Rats live for around 2-3 years or more, so look ahead and be sure you can care for the pet over this length of time.  Think about the time and commitment it takes to look after another living animal. This means keeping the cage clean, regular feeding and handling, and if the pet gets sick, taking him to the vet. Remember that you'll need to find someone to care for your rats when you go on vacation or out of town. Many rat owners can testify that it's really hard to find someone comfortable enough to care for and handle rats (a lot of people can be squeamish) so try, if you can, to line up at least 3 or 4 potential candidates who are willing to watch your rats if you need to leave town. Pet stores sometimes offer to take care of pets. If you already own other pets, especially cats, then think about whether or not the pets you already care for will be able to live harmoniously with rats. Research about how to introduce a new pet, or keep the cage on a high shelf or in a closed room other animals cannot get into. It is most likely the best idea to keep your rats and and other animals separated. Cats may be a particular problem. They prey on rodents, including rats, and so you could end up inadvertently teasing the cats and terrifying or endangering the rats. Before deciding to purchase rats, visit somebody who already has one. There are features of this animal that some people find unpleasant, so it's a good idea to make sure you will actually enjoy caring for them before obtaining any. There are many variations of rats, including tail-less, fur-less and miniature.  Pet rats that are kept in clean conditions do not have a strong smell, but they do have a slight odor that not everyone likes. Before getting your own pet rat, make sure you are comfortable with the smell, or find a good bedding to absorb it. Remember, harmful chemicals and pine shavings are bad for rats - the resins can irritate their lungs.  Similarly, some people find the scurrying action of a rat disconcerting. Little claws can tickle! Rattie...

Because pigeons are social animals, keeping a single one is only recommended if you're sure you can offer enough time and companionship to keep your pigeon happy.  You should also consult local regulations to verify that you are permitted to keep pigeons.  There are many different breeds of pigeons and their respective social needs vary considerably. However, you should be able to set aside some time every day to help socialize your pigeon. You should have indoor accommodations for your pigeon and, if at all possible, outside accommodations as well. It is important that you prepare these ahead of time. It will be disconcerting to the pigeon to relocate it without providing it with a new home immediately. Clean all cages before your pigeon arrives.  An ideal indoor cage is rectangular and partially enclosed. Be sure that there are no holes in the cage long enough for the pigeon to stick its head through. Because pigeons like to walk, the bottom of the cage should be covered with paper or grassy sod. Keep the cage in a bright area but not one with direct sunlight. If the cage is in a place liable to be exposed to light at night, you should cover the cage during the evening. An outdoor aviary should be approximately 6’ square and 8’ high. Include shelves for nesting, including one as high as possible in the enclosure.  The enclosure should be sturdy enough to protect against outside predators. If possible the aviary should be oriented toward the south or southwest, allowing for maximum sunlight.  include in the housing a bath that the bird can use to clean itself. Certain breeds are adapted to free flight. You can provide them with a “dovecote,” which is a small structure that can be attached to the side of your house. Be aware, however, that your bird could be hunted by predators if permitted to fly freely. There are a variety of mixes that are designed for pigeons and doves. Pelleted diets are the best source of nutrients. Seed diets and other commercial mixes will require more supplementation.  You can...

You may want to try steaming the hat first. The most common way to steam a straw hat is to use a steamer or the steam setting on an iron. You could also take the hat to a hat store that has an industrial steamer, but it's usually not necessary.  Apply the steam around the entire brim of the hat first. The steam will loosen the fibers. The steam will help the hat regain its natural shape. You could use steam from a pot of boiling water if you don’t have a steamer, but be very careful around boiling water.  If the steam seems like it’s saturating the hat too much, stop for a few minutes before restarting the process. Keep the steam about 6 to 8 inches away from the straw hat so the steam doesn’t damage it or hurt your hands. Pop the brim back down.  After directing the steam around the brim, put steam throughout the inside of the hat’s crown. The steam should start popping the dents in the hat back out. You don’t want the steamer or iron to actually touch the straw though. Continue steaming until the hat is damp. Don't worry that you are getting too much moisture in the hat because the moisture is what will help straighten it out. After you wet it or while you are steaming the hat, push everything back into shape, constantly molding the straw with your hands throughout the steaming process.  Pull the fibers apart with your fingers as you mold the hat. You could also use a spoon to mold the hat’s shape while it’s steaming instead of your fingers. After you’ve steamed the hat, put a bowl, folded towel, or other object inside the hat. This will help its crown further regain its shape. You may need to wear garden gloves or oven mitts when steaming the hat. It can be dangerous to be around hot steam, so be very careful that you don't burn yourself by getting too close to it. If steaming the hat doesn't work, you may want to wet the hat instead. This approach can especially work with a squished straw hat brim. Spray the hat with water. It should dry back in shape because the moisture will make the straw more pliable....

Let's set the record straight right from the beginning: Growing your nails actually means not breaking them. Generally speaking, you can't magically make your nails grow faster, but you can get the strong and less prone to breaking, so they stay long and beautiful. That being said, there are a couple of products that claim to promote nail growth:   Nail hardeners. These are clear "polishes" that use formalin (methylene glycol dissolved in water) as the strengthening agent. They're like nail polish, only with a shield and a machete.  Growth gel. Does it work? Well, maybe. Sally Hansen's VitaSurge Growth Gel says, "The multi-active bead infused formula instantly releases a surge of nourishing Vitamins A, C & E to nourish and treat nails for healthy growth." Multi-active bead infused formula? Sure. Take that for what it's worth. While it won't speed up the growing process, Biotin has been linked to stronger, less-breakable nails. If you suffer from brittle nails that just won't grow out, it's possible this could help. You might see a change in your hair and skin, too! This is available in some dietary supplements -- but it'll probably involve reading the "ingredient" label. Look for vitamins and supplements that claim to improve the look of your hair, skin, and nails; they probably have Biotin in them. It's a long-held opinion that your diet determines what your nails look like (amongst other things). Well, that's true to a point. The fact of the matter is that if you live in a first world country in today's day and age, you probably get enough of everything. So while a better diet -- more protein specifically -- can make a difference, take it with a grain of salt. "Not getting enough protein" is hardly an issue for most of us anymore, vegetarians included. That being said, it's never a bad idea to ensure that your diet is balanced for general health purposes. The more nutrients and vitamins you get, the better your body will look overall, nails included. If you're into long, beautiful nails, you've probably...

This isn't necessary, but it will be very helpful, especially if you're new to weight training. A personal trainer can talk with you about your goals and design workouts to help you reach them. Most gyms have personal trainers on staff, so ask about these services at your gym. Make sure you inform a personal trainer about your diabetes. This will help him design workouts that will work best for you. It is also important for safety, because your trainer can monitor you for signs of hypoglycemia or other complications. When working with weights, aim to do two or three sets of 8-12 repetitions within each set. Let your body rest for about a minute in between sets. When lifting, breathe out when you perform the lift or exertion, and breathe in when returning to your start position. You can apply these general guidelines to any weight-based workout. This focus will give you faster results over your whole body. The major areas you should concentrate on are the back, chest, arms, and legs. There are several workouts you can do to train each of these areas and increase your overall muscle mass. While beginners to weight training often overlook the back, it is important for balanced upper body strength. There are large muscles here that can be strengthened and toned with several good workouts.  Pull-ups. This simple exercise can be performed with only a bar and no other equipment. It trains the muscles of your upper and mid back. Grasp the bar with your hands roughly shoulder-width apart, then pull your chin over the bar. Make sure you keep your shoulder blades pinched together to ensure that you are keeping the workout focused on your back muscles. As an added bonus, pull-ups will strengthen your biceps as well. See Do Pullups for a more detailed description of performing pull-ups. Lat Pull-down. This workout is similar to a pull-up, except it is done sitting down with a machine. Grab the bar with your hands a bit wider than shoulder-width apart. Then pull the bar down to your chest and smoothly raise it again. Cable...

