The water will soak down into the shaft, causing rust or rot. It could also cause the glue holding the bristles to loosen. It is safe to store brushes upright once they are completely dry. The intense heat from the hairdryer or flatiron will ruin the fibers—even if the fibers are natural, such as sable or camelhair. The brushes are a makeup brush are mush more fragile than the hair on your head. If you dry your brushes in an enclosed area, such as the bathroom, the bristles may not get enough air-flow, which might cause mildew. This will result in musty-smelling bristles. Ew! When your brushes are dry, store them either upright in a cup, or lay them down on their side. Do not store them pointing down, or the bristles will get crooked. If you want to carry your brushes in a bag, store them flat in a brush case or bag dedicated to your brushes. Before you set your makeup brush out to dry, or even between washes, disinfect your brush with a vinegar-water solution. Don't worry, the strong, vinegar smell will disappear once the bristles dry. Fill a small bowl or cup with two parts water and one part vinegar. Swirl your brush in the solution, but avoid wetting the part where the bristles meet the handle. Rinse the brush with clean water and set it out to dry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не ставьте кисти сушиться в вертикальном положении. Не используйте фен и утюжок для волос, чтобы высушить кисть. Сушите кисти в хорошо проветриваемом месте. Храните кисточки надлежащим образом. Подумайте о дезинфекции кисточек.


The wattage is often printed directly on the bulb as a number followed by a W. If you don't see it there, check the packaging the bulb was sold in. The watt is a unit of power, measuring the energy the bulb uses each second. Ignore phrases like "100-watt equivalent," which are used to compare brightness. You want the actual number of watts the bulb uses. This converts the number from watts to kilowatts. An easy way to divide by one thousand is to move the decimal point three places to the left.   Example 1: A typical incandescent bulb draws 60 watts of power, or 60 / 1000 = 0.06 kilowatts.  Example 2: A typical fluorescent bulb uses 15 watts, or 15 / 1000 = 0.015 kW. This bulb only uses ¼ as much power as the bulb in example 1, since 15 / 60 = ¼. To calculate your utility bill, you'll need to know how much you use your bulb. Assuming you receive monthly utility bills, count up the number of hours the bulb is on in a typical month.   Example 1: Your 0.06 kW bulb is turned on for 6 hours a day, every day. In a 30-day month, that's a total of (30 days/month * 6 hrs/day) = 180 hours per month.  Example 2: Your 0.015 kW fluorescent bulb is on for 3.5 hours a day, 2 days a week. In one month, it will be on for roughly (3.5 hours/day * 2 days/wk * 4 wks/month) = 28 hours per month. Your energy company charges you for each "kilowatt-hour" (kWh), or each kilowatt of power in use for one hour. To find the kilowatt-hours your light bulb consumes per month, multiply the kilowatt use by the number of hours it's on each month.   Example 1: The incandescent bulb uses 0.06 kW of power and is on for 180 hours a month. Its energy usage is (0.06 kW * 180 hours/month) = 10.8 kilowatt-hours per month.  Example 2: The fluorescent bulb uses 0.015 kW and is on for 28 hours a month. Its energy usage is (0.015 kW * 28 hours/month) = 0.42 kilowatt-hours per month.

The wax paper will keep the donuts from freezing together. So, if you just want one donut, you can easily pull them apart without having to defrost the whole container. Powdered and plain donuts will freeze the best. Glazes and icings tend to melt and become tacky when defrosted. The freezer bag will help prevent any ice from forming on the inside of the container, or on the donuts. If properly stored, the donuts will remain fresh in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. The donuts will be safe to eat for a few weeks beyond that time, but just won't be as fresh. Do not cover the donuts to defrost them. Covering the donuts will only trap the moisture and make your donuts soggy. The microwave will not only defrost the donuts, but will also put moisture back into the donuts.

TL;DR in Russian:

The way he talks to you can say a lot about his real feelings for you. The next time you hang out, pay attention to his tone and the level of attention he gives you when you speak. Here are some ways to see if he likes you just based on how you talk to each other:  See if he makes eye contact. Is he giving you his full attention, or looking around the room for something better to do? Is he breaking eye contact occasionally but smiling because he feels shy around you?  See if he's giving you his full attention when he talks to you. Is he checking his phone and stopping to talk to other people? If so, then he may not be trying to impress you. But if he talks to you like you're the only person in the world, then he may have a big crush on you. See if he tries to impress you. Does he tell stories that make him look strong, funny, or adventurous? If so, then he probably wants to catch your eye. See if he talks more softly when he’s around you. This may be his way of telling you to lean in to get closer. If the guy has you firmly planted in his friend zone, then he'll talk to you differently than he would if he was trying to impress you and make you see him as more than a friend. You should pay attention not only to how he talks to you, but to what he chooses to talk about.  See if he reveals personal information. If he's opening up to you about trouble with his friends or family, then he values your opinion and likes you. But if he's opening up to you about a new girl he likes, then you may have a problem. See if he mentions his childhood. This is pretty private for most guys, and if he opens up about it, then he’s definitely trying to get closer to you. See if he compliments you. If he tells you that you look nice, or finds subtle ways to let you know you're interesting or funny, then he may be falling for you. See if he teases you. If he feels comfortable enough around you to tease you, then he might like you. See if he tries to be more refined around you. If you notice him burping, cursing, and being generally...

The way that you respond to your parents demonstrates how much you truly respect them.  It's important that you speak to them in a respectful manner. It helps to use phrases like “yes, ma'am,” “no, sir,” “please,” and “may I” when addressing your parents, as well as using a respectful tone.   Avoid screaming and yelling at your parents, even if you feel like they don't hear you. Don't make demands to your parents.  Remember they are not obligated to do what you want them to do. The slang that you use when you address your friends is not the same language you should use when you address your parents.  So, terms like “dude” or “chick” and “girlie” should not be used with your parents. Whenever you're ending a phone call with your parents, make sure that you say “goodbye.”  Never just hang up without saying anything. Being able to communicate effectively and authentically with your parents shows that you respect them.  Whether you need help or advice, need permission to do something, or you need to share some bad news that may disappoint your parents, it's important to start the conversation.  Determining what you want to achieve from the conversation can help you stay focused on what's important.  Maybe you are unclear about your parents expectations of you.  Don't be afraid to ask them, and be willing to listen without interrupting. If you simply need to tell them about something that's bothering you, and you don't necessarily want their advice, make sure that you communicate that in the beginning. When your parents notice that something is bothering and they ask you, be honest and tell them exactly what's wrong.  Don't deny it; it will only fester inside of you. Whenever your parents enter a room or you're seeing them for the first time that day, be sure to greet them.  You should never give your parents the silent treatment, even when you're upset. When you are entertaining friends at your house, you will need to make sure that your friends also acknowledge your parents by formally greeting them. If you're...

TL;DR in Russian:

The way the tooth extraction is performed has a big impact on whether or not dry sockets occur. Educate yourself on the procedure and talk to your surgeon about what to expect. Make sure you are provided with the information you need to ensure everything goes smoothly. You can expect the following preventative treatments from your surgeon:  Your oral surgeon will provide you with mouthwashes and gels designed to help the socket heal properly. The surgeon will also dress your wound with antiseptic solutions and gauze to protect it when the surgery is over. Certain prescription and over-the-counter medications can inhibit blood clotting, which can prevent the protective scab from forming over your empty sockets.  Oral contraceptives put women at greater risk of developing dry sockets. If you are a woman taking oral contraceptives, it can help to schedule the extraction to take place during days 23 to 28 of your cycle, when your estrogen levels are low. Smoking, as well as chewing tobacco or using other tobacco products, can interfere with the healing process of your socket. Consider using a nicotine patch or other substitute for a few days, since inhaling smoke can greatly increase your chances for getting dry sockets.

The way to get out of class with the most likely consequences but the least amount of effort and planning on your part is simply to skip. During passing period (in between class periods), just leave school, if you want to skip the rest of the day, or head to the bathroom to hide out, or just wander the hallways for the rest of the class period until that class is over, then go to your next like nothing happened. Hide from prowling teachers! If you're in elementary school and never have a passing period, you'll need to do a bit more planning since you'll probably need a parent to come to get you and won't be able to just skip. Go on to the next step for other tips. Tried and true, but probably the most reliable way of getting out of class is with an illness. A good actor can pull off a convincing sickness that no teacher or administrator will try to question. It's usually in their best interest to just go with it and let you leave, as long as you do it right.  When you walk into class, really start laying it on thick. Have a deeply frowning face, and move slowly, your head down as if you had a headache. Hold your head in your hands and wait a few minutes to approach the teacher. Ask to go to the nurse. You can either actually go to the nurse and just nap for the rest of the hour, try to get sent home, or just skip going to the nurse and wander until class is over. It's important to be a good actor. If you come into class grinning and joking with your buddies, the teacher won't believe you if thirty seconds later you're suffering from the black plague. While this might be more common or effective in something like gym class, if you can fake a sprain or another type of non-serious injury, you could potentially even get a friend out of class to help walk you down to the nurse's station. It's a pretty decent way to get out of class, again, if you're a good actor.  Usually the best way of doing this is to not try to fake an injury by falling or doing something else ridiculous in class, but come in selling the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Самый быстрый и простой способ прогулять урок – просто не пойти на него. Притворитесь больным. Притворитесь травмированным. Пойдите в уборную и не возвращаются. Не попадитесь на глаза учителям или членам школьной администрации, если вы решили побродить по школе или школьному двору. Дождитесь момента, когда учитель отметит присутствующих учеников. Если вы прогуляете несколько уроков в день, член школьной администрации, скорее всего, позвонит вам домой.


