Identify anyone who has acted as an official or unofficial mentor. Also identify people who maybe helped you get the job in the first place or helped you get a promotion. You should tell these people that you are leaving your job. Stop by their office so you can talk in person.  You should also make sure they have your new work email address. Mentoring should continue even after you leave your job. Remember to thank them for helping you. Say something like, “You’ve been the best sounding board, Kathy. I hope we stay in touch.” You should next tell colleagues you were close to. Chances are you’ll maintain some sort of relationship outside of work, so you don’t want them to be insulted that you haven’t told them personally. Stop into their office and break the news. You aren’t obligated to tell others why you are leaving, but they will want to know nonetheless. Accordingly, you should settle on a story and stick with it. Your colleagues will talk to each other and compare notes. Don’t tell one person you’re leaving because you can’t take the stress but tell another person you’re leaving because the commute is shorter.  Ideally, you should settle on a story that is non-controversial. For example, you can simply say, “They promised promotion opportunities which I want to pursue.” Everyone can understand why you would want to leave for that reason. Whatever you do, don’t badmouth anyone, not even over drinks after work. If you need to vent, then call up your parents or therapist. If other people need to know that you’re leaving, you can let them know by email. Keep it brief and friendly. Tell them your last day and ask them to contact you if they have questions.  For example, other team members you work with occasionally should probably get an individual email. They might need to check about the status of a project. If you’re pressed for time, you can send one email and blind copy everyone on it. However, individual emails are better if you have time. Never send out an email to people you don’t know.

Identify the 2 tallest seedlings from each grouping to keep. Snip the other seedlings down to the surface of the soil. Do not yank the other seedlings out, since doing so will disturb the soil and may cause damage to the seedlings you're leaving in the ground. Use garden shears or scissors to snip the extra seedlings off at the soil. Examine the plants in each group, and look for the tallest one. It should also have the most leaves and look the healthiest. Snip the other one down to the soil. Now you should have 1 plant growing in each grouping you've made in the pot. In some cases, that may mean you have just a single plant, if you used a small container. If the surface of the soil seems dry, it's time for re-watering. Give mature plants enough water so that a little extra drains out from the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Never allow the soil to dry out, since dry soil will inhibit growth and lead to a bitter crop.  To check the soil, stick your finger in it. If it's dry, it's time to water. Lift the pot up to see how heavy it is. The heavier the pot, the more saturated the soil is with water. Check the pot throughout the day to get a feeling for how heavy or light the pot gets when you water. Adding mulch around your plant will help it retain more water. If your area is especially dry or hot, you may need to water twice a day. Drench the soil first before adding the fertilizer. Adding the fertilizer when the plants are dry may create problems. Use a water-soluble fertilizer, and apply as much as the label directs you to use. Fertilizers vary widely by brand and type, so always read the label. Pick a 5-10-5 or 14-14-14 fertilizer. Aphids, pickle worms, mites, and cucumber beetles will all target your cucumber plant. You can make your own organic pesticide with neem oil:  To make a spray with neem oil, mix 1 to 1.5 cups (240 to 350 mL) of water with a few drops of dishwashing soap and about 10-20 drops of neem oil.  With pests like cucumber beetles, you can simply pick them off by hand using gloves...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проредите проросшие огурцы, когда на ростках появится по 2 полноценных листка. Оставьте в каждой ямке по одному растению после того, как огурцы вырастут до 20–25 сантиметров. Ежедневно поливайте огурцы. Раз в неделю добавляйте сбалансированное удобрение. Уничтожайте вредителей растений с помощью масла нима или других органических пестицидов. Для предотвращения грибковых заболеваний используйте спрей от мучнистой росы. Соберите огурцы примерно через 55 дней после посадки.


Identify the foods you don't want to or should not be eating for nutritional, diet, health, religious, or other reasons but you're indulging in anyway. Think about why they are appealing to you – is there some taste or attribute that you get from those foods that you don’t have in your diet? Some examples that commonly apply include:  Fast food on a regular basis, such as fries, burgers, hot dogs, fried anything, etc. Pastries, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, and other baked goods. Sugary breakfast cereals. Fat-laden dishes. Chocolate and candies. Foods that bring on a headache or migraine, hives, rashes, or a general feeling of unwellness (this does not refer to foods that result in severe, life-threatening allergic reactions – you'll be more than aware that you can't indulge in those). Foods that seem to impact your complexion or your energy levels poorly. Foods that are not supposed be eaten because of your faith-based or other beliefs, such as meat, beef, ham, pork, unfiltered drinking water, etc. Foods that leave you feeling guilty or remorseful for eating. Keep a food journal to see how your life, how you feel, and food are linked. Note what you eat, how you feel, and when you feel cravings. It's important to focus on what causes you to indulge in naughty foods so that you can seek appropriate treatment or remedies. Cravings for food have a number of possible causes, and in some cases it's probably a good idea to discuss the problem with your doctor. In general, the following reasons can trigger food cravings:  Blood sugar levels and insulin levels are not being maintained evenly throughout the day. After spiking, a drop in blood sugar levels can bring on cravings. Convenience – some foods, like highly salted, fatty snacks, or sugary ones, are really easy to find in packages and gobble down without any preparation needed. The saltiness or sweetness makes them even more crave-worthy. Sleep deprivation – whether caused by emotional stress, a medical condition, or some other reason, a lack of sleep can cause...

Identify the values provided to you in the problem: mass in grams and volume in milliliters.  Mass = 5.2 g NaCl Volume = 800 ml water Do this by adding together the molar mass of sodium, Na, and the molar mass of chlorine, Cl.  The molar mass of Na = 22.99 g The molar mass of Cl = 35.45 g The molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 g In this instance, the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g, so the conversion factor is 1 mol / 58.44 g. Moles NaCl = 5.2 g NaCl * (1 mol / 58.44 g) = 0.08898 mol = 0.09 mol Since there are 1000 milliliters per liter, you will need to divide the number of milliliters in this problem by 1000 in order to find the number of liters.  You could also look at it as multiplying 800 ml by a conversion factor of 1 L / 1000 ml. To hasten the process, you could simply move the decimal point three places to the left instead of multiplying or dividing anything. Volume = 800 ml * (1 L / 1000 ml) = 800 ml / 1000 ml = 0.8 L In order to find the molarity, you need to divide 0.09 mol, the number of moles of the solute NaCl, by 0.8 L, the volume of the solution in liters. molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution =  0.09 mol / 0.8 L = 0.1125 mol/L Round your answer off to two or three decimal places and abbreviate molarity with “M.” Answer: 0.11 M NaCl

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите молярность раствора, полученного растворением 5,2 г NaCl в 800 мл воды. Найдите молярную массу NaCl. Умножьте массу растворенного вещества на коэффициент пересчета его молярной массы. Разделите 800 мл воды на 1000. Разделите количество молей растворенного вещества на количество литров раствора. Приведите ответ в порядок.


Identifying which industry you want to work in and the kind of editing you want to do will help you determine the kind of training you'll need. There's a ton of leeway when it comes to deciding what kind of editor you may want to become. Figuring out which kind you're really drawn to is the fun part!  You should enjoy the field in which you wish to edit, such as loving literature to be a book editor or sports to edit a sports magazine. You should also develop your knowledge in that field. Knowing the types of editing can also help you determine what kind of training you need. To become a content editor, you'll need to improve your writing skills in order to revise the content submitted by others. To become a copy editor, you'll need to improve your grammar skills to proofread for grammar and punctuation errors. Some specialty areas, such as legal, technical or medical publishing, may require learning a specialized style guide. Other areas require learning supplemental skills; to work as a design editor, you need to develop layout and graphic design skills. Many, many people go to college and end up getting a degree in English, but not too many people go to school specifically to become an editor. Although you should absolutely pursue your dream of becoming an editor if you have one, know that many people who graduate with degrees in English regret not having chosen a degree with a more solid economic pathway to freedom.  Formal college training is decidedly helpful but not always necessary in becoming an editor. A degree in English, journalism, or communications is helpful in getting an in-house editorial position, and there are degree and certificate programs in writing and editing. However, if you write and edit well, you may be trained on the job. To become a freelance editor, it's more important to demonstrate the ability to edit than to have a degree, although it may be necessary to get a degree if you seek in-house experience before freelancing. If you're still in college, look for internships that...

If Aries men are the crash and burn, fly by the seat of your pants type, Pisces men are more gentle, nurturing, and romantic. The more you can turn on your gentle side, exploring your natural sensitivity and vulnerability, the better your chances will be. The Pisces man doesn't care how much money you have, what kind of car you drive, or where you live. While it's a plus to him, he doesn't base his opinion of you on superficial factors like job status. Pisces men are looking for more of a soulmate, not a status symbol. Pisces men are very in touch with their creative side; they tend to look for the same thing in their romantic interests. If you've got a creative bone in your body, get in touch with it, explore it, and nurture it. A Pisces man who sees you develop a relationship with your art will want to explore that relationship with you. That's your in.  Art, spirituality, music — these are all expressions of your creativity that you can show to the Pisces man. Philosophy, sculpture, writing are also good hobbies to cultivate in order to put your best foot forward. A Pisces man may not be the life of the social party, but he treats the friends he does have like family, and he treats the family he has like friends. Invest in his family in order to invest in him. Pisces also like to feel that they are welcomed by your family. Therefore, try to prepare your family for someone who has a rich inner life, but whose outer shell may not immediately suggest it. Because Pisces internalize a lot about the world, perhaps noticing injustice and cruelty in ways that other signs don't, it helps to be generous around a Pisces you're trying to woo. Don't fake it, because he'll be able to see right through your shenanigans; tap into your most charitable self and let that person come out. Whenever you say "I love you," mean it. Don't be afraid when he says it back because a Pisces's words are the most meaningful and carefully chosen of any sign.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте рядом с ним чувственной и нежной. Будьте самими собой. Раскройте в себе какие-нибудь творческие таланты. Подружитесь с его друзьями и родственниками и уважайте то, что они делают. Будьте отзывчивыми. Будьте искренни.


