Wet nail polish is easier to remove while it is wet. The oils in the baby wipe will also help dissolve the nail polish, making it even easier to remove. It is ideal for young children and sensitive areas, such as the face. Dampen the corner of a soft towel with some oil, and gently rub the affected area. The oil should help dissolve the nail polish, and make it come off. Remove any oily residue with some warm water and gentle soap. The oil will also help nourish and soften the skin. Do not use non-acetone nail polish remover on the face. Dampen a cotton ball with some non-acetone nail polish remover and rub the affected area until the polish comes off. Rinse the area with some soap and warm water. Non-acetone nail polish remover is gentler than regular nail polish remover, but it may still leave the skin feeling dry. If this happens, try rubbing some hand lotion or cream over the area once you are done. Sometimes, soaking in water and a little bit of scrubbing with soap and a wash cloth may be all that's needed to loosen up dried nail polish. Be sure to use warm water, soap, and a mildly-abrasive washcloth or sponge. Gently scrub the area until the nail polish peels off. The warm water should also help it come off. Plan on the bath taking 15 to 20 minutes for best results. The nail polish will eventually wear off after a few days. Throughout the day, the skin will come in contact with clothing, toys, pillows, and towels. All of this will create friction, which will be enough to help peel the polish off. Young children may also learn from this experience, and not paint their face with nail polish again.

TL;DR in Russian:

Удалите лак для ногтей с помощью влажной детской салфетки, пока он не высох. Для чувствительных участков, например лица, попробуйте использовать детское, кокосовое или оливковое масло. Используйте не содержащую ацетона жидкость для снятия лака, чтобы очистить кожу на ладонях и ногах. Попробуйте принять ванну или душ. Подождите, пока лак сойдет сам.


Wet the affected area with warm water to loosen the paint and lather up with a mild liquid detergent. Get as much of the paint off as you can using the soap and water. Dry the area thoroughly with a towel before applying baby oil. Due to the repellent relationship between water and various oils, the baby oil will have trouble working if the skin is still wet. Squeeze an ounce or two of baby oil directly onto the paint spot and massage it into the skin. Work the dried paint away with the tips of your fingers, or with a cotton ball or sponge if the stain is particularly stubborn. Baby oil is proficient at breaking up and dissolving dried-on acrylic and oil-based paints.  Baby oil is one option that is much gentler and more beneficial to the skin than paint removers that use harsh chemicals as their primary agents.  Using a mildly abrasive implement like a cotton ball or sponge will help scour paint out of the deeper contours of the skin. Run some warm water over the area again to wash away the dissolving paint. If necessary, use another dab of baby oil on remaining stains. In addition to erasing tough paint spots, the baby oil will also leave your skin feeling smooth and moisturized.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помойте загрязненный участок водой с мылом. Вотрите детское масло в кожу. Смойте следы краски.


Wet the corner of a clean, white cloth with water. Rub the wet cloth on an inconspicuous area of the hat, like the inside. If the dye doesn’t come off onto the cloth, the fabric is colorfast and you can clean it. If the dye rubs off, you won’t be able to wash it. If you do try to wash the hat, the color will bleed out and the hat will be ruined. If the hat is dirty but can’t be washed, your best bet is to buy a new one. If the hat is particularly dirty, you can spray a mild stain treatment product on the fabric to help loosen the sweat and grime. Make sure the product doesn’t contain bleaching agents, like chlorine, which could fade the color. Put a small amount of a mild laundry detergent into a bucket or bowl then fill it up with cool water. Alternatively, you could use a mild shampoo to help remove the sweat and body oil. Swirl your hand in the solution to disperse the soap and create bubbles. The cloth doesn’t need to be sopping wet, just put a little bit of the soap and water mixture on a small section. Use it to rub the stained areas of the hat to remove the dirt, sweat, and oil. Wet new areas of the cloth as necessary and scrub the fabric until you’ve removed all the stains. After you’ve removed all the stains, use a gentle stream of cool water to rinse out the hat. Try to avoid completely soaking or submerging it if the hat has a cardboard brim. Then, soak up the excess water by pressing a towel into the fabric. Use your hands to reshape the hat, if you need to. Allow the hat to fully air dry, and place it in front of a fan if possible. Don’t dry the hat in direct sunlight or in a clothes dryer, as the fabric might fade or warp from the sun and/or heat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте, не линяет ли ткань головного убора. Если требуется, точечно обработайте пятна пятновыводителем. Приготовьте раствор жидкого моющего средства или шампуня и холодной воды. Смочите раствором чистую салфетку и с ее помощью ототрите пятна с головного убора. Прохладной водой осторожно смойте мыло с головного убора и дайте ему высохнуть.


Wet wood is soft, which makes it prone to splitting and breakage. Allow the surface to air dry before handling it. In the meantime, hold off on replacing furniture or setting other objects on it to avoid further accidents.  The heat of the iron will have evaporated most of the moisture, but it may take a few hours to regain its full hardness and rigidity. The wood will shrink somewhat as it dries, which can cause problems if you begin sanding or putting pressure on it too soon. In some cases, small flaws may be left behind in the wood, or the water might produce a slight discoloration. You can remedy this by running a square of high-grit sandpaper over the area until it blends in with the wood around it. Use light, smooth strokes to avoid scratching the wood surface, which may have been weakened by the dent. When you're done buffing imperfections out of finished surfaces, be sure to touch them up with a fresh coat of paint or laminate. This will help conceal any remaining traces of the dent and act as a barrier against knocks and bumps in the future.  In most cases, a single coat will do to cover up the spot where the dent was. Allow the refinished surface to air dry overnight before touching it. Steaming won’t always be enough to eliminate dents. Deep gouges and spots with breaking, splitting or chipping should be looked at by a professional. Extensive damage can usually be repaired with a durable epoxy or lacquer filler.  For bigger jobs, have a woodworker cut a special wood inlay to fit the damaged area.  Afterwards, the repaired surface will likely need to be resealed or stained.

TL;DR in Russian:

Wet your aluminum with water, then add a small squirt of dish soap to a rag or sponge. Use the sponge or rag to clean off any grime, dirt, food, etc. that is attached to the aluminum.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вымойте алюминий жидкостью для мытья посуды и водой.


Wet your hands with warm or cold running water. Lather your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds. Rinse off the soap thoroughly and dry your hands with a clean towel. This can prevent infections in your mouth. Use a hand sanitizer if running water and soap aren’t available. If they’re available, put on a pair of latex gloves. You can often find them in first-aid kits. This can prevent the cut on your tongue from becoming infected. If you don’t have gloves, make sure your hands are thoroughly washed before putting them in your mouth. Gargle some lukewarm water for several seconds. Focus your rinsing on your tongue. This can clear away blood and any possible debris in or on your tongue. Avoid removing anything that is stuck in the cut, such as a fish bone or a piece of glass. Instead, stop rinsing immediately, cover the cut with a piece of wet gauze, and seek medical attention. Use a piece of clean gauze or a clean towel and put gentle pressure on the cut. Don’t remove it until the bleeding stops. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, continue to place new gauze or towels on the cut until it stops or you can get medical attention. Don’t throw used bandages or gauze away if you’re planning on seeing a doctor. Keep them in a plastic bag and take them to the doctor’s office; they will show the doctor how much blood you’ve lost. Wrap an ice cube in a cloth. Place it on the cut and hold it there for a few seconds. This can constrict blood vessels and stop the bleeding. It can also ease any pain or discomfort you have. Remove the ice cube if it is very painful or gets too cold. This can prevent burns on your tongue. You should see a doctor if your tongue doesn’t heal on its own, but more pressingly, get emergency medical care if the cut is extremely severe or if you think you may be in shock. It may also help to wrap yourself in warm blankets it you’re experiencing shock. If you have any of the following symptoms related to a cut on your tongue, it’s time to head to the ER:  Uncontrolled bleeding Cut across the edge of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Wet-brining is great for ham or other smoking recipes. Try wet-curing your Christmas ham, for example, and then finishing it off in the smoker for a delicious recipe. Making a simple brine, and then adding the nitrites in the curing salt (which will cure the meat) is all it takes to wet-cure meat.  Try this basic brine recipe, or research brines with added nitrite for a different kind of taste. In one gallon of water, bring the following ingredients to a boil and then allow brine to cool completely:  2 cups brown sugar 1 and 1/2 cups kosher salt 1/2 cup of pickling spice 8 teaspoons of pink salt (not to be confused with sodium nitrite) A brining bag is essential for larger cuts of meat, like a Christmas ham. Smaller cuts of meat can simply go in resealable freezer bags, but make sure that there's enough room for the meat and brine to rest comfortably in.  For larger cuts of meat, Place the brining bag in a larger tub or container first, and then fill with brine. Add 1⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) to 1 gallon (3.8 L) of ice water to the brine to dilute the concentrated brine. Mix thoroughly before sealing. If you have a five pound piece of meat, brine for approximately two and a half days. Turn the meat every 24 hours if possible. The salt in the brine tends to be thicker on the bottom half of the brine and turning the meat allows the brine to work evenly. Change the brine after 7 days during the curing process to help prevent spoiling.   Wet-cured meat, such as ham, is great after smoking. Smoke your wet-cured meat in a smoker and serve on a special occasion.

