Since most people aren't aware of their own sleep talking habits, you'll need to talk to the people who have heard you talking in your sleep. Ask them to think about how long the problem has been going on.  If the problem is recent, it most likely has a recent cause. Identifying and eliminating that cause will usually put an end to the sleep talking. Long-term sleep talking is usually harder to get rid of since the cause will be harder to identify. If your current partner or roommate cannot recall a time when you did not sleep talk, ask the people who used to live with you—past roommates, siblings, parents, and so on—if you used to talk in your sleep while you lived with them. More accurately pinning down the start of your problem can lead to a more accurate analysis of what caused it and how to stop it. Make a list of the prescription and non-prescription medications you take on a regular basis. Research each one and determine if any of them have been linked to sleep talking or other sleep problems.  Don't stop taking any prescription medication without first consulting your doctor about it, even if you believe that medicine is responsible for your sleep talking. Even if a certain medication isn't typically linked to sleep talking, you should still mention it to your doctor if your bouts of sleep talking began around the same time you started the medication. There is still some chance that the medication could be connected to the problem somehow. If you're taking recreational drugs, whether legal or illegal, you should also note that they could be involved in the problem, too. Sleep talking is often a sign of physical and mental illness. Ask yourself if there are currently any underlying health issues you may need to address. Taking care of those may also end your sleep talking episodes.  Even short-term health difficulties can trigger episodes of sleep talking. For instance, you might start talking in your sleep if you have a high fever. The sleep talking usually disappears with the fever in these...

Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions, there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future. You should avoid picking your nose. Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose. It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding. You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent the expulsion of air through the nose.  You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently applying a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day.  Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time. You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury. To increase the humidity in your environment, you should buy a humidifier. You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness, especially in the wintertime. If you do not have a humidifier, a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air. Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool, which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels. This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels, which can eventually result in further nose bleeds. Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake. Do not bear down during bowel movements, since this increases the intra-cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose  Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation.  You should also avoid hot and spicy foods. Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding. Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist. These nasal sprays are not as addictive as they only contain salt. If you don't want to buy them, you can make your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не ковыряйте в носу. Приобретите увлажнитель воздуха. Включите в свой рацион продукты с большим содержанием клетчатки. Ешьте продукты, богатые клетчаткой, что помогает в борьбе с запорами.

Since one night stands are almost exclusively physical in nature, you’ll want to make yourself as alluring as possible. Shower and groom yourself meticulously. Pick out a clean, good looking outfit that accentuates your best features. Spritz on a little fragrance. Above all, project confidence. The more assured you appear, the more desirable you’ll be. Devote a little extra time to cleaning up your intimate areas if you think sex might be on the table. When you find a suitable partner, make an effort to learn her name and find out a bit about her. This will give you just enough insight into who you’re with to make your temporary connection memorable. Put her at ease by treating her like a person with a mind of her own, not just a sexual object. It’s one thing to have a fun fling, but no one wants to feel like they’re being used.  Don’t rush things. It only makes you look desperate. No one wants to get together with someone who’s just looking for an easy score. Pay attention to see if she's returning your interest. Coy eye contact, smiling, raised eyebrows and a willingness to flirt in an overtly sexual manner are all good signs. If she purses or licks her lips, touches her hair or body suggestively or emphasizes her erogenous parts to make sure you notice them, it's almost certainly a sure bet.  There’s no time limit for setting up a one night stand. Spend as long as you want getting to know your prospective partner. Make conversation, take her out to dinner, go for drinks. Ideally, you should both be excited by everything that comes before sex, too. As soon as the possibility of physical intimacy gets brought up, be direct with her about your desires. Don’t lie to her, misrepresent your feelings or string her along in order to get what you want. A one night stand should be a consensual experience for both people. You’re both mature, responsible adults and are capable of deciding whether you can live with a one-off hookup.  When it comes time to make your move, do it in a way that isn’t forceful. Say...

Старайтесь выглядеть на все сто. Проявите интерес к девушке. Четко выражайте свои намерения. Не забывайте предохраняться. Убедитесь, что партнеру комфортно во время близости.


Since origami can be a bit difficult (and not very exciting) for younger children, the good old method of cutting and gluing construction paper might be more up their alley. This method of making a paper penguin calls for one white, one black, and one orange sheet of construction paper. To form the body of the penguin, have the child draw an oblong oval on the black construction paper with either a white crayon or a piece of chalk so that they can see the outline. One fun and silly way to help the child make the shape is to have him or her place their shoe on the sheet and trace the outline of it. Using a pair of scissors (safety scissors for younger children), have the child cut out the black oval from the construction paper. When it comes to the eyes later, you can have the child either draw them on the white paper or cut pupils out of the black paper. For the latter, you can have the child cut those out now as well. You can now have the child trace the white portion of the belly on the white construction paper. You can find something of the relative oblong shape to let the child trace it again or simply allow them to do it freehand. Once the child is done tracing the white oval, allow them to cut the shape out of the construction paper. Then use a glue stick to glue the tummy portion to the rest of the body. Glue it closer to the bottom of the body portion than the middle since the head should be above it. To make the beak for the penguin, have the child cut a small triangle out of the orange construction paper. The beak doesn't have to be an exact triangle, so you can have the child trace it first or simply cut one out. For very small children, the size of the beak might be too difficult for them to cut out, so you may have to help with this step. You have two different options to glue the beak to the penguin's face. You can either glue the triangle flat with one of the points facing downward, or you can actually make a little fold on one of the flat sides and glue it at the tab, which will make the beak...

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите по одному листу белой, черной и оранжевой бумаги для поделок. Начертите овал на листе черной бумаги. Вырежьте получившийся овал. Начертите на белой поделочной бумаге меньший овал. Наклейте белый живот на тело пингвина. Вырежьте из оранжевой бумаги для поделок небольшой треугольник. Наклейте клюв на лицо пингвина. Сделайте глаза пингвина. Итак, у вас получилось тело и голова пингвина.


Since part of the reason for scratching is to sharpen and even shorten claw growth, you can help out with a regular, careful trim of your cat's claws.  If you don't know how to clip a cat's claws, ask your vet to show you how to do this the first time, as it is easy to hurt the cat badly if you don't what you're doing.  A cat that is not used to claw clipping can be a little bothered by it initially but you need to persevere until they are comfortable with it. Again, praise your cat while your are trimming their claws so that they know you are caring. It is useful to "blunt" the tips of the claws of an indoor cat that never has access to outdoor trees. You can do this with toenail clippers (never use claw clippers made for dogs) but you must know the correct cutting line to avoid injuring the cat. Ask your veterinarian or a groomer to show you this for the first time. “Soft Paws” glued to your cat’s nails will prevent the cat from damaging surfaces because the cap covers the sharp nail. You can glue these on yourself, or have your veterinarian do it for you. These caps will eventually fall off in three to six weeks and need to be reapplied. If your cat is already able to go in and out of the house, it is highly likely that they have found themselves a tree or two to scratch on. Encourage this (unless it's harming the tree) and continue to let them have appropriate outside time, as using nature for a scratching post will definitely reduce their desire to use your furniture as one. Declawing can be a quick and easy way to prevent furniture damage, however, it is a surgery, and like all medical procedures, comes with risks.  While it is still legal to declaw a cat in most (but not all) cities in the United States and Canada, there are some ethical considerations. Declawing is considered to be an act of cruelty, and is thus illegal in Europe and other countries. A significant proportion of cats having undergone declawing refuse to use the cat litter, develop aggressive behaviour (mainly biting and hissing), and...

Since pecans can continue to cook in the skillet even after you've turned off the burner, put the toasted nuts onto a plate. Set them aside to cool before you enjoy them. Put the cooled nuts into an airtight container at room temperature and store them for up to 1 week.

Since plasma TVs use more power and generate more heat than LCD TVs, it is best to turn the screen off before cleaning. Let the screen remain off for 15-20 minutes. This will allow ample time for the unit to cool before you clean the screen.  Failure to do this may cause your cleaning solution to evaporate before it has had enough time to remove any dust, dirt, or contaminants on your screen. You could use a microfiber cleaning cloth or a soft, clean cotton rag. Rub it gently in a circular motion across the TV screen to remove all signs of dust. This should be enough to remove most dirt and dust from your TV screen.  Avoid rubbing the screen with wood-based products (e.g., paper towels, toilet paper, tissues) because they can scratch the screen. If stubborn dirty spots persist after wiping the screen dry, you can dampen your cleaning cloth. Spray 2-3 squirts of the cleaning solution on the soft cloth. Do not spray the cleaning product directly onto the screen, or it may saturate the surface and damage the screen. Don’t use a stronger chemical cleaner (e.g., ammonia or benzene), as these substances will cloud and dim the displayed image. You can find isopropyl-alcohol based screen cleaners at most PC-supply or electronics stores. Try to find a cleaner designed to clean television or computer screens. Once your cloth is dampened, use it to wipe away any hard-to-clean fingerprints or smudges on the surface of your plasma screen. If the moistened cloth is not cleaning sufficiently, you can spray additional small amounts of cleaner on the cloth. However, don’t saturate the screen with liquid cleaner or you may damage the plasma.  At no time do you want the cloth wet enough that it causes the solution to drip or run down the screen! After wiping the screen clean with a damp cloth, run a dry cloth over it to soak up any residual moisture. This will prevent your plasma screen from being damaged by the liquid. Once the screen is dry, you can plug the set back in and resume watching TV.

