Once you realize that comparing yourself to others doesn’t work in your favor, you’ll look for additional measures of your success.  If you start to feel and express gratitude for the gifts that you do have, you will shift your focus from others to yourself. Spend more of your time focusing on the positive and good in your life. You may find that you start noticing more of it when you're not busy comparing yourself to others. A gratitude journal is a way to remind yourself of what you have. This will help you look at things that you may have taken for granted. Then, you can give appreciation to them. Think about several of your best memories. They can be things you did, places you went, friends, you spent time with, whatever makes you most happy. Focus on being grateful for those things.  By keeping a gratitude journal you can increase your chances of success.  However, just going through the motions without motivation will work against you. You need to force yourself to look at things you may have taken for granted and give appreciation to them.  Make the decision to acknowledge the depth of your gratitude and enhance your life. Write in depth. Instead of just making a laundry list of things, give a thorough explanation of a few things that make you feel grateful. Write about surprises or unexpected events. This will give you a chance to savor the good feelings that you experienced. You don’t need to write every day. In fact, writing a couple of times a week might be more beneficial than writing every day. By being kinder and less harsh with yourself, you will encourage yourself to go the extra mile and to try harder. It is tough to resist comparing yourself to others. But you are ultimately in control of your life. You make choices to lead your life in a particular way. You make decisions that are best for you, not for anybody else. It doesn’t matter what other people do or have. You are the one that matters in the course of your life.


Сосредоточьтесь на том, чтобы получать удовольствие вместо того, чтобы искать спутника жизни. Расставьте приоритеты в том, что вам нужно и чего вы хотите от мужчины. Пригласите парня на свидание, если он вам интересен. Уделяйте мужчине безраздельное внимание во время свидания. Узнайте парня получше, прежде чем вычеркивать его их списка потенциальных партнеров. Не судите новых партнеров на основе поступков ваших бывших. Поддерживайте взаимную независимость после того, как начнете отношения.

While your ultimate dating goal might be to find the perfect guy for you, you’ll be more successful if you just try to have fun. Pick dates that you’ll enjoy, then spend the time making a connection with the guy. Take your time to get to know him so that the relationship can develop into something meaningful. For instance, play mini golf, go bowling, attend a concert, have a picnic, go rock climbing, or tour a local museum. Knowing what you want in a partner helps you narrow your focus to guys that fit the bill. Make a list of what you absolutely need in a partner, then write a separate list of wants that would be nice to have. Next, prioritize both lists so you know what’s non-negotiable and what you’re willing to compromise. For example, you might need a guy that’s caring, honest, and open-minded. Additionally, you might want him to have a job he enjoys, to like cats, and to enjoy hiking. You might be nervous to make the first move, but it can help you get a great guy. If you’re interested in someone, invite him to do something fun that you’ll both enjoy, like watching a local band play. Alternatively, ask him to join you for coffee. Say, “Do you want to check out this show with me on Friday?” or “I’m headed over to Good Beans for a cup of coffee. Wanna join me?” Put your phone away so you can be in the moment with your guy. Listen to what he has to say and show interest in what he’s talking about. This will show him that you really care about him and want to get to know him. Expect him to do the same for you. If he’s on his phone, let him know it bothers you. Say, “Are you okay with putting our phones away during our date?” If he continues to use his phone, he might not be the right guy for you. People are usually nervous when they’re first meeting people, and it’s hard to get to know someone quickly. Because of that, it’s important to spend time with a guy before you make conclusions about him. If you think a guy might be a good match, go on several dates with him to see if something is there. If you meet...


Сосредоточьтесь на учебе. Оставьте романтические фантазии о преподавателе. Ограничьте взаимодействия с преподавателем. Задействуйте метод планирования "если, то".

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The reason you are in school is to learn and get a proper education, so take the energy you would normally spend thinking about your teacher and re-focus on it and also on your work. You’ll see improvements in your academic performance and it will take your mind off your teacher. Thoughts frequently lead to action and visualizing something makes it more likely to occur and people will see you. Thinking about your teacher increases your chances of doing something you might later regret. Try focusing on things about your teacher that you don't like. The idea here is not to dwell on the negatives, but to remind yourself that the relationship was not as perfect as you remember it being, e.g. Age difference, appearances. Interact with your teacher in class, but do not seek them out or try to spend time with them outside of your designated class time. It just isn't right for you, especially as they are probably quite a bit older than you. It is generally okay to date a person older than you in later life, but a young person dating an older teacher is often considered inappropriate. Do not contact them on social media or try to meet with them outside of school. Respect their position as your teacher and give them the space that they need to do that job well. Making decisions in advance about how you will handle your impulses can help you to be more successful in conquering them. Think about how you’d like to act when talking to your teacher and then follow through on your plan.


Сосредоточьтесь на хороших моментах. Будьте откровенны относительно ваших отношений. Ведите себя корректно после разрыва. Не поддавайтесь мысли о своем бывшем, как о единственной и истинной любви.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You can help yourself and your ex cope by choosing to focus on the positive. Towards the end of the breakup conversation, try to focus on mutual benefit.  Emphasize all the good things your partner has done for you. Make sure she leaves the conversation feeling like the relationship was worthwhile even if it did not work out. Say something like, "You really made me feel good about myself and pushed me to be a kinder, more empathetic person. I will always be grateful for that."  Encourage gratitude. While acknowledge it may take some time, encourage your partner to cherish the good times you had together. Relationships are primarily social exchanges and people have a natural tendency to search for their benefits. Your partner will appreciate you helping him or her seek positives even as the relationship ends. As previously stated, it can be helpful to leave the door open for friendship. However, you do not want to give mixed messages. Be honest about what kind of contact you want to have with your ex. If you need some space before you can work on establishing a friendship, for example, say so. Do not try to force friendly meetings prematurely, as this can confuse you and your ex. You will need time and space before you're able to see one another without romantic attachments and associations. You will likely run into your ex at some point in the future. Be cordial and friendly during any encounters you might have. Remain emotionally prepared. Keep in mind as you go to work, school, and run errands you may run into your ex. This can help you stay calm and collected during the encounter. When in love, many people convince themselves the person they're with is their one true love. However, you need to let those feelings go after a breakup. In reality, there are many people with whom you would be potentially compatible. You will likely find someone else in the future, despite what you may be feeling in the present moment. Allow yourself to accept the fact the relationship ended for a reason and you will find...

List out the things you want to talk about. List the ways you were hurt, as well as specific examples. When you're in the heat of an argument or otherwise running on adrenaline from the anxiety of the discussion, it can be difficult to remember everything or get sidetracked or distracted. A list will help. It can also be helpful to tell him what you need or want to move forward. Rehearse what you are going to say in advance. You may write it down and read it aloud in front of a mirror. Or, you might ask the friend who gave you feedback to engage in a practice dialogue with you. When you confront the person, do so in a direct and honest manner. Don’t try to sugarcoat it or diminish the truth of how he made you feel. Also, there’s no need to beat around the bush—get straight to the heart of the matter. For example, you might say, “I was really hurt when you forgot my birthday last week. It made me feel unimportant to you.” You don't want to come across as sounding over-emotional or dramatic. Sounding like that makes it harder to take anyone seriously. Instead, keep calm and the discussion will go much easier. To have an effective dialogue with the other person, you want to prevent them from becoming defensive. You can try to do this by tailoring your words so that allow you to share what you’re feeling, without admonishing the other person. “I” statements can help you do that.  ”I” statement allow you to take ownership for your feelings: “I was really hurt when you forgot my birthday last week.” ”You” statements, on the other hand, increase the odds of the other person feeling attacked: “You don’t care about me! You forgot my birthday!” Don't make broad generalizations about things he does that hurt you. This is difficult for people to understand and sympathize with, especially when they're hurt. Instead, use specific examples. For example, avoid statements like "You always leave me to deal with the hard problems" and instead say "I was upset when you left me to deal with Bob this morning. You did that last...