TL;DR in Russian:

Тщательно промойте вяленое мясо в свежей холодной воде, чтобы избавиться от кристаллов соли на поверхности мяса. Выложите мясо на решетку, чтобы оно стекло, и оставьте на 24 часа в хорошо проветриваемом помещении, а затем храните в холодильнике не дольше 30 дней. Закоптите мясо.


We’ll use the same range of numbers (2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 9, 16, and 19) again, entered in cells from A1 through A10. Excel has different mode functions available, depending on which version of Excel you have.  For Excel 2007 and earlier, there is a single MODE function. This function will find a single mode in a sample range of numbers. For Excel 2010 and later, you can use either the MODE function, which works the same as in earlier versions of Excel, or the MODE.SNGL function, which uses a supposedly more accurate algorithm to find the mode. (Another mode function, MODE.MULT returns multiple values if it finds multiple modes in a sample, but it is intended for use with arrays of numbers instead of a single list of values.) As with the AVERAGE and MEDIAN functions, there are three ways to do this:  Click on an empty cell, such as A14 then type “=MODE(A1:10)” (again, without the quotation marks) directly in the cell. (If you wish to use the MODE.SNGL function, type “MODE.SNGL” in place of “MODE” in the equation.) Click on an empty cell, then click on the “fx” symbol in the function bar above the worksheet. Select “MODE” or “MODE.SNGL,” from the “Select a function:” list in the Insert Function dialog and click OK. Enter the range “A1:A10” in the Number 1 field of the Function Arguments dialog and click OK. Enter an equals sign (=) in the function bar to the right of the function symbol. Select the MODE or MODE.SNGL function from the Name box dropdown list to the left of the function symbol. Enter the range “A1:A10” in the Number 1 field of the Function Arguments dialog and click OK. The mode is the value that occurs most often in the sample range. In the case of our sample range, the mode is 7, as 7 occurs three times in the list. If two numbers appear in the list the same number of times, the MODE or MODE.SNGL function will report the value that it encounters first. If you change the “3” in the sample list to a “5,” the mode will change from 7 to 5, because the 5 is encountered first. If, however, you change...

TL;DR in Russian:

Введите числа, моду которых вы хотите найти. В разных версиях Excel функция нахождения моды различна. Вы можете ввести формулу одним из трех способов: В ячейке, в которую вы вели формулу, отобразится значение моды, равное числу, которое встречается в некотором множестве чисел наиболее часто.


We’ll use the same range of ten numbers (2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 9, 16, and 19) as we used in the method for finding the mean value. Enter them in the cells from A1 to A10, if you haven’t already done so. You do this by using the MEDIAN function. As with the AVERAGE function, you can enter it one of three ways:  Click on an empty cell, such as A13, then type “=MEDIAN(A1:10)” (again, without the quotation marks) directly in the cell. Click on an empty cell, then click on the “fx” symbol in the function bar above the worksheet. Select “MEDIAN” from the “Select a function:” list in the Insert Function dialog and click OK. Enter the range “A1:A10” in the Number 1 field of the Function Arguments dialog and click OK. Enter an equals sign (=) in the function bar to the right of the function symbol. Select the MEDIAN function from the Name box dropdown list to the left of the function symbol. Enter the range “A1:A10” in the Number 1 field of the Function Arguments dialog and click OK. The median is the point where half the numbers in the sample have values higher than the median value and the other half have values lower than the median value. (In the case of our sample range, the median value is 7.) The median may be the same as one of the values in the sample range, or it may not.

TL;DR in Russian:

Введите числа, медиану которых вы хотите найти. Найти среднее арифметическое можно при помощи функции МЕДИАНА. В ячейке, в которую вы вели формулу, отобразится значение медианы, при котором половина чисел в некотором множестве чисел имеет более высокие значения, чем медиана, а другая половина имеет более низкие значения, чем медиана (в нашем примере медиана равна 7).


We’re now getting into more sophisticated listening equipment. You can either make a listening stethoscope on your own or buy one. Premade models will save you time but can cost several hundred dollars. Unlike a premade model, however, making your own stethoscope will probably cost around or under $25, provided that you already have a fairly good MP3 player.  You can typically find a stethoscope at your local drugstore for about $10. The quality of the stethoscope is unlikely to make much of a difference.  You will also need microphones. Stereo multimedia microphones are preferable, as they are cheap (around $15) but have fairly good sound specifications. That is, you should be able to pick up sound with them pretty easily and with fair quality.  Finally, you will need to have an MP3 player to record sound as well as a 3.5mm (mini) Stereo Y-adapter cable. The cable will be quite cheap, about $3 or $4 dollars. The MP3 player will be the most expensive item if you do not already own one. Keep in mind that it must be able to record, which probably means that you will need a newer model (many older ones do not record but only play music). You will need to cut down the middle of the microphones in order to get to the wiring, remove the tops or headers, and release the microphones. You will then insert the exposed microphones into the stethoscope earpieces. A good tool for doing this is an X-Acto knife. It will make a clean cut through the outer parts of the microphone and let you get to the innards. You should be left with 2 mics and 3.5 mm connectors (the cabling). Remove the earpieces from the stethoscope. This is fairly easy and they should just pop right off. Don't get rid of them, however, as you'll need to attach them to the microphones.  Next, gently drill shallow holes into each of the plastic earpieces to a diameter that matches that of the microphone housings. The size of these holes needs to be exact, as the microphones must fit squarely inside of them. A power drill or grinder can give you the desired...

What about that towel you use every time you bathe? How many times does it get used before it begins to stink? It accumulates the dead cells and oils that were left over after a poor cleaning. Dealing with this takes a good scrubbing with a course sponge, washcloth, brush, or similar item. The key is to get as much of the loose and dying and dead skin cells along with the oils off before you use the towel.  To keep your body as clean as possible, it's important to wash your towel regularly and store it properly so it dries appropriately. If you do a poor job of cleaning you'll need to wash your towel after 2-3 uses.See Tip #3 below.  Never just let a wet towel lay on the floor of the bathroom, or it will get mildewy and dirty quickly. It's important to hang it up properly and allow it to dry completely. Organic rock salt deodorant kills the bacteria that causes odor, and also helps cleanse your lymph nodes. When you first start using a mineral deodorant, you might have strong odor for 1 or 2 weeks, but don't give up, because this means it is detoxing all the bacteria that has built up from using regular deodorant. To keep the odor under control while your body flushes the toxins, get some therapeutic-grade essential oils (Young Living or Doterra), such as lavender, rose, lemon, or purification blend, among many others to put directly on your armpits to reduce odor. . After every bath or shower, you may want to apply moisturizer to your skin to help keep it healthy. Even if you have oily skin, moisturizer needs to be used regularly to help to keep your skin hydrated. Commercial moisturizers usually contain some combination of natural lipids and other compounds that your body generates naturally. Look for water-based moisturizers. Identify problem areas, like the heels of your feet, your elbows, and your knees, and apply moisturizer to those areas every night before bed. This can help to soften skin and improve its overall health. . Facial treatments like packs or masks can be used regularly throughout the week...

Поддерживайте свое тело чистым не только снаружи, но и внутри.


What about this girl attracts you? Why do you feel the way you do? What are your feelings for this girl -- romantic, friendly, confused? Take some time to think about what you want out of your relationship so you can have a clearer idea of what to so. It can help to write down your feelings, potentially as a letter to her. You don't have to send it, but writing down your feelings can help you get a handle on them. Find out some things you have in common, and things you don't. Things you agree about, and things you don't. You and her could end up liking the same thing, and not even have had the slightest clue because she's been hiding it so well. If you don't talk often, try and get her to initiate conversation. Hang out with her and her friends, sit next to her at class, and put yourself in a place to chat. Think about your feelings and find a way to say them. You might write down a few lines, get together a quick "practice line," or rehearse the conversation in the mirror.  "I think you're great, and would love a chance to get to know you more." "I really enjoy our friendship, and I was hoping we could go on a date or two to see where things go." "Let's go out on a date sometime." Preparation aside, you have to be ready to improvise when the actual conversation starts. This can be difficult if you are naturally shy, so don't try and overdo it. Say what you want to say quickly, then let her talk from there. Your response doesn't have to be planned, and it will come off more naturally if it is not.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выделите время, чтобы подумать о своих чувствах. Выделите время, чтобы узнать девушку лучше. Продумайте, что вы хотите сказать девушке, которая вам нравится. Не ограничивайтесь заученными фразами.