For every negative thought you have, remind yourself of the good things in life. Friends, family, chocolate, sky diving, wine, your dog, Netflix -- whatever makes you feel good! Music has the power to transport people, take them away from their problems, lift their spirits and give them inner peace. It doesn't matter what music you choose - it could be Beethoven or Britney Spears - as long as you find it uplifting and empowering. Just like smiling and laughter is contagious, so too is bad humor and aggression. This is why you should make an effort to avoid people who gossip, cause problems for others, or constantly walk around with a scowl on their face and a cloud over their head. Surround yourself with happy, positive people instead and you'll find yourself smiling unconsciously. The more relaxed you feel, the better the world looks, and the easier it is to smile. A relaxing hobby will give you the opportunity to take some time for yourself and be at peace with the world, without the pressure of interacting with others. Consider taking up something like yoga or sailing. Or simply steal away for an hour or two to soak in a relaxing bath. Life is about adventure and making the most of the opportunities thrown your way. Add some excitement to your life by doing something spontaneous every once in a while, like walking in the rain, sketching an object or person that catches your eye, or randomly calling your friends up for a night on the town. You'll make wonderful memories -- each of them contributing to a happy life. Taking the time each day to do a good deed will make you feel better about yourself, while also helping to make the world a better place. It doesn't need to be anything huge -- you could make a small donation to charity, hold the elevator door for someone, buy the coffee of the person standing behind you -- anything that makes someone else's day a little easier or nicer. Their smile of appreciation will keep you buoyed up all day long. They say laughter is the best medicine, so get your daily...

Consider what effects a simple status update or blog posting could have on your reputation in the long run.  Always ask yourself, "How would I feel if my boss, parents, grandmother, and spouse saw this piece?" Chances are, they probably will see it. Are you feeling angry, upset, frustrated, or just plain bored? Don't post anything until you feel more balanced and can think straight about what you're writing. Remember that once it's posted, it can't be taken back. Daring yourself to "just put it out there" can have long-lasting consequences. Go get a glass of water and sit down away from the computer first... Approach all online interactions with your manners at the forefront. Have the attitude that most people are acting in good faith and the stupid things said online are often a result of not thinking, making errors or simply having an off-moment. And where people are deliberately provocative, don't stoop to their level; unlike real life heated exchanges, written spats are etched in stone.  Never flame anyone or respond to flamers; it's usually all about them and you're not only feeding their egos but ruining your own reputation at the same time. Never feed the trolls. Some people love to bait others and watch the destruction unfold. If you don't respond, they'll stop messing about with you and no nasty record will be left online. Accept where you've slipped up and said stupid things. Where possible, leave an apology. It can go a long way to showing you're capable of realizing and acting on your faults. Don't harbor ill will toward a person offline. Carrying your annoyance offline is likely to develop into a bad reputation. Be civil even when you feel uncivil. If this isn't possible, get off the computer until you've cooled down. It is that easy.

Since mob spawners are both incredibly resource-intensive and fairly dangerous to build without fall protection, you might want to build your mob spawner in Creative Mode and then switch the game over to Survival in order to enjoy its benefits. Creating a game in Creative and then switching to Survival will disable achievements for the game. By building a platform high up, you can create a surface on which mobs will gradually begin to spawn. These mobs will eventually find their way into the chute in the middle of the platform; once they end up in the chute, they will fall to their deaths, landing on a set of hoppers at the bottom of the chute. The hoppers will funnel the mobs' drops into connected chests that you can check for loot when necessary. If you're attempting to catch a specific type of mob (e.g., a witch), you'll need to be in the correct location for that mob to spawn (for example, witches spawn near water). To avoid terraforming the area, it's best to find a flat, even place for your mob spawner. You will need to find or build the following items:  Twelve stacks of cobblestone (768 total cobblestone) Eight buckets of water  Four hoppers Four small chests

The Green Card Lottery is only for people who want to become permanent residents of the U.S. If you only want to stay in the U.S. temporarily – for example, for a vacation, to visit relatives, or for business -- the Green Card Lottery isn’t for you. Instead, you may need a temporary visa for nonimmigrant stay or, if you are from an eligible country, you may qualify for the visa waiver program. Citizens of Canada and Bermuda, subject to certain restrictions, don’t need a visa for a temporary visit the U.S. If you have a sponsor, such as a family member or employer, or you are eligible for a Special Immigrant Visa, there may be other visa options available to you that aren’t subject to a random drawing. Information about these options are available from the State Department website, https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html. However, you can apply for the lottery even if you are registered for an immigrant visa in another category, as long as you meet the lottery’s eligibility requirements. Therefore, even if you do qualify for another type of visa, you may want to also apply for the lottery. Each year the State Department determines which countries are eligible based on which countries have had low immigration rates to the U.S. for the previous five years. People who cannot claim to be from an eligible country cannot participate in the lottery. The lottery instructions provide a complete list of eligible and ineligible countries by region.  There are three ways to claim that you are from an eligible country:  If you were born in an eligible country If your spouse was born in an eligible country, as long as both of you are named on the selected entry, are issued diversity visas, and enter the United States at the same time If at least one of your parents was born in an eligible country, as long as neither of your parents were born in your country and neither of your parents were legal residents of that country at the time of your birth (for example, they were there temporarily there on vacation,...

Sometimes, sensitivity is a product of having people be especially harsh or mean to you, or abandoning you, in the past. Consider your childhood, teen years, and later experiences (if any).   Past experiences with rejection, judgment, and abandonment may make you especially sensitive to these things. People with overly critical parents or guardians may end up especially sensitive as a result (and may show signs of anxiety or depression). Untangling some of these feelings might help you understand why you feel this way. What are you afraid of? Why are you so afraid of it? Think about it. This can stir up intense emotions, including buried ones, so expect to take weeks, months, or years to work on this problem, with plenty of breaks if you get overwhelmed.  Talking to a counselor or therapist may help. People’s opinions and behaviors are just that. We become more susceptible to someone’s opinions if we are feeling doubtful and placing too much of our own self-worth on the opinions and actions of others. When you are confident in your abilities, another person’s rude behavior or negative opinion will be less likely to affect you. Feeling proud and confident in your own skills is more important than the passing opinions of others.   Write a list of your strengths and abilities to remember what your strong points are.   Make a list of things or moments that you’re proud of. Reward yourself for these good things. Think about the sorts of skills that you demonstrate during these moments. How can you do more of those things? This will help build your self-confidence. Contributing and helping others feels very rewarding and gives you a sense of purpose. This contributes greatly to feelings of self-confidence. Remind yourself of your benefits and contributions to others around you.  Consider volunteering your time at a hospital, school event, local humane society, or website like wikiHow. Having things to work towards give you a sense of self-worth and purpose. This includes things you’d like to improve on or advance...

Think about the subjects you excelled in in school. Though it may not be your favorite thing to do, choosing a career based on something you are skilled at can help you excel and provide yourself a secure future. Look at the examples from the previous step if you need ideas. If you are particularly good at certain skills, such as fixing things or making things, this can provide you with a great future career. Schooling may or may not be necessary, but skilled labor is often in demand and you will find it fairly easy to find work.  For example, carpentry, auto repair, construction, and electrical work all benefit from people who are good at fixing things or working with their hands. These also tend to be stable, well-paying jobs. Other skills, such as a skill for cooking, can also be easily turned into a career. If your skills lie more in helping and communicating with other people, there are jobs for you as well. People who communicate and interact with others well can easily get careers as social workers or in marketing and similar business positions. If you’re more the type to take care of others, consider nursing or work as an administrative assistant or office manager. Sometimes it’s hard for us to see the areas in life where we excel. If you don’t think you’re good at anything, ask your parents, other family members, friends, or teachers what they think you’d be good at. Their ideas might surprise you! Your friends and family can also help you network and get you in touch with people in your chosen field. You can also join a MeetUp to meet others that are involved with the work you hope to do.