If you make your schedule at the same time each day, planning will become part of your daily routine. Whether you review your task list when you drink your morning coffee or do it the night before, make planning out your schedule a daily ritual. You might find it helpful to plan out your week on Sunday night, then make adjustments and organize daily task lists each night or morning. Whether it’s a notebook, planner, or app, always keep your schedule handy. If you let it collect dust, you’re less likely to stick to your time management goals.  If you use an app, install it and sync your account on all the electronic devices you use. Try using a desktop or home screen widget to pin tasks to your electronic devices’ main displays. It’s also helpful to post a whiteboard or calendar in your work area with at-a-glance information, like key dates and weekly goals. As simple as it sounds, making a check next a completed task is super satisfying. Marking off a completed task can give you a sense of progress and help you keep a bird’s-eye view of your responsibilities. Don’t panic if you don’t complete all your tasks. If something slipped through the cracks today, revise your schedule and make it tomorrow’s priority. When you have something to look forward to, it’s easier to complete tasks, especially those that are tedious or boring. For example, if you have a full day of presentations, meetings, and deadlines, reward yourself with breaks, an ice cream cone, or another small treat. In addition to small rewards for completing individual tasks, give yourself a big treat after a productive day. Take a long, soothing bath, play video games, watch a movie, or do another activity that you most enjoy. If you’re prone to surfing the web or browsing social media, download an app like StayFocused or Focusbar. These apps block distracting websites during times that you’ve designated for work. It’s also helpful to keep your phone in your pocket or bag instead of on your desk. It’s there if you need it, but keeping it out of sight...


Составляйте расписание в соответствии со своими приоритетами. Начинайте с самых больших задач. Делите каждую задачу на части. Прежде чем делать, подумайте. Делите свой день на блоки. Уделяйте время отдыху.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Avoid keeping a long list of tasks that keeps getting longer. Instead, integrate your to-do list into your daily schedule. When you learn of a new task, break it into parts and write each part down under the date that you will do it. Make sure you note its deadline, in case you don't get to it on time.  You might want to keep a schedule of daily tasks and a to-do list of running projects, but consider keeping a weekly to-do and a monthly to-do instead of one long list. Keeping a list of unscheduled tasks leads will cause you to burn out on your projects before you even do them. Start your day by tackling the most important item on your agenda. Schedule the first order of business to be the one thing you absolutely must accomplish that day. That way, if you are interrupted later, you will have at least done the most important thing. Anything that is due or is especially important is a good candidate for a first task. Schedule every part of each task, including emails you have to send, planning you have to do, and items you need to get. Otherwise you might waste time sitting down to accomplish something only to realize you are missing essential ingredients. Before you start each task, spend a few minutes thinking about what you want your end result to be. This will help you be more directed and focused. Write your goals for each day or each task down in your planner, or simply sit and think. If you are working with someone, state your goals aloud. Devote each block to one task. Multitasking is less efficient as a rule. Focus on one project, even if that project has diverse parts, during each block. Scheduling time off sounds counterintuitive, but it will help. Do not plan on overworking yourself. Working through exhaustion and bodily needs should only happen in emergencies. Schedule short breaks every 45 minutes to an hour, as this is as long as most people can focus.  Take time away from your desk or computer. Schedule time with loved ones, time to prepare meals, and time to be alone. If you are prone to...

You might think, “There’s no way I’ll forget that!” and yet, under stress, you may forget even the most basic things. Write a list of what needs to be bought, packed, accomplished, and arranged before you leave. Start well in advance so you don’t get stuck doing loads of laundry the day you leave.  Let someone else look over the list to make sure that you haven't forgotten anything. Put reminders where you need them. For example, write a list of bathroom items you need and put it on your bathroom mirror so that you can collect all of the items at once. Put sticky notes onto necessary items you need to bring or put a list of things you need on the door. If you need to find a pet sitter, do this well before you leave on your trip. If you are running out of your prescription medication, get a refill prior to leaving. Take stock of any arrangements that must be made before you leave for your trip and take care of them before you go. It’s best to take care of any details before traveling so you don’t have to think about them while you are away. Pay your bills and run any errands that are vital before leaving. You might be packing your stuff, your children’s things, and gifts for other people. Staying on top of that many things can be difficult, so use a bit of organization. Pack your suitcase with clothes ahead of time and make sure everything fits well. Chose simple, lightweight clothing and fold your clothes in a way that saves space in your suitcase. Decide whether to wrap the presents before or after traveling.   If you’re traveling in a car, consider having a bag within reach with certain items you may want or need on your journey. For heavy or bulky items, such as shoes or coats, choose one to take. Make sure the rest of your clothing matches this one item. If you’re on a schedule (like catching a bus, train, or airplane), plan for potential hazards to getting there. Plan ahead for traffic, running late, or toddler tantrums. Especially if you are traveling with children, prepare for any emergencies by having...

To get a better handle on your diet, you should sit down and write out a grocery list before you head to the grocery store. Consider choosing four to five healthy meals for the week and writing down the ingredients for these meals so you know exactly what you are getting and do not impulse buy when you are at the store. Think about the nutritional value of the items on your list. Go for more fruits, vegetables, healthy sources of protein, and healthy sources of dairy. Bring the list with you when you go shopping and stick to the getting only the items on your list. Stay in the outer areas of the grocery store, such as the produce and fresh food sections. Try not to spend time in the center or middle aisles, as they are often stocked with processed and prepackaged foods. You should also avoid picking up any of the unhealthy snacks at the check-out counter. Make a meal plan where you account for the majority of your meals for the week. Include any snacks you will eat throughout the day and try to limit yourself to only the foods noted in your meal plan.  Keep in mind it is important that your meal plan is reasonable and healthy. Rather than deprive yourself of all your favorite foods, see if you can integrate it into your meal plan in healthier ways. For example, if you love fried chicken, maybe you can include chicken in your meal plan and prepare it in healthier ways, such as baking or broiling it. This way, you can still enjoy this food without overindulging. Avoid skipping meals, as this can lead to more intense hunger and overeating when you do sit down to eat. Keep your meal plan consistent and have at least three meals a day at the same times every day.  You should also let yourself enjoy a treat once and awhile, as cutting yourself off entirely can lead to even more feelings of guilt, shame, and anxiety. You may have on small treat once a week as a way to keep your diet healthy but also enjoyable and reasonable. Another way to determine if you are eating based on emotion is to do the broccoli test,...

Tackling a fear can cause any person to lose confidence and avoid a situation that could otherwise help them build confidence. Employing the behavioral tactic of scripting can help you engage with otherwise scary situations and build courage. Scripting is a technique where you conceptualize a game plan or “script” for a specific situation and follow through with it. For example, if you are scared of speaking to your boss, write notes and develop a plan that will allow you to have equal command of the meeting. Think about what you could say in response to any questions or contingencies that may arise in your interaction. If you’re confronted with something that causes you fear or to lose courage, frame it in simple terms. Framing is a behavioral technique that can help you shape how you think and feel about specific situations by making them seem commonplace or banal.  For example, if you are afraid to swim in the ocean, you can reframe it as “this is just a very large pool and I will stay within this specific area.”  Working with smaller and more manageable units of anything will help build your courage. Every person is different and comparing yourself to other people can minimize your self-confidence. Focusing on yourself and not comparing yourself to others is essential to building your confidence and courage.  Keep it mind that while some people may possess courage in some situations, you likely possess it in others that they may not. If you get into a situation with someone who has courage in a situation that you don’t, for example if fellow teammate never seems to worry about letting others down and you do, think about something that you excel at that they don’t. Shifting the focus back to your ability can help you to see that you have courage. Many people may project courage in order to intimidate others. Don’t let another person’s courage or confidence undermine yours. Negative thoughts and attitudes are draining and if you give in to them, they will become stronger and undermine your confidence and...

Include your basic information, the position you play, and any accomplishments as a player. As with any resume, list anything relevant to your goals. If you worked at a football camp, or helped coach a little league team, include it in your resume. Include anything that might set you apart from the competition. Your goal is to make professional football your job, so build a resume to reflect that. Find any articles that mention you or your team, even if it's the local paper from your high school days. Find video footage of your team playing and look for plays where you excel. Have a friend or family member record you during your games to help you build a highlight reel. Send your press kit to teams you want to play for. Don't forget to follow up with the places you submit. Call or send an e-mail to let them know you're eager to play for them.  Be sure to thank any of the teams that pass you up. Let them know you appreciate their time and consideration. If you don't get picked up by any teams, don't give up. Find other leagues to join so you can keep gaining experience. Keep your resume and press kit updated and don't stop submitting. An agent can act as a link between you and the teams you may want to play for. Finding an agent to represent you could be the ticket to getting signed by the NFL. There are certain rules and regulations that agents must follow in regards to representing college players. Agents typically have to wait until the end of a player's college career before actively recruiting them.

