. You can indicate that you are actively listening through both physical and verbal cues. Active listening makes the other person feel valued and respected, which is very important when trying to develop effective conversations.  You can let someone know that you are listening by using positive body language. Make sure to make eye contact throughout the conversation. Also, try nodding or shaking your head at appropriate times. You can provide verbal cues to let someone know that you are engaged in the conversation. They can be as simple as "That's interesting!" or more substantial, such as "I didn't know that. Can you tell me more about what it physically feels like when you're running a marathon?" Another way to indicate that you are actively listening is to restate some of the conversation. Try paraphrasing. For example, you can say, "How interesting that you are exploring some new volunteer opportunities. It sounds like you are really excited about trying something new." Remember that active listening is about retaining and thinking about what the other person is saying. Instead of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Задавайте продуманные вопросы. Учитесь быть активным слушателем. Будьте искренним. Найдите что-то общее. Будьте в курсе последних новостей. Следите за языком тела. Избегайте излишней откровенности.


It takes different kinds of courage to ask out someone you are interested in, to speak to your boss about a raise, or to confront a bully. One thing all of these scenarios will require is a show of confidence, whatever you actually feel. Confidence and courage come through acting as if you are unafraid, even (and especially) when you are. When you ask someone out, the best way is to be direct, even if it is scary to put yourself out there. Practice what you're going to say ahead of time. If you can, talk to her in private. Think about how great it might be if she says yes; isn't that worth the risk? Remember, if she says no, it isn't a reflection on you or your desirability. Be respectful of her decision and be proud of yourself for being courageous! It can be scary to talk to your supervisor, especially if it's about problems you're having at work; it's also awkward to have conversations about money. However, if you frame it more as a conversation than a confrontation, you may be more likely to get your way.  Ask to speak to her privately and plan out what you're going to say ahead of time. It's okay to feel nervous, don't fight it. Make sure to breathe normally and speak with conviction. If the conversation backfires, step back and re-assess. If you think about it and feel that you were in the right, consider getting your human resources department involved. Alternatively, sometimes the better thing to do is change jobs; some people are very stubborn and choosing not to fight every battle doesn't mean that you lack courage. When you're confronting a bully, remember to act as if you're feeling brave and confident. You'll trick yourself (and her) into thinking you aren't afraid. Bullies thrive on your emotional response, so don't give them the pleasure of a reaction. Act confident in yourself (even if you don't feel particularly confident). If the bullying gets work in the aftermath of your confrontation, get help from a teacher or parent. Knowing when to get outside help is courageous in itself. It shows...

TL;DR in Russian:

Вырабатывайте смелость в конкретных ситуациях. Проявляйте смелость, когда зовете кого-нибудь на свидание. Демонстрируйте смелость при разговоре с начальством. Демонстрируйте смелость в противостоянии травле.


It takes ten obsidian to make a Nether portal. Once you have enough for two portals, however, you can use a trick to get infinite obsidian without needing to find lava. . If you don't have a portal already, place obsidian blocks in a vertical frame 5 tall x 4 wide. Activate it by using a flint and steel on the lowest obsidian block. This trick may not work if there is another portal close by. The corners of the portal do not have to be obsidian. The Nether is a dangerous place, so prepare yourself if you haven't been before. You'll need the remaining ten obsidian blocks, but you might want to leave them safely behind and explore a safe route first. You'll need to travel a certain minimum distance in a straight, horizontal line (these numbers include a 3-block margin of safety just in case):  PC, Pocket Edition, and Console Edition "large" worlds: travel 19 blocks. Console Edition "medium" worlds: travel 25 blocks. Console Edition "classic" worlds (including all PS3 and Xbox 360 worlds): travel 45 blocks. If you have multiple Overworld portals, walk away from their coordinates. This trick will not work if you are too close to an existing portal. Build this in the Nether and activate it the same way you did the first one. When you walk through it, you should appear in a brand-new portal in the Overworld. If you appear next to a portal you already built, you did not walk far enough in the Nether. Go back to the Nether and break your portal with a diamond pickaxe, then rebuild it somewhere else. The portal that just appeared has fourteen obsidian blocks free for the taking. Mine these with a diamond pickaxe. Each time you walk through the Nether portal you just built, a new portal will appear in the Overworld. Mine this for free obsidian. Speed this up if you want a large amount of obsidian:  Use a bed to set your spawn near the permanent Overworld portal. Place a chest near the temporary Overworld portal. Stash the obsidian and diamond pickaxe in the chest after mining the portal. Kill yourself to return to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Добудьте двадцать обсидианов. Создайте портал Нижнего мира Перейдите в Нижний мир. Создайте второй портал. Разбейте портал в игровом мире. Пройдите сквозь тот же портал Нижнего мира, чтобы создать новый портал из 14 обсидианов.


It takes time to learn how to curb your tendency to laugh, but distraction is an easy way to stop yourself, in the meantime. Try one of these options for shifting your thoughts away from what’s triggering your laughter: Do you laugh out of nervousness, or do you laugh to cope with painful feelings? Maybe you laugh because you have a lot of energy or have trouble finding the words you want to say. Whatever your reasons for laughing, write down when your laughter is causing you issues. Consider the time, location, occasion, and people who could be causing your laughter. These are called your triggers. Once you know what they are, you can begin to address your habit of laughing. What can you do instead of laughing nervously? For example, nod, lick your lips, exhale slowly, or click a pen. What you decide to replace your laughter with depends on the circumstances that are causing your laughter.  For example, you may laugh nervously during work meetings. If this is the case, click your pen instead of laughing. If you tend to laugh at serious moments, take a deep breath and then exhale at moments when you’d typically laugh. Since you know what’s making you laugh and what you can do instead, tell yourself that you will follow through on doing the new behavior. Reviewing your plan in your mind makes it more likely that you’ll be able to follow through. Tell yourself, “The next time I feel awkward in a work meeting, I will click my pen,” or “When I go to the funeral, I will nod when people share their condolences.” Social anxiety is a common cause of nervous laughter, so learning to deal with it can relieve your desire to laugh inappropriately. Confronting and accepting your anxieties can help you feel more confident in social situations and have more control over your nervous laughter. Practicing mindfulness can help keep you present and aware of your surroundings. This, in turn, can help curb laughing caused by distracting or invasive thoughts.

TL;DR in Russian:

It turns out that there is actually a "right" way to wash your hair. And many people are doing it wrong. First, look at the amount of shampoo you are using. It's likely too much. You should not be using an amount greater than the size of a quarter.  Avoid vigorously rubbing or massaging your head. Putting more pressure on your strands can actually cause fly-aways and rough ends. Rinse shampoo out before conditioning. Make sure to get rid of excess water by gently squeezing or wringing out your hair. Rinse your hair with cool water. Hot water can damage your color and your hair. You don't have to take a cold shower, but you should turn the water temperature down before you rinse. Only wash your hair every other day. This allows the natural oils in your hair time to repair. On the days you don't wash, you can still rinse with water or dry shampoo. Heat can damage your hair. Specifically, it can cause the ends to split or become dry. Limit the amount of heat styling you do on your hair.  Air dry as often as possible. Daily blow drying can quickly cause your hair to loose it's luster. Using a straightening iron can make your hair appear shiny and soft temporarily. But in reality, it damages the hair by weakening the follicles and drying it out. Try to limit straightening your hair to once a week. Look for other ways to style your hair, such as experimenting with texturizing sprays. When you do use heat, use a protectant. There are many sprays you can use to limit the damage done by hot tools. Ask your stylist to recommend a good one. Your hair is particularly prone to damage when it is wet. It is often tangled after washing and can easily break. Make sure to always comb your wet hair instead of brushing.  Use a wide-tooth plastic comb. This is the most gentle tool for your hair. You can get a great one for under $5 at your local drugstore. Avoid tugging on your hair. It can be tempting to yank on tangles, but that can cause breakage. Take the time to gently work tangles out, using the comb and your fingers. Keep...

