As soon after the accident as you are able, you need to inform your insurance company of the incident.  Provide the agent with all relevant information you collected at the scene, such as the names of the parties involved, the make, model, and year of all vehicles involved, and the names and contact information of any witnesses. If you are asked about your injuries and/or damage to your vehicle, say that you will furnish these details once you have had your injuries assessed by a doctor and your motorcycle's damage assessed by a mechanic. This will help ensure that you do not underestimate compensation to which you may ultimately be entitled. This includes other parties involved in the incident, law enforcement officers, and insurance company representatives. This will help you avoid being blamed for anything that was not your fault and will keep your insurance company from inappropriately denying your claim.  It is best to simply limit who you speak to regarding details of the accident. Even simple statements such as "I'm okay" can be used against you later if you end up seeking compensation for your injuries. If an attorney is assisting you in handling your accident, direct inquiries surrounding the incident to him or her. Never lie about your role in an accident, especially to law enforcement or your insurance company. Many lawyers specialize in motorcycle accident cases. It may be in your financial and legal best interests to acquire assistance dealing with your situation. The following are good reasons to seek legal advice:  You were wrongly accused of being at fault by other parties involved in the accident. Your insurance claim was denied. Your damages (medical or otherwise) exceed the limits of your insurance coverage. You incurred severe physical injuries and associated costs as a result of your accident. If you were injured in your accident and received medical care, your doctor likely gave you instructions or recommendations for your rehabilitation. In order to heal from your injuries and minimize...

As soon after the interview as possible, you should send a thank you email to your interviewer. This email doesn't need to be very long or detailed, you just need to thank the interviewer for their time and remind them of how eager you are to be considered for the position.  This thank you email should be sent as soon as you arrive home from the interview. You could even begin drafting the email on your smart phone on the way out of the building. In any case, the thank you email should be sent within 48 hours of the interview, no later.  The timing of this email is very important, as it provides an indication of your level of interest in the job and ensures that the interviewer doesn't forget you as a candidate. Aside from that, it is simply good manners to thank your interviewer for their time. As soon after the interview as possible, you should sit down and make detailed notes on the topics covered during your interview. This is useful for a number of reasons:  It allows you to identify the skills, experience and personality traits that the interviewer emphasized as being important for the position. This will be hugely beneficial in helping you to prepare for a second round interview (should you be called for one) as you will be able to tailor your responses to the interviewer's preferences. It also allows you to recall the type of questions asked and to identify the questions you answered well and the areas that could use more work. Even if you don't get the job, this kind of information will be useful in preparing for future interviews. In addition, making detailed interview notes will help you to craft a more personalized thank you note and follow-up email, as you will be able to touch on specific points covered in the interview. This is significant, as it can really help your follow-up efforts to stand out from the rest.

Отправьте по электронной почте благодарственное письмо. Сделайте заметки о собеседовании.


As soon as a patient is diagnosed with an illness or condition, or becomes at risk for developing such a disease, you should begin discussing some of the tough decisions that may need to be addressed.  This can include anything from radical treatments to end-of-life care. The ideal place to discuss tough decisions is in your office, not in a hospital. Patients are more likely to make wise, calm decisions when in a low-stress environment. Some circumstances may require an immediate decision, but usually, a patient can afford to take a few days or weeks to think things over.  Stress the urgency of making a decision, but back off and allow the patient to take as much time as possible when reaching that decision. Decisions made in haste are often regretted. One goal you should have is to limit your regrets and the patient's regrets. Regardless of whether or not you share your patient's faith and religious beliefs, there can be a lot of benefit to the patient if you encourage and respect those beliefs.  If you have spiritual beliefs of your own and your patient asks about them, feel free to share your thoughts. Doing so can actually provide a good dose of comfort to the patient when things are tough. If you do not feel comfortable taking on this topic yourself, you can direct your patient to someone who can address it. Encourage the patient to seek pastoral counsel. Guide the patient to the chaplain at a nearby hospital or recommend a professional counselor who is equipped to discuss faith-based matters. Even when a situation looks grim from a medical perspective, you should affirm the patient's desire to hope and fight through the condition or illness.  This doesn't mean giving false hope, however. When the odds of recovery are low, you should be honest about that fact. This does mean allowing for the existence of hope. Do not completely rule out the possibility of something positive happening, even when a full recovery is out of the question. Regardless of how hopeful the patient or family feels, you need to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обсудите сложные темы прежде, чем наступит кризис. Уделите время обсуждению важных решений. Поймите важность решений, основанных на доверии. Подтверждайте позитивные убеждения. Поговорите с вашим пациентом. Убедите пациента, что вы всегда рядом. Предложите наилучший вариант.


As soon as possible after the lecture or reading, pull out the main ideas or key facts from the right-hand section. Write very condensed versions in the left-hand column -- go for key words or short phrases that communicate the most important information or concepts. Reviewing course material within a day or so of the lecture or reading greatly improves retention.  Underlining main ideas in the right-hand column may help you identify them. You can also try highlighting or color-coding if you're a very visual learner. Cross out unimportant information. Part of the beauty of this system is that it will teach you how to identify the crucial information and discard what is unnecessary. Practice identifying information that you are less likely to need. Working from your notes on the right, think about questions that might appear on an exam, and write these on the left. Later on, these can be used as a study tool.  For example, if in the right hand section, you have written the note "1703--Peter founds St. Pete & builds Peter & Paul Fort," then in the left hand section, you could write the question "Why was Peter & Paul fortress 1st building in St. Pete?" You can write higher level questions that are not answered in the notes, like "Why did...?" or "Predict what would happen if...?" or "What were the implications of...?" (e.g., "What impact did the change in capital from Moscow to St. Petersburg have on the Russian Empire?). These can deepen your learning of the material. This helps to clarify all of the information you have recorded. Putting the gist of the material in your own words is a good way to check your comprehension. If you can summarize the page of notes, it means you are well on your way to understanding the material. You might ask yourself, "How would I explain this information to someone else?"  Often, an instructor will begin a class session by giving an overview of that day's material, e.g.: "Today, we will discuss A, B, and C" Similarly, textbook sections often include introductions that summarize...

As soon as you notice that you’ve gotten oil-based paint on fabric, use a utility knife, plastic knife, or even a piece of sturdy cardboard to scrape it off. Next, blot the paint stain with a clean white cloth or rag to absorb any excess moisture from the paint stain. It’s important to use a white cloth to blot the paint stain to ensure that no dye transfer from the cloth to the fabric that you’re cleaning. After you’ve scraped off and blotted the paint from the fabric, use warm or hot water to rinse the area. You can squeeze the excess moisture from the fabric afterward, but don’t allow it to dry completely. Check the care instructions for the fabric that you’re cleaning. Use the hottest water appropriate to rinse the paint stain. Once you’ve rinsed the fabric, place it on a clean white towel. Use a clean white cloth to blot the area with turpentine to help lift the paint stain from the fabric.  Turpentine may cause some fabrics to fade. Test a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric to ensure that it won’t be damaged. If you don’t want to use turpentine to blot the stain, you can use minerals spirits. You may need to blot the stain with turpentine several times to remove all of the paint. After you’ve blotted the stain with the turpentine, rub a small amount of dishwashing liquid over the remaining stain. Next, place the fabric is a tub or bucket filled with warm water and allow it to soak overnight.  Use a dishwashing liquid that’s designed to cut grease. You can soak the fabric in a sink if you prefer. When you’re finished soaking the fabric overnight, remove it from the tub or bucket. Use warm water to rinse the dishwashing liquid from the stain in the sink. After you’ve rinsed the fabric, wash it your washing machine. Use your usual laundry detergent and the hottest water setting that’s appropriate for the fabric. When the item has finished its cycle, dry it as you normally would. If the stain remains after washing the item in the washing machine, treat the area with a prewash stain removing product and...

Соскребите краску и промокните ткань. Промойте пятно водой. Промокните пятно скипидаром. Нанесите на пятно жидкость для мытья посуды и оставьте ее на ночь. Промойте ткань. Постирайте предмет одежды как обычно.


As the conversation is about to come to a close, you can use your body to do some of your dirty work for you. Just back away slowly, start to distance yourself from the person who is speaking, and try to turn your body away from the person a bit. You should do this without being rude, but just to send the message that it's almost time for you to go. You can do this just before you make your excuse to leave or announce your exit. If you started talking to the person for a specific reason, then you should refer back to it to wrap up the conversation so everything comes full circle. This will make the person feel like you actually cared about the subject of your conversation, and that you weren't completely bored out of your mind. This will also give the conversation a sense of closure. Here are some ways to end it:  "I'm glad we got to catch up about your trip to Tahoe. Next time you head out there, give me a call!" "Well, it looks like you've figured everything out about the Peterson report. I look forward to giving it a read soon." "I'm glad you're starting to love living in Oakland. It's always great to see a new friendly face in my favorite neighborhood." Once the conversation is really over, you should give the person a handshake, a wave of the hand, or a playful pat on the shoulder, depending on the context of the situation. This helps send the message that you're really heading out. If you actually did like the person and would want to see them again, then you can exchange numbers or business cards. Give the person the benefit of the doubt — maybe he or she won't be so boring next time. Even if the person was totally boring, there's no reason to be rude if the person was trying to be nice. Compliment the person, say it was nice talking to him or her, or say that you're glad to have met. This is just a part of being polite and you don't have to feel bad if talking to the person was actually about as enjoyable as watching paint dry. It won't hurt you to be nice to the person. The only reason you shouldn't...