In order to walk into any audition big or small, you need a resume and headshots. This tells the casting team how much experience you have, what kind of experience you have, and what you look like. When they’re going over hundreds of resumes, the headshot helps them remember what you look like.  A theatre resume is very similar to a career resume or CV. Look up some examples online or read wikiHow’s article on writing a theatre resume. As for headshots, they’re pretty simple. If you have a friend who’s a good photographer, you just need to get one good shot out of them. You only need one set of clothes and a plain backdrop. However, you can go the professional route and get a series taken, too. If you live in a big metropolitan area, there are probably casting calls and auditions held at least semi-regularly. Most areas have newsletters and websites dedicated to their city’s specific listings, though large organizations, like Backstage.com offer postings country-wide. The best way to find these auditions, though? Talk to people you know. An “open audition” means anyone can come. This is good news because you don’t have to sign up and it’s often lower caliber competition, but there’s more of it. They’re generally cattle calls. If it’s not an open audition, you’ll need to sign up and get the audition in the first place, so work towards those well before the scheduled date. You could swamp yourself in casting calls and auditions, but why do that when you should spend time honing your craft or making actual money? Have someone do the paperwork side of things for you – an agent. That way auditions sort of land in your pocket – you just have to get the role. And a good agent is free. Do not pay them before you land any gigs. They only get money when you get money. If they demand it beforehand, it’s a scam. With an agent and a list of open auditions (or an audition with your name on it), all you can do now is attend. If you’re auditioning to be an extra on a TV show, bring a bottle of water and some snacks – you...

To help you keep things straight, it can be beneficial to make a page for every main character in the story. You can write down things like the character's physical description, their backstory (what happened before the novel), their education level and job, and their personalities.  You can also include things like their quirks and idiosyncrasies. Having these pages to refer back to will help you keep the details straight while you're writing. "Likeable" characters tend to be goody-goodies without much depth. To create whole, interesting characters, they need flaws and weaknesses, while still allowing the reader to connect with them.  For flaws, maybe a character is always late, hates their mother, or doesn't get along with their colleagues. If you need examples, think about people you know or you've met in the past. You can make the characters empathetic in a number of ways. They can be having financial problems or be the victim in the story. You can display them being selfless, even when they act with self-interest at other times, such as having a killer who fawns over their cat. For instance, Sherlock Holmes isn't necessarily likeable. However, he's interesting, and readers find him empathetic because he is very intelligent and good at what he does. Typically, you don't want to point to just a single person in your story as the suspect. Where's the mystery in that? Instead, you should include a variety of people who could be suspects, as many as 5 or 6. Variety will keep things more interesting, as well as keep your readers guessing. Each potential suspect should have a different motive for killing the victim, and each one should be as plausible as the next. Otherwise, the writing can seem a bit flat. For instance, you don't want every suspect's motive to be killing the person for money. Instead, you could have one person's motive be they want to keep a secret quiet, another person's be they want the victim's money, while a third suspect's motive could be they were jealous of an affair the victim was...

Any preparation for your speech is better than none. If you can find a few minutes before you're put on the spot, jot down a couple of notes about what you want to say. These can be as simple as a few bullet points to remind yourself of the main points you want to say to keep on track. If you don't have time to write even a few notes, just make a quick mental outline, telling yourself something like: “First I'll say how generous Jim is. I'll tell the story about the time he fixed my flat tire in the middle of the night, then the one about how he baked me a birthday cake when I was sick in bed with the flu.” People are more likely to remember what comes at the beginning of your speech and at the very end rather than what's in the middle. Take advantage of this and give your strongest content at the beginning and end. For example, you could open and/or close with:  A moving story A convincing fact or statistic An inspiring quotation This is another formula that will help you organize your ideas without rambling. Start with the positive aspects of an issue, follow with the drawbacks, and then state your own position. For example, imagine you are asked to speak on the benefits of casual Fridays:  Begin by saying that casual Fridays boost morale, lead to greater productivity, and will make your company seem up to date. Follow up by acknowledging that casual Fridays mean that employees will appear less professional at the end of the week, and that they may need guidance on what kind of casual clothing is acceptable. End with your position that since most client meetings happen early in the week, casual Fridays overall will be good for your company and not create a disruption. If you're in a bind and can't think of something to say, or just feel too nervous about giving speech, think of yourself as the moderator of a discussion rather than a speaker. Open the floor up to others, and just field their questions.  You could start off with something like: “I know we've all been thinking about casual Fridays, and there...

. It may not sound very enjoyable, but learning how to  manage your money can make your life so much easier! Take some time to assess your income and expenses. Look for ways you can trim the fat and put some money away so you don't have to worry if an emergency comes up.  Start a savings account if you don't already have one. Setting up automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account will make it much easier to stick to the habit of putting money away. Don't deprive yourself of everything you enjoy just to save money. Instead, look for small things that you won't miss that much that end up costing you a lot of money over time. Premium television channels that you rarely watch are a great example. When life gets busy, it's easy to fall out of touch with friends and loved ones. Having strong social connections increases your sense of happiness, so it's important not to let these connections deteriorate.  Reach out to old friends and let them know you'd like to spend time together. Try designating chunks of time for social engagement, whether it's going to a party or having lunch with a close friend. Consider joining clubs or groups that will allow you to participate in a social activity on a regular basis. If it is incorporated into your regular schedule, it might be easier to stick to. If you have a romantic partner, it's critical to invest time into maintaining the health of the relationship. A healthy relationship can do wonders for your emotional well-being, but an unhealthy one can have the opposite effect. Openness is crucial to successful relationships. If you have a hard time opening up with your partner, start small by making a point of telling him or her about the things you did today and why you did them, or alternatively about how you are feeling and why. The more you practice, the more open you will naturally be in your relationship. . Try to develop an interest in at least one hobby, and then commit yourself to pursuing it on a regular basis.

Depending on your living situation, you may be splitting these expenses with a roommate or a partner. Your landlord may also pay for your heat, or you may pay for your electricity every month. Transportation. Are you walking to work every day? Biking? Taking the bus? Carpooling? Food. Factor the average amount per a week for meals for the month. Health care. It is important you have health insurance in the event of an incident or accident, as paying out of pocket will likely be more expensive than being covered. Do some research online to find the best insurance rates. Miscellaneous expenses. If you have a pet, this could be where you determine how much pet food will be for the month. If you and your partner go for a date night once a month, factor this in as an expense. Account for every expense you can think of so you do not spend money without knowing exactly where it is going. If you have any debt payments, add these to your budget under necessary expenses. A goal could be: new socks to replace your holey pairs. Or, replacing your broken cellphone. Having a goal when shopping, especially for discretionary items, will stop you from spontaneous purchases. Focuses on one essential item when shopping also gives you a clear budget for your shopping trip.  When food shopping, look at recipes beforehand and make a grocery list. This way, when you are in the store, you can stick to the list and know exactly how you are going to use every ingredient you buy. If you have a hard time sticking to a grocery list, try online grocery shopping. This will allow you to keep a running total of your purchases and be aware of exactly what you are spending. Ah, the irresistible lure of a deal! Retailers are counting on their customers to get sucked in by the sales rack. It’s important to resist the temptation to justify a buy just because its on sale. Even big discounts...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When your are contemplating a pregnancy, it is natural to have some hesitation. Try addressing the things that are causing you to pause. To begin, consider the financial ramifications of a pregnancy and of raising a child. Financial instability can contribute to emotional unpreparedness surrounding a pregnancy.  Children are expensive. And so is health care. It's essential to have the means to care for a child properly or you'll risk feeling overwhelmed and possibly even resentful. Discuss the financial details openly with your partner, including expectations about who will take time off work and when, if at all, the partner principally responsible for at-home baby care will return to work. If you choose to be a stay-at-home mom or dad, there will need to be very clear financial strategies set in place to ensure that this decision doesn't mean you're stretched beyond your abilities financially. Be realistic. Consider costs of doctor visits, food, clothing, daycare, etc. Try to reduce debt and save as much as possible before becoming pregnant. Many people are nervous about the physical impact of a pregnancy. Addressing this concern can help you feel more physically and emotionally ready for changes. Caring for the physical needs of your pregnant body can help to prepare you emotionally for a pregnancy.  Many women experience intense emotions as a result of hormone fluctuations and the dramatic changes that their bodies encounter during a pregnancy. Some women are shocked to find that they have "mommy brain" and can't think straight during some or all of the pregnancy. While this doesn't happen to all pregnant women, for those who do experience it, it can be very distracting. This might mean considering reduced duties if working, scheduling earlier bedtimes and getting help with things that you find tax your energy too much. By exercising regularly and eating healthy, you can take greater physical control over your body. In turn, this can help to create better emotional control. Get in the habit of getting some...