The way you handle your hair makes a big difference in its texture and appearance. When you're rough with your hair, it can frizz up and start looking dull. Hair is a fragile material that should be handled with care, just like a delicate piece of fabric. Here's what to keep in mind:  When you shampoo your hair don't roughly scrub it. Massage the shampoo into your hair and distribute it with your fingers. Rinse your conditioner in the coldest water you can stand. The cold temperature seals the cuticle and helps your hair look shiny, while hot water will cause it to frizz up and look dull. Gently squeeze the water from your hair and pat it dry with a towel instead of twisting and wringing it out. Shampooing your hair every single day causes it to dry out and become brittle. The natural oil your scalp produces to nourish your hair gets rinsed away before it can do its job. If you want your hair to stay healthy and shiny, you only really need to wash it once or twice a week, depending on your hair type.  When you first cut back on how often you wash your hair, you may notice it looking oilier than normal. Your scalp is producing oil on overdrive since it's used to everyday washings. After a week or two things will balance out and your hair will look cleaner, longer. On days in between washings, when you need to perk up your hair,  try dry shampoo. It's a powder you sprinkle, or an aerosol you spray, on your hair to absorb the oil, and it works like a charm. The best way to keep your hair healthy is to let it dry naturally instead of using a hair dryer. The heat from the hair dryer damages the hair shaft, and if you do it every day you'll definitely see damage over time. Put that hair dryer away and let your hair dry the natural way.  The same goes for other heat styling tools, like curling irons, straightening irons, and hot rollers. On days when you do want to use a hair dryer or other styling tools, apply a heat protectant serum to your hair so it doesn't get quite as damaged. Running a plastic-bristled brush...

Позвольте волосам высохнуть естественным путем, без применения фена и подобных инструментов. Расчесывайте волосы гребнем, вместо того, чтобы использовать щетку. Не используйте процедуры, которые могут нанести вред вашим волосам. Делайте щадящие прически.


The way you present the data is completely up to you, but there are some guidelines to help you decide the best way to show it to readers. Tables are used to present the raw data of the experiment while figures are used to illustrate comparisons. If the data can easily be stated in 1-2 sentences, there is no need for a figure or a table.  Tables are frequently used to provide information about the makeup of a study group or the concentrations used within a study. Figures are used to compare the experimental results of the different groups in a visual way. When presenting data in a table, you must align any decimal points in numbers. Tables include short self-explanatory titles and brief legends to explain acronyms.  Don’t include tables if they are not referenced in the text. You can add these tables to an appendix if absolutely necessary. Position the legend directly above the table. When constructing a figure, avoid adding too many datasets to one graph. This will look cluttered and will be difficult for the reader to understand. You may need to split the data into multiple graphs. This does not change the way the data is analyzed or interpreted, it just makes it easier to see.  Avoid adding more than 3-4 datasets per graph. Label all axes properly and use the appropriate scales. When using microscope images or photographs of specimens, a scale bar must be included so the reader understands the size of what they are looking at. Make the scale bar clear, the font size easily readable, and include it in the corner of the image. If the image is dark, make the scale bar white. If the image is light, make the scale bar a contrasting dark. If the reader can’t see the scale bar, it is not useful. If the paper is for a course, this step doesn’t necessarily apply. If you are submitting to a journal, there are substantial fees associated with color images, so avoid using colored figures if you can use line styles or patterned graphs instead. If you do use color, use complementary mute colors that don’t scream off the...

The way your game looks should match the type of game that you're making. Peppy, colorful graphics, for example, can ruin a game meant to have a serious tone. You also want to avoid pixel like 8-bit style if making a game that is meant to come across as modern. Charming visuals are an important part of making a game. Bad ones can kill a players enjoyment of the game. Read up on some color theory and, as with most things, remember that when in doubt: take the simple route. You can play on cliches to help make your game easier to navigate and play. Use commonly accepted icons and visual cues to keep your player immersed in the world. You can also use visuals to lead your players through a map, by making areas where you don't want them to go look , for example, dark and scary, but areas where you do want them to go clearly lit and interesting. Don't feel like you have to make the next Mass Effect to be a successful game maker. Visually simple games can be just as good if the game itself is good. An excellent example of this is Journey or Bastion, which had uncomplicated graphics but were both highly regarded.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте так, чтобы визуальные эффекты соответствовали игре. Выбирайте цельную, привлекательную цветовую палитру. Применяйте визуальные подсказки. Фантазируйте с графикой без ограничений.


The web address is often called a URL: an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. The URL (or web address) is a reference to a specific page or "resource" amid the vast, interconnected web of the Internet. A URL has two main parts: the protocol identifier and the resource name. The protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes.  Protocol identifier: The first part of the URL is called a protocol identifier. It indicates what protocol to use. For the URL http://example.com , the protocol identifier is http. Resource name: The second part of the URL is called a resource name. It specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. For the URL http://example.com , the resource name is example.com. You do not need to type the protocol unless you want to use a protocol other than the default. http:// is the default for most pages, but pages such as forms or logins should have https:// This means information is encrypted and prevents information from being intercepted.  Your browser may not show the protocol in the url. Check for a lock icon to signify the page is a secure https:// site. Pay attention to warnings your browser may have about the page's security certificate. In the early days of the Internet, users needed to type the protocol identifier each time they wanted to visit a specific webpage. This is no longer necessary. www. www is actually just the default sub domain for web pages, and need not be included in a url. However, sites may have subdomains other than www, such as video.google.com. Make sure you include the subdomain if it is part of the url. example.com is a domain name, followed by the second-level domain, .com. This is the minimum you usually need to reach a website. Make sure you spell everything exactly right, and make sure you are using the correct second-level domain.  Some second-level domains are reserved for specific locations or industries. For example, .ca is reserved for Canadian websites, and .gov is reserved for...

The well-known neopaganist approach to witchcraft (“Wicca”) is hardly the only one. There are several different magical traditions that can all be considered “witchcraft,” which vary substantially between one another in purpose, origin, and worldview. However, because an article that covers all (or even some) of these traditions would become ludicrously complex very quickly, this guide only focuses on the modern Wiccan tradition of witchcraft. Wicca is a modern religion, based on ideas about early west European paganism, that includes witchcraft as a core component. Wiccan witchcraft is by far the most popular and widely practiced form of witchcraft in the English-speaking world. Wiccans may belong to an organized group, such as a priesthood or coven, or they may operate independently or in loose coalitions.  Wiccan belief varies from practitioner to practitioner somewhat, but all share belief in some basic concepts: A five-element system (earth, air, fire, water, and spirit) of the world; a clear division between genders and gender roles throughout creation, most clearly embodied by dual deities, a Moon Goddess and a Horned God; and the use of ritual elements that reflect the four suits of a deck of tarot cards, namely the cup or grail, the wand, the knife and/or sword, and the pentacle. Witchcraft is only one part of being a Wiccan. Much of the religion is concerned with the acceptance and embrasure of the natural world, its cycles, and the differences between individuals. Seasonal festivals, called Sabbats, and structured religious practice are major components of Wicca. You don't absolutely have to be Wiccan to practice Wiccan witchcraft, but the two are closely tied together. Depending on who you ask, becoming initiated into Wicca is either a matter of personal will, or a matter of ceremonialized induction into a formal group or “coven.” This reflects the young age of the religion, and the considerable range of disagreements about what, exactly, it means to be a “true” Wiccan. However, it also...

The wetter your toy, the longer it will take to dry. Make sure all the excess water is gone before drying your animal on a clothesline. On a sunny day, use clothespins to hang your toy and set it to dry. The sun is a natural stain remover and sanitizer. Spot cleaning doesn’t require a lot of water, so you probably won’t need to hang out an animal that has been spot cleaned. Let your stuffed animal air dry if the weather isn’t cooperating. Simply let it sit in a protected area, away from pets and children. If your label indicates that you are able to use a dryer, place your animal in a dryer on low heat or permanent press. You may also use a hair dryer on a low setting or on cool. While heat dries the animal quickly, it can also damage the animal or mat the fur. If your dryer has a fluff air setting, use this to help maintain the fur. Add towels into your load to soften the movements of your animal. Also use dryer sheets to eliminate static electricity buildup so your little one doesn’t get shocked when first holding it. The inside takes longer than the outside to dry. Make sure the inside is dry or else mildew may grow, which can be hazardous to a child’s health. Use a dryer or hair dryer for a short period to hasten the process. The stuffing may have jostled during the drying process so reshape your animal and fluff the fur so that it looks like the original version.