It turns out that trust is a lot like everyone’s favorite nursery rhyme egg, Humpty Dumpty:  it’s easy to break, and very hard to rebuild afterward. Once you’ve betrayed a girl’s trust, “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men” may not be enough to get it back.  Sometimes you’ll just have to accept that it is lost forever.  But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try your hardest to earn it back. Never assume that you deserve a second chance, especially if you have seriously betrayed her trust, such as by cheating on her.  Earning trust is hard, and re-earning it is that much more difficult.  Don’t fool yourself about the substantial effort it will take on your part, and the reality that it may not be enough not matter what you do. The first step to regaining trust is always to be completely honest (to her and to yourself) about what you did to lose it in the first place.  Think long and hard about why you did the thing that broke her trust, and be prepared to patiently answer her questions and accept her anger and sadness. Never try to downplay what you have done to break her trust.  It is serious business, and you need to always treat it as such if you want any shot at regaining her trust.  That said, once you’ve “come clean,” try not to obsess over why you did it or the “gory details.”  At some point, both of you have to be able to move forward if trust is to be rebuilt.  You can’t control her pace in moving past it, but you can control yours. Never make excuses for your indiscretions that have caused a loss of trust.  You screwed up, it was your fault and yours alone, and now it is up to you to do everything you can to rebuild what your actions have broken.  As with coming clean with all the details, a full apology is necessary to “clean the slate” before you can begin working to restore trust. Saying “Sorry I messed up.  I promise I won’t do it again” will not cut it.  Try something more like:  “I am very sorry that I lied to you about something so important.  I know how much it has hurt you, and it is...

TL;DR in Russian:

It used to be that Skype had to be installed by manually downloading the binary from Skype’s website, but now you can install it from the Canonical Partners repository. Start by opening a terminal window. If you’re using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you’ll need to enable Multiarch so the program will install. At the command prompt:  Type: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  Press ↵ Enter. This repository, which is where Skype (and a lot of other closed-source software) is found, is disabled by default. To enable it from the command line:  Type: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"  Press ↵ Enter. Ubuntu recommends that Skype only be installed through this repository (rather than downloading the package from Skype’s website). Here’s how:  Type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype  Press ↵ Enter to begin the installation. When the installation is complete, you’ll return to the command line. This will launch Skype. Follow the prompts to create your account so you can get started with video chat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нажмите Ctrl+Alt+T, чтобы открыть окно терминала. Активируйте Multiarch (только для 64-разрядной Ubuntu). Подключите партнерский репозиторий Canonical. Установите Skype из партнерского репозитория. В терминале введите skype и нажмите ↵ Enter.


It used to be that anyone with a knack for numbers and a lot of friends could become a successful stockbroker. Not so anymore! If you want to stay competitive, you'll need to get your degree. Economics, finance, mathematics, accounting, or business management are all good fields to get your undergrad degree in. And the better college you go to the more prospects you'll have later in the game! Especially if you're going to grad school, keep your grades up. The better your grades, the more -- and better -- schools will open up to you. Not to mention knowing what you're doing when you hit the exchange floor! Some brokerages hire interns during their last year of college. Hit up your campus' "Investment Club" -- or start one if it doesn't yet exist! Getting that dream internship could make your path to being a billionaire a lot easier. This is your best bet if you're not looking to get your MBA and want to get going as quickly as possible. But know that relaxing is totally a viable option. Plenty of people take a couple of years off, go back to get their MBA and get in the game a little bit later. Also: people are more likely to trust a 28-year-old with their money than a 22-year-old, so feel free to keep that red solo cup and package of ramen in your hand for a second or two more. Alright, so having an MBA isn't necessary per se, but if you want to rise to the cream of the crop, having an MBA will put you at the top of that prospective employee stack you're bound to find yourself in eventually. More and more people are getting them, making them par for the course. This step could aid in job advancement, larger signing bonuses, and higher compensation. Again, feel free to take a few years off between undergrad and your MBA. Getting some viable work experience (even if it's menial labor at a bank or a firm) will make your options grow tenfold as well. Showing that you already have a grasp on what you're doing or want to do will get programs to take you more seriously. Read. Watch. Expose yourself. Learn. This is a...

Поступите в хороший колледж. Пройдите стажировку. Подумайте о том, как получить степень магистра делового администрирования. Занимайтесь самообразованием. Заведите свой инвестиционный портфель.


It will be difficult or impossible to stick to the morning routine if you and/or your family doesn't get enough sleep.  To wake up energized and ready to jump into your morning routine, you'll need to have a full night's rest.  You should try to get about seven hours of sleep each night.  Younger people will need even more sleep.  Teens should get about eight hours of sleep nightly, and elementary and middle school students will need around 10 hours.  Your morning routine should start with waking up.  Select your bedtime relative to when your morning routine begins. For instance, if you have a 6:00 AM wake-up time, you should plan on going to bed around 10:00 PM. Figure out how everyone will wake up. Will everyone set their own alarms or will a parent be responsible for waking the children up when they need to? Will there be consequences for missing a wake-up time? Your morning routine should include things that matter to you.  Cut things that are unnecessary, unimportant, or could be done later.  For instance, your morning routine should exclude things like polishing your shoes, doing the laundry, or walking the dog.  Ask yourself what is most important for you and your family, then incorporate it into your morning routine. Things that should be incorporated into your morning routine include getting your children to brush their teeth and eat breakfast. The best way to organize morning routine tasks is to place the less fun parts of the morning routine (getting dressed, brushing teeth, and making the bed) before the more enjoyable parts of the morning routine (eating breakfast, watching TV, and meeting friends at the bus station).  That way, when your child wishes to engage in something fun like eating breakfast, you can say, “You can eat breakfast after you've brushed your teeth.” Staggering morning routine tasks in a logical way that reminds your child that the morning routine must be followed closely in order to have a happy and successful morning. Everyone in your family should have a few minutes of...

В своем утреннем плане не забудьте про зарядку.


It will be difficult to create a romantic atmosphere in a dirty bathroom. To set up the most romantic evening possible, you'll need to make sure nothing in the bathroom is dirty or grimy. This includes not only the bathtub, but the rest of your bathroom as well. Mop or sweep the floor, wash out the bathtub, and clean all surfaces, including the sink. It’s not necessary to spend hours cleaning, but making the bathroom look presentable is important. The best time is when you know you will be uninterrupted. Unanticipated guests or interruptions can quickly ruin a romantic mood. Make sure roommates or children will be away so that you and your partner are able to relax without fear of being interrupted. If you live with other people, ask when they will be out to get a good idea for a date and time to plan the bath. You can bribe your roommates with a favor, like cleaning when it’s not your turn, in favor of some alone time with your partner at home. Make sure your partner will be available when you set up the bath. Nothing will dampen the mood like being informed that your partner is suddenly busy, or will be coming home much later than expected. Set up a time with your partner, and ask that they stick with it. You can secure up a time by sending out a cute, handwritten invitation that says something like: “You are invited to join me this evening for a romantic bubble bath.” If you want to keep it a surprise, you can tell your partner that you need them home to help you with something at a certain time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наведите порядок в ванной комнате. Выберите подходящее время. Запланируйте совместный прием ванны.