Составьте в уме список дел, которые необходимо сделать. Помедитируйте. Сделайте какое-нибудь реальное дело. Напишите статью о том, как убить время

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This is either a list of chores you either find yourself procrastinating about or just never have time for, that do not require a lot of preparation to begin.  When you have time to kill, you just might have the motivation to do them. Here are some examples:   Balance your checkbook. If you are waiting for an appointment and your checkbook is handy, you may be able to pull it out and take a look at the check register, totaling up the deposits and debits, and making sure the entries are up to date. Update your daily planner.  Many of these are on PDAs or other electronic devices, and old entries can be deleted to free up space from time to time. Clean out your cell phone's messages and old contacts.  If you have a cell phone with a bunch of old contact information, or that stores a lot of recent calls, missed calls, and voice and text messages, this might be a good time to clear all of the useless stuff out. Organize your purse or wallet.  Be careful that no one is observing you if you have a lot of cash or personal stuff that is pulled out; however, if there are few people around you, you may sort your credit cards, business cards, and other stuff to make things a bit easier to find when you need them. This probably should've been first on this page as it's one of the best ideas -- meditating can calm and relax you like nothing else. If you've never done it before, give it a shot! It only takes ten minutes of practically doing nothing. It is, however, something you'll get better at over time. Don't expect to reach nirvana the first time you try it right before your dentist appointment. Getting adequately zenned is a skill that comes with practice. Whether it's a homework or cooking dinner, there's probably some activity that you need to get done eventually. How about that old friend that emailed you two months ago you've completely forgotten about? It's either that or laundry! If you can't think of anything, you're probably not thinking hard enough. Most people have something to clean, organize, make, submit,...


Составьте вводное предложение, излагающее тему абзаца. Изложите подтверждающие детали. Напишите заключительное предложение. Следует знать, когда переходить на новый абзац.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The first sentence of your paragraph needs to be the topic sentence. A topic sentence is an introductory line that addresses what the main idea or thesis of the paragraph is going to be. It should contain the most important and relevant point you wish to make regarding your topic, thus summarizing the paragraph as a whole. Don't: use an obvious fact as your topic sentence.Do: feel free to start with a vague idea if you feel stuck, and improve it once you've finished the paragraph.  Every other sentence you write should support the topic sentence and provide further detail and discussion of the issues or ideas it raises. If any sentence you write cannot be directly related to the topic sentence, it should not be included in this particular paragraph. More experienced writers can include their topic sentence at any point in the paragraph; it doesn't necessarily need to be the first line. However, writers who are new or less comfortable with paragraph writing should stick with having the topic sentence first, as it will help to guide you throughout the rest of the paragraph.  Your topic sentence should not be too broad or too narrow. If your topic sentence is too broad you will not be able to discuss its ideas adequately in your paragraph. If it’s too narrow, you won’t have enough to discuss. Once you have written and are happy with your topic sentence, you can start to fill in the rest of your paragraph. This is where the detailed, well-structured notes you wrote earlier will come in handy. Make sure that your paragraph is coherent, which means that it is easy to read and understand, that each sentence connects with the next and that everything flows nicely as a whole. To achieve this, try to write clear, simple sentences that express exactly what you want to say.  Link each sentence with transition words which form a bridge between one sentence and the next. Transition words can help you compare and contrast, show sequence, show cause and effect, highlight important ideas, and progress smoothly from one idea...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If he agrees to go on a date with you, either let him choose what you eat or what you do or give some options.  This will ensure that you both have a fun time on the date.  Or you might let him choose dinner and you choose the movie. Leave your phone in your bag or in your pocket so that you can fully focus on your date.  Pay him a compliment or two while you are out.  Have some fun and don’t forget to be yourself. ’  However, if the guy says no, that is okay, too.  Don’t continue to ask him out or badger him with questions about why he won’t go.  Instead say “Okay then, that’s cool” and tell him you’ll see him later. Don’t get upset or worked up in front of him.  If you feel that you might cry, go be alone in the restroom or call a friend. If he tells you that he doesn’t want to go out with you or that he is already dating someone, don’t fret.  Take a few days to get over the rejection and then focus your sights on someone new.  Or, you never know, someone might be about to ask you out as well.

Remember: attraction isn't a conscious decision, but it can be triggered by the right visual cues. Paying attention to certain aspects of your wardrobe can go a long way when you're trying to catch a girl's attention. Keep the following things in mind, :  Focus on getting nice shirts and T-Shirts in preferably neutral colors (black, white, navy) without patterns. If it's sweater season, get some nice crew or V-neck ones in neutral colors such as navy, white, or black. Keep a nicer pair of shoes for special occasions, and more a casual sporty type for everyday use. Update your look with cool jeans in darker washes. Those are so versatile that they can even be worn on dates. This is crucial; even if you followed all of the steps above, if your clothes are too baggy or ill-fitting you might go un-noticed. So make sure to enlist the help of a friend, or a sales associate, to help you get a second opinion on what looks best for your body-type.  Dress shirts. When you turn your head, the collar shouldn't turn with it. If it does, it means the shirt is too tight. The seam of your shirt should hit you right at the shoulder bone. Remember: you don't want the shirt to fit so tightly that you can see every detail of your upper body, but you also shouldn't swim in it. T-shirts. Here, too, the seam of your T-shirt should sit at your shoulder bone. Depending on your body type, you might go for a slim fit or regular fit. Pants. You don't have to opt for a slim fit, but avoid pants with pleats. They are a bit outdated and give the appearance of extra pounds on your stomach. Jeans. In general, stick to straight of slim fit jeans (even if you're hesitant at first) and avoid boot cut jeans. Visit a few stores. If you're not already pretty comfortable with fashion, going to a few clothing stores can go a long way. You'll be able to get a feel for those trends you like and for those you don't. Making an effort to show you understand trends can leave a lasting impact. After all, many women do like fashion! At the same time, you...


Составьте график всех экзаменов. Выделяйте нужные слова в тексте. Уговорите друга пойти с вами. Найдите удобное место для занятий. Соберите все ваши учебные пособия (и не забудьте про сладости).

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Arrange them by date so that the one you are having first comes at the top, then your next exam, then the next etc.  Read the syllabus that comes with your classes.  By the time finals roll around, your time is precious -- every minute counts. Which is why scheduling is essential during the weeks (er, days) prior to exams. So as not to go totally bonkers during this stressful time, make a realistic study schedule for yourself, too. Leave yourself time for breaks -- you'll be taking them anyway -- and be sure to prioritize according to which class you'll need to study for the most. The syllabus is one of the most important papers your professor will give you. Hold onto it! Use it when you're studying for your finals as a sort of outline. It may also make it clear what topics your instructor finds interesting and important -- certain topics may pop up more than others and those are definitely the ones to crack down on. Do you have to study just words?  If yes, type them out in a word processor and print them. The words you already know should not be on the list. Make absolutely sure that you know them before you take them off the list! Repeat every word 10 times and you will remember. Go through your notes and highlight major vocabulary words and concepts (in different colors!). Manipulate the material to your liking. Create charts and index cards to help yourself study. Make cards in different categories -- some for terms and/or concepts, some for formulas, and some for specific quotes from reading assignments. And if they're in your class, all the better (for them and you). However, make sure it's someone who's serious about studying -- goofing off together won't be very productive. A friend is beneficial if you can stay focused. Take turns explaining terms and concepts to each other. Odds are if you can explain it to someone else (and they can follow), you have a good grasp on the material and that'll show up on the exam. Study in a quiet place that has a nice chair you won't hesitate to spend large chunks...


Составьте график выполнения работы. Используйте надежные источники. Найдите актуальные материалы.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Completing a successful project requires a significant amount of time and work, which means evaluating your priorities and planning your course of action. Schedule specific research time and plan daily, weekly, or monthly targets for your progress (e.g. completing a detailed project outline by the first week). Keep track of your schedule with a smartphone app such as Schedule Planner, a free iPhone app that organizes your tasks and deadlines. When looking up books, news articles, or websites, always look for the credentials of the author or creator of a text. Search for the name of the writer(s) to see if they have already been published, or cited in the work of others. Avoid anonymously-written text or any sensational writing that may be geared towards attracting readers rather than conveying facts. When researching a topic, check the date of publication of all of the reference materials that you use. Current information is always ideal, but it is imperative to find the most recent data in dynamic fields such as the sciences. Historical texts, on the other hand, would be an exception.