If Benadryl leaves you wired, make sure to take your last dose for the evening a few hours before bedtime. Ideally, you would simply use a medication that didn't stimulate you, but sometimes there are not good alternatives available. The best you can do is hope that your response has calmed by bedtime. When you lie down, your blood doesn't have to fight against gravity to get to your nose and inflame the veins and tissues there; this is why it might seem like you have to sit up in bed every few minutes to clear up your nose when you’re congested.  Prop yourself up with pillows when you’re trying to get to sleep, and let gravity keep nasal inflammation at bay. A stuffy nose that impedes breathing is a common reason for being unable to sleep while you’re sick. Use a localized nasal spray right before bed, and reuse as necessary throughout the night to keep your nasal passages clear.  Decongestant nasal sprays reduce swelling in the sinuses and nasal tissues. They’re available both over-the-counter and by prescription, but should not be used over a prolonged period of time — three days at the most.  Salt-water nasal sprays don’t have compounds that reduce swelling, but are still effective for loosening mucus and making it easier to clear nasal passages through blowing your nose. These can be used as often as necessary. Nasal strips are a good alternative to sprays if you find that the sprays keep you awake. Sometimes, an illness makes you feel so bad that you lose your appetite for both food and drinks, but keeping your body hydrated is necessary for a speedy recovery. More important to sleep, though, is that a hot drink right before bedtime can soothe a sore throat, inhibit coughing, and clear up congestive mucus that would otherwise make it hard to breathe.   Avoid caffeinated drinks, like coffee or caffeinated tea, before bed. Find decaffeinated versions of your favorite hot drink. You can find teas that specifically help your body fight off colds at the grocery store, like teas with added Vitamin C or Echinacea.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не принимайте перед сном препараты, которые вызывают нервное возбуждение. Спите в правильной позе при заложенности носа. Используйте назальный спрей перед сном. Выпейте что-нибудь теплое перед сном.


If English is your second language, which suffix to use when converting verbs can get confusing. As there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to which suffix to use, don't be embarrassed to consult a dictionary after changing a verb to a noun. It can never hurt to double check. Many people consider changing verbs to nouns a form of poor writing. This is because it often sounds jargon heavy. Terms used in business, computing, or sports can sound like meaningless jargon if you use the noun form over the verb form.  For example, take the sentence, "The boss conducted an investigation about the allegations." It's a little wordy, and it's easier to simply write, "The boss investigated the allegations." For instance, while you could say, “The team did a review of the tape,” it doesn’t flow well. Instead, go with, “The team reviewed the tape.” Using nouns as verbs can be helpful if you're trying to sound less emotional and more objective. If dealing with sensitive information, for example, it can be beneficial to sound a little technical. Be aware of when you're using conversions and whether they convey the proper tone. For example, take the sentence, "He retaliated by filing a lawsuit." As this is a sensitive situation, you may want to phrase it in gentler terms. You can use the noun form to write the more played down sentence, "The lawsuit may have been a form of retaliation."

TL;DR in Russian:

Сверьтесь со словарем, чтобы перепроверить суффиксы. Избегайте речи, которая звучит слишком жаргонно. Меняйте части речи только в том случае, если это лучше передает тон письма.


If Helen Keller were on your team, you wouldn't assign her to start making phone calls, you know? You're not gonna assign Lennie to watch over screaming, dramatic teenage girls. You're not gonna hand Voldemort the Elder Wand. People (read: your team) have individual strengths (and weaknesses). It's your job as a leader to put them where they need to be. Where they're most useful. It's your job to recognize that each person has value. It's your job to ignite that chemistry between people and their efforts. Since you're leading, you're also (presumably) delegating. So let Helen read, write and inspire others. Let Lennie take care of the rabbits. Have He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named work on the recruitment side of things. Let everyone maximize their potential -- they'll be happier and you'll be happier, too. If you're running for President of the United States, it's a bad idea to have your slogan be, "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT IN 2016!" It's just not going to happen. You cannot lead your team with the expectations that everything will go swimmingly and everything will always be totally awesome. No. You gotta be real. You gotta be positive, but you gotta be real. Let your team know what's down the road. You're the seer, after all. It's important to handle expectations on a macro and micro level. You need to check-in on the team level and on the individual level. Does everyone know what their own obligations are? How does that fit into the bigger picture? With any focus-driven team, there's bound to be people who disagree and there's bound to be people who disagree with you. There will be those who think they should be leading, there will be those who just don't like your style, and there will be those who just plain think your team should be going in a different direction. This is normal. Your job is to get them on board. In most cases, this will be the minority (if it's the majority, you'll probably be ousted). The other two groups will be those who are behind you and those who really could go either way. You...

If Remicade produces side effects you should contact your doctor or nurse immediately to discuss whether the medication is right for you. Be aware that not all side effects appear immediately or they may not be side effects of the medication, but in fact part of your disease or something unrelated, such as a cold. Tell your doctor if you develop side effects even if it is days or weeks after the infusion so that she can evaluate your condition. Not everyone experiences side effects, but in some people they may be severe enough that it is necessary to stop the medication. Possible side effects include:  Stomach pain, vomiting, or nausea Fever, flushing, or chills Coughing, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, or sore throat Fainting, dizziness, tiredness Difficulty breathing Chest pain Headache or muscle pain Hives or an itchy rash Ask your doctor whether this medication will be safe for you to use while carrying a child.  It is unknown whether this medication is safe for women to take while breastfeeding. There have not been enough studies done to demonstrate that it is safe. Talk to your doctor to discuss whether you should give your infant formula while on this medication. Some health providers list pregnancy and breastfeeding as a criteria that disqualifies patients as being eligible for Remicade. Some health conditions will prevent you from being eligible for this medication. In particular, because this medication affects your immune system, chronic or acute infections make this may make this medication unsafe for you. Talk to your doctor if you develop any of the following conditions:  A current systemic infection Sepsis An abscess Heart failure Latent or active tuberculosis Cancer Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

If a Scorpio knows what's on your mind, they're much more likely to calm down and reach a compromise. Although Scorpios are intuitive, they are not psychic. Let your Scorpio know what's on your mind, and listen to them when they open up to you. You could say, for example, "When you said that you don't like my dog, it hurt my feelings. My dog means a lot to me, and I guess I felt kind of offended when you insulted her." When a Scorpio man is in love, he may become overprotective of his lover when he's concerned or jealous when he feels insecure.Talk to your Scorpio if you feel smothered to gain more personal space and independence.  Be kind when pointing this tendency out to your Scorpio. Usually, his heart is in the right place and he might not even know what he's doing. You may say, for example, "I know that you're worried about me taking the night bus home, but I promise you that I'm safe. This is something I've done many times before. How about I call you when I get home?" Even if they have a cool outer shell, Scorpios are sensitive at heart. Harsh criticism can hurt your Scorpio's feelings and damage any trust between you and him. Make sure you offer constructive criticism and pair each critical comment with a compliment. You could say, for example, "So today when we were talking with my friend, she said she felt like you were a little standoffish. I know that you didn't mean it because you have such a good heart, but sometimes you can seem a little aloof." Scorpio men and women both like to be dominant in their relationships, especially when arguing. If your Scorpio partner is too dominant for your liking, tell them that you value independence and focus on building a balanced relationship.  At the same time, don't try to win every disagreement with your Scorpio. Focus more on understanding his perspective and coming to a compromise than shutting down his wants. You might say, for example, "Hey, I know that you want to spend the entire weekend together, but I need some 'me time' tonight. If you could...

If a boat, dock, or some other solid object you can climb upon is no more than a few yards away, swim to it and get out of the water. Otherwise, stay put. Even strong swimmers can end up drowning when they try to swim in cold water. When too much body heat gets lost, hypothermia sets in very fast. Hopefully you're wearing a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD), because it's imperative that you stay afloat. You don't want to have to do the doggie paddle to keep your head above water, since that uses up too much energy. Make sure your life jacket or PFD is fastened tightly, and lean back a bit to make it easier to keep your head above the water's surface.  Look around for something that may be floating in the water that could help you stay afloat. If your boat capsized, you may see a lifesaver ring, seat cushions, or other items you can grab. If you don't have anything to keep you afloat, you'll have to use your hands and feet. Try to move as little as possible, making only as many movements as necessary to keep your face out of the water. The Heat Escape Lessening Position, called HELP, keeps your body as warm as possible and conserves energy while you wait to be rescued. Draw your legs up to your chest and cross your feet. Wrap your arms around your chest and keep all your appendages close to your chest. Now "sit" in this position and bob on the water's surface.  HELP only works if you're wearing a PFD that keeps your head above the water without your having to move. Don't attempt HELP unless you're wearing a PFD. If you're wearing a life jacket that's designed in such a way as to make it difficult to assume HELP, assume the "survival position" instead. Keeping your head above the water, hold your body vertical with your arms straight at your sides, and your legs straightened and held together. If you're in the water with other people, the best way to stay warm is to huddle together. Get close to each other and lock arms and legs so that you're forming a big group hug. Make as much bodily contact...