Since pollen is one of the main causes of  hay fever reactions, you should monitor the pollen count every day, especially in pollen season. You should try to stay indoors when the pollen count is at its peak. To access the pollen count, you can visit multiple online sources to track what the pollen count is every day..  Most local television weather forecasts also include pollen counts. The reports will usually state if the pollen count is low, moderate, medium, or high. Make sure you avoid going out if the count is said to be high. If you are extremely sensitive and highly allergic to pollen, you may consider staying indoors even if the count is moderate.  You can talk to your doctor about your susceptibility to pollen. If you plan on doing yard work, you should use a pollen mask, such as the NIOSH-rated 95 filter mask. This includes activities such as mowing the lawn, raking leaves, or gardening. These kinds of masks can be purchased online or at the local pharmacy.  If a N95 mask is not available, you can use ordinary surgical mask or a handkerchief. These will not filter the air as much as the N95 mask, but will prevent some of the pollen from being inhaled and landing on your nose.  If your allergy is severe, consider having someone else mow your lawn. You can also wear glasses or sunglasses to avoid getting the allergens in your eyes. Your regular glasses or sunglasses should be sufficient, but you can also purchase safety glasses in a hardware store or online. When you come in from outside, take a shower and wash your clothes. If this cannot be done right away, wash your face and change your clothes until you can. An inexpensive method to relieve hay fever symptoms is to rise your nasal passages using a neti pot or saline flush. A saline flush is easier to use since it only requires spraying each nostril with the saline solution. Neti pots, on the other hand, require you to mix your own saline solution.  If you choose this method, you can make your own saline solution by mixing 3 teaspoons of iodine...

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за уровнем пыльцы. Носите маску от пыльцы. Промывайте пазухи носа. Сократите количество аллергенов в доме. Поддерживайте влажность на уровне 30–50 процентов. Приобретите защитные чехлы от клещей. Не пользуйтесь некоторыми средствами для окон. Часто убирайте в ванной и на кухне. Отдавайте предпочтение влажной уборке. Не держите комнатные растения и цветы. Избегайте триггеров, связанных с домашними животными.


Since rayon can easily be stretched out, you shouldn’t move it while it is still hot from the iron. Give the fabric a few minutes to completely cool down. Then, you can hang it up or store it away. Metal hangers can leave rust spots on the fabric over time. Plus, the rayon will probably slip off of a metal hanger. Instead, hang the garment up on any type of non-metal hanger with a solid grip. Rayon is an edible fabric that easily attracts bugs. If you won’t be wearing your rayon for a while, store it in your closet in a sealed, plastic tub or space-saving bag. Use cedar bags or lavender sachets to keep the fabric fresh.

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте вискозной вещи остыть, прежде чем снимать ее с гладильной доски. Повесьте глаженую вещь на неметаллическую вешалку. Редко используемые вискозные вещи убирайте на хранение в герметичный контейнер.


Since sage has a thick leaf, it dries well off of the stalk. Gently pull off each leaf and place it on a clean towel. You could also use sharp scissors to cut the leaves from the stalk, but this is more time consuming. Check each leaf to make sure it's healthy. Otherwise, your sage may not taste right, spoiling any dish you season with it. Insects are common on herbs, including sage. Look over each leaf to make sure there are no obvious signs of insects, such as bugs crawling, webbing, or little white specs that could be eggs. You can remove insects, but it's best to discard any leaves that have webbing or possible eggs. Hold the sage under running water for a few seconds either in your hand or in a colander. Since sage leaves are larger, using a colander is an easy way to rinse the herbs. After the rinse, gently shake the sage and then place them on a clean, dry towel. Gently blot away the remaining dampness by pressing a 2nd clean towel over the herbs. Place the prepared herbs on a dry towel.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отделите листья от стебля. Избавьтесь от поврежденных, почерневших и дряблых листьев. Проверьте листья на наличие насекомых. Помойте листья холодной водой, после чего стряхните с них лишнюю воду. Высушите листья чистым полотенцем.


Since she already knows you like her, it's best to let her know that you know she's aware of your feelings for her. This helps get rid of any awkwardness you both might be feeling. Tell her that you do like her, but make sure she knows she isn't expected to respond with her own feelings. You might say, "I know you found out that I like you, and I wanted you to know that those are my real feelings. But it's totally okay if you're not sure how you feel about me right now." Even if you’re feeling shy because she knows you like her, try to be as authentically you as possible. If you’re only acting a certain way to get her to like you, you won’t be starting off a friendship or relationship that’s real, and she’ll likely notice that you’re not being yourself.  If she’s acting awkward around you, know that it’s likely because she isn’t sure how to act now that she knows you like her. While it can be tempting to try to avoid her the first few days after she finds out you like her, it's best to go on pretending like nothing has changed. A smile is a great way to immediately look happier and more attractive. Give her a soft smile when talking to her, or smile and wave at her when you see her in the halls or among friends. Smiling makes you look more confident and will show her that you don't mind that she knows you like her. Break any awkward barriers by trying to strike up a conversation with her between classes, at lunch, or after school. Ask her questions about her family, favorite hobbies, or future goals. It’s likely that she’ll ask you questions about yourself too, helping her get to know you as well.  For example, you might ask, “What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekend?” or “Do you have any pets?” Asking her questions will help you figure out what she’s passionate about and what you two have in common. When she’s answering your questions or just talking about different things, pay attention to what she’s saying. It’s not only important to show her that you’re hearing what she’s saying by making eye...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подтвердите свои чувства. Оставайтесь собой и старайтесь не волноваться сверх меры. Улыбайтесь, чтобы показать свое дружелюбие. Задавайте вопросы. Слушайте и запоминайте ответы. Поддерживайте зрительный контакт, чтобы укреплять связь между вами. Старайтесь рассмешить девушку и показать свое чувство юмора.


Since she is only sending you one word text messages, try turning it into something funny. Say something like: "A cat has your tongue, huh? I hope you're not allergic :)" It makes her one word response funny instead of weird or uncomfortable. It also shows her your playful side.  You can also say something like: "You must be on some important spy business today. Tell James Bond I said hi :)" Make sure you are appropriate with your teasing. You don't want to offend her or make her feel uncomfortable. Try to feel out her boundaries to know what kind of teasing is best for her. If you want her to respond to your texts, you need to hook her in with something interesting and funny. Start off with something like: "Something so weird just happened to me." When she responds, make up something ridiculous like: "A zombie just ran into my room. But I took care of it. Good thing I know about apocalyptic survival."  The more ridiculous you make your story, the more likely she will be to respond. Make sure you don't take it too far. You want to make her laugh, not make her uncomfortable. Whenever she answers, exaggerate your responses to her one word replies. For example, you ask her how her day was and she replies "Okay." You can respond with something like: "Woah, calm down there. You don't need to be so enthusiastic :)" The added emoticon helps her know that you are saying it in jest and aren't mad at her reply. It will also hopefully make her want to respond with more detail in the future. Since she isn't responding to you, lay the blame on yourself for the lull in conversations. Make fun of your conversational skills with quips like: "Wow, I must really be off my game today. I'm not usually this boring :)" The added emoticon lets her know that you are not mad at her and are poking fun at yourself. Don't be self deprecating. You want your quips to be funny, not make her uncomfortable or make you look sullen and unhappy. If she isn't being super responsive, you can make up playful answers for her to get her interested...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подразните ее. Придумывайте смешные истории. Преувеличивайте реакцию. Подшучивайте над собой. Придумывайте ответы за нее.