TL;DR in Russian:

The wheels of cars, trucks, and other vehicles will be affixed to the axle with between four and eight lug nuts, used to center the wheel and secure it onto the vehicle. Some European cars will have lug bolts instead of nuts, though the removal process should be exactly the same.  On some cars, locking lugs are used to keep the wheels from being stolen. This is usually only necessary for one lug nut per wheel, and it should look different than the others. These require a special key to unlock require the use of a key to loosen the lock on the end of the lug nut. On some locking lug nuts you can hammer on a ⅞ 12 point socket and remove the locking lug bolt instead of using the special key. The hardest part is that you also need a vice to put the socket in to hit the locking lug nut off with a punch. A lug wrench, sometimes called a tire iron, tire tool, or a t-bar, should be provided in your vehicle's tire kit, along with a jack and a spare tire. Lug wrenches should fit the lug nuts used on your wheel assembly perfectly, and in most cases you shouldn't need other tools to remove them.  Lug wrenches can be either a straight bar or two crossed bars, which is sometimes called a “spider wrench.” The crossed bars give you extra strength, because you can grab onto either side with your hands and twist with all your arm strength. If your lug nuts are stuck on because of rust, over-tightening, or some other factor, read the next section for tips on loosening especially tenacious lug nuts. Don't jack up the car before you attempt to loosen lug nuts. Instead, use the resistance created by the tire's contact with the ground to help you loosen the nuts. They won't spin if they're on the ground, which means you'll be able to remove them much more easily.

The whole grunge persona is built on a sense of ambivalence towards society, consumerism, and conformity. The clothes are worn, large, and comfortable because you don't care about many things anymore. Don't rush around and stress about anything. A grunge girl is content to just sit around and listen to some good music. She is not typically high strung or obsessive. She lets things happen as they happen without much though or care. Now that you have the look, you need to adopt the attitude. Although grunge girls don't care, they get an attitude with people when they try to make them conform or join things. Don't listen when people tell you to do something. Just tell them you want to sit and listen to your music all day long. Do what you have to do in life, but get an attitude with others when they interact with you.  The way Courtney Love, Liv Tyler, and Drew Barrymore acted in the 90s provide perfect examples for the grunge attitude. Their lack of respect for authority and snarky attitude led them to constant trouble and even some arrests. This doesn't apply to your grunge friends. They understand your carelessness and apathy for the world, which means you don't have to get an attitude with them to get your point across. Grunge would not be a way of life if it wasn't for grunge music. While Nirvana popularized grunge music, there are many other grunge bands that you should become familiar with. Research who were the seminal bands of the era and familiarize yourself with their music. Go to your local CD store and look through their rock collection.  While there were many grunge bands in the 90s, some of the most influential were bands such as Hole, Green Magnet School, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Garbage, Rage Against the Machine, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, 7 Year Bitch, Fastbacks, Temple of the Dog, Mad Season, Cat Butt, Veruca Salt, Skin Yard, Mother Love Bone, Tad, The Gits, Bush, Seven Mary 3, L7, Screaming Trees, Green River, The Melvins, Mudhoney, and Stone Temple Pilots. Newer bands are still in...

The whole point of a verbal bully’s attacks is to unsettle you, so don’t give them the satisfaction. Stay calm, cool and collected despite any taunts or insults. To do this, it may help to  breathe deeply, count silently, or mentally repeat an affirmation, such as “I will remain calm.” Ignoring the person is an option. An even more powerful response, however, is to make it clear to the person that the remark doesn’t bother you. Make eye contact with the person, then shake your head in dismissal and look away. Most verbal bullying is carried out because the person hopes to offend you. If you can see any truth to their comment, throw the attacker off balance by agreeing with them. When you accept the statement, it loses its power and the attacker loses relevance. For example, someone says “You’re fat,” you might say “You’re right. I am fat." Avoid becoming defensive with the person. Instead, put the attacker in the hot seat by pulling apart their remark. Analyze the remark and ask questions about it.  For example, someone says, “You’re stupid.” You might respond with “Wow, stupid is such a strong word. Is there a reason you’re trying to insult me?”  However, if the bullying behavior is out of control or you feel unsafe, do not have any contact with the attacker. Just walk away. If you witness someone else being verbally attacked, help defend them by bringing the attacker's common decency into question. In response to their "bad parent" role, play the role of the overly kind parent.  For instance, if the attacker calls your friend a name, you might say, "Carl, name-calling doesn't look good on you. Show everyone that there's a decent human being under there somewhere." They'll likely feel shamed by their behavior and apologize.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Не придавайте нападкам большого значения. Согласитесь с ним, если это правда. Разгромите атаку. Сыграйте роль хорошего родителя.


The wider the distance between threads on the screw, the better. Make sure that any objects which come into contact with the cork are clean as dirty objects increase the likelihood of tainting your wine. Simply replace the pliers with the corncob holder, making a T shape. The screw should be vertical and the corncob holder should be horizontal. Place the corncob holder where the prongs are hugging the screw. Place your index and middle fingers on the prongs and handle respectively, and pull up. Make sure the corncob holder is thinner than the flat end of a small to medium threaded screw.

The wider you make the armholes, the more of your body will be visible from the side. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider how large you want to make your armholes. Try a small cut and see how it looks on you before cutting too far down. You can always cut more, but you cannot put the fabric back after you cut it. For example, if you cut your armholes down to the middle of the shirt, then your ribs and the side of your abs will be visible. Don’t cut down too far if you are not comfortable showing off these muscles. You can simply cut around the neckline to widen it a little, or cut way outside of the neckline to widen it a lot. If you prefer a deep v-neck shirt, then you can also cut a V shape out of the front of the shirt. Try cutting close to the neckline and see how that looks first. The more of the neckline you cut, the more of your chest, back, and shoulders will be visible. Trimming off the hem is more for a uniform appearance than anything else, but cutting off the hem can shorten the length of the shirt by a little or a lot. Try cutting off the hem close to the seam at first to give the bottom of the shirt the same curved appearance as the arm holes. Then, give the hem a gentle tug to curl it up like the sleeves. If desired, you can trim the hem more to make it shorter.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте прорези для рук побольше. Вырежьте линию горловины. Подрубите футболку по кромке.


The windshield wiper lever is a long lever, straight or angled, located to the right of the steering column.  If you have trouble locating your wiper lever, consult your vehicle maintenance guide or contact the vehicle’s manufacturer. When you pull the windshield wiper straight back and away from the steering column, two parallel streams of windshield wiper fluid should eject onto the windshield.  If your windshield wiper fluid does not come out when you pull the windshield wiper lever, or if it only comes out in a weak stream, check the level by opening your hood and locating the wiper fluid tank.  Refill it if necessary. If your windshield wipers do not work, bring your automobile to your local car repair shop and get them fitted with new wipers.  You could also try to find the right windshield wipers yourself, but make sure to check your vehicle’s maintenance guide beforehand so you get the right length. When you think the windshield has received enough wiper fluid and has been scrubbed adequately by the windshield wipers, release the lever to stop the cleaning process.  If your windshield wiper fluid leaves streaks or smears behind, consider refilling it with a different variety after exhausting the current supply.  Alternately, you might consider investing in a new pair of wipers.  Consult the staff at your local auto care shop for advice pertaining to your vehicle.  Windshield wiper blades should be changed regularly every 2 to 3 years. If there is some buildup on the wiper blade itself, try wiping the blade down with rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits.

The word "herb" should be pronounced with an H sound. The word "been" is pronounced "bean", rather than "bin" or "ben". For RP, "Again" and "renaissance" are pronounced like "a gain" and "run nay seance", with the "ai" as in "pain", not "said." The words ending in "body" are pronounced as written, like "any body", not "any buddy." But use a British short O sound. The "H" is pronounced in the word "herb," in contrast erb. However, in many British accents, the H at the beginning of a word is often omitted, such as in many Northern accents and the Cockney accent. In an American accent, this is often pronounced been. In an English accent, been is a common pronunciation, but "bin" is more often heard in casual speech where the word isn't particularly stressed. For example, the word "road" would usually be pronounced rohd, but in Wales and with some people in Northern Ireland it might be pronounced ro.ord.  Some speakers may even say "reh-uud."

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на то, что есть слова, которые пишутся и произносятся одинаково. Имейте в виду, что буква H произносится не всегда. Говорите «bean», а не «bin», когда произносите been. Обратите внимание на то, что две или более гласных, стоящие рядом, могут составить дополнительный слог.


