While rings are symbolic as a sign of unity, they are also bedecked in traditions that may or may not be applicable to you. Not everyone appreciates the symbolism of rings, nor even using symbolism as part of their wedding ceremony. If you are not a traditionalist, if you have thought carefully about the purpose and intent behind your marriage, rings may not not feature highly as an outward display of your commitment. Bear in mind:  Rings don't make the commitment, you do. There is nothing to say you have to have rings. Rings can be annoying to some people, who will accept them as part of the ceremony but then rarely wear them again. This can be the case with people who don't much like jewelry, who do a lot of sport or outdoor activities or who don't like the look of wedding rings. In some cases, it concerns modesty, about not wearing jewelry for faith or environmental reasons. Whatever reason, there is no point getting something that will never be appreciated afterward. Temporary rings might work for some couples. For example, a ring woven from flax or other plant material could be used during the wedding as a token gesture that does not need to be worn after the wedding. This might be nice if the plant has some meaning (cultural or personal), if you're both nature lovers or if you simply love plants! It wouldn't be fair to the other partner if he or she does want a ring but you insist on no rings because you don't want one. It is acceptable for one partner to have a ring while the other partner does not. After all, in many Western weddings, rings for the man are a recent addition. If one of you does want a ring and the other does not, you can still incorporate this as part of the marriage ceremony. In some cases, brides prefer a charm bracelet, to which charms are added as important life events occur as a couple, such as births, major transitions and promotions. This might be a suitable alternative where one person in the couple wishes to have something to show outwardly that isn't a ring. In some cases, it...

While rules will vary situation to situation, many standards are common to most debates. Come dressed to play the part of a serious debater, and bring an attitude to match. For important formal debates—really for any debate you want to win—wear a suit or equally formal wear. Dress like a politician or like you are going to a funeral. Keep your suit jacket on at all times, and your tie if you are wearing it.  Don't wear anything tight or revealing. Face the judge when you speak, and speak standing. Read full citations when you are quoting. If you're not sure if what you are doing is professional, ask the judge's permission. For instance, if you want to leave the room for water, ask. In team debates, avoid prompting your partner unless they are immediately jeopardizing your chances of winning. Try not to do it at all. Keep your cell phone off. Do not curse. Limit jokes to those that would be appropriate in a professional setting. Don't tell jokes that are off-color or that rely on insensitive stereotypes. In British Parliamentary, for instance, one team must debate the "affirmative" stance, and the other must debate the "negative" stance. The team that agrees with the topic is called the affirmative, while the team that disagrees is called the negative.  For Policy Debate, the affirmative team proposes a plan and the negative team argues that it should not be enacted.  Both teams will be seated near the front of the room they are to speak in — affirmative team (Government) on the left, negative team (Opposition) on the right. The chairperson or adjudicator will start the debate, and the first speaker will present their speech. The order of the speakers is generally affirmative, negative, affirmative, negative, and so on. Debating "That the death penalty is a just and effective punishment" is probably already pretty clear, but what if you're given a topic like "That happiness is a nobler trait than wisdom?" You might need to offer a definition of the topic before you proceed.  The affirmative always gets the...

While saffron is most commonly used in cooking and baking, it can also be used for medicinal or cosmetic purposes. Research the effects of saffron thoroughly before using it for non-culinary purposes, though.  Early research suggests that saffron might be effective as an alternative treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, depression, menstrual discomfort, and premenstrual syndrome.  There is little to no research to suggest that saffron is effective against asthma, infertility, psoriasis, digestive trouble, baldness, insomnia, pain, cancer, or other conditions. Avoid taking more than 12 to 20 grams of saffron since such large amounts can actually be toxic. You should also avoid medicinal saffron if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you're suffering from bipolar disorder, low blood pressure, or various heart conditions. Under the guidance of a physician, you could take a pure, high-quality saffron extract to help treat Alzheimer's disease, depression, menstrual discomfort, or premenstrual syndrome.  For Alzheimer's disease, take 30 mg per day for 22 weeks to improve symptoms. Note that this will not cure the disease, however. For depression, take 15 to 30 mg per day. Continue for six to eight weeks. Results may be as effective as a low-dose antidepressant in some individuals. For menstrual discomfort, take 500 mg of an extract containing saffron, celery seed, and anise up to three times daily for the first three days of menstruation. For premenstrual syndrome, take 15 mg of an ethanol saffron extract up to twice daily while symptoms last. The effect usually kicks in after two menstrual complete menstrual cycles. Topical applications of saffron are traditionally used to lighten, brighten, and clear skin. The exact application procedure will vary based on its intended purpose, though.  Use a saffron milk mask to hydrate and soften skin. Soak a pinch of saffron threads in about 4 Tbsp (60 ml) of cold milk for several minutes, then splash the mixture onto freshly cleaned skin. After it dries, wash it away with...

While scanning companies can generally deliver better quality and make what might be a tedious task go much quicker, there is a certain satisfaction in doing it yourself, as well as other reasons:  It could be an opportunity to discard slides that should never have been taken, like that accidental shot of your tennis shoes or that "artistic" image of a dog and a fire hydrant. There may be pictures in your slide collection that you simply don't want to share with total strangers. In the consumer category, these can range from under $50 to over $200, and generally, more money gets you better quality and easier workflow. Look for these features:  Speed. Some slide scanners require you to scan to your computer, one at a time. If it takes 30-60 seconds per slide, plus naming and filing time, it can take a considerable amount of time to process a box of 400 slides. Be prepared to give up a weekend for that. Some of the better slide scanners will scan a slide in just a few seconds, and save it to an SD card. When all your slides are scanned, simply open that card on your desktop, and drag your photos over. Quality. Check out the megapixel number of the scanner you're interested in. They can range from 5 to 9 megapixels. Bigger is better, as they say: the greater the number of pixels, the larger print you can make from your slide. Compatibility. Make sure that the slide scanner either doesn't require any specific software, or if it does, that it runs on your computer configuration. You don't want to sit down at your Mac this weekend for a massive scanning session only to realize that your shiny new scanner will only work on Windows. It will likely mean that you get to do yard work instead. And that, as they say, just doesn't scan.

While scooping will do on a day-to-day basis, you'll need to completely empty the litter and scrub the box at least once every week. Some cat owners may have to clean the litter box 2 or more times each week if there are multiple cats using the same litter box. Keep a waste basket or trash bag close by, and dump everything out of the litter box before cleaning it. Once the litter is removed, you'll need to scrub the litter box, either in a sink or with a hose outside. Some experts recommend scrubbing the box at least once every week, while other experts recommend scrubbing at least once each month. How often you wash your cat's litter box will depend on how many cats use the box and what kind of litter you use.  Use warm water and a mild detergent, like dish soap, that won't leave any harsh chemical smells or residue behind.  You can make an effective cleaning agent by scrubbing baking soda and a little warm water on all inside surfaces of the litter box.  Make sure that you rinse away all of the soap. Your cat may not use the box if it smells like soap or detergent.  Note that any cleaning agents that smell like ammonia or citrus will repel cats. Using a cleaning agent with these smells may result in your cat being reluctant to use the litter box after you've cleaned it. It's important to ensure that the box is completely dry before you add new litter, as the litter will stick to the wet sides and bottom of the box. If you use clumping litter and fail to dry the box, it might even render the whole box full of litter unusable. You can let the box air dry, or use paper towels or napkins to wipe the box dry. Some experts recommend sprinkling a thin layer of baking soda on the bottom of the box, before pouring on the clean litter. This can help absorb smells, and may help absorb some of the urine, if you don't use clumping litter. . Cats generally prefer clumping litter over non-clumping litter. Most cats find that it's more comfortable to walk on clumping litter because it's made of finer-grained material, and...

While searing your chuck roast, turn on your oven so it has time to heat up before you cook the meat. Try to preheat the oven at least 30 minutes before you cook the roast so it reaches 350 °F (177 °C) when your roast is ready to bake. You can use a slow cooker instead of an oven for a juicier, more tender roast. Keep in mind, however, that slow cooking meats may take several hours longer.

While seated on the floor, extend both legs out to the sides as far as possible without experiencing painful discomfort.  Bend one leg at the knee and place the bottom of that foot along the thigh of your extended leg.  Keeping your back as flat as possible, reach toward the ankle of your extended leg.  Gently sit back up and repeat this process after switching legs. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds and repeat it 2-3 times per leg. From a standing position, lift one leg as high as possible directly out to your side, while keeping your hips square.  Have your partner cup their hand below your calf to support your leg.  Attempt to lift your leg out of your partner's hand and replace it.  Hold the leg out of your partners hand for 2-3 seconds.  Relax your leg back into your partner’s hand and repeat this stretch 6-8 times before changing legs.  Once you have lifted and replaced your foot 6-8 times, repeat this whole process with the other leg. Adding a friend provides resistance and your body will have some recovery time while you assist them in their stretch. From a standing position, bend your right arm at the elbow and reach it behind your back as far to your left side as possible.  Grab your right forearm with your left hand and gently pull your right arm further to your left side to increase the stretch.  Hold this stretch for 8-10 seconds. Repeat the stretch on the other side.