As the horse chews, he may tosses his head around as if in discomfort. When this happens, he is likely trying to avoid chewing on certain teeth and physically moving his head in response. Trapped food or bacterial gum infections can lead to bad breath, a cardinal sign of dental problems. If the bit comes into contact with a sore place in the mouth, the horse may flex his neck, or grip the bit between his teeth, in an attempt to prevent it from touching that area. If spurs dig into his cheek as he chews, the horse may learn to chew up hay and hold it as a protective pad against his cheek. When he has finished eating he drops the pads out on the stable floor, where you can find them. If it hurts to chew then the horse won't completely grind up his grain, but swallow some whole. This travels through his gut and can been seen as whole, undigested grains in his droppings. If the horse does not chew his hay properly it contains less saliva. When he swallows it can form a dry ball which gets stuck in his gullet (esophagus) in a condition known as "choke". It is important to be vigilant for signs of oral discomfort. Even if a check-up is not due, if your horse has mouth pain it is time to call the vet.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание, может ваша лошадь часто вскидывает голову. Понюхайте дыхание вашей лошади. Обратите внимание, если лошадь избегает удил.

Свяжитесь с ветеринаром, если вы обнаружили очевидные признаки.


As their name implies, antiperspirants are designed to do just that—keep you from sweating. So if your goal is to let the fluids flow, the first thing you should do is cut them out of your daily hygiene routine. Your underarms and other other high-heat parts of your body will be pouring in no time.  Make the switch to an ordinary deodorant that blocks unpleasant odors but won't interfere with your body's ability to sweat. You can also dab a couple drops of a potent natural fragrance like peppermint oil or patchouli onto sensitive areas if you're worried about how you'll smell after a few days without applying anti-perspirant. Turn the thermostat down a few degrees lower than normal. This will keep you from getting acclimated to high temperatures as quickly. Once you step into a warmer environment, you’ll find yourself breaking into a sweat when performing even basic tasks.  A chilly living space can be pretty uncomfortable. Work your way up to more frigid conditions gradually, reducing the temperature a few degrees at a time for the first week or so.  Assuming you live in somewhere with mild winters, consider simply turning off your heat during the colder months. Not only will you perspire like a champ when it comes time to work out or hit the sauna, you’ll also save money on your utility bill! For best results, pull on thick, long-sleeved garments such as vests and sweaters. Synthetic materials like nylon, rayon and polyester especially aren’t as breathable as natural fibers, which causes them to trap heat close to your skin.  To make this strategy even more effective, try bundling up in multiple layers. Avoid wearing stuffy clothing for more than a few hours at a time. When that excess moisture has nowhere to go, it starts to build up on your skin, which can eventually lead to icky complications like skin infections. If nothing else gets you glistening, a sauna will. The sweltering, moist air in the room envelopes you, clinging to your skin and pulling out the sweat. The water you shed then evaporates and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Перестаньте наносить антиперспиранты. Уменьшите температуру в доме. Носите одежду из теплых материалов. Сходите в сауну.


As they go through puberty, they usually will begin to have a stronger body odor. Discuss this with your child in a private atmosphere as soon as you sense the change.  Broaching the subject first will help your child to understand what they are going through. Puberty can include changes in mood, such as depression, and other children can be cruel if your child has a strong odor. You may need to explain that daily bathing is more important as people grow older because puberty causes body odor. Also, bacteria caused by locker rooms or sports performances requires more attention to showering. You can decide whether you want to include an antiperspirant as well. Tell them to use it every morning, usually after they shower, just as you do. While this is also a family/personal decision, some daughters may be embarrassed if they have dark hair and their other friends are shaving. Demonstrate how you shave and buy a matching razor, or the razor that they like. You will need to demonstrate how to safely handle a razor. You may also need to explain that more facial hair will grow in time. Each girl should know what to expect when the time arrives. Have some feminine hygiene products on hand and explain how often they should be changed. This may be done in science class or at a separate time. Many schools choose to split the boys and girls apart when they explain puberty and the necessity of keeping up on personal hygiene.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на изменения в организме вашего ребенка и на запахи. Купите своему ребенку первый детский дезодорант. Поговрите с дочерями о том, хотят ли они начинать брить ноги или подмышки. Поговорите с сыновьями о бритье. Расскажите об этом периоде, когда детям 8-9 лет. Обучайте подростков гигиене в классе, объясняя изменения в теле, которые происходят в период созревания.


As tough as it can be to remove stains from ordinary fabric, carpet can can be even more difficult. The tight interwoven fibers of most carpets can make it especially tricky for cleaning agents to penetrate to the oil, so you'll want to do as much as you can to remove the stain on your carpet before it sets. If the stain has just occurred, press a folded-up paper towel or rag into the stain into absorb as much of the oil as you can.  As noted above, you won't want to scrub with your towel or rag, as this can spread the oil over a larger area. Blot continuously until you're not picking up any more oil. Because it's extra-tricky to remove oil from carpet once it's set, you'll want to concentrate especially hard on removing oil from the carpet before a stain even has a chance to form. Next, as with fabric, you'll want to gently rub a neutral, absorbent powder like baking soda, corn starch, or talc into the stain to absorb extra oil from the carpet. You should notice solid clumps begin to form as the powder absorbs the oil. Unlike with fabric, however, it's difficult to simply brush these clumps out of the carpet, so you'll want to use a vacuum cleaner to remove them. Next, pour a small amount (no more than a few cupfuls) of rubbing alcohol (also called isopropyl alcohol) onto the stain. Allow the alcohol to soak into the stain and begin to dissolve the oil for about ten minutes. Blot the alcohol out of the carpet with a clean cloth. With a few common household materials, it's easy to make an effective carpet cleaner. Mix 2 cups (473ml) of warm water with 1 tbsp. (14.7ml) of white vinegar and 1 tbsp. (14.7ml) of liquid dish soap. Soak a sponge in the solution. Blot your stain repeatedly, scrubbing gently. Do this for about 5 to 10 minutes or until you notice your stain begin to dissolve. When done, blot your stain with a rag or towel to remove excess moisture. At this point, if you have any commercial carpet cleaner handy, feel free to use it. Because you've already pre-treated your stain with the methods above,...

Попробуйте чистящее средство для ковров, если оно у вас есть в наличии. Прополощите ковер холодной водой, после того как завершили  обработку пятна. В конце снова пропылесосьте ковер.


As turquoise is so sensitive, you do not want to risk exposing it to cleaners. Things like dish soap, laundry detergent, and other cleaners can easily damage turquoise. Remove turquoise jewelry when cleaning and  keep it in a safe place where it will not be exposed to any cleaners. If you're wearing things like rings and bracelets made of turquoise, it's best to avoid or minimize your use of hand lotion. Hand lotion, like most household products, can potentially damage turquoise. Sunscreen may also be harmful. If you've applied sunscreen to your chest, do not wear a turquoise necklace afterwards. In addition to drying turquoise after cleaning it, strive to keep it dry in general. Do not leave it sitting out in damp places, such as beside the kitchen sink As turquoise jewelry is very sensitive, cleaning it too often may damage the stone. To keep it in good shape, only clean the turquoise when it appears dirty.

TL;DR in Russian:

Защитите украшения от едких чистящих средств. Избегайте применения лосьона для рук во время ношения украшений с бирюзой. Следите за тем, чтобы украшения оставались сухими. Очищайте бирюзу по мере загрязнения.


As with any other, a child with ADHD will sometimes need discipline. The trick is designing discipline that will be effective, given the way the brain of a child with ADHD works. A good first step is to prepare in advance for difficult situations.  When you know you are going to be in a situation that will be difficult for the child (e.g. one where she or he must be still and quiet for a long time), discuss it with her or him in advance. Talk about what the rules are, and agree on the rewards for following them and punishments for disobedience.  Then, if the child begins to have trouble behaving, ask her or him to repeat the rules and consequences back to you. This will often be enough to prevent or stop unwanted behavior. When possible, use rewards rather than punishment. This will be better for the child's self-esteem, and may also be more effective in promoting good behavior.  Try to catch your child being good and provide a reward rather than trying to catch him or her being bad and providing punishment.  Keep a bucket or box of little rewards, such as small toys, stickers, etc. These kinds of tangible rewards can do a lot to help motivate good behavior. After a while, you can cut back on the tangible rewards, replacing them with praise, hugs, etc.  Another approach some parents find helpful is a point system. Children earn points for good behavior that can be used to "buy" special privileges or activities. Points can be used for a trip to the movies, staying up 30 minutes after the normal bedtime, etc. Try organizing points around the child's routine schedule. This can reinforce daily good behavior and build self-esteem through repeated successes.  When possible, try to make the house rules positive rather than negative, too. Rules should provide a model for good behavior, rather than telling children what they should not do. This gives children with ADHD a model of what they should do, rather than making them feel bad about doing things they shouldn't. In such cases that require punishment, be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте готовы заранее. Старайтесь вести себя позитивно. Будьте последовательны. Не медлите. Действенность. Сохраняйте спокойствие. Пользуйтесь перерывами.