What are the most important things on your list? In general, you might decide that work/school tasks will outweigh social and house-hold chores, though certain outliers may exist. You've got to eat and bathe, for example, though laundry might be able to wait another day while you finish an important work project.  Decide on a few different levels, maybe three, to rank the different tasks and criteria on your list. High, medium, and low importance tasks might be the best and simplest way to start ranking the importance of things on your list. Be judicious in deciding. You can also use colors to rank the items on your list. For example, you could use red to identify important or high priority items on your list, orange for items of medium importance, and yellow for items that are not pressing at all. Consider upcoming deadlines and your ability to work within those deadlines. What needs to be done the soonest? What needs to be done by the end of the day? What might you be able to buy a bit more time on? It's important to consider the length of time it takes you to accomplish each of the tasks, maybe even assigning a set time to certain things. If you consider it a priority to exercise every day, but you've got a crazy amount of work to do, give yourself an exercise cap of 30 minutes and find somewhere to fit it in. It might be critical that you get something to post-office by the end of the day, but this isn't a terrifically difficult task. Rank everything on your list in terms of its difficulty so you'll know how to situate it in relation to other tasks. It might be effective to use levels like Difficult, Moderate, and Easy to rank them, rather than trying to judge them in relation to one another. Don't worry about putting them in order before you've given each item its own rating, if it's helpful to do so. Put at the top of the list the most important and urgent tasks that will require the least amount of effort to try to maximize your work in the time you've allotted for it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Расставьте задачи по степени важности. Определите срочность каждой задачи. Классифицируйте каждую задачу по степени сложности. Сравните все задачи и упорядочьте список.


What are the things you like? The things you don't like? What are the things you are proud of? You might have great taste in music, but if no one knows about it, you really aren't likely to meet someone who likes the same music as you (unless they have talked to you, of course). Ever felt like there is no one in school/college who is like you? It's just because you don't know where they are. Referring to the music example, a way you could express your taste in music is by getting pins or shirts of your favorite bands. You can put the pins on your bag and wear the shirts once in a while. You will be expressing yourself to anyone who happens to look at you, without actually saying anything. Decorate your notebooks with pictures, quotes, anything that exposes the way you think. It's more worthwhile to do this on notebooks than lockers. Only you and a few people see the inside of your locker. Utilize anything that is likely to be seen. Not loud, not talkative, not overly friendly. But make sure that everyone in school has at least heard your voice once. Whether it was when you asked a question in class or said "sorry, Excuse me" when you bumped into someone, make sure you use your voice. Don't talk when you're not comfortable, but if you think you can add something to the conversation, just open up and say it. Another thing you want to do, is talk more when people usually talk less, and talk less when people usually talk more. For example, if you crash into someone else, most people would just say "Sorry" or "Excuse me" and continue moving. You ought to extend that. Say something like "Oh, I'm so sorry, are you alright?". When people are asked something like "Do you have any plans over the weekend?", the average person will launch into a long detailed explanation of what they are doing and why and invite anyone else to come along. With something like that be brief. The purpose of this is to make your reactions out of the ordinary. They are more likely to remember you if you stand out, even if it's something as...

What are three things you can do right now that will make your room seem less cluttered and feel better to be in? Do you want to take on your closet? Is there a giant pile of dirty and clean clothes in the corner? Are all your video games littering the floor? These three things will seem to make the most progress and will keep you motivated to finish the entire room. It's good to keep the amount of time you have in mind, too. If you only have half an hour, spend ten minutes on each task. If you have all day, you can get to deep cleaning. With time constraints, it's best to tackle each little bit so you feel as if you made a lot of little efforts toward progress. Clean clothes should be hanging in a closet or a wardrobe, or folded on shelves – don't just throw them on your bed! There are several factors as to how to organize your clothes, and here are a few thoughts:  The clothes you wear the most should be the easiest to access. This way you don't rip through all of your clothes every day trying to find that piece you want to wear. Consider organizing your clothes by color or season, too. They'll be easier to find this way and you'll know right where to go. We'll talk more about storage in a bit, but when it comes to your closet or wardrobe, try to utilize all the space. Put shelves above or below your closet rod, buy some boxes, and stack, stack, stack. You probably have a handful of items each day that you take from their proper places, and as the days tick by, this can turn into quite the mess. Take a moment to grab everything you use regularly and organize it on a space on your table or on a shelf that is easily accessible and that is now space for these specific items. Next time you need it, you'll grab it and be able to put it right back where you found it.  Figure out how you want to organize your books. If you read on a regular basis, and even if you don't, you need to keep it organized. You may organize by priority, category, then finally in alphabetical order. It's good to develop a system, a...

What are you passionate about? What makes you itch to create? It might be a particular fabric, a work of visual art you saw, something you want but can’t seem to find in stores, a garment you saw on the street, a particular color pattern, a retro trend you want to bring back, or any number of other things. There is no right way to get inspired. The important thing is to find something that excites you.  Consider your customer. What kind of person do you imagine buying your designs? What does that kind of person need in a garment? Be practical when designing clothes for yourself, design things you'll love owning or wearing. Combining existing styles and trends can be an interesting way to generate new looks. What would it be like to blend military elements with softer, more flowy ones? What would 1990s meets 1930s look like? How can you incorporate menswear elements into womenswear? Do you want a stretchy material, or something with less give? Is your design flowy, or rigid and architectural? Should the fabric be smooth, or textural? If your original inspiration was an amazing fabric you found, you already have this covered. Otherwise, think about what kind of material your design demands. Consider embellishments such as buttons, lace, beads or embroidery floss as well. These can often impact your fabric choice. A lot of the impact of your design hinges on your use of color and pattern. Think about the garment's intended purpose and how you imagine someone wearing it. Consider your customer, and what she might want to wear. Most of all, go with what you think looks good. There are no hard and fast rules here. You are the designer, and you should be true to yourself above all things.  Look at a color wheel. Remember, contrasting colors (the ones across the color wheel from each other) make each other stand out. This can add a dramatic affect to your design, but if not handled well it can also be jarring and off-putting.  Get some paint swatches from a paint store, and use them to experiment with different color...

What are you trying to do with this game? What story are you trying to tell? What do you want your players to feel at the end? What kind of experience do you want it to be? What do you want to get out of the project? These are some important questions you'll need to ask yourself before you begin the process, because the answers will provide the light at the end of the tunnel for this process. You need to know where you're going if you want to get there efficiently. Different audiences are more likely to play in different ways. They are also more likely to prefer different types of games and have different standards for content. Remember, it's fine to want to make a game for a very specific audience, but it will limit the profits that you make. Be realistic. Before you get very far into the process, you need to consider what kind of devices you want your game to be on. Mobile platforms are quickly becoming a major player but PC and consoles are still (and will likely remain) strong. The programming involved, and especially the interface and controls, will change drastically with your platform, so it's important to understand what you're going to be putting the game on While genres are not completely important, the genre of your game will determine some parts of how it's designed. Is it an FPS? A platformer? An RPG? A social game? There are very few aspects of design that are not influenced by the genre. Of course, you can say "forget genres" and just make whatever you want, but this is more difficult to market and you will be forced to be more creative and original: not the easiest way to break into the design world.  One of the things that you'll have to think about when designing based on genre is how you want the UI to look. Different types of games will have the UI more or less visible, depending usually upon the complexity of controls. Another consideration is that while some genres lack it almost entirely, other game genres have become synonymous with dialogue. Will your dialogue need to be recorded?...

What are your most important qualities? Understanding the unique gifts you have to offer the world can help you figure out what direction your life should take. Take a few hours to think deeply about what makes you special.  Spending time in a place where you can be yourself is a good way to identify what makes you, you. Try going to your favorite place in nature, or spending time near people who get you. When you can really be yourself, what qualities emerge? It may also help to ask people you trust what good qualities they see in you. Sometimes it's difficult to see our own strengths clearly. Spend time thinking about your priorities divorced from what you know your current obligations are. Take note of the happiest moments in your life, and prioritize the parts of your life that deliver these moments to you. Remember, you don’t need to think about what’s feasible and what isn’t, just what truly makes you tick. This will help you see what you cherish rather than the strategies you’ll use to get them. Keep the list short and sweet—no longer than five things. Ask yourself the following questions in order to connect with your priorities:  How would you like to live your life? Would you like to be healthy and vital? Would you like to have deeper connections with people in your life? What will make you proud to be able to say about yourself in ten years time? When you have a completely average day, what does it entail? By laying out a daily schedule, not of what you want for yourself, but of what you actually do you can see your current strategies for meeting your priorities. Now that you have this schedule, see if your priorities are reflected in your daily activity or not. Can you draw links between what you cherish and what you know must be taken care of each day? For example, if you already eat a nourishing breakfast in the morning, you can connect this up with a stated priority of maintaining a healthy body and mind. If you cannot see the connection between how you spend your time and what your deeper...

TL;DR in Russian:

Визуализируйте лучшую версию себя. Составьте список своих приоритетов. Составьте ежедневное расписание. Отделите неотложное от ценного. Составьте список своих обязательств. Подумайте о своих отношениях.