While she might be improving her health for personal reasons, it’s also possible that she’s exercising for a new lover. Watch for big changes in her appearance, as well as long hours spent in the gym. These could be signs that she’s cheating. Don’t assume that your wife is cheating just because she’s exercising a lot. She may just want to look and feel better for herself, or she could want to impress you. Although it’s possible that she just wants to feel good about herself, your wife may get new clothes to impress a new lover. This is especially true if she’s buying sexy clothes that you never see. Notice if she’s bringing new clothes into the house or if you’re seeing clothing purchases on your bank or credit card statements. If you have concerns, talk to your wife about her desire for a new wardrobe.  Say, “I’ve noticed you’ve bought a lot of new clothes lately. Is there a special reason?” Then, listen to what she has to say. Remember, she may just want new clothes because she’s diving into a new trend or she’s recently lost or gained weight. Don’t assume she’s cheating. These are ways she might try to improve her appearance, which can sometimes be a way to impress a new lover. However, she may also change up her makeup and hairstyle for herself. Notice if she’s fixing herself up specifically to go out without you. It’s helpful to consider what’s been going on in your wife’s life. If she’s been dressing down for several years because she’s been busy with the kids but now she has more free time, she might be spending more time on her looks because it makes her happy. She may smell like cologne because she’s spending time with a lover. If you notice a change in your wife’s smell, ask her about it. If she doesn’t have a reasonable explanation, then it might be a sign she’s cheating. Don’t assume that one incidence of her smelling like someone else is a sign she’s cheating. For instance, she may have a coworker who wears too much cologne.

While she might not be outright looking for an adventurous guy, she certainly won’t say no to someone who’s willing to try new things and keep her life exciting. When all you do is sit on the couch, it can be hard to maintain interest. Solve this issue by getting out and enjoying your life together.  Take her to an amusement park and ride all the roller coasters together, for instance. For example, traveling and outdoor activities are always an easy way to experiment with being more adventurous. Try going for a hike in the mountains in the next state over. Road trip! When you show her that you care about things she finds important and that you’re willing to work to help her pursue that part of her life, she’ll be really impressed. She wants to stay with someone who can understand her in that way and that she knows she can count on for support. Find ways to help her pursue what she loves and you’ll go far toward keeping her interest. For example, if she really loves fashion, help her start a blog or vlog where she can give advice to others. You can take pictures of her and help her figure out how to start and design a website. Taking on challenges together will certainly make your lives more interesting, but it will also help you feel closer together and increase your confidence in each other. Taking on challenges together is actually one of the most effective ways of building strong feelings between two people. You can consider things like:  Getting in shape or trying a new sport Improving your grades and raising your GPA Learning together can be a great way to keep things interesting. This will not only engage your brains (together!) but it will also give you more things to talk about and chances to bond. There are lots of different ways that you can learn together and many are free. By choosing a subject that you’re both interested in, you also ensure that it’s fun.

While some canon characters have vague pasts that can be manipulated, a frequent and recognized (although not compulsory) trait of a Mary Sue is to be related in some way to a canon, especially one who has a strongly established past already. Your readers may find it hard to believe that the canon character has a sister he never mentioned or a son she doesn't remember. Your original character should not constantly be the center of the universe.  Let the other characters have moments away from your new character where they don't talk or think about the new character. Remember why they're there. Your readers want to read about the canon characters, that's why you're writing a fan-fiction. Make sure that your chosen name fits in with the fandom. For example, don't have a Harry Potter character called Trixiebella Arwen, or a LOTR elf called Jane. There are plenty of sites online where you can research names to make sure that they fit with your chosen fandom.  Baby name sites are a good start, but don't go mad. Names like "Angelica Rowanna Marybelle Devenish" are ridiculous and not realistic. Don't use traits like hair color or facial features either, as most children are named at birth. Don't use your own name, or a variation of it. This just screams "Mary Sue" to readers.

TL;DR in Russian:

While some computers come with a way to check your laptop's internal temperature, most of the time, you'll need to download an app to access that information. You can choose from a variety of free and low-cost apps to download.  You can try apps like Real Temp, HWMonitor, Core Temp, and Speed Fan. Most of these apps will work just fine. The choice just depends on if you want to pay or not, as well as what platform you prefer. Once you've picked an app out, you need to download it to your computer. Find the appropriate website for each app by putting the name in a search engine. Pick the main site for the app, and use it to download it to your computer. To download an app, click the "Download" button on whatever app you've chosen. It should bring up a screen that will begin guiding you through the process. When the screen pops up, click "Run" on the installation process. If it doesn't pop up, you may need to find where the file downloaded on your computer and click on it to start the installation process. Follow the guidelines to install the program on the screen. If you don't know what settings to choose, stick with the default settings. Once you've got the app installed, all you need to do is click on the app and run it. Most of them will bring up a screen showing the internal temperature of your laptop. Some will also show the maximum temperature your laptop should reach, and you can even set some to warn you if your laptop gets too hot.  Most of the time, the max temperature is at boiling, 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius. However, you should check your manual for the max temperature for your computer. Nonetheless, your laptop should run below 122 degrees Fahrenheit or 50 degrees Celsius most of the time.

While some girls will message you first, it’s often up to you to make the first move. Waiting around for a girl to message you is passive, but starting the conversation is active and shows you are interested. Be sure to wait a few hours after you’ve matched so you don’t seem too eager.  Girls often don’t want to move first for fear that a person will assume they are more interested than they actually are. Remember that even though you matched, it’s not a guarantee that a girl is going to respond to your message. Don’t take it too seriously if girls don’t always respond when you message them. If you want to make her feel like you are talking to her personally, that she’s not just another girl, use her name. People are more likely to respond positively when you use their name in conversation.  Don’t go overboard and use it in every sentence. Once is enough. Include it at that beginning of the message like, “Hi, Layla. I was wondering how many people have quoted song lyrics to you on here?” Use it later for emphasis with something like, “I’ve always heard that you existed but I never quite believed it. Now it’s confirmed for me: a girl named Mallory really does exist.” It’s silly, but if you’re lucky she will think it’s cute. Girls get many messages that are boring and all sound the same, so your goal is to stand out. Write something that is specifically for her and doesn’t seem like a line you use over and over again. You want her to be curious about talking to you.  For example, say, “I can’t believe this happened again…” Follow up by mentioning how you get paired with lots girls that are food snobs (or another defining trait). Ideally, she’ll want to show you that she is different from the other girls. Your main goal is to get her thinking, so avoid anything that’s simple like “Hello,” “How are you?” or “What’s up?” Those won’t stand out to her and won’t make her want to talk to you. Other options are, “Tracy, could you settle a bet between me and my friend?” or “Jen, what should I message you if I really...

While some kids are more sociable than others, your child can become clingy when she is uneasy about a new situation. Kids can read body language and look to you for reassurance. Don’t forcibly pry your child off you but allow her to stay close for about ten minutes and slowly separate yourself.  Sit close by, play with her, and talk to her but don’t hold your child. Stay in the same room as you slowly move away. Make sure to always say goodbye to let your child know that you will be returning. If you have an infant or toddler, try wearing them in a carrier or sling. This can help to make them feel more secure. Kids whine because they want something but don’t know how to get it. Don’t give in to your child but rather model the tone you would like your child to use. Say things like, “use your words” or “does daddy like whining? How do you ask for something?” Make sure to praise your child when he uses the correct tone and asks for something politely. Show her what you mean if she doesn’t remember how to ask. Kids tell on each other because they are developing their sense of right and wrong and get upset when they see a rule being broken. Tell your child that it’s your job to find out who’s breaking the rules as long as no one is getting hurt or doing something dangerous. Cut down on siblings squabbling by giving them their separate space. If you are short on space, even assigning a corner to each sibling can suffice. Let them be able to put their stuff down and and know that they are in charge of that area. Children are naturally picky eaters as they want familiar food to comfort them. It is also one of the only times when they can have control. Get your child involved in choosing and preparing her own food. For example, allow her to wash the potatoes or sprinkle cheese on pasta.  You may also set a timer so your child doesn’t dilly dally during a meal. If your child is hungry, keep healthy snacks available on low shelves. Snacks like whole-grain cereal and granola. Ask your child to help you find recipes to...