Составьте график дел на неделю. Занесите график в телефон. Перенесите график в ежедневник. Вычеркивайте каждую выполненную задачу и результат.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Start a routine of planning out your weekly outcomes on Sunday night. Break down your weekly outcomes into daily outcomes, then list each day’s to-dos beneath them. This way you won’t be running behind as soon as the week starts anymore. Do this planning on paper or whiteboard so you can see what your goals are, rather than trying to tally them all in your mind. The key to an organized mind is writing things down so your brain doesn’t waste energy trying to contain them all. It’s great to have all your tasks and ideas out on paper, but you need to make them mobile and give them room to grow. Adding them to the calendar in your smart device will make the list an automated part of your life, and will provide a platform for you to easily add to it. If you set an alarm for each task, you will be reminded to stay on schedule. If you don’t carry a smartphone or tablet, transfer your new outcomes-and-tasks style of mind organization into your planner. For many of us, our smartphones have become our planners, but if you still carry a paper planner, be sure to get one with a big enough space for each day’s tasks. The advantage of a paper planner over a mobile device is that you just flip it open and everything is mapped out. With a smartphone, you’re having to access the calendar from an app, which means it’s easy to ignore your calendar if you feel like it—which will detract from maintaining an organized mind. At the end of the day when your outcomes have been accomplished, you will feel relieved instead of the way you used to feel—which was probably stressed.  There is evidence that the act of creating and crossing off a to-do list relieves the burden on our brains. Writing down your tasks and goals removes that distraction from your mind.  If you have not completely finished a task or accomplished an outcome at the end of the day or week, calculate an estimated percent of what has been accomplished and write it on your notepad or planner. Your brain will be able to relax even if the task isn’t fully accomplished in...


Составьте график для каждого часа своего дня. Делайте десятиминутный перерыв каждый час или два. Старайтесь правильно выполнять задание с первого раза. Попросите друга или сотрудника время от времени проверять ваш прогресс, чтобы вы не сбивались с пути.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Take out a piece of paper or use a calendar tool on your computer to create slots of every hour of your work day, or the hours of the day that you are awake. This could be from nine to five or ten to seven. Though you do not need to fill up each time period down to the minute, it can be helpful to make sure each hour of your day is accounted for in your schedule.  Start to fill each hour of the day with your required tasks for the day. You may start with the most important tasks first and work your way down to the least important tasks. As well, if you consider yourself a morning person, you may decide to put the more complicated tasks earlier in the day, but if you know you usually get a second wind after lunch, you may place complicated tasks later in the day. Try to customize your schedule to fit your needs and work habits, as this will set you up for success when you use the schedule. You may want to create a template for your schedule on a whiteboard or a calendar tool so you can update it every day according to your schedule for that day. It can be difficult to focus on one task or a group of tasks for longer than one to two hours. Make sure you schedule in a ten minute break every hour or every two hours so you do not feel overworked or stressed out. During the mini break, you should get up and walk around the office, or talk to a coworker in the break room. You may go get a coffee or go for a quick walk outside. Try to keep the break to 10 minutes or less so your schedule is not thrown off. You can also take 10 long, slow deep breaths at the top of every hour to clear your mind and pause. This may help you to get some perspective on a task you are doing or going to do and ensure you are checking in with yourself despite your busy work day. Rather than try to rush through your schedule and address every item quickly, take the time to do each task correctly, the first time. Rushing through your emails could lead to prolonged email exchanges, especially if you send cryptic or confusing emails to a...


Составьте график и придерживайтесь его. Сделайте отношения взаимовыгодными. Проявляйте признательность. Сохраняйте строго профессиональные отношения между вами и вашим наставником.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Even if the mentorship exists largely over email or online, don't start bombarding your mentor with questions for advice at the last minute if it doesn't fit into the pre-outlined relationship you'd established. If the relationship reaches a natural conclusion, it's ok to end it. If you feel confident that you've improved enough in whatever skill you were hoping to learn from your mentor that you feel confident to go forth without weekly coffee meetings, say so. Think about what you might be able to offer your mentor in return. If you're getting loads of free advice about your short stories from a professor, ask if there's any research or tech help they might be able to use around the office. Setting up the new wireless router would be a great way to earn favor. As you improve in your career, remember who and what got you there. As opportunities arise, don't forget about your mentors that helped you along the way. Write to your mentor to keep them updated on your progress and remember to thank them for their specific contributions. This will give the mentor a feeling of being useful, needed, and also skillful at their craft.  Be specific. Just saying, "Thanks, you're being so helpful!" isn't as reassuring as, "I nailed that last sale thanks to your opening line tips. Thanks!" Gratitude could include a small gift as a "thank you" token. Small things like a book, a bottle of wine, or the occasional meal may be appropriate. Emotional involvement with your mentor will usually not be in the best interest of the mentoring process, especially if it's someone you work with. Casual interaction is acceptable and might even benefit your professional relationship, but your mentor is not meant to be your new best friend, so avoid digging into personal topics that are notably deep or vulnerable. For example, in addition to learning about their professional background, you might take time to ask them about their interests at the end of your meeting. Connecting on a common interest may even be one way to establish a greater...


Составьте график кормления. Приподнимите мордочку стоящего ягненка вверх и покормите его. После первой недели начните добавлять пресную воду, сено и траву. Каждые две недели увеличивайте количество пищи. За 13 недель ягненок должен отвыкнуть от молока.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Once you get past the initial 24 hour period, you should set and follow a feeding schedule for your lamb.  For the first 24 hours after receiving the colostrum, lambs should be fed 140 milliliters every four hours. After this, feed your lamb 200 milliliters four times a day. Your lamb should still be fed about every four hours. Keep track of what times you feed your lamb and make sure to get a feeding in at the proper intervals.  Once 2 weeks pass, you can begin gradually upping the amount of milk you feed your lamb. As previously stated, heat the milk replacer first so it is warm to the touch without being scalding. Once you have the milk measured and prepared, you can feed your lamb.  Lambs should feed standing up. Do not cuddle or hold your lamb while bottle feeding as this could result in a clot in her lung.  Most lambs will suckle instinctively. If your lamb is not suckling, pressing the bottle's nipple against her lips should encourage her to feed. After a week of bottle feeding with colostrum and then milk, your lamb should have some solid foods in her diet.  Give the lamb fresh water, hay, and grass. Let her eat and drink as she desires.  If she's strong enough, let her out to graze with the rest of the flock so she can begin socializing with other sheep. You should increase the amount of milk your lamb gets as she grows.  After two weeks of feeding her 200 milliliters four times a day, gradually build her up to 500 ml four times a day. After another two weeks, gradually increase the feeding amount to 700 ml a day three times a day.  After 5 or 6 weeks, begin decreasing the amount of milk. Cut back to 500 milliliters (16.9  fl oz) two times a day. By the time your lamb is 13 weeks old, she should be completely free of milk and transitioned into a diet of hay, feed, grass, and water. Make sure you keep track of time and stick on your schedule to gradually decrease feedings starting at 5 to 6 weeks.

Shampoo certainly removes grease, but it can strip away too much of your hair's protective oil, leaving your hair dry and vulnerable to damage. If your hair breaks easily or quickly develops split ends, you may already be shampooing too often. Find a washing schedule that leaves your hair healthy and soft, so you can address the greasiness without destroying your hair.  You might be able to wash daily if you have very fine hair, live in a humid area, or exercise daily to the point of heavy sweating. For most people, washing once every 2–4 days is recommended. You may need to wash even less often if you have extra-curly African hair, or if you've treated your hair with keratin.  Your hair will produce oil at the same rate, no matter how often you shampoo. Find a clarifying shampoo intended for oily or greasy hair. The most effective examples tend to include sulfates, which are infamous in some circles for the damage they can cause to skin and hair. Give it a try, but switch to a sulfate-free product if the shampoo irritates your skin or swings your hair too far in the dry, damaged direction.  If you can't find an effective, safe shampoo, you might be able to replace shampoo entirely with one of the home remedies below. Avoid products that advertise "added shine," which is caused by oily ingredients. Dry shampoo is a scented powder that sits in your hair and absorbs grease, without rinsing away all your protective oils. Hold the can at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from your hair, and spray lightly onto the roots and mid-shafts in oily areas. Let sit for two minutes, then massage it into your hair with clean hands. Apply whenever your hair feels greasy, about 1–3 times between washes.  Too much dry shampoo can cause white buildup. Apply it lightly to oily areas only (typically the layers of hair nearest to your scalp). Dry shampoo is available in powder form as well as sprays. Choose this if you are sensitive to fragrance or aerosols. Baking soda, talcum powder, and other powders are also effective for absorbing...