You may only want to tell your close friends and family members, and hold off on coming out at work or school. You’re not obligated to tell anyone, even after you’ve come out to a few people. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t feel safe coming out at work or school. You might have straight or LGBTQ+ friends who try to convince you to come out in all areas of your life. Remind them that you know what’s best for you. Some communities are more accepting than others, so assess your local climate. If you live in a more tolerant community, coming out might not be a big deal for your neighbors, coworkers, or classmates. If you encounter homophobia or transphobia regularly, coming out is a lower priority than staying safe. If homophobia and bullying at school or work are commonplace, or if being LGBTQ+ is illegal in your country, it’s not your responsibility to come out and try to change society. People do need to learn how to treat others with dignity and respect, but that doesn’t mean you need to put your safety at risk. Before coming out at work, make sure you’re protected from discrimination. Without a non-discrimination policy or legal protection, your employer might be able to fire you for coming out.  Additionally gauge the climate at work. Do people make offensive jokes? How close are you with your coworkers? If you have any openly LGBTQ+ coworkers, you could ask them for advice. If you feel compelled to live openly at work, you don’t need to pull everyone aside and come out to them individually. Without making a big announcement or speech, you could simply bring your partner or a date to a work event. For some people, coming out on social media is easier than telling dozens or hundreds of people individually. You could talk about it in a status, change your “Interested in” setting, or just let people figure it out from the photos you’re tagged in or post. While you get to decide how and when you come out, your close friends and relatives will appreciate it if you tell them one-on-one before posting on social...

Your style can show people your interests and give them a preview of your personality. There are plenty of different styles to choose from, including preppy, sporty, edgy, hipster, and many more. Look for clothes that you like online and try to come up with a style that fits your personality. If your style doesn’t fit into a category, that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with being unique! The most important thing is that you’re comfortable in confident in what you wear. Think about your plans for the day and any activities that you have going on. Sometimes, being too dressed up can come off as intimidating to boys. Try to keep your outfits casual unless it’s a special occasion like a dance or party.  If you’re playing volleyball in gym class, it’s probably not the best day to wear a dress to school. If you’re worried about being over-dressed, ask your friends what they’re planning on wearing. This will give you a better idea of what everyone else is doing and keep you from sticking out. When it comes to fashion, you can find clothes for your body no matter what size you are. The number on the tag isn’t important as long as the clothes fit, and you feel comfortable and confident in them. When you’re shopping, always try on your clothes before you buy them, and ask a friend or your parent what they think.  Make sure your clothes fit the dress code for your school and aren’t too revealing. That includes making sure your shirts aren’t too tight or low-cut and shorts and skirts are long enough. If you’re shopping for tops, make sure they aren’t too tight and that you can freely move your arms up and down. Check to make sure long sleeves hit around your wrist. If you’re buying jeans, make sure the button and zipper lay flat against your body when fastened. In the dressing room, touch your toes and bend your knees to make sure you can move around in them. If the waist is a little big but everywhere else fits, consider getting a belt. When shopping for special occasions, like a dance, keep in mind that you can...

If you are hearing an audible voice that is not your own, consult a mental health professional as this may be a sign of a more serious psychological issue.  One way to determine whether the voice is yours is to determine whether you are responsible for it. If you are not responsible for the voice (e.g., are you thinking, making, and saying the words consciously?) and if you have no clue what this voice will say next, this could be a sign of a mental disorder, such as schizophrenia, depression or psychosis. Other symptoms of a mental disorder include hearing more than one voice; experiencing non-verbal thoughts, visions, tastes, scents and touches that you didn’t call into existence; experiencing the voices as a waking dream that feels real; experiencing voices that are present all day and that negatively impact your daily functioning (e.g., you become isolated and withdrawn or the voices threaten you if you don't do what they say). If you are experiencing any of these symptoms during your periods of self-talk, it's important that you consult a mental health professional in order to rule out a psychiatric disorder that could be adversely affecting your life and health. What kinds of things are you talking to yourself about? Are you narrating the day? Are you planning what you need to do next? Are you talking about something that happened recently? Are you reciting lines from a movie? Self-talk is not necessarily a bad thing. Articulating your thoughts can help you organize them. It can also help you think through things more carefully, particularly when making a tough decision, like where to go to college or whether or not do buy this gift or that gift for someone. Positive self-talk can actually be good for you in situations where you want to feel highly motivated, such as a job interview or intense work out. Telling yourself “You’ve got this, you can do it!” can make you feel good and give you a positive boost of self-confidence before you do something important. You can be your own cheerleader! In this way,...

Traditionally, people who kept journals used literal, physical journals - small paper notebooks. You may want to use a cheap spiral or composition notebook or opt for a nicer hardcover journal. Today, however, a variety of additional digital options are also available. Any sort of computer program that allows you to input and save text is a potential journal - conventional word processors work well, as do free cloud-based writing programs like Google Docs. If you're looking at computer-based options for your journal, you might want to consider starting a blog - essentially an online journal that other people can read. A variety of free blog sites exist, some of which allow you to control who can and cannot read your blog. To begin writing in your journal, label your first entry with the date, time and, optionally, location. For instance, you might start with "Monday, January 1, 1.00p.m., Bedroom". Next, if you'd like to, write a salutation. Many journal-writers like to use "Dear Journal" or a similar greeting to start each entry. However, this is completely optional. If you're writing a blog, you may want to begin by addressing your readers. Let your emotions flow! There's no right way to write in your journal - however you feel in the moment is how you should write. In terms of subject matter, don't hold back - no topic is off limits. Your feelings, your dreams, your crush, your family life, and much more are topics you might consider exploring. Or, if you're feeling pretty average, you might just describe your day! Let your heart flow through your pen or keyboard. Get your true feelings down on the page - don't settle for anything less. As an exception to this rule, if you're writing a blog, while you'll want to be open with your emotions, consider your audience. You may want to consider censoring your most intense and/or personal thoughts. Journals are best if they're added to frequently. Writing often allows you to keep constant, ongoing record of your thoughts and feelings. So, keep writing! It's easy to...


Подумайте, готовы ли вы к такой ответственности. Позвольте партнеру установить границы. Смотрите на все позитивно.

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

If you're looking for a somewhat serious relationship, you need to factor in your partner's child. Dating someone with a child can be challenging and you need to be honest with yourself about whether or not you're ready for that kind of commitment.  When someone is a parent, especially to young children, the kids come first. Dates and plans may change last minute due to the child's schedule. You may have to step aside more frequently than is ideal and settle for spending less time than you might like with your significant other.  If some has a child from a previous relationship, their ex will probably always be a part of their life. Unless the other parent is out of the picture, your partner will always have some contact with his or her ex. Are you comfortable with the boundaries your partner has set with his or her ex? Do you think there's still underlying romantic tension? If things get serious, you will probably have to meet and socialize with your partner's ex. Take all this into consideration before getting serious with a single parent.  Many people with children from previous relationships are guarded, at least initially, in romantic relationships. This is because everything counts more when you're a parent. If you're upset due to a romantic setback, it's difficult to function and this can affect your ability to parent. Things may move slower when you're dating a single parent, as proceeding with caution is more important to people with children. You should ask upfront what the boundaries are when it comes to your partner's child. Conversations like this can be difficult to initiate for a single parent. Your partner will appreciate you politely inquiring as to what the expectations are in regards to your relationship with his or her child.  Boundaries can be simple, like how much time you should allow them to devote to their children. For example, your partner may make it clear he or she can never go out on weeknights or can only commit to dates every other weekend. Be respectful and understanding of...