TL;DR in Russian:

If a boy you met online likes you, he will likely want to get to know you better. Does he ask you questions about your life? If he responds and engages with your answers, it may be a sign that he likes you.  He might ask about your job, hobbies, and family in an attempt to get to know you better. Showing an interest in your life is a sign that he likes you. That being said, if he asks you really personal but irrelevant questions, like what your address is or whether or not you’re home alone, he might have other motives. If he asks you to meet up for coffee or go on a date, that is a tell-tale sign that he likes you and wants to get to know you better. Some guys are shy or timid and may not ask to meet up. If you are interested in him, take the initiative and say "do you want to grab a drink sometime?" If he responds quickly and enthusiastically, it may mean that he likes you too. Alternatively, he may say "Sure, just let me check my schedule." If he never gets back to you with his availability he is probably not interested. After awhile it may become tedious trying to pick up on signals to see if he has feelings for you. You can always try and be direct and simply ask him how he feels about you. You could say "I feel like we have a really good connection and I am starting to develop feelings for you. Do you feel the same?" This way you will get straight to the point and you can stop guessing about his feelings and intentions. Once you have met and gone on a couple dates, you may be wondering if this is actually going anywhere. One way to see if he likes you is to check if he has removed his online dating profile. This could be a sign that he has met someone he likes (you) and is no longer interested in online dating.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание, пытается ли парень больше о вас узнать. Предложите ему встретиться лично. Будьте прямолинейны и спросите, нравитесь ли вы ему. Проверьте его профиль на сайте знакомств.


If a bully is getting in your face, put your hand out like a crossing-guard, creating a barrier between you and the bully. Look them in the eye and say, calmly but firmly, "I want you to stop right now." If they continue encroaching on your territory or continue mocking you in some way, simply repeat your sentence. "Stop. I want you to stop right now. Stop." Don't say or do anything else but hold your ground and repeat yourself. Bullies tend to pick on those who they identify as being unwilling or unable to stand up for themselves. Bullies choose easy targets to "test" by needling with words and actions. The quickest and best way to end bullying is to stand up for yourself and tell the bully firmly to stop and repeat the action until they comply. Negotiating, trying to befriend, or showing that it bothers you will give them more ammunition and make it worse. Don't whine, try not to cry, and stay firm. They'll get bored and lose interest when you stand up for yourself and don't give them anything to bully. There's nothing funny to say about "Stop." There's nothing to mock in someone who is confident. Pay attention to the way you hold yourself physically in the presence of bullies. Even if they're bigger than you (which they often are) stand up straight and look them straight in the eye. Hold their gaze icily. Look through them. Look as if you know something they don't. Think of your favorite strong-willed characters from movies. Picture Vin Diesel, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Clint Eastwood standing up to your bully as you stare them down: "Go ahead, punk. Make my day." Cast yourself as Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada Angelina Jolie in Wanted, or even Wednesday Adams from the Adams Family. Be unflappable. Don't listen to the things bullies say or take them seriously. Bullies say things in order to get a rise out of you, not because they believe these things, not because they are true, and not because they're trying to help. They're trying to break you down as a way of holding themselves up, because bullies are...

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите ему в глаза и велите прекратить. Стоит знать, как мыслят хулиганы. Распрямитесь во весь рост и пристально посмотрите на него свысока. Закройте уши. Защищайте себя с умом. Игнорируйте хулиганов в интернете. Научитесь наносить удар.


If a child is being disrespectful, you should acknowledge the behavior right away. Ignoring the behavior will encourage them to continue until they get your attention.  For example, if they're interrupting you while you're on the phone, you could say: "Sweetie, I know you're trying to get my attention, but I'm busy right now." This shows them that you see them and aren't ignoring them. You could even add: "...so you'll have to wait until I'm done." This will tell them what to do in the meantime and promises them that you won't forget about them. If you tell your child to stop with no explanation, they may not see a reason to stop. Once you have identified what your child is doing, explain to them why their behavior is wrong or disrespectful. This will help your child understand the necessity of good manners.  Continuing the phone example: if they keep interrupting, say something like, "I'm on the phone. It's not nice to interrupt me while I'm talking to someone else as I'm unable to give them my full attention." You can also suggest an alternative behavior. For example, say something like, "Can you wait for a pause in the conversation if you really need something?" If you try to talk rationally with disrespectful children, and they still continue to misbehave, you need to explain the consequences of their actions. Then, if they continue to disrespect you, make sure you carry out the consequences.  Always follow-through on the consequences. If you don't, your child won't take you seriously next time and continue to misbehave. Make sure you tell them a consequence that can be definitely carried through. Think about it carefully and choose your words wisely. For the most impact, choose consequences that are directly related to the behavior in your child you want to change. If you have to discipline a child, make sure you do so appropriately. Not all forms of punishment work and punishment types depends on the age of the child and the severity of his or her behavior. For example:  Avoid physical punishment, like...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сразу укажите на неподобающее поведение. Объясняйте причины. Объясните последствия. Выбирайте подходящие меры.


If a child's "fight-flight-or-freeze" mechanism has activated, they may not be able to control themselves, even though they know that it's not good to hit people or scream in public. The best way to stop it is to prevent it from getting that far. Never get drawn into a power battle. Forcing control upon a child will make them afraid of you, and it won't make them respect you more. When stressed, a child may have trouble with auditory processing, and not be able to understand what you are saying. In these circumstances, talk less, and instead focus on de-escalating. Try to use nonverbal communication. For example, instead of asking "Do you want your bunny?", show them the bunny so they can grab it if they want. Instead of saying "Let's go outside," point to the door and have them take your hand so you can lead them out. When stressed, the child might lose the ability to speak, while still being able to use AAC. Handing them a device shows that you aren't going to pressure them to speak, and that you'll listen if they advocate their needs.  Watch for deteriorating speech abilities. If an ordinarily articulate girl points to a peanut shell and cries "bug," then she might be having trouble processing things, and may communicate better with AAC. If they have several forms of AAC, let them choose. If they are more overwhelmed, a simpler form will do better. For example, maybe your student is too frazzled to type, but can show you the picture card for "too loud." For example, if a boy knows that when he gets into the car, he will get a tasty snack, and he can play a game at home, he might be more willing to leave the park. Implement the strategy if you see stress building. (You can always come back later, once the child is calmer.)  Explain the exit strategy beforehand—don't wait until the child is mid-meltdown. Use visual supports, like a keyring with pictures, if needed.  Tailor the rewards to the child's favorite things. Make sure that they are available; if you run out, the child may stop trusting the routine...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не усугубляйте ситуацию, если вы видите, что уровень стресса нарастает. Говорите как можно меньше. Дайте ребенку устройство для дополнительной или альтернативной коммуникации (ААС). Заранее подготовьте стратегию выхода из ситуации.


If a company is touted as a big winner, but its stock is offered at a very low price, it may be a "pump and dump" stock. A "pump and dump" stock is a  fraudulent stock that will not yield any real money for you, as the investor.  The best way to determine if a stock is solid and worth the investment is to do your research. "Turnaround" companies, which were bankrupt and are going through restructuring, are good potential investments: their shares will be cheap as they restructure, and as they become more successful their stock could be expected to rise. Successful penny-stock traders will often spend all day in front of their computer, making frequent trades at a moment's notice.   This type of stock trading will look a lot like gambling: some luck will help. Unlike in a casino, however, the trader won't know the odds of winning before putting in his money, and of course there is no way to predict luck. If you spend enough time reviewing, researching, and watching your stock, you will start to see patterns and may be able to predict when it's time to buy or sell. Don't use them in your retirement portfolio. It's very difficult consistently to accumulate wealth from penny stocks. They're better suited for short-term speculative plays.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если акции продаются по слишком привлекательной цене, да еще и рекламируются, то, скорее всего, это схема «накачка и сброс». Наиболее успешные торговцы мелкими акциями проводят возле компьютера весь день, быстро торгуя акциями в нужное время. Помните, что мелкие акции не являются надежными, долгосрочными инвестициями.


If a condom gets stuck in the vagina or rectum, it can cause problems, like infection. If small parts of a condom get stuck inside you, like from a broken condom, then you may not know it is left inside. Watch for these symptoms:  Colored discharge from the vagina or rectum that may have a bad odor Unusual odor from the area High temperature Itching, rash, swelling, or redness around the vagina or rectum Pain or discomfort when urinating or having a bowel movement Pain in the pelvic area or the abdomen . The condom should be put on properly every time you use one. This not only helps protect from STIs and prevent the condom breaking, it also helps keep it from falling off during intercourse.  The condom should be unrolled onto an erect penis, making certain to leave room at the tip for the semen. Place the condom on the head of the penis, leaving about a half-inch of space at the top. Pinch the condom at the top, pushing all the air out of it. Continue unrolling the condom along the shaft of the penis. As you are unrolling, wrap your thumb and index finger around the penis right below the pinched condom to ensure that space remains. Smooth out any air bubbles that are in the condom. Make sure to be careful right after sex to prevent the condom from falling off. You or your partner should hold onto the condom at the base of the penis while pulling out. Your partner should pull out immediately after ejaculation while the penis is still erect. Otherwise, semen can leak out. properly for anal sex. A female condom may get stuck in the rectum if it is used improperly. The rectal muscles can potentially pull a female condom inside the body. If you want to use a female condom for anal sex, make sure to insert the female condom right before engaging in anal sex. Don’t put the female condom in hours before anal sex because that increases the risk of it getting stuck inside. Condoms made of latex tend to slip less often than condoms made with polyurethane. Condoms made with polyisoprene slip less than polyurethane and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Почему застрявший презерватив представляет опасность? Надевайте презерватив правильно Примите меры предосторожности, когда половой акт завершится. Правильно используйте женский презерватив во время анального секса, иначе он может застрять в прямой кишке. Лучше пользоваться латексными презервативами.