It will be difficult to cut calories when the people you live with don’t share your same weight loss goals. Encouraging your family to eat healthy and be active with you will set you up for success. If the people you live with aren’t on board, set some boundaries (like not keeping junk food in the house) and plan your own meals regardless of what they’ve planned to eat. Journaling and keeping a food diary is an effective way for you to see exactly how many calories you’ve eaten. It will keep you accountable and make you less prone to mindless eating in the coming weeks. Use a phone app or carry a small journal with you so you can log intake while you’re on the go.  My Fitness Pal’s “Free Calorie Counter” is a good phone app to try. Shopwell is a free app that helps you make better choices when you’re buying groceries by tailoring your shopping list to your fitness and weight loss goals. Mindful eating will help you slow down at meals, making you feel more satisfied and less likely to overeat. Slow down, chew your food thoroughly, and pay attention to the textures and flavors on your tongue.  Remove all distractions when you’re sitting down to a meal; turn off your phone, TV, computer, and/or radio. Put your fork down every three bites or so and sip on water to help you slow down and ease digestion. Eating fewer calories means you’re taking in fewer nutrients, so don’t overdo it. For the next 3 weeks, avoid eating less than 1,200 calories per day (for women) and 1,500 calories per day (for men) to stay healthy. Cutting too many calories can lead to malnutrition. It also makes you feel deprived, which can cause irritability and increase the chance that you’ll overeat at your next meal. Eating smaller portion sizes is essential for weight loss. Whether you’re cooking at home or eating at a restaurant, be conscientious of how much food you’re actually eating. When dining out, ask for half of your entree to be boxed up to go (or you can bring your own Tupperware). Measure proper portion sizes using your hand: ...

TL;DR in Russian:

Заручитесь поддержкой членов семьи и/или соседей по комнате. Используйте приложение для ведения дневника питания, чтобы следить за ежедневным количеством калорий. Обращайте внимание на то, что вы едите в течение следующих трех недель. Не сокращайте дневную норму на слишком большое количество калорий, чтобы гарантированно получать все необходимые питательные вещества. Контролируйте размеры порций в ближайшие три недели. Несколько дней в неделю практикуйте периодическое голодание. Пейте достаточно воды, чтобы предотвратить вздутие живота и обезвоживание. Старайтесь спать каждую ночь по 7–8 часов.


It will be easier for you if you know when you are going to ask the question. You can practice the conversation ahead of time, or you can identify the right moment to bring the issue up. There is no one right time to ask a guy to be your boyfriend. Judge your personal circumstances carefully.   Some people plan a special date and hold this conversation at the end of a date.  Others find that this conversation comes most naturally when they are hanging out together alone. Either way, choose a good day ahead of time. Do not ask at a time when the guy will be stressed, upset, or busy. He may be taken aback by the question, and this could affect his answer.  If you are feeling nervous, anxious, or jittery, you can practice what you will say ahead of time. In a mirror, try starting the conversation and asking the question. It might be tempting to text or message a guy to ask him, but these questions are best dealt with in person. Talking in person allows you to explore different options for your relationship. If there are any questions or concerns the guy has, you can deal with them together. If you’re in a long distance relationship, it may not be easy to meet up in person. If you can have this conversation during a visit, you might want to wait until the end before asking, in case you receive a negative answer. If you cannot ask in person, calling him is the next best option. There is no one right place to have the relationship talk, but it should be a place where you can both express your feelings and discuss your future together. Consider what is right for you and the guy.   You should probably have this talk while you two are alone. You might broach the question during a walk on the beach, at the park, or in one of your homes. If there a place that is special to both of you—such as the site of your first date or a favorite monument--, you might choose to have the talk there to make it memorable. Make sure that the guy is not distracted. Do not ask him during a movie, while you are out with friends, or when he...

TL;DR in Russian:

It will be easier to create and manage your schedule if you know what you want to achieve at the end. This will also help you identify areas that you need to focus on.  Short-term goals might include passing a test in a week, finishing a paper within 2 weeks, or memorizing a presentation in 10 days. For these projects, break up your tasks by day. Long-term goals might include getting into a certain college, winning a scholarship, or landing a certain job or internship. For these, break down your goals by week and month to make them more manageable. Make sure you know exactly how much time you have for each of these goals. Write the end-date down and calculate how many days, weeks, and months are left. For example, what is the deadline for a college application or when are your exams? Perhaps the first step in creating your study schedule is to list all of the subjects and courses you need to study for. Putting your obligations on paper will help you get a better idea of what you really have to do. If you have specific exams to study for, list these instead of courses. Now that you’ve written down all of the different subjects you need to study for, you need to figure out what you need to do for each course. While your time commitment and other obligations for a specific class might vary per week, chances are you’ll find out that over the long-haul, you’ll need a certain amount of time per subject.  If you have a study guide or a textbook with review sections, use it to narrow down what you list. Reserve time for reading. Reserve time for reviewing your notes. Reserve time to create exam study guides, if you'll need them. After you’ve made a list of all the subjects or exams you need to study for and figured out what you need to do for each, prioritize the list. Ranking each class in importance will help you figure out what subjects you need to devote the most time to and which subjects should get your best time slots.  Put a number, starting with one, next to all of your subjects or exams. If you need the...

It will be easier to juggle when you're first starting out if all the balls are the same size and weight. Look for balls that are less bouncy since you may be dropping them on the floor a lot at first. Baseballs are a good kind of ball to practice with. Holding the 2 balls in your dominant hand will be easier when you're starting out. As you practice and get better, you'll be able to use either hand.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите три одинаковых мячика. Возьмите два мяча в ведущую руку и один мяч — в другую.


It will be easier to practice parking with fewer obstacles in your way.  When you are practicing, you will want to do this in a parking lot that isn't crowded. As you are learning, you might make mistakes. In an area with no cars, you are unlikely to hit anything as you practice your parking skills. This isn't just a good idea for people learning how to drive. If you haven't driven in a long time, it is a good idea to practice parking and driving a little bit before going long distances.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите стоянку, где мало машин.


It will be easier to remove a clog if the pipes are free of water. If the water doesn't drain, you may need to try plunging or snaking. If you have a strainer that is attached with screws, use a screwdriver to remove it. Some drain covers simply lift out or can be unscrewed with your hands. Put the cover in the open position and remove any screws that need to be undone. Then lift the cover out. If you have a drop stopper, lift the stopper and find the screw at tub level. Unscrew it and the top section of the device. Most clogs are caused by hair. If the hair is sitting near the surface, just pull it out with your fingers. Wear rubber gloves if you don't want to touch the hair with your bare hands.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подождите несколько минут после принятия душа, чтобы вода могла медленно сбежать. Возьмите отвертку. Используйте фонарик, чтобы посмотреть в канализационную трубу.