Since shin splints are almost always caused by exercising too much, the first thing to do is ramp down your workout routine to something you can accomplish without pain. Resting allows the swollen muscles along your shin bone to heal.  Avoid sprinting, running, or walking too quickly while recovering from shin splints. If you still want to exercise during your recovery period, cross-train with low-impact exercises like biking or swimming. Shin splints are most commonly caused by inflamed muscles, and icing them will ease the pain and reduce inflammation.  Fill a food storage bag with ice, seal it, and wrap it in a thin towel. Apply it to your shins in 20-minute intervals. Don't apply ice directly to your body, since you could damage your skin. Drugs containing ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.  Make sure you take only the recommended dosage, since NSAIDs can lead to an increased risk of bleeding and ulcers.  Don't medicate with NSAIDs as a way to kill the pain to allow you to exercise as usual; that's treating the symptom, not the problem, and you'll only make your shin splints worse. If your shin splints are making it difficult to get up and walk without pain, you should seek medical care. You may have fractures in your bones that are causing your legs to hurt. In rare cases, surgery is required to treat stress fractures and other causes of shin splints.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отдыхайте. Холодный компресс. Примите нестероидные противовоспалительные препараты. Обратитесь к врачу.


Since silverfish are nocturnal, you may not see them during the day. Rather, you'll probably become aware of their presence because of what they leave behind. Look for damp, dark areas with small spots of excrement that look like black pepper. Small holes and yellowish stains on clothing, wallpaper, cereal boxes, and other cardboard or fabric materials also indicate they're nearby. Finally, silverfish shed their skin, so you can look around for tiny skin casts in your bathroom, basement and other areas where you suspect they live. Take a quart-sized mason jar or another glass container. Wrap the outside of the container with a piece of masking tape. Place a piece of bread at the bottom of the glass. Set the glass in an area where you suspect silverfish reside. Make sure to wrap tape all the way to the top. The silverfish will climb into the glass to eat the bread, but they'll be unable to get back out, since the glass is too slippery. Use the traps at night, when silverfish come out to feed. Roll up a newspaper, band the ends with elastic, and moisten it. Set it out where you often see silverfish leavings before you go to bed. In the morning, silverfish will have eaten their way into the newspaper, since you've provided them with both food and a cozy environment. Throw the newspapers away (without unrolling them) or burn them. Repeat every night until you don't see any more signs of silverfish. Make as many traps as necessary to trap the silverfish in your home. Depending on the severity of your infestation, you may need to set them out several nights in a row. If you don't want silverfish touching your glassware, you can buy traps designed to catch them from a hardware store. Any type of sticky traps will work. Buy some "roach motels" or smaller traps you can set around to catch the silverfish. You can bait them with small pieces of bread or another starch.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, где они скрываются. Установите стеклянные ловушки для чешуйниц. Ловушка из газеты. Установите магазинные ловушки.


Since silverfish love damp places, reducing the humidity in your home is a sure way to keep them out. Buy a dehumidifier and try to reduce the humidity in your home. If you don't want to use a dehumidifier, run the air conditioner or at least keep the fans on. If your house is full of dark, damp cracks and crevices, filling these is a good way to keep silverfish out. Buy some caulk and apply it along baseboards, inside cracks, and in holes in your wall or floor. This is particularly important to do in your kitchen, bathroom and basement. Keeping your floor clear of silverfish food may help keep their population down. Don't leave a pile of books on the floor, and clean up your dirty laundry before it sits there too long. In addition to these primary food sources, consider the following sources that may be a factor:   Cardboard boxes. Store your boxes on shelves instead of the floor, where they're more likely to get damp. Food containers. Keep your food in sealed plastic containers instead of boxes. Wallpaper. If you've got old wallpaper, consider replacing it with paint or new wallpaper. Old clothing. If you store your out-of-season clothing in your basement or a dark closet, consider placing it in plastic bags to keep the silverfish out. Vacuuming helps to keep their food sources down and sucks eggs out of the carpet and baseboards. Vacuum at least once a week. When necessary, you can dry out your carpets by sprinkling them with baking soda, leaving it for a few hours, then vacuuming it up. This dries out the eggs so you can suck them up.

TL;DR in Russian:

Уменьшите уровень влажности в доме. Заделайте все трещины и щели, в которых чешуйницы могут откладывать яйца. Уберите в доме источники пищи. Часто пылесосьте дом.


Since strep throat is a bacterial infection, you risk not only infecting those around you but potentially reinfecting yourself after you’ve recovered, simply by having infected items around you. Most importantly, wash your hands often with warm, soapy water and lather them for at least twenty seconds.  For situations when you cannot wash your hands, consider keeping a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer around. Ensure that the solution is at least 60 percent alcohol. If your do have to touch your mouth, such as when you floss your teeth, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands before and after. Once you’ve been on your antibiotic for at least twenty-four hours, you should replace your toothbrush since it’s come into contact with the strep bacteria in your mouth. If not, you risk reinfecting yourself once you’ve already cleared your infection. Utensils, cups, and other items that have come into contact with your mouth should be washed in hot, soapy water to ensure that you kill the strep bacteria present on them. This also includes pillowcases and sheets that have been close to your mouth while you were sick. Wash them with detergent on the hot setting of your washing machine. If your sore throat has also led to coughing, then you should make sure you cover your mouth with your hands, sleeve, or a tissue to avoid potentially infecting those around you. Make sure you wash your hands after as well. Along with cleaning them well, you should also avoid sharing items such as cups during the course of your illness.

TL;DR in Russian:

Мойте руки горячей водой с антибактериальным мылом как можно чаще. Поменяйте зубную щетку. Тщательно мойте посуду в горячей мыльной воде. Прикрывайте рот при чихании или кашле. Не пользуйтесь общими предметами.


Since super heroes are generally identified by their powers, it makes perfect sense to think of the powers first and then shape the character to fit them. A huge number of superpowers have already been claimed by other characters, so try to come up with something unique.  Consider giving the hero multiple powers, like flight and super strength. A mix of powers might help differentiate your new hero from other ones that already exist. Some superheroes don’t have supernatural powers and instead rely on gadgets and training, like Batman and Black Widow. Their dedication commands respect, but also makes them more vulnerable—and possibly more interesting. A tragic or “fatal” flaw is essentially a character trait or quality that your hero grapples with on a regular basis. An invulnerable hero can get old fast. By giving him or her a fatal weakness, you make battles more interesting and make fans more invested in the character. For example, Superman's weakness is kryptonite, while Batman’s tragic flaw is his obsession with seeking justice after seeing his parents murdered. Flaws or weaknesses can be emotional, psychological, or physical. Your super hero might have two separate identities: his everyday identity, and his hero identity. These two lives might entail separate personalities and traits. Work out what traits your hero possess in each form. Consider diving your superhero an alter ego, (i.e. Superman and Clark Kent). This can add dimension and make your character more interesting to readers. It’s doubtful you’ll be able to find traits or powers that haven’t already been taken by someone somewhere, so just be sure to tweak it enough that you don’t directly rip off another character. For example, if you want to give your hero Superman’s powers, give him a different name and a different backstory. That way, your hero is different and original. If you’re creating your own superhero, you are probably pretty familiar with the standard traits and qualities of popular superheroes. Rather than making yours just like...

TL;DR in Russian:

Придумайте, какими силами будет обладать ваш супергерой. Наделите своего супергероя каким-то недостатком или слабым местом. Создайте из своего героя еще и человека. Не пытайтесь скопировать другого персонажа. Попробуйте найти еще какие-то качества, которыми он будет отличаться от других супергероев.


Since telling your friends about anxiety may cause you anxiety, you should help yourself by getting your thoughts together beforehand. If you get anxious and upset while talking to your friends, you may not be able to get words out. Make a list of points you want to make, things you want to say, or ideas you want to address when you talk to your friends. After you write down your thoughts, you should start a new list. Carefully decide who you want to tell about your anxiety disorder. Consider who the person is to you. Ask yourself why you want to tell this person. You should also decide if you feel comfortable with this person knowing.  Figure out if you believe the person you want to tell is supportive. How has this person reacted when you’ve shared things with him or her before? You also should think about whether you want help from the person or if you simply just want them to know. For example, you may want to tell your immediate family, your partner, and your best friends about your anxiety disorder because you spend the most time with them. However, you may also want to tell the person you share your office with about your anxiety disorder in case you face anxiety while at work. Depending on who you tell, the amount of information you share with that person may change. You should consider how much about your disorder you feel comfortable sharing.  For example, you may decide to be completely honest with your parents, spouse, or best friend. But you may limit how much detail you give your co-worker. Figure out how much you feel comfortable sharing with your friends. You should also consider why they need to know certain details. Some people may not need to know about medication or some of the ways anxiety keeps you from certain activities. Unless your friends know someone else with an anxiety disorder, they may have no experience with it. They may also not have any knowledge about anxiety, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, or mental health issues. Put together some resources for them so they can learn...

TL;DR in Russian:

Запишите свои мысли. Решите, с кем вы хотите поделиться. Решите, насколько подробным будет рассказ. Соберите информацию для друзей. Скажите, какую помощь вы желаете получить. Уясните, что вы не надоедаете друзьям.