If a condom gets stuck inside the rectum, or a female condom gets stuck inside the vagina or rectum, it should be removed immediately. Stop intercourse as soon as you discover the condom has slipped off and have the man remove his penis.  There is no need to panic if a condom gets stuck inside you. Most condoms can be retrieved. If the condom stays inside of you for more than a couple of hours, you may develop an infection. A slipped condom increases your risk for pregnancy and/or STIs. After the condom is removed, you should see your doctor immediately for a checkup and use emergency contraception if you were having vaginal sex. If you get a condom stuck in your rectum during anal sex, try to remove it. Sit on the toilet with your knees spread. Try to push down like you are having a bowel movement. This might push the condom down. Carefully insert a finger to try to pull out the condom. If you think you will have a bowel movement soon, you can wait to see if you push the condom out during the bowel movement; however, leaving a condom inside your rectum for long periods of time can cause infections. Female condoms can get pushed inside the vagina and get stuck. This happens when the outer ring of the female condom pushes inside the vagina.  If the female condom gets pushed inside the vagina, stop sex immediately. Ask your partner to pull the female condom out, or try to insert one or two fingers inside to pull it out yourself. Make sure to insert a new female condom before having sex again. If you get a condom stuck inside your rectum or a female condom stuck in your vagina that you can’t get out, you should visit the emergency room. Due to the way the anal muscles contract, removing a condom may be difficult without the help of a professional. Never be embarrassed to go to the doctor or emergency room for help with this kind of issue. You should never leave a condom inside your vagina or rectum because it can cause serious complications.

TL;DR in Russian:

Быстро извлеките презерватив. Сядьте на унитаз, чтобы извлечь презерватив, застрявший в прямой кишке. Незамедлительно извлекайте женский презерватив. Посетите пункт экстренной медицинской помощи.


If a condom slips off during intercourse, it should be removed as soon as possible. You should immediately stop intercourse and refrain from panicking. If the condom did not slip off when he was pulling out, the man should remove his penis.  There is a risk of infection the longer the condom remains in place. You shouldn’t allow a condom to remain inside you for more than a couple of hours. When a condom slips off, it has already lost its effectiveness for both birth control and to prevent STIs. You should visit your doctor to discuss this immediately. Before you try to remove a condom from inside you, make sure to wash your hands. This helps reduce the risk of bacteria from entering your body.  If you have cuts or open sores on your fingers, make sure to cover them before you insert your fingers inside yourself. You should also make sure you or your partner do not have sharp nails because you can scrape the inside of your vagina. If you have a condom stuck inside, lie on your back. Spread your knees apart to allow access and make it easier to remove. Insert one or two fingers into your vagina. Once you feel the condom, grab it carefully. Smoothly and gently, pull out the condom.  If you are using one finger, try to hook the condom with your finger. You may also try to press the condom between your finger and your vaginal wall and drag it out slowly. If you are using two fingers, try to grab the edge of the condom between your two fingers. Squeeze the edges tightly between your fingers as you slowly try to pull it out. If you cannot reach the condom, ask your partner to pull out the condom. Your partner should insert one or two fingers and feel around for the condom. Once he touches the condom, he should gently pull it out. Try your best to keep any semen from spilling out of the condom as you pull it out if possible. If neither you nor your partner can reach the condom, try raising your hips. This may shift the condom so that you or your partner can reach it more easily. Place a pillow under your hips to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Достаньте презерватив как можно скорее. Помойте руки. Лягте на спину. Поднимите бедра. Убедитесь в целостности презерватива. Сядьте на унитаз. Посетите врача.


If a conversation can benefit by your participation, jump in.  Healthy exchange of ideas is essential to becoming a more understanding person. There’s usually an opportunity to learn from deep, emotionally-invested discourse, and an opportunity to impart some wisdom of your own.  Preface opinionated comments with phrases like “I think...” or “it’s my belief that…” Be aware of how you present yourself in discussions on politics, religion and ethical issues, as these can easily breed conflict. Get active in making plans or coming to decisions. Explain your line of thinking and make it clear what your preferences are. By holding your tongue, you forfeit your say-so in the decisions that get made, even when they affect you.  An action as small as vetoing an option for where to eat lunch can make you feel more empowered to speak. If you're unsure whether a particular idea will be accepted, make it sound like you're just brainstorming. Try something like "Do you think it would work better if we..." or "What if instead of going to the theater, we curl up and watch a movie on the couch?" Failure to speak up can be misinterpreted as permissiveness or indifference. If you’re opposed to something, say so. Take an outspoken stance on objectionable issues, behaviors and beliefs in no uncertain terms. Otherwise, you’re as much to blame for circumstances as the person who has created them.  A scornful glance will never have the same effect as forcefully asking "What makes you think it's acceptable to behave that way?" You can’t change the way things are until you first point out what’s wrong with them. Be polite, cool-headed and willing to listen even (maybe especially) when an ordinary discussion turns into an argument. Do your best to always encourage respectful and open-minded communication. The way you carry yourself in conversation should serve set a positive example. Knowing when it’s best to withhold your opinion or stifle the urge to voice your thoughts is just as important as knowing when to speak proudly.  Resist...

TL;DR in Russian:

Скажите что-то, чтобы оживить беседу. Включайтесь в процесс принятия решений. Не позволяйте ошибочно принимать ваше молчание за согласие. Будьте корректны.


If a culture or other test identified an infection, your doctor will likely recommend an antiviral or antibiotic medication. Take any medication according to their instructions. Schedule a follow-up appointment if you don't feel better after a few days. If your primary doctor suspects your high WBC count is due to arthritis or a digestive issue, they'll refer you to the appropriate specialist. Your specialist will recommend medication or dietary changes to help manage the underlying condition. You doctor may recommend more tests if your counts are over 100,000. This may include blood smears or a bone marrow test. In the rare event that you do have cancer, a team of doctors will develop a treatment plan. A leukemia diagnosis is scary, but treatment is available. Your doctor will advise you which course of treatment is right for you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вылечите вирусную, бактериальную или грибковую инфекцию. Проконсультируйтесь со специалистом по поводу артрита или расстройства пищеварения. Узнайте у врача, стоит ли вам пройти обследования для выявления ракового заболевания. Подберите с врачом курс лечения.


If a customer files a claim against you, the bonding company will review the claim and decide whether they think you are at fault or the customer is filing a spurious claim. If they side with you, then they'll back you as you decide to fight the claim. If they side with the customer, then they pay the cost of the claim in order to settle it. Sadly, a bonding company, or surety, isn't the magical answer to all your liability problems. If a bonding company sides with a customer filing a claim and pays the cost of the claim, you are ultimately responsible for paying the bonding company back the cost of the claim as well as any legal fees. Think about the surety as a credit card. In case you need to pay any claims, the government mandates that you have a credit card so that you actually have the money to pay. This gives the customer insurance that they will get financial reparations if you break the law. Otherwise, contractors could claim insolvency and never give the customers a cent, throwing a wrench in the system. So bonding is an insurance mechanism, except the insurance isn't for you — it's for your customers. Because sureties are a hassle, it's best to avoid needing them in the first place. Of course, you pay a premium for the surety each month, but you never want to actually have to use it. It's a fail-safe in case the worst happens, not a fallback for when you're in tough times.  Here are two easy things you can do to avoid claims from triggering your surety bond:  Follow all regulations and laws set forth by the government for your industry. Get current with everything your federal, state, and local governments have mandated you follow. The easiest way to incite someone to file a claim against you is to break the law, however small the indiscretion. Settle any and all disputes before they come to a boil. This is a lesson in customer service. Make sure all your customers, even the craggy, mean ones, feel like you respect them. Because if they don't, they're far more likely to file a claim against you....

TL;DR in Russian:

Ознакомьтесь с последствиями подачи на вас искового заявления. Будьте готовы возместить поручительской компании все средства, которые она на вас потратила. Старайтесь избежать исков любой ценой! Следует знать, чего ожидать, если вы соискатель с высоким риском. Учтите, что кроме поручительской гарантии есть другие виды страхования.