The word "shaman" originated in the Evenki language of Siberia, where its exact meaning is unclear. From this murky beginning, anthropologists have spread the term to describe spiritual practitioners of many cultures, and the term "shamanism" has been adopted by many native Americans and other groups. There is still an incredibly wide variety in the types of traditional shamanism practiced across the world. In the 20th century, the historian Mircea Eliade and the anthropologist Michael Harner separately argued that many varieties of spiritual traditions around the world could all be defined as "shamanism," with core principles at the heart of different practices and beliefs. This directly led to many new traditions, mostly started by white Westerners, such as "core shamanism," and many types of "neoshamanism" or "New Age shamanism." Traditional shamanism, in its hundreds of different forms, is still alive today, and its practitioners (as well as scholars of religion) have a range of reactions to more recent shaman traditions. There are many sides to this discussion, and not all types of shamanism or individual shamans agree with all of these points, but you may wish to be aware of as you begin exploring shamanism:  Although it is not uncommon for shamans to charge for services, some new "shaman businesses" are often considered cynical.  Most new-style shamans use traditions from other cultures. This can be done respectfully and knowledgeably, or in an uninformed or incorrect way that many find offensive.  Western shamanism is often taught as a self-improvement technique, while many older traditions cause harm to the shaman, include "evil" or "grey area" practices, or focus on helping the community. If you decide you would like to learn more about a modern shamanism tradition, you can find many materials online or in mass-published books. Most of these are unique theories and practices developed by a single person, but a few resources listed below are examples of especially influential voices. You can also...

The word "shot" refers to a heavy ball, which contestants try to hurl as far as they can. Beginners should start with a light shot, between 4 and 8 pounds (1.8–3.6 kilograms), since this lowers the risk of injury if the wrong throwing form is used. Once you have the basic throwing technique down, and some practice under your belt, you can move on to heavier shot puts. Standard weights for competition vary depending on the age and sex of the competitors, and the nation hosting the competition. When shot putting, you must stay within the circle during the entire throw. The circle is usually painted on a slab of concrete, and is 7 feet (2.13 meters) wide for official competitions. If you step outside the circle during the throw, it is a foul and is not counted in the competition.  After throwing, the athlete must exit the circle through the back half of the ring, not the front, or the throw becomes a foul. (This avoids arguments over whether an athlete stepped over the line during the throw or afterward.) The circle usually has a "toe board" in front that will block the athlete's foot from going too far forward. You are not allowed to step on top of the toe board. After the shot lands, the distance from the front of the circle and the location of the landing is measured. However, the shot must land within the cone-shaped throwing field, or else it is a foul. The athlete whose shot lands farthest from the circle, without committing a foul, wins the round. If you need to make your own cone-shaped throwing field, set it up using two equal lengths of string at least 50 feet long each (the sides of the cone), then a third length (the end of the cone) exactly 60% as long. Measure the long sides from the center of the circle. Because the shot is so much heavier than balls in other sports, it cannot be tossed overhand or underhand without high risk of causing a pulled muscle or other injury. Always "push" the shot put out by extending your arm in one direction, without swinging it. Read the instructions below for more...

Начните с нетяжелого ядра. Встаньте внутри круга. Определите победителя. Толкайте, а не бросайте.


The word echo in te echo de menos is the first-person conjugation of the verb echar, which has a variety of meanings. Some translations of echar include "to send forth," "to send away," "to throw out," or "to place."  To say "I miss you" in Spanish using the verb echar, you'll use the first-person present form of the verb. If you wanted to say "she misses you," you would use the third-person present form of the verb, echa. The full expression of this phrase would be "te echa de menos." The third-person plural would be "te echan de menos" ("They miss you"). To say "we miss you," use the first-person plural form: "te echamos de menos." If you're going to say "te extraño," you're using the verb extrañar, which means "to miss." The way you conjugate this verb depends on who is speaking, and the tense in which they're speaking.  If you want to say that another person misses the person to whom you are speaking, you would say "te extraña," which would mean "he (or she) misses you." Note that the direct object pronoun, te, does not change. The person to whom you're speaking still is the object of the verb, but the conjugation of the verb indicates that another person is doing the missing. Perhaps you want to say that you and another person are both missing the person to whom you're speaking. You would say te extrañamos," which means "we miss you."  To say "they miss you" in Spanish, use the third-person plural conjugation of the verb: "te extrañan." When you use the phrase "me haces falta" to say "I miss you" in Spanish, you need to conjugate the verb hacer, which means "to do, make, or cause." When conjugated as haces, it means "you make" or "you cause."  The verb conjugation should agree with the pronoun for the person being missed, not the person doing the missing. For this reason, if you want to say "we miss you" using this phrase, the verb conjugation stays the same ("haces"), but the object pronoun would change: "nos faces falta."  Note that this phrase is constructed differently than the direct English...

The word immature means “not fully developed.”  By nature, the person may not understand how to respond to typical situations.  The younger the person is, the more cognition may be difficult.  Be more understanding of immaturity in younger people.  A young boy might, for instance, show immaturity by joking about boobs and penises, farting on his friends, picking his nose, and generally acting like a child. While obnoxious, this may simply be normal behavior for someone his age, and should probably just be ignored. Allow younger people space to grow up and mature before you get too angry. On the other hand, a grown person who otherwise seems mature (i.e. someone who has moved beyond fart jokes) may still lack emotional maturity — she may be inconsiderate, unable to accept blame for her mistakes, or try to make you jealous or angry on purpose. Extreme situations can sometimes trigger emotionally immature reactions, something called age regression, which can blur the lines between adult and childish emotions.  React more thoughtfully when you recognize someone is reacting maturely. There are a variety of ways to glean whether the reaction is an adult or childish/immature emotion.  A person who is emotionally immature will: be reactive; see himself as a victim; act out his emotions (intense or gut reactions, like explosive anger, sudden crying, etc.); be self-centered and concerned with self-protection; appear to always be justifying his actions to himself or others; be manipulative; be motivated by fear or a feeling that he "has to" do something," as well as a need to avoid failure, discomfort, and rejection.  A person who is showing emotional maturity will: be open to hearing others' perspectives; be proactive; be motivated by growth and act with a vision or purpose; act because he chooses to, not because he feels he must; act with integrity, meaning his actions will align with his values. People who are emotionally immature find it difficult to cope with their emotions, and often experience a learned...

The work formula provided above isn't just useful for finding work — it's also valuable for finding any of the variables in the equation when you already know your value for work. In these cases, simply isolate the variable you're looking for and solve according to basic algebra rules. For example, let's say that we know that our train is being pulled with 20 newtons of force at a diagonal angle over 5 meters (16.4 ft) of track to perform 86.6 joules of work. However, we don't know the angle of the force vector. To solve for the angle, we'll just isolate that variable and solve as follows:  86.6 = 20 × 5 × Cosine(θ) 86.6/100 = Cosine(θ) Arccos(0.866) = θ = 30o In physics, work is closely related to another type of measurement called "power". Power is simply a way of quantifying the rate at which work is spent in a certain system over time. Thus, to find power, all you need to do is divide the work used to displace an object by the time it takes to complete the displacement. Power measurements are labeled with the unit watts (which are equal to joules per second). For instance, for the example problem in the step above, let's say that it took 12 seconds for the train to move 5 meters (16.4 ft). In this case, all we need to do is divide the work done to move it 5 meters (86.6 joules) by 12 seconds to find our answer for power: 86.6/12 = '7.22 watts. Work can also be used to find the energy held within a system. In the formula above, TMEi = the initial total mechanical energy within the system, TMEf = the final total mechanical energy within the system, and Wnc = the work performed on the system due to non-conservative forces.. In this formula, if the force pushes with the direction of motion, it's positive, and if it pushes against it, it's negative. Note that both energy variables can be found with the formula (½)mv2 where m = mass and v = volume.  For instance, for the example problem in the two steps above, let's say that the train initially had a total mechanical energy of 100 joules. Since the force in the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Измените формулу, чтобы найти расстояние, силу или угол. Разделите на время, проведенное в движении, чтобы найти мощность. Используйте формулу TMEi + Wnc = TMEf, чтобы  найти механическую энергию в системе.