What attracts you to a vegetarian diet? Health benefits? Compassion for animals? Religious or spiritual beliefs? The first step in making a drastic lifestyle change is to understand your reasons for wanting change, which will help keep you motivated during the transition. Different types of vegetarians follow varying degrees of food restrictions. Selecting a type that suits your motives and is practical will make changing and maintaining your new diet easier. The different types of vegetarians include:   Vegan - Avoids all animal products, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and gelatin. Many also do not eat honey. Some may avoid consumer animal products, such as fur, leather, silk, or certain cosmetics.  Lacto Vegetarian - Eats dairy products, but avoids meat, poultry, fish, and eggs.  Ovo Vegetarian - Eats eggs, but avoids meat, poultry, fish, and dairy.  Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian - Eats dairy and eggs, but avoid meat, poultry, and fish. This category is the most common type of vegetarian in the United States.  Pesco Vegetarian (Pescetarian) - Eats fish, dairy, and eggs, but avoids meat and poultry.  Flexitarian – Follows an lacto-ovo vegetarian diet and does not eat meat at most meals, but will occasionally eat meat, poultry, or fish. Discuss your intentions and motivations with your friends and family and ask for their support. A strong support system will make the process of changing your lifestyle habits less difficult and can help you fight the temptation to lapse. Engaging with a vegetarian community by participating in online forums and reading magazines or blogs can help you find advice, tips, and helpful resources.

What better way is there to learn about birding, than from other birders? Look at audubon.org or check with your local nature conservatory to find bird watching groups you can join. Also consider informal groups, like those you'd find through Meetup. The more sets of eyes and ears there are, the more birds you'll find, especially if you go with bird watchers who are more experienced than you are. Going out into the field means you’re going into a lot of the same areas you’d be in if you were hiking. Stick with the same type of breathable, loose clothes and sturdy boots you’d wear for long treks through forests or fields.  Wear waterproof boots, so you’ll be prepared if you encounter puddles or mud. Wear dark, neutral colors, like brown and gray, so you don’t frighten birds away. Bright or white colors enhance movement around them. Loud talking or laughing can cause birds to flee before you even get close.  Put your phone on silent, and speak softly or use hand signals and gestures to communicate with a group. Don’t be tempted to yell “Look over here!,” no matter how excited you get by spotting a rare bird.  A whisper can often communicate the same thing. Avoid flash and camera noises. Depending on where you’re located and what birds you’re trying to spot, the time of day you venture out can greatly impact successful birding. A lot of birds wake in the early morning hours when the sun first rises because they’ve been nesting all night and want breakfast. Others are not as dependent on the sun, especially if it’s summertime and the days are longer.  Songbirds are normally spotted two hours after sunrise and right before sunset. Hawks and eagles are best seen when the sun first rises. Spot ducks any time of day. Shorebirds are out when ocean tides change. If you don’t want to join a birding group or take long walks through potentially thorny forests, you can enjoy bird watching from your own backyard. Use bird feeders filled with food for species you’d like to see. Sit by a window and enjoy the scenery.  Start...

What better way to celebrate the quintessential Irish holiday than a trip to the land of Saints and Scholars! Dublin, the capital city, usually holds a five day festival in honor of the holiday and is the location of Ireland's largest and most impressive St. Patrick's Day parade. The city buzzes with life over the course of the festival - thousands of tourists flood the city and the pubs are overflowing with travelers and locals alike, eager to "drown the shamrock". So if you're looking to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in true Irish fashion, this is the place to be!  Alternatively, you can take a trip down the country to escape from the tourist-ridden streets of Dublin and experience a somewhat quieter, but more authentic version of the holiday. Most towns will have some semblance of a parade - the quality varying from decent to poor - but the real reason to go is for the vibrant pub-scene, where you can enjoy high-quality traditional and contemporary Irish music surrounded by an authentic Irish crowd! As mentioned above, thousands of tourists flock to Ireland every March so it's advisable to book flights and accommodation well in advance, to avoid soaring prices and possible disappointment. Beer and spirits are not the only great consumable goods to come out of Ireland. Corned beef, cabbage and lamb stew accompanied by traditional Irish soda bread are tasty ways to "keep it real." Potatoes are about as Irish as you can get and are one of the staples of the Irish diet.  Traditional Irish foods include bangers and mash, colcannon, bacon (boiled ham) and cabbage, stew, boxty, Shepherd's Pie, potato bread and black pudding. In Ireland, the day is usually celebrated by eating food such as pink bacon or savory roast chicken. Note that corned beef and cabbage is more of an Irish-American tradition than an authentically Irish one. Ireland has a long history with music, and many incredible styles have emerged. Celtic, folk and traditional Irish pub songs might just get you in the St. Patrick's Day spirit! You can play...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поезжайте в Ирландию. Попробуйте традиционную ирландскую кухню. Слушайте ирландскую музыку. Участвуйте в местных парадах. Узнайте, что происходит в барах. Устройте вечеринку дома.


What cheap, widely-available item can make someone's eyes teary and red in a matter of minutes? It's not a Hallmark card — it's an ordinary onion! Onions produce syn-propanethial-S-oxide, a chemical irritant that causes the eyes to produce tears and turn red.Peeling or chopping and onion normally will usually cause your eyes to water, but you may need prolonged exposure to make your eyes water enough to turn red. Try keeping the center portion or a section of the peel and running it beneath your eyes a few times when your eyes need to appear red.  Try to avoid using so-called "sweet" onions (like, for instance, Vidalia onions), as these generally don't produce as much irritation and tearing. For best results, use a strong-flavored white or yellow onion.  For a gentler approach, place a few pieces of the onion into a tissue or handkerchief and rub the handkerchief beneath your eyes. The barrier will protect your eye itself from coming into direct contact with the onions, but the irritant should still have an effect as long as the material in the tissue is not too thick. If you're trying to fake the appearance of crying, for an added effect, try rubbing a little inside the bottom of your nostrils to encourage a runny nose. Be careful to avoid getting any of the vapor rub directly into the eye, as this can be quite uncomfortable. One method that's virtually identical to the menthol method above involves products that contain peppermint oil. Simply use the exact same steps — rubbing a small dab below each eye — to produce a very similar effect as the fumes from the oil irritate the eyes. As above, avoid getting the oil into your eyes, as this can cause stinging and prolonged discomfort. Peppermint oil can be found at most high-end grocers, specialty food retailers, and health food stores. However, if you don't already have any, it may be more cost-effective to use menthol or an onion, as peppermint oil is usually more expensive by volume. If you need red eyes right away, don't worry — you can get them without any...

TL;DR in Russian:

What did each of you do to contribute to the breakup? Most relationship troubles do not crop up unexpectedly, but build up over time. The odds are good that it wasn't a one-sided problem and that there were signs that it was coming. Take some time and do some soul searching before you attempt to get your ex back. You want to make sure you are not wasting your time or energy on something futile. According to research, the number one cause of the breakup of romantic relationships is failure to communicate. If your relationship was otherwise happy, this problem can often be fixed by setting clear expectations and openly discussing frustrations before things explode in a big fight. Other issues can be harder to overcome, like infidelity or jealousy; but with work and counseling, even these types of issues are possible to work through. Was it you? If so, did you do it after careful thought or in a fit of anger that you now regret? Was it your ex, and did he or she have specific reasons? Was it a mutual decision? It is vital that you understand who controlled the breakup and why it happened in the first place. If it was you, and your ex was against breaking up, getting back together might be easier than if it was initiated by your ex in the first place. In the pain and confusion of a breakup, it can be easy to confuse your emotions, interpreting feelings of loneliness and hurt as evidence that you need your ex back in your life. In fact, almost everyone who experiences a breakup initially feels remorse for the lost relationship, coupled with feelings of anxiety, guilt, depression, and loneliness. Generally, the more serious the relationship was, the more severe these feelings tend to be; couples who are married or cohabiting tend to have the worst breakups, whereas those who were casually dating tend to have an easier time in the aftermath of a breakup. But the severity of your  feelings does not automatically mean that you should get back together with your ex.  Try answering these questions: Do you miss your ex,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите причину расставания. Подумайте о том, кто был инициатором разрыва отношений. Поразмышляйте над своими эмоциями.


What do you enjoy doing? Most people enjoy working on projects where they feel skilled in. What's yours?  If you are skilled in crafting, sewing or cooking you may decide to make and sell home décor, accessories,  jewelry or edible items. If you have an eye for bargains you may be interested in buying and re-selling antiques or other items. If you enjoy working with a network of business owners and socially interacting with your customers, you may consider becoming a consultant for an existing home-based direct sales company. To have the most possible success as a home entrepreneur, you want to make sure you're not just selling any old product. You want to make sure you're selling awesome products — products that are convenient, portable, and cheap to manufacture:  What makes a home product really good:  Convenience. Your product makes life easier for your customers Portability. It ships easily. That also usually means it's easier to manufacture. Cost. It doesn't take an arm and a leg to manufacture. Try to get your margins at or above 50%.    What makes a home product not so good:  Overly mechanical and liability-prone. If your product demands super high quality standards or puts you at a liability, stay away. No mechanical drills. Imported by big retailers. If the product you're trying to sell at home already is being sold at Walmart, don't expect much. Trademarks. Unless you want to spend all your profit fighting legal battles with huge corporations, stay away from items that are protected under trademark. Okay, so you've decided to sell miniature craft accessories — miniature chairs for doll collectors, perhaps. The next question you should consider is how good of a business proposition is this? You may be the best miniature craftsman (or -woman) that money can buy, but it won't mean very much if no one buys miniatures for dolls, or if the market for doll miniatures is already really competitive and margins are razor thin.  The size of the market is effectively how much money people are spending today on...