This process reverts your Nook to factory settings, so you will lose all data saved to it. This is likely what you want to do if you are selling your Nook, but if that is not your plan, only do this if you are advised by a professional that you have no other option. It is recommended that if you are keeping the device, you back up your files before resetting to factory settings. The easiest way to do this is to download the Nook Reading App to your PC. The app will then sync with your Nook when you log into your account, thus storing your Nook Library on your PC. You can find the app in Apple's App Store, in Google Play, and in Windows Store. You cannot complete a factory reset without being connected to a Wi-Fi network. It is best to connect to your own private network, but it can be done on a public network, as the information should be encrypted by Barnes and Noble's system. From here, you will be able to access the settings that will allow you to begin the process of doing a factory reset on your Nook 1st Edition. Once you confirm this step, your account and information will be unregistered from the Nook. As of now, your Nook has been cleared of your registration and account. After this, you will have to confirm twice. Once the process completes, your Nook will be completely cleared of all of your content and settings. It will be as it was the day you purchased it. This applies only if you are keeping your Nook and had to do a factory reset to resolve a software issue.

This means that your Samsung account and any other accounts, settings, and content on your Galaxy Tab will be lost when you factory reset. You cannot perform a factory reset without being connected to a Wi-Fi network. It is best to connect to your private network. This involves a simple swipe downward with your finger from the very top of the screen. Once you have navigated into the Settings menu, you then need to click on the General option.

Your device will go through the process of restoring to factory settings, erasing all of your content and settings from it.

There are many different kinds of day planner, suited to different tasks and personalities. Some day planners are very simple lined notebooks; other day planners have different sections for different kinds of tasks. Take a few moments to think about why it is you want to use a day planner and what you would use it for. It is very important to consider these questions because you will be more likely to use your day planner if it becomes your sole planning tool: keeping more than one day planner at a time will be confusing and will defeat the purpose. Ask yourself:  Will I need a section for phone numbers? Will I use it primarily for remembering appointments? Do I want a day planner that lasts for more than one year? Do I want my day planner to replace another organizing tool (such as my to-do lists)? Do I want a simple, plain notebook, or one with lots of different features and sections? Would I rather have a day planner that is small enough to fit in a pocket or one that is large enough to handle notes from my meetings?  Do I want a day planner that provides more space for weekdays, or will I need my day planner primarily for weekend activities? Day planners can be purchased at a variety of stores, such as office supply shops, stationery stores, calendar stores, and online. They can cost anywhere from just a few dollars to over $50. While the aesthetics of your day planner are important, pay attention first and foremost to the layout and sections of the day planner. Make sure that the day planner you purchase is organized in a way that you find pleasing and that makes sense given your lifestyle and responsibilities. Even though function is the most important thing, you will be more likely to get in the habit of using a day planner that you find attractive and pleasing to the eye. Some day planners are very simple, with just a plain black leather cover. Others are bright and whimsical, with lots of designs and elaborate patterns. Any aesthetic is fine as long as it accords with professional decorum in your...

Do you want him or her to change for you? And if so, consider that it would be fair for your partner to want you to change for them as well. Another thing you can try is to fully accept whatever it is you want them to change. Say it aloud: "I accept that he/she is a total slob." Then ask yourself: Do the benefits of the relationship outweigh that fact? If so, try accepting and dealing with your partner as they are, rather than trying to change them.  If this is something so big or bothersome that you simply can't get over it and the person won't change, then it may be time to end the relationship.  Maybe you and your partner come from different religious backgrounds. If your partner refuses to convert and so do you and religion is very important to you, then this may indeed be a deal breaker for you. You may discover that you want to break up because you don't want to face certain issues in yourself, like insecurity or fear of abandonment, but they are sure to turn up in any relationship you're in. For example, maybe you've been cheated on before, and you're tempted to break up with this person before you get too attached and become vulnerable to being deeply hurt again. That's not a good reason to break up. You need to address your fears, rather than run away from them.  If you think your issues are the problem, then talk to your partner about them and see if you can find a way to work through them together. You may also want to talk to a therapist about your issues so you can work through them with a professional. If you're the kind of person who's used to looking out for everyone else's needs, maybe deep down you know you don't want to be in this relationship, but you're scared of telling the person it's over. You have to realize, however, that you're not doing this person any favors by staying with them out of sympathy. Reading How to Stop Being a People Pleaser might help.  Something similar is if you are only in this relationship for popularity. That's never a good reason to date someone, and you should...

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

Do you view having two boyfriends as "cheating"? If so, recognize you will be living in moral tension. If you believe you are polyamorous, on the other hand, you may be seeking relationships that will be a better fit for your personal identity. Perhaps you and they will find a polyamorous relationship satisfying. Even if your boyfriends are not themselves interested in multiple romantic relationships, they may find your honesty refreshing if you truly aren't ready to settle down with one person exclusively. Do these boyfriends meet different needs? How will you organize your time and energy?  Consider scheduling. When will you see each boyfriend, and for what types of activities? If you are keeping the two relationships secret, how will you ensure that one does not learn about the other, or vice versa? Think about how your other relationships may be impacted by having two boyfriends. Will friends and/or family approve? Who should you be telling? How will you cope with the possibility of appearing linked with one partner for some friends or relatives, and another for a different set?

Is this a party to celebrate a birthday or an international party holiday (e.g. New Year's Eve, Halloween)? Or maybe you were just thinking of throwing a Friday-night house party to get together with your friends. Things to consider with each reason: age appropriateness, decorations, theme for dressing, location, food, beverages, who you should invite, and just how many people you'd like to invite.   Birthday parties: Some examples of prominent ages to celebrate with a great party are: 10-12, 16, 18, and 21.  Holiday parties: These parties are centered close to or on the date of a national holiday. New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day, and Halloween are the most prominent of holidays that are celebrated with a wild party!  After-parties: An after-party is just that--a party that is thrown after a concert or show.  Mixer/Singles parties: These parties are for the single and ready to mingle!  Sports parties: A sports party is often placed on the day that the Super Bowl takes place or generally during certain sports seasons.  House parties: House parties are simple, laid-back parties to just get friends together and to have a good time. These types of parties are often thrown on Friday and Saturday nights. With each type of party, it is important to keep in mind the age limit and attitude of each party. For example, a birthday party for a 16-year-old is very different than a singles party or a New Year's Eve party. When throwing a party for someone who is under the age of 18, keep it clean, non-sexual, and with several fun activities to do. Or, better yet, throw it at a place that hosts young and teenage parties such as an amusement park, an arcade, a pizza place, etc. The age of the attendees should determine just about everything. Fewer guests should be in attendance (can you imagine 20 8-year-olds running around your house?), there needs to be more scheduled things to do, and the length of the party should be shorter as the attendees get younger. According to the idea behind the party, consider where you are...

Think about how you want to write your book. As technology develops, the number of choices becomes greater and greater. You will need to choose a method which works best for you but keep in mind that it may affect how you go about publishing your work. You can write the text with a pen and paper, type on a typewriter, type on a computer, or use a software program which records your voice as you talk and translates it into typed text. Different methods work best for different people. You will need an acceptable space, which allows you to work without interruption. It will need to accommodate your chosen writing method and be comfortable and not distracting.  Common options include a coffee house, office, or library. It is helpful to have access to tools such as dictionaries, thesauruses, articles on your topic, etc. You will want to be sure that you do not become distracted while writing so have everything you may need. Many people develop a specific thing, which they cannot write without, such as a particular food or sitting at a particular chair. Make sure that these needs are met before continuing.