Since tension is bound to occur in friendships and relationships, it is crucial that you can express your feelings clearly. When you are owning and examining your feelings, you have the opportunity to handle this tension smoothly. And, speaking expressively will open space for other people to express how they feel, and work through these different feelings together.  Start by listening. Make sure to acknowledge what the person is saying before you counter with your own views. Use "I" statements. A simple way to avoid being too confrontational is to tell people what you're experiencing rather than what they're doing wrong. For example, you can say "When you're late to our coffee dates, I feel like you don't value my time" rather than "You're always late and it's really rude." As strange as it sounds, sometimes people don't know what's acceptable behavior. Acceptable behavior to one person can be unacceptable to another. In order for people to know what you are willing to put up with, be upfront and make it clear.  For example, if being late to coffee dates is your pet peeve, let them know. They might have no clue what effect their behavior has on you. If the person is really toxic, this strategy may not work, but it's good practice for setting boundaries regardless. This ties into effective arguing, but speaking assertively is something you can do all the time, whether you're arguing or not. Being an assertive speaker will help improve your communication and relationships.  Try to figure out where you could use some improvement. Maybe you're easily intimidated and people tend to step all over you, especially if they have a toxic personality. Identify the problem area as a first step. Reflect on tactics for specific situations. Maybe your toxic friend asks you for money and you have a hard time saying no. What can you do in these situations? Could you rehearse a simple script for the next time they ask? For example, you could say "I care about you, but I'm not able to give you any more money." Practice...

TL;DR in Russian:

Эффективно выражайте свои мысли. Расскажите об отношении, которого вы ожидаете. Говорите уверенно и твердо. Защищайте себя. Извинитесь в случае необходимости.


Since the Google Drive mobile app doesn't support folder downloads, you'll need to access your Drive on the web as though you were doing it on a computer. If you're not already signed in to your Google account, follow the on-screen instructions to do so now.  Use this method if you want to save the folder to your Android in its current state. If you modify the downloaded files, they will not affect the versions that remain on your Google Drive. The folder will be compressed into a ZIP file, which you'll need to unzip after downloading. The Files app, which is the blue-and-white folder icon in the app drawer, can be used to unzip the file. If you don't have Files, download it from the Play Store by searching for files by google. If you're using Chrome, which comes pre-installed on most Androids, tap the three-dot menu at the top-right corner and select Desktop site. This refreshes the page to display it as it would on a computer. The steps should be similar in other browsers. This displays information about the folder in the upper-right portion of the page. It's right above the folder's name in the upper-right area of the screen. A menu will expand. Google Drive will compress the folder into a downloadable ZIP. When the file is ready, a download window will appear. Depending on your settings, you may have to tap Save also. Once the download is complete, a new file ending with the .ZIP file extension will be in your Downloads folder. It's the blue-and-white folder icon in the app drawer. If you don't see this option, you may have to tap Browse and then My Files first. The file will have the same name as the folder you downloaded and will end with the ".zip" file extension. This extracts the folder from the ZIP file and places it inside your Downloads folder. Tap the folder's name to access the files inside.

Since the area will be sensitive and could be sweaty, it's important to wash the area with a mild, unscented soap. Wash and rinse using warm or cool water, making sure to completely rinse off the soap. Extra residual soap could irritate your skin even more.  Consider using a plant-based oil soap. Look for a soap made from a vegetable oil (like olive, palm, or soy), vegetable glycerin, or plant butters (like coconut or shea). Be sure to bathe immediately after sweating a lot. This prevents moisture from becoming trapped in the rash area. Once your skin is clean and dried, you can lightly apply a powder to prevent moisture from accumulating between your skin. Choose an unscented baby powder, but check to see if it contains talcum powder (which you should only use in small amounts).  If the baby powder you use contains talcum powder, use it sparingly. Some studies have linked talc to an increased risk of ovarian cancer in women. Avoid applying cornstarch since bacteria and fungi can actually feed off of it, causing skin infection. Keep your legs moisturized so they don't chafe against each other. Use a natural lubricant like almond oil, castor oil, lanolin, or calendula oil. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before you apply the lubricant. Consider placing clean gauze over the rash to protect the skin. Apply lubricant at least twice a day or more often if you notice the rash is still rubbing on your clothing or skin. While lubricating your skin is important, you can also apply herbal essential oils that have healing properties. You can also add medicinal honey for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. To use the herbs, add 1 to 2 drops of any of the following oils to 4 tablespoons of your lubricant:  Calendula oil: the oil from this flower can heal skin wounds and acts as an anti-inflammatory.  St John’s wort: is usually used to treat depression and anxiety, but it is traditionally used to heal skin irritation. Children or women who are pregnant or nursing shouldn't use St John's wort.  Arnica oil:...

Since the best readers read with a purpose, it makes sense for you to begin with materials you want to or need to read in your everyday life. These can include things such as short and simple newspapers and magazine articles, work memos, schedules and medical instructions. The best way to get familiar with the words on the page is to say them out loud.  Working with a teaching partner, "sound out" unfamiliar words and use the pictures, verbal explanations and context to figure our the meaning of the new words. Reading often and for sustained, uninterrupted periods of time will help you develop vocabulary and become a more proficient reader.  Set aside specific amounts of time each day to devote to reading.  Keep track of what you read and for how long by creating a reading log.

Since the blind pimple is deep under your skin, it will take longer to come to the surface before it heals. To speed this process along, use a warm compress to draw the blind pimple to the surface. Soak a cotton ball or cloth in hot water and apply it to the blind pimple for a few minutes. Do this up to three times a day until the blind pimple comes to a head. You can also soak a cotton ball in a hot herbal tea that contains peppermint, lavender, calendula, or thyme. If the blind pimple is causing your skin to feel red, inflamed, or painful, apply an ice pack for up to ten minutes. This can reduce swelling and make it easier to apply concealer if you're getting ready to start the day. It also reduces the pain of a blind pimple. Always wrap an ice pack in a thin cloth. Avoid applying ice directly to your skin since this can damage your skin's delicate tissue. Use a lotion that contains 2% green tea extract to reduce your acne. You can also soak green tea bags in warm water and apply them directly to the blind pimple for several minutes. The tea can act as an astringent which will make the pimple reabsorb or bring it to the surface where antibacterial herbs can kill the bacteria. Studies show that green tea is useful in treating a variety of skin conditions. Dip a cotton ball or cotton swab in undiluted tea tree oil. Apply the oil directly to your blind pimple. Don't rinse off the oil. The tea tree oil can reduce the inflammation that's causing your blind pimple, making it heal faster. Studies suggest that tea tree oil also has antimicrobial properties. More research is still needed to determine how effective topical tea tree oil applications are in treating bacterial or viral infections. Create an all-natural mixture with antibacterial, astringent, and skin healing properties. Combine 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey, 1 egg white (which binds the mixture together), and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (which acts as a bleaching agent). If you don’t need or want a bleaching agent, substitute witch hazel which can...

Since the buyer does not have the opportunity to test the scent before the purchase, you should describe it as thoroughly as possible.  At minimum, you should describe the basic fragrance type of the perfume. Most perfumes can be classified by one of five categories: floral, citrus, green, spicy, or earthy.  If you know of any specific scents (vanilla, sandalwood, rose, etc.) that have been included in the formula, mention them by name. When in doubt, check the manufacturer's description of the fragrance for more information on the scent itself. At minimum, you need to indicate whether or not the bottle has any dents, scratches, chips, stains, or worn spots. You should also note the bottle type.  Most perfumes will be sold in standard spray bottles, but if the bottle is an atomizer, that detail is worth noting. An atomizer bottle has a squeeze ball attached to the spray nozzle, and for many perfume collectors, that bottle design is more desirable than the standard spray bottle would be. Describe the material the bottle is made from. Most perfume bottles are made from glass, but some can be made from plastic.  Indicate the width, height, and depth of the bottle, even if you have already mentioned how much perfume is inside. More detail is better than less if you want to make your buyers happy. Look for any manufacturer's signatures or labels on the bottle. Mention any such details if they exist. Describe the label, too. State the material the label is made from and the current condition of that label. You need to state in clear terms whether the perfume is brand new, opened but unused, or used. Even if the perfume level can be seen in the picture, you should clearly specify how much is left. If you do not know the exact amount, estimate it, erring on the side of caution by guessing too low rather than too high. Buyers probably won't complain if they get more perfume than indicated, but they will if they feel you cheated by selling them an amount less than what you indicated. You need to state both the...

Since the cake will be unwieldy once it is layered and iced, it's best to use the same plate on which you plan to serve the cake. Hold the knife parallel to the brim of the cake and slice about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) off the top. Be careful to slice straight across, holding the knife level as you go.  Try to create a flat, even surface. This will serve as a base for the second layer. Remove the rounded top of the cake and discard it, or save it to eat. Don't attempt to cut off the top of the cake with a small knife, as this will result in an uneven surface.