What does your fantasy world look like? If you want your story to feel realistic, you need to create a clear vision of your world for your readers. Describe the sky, buildings, ground, and flora and fauna to help your readers imagine the world for themselves.  The setting of your story can be as broad or narrow as you like. For example, your story could be set in a town, city, planet, or universe. If your story is set in an actual place, explain this to your readers. For example, the Harry Potter series starts in modern England and transitions to a hidden world. Middle Earth in The Lord of the Rings is a good example of a foreign universe being explained. Incorporate all the senses into your description. What does it smell like, feel like, and look like? Many famous authors included maps of their fantasy worlds in their work, such as JRR Tolkien’s map of Middle Earth, to help you imagine the setting. This is particularly useful if your fantasy world has multiple different locations in it or if your story includes a journey from 1 place to another. Draw a map on a piece of paper and include the major landmarks, cities, rivers, oceans, etc.  Draw a series of trees to represent the looming, mysterious forest in your world. Draw a star to represent the capital of each city. Draw ripples of water to indicate rivers, streams, and oceans. Even if you don’t include the map in the final copy of your story, it can help you to imagine the setting. This gives you great scope to use your imagination. Make note of details such as the political system, the currency used, common cultural practices, and the history of the place. This helps to give your world depth and makes it seem more realistic. If you are creating your story in an actual place, describe any aspects of the place or culture that deviate from real life. Ground your fantasy world in a certain moment in time. If your fantasy worlds take place in the future, invent technological advances to make it seem futuristic. If you're writing something set in a more...

TL;DR in Russian:

What drove you to betray your partner? You are responsible for your actions, but understanding the emotion underlying your behavior may trigger your partner's empathy and will help you avoid similar situations in the future. Describe how you felt and then describe your behavior. For example, "I felt insecure in our relationship and sought attention from others."  Use "I" statements to avoid inadvertently making your partner feel like you are blaming them. It is key to help your partner see how you will avoid hurting them in the future. Identify what led to the behavior and ways you could have avoided the situation. For instance, if your behavior was influenced by a certain person, commit to avoiding being alone with them. This may involve making sure you have your partner or another friend accompany you to events the person is likely to attend, and leaving if you find yourself alone with the person.  Communicating and resolving your issues with your partner should always be included in the plan. Express genuine regret and remorse for betraying your partner. Your partner is more likely to trust you if they believe you will act to avoid future unpleasant emotions as a result of your behavior. Avoid making promises you can't or don't intend to keep. Failure to follow through on promises may make earlier apologies seem insincere.

TL;DR in Russian:

Объясните мотивацию своего поступка. Примите решение вести себя по-другому в будущем. Будьте искренни.


What exactly is your friend doing that is getting on your nerves? Is your friend too clingy? Does your friend gossip or say mean things to you? Is your friend constantly making fun of you? Are you just annoyed by your friend for no reason?  The source of the annoyance will help you figure out what you need to do. If your friend is too clingy, you need to create space between the two of you. If your friend is being mean and hurtful towards you, you should let them know how you feel. If you cannot identify why you are so annoyed with your friend, you might need to do some self-evaluation. Have you changed or outgrown your friend? Instead of spending time alone with your friend, only see them when other people are around. This can create a buffer between the two of you. You will not have to talk to your friend as much. If your friend starts being annoying, you will still have other people you can talk to.  Make sure that other people are around when you hang out with your annoying friend. For example, make plans with some other friends and then invite the annoying friend to come along or eat lunch with a group of people instead of just you and your friend. If your friend invites you to go somewhere and you know it will only be the two of you, decline the offer or ask if you can bring someone else along. If you want to maintain the friendship, you can create some space between the two of you. This will give you a break from the person and send a signal to the person to change their behavior.  If the person calls and/or texts too much, do not respond to them every single time. Only answer when you feel like it or really want to talk to them.  If you have to call them back, call them when you are about to do something else. This way you can keep the conversation short. For example, you could call and say, "Hey, I saw your missed call. I'm about to eat dinner with my family, what's up?" Your friend may be engaging in certain behaviors because they enjoy the response and attention you give. Your friend may say...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, что конкретно раздражает вас в поведении друга. Проводите время в компании. Попробуйте реже общаться. Игнорируйте человека, когда он раздражает вас. Побуждайте друга развивать свои интересы.


What function will it serve? Think about the features you’d enjoy most as you begin constructing plans. The most common backyard ponds fall into one of the following categories.  A wildlife pond is perhaps the easiest type of pond to construct. It doesn’t require a pump, so it needn’t be close to a source of electricity. A wildlife pond is built to look like a natural part of the landscape. Because it isn’t stocked with fish, it is attractive to frogs, slugs, water sliders, and other animals that may come to it to have a drink or bathe away. A garden pond is more ornamental in appearance. Garden ponds typically have lily pads and other aquatic plants, and are built to complement the design of one’s garden. Artfully arranged stones, small pump-based waterfalls, and a smattering of goldfish are often features of garden ponds. Most ponds do best in spots that get mixed sun and shade, since this environment allows plants to grow and keeps algae at bay. You may want to locate the pond in a place you can see from your home, so you can enjoy it even in cold or rainy weather.  If you’re constructing your pond in the backyard, the first thing to do is call your gas and electric company and ask them to come to your house and mark the locations of your gas and electric lines, so you’ll know not to dig in those spots. If you have a larger property, other considerations may be involved. Call the Department of Agriculture to find out if there are places on your property that are protected watersheds, and ask if there are any other local regulations you should know about before you begin digging. Don’t choose a spot too close to trees, as you may damage their root systems. If you live in a wet region, such as in the eastern region of the United States, your pond can be just a few feet wide and deep. If you’re in a dryer regions, like the southwest region of the US, a shallow pond will evaporate quickly. Conduct research to find out what depth makes sense for your region.  Larger ponds are easier to to maintain. They’re more...

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, какой вид пруда вы хотите иметь. Выберите место для вашего пруда. Решите, какой размер и какая глубина будет у вашего пруда.


What happens if you break up?  If you have divulged private information to them, particularly that is work related, consider how this might be used against you in the future.  Though your partner may be loving and amazing, know that breakups can bring out the worst in people and could potentially threaten your job. Don’t tell them anything that could damage your career. When you two are together away from work, as much as possible, avoid talk about business.  Work to keep your professional and romantic lives as separate as possible.  This will prevent your life from being solely about work and will help you have a better time with your partner. Since your professional and romantic life is now so heavily intertwined, it will be important to maintain those friendships and hobbies that are completely separate from both.  Keep up with your friends and spend time with them regularly.  Enjoy your own hobbies apart from the relationship. Continue to read, dance, ride horses or do whatever else you enjoy, as well.

TL;DR in Russian:

Учитывайте наихудший сценарий развития событий. Не говорите о работе на свиданиях. Не забывайте о друзьях и увлечениях.


What if, rather than finding the distance that a moving object has traveled, you need to find the distance between two stationary objects? In cases like this, the speed-based distance formula described above won't be of any use. Luckily, a separate distance formula can be used to easily find the straight-line distance between two points. However, to use this formula, you'll need to know the coordinates of your two points. If you're dealing with one-dimensional distance (such as on a number line), your coordinates will be two numbers, x1 and x2. If you're dealing with distance in two dimensions, you'll need values for two (x,y) points,  (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Finally, for three dimensions, you'll need values for (x1,y1,z1) and (x2,y2,z2). Calculating one-dimensional distance between two points when you know the value for each is a cinch. Simply use the formula d = |x2 - x1|. In this formula, you subtract x1 from x2, then take the absolute value of your answer to find the distance between x1 and x2. Typically, you'll want to use the one-dimensional distance formula when your two points lie on a number line or axis.  Note that this formula uses absolute values (the "| |" symbols). Absolute values simply mean that the terms contained within the symbols become positive if they are negative. For example, let's say that we're stopped by the side of the road on a perfectly straight stretch of highway. If there is a small town 5 miles ahead of us and a town 1 mile behind us, how far apart are the two towns? If we set town 1 as x1 = 5 and town 2 as x1 = -1, we can find d, the distance between the two towns, as follows:  d = |x2 - x1| = |-1 - 5| = |-6| = 6 miles. Finding distance between two points in two-dimensional space is more complicated than in one dimension, but is not difficult. Simply use the formula d = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2). In this formula, you subtract the two x coordinates, square the result, subtract the y coordinates, square the result, then add the two intermediate results together and take the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите две точки пространственных координат. Вычислите расстояние в одномерном пространстве (точки лежат на одной горизонтальной прямой) по формуле: Вычислите расстояние в двумерном пространстве по формуле: Вычислите расстояние в трехмерном пространстве по формуле:


What is chemistry? It is the term used to indicate that there is a spark, or attraction, between two people. Chemistry is important because it is what makes romantic relationships different from friendships. If you are interested in a girl, you'll want to build some chemistry so that you can move towards getting that first kiss. Don't worry if you don't immediately have chemistry. Some couples can build it over time. But if it hasn't developed after several dates, you might want to try moving things forward. You can do this by demonstrating more affection, or having a frank talk about how you feel the relationship is going. Females actually respond chemically to men and how they behave. Girls will have a positive physical reaction when your behavior shows that you are good at bonding with other people. For example, let her see you interacting with your friends. At a party, laugh and tell jokes with your buds. Just make sure to do this naturally--don't look fake. You can also demonstrate bonding with your romantic interest. Try doing something nice, but simple, for her. When she enters the party, for instance, offer to grab her a drink. Doing something exhilarating causes your face to flush and your heart rate to spike--the same reactions a person has when feeling physically aroused. Take your girl on a date and do something that will get the adrenaline flowing. One idea is to see a scary movie. She will probably naturally lean in to you, or grab your hand during especially creepy scenes. This type of touching will open the door for a kiss later. You could also do something adventurous. If there is an amusement park nearby, take her out to ride a roller coaster. This will definitely get your hearts racing! Feeling pleasure increases the desire for affection. So try setting a cheerful tone on your date. Ask her about subjects that should be happy for her. For example, if she is planning to go on vacation sometime soon, ask her to tell you about her plans. Another idea is to ask her about her favorite restaurant...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите, насколько важно создать правильную атмосферу или химическое притяжение. Покажите девушке, что вас что-то связывает. Прибегните к хитростям. Поговорите о чем-то, что вам обоим нравится. Проведите время вместе.


What is good luck for you? Your dreams and desires are the roots of the concept of "luck". One person might feel most lucky in acing an exam, another person in getting his cancer into remission, while another person in scoring her first hole in one. Feeling lucky is to identify your deep desires, which is different from person to person.  Identifying and amplify your desires will give yourself a better chance of attaining your goals and getting what you want. Luck reflects faith in obtaining these goals.  If you feel unlucky, may be because you have not identified what it is you want to be doing, what you want out of life, and what you can do to attain it. The first step in getting somewhere is deciding where you want to go. For some people, it might be smarter to start with a five-year plan, while others might need to start smaller. What do you want today? What do you want to get out of Wednesday? Make this a daily exercise. Focus on things that will improve your lot in life on a deep emotional level, not just a superficial one. But you will maximize your luck if you work on not just the one-in-a-million chance, but also take advantage of the little opportunities to fulfill your desires.  For example, if you want to be financially secure, you may trust your luck in making it happen. Wanting to win the lottery is all well and good--someone has to win, after all! But do not invest heavily in lottery tickets; find opportunities to save money and invest as well! Feeling unlucky can happen because of a setback or delay or even failure in your goals. You get laid off, for instance. Or get into a car accident. Your strawberry crop fails. Recognize that life is not a constant string of successes. But focusing on positive steps (however tiny) will ensure you will see your opportunities and things to be grateful about rather than dwelling on things that happen that work against us. People who feel lucky put themselves in situations which face the possibility of failure. It takes courage and a positive attitude that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, чего вы хотите, и просите этого. Говорите "да", а не "нет". Воспринимайте сложные ситуации как возможности добиться успеха. Пользуйтесь удачей. Контролируйте все ситуации. Перестаньте думать и начните чувствовать. Трудитесь.


What is it that you are doing with your apologies? Trying to minimize yourself or come off differently? Maybe you are trying to avoid conflict or seek approval. Explore these questions thoroughly. Try free-writing your answers to see your knee jerk opinions about the issue. Also consider who you apologize to most often. Your significant other? Your boss? Examine these relationships and what your apologies are accomplishing with those specific people. When you apologize too often, you may end up with a stifled internal sense of your feelings. The apology may become about the end result of being seen differently by someone else and less about your your own feelings of the situation. Dig into your feelings when you are tempted to apologize and notice what you find.  Oftentimes apologies correspond to feelings of inadequacy which can be resolved through acceptance of oneself and a renewed look at your power and worth.  When working on adjusting longstanding habits tied to self-esteem, the assistance of a therapist or other mental health professional can be useful. As we know, everyone makes mistakes. This means you don't need to apologize for having a stain on your shirt or needing three tries to get your parallel parking just right. These mistakes may be silly or embarrassing, but knowing that everyone is fallible will help you realize that making mistakes is not a big deal, and we don't need to be hyper-focused on our errors. This focus holds us back from growth and change. Recognize that your mistakes are what help you grow. If a mistake causes you inconvenience or even pain, there is always the opportunity to learn from the experience and grow from it. . Endless apologies and self-recrimination are an indication that you have become a guilty person rather than just feeling guilty for wrongdoings. Start working through your guilt by making efforts to be more compassionate toward yourself, adjusting unrealistic standards, and recognizing that which you cannot control.  For example, you may believe that you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Задавайте себе вопросы. Проанализируйте свои чувства. Признавайте свои ошибки. Избавьтесь от чувства вины. Поймите, каковы ваши ценности. Старайтесь развивать отношения. Цените свои возможности. Найдите другие способы получения подтверждения, что все в порядке.


What is it that's setting you off? Is it something truly annoying, like a brother repeating the same noise you've asked him twice to knock off, or is it harmless, like someone breathing loudly? If it's something harmless that annoys you, there's probably some underlying issue that you haven't resolved, either about the person, or about yourself. Stay friendly and polite instead of showing your annoyance. Avoid acting negatively or unfriendly and try making conversation with the person annoying you (if he/she is doing something harmless). If you're annoyed with someone and you don't know why, or you're frustrated by the fact that you're annoyed, try this trick. Formulate some advice you'd like to give to that person. Say the person has played a joke on a friend of yours at their expense, and you want to tell the prankster "be considerate of other people." Now, instead of giving that advice to the other person, turn it around and see if the advice is applicable to you. Yes, you! Is there a way you can be considerate of other people? Can you let the good-humored attempt slide? Can you consider how your friend may have thought the joke was funny? Sometimes, the advice that we're most eager to give to other people is just the advice that we ourselves should swallow. It's certainly possible that the reason we find something or someone annoying is that it reminds us of ourselves; we don't want to believe that that's who we truly are, so we distance ourselves from the person or thing by summoning annoyance and getting angry. Ask yourself: Is the reason you're annoyed because the other person is reflecting something that hits too close to home? Being annoyed can be a sign that you're too entrenched in your comfort zone. Try shaking things. Rearrange your bedroom furniture, read books by authors who challenge your fundamental beliefs, take a trip overseas. Changing something in your life that shifts you out of your comfort zone and into new territory can lower your annoyance and crank up your compassion. Anything that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выясните, что вас тревожит. Запомните, что раздражительные люди раздражают окружающих. Следуйте советам, которые вы даете другим людям. Причина раздражительности может заключаться лично в вас, а не в окружающих. Может, стоит немного встряхнуться?


What is motivating you to get into the practice of raising crops and/or animals and leaving the urban area where, usually, more money is to be made without having to work so hard for it? Any kind of farming involves a lot of hard work, it takes huge amount of responsibility, and is not the kind of venture that you will get rich quick on, if at all. Farming is a way of life, and also a business that gives you less of a financial "reward" for all the hard work you have to do throughout the year. But, the emotional and spiritual reward you get can be accounted for more than the paycheck you get at the end of the year. The industry is, for the most part, steeped in tradition. If you've never farmed in your life nor have any agricultural experience to bring to the table, and yet you still want to become a farmer, you may run into some individuals who are more skeptical of your future endeavor than you wish. But, do not let this bring you down, as there are many people who will embrace your goals and want to help out as much as possible. You will be surprised at how helpful a lot of farm people can be with the new farmers that want to learn as much as possible! Remember there is no such thing as a stupid question. However, don't be discouraged or lead yourself to feel slightly offended if someone is more blunt and forward with some of their advice and/or criticisms of what you intend to do and how to do it than you expected. Those farmers that have been in the business for decades have been-there and done-that, and will give you as much advice as you ask for, and even a few stories here and there. Be open to possibilities, listen well, and don't try to argue on something that they have known to work for them for the last umpteen years. Especially, talk to various farmers to get a better understanding of what to expect with what you are doing and the locale you intend to start a farm in. In most cases there are two main categories of agricultural production to choose from: Crops, seed or grain production (oilseeds,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Четко решите для себя, почему вас интересует фермерское дело. Выберите, каким из видов фермерского хозяйства вы хотите заниматься. Поговорите с опытными фермерами. Проделайте домашнюю работу. Посетите занятия, посвященные фермерскому хозяйству. Рассмотрите варианты возможного переезда.