Once you've decided what type(s) of survey(s) you'll be using, you want to give thought to how you'll give all your respondents the questions.  The internet has made online questionnaires very simple to design and send. Services like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, and others offer surveys that are easy to make and free. If you are going to distribute telephone surveys or want to conduct face-to-face surveys, expect to shell out money. The data that you gather is usually more representative, but it comes at a price. You can often hire professional contractors to conduct the survey for you. Including postage on a mail survey makes the return of the survey much more likely. Distributing the survey at inconvenient times will discourage participation. A group kept after work or at the end of a long day may give you information slanted by a fatigue or resentment. If your data didn't come to you bundled in a single location, now might be the time to gather it. Excel is a great tool for just this. Use excel to run formulas, create charts, and analyze the data. In short, figure out what the respondents had to say. Now ask yourself why. Why are your employees unhappy, for example? The answer might have be embedded inside some of your answers. If it's not, you might be able to create a new survey to help you answer those burning questions. Then, when you've figured out the why — my employees are unhappy because they aren't getting enough perks — you can implement and iterate on your new strategy.

Ask yourself honestly how you feel about the prospect of going out. Do you feel excited and invigorated about getting out of the house? Do you feel anxious and a little exhausted with the idea? Tune in to your feelings and try to listen to them. If going out does not sound appealing, stay in. In some cases, alone time can increase productivity and boost mood. However, if you're spending time alone when you want to connect with others, being alone can have negative effects. You may end up feeling lonely, stressed, and unhappy. Think about whether you genuinely want to spend time alone.  Think about your interactions with people lately. Have you been craving human connection? Have interactions been sparse or negative? If you're craving interactions with others, spending time alone could make you unhappy. It may be best to go out and see others. However, if you've been spending a lot of time with people lately, you may benefit from a night alone. If you're not strongly craving companionship, going out may just stress you out more. In this case, you may want to stay in and do something on your own, like reading a book or watching a movie. If you've had a long week, you may be feeling tired. If you're already exhausted, you may not last long at an outing. If you're just going to end up turning in early, going out may not be worth it. However, if you're relatively energetic, you may enjoy spending an evening outside of your home. For example, if you've been working overtime you may not have the energy to get dressed and go out. If it's a been a normal week, however, it may not take too much motivation to throw on some clothes and head out the door. Going out can be a wonderful opportunity to make new friends. Meeting people is one of the major draws of leaving your apartment. Think about whether you're in the mood to mingle.  Have you been stuck in a rut lately in regards to your social circle? If you've been craving new friends and new experiences, try going out and chatting with new people. However, you may not...

You may exhibit a variety of signs when you’re feeling stressed or anxious. Knowing what to look for will help keep stress from sneaking up on you unawares. Everyone experiences and responds to stress differently, but there are some common symptoms you can look for:  Psychological signs can include: trouble concentrating, difficulty with your memory, being distracted easily, feeling less creative or decisive, worrying, or frequent negative thinking.

Is your heart pounding because that person just cut you off on the freeway, or is it because of that presentation you have to give to your boss this afternoon?  Think for a moment and try to figure out what’s really bothering you. If it helps, you can write various things down on a piece of paper and then rank them. Common sources of stress include:  Family.

Are you romantically interested in your best friend?  Ask yourself whether you would be interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with this person if they did like you. How you feel about them as a romantic partner will influence your reactions towards their behavior.  If you are interested in them romantically, try to be honest with them about how you are feeling. If the signs are there, they might be interested in you as well. You could try to hint that you have a crush on someone to see how they react, or ask them if they are interested in anyone. For example, you could say "Jen, I've been thinking about our friendship a lot, and I think we could be really great together as more than friends." You may be giving them signals that you are interested in them without you realizing it. For example, you could be flirting with them, being more physically affectionate, or opening up more to them emotionally. If you are not interested in your friend as a romantic partner, you should try to stop these overly affectionate behaviors, since they could be giving them mixed signals. If you are interested in them, you can continue giving them signs that you are interested. You may still be confused about whether your best friend really does like you in a romantic way. You can talk to a close friend to ask their opinion and to see whether they know if your friend has a crush on anyone.  Do this carefully, you don't want word to get back to your best friend that you're talking about them behind their back. Only talk to friends that you really trust and who have a good perspective on the situation. You could also casually talk to one of their friends to see if they know whether your best friend is interested in someone. You could say something like, "Hey, I noticed that Zach hasn't been talking about Caroline anymore. Do you know if he's interested in someone new?" If you're still not sure, just ask. This is the only reliable way to figure out if they are interested in you romantically, but it can come with some risks....

Your partner should accept you for who you are and your parents may not be able to see beyond the age difference. Once your parents see that your relationship is healthy and that you are a better person for it, it will be easier for them to see beyond the age gap. It’s easy to get swept up in the allure of dating someone older or younger than you. Look ahead and see if the age difference will affect you in any way. Your parents may be fearful that the age gap may widen as your relationship continues. A difference in age may be more of a big deal if you are younger. Your parents may be fearful that you are growing up too soon or that an older partner is taking advantage of you. A big age gap if you're a minor and your partner isn't may also be illegal. Take their perspective into account when continuing your relationship. If your partner is your professor or boss, it’s prudent to know the rules. Your parents may rest easier knowing that everyone is protected from any legal actions. Understand that being in a teacher-pupil relationship can get the teacher fired and, depending on your age, even jailed. This is one relationship that is better to be put on hold - for both of you. If you truly love each other, you can wait until both of you are adults, and you have graduated.

When you first hop onto Tinder, you're probably not thinking of anything related to your driving time. Once you get established though, you might have a fleeting thought along the lines of "I don't mind driving a lot!"  Be honest with yourself. 50 miles for a most likely mediocre date is a lot. I'm talking about 1 1/2 hours of driving to get coffee with someone who owns more cats than bars of soap. Don't do it; it's not worth it; you're better than that. It's important that when you're setting up your profile, you take a minute to think about how far you're willing to drive. If you're younger, consider the other person might not have a car (meaning you're driving the whole way. Or they are). A five-mile max distance means that any user who fits your age and gender will show up. If you set it to 1 mile, then Tinder will show you people within a 1-mile radius from where you are at that time.  When you change location, then you are moving the center of the radius and will find different people. One reason people change their distance radius is to get more opportunities because they've already seen most of the people closer to them. The default is 50 miles. If you’re in a major city, you might want to reduce it to 15 miles; choose a longer distance if you live in a less populated area.

Contrary to the rest of your PowerPoint presentation, your title slide should be completely devoid of content other than the title and subtitle. This is considered a professional must when creating a PowerPoint. If you're creating a PowerPoint presentation for which an elaborate title slide has been requested, ignore this step. Click the large text box in the middle of the first slide, then type in your title. You can change the font and size of text used from the Home tab that's in the orange ribbon at the top of the window. Click the smaller text box below the title box, then type in the subtitle that you want to use. You can also just leave this box blank if you like. Place your mouse cursor over one of the edges of a title box, then click and drag the box around the slide to reposition it. You can also click and drag in or out one of a text box's corners to shrink or enlarge the text box. It's at the top of the PowerPoint window. Doing so brings up a list of possible slide transition effects at the top of the page. Click a transition you want to use to apply it to the slide. This completes the title slide process; you can now move on to adding another slide for your presentation's main content. Placing your mouse over the transition will cause the slide to demonstrate what the transition will look like in practice.