As with hunting, the laws surrounding the sport of falconry can vary greatly from one jurisdiction to the next. Before you consider becoming a falconer, get in touch with your local wildlife agency to ensure that falconry is legal in your area and that you'll be able to meet the requirements for practicing the sport.  A complete list of wildlife agencies for the U.S. and Canada is available at the website for the North American Falconers Association (NAFA).  Note: the rest of the instructions in this guide are intended only as general guidelines. Always defer to the advice of qualified wildlife experts. The decision to become a falconer is one that will affect the way you spend your time for many years. Some things to keep in mind while making your decision include:  The training process to become a falconer is a very long one. As noted above, an apprenticeship alone generally lasts at least two years, while seven years or more may be required to reach master status.  A raptor requires near-constant care with no days off or holidays. This usually amounts to about half an hour each day, every day, though on hunting days this can easily be four to five hours. If you can't care for your raptor personally (such as, for instance, if you go on a vacation), it will be your responsibility to arrange for its care in your absence. A healthy raptor can live into its twenties, though many falconers eventually return raptors that they catch into the wild. Simply put, falconry isn't for everyone. While it can be an immensely rewarding, enriching experience, being a falconer involves doing things that some people may find objectionable or unpalatable. These include:  Killing animals. Most falconers use their raptors for hunting animals in some way. This aspect of the sport that requires an honest self-assessment: Are you comfortable killing wild animals? Are you emotionally prepared to see a predator capture and kill prey? Are you willing to put wounded animals out of their misery? If you're not sure, strongly consider...

As with most addictions, recognizing your behavior and coming to see it as a true impediment on your daily life and relationships is half the battle. Consult this list of symptoms, and use it to gauge the severity of your shopping addiction. This is an important way to decide exactly how much you need to cut down—whether you can be trusted to simply moderate your shopping or if it may be a better idea to simply stop shopping altogether.  Shopping or spending money when you feel upset, angry, lonely, or anxious Having arguments with others about your shopping that rationalizes your behavior Feeling lost or lonely without your credit cards Consistently purchasing with credit rather than cash Feeling a euphoric rush or deep sense of ecstasy when making purchases Feeling guilt, shame, or embarrassment upon excessive spending Lying about your spending habits or the cost of specific items Having obsessive thoughts about money Spending lots of your time trying to manage money and bills to accommodate your spending habits Keep a record of what you buy for two weeks to a month, also making note of how you pay for your purchases. Ask yourself the following questions to get a better handle on when and how you buy. Also, tracking the exact amount of money you spend for this length of time will help open your eyes to how severe your shopping habit really is. According to Shopaholics Anonymous, compulsive shopping can take many forms. Knowing these forms will help you understand your addiction better so that you can better understand how to help yourself. You may be able to recognize yourself on this list, or use your record of buying habits to see where you fit.  Shoppers who are triggered to shop upon emotional distress Trophy shopaholics who are constantly on the hunt for the perfect item Shoppers who enjoy flashy items and love feeling like a big spender Bargain seekers who buy things only because they are on sale "Bulimic" shoppers who get are caught up in a continuous cycle of buying items, only to return them later...

As with most things, painting is done best in natural light. Set up your painting station near an open window or a room that has a lot of natural light. You’ll be able to see small nuances in your brush strokes and colors that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to pick out. Each artist has their own way of setting up their supplies, but it is best to get them all placed how you like them before you start painting. Fill your jars with water, get out the paintbrushes and paints you want to use, and put your palette in the most ideal location. You may want to put on your smock or old T-shirt at this time as well. As a beginner painter, you may have an idea of what you want to paint, or you may be looking for some direction. Think about possible subjects or models you could use for your first painting. It is easiest to work from a 3-D object or photograph, rather than putting paint to something from memory. If you’re not sure what to paint, easy paint subjects for beginners include:  A bowl of fruit A vase of flowers Objects in your home A sunrise/sunset If you feel confident in your ability to paint exactly what you see, then you can go ahead and jump right into the painting. Most people, however, require an outline to follow along with their paint brush. Use a regular pencil to roughly sketch the outline of major shapes directly onto your canvas; don’t worry about details or shading too much. You can do multiple sketches on paper before ever turning to do one on canvas, just to make sure you are confident with your drawing of your subject. It is a common mistake to mix paints as you work, rather than mixing them all before you start. Use your time and paint efficiently by mixing all your paints - in all the colors you need - prior to starting your painting. In this case, it is better to be safe than sorry by mixing more paints than you are likely to use. You can store extra paint for future paintings, but it will be nearly impossible to mix the exact shade of paint twice.  Use a color wheel as a helpful reference...

TL;DR in Russian:

As with the handle, construction paper or flexible cardstock will work best, but you can still use regular 8.5”x11” printer paper if you use two or three sheets of it. Line up the sheets of paper so they are flush with one another and fold them in half along the 11” axis. This means that after the fold, the 8.5” side will still be 8.5” long. Many younger students may be familiar with calling this folding it the “hamburger” way instead of the “hot dog” way. Make sure that the pages are still perfectly aligned and fold it in half again. This time fold along the opposite axis—the side that’s still 8.5”. After these two folds, the pages should form a rectangle approximately 4.25”x5.5”. Now you want to fold the paper one final time along the same axis as the first fold—the one that is approximately 5.5” after the second fold. This last fold will be a bit more difficult to make since the paper will have gotten pretty thick. By making the head of the tomahawk dense like this, it will have more heft to rotate when you throw it. The final product will be roughly 2.75”x4.25”. Probably a hair less since the folds themselves take up some of the length of the paper. In order to stop the paper from unfolding, place more of the Scotch or packing tape over the edges of the paper on the three open sides. This part is completely optional, but if you want to give your tomahawk head a more authentic shape, then you can begin by drawing the shape onto the currently rectangular head. While you can get as creative as you want, the general tomahawk shape is a teardrop shape or like that of an elongated baseball diamond—meaning one rounded side and one that comes to a triangular point. Use as much of the current rectangle as possible. You don’t want to trim too much of the paper away when cutting the shape. With your desired tomahawk shape drawn onto the rectangular head, you can simply cut around the template. It may take a bit of work to cut through the thickness of the folded paper, but a decent pair of scissors can still do it....

As you age it may become difficult or improper for you to brush your teeth as you used to. You should use a soft bristled brush as you get older. Also, if you have arthritis, it can be difficult to brush with a normal toothbrush. In this instance you can use a toothbrush with an extra long handle or invest in an electric toothbrush instead.  A soft toothbrush can protect your gums and the aging enamel on your teeth. A toothbrush with a longer handle will allow you to keep your arm lower while you brush. An electric toothbrush will allow you to use less pressure when brushing and still get a thorough cleaning. As you age you are more likely to have dry mouth. This could be due changes in your mouth or due to medications that cause dry mouth. Having a dry mouth can impact your dental health because saliva protects teeth from decay and helps clean your teeth.  To offset dry mouth, you should drink more water and hold it in your mouth for a few seconds as you drink it. Also, you can suck on sugar-free candies or lozenges or chew sugar-free gum to stimulate the production of saliva in your mouth. If you develop medical conditions as you age you should let your dentist know, as it could impact that way that they care for your teeth. Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer can have a real impact on your dental health and these impacts need to be addressed by your dentist. As you age, you are likely to take more medications. Some medications can impact your teeth and dental health. Let your dentist know about all of your medications so that they can consider them when giving you dental care. For example, medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin and warfarin, can cause excessive bleeding in the mouth when your dentist is caring for your teeth. There are some dentists that focus on caring for the dental health of the elderly. This allows them to provide expert care for the particular needs of the elderly. You can usually find a dentist that specializes in dental care for the elderly, called...

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите другую зубную щетку. Не допускайте сухости во рту. Сообщите стоматологу о своих заболеваниях. Сообщите стоматологу о принимаемых вами лекарствах. Подумайте о том, чтобы сходить к стоматологу, который специализируется на лечении зубов у людей преклонного возраста.