If a cyberbully is sending nasty comments to you, going around impersonating you, or just generally trying to upset you online, it can be easy to want to fight back and to tell that person to go away and to start calling that person a few names yourself. But the truth of the matter is, the more you engage with the bully, the more they will think that they're getting to you, and the more likely they'll be to keep bothering you.  You can say something like "Please leave me alone," but other than that, don't talk to the person. You can tell the person, "I'm saving evidence of this conversation" to encourage the person to stop bothering you. Beyond this, though, it's best to avoid talking to the bully at all. Just as in real life, if the bully sees that he or she has the power to make you upset, he or she will be more likely to continue bothering you. Whether you're on Facebook chat, g-chat, or another form of instant messaging, block the bully from your account so you cannot receive any messages from them. You may also appear invisible to the bully, depending on which programs you are using. Once you block the bully from talking to you, he or she is likely to give up on trying to reach out to you. Blocking sends a louder message than engaging with the bully. The bully will see that you're serious about wanting to be left alone. If the bully sends you hurtful chats, posts, or emails, don't delete the evidence. Save it in case you decide to contact your service provider or to talk to an adult or an administrator of your school. Having a written record of the bully's behavior will give you the proof you need to get the bully in trouble. Save it somewhere, print it out, and make sure the evidence is on hand when you need it. If you don't save any evidence, then it'll be your word against the bully's, and the bully is likely to deny having any online contact with you. Even the act of saving and storing the evidence of the bullying will be empowering for you, even if you decide not to use it. If you want to make it...

TL;DR in Russian:

If a doctor treated you for genital warts, get retested at regular intervals for them and for HPV. This will help ensure that the virus and disease have left your system and that you are no longer contagious. Recurrence of genital warts is common and is often treated with the same course of medications. The best way to treat genital warts is to avoid getting them. Using latex or polyurethane condoms and limiting the number of your sex partners will minimize your risk for contracting the disease or having a recurrence.  Always use condoms during sexual contact. Although condoms will not eliminate your risk of getting warts, they will decrease your risk. If you have oral sex, use a condom or dental dam.  The more sexual partners you have, the higher your risk of getting genital warts is. Try and limit the number of partners you have to decrease your risk, and always use condoms with your partners. Doctors are not sure why, but being a smoker may make you more likely to contract genital warts. This may be because smoking suppresses your immune system. Being a smoker can also increase your likelihood of a recurrence. Try and avoid smoking for your overall health if possible. There is now a vaccine available that can protect against the strains of HPV which cause genital warts. If you or your child is between the ages of 9 and 26, consider getting the Gardasil vaccination to help avoid contracting genital warts.  Be aware that Cervarix, which also protects against HPV, does not protect against genital warts. Getting the vaccination may reduce your risk of getting genital warts by 50%.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно проходите обследования на генитальные бородавки и вирус папилломы человека (ВПЧ). Занимайтесь безопасным сексом. Знайте, что курение может повышать вероятность заражения генитальными бородавками. Сделайте прививку от вируса папилломы человека.


If a food contains a lot of nutrients and vitamins but your body cannot absorb or process them, then the nutrients are essentially wasted. Cooking can often increase the absorption of certain nutrients. For instance, the absorption of beta-carotene was found to be 6.5 times greater when carrots were stir fried versus when eaten raw. Tomatoes sautéed in olive oil may be linked to an  increased absorption of lycopene, an antioxidant. Spinach, asparagus, and mushrooms are other foods that may benefit from heating, as this can increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients, allowing your body to better absorb them. Try cooking foods whole an unpeeled to preserve their vitamins while cooking. It may surprise you to learn that microwaving is a good way to heat food while preserving many nutrients, particularly in mushrooms and garlic. This is due to the short cooking times. Iron pots may destroy vitamin C but add iron, especially in acidic food, while unlined copper will destroy vitamin C, vitamin E, and folacin. Roasting meat for a long time destroys thiamin. If you boil vegetables or cook them in large quantities of fat (for instance, through deep-frying), you may end up leaching out valuable vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin B and vitamin C will be leached out during boiling, while fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A will leach out into cooking oil. Instead, steam vegetables using a small amount of water on the stovetop or in a microwave. You can also sauté them in a small amount of fat that will be including in the dish itself.  As long as you use microwave-safe vessels, microwaving does not affect nutrient content more than any other cooking method.  Keep the lid on. By keeping the lid on your pot while cooking vegetables, steam is created that helps cook the vegetables faster. Drizzling some olive oil on your salad or lightly frying your greens in oil can help you absorb the fat-soluble vitamins contained in vegetables. Any water that is used while cooking catches the vitamins that leach...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, какие продукты наиболее питательны в приготовленном виде и как их готовить. Выбирайте посуду для готовки с умом. Не готовьте слишком долго! Готовьте на пару, когда это возможно. Добавляйте к овощам немного масла. Используйте повторно или сохраняйте воду, в которой готовили.


If a food film survived the dishwasher, give it a thorough hand scrub. Use plenty of soap and hot water. Most likely, this film is a protein that has set onto the glass. If necessary, try again with a spot of dishwasher detergent instead of dish soap. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from irritation. Eggs, meat, and dairy products are common, protein-rich foods. The high heat of the dishwasher can cause their proteins to set onto the dishes. To avoid this, rinse off most of the food residue before you load the dishwasher. If a deep or round glass often ends up with food film at the base, the dishwasher spray may not reach it. Wash these glasses by hand. A "rinse aid" product added to your dishwashing cycle will help the water roll off your dishes instead of beading up. Try this if your dishwasher fails to remove all the food gunk.

TL;DR in Russian:

If a friend who is frustrated or in pain says they don’t want to talk about their feelings right now, it can sting. You want to be a good friend and help them, and it feels like you can’t do that if they won’t open up. It may be difficult, but the best thing to do in these situations is to let your friends have their space.  Let them know, “That’s all right. I’m not going to push you if you don’t want to talk. Just know that I am here for you if decide later that you need someone to listen to you.” There are a lot of reasons your friend may not be ready to talk. They may not be sure how they feel about a situation. They may be trying to move past it. They may not feel safe comfortable talking about the situation. Don’t take it personally. Just respect them. Active listening is a set of tools you can use to show your friend that you’re involved and engaged in what they are saying. It’s based on maintaining open body language, avoiding giving unsolicited judgment or advice, and expressing an active interest in what your friend says.  Paraphrase your friend periodically as they speak. This lets them know that you are paying attention to what they are saying. Express empathy. Empathy is very important in active listening. If your friend has negative feelings, whether they are toward you or someone else, validate those feelings rather than questioning them. For example, if your friend is  stressed by their job, listen to them until they’re done speaking. Then, paraphrase and show empathy by saying “What I hear is that you feel really stressed right now, and I understand how a workload like that can lead to stress.” You may have questions when your friend is talking or they may have reminded you of your own story. Still,  it’s important to avoid interrupting your friend while they’re talking. This lets them know that you respect what they have to say. If there’s something you really want to address but your friend is still talking, make a note to yourself. It could be a mental note, or you could write down a few...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поддержите друга, если он говорит, что не хочет разговаривать. Учитесь активно слушать. Не перебивайте друга.


If a girl compliments you, she could very well like you. This may be her way of making you feel desired.  She might say things like “you have amazing eyes” or “you’re so athletic - do you play any sports?” If you see most of her friends glancing back at you and smiling or giggling, this probably means that she has told her friends about you and they're "in the know." In some cases, a friend may actually be bold enough to come and tell you that her friend likes you. When she is having a conversation with her friends and you come over, they might stop talking all of a sudden. This likely means that you were the subject of the recently ended conversation. When a girl likes you, she will often try to impress you with her style. She may choose to wear slightly revealing clothes or put on lipstick to catch your eye. Every girl has a different sense of style, and not all girls will try to dress as aforementioned when they like somebody. However, if you notice that the girl you’re wondering about dresses a little more nicely around you, it could be a sign that she wants to impress you. When a girl likes you, she may tease you lightly about certain things you do or say. Ways of teasing include calling you out on a joke that actually wasn’t that funny, poking fun at something you’re wearing, or lightly telling you that you’re trying too hard. She may “friend” you on social media, talk to you in person every day after class, or text you randomly. These could be signs that this girl is intrigued and wants to get to know you more. This alone is not a definitive sign that a girl likes you. A girl who just wants to be friends may also try to engage in conversation with you. But if a girl tries to talk to you often, exhibits a number of flirty body language cues, and compliments you often, she may be trying to tell you that she likes you. When a girl likes you, she will want to know whether you are single or not so that she can decide if she should flirt with you. She may directly ask you if you have a girlfriend or she may...

TL;DR in Russian:

Умейте отвечать на комплименты. Наблюдайте за реакцией ее друзей. Обратите внимание на ее стиль. Попробуйте ее дружески игриво подразнить. Обратите внимание, ищет ли она повод поговорить с вами. Обратите внимание на ее попытки узнать о ваших отношениях. Обратите внимание, часто ли она строит из себя жертву. Проверьте ее интерес к вам, попросив у нее помощи. Обратите внимание на то, как она ведет себя в присутствии других.