While some people have reported successfully changing their stuck pixels' statuses by putting pressure on them or using heat, doing so is more likely to harm your screen than it is to fix it. The other issue with this method is that it will often void your warranty. Your screen must be on for this method to work. It is imperative that you are showing a black image and not just a blank signal, as you need the back-lighting of the LCD to be illuminating the back of the panel. A Sharpie marker with the cap on, an incredibly dull pencil, a plastic stylus, or the end of a makeup brush would all work for this. Before you proceed further read the warnings at the end of this article. Physically rubbing your monitor might make things worse. This will prevent the hard surface of the object from scratching up your monitor. If the object is capable of poking through the cloth, it's too sharp. Find a different object. You should see a light white rippling effect appear around the point of contact. Try to apply pressure only to the stuck pixel and not the surrounding area. If the pixel is still stuck, you can repeat the pressure, or proceed with using heat; if it isn't stuck, however, shut down your monitor immediately and leave it off for at least one hour. If you can, heat water on the stove until it's just beginning to show air bubbles at the bottom of the container (around 190 degrees Fahrenheit), then put the washcloth in and dump the hot water over the washcloth. You don't want to burn your fingers in the next steps, so use oven mitts or a heavy-duty washcloth. This will protect the monitor from moisture. Make sure the seal is completely closed. Applying light pressure in this manner should loosen the pixel's internals, potentially unsticking it in the process. Make sure not to hold the bag against the pixel for more than a few seconds at a time. If it's been fixed, you're done. If not, there isn't much else you can do without help from a professional repair service, so either take your monitor into a repair...

While some people store their own blood due to distrust of donated blood, most private blood storing involves storing blood from the umbilical cord of an infant. Patients with certain life-threatening conditions can be treated with blood transfusion using blood from the umbilical cord of a healthy baby. Many parents feel storing their own child's umbilical cord could be helpful in the event the child needs a blood transfusion later in life. Cord blood contains stem cells. Stem cells are able to form into many different types of cells which make them valuable in the treatment of certain disease like sickle cell disease, leukemia, lymphoma, immune deficiency syndromes, and metabolic diseases. Storing umbilical cord blood is costly. You can donate the blood from the cord for free, but you must pay a private facility if you want the blood stored for your own child in the event of an emergency in the future.  Private blood banks exist throughout the country. You can ask your doctor about private blood storage services for the nearest facility in your area.  Blood needs to be stored in specific conditions at specific temperatures in order to be viable for later medical use. Therefore, you cannot store umbilical cord blood at home. This practice is also illegal in many states. While the practice has become more popular in recent years, umbilical blood storage is controversial. It is not recommended the American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. However, some parents and doctors still defend the practice.  Using blood from your own child's umbilical cord does increase the likelihood of a blood transfusion being successful to a small degree. However, oftentimes children respond just as well, if not better, to donor blood.  The likelihood of the blood from your child's umbilical cord ever being used for your child is slim — less than 4/100th of 1 percent. It is more than likely your child will need someone else's...

While some serious fractures poke through the skin (called an open fracture), most remain hidden underneath the skin (called closed fractures). Take a look at the injured person's limbs and neck and check for unnatural angles or positions that likely indicate a fracture or dislocation. Look for a limb that looks shorter, twisted or bent in an unnatural looking way.  It's important not to move the neck, head or spine if it looks crooked or misaligned because you could cause permanent nerve damage and make the situation worse. While looking for deformities, compare side-to-side (left leg to right leg, for example) to better notice anything strange or unusual that's indicative of a broken bone. Noticing an open fracture is much easier due to it poking out of the skin. Open fractures are considered more serious due to significant blood loss and risk of infection. You may have to loosen or remove some clothes to check thoroughly, but make sure to ask permission if the person is conscious. A fractured bone is a major injury that requires lots of force, so expect to see swelling, redness and/or bruising. The inflammation and color changes develop quickly near the fracture site, so you shouldn't have to wait very long to see them. Again, some clothing removal is likely necessary to see swelling.  Swelling produces a visible lumpiness, inflating or ballooning of tissue around the broken bone, but don't mistake it for fat deposit. Swelling makes the skin tight and warm to the touch, whereas fat is jiggly and cool to the touch. Swelling and color changes happen due to broken blood vessels that bleed into surrounding areas beneath the skin. Red, purple and dark blue are common colors associated with broken bones. An open fracture causes external (visible) bleeding, which should be easy to see because it will soak through most types of fabrics pretty quickly. Although broken bones tend to be very painful (even small hairline / stress fractures), using pain to gauge an injury in an emergency situation can be tricky. First...

While some students can find story problems more complex, others will thrive when they better understand the real-world implications of learning addition.  Help your child recognize three different situations that require addition:  "Result unknown" problems -- for example, if Meredith has two cars and on her birthday she receives three more, how many cars does she now have in all? "Change unknown" problems -- for example, if Meredith has two cars, and after opening all her birthday presents she now has five cars, how many cars did she receive for her birthday? "Start unknown" problems -- for example, if Meredith receives three cars for her birthday and now she has five, how many cars did she have to start off with? Real-world situations will involve different parameters.  Understanding how these work will help your child develop tools to solve addition story problems.  "Join" problems involve the growth of a quantity.  For example, if Elizabeth bakes three cakes and Sara bakes six more, how many cakes are there altogether?  "Join" problems may also ask students to solve for unknown change or start figures -- for example, if Elizabeth bakes three cakes and Elizabeth and Sara produce nine cakes in all, how many cakes did Sara bake? "Part-part-whole" problems involve adding two static figures.  For example, if there are 12 girls in the class and 10 boys, how many students are in the class altogether? "Compare" problems" involve an unknown in a compared set of values.  For example, if Geoff has seven cookies, and he has three more cookies than Laura, how many cookies does Laura have? Reading- and writing-oriented children may especially benefit from books that incorporate addition themes.

While some supplements can be helpful for treating high triglycerides, they can also interact with other medications. Additionally, they may be unsafe if you have certain medical conditions. Before trying any supplements to treat your triglyceride levels, talk to your doctor about which ones you can safely take. For example, fish oil supplements can interfere with your blood’s ability to clot properly when taken at high doses. Your doctor may recommend against using them if you have a bleeding disorder or are taking a blood-thinning medication, such as warfarin. Niacin can also interact badly with other medications, so give your doctor a full list of any medicines you are taking before trying it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посоветуйтесь с врачом, прежде чем принимать какие-либо биологически активные добавки.


While some tanks come with bases that are designed to support their weight, standalone tanks will need somewhere sturdy to sit. Find an empty table, bench, or another spot that will be able to hold your tank while it is full of water.  1 litre (34  fl oz) of water weighs 1 kilogram (35 oz). In a big tank, this can add up quickly to become very heavy. Make sure that your tank will be properly supported and that you won’t need to move it once it’s full of water. If you don’t have anywhere to place your aquarium, you can purchase an aquarium stand online of from your local pet store that will be able to support the tank. Tropical fish are very sensitive to temperature and noise, so their tank should be safe from anything that might disrupt them. Place the tank in a location that won’t get a lot of direct sun or wind from open windows. The tank should also be far away from any speakers that may cause harsh vibrations. Keeping the aquarium in the corner of a room should help avoid many of these potential issues. This will also reduce the chance of the tank getting knocked over by accident. Your tank will need to have a heater, a filter, and a light, which will all require a nearby electrical socket. When choosing a location for your tank, check that there are adequate power sockets nearby to avoid having to run extension cables all over the place. You should also ensure that there’s no chance of any cords coming from the aquarium’s heater or filter being pulled out by young children or excitable pets. Keep the cords tucked away to ensure they are always plugged in. If you have a cat or dog, they may be fascinated by the aquarium and the wildlife inside. Even though your aquarium will have a lid on it, some ambitious animals may try and get inside to catch the fish. Find somewhere to place the tank that will reduce the chances of any curious creatures from getting inside.  Keeping your aquarium on a sturdy surface high off the ground will reduce the chances of pets disrupting it. If you have cats, you may also need...

While some volunteer opportunities will be relatively low-key when it comes to the application process, others will want many of the same things an employer would want. For instance, many will have you fill out an application. They'll likely want to talk with you, as well as check your references. Be courteous and professional throughout these interactions.  Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as you would for a job interview. Be ready to talk about yourself, your background, and what you have to offer to the organization.  Remember, the interview is also a time for you to assess whether the organization is the right fit for you. Don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have. Organizations are going to have certain objectives for their volunteers. Some may require training or a certain number of hours per week. Some may have a rigid volunteer schedule, while others may be more flexible. The important thing is you know what you're getting into ahead of time.  For instance, volunteers at a museum may be expected to learn parts of the galleries to give tours, while volunteers at a clinic will be expected to maintain certain privacy standards. If you're helping with a 5K charity run, you may find volunteers are expected to do things like sign people in, assist at water stations, or help organize the crowd. For some organizations, training will be minimal. You may need to attend a short orientation, for instance. In other organizations, it may be more extensive. One suicide crisis organization, for instance, requires its volunteers to take a training course and get certification that costs $250, though you may be able to get assistance with the cost. That is, you don't want to immediately commit to volunteering three times a week for a year only to find that you hate your volunteer position. Of course, you can always back out, but it's better to commit to just a little bit of time at first to see if you like volunteering at the organization. Once you've volunteered there for a short period and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспринимайте волонтерство как обычную работу. Спросите, чего ожидают от волонтеров. Пройдите необходимое обучение. Не торопитесь брать на себя много обязанностей. Смените организацию, если это необходимо.