Negative thoughts do nothing to improve your self-image. Spend a day or two actively reflecting upon how often you think about your body. How often do you think or say something negative about your body? How often do you have positive thoughts? Chances are, you are far more critical than positive. Consider keeping a tally in a journal, note-pad, or on your phone for this task. Carry a notebook with you when possible and quickly jot down each negative thought that comes up. Include whether or not the negative thought was related to the way you might have looked. At the end of the day, you will likely be amazed at how much more negative you are throughout at single day than you realized. While this may be difficult in the beginning, it's an important part of accepting your body. As soon as you notice yourself starting to have a negative thought, replace it with something positive about yourself. Give yourself time to get into the habit of thinking positively. Try starting each day by thinking a few positive thoughts. Remind yourself of these thoughts throughout the day when you start feeling critical of yourself. For example, you might say, "I really like the way this new haircut makes me feel." Try to cut back or stop engaging with television shows, movies, magazines, or blogs that present an unrealistic or negative depiction of the body. Remind yourself that a majority of photos circulating the internet and magazine subscriptions have been altered to make the models pictured  appear more in line with standard notions of beauty and sexuality. Psychologists are worried that with this trend's increase over the last 20 years, such images are creating unrealistic ideals regarding what a body should look like. Don’t allow yourself to be sucked in by these empty caricatures with no reference in the real world. Many CBT techniques used by psychologists focus on the present and short-term using goals as therapy. While it's best to see a therapist for CBT, you can begin to practice it on your own. When you notice a...

Prepare yourself for the possibility that your partner will try to convince you to have sexual intercourse. Anticipate your partner’s possible responses so that they don’t catch you off guard. Knowing what you’ll say and how you’ll behave ahead of time will make it easier for you to clearly articulate yourself — especially if the topic arises while you’re aroused and potentially not thinking clearly. Periodically remind yourself of your reasons for choosing to abstain from sexual intercourse. You can write them down in a journal once a week or whenever you’re questioning your commitment to abstinence.  You can also think them to yourself when you’re aroused with your partner. Strengthen your resolve by reading other people’s stories online, and by reading about reasons to be abstinent. If, in the heat of the moment, you’re struggling to stay abstinent, think of all the negative potential consequences of sex: STIs (sexually transmitted infections), unplanned pregnancies, and the regret you may have if you aren’t ready for it when it happens.  Although sex is not something “dirty” that you should be ashamed of, it’s possible that you will feel regret if you have it before you are ready. If you are unsure of whether you’re ready to have sex, it’s healthier for you to wait until you are sure. As your relationship develops, you may decide that you’re ready for sex with your partner. Just make sure that you don’t make this decision in the heat of the moment, while you’re making out.  If you have the feeling that you want to have sex in the heat of the moment, it may be time to pull away and do something else. If you still want to have sex a few days later, when you’re clear-headed, you can revisit your decision. You may even want to talk it over with a friend, a close relative, a counsellor, or a nurse. If you do decide to have sex, be sure that you have protection, such as condoms or birth control. You can obtain condoms at drug stores and most grocery stores; for birth control, you will have to see your doctor or...

Have you met his family yet?  Especially his mother?  This is a sign that he is serious about you. If he regularly takes you to family events and speaks about you to his family, this is another sign of commitment. If you have met his close friends, then he probably is very invested in the relationship. You might hear him speaking about you to his friends on the phone as well, which is another good sign. Don't sweat it if he doesn't invite you out when it's boys’ night.  This is a time for him and his guys. A man who is serious about his partner will often go above and beyond for them.  Does he sit through your favorite shows with you even though he hates them?  Or maybe he takes you out for sushi even though he doesn’t eat it. These are signs of a man who cares for you. Are you often your guy’s plus one to events?  You might find you two are so serious that he no longer even asks you to be his date for major events.  Instead, it might be an expectation or assumption at this point. If you two spend more time together than apart, you’re probably serious. If you have a drawer, toothbrush, or section of a closet at his home, then he is probably invested in the relationship.  Not only are you a regular fixture at his place, but so are your things. If he keeps things at your place, this is a sign of seriousness, as well, but it is not necessarily a sign of commitment. When your car breaks down, is he the first person you call?  Or when your pet died, did he come over to comfort you?  When a man is serious in a relationship, he often makes himself available and useful.  Notice the things he’s done for you over the course of your relationship.


Подумайте, как часто вы чистите туалетный лоток. Убедитесь в том, что у вас дома размещено достаточное количество лотков. Проверьте, может ли кошка без труда добраться до лотка. Проверьте, не является ли проблемой наполнитель кошачьего туалета. Посмотрите, не вызывает ли дискомфорт у кошки сам туалетный лоток.

Cats do not like to use a dirty litter box and they may begin going to the bathroom elsewhere if their litter box is dirty when they need to go. If you are not cleaning your cat’s litter box every day, this may be the reason that your cat is urinating on the carpet.  In addition to scooping out your cat’s litter box every day, once per week you should also remove all the litter and clean the box with warm water and unscented soap or baking soda. When you are finished, dry the box and add fresh litter. Try a self-cleaning litter box to make it easier to keep your cat’s litter box clean. It is important to have one more box than the number of cats in your household. For example, if you have three cats, then you should have four litter boxes. If you only have two litter boxes and you have three cats, then the number of litter boxes may be the reason why your cat is urinating on the carpet. If your cat has to make a long trip to get to her litter box or if the litter box itself is difficult for your cat to get into and out of, that might be the reason why your cat is urinating on the carpet. Place your cat’s litter boxes where it is easy for her to get to them in a hurry, such as one upstairs and one downstairs.  Make sure that your cat will be able to see approaching humans or animals and easily get away. Cats don’t like to feel cornered Attend to the needs of older cats by providing boxes with lower sides, for easier entrance and exit to the litter box. Place litter boxes near or over where your cat tends to urinate on the carpet. Cats may avoid using the litter box because they dislike the smell or texture of the litter, or because the litter is too deep. A shallow bed of medium to fine grain clumping litter is best, but you can also try offering your cat different types of litter to see what she prefers.  Give your cat a choice of litter types by placing two litter boxes with two different types of litter right next to each other. At the end of the day, check to see which one your cat used. Provide a shallow...

If you're creating a line graph or a bar graph, for example, you'll want to use one column of cells for the horizontal axis and one column of cells for the vertical axis. Typically speaking, the left column is used for the horizontal axis and the column immediately to the right of it represents the vertical axis. Click and drag your mouse from the top-left cell of the data down to the bottom-right cell of the data. It's a tab at the top of the Excel window. You'll find this option in the "Charts" section of the Insert toolbar. A window with different chart templates will appear. Click the chart template you want to use. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so creates your chart. Double-click the title at the top of the chart, then delete and replace the chart's current title with your own title. . If you want to add axis titles to the chart, you can do so from the "Chart Elements" menu which is accessed by clicking the green ＋ to the right of the selected chart.


Подумайте, каким должен быть ваш идеальный iPad. Изучите различные модели. Определитесь, необходимо ли вам подключение к сотовой связи. Подумайте об объеме памяти. Примите во внимание мощность процессора. Выберите цвет.

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

Most iPads' storage ranges from 16 gigabytes to 128 gigabytes (though some models, such as the iPad Pro, support up to 256 gigabytes). Similarly, most iPads on the market will support cellular data, meaning you can add the iPad to your cellphone plan and use the data from the pertinent account to access the internet in areas without wi-fi. Other aspects you'll want to consider include the following:   Size - iPad screens vary from 7.9 inches across to a whopping 12.9 inches across.  Performance - Smaller iPads, such as the iPad Mini, won't be able to process large amounts of data the same way a heftier iPad Air or iPad Pro can.  Price - iPads aren't cheap. If you're on a budget, you'll probably want to opt for an older model (e.g., one of the original iPads). Alternatively, you can buy a newer iPad Mini and sacrifice some of the performance of a larger iPad. With your ideal criteria in mind, consider the aspects of the following tablets:   iPads 1, 2, 3, and 4 - The original iPads (commonly referred to as the "iPad 1/2/3/4") are no longer in factory production as of January 2017, but you can usually find them for a discounted price on Amazon, eBay, and Craigslist.   iPad Minis 1, 2, 3, and 4 - The iPad Mini line of tablets have a smaller, 7.9 inch display (as opposed to the traditional 9.7 inch display). The iPad Minis 2, 3, and 4 come equipped with high-definition Retina displays.  iPad Air 1 and 2 - The Air series of iPads is a continuation of the original iPad line. They have 9.7 inch Retina displays as well as upgraded processors from the iPad Mini series.  iPad Pro (9.7 inch and 12.9 inch) - The iPad Pro line is geared towards optimal performance, making them both the fastest-operating and the most expensive iPads on the market. Both the 9.7 inch and the 12.9 inch models have Retina displays, though the 9.7 inch model is the only iPad that can record video in 4K definition. The iPad 3 and all subsequent models of iPad have cellular counterparts, though they tend to be slightly more expensive. Cellular...