If a girl who catches your attention, try to quickly make eye contact and smile as you walk past her.  Don’t stare for too long, and then look away for a few seconds to give her a chance to look you over, if she is also interested. If you glance back and catch her looking at you, smile and give a quick wave.  If she smiles or waves back, walk right up to her.  Then proceed straight to the third part : Starting the Conversation.  If you do not see her looking back, that does not necessarily mean she is not interested.  She may not have seen you, or you may have missed her glance.  You’re going to have to keep at it to find out. If you do catch her looking back, and she quickly turns away from you and walks on, that’s a signal that she knows you were trying to connect with her, and is brushing you off.  Let this one go. You can either walk quickly to catch up to her, or follow her until she reaches a crosswalk and has to stop. Walk a few blocks if you have to, in order to approach her in a calm and natural fashion.  Do not tap her on the back or startle her from behind.  This can come across as threatening. It would also be inappropriate and frightening to the woman if you were to run after her, or approach her all sweaty and out of breath. As Han Solo once advised, “fly casual.” There is a huge difference between following a person for a few blocks in order to catch up and introduce yourself, and stalking someone.  Do not follow the girl for more than two or three blocks, and pay close attention to her signals.  If she does not make it easy for you to catch up to her, she is most likely not interested.  If the girl seems to be speeding up, making it hard for you to catch up, she is aware of your approach, and trying to shake you off. If she gets out her phone to make a call, this is another strategy for shaking off an unwanted advance.  Take it as a hint to back off and leave her alone. Do not try to follow her until she is done with her call, or the next call she makes could be to the police. Don’t follow a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте установить зрительный контакт, когда проходите мимо. Снова посмотрите на девушку, чтобы понять, обратила ли она на вас внимание. Развернитесь и подойдите к девушке сбоку. Не крадитесь за девушкой.


If a guy is giving you signals, return them by getting a little snuggly on your end. Try to sit close to him at social events. When talking to him between classes or during lunch, stand a little closer to him than you normally would. This sends the signal you like him back and enjoy being near him. Solo time with your crush can help you assess if he likes you. It can also send the message you're interested in him as well. Try to find ways to get him alone so the two of you can have a chance to make your feelings clear. For example, text him something like, "I'm really craving a burger. Want to run and get a snack after class?" Paying a guy you think likes you extra attention on social media can let him know you like him back. Try leaving comments on his pictures and posts on sites like Instagram and Facebook. Respond to his tweets on Twitter and re-tweet the ones you find interesting. Work in some mild flirtation with your comments. For example, "Cute pic! Blue is a great color on you." If he flirts with you, flirt back. Common flirting tactics include making eye contact, flashing a smile, flashing your eyebrows, and casual touching. If these gestures are coming your way, return them. For example, if your crush brushes your arm, wait a few moments. Then, do something like tussle his hair or place your hand on his knee. Remember, if a guy already likes you, you don't need to change. Be your unique self around him and don't be afraid to let your inhibitions down. Feel free to get a little goofy or wild around him, as this is likely to endear you to him more. For example, if you're a fan of a certain musical artist that's a little obscure, don't be afraid to talk about this in front of the guy. If you like a unique type of movie, invite him to watch these movies with you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Станьте ближе. Найдите повод провести с ним время наедине. Флиртуйте с ним через социальные сети. Отвечайте на знаки внимания. Будьте собой.


If a guy is interested in you, even if he's ignoring you, he's going to want to be around you. You'll notice that every time you turn around, it seems he's somewhere nearby. Again, even if he's ignoring you, if he's interested he's going to make sure to ignore you nearby.  If he remembers what you tell him, that is one of the best signs. That means that not only was he listening to what you were saying, that he cared enough to remember it. If he's only in it for sex or for his own ego, he might pretend like he's listening, but he probably won't actually be listening. Make sure that you listen to him as well. He'll love that you're interested in him and that you remember what he says to you. It'll show that you think he's important. A lot of times if a guy's into you he's going to be a bit nervous around you. This is because he wants to make a good impression on you, so he's going to be trying to act cool.  Look for things like unexplained laughter, sweaty palms, or fidgeting but if he's keeping you in the friend zone, then don't bother with him. He might have a little difficulty maintaining eye contact with you without becoming a little uncomfortable. Do your best to make him comfortable. Tell him about that time you spilled a drink all over yourself at your work party, or something to make you seem human and not inhumanly awesome. If a guy likes you he's going to want to impress you and he's going to want to be there for you. If a guy is doing nice things for you he's probably a little bit interested in you, especially if those things are coupled with some of the other signs.  He might do something like lend you his jacket when you're cold, or he might offer to buy your coffee drink even though you aren't dating, or he might offer to drive you to the airport when you have to catch a flight. Do nice things back to him. This way he'll see that you are someone who doesn't take other people for granted and that you notice and appreciate what it is that he's doing. If you aren't interested in him try not to take...

TL;DR in Russian:

Парень держится рядом с вами. Парень волнуется рядом с вами. Парень старается угодить вам. Парень делает вам комплименты.


If a guy likes you and you’re in conversation, he might ask you a bunch of questions.  If he’s smooth, then you may not even notice it. He’s fishing for a similar interest that you two can share. Embrace a common interest if he becomes excited. Ask him questions in return to see if he is a phony or not. Sometimes men will change their tone of voice depending on who they talk to. Listen to him in a group with his guy friends. Then see if he talks the same way to you when you’re alone. If he does talk the same, it doesn’t necessarily mean he isn’t into you. His voice should soften ever so slightly. Some people naturally mumble. When guys like someone and they’re prone to mumble, you might hear it. This is more characteristic of a shy guy. If you’re in this scenario and want him to relax, rest your hand on his shoulder or his upper forearm. A lot of times if you both like each other, it doesn’t matter what you talk about. Two people who like each other can go on and on about the most mundane topics. Think back on your conversations. Recall if the subject matter was bleak, but your body chemistry is excited. If this guy likes you and you like him, try calling him on the phone. Why wait for the guy to initiate things. Take control and call him. See if the conversation moves naturally. Some people aren’t phone people, but you can sometimes tell if they’re trying to make an effort.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на то, какие вопросы он задает. Обратите внимание на тон голоса. Обратите внимание на невнятность произношения. Обратите внимание на обыденность ваших разговоров. Разговаривайте по телефону.


If a guy really likes you and is ready for and available for a relationship, it will be obvious to you. Otherwise, he is either stringing you along, is not ready for a relationship for some reason, or does not want to tell you the truth himself. He may have gotten hurt in his last relationship and is still healing from that experience, or he may simply not be interested for whatever reason. It’s not your job to try to figure out why he’s not calling, or to try to fix the situation. If you constantly have to reassure yourself that he’ll come around eventually if you just wait a little bit longer, you are likely in a one-sided relationship. Some say that distance makes the heart grow fonder, but most likely his distance is only making him seem more enticing to you, while he is free to come and go as he pleases.  Some behavioral signs to watch for include one partner taking an interest more than the other such as by doing things like asking about their life/day, inviting them to events, asking about what they like/prefer, etc. Another sign might be one person prioritizing the relationship more than the other such as by checking in about plans, thinking of the other person prior to making plans, setting aside time for phone calls or dates, etc. If you find yourself listening to sad songs on the radio, and staring at the phone which may never ring, you are likely in a one-sided relationship. It’s dangerous to change yourself to conform to what you think he wants. Take it seriously if trusted friends and family members comment to you about how you’re changing to “get a guy.” Changing yourself for someone else isn’t going to lead to a healthy relationship. Besides, it’s a lot more enjoyable to be with someone who knows, admires, and cares about the real you. Often, actions speak louder than words, and when you stop making excuses for him and see his uninterested behavior for what it really is, you will free yourself to find a more balanced relationship with someone who deserves your love. After all, you deserve...

TL;DR in Russian:

Перестаньте оправдывать его поведение. Узнайте признаки односторонних отношений. Не пытайтесь быть тем, кем вы не являетесь. Обращайте внимание на тревожные сигналы, которые вы игнорировали. Будьте честны с собой. Признайте свои чувства. Относитесь к себе по-доброму. Цените себя.


If a guy you are dating is physically abusive, he is not right for you. You should leave a physically abusive relationship as soon as you can. Seek support from friends, family, or by calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Domestic violence includes physical abuse such as:  Slapping, kicking, punching, biting, choking, and pulling hair Harming you with weapons Hurting your children Not allowing you to eat or sleep Preventing you from getting medical attention after the abuse Forbidding you from calling the police Abandoning you in a place that is unfamiliar Forcing you to use alcohol or drugs Forcing you to have sex or perform sexual acts If you are in a relationship with a guy who is emotionally abusive, he is not right for you. You should leave an emotionally abusive relationship as soon as possible and seek help from friends, family, or your local domestic violence center. This type of domestic violence often evolves into physical abuse. Emotional and psychological abuse can include:  Humiliating or embarrassing you Constantly putting you down Making mean jokes or regularly making fun of you Withdrawing affection Guilt trips Using money as a way to control you Constantly calling or texting you when you are not with him Isolating you from friends and family If you're dating someone who has another significant other, like a wife, husband, girlfriend, or boyfriend, you should reconsider the relationship. This is especially true if the guy promises to break up with his significant other, but does not. If he only contacts you sporadically, or relies predominately on email, text, or social media to make plans, it could be a sign he's not that into you. This is also the case if he only wants to see you when he wants something, like money, sex, or a shoulder to cry on.

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте мужчин, которые применяют к вам физическое насилие. Изучите признаки эмоционального и психологического насилия. Откажитесь от свиданий с человеком, который уже состоит в отношениях. Остерегайтесь парней, которые общаются с вами лишь изредка.