This will help you determine how long it is going to take you to write a draft of the book. If you are working under a deadline, you may make your schedule more tight than if you have the luxury of more time to write.  Try to organize your schedule around word count or page count. So, if you normally write about 750 words an hour, factor this in on your schedule. Or if you feel you may actually write two pages an hour, use this as an estimate in your schedule. Determine how long it will take you on average to compose a set number of words, or number of pages, per a day. If you are working towards a final word count goal, like 50,000 words or 200 pages, focus on how many hours per a week it will take you to reach this goal. You may feel pressure to write and rewrite every sentence you put down. But part of writing a memoir is writing an honest account of a pivotal event, in your own words and with your own style. Avoid putting on a “writer” voice. Instead, don’t be afraid to write like you speak or talk. Include slang and any regional vernacular. Make your story sound like it is coming directly from you. Use your plot outline to get a general sense of where your writing might be heading. But let yourself explore scenes in your rough draft. Don’t worry about writing perfect sentences or scenes. Instead, use your memory to create moments that feel true to you. When you use the passive voice, your writing will end feeling long winded and dull. Look for signs of the passive voice by circling all the “is” “was” and other passive verbs like “begin” “have” “seems” and “appears” in the manuscript. Use your grammar check (or an app like Hemingway app) to count the number of passive sentences in your manuscript. Aim for 2-4% maximum. Instead of “utilize” you can just put “use”. Focus on simple language, with one or two syllable words. The only time you should be using higher level language is if you are using scientific terms or describing a technical process. Even then, you should be writing for the average reader. It...

Plays require extensive preparation and rehearsal to be ready to perform in front of a live audience. Collaborate with the director to create a rigorous but reasonable schedule that gradually increases in intensity as the opening night approaches. Keep in mind the price and availability of practice space and the dates of other events at the venue you've chosen. Some theater resources recommend scheduling at least one hour of rehearsal time for every page in the script. Be sure to reserve time at the end of your rehearsal schedule for technical rehearsals and at least one dress rehearsal. Technical rehearsals give the actors, director, and crew a chance to run through the play and work out any kinks in the technical aspects of the production - lights, sound cues, costumes, and special effects. Dress rehearsals consist of performing the play in its entirety as if an audience was watching with no breaks or  stops. For instance, if an actor forgets his or her lines, the play must continue, as it would during an actual performance. Some venues will handle liability insurance for their theatrical productions, while others do not. In the event that an actor or audience member is injured during the play, theatrical liability insurance packages cover the cost, protecting you or the venue from paying out of pocket. Thus, liability insurance is a wise idea for many productions, especially ones involving high-flying acrobatics, pyrotechnics, and the like. Specially-designed props, sets, and costumes can take lots of time to produce. The construction of especially-complicated set pieces, for instance, may even need to begin before the actors start rehearsing! As the producer, you'll need to hire, coordinate, and delegate designers and technicians to bring your play to life. If your production is strapped for cash, you don't necessarily have to create every physical aspect of your play from scratch. You might, for instance, organize a drive for old, out-of-fashion clothing as a source for costumes. You might also petition...


Составьте график сна. Избегайте тяжелой пищи перед сном. Ограничьте потребление жидкостей незадолго до отхода ко сну. Практикуйте методы релаксации. Убедитесь в соответствии окружающей обстановки.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

A solid sleep schedule is good for anyone's sleep hygiene, and may help improve rest when you're pregnant. You will fall asleep and wake up easier if you get yourself on a sleep schedule. This means going to bed and waking up at roughly the same time each day, even weekends. When your body is on a regular sleep/wake cycle, you'll get tired at night and then energetic in the morning. Indigestion and nausea are common problems during pregnancy. You can exasperate these issues if you eat a heavy meal before bed. Try to stick to light snacks in the hours leading up to bedtime and don’t eat within two to three hours of going to bed.  It may help to schedule your big meals around lunch and dinner. Eating a big breakfast and a heavy lunch can stave off feelings of hunger at night. If you're feeling hungry or nauseous before bed, try having a few plain crackers. This can fill up your stomach and may prevent nighttime nausea. It is important to avoid eating within two to three hours of going to sleep because this can increase your chances of developing heartburn. When you're pregnant, you will urinate more due to the baby pressing down on your bladder. It's a good idea to cut back on liquids in the hours leading up to bedtime. Fluid intake throughout the day is important, so do not neglect water during daytime hours. Simply cut back on fluids close to bedtime. Caffeinated beverages, like teas and coffees, are a particularly big culprit in keeping you awake at night. As you should limit your caffeine intake when pregnant, it may be a good idea to cut out caffeinated beverages altogether during your pregnancy. If you're having trouble sleeping, try relaxation exercises. They can get your mind off of the stress of your pregnancy, as well as any bothersome physical symptoms.  You can try a breathing exercise. Breathe in and out in slow, steady breaths. Focus on the air going in and out of your lungs. If there is any tension in your body, release that tension as you breathe. If your mind starts to wander, bring it back to...


Составьте график тренировок. Правильно питайтесь. Работайте над улучшением общей физической формы.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You'll never beat a five minute mile without a plan and proper schedule. For the best results, you should be training almost every day, incorporating different exercises.  Start your week with a distance run, running for at least 40 minutes or about 3 miles, and gradually increasing that as you train. Take the next day to rest or do some other training like yoga or weight lifting. Pick a few days a week to do interval or hill training, followed by another day of rest or cross training. In order to get your body into the right shape for a 5 minute mile, eating the right diet that will give your body energy is important, and it will help it to recover after training.  Get the right proteins through eggs, sweet potatoes, salmon, and chicken. Proteins like salmon contain ingredients like omega-3 essential fatty acids which increase heart health and help performance. Leafy greens like kale contain a wealth of vitamins that keep your body healthy and moving like vitamins A, B6, C, and K.  Whole wheat pasta in the right portions will provide you with the carbs you need to maximize muscle glycogen stores. If you want to run a 5 minute mile you need to train your body in other ways than just running to get into shape. Other exercises will not only help you run faster, but will help prevent injury and increase form.   Planks are a great way to strengthen your core, lower back, and shoulders; three areas that are important for a fast run. Hold planks for 45 seconds and do 3-5 reps. Kettlebell squats will work your glutes and leg muscles while also strengthening your core. Do 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps.  Do some yoga to help you improve flexibility, recover faster, and simply destress.

In addition to monitoring and regulating ammonia levels, there are several things you can do to keep your aquarium healthy. Make it a habit to care for your tank water regularly. For example, you should check the water temperature every day.  On a weekly basis, replace 10% of the water with dechlorinated water.You should also test your water for nitrates and ammonia weekly. Each month, change 25% of your water. You should also perform any necessary filter maintenance. On a monthly basis, scrub the algae from your tank. Prune live plants if you have them. Write down your maintenance schedule on your calendar so that you keep track of each of your steps. Part of maintaining a healthy aquarium is to provide the proper amount of lighting. Most fish need 8-10 hours per day. Make sure that they are getting the correct amount of light.  You can purchase lights with timers for your aquarium. This will ensure that you are not over or under lighting them. Practice precaution after a power failure. Even a brief loss of power can cause stress for your fish. After a power outage, check to make sure that all of your equipment is functioning properly. In order to have healthy and happy fish, you need to provide them with the proper diet. What you feed them will depend on what type of fish you have. Make sure that you are purchasing the right food for your aquarium.  Make sure not to overfeed your fish. That can cause the tank to become contaminated. Experiment to find the right amount of food. Your fish should eat their fill in about 5 minutes. If it takes them longer than 5 minutes, reduce the amount. If they finish quickly, add more food. Try to feed the fish at the same time each day. Keeping to a schedule will help you keep track of feedings. An important part of keeping your fish healthy is to carefully control the population. When you are increasing the population, it is best to increase your number gradually. Do not add more than 3 fish at a time.  Purchase healthy fish. The best way to do this is to go to a...