The work isn't over yet! Remember that a new piercing is like an open wound, so it is extremely important that you maintain a strict cleaning regimen over the next couple of months. You will need to keep this up until the piercing heals completely, in order to prevent any itching and infection. Wash the piercing with antibacterial soap once a day. Avoid rubbing alcohol, peroxide, or ointments, as these can be very drying and irritating on the skin of used everyday. A great way to keep your new piercing clean and free of infection is to use a salt solution. You can buy a saline solution at a drugstore or piercing studio, or you can simply dissolve some non-iodized sea salt in a cup of warm water.  Dip a q-tip in the solution and use it to carefully clean around both ends of the piercing. Gently push the jewelry from one side to the other in order to clean the ring as well. Whether it's a pool, a river, or a hot tub, stay away for the first few months, as the water can harbor bacteria which can easily infect your new piercing. If you see a clear or white liquid, it's healing properly. Anything with color or smell is infected and should be seen by a doctor.  Some professionals advocate a stringent care routine for up to 4-6 months. After 2 months, assess how your piercing is doing. Don't mess with it! Allow it to heal before you go changing rings. You may replace the balls, but don't touch the barbel. This will not only inflict pain but also slow the healing process. Even after it seems healed, your piercing can get infected. If you suspect an infection (signs include swelling, tenderness, bleeding or seeping) apply a warm compress to the area every three to four hours, then clean with an antiseptic cleanser and apply a topical antibacterial cream.  If you don't see an improvement within 24 hours, consult your doctor. If a doctor isn't an option, see a professional piercing artist. They will help you adjust your care routine and give you professional products. Never take the belly button ring when dealing with...

The world is a distracting place and this may not be an easy request. However, a quiet spot where you can meditate without interruption is valuable when learning to meditate to reduce stress. As you become more proficient with meditation, outside distractions will bother you less and less.  At first, many things will probably distract you. You will hear cars driving by, birds and people talking. It is best to turn off all electronic devices like cell phones and television to minimize things that could draw your attention away from your meditative task. A room with a door you can close usually works well but you can also get earplugs if needed. As you develop greater meditation skill, you will find that you can meditate anywhere—even in high-stress situations, such as traffic, work or crowded stores. Meditation can be done lying down, walking, sitting or really any position. The key is to be comfortable so that discomfort does not distract you. Some people may feel more connected in a traditional cross-legged position. This can be uncomfortable for beginners, though, so consider propping your bottom up on a pillow, sitting in a chair or using a wall to support your back. All meditation uses controlled breathing. Breathing deeply helps your body and mind relax. In fact, effective meditation can be practiced just by focusing on your breathing.  Breathe in through your nose and then out through your nose. You will want your mouth closed but relaxed while you breathe. Listen to the sound your breath makes. Use the diaphragm muscle to expand your lungs. Put your hand on your stomach. It should rise as you inhale and lower as you exhale. Breathe in and breathe out at regular intervals. Controlling your breath allows you to slow the rate of your breathing and fill your lungs with more oxygen per breath. Taking deep breaths relaxes the muscles of your upper torso, such as those in the shoulders, neck and chest. Deep diaphragm breathing is more efficient than shallow breathing with your upper chest area. Paying...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите тихое место. Выберите удобное положение. Контролируйте свое дыхание. Сосредоточьтесь на чем-то. Помолитесь. Знайте, что нет “правильного способа” медитации. Наслаждайтесь процессом.


The world is gonna do all it can to force you into the mold it wants. It's gonna tell you what's practical and what's acceptable and just dare you not to listen. Don't! Do you want to move to New York, be a go-go dancer, and eat only Ramen noodles for the rest of your life? If so, go for it. Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter, after all. Find a passion. Everyone is better with a passion. And stick to it! If the world mocks you for it, you're in the wrong group of people. You're at your best when you're happiest. Seek your passions, regardless of what others think, do, or say. Being selfish the right way is an art. It is the ability to discern when what's best for you is still what's best for the situation at hand. It's knowing when your desire of something isn't really justified versus when it means being content with your life. If you refuse to let your friend pick the movie you go to, you're being controlling and selfish. If you don't go to her dance recital because you picked up another shift at work to pay the electric bill, you're being logical. Know the difference. This isn't just with others -- this is with you, too. There will be times in your life when you can be selfish and times when you straight up shouldn't be. Do you really want to move in with this guy you met online who lives on the coast of Australia? Or should you take that opportunity to work with the Habitat for Humanity who's offering you a hefty scholarship for college? Sometimes what's best for you isn't what you want -- but will be what you want down the line. Sometimes it's best to just shut out the world for a moment and have some well-deserved me time. Sometimes it's the only remedy! Take a bit of time each day -- whether it's at home, work, or on a run -- to just do you. Destressing is important for all your daily activities. You're just improving your productivity! Try meditation, yoga, or simply go for a walk. If that's not an option, take 10 minutes at your desk to daydream. The downtime will energize...

TL;DR in Russian:

Занимайтесь тем, что делает вашу жизнь полноценной. Правильно расставляйте приоритеты. Выберите время для себя. Гордитесь своими достижениями. Любите свое тело.


The world values people who work and you'll spend a large portion of your life working, presumably. This means that you need to find something that you love, or you need to figure out a way to do your work in a manner that fulfills you.  Consider the things you're passionate about. If you're really into social justice, look into getting a law or social science degree and work for a nonprofit of some sort. If music is your thing you could start a music camp for disadvantaged children, or do music therapy for the dying. If you find yourself in a job you hate, start looking for another one. You don't have to quit right away, and it's usually a good idea to have another job lined up before you quit the first one. It's best to keep an open mind about the types of jobs you might encounter, because you never know what might be around the corner. If you're in a difficult job and you can't leave, try to to find ways to make it easier. If you have a difficult boss, irritating customers, work that is immensely boring, try to find creative solutions to these difficulties. For example: for boring work, come up with a few reasons why that work is important (you're feeding people, you're cleaning up after people, you're helping people get loans so they can have an amazing life!). Remind yourself of these reasons when the job is getting you down. . While plans change often and quickly, you should have goals set that you want to accomplish. You should also work towards these goals as best you can, despite the other things that are happening in your life.  Have a list of goals, ordered from most important to least. These goals can be things like: run a 10k marathon, and land a job at a publishing house, and make a constellation quilt for a king sized bed. Work hard towards your goals. If you want to work in publishing, don't just halfheartedly look at some job opportunities. Figure out what it would take to get that job you want. Get the degrees and experience you need, look into internships and entry level positions,...

The world would be a pretty boring place if we all looked the same. There's no point in comparing yourself to others, regardless of whether the person is a celebrity or classmate sitting next to you. Instead, compare yourself in terms of how you've progressed over time, now that you've created your own realistic goals. For example, you might think to yourself that you've improved your appearance compared to a few years ago. Don't forget to be patient and kind with yourself. Don't treat or judge yourself any more harshly than you would your friend or anyone else. It is important that you learn to accept and hopefully love your body, but it's also vital to realize that your self-worth is not defined in any sense by what you look like. When you think about the people you admire, love and/or respect the most, what qualities spring to mind? Do you value others or yourself only for the physical qualities or because of character and personality traits? Understand that nearly everyone struggles to maintain positive body image all the time and it's normal to have ups and downs. But, you should also honestly consider if you need to speak with a counselor, doctor, or mental-health professional. There are various signs that your body issues are severe and require professional help. Ask yourself the following:  Are you unable to control negative thoughts about yourself? Do you spend hours thinking about your perceived flaws? Does your unhappiness with your appearance interfere with your life? For example, do you avoid going out or speaking in public? Do you dread going to work because you're afraid of being seen and judged? Do you spend an excessive amount of time in front of the mirror each day and/or groom excessively? Are you unable to stop comparing yourself to others? Do you avoid being photographed? Understand that if you struggle with any of these, you'll most likely need help to accept your body. You may possibly have what is known as Body Dismorphic Disorder (BDD), which typically requires professional help. If...

The worst injury anyone can cause their chances of starting a relationship with their crush is by doubting themselves. When you self-doubt, it shows in the way you act and carry yourself. You won't be able to act casual if you're worried about 'what-if' situations as you close in.  Taking a deep breath is a helpful way to calm your nerves if they're acting up on you. It will take the edge off the stress, and give you a respite from the physical anxiety. Positive self-talk works as well. For example, try thinking something along these lines to yourself: "I have nothing to fear. I am worth my crush's time. Everything's going to work out just the way I want it." Keep telling yourself that until you start believing it. Whether you think it's plausible or not, positive self-talk tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the confidence you'll gain from it will have a major impact on how the interaction plays out. It's becoming more and more common for people to confess their crushes online, or via text message. Talking through a screen will work in a pinch, but it robs the conversation of its full importance. Because so many of the signs of attraction come across through body language, you'll stifle your chances by keeping it online.  Ask your crush out by saying something like "Hey-- I was thinking of going to the beach sometime this weekend. Would you be interested in coming with?" Keep it casual; admitting your feelings doesn't have to be the main point of hanging out with them. If you enjoy their company enough, it won't feel out of place to get together. A big mistake many people make when it comes to approaching their crushes is that they put too much weight on the act. If the experience of being around you is extremely serious and sombre, your crush isn't exactly going to be open to starting a relationship with you, even if he's already attracted to you.  A casual hangout could be anything from going to the mall or rock concert, to something quieter like the park or beach. Activities that limit interaction...