As you and the girl get to know each other better, you’ll become more of a regular part of each other’s lives. If you want your relationship to feel deeper and more rewarding, then you should check in with your new friend from time to time to see how her day is going. You can wish her good luck before an important test or ask how her soccer game went; let her see that you care about what she’s been up to without asking about every little detail of her day.  Make sure that she’s checking in on you, too. If you feel like you’re always the one who calls or texts her, then you should back off a bit so there’s more of a balance. Checking in to see how she’s doing, especially if she’s had a hard day, shows that you care about more than just yourself and that you’re a person who is worth getting to know. When you’re just getting to know your new friend, you should take it slow in terms of spending time together. Seeing her once or twice a week outside of school should be enough to begin to develop your friendship. Once you’ve fallen into a slow, stable routine, you may even end up hanging out a bit more, but if you start asking her to hang out every day after you’ve just met, she may feel overwhelmed and will back away.  Don’t always be the one who is asking her to hang out. She should ask you to spend time together, too. You can start off by hanging out in groups and then do something alone together, like grabbing froyo or going to a yoga class. Once you get to know each other better, your time together won’t feel so planned and you’ll be able to just hang out with having an activity in mind. If you want to build a stronger friendship, then you should try to get to know your future BFFs other friends instead of putting them down. Sure, you may want your new friend all to yourself, but if you make fun of her other friends or refuse to get along with them, then it’ll make it hard for you to hang out with your new friend in groups. Instead, make a real effort to get to know her friends so you can be a part of the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Интересуйтесь жизнью подруги. Не заставляйте девушку проводить с вами все свое время. Не ревнуйте девушку к другим ее друзьям. Не пытайтесь подражать подруге. Ищите точки соприкосновения. Помогайте друг другу. Познакомьтесь с друзьями и родственниками подруги. Повышайте самооценку подруги.


As you approach a girl to start a conversation, look her in the eyes. This displays confidence and, when she is speaking, an interest in what she is saying. Don’t stare, however, especially when you’re not having a conversation with her. Look at her enough to show that you’re paying attention, then look away.  Don’t worry if this is difficult at first; eye contact can feel a little awkward for everyone! To practice eye contact, start with a mirror, then move on to friends and strangers. Eye contact is difficult but it prevents you from getting caught looking at the rest of her body. Plus, it’s polite, engaging, and a great way to show your interest and respect in a girl. Greet girls just like you would greet anyone else: say hello and bringing up appropriate topics. Some great icebreakers include asking for opinion on clothing, talking about a class you share, complimenting a girl on making a good point, or offering to help her. Do this at times to gain confidence around girls and build towards deeper conversations. Everyone enjoys a good conversation, and girls will be impressed with your confidence and outgoing personality. Truly listening to what she says and means will be appreciated by a girl. Put down your phone and try to grasp the complete meaning of what she’s saying. Don’t interrupt. Show interest by nodding and responding when she’s finished. No one likes having a conversation with someone who doesn’t listen to them, so make sure to extend this common courtesy to any girls you talk to.  Respond by paraphrasing the message, such as by saying, “So what you’re saying is…” to show that you get the important point of the girl’s message. When you respond, be respectful and nonjudgmental no matter how you feel. Really consider her thoughts and opinions before you answer to show your thoughtfulness. To grow trust between you and a girl, communicate on a deeper level with them. Ask a girl about herself, her interests, and her desires. Show that you’re interested in learning about her as a person. This makes...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поддерживайте зрительный контакт. Заведите беседу. Будьте активным слушателем. Проявляйте неподдельный интерес. Будьте внимательны к ее чувствам. Заставляйте ее смеяться


As you begin to pay off debt and increase your income, you will begin to feel more financially secure again. However, this feeling can be quickly reversed if you get ahead of yourself and spend your newfound excess as quickly as you earn it. Make sure that even when you feel your financial health returning, you keep your spending low and don't incur any new debt until all of your old debts are repaid. Consider allowing yourself one luxury each time you pay off a debt. For example, you might have cancelled your Netflix subscription to save money. You can set an allowance where you can renew your subscription once your credit card debt has been paid off. Allowance one luxury like this can help keep you on track. If you ever had significant debt and were late on payments or went through bankruptcy proceedings, there is a good chance that your credit is very low. In order to secure your financial future, you will have to rebuild a good credit score. This will allow you to take on lower cost loans in the future. Even though unpaid debts or a bankruptcy can remain on your credit report for years, it is possible to begin building a good credit score once you get back on your feet.  Build credit by paying off credit card in full and on time. This should be simpler now that you've reduced your discretionary spending. You can also build credit by paying back other loans on time and in the full amount. These include mortgage and car payments. Again, be sure to avoid taking out any new loans like these until you've paid off your old ones. Examine the practices and situations that got you into the financial crisis that you've just struggled to climb out of. Were you living above your means? Were you often using expensive forms of debt to finance purchases? Perhaps you realize now that you can get by with spending much less than you did before, especially on discretionary expenses. Apply these experiences to your new financial situation to become even more financially sound than you were before. If your financial crisis...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выполняйте все предусмотренное вашим планом. Исправьте свою кредитную историю. Делайте выводы. Откладывайте деньги или готовьтесь к возможному кризису.


As you get into the habit telling the truth, the patterns in your thinking that lead to lies will become more apparent. It's important to stay aware of what tempts you to lie so that you won't slip back into the habit of lying.  Learn how to disrupt the patterns by addressing anxiety at its root. If you're faced with a life event that is making you anxious, and about which you don't feel comfortable telling the truth, learn how to deal with your anxiety in a different way. Don't be too hard on yourself when you slip. Being honest is difficult, and we all slip from time to time. Remember that there's only one way to correct the problem: don't lie. Keep being honest. Don't let the pattern take over your life. Honesty is a character trait that is highly valued across cultures and societies. It's a quality that is honed  through the hard work of being strong in difficult situations year in and year out. Let truth, rather than lies, become your automatic response when you're faced with the trials of life.  Recognizing honesty in other people can be helpful when you're trying to live an honest life. Who do you admire? Ask yourself what he or she would do or say if you're having trouble coming up with the most honest approach. Seek out other honest role models - spiritual leaders, honorable characters in literature, philosophers, leaders of social movements, and so on. Everyone fails to be honest sometimes, but honorable people pick themselves up keep trying to do the right thing with every challenge. . The more you tell the truth and are accountable to the expectations of other people, the more they'll trust you. It feels good to be trusted by other people. Trust leads to great friendships, intimate relationships, and a feeling of belonging. It banishes loneliness and creates community. When you stop lying, you gain the freedom to be yourself and be accepted by others for who you really are.

TL;DR in Russian:

Распознавайте темы, которые заставляют вас ускользать от ответов. Сделайте честность основой для вашего персонажа. Постройте хорошие отношения.


As you get to know a dog, find out which types of petting it enjoys most. Some dogs like belly rubs, while some like their legs massaged. Others will growl if you get near these areas. Pay attention to the dog's body language and concentrate on areas it enjoys most. A wagging tail, relaxed muscles, and whining when you stop and move away are signs that the dog is enjoying the petting. Drooling can be a sign of excitement, although this doesn't always mean the dog is relaxed. When a dog is lying on its back, it may be scared and trying to appease you, not asking for pets. Even a friendly dog that enjoys belly rubs might sometimes be performing this action for another reason. Don't rub the dog's belly if it appears nervous, tense, or unhappy. Dogs are often nervous around children, even ones they've grown up with because children can be clumsy during petting. Make sure any children in the house know not to hug, grab, or kiss the dog, as these actions performed too clumsily can stress the dog or even cause it to bite the child. Teach children never to pull on a dog's tail or throw objects at the dog. Every so often, take 10 or 15 minutes to rub a familiar dog from head to tail. Use a circular motion to cover the dog's face, under the chin, and chest. Move on to the top of the neck, the shoulders, and back all the way to the tail. Some dogs may let you massage down each of its legs. Besides giving the dog an enjoyable massage, this will help you keep track of which "bumps" are normal and always present, and which are newly developed and could be signs of health problems. Some dogs may not let you touch their paws, but if you can safely pick up the paws, gently rub them to improve circulation and locate grit or sharp objects causing the dog pain. If the pads of the paws appear cracked and dry, ask a veterinarian for a moisturizer suitable for dogs and rub that on your dog's feet. Massaging puppies on the feet can make later nail trimming much easier, as the puppies get used to having their feet touched. Young...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, что нравится собаке. Будьте осторожны, когда гладите живот собаки. Научите детей, как правильно обращаться с собаками. Сделайте собаке массаж. Делайте массаж лап собаки или щенка. Массажируйте вокруг пасти щенка.


As you go through life, some things will go the way you want and others won’t. Making a list of your failures or shortcomings can point you in the direction of your weaknesses. Write down anything in life that didn’t turn out the way you had hoped. For example, if you continuously fail to keep a relationship going for more than a few months, write that down. If your shortcomings have a common thread, this is a clear weakness. Now that you’ve identified that weakness you can start developing a strategy to work on it. When you overcome the weakness, there’s a better chance that your future outcomes will be what you want. For example, if you struggle to get along with family and coworkers, you might be weak in communication skills. . You might not always recognize your own weaknesses. Sometimes, it helps if you ask for feedback from people that know you well. Get the opinion of your boss, your spouse, or anyone else that you know well. Avoid becoming defensive when asking for feedback. Thank the other person for their honest advice, and they will be more likely to be open with you in the future. If there are areas of life that make you unhappy, it may be because you feel weak or unsuited to handle those areas well. Make a note of such things and see if there is any correlation between your weaknesses and the changes you want to make. You will likely find that these changes all stem from an area that you are not well suited to handle. For example, if you wish your house was cleaner and your office was less cluttered, it isn’t a stretch to say that you might have a weakness in organization. Finding that weakness is the first step to overcoming it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте список событий из своей жизни с неблагоприятным исходом. Проследите общие черты. Спрашивайте мнение со стороны. Подумайте о том, что бы вы хотели изменить в жизни.