It will be easier to remove the stain with chemicals and water if you first scrape off whatever toothpaste will loosen up.  Try using a small knife or sharp object to scrape off as much of the toothpaste as you can. If you are a child, only do this with parental supervision, however. Scrape only very gently so that you don’t end up damaging the clothing by poking holes in it. You are just trying to get the surface-level toothpaste off. Be careful not to rub the toothpaste too hard or you could embed it even more in the fabric. You could also try to use your fingers to pick some of it off if you are nervous about using a knife. The sooner you try to remove the toothpaste, the easier it will come off. If the toothpaste sits on the clothing for very long, it could erode the color in the clothing. Whitening toothpaste that contains bleach can damage the clothing especially if it remains on it for very long. Many stain removal methods involve water. You need to make sure the fabric won't be damaged if water is applied to it.  If the clothing is dry clean only, do not use water at all or it will leave a spot. If you don't have time to take the clothing to the dry cleaner, there are dry cleaning stain removal products that can be used on these pieces, though. This will help loosen the stain some more. Mix a few drops of laundry detergent with a cup of water. You can use stain remover in place of the laundry detergent.  Try spot cleaning the clothing first. Dip the cloth in the sudsy water, and gently blot/scrub the toothpaste area. Once the detergent penetrates the toothpaste stain, the stain should release itself somewhat. Wet the area and put pressure on your shirt with the water so it comes out. If it still looks tinted white, then it is not completely out. The titanium dioxide powder causes the white staining on clothing. That’s why you will likely need detergent to get it out. Blot the area with water to rinse. Allow the spot to air dry. Don’t apply heat to it yet because heat can set the stain into the...

It will be easier to use a shovel that is made out of light plastic or has an aluminum blade and is covered with a nonstick finish.  This will make it easier to load and unload the snow. You don’t want a shovel that’s too big or that contains softer materials. You won’t have to bend as much if you choose a shovel with a S-shaped shaft. You can use a shovel with a C-shaped blade, called a pusher, on lighter, fluffier snow that doesn’t weigh as much. You can apply lubricant to help your shovel move more easily through the snow. Options include non-stick cooking spray, W-D 40, paraffin wax or other similar products. Before applying, make sure your shovel is dry and warm. You can reapply as necessary. frequently. Don’t wait until the storm is over because the snow and ice will have a chance to bond to the pavement, making it harder to remove later. You could always pay a neighbor kid to shovel for you.  The key to success when having to remove snow by hand is to start as soon as possible. You should shovel several times during a storm. It’s also easier to shovel less early fallen snow than thicker deeper snow, so do the shoveling in parts. Avoid heaping the snow against foundation walls, where it can melt, refreeze, and cause problems. You want to shovel down to the pavement so that the sun’s rays will hopefully hit it and stop ice from forming on the pavement or public space. Another reason to remove the snow right away is because it will be harder to do so once it’s packed down by foot traffic or vehicles. You can easily strain your back or knees when shoveling. However, there are ways to prevent this. It's important not to overload the shovel; work with manageable amounts of snow. Focus on pushing the snow instead of lifting it whenever possible, and take plenty of breaks.  When you have to lift a load of snow, squat and lift using the power of your legs. Keep your back straight. Avoid jackknifing your body and lifting from your lower back, will save you from getting a back injury.  Make sure the shovel is...

It will be especially difficult when you first try to transition from night owl sleeping patterns to morning person sleeping rhythms, but employing light is one way to "trick" your body into greater alertness. Exposure to light, whether natural or artificial, at wake-up time helps reset your circadian rhythm and make you more alert.  Allow natural sunlight to pour in to your bedroom, or invest in a “light box” or gradual alarm clock that produces a steadily brighter light. Find something that forces you to get out (and stay out) of bed.  Consider the following to help you transition to wake-up mode:   Make your bed. It's a lot less desirable to crawl back into it when you've gone to the trouble of making it up. Force yourself to leave the room – go to the bathroom, drink a glass of water, brush your teeth, or do anything else that will overcome your inner chat about returning to bed.  As an aside, we are often dehydrated upon waking up, so drinking a glass of water can help the body rejuvenate and prepare for activity.  Splash your face with water as soon as you get out of bed. Stretch. Stretching can help awaken you gently, as well as improve your flexibility. Put on upbeat music and dance to it a little. Have a cup of tea or coffee to awaken your senses. Some people swear by slightly warmed water with freshly squeezed lemon juice as a refreshing tonic. You might as well work up a sweat before taking your morning shower, and you can start your day by burning some calories before you even take any in.  Physical activity will help wake you up, and exercise undertaken first thing in the morning is more effective at charging up your metabolism than exercise undertaken at any other time of the day.  Have your gear ready to go the night before — lay out your running clothes and shoes, tune up your bike, lay out your weight set, or cue up your workout DVD.  Jump right into action before your inner sleepy-head can convince you otherwise. Make sure to drink lots of water before and during morning exercise. Don't be...

TL;DR in Russian:

It will be even more difficult to have an honest discussion about your mental illness with a romantic interest if you have not fully accepted its reality yourself.  Any sense of doubt or shame that you still feel or stigma that you continue to place on your illness may be further amplified and “confirmed” by similar responses from your prospective partner.  Before being truly honest with others, you need to be honest with yourself.  Work to understand and accept your illness, with the help of mental health professionals and supportive loved ones.  At the same time, never doubt that you deserve to have a healthy, fulfilling romantic relationship. Especially if you have been recently diagnosed, you might possibly find it easier to start the dating process by seeking out others who have similar experiences with mental illness.  There are niche online dating sites focused on such individuals.  This may not be the best path for you, though, so consult your mental health professional first. While you may occasionally hear specific advice such as “the first date is always too early” or “don’t wait much past the fourth date,” the fact is that there is no universal “right” or “wrong” amount of time into a relationship at which to disclose your mental illness.  You can and should seek out advice from trusted sources, but only you can decide when your relationship is at the “just right” stage for this conversation. Generally speaking, you don’t need to disclose a mental illness right off the bat on the first date.  Wait until the level of commitment and/or intimacy builds to the point that it feels wrong to wait longer, then plan the discussion. You’ll want the conversation to feel natural and comfortable, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t practice the content and style of your delivery beforehand.  You will be hesitant and nervous when it comes time to reveal a mental illness, and adequate preparation beforehand can help you to navigate and push through those barriers to a healthy conversation. Consider practicing...

Определите свое отношение к болезни. Определите подходящий момент для разговора. Репетируйте свои слова. Выберите подходящую обстановку. Подготовьте информацию и ответы.


It will be important to weigh yourself every single day around the same time.  This is especially true since you want to lose five pounds in five weeks;  since it's a shorter dieting period, you'll want to make sure that your diet plan is working well.  Purchase a home scale so you have the right tools at home to keep yourself on track. For the most accurate weights, weigh yourself in the same clothing each day. Regular weigh-ins have also been shown to help prevent weight-gain. In order to meet your goal of losing five pounds in five weeks, it'll be important to check in and evaluate your diet along the way.  Since the timeline is so short, if you notice your diet is not causing adequate weight loss, you'll want to make adjustments as soon as possible. If you're not losing weight, check in with your food journal and calorie count.  Are you slipping up?  Snacking more often or eating larger portions?  Make the necessary changes or cut out a few more calories to induce weight loss. Ideally, after you've lost your desired amount of weight, you should keep it off.  Stick to your diet plan long-term to maintain your weight loss.  Maintain the lifestyle changes you've made: monitoring calories, portions sizes, and eating a balanced diet daily. Also monitor how often you indulge in treats or alcohol.  Although the occasional treat is OK, keep them to a minimum long-term to help maintain your weight.