The worst mistake you can make is to walk into a comedy set completely cold. This sets you up for nervously laughing at your own jokes! Even the best comedians need to spend some time preparing what they are going to say.   Create a set list for yourself. Make a list of each joke you will tell. Think about transitions. How does one joke flow into the next? Is there some kind of logical progression? Keep in mind what kind of people you expect to see in the audience. Certain demographics will be more or less likely to enjoy certain types of jokes. An open mic at a church, for example, may not be the best place to try out very dirty material. Whether you’re the type of comic who follows a script or one who tends to free-style, rehearsal will always make your set better. Plus, it is the most effective way to stop yourself from laughing at your own jokes. Set aside time to run through your entire set 2-3 times before you take the stage.  The more times you rehearse your jokes, the more normalized they become, and the less likely you are to laugh. Be sure to time yourself. This way you’ll ensure that you have the right amount of material, and you can move through your set without concerning yourself with time. before taking the stage. Taking the stage cold sets you up for nervous laughter. Before you take the stage, find a way to warm yourself up, and release any “silly energy.”   Put on your favorite song and dance around making funny noises and goofy faces in the mirror. Laugh at yourself. Move your body, use your voice, and wiggle the muscles in your face. All of these actions dispel nervous energy and prepare you to tell jokes on stage effectively, without bursting into laughter. If you do a good job of making the people around you laugh, you won’t need to laugh to fill the silence. Prevent yourself from laughing at your own jokes by making other people laugh.  Use vocal variation. Don’t fall into a monotone delivery. Signal the punchline. Pause for a moment to let the audience know it’s coming. Use a...

The worst possible place to fart (other than inside a car) is inside an elevator. If you feel the need, there are ways you can reduce the problem.  Hold it until the elevator door opens.  The good part is that the elevator doors will make noise when they open and close. Secondarily, new people will come into the elevator when the door opens, and other people will go out. Thus, the new people might blame the farting on one of the people who just left the elevator (and you can blame them too without them being there to deny it). It’s often best, though, to just remain silent because there will be so many suspects no one will know whom to blame anyway. If you’re afraid the fart will be loud, wait for something naturally noisy before you let it rip.  For example, if you’re in a movie theater, wait until there’s a particularly loud sound effect on the screen. In a restaurant, wait for the clattering of dishes or the loud talking of a couple about to walk past your table. At a family event, wait for the music or someone to make a loud toast or laughter from a joke. Rather than waiting for other people to make noise, you can make noise yourself right as you are about to fart.  Cough loudly right as you are about to fart. In fact, cough several times as if you are in a coughing fit, and then reach for a glass of water. Move your chair loudly so that it rubs along the floor or makes noise. If you’re sitting on vinyl move your body so your legs create a rubbing sound on the chair. Pretend the fart is the sound of your chair squeaking.  Start singing if the occasion allows for it, start talking a lot and loudly, sneeze, or rattle a dish. If you’re worried about public flatulence, there are steps you can take to reduce gas before you go out into public.  A dash of cayenne pepper sprinkled into a glass of water is supposed to reduce gas. Ginger can help too. Eating and drinking slowly, avoiding carbonated beverages, avoiding smoking, and using antacids can also help.  Don’t chew gum. It can cause gas buildup. Avoid foods...

The worst possible position to be in if you are trying to hold your poop is to squat. Sitting isn’t as good for holding your poop in as standing or lying down is, either.  The reason for this is because squatting has long been defined by researchers as the ideal position for defecation. That’s because it applies pressure on the abdomen, encouraging release of the stool. Standing will remove some of the pressure from the abdomen. So will lying down. Even just shifting your position a bit can also help you keep the poop where you want it to stay inside your body until you have a chance to get to a toilet. If you must sit, shift your position in the chair. Pressing your buttocks against a hard area - like a metal chair bottom - might help. Basically, what you are accomplishing here is to apply pressure on the upcoming poop to keep it inside the body. Yes, it's really the best way to do it!  Clenching your butt cheeks will tense your rectum, and, thus, it helps to keep the poop inside. It’s harder to hold in poop if your muscles around your rectum are weak. If your nerves are damaged in that area, you might not even know a stool has come out. See a doctor in such cases. Basically you want to poop before you end up at the place where it will be hard to poop. It’s a good idea to do this to activate the bowels so you empty them. Think ahead!  For example, many long-distance runners face this issue. They feel like they have to poop during the race. Another way to avoid this embarrassing problem is to simply avoid foods high in fiber before the race or event because that causes the need to poop. Gas-producing foods like beans, bran, fruit and salad could also cause the need to have a bowel movement. Try to avoid eating any food within two hours of the event, though, or you will have another bowel movement. There are some studies that have linked coffee drinking to having to poop. Although this is by no means definitively proven, if you drink coffee while trying to hold in poop you will probably have to pee too.  It...

TL;DR in Russian:

Стойте, чтобы сдержаться, если вы хотите в туалет по-большому (вы также можете лечь). Максимально напрягите ягодицы. Постарайтесь сходить в туалет за несколько часов до начала мероприятия. Не пейте кофе.


The worst thing parents can do is have a temper tantrum over their child's temper tantrum.  Children need a calming influence, especially during a tantrum, and if you can’t provide that, you can’t expect them to calm down. Take a few deep breaths and wait at least a few seconds before deciding on a response. Remember that your child's tantrum is not necessarily a way to "get their way", but could be the result of frustration, lack of needed attention from you, or even a physical problem, like low blood sugar, pain or digestive problems. Maybe your child is teething, has a dirty diaper, or needs a nap. In cases like these, don’t try to negotiate with the child, but simply provide what is needed and the tantrum will subside.  It’s very common for kids to throw tantrums when they’re sleepy. A regularly-scheduled naptime can help prevent recurring tantrums if this seems to be the problem. When you’re out and about with your child, have a healthy snack available at all times, so they don’t end up throwing a tantrum out of hunger. Kids just want to be heard, and throwing a tantrum is often the best way they know how to express themselves. Taking your child seriously by asking what’s wrong and actually listening to the response can help. Hold your child and give them your full attention so they have time to explain. This is not to say that you need to give in to whatever your child wants. The point is simply to hear your child out in a respectful way, just as you would anyone else. Whether your child wants a new toy or doesn’t want to go to school, they should have the right to express that. Many parents just say “no” and “because I said so” instead of explaining the reason why, but that’s frustrating for kids. You don’t have to give a long-winded explanation, but providing a reason for your actions will help the child make sense of things and feel more in control of the situation. For example, if you’re in the grocery store and your child throws a tantrum because they want sugary cereal, remind them that they like...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Убедитесь, что у ребенка есть то, в чем он нуждается. Спросите, что не так. Вместо того чтобы просто отказывать, давайте четкие объяснения. Предложите ребенку выбор стратегий решения проблемы. Стойте на своем. Примите меры для предупреждения травм. Держите себя в руках. Что бы ни случилось, старайтесь дать ребенку понять, что его любят.


The worst thing you can do during an argument is to use hostile remarks. These are remarks that are intended to make your partner feel embarrassed, saddened, or humiliated. During an argument, you may make these types of remarks without even realizing that they are hostile and damaging to your relationship.  There are six common types of hostile remarks: character assassinations, threats of abandonment, threats of exile, invalidations, challenges, and preaching. Each weakens your partner's sense of self-esteem in its own way. Talk to your spouse about these common hostile remarks and ask them to help police your speech so you can avoid saying these things. Let your spouse know that you can do the same for them. Character assassinations are a type of hostile remark that involve making sweeping declarations about your spouse, usually that your spouse is irreparably bad or flawed. This may include name calling or labels such as "loser." It may even be a simple character evaluation, such as, "You're too much work and you're not worth it." Character assassinations don't have to be giant, degrading slurs. Often times minor character assassinations go unnoticed or uncontested, quietly causing emotional damage. Any time you make empty threats to leave or imply that you no longer have feelings for someone, you're making a threat of abandonment. This type of hostile remark makes your partner feel worthless. You may not intend to harm your spouse's sense of self-worth, especially if you say something in the heat of an argument, but it can have a lasting impact on your relationship. Examples of threats of abandonment include "I'm sick of you" and "You're more trouble than you're worth. I'm over it." A threat of exile is when you threaten to kick your spouse out of your life. This may be an offhand hostile remark, like saying, "I don't need you in my life anymore." It can also be a direct challenge, like saying, "Get back together with your ex - you don't deserve someone like me." Threats of exile weaken the stability of...