With small fish tanks, you must do fifty percent or larger water changes at least twice weekly but preferably every other day. Without massive, frequent water changes, the tank can destabilize and put your fish at risk. Thus, it is important to schedule time to do your fish tank water changes and cleaning. Every other week, perform deep cleanings in which you remove decorations and scrub the interior.  Observe your fish daily to see whether they look healthy and are behaving normally. Do they have good color, clean scales, unclamped fins? Or are they slimy and ragged? Remove any dead fish. If your fish look sluggish, stressed, or they are gulping for air, do a water change.  It is not beneficial to perform deep cleanings too often, as you will remove essential bacteria. Make a checklist to ensure that you have all the necessary supplies. Having your supplies on hand will speed up the process. Most supplies are available at pet or home goods stores. Use this list to help you.  2 fish nets Temporary fish tank or container Fresh water in the quantity you want to replace Algae pad New toothbrush 2 large buckets (5-10 gallons) Gravel vacuum Siphon Water conditioner Aquarium-safe glass cleaner or a vinegar-based solution Clean cloth Towel Place tarps or towels on the floor to catch any spilled water. Keep the tank in place. Do not move your tank or tip it into the sink. Juggling your fish puts them under stress and stirs debris in the tank. Wear a short-sleeved shirt or tank top. You might consider wearing a bathing suit. Aprons also can protect your clothing. Wearing water-resistant shoes like water shoes or flip flops is also a good idea. If applicable, unplug the aquarium’s aerator, filter, and heater. Leave hood lights plugged in. Place the hood behind the tank to illuminate the tank.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Pick a specific time to visualize your autosuggestions. Setting a schedule will help you maintain a consistent schedule, which will help the autosuggestions succeed. The moments before you sleep and when you awake are the best because you are more prone to suggestion. While you sit comfortably, try to relax and let go of your thoughts. Breath deeply and regularly. Visualization and autosuggestion work best when you are relaxed since you mind is more open to suggestion. You can stand or sit during this method with your eyes closed. As you repeat your autosuggestions, visualize yourself experiencing them. Attach as much meaning as you can to what you imagine. The more emotion you put into the visualization, the more efficient it becomes. Try to involve every sense as you imagine your autosuggestion coming to life. Try to see, hear, feel, smell, and touch the scene your picture. Imagine how the autosuggestion would make you feel. Attach that feeling to what you picture. For example, if you see yourself getting a promotion, imagine how you would feel if that happened: happy, successful and self-assured. Visualize scenes in which you are using your autosuggestion. Slightly move your body and use hand gestures as you would in a situation where you would use your autosuggestion. For example, if your autosuggestion is “I am a good public speaker,” then picture yourself giving a wonderful speech in front of an audience. Imagine yourself doing hand gestures and emphasizing your point. Try to visualize two or three times a day. Make sure you practice the visualization consistently. Visualization and autosuggestion only work if you repeatedly do them.

To brainstorm and organize ideas for your project, make a mind map to stimulate new thoughts. Use a plain piece of paper, poster board, or whiteboard for your mind map and write the goal of your project in the middle. Write down related topics, subtopics, and relevant concepts around the goal, and branch out from them to create and follow different tangents. For instance, if your goal is to “provide a comprehensive account of the history of the fur trade in North America”, subtopics and tangents could include “relations with Natives”, “history of European fashion”, and “the cultural significance of fur”. If you are doing a group project, brainstorming things together will allow each group member to feed off of the ideas of others and gain new insight. Schedule a brainstorming session in a quiet place with few distractions. If you are working on a project on your own, group discussion with friends or colleagues can help you gain a new perspective on the topic you’re covering.  Remember to include everybody in any decision-making. Plan out the process of your research by using the gap filling brainstorming technique. To do this, identify where you are starting from in terms of your knowledge and resources (i.e. Point A), and identify where you want to go with your project (Point B). Make a list of all of the things missing between Point A and Point B and make a plan for filling in this gap. For instance, if Point A is starting a project about electric cars with limited knowledge on the topic, and Point B is completing a PowerPoint presentation about them, you can fill the gap by conducting research (online and in a library), outlining the history, technology, and possible future of electric cars,  and procuring pictures and news articles about them.

Without routine care, your fish will die prematurely. Remember, a fish can't tell you when it is hungry or when its water is dirty. In order to maximize your fish's lifespan, you will need to give it regular care. By created a schedule for yourself, you can help yourself to stick to it. Feed your fish regularly. It is important to select food that is appropriate for your fish. Many stores sell food specifically for bettas, but even then it is important to check the ingredients. Avoid food made mostly of fish meal.  Many bettas do not like fish flakes. Pellets specially formulated for bettas can be found in most fish stores. Freeze-dried or frozen fish food, such as blood worms or brine shrimp, are a great supplement to their diet of betta pellets. Choose live food if you can. Research demonstrates that formulated food, such as the dry fish food you get in the store, begins to have measurable impacts on a betta's health once it exceeds 25% of their diet. Few pet bettas are privileged enough to get live food all the time. Though live food can be expensive and time consuming, it also greatly benefits a betta's health. Buy a time-release feeder for your fish if you go on vacation, so it doesn't die of starvation while you're away. Every so often, you will have to change the water for your fish. This varies depending on the size of the tank, whether or not you choose to use a filter, and if you incorporate live plants. You can buy testing kits to check the water. This will ensure that your fish has a clean, healthy medium to live in, maximizing his life-span potential. A fish tank can grow algae on the sides that need to be cleaned off, in order to ensure the quality of the water and also your clear view of the fish. The rocks or sand at the bottom of your tank will also need to be cleaned or replaced every once and a while. Waste buildup in the base of the tank can make your fish sick, and kill him. Filters can help with this, but, even then, it may be necessary to siphon waste from the bottom.  Buy a siphon, so...

. A will can be a pretty simple, straight forward legal document, but it is essential. If you don't have one, you will want to have one drawn up.You can do this yourself or hire a lawyer. Make sure to specify the beneficiaries of your possessions and any financial holdings you may have. If you have children, your will should clearly state the person who will become their legal guardian.  Make sure to name an executor. This is the person who will make sure that your legal wishes are carried out. If you are terminally ill, you will also want to create a living will. This will give a designated family member or friend the power to make legal decisions for you when you are no longer able. . Making plans can be calming and it may also help you deal with stress. Some people like to make the arrangements for the memorial service that will occur once they have passed away. You can make plans, and they can be as specific or general as you like.  If you feel strongly about having either a religious or non-religious service, make sure to specify that. You can also make choices such as the type of music you would like to have playing during the service. Make your plans clear to a loved one that you can trust. You can do much of the planning yourself, but you will need someone to actually oversee the process once you are gone. You may find some comfort in saying farewell to your loved ones. This is a very personal matter, and one that will naturally be on your mind. Remember, there is no one right way to deal with dying. You can die with dignity by dealing with the process as you see fit.  One way to say goodbye is by having a conversation. If you feel you will become distraught, you can plan in advance what you would like to say. Remember, tears and emotions are normal. Some people choose to write letters to their loved ones as a final goodbye. These can be read before or after you have passed.


Составьте маршрут с учетом экономии топлива. Паркуйтесь так, чтобы вам было легко выезжать.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you have a choice between various routes, go for the one with the least number of stops - stopping and starting again from a dead stop is very expensive in terms of gas.   If you have multiple stops in one trip, plan it so that you go to your furthest destination first and make the rest of your stops on your way back. By taking your longest drive at the beginning, you give the car enough time to warm up for the remainder of the trip; if you took the short trips first, your car would take longer to warm up (because of the brevity of each trip). Since engines do not operate efficiently until they are warm, taking your longest drive first increases fuel efficiency. Country roads are good because you don't have to stop (and go) as much and you don't have to accelerate/brake to get on/off (like with the highway). Steep uphills or downhills will have impacts on your fuel economy as well. If you're driving on sloped roads, it's useful to think about where you should come to a full stop, because that will affect how hard you need to accelerate. Instead of searching for the perfect spot close to an entrance (which will involve stop-and-go driving, especially with pedestrians involved and other drivers pulling in or out of their spots) pull into a spot that's further away from the entrance.  Look for the parking spot with the highest elevation and park face-out so that when you start the car and the engine is cold (at the lowest efficiency) you can use gravity in your favor without having to spin your car around.