Since the cyanuric acid needs to be balanced with the other chemicals in your pool, it's important to check this balance every week. For example, you might find that while cyanuric acid levels are fine, your chlorine level is off. If your outdoor pool doesn't have a cover and there's a lot of rainfall, the cyanuric acid may become diluted and ineffective. Remember to check the cyanuric acid levels if the pool's water becomes diluted. You can test the cyanuric acid levels as often as you like. If you believe the balance of your pool is off, test the cyanuric acid levels again even if it hasn't been a week since the last test. Buy strips that are chemically formulated to detect cyanuric acid. Keep in mind that many basic kits only test for chlorine and pH levels so you may need to buy a more advanced kit. To use a strip, dip it in the water for about 30 seconds and compare the color on the strip to the color on the chart that came with the strips. This will tell you the cyanuric acid level in the water. Purchase test strips online or from your local pool supply store. Some kits will come with a small container for gathering a water sample. Add the powdered solution and swirl the container so the water dissolves the solution. Wait 1 to 3 minutes and fill a sample cell with some untested pool water. Once the time is up, fill another sample cell with some of the tested pool water. You'll now be able to compare the results to an untested sample. Use the chart that came with the test kit to determine the cyanuric acid level in your pool. If you don't want to test the water yourself, fill a container with water and take it to your local pool supply store where they can test it for you. You'll need to gather about 2 tablespoons (30 ml). The cyanuric acid in your pool should be between 30 and 50 ppm, although some find it more effective closer to 80 ppm. Keep in mind that the higher your cyanuric acid levels, the weaker your chlorine becomes. The World Health Organization recommends that cyanuric acid levels don't...

Since the fan is inside your console, you'll have to open it up to clean it. Understand that this will void the warranty. Typically, the warranty only lasts one year, but even so, expect a voided warranty to affect its resale value if you intend to sell or trade in your console later on. With that in mind, you will most likely have to clean the fan at some point. This should be done whenever it becomes noticeably louder than it was when you first used it. Ideally, this shouldn't happen until a year has passed. If it happens sooner, the fan should be cleaned despite the loss of warranty, in order to prevent the console from overheating. Unplug the console from its power source, as well as other cables so they're not in the way. Then locate the four screws on the back of the console. At least two of these will be covered with warranty stickers, so peel those off. Then unscrew all of the screws with a T8 or T9 screwdriver and remove the bottom half of the console very carefully. Now that the internal components are exposed, use your compressed air very carefully to avoid spraying moisture. Hold the can upright with at least five or since inches (13 to 15 cm) of space between the nozzle and the fan. The fan is the most likely to need cleaning, so start with that. If necessary: Also spray compressed air anywhere else you see dust, except for the disk drive. Doing so will very likely damage it. Don't risk damaging components by wiping them with a cloth as you would with the exterior. At the same time, play it safe and assume that some moisture escaped your can of compressed air. Let the console sit as is for a half-hour (or longer, if necessary) so it can air-dry, just in case. Don't worry if you didn't give any single speck of dust out. Go ahead and put the console back together if you've gotten rid of the majority of it. As long as you gave it time to air-dry, it should be safe to plug back in and use again.

Since the hairs around your butt area are difficult to reach by yourself, it’s best to get them waxed off by a professional. Waxing specialists can recommend several different waxing methods, such as sugaring or hard wax for sensitive skin or wax strips for pulling up all of those fine hairs.  Sugaring and hard wax won’t be able to remove those tiny hairs as efficiently as wax strips, but they’ll be less painful than wax strips. A wax specifically for your butt typically costs between $10 and $30. Hard wax is best for waxing your butt area —  it pulls out fine hairs while not pulling off skin, making it great on sensitive areas. Hard wax kits cost roughly $20-$40 and can be found at beauty stores or online. If you’re going to do the waxing yourself, make sure you remove any dead skin and clean the area thoroughly. If your butt isn’t clean before waxing, you could risk your pores getting dirt or bacteria in them once they’re opened. By trimming the hairs to 0.25 inches (0.64 cm), you’ll make the waxing process go much more smoothly. If your butt hairs are much longer than that, the wax might not be as effective, and shaving beforehand won’t allow the wax to cling to your hairs. Make sure your wax isn’t too cold or too hot — wax that’s cold won’t be able to pull out the hairs, and if the wax is too hot, you could end up with burns or damaged skin. Follow the specific instructions that come with your wax kit, which will be different depending on the specific type of wax. As a rule of thumb, try to apply the wax in the same direction that the hairs are growing. When pulling off the wax, pull it the other way. After you’ve removed all of the wax, you can use baby oil or olive oil to clean off your butt and remove any residue. It’s important to moisturize the area where you removed the hairs after waxing to help soothe the sensitive skin. Use a lotion that suits your skin after waxing, and continue to use it if you feel irritation.

TL;DR in Russian:

После эпиляции удалите остатки воска и увлажните кожу.


Since the lamp is made of salt, it will absorb water and may start melting if it is placed in areas of near sources of water. Keep the lamp in dry places. Don’t place it near showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, or washing machines. Extra humidity in your home may cause the salt lamp to melt. To help with this, you may want to use a dehumidifier in your home to reduce the moisture in the air. This may be especially important if you live in a humid climate. Since humidity is the main thing that melts a salt crystal lamp, you may want to put the lamp away into a dry closet or room when using anything that creates steam. For example, you may want to move it somewhere different if you are boiling water on the stove, taking a shower, or washing laundry. Make it a habit to wipe down your lamp to remove excess moisture. Use a cloth, towel, or other item that won’t leave lint behind on the lamp. If you don’t want to do this every few days, wait until you notice moisture on the lamp.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте лампу в сухом помещении. Снизьте уровень влажности в доме. Убирайте соляную лампу, когда пользуетесь приборами, образующими пар. Часто убирайте с соляной лампы лишнюю влагу.


Since the main culprit for eye strain is today's culture is time spent in front of a computer, a TV, a cell phone, or another device with a screen, finding alternatives such as reading a paper book rather than reading on your iPad can be a huge help. Also, to reduce the harmful effects of screen time that cannot be avoided (such as on your computer at work), try positioning the screen lower and using an anti-glare screen to diminish the strain on your eyes. If you are having continued eye strain that is bothering you in your day-to-day life, consult your physician. It is possible that you have a vision problem, or another eye condition, that may be contributing to the discomfort and/or tension you feel. It is always better to be safe rather than sorry, and to see a doctor to ensure that nothing more serious is going on (as well as to obtain appropriate medical treatment if needed).

TL;DR in Russian:

Ограничивайте экранное время. Обратитесь к врачу.


Since the main source of the H. Pylori bacteria is not yet known, you should always practice proper personal hygiene and hand washing. You should wash your hands thoroughly and often, especially after using the restroom or before handling food. Proper hand washing starts with warm water, at least 120 degrees, and a decent sized helping of liquid soap. Place the soap in your hands and wet them briefly. Wash them for a total of 15-30 seconds, scrubbing around your fingers, along the front and back of your palms, and around your fingernails, and under jewelry. Then, rinse them in the warm water and dry them with a clean, sanitized towel or clean paper towel. When you are in a non-industrialized nation, eat only in restaurants with sanitation standards similar to an industrialized country's standard of sanitation. Kitchen utensils should be washed in hot water with antibacterial soap. Once the utensils are cleansed, they may become reinfected if handled by a carrier who has touched his mouth or not properly washed his hands after using the restroom. Because of this, ensure that you only eat at places where employees wear gloves as well. The use of hand sanitizer is helpful in these questionable scenarios. If you are married to or in a relationship with someone infected or if you have a family member who has H. Pylori, you should be very careful with your interactions with them. If you are married or dating someone infected, do not kiss them or engage in any sort of sexual activity until they have been treated for the infection. Also keep their toothbrush, cups, and utensils in a different area so the bacteria cannot be transmitted through saliva. You should also not let anyone in your family with the bacterial infection prepare food, serve drinks, or touch things that are consumed so they cannot transmit the bacteria accidentally through touch or other contamination. If a family member gets sick with the bacterial infection, you need to get checked as well. In terms of prevention, eradication is a large part of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Тщательно мойте руки. Ешьте только в заведениях, где соблюдаются санитарные нормы. Прекратите контактировать с инфицированным человеком. Сдайте анализ на бактерию H.