While spraying is usually a behavioral problem, if making certain household adjustments does not resolve the issue a trip to the vet is needed. A basic exam can rule out or identify and treat any medical problems that may be causing the spraying. Bladder control issues, especially in older cats, can be a sign of serious problems like organ failure. If your cat is not fixed, this may be what's causing the spraying as the behavior is used to advertise to mates. Spraying is a sign of sexual maturity in cats, and having your cat fixed can stop the behavior.  If possible, have your cat neutered before he is 6 months old. More than 90% of cats will not start spraying if they're fixed in this time frame.  In older cats, roughly 87% will stop spraying after being neutered. While the majority stop immediately, a little under 10% will take a few months to cease spraying. Spraying, even when caused by stress or anxiety, can be treated with certain medications prescribed by a veterinary professional.  Anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications, given orally, can be obtained by consulting your vet. These can ease tensions caused by a multiple cat household or anxiety caused by an erratic schedule.  Always consult with a veterinarian, and know your cats medical history. Certain medical issues can interact poorly with medications.  All medication has potential side effects. Ask your vet what side effects to look for, and how severe such side affects are, before giving your cat any meds.

TL;DR in Russian:

Покажите питомца ветеринару. Кастрируйте (стерилизуйте) питомца. Прибегните к использованию медикаментов.


While stains are one thing, taking time to care for your carpet as a whole will ensure it gets its best possible longevity. Getting your carpet cleaned every 12-18 months is optimal. You can either hire a professional cleaning company or buy a carpet cleaning machine.  It's generally recommended you hire a pro if you can afford the expense. A professional job will ensure the carpet is as clean a it can be, and minimizes the risk of complications. The best way to solve a stain is to prevent it outright. Unlike a carpet, a mat can be easily thrown into the laundry or cleaned by hand. Placing mats in areas with a high risk for stains and you may well save yourself time and stress in the future.  The front door to your home is a choice area to place a mat; not only is it one of the most highly-trafficked areas in your home, it'll also come with the threat of dirt and mud trailed in from the outside. Placing mats beside kitchen and bathroom sinks is a good way to trap water. The same goes beside baths and showers, as anyone using the shower will track water and suds with them when they get out. If you have carpets, vacuuming is an absolute must. Dust and dirt can get trailed in and make your carpet feel gritty pretty fast. Vacuuming every day or two will ensure your carpet's always looking and feeling its best.  If you don't have the time to vacuum regularly, investing in a robotic automatic vacuum is relatively inexpensive and a great way to keep your carpets clean without having to invest a great deal of time into it. Left for more than 24 hours, wet or damp carpet will encourage mildew and bacterial growth. Needless to say, this isn't the sort of thing you want in your home. A dehumidifier will help suck up excess moisture if your home has a tendency for such. Stains become much more permanent the longer they're left unattended. If you solve them as soon as they first happen, you'll be saved a lot of trouble in the future.

TL;DR in Russian:

Раз в год чистите ковер. Стелите в рискованных местах половики. Часто пылесосьте ковры. Используйте осушитель воздуха. Старайтесь немедленно избавляться от пятен.


While standalone electronic musical instruments are enough to play electronic music, you will need a computer system if you want to produce electronic music.  A desktop or laptop works well for creating music. If you plan on producing music at a fixed location, you’ll probably want a desktop. If you want to produce music at different locations, such as wherever your band rehearses, you’ll probably want a laptop. Use the operating system you’re most comfortable with. However, you should use the most recent version of Windows or MacOS  that you can get access to. Your system should have a powerful enough CPU and enough memory to easily handle creating music with it. If you don’t know what to look for, a custom-built system designed for audio or video game usage should give you an idea of what kind of specifications to look for. You can make perfectly good electronic music with the sound chip that came with your computer and inexpensive speakers. However, if you can afford it, you should consider one or more of the following upgrades:  Sound card. Using a sound card designed for making electronic music is recommended if you plan to do a lot of external recording.  Studio monitors. These are not computer monitors, but rather loudspeakers designed for studio recording. (“Monitor” in this sense means that the speaker accurately reproduces the source audio with no or minimal distortion.) Lower-cost quality studio monitors include those made by M-Audio and KRK Systems, while higher-end monitors include those made by Focal, Genelec, and Mackie.  Studio-grade headphones. Listening through headphones instead of speakers lets you concentrate on individual parts of your song better, helping you track rhythms and sound levels. Studio headphone manufacturers include Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser. You’ll need the following software applications for making electronic music:  Digital audio workstation (DAW). The DAW is the actual music-making software that enables all your other software components work together to make music....

While standing, hold the sheet horizontally in front of you. Fold the sheet widthwise until it is the proper length. It should cover from your armpits to your legs. How much, or little, of your legs you cover, depends on what you want. Holding the folded sheet horizontally in front of you, first wrap one side around your chest and then the other side - like a towel. Leave 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2 m) of one corner loose at the front of your body. Twist the 4 foot (1.2 m) length a few times to make a sort of rope. Run this twisted sheet over your shoulder and behind your neck. Tie the end of the twist to the sheet running across your chest. Spend some time smoothing the layers and folds. Then pin the toga onto your tube top. Take extra time to pin the halter securely. Tie a belt or rope just under the bust or at the natural waist.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите нужную длину. Оберните ткань вокруг груди. Сделайте петлю. Отрегулируйте и зафиксируйте. Используйте аксессуары (по желанию).


While standing, raise your arms straight into the air. Your palms should be oriented towards the sky and fingers pointing behind you. This exercise is best learned with a friend nearby for support if necessary. Puff out your chest and slowly lower yourself backwards towards the floor. Take your time and control your movement. Moving too fast can cause you to lose your balance and fall, injuring yourself.  If you’re stuck here, you may find it helpful to use a chair or table as a halfway support. You can use the support until you’re confident in your ability to go all the way down. Bending all the way backwards takes some serious flexibility. If you’re stuck, get into a bridge and rock back and forth. Rock all the way onto your hands and feet. This allows your back to really curve and helps prepare for the standing bend. Once you begin to approach the ground, lock your arms to ensure that you don’t smack your head when you land. After your arms have been locked, keep arching back until your hands are on the ground. Keep your stomach flexed and pointed tight to the ceiling as you hold the position. While in a backbend, keep your feet firmly planted. Imagine your weight being distributed evenly on all four limbs. This will help you stay balanced. While professionals can arch their way back up and out of a backbend, you may find it easier to let your knees drop, and unlock your arms. Tuck your head into your chin and cave your body. This will put you flat onto your back and safely on the floor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поднимите руки над головой. Наклонитесь назад. Зафиксируйте руки на полу. Выйдите из стойки.


While steaming is the most common method used to cook momos, there are other ways to cook them.  You can pan fry or deep fry them, or boil and serve them in a soup called mothuk. Fill your steamer pot with enough water to boil for several minutes.  Set it over high heat.  There is too much water in the pot if your steamer basket becomes submerged under the water once you set it in the pot.  If you’ve used your steamer basket to keep your momos moist while shaping them, then you should be ready to go.  If not, make sure to lightly grease your steamer basket with vegetable oil before setting your momos inside.  This will keep them from sticking. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water and cover.  Allow the momos to steam until they are done.  The time it takes for them to cook will vary depending on the size of your momos.  If you rolled your dough into balls by hand, your momos will likely be smaller than if you created your flat circles using a glass cup. For the smaller momos, let them steam for 5-6 minutes.  For the larger momos, let them steam for closer to 10 minutes.  Check the larger momos around 6 minutes to ensure they still need to cook for longer. Momos that are fully cooked will look transparent and will not feel sticky. Remove them from the steamer pan and sprinkle with the remaining scallions. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.  Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil.  Carefully place each momo in the pan so that they do not touch each other or the sides of the pan.  Fry each until golden brown on both sides. You can use a deep pan to fry your momos, but they cook best in a deep fryer.  Fill your pan or deep fryer with a generous amount of oil, and allow it to get hot.  Check to see if the oil is hot enough by dropping a piece of dough into the oil.  If it bubbles, you can now add your momos to the oil to cook. Allow the momos to fry for a few minutes on each side.  Take them out of the oil when they’re done and set them on a paper towel to let the excess oil drain off....