As you start to like the girl more and more, it’s only natural that you’ll both want to spend more time together. While you won’t be together every second, you should find ways to see her more, whether you walk to your classes together, sit near each other in the cafeteria, or even hang out at the mall or at a playground after school. Make an effort to see her more so you can spend more time getting to know each other, and you’ll have a better sense of whether or not she would be the girlfriend you’re looking for.  There’s no magical amount of time that you need to spend with the girl before you ask her to be your girlfriend. If you want to ask her after spending just a week together, that’s fine, too, as long as you’ve had some time to get to know each other. You also don’t want to reach the point where you’ve spent months hanging out with her and haven’t asked her out. This may be leading you straight to the Friend Zone, and it can be tricky to get out of that. If you’re ready to take the next step with the girl you’ve found and want to ask her to be your girlfriend, then you should be a little bit thoughtful about it to improve your chances of getting a yes. Find a nice, quiet place where you’re not likely to be interrupted, and make sure she’s in a good mood and doesn’t have anywhere to rush off to, either. Ask her if she has a few minutes and make the most of your time together when you ask her to be yours.  If you’ve never really been alone with the girl before, then try to ask her in a private place, but don’t go out of your way to isolate her. Before you ask her to meet you, try to check her mood. Make sure she seems happy, focused, and not stressed out. Don’t be nervous about it. After saying hi to her and making just a little bit of small talk, you can ask her to be your girlfriend as honestly and directly as possible. You can say something as simple as, “I really like spending time with you and would love to get to know you better. Will you be my girlfriend?” The sooner you ask her, the more relief...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проводите с ней больше времени. Найдите нужное время и место, чтобы спросить девушку, будет ли она вашей подругой. Попросите ее стать вашей девушкой. Реагируйте на ее ответ соответствующим образом. Если девушка согласилась стать вашей подругой, приложите усилия, чтобы узнать друг друга лучше.


As your cat ages, it will go through different stages of dental development.  When your cat is relaxed and comfortable, try identifying the types of teeth it has to get an idea of how old your cat is.  The first teeth to grow in a kitten are the incisors (around 2 to 4 weeks) and canines (around 3 to 4 weeks), followed by the premolars (around 4 to 6 weeks). A cat younger than around 4 months will not yet have its molars. From the ages of around 6 months up to 1 year, your cat will have all of its adult teeth. At this point the cat's teeth should be white and have no signs of wear. As your cat ages, its teeth will start to show signs of that aging.  Yellowing of the teeth can indicate that you cat is an older adult.  The degree of wear and yellowing will indicate just how old your cat is likely to be.  You can expect to see slight yellowing in your cat's teeth at around 2 years of age. At ages 3 to 5 years old, your cat will have increased yellowing in its teeth. Between the ages of 5 and 10, yellowing will be easily visible. When your cat is 10 or older it will show clear signs of yellowing, likely on all teeth. Another indication of age that can be seen in your cat's teeth is how worn down they are.  Carefully examine your cat's teeth to look for any areas that may be worn to help you determine how old your cat might be.  Worn down teeth will have lost their points, appearing more dull than in a younger cat. Some teeth may have the points either worn or broken off. Generally your cat will begin to show signs of tooth wear when it is 5 years old. If your cat is between 5 and 10 years old, teeth will show clear signs of wear. At ages of 10 years and beyond, heavy wearing down of the teeth will be apparent.  Some teeth may be missing at these ages. The older a cat is, the more likely it is have to have dental tartar and gum recession. This is a vague tool for aging because how quickly the teeth become dirty depends on the cat's diet.

TL;DR in Russian:

Осмотрите зубы кота. Обратите внимание на пожелтение кошачьих зубов. Проверьте зубы кота на признаки износа и истирания.


As your child grows, it becomes harder to discipline him or her as you did when your child was younger.  Punishment or the threat of punishment will only go so far; a better solution to ensuring your child’s good behavior is to stay connected and encourage your child to act properly through positive reinforcement.  Ask your child what he or she is doing in school, and if he or she has a favorite class. Take an interest in your child’s life. Invite your child to go out with you on errands or family activities like a walk in the park, or even just a walk around the neighborhood. While it can be hard to connect with children at this age, who might have soccer practice or after-school clubs to attend, make time to chat with your child for at least a few quiet minutes each day. Sitting with your child while he or she is free of distractions right before he or she goes to sleep is a good option.  Model the behavior that you expect. If you say you’ll do something, do it.  Don’t use profane language if you tell your child not to. Children copy what they see their parents do; if you act well, you will provide a positive model for your child to emulate. It is important to understand that 8 to 12 year olds are changing and becoming more independent. While your child still needs you, he or she might feel stifled by rules that were necessary when your child was younger. Compare your rules with those of other parents in order to gauge what a reasonable bedtime is, or how much TV your child should watch.  If your child has his or her own phone or computer at this age, set limits but allow your child some freedom. For instance, you might forbid using the phone at the dinner table or after a certain time in the evening. Continue to monitor your children at this age. If your child likes playing outside with his or her friends, you can let your child do so but insist that you or another adult be present to supervise. Work with your child and listen to what he or she is feeling and thinking.  If your child is frustrated by a...

Aside from eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, you can also consider taking medications. By taking medications you will be able to reduce your chances of developing a gout attack while undergoing your diet and exercise schedule. Options for medication will be described in the following steps. This medication can be taken if you are experiencing an acute attack. Colchicine interferes with white blood cells that are producing the inflammation response caused by urate crystals. When they do this, your gout attack symptoms will begin to ease up. The standard dosage is generally 0.5 to 1.2 mg, then 0.5 to 0.6 mg every one to two hours, or 1 to 1.2 mg every 2 hours until relief. This medication, which is also called Purinol, Zyloprim, or Lopurin, can be taken to help prevent gout arthritis. It does this by helping your body to prevent the production of uric acid. This medication may be taken orally. The normal dosage is generally 100 mg per day. Your dosage may be increased at weekly intervals depending on your body’s production of uric acid. This medication, which is also called Benuryl or Probalan, helps to prevent the recurrence of gout arthritis. It does this by stopping the reabsorption of uric acid and helps your kidneys to get rid of the acid. The dosage is generally 250 mg twice a day for 1 week. There may be an increase to 500 mg twice daily if your body produces a lot of uric acid.

TL;DR in Russian:

Принимайте лекарства, чтобы бороться с подагрой и похудеть. Поговорите со своим врачом о колхицине. Подумайте о том, чтобы принимать аллопуринол. Проконсультируйтесь с врачом о том, стоит ли принимать пробенецид.


Aside from various objects that can be used as weapons and traps, knowing where to run is very important – especially when you're outnumbered. Use all of your senses. Don't just look around aimlessly, stay focused on what you might have to do. You should stand safely away from your opponent unless you are ready to strike. The attacker needs to close distance to strike you, so staying just out of their reach means they cannot hit you. Try to stay on the side of the opponent, rather than face them head on. Remember that they can be an obstacle to themselves. Keep your guard up. You can cross your arms, which will allow you to bring them up and protect your face if they lunge at you. According to the rules of "reasonable force," it is your right to use as much force as necessary to ensure your own safety. If you pull a knife (or another weapon) on a guy and he continues the confrontation, then he pushed you to defend yourself. Living is your priority – damaging or intimidating your opponent enough to let you get away is your method. Look for anything that you can use for a weapon like a broom handle, a bat, or garbage can cover. Most people find it uncomfortable and unexpected for someone they attack to be right up in their space. Another advantage of staying in close is that your attacker won't be able to fully extend their arm, and it will reduce the power of their punching. Try to wrestle the person to the ground and get control over their body. If they are laying on their back, they won't be able to punch as hard as if they were standing up. The more relaxed you are, the harder you will strike and the less susceptible to injury you will be. Regulate your breathing by breathing in deeply through your nose and exhaling out of your mouth. Short shallow breaths will tire you out quicker and could tip the fight in your opponent's favor. The more excited or stressed you are, the quicker you will fatigue in a fight. Spread your legs to shoulder width and bend your knees. Going to the ground is very dangerous to the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ask a friend who seems confident around guys for advice. You can also watch how they interact with guys. Then, try to mimic some of their more confident behaviors. Listen to how they talk, watch their body language, and try to act more like them, until you find your own way to show confidence.  Ask your friends to introduce you to guys they know. This will make getting to know them easier because you have a mutual friend and there’s someone else there to talk with. Ask you friends to be your “wingmen.” If you’re talking to a guy and you’re getting nervous, have a friend close by who can step in and help. Have your friends role-play possible conversations with you. It may seem silly, but practicing a conversation can help you feel better about the real thing. You may not want to go straight to a parent or guardian, but if you have an older sibling or cousin who is close to your age, they may be able to help you feel better about the situation, offer pointers, or just share stories of times they were shy. Even if you think your parents won’t help the situation, you’ll be surprised how much great advice they can give.  Ask your family member, "I'm having trouble talking to guys. I always feel shy or like I'll say the wrong thing. What can I do?" You can ask something like, "Did you ever have issues talking to guys?" There are a variety of organizations like Toastmasters that teach people how to be more confident, and give you the opportunity to practice these skills and get feedback. You can also consider taking public speaking, theatre, or other classes that push you to talk to large groups of people. This can often make it easier to speak confidently one-on-one with guys who make you feel shy. If you’re unable to overcome your shyness on your own, it’s okay to ask a professional for help. Counselors, therapists, and psychologists have years of education, training, and experience, and their job is to help people lead happy, healthy lives.  Shyness can be a sign of a bigger health concern like social anxiety,...