What is the girl really upset about? Is it something completely devastating, like the loss of a grandparent, or something a little more manageable, like a fight with a friend? The problem can help you find out what she wants the most. If she's dealing with a real loss, then you don't want to try to make her laugh or distract her with a ridiculous story; but if she's just dealing with some friend drama, then you can take a more lighthearted approach. But don't talk much about that reason, or she will just get madder. It's better to leave her alone for a couple minutes, and when you think that she is ready to talk to someone, go for it.  If you know her, you can ask a simple question, such as "What's bothering you?". If you don't know her well, you should introduce yourself and let her know that you'd like to help her feel better.  Not all problems are created equal. The more you know about the situation, the better you can know how to respond. This is important. If she says, "I want to be left alone" and she really means it, then you should give her some time to herself and not make her feel worse by sticking around when she just wants alone time. But if she says that and wants you there, then it's harder to pick up on; if you know her well, you'll know if she really wants to cool off or if she's just saying that because she doesn't want to bother you.  Is she the kind of girl who is often upset or is this the first time you have seen her like this? If she's been upset before, think of how you reacted then and try to do the same thing if it worked out. Ask if she wants to talk. See if she wants to have a conversation about the problem or if she just wants you to be there to offer moral support. Okay, so most girls would like a hug or some affection when they are upset. This is true if you're dating the girl or if you're close to her and she doesn't feel like you're making a move. Some girls, however, may not want a hug right when they're upset, and that's okay too. If you're close to her, just putting your arm...

What is the objective of creating a model? Make a list of the data you want to find by using the model. It is crucial to ask this question before you create your model or you may end up creating a model that does not meet your objective.  Do you want to predict something? Find out how to regulate something? Or do something else?  For example, imagine you want to know how much room you have in a storage unit to see how many boxes you can put into it. You will be creating a model to predict the amount of space that is in your storage unit. What data do you already have? Make a list of the data that has been given. As you list the data, decide what pieces are most relevant and which pieces are not relevant.  You should also list any information that can be assumed based on what you already know. Keep in mind that you may have to take measurements to find the data that you need. To find out how much room you have in your storage unit, you will need to measure the unit's height, width, and length. Do you need to consider factors like gravity, volume, time, etc.? Make a note of any factors that will need to be considered when you create the model.  To determine the amount of space that you have in your storage unit, you will need to find the volume. You also need to keep in mind that there will be some wasted space, since some objects may be irregular and that will make it difficult to use every inch of the storage unit. What equations and formulas will you need in order to find your answer? How will you apply these equations and formulas? Make sure that you have a clear understanding of how to plug the data that you have into the equation. To find the volume of the storage unit, you will need to use the equation V= h x w x l There is no need to re-invent the wheel if somebody else has developed a model that may suit your purposes already. Check in your textbook or ask your teacher. Just remember to make sure that someone else’s model will work for your situation. To get an idea of how to find the volume using the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, что именно необходимо узнать. Определите, что вам известно. Определите физические принципы, которые лежат в основе создаваемой вами модели.

What is the primary topic of your magazine? Keep in mind that most magazines are niche publications that target a highly-specific audience (for instance, people who are interested in quilting or brides looking for wedding ideas).  Ask yourself: Will this be a standalone publication or one in a series? If it’s part of a series, what’s your larger theme? Try to draw the title of your magazine out of this overarching theme. Note that most magazines have one- or two-word titles (such as TIME, National Geographic, Seventeen, Rolling Stone, and Forbes). Not only can a short title sum up your theme nicely, it's also easier to deal with from a design standpoint. What’s the focus of this one publication? How can you use it to tie all your content together? (It’s not for nothing that a single publication of a magazine is called an “issue.”) A good example of themed issues are the prom editions of teen magazines, or the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated. All of the content inside that issue ties back to the primary focus.  What’s the title of this issue? If necessary, what’s the title of the entire series? Annual examples of titling an issue include the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated, the Hollywood Issue of Vanity Fair, and the September Issue of Vogue. The method you choose for putting your magazine together can determine how you gather and incorporate content. Here are some points to consider:  Though the glossy, software-enhanced look is a magazine standard, making one without the use of computers can give your magazine an art-house feel. However, this will require lots of extra time and talent and is best suited for people who have already done similar projects. InDesign is the standard (though expensive) designer tool for digitally-designed magazines. The type is often written out and edited in InCopy, which meshes with InDesign. Alternately, some publications use Quark. If these options aren’t in your price range, Office Publisher might be an effective alternative. When do you plan to have the magazine...

What is this group interested in? What do they like? Are are they like? If this group could be a kind of dessert, what would she be? Just find fun and light things to chat about to see what she, and the rest of the group, are interested in. Here are some good group questions, if you're not familiar with the group:  How do you all know each other? How often do you all hang out? What are you all drinking? Who has the best one? Conversation is about finding doors and opening them. Listen to what they're talking about and respond to the subject positively and kindly with something of your own. If the group is taking about a movie, ask what everyone thought. If someone says, "Boring," say, "Oh really? What movies do you like?" Keep the conversation flowing and positive, to show that you're an interesting person that this girl should want to talk to. The follow up is the most important part of a conversation. Nobody knows how to talk to a stranger without listening to what they say and responding. If one member of the group is giving her opinion about a particular topic, turn to the girl you want to talk to and say, "What do you think?" This is an excellent way of contributing to the break in the conversation and including her in it as well. It also signals to everyone that you're interested in talking to her specifically. If you know she's in a particular club, likes a certain band, or is particularity interested in something, focus your conversation by asking her about it. Ask how long she's been interested in that hobby, why she likes it, and let it lead to finding out more about her and seeing what you guys have in common. Conversation is give and take. If you only talk about her, she might feel like you're prying. So, after asking her about herself, think about something that has to do with what she says, and then respond. At the same time, don't only talk about yourself. Self-absorbmant is a pretty big turn-off. While you're talking to a group, try to keep things light and positive. Encourage others in their...

TL;DR in Russian:

Задавайте как можно больше вопросов. Слушайте и следите за ходом беседы. Переключите внимание с компании на определенную девушку. Найдите нечто общее между вами. Расскажите о себе. Оставайтесь на позитиве. Будьте самим собой. Забудьте о предрассудках.


What is your basic motivation? Are you bored? Disaffected? Do you need a bigger challenge? Is your job too demanding and you want a better work-life balance? Be sure that you are making an educated decision. Transferring departments is doable – for example, 1/3 of the British grocery chain Sainsbury’s 500 yearly recruits for retail management transfer to other operations -- but you should have a good reason. Try putting your thoughts on paper. Don’t over-think or over-rationalize. Write down why you feel the need to move, emotions and all. Now that you’ve stated your reasons, it is time to decide whether they are legitimate. Understand that some reasons to transfer are good and others not as good. For example, you may be new to your department and not feel suited to the job. Improper fit is a legitimate reason to transfer. So is the desire for a greater challenge or the need to balance your life. Simple boredom or unhappiness need more thought, though. All jobs have ups and downs. What is behind your boredom? Is it something that might change after a time, like routine? Or is it a bigger problem, like you feel unchallenged and unmotivated?  More good reasons to transfer include relocating to different state or part of town, seeking better team or department fit, issues with your direct supervisor, and striving to meet career goals your current job cannot offer. Less compelling reasons include taking issue with company policies or procedures, ethical concerns, or problems with executive level management. None of the above will change much with a transfer and you may find yourself leaving the company shortly after transferring. Do not be think that a transfer will be a quick fix for your personal and/or work issues. If your issues wind up being company-wide, the grass may not be greener on the other side. It may be harder to transfer if you work for a small company, where many co-workers are “lifers” and roles are clearly set. In that case, an external move might be better. Network with those you are interested...

What kind of look do you want your journal to have? Lots of this will be determined by what you have laying around. Here are some ideas:  You could take extra felt bits and make a pretty design that's sewed or glued on You could use buttons or other small decorative items for flair You could use glitter, ribbon, or other shiny, eye-catching additions Spread your journal out so that you're looking at the front and back covers at the same time. Put it face down on the table in front of you over your piece of felt. Start measuring, leaving 1/4" (.6cm) on all sides. Once you have a piece that's measured and just slightly bigger, cut 'er out. Now you need felt for the inside covers – you need something pretty on the inside, too, in addition to the front needing something to attach to. To figure out how big these should be, look at the flexibility of your journal:  If your journal is super flexible (as in the two covers can practically touch when bent back), measure out a piece of felt that's the same height as the first piece, but that's about 1 or 2" (2.5-5cm) shorter than half of the original piece. If your journal is not very flexible (the two covers aren't close to being about to touch when bent), measure out a piece of felt that's the same height as the first piece, but that's 2 -4" (5-9cm) shorter than half of the original piece. These measurements are also determined by the size of your journal.  A smaller or larger journal will require smaller or larger panels. In looking at your journal, you should be able to tell how large an inside panel your book could feasibly fit into. You didn't do all that planning for nothing. Now's the time to decorate your front (before you attach it to anything else). So get to sewing, gluing, taping, whatever you see fit. And if you're decorating the back, do that side, too. If you're using anything that needs to dry, make sure you give it adequate time to do so before you continue on. If it's not, you could wind up with a mess on your hands while finishing up. With the pretty...