Since the meeting was by your request, you should be the one to control it. To set a good tone, you should thank the members for taking time out of their day to speak with you. For example, “I understand you are very busy today, so thank you for taking the time to meet with me”. Simply explain that you have decided to leave the company. Although it is not required, you can choose to provide a brief explanation as long as it will not create a negative situation.  For example you can say, “I have decided to leave the company to pursue another opportunity” or “I have chosen to leave the company for personal reasons”. Then, give your last date of employment. As described above, you can provide the standard 2 week notice unless you are required to provide a longer notice. Many jobs provide the employee with valuable knowledge and experience that will most likely contribute to their next career move. It is important to recognize this and convey your gratitude. If you do so, you will leave a good lasting impression. If you are leaving on good terms and want to help the company or your replacement, you can offer your assistance.  Offering your assistance in hiring or training your replacement takes a load off of others who may not understand everything you do in a day. Your employer may not take you up on your offer but the offer itself shows that you are courteous and loyal to the company. If you are leaving on good terms, it may be beneficial to ask for a letter of recommendation. This is a good idea even if you do not need the letter at this time.  You never know how many references a future employer will request. Therefore, it is best to request a letter of recommendation while your work is still fresh in your supervisor’s mind. Each company has their own procedures when someone resigns. If during the meeting these procedures are not explained to you, you should ask. For example, “So what are the next steps?” or “Are there any special procedures I need to follow from now until my last day?” Some important...

Since the paint has already dried on the faux leather, you will need to find a sharp knife or pin to remove it with. Gently scratch at the surface of the paint with the tip of the knife or pin. Be careful you do not scrape or puncture the faux leather. If you cannot easily remove the dried paint using the tip of a knife or pin, try a toothbrush. Use the toothbrush to make gentle circular strokes, so that the dried paint begins peeling off the faux leather. Do not apply too much pressure or you might scratch the surface of the faux leather. Mix 1 quart/950mL water with 1 ounce/30mL dish detergent. Dip a sponge or soft cloth in the cleaning solution. Wipe the affected area down with the hot soapy water. This should help remove any remaining flecks of dried paint. For tough stains, dip the toothbrush in the cleaning solution and scrub the stain. Once you have removed the dried paint from the faux leather, dry the affected area with a cloth made of microfiber or cotton. You can also use a paper towel to dry the faux leather. If you have a tough stain on faux leather that doesn't respond to hot, soapy water or scrubbing, you might need a special cleaner. Look for cleaners that are specifically formulated for faux leather, and use the cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. You can use these cleaners on wet or dry paint.

Since the pasta needs lots of room to move around as it cooks, use a big pot. For example, if you'll be cooking a 1 pound (450 g) box of pasta, get out a pot that's at least 4 US quarts (3.8 L) in size. Then, pour in enough water to come 2/3 up the side of the pot. If you use a pot that's too small, your pasta is more likely to clump together as it cooks. Stir the noodles with a pasta fork to break the noodles up and leave the lid off the pot. Then, check the pasta package for a recommended cooking time and set a timer for the minimum time that's suggested. For example, if the box says to cook the noodles for 7 to 9 minutes, set a timer for 7 minutes. Thin pasta, such as angel hair, will cook faster than thick or long noodles, such as fettuccine or penne, which take closer to 8 or 9 minutes.

Since the possibility of a goodbye kiss always beckons—and assuming it’s your desire—it’s best to start getting close sooner than later. Otherwise, you will find yourself saying your goodbyes with what feels like a chasm between you, making the swoop in for the kiss very conspicuous and awkward. Guys, this is when you get the dreaded last-minute-turn-and-kiss-on-the-cheek routine, which is second only to the phrase, “You remind me of my brother,” for most-deflating date ending. As you walk your date to the car, the door, etc., put your hand (or a jacket) on your date’s shoulder or back. This breaks the touch barrier, gently lets your date know your intentions, and gives you an excuse to stand very close all at the same time. If your date angles his or her body away from you or speeds up to create distance, don’t try to complete the goodnight kiss—and don’t let your ego make a fool of you. Simply flash a big smile, thank them for the lovely time, and go about your business. It could simply be that your date isn’t ready to kiss yet. . Making eye contact while standing close is a universally acknowledged indicator that a post-date kiss is about to take place.  If the eye contact becomes too long, break and reestablish it as necessary; it’s better to let your eyes dart around than subject your date to an interrogation-style stare down. One good way to break eye contact while maintaining the romance is to glance down at your date’s lips It may feel awkward to make your desires so clear, just remember that by giving your date a heads-up, you will make the kiss go much more smoothly and improve the odds that it will turn into a glorious make out session. Trying to plant a kiss by surprise, on the other hand, may result in bumped noses and teeth, a startled pullback, and much awkwardness. When people get nervous, they often compensate by finding anything to talk about, killing the kissing opportunities.  While you shouldn’t try to end the conversation abruptly, which might come across as trying to get over with your...

Since the processing of foods can vary widely, reading the food labels will give you the most detailed and accurate information on how processed a food is and what has been changed or added to it.  The ingredient label on packaged foods allows consumers to know exactly what's in the food.  It lists all ingredients from the highest quantity to the lowest quantity present in the food.  In addition, you'll find any additives, preservatives or flavorings present in the food. There are a variety of tips or tricks to help consumers decide what level of processing is acceptable.  It's typically recommended to not purchase foods with ingredients that you cannot pronounce.  For example, some processed foods include ingredients like diacetyl (a butter flavoring) or potassium sorbate (a chemical used to prolong shelf life).  Note that if a company has a proprietary blend (of things like spices or flavorings), they are not legally required to disclose those ingredients.   If you see this listed on an ingredient label, you may not want to purchase this item. Note some additives can make a food more nutritious.  For example, some companies add in vitamins or minerals to their foods.  Even though these additives may not be familiar, they actually improve the nutrition content of the food. Fruits and vegetables are nutritious foods that contain essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.  It's recommended to make half of all your meals a fruit or a vegetable.  Minimally processed, whole fruits and vegetables to focus on include:  fresh fruits and vegetables (like apples, bananas, tomatoes or eggplant), pre-washed/-pre-cut items (like bagged lettuce or steam-in-the-bag green beans), and canned or frozen items.  Note, with canned foods, choose items that are low-sodium or no-salt-added and prepared without sauces, gravies, or other seasonings. Avoid highly processed fruits and vegetables like canned fruit in syrup, fruit cups in syrup or with added sugar, and canned or frozen vegetables in a sauce or with added...

Since there are no federal requirements on weather-related delays and cancellations in the U.S., all American airlines have their own policies for compensation. Make sure to check your airline’s rules so you can be firm on what you are owed. Go online or call a customer service representative to find airline policies.  Airlines generally won’t compensate you for delays caused by storms, riots, and labor strikes, which they consider circumstances out of their control. However, if your flight is delayed due to mistakes on the airline’s part, you are entitled to compensation that increases as the delay stretches on.  If your flight is cancelled, many US airlines will only provide a re-booked flight or a full refund. Some, however, will offer special vouchers and perks as well. You can even do this while waiting in line to talk to a service rep or agent at the airport. Often, you will be able to reach the airline before you make it through the line, whether by calling or by reaching out to the airline over social media.  When using social media, make sure to use a polite tone and maybe a bit of humor to make your point. Airlines may vary on responsiveness when contacted through social media. American Airlines is known for being helpful, while Delta and United are often not. Make sure to ask the service rep if it will affect your connecting flight, if you have one. You should also ask how the change will affect your baggage. This information will help you plan how to best deal with the delay or cancellation.   If the schedule change interferes with your connecting flight, you'll have to re-book that as well. Airlines have different procedures regarding checked luggage when flights are delayed or cancelled. Make sure to ask a service representative about their policy. If you want to rebook your flight with this airline, their service representatives can help you find the best option. However, if you want to book a new flight with a different airline, ask for a refund instead and either contact your travel insurance...

Since there is no cure for genital herpes, treating it with antiviral medications can help heal outbreaks sooner and lessen the severity of recurrences. It may also minimize the chance of transmitting the virus to other people.  It’s important to get a diagnosis and start treatment as soon as you have symptoms of genital herpes, which may lessen the severity of the virus in the long term.  Common medications for genital herpes are Acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex).  Your doctor may advise taking medication only if you have symptoms or an actual outbreak, or she may recommend daily use even if no signs of an outbreak are present. An important part of living with genital herpes is communicating with your partner or partners about the virus. It’s the kind and responsible thing to do and may help avoid problems later.  Do not blame your partner for anything. Remember that herpes can remain dormant in your body for years so it can be difficult to tell who infected you.  Talk to your partner about having the disease and the best ways you can minimize the chances of infecting him or having further outbreaks. Whether the disease is dormant or you are having an outbreak of lesions, you need to take steps to prevent your partner from contracting genital herpes. There are several way to minimize the risk of transmitting the disease to you or your partner.  Herpes is incredibly common. Have your partner tested for it, because they may already have it as well, and if so, you don't need to worry that you are going to pass it on. Abstain from sex if either you or your partner have an outbreak of genital herpes.  Use latex condoms with every time you have sex.  If you’re pregnant and have genital herpes, make sure to let your doctor know so that you don’t transmit it to your unborn child. Even though sexual politics have progressed, there are often still social stigmas attached to genital herpes. These stigmas can cause you shame, stress, anxiety, or depression. Addressing the negative...