Подумайте, каким способом вы будете вести ежедневник. Включите ведение ежедневника в свой распорядок дня. Записывайте информацию, как только узнаете ее. Назначайте крайние сроки самостоятельно.

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

You may want to write down assignments on the day they were assigned or on the day they are due. This will depend on your personal style and preference.  If you write things down on the day they were assigned, this will enable you to look at each day to see what you should be working on (e.g., If reading chapter 5 was assigned on Monday, you would write it down under Monday’s space and do the assignment that day). If you write things down on the day they are due, you will need to look ahead to see what you should be working on (e.g., If reading chapter 5 needs to be completed Wednesday, you would write it down under Wednesday’s space but look ahead on Monday or Tuesday in order to complete the assignment by Wednesday). Write new information in your planner every day; any assignments, events, meetings, and get togethers you plan should be recorded daily. You should also check your planner each morning and night to ensure you aren’t forgetting to do anything. You can put a sticky note on your mirror or another place you look daily, or set a daily reminder in your phone, to help you remember to check your planner if you think you might forget.  Some teachers like to write out assignments weeks ahead of time. If your teacher does this, you can transfer these assignments to your planner. Once you develop the habit of checking your planner, you may no longer need reminders, such as sticky notes on the mirror. Your teacher may mention that a group project will be due on the last day of class; though that may seem like a long way off, write it down immediately. This goes for homework, tests, other assignments, and events as well. Write down the corresponding textbook pages and any other information the teacher tells you to include. If you tend to procrastinate, consider putting reminders into your planner. For example, you can write "Start working on Shakespeare essay" the week before it is due. If you have a major project or test coming up you can schedule time to work on it in your planner. This will keep you from...


Подумайте, каким хостингом вы хотите воспользоваться. Зарегистрируйтесь на сервере. Выберите имя домена. Проверьте доменное имя. Заполните сайт информацией.

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

A sub-domain type arrangement is available on a lot of sites, most notably Blogspot, Blogger and Wordpress. With these sites, you'll be able to choose a URL address free of charge, but have the host site's name included. Deciding what type of server you'll use depends on the content of the site itself. If you're a writing publication, for instance, Wordpress might be best. If it's a hobby site, Blogger may be best.  If you were using Wordpress, for example, your URL might look like: www.testsite.wordpress.com. These sites come with fairly intuitive interfaces, so they're great to use if you're not particularly tech-savvy. To get your sub-domain up and running, you'll need to access one of these sites and write up account info once you're sure what your site's going to be about. As with most sites, the process of registration is often quite simple. Some may distinguish between making an account and making the domain/site itself, allowing you to host multiple domains with one account. The specifics of the registration information you'll need will vary from server to server, but you'll need an email, password and domain name for a free account, and a valid credit card if you decide to upgrade to paid account. Choosing a perfect domain name can make or break a website. Although the server name will be part of your overall URL, you'll have to choose your specific site name. Pick something that accurately defines what your site is about. For example, if your site is about books, you should include the word 'books' or something related, like 'literature', in the domain name. The domain should also be relatively easy to remember. Don't be discouraged if your first choices are already taken. These server sites see a lot of traffic, and you can't be too picky with a free domain. If you get frustrated, try to find new permutations of your site's name. Try to avoid intentionally misspelling it purely for the sake of finding an available domain name. Once the registration has finally gone through, it's always good form to...


Подумайте, какими профессиями вы можете овладеть с легкостью. Проанализируйте вашу будущую финансовую стабильность. Проанализируйте, насколько стабильной является ваша будущая профессия. Сделайте доску желаний.

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

Consider what career options are available for you to easily move into. These would be careers in which you have both the necessary skills and an “in.” Examples would be working for the same company as one of your parents, working for a family business, or working for a friend. If your options are limited, choosing a career in which you can quickly enter may be your best option. One of the most important things to consider is if the career path you’re choosing will provide you with an acceptable level of financial security. In other words, will you be able to make enough money to support yourself and your family?  Do the math to figure out what your take-home salary needs to be. Take into account your health insurance and retirement options as well. You may want to see a financial advisor before making any decisions. Remember, this doesn’t have to be a lot of money or enough money by somebody else’s standards. All that matters is that it’s enough for you and what you want for your life. Job markets fluctuate as society needs different things at different times. Certain jobs are also always in demand or frequently unstable. You will need to consider if the career you choose is stable enough for you and your desires for the future.  For example, many people recently went into law school and racked up often in excess of $100,000 in school debt because they thought they’d be making a very high wage in the future. However, law positions are not in demand as much the last few years and now those people have huge debts and no way to pay them. Another example is working as a writer or any career based on freelance work. You may sometimes have plenty of work but there may be years when you have almost nothing. Working in this way requires a certain level of determination and discipline and is not for everybody. A dream board is a wonderful tool for organizing your aspirations. It can also help you hold yourself accountable as you work toward reaching your goals. Find pictures online or in magazines and paste them onto...


Подумайте, какой тип телескопа вам нужен. Примите во внимание место вашего проживания. Подумайте, за чем вы хотите наблюдать. Примите во внимание мощность вашего телескопа.

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

Different telescopes are better for different types of viewing. There are really on three basic telescope types: refractor, reflector and catadioptric. Which one you choose will be based on what you want to observe, where you are, and so on.  The refractor basically has a long thin tube with an objective lens at the front that collects and focuses the light. This one is better for viewing the Moon and planets, usually giving a nice, crisp image. It travels well and doesn't need much maintenance. Unfortunately, it is very hard to see faint objects like galaxies and nebulae. The reflector employs a large concave mirror rather than a lens for the purposes of accumulating and focusing light. This is one of the better beginner telescopes and it usually has pretty good visibility, although water has a tendency to condense on the optics of the telescope which can be irritating. Also, you can't view terrestrial objects with this telescope. The catadioptric is a compound telescope, combining both lenses and mirrors. They are good photographic telescopes and they are a lot easier to carry than the reflector. This one tends to be more versatile, but they do tend to be more expensive than the other types. You'll need different power levels considering where you are. If you have an area where the light pollution is better or worse. If you are in an area where it rains more, etc.  If you want to bird watch (for example) with your telescope, you'll be better off not choosing the reflector telescope because it won't show you terrestrial objects. If you're in a place where it dews frequently and you're planning on using your telescope at night, you'll need to consider whether choosing a refractor or catadioptric telescope might be your best option. Objects like the planets, the Moon, and closer stars need a high power, good contrast and sharp resolution in a telescope. So if this is what you want to look at, your best bet is to go with a refractor or a reflector. If you're looking at faint objects such as galaxies and...