While still being researched, usage of these herbs may increase hemoglobin levels. They are used in ayurvedic medicine to treat iron deficiency anemia. Talk to your doctor about these supplements and how much is appropriate for you. Avoid using it while pregnant. Nettle leaf is an herb that can be a rich source of iron and is customarily used to treat arthritis. Iron plays an important role in producing and absorbing hemoglobin. The more iron you take, the more hemoglobin will be produced. Nettle leaf is available in many vitamin and supplement stores and online. It is available as an oil, in capsule form, and even as a tea. While results are mixed on its effectiveness, some studies reveal that the consumption of dong quai can restore hemoglobin levels to a nearly normal range. It is traditionally utilized to treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual symptoms, menstrual cramps, constipation and anemia. The cobalt in dong quai is thought to increase the hemoglobin content of your blood. Dong quai is mostly available in capsule form, though it can also be used as an oil you can mix into your drinks. It is available at supplement stores, some pharmacies, and online. Studies demonstrate that patients with kidney failure that were given 45 mg of chitosan showed relatively reduced cholesterol levels and increased hemoglobin levels. Talk to your doctor about this natural remedy and if it's right for you. Chitosan is available online and in special vitamin supplement stores. For the record, it's pronounced KITE-uh-san.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте биодобавки с растением Ашваганда (withania), чтобы повысить уровень гемоглобина. Листья крапивы являются источником железа. Попробуйте биодобавки с дягилем китайским. Вы можете попробовать принимать хитозан.


While still in the water, irrigate the wound with sea water, removing all debris and foreign bodies from the affected area. Use tweezers from a first-aid kit if necessary. Once the area is thoroughly irrigated and all foreign bodies are removed, come out from the water and dry the area off with a clean towel, taking care not to injure yourself further.  DO NOT remove any penetrating debris from neck, chest, or abdomen. Bleeding is common after a sting. As always, the best way to stop bleeding is by applying direct pressure at the source or slightly above the source with one finger for a few minutes. The longer the pressure is held, the more likely the bleeding will subside. Try using hydrogen peroxide in conjunction with holding pressure to help stop bleeding if you cannot control it with direct pressure alone. Careful, hydrogen peroxide may sting! You can combine this step with the previous step of applying direct pressure to control bleeding. Soaking the wound in hot water helps alleviate the pain by denaturing the venom protein complex. Optimal temperature is 45°C (113°F), but be certain not to cause any burns. Leave the wound soaking for 30 – 90 minutes, or until the pain has subsided. Proper wound care includes keeping the area clean by applying soap and rinsing with water as well as keeping the wound dry at all times. Keep the wound uncovered and apply antibiotic ointment daily. Avoid non-antibiotic creams, lotions, and ointments. Over the next several days, if the area becomes red, tender, itchy, sore, or begins to swell or develop a cloudy discharge, seek medical attention at the local urgent care center or emergency room. You may need antibiotics and/or drainage of an abscess.

TL;DR in Russian:

Промойте рану морской водой. Контролируйте кровотечение. Намочите рану горячей водой. Следите за признаками инфекции в ране.


While sunflowers can be started indoors, they work best if they're started in the ground. Sunflower roots are sensitive to being moved, so transplanting them may kill them. They grow best at temperatures between 64 and 91ºF (18–33ºC), but you can plant at slightly lower temperatures, once the last frost has passed. Sunflowers usually take 80 to 120 days to mature and produce new seeds, depending on the variety. If the growing season is shorter than this in your area, plant the sunflowers two weeks before the last frost; most seeds will probably survive. There are many sunflower varieties and hybrids, but most gardeners will only need to look at a couple characteristics, usually described on the seed packet or online listing. Be sure to check the sunflower's maximum height, since this ranges from dwarf varieties under 1 foot (30 cm), to giant sunflowers 15 ft (4.6 m) or taller. Also, decide between a sunflower that produces one stalk and flower, or one that branches out into multiple stalks with several smaller blooms. It is not possible to grow plants from roasted sunflower seeds, but you can grow it from sunflowers in bird seed, as long as the outer shell is present. Moisten a paper towel slightly, so it is damp but not soaked or dripping. Place the sunflower seeds on one half of the towel, then fold it over to cover them.  If you have a large number of sunflower seeds, and don't mind a lower success rate, you can skip straight to planting. Seeds planted directly in the soil typically take 11 days to emerge.  If you have a long growing season, try germinating seeds in batches one or two weeks apart, so you'll have blooms in your garden for a longer period of time. Put the damp paper towels in a plastic bag. Check on them once or twice a day, and continue once the seeds have sprouted. Typically, you'll see sprouts emerge from most of the seeds within 48 hours. Once this happens, move on to planting the seeds. Keep the paper towels at a temperature above 50ºF (10ºC) for best results. If the seeds don't sprout...

TL;DR in Russian:

While sunflowers don't necessarily need additional feeding to grow, fertilizer can make the colors on your flower heads brighter and bolder. Start with a high-nitrogen liquid plant fertilizer, then switch to one with more phosphorus when the bud begins to bloom. You can also add diluted fertilizer to your sunflower's water. Take care not to over-fertilize your sunflower – the stem may break. As the seedlings grow, they need as much direct sunlight as possible so the stems will be thick and strong and able to support the large flower head. Once grown, your sunflower should have 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day. The heliotropic heads of sunflowers follow the path of the sun. If not in direct sunlight, they will bend towards the sun, which may damage the stem over time.

TL;DR in Russian:

При желании используйте удобрения. Держите растения под прямым солнечным светом.


While television sometimes portrays ideal families that don't have issues, that is not a normal representation of life. Many normal families have issues involving stress, misunderstanding, frustration, hurt, anger, and disconnection. Having an argument with a family member is a normal part of life that is bound to happen even in the healthiest of families. Even though it's normal, you may still experience negative feelings such as sadness, hurt, anger, and frustration.  Arguments may arise due to someone's poor treatment of a family member, because of a longstanding unresolved issue, or due to other family dynamics. Because you learn how to handle stress and conflict from your family, unhealthy behaviors can persist through generations. You all must work together to overcome conflicts and to change poor coping strategies. If your family has issues with mental illness, substance abuse, or other chronic issues, consider entering therapy to discuss how you can make changes for yourself. If your family members are willing, consider going to therapy together. Leaning on an unbiased third party can help you cope with fighting in your family. Make sure the person you confide in will listen to you without taking sides or breaking your confidence. Vent to them when something goes wrong, and let them help you sort out your feelings. Talking to someone who is not involved in an argument can help you vent your frustrations. However, another advantage of confiding in a friend is the ability to get some perspective. That person may be able to spot when you are being unreasonable and advise you on how to make amends when you have taken an argument to far. When there is turmoil in your family, you must attend to your own mental and emotional needs to cope. You may not even notice how tense and stressed you feel after fighting with your family, but your mind and body are certainly experiencing the effects. Stress can cause you to make rash decisions and even become physically ill. Counteract this stress by treating your mind...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите — проблемы есть в каждой семье. Найдите человека, который не задействован в конфликте. Заботьтесь о себе. Проконсультируйтесь с семейным психологом. Запаситесь терпением.


While the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack is gone, the traditional charging port--also known as the Lighting port-- is still at the bottom of your phone. You'll plug your Lightning headphones cable into this slot. These should fit into the Lightning port the same way your iPhone 5 or 6 charger does. Since Apple includes a set of headphones with every iPhone release, you'll want to test your headphones out to make sure they work properly. For best audio results, make sure the right headphone (marked with an "R") goes in your right ear, and vice versa. This will open your iTunes library. This should begin playback; if you can hear your music, you've successfully used headphones on your iPhone 7! If you can't hear anything in your headphones, try adjusting your phone's volume. There may also be a volume adjust panel on the headphones cord itself.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите порт Lightning на iPhone. Подключите наушники к порту Lightning. Вставьте наушники в уши. Разблокируйте телефон и коснитесь приложения «Музыка», чтобы открыть медиатеку iTunes. Коснитесь песни, чтобы начать ее воспроизведение.