TL;DR in Russian:

Взвешивайтесь каждый день. Оцените свою диету. Продолжайте придерживаться диеты.


It will be much easier to see how you website style looks if you have your actual content instead of placeholders. You don't need too much content, but it will look much better in mockups if you have some copy and original images. You don't necessarily need the body of an article, but you should at least have actual headlines. The internet is much more than simple text websites. In order to stand out in your niche, you'll need a variety of different content types to attract and retain visitors. Some possible content to keep in mind:  Pictures. Audio Video Streams (Twitter) Facebook integration RSS Content feeds If you are including photos on your site, your initial impressions will be much better with professional photography. A single good photo is worth more than twenty bad ones. Look for recent art photography grads for cheaper solutions than long-time professionals. The written content on your page will determine the vast amount of your web traffic. While you don't need to worry too much about content creation at this point of the design process, it doesn't hurt to start thinking about it, since you'll need content on a regular basis once the site goes live. Beyond article content, there are written items that you will most likely during the website construction process. This could include contact information, company names, or anything else that will be used in multiple places on the site.

TL;DR in Russian:

It will be on one of your home screens or inside of a folder.  To quickly search for an app, swipe right on the home screen, type the app's name into the Search bar at the top, and then tap the app in the search results. You can scroll through iPhone home screens by swiping left on the screen. You don't need to press down particularly hard; simply touch the screen and lift your finger when the pop-up menu appears.  If you have an iPhone 6S or newer, pressing down on your screen may invoke the 3D Touch menu. If you see an option that says "Share [App Name]" along with other options in a menu below your app, you're pressing too hard. If you haven't updated your iPhone to iOS 13.2, you won't see a menu. Instead, all of the icons on the screen will begin to jiggle. A confirmation window will appear.  If tapping and holding the icon made the icons on your screen jiggle, tap the X at the top of the icon to delete it. Some apps, such as the App Store, cannot be deleted. This deletes the app from your iPhone. Deleting an app will not cancel any in-app paid subscriptions.

It will be really hard to stop yourself, and you'll probably end up falling down. If you lose control of your wheels, you could end up in a dangerous situation!

It will be very difficult to summarize a story without actually reading it. So crack open your book, or plug in some headphones and listen to it on your iPod. Don't always trust the internet sites that claim to summarize books, because they aren't always accurate.  As you're reading, you need to keep in mind what the central idea of the story is. For Lord of the Rings, for instance, the central idea might be something about how the power of greed (i.e. the Ring) is a strong force for evil, or even the actions of one insignificant person (like a hobbit) can change the world.  Concentrate fully on the book. Don't get distracted by anything, not even music. You'll need to take notes as you read so that you have refer to them when you're ready to start the summary. Look for the "who? what? when? where? why?" These will give you the basis for what you want to cover in your summary. You'll need to know who the story is about, after all, and you need to figure out which characters aren't as important to the narrative. If you're reading a story with tons of characters, you won't want to note down every single character that appears.  For example: for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone you would write down Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, because they are the main characters. You might even note down Hagrid, Dumbledore, Snape, Quirrell, and Voldemort because they figure importantly in the story. You wouldn't need to write down Peeves the poltergeist, or Norbert the dragon, because while they are important in their places in the story, they don't influence the main storyline enough to be part of the summary. A shorter story like "Little Red Riding Hood" is easy because you only have to note down Red Riding Hood, her grandmother, the wolf, and the woodcutter (depending on the version). The setting is where the events take place. Now this can get complicated if the story you're reading takes place in a lot of different places. If that's the case, you'll need to be more broad.  Continuing the Harry Potter...

It will fit into your computer's SD card slot, which is a thin, inch-long slot that's most likely on the side of your computer (or in front of the CPU box for a desktop). A window with the SD card's contents should pop up.  The SD card should be 2 GB or less. The angled side should go into the slot, and the SD card's logo should be facing up. If your computer doesn't have an SD card slot, you can purchase a USB flash drive adapter into which you can plug an SD card. It's located at https://please.hackmii.com/, which, despite its name, is a safe site to visit. You'll do so beneath the "System Menu Version" heading near the top of the page. It goes in the boxes beneath the "MAC Address" heading in the middle of the page. You'll also want to make sure the "Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!" option below the MAC address area is checked. It doesn't matter which option you click; either one will prompt the Homebrew setup to begin downloading. It should be labeled "LOST.DIR". This will likely be the only folder in the SD card; if not, just look for a folder that ends in ".DIR". You may first have to unhide folders on your computer to view the "LOST.DIR" folder. While you technically can just pull the card out of your computer, you should first eject the SD card to ensure that you don't lose any files. To do so:   Windows - Right-click the SD card's name in the left-hand pane, then click Eject.  Mac - Click the upward-facing arrow to the right of your SD card's name in the left-hand pane. You can now prepare to install The Homebrew Channel on your Wii.

It will help the lacquer to stick more easily to the surface. If your wood has a very rough finish, do two coats of lacquer primer. Dry according to package directions in between coats. Aerosol lacquer is the best product to use the first time you try the method because it can be applied uniformly. If you must apply liquid lacquer, use a wide natural bristle brush. Practice on another piece of wood before you finish your piece of furniture.  Wipe it with a tack cloth before applying your lacquer. Hold the can between 10 and 18 inches from the surface of the furniture. Spray it in small horizontal strokes.  If the surface starts to dimple, like an orange peel, you are holding the can too far away. If the surface starts to streak, you are holding it too close. It may take a few practice strokes to find the ideal distance for your climate and furniture. It will take a half hour or less to dry, but 48 hours to cure. Let each coat cure before you apply another layer.

It will help to stick with your regimen if you make a schedule, and stick to it. It will help you accomplish your goal of increasing your stamina, and will also give you an opportunity to gather metrics: do you maintain a steady pace? Are you able to run longer or faster (or both), or have you reached a plateau? Here is a sample schedule that will help you develop both endurance and speed:   Day 1 - Steady Intervals. Warm up for 15-20 minutes, then run at high speed for one minute followed by one-minute, fifteen-seconds of slow running or walking. Repeat these intervals six to eight times. Maintain a steady time for each phase (using a stopwatch), and then cool down 20-30 minutes, gradually slowing to a walk.  Day 2 - Easy run day (only 2–5 miles (3.2–8.0 km), depending on you and your running experience).  Day 3 -Pyramid intervals. Warm up for ten to fifteen minutes, and then run a pyramid interval set, as described above.  Run at a comfortable pace for 15 minutes, then do a variable interval set. Finish up with a twenty to twenty-five minute cool down, ending at a comfortable walk.    Day 4 - Easy run (2–5 miles (3.2–8.0 km),depending on you and your running experience).  Day 5 - Easy run (2–5 miles (3.2–8.0 km),depending on you and your running experience). This might seem like a lot of rest, but then you did run pretty hard on Day 3. And given you are running long on Day 6, it would be best to be well rested when you run long.   Day 6 - Long run. Start slowly and run at an easy, conversational pace for 40 to 90 minutes. It is helpful to have a friend or family who is willing to run with you, or at least follow along on a bike.  Day 7 - Rest day (2–5 miles (3.2–8.0 km), depending on you and your running experience. Every 8th week, take the day off.) Push yourself once every three weeks or so with this technique:   Find a local track or flat surface of about 1⁄4 mile (0.4 km) (400 meters) to run on. Avoid streets, as they are too curved; the curb foot will be noticeably lower than the street-side foot....