This isn't as easy as brewing it because there's a lot of choice! You will also need to decide between loose green tea and green tea teabags; while teabags are more convenient and there's nothing wrong with using them for flavor or strength, the loose tea may feel more authentic for a full experience of enjoying your green tea. Here are some green tea types to consider:  Gunpowder – the Chinese also call this "Pearl Tea". The tea resembles tiny gunpowder pellets. When water is added, the little pellets or pearls unfurl. This one stays freshest longest. Hyson – This has a very pungent taste, and has thick, yellow-green leaves twisted into thin and long shapes.  Dragonwell – This variety is very popular in China. It tastes mellow and has a light green flavor. The leaves open to reveal a bud when water is added. Agarwood - mild traditional green tea taste. Make sure you use whole leaf tea vs tea made from the wood which is illegal to purchase. Pi Lo Chun – In Chinese this name translates to "Green Snail Spring". A rare tea, the little rolled leaves look like snails. Owing to the fact that the tea bushes are grown amid orchards, this tea tends to have the flavors of plums, peaches, and apricots embedded in the leaves.  Matcha – This is powdered green tea leaves. It appears a bright green when water is added. Gu Zhang Mao Jian – This tea only uses the silvery-tipped young leaves picked within a set 10 day period during spring. While darker than other green teas, it has a smooth and sweet taste.  Sencha – This is a common Japanese green tea. Jewel green matcha is a good choice for those who find other green tea too "grass" tasting.   Gen Mai Cha (genmaicha) – This is sencha tea leaves mixed with fire-roasted rice. The taste is savory and earthy. Also Japanese in origin. Gyokuro – This Japanese green tea has leaves that look like pine needles, with a sweet and smooth taste. The tea looks green. Hojicha – A tea with large, unrolled leaves. It tastes nutty. Purchase small amounts only, and keep it in a cool spot....


Подумайте, какую цель вы преследуете. Проанализируйте местный климат. Выясните, что говорит местное законодательство о посадке деревьев.

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

Before you begin the process of planting a tree or trees, first consider your ultimate goal. Do you want to add a couple of trees to your property to give it greater curb appeal and increase the value of your home? Or maybe you just want the pure enjoyment of seeing the tree grow and invite wildlife such as birds to sit on its branches. Knowing what you want in planting a tree will help you make the best decisions about everything from what kind of tree best suits your needs to where to plant it. You’ll need to think about the weather in your local area before planting a tree to make sure that you get a species that will survive and thrive in your garden or yard. Using the Plant Hardiness Zone scale can help not only identify your local climate, but also the best types of trees to plant.  The Arbor Day Foundation offers a system of identifying climate for plants called the Plant Hardiness Zones. It divides the United States and Canada into 11 different zones that are based on a 10 degree Fahrenheit difference in the average annual minimum temperature.  The United States, for examples, is located within Zones 2 through 10.  You can access the Plant Hardiness Zones at http://shop.arborday.org/content.aspx?page=zone-lookup and then lookup the zone in which you fall. Knowing your zone will help you identify the types of trees and other plants that you can plant and expect to grow in the zone’s temperature extremes.  Know that the Plant Hardiness Zones don’t account for local differences including moisture, soil, winds, and other conditions that could affect the survivability of individual plants. Most communities will have zoning laws about trees and digging holes on properties within its borders. It’s important to check these laws to make sure that you are able to dig and plant trees. If not, the community may not only prevent you from planting the tree, but also force you to pay fines. .  Zoning laws related to planting are often related to digging holes near telephone and electric poles and other cables....

Most boils are caused by ingrown hairs or by splinters or debris getting lodged in the skin. In otherwise healthy people with strong immune systems, the boils get resolved and fade away within a few weeks. However, if your boil persists for more than a few weeks (or is chronically occurring) and involves severe pain, swollen lymph nodes, fevers / chills and/or loss of appetite, then call your family doctor and have it examined. Large boils (greater than 2 inches in diameter) should also be looked at by your doctor.  Boils are not considered very serious, but other more serious conditions that can look similar include skin cancer, allergic reactions, wasp or bee stings, diabetic abscess, MRSA, herpes outbreak, and chicken pox. Applying antibiotic cream (Neosporin, Bacitracin, Polysporin) on boils often is ineffective because it doesn't penetrate deep enough into the skin to reach the bacteria. If your doctor confirms the skin lesion is a boil and not something more serious, then he/she might recommend lancing it if you've been dealing with it for more than a few weeks, or if it's particularly large or painful. Lancing is a minor in-office procedure in which the doctor applies a local anaesthetic and then makes a small incision into the tip of the boil to release the pus and promote drainage. The doctor will then bandage it up and send you home with basic cleaning instructions. Lancing by your doctor is always a much safer alternative to popping the boil at home yourself.  In some cases, large, deep skin infections that can't be completely drained by lancing may be packed with sterile gauze to help soak up additional pus. Depending on the size of the boil, lancing it may leave a small scar on your skin. This may be a concern if the boil is on your face, so weigh your options with your doctor carefully. Antibiotic medications are seldom needed to deal with boils, although your doctor may prescribe them if the infection is severe enough or reoccurring. For people with multiple or recurrent boils, antibiotics are...


Подумайте, когда действительно нужно чихнуть. Чихайте на здоровье. Чихайте, но уважайте. Чихайте осторожно.

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

A sneeze, known technically as a sternutation, is a major deal for the body. The typical sneeze removes air from your body at speeds up to 100 mph (160 km/h), tremendous velocities that can cause serious injury if incorrectly stifled. That's why you should never try to stop a sneeze that is in progress. For example, do not hold your nose or block your mouth while sneezing. Doing so can cause serious injury. The force and velocity of the average sneeze, if prevented from ejection from the body, can eventually cause hearing loss and damage the blood vessels in your head, especially if you make a habit of stopping a sneeze when it's already begun. If you're around others, you risk spreading harmful bacteria when you let one (or two or three or maybe even four) out into the air. The "spray" you emit can reach up to 5 feet (1.5 m) away from you! That's a radius that encompasses a lot of people. So be careful! If you can, sneeze into a tissue and dispose of the tissue. If a tissue isn't available, sneeze into your sleeve. If you do end up sneezing into your hands, be sure to wash them afterward. Your hands touch doorknobs, your face, surfaces, and other people constantly. And, if you happen to be away from water, carry hand sanitizer to save the day. When you're in a group of people, you'll surely be given the evil eye if you wind up for a sneeze and deliver with flying success. You're spreading germs and disrupting the flow, so it's best to sneeze as discretely as possible. Sneezing into your elbow can diffuse the sound. If that's not an option, grab a tissue, tilt your head down, and sneeze as quietly as possible. If you have a broken rib, a sneeze can hurt very badly. Exhale as much air from your lungs as you can. This will reduce the amount of pressure placed on your ribs and weaken the sneeze greatly, and the pain will be less. Really, if anything in your core hurts, a sneeze can be the last thing you want to encounter. Take the precautions listed above, but concentrate on the exhale. With little air to expel,...

If you are at a critical juncture, you can probably figure out when things started going off the rails, even just a little bit. Think about when the problem started, so you can figure out how to approach the discussion with your partner.  You may easily pinpoint one major reason, such as you or your loved one was unfaithful, and that changed the dynamic of the relationship. More often, you may not be able to find one major reason, but rather, a series of reasons for why things aren't working out. A lot of little things can start to add up. For example, maybe he's spending too much time with his friends, or you never make time for each other. Alternatively, maybe you're both stressing at work. Maybe you're growing incompatible. If you've been together for a long time, it's possible that you've become different people over the course of the relationship. If you're unsure where to begin, consider taking a relationship quiz that can help you assess how healthy your relationship is. Sometimes, a relationship can't be saved, especially if the other person isn't willing to put in any work. If only one of you wants to save it, that's not going to work out. Also, if your relationship is abusive in any way, either physically or emotionally, then you probably shouldn't try to save it. You should pick a time when you have few distractions. Also, it should be in a private space, so that you won't be overheard. In addition, try to choose time when you both aren't overly emotional. You should try to have a calm, rational discussion, putting emotion to the side. If your marriage or relationship is need of saving, it's likely that your partner already knows a problem exists. However, if you haven't talked about it, you need to start the discussion. It's best to do so when you are calm and level-headed, so that you can actually discuss rather than shout at each other.  It's important to not just talk, but to listen and hear what your partner has to say about what's going on in your relationship. You can show you're listening...