While the Shakespearean sonnet always has the exact same rhyme scheme, the Petrarchan sonnet does not have a single pattern. Though the first eight lines (the octave) always follow a rhyme scheme of ABBAABBA, the closing six lines (the sestet) have some variation. There are five patterns, though, that are most common in the tradition of the Petrarchan sonnet:  CDCDCD CDDCDC CDECDE CDECED CDCEDC All lines should follow the “ta-TUM ta-TUM ta-TUM ta-TUM ta-TUM” pattern, but remember to insert metrical variation from time to time to enliven the rhythm and draw attention to key phrases. Whereas the Shakespearean sonnet has a top-heavy structure of 3 quatrains and a couplet, the Petrarchan sonnet is a little more balanced, using an eight-line octave and a six-line sestet to develop the poem's subject. As such, it's well-suited to complex issues that require a lot of room to resolve, rather than the easy, witty resolution of a Shakespearean sonnet's closing couplet. The octave introduces and presents a problem. The turn, or volta, occurs at the beginning of the sestet (Line 9); the sestet offers new insight into the dilemma presented in the octave. Consider William Wordsworth's “Nuns Fret Not at Their Convent's Narrow Room” as an example for analysis:  The octave progresses through a series of examples of creatures and people who are not bothered by restricted spaces. The progression moves from the most revered element of society to the lowliest: from nuns, to hermits, to scholars, to manual laborers, to insects. The turn in this sonnet actually occurs a line early, at the end of the octave. Although this is not purely traditional, poets throughout history have experimented with the form and manipulated it to their needs. You should feel free to do the same. In Line 8, “In truth” marks the volta or turn; now, Wordsworth will give more insight into the idea of being comfortable in restrained spaces. The sestet suggests that the formal restrictions of the sonnet — with its rhyme scheme, iambic pentameter restriction,...

While the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric need more scientific investigation, many people take it regularly in hopes of reducing inflammation in general. If you want to treat inflammation related to your acne with turmeric, one way you can do that is by ingesting it daily in pill form.  Consult with your doctor before taking turmeric supplements to make sure that they will not interact with any medicines that you are taking and that they are safe for you to take. Dried turmeric in pill form is usually available in all-natural food stores, but it is also available online. In order to figure out dosing, follow the directions on the packaging of your specific turmeric pills. Turmeric is probably best known as a food additive and spice. It is used to turn foods yellow, including curries and mustard, and has a subtle, slightly bitter taste. Try adding it to your favorite recipes to incorporate it into your diet.  Add a pinch of black pepper whenever you cook with turmeric. The pepper will boost the beneficial effects of the turmeric. One food that turmeric can easily be added to is rice. If using 1 cup (237 ml) of uncooked rice, add between 1/2 and 1 tablespoon (7-15 ml) of turmeric powder to the rice before cooking, depending on the level of flavor and color you desire. The turmeric will turn the rice a bright yellow and will give it a wonderful flavor. You can make your own turmeric tea with dried or fresh turmeric. Combine a small amount of turmeric, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried or 1 inch (2.5 cm) fresh, with 1 cup (237 ml) of hot water. You can add a variety of ingredients as well, including cinnamon, ginger, honey, and lemon.Turmeric tea is also available from commercial tea companies in tea bags.

While the basics of speaker technology have not really changed since 1924, audio technicians have been perfecting the design, electronics, and sound of speakers ever since. That said, all speakers contain a few basic components:   Driver: Transforms an electrical signal into sound. Drivers come in many shapes and sizes, but all share the same function -- they make noise. Many speakers have multiple drivers to handle many frequencies. For example, "woofers" are large drivers that work well for low-frequency sounds like bass, while "tweeters" handle high frequencies.  Crossovers: These small relays take complex electrical signals and break them up into smaller parts to send to different drivers, isolating bass, treble, and mid-range frequencies.  Cabinet: This is the shell of a speaker where the electronics are housed. In order to eliminate noisy "resonance" or to get greater volume they are produced in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. While you can certainly buy all of the parts separately, it is incredibly difficult to build good speakers without years of studying the principles of sound and electricity. However, the budding DIY speaker enthusiast has another option -- buying pre-designed speaker kits with drivers, crossovers, and cabinets included. When searching for a good speaker kit, you should consider:  Is the cabinet is included? Many speaker kits only contain blueprints for the cabinet -- you will have to buy, cut, and fasten the wood together yourself. Is the crossover pre-connected? Depending on your comfort level with electronics, you may want to purchase a kit where the crossover is already assembled, or you can attach and solder the pieces yourself. How high-quality to you want your sound? Most audio professionals consult the Loudspeaker Design Cookbook or LDSB, for advice on choosing drivers and crossovers, and you can expect to pay more for better quality components. How powerful, or loud, do your speakers need to be. In general, this is determined by the size of you drivers. You will...

While the best option is to close off any areas that the starlings may build nests before they happen, you may discover nests and decide to remove them. Check on your state’s laws about disturbing birds’ nests, particularly those with eggs in them.  While the starlings are usually an unprotected species, other birds are protected.  Be sure you know it is a starling nest before disturbing it. Remember that you will need to have a plan for what to do with the birds after you trap them.  You will need to either release them a significant distance from the trap site or euthanize them humanely.  Consider hiring a professional pest control expert to help eliminate the trapped birds. There is a pesticide that targets starlings, but it can only be used by a licensed professional.  Call a pest control company to inquire about pesticides. This approach should probably be used after other tactics since it involves using a poisonous substance on your property. Be sure to check the hunting/shooting ordinances for your city and state.  Often, shooting just a few birds with a shotgun will make the remaining population decide to find a safer environment.  The noise of the gun may also frighten the birds away.  This may be considered an extreme measure and should be used as a last resort. This method is likely not a safe or legal option in urban areas.

TL;DR in Russian:

Избавьтесь от гнезд. Поймайте птиц. Наймите специалиста по работе с птицами, который имеет право использовать пестициды. Произведите отстрел.


While the cheesecake is still in the oven, use an oven mitt to gently shake the pan. Don’t be too rough with your still-warm dessert or it may crack. Simply jiggle the pan a small amount. Take care not to get water in the pan if you have baked your cheesecake using a water bath. When you shake the pan and a 2 in (5.1 cm) area in the center jiggles slightly, the cheesecake is done. If there is a large, jiggly area, or if liquid breaks the surface or sloshes over the edges of the pan, the cheesecake is not finished cooking. Bake the cheesecake for another 5 minutes or so before checking it again for doneness. If you used a fair amount of sour cream in your cheesecake, it will jiggle more than a cake that is filled primarily with cream cheese or ricotta. There will be a large soft spot in the center, so look for slightly brown, puffed-up edges to indicate when the cheesecake is done. Keep in mind, also, that the center will continue cook and firm up slightly as the cheesecake cools. If you continue cooking the cheesecake until the center is firm and doesn’t jiggle it will be baked for too long.

TL;DR in Russian:

Слегка встряхните форму с чизкейком. Взгляните, насколько сильно трясется центр чизкейка. Чизкейк со сметаной будет трястись сильнее, чем чизкейк со сливочным сыром.


While the cleaning methods provided in this article are appropriate for each type of brush, it is helpful to understand the way in which badger shaving brushes are "graded" (noting, however, that there is no standard naming convention, so name variations are given here):  Pure badger, or dark badger (standard) - the hair used here is derived from the stomach, shoulders, neck, and buttocks of the badger. This hair is usually very dark and it is coarser than other types of badger brush. Brushes made from this hair tend to be machine assembled, and they are the most affordable version of the badger shaving brush range.  Gray badger, standard, pure - this hair is taken from the tail and back of the badger. It is lighter, almost gray. Again, this version tends to be machine assembled. Premium badger, finest, tapered, or best badger - this hair is taken from the back of the badger and the color band varies from light, to dark band, to light again. The tips of the hairs are thinner than the base and this makes them soft. This version is usually assembled by hand and is expensive. It is thought to be best for light beards. Silver tips/silver-tip badger, sometimes referred to as "super", (although that can mean it is slightly inferior to the silver-tip) - this type of brush uses only neck hair that lightens during winter, making it very expensive. It is white, with a small dark band. It is very soft and is suitable for men with skin conditions.

While the colored pins can be used on a voodoo doll of yourself or someone else for good, some can also be used for evil. For example, if you wish to exert power over an individual, use the red pin, focus on the power you want the individual to submit to, and prick the voodoo doll of the individual in the head. Using the voodoo doll that represents the spirit you wish to call upon, create an alter for your doll, focus on the person you wish to harm or cause misfortune to, and petition the spirit to act on your behalf. In the same way as you would petition a spirit for yourself, light a candle that corresponds to the spirit and possibly offer a sacrifice. If you wish to invoke harm upon someone through a voodoo doll representing them, you can use regular pins or needles, rope, wire, water, or any sort of torture device you wish. Then, following the focusing technique, concentrate on the person you wish to harm and the actions you are carrying out.  Make sure you clear the doll of all previous energies. If the doll is in any way associated with someone else, they may experience the harm as well and you wouldn't want that! Most experienced practitioners of Voodoo suggest only to use your doll for good, because as the saying goes "what goes around comes around."

TL;DR in Russian:

While the computer reboots, press and hold the Shift button until you see the boot options menu. On the boot options screen, click Troubleshoot. On the Advanced options screen, click UEFI Firmware Settings.  If you don't see UEFI Firmware Settings, your computer didn't have Windows 8 pre-installed, and you'll need to get the BIOS version via the command prompt or the BIOS menu. The computer reboots into the UEFI firmware settings screen. Depending on your computer hardware, you'll see different information. The UEFI version will usually be under the Main or starting tab.