Ask about the material and look for insights on how to understand the material. If you score low on a test or homework assignment, ask if you can redo a portion of it to earn a higher grade. Some teachers may not allow this, but others will appreciate your commitment to learning the information. Start at the beginning of the term and always turn in extra assignments. You can’t get an A+ without doing extra credit. Attendance is a good way to convince a teacher that you are interested. Listen and act engaged in the material and the teacher is more likely to give you extra chances.

Ask an experienced businessperson who understands small businesses or the restaurant industry to serve as a mentor for your business. She can help you grow and offer advice during difficult times or situations. Based on the food concept you tested earlier, finalize your menu. Keep the menu as simple as possible so that you can specialize in one cuisine or product.  Offer several different dishes that you cook and sell well.  Make sure your food matches the time of day that you’re selling. For example, ribs probably won’t work in the morning.  Make sure your foods can be easily carried around.  Think about foods that are cost effective. Set up prices structure for your food. Remember that you’ll need to charge enough to cover operational costs and make a profit.  Figure out range of prices and then set a final price once you’ve had a chance to research what other trucks charge for similar dishes and calculated your own costs. Gauge your prices are commensurate with similar trucks in your local area. Once you know your prices and costs, establish an invoicing and payment system. Consider the types of payment you accept and how you will write receipts and pay bills.  Open separate bank accounts for your business and personal finances.  Have separate credit lines for your business and yourself.  Keep your pricing and billing transparent for customers and vendors. Depending on your finances and initial projections, you may want to hire assist you. In the early stages, you may need to be the only person to help with cooking, preparation, or customer service.  Interview people and make sure they have some experience with food trucks. Make sure the potential employees have any necessary food preparation licenses, certificates, and permits. Social media and word of mouth are key pieces of marketing your food truck. Hooking your potential customers with social media and ads can help attract a wide array clients.  Paint your truck with your name and logo. This can attract potential customers. Use an ad agency or design...

Ask each of your family members for a fingerprint. Tape the fingerprints on a notecard or a white sheet of paper. Record each family member’s name, birthday, and gender. You can catalogue one finger or all ten if you’d like. If you record all ten fingers, it will be easier to identify found prints. Fingerprints come in three categories: arch, loop, and whirl.  These patterns are found in the lines from the fingerprints. An arch looks like a short bump. A loop looks like a long, thin arch. A whirl resembles a circle surrounded by smaller lines. These classifications are important when identifying fingerprints.  Write the fingerprint classification for each family member on their fingerprint card. The different shapes can also lean left or right. If so, indicate which direction the whirl, loop, or arch leans on the family members fingerprint card. When you find fingerprints around the house, compare them to your catalogue. Look for matching classification and tilt. For example, if the fingerprint you found was a whirl that leaned to the left, you would look through your catalogue for a similarly identified print. Store successfully identified fingerprints on the back of their respective fingerprint card. This will make future identifications easier.

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте каталог своей семьи. Классифицируйте отпечатки. Сравнивайте любые найденные отпечатки.


Ask the important questions right away to make sure you are both clear on the nature of the relationship. Decide what kind of relationship you both want. For example, are you dating, seeing each other, boyfriend-girlfriend, or engaged? You should also define the exclusivity of the relationship (whether you'll see other people). For example, you might ask, "Are you open to relocating if the relationship becomes more serious?" or "What are you looking to get out of this relationship?" While these can be hard questions to ask and might lead to difficult conversations, defining the relationship will save you great heartache and misunderstanding later. This is important to build the relationship you both want. Explore the scary and difficult subjects along with the good. Consider this as a chance to explore your feelings together honestly. Recognizing your partner’s ups and downs while you are physically apart will make you more accepting and comfortable with their low points when you see each other in person. It's understandable that you might only want to focus on the positive. But, you should let your partner know your low points. Both of you are human, and it’s ok to not always be happy. Focus on the positives of the distance, such as the ability to pursue your interests, hobbies, and career objectives. Realize that the distance will also push both of you to be more creative when it comes to communicating and expressing your feelings. Look at this as a chance to test your communication skills and emotions. As long as you see the long-distance relationship as a temporary state, you will keep your chin up and send that feeling of security and happiness to your partner too. Remember, every kind of relationship takes hard work and dedication to your loved one or partner, whether it's long distance or nearby. If you and your partner are willing to take these steps, then expect bumps and turns in the road. If you can learn to navigate them, these challenges will only contribute towards a better relationship in the...

Ask them about the things you have been noticing that suggest they don't like you. Be open and honest about your concerns. It may not solve all of them right away but may help you if your friend doesn't like you, or is angry about something in particular.  Be prepared to be conciliatory, especially if you think your friend is angry at something you may have done. Showing you are open to compromise and reconciliation encourages your friend to do the same.  When discussing your concerns, it is better to use "I" Statements. Don't start your complaints with "You," (as in "You are...") which makes your opinion seem like a fact. Instead, lead with how you feel when your friend does something negative towards you ("I feel..."). After that, name your friend's behavior and why it makes you feel that way. This makes your statement less accusatory. If you think you were in the wrong, but are not sure why it might be good to give an open-ended question. You want to allow them to talk, not give a simple answer to a direct question. Ask what is wrong, or what you did wrong.  Be sure to give your friend some space after apologizing or asking for a response. This can be a lot to process, and you shouldn't expect an answer right away. Life leads people in different directions, and those directions may not include you or your old friends. Your friend may have new interests, and new friends that share those interests more than you do. Learning a friend doesn't like you can create some negative emotions. While you don't want to suppress them too much, it is best to use them as an opportunity to think more about yourself. Try to figure out what you are feeling (anger, fear, humiliation), to figure out what you can do next. Ask yourself what you think your friend meant. People don't always know the impact of their words and actions. Bringing it to their attention can get an apology. Or, perhaps they did mean it as a personal insult, in which case you will want to think about how much you want to keep this friendship. You may have...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поговорите с другом. Спросите себя, что изменилось в ваших жизнях. Не защищайтесь и не оправдывайтесь. Проанализируйте свою дружбу с этим человеком. Смиритесь с обстоятельствами.


Ask them to pop round to make a video together. This could be a friend you always speak to or even a friend that you very rarely speak to. Explain to them, when they get to your house, any video ideas that you have. Say that you would rather do a 'What to do when you are bored' video. The amount depends on how many you can think of. Whether this is an iPad camera, a camera that has a video, or an iPhone, it will work. Make sure you have the apps required to edit it and put them together; there are plenty of apps that can do this in the App Store. It's always best to get one friend to say what the activity is, and then get the other friend to act out doing the activity after the first friend has said it, by recording two separate videos. Remember, there are plenty you can download and try out, and if you don't like it or it's not what you thought it was, delete it and find another one. If you don't like it, record the parts that you weren't quite happy with, or start over again. If you are happy with it, post it on a social media site like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or even YouTube, and show off to your other friends what you can do. It'll remind you of all the great things you could be doing instead of being bored!

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвоните или напишите другу, который, как вы знаете, сейчас не занят, и попросите присоединиться к вам и вместе снять видео. Объясните свои идеи, которые у вас появились. Напишите список из 10–50 занятий. Настройте камеру. Запишите видео. Смонтируйте видео с помощью приложения (которое можно найти, например, в App Store). Теперь пересмотрите свое видео. Посмотрите это видео в будущем, когда вам станет скучно.


Ask your doctor if you should shave the areas the doctor may use as entry points for the catheter. If the doctor does not want you to shave, chances are the team of doctors conducting the procedure will do it themselves. Possible entry points for the catheter include your:  Arm Neck Groin Follow any special instructions from your doctor for showering and washing the night before or the morning of the surgery.  You may be asked to shower and wash both the night before the surgery and the morning before you go to the clinic. The doctor may give you a special antibacterial soap to wash with. The soap will reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin and help reduce your chances of infection. Do keep your hearing aids in so you can listen to the doctor's instructions as you prepare for surgery. However, these other items are not sterile and may get in the doctor's way:  Jewelry Nail polish Contact lenses Dentures Eye glasses (Bring your glasses with you so you can put them on after the procedure.) Body piercings on your abdomen or chest. Tell your doctor that you have them so she is aware. Before your appointment, you should tell your doctor exactly what medications you take, when you take them, and how much you take. This includes vitamins, herbal remedies, supplements, and over-the-counter medications. Bring a list of your medications with you or take the original pill bottles so the doctor can see the prescriptions.  If you are on medications that thin your blood or act as anticoagulants, your doctor might ask you not to take them before the procedure. This may include some over-the-counter medications like aspirin. Tell your doctor about any allergies you may have. This includes allergies to any medications, latex, tape, anesthesia, contrast dyes, iodine, or shellfish. Your doctor will probably tell you when and how much you can eat or drink in the 24 hours before the procedure. It is important that you follow the instructions exactly because a full stomach can cause problems for the anesthesiologist.  Your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Побрейте участок тела, если так скажет сделать ваш врач. Помойте участок тела, если так скажет сделать врач. Снимите с тела все лишние предметы. Принимайте препараты в соответствии с указаниями врача. Воздержитесь от еды в соответствии с инструкцией врача.