This will be easy to discover as you spend more time with him and get to know what his favourite TV shows or movies are. Having a night at his or your house is the perfect way to do this. Once you get a feel for his sense of humour, cracking a joke or preparing a witty comeback should be met with a hearty chuckle. Don't do this too often or it will start to look a bit weird. If he likes mean jokes then you can do some but be careful not to hurt other's feelings. Nothing lights up a person's eyes more than a conversation about their favourite interests or hobbies. A few of these should get you going! Though you may not know much about cars, entering a conversation with him about it and showing a genuine interest in it will surely bring a smile to his face. This is perfect and even if you get bored let him stop the conversation rather than yourself.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вы поймете, чем можно вызвать улыбку на лице парня, который вам нравится, если узнаете его поближе. Выясните, что он считает смешным или забавным. Узнайте, чем он увлекается.


It will look a lot like an older, more healed bruise if you use a regular pencil, but you can use a variety of colors if you want to make it more exciting. Use regular gray pencil lead, as well as dark blue and purple for your bruise.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте разнообразные цвета.


It will make you look and feel good by controlling your weight and giving you a trim waist to help emphasize the perkiness of your breasts.  Aerobic exercise like jogging, walking, or swimming will help keep your waist small. Try to do 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week. Aerobic exercise will also release endorphins which will relax you, lift your mood, and make you feel better about yourself. While your breasts themselves do not have muscles in them, toning the underlying muscles might still help them resist the pull of gravity. Try to do weight training at least twice a week.  Strengthen your pectoral, shoulder, and triceps muscles with chest presses. Lie on your back on the floor with a weight in each hand. Your elbows should be touching the floor with your forearms straight up in the air. Push the weights straight up until your arms are extended. Lower back to the starting position. Repeat.  Build your biceps with biceps curls. Stand straight and hold a weight in your hand with your palm facing up. Bend your elbow and bring the weight towards your shoulder.  Bring it down and repeat.  Do push-ups to strengthen the muscles in your arms, chest and back. Lie on your stomach on the floor with your palms on the floor next to your shoulders. Prop yourself up on your toes. Extend your arms and lift your body off the floor, keeping your back straight and your abs pulled in to protect your spine. Your arms should be fully extended. Gently let yourself down and repeat. If you cannot do a pushup from your toes, start by bending your knees when you go up, rather than keeping your legs straight. During exercise your breasts may bounce between 4 and 15 cm. This strains connective tissue that attaches your breasts to your chest and the skin that covers your breast tissue. A properly fitted sports bra can hold your breasts in place, reduce the bouncing, and prevent the skin and ligaments from stretching. A sports bra fits properly when:  The underwire does not move around when...

TL;DR in Russian:

Держите себя в форме с помощью упражнений. Укрепляйте мышцы груди с помощью силовых тренировок. Выполняйте упражнения в спортивном лифчике, который бы плотно облегал грудь.


It will need a day or so to completely dry, depending on the size of your piece. Leave it untouched until tomorrow, then see if it's ready for painting.

TL;DR in Russian:

It will need to be relatively clean and in good enough condition so that the side walls will not split under weight. You can choose whatever size tire you like but remember that huge tires can weigh a lot. You do want plenty of room for several kids to sit in the tire, a very large tire may weight too much for a standard tree branch. Give it a good wash down with heavy duty detergent, scrubbing it inside and out. You can also use a tire cleaning product to clean your tire. It should be thick and sturdy, about 10 inches diameter and 9 feet from the ground.  Be sure the tree is large and healthy, with no signs to indicate that the tree is unstable or dead inside. Make sure that the point of attachment for your swing is far enough away from the trunk that the swing will not easily hit the trunk. This means that you need to attach your swing at least a few feet out from the trunk. The distance between the branch and the tire also dictates how high it will swing. The longer the rope, the higher your swing will go, so you may want to chose a branch that is lower to the ground if you are making a swing for a small child. You will need to purchase three "u-bolts," with two matching washers and nuts for each side of the bolt. In other words, you will need to have four washers and four nuts for each u-bolt. In addition you will need to obtain about 10 feet of rope, 20 feet of good galvanized chain, and an "s" hook large enough to have the end of three pieces of your chain hooked into one end of it.  It should be quality rope that won't fray or break when weight is applied to it. There are a variety of ropes you can use for your tire swing, such as heavy duty climbing ropes or utility rope. Instead of a s-hook you can use a carabiner, connector link, or a locking swivel hook. These alternative give you the option of easily taking the swing down but will cost you a little bit more money.  The chain does not need to be a huge gauge. When you purchase it, check the weight rating for the chain you intend to get. Make sure...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите подходящую шину. Почистите всю шину. Определите подходящую ветку, на которую вы сможете подвесить качели. Приобретите материалы. Просверлите несколько отверстий в одной из боковых стенок шины. Поставьте лестницу под веткой. Перекиньте веревку через ветку дерева, затем закрепите концы вместе.

Присоедините хомуты к шине. Проверьте, хорошо ли раскачиваются качели.


It will need to be written in Excel in the lowercase to use this method. The flash fill function can read and change names so that the first letter of the first and last name is capitalized. Enter them in a single column. Leave a blank column to the right of the list of names. If you don’t currently have a blank column to the right of your list of names, right click on the lettered column above your list of names. Select “Insert” and a new empty column will appear to the right. For example, if your first lowercase name were in cell A1, you would go to cell B1. For example, if the first cell says “joe biggins,” type “Joe Biggins” in the cell to the right. Press “Enter.” ” It will learn the pattern and make a similar change in the data series. You can also use the short cut code, “Control” and the letter “E” to activate Flash Fill. To avoid duplication, click on the top of the original lowercase column. Right click and press “delete” to get rid of it and leave the list with proper cases. Make sure Flash Fill has worked on your whole list before deleting.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте этот метод, если текстовые данные представляют собой ряд имен собственных. Введите имена строчными буквами. Перейдите в ячейку, которая расположена справа от ячейки с первым именем. В ячейке В1 введите то же имя, что и в ячейке А1, но с правильными прописными буквами. Откройте меню «Данные» и выберите «Мгновенное заполнение».

It will read “Fair is foul, and foul is fair. Put these books out of order.” There will be 5 books in normal mode. You’ll be allowed to place the books on the empty space on the shelf. Put the books in randomly; order doesn’t matter as this puzzle is generated randomly. You’ll see there are black markings on it; this is the code you need. It won’t be too hard as the numbers are written quite obviously. Try to make out the numbers written on the spine of the books and keep moving them until you get it right.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прочтите записку на двери. Поднимите все книги на полу. Осмотрите полку. Пристально посмотрите на книги. Расположите книги в верном порядке.


It will register 180ºF (82ºC) on a thermometer. Add ½ tablet or ½ tsp. (2.5 ml) of liquid rennet to ¼ cup (60 ml) of cool distilled water. Stir the tablet until it's dissolved and set it aside. Add 2 tsp. (10 ml) of citric acid powder to 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cool distilled water. Stir until it is dissolved. Place 1 gallon (3.8 L) of pasteurized milk into a 6-8 qt. (5.7-7.6L) pot. Do not use ultra pasteurized (UHT) milk. UHT milk does not form a solid enough curd to make mozzarella cheese. Stir gently, and there will be some curdling.