If a linear equation has one integral solution, then it must have infinitely many integral solutions. Here is a brief algebraic statement of the proof:  Ax+By=C{\displaystyle Ax+By=C}  A(x+B)+B(y−A)=C{\displaystyle A(x+B)+B(y-A)=C} ….. (Adding a B to x while subtracting A from y results in the same solution.) The pattern of infinite solutions begins with the single solution that you identified. In this case, your solution is the coordinate pair (x,y)=(−75,−102){\displaystyle (x,y)=(-75,-102)}. To find a new solution for x, add the value of the coefficient of y.  In this problem, beginning with the solution x=-75, add the y coefficient of -64, as follows: x=−75+(−64)=−139{\displaystyle x=-75+(-64)=-139}  Thus, a new solution for the original equation will have the x value of -139. To make the equation remain balanced, when you add to the x term, you must then subtract from the y term.  For this problem, beginning with the solution y=-102, subtract the x coefficient of 87, as follows: y=−102−87=−189{\displaystyle y=-102-87=-189}  Thus, a new solution for the original equation will have the y coordinate of -189. The new ordered pair should be (x,y)=(−139,−189){\displaystyle (x,y)=(-139,-189)}. To verify that your new ordered pair is a solution to the equation, insert the values into the equation and see if it works.  87x−64y=3{\displaystyle 87x-64y=3} 87(−139)−64(−189)=3{\displaystyle 87(-139)-64(-189)=3} 3=3{\displaystyle 3=3} Because the statement is true, the solution works. The values for x will fit a pattern of the original solution, plus any multiple of the B coefficient. You can write this algebraically as follows:  x(k)=x+k(B), where x(k) represents the series of all x solutions, and x is the original x value that you solved.  For this problem, you can say: x(k)=−75−64k{\displaystyle x(k)=-75-64k}   y(k)=y-k(A), where y(k) represents the series of all y solutions, and y is the original y value that you solved.  For this problem, you can say: y(k)=−102−87k{\displaystyle y(k)=-102-87k}

TL;DR in Russian:

Уясните, что существует бесконечное множество решений. Запишите исходные значения «x» и «y». Прибавьте коэффициент «B» к значению «x». Вычтите коэффициент «A» из значения «y». Проверьте решение. Запишите выражения для нахождения множества решений.


If a mildew smell is noticeable when you first turn the A/C on, this method may help. The 3% solution sold in stores will work.  Do not use alcohol, as this is flammable and could start a fire. Do not use bleach, as those fumes are toxic and bleach could damage the unit. While safer than bleach or alcohol, hydrogen peroxide should still be clearly labelled and kept out of the reach of children. Spray the intake area and outflow area on the front of the unit.  Avoid getting spray in eyes or inhaling it.  Once it settles on surfaces, the fumes are no longer a concern. Rinse hands after spraying. Then turn the unit back on. Spraying when the unit is turned off for the night is ideal, as that allows plenty of time to dry before morning. If this method isn't sufficient, remove the filter, with the unit off, and spray further inside the unit.  Place a drip tray underneath the unit to catch any drips, which might otherwise bleach carpet, fabric, or wood. A turkey basting tray is one possible option. Before the condensate evaporates, that's the ideal breeding period for microbes.  While the unit is on, the temperature extremes and continuous flow of condensate washing old water outside (you may see it dripping) prevents the build-up of microbes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Замечайте следы и запах плесени. Налейте перекись водорода в аэрозольный флакон. Отключите устройство. Дождитесь, когда перекись высохнет. При необходимости выполните более глубокую очистку. Не нужно часто включать и выключать кондиционер.


If a new, cute guy has just approached you, smile softly at him. You don't want to seem overly eager or too enthusiastic. This might scare him away. Just grin at him, batting your eyelashes a few times. He'll know that you are at least somewhat interested in him but aren't desperate for his company. This will make you seem approachable without seeming overzealous. This works on a guy across the room as well. If you see a guy who you want to come talk to you, smile at him across the room, making eye contact. This will send out the signal that you see him and are open to him talking to you. Using your eyes is a great way to attract the attention of a guy. When you first meet a guy, don't stare at him too much and look over too eager for his company. Bat your eyes at him, looking away only to sneak looks back at him. This will let him know you are interested and playful but not desperate. Give him a smoldering look as he says something nice to you. You want him to know that you like what you are seeing when you look at him. If you are on your morning train commute or in the grocery store and you see a guy you like, try making eye contact. When he looks up at you, hold his gaze for a second, but then look away. Then, look back at him and wait for him to look back at you. Once you catch his eye again, smile at him shyly and then look away again. Try to let him know your interested without looking desperate. He will eventually get that you think he's cute and come talk to you. Coming off as coy has a lot of do with your body language. When you interact with him, you want to let him know you are interested without telling him. Stand or sit closer to him as you talk. When you want to tell him something, lean closer to him and say it in his ear. Find a way to touch him, such as leaning on him for support while you fix your shoe or try to regain your balance. When you are thinking about an answer to a question, bite your lip or put your finger near your mouth. This will make you look alluring. Being subtle in your body...

TL;DR in Russian:

Робко улыбнитесь ему. Флиртуйте при помощи глаз. Используйте язык тела. Измените свой гардероб. Играйте с волосами.


If a nuclear attack does happen, it won't be safe to venture outside for food — you should stay sheltered for at least 48 hours, preferably longer. Having food and medical supplies on-hand can put your mind at-ease, and allow you to focus on other aspects of survival. Non-perishables can last several years, whether it's in storage or in sustaining you after an attack.  Choose items that contain a lot of carbohydrates, so you get more caloric bang  for your buck, and store them in a cool, dry place.  White rice Wheat Beans Sugar Honey Oats Pasta Powdered milk Dried fruits and vegetables Build your supply slowly.  Every time you go to the grocery store, pick up one or two more items for your food storage.  Eventually, you should be able to build up a multi-month supply. Make sure you have a can opener for canned items. Consider keeping a water supply in food-grade plastic containers.  Clean the containers with a bleach solution, then fill them with filtered and distilled water.  Aim to have one gallon per person per day. For purifying water in the event of an attack, keep basic household bleach and potassium iodide (Lugol's solution) on-hand. Being able to stay informed, as well as alerting others to your position, can be vitally valuable.  Here's what you might need:  A radio: Try to find one that's crank- or solar-powered.  If you have to go with a battery-operated model, be sure to keep spare batteries on-hand.  Consider getting an NOAA weather radio as well — this will broadcast emergency information 24 hours a day.  A whistle: You can use this to signal for help. Your cell phone:  Cell service may or may not be maintained, but you'll want to be ready if it is.  If you can, find a solar charger for your model. Having a few medical items available could be the difference between life and death if you're injured in the attack.  You'll need:  A basic first aid kit: You can purchase these pre-packaged, or make one yourself.  You'll need sterile gauze and bandages, antibiotic ointment, latex gloves, scissors,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте план. Запаситесь продуктами, которые не являются скоропортящимися. У вас должен быть запас воды. У вас должны быть средства связи. Запаситесь медикаментами. Подготовьте другие предметы. Следите за новостями. Оцените риск и рассмотрите возможность эвакуации, если обмен ядерными ударами выглядит вполне реальным. Узнайте о разных типах ядерного оружия:


If a parent is homozygous for the genes determining eye color, that means that they have 2 copies of the same allele. If a parent is heterozygous for eye color, then they have 2 different alleles for that gene. The most dominant allele is the one that will be expressed (the eye color you will see, or the phenotype). An allele is a variant form of a gene and alleles are found on the same place on a chromosome. The goal of analyzing additional family members is to attempt to discern whether parents are homozygous or heterozygous. If a parent is homozygous, there is a 100% chance that they will pass the gene for their eye color to the child. However, that drops to 50% for a particular gene if the parent is heterozygous.  For example, blue eyes indicate a homozygous parent because the gene that expresses blue eye color is a recessive gene. Brown eyes can be homozygous or heterozygous because the gene that expresses brown eye color is a dominant gene. Polygenic traits are traits that rely on more than 1 gene for expression. This means that several genes influence eye color, making predictions based on the parents’ eye color even less certain. With that in mind, it is still a good starting point for an educated prediction. For example, if both parents have blue eyes, they will both pass a gene for blue eyes to the child. This means that in the vast majority of cases, that child will have blue eyes. However, in rare cases, other genes change the color of the eye from blue to brown, hazel, or green.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, чем гетерозиготы отличаются от гомозигот. Учтите любые дополнительные данные. Учтите, что цвет глаз имеет полигенную природу.


If a partner is not loyal, a relationship quickly becomes unworkable. People do recover from an affair but usually need professional help to do it. Make a commitment to be faithful and stick to it. If you’re not happy in the relationship, get counseling and not a part-time lover.  If you’re faithful to someone, it means you’re faithful on all levels. This means physically but also emotionally. Some people think it’s okay to establish intimate bonds even though they may just be spending time with another person and nothing else, but it’s really not. It will eventually cause problems in your relationship. Be clear with appropriate boundaries as much as possible. What is appropriate varies from culture to culture, and often with one's age. But it all comes down to understanding what is respectful, clear, and comfortable to ask from a romantic relationship. Dating a person once is not a committed relationship, for instance. If asking a person out on a date, make sure that is clear; it can be awkward if a woman is not entirely sure she is at a restaurant as a friend or as a date. Be clear on if you see your sexual relationship as more casual or more serious. Some people are comfortable with "booty calls" and "friends with benefits" types of relationships. Others see sexual relations as a very deeply emotional act done only with someone committed to a relationship (or after marriage). There are wide varieties of behaviors considered a "committed relationship," from traditional marriage, to "live-in boyfriend or girlfriend", to more radical "open marriages," and polyamory. A person seeking a traditional marriage may be disappointed if the partner is looking for something else. Likewise, someone seeking something else may be disappointed if the partner is looking for a traditional marriage. Trust builds in an atmosphere of security and safety. The cycle of hurting each other, either verbally or physically, and then rejecting the other person, creates a lot of fear; which undermines trust. Furthermore, trying to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте верны своему партнеру. Будьте добры к своему партнеру и дайте ему личное пространство. В ваших отношениях с партнером не должно быть скрытых мотивов — только любовь. Отношения должны быть у вас в приоритете. Не опускайте руки.