Ask yourself if you're happy with your relationship as it is or if you find yourself thinking, “Things would be perfect if...” If you need things to change in your relationship before you can be happy with it, that relationship might be the wrong one.  All relationships come with their own set of difficulties. Even when one problem is solved, another one will come along to replace it sooner or later. Finding "the one" doesn't mean finding a relationship without problems. Instead, it means finding a relationship you feel completely happy with even in spite of the problems. Allow your partner see who you really are instead of playing along with a false façade. You need to be able to trust that your partner will accept the real you if you want the relationship to last.  Part of this requirement depends on your partner, as well. You should be with someone who loves the real you and never demands that you change for his or her own sake. Similarly, you also need to love your partner for who he or she really is. A good sign that you've found “the one” is when you prioritize your partner's happiness even above your own. Everything has its limits, but in general, you should be able to spend time and energy on securing his or her happiness without kicking up a fuss about doing so.  Aside from simply wanting to make your partner happy, you should already have some idea of how to do it. Think about little things, like the foods and activities that can cheer your significant other up after a long day. Also think about big things, like being able to get your partner to open up about worries and dreams. Like most things, your partner should be able to demonstrate the same interest in your happiness as you have for his or hers. Consider whether or not any of your priorities have shifted since you began your relationship. Selfish pursuits should seem less important than matters that affect your relationship. For example, consider your views on monogamy. If you previously had no interest in getting married and settling down...

TL;DR in Russian:

Хватит гоняться за идеалами. Позвольте себе чувствовать любовь за то, кем вы есть. Делайте вашего партнера счастливым. Сделайте переоценку ценностей. Не забывайте о внешности.


Ask yourself what you want to accomplish by having this conversation. Be as honest as possible, and make sure that your final goals are noble instead of self-serving.  You should be able to state what the desired outcome of the conversation would be. Expect to compromise by the end of the conversation, but figure out which points are non-negotiable beforehand so you know what you really need to stand firm on. Watch out for your own hidden motives. If the situation makes you angry, you might have some desire to punish, exact revenge, or embarrass the other party. You need to be honest about these feelings so that you can work through them before embarking on the discussion. You might have a general sense of what the problem is, but in most cases, difficulties are caused by deeper issues. Making progress will require you to address those underlying causes.  More precisely, you should ask yourself what behavior is causing the problem and how that behavior is impacting you and everyone else involved. Think about this until you can summarize the underlying problem in two or three concise statements. Identify any assumptions you might have regarding the other person's attitude. Sincerely consider whether or not these assumptions are supported by fact or if they are primarily driven by emotion. Try to discard those driven by emotion. Ask yourself how you feel when you consider the other person's intentions. If you feel that you've been ignored, intimidated, or disrespected, you might be assuming that the other person has had negative motives toward you. This often isn't the intention, though, even if it is the resulting impact of his or her actions. Keep yourself calm. If you enter into the conversation in a heightened emotional state, things are more likely to spiral out of control at a much more dramatic rate. Consider the possibility that personal buttons of yours are being pushed. For instance, if you've always had a problem with people ignoring your concerns, you might be more emotional if the person you're...

TL;DR in Russian:

Необходимо ясно понимать свою цель. Определите, что именно лежит в основании проблемы. Не стоит принимать в расчет собственные предположения. Успокойтесь. Сохраняйте позитивный настрой. Посмотрите на ситуацию с разных сторон. Потренируйтесь в ведении разговора.


Ask yourself which aspects of your life should be treated with the most care regardless of whether those aspects actually receive the care they deserve.  Commit to rearranging the way you act out your priorities so that it matches the way you view those priorities in your mind. Consider classifying your priorities based on several categories: personal, financial, educational, etc. Then, rank these categories to decide what goal you most want to achieve. Your personality develops continually, even in adulthood. Decide who you want to be at your core and identify the personality traits that version of yourself possesses in excess. These personality traits can be ones you already have or ones you've never demonstrated. Examples include:  Confidence Leadership skills Self-reliance Empathy Self-awareness Return to the list you made of your frustrations and challenges. Focus on learning how to overcome those frustrations by first identifying the skill you need in order to excel. Then work on developing steps to achieve those goals. If you want to be a business executive, what will it take to get there? What skills will you need?  Your plan might looks something like this:  1. Buy a good professional business wardrobe, even for dress down days. 2. Develop leadership skills by taking classes and/or reading books. 3. Get your MBA and even a doctorate. 4. Work on developing communication skills, either with reading or classes, including conflict management and resolution. 5. Learn how to keep a cool head.   Use this plan as a starting point. Research what it will take to develop those skills, and expand your plan further by adding more steps. Once you set a goal, you actually have to make time to pursue it. Start immediately and consistently pursue your goal a little each day. If you manage your time well, you have a higher chance of meeting your goals.  For instance, you may plan to improve your health through exercise. Instead of telling yourself, “I'll start tomorrow” or “I'll start next week,” start today. Do a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Расставьте приоритеты. Задумайтесь о личных качествах, которые необходимо развивать. Составьте план. Каждый день уделяйте время своим целям.


Ask yourself which personality traits, habits, or circumstances you can’t accept in a partner. Be prepared to stop seeing someone if any of your deal-breakers are present.  Separate your true deal-breakers from traits that might be annoying, but aren’t the end of the world. For instance, poor hygiene might be a true deal-breaker for you. On the other hand, you might decide you can live with a partner who likes to stay up late, even though you aren’t a night owl yourself. Your partner’s personality will play a big role in determining what kind of relationship you have with them. Decide which traits your ideal partner needs to have, and which ones you could live without.  For instance, you might decide your future partner needs to be trustworthy, kind, and emotionally stable. Take your own personality and values into consideration. Most people do best with a partner who is at least somewhat similar to them. Imagine spending an ordinary day with your ideal partner. Think about what kinds of things you would enjoy doing together. Ask yourself how much you’re willing to alter your current lifestyle for your future partner. For instance, if you love going hiking and camping on the weekends, you would probably want to seek out a partner who likes the outdoors. It can be fun to make lists of “must-haves” in a future partner, but if you get too invested in your wish list, you might miss out on a great relationship. Focus on how you get along with potential partners in real life, not how well-matched you are on paper. If you must make a list, focus on just a few of the values or traits that are most important to you. ” Sometimes great matches aren’t obvious, so keep an open mind as you look for people to date. If you insist on only seeing people who look a specific way or have a certain kind of job, you could be overlooking others who would make excellent partners. Expanding your social circle will give you the opportunity to meet more types of people.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите отталкивающие факторы. Выясните, какими чертами характера должен обладать идеальный партнер. Подумайте, какой образ жизни должен вести ваш идеальный партнер. Не составляйте слишком подробные списки качеств. Ходите на свидания с людьми, которые не в вашем вкусе.


Asking someone to hang out alone can be pretty scary, so start by asking him to hang out in a group. It’ll keep things casual while giving the two of you time to bond. Plus, if your friends are there, they can give you tips and moral support. Get your friends and his friends together for a swim at the pool, a bowling tournament, or an adventurous day at the local theme park. Once you’ve hung out in group situations a few times, you may want to hang out one-on-one. Your parents might not let you go to a movie alone, but you can ask him to go for a walk with you at lunch, or invite him to your house for family game night.  You could say, “Hey, do you want to come over tonight? My family is having a game night, and it’s always super fun!” Make sure you ask your parents before making plans outside of school with your crush. If you think he’s  interested and you want to start a relationship, it’s important to be honest about your emotions. No matter how obvious you think you’re being, your crush isn’t a mind reader.  You don’t have to declare your undying love for him, but you should tell him that you’re interested in something more than friendship.  You might say, “I really like you, and I’d love to get to know you better.” Try to do this in a private situation so it’s easier for both of you to communicate honestly and openly. Sometimes, a relationship just isn’t meant to be, so don’t take it personally. If he avoids you, seems bored when you’re together, declines your invitations to hang out, or seems to care more about chasing other girls, he may not be the one for you. Rejection can hurt, but there are tons of guys out there. Let yourself feel sad for a bit, then brush it off and meet some new guys who appreciate you for you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пригласите его провести вместе время в компании друзей. Пригласите его провести время вдвоем. Скажите о своих чувствах. Будьте готовы к тому, что он может не ответить вам взаимностью.