Since there’s drinking involved in this version of the game, all of the players need to be of legal drinking age. You can have as many players as you want, but if you have more than 10, break the large group into multiple groups of fewer players. It’s up to each individual player what they want to drink. But to make the game more fair, everyone should have about the same amount in their cups. You can play with beer, wine, or mixed drinks. You can also play the drinking version of the game using shots of alcohol. Every time someone has done the thing the player says, they have to take a shot. You’ll have to refill the shots as you go. Someone can volunteer to go first, or you can choose someone playing rock, paper, scissors. In the drinking version of the game, the things players say tend to be a little more risqué. The first player says “Never have I ever...” and then follows it with something they’ve never done. Try coming up with things you’ve never done, but that you know other people playing have. This ensures you don’t have to drink but they do, and can get players out of the game quicker. If you’ve done what the first player has said they haven’t, you have to take a drink of your drink. To make it fair, you can time it so all the players have to drink for the same amount of time. About 3 seconds is usually enough time. The next player - the player to the immediate left of the first player - takes their turn. They say something they’ve never done, using the “Never have I ever...” construction. The players who have done that thing drink, the ones who have not don’t drink. If the player can’t get anyone to drink – meaning the player is the only person who’s done the thing they said – the player has to drink. The game ends when only person has any of their drink left. That person wins the game. You can repeat the game as many times as you like.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отберите хотя бы 5 игроков. Необходимо убедиться в том, что в среднем все игроки пьют примерно одинаково. Первый игрок говорит, чего он никогда не делал. Игроки, которые уже делали то, о чем сказал первый игрок (ведущий) — пьют. Затем очередь следующего игрока делать свой ход. Если никто не выпил, значит, пьет сам ведущий. Играйте до того момента, когда останется только один человек, в бокале которого еще будет алкоголь.


Since there’s no easy way to spot reduce, burning total body fat will help you reduce the fat on your upper thighs. If you’re overweight, start by reducing your daily calorie intake by 250 to 500 calories per day. Cutting 500 calories a day will result in losing one pound a week (3,500 calories is one pound). But remember: That's not including the calories you'll be burning with your increased workout regimen. The  Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) recommends that adults limit their total dietary fat to 20 to 35 percent of their daily calorie intake. Since one gram of fat equals nine calories, a 2,000 calorie diet should consist of 44 to 78 grams of fat per day.  The DASH eating plan (for lowering cholesterol) recommends a daily dietary fat intake of 27 percent of total calories (60 grams of fat per day for a 2,000 calorie diet). Try to include healthy (unsaturated) fats when possible while limiting saturated fats. Foods that are high in unsaturated fat include vegetable oils, such as olive and canola oils, nuts, seeds, and avocados. Most Americans don’t consume the recommended 21 to 38 grams of fiber per day. High-fiber foods are beneficial for weight loss because they are typically low in fat and calories and high in nutrients (such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes). Fiber also helps you feel more full and satisfied, for longer periods of time. Getting plenty of fiber in your diet will help you lose weight (and body fat) at a faster pace. High-fiber foods generally require more chewing time, which gives your body time to register when you're no longer hungry, so you're less likely to overeat. And high-fiber diets also tend to be less "energy dense," which means they have fewer calories for the same volume of food.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за диетой. Сократите потребление жиров. Запаситесь клетчаткой.


Since these tests reveal personality traits, there are no "right" answers to the questions. However, your manager should be able to tell you the basic concepts you can expect to encounter on the assessment. You can ask your manager:  "Is there anything I can do to prepare for this test?" "What kind of subject matter will I be tested on?" Search for Myers-Briggs tests on the Internet and try taking a few of them. Answer the questions honestly to get the most accurate results. Taking these practice tests can help you know what kinds of questions to expect.  Personality tests are used to determine how extroverted, rational, and emotional you are, among other qualities. Employers use them to evaluate personal qualities, like whether you are introverted or extroverted.  Practice tests can help you identify traits you can work on to become better suited for the job. For example, if the job requires a lot of interaction, you can work on being more outgoing. Think about the qualities the employer says they're looking for in the job ad when answering questions. If they're looking for highly ambitious people, don't provide answers that make you sound complacent. If they're looking for someone detail-oriented, make sure your answers are consistent and meticulous. Don't be modest when answering questions about yourself, but also make sure not to misrepresent yourself either. Job assessment tests often ask similar questions several times using slightly different wording. If you provide inconsistent answers on the test, this could seem like a red flag to the employer. They might assume that you're lying or that you behave erratically. For instance, if you call yourself extroverted in one answer but then say you prefer spending time alone in another answer, this will seem inconsistent. Job assessment tests often ask questions about whether or not you're honest, trusting, and optimistic. If you make yourself sound like a negative or untruthful person, employers will most likely lose interest in you. For instance, job...

Since they are not common plants, local gardening stores may not carry moringa seeds. Many retailers online offer the seeds for sale in large quantities. Purchase a number of seeds that is right for you. If you have leftovers, a moringa seed may be eaten once the outer shell is removed. Chew the seed thoroughly. Moringas need a well-draining potting mixture, otherwise, the seeds will become waterlogged. Mixing potting soil with sand and compost will create a nutritious and well-drained mix for your new moringa seeds. Use more or less sand and compost depending on the soil you use. Moringas cannot survive the winter if it drops below 32 °F (0 °C), so keep moringas in pots to transport them inside and outside easily. If your climate does not drop below freezing, you can plant moringas directly outside in a similar soil mixture.  If you’re planting seeds, remove the shell and plant them 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart. Use your finger to push holes into the potting mixture.   If you’re planting a cutting, expose the nodes of a cutting and push it ⅓ of the way into a 15 US gal (57 L) pot. Pack the dirt tightly with your hands so that the cutting is able to stand on its own and so the potting mixture is firm around it.

Since this greenhouse is modular and the size is completely up to you, the number and lengths of the necessary pipes will vary to a certain degree. You will need to measure the dimensions that you want and determine the amount of pipe that you need from that.   Try to break up the larger structure into 2’ sections. This will give your greenhouse greater stability and strength. Use relatively thin PVC pipe, no more than 1.5” wide. A good size to use would be closer to ¾”. Also, be sure that your joints and PVC pipe are sized so that they will fit together. This should be labeled, but you can test in the hardware store to be sure or you can ask a hardware store employee for help and advice. You will form the base and the walls together, out of connected sections of pipe. Begin by connecting vertical pipe sections at two foot intervals to horizontal pipe sections with T pipe joints. Form corners in the horizontal bottom section by attaching a T joint to an elbow joint with a very small section of pipe. When you are done, you should have a horizontal rectangle or square base with posts coming up from the T joints at regular intervals. The corner posts should come from the the last T joint on the long sides, with the elbow joints and short side of the base protruding out from the “wall”. Next, you will need to connect the wall pipes to the roof pipes and form a roof. It is important that the roof not be flat across, as this will diminish the amount of light which can get through, as well as cause rain and snow to build up on top of your structure.  Form the central roof structure by creating a line of PVC pipe identical to one long side of the base. The pieces should be connected with four-way joints at the same intervals as your wall posts, except for the ends which will be capped in T joints. From the T joints and four-way joints, place short sections of pipe and cap them in 45° joints. Next, place 45° joints at the top of each of your wall posts. After that you will need to measure how much pipe you need to...

Since this method requires to copy file to system directory (which is not possible without root access), you will need to have root access on your phone. Gaining root access is referred to as "rooting" your phone. The process varies from device to device, but this guide will let you know how for the majority of Android devices. Note: A Java emulator will not let you view websites built with Java, it will only let you run JAR files. If you want to view websites built with Java, see the next section. There are several different Java emulators available, all with strengths and weaknesses. Different emulators will work better for different devices, so it's recommended that you download a couple different emulators. These emulators are not available on the Google Play Store; the APK files will need to be downloaded from the developers' website. Some of the more popular emulators include:  phoneME JBED JBlend Netmite Download the "phoneMe Feature" APK file from the developer's website. You will also need to download the OpenIntents File Manager APK. Copy both APK files to the root directory of your Android device.  Run the APK files to install them onto your device. Download JADGen on your computer, and then use it to create a JAD file for any JAR files you want to run. Copy both the JAR and JAD files into the same folder on your device. Make sure that the JAR file doesn't have any spaces in the filename. Run the file by using phoneMe and selecting the file on your device. Download the JBED archive file and unzip it on your computer. Copy the APK file to the root directory on your phone, and use ADB to push the libjbedvm.so to the /system/lib directory. Run the APK file to install it on your device.  You can push the libjbedvm.so file by using ADB and entering adb push /filelocation/libjbedvm.so /system/lib. Copy any JAR files you want to run to their own directory on your phone. Launch JBED and tap the "Menu" button. Navigate to the location of your JAR files and then select the JAR file you want to run. Download...