Writing up a weekly meal plan may be one of the most useful things when improving your family's diet.  This will help organize you, make grocery shopping easier and help you stay on track throughout the week.  Spend some time on the weekends, or when you have free time, and write up a rough list of meals that you're going to prepare the next week.  Make sure to include breakfast, lunches, dinners and any snacks. Take a sheet of paper or notebook and write down each day of your week (Sunday through Saturday).  Write in all of your meals, what day you're going to the grocery store and what day you plan on spending time doing some meal prep. After this is done, write up the corresponding grocery list.  This will help you stay on track, buy only what you need and cut down on unnecessary trips to the store throughout the week. Another helpful way to get quick, nutritious meals on the table is to do meal prep prior to your week.  Just a little time on the weekends can save you hours during the week.  An example of one day of planned meals may look like:  Breakfast:  fruit and yogurt parfaits with low-fat granola; Lunch:  almond butter and sliced apple sandwiches on whole wheat bread; Snack:  1/3 cup trail mix; Dinner:  grilled chicken and pepper fajitas with a tossed garden salad. In addition to quick meals, studies have shown that children's food choices are healthier and more nutritious if they have parents that meal prep and cook more often at home.  Sometimes, healthier, nutritious foods require a little more prep work to get on the table.  Many processed foods can be eaten right out of the package or only require a quick microwave or time in the oven. Meal prep ideas:  cut and wash all fruits and vegetables.  Place prepared items in sealed bags or containers until you're ready to cook them.  You can also pre-cook proteins like fish, chicken or pork and leave items in sealed containers to reheat when you're ready to use them. If you can, also save yourself time by purchasing ready-to-cook items.  For example,...

The player who chose the letter closest to “A” gets to play the first word. The word must use at least two tiles and it must be placed across the star square in the center of the board. The word can be laid out in a vertical or horizontal fashion, but it cannot be diagonal. When calculating the first word score, keep in mind that the player who places the first word gets to double his or her total score because the star counts as a Premium Square with a double word bonus. For example, if the total value of the first word played was 8, then the player would receive a score of 16. After you have put down a word, make sure that you count up your points. Add up the points on the lower right corner of each of the tiles you laid down. If you placed a tile on a Premium Square, adjust your score as indicated by the Premium Square. For example, if you place a word over a square that says “Double Word” on it, then you should double the total value of your word. If you place a tile over a square that says “Double Letter”, then you should double the value of that letter tile only when you calculate your score. After each of your turns, you will need to draw as many new tiles as you just played. For example, if you played three of your tiles to form a word during your turn, then you need to draw three new tiles at the end of your turn. Place these new tiles on your rack and pass the bag to the next player. On your next turn, you will have to add onto the words that your opponents have just played. That means that you cannot just create a freestanding word on the board, all of the tiles must be connected. As you build onto the words that your opponents have played, make sure that you consider all of the connected tiles. Your addition to the board must create at least one new word, but if you connect to other tiles, from other directions, then you need to make sure that you are creating valid words with these connections. It is a good idea to consider multiple plays during each of your turns and to go with the play that...

Include knives within your budget, so you're not disappointed if you prefer one that's much too expensive. Note which knives on your list are available only online or in store. If a store carries them, be sure to list which stores in your area have them. You're mainly checking to see how the knife feels. Do you like the feel of the knife handle? Do you think you would be comfortable using the knife? Check to see is the knife feels balanced in your hand for cutting. It's a good idea to also hold some knives that didn't make your list. You might find that you actually prefer a wooden handle to a metal one, or vice versa. Check for local sales, but also include online websites. This should help you make up your mind about which knives to get, if the prices differ dramatically. If you choose a store in your area, consider whether they'll be running sales in the near future. If you use an online site, don't forget to figure shipping costs into your purchase. Regardless of where you choose to buy your knives, learn the company's return policy. This warranty lets you know the manufacturer believes the knives to be of good quality, and you have the option of replacing any knives that break or are damaged. Carefully read any warranty information that comes with your knives, since there are certain actions that can void the company's warranty, such as washing them in the dishwasher, incorrectly sharpening the blades, or taking them apart (if you own stamped knives).

Pornos very often take their cues from existing movies, either twisting the title with double entendres, or simply going for the raunchy pun. For example, in Zack and Miri Make a Porno, they decided to make a spoof of Star Wars, called Star Whores. What trendy piece of culture can you take from and add to?  Other examples of pornified titles might include Jack Reach-around, Breast of Memphis, Skyball 0069, or The Night Night Saga: Going Down. Though classy titles like "Girls with Guns" also get the message across just as well. Your concept does not necessarily need to be a spoof. You may decide on a single-scene vignette that focuses on an intimate moment with just one or two actors, or a more ambitious movie with an original plot, such as the classic Deep Throat. Now that you've got your concept, what are you gonna need to bring it to fruition? What obstacles might you be able to predict popping up? Things to consider in your initial planning include:   Market. Determine if your movie will be released as a film, DVD, or sold to an online porn distributor.      Length of film. Depending on the concept and your market, your movie may be just 5 to 10 minutes, or a full-length movie.  Number of actors. This will be directly related to the length of the film. While a full-length traditional movie might be made with a very small ensemble—even one or two actors, a porno needs to keep things fresh from scene to scene  Props and set. If your movie is about aliens from outer space, you're gonna need to stockpile the green makeup and aluminum foil. What does your concept require? Ideally, you have investors. Your producer's pockets are deep and money isn't an issue. But realistically, you have your roommate's camera and some duct tape you stole from your school's workshop. Here are a few things to consider:  Equipment purchase or rental -- lighting, sound, editing, and music.  Actors. If you film a couple amateurs for a single-scene shot, the budget will be fairly low. The prices for a star, quite obviously, will be...

Knowing what you’re shooting for will allow you to create an effective diet and exercise plan. If you want to lose 50 lb (23 kg) overall, then 4 lb (1.8 kg) per week would be your goal. However, keep in mind that this is a fast rate of weight loss that is not considered healthy. Ideally, aim for 1–2 lb (0.45–0.91 kg) per week instead, which would still result in a 12–24 lb (5.4–10.9 kg) weight loss over the course of 3 months. to see how many calories you burn in a day. The amount of calories you burn each day depends on your age, height, weight, and the amount of activity you do throughout the day. There are many basal metabolic rate calculators online that you can use to figure out your body’s basic caloric needs. Use one to calculate the amount of calories you are burning on an average day. Once you have figured out what your basic caloric needs are, use this number to help you determine how many calories to cut from your diet. This can also help you set a goal for how many calories to burn with exercise each day. Be realistic with your goal. Don’t drop your caloric intake below 1,200 per day.  For example, if your basal metabolic rate is 2,300, then you could cut your daily caloric intake to 1,300 to work towards a 2 lb (0.91 kg) per week weight loss. To lose 4 lb (1.8 kg) per week, you’d need to burn an extra 1,000 calories per day. This isn’t realistic since it would require you to do around 2 hours of intense cardiovascular exercise every day. Instead, focus on getting 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise to start and increase the amount and intensity as you get stronger. It’s important to track everything that crosses your lips to get an accurate number for your daily caloric intake. Tracking your exercise in a diary or app can also help you to see how many calories you’re burning in addition to the calories you’ve cut. Make sure to record foods and beverages in the app. This will help to ensure that you’re staying on track with your goals.

You will be gathering a lot of information from a lot of people. It will be important for you to keep everything organized so that your invitations get sent to the correct parties. Create a spreadsheet that you can continue to update as you gather names, addresses, and email addresses. The following categories should be included in your spreadsheet:  Current name of the classmate Former name of the classmate (if relevant) Classmate's spouse or domestic partner Classmate's address Classmate's email address Classmate's phone number Classmate's social media contact information Most high schools maintain a detailed list of their graduates, including name changes and updated contact information. Your first step to developing a thorough invite list is to gather a list of all your class members from your school. This will likely provide the bulk of the names, email addresses, and addresses you will require. It is possible that your school's alumni office will leave off a few names for members of your class. Compare the list from the alumni office to your old yearbooks. Note any discrepancies between the two lists, and add names from the yearbook to your contact list. Facebook is a great way to keep track of former classmates as they move and change names. Set up a Facebook group early on and invite as many of your former classmates as you can find. Encourage group members to track down their friends and acquaintances from your class. Hopefully word will spread that a reunion is imminent. The Facebook group is a way to assemble an invite list as well as update class members about how the reunion planning is going. Be sure to send the group relevant updates in order to boost excitement. At this point, you might have a spotty contact list for your classmates. You might have the addresses for some classmates and nothing but a Facebook update from others. Fill in the gaps by taking the time to confirm the contact information for all your classmates. Use the information you have to get in direct touch with them: call the...