Asking your girlfriend’s parents for her hand in marriage can be nerve-wracking.  If you are very nervous or afraid that you’ll forget what you want to say to her parents, it would be helpful to memorize and practice the speech beforehand.  If you want a more natural conversation, or feel comfortable asking for your girlfriend’s hand in marriage, don’t prepare a speech.  Whatever you do, try not to overthink it. If you prepare a speech, practice reading it to a close friend.  Solicit feedback to help you figure out how to best phrase what you want to say. If your girlfriend was raised by both parents, you should sit down with both of them.  In the case of divorced parents, however, consult only your girlfriend’s primary parent.  For instance, if your girlfriend grew up with her mom and rarely or never saw her father, do not feel obligated to ask him for his daughter’s hand in marriage.  After her mother has agreed to the marriage, inform her father that you’ve asked for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Be honest and sincere when offering your feelings.  For instance, you might say, “She’s a wonderful woman who inspires me to be the best person I can be.  She makes me laugh and always understands what I’m thinking.”  Think about why you love your girlfriend when crafting your explanation. Don’t exaggerate or say vague things like, “She’s perfect,” or “We never have any problems.”  Conclude by informing them that they’ve raised a wonderful daughter. You have, in part, already done this by describing all the good qualities you see in their daughter.  But in order to justify marriage, you have to express your undying commitment to their daughter.  Tell them that you want to spend your life with her.  Say, “I pledge my whole heart to your daughter and will do everything in my power to provide for her the best life I can.”  Then take a deep breath and ask directly, “I would like your approval to marry (your girlfriend’s name).” Do not say, "I would like to marry your daughter.”  A comedic parent might ruin the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о том, что вы будете говорить. Поговорите сначала с родителем, который воспитывал вашу девушку. Скажите о своих чувствах. Объясните, почему вы хотите жениться на их дочери. Будьте готовы отвечать на вопросы.


Asparagus can run $4.99 a bunch during winter months, but can be found for $1.99 a bunch during spring months. Take advantage of harvest seasons! Buying in bulk leads to healthier food choices (since many are whole foods), as well as offering you the freedom to choose exactly how much you need rather than conforming to prepackaged goods that can easily be forgotten and wasted. Items to buy in bulk can be rice, flours, cereal, honey, sugars, pasta, lentils, oats (instant, rolled, steel-cut), nuts, oils, dried fruits, spices, coffee, tea, and so much more! Similarly, you can also buy vegetables and fruits in bulk during their peak season and preserve them for later consumption. If you bring your own containers to the store, remember to weigh them before filling them. You'll find scales by the bulk section, or you can take the container up to the counter to have an attendant “tare out” the weight of the container for you. Flours, sugars, salts, nuts, grains, canned beans, and vegetables are often indistinguishable from name brands and cost far less.  However, avoid generic yogurt because it often has extra sugar and additives that  counteract the healthy benefits normally found in yogurt. When meat is on sale, by all means stock up! But make sure to freeze it correctly to avoid it being a wallet-drainer. Grocery store packaging isn't meant for long term freezing. You'll want to re-wrap it one or two times. If it's only going to be frozen for a couple of weeks, a freezer bag will be adequate. Anything longer than that requires tin foil, plastic wrap, and freezer bags. The goal is to make sure no air is touching the meat. It's expensive and unhealthy. In processed food, nutrients are stripped away and most of what remains is only sugar, sodium, and chemicals. Getting rid of these foods is a great opportunity to bring healthier, more nutritious meals into your family menu. Compare the cost between sizes by the tag on the shelf. Buy larger sizes of staple (non-perishable) foods if you have the space and money....

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте те товары и продукты, на которых сейчас самый сезон. Старайтесь покупать оптом. Покупая видовые марки, вы будете экономить до половины стоимости от их брендовых собратьев. Ищите акции на мясо и замораживайте его правильно. Избегайте расфасованных, обработанных продуктов. Проверьте цену за единицу продукции. Отслеживайте свои расходы.


Assemble the brush and one section of pipe. Attach the first piece of pipe to the brush. Insert the brush into the chimney through the fireplace. Using up and down motions, begin to scrub the flue clean. Add another section of pipe to enable you to extend the brush further up the chimney. #*Continue in this fashion until you've cleaned the length of the flue. Buy a pulley rope system to be used with your chimney brush. Two ropes are attached to the brush, one on the top and one on the bottom, and the brush is operated from both the roof and the fireplace. Assemble the pulley system with the brush. Have one person take it up a ladder to the roof. The person on the roof should hold one side of the rope, and drop the other side, with the brush in the middle, through the flue to the other person waiting below. Working together, use the ropes to pull the brush up and down, scrubbing the entire chimney flue.

TL;DR in Russian:

Почистите дымоход снизу вверх. Воспользуйтесь системой шкива с другом.


Assuming you aren't constrained to immediately adjusting in a cold pool or during an open water swim, you can use your shower or bath to gradually train your body to adjust to the cold. Turn on your water and allow it to warm up. Since the water is warm, this shouldn't be hard at all. Make sure that your hands, feet, and face are all wet, since most of your heat and cold receptors are there. After a few moments, turn the temperature down slightly and shower as normal. Remember, you aren't trying to shock yourself - this is the gradual method of getting used to cold water! At this point, you should be finishing up your shower just in time to adjust to your second temperature change. If you find yourself comfortable though, or needing more time to shower, feel free to drop the temperature a third time. Each day you should find that the temperature drops are a little bit easier. This indicates that your body is getting used to the process and is doing a better job of thermoregulation. Once you have a few days or a week of this process under your belt and the temperature drops aren't as intimidating, lower the starting temperature of your shower. You'll now start the shower at the temperature of your first temperature drop... and your last temperature drop will be colder than you've ever had it before. The exact timing will be different for everyone, depending on how fit you are and how much body fat you have. Ironically, the best body type for this is one that is both in shape and fat! Whenever you are ready, continue to lower your starting temperature again. Before you know it, you'll be comfortable at temperatures that were downright shocking to you before.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прогрейте душевую кабинку или ванну. Встаньте под душ. После того как вы привыкнете к новой температуре воды, понизьте ее еще немного. Принимайте такой душ ежедневно. Понизьте начальную температуру воды. Принимайте такой душ каждую неделю или через несколько дней.


Assuming you've ascertained that your roof is safe to stand on, and that you're comfortable doing so, set up your ladder right next to the house. Fill a satchel with the chimney brush and extensions, sling it over your shoulder, and climb the ladder.  If you feel any trepidation at the thought of climbing a ladder or standing on your roof, clean your chimney from the bottom instead, using the method outlined below. If you're unsure about the quality of your roof, or if your roof is slanted and you're not sure you'll be able to keep your balance, use the other method. Attach the first piece of pipe to the brush. Insert the brush into the chimney. Using up and down motions, begin to scrub the flue clean. Add another section of pipe to enable you to extend the brush further down the chimney. Continue in this fashion until you've cleaned the length of the flue. If you are using the rope and weight method, attach the weighted rope to the brush. Hold the end of the rope and lower the brush into the chimney. Lift it up and down in a scrubbing motion along the entire length of the flue. Place the supplies in your satchel and climb back down the ladder. Use the small wire brush to clean the bottom of the flue that you may have missed with the brush.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте лестницу и поднимитесь наверх. Соберите щетку и одну секцию трубки. Отсоедините трубки и щетку или отделите веревку. Почистите нижнюю часть дымохода.


At first, it'll seem hard to find enough new members to make it worth your while, but patience and persistence will pay off in the long run. The best way to seed your new clan with members is to set the clan to "Anyone Can Join," to allow people to drift in and become members without vetting them first. You'll end up with a lot of scrubs, but you can always kick them out later. It's likely you will remain with around five or ten members for a while, depending on your rank. The higher you are in rank, the easier it will be to get people to join. If you're having trouble gaining members, be patient and gather players slowly by leveling up until you reach 20, which tends to be a breakthrough point. Many people will start to join and you will soon have a clan of 50 or more. Once you've got a good base to start with, you can change the settings and start picking stronger players that will improve your clan. Make sure they have moderately strong bases and a sufficient amount of points. If you let anyone in, the member limit will be reached and you'll find that your clan doesn't have very good ranking. Its better to start with a good foundation as a small alliance with good players, rather than a full alliance with all new players who just wanted a clan to be in. Some players like to start out by offering free elder status for the first few, while others look on this as a bad way of doing business. This tends to attract "hoppers," or players who only stick around for a short while and become inactive. It's better to accept and promote only strong players who'll improve your clan, not abandon it. You will find many players there who are not a member of a clan yet. Invite them, and also tell them to join your clan, spelling out your goals for your clan and advertising the benefits of joining.  Invite players from your trophy league, as many as possible to give your clan the biggest and best start the that you can. You can also invite your real-life friends to join up and join your clan before branching out on their...

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите в настройках клана, чтобы каждый мог присоединиться. Принимайте сильных игроков. Ищите новых членов через глобальный чат. Рекламируйте свой клан. Избавляйтесь от придурков, попавших в ваш клан. Найдите хорошего сильного друга, который будет помогать вам управляться с кланом.