If a patient is suspected of having Chikungunya, their blood will be taken in order to perform a special type of blood test called an ELISA test. This test is used to detect the presence of immune antibodies in the system, which could indicate the presence of chikungunya. Your blood serum will also be tested to check for the presence of Chikungunya viral RNA, however this can usually only be found in the first 5 to 8 days following infection. The World Health Organization has also provided some criteria to confirm a Chikungunya fever diagnosis. These include:  Presence of fever above 38.5 degree Celsius (101.3 degrees Fahrenheit), and presence of severe joint or muscle pain without any other medical or orthopedic conditions. Person visited epidemic area 15 days before infection. Presence of positive laboratory tests, as described above.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сдайте кровь на иммуносорбентный анализ с применением фиксированных ферментов ELISA. Сделайте лабораторный анализ сыворотки крови. Для подтверждения диагноза следуйте критериям оценки ВОЗ.


If a person expresses disagreement with or disapproval of you in a way that makes you feel shameful and guilty, or if they call you names or attack you in some other way, they’re likely being a destructively critical frenemy. When a true friend disagrees with you or your actions, they are instead constructively critical. This usually involves offering loving advice and help that doesn’t leave you feeling judged.  Frenemies often mask their destructive criticism with humor.  A frenemy may even have something negative or critical to say about your accomplishments and good fortune, or they might blame you for their own failures or misfortunes. While a true friend always keeps your wants and needs in mind, a frenemy will rarely make an effort to make your life easier or better. For example, if you’ve been a vegetarian for years and the person invites you and others over for a meat-heavy dinner with no alternative options, then they’re likely being purposely inconsiderate. While it may not seem like it on the surface, a person who gives you lots of attention, tells you their secrets, and asks you personal questions right away probably doesn’t have your best interest at heart. Recognize immediate obsession with you as a red flag.  Frenemies try to get too close to you too soon because they want you to feel tied to them. They’re probably giving you attention because they want it back for themselves. Frenemies are often masters at the art of backhanded compliments, which are those compliments that sound okay at first but turn out to be offensive. If this sounds familiar, you might have a frenemy on your hands. For example, they may say something like: "I like it when you wash your hair; that's when it looks pretty." This is suggesting that you are ugly without your hair washed. When trying to figure out if someone is your frenemy, listen to your instincts. How does being with this person leave you feeling? Use your feelings to identify whether or not this is a healthy, positive, genuine relationship.  If you feel...

TL;DR in Russian:

Уничтожающая критика. Недостаток внимания. Внезапный и настойчивый интерес к вам. Сомнительные комплименты. Оцените свои чувства после общения с человеком.


If a person likes you, you may notice them staring at you, smiling at you, or trying to make contact with you. If someone has a crush on you, he/she will probably find excuses to touch you more than usual. If the person is shy, he/she might show attraction by avoiding you. If the person is more confident and forward, he/she might show attraction by giving you a lot of noticeable attention. If you often catch the person gazing back at you, this is a sign that they like you. Do they hold the stare intensely for several seconds? Do they shyly look away? Do they smile at you? All of these are signs that they like you. Read their eyes for interest. If they like you and they're staring at you in class, they probably won't be doing so with a blank expression. See if you can tell whether the person is legitimately checking you out, or simply staring off into space. If someone laughs at your jokes, even when they aren't funny, it may indicate that he/she likes you. It doesn't necessarily mean that the person has a full-fledged crush on you, but it often signals that there is some level of attraction. If someone likes you, you might notice their demeanor change. They will notice when you walk into the room, and they might make an effort to make a good impression on you. He/She might run his hand through his hair, or stutter a bit, or try extra hard to be funny. He/she might laugh a lot, or make an effort to be especially nice to you.  When they're with their friends, do they shrug you off, or do they invite you to hang out with the group? If they shrug you off, they probably don't like you. However, if they invite you to hang out, they probably at least find you an interesting person – and they may even have a "crush" on you. If you notice her friends giggling and whispering as you walk by, there's a decent chance that she likes you. If you notice him and his group of friends go quiet as you pass, it might be because they're talking about you! If you've seen this person staring at you once or twice, don't automatically...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обращайте внимание на признаки, которые указывают на то, что вы нравитесь человеку. Посмотрите мельком на него во время урока. Обращайте внимание на то, если человек много смеется. Обращайте внимание на поведение человека в вашем присутствии. Будьте осторожны, делая какие-либо предположения.


If a recent change to your system caused errors in your registry, you can revert your computer's settings using a Restore Point. There are a couple of different ways to open the System Restore window:  Click the start menu and type "restore". Select "System Restore" from the list of results. Press ⊞ Win+Pause and click the "Advanced system settings" link. Click the System Protection tab. Click the System Restore button. If your computer has System Restore enabled, Windows will select the most recent restore point. Restore points are created when major changes to the system are made. If you don't have any restore points, click here to try another method.  Click the "Show more restore points" box to see previous restore points if the error has been around for a while. Each restore point will have a timestamp as well as a brief description of why the restore point was created. Scan for affected programs. This will show you all of the programs and drivers that will be deleted from the computer, as well as programs that will likely not work correctly after restoring. A system restore will not affect any of your personal files. Next and then Finish to start the restore process. This may take a few minutes. Your computer will reboot once the restore is complete.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте окно Восстановление системы. Выберите точку восстановления. Нажмите «Поиск затрагиваемых программ». Нажмите «Далее» и затем «Готово», чтобы начать процесс восстановления.


If a recipe calls for fresh thyme and you only have dried, or vice versa, don’t worry. You can substitute either kind of thyme for the other quite simply. Six fresh thyme sprigs are equivalent to 3/4 teaspoon (3.75 g) of dried thyme. If your recipe calls for thyme sprigs, your washed thyme is ready to use. If the recipe calls for thyme leaves, run your pinched fingers down the stem to strip the leaves, while holding one end in the opposite hand. If the recipe calls for chopped fresh thyme, place the leafy stems on a clean cutting board and chop them into bits with a sharp knife. Remove and discard any large, woody pieces of stem. Cut the stems on the diagonal, then slip the thyme ends into a water glass, as you would flowers in a vase, until you are ready to use it. Place the glass in the refrigerator and change the water every other day. Thyme can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Alternatively, you can wrap fresh thyme in a damp paper towel and store it in the refrigerator. Herbs and spices stored in glass or metal are better preserved than those stored in plastic. However, a glass bottle won’t affect the flavor of the herb, while plastic and metal can. A dark glass bottle is better than a clear glass bottle, which doesn’t protect the herbs from sunlight as well. Keep thyme in a cool, dark area such as in a corner cabinet in your kitchen. Though many people store herbs and spices in the cabinet above their stove, this isn’t ideal. They also shouldn’t sit out on the counter, or be stored in the fridge. Moisture, temperature changes, and direct sunlight can all shorten the lifespan of dried herbs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помните о пропорциях свежего и сушеного тимьяна. Прочтите рецепт, чтобы знать, как подготовить свежий тимьян. Поставьте свежий тимьян в стакан с водой, чтобы он сохранился дольше. Используйте темную стеклянную тару для сушеного тимьяна. Храните сушеный тимьян в прохладном сухом месте, которое не подвергается воздействию солнечных лучей.


If a regular structure to your day helped you get through the initial withdrawal period, it may also help you conquer your addiction long-term. Adjust your schedule as necessary, but keep the good habits that you’ve developed already. Make sure you continue to manage any medications you are taking and have regular trips to your medical doctor. Don’t stop taking advantage of these resources just because you are feeling better. Recovery from addiction is a process, so continue to check in with your doctor, therapist, or support group.  If this begins to feel burdensome, try thinking of it like eating right or exercising. It’s something you do regularly to stay healthy, even when you’d rather not. Thinking about the rest of your life can be overwhelming, so stop and celebrate your accomplishments periodically: two weeks clean, a month, three months, a year.  After even a day or week sober you can treat yourself to something you enjoy like a nice dinner or a trip to the beach. Focus on what you have done well and take the time to set goals for the next week. After a month of sobriety you can celebrate by having a clean and sober party (with no alcohol, drugs). Build healthy friendships and stronger personal relationships. Resist the urge to start spending time with the people with whom you used to use amphetamines.  You can set specific boundaries with individuals who use amphetamines by saying something like, "I am focusing on my sobriety and am still in the early stages of recovery,  so I can't be around people who use right now. It is too risky for me and I hope you will understand that." Cultivate new relationships with individuals who do not use alcohol or drugs or any kind. Try signing up for a gym, dance class, church group, or any other social activity. If you notice increased cravings, feelings of hopelessness, or a lot of additional stress, you may be at risk for a relapse. During these times, it is especially important to avoid people, places, and situations you associate with amphetamine use.  Stay...