TL;DR in Russian:

The worst thing you can do in a conflict is reacting right away. If your sister hurt your feelings, pause before reacting. Take a few deep breaths and try doing something like counting to five. This will prevent you from blowing up at your sister, potentially making the situation worse. Use your words to handle conflict. Do not scream and yell, as you are not really communicating. Never resort to physical violence, as this will only make things worse. You also do not want to accidentally hurt your sister during an argument.  Let your sister know that she has hurt or upset you. Use simple language to explain the unacceptable behavior instead of getting angry in return. For example, say something like, "Ella, do not pinch me. Pinching hurts." This is more effective than yelling or pinching back. Certain topics may simply cause arguments. Maybe your sister dislikes discussing something at school. Maybe there's an issue you simply disagree on. If certain topics tend to only lead to conflict, you may be better off avoiding them. No one sees eye-to-eye on everything all the time. If you're having trouble managing an issue with your sibling, talk to a parent. Your parents want you and your sister to get along. They will be happy to mediate if the two of you are having an issue.  Do not bring it up in a negative way. You do not want your parents to think you're being argumentative or mean. Present yourself as wanting to resolve the issue rather than get your parents on your side. For example, say something like, "Dad, I'm having trouble with Sophie lately. Can you give me some advice on how to talk to her about how she read my diary?"

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, прежде чем реагировать на слова или поступок сестры. Решайте проблему с помощью слов. Избегайте тем, которые могут привести к конфликту. Поговорите с родителями.


The worst thing you can do when you revise a story is to jump into revision immediately after you've finished writing it. You need some time away from the project so that it's not so fresh in your head, and (ideally) so that you're not so attached to every detail of the story.  Give yourself at least a week or 2 between finishing the story and revising it. If possible, try to give yourself a month to really put some distance between you and your story. No matter what you decide, stick with your revision plan! Consider asking a trusted friend or relative to look at the story. Ask him/her to be honest and critical, and emphasize that you want to know what isn't working and why. Looking at a story with fresh eyes will help you see more errors that you might have missed. When the story is fresh in your head it's easy to fill in the gaps with what you know, and you may not realize that that information isn't addressed on the page. Giving yourself some time before revising will also make it easier to cut things out. You may be in love with a scene, but after setting it aside for a few weeks, you might realize that it isn't as relevant as you thought it was. What was the point of your funny story? Were you trying to highlight a real social situation? Address some aspect of human nature? Draw humor from personal situations/experiences? Whatever your intentions, it's a good idea to refresh that intention in your head before you proceed with the revision process.  By having your original intentions for the story in mind, you'll know what you had hoped to do with the story and will be able to assess whether you accomplished that goal or not. Think about whether the tone matches your intentions, as well as the overall events of the story. This is an important part of why you should approach the story after setting it aside for a period. When you've just finished writing a story, you're less likely to catch any issues that might otherwise confuse a reader. However, if you've given yourself some time, you should notice...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прежде чем приступить к редактированию, отложите работу в сторону. Напомните себе, в чем заключается ваша цель. Поясните все, что кажется непонятным. Проверьте текст на наличие ошибок.


The wrong use of an apostrophe to form the plural is called the greengrocer's apostrophe, since grocers are often the worst (or at least the most visible) offenders.  If you have more than one apple, then write apples, not apple's.  An occasional exception to this use is in the case of making a single letter plural.  Therefore, Why are there so many i's in the word "indivisibility"? is correct, depending on who you ask.  This is simply for clarity reasons, so the reader does not mistake it for the word "is."  However, in modern usage, the preference is to avoid inserting an apostrophe and instead surround the single letter in quotation marks before pluralizing it: Why are there so many "i"s in the word "indivisibility"?  Avoid the problem altogether with small numbers by spelling out the word: "ones" instead of "1's," "fours" instead of "4's" or "nines" instead of "9's." Only spell out words of numerals that are ten or lower. Say you use an acronym for a noun, like CD.  To make CD plural, use "CDs," not CD's."  The same logic goes for years — instead of writing "Spandex was popular in the 1980's," use "1980s." The only time an apostrophe should be used in a year is if it's standing in for omitted numbers.  For instance, if you wanted to shorten the year 2005, you could write '05.  In this case, the apostrophe is essentially acting like it does in a contraction and serving as shorthand.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не используйте апостроф, чтобы образовать множественное число. Знайте, как правильно использовать апострофы в случае с годами и акронимами.


The yeast needs heat to keep converting sugar to alcohol. So be sure to store the wash in a warm place or keep the room artificially heated. The airlock on the pot will let the carbon dioxide out without letting oxygen in. It should take about 24 - 48 hours for the airlock to stop bubbling.  The airlock is a really important piece of the fermentation process. You can make an airlock yourself pretty easily, or you can buy one inexpensively. Either way, be sure the airlock fits well and doesn't let additional air into the container. Why is it important that no air gets into the wash? The yeast feeds on oxygen from the sugar molecules, leaving ethyl alcohol behind (and spitting out carbon dioxide). If the yeast has a continuous supply of oxygen to eat, it won't be effective scavenging the oxygen from the sugar molecules. At this point, your yeast may still be on the surface of your wash. Allowing the yeast to enter the still during distillation will cause bad smells and flavors. To knock the yeast down to the bottom of the mash, you should move your mash to a cool place — ideally, 10° - 14° C (50° - 57° F) — and wait up to two days. At this point, you can siphon your wash directly into the still or rack it and save a part of the yeast for another batch in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте раствору бродить при 25 ͦС (77 ͦF), пока воздушный затвор на вашем баке не перестанет пузыриться. Опустите свои дрожжи вниз, снижая температуру.


The yolks of hard boiled eggs can produce sulfur and related chemicals that react with the copper to change the color to a darker brown or black. While this method will take longer and may not produce as dramatic results as using liver of sulfur, you do not need any equipment other than hard boiled eggs and a sealed container. . Use two or three eggs for copper jewelry, or more if you have larger or multiple items. Place the eggs in a pot of boiling water and let them sit for at least ten minutes. The over-boiled sulfurous smell and greenish ring around the yolk are good indicators that the eggs will darken your copper. Use a spoon or other utensil to break the eggs into pieces. If the container you will be using is a bag, it may be tidier to place the eggs inside it first. Try not to have the eggs touch the copper if you want to avoid colored spots on your copper. Instead, place the copper objects on a small dish or on the other side of the container. Fasten the lid or seal the plastic bag. The container must be airtight in order for the gases produced by the egg to become concentrated enough to affect the copper. Depending on the freshness of the eggs and the quantity of eggs used, you could start to see results within twenty minutes or several hours. Check back every half hour to an hour, or if you want your copper to become much darker, leave it overnight. Use a clean cloth to wipe off excess color if the copper became too dark, or if you want to create a more variable, less even effect.

The ‘leave it’ command teaches your dog to walk away from the garbage can. With the treat in your closed fist, your dog will probably sniff and paw at your hand, and might even bark or whine to get the treat. When he has lost interest in getting the treat—probably after a minute or two— open your fist, immediately say ‘yes,’ and give him the treat.  Every three to four times that you practice this, hold your fist open, say ‘yes,’ and give him the treat. You want to teach him that he needs to walk away only when you say ‘leave it.’  Keep practicing this until your dog knows to leave the treat alone when you say ‘leave it.’ Hold a treat in your closed fist and say ‘leave it.’ Rather than paw at your hand, your dog will likely look up to you expectantly to wait for you to say ‘yes.’ As soon as he looks up at you, open your fist, immediately say ‘yes,’ and give him the treat. You may need to practice this many times before your dog learns that direct eye contact with you is necessary to earn his treat when you say ‘leave it.’ Looking at you also redirects his attention from whatever he may have been tempted to eat. Choose a different type of treat to place on the floor—it should be one that he likes, but not as much as his favorite treat. The treat on the floor will be the ‘bait.’ When you place the bait on the floor, say ‘leave it’ and closely cover the bait with your hand. Hold his favorite treat in your other hand. When your dog eventually loses interest in getting the bait under your hand, pick the bait up off the floor, immediately say ‘yes,’ and give him his favorite treat.  Make sure that he does not eat the bait. If he manages to get to the bait, show him the tastier treat that he could have gotten if he hadn’t eaten the bait.  Challenge him by holding your hand up to six inches above the bait. This will test his ability to leave the bait on the floor even when it is in clear sight and easily attainable. Repeat this until he resists the temptation to eat the bait, and instead chooses to look up at you and...

The “<?php” and “?>” tags tell the PHP engine that everything between them is PHP code. Everything outside the two tags is treated as HTML and ignored by the PHP engine and sent to your browser the same as any other HTML. The important thing to recognize here is that PHP scripts are embedded inside regular HTML pages. Statements are used to tell the PHP engine to do something. In the case of an echo statement, you are telling the engine to print what is inside the quotes. The PHP engine itself never actually prints anything to your screen. Any output generated by the engine is sent to your browser as HTML. Your browser does not know that it's getting PHP output. As far as the browser is concerned, it's getting plain HTML. Adding HTML tags can alter the output of the php statement. The “” “” tags will add bold formatting to any text placed inside of them. Note that these tags appear on the outside of the text, but inside of the quotations marks of the echo statement. You want your code to look something like: <?php?echo "Hello World!";?> Remember, statements need to be separated by a semicolon. Your code should look something like:<?php echo “Hello World!”
;echo “How are you doing?”; ?> The page will display two echo statements, listed in order, on two lines. Notice the “
” on the first line. This is HTML markup to insert a line break. If you didn't add this, your output would look like this: Hello World!How are you doing?