What makes a "good" person? Different people have different ideas and perspectives about what makes someone good, but there are a few traits that most will agree are desirable traits to have. Develop your own list of qualities you want to work on to become someone others look up to.  You may determine that "good" means having integrity, being reliable, and being honest. Some see goodness in humility, generosity and kindness. The ability to empathise with others and be nonjudgmental is another way to be good. There is nothing wrong with striving to be a good person. However, it's not a good idea to change yourself just to be popular. You can't be everything to everyone. Strive to be good for the sake of being good, not to impress others. After all, life is to express yourself, not to impress others.  If your mission to change yourself is motivated by other people's opinion of you, it will be easy to get off track. You may find yourself catering to others' expectations instead of doing the right thing. That said, it's fine to want to set a good example for others, especially children. If you are a parent, the values you exhibit will leave an impression on your kids. Being genuine means saying what you really think and backing up your words with actions. People admire those who are genuine because they don't try to pretend they are someone else, and you can trust they mean what they say.  To work on being more genuine, see if you're living by your values. For example, if you value protecting the environment, does your lifestyle reflect that? Doing things like recycling, carpooling, conserving water, and so on are ways to be true to your belief that it's important to protect the environment.   Accept your whole self. Everyone has areas they know they are strong in and areas they know that don't come as easily. Everyone must deal with mistakes and not seeing a payoff for their efforts on the first try. People don't have to be perfect to be good. Genuine people are comfortable with the fact that they still have...

TL;DR in Russian:

What makes a good guitar teacher will be different for everybody. Some people learn by watching, some learn by hearing. You may want to find somebody who specializes in the kind of music you like, or somebody who just knows how to get the best results no matter what style of music the student prefers. Find the best style for your way of learning. The style of music you like is only one consideration. For example, a guitarist who prefers the blues might take lessons in flamenco-style guitar. While flamenco and blues are not at all alike in style or substance, the techniques for flamenco guitar are much more involved, and could result in a guitarist with much more complex blues style. Whatever teaching style you prefer, make sure it includes reading music. Because there are six strings involved, and many notes that can be played on different strings, playing guitar by reading music is not easy. Training in this skill is very helpful. No matter what style of music you're learning, taking lessons involves a certain amount of tedium: repetition, difficulties, more repetition, and exercises that are much more about wiggling your fingers the right way than they are about actually sounding interesting. This can lead to burnout if you don't keep it fun!  Practice the lessons set out for you, and then when you're done, close the book and play what you like, any way that you like. When practicing scales or patterns and you think your mind is going to go numb from boredom, spice up the scales or patterns with embellishments. Make sure you work on the actual notes so that you learn the techniques assigned, but also try things like using bends instead of frets for close notes; adding varying degrees of vibrato; turning on the distortion, reverb, and delays; playing the same music backwards. The idea is to do anything to break the routine and keep it interesting.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите хорошего преподавателя по гитаре. Учитесь читать ноты. Развлекайтесь.


What makes you happy, and what does not? The best way to figure that out is to track your daily activities. Keep track of everything you do during the day. You might also want to note when and how long you did it--as playing video games online for 30 minutes may have a very different effect if it is a four hour session.  You might write things like “rode my bike to work” or “watched Netflix”. Find a system that works for you. You could keep a small notebook with you or use the Memo or Notepad function on your phone to log activities. At the end of each day, look back over your activity log. Using a scale of 1 to 5 or 1 to 10, rate each activity depending on how it made you feel. “10” might indicate “very depressed” while “1” could mean “feeling really happy”.  For example, maybe you missed your bus and had to walk home in the rain. You might rate that as a high number on your scale. Maybe you had a nice talk on the phone with your mom. That might earn a low score on your scale. Keep in mind that it is important to be objective and stick with a specific type of rating system since people tend to magnify their symptoms when they are depressed. You may find surprises. For instance, you might figure out you really do feel better after walking after dinner--even though you keep stating you hate exercise. Or, conversely, you keep saying you like hanging out with Tamara but every time you have lunch together you feel worse afterwards. Spend a week or 2 tracking your activities and rating your depression. Then spend some time looking back over your logs. Notice whether there are certain activities that consistently rate really low on your scale. Then make sure to regularly spend time doing those activities. Maybe “reading for pleasure” always rates as a 1 in your log. Make it a point to allow yourself some time to enjoy that activity each day. It doesn’t have to be a lot of time. Just set aside 30 minutes before bed and take that time to enjoy yourself. Depression leads to feeling overwhelmed, and can interfere with...

What makes your voice unique? Once you understand the limitations of your range, you can experiment with different styles of singing to bring out the best in your voice.  Perhaps you have an operatic voice; practice  singing classically. Maybe you have a pleasant nasally country twang. Play it up! Even screaming and whispering have their place among rock legends. Nothing is off limits. Singing with other musicians is a great way to get more creative with your vocal style. Sign up for a choir or music club at your church or school, or get together with some friends to start a band in which you're the lead vocalist. You could also audition for a musical or start  busking in the subway if you're itching to perform. If you're serious about finding your singing voice, getting trained by a professional instructor is the way to go. Voice teachers can teach you how to use your voice as an instrument. You'll probably find that you have a greater range than you thought you did, and your teacher will be able to help you figure out what style fits with your abilities. Ask for recommendations from friends or conduct an online search to find voice teachers in your area. Look for voice teachers who sing and teach the genres you're interested in performing. Meet with at least 3 teachers before choosing 1 so you can find the best fit.

TL;DR in Russian:

What most people are concerned with is precipitation, which, in meteorology (the study of weather), is any form of water that falls onto the Earth's surface. Forms of precipitation include rain, hail, snow, and sleet. Low pressure is usually associated with humid air and in some cases, precipitation. A low pressure system is an air mass that has less dense air because its air is moister and/or warmer. Surrounding air draws inward toward the low system's center as the lighter air balloons upward, often causing clouds or precipitation because that moist air cools as it rises. You see this effect when air's invisible water vapor is forced to condense into droplets when it contacts the outside of a cold glass). But droplets won't form if the glass is only slightly cool ...thus, rising low pressure air will only produce rain if it gets up where the air is cool enough to condense the water vapor into droplets too heavy to be kept aloft by the rising air. (Clouds are simply water droplets that are small enough to be kept aloft). With very low pressure systems, storms are on the way (if they aren't there already). Clouds begin to form and move across the sky -thunderhead clouds forming when moist air is thrust very high.  Sometimes tornadoes form when very high pressure air collides with very warm, moist low pressure air. Watch out for one on the TV news, online, or in your local newspaper. (Other sources may include magazines and books, but they may not be current.) Newspapers are a convenient method to find a weather map as they are cheap, reliable, and can be cut apart so you can carry them with you while learning to interpret the symbols. If possible, find a map covering a smaller area – these can be easier to interpret. Focusing on a larger scale may be difficult for a beginner. On the map, notice the location, lines, arrows, patterns, colors, and numbers. Every sign counts and all are different.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проясните для себя общие метеорологические понятия. Для интерпретации погодных условий одной из важнейших составляющих считается способность проанализировать последствия, вызванные изменениями атмосферного давления. Изучите карту погоды. Проанализируйте небольшие участки погодной карты.


What pairs better with a bathing suit than a pair of sandals? Choose either a flip-flop or strappy pair, and slip them on your feet after you lay out or swim. You can choose neutral-toned sandals for daily shoes, and you can go with embellished or colored sandals for evening looks. These pair great with shorts and skirts, for example. Wedges are shoes that have a sole that also acts as the heel. They are usually 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm) tall, and they easily add some glam to your outfit. Wear wedges with casual looks and nighttime looks if you want to lengthen your legs. For example, wear a pair of cork wedges around the pool, or wear wedge pumps with your one piece and maxi dress. For a casual footwear option, choose a pair of lightweight sneakers, like Converse or Nike. Pair these with your one piece and shorts for a daytime look, or throw them on with a pair of skinny jeans for a night out. Either way, you’ll be comfortable and stylish in sneakers! These are great if you are exploring the beach town or going on a bike ride. They all shield your eyes from the rays while also adding a stylish accessory to your outfit. Hats are fashionable and functional when paired with a one piece.  Baseball caps look great with one pieces, shorts, and sneakers for a tomboy style. Wear straw hats for a beachy vibe. Go with slouchy hats if you want a stylish look but you also want some shade. Pick a pair of sunglasses that suits your style! Oversize glasses look great with girly, flirty outfits. Rock aviator glasses with casual or tomboy outfits. Go with cat-eye shaped sunglasses for retro or vintage styles. Before you head to the beach, throw on your sunglasses to add a stylish accessory! If you are wearing your one piece for a nighttime look, you can wear your sunglasses on your head for a beachy touch, if you’d like.