Since this recipe has so few ingredients, it's important to use the best quality available to you. Avoid off-brand jugs of white vinegar and opt for something quality in a glass bottle. Make sure it's white vinegar that's been distilled. Choose peppers that are bright red and evenly colored. Avoid gnarled and blemished peppers. If your local market doesn't sell tabasco chili peppers, or if you grow other kinds of hot peppers yourself, you can experiment with any of those.  If you're experimenting with different peppers, choose spicy varieties. Ideally, they should be red, but you can experiment with color, too. Good alternative hot peppers candidates are serrano, habanero, and cayenne varieties. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to put on a pair of disposable gloves before you begin. The pepper juice is very strong and can sting your skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the peppers, as well. Avoid touching your eyes and face while handing the peppers. Wash the peppers thoroughly with cold water to remove any dirt or debris. To remove the stems, simply cut off the top of the pepper, including the stem, with a sharp knife. Place all of the peppers, with the stems removed, into a food processor or blender. Turn the machine on and process them until they are roughly chopped. If you don't have either of those appliances, you can chop them roughly by hand.

Since this will form the muzzle, try to make sure the piece of fabric is uniform in color. Note that, since the outermost edges will be covered, you do not have to make them perfect. Make sure no raw edges are visible along the bottom, but leave the top open for now. You may want to refer to existing images of sock monkeys as to how this should look. The best sock monkeys seem to have a muzzle that puffs out at nearly a 90º angle. The muzzle should take up a large amount of the area for the head -- don't worry about needing space for the rest of his features.  Go ahead, give your monkey a mouth! Along the toe line of the muzzle (which should be dead center) branch stitch in a contrasting color of thread.  If you'd like nostrils, simply embroider two small rectangles above the mouth about 1" (2.5 cm) apart. Stitch the completed ears to the sides of the head. They should be in line with where the eyes will be, just above the muzzle. Make sure they stick out from the front! To give your monkey whites on the outside of his eyes, glue or sew the buttons onto a bit of white felt. Then, with thread of a contrasting color, sew on the felt just above the muzzle. You now have an adorable sock monkey! For a non-demonic looking monkey, stick to black buttons. The size you need depends on the size of your monkey. And if you're giving it to a child, either avoid the buttons entirely or make sure they're sewn on really well !

Since tonsil stones often form after leftover food gets stuck in tonsil craters, it's prudent to gargle with mouthwash after eating. Not only will mouthwash improve the health of your teeth and gums, it will also help dislodge tiny bits of food before they become a meal for tonsil stone-creating bacteria. Make sure to use an alcohol-free mouthwash. Mix one teaspoon of salt along with six ounces of water, stirring until incorporated. Gargle the salt water with your head tilted back. Salt water could dislodge bits of food from the crater while helping to soothe any discomfort caused by tonsillitis, which sometimes accompanies tonsil stones. Oxygenating mouthwashes contain chlorine dioxide and natural zinc compounds. Oxygen itself hinders bacterial growth, making oxygenating mouthwashes helpful for treating and preventing tonsil stones. Oxygenating mouthwashes are very strong, however, and therefore should only be used once or twice per week to avoid overuse. Supplement your natural mouthwash regimen with oxygenating mouthwash.

Since uric acid is produced from the metabolism of purine in the body, it is best to avoid foods that contain purine. Purine-rich foods are mackerel, anchovies, organ meats, dried beans, peas, canned goods, instant noodles, wine, and beer. Foods rich in fructose consume a lot of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, when metabolized.  This ATP is an energy-supplying molecule that the cells in your body use. Large consumption of ATP leads to its depletion, and results in the generation of substances such as lactic acid and uric acid. Foods to avoid are apples, bananas, grapes, pears, agave, melons, asparagus, beans, broccoli, cabbage, onion, tomato, peanuts, raisins, figs, carbonated drinks, fruit drinks, ketchup, canned goods, chocolate, pastries, and breakfast cereals. Increasing your daily intake of fluid helps dilute your urine, decreasing your body's acid level and eliminating toxins from your body.  Increasing your intake of water increases your urine output. The more urine output is increased, the more uric acid will be flushed out of your body through urination. Drink at least 10 or more glasses of water daily. Alcohol interferes with the removal of uric acid from the body in a variety of ways, such as:  When alcohol is converted to lactic acid, it minimizes the amount of uric acid that is eliminated from the body through the kidneys. This is because the lactic acid competes with the uric acid for removal from the kidneys into the urine. Alcohol increases your body's levels of ethanol (alcohol), increasing your body's production of uric acid. Dietary fiber may aid your body's absorption of uric acid in your bloodstream, allowing it to be removed by your kidneys.  Include at least one high-fiber food in each major meal or snack. Some good high-fiber foods are pineapple, oats, isabgol, cucumbers, oranges, barley, carrots, and celery. Anthocyanins prevents crystallization of the uric acid and uric acid deposit in your joints.  Foods rich in anthocyanins are eggplant, blueberries, cranberries, plums, black...

Since viral conjunctivitis is not curable, it can recur after initial treatment. These flare-ups are often caused by stress. Therefore, you should identify and remove potential stressors in your cat’s environment. For example, keep your cat’s daily routine as steady as possible.  If you have multiple cats, make sure each cat has her own ‘supplies’ (e.g., food and water bowls, toys, litter box) to reduce bullying or fighting between cats. Your cat may also feel stressed if she becomes bored. Provide her with plenty of toys and rotate them on a regular basis. Puzzle toys are especially useful for keeping a cat busy and entertained. Herpesvirus requires an amino acid called arginine to replicate. However, when the amino acid lysine is present, the virus will take up lysine instead of arginine, which will stop the virus from replicating. Your veterinarian can recommend a specific oral lysine supplement for your cat. Lysine can be used as a lifelong management option for feline herpesvirus conjunctivitis. The severity of a herpesvirus conjunctivitis flare-up can be reduced with ocular (not injectable) vaccination. The vaccination works by strengthening the immune system and making the flare-up more bearable for your cat. Discuss this vaccination option with your veterinarian. If your cat’s allergies caused her conjunctivitis, then you should reduce her to exposure to the offending allergen as much as possible. For example, if she is allergic to dust, you will need to dust your home more frequently. If she is an outdoor cat, you may need to keep her indoors and away from outdoor allergens like pollen. If your cat's eyes became irritated when you used certain household cleaners, try keeping your cat away from the area where you are cleaning. If your cat’s eyes start to look swollen and red, and you see colored discharge (e.g., green, yellow) coming from her eyes, your cat is likely experiencing a conjunctivitis flare-up. Other signs of a flare-up include increased tear production, squinting, and sensitivity to...

Since viruses enter the body when the immune system is weak, you should take steps to strengthen your immune system so that the body does not become vulnerable. One easy way to do this is to increase your intake of vitamin C.  Vitamin C is available in tablet, capsule, effervescent and syrup form. You should take 500 mg of vitamin C every day to boost your immune system and protect the body against immune system deficiencies. Vitamin C can also come from other foods and beverages such as cantaloupe, orange juice, broccoli, red cabbage, green pepper, red pepper, kiwi and tomato juice. Studies have shown that eating probiotic yogurt can help to prevent the recurrence of stomach flu. Having a cup of yogurt a day can keep your stomach healthy.  Yogurt contains good bacteria known as probiotics. These good bacteria combat bad bacteria in the stomach. Yogurt also helps to repopulate the good bacteria in the stomach. Yogurt is produced by adding bacteria cultures to milk. When this is done it transforms the milk’s sugar into lactic acid. Another way to strengthen the immune system is by drinking sufficient amounts of water.  It is recommended that a person drinks at least 8 glasses of water every day, as water helps to cleanse and hydrate the body which is good for the immune system. These 8 glasses of water should not include other liquids such as coffee, soda, alcohol or tea. Mushrooms are also known to strengthen the immune system, as mushrooms increase the number of white blood cells in the body. These white blood cells fight against the microbes that cause infection.  There are many different types of mushrooms that can be used. Shitake, maitake and reishi are among the most popular mushroom types that have a positive effect on the immune system. Eating at least ¼ ounce to 1 ounce of mushrooms a day can strengthen the immune system. You can prepare the mushrooms by adding them to a pasta sauce or sautéing them in oil. Carotenoids (which are a derivative of vitamin A) enhance the activity of immune system’s cell...