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите принцип работы тегов PHP. Поймите принцип действия команд, заключенных в теги. Используйте теги HTML, чтобы сделать шрифт текста жирным. Измените файл, добавив в него вторую команду echo. Сохраните и откройте в браузере файл "hello world double.php".


The “Timeline” function allows you to animate the graphic—it controls when each layer is or is not visible. The “Timeline” is located to the right of the “Layer” list. Each layer has it own life bar within the timeline, which you can trim, extend, or group with other layers as desired. When you work within the “Composition” window, you may manually position, or transform, the layers. Select a layer from the list. Move your cursor over the “Composition” window and zoom, or scroll, out. A set of handles will appear around the composition. This indicates the the layer may be transformed, or positioned.  To shrink or expand the layer, click on the handle, press ⇧ Shift, and drag your cursor towards the inside or outside of the window. To rotate an element, press Ctrl+W. This will activate the rotation tool. To move a layer on a 2-D plane, click on the element you want to move and drag it to its new position.

Their eyes should be open and they should have fur, they should be able to hear and they should be able to walk and eat immediately.  If any of the pups is definitely alive, but is not alert or able to see or walk then contact your vet immediately. The pups do not require a heat lamp or heating pad. They should be kept at the same comfortable temperature as the adults. It’s best to give the mother and pups some uninterrupted rest if they seem to be doing fine. If you are concerned about the mother or have serious health worries about one of the pups contact a vet immediately, however. Guinea pig pups and new mothers can decline quickly and the only real way to tell is from their weight. You should be able to handle the pups from birth, the mother won’t mind. At birth the pups should weigh roughly 2½ to 3½ oz. It is likely that all of the pups will have lost a little weight, but if one of the pups is significantly lighter than the others or has lost more weight, provide some hand-feed mix from a spoon and give them 15 minutes of one-on-one with their mother three times a day. Wait 24 hours after the birth to give additional feeding for one of the pups as it takes this long for some pups to begin feeding at all. Use this to determine if any pups require any additional feed and if the mother is doing well or becoming ill. Toxemia and calcium deficiency are still a threat for the first week after birth, so look out for signs of illness in the mother and continued weight loss. Daily weighing should continue for the first three weeks.  The pups will likely lose weight for the first three days, but after this it should pick up again. If the weight does not pick up, or a pup does not improve with additional feeding, consult the vet. The mother’s weight will vary for a few days whilst she re-adjusts but should settle within five days. If it declines every day or continues to change after 5 days, consult the vet. If the mother and all of the pups appear to be doing well there is no need for an immediate trip to the...

Their fans were often disenfranchised youth who felt no connection to the free-love movement of the 1970s or the societal norms of the 1970s. They discussed topics that directly affected these youths and were relevant to what was going on in the world during that time. This topic was perfect for the period where America used military force to achieve political change. In choosing this, they could speak out against the basic "American" beliefs behind the war effort.   Societal beliefs: Society believed that war could bring peace.  Experiences: War breeds more pain, suffering and destruction. Politicians start war, because they don't have to deal with those tragedies themselves.  Other observations: It's the poor that fight, people die in masses, the generals guide soldier into certain death.  The "truth": Politicians have the power and misuse it. They really focused less on rhyming and more on creating a vivid story with a rise, climax and a resolution.   Rising Action: "Generals gathered in their masses," "In the fields the bodies burning," and "Evil minds that plot destruction" are all examples of realistic experiences and observations that Black Sabbath pulled from.  Climax: "Politicians hide themselves away" and "Wait 'til their judgement day comes" support that from the examples, politicians will eventually be held responsible for what they did.  Resolution: "Now in darkness world stops turning," and "No more war pigs have the power" explain that eventually the people will rise up, and take back the power from the politicians. This provides a solution to the problems that existed in the rising action. Finding ways to make the lines fit together and to create a "story." They tied the rising action to the climax with the "oh lord yeah" which foreshadows the resolution of judgement day. Black Sabbath changed these experiences and facts surrounding war into something more meaningful and symbolic with literary devices. They weaved these ideas throughout the song, focusing on the main literary device of...

Their freakishly long legs make them very fast so you'll have to be quick.  Centipedes don't usually invade homes in large numbers, so you may be able to get rid of your problem just by stomping on, or bug-spraying, every one you see. Note that if you are afraid to even approach or be near the centipede, even vacuum cleaners won't be useful. If you don't want to kill the centipede, you can try to catch it in a jar and release it outside, but this usually leads to a high-pitched scream, a broken jar, and a free centipede. Just place them in corners and crevices where centipedes tend to hunt. You may also catch other insects that are sneakily crawling around your home. Know that larger centipedes that walk over sticky or glue traps may escape by simply leaving behind a couple legs. Sticky traps are most effective for smaller centipedes, not larger ones. Keep in mind that insecticides are only temporary solutions. Any garden supply store will carry these products. Just make sure to follow the package directions.  Even though these products shouldn't kill pets or humans, it's best not to have prolonged contact with them.  Sticky traps could possibly alert you to heavy traffic areas, allowing you to spray these areas or place more sticky traps. If one of your sticky traps turns out to be really popular and none of your other ones do, chances are the popular one is where you should focus most of your attention. If you want to kill the centipedes, but you don’t want to poison the earth, yourself, or your pets, you can use natural pesticides like boric acid or food grade diatomaceous earth for continual centipede control.  Products containing pyrethroids (cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, permethrin or tralomethrin) will exterminate centipedes on contact, and can be used as a fog or spray. Whether it's chemical insecticide, natural insecticide, or other, think about creating a moat-like barrier around the outside of your house. Because centipedes originate outside and come inside. When they...

Their intense flavor makes kumquat a good pairing for bitter or peppery greens, such as endive or arugula. Slice into thin rounds with a sharp knife. Remove the seeds, then layer the slices on top of the salad to show off the color. . Kumquat marmalade is much sweeter and less bitter than regular marmalade. The recipe is similar to most marmalades or jams. Since the kumquat seeds contain pectin, you can boil them along with the fruit to thicken your preserves. Keep the seeds in a cheesecloth bag while boiling, so they don't end up in your jar. . Pickling takes at least three days, but the result is quite unique. This particular recipe keeps some of the kumquat's sweet flavor. The acidic kumquat adds a nice flavor to lamb and poultry dishes. Add it 30 minutes before the meat is done braising or simmering. Seafood pairs especially well with kumquat, but it doesn't need to marinate in it. Add the fruit at the last minute instead, either as a garnish or blended in a vinaigrette. . Wash plenty of kumquats and cut them in half — at least 10 fruits per cup (240mL) of vodka. Cover with vodka and let sit in a cool, dark place, shaking once a day. It should pick up a faint taste after a couple of days, a strong taste after a week or two, and steadily continue to infuse for many weeks or months. If you enjoy sweet liquor, add some sugar as well, up to ¼ cup (25g) sugar per cup (240mL) of vodka. In the United States, the first appearance of kumquats coincides with Thanksgiving preparations. Take advantage of this to add pizazz to your holiday cranberry sauce, or use the same basic approach to make chutneys and desserts:  Slice 1½ cups (360mL) kumquats. Discard the seeds and stem. Simmer in a covered saucepan with ¼ cup (60mL) water, until the kumquats soften.  Add one of the following:  A can of cranberry sauce  Or dried cherries, grated ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon   Or ¾ to 1 cup (150–200g) sugar to make candied kumquats    Simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, until chutneys become a little translucent.

Their surroundings should suggest something significant about their personality or state of mind. Your description should also set-up the scene for what is about to happen.  If at their home, details concerning the location, size and condition of structure, how it is decorated, and your character’s housekeeping skills can offer clues as to their personality or habits. If your setting is a public space, like a coffee shop, tell readers whether the shop is a well-known chain, or a dive that few people even know about.  Reveal if they sit in the back rather than in view of other patrons. Make sure to consider your audience so that you can appeal to their senses and expectations. Tell your audience what the character sees, feels, smells, or hears to make it more realistic and engaging.  Don’t just tell your audience that your character is drinking coffee, give details about the type of coffee: straight espresso, a syrupy latte, or plain black Columbian coffee. Describe the scents in the shop, the noise from the drink machines, and the people chatting at tables nearby.  Can they hear a dog barking outside?  Is the sun permeating the window, forcing them to wear sunglasses? This is a great way to develop your character's personality.  Explain how they got there: were they trying out a new place on their own, meeting someone for the first time, or are they really bad at reading directions? Describe what exactly about the scene makes them uncomfortable.