While the content of your retort matters, so too does the style with which you deliver it. Avoid condescension or superiority in tone of voice. Also avoid sounding hurt or insulted, as if your comeback has been forged in the fire of your burning rage. Speak your witty comeback clearly, quickly, and with confidence. Include a slight smile in your voice and eyes, because you need to veer to the funnier, humorous side of what is happening to be a successful wit. (or at least minimize it). Swearing isn't typically considered witty, but rather a visceral expression of emotions. It might make you feel better as tension is released, but mostly it makes you seem immature. It's also not going to hit the target of undoing their argument or statements. However, your opponent's swearing can definitely be used as a target of your wit, such as making a biting comment or saying in a monotone: "Oh, you're swearing now? How mature," and leaving it at that. Closely related to swearing, name-calling simply makes you look envious, lost, and overly emotional. Name-calling might again seem like a great outlet for your anger and frustration, but it works to your opponent's advantage all too easily and isn't that witty. If you must name-call, stick to their argument rather than them. For example, say "That's a very odd way to see the situation," rather than "You're an idiot." Or try "Well, I'm now thoroughly convinced of your ignorance in the matter" instead of “You’re so ignorant.” A witty comeback that seeks to assert your superiority or greater status will usually backfire, because it will turn into a matter of the other person insisting that "you think you're too good for me," and so forth. Once you're in this type of argument, things usually spiral ever more out of control.  Responding along the lines of "Yes, I used to have that same problem in school ... preschool, that is" can take on more or less of a snobbish air depending upon the context and your delivery. It is hard to walk the fine line between being witty and...

While the cookies are setting, turn the oven on and set it to 350°F (180°C). Allow it to heat fully, so it’s hot enough to bake the cookies when they’re ready. When the cookies are set, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Let the cookies bake for approximately 8 to 12 minutes, or until they become golden brown at the edges. Depending on the size of the cookie cutters you used, the cookies may need to bake longer. Large cookies may take up to 15 minutes. When the cookies are finished baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes. If you try to move them when they’re still hot, they’re likely to break. Once they’re partially cooled, use a spatula to move them to a cooling rack. Leave them on the rack for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until they’re cooled completely.  If you didn’t decorate your cookies with sugar and sprinkles, you can ice them once they’re completely cooled. Store the cookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze the baked cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разогрейте духовку. Выпекайте печенье до тех пор, пока его края не станут золотисто-коричневыми. Дайте печенью остыть на противне в течение нескольких минут. Переложите печенье на решетку для охлаждения выпечки, чтобы полностью остудить его.


While the demands of work and everyday life are constant, our will and ambition are sometimes not up to the task. We reach low points. It becomes hard to accomplish routine tasks. During these low points we have to remind ourselves to stay motivated. Look for ways that will keep you on task and focused.  Keep long-term goals in mind. If you are discouraged, step back and try to gain perspective. What are you doing? Why? Remind yourself of how hard you have worked, and remember that it is easier to tread water than to fall behind and catch up later. Rehearse your past triumphs. Revisit a time when you accomplished something important — maybe it was winning a "worker of the year" award or getting special recognition for your volunteering. Let some of the positive memories flood back.  You might also try reminding yourself of strengths. Write down your areas of skill and strength. Having a reinforced sense of self can be a powerful sources of motivation.  Take stock of what you’ve accomplished each day. In the evening, reflect and recognize what you’ve done. Take a few minutes. Create a list. You will probably be surprised at how many items there are.  If the source of your fatigue is deeper, consider using a vacation day or planning a day on your weekend for yourself. Rest and focus on re-energizing. Events in life rarely go exactly as planned. We run into unexpected problems with work, finances, or family, and it is important to be ready to adapt. Flexibility requires having an open mind, being ready to accept change, and sometimes making painful decisions. Without it, you may find yourself with lost opportunities.  One way to be flexible is to be prepared for all possibilities. Think about what might happen in the future, and consider different scenarios or perspectives. In other words, see the big picture. Be willing to learn new skills, methods, or ways to take on tasks. For example, instead of fretting about why you lost out on a recent promotion at work, look for ways to make changes that will improve...

Мотивируйте себя. Будьте гибким. Уменьшите темп. Мудро распоряжайтесь своим временем.


While the designs of compasses are different, all compasses include a magnetized needle that orients itself to the magnetic fields in the Earth. The basic field compass, also sometimes called a baseplate compass, features the following simple components you should familiarize yourself with as soon as possible:  The baseplate is the clear, plastic  plate on which the compass is embedded. The direction of travel arrow is the arrow in the baseplate pointing away from the compass. The compass housing is the clear, plastic circle that houses the magnetized compass needle. The degree dial is the twistable dial surrounding the compass housing that displays all 360 degrees of the circle. The magnetic needle is the needle spinning within the compass housing. The orienting arrow is the non-magnetic arrow within the compass housing. The orienting lines are the lines within the compass housing that run parallel to the orienting arrow. Place the compass flat on your palm and your palm in front of your chest. This is the proper compass stance, when traveling. If you're consulting a map, place the map on a flat surface and place the compass on the map to get a more accurate reading. While it might seem confusing that there are two kinds of "North," it's a basic distinction that you can learn quickly, and it's an essential piece of information to learn to use a compass properly.   True North or Map North refers to the point at which all longitudinal lines meet on the map, at the North Pole. All maps are laid out the same, with True North at the top of the map. Unfortunately, because of slight variations in the magnetic field, your compass won't point to True North, it'll point to Magnetic North.  Magnetic North refers to the tilt of the magnetic field, about eleven degrees from the tilt of the Earth's axis, making the difference between True North and Magnetic North different by as many as 20 degrees in some places. Depending where you are on the surface of the Earth, you'll have to account for the Magnetic shift to get an...

While the efficacy of fans during extreme heat and humidity has been debated, some research suggests fans are beneficial up to 97 °F (36 °C) with 80% humidity, and 108 °F (42 °C) with nearly 50% humidity.  Whether hand-held or electric, fans can keep you cool by continuously circulating air.  In your home and office space, locate fans in rooms where you are working or resting to keep the air circulating freely and to reduce the mugginess of heat.  Try making your own "swamp cooler."  These evaporative coolers can reduce temperature by significant amounts.  They range from the simple (i.e. a bowl of chilled water in front of a fan) to the semi-complex.  With just a few PVC pipes, a bucket, an electric fan, and a frozen gallon of water, you can create mid-40 °F (4 °C) wind. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers will not work with humid heat. A fan should not be the primary source of cooling down in extremely hot weather. Fans work well, but only if the weather is not too hot. Even if your home does not have central air, placing a small window air conditioner in one room of your home may help to keep it cool during the summer. For example, you could place the air conditioner in the room where you spend the most time, such as the living room, kitchen, or your bedroom.  You can also try running the air conditioner at the highest comfortable temperature to avoid racking up a high electricity bill.  Visit public buildings if you don't have adequate air-conditioning at home.  A few possible locations to avoid the heat: The library is a great place to get cool and learn new information. Grocery stores are air conditioned well.  And if it’s particularly hot, visit the freezer section and peruse for a while. The sun’s rays convert to heat.  However possible, you should block the rays coming into your house to keep the temperature down.  Closing curtains, lowering shades, or even blocking windows can significantly reduce the heat in your house and keep it cool.  Awnings work as well, because they keep the direct heat...

While the eggs are cooking in the hot water, fill a large bowl with cold water. Dissolve another 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of salt in the water, then add ice to lower the temperature further. When the eggs are done cooking, you will carefully move them into this bowl to stop them from cooking any more. After your eggs have cooked for the desired amount of time, gently drain the hot water from the pan, then move the eggs to the bowl of ice-water to stop the cooking process. Remove the eggs one by one with a slotted spoon to avoid cracking. Carefully drop the eggs into the bowl of ice water to bring their temperature down. Let them cool for 2-5 minutes. Once the eggs are cool enough to hold in your hand, put them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to loosen the shells. If you're not particular about how pretty your peeled eggs are—or if you like your eggs warm—you can skip the refrigerator and start peeling them immediately after chilling them. Spin an egg on a table to test whether it is hard-boiled without breaking it open. If the egg twirls quickly and easily, it is hard-boiled. If it wobbles, let it cook for longer. Press each egg into a clean, flat surface and roll it in your hand to crack the shell. Start peeling from the fatter end of the egg, where there should be a small empty space under the shell. This makes it slightly easier to peel.   Rinse the eggs under cold water as you peel them. This helps keep bits of shell and membrane from sticking to the egg. It is usually easier to peel eggs once they are cracked. Put the eggs back in the pot with the lid on. Shake the pot back and forth to crack the shells before you begin peeling. You may need to do this several times to crack them all. Pinch off a small section of shell and membrane from the large end. Slip the spoon inside the shell and membrane so that it cups the egg. Then, simply slide the spoon around to peel off sections of shell. The eggs are ready to eat as soon as you peel them. Store the leftover eggs in a sealed container, and cover them with a...