TL;DR in Russian:

Доведите на плите до кипения большую кастрюлю с водой. Добавьте в воду сычужный фермент. Добавьте в воду порошок лимонной кислоты. Налейте в кастрюлю молоко. Налейте в молоко воду в с растворенной лимонной кислотой.


It will stay in this position until noted otherwise. The goal of this section is to put the white edge pieces around the white center, so it forms a '+ sign' or cross on the white face.  These instructions assume you have a standard Rubik's cube, with the white face opposite the yellow face. If you have an older Rubik's cube, these instructions will be difficult to follow. Do not move the white center off of the Upper face. This is the most common mistake in this section. Use the same process to bring the three other white corners to the white face. At the end of this step, you should have a completely white Upper face. The F, R, B, and L faces should all have an upper row of three squares that match the center color. Sometimes, a white corner happens to already be in the U (white) face, but in the wrong position, so the other two squares do not match the center on the same face. If this happens, turn the cube so that corner is in the UFR position, then apply F D F'. Now the white square is in the D face, and you can move it to the right position as described above.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поверните кубик так, чтобы белый центр располагался на стороне В, и пусть он пока находится в этом положении. Повторите процесс с остальными углами.


It will take anywhere from 24 to 28 hours for your skin to heal after sugaring. It's very common for red spots to form on sugared areas. These spots form where the hair root was removed, and may look somewhat similar to a sun burn. Do not worry about such spots as they'll clear up in a few days. In the event you get an ingrown hair, treat it promptly. Ingrown hairs can cause serious skin irritation if left untreated. You can use topical gels designed to treat ingrown hairs at a local supermarket. If ingrown hairs do not clear up on their own, see a dermatologist. Doing sea salt soaks regularly following a sugaring appointment can prevent the formation of ingrown hairs. If you notice redness, itching, burning, or other symptoms that do not go away within 24 or 48 hours, see a dermatologist. Sugaring is usually safe, but can make your skin more susceptible to infections. If you have a rash that you suspect may be infected, make an appointment with a dermatologist.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не переживайте из-за красных точек. Обработайте вросшие волоски. В случае инфекции обратитесь к дерматологу.


It will take your rabbit time to become accustomed to a new location, whether it’s temporary or permanent. He may not be extremely friendly or seem like himself during the adjustment period because of the stress of travel. In time, he will start investigating his surroundings out of curiosity – just be sure to let this happen on its own and don’t force him. As soon as possible after the transport, put him back in his normal cage or set up his room like it was at home. Offer the same type of food he was eating before, and give him back some familiar toys. Spend time with him talking and petting him just like you did at home. Because travel is stressful to rabbits, you’ll want to keep an eye on his health after the transport. Because rabbits are prey animals, they tend to try to hide their illnesses and injuries. If your rabbit seems sick, you’ll need to bring him to a vet as soon as possible. Signs of illness include:  Teeth grinding (especially paired with hunched posture – is a sign of pain) Tilted head Open-mouth breathing Blood in urine or anywhere in his cage/home Limping or paralysis Enlarged abdomen that seems painful to the touch Vocalizing (crying) Decrease in eating or drinking that lasts more than a couple of days after travel Drooling, slobbering, loss of chin hairs (all indicate a dental problem in a rabbit) Discharge from nose, sneezing or coughing, difficulty breathing (indicate a respiratory infection) Change in stool (diarrhea or decreased stools) Hair loss, itchiness, flaking skin, or lumps on the skin Biting, growling, or attacking (indicates substantial pain in a usually gentle animal)

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте кролику время обвыкнуться. Максимально воссоздайте привычную для кролика обстановку. Следите за появлением признаков недомоганий.


It will tell you what sort of mood your cat is in. If your cat is too angry or upset, your apology will mean nothing to him or her and will most likely result in you getting slapped across the face. This section will show you how to read your cat's body language, so that you will know when it is safe to approach her. The tail is the most expressive part of a cat's body, and is a good indicator of your cat's mood. Unlike dogs, cats do not "Wag" their tails when they are happy. Here are some more guidelines:  If the tail is pointing up, with the tip slightly curled to the side, your cat is content and safe to approach. If the tail is poofed up, your cat is frightened. You may try to approach your cat to calm him down, but do so slowly, and make sure that your cat can run and hide from you. A cornered cat may quickly turn into an aggressive cat. If your cat is twitching or thumping his tail, then do not approach your cat. He is angry, and probably at you. Give your cat some time before apologizing. A cat's ears are very expressive, and will also help you determine how she is feeling. In general, if the ears are up, the cat is happy, and if the ears are down, the cat is not happy. Here are some more detailed guidelines:  Are the ears up and in a normal, relaxed position? If so, you can go ahead and try to apologize to your cat. If the ears are turned back, do not approach your cat. She is deeply offended and angry. Give her some time. She might be feeling scared. You can still approach your cat, but do it slowly and carefully. If your cats ears are pressed back flat against the skull, she might be feeling scared. You can still approach your cat, but do it slowly and carefully. A cat's eyes respond dramatically to changes in light, but they also change according to mood. When looking at your cat's eyes, you will also have to take the lighting into account as well as the rest of the cat's body language. Here are some guidelines:  If a cat's pupil is very large, he may be afraid. It could also mean that it is just...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на язык тела кошки. Следите за хвостом. Наблюдайте за ушами. Обратите внимание на глаза кошки. Присмотритесь к мордочке. Взгляните на тело и мех кошки. Обратите внимание на когти.


It will usually be simplest to portion out your rice in whole cups. For example, two people sharing a cozy meal may only eat two to three cups of rice, whereas a larger meal may require six to eight. Working with even quantities will make it much easier to figure out exactly how much water you need to produce perfectly cooked rice.   Using a dry measuring cup to scoop your rice will help you avoid any troublesome guesswork. For best results, only prepare as much rice as you plan on eating. Leftover rice doesn’t reheat well. Place the brown rice in a mesh strainer or sieve and run it under the faucet, circling the strainer beneath the stream. This will rinse away most of the starch, which will prevent the grains from becoming sticky when cooked. Continue washing the rice until the water runs clear.  You may notice that the water draining out of the rice has a slightly milky appearance. This is normal. Shake out as much excess water as you can before cooking the rice. Place the newly washed rice in the bottom of the cooker and spread it out. When preparing a lot of rice at once, make sure it’s properly distributed so that it will cook evenly. Don’t add more rice to the rice cooker than it can hold at one time. If you need to prepare an especially large amount, do it in batches.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отсыпьте порцию риса, которую собираетесь приготовить. Промойте рис в холодной воде. Переложите крупу в рисоварку.


It won't do you any good to try and attach a card that is already there. PayPal only allows credit cards to be attached to one account. If you want to use that card, you will need to remove it from the other account. The card should be in your name with your billing address. If someone else wants their card on PayPal to use, it is best to set up their own account. This is redundant, as PayPal already has access to your account. Plus, PayPal will charge a small fee for personal transfers using a debit card, but not a bank account. Their number is 1-888-221-1161 if you are calling in the US. If you are outside the US, call 1-402-935-2050. Customer Service hours are 4:00 AM to 10:00 PM Pacific Time Monday through Friday, and 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM Pacific Time Saturday and Sunday.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помните, какие карты вы привязали к аккаунту PayPal. Не используйте карту, прикрепленную к другому аккаунту PayPal. Не добавляйте свою карту к аккаунту другого пользователя. Не нужно добавлять дебетовую карту, связанную с уже привязанным банковским счетом. Если у вас остались какие-то вопросы, или вы не смогли решить проблему, свяжитесь со службой поддержки PayPal.