While the exact technique necessary to clean vinyl seats varies depending on the product you’ve chosen to use, you can generally begin by wiping the seats down with a damp rag, then applying the vinyl cleaner to another clean, damp rag.  After that, gently wipe the vinyl cleaning solution across the surface of the vinyl seats. There are a wide variety of vinyl cleaners available.  Popular products include Rejuvenate Leather & Vinyl Cleaner and Marine Vinyl Coat. Mix one tablespoon of ammonia, ¼ cup (59 milliliters) of hydrogen peroxide, and ¾ cup (177 milliliters) of water.  Scrub the vinyl seats with the mixture using a soft-bristled brush or sponge.  Dry the vinyl seats by wiping them down with a dry cloth. Diluting bleach and water in a 1:1 ratio will yield an effective solution for cleaning vinyl seats.  For instance, you might mix two tablespoons of bleach with two tablespoons of water.  Dip a cloth, stiff-bristled brush, or sponge in the mixture.  Scrub the vinyl seating down, then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Before applying the bleach solution, test it on a hidden area – the bottom of a vinyl seat, for instance.  Wipe it with a white paper towel, then check the paper towel to ensure no color comes off.  If color comes off, do not use the bleach solution to clean your vinyl seats.

While the following steps describe actions that are generally helpful for people with high blood sugar and associated health problems, they will not be as effective as specific recommendations tailored to your health problems and characteristics. Visit your doctor or doctor-recommended nutritionist regularly to check on progress and keep an eye out for possible health problems that result from high blood sugar. While exercise reduces blood sugar in the long run, it can actually increase your blood sugar in the short term by encouraging your body to produce glucose (sugar) to fuel your muscles. If you have diabetes or other health issues that require testing your own blood sugar, it's important to check your blood sugar levels before you begin exercising and about every 30 minutes during exercise. A doctor or drugstore may be able to provide you with a blood glucose meter or testing strip for testing your blood sugar. If you are diabetic, it's important to adapt your exercise routine to the results of a blood sugar test, as mentioned above. Decide whether exercising is safe at this time using these instructions, or the instructions your doctor provides for your specific case:  If you blood sugar is lower than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L), raise your blood sugar before exercising. A small snack containing carbohydrates should accomplish this, such as fruit or crackers. If you do not eat any carbohydrates and exercise anyway, you risk experiencing shakiness and anxiety, falling unconscious, or even entering a coma.  If the test result is between 100 and 250 mg/dL (5.6–13.9 mmol/L), no action is required unless your doctor instructed you otherwise. Continue to exercise. If you are diabetic, and especially if you have type 1 diabetes, you should not exercise when blood sugar is high without first testing for ketones. These are substances that cause serious health problems if they build up, and exercising might increase their levels. Test your urine for ketones using as ketosis test strip from a drugstore, following the...

While the general stopping power of a pistol is measurably low compared to almost any long gun, you want to make an informed choice to give you the best advantage.  Smaller calibers, such as .380, 9mm, etc, generally result in a higher bullet velocity, reduced recoil which allows for fast follow-up shots, higher capacity magazines (or smaller framed guns), and higher velocity bullets.      Large calibers, such as the venerable .45 feature slower bullets that have increased overall diameter, allowing for a wider initial wound channel (which gives you a slightly increased chance of hitting something vital). The heavier bullets and generally high muzzle energies increase recoil, resulting in slower follow-up shots and the larger diameter of the cartridges means lower capacity magazines.     Most U.S. self-defense experts consider .380 ACP (9 x 17 mm Browning Short) or 9mm as the minimum for adequate defense, while European Police believe that .32 ACP (7.65 x 17 mm Browning) as adequate. Making an informed decision about what caliber you will use requires experience.  Shoot many different calibers and choose the biggest caliber that you can comfortably shoot and make fast, accurate followup shots with. A semi-automatic .22 pistol or Ruger 10/22 carbine with a high-capacity magazine is easy to control when shooting fast and can be very effective at close range (most home-defense shots occur at less than 7 yards), and .22 ammunition is very cheap. Furthermore, a .22 won't penetrate as many walls, thus reducing property damage and risk to your neighbors if you miss. You'll want to be able to easily afford enough ammunition to keep up a regular practice routine.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбор калибра в пистолете – это самая распространенная тема для обсуждения среди пользователей пистолетов со склонностью к тактике. Наиболее решающим фактором является определение калибра - насколько точно и удобно вам с определенным калибром. Если ваша основная цель - это защита вашего дома, то не забывайте о .22-м калибре. Принимая решение, также имейте в виду стоимость боеприпасов!


While the goal of a fast is to help cleanse your body, that doesn’t mean everyone can do it. If you are have certain health conditions, or are not healthy enough to go without solid food for several days, fasting can be dangerous to your health.  Do not fast if you have kidney disease. Cleanses will create high levels of potassium and other minerals in your blood. Because your kidneys aren’t functioning properly, this can be hazardous to you. If you are diabetic, it is best not to do a juice fast. Relying on juices for your nutrition involves the heavy intake of sugars. This can cause your blood sugar to spike, leading to fatigue, unexplained weight loss, blurry vision, excessive hunger and thirst, and slower healing time for injuries and infections. Do not do a juice fast if you are undergoing chemotherapy. Your body will be taking in increased antioxidants from the juices, and lower levels of protein. Before undergoing any substantial change in your diet, you should discuss it with your doctor to make sure there aren’t other potential concerns. They will be able to let you know if there are certain aspects of your health you should be concerned about. If you are fasting for a specific health reason, you should make sure to do so under the supervision of a doctor or dietitian. They will help you keep track of your physical goals as well as keep an eye out for warning signs of other health problems. There is no one way to do a cleansing fast, and depending on your experience and interest in the program, you can fast for as little as a day, or up to several months. When thinking about your fasting length, consider your health, the cost, and your ability to stick with the program.  There are many different types of cleansing programs out there, each with their own recommendations for fasting time. Whichever one you pick, make sure you follow their guidelines. Extending the fast beyond their recommendations will not make it work better. If you are new to fasting, you should start with a short fast of a day or a...

While the grease is still warm, pour it off into another container or the trash. Don't pour grease down the drain, as it can lead to clogs. Getting rid of the grease first will make it easier to clean. You can even wipe down the pan with a paper towel, being careful not to burn your fingers.

While the idea of showing up at an airport and buying a ticket on the spot may sound fun, it’s unrealistic and likely quite expensive. Decide if you want to travel domestically or abroad, and then pick a city, series of cities, or region that you’d like to visit. At this point, you should also consider your financial situation: how long can you afford to travel for? International travel generally costs more than domestic, although frugal decisions while abroad can save substantial money.  For example, if you’re interested in touring the American northwest, you could spend a full week in a large city like Seattle, or you could divide your time between several cities, like Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland. If you’re traveling abroad, you may need to obtain a travel visa for the country you’re visiting. These can take some time to obtain. Contact the State Department of the country you’re planning to visit to find out if you need a travel visa and how to apply for this document. Spontaneous travel can be successful and fun whether or not you’re part of a group (or a pair), but solo travelers typically need to be more mindful of their own safety. If you’re traveling alone, make sure to book a hotel with a 24-hour front desk so you can check in late, and stay in open, public places at night. It’s also smart to regularly keep in touch with a friend or family member at home, who knows your travel itinerary. Whether you’re traveling with a group or alone, avoid wearing flashy jewelry or clothing, and each member of your party should carry more than one form of official identification (e.g. a passport and a driver’s license). Staying in the middle of a city or region will give you access to plenty of cultural and local events and places like theaters, concert venues, restaurants and bars, museums, and other places to visit. Once you’ve unpacked your bags in a town, plan to stay a few days; you can leave your schedule open and spontaneously visit areas of interest. If you decide to move between several cities or regions...

While the lion face is a great facial workout, it also helps relax the rest of your body. Making sure you are sitting up straight and taking a deep breath beforehand will ensure the exercise is effective. While breathing in, try to tense every muscle in your body. When you exhale, slowly relax your muscles, stick out your tongue, open your eyes wide, and splay your hands wide. Don't just stick your tongue straight out. Try to point it downward while grinning or opening your mouth wide. Hold this position for five to ten seconds. To get the maximum benefit for forehead wrinkles, make sure your eyes are wide open. Relax your whole body for a few seconds, and then repeat this exercise a minimum of three times.  On the last repetition, try to hold the position for a full minute. This is a great tension-relieving exercise that also stretches your entire face and improves circulation to the face.