It won't have the same softening and shine-adding properties, but it will help get rid of excess oil. Simply squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into 1 cup (240 mL) of warm water, then pour that over your head. Massage it into your scalp and rinse it out. You can also use lemon juice to lighten your hair naturally. Co-washing is just like washing with shampoo except that you use conditioner instead. While you'd normally focus conditioner on the ends of your hair, you actually do want to apply it to your scalp while co-washing and massage it in. Once you rinse your hair out, you don't need to use an additional conditioner.  Co-washing is not recommended for oily or greasy hair because it doesn't contain enough detergent to get the grease out. You may have to scrub your scalp more than you normally would in order to get it squeaky-clean.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте разбавленный сок лимона вместо яблочного уксуса. Если у вас сухие или вьющиеся волосы мойте их кондиционером для волос.


It won't help if you suddenly change the way you dress or act; people (especially people your age) can smell a phony and won’t react well to your obvious and sudden effort to be cool. What you can do is enhance that existing you, and ensure that it displays an aura of fairness, eloquence, transparency, and council-material. Do some informal polling (get friends to help if you can) to find out if people want a new vending machine by the gym, a different lunch item in the cafeteria, another dance added to the calendar, etc. A clever campaign won’t do much for you if you have nothing to bring to the table.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте последовательны в том, кем вы являетесь, в течение всей кампании. Узнайте, чего на самом деле хотят люди.

It would be a good idea to wipe the inside of the jar down with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils that may prevent the paint from sticking. If your jar has any stickers or labels, you should remove them at this point as well.  The nice thing about using this method is that you get a clean finish without any brushstrokes. The downside to using this method is that you cannot fill the jar with water and use it as a vase. How much you pour in depends on the size of your jar; the bigger your jar is, the more paint you will need. A little bit of this paint goes a long way, however. Remember, you can always add more paint. Plan on using 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) for most jars. For an 8-ounce (240-milliliter) or smaller jar, use 1 to 2 teaspoons instead. Tilt the jar around this way and that. Turn the jar on its side, and roll it to help further spread the paint. Keep doing this until you get the paint coverage you want. You can coat the entire inside of the jar, or you can leave bare patches.  If you aren't getting the coverage you want, add another 1 to 2 squirts of paint. If the paint is not moving, it is too thick. Add a few drops of water to the paint, stir it in with a spoon or skewer, and try again. Cover your work surface or a tray with a waterproof material, such as wax paper. Lay down several sheets of paper towel, then place the jar upside down on it. The excess paint will drip down the sides of the jar and collect on the paper towel. If you left bare patches, be aware that you will get streaks of paint on the unpainted glass. If you don't want this effect, leave the jar upright. How long this takes depends on how big the jar is, how much paint you used, and how thick the paint was to begin with. This can take as little as a couple minutes to as long as a few hours. Skip this step if you left bare patches. You'll simply have a thicker coat of paint on the bottom of the jar. If you want to, you can wipe excess paint from the rim of the jar using a damp cloth. If there is paper towel stuck...

It your child's nose is deformed and has not been repaired, you can consider using a nasal suction to unblock the airways in your child's nose. This suction device sucks out the secretions in your child's nose so that she can breath more easily. To use the device:  Make sure that the device is clean. You can wash it with warm water and soap. If the suction device is dirty, it could introduce bacteria into the nose. Insert the device into your child's nose. Don't be afraid to allow it to go deeper because this will help all remove the deeper secretions. Cover the other nostril and then use the suction device. This will make the suction as strong as possible. Release the suction slowly to so that none of hair in the nostril gets pulled. You can install a humidifier in your child's room--the humid air will help to loosen up the secretions in your child's nose, ensuring that they come out rather than blocking up his nasal passageways. You can also use a store-bought nasal decongestant such as phenylephrine. Put two to three drops in both of your child's nostrils every four hours. Letting your child sleep on his left or right side, or on his stomach, rather than on his back. Doing this will ensure that the secretions in his nose will drain out of his nose, rather than dripping down his throat. You can also prop your child up so that he sleeps in a semi-upright position to help his lungs expand as much as possible when he breathes while sleeping. Having a cleft palate makes it almost impossible for an infant to breastfeed. Instead, fill a bottle that has a top that enhances your infant's feeding capability. You can still use your breast milk, though you can also use a milk formula if it is recommended by your pediatrician. Try to angle the bottle so that the milk goes into your child's mouth away from the cleft palate. Always keep your baby sitting upright when you feed her so that she doesn't choke. If you are using a bottle to feed your infant, you will need to keep track of how long you feed her for. Infants...

It'll be easier to get a task done if you have all the supplies on hand to do it. Avoid wasting time looking for tools or documents by having them all accessible and organized from the beginning. . Even though you may just want to do this in your head, actually writing it down has a huge impact.  Try to be specific and reasonable. For example, don't write 'continue novel' or 'clean house.' Instead, write things such as 'write 500 words' or 'tidy the living room floor.' Small, achievable tasks are best. If you have a big goal in mind, try breaking it down into smaller steps on your list.     Don't get too distracted by the list. If list-making is taking more time than just getting down to work, put it aside and start being productive.     If tasks have a deadline, mark them on. This will help you in prioritizing.      Prioritize the tasks. A simple numbering system works well - you can decide to either prioritize the tasks that need to get done first, or get particularly hard/long tasks out of the way first. Alternative, you might even opt to start with a few shorter/easier tasks so that you can knock a few off the list quickly.    .  Shed light on the situation. If it is day, open the curtains. If it is night, turn on the brightest lights. This will have a psychological impact on you.     List all the advantages of completing the goal you have. Come up with as many things as you can. For example, if your goal is to make friends with a colleague, don't just say 'I will have a new friend.' Instead, advantages can include: I can meet people from their social circles; Our work can be more enjoyable; We can learn from each other; They may encourage me on days when I feel demotivated etc.     Tell people when you will be finished by. This is a very powerful tool for getting things done as it increases the pressure on you. Tell as many people as you can and emphasize how good your finished thing shall be.     Set rewards for yourself.     Open the windows if you can to let in fresh air.    Some people prefer to work...

TL;DR in Russian:

It'll be hard to tune the guitar without knowing the proper notes for each string. Starting with the lowest, thickest string (which should be the closest to the ceiling when you're holding the guitar properly) the standard tuning for the strings is, from low to high:  E A D g b e (thinnest string) An acoustic guitar is made of wood, and the resonance of the strings, even when tuned properly, might not sound exactly right. Play a G chord, or another first-position chord to check to make sure the guitar sounds correct and is in tune. Make slight adjustments as necessary. The B string, in particular, will usually need to be tuned slightly flat to create a truly perfectly-tuned guitar. Experiment some and listen closely to make sure the guitar is in tune. Strings need time to stretch out when first placed, meaning they fall out of tune very quickly. To help get them in shape, tune the guitar, then play for a few minutes. Retune and repeat, playing until the strings stay more or less in tune for a few minutes straight.

TL;DR in Russian:
