If you're not waxing and want great legs, you should still consider keeping your body hair in check. The most common way of doing this is by shaving via a razor. Make sure you shave with a good shaving gel or cream, as this will result in a closer shave. Run the razor slowly over the hair to remove it. Be slow and gentle to avoid undue cuts. Once you've finished shaving, treat yourself to a nice warm shower; this will rinse off the excess hair and get your legs moisturized.  Use a conditioner on your legs while you're shaving them. This will help result in a finer cut.   A good razor is always preferable. If you're wanting great legs, you can't resort to budget supplies. Gillette's Venus Embrace Sensitive Skin razor is a bit pricey in comparison with other blades, but it's nonetheless recommended for its quality and ease-of-use. to prevent regrowth. An epilator may be purchased and used to much the same effect as waxing. Much like waxing, it involves tearing out multiple hairs from the root. While a razor is best for getting the hair away at the start, an epilator will give your legs a waxy feeling of smoothness. Purchase one from your local beauty section, and run it slowly over your legs. Because it is pulling your hair out from the roots, epilators are as potentially painful as waxing. This is why it's better to shave your legs and use an epilator as maintenance. Depilatory creams dissolve hair on the surface of your skin. Due to the fact that these creams don't target the roots of hair, choosing this option means you will have to use the creams quite often-- every couple of days, or however often it suits you. On the plus side however, the routine itself is easy and painless, so you may find it a favourable alternative to the less frequent, but infinitely more painful process of waxing. Laser hair removal is one of the most commonplace cosmetic procedures out there. Lasers will destroy the hairs within three to seven sessions, and the effects are usually permanent. Although prices will vary depending on...

If you're part of a team, then the coach will provide a structured routine for you. But it's always good to have your own routine as well, for personal practice. Having a routine that has elements of aerobic exercise, (which means swimming for longer) as well as a moderate endurance workout (which focuses on mid-distance and moderately hard swimming) can help you get faster. Your workout should have several elements but the main part should focus on endurance, speed, and muscular endurance. Here's an example of a structured workout you can try:  10-15% spent on an easy warm up (4 x 100 easy swimming with 20 seconds of rest between each distance) 10-20% spent on drills and kicking (8 x 50s as an alternating drill, with 1 kick with 15 seconds of rest) 40-70% spent on the main set (6 x 200 with 30 seconds of rest or 12 x 100 with 15 seconds of rest) 5-10% spent on cooling down (easy 100s) Search for swim teams in your area, and find information such as how much it costs to register, what time practice is at, and what equipment you need. If you're not already on a team, being on one can definitely help you swim faster not only because you'll have more motivation to practice every day, but because you'll also get more practice during races and will be working with a coach who can help you master the correct technique.   If you do join a team, you have to commit to coming to practice every day. Push yourself at practice. Try to make the send-offs with 5-7 seconds rest. Once you've mastered that, try 10 seconds, 15, and so on. If you are on a swim team, then you'll be participating in swim meets regularly. Don't be nervous; it's not about getting first place, but about beating your best time. Most swimmers swim faster during swim meets than practice, because adrenaline is high and there's more at stake. You can "trick" your body into swimming faster just by attending swim meets. Swim clinics can teach you better form for your strokes, tips for achieving more, can help you with your dives and turns, and may generally...

If you're planning on making a shoe, it's undoubtedly important you have some idea what kind of shoe you would like to make. Shoes are incredibly diverse, and there are plenty of types you can make, not limited to loafers, sneakers, sandals, boots and high heels. Try to imagine what kind of shoe style would suit your individual style the most.  It may be helpful to sketch out a few ideas. Manifesting your ideas with an illustration can come a long way towards planning out your shoe. If you're new to shoe making, it's probably best to stick to something simple. A basic laced shoe goes without some of the finesse of more complicated types, and you can still add plenty of flair to a basic formula. Before you think about making your shoe, it's important you have an accurate and well-detailed set of plans to work on. After all, you don't want to be making design decisions on the go; shoemaking is a very precise business, and the slightest mishap could keep the shoe from turning out well.  Basic shoe templates are available on the internet. Do a search and look up some 'recipes'. If nothing else, it might give you inspiration for your own design. Online art outlets like www.etsy.com may have more elaborate shoe templates for sale. Designing your own is only recommended if you've made a shoe before. If that's what you're ultimately looking to do, try stitching together something basic with a free template, and put that experience towards making your own the second time around. You can save yourself a lot of time and give your shoes a more professional look if you harvest parts from other shoes you don't use anymore. In particular, shoe soles are good as they'll give you a reference for the rest of your stitching. Provided they're in good enough shape, you should salvage the parts you think might work in your new shoe, taking care to remove them slowly and carefully with a scalpel knife. While specific lists of ingredients will depend on the certain type of shoe you're looking to make, it generally goes without...

If you're playing in Creative Mode, you can build a simple apparatus that spawns mobs depending on the different mob spawn commands (referred to as "eggs" in-game) that you place in the apparatus. This method isn't viable in Survival Mode, and it won't automatically spawn mobs; it's best used for creating arena-style matches or traps. From the creative menu, add the following items to your equip bar:  One lever Three redstone dust One dispenser A stack (64) of your preferred mob spawn egg (you can add two or more stacks if you want to randomize your spawner) Select the dispenser in your equip bar, then select the ground location in which you want to place the dispenser. You should now have a line of redstone trailing away from the dispenser. Placing the lever at the end of the line of redstone will allow you to turn on and off the redstone. At this point, you can test the lever by selecting it; if the redstone dust lights up when you select the lever, it's working and you can turn it back off. Tap, right-click, or left-trigger the dispenser to do so. This will open the dispenser's inventory. Move the egg (or eggs) you want to use to spawn mobs into the inventory of the dispenser. Your dispenser should now be ready to spawn mobs. This will turn on the dispenser—thus prompting one of your mob eggs to be spawned—before turning the dispenser back off.  You can repeat this process to spawn another mob. If you have more than one type of mob spawn egg in the dispenser, the mob that spawns will be randomized.

If you're prone to hypochondria, don't give yourself time to think about whether or not you have a serious illness. Instead, keep your mind busy with tasks and goals you set for yourself. Studies have in fact shown that busy people tend to be happier than their non-busy counterparts.  If you are having trouble staying busy, you could:  Donate your time to charity. Start a new hobby such as painting or sewing. Play video games or watch an episode of your favorite TV show. Take on an extra part-time job. Checking out your symptoms on the internet will only reinforce your fears and make you more scared. Symptoms are often highly non-specific and may mean any number of things; typically, the most common causes of whatever symptoms you have will be what you have because, well, it is statistically the most likely. Yet, if you spend time scouring the internet for what every little head pain might mean you may jump to the wrong conclusion. For example, there are a number of causes of headaches, most of them are overall harmless. Yet, if you read about brain tumors and headaches you will probably just scare yourself. Again, the chances of your headache indicating a brain tumor is extremely low. Don't try not thinking about it. The more you try to not think about something, the more you think about. Instead, schedule 30 minutes each day, when you're in a good state of mind and fairly relaxed, to walk yourself through all your symptoms and analyze both rational and irrational possibilities. You may have to change around the time for awhile to find the best fit for you. For example, may it is best for you to worry in the morning so you can get on with your day. Or, maybe your worrying thoughts build up over the course of the day and you find the most relief from scheduling worry time towards the end of the day. Changing doctors frequently will only bring you many different diagnoses, too many tests, and varying feedback. Instead, find a doctor you can trust, who has a track record with friends and family or who has great...

TL;DR in Russian:

Старайтесь все время чем-нибудь заниматься. Не читайте информацию о симптомах в интернете. Выделяйте отдельное время на переживания. Работайте с одним надежным врачом. Укрепляйте здоровье. Постепенно начните чаще заниматься тем, что вызывает у вас тревожность.


If you're really nervous about talking to people, you may be more comfortable if you find ways to spend time with animals, preferably outside of your own home. Volunteer at your local animal shelter or start up a part-time dog walking business.  You'll be able to make new furry friends, but more importantly, you'll eventually have to talk to at least one or two actual people, such as the other volunteers or the dog owners. If you feel relaxed around animals, you should be more comfortable talking to other people, and the topic of conversation can stay focused on the animals, so you won't have to struggle so hard to think of things to say. If you're just beginning to try to break out of your shell, you don't need to push yourself to start a conversation with a stranger (or even a classmate or coworker) or start a new friendship immediately. Take small steps, and make it a priority to get out and about on a daily basis where you'll be around other people. Take a daily walk, or go to the coffee shop once day. Start to get comfortable just being near other people. It's easy to note all of the ways that people ignore, shun, forget, or exclude you.Focusing on just these negative aspects of interactions is counter-productive, though. When you are around other people be on the look-out for clues that they may be welcome to getting to know you better or might be open to you joining them.  Is anyone flashing you a friendly smile? Are any “hi-how-are-you's” directed your way? Did someone move their bag over on the bus for you to sit? Did the person in front of you at the cafeteria choose the same dessert as you and smile? These all may be invitations for you to strike up a conversation. Be careful not to automatically dismiss them as the other person just being polite. Besides looking for the ways in which people are offering you invitations, you should try to draw people towards you. The easiest way to send the message to other people that you are open for talking or hanging out is by smiling at them and offering a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Беседуйте с животными. Сосредоточьтесь на том, чтобы просто быть рядом с людьми. Старайтесь не концентрироваться на негативных вещах. Учитесь замечать социальные намеки. Демонстрируйте дружелюбие. Создавайте позитивную атмосферу. Обращайте внимание на особенности людей вокруг вас, прежде чем начнете разговаривать с ними.

If you're really serious about toning up the look of your jawline, there are actually programs available you can purchase that will run you through a wide variety of exercises and face-improving motions. Compared to most other fitness programs, they're relatively cheap and quite convenient to follow up on. Smiling comes more naturally to some people than others, but the fact remains that it has a laundry list of benefits to the muscles in your face. As it goes with the rest of your body, the more you exercise your face, the better and tighter it'll look. Smiling is a great exercise because it is psychologically tied in with the experience of being happy, so it's not uncommon to notice an improvement in your mood if you make a regular habit of smiling on impulse. Getting a better jawline is correlative to working the jaw itself. To do this, try clenching your jaw for 10 seconds before releasing it. This should come with a sense of mild discomfort as well as a subtle burn. Try doing this as many times as you want-- between 10 and 15 should be a good place to start in terms of reps.  As time goes on, you should increase the amount of time you're clenching your jaw. This will encourage your jaw to continue toning. Jaw clenching is generally quite easy to fit into a daily routine. Due to the fact that it doesn't look as apparent and silly as many other facial exercises, it's even something you can do at work or on the train. Tilt your head upwards and keep your eyes fixed on the ceiling. Next, strain your lips, as if you were trying to kiss something an inch above you. Maintain the strain for 5 seconds per rep, after which you should relax and give your lips a few seconds to recuperate. You can repeat this exercise as many times as you'd like, although 10 is a good place. This exercise is a great way to improve facial tightness, as the direction and strain work out a wide variety of facial muscles. Massaging your temples and unfurling your brow is a good way to encourage blood flow and circulation throughout your...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you're recording a full-screen program, you probably don't have to worry about this, but if you are giving tutorials involving multiple windows you'll want to ensure that your desktop isn't distracting.  Move all of the icons off of your desktop. Either put them in a folder or move them to a second monitor. You can move them all back when you're done recording. Close any unrelated windows. Make sure any chat programs, emails, browsers, and anything else unrelated is closed and not drawing attention. Change your wallpaper to something muted. If you have a colorful, busy wallpaper, or it's images of your family, set it to something neutral for the recording. Write a basic outline of your presentation, with notes on when to switch windows and important tips to remember. This will help ensure that you get all of your information across, and help you to avoid "ummms" and "uhhhs".  During the script writing process, practice the presentation to make sure that it flows well. Some people don't need scripts, others do. Get familiar with the process and do what works best for your style of presenting. Viewers will get the most out of your Camtasia presentation if it is narrated. In order to record the best-sounding audio possible, you're going to want a decent microphone that connects to your computer via USB.  Consider the acoustical environment of where you are recording. A large room with big empty walls will create an echo like sound. Background noise will distract the viewer.  You can also use a webcam to capture your face during a presentation as well.

If you're serious about this running thing, it's a good idea to have yourself fitted at a running store, as different shoes are designed for different types of feet.  The right shoe for one person is the wrong shoe for another and will cause injury.  A good running store can test you to make sure you get the right shoe. It is a good idea to bring along a used pair of shoes as the wear pattern can help determine the pronation of your feet. Identifying pronation will help you choose the right shoes to support your foot type.  The person helping you can use an old pair of shoes to determine where you put the most pressure on your feet, and can help find the design that will most minimize injury. Your typical sporting goods store does not have the expertise to get you in the correct shoe. Once you've done one, you'll probably want to do more. To train for a 5K race, which is just over 3 miles (4.8 kilometers), follow a weekly schedule  3 days a week for a 2-month period:   Week 1: Brisk five-minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.  Week 2: Brisk five-minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes.  Week 3: Brisk five-minute warm-up walk, then do two repetitions of the following:  Jog 200 yards / 180 meters (or 90 seconds) Walk 200 yards / 180 meters (or 90 seconds) Jog 400 yards / 365 meters (or 3 minutes) Walk 400 yards / 365 meters (or 3 minutes)    Week 4: Brisk 5 minute warm-up walk, then:  Jog 1/4 mile / 400 meters (or 3 minutes) Walk 1/8 mile / 200 meters (or 90 seconds) Jog 1/2 mile / 800 meters (or 5 minutes) Walk 1/4 mile / 400 meters (or 2-1/2 minutes) Jog 1/4 mile / 400 meters (or 3 minutes) Walk 1/8 mile / 200 meters (or 90 seconds) Jog 1/2 mile / 800 meters (or 5 minutes)    Week 5:  Workout 1: Brisk 5 minute warm-up walk, then:  Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes) Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes) Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) Jog 1/2 mile (or 5...

If you're trying to get an "unlovable" person to come out of his or her shell, hanging out one-on-one may be awkward and stressful for both of you. Instead, try inviting this person to an event where lots of people will be in attendance. At the event, do your best to make this person feel welcome, but try not to make her feel singled-out, as this can be terribly awkward and may discourage her from attending in the future. For example, let's say you throw a party and invite the socially awkward outcast character from the examples above as a sign of goodwill. When he actually shows up, you're pleasantly surprised. However, you shouldn't make a huge production of welcoming him to the party or he'll get the idea that he's the center of attention, which, in his experience, has been a bad thing. Instead, welcome him exactly as you'd welcome any other acquaintance to the party. During the party, you might try starting a pleasant conversation with him, introducing him to your friends, and bringing him into group conversations if you sense he's being left out. He'll probably appreciate your help. Over time, as this "unlovable" person becomes more comfortable at group events, you may or may not find that he naturally opens up and becomes more pleasant to be around. If he does, you may cautiously try inviting him to events with fewer people where he'll be able to have more meaningful interactions with others. You shouldn't ever feel like you have to do this — in fact, acting like someone's a close friend when you actually don't care for him is disingenuous and unkind. However, if you are starting to get along with this formerly "unlovable" person, you shouldn't be discouraged from trying this out, either. For instance, in our continuing example, if this person has reacted well to being invited to a few parties, you may want to invite him to hang out with a smaller, closer circle of friends when you go bowling or head to the bar. If he seems to continue to act well, you can probably safely proceed to as you would with...

If you're using live food, no preparation is necessary as long as the food was raised in sanitary conditions. Frozen food, however, needs to be thawed properly and heated to a temperature that makes it more appealing for a snake. If you're using frozen pinkies, fuzzies, hoppers or rats, follow this method for thawing and preparing the food:  Lay the frozen food on a paper towel and set it near a fan. The small body will quickly thaw. Optionally you can put the food in a plastic bag and then submerge it in warm water. Thawing can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours depending on method and size of food. Check every so often to make sure the food is thoroughly thawed. Thaw only as much as you need for one feeding. Heat the food. Many snakes won't eat if they can't sense the correct temperature that mimics a live food. You can heat the food in a bag with hot water or use a blow dryer for about ten minutes. Never use a microwave or oven as this can cause the food to explode. You'll have to get to know your snake before landing on the best way to offer food. Some snakes prefer to have the food set into the cage so they can find it for themselves, while others prefer to have it dangled in the cage, attracted by the movement this creates. Try both methods to figure out what works best for your snake.  When you offer food by placing it in the cage, you may put it on a small plate or in a shallow bowl that will keep it separate from the snake's bedding. A snake may rarely swallow its bedding. When you offer food by dangling it in the cage, use a pair of tweezers or forceps. Some use their hands, but this is not recommended. Snakes with a strong feeding response may accidentally bite you confusing your hand's heat or mixed smell with the food's. Whichever method you choose, give the snake time to decide to eat. Research your snake's species. Some may feed within a few minutes, but others (like ball pythons) may require leaving the thawed food in overnight. For most cases, if the snake does not eat the food over...

If you're using the default Contacts app on most Androids, look for a blue and white icon with an address book or peoples' heads. It's at the top-left corner of the screen of the default Contacts app. Different versions of Android have different Contacts apps. The steps may vary by phone or tablet.  A list of accounts will appear. A check mark will appear next to the account. Some Androids may also give you the option to export to an SD card. If you want to do that, select that option. If it's your first time using this feature, you may have to tap ALLOW to continue. You can export to an SD card (if you have one), a folder on your Android, or to your Google Drive.  To find a location, tap ☰ at the top-left corner of the screen, navigate to a location, then tap the folder where you want to save the backups. Be sure to select a folder you'll remember later. This will be helpful if you need to restore your contacts from the backup. It's at the bottom of the screen. The contacts are now saved to the selected location as a .VCF file. To restore your contacts from this backup in the future, return to the Settings area of the Contacts app, tap Import (instead of Export), then select the .VCF file.

If you're using your own equipment and products, you'll need to purchase them from a wholesaler to save money (get official receipts to allow you to claim back sales tax, etc.).  Use natural cleaning products that are non-toxic. This is an important selling point, especially for people with children and pets and who have concerns for their health and well-being. Natural products that contain essential oils tend to be appreciated for their lovely lingering scent. Use trusted brands. It's harder to sell a product to a client when they've never heard of it. If you have your own homemade cleaning products, be prepared to explain why they're good, healthy and reliable––sometimes offering literature you've prepared can help to convince the client better than a long-winded discussion. Many customers prefer that you bring your own cleaning supplies. That way they do not have to worry about going to the store for cleaning supplies before you clean. Some customers have special cleaners for certain appliances or floors in their houses––these customers usually will have these cleaners on hand for you to use and you must use these or risk harming the surfaces (which you may end up having to pay for). In general, you can use the customer's vacuum cleaner. That way you do not have to carry a heavy vacuum from house to house––most clients will have one. While you won't be expected to wear your best clothes, it's important to present neatly and with clean clothing. Your old rags won't pass muster when you are trying to create a professional and reliable image––select clothing that washes well, looks tidy and is very flexible and comfortable. Keep it in good condition and have several sets of clothing to change into during the week, cutting down on constant washing. As discussed in the business plan, you'll need a vehicle for attending client's houses and carrying your gear. Consider the costs of hiring a car or van for cleaning days or purchasing a cheap car or van for constant use. If hiring a vehicle, consider using...

If you're worried about being cornered at a family event, talk to family members individually beforehand. Explain to them your situation regarding children. Answer any specific questions they may have before you meet up with the whole family. Sometimes, a direct approach is the best way to get people to stop asking questions. Of course, you should only give this answer if you actually are having fertility problems and you feel comfortable saying that. Often, family members will back off once you establish that you're having trouble. For instance, you could say, "Well, actually, we're trying to have a family now, but biological children may not be in our cards. In a year or 2, we may decide to adopt." Whether you don't have room for a family or you don't have the money to have a baby right now, tell your family about the situation in a polite way. That lets them know you will be ready someday, but you're not going to have a baby anytime soon. For example, you could say, "I know you're ready for babies in the family, but truthfully, we aren't ready financially to have a child. We don't want to have a child until we can fully support them." Many couples want to make sure they've created a steady relationship before having kids. You can say that to a family member to let them know it could be a few years. For instance, you might say, "You know, we're going to wait a few years before we have kids. We want to make sure our relationship is rock solid before we bring kids into it." If you plan to never have kids, it's best to upfront about that. It may be a disappointment, but your family will have more time to get over it if you tell them now. For example, you could say, "Well, the truth is, we love our family as it is. We don't think we need kids to complete it, so we've decided we aren't having kids."

If you're worried about the disease spreading, having your partner talk to their doctor. Your partner's doctor can recommend treatment options that lessen the likelihood of an outbreak spreading.  Be respectful of your partner when suggesting they see a doctor. Talking about herpes can be embarrassing and stressful; however, your partner told you about their infection because they care about your health. Explain to your partner you want to make sure the two of you have as fulfilling a sex life as possible. You feel a doctor may be able to suggest medications or other treatment options that can lessen the likelihood of the virus being transmitted. You can say something like, "I like you and I really want to have sex with you, but I want to make sure we both stay healthy and safe. What would you think about talking with your doctor about the best way for us to have fun and stay safe?" Antiviral medications can be used to manage a herpes infection. When used properly, these medications reduce the risk of transmission.  Your doctor can prescribe antiviral pills. Some people take the medication every day, but if your partner's outbreaks are rare, their doctor may recommend your partner only take the medication during outbreaks.  Medication is not the proper course of treatment for everyone with herpes. Only a qualified medical doctor will be able to tell your partner if medication is the right choice for them. If your partner has genital herpes, the two of you need to have a discussion about your sex life. You need to establish sexual boundaries with your partner if they have herpes.  Stay calm during the conversation and try to keep things in perspective. Keep in mind that herpes comes with few health risks beyond irritation and many couples engage in sexual activity for years without spreading the virus.  Be transparent with your partner about your expectations. You may prefer to only have sex using condoms or to avoid sex during outbreaks. If you can foresee a long-term relationship with your partner, you may...

If you're worried that your current partner is cheating on you - especially if you've had this concern about every person you've dated - then, chances are, your worries are rooted in paranoia. Ask yourself if you have any concrete evidence that this may be happening or if all of your concerns are in your head.  Be open and talk to your partner about it. Tell him or her that you know your feelings are irrational and that you want help dealing with them. Don't accuse your partner of cheating or check in every two seconds when you're not together to make sure he or she is not cheating. This will only make your partner feel like there's a lack of trust in the relationship. Maintain your own identity. If you get too obsessed with the person you're dating or start depending on him or her too much, then you'll be even more likely to be paranoid because you'll feel completely dependent on that person's loyalty. Maintain other relationships outside of a romantic one. Ask yourself what you and your group of friends talk about when one of you isn't around - do you spend all of your time gossiping and talking about how much you hate that person? Unless you're in a really gossipy or mean group of friends, then most likely not. Ask yourself how likely it is that people talk about you the second you leave. Do your friends invite you to hang out? Send you text messages? Compliment you? Ask you for advice? If so, then why would you think that they completely hate you? A common paranoid worry that people tend to have at work is that they're always on the brink of being fired or that their boss hates him or her. If this is you, then ask yourself about what evidence you actually have that you're going to lose your job. Do you get to work on time? Put in your hours? Show improvement? If so, then why would you get fired? If you've had no warning signs and people around you aren't getting fired left and right, then it's very likely that your worries are all in your head.  Help yourself feel better by making a list of all the great...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you're writing a formal letter, put your name and address in the top right-hand corner of the page, followed by the name and address of the person to whom you're writing on the left-hand side of the page.  Most word-processing applications have a business-letter template that will automatically format your letter this way. If you plan to print your letter on letterhead, you don't need to include your name and address. When writing an email, you normally don't include the addresses at the top of the page. If you're sending a formal letter, it is customary to write the date the letter was written at the top. In Spanish letters, the date may be preceded by the city where you are located when you write the letter.  For example, you might write "Acapulco, 23 de diciembre de 2016." Spanish dates follow the convention of writing the day first, followed by the month, with the year last. If you're using just numbers, you would write the same date "23-12-16." For letters printed on letterhead, or more casual letters to friends or acquaintances, place the date in the top right-hand corner where you normally would put your name and address. Formal business letters typically have the date on the left-hand side of the paper below the names and addresses. How you greet the person to whom you're writing in Spanish depends on the person's relationship to you and how well you know them. Casual greetings that might be appropriate for a friend or acquaintance might be offensive to someone who is older than you, or who you don't know personally.  You can address your letter A quien corresponda: (or "to whom it may concern") if you don't know the name of the specific person who will read the letter. This greeting is appropriate for general business letters, such as when you're seeking more information about a product or service. If the person is older than you, or if you're writing them for the first time, use Estimada/o plus the person's surname. Address them as señor or señora where appropriate. For example, you might write...

TL;DR in Russian:

Правильно укажите адрес, по которому отправляете письмо. Укажите дату. Напишите приветствие. Представьтесь. Укажите причину, по которой вы пишете.


If you've accumulated a bunch of installed programs over the years of using Windows 7, they may be slowing you down by always running in the background. Getting rid of programs you no longer use is the first step towards optimizing your computer's speed. This will load a list of all the installed programs on your computer. The list may take a while to load if you have a lot of programs installed. Follow the prompts to remove the program. The uninstallation process may take a few minutes. If you aren't sure what a program is, perform a web search on it. Generally, you'll want to keep anything on the list that you use or that is published by Microsoft or any of your hardware manufacturers. Not all hard manufacturer software is necessary. For example, many HP computers come with a lot of HP software pre-installed which isn't necessary for your computer to run. Search each program listed online to determine if it is necessary to keep installed.

If you've done a multi-rename of LEFT and RIGHT image folders in preparation for doing a multi-conversion, be sure to look at how many files are in each folder. It's not uncommon to have made a mistake or to have an unequal number of files in them. Doing a multi-conversion in such circumstances will be a mess. If you have an unequal number, you may need to look through them to remove "stray" single images, and then run multi-rename again. In Multi-Conversion you tell the program which files you want it to work on, how you want them to be saved, and where to save them. For this tutorial we're assuming that you're starting with two independent images files. As you become more advanced in working with StereoPhoto Maker this may not be true, but for the purpose of this tutorial let's start there. You don't need to choose a file name or file type. When you choose this, just below it a box saying Right Image Folder appears. Click on Browse and choose the folder that contains your RIGHT image files. Leave the L Normal and R Normal boxes as they are. You'd use these if you needed to rotate the images or flip them.. For the sake of this tutorial, choose Color anaglyph . After you've run this conversion sequence you may want to do it again and choose Gray anaglyph , Side-by-Side , or Independent L/R, but for the moment choose Color anaglyph. There are lots of other options that you can explore later. This is where you tell the program where you want the new files you're creating to go. Remember at the beginning of this tutorial we suggested that you create folders called "anaglyph". Even if you didn't create those folders before, it's not too late. Go to Windows Explorer and create that folder, and browse to it. If it asks you whether you want to use the "previous report files", click on No. Now just walk away or watch if you must. You'll see no dramatic graphics, just the computer running madly through its paces, trying to make sense of your stereo pairs. Depending on the speed and configuration of your PC it can take...

If you've just been approached by a friend for a date, the best thing you can do to start is to give your answer right off the bat. Don't beat around the bush or avoid giving a real response. Something short and straightforward is best. Although something as simple as "I'm just not into you that way" sounds cold, it's important to lay down the groundwork first. Once that's out of the way, you can offer consolation as a friend.  Say something like "Sorry, I think you're great but I just don't see you that way." rejecting someone like this offers a compliment, but still makes the rejection firm and straightforward. Don't be worried about being blunt. Being blunt will save the other person pain in the long run. Even if you don't take the other person seriously as a dating prospect, his feelings still matter. Trying to sugarcoat the situation to protect his feelings is a common mistake people make, but you should try to be as honest and forthcoming about your rejection as you can. After all, he went out of his way to ask you out. The least he should get in return is some sincerity on your part.  Don't confuse honesty with being cold. There are always ways you can word something to sound less harsh. For instance, instead of saying "I think you're ugly," you can soften it by reminding him it's all about personal taste: "I'm not personally attracted to you, but I could see why other girls might be." Avoiding the touchier parts of your rejection may seem like a good idea at first, but runs the risk of being misinterpreted. Your best bet is to give as many reasons as needed to make him understand the rejection. If you've ever asked someone out before, you should be able to empathize with the sort of courage it can take to make yourself vulnerable to someone. If he's already a friend of yours, he probably sees you as more than just a dating prospect. Taking the moment to see things from the other person's point of view can make it a lot easier to talk things out together.  Even if you feel for the other person, don't...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you've lost an Android phone there are two ways to track it down. If the phone is still turned on and in range of a wireless signal, you can track it from a computer using Device Manager. If the phone is turned off or is out of service range, you can check your phone's last reported location from a computer.  To use Device Manager, sign into your Google account from a computer or another device. Google's Device Manager should instantly show you your phone's location on a Google Maps screen. Device Manager has additional options to lock your phone, make the phone ring, or remotely wipe its contents and data clear. Check your phone's last recorded location by going to google.com/settings/accounthistory. Then click on "Places You Go," and "Manage History." However, this option relies on wi-fi and mobile signals instead of GPS, so it will not be as accurate at locating your phone as the Device Manager. BlackBerry devices do not typically include their own tracking apps or services. However, you can sign up for a third-party service like Berry Locator. This service costs $6.95 and will send a message to your lost device, as well as show you on a map where your device is located. The primary way to locate a lost iPhone is by using the Find My iPhone app. If your phone does not have the app downloaded, you'll need to download it through the App Store. The Find My iPhone app is fairly accurate, but it requires the phone to be turned on and connected to the internet in order to work.  Using a computer or another mobile device, log into your iCloud and open Find My iPhone. Your phone's location should appear on a map, which you can use to track your phone's movement. Find My iPhone gives you the option of remotely making your iPhone make sounds (to alert you or others nearby of your phone's location and its status as being lost/stolen), send a message with contact information to your iPhone, or wipe the contents and data clear off your device. Windows Phone users can use the built-in lost phone feature that comes on...

If you've moved your Stargazer lily indoors to protect it over the winter months, you should think about replanting it outside once the frosts and heavy rainfall are over. This is likely to be in mid-spring.  Try to prepare the ground well ahead of time by applying plenty of organic matter (such as manure) to the soil in order to improve drainage. You should start doing this over the winter, well before you replant your Stargazer lilies in the spring. If you apply fresh manure too close to planting there’s always a risk of ‘scorching’ the plant tissue, so avoid this if possible. Check your overwintered bulbs carefully for any signs of rot or damage. Plant them in a hole around 5 inches (12.7 cm) deep and at least twice the width of your bulb.  Cover the bulbs with soil, water well and apply a layer of mulch to a depth of about 2 inches (5.1 cm). Stargazer lilies should be spaced about 10 inches (25.4 cm) apart. As your plant flowers in the growing season, pinch away the dead flower heads to prevent seed production.  This helps the plant to store energy that will keep it alive over the winter and allow it to be successfully replanted the following year. Be sure to let the foliage and flower stems die back naturally without cutting them, as this also helps the plant to preserve energy. In late fall you can cut back the brown foliage and stem to about 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the bulb. Lift the bulbs without damaging them and try to keep as much of the root intact as possible. Wash the bulb off under lukewarm water. It’s also a good idea to apply a fungicidal powder (available at any garden supply store). Apply the fungicidal powder according the the instructions on the packaging. Place the roots in a paper bag with some light, soil-less potting mix, ideally one with lots of perilite, as this helps the air circulate. Overwinter the bags in a cool dry place such as a shed or cellar. This method of overwintering should give your plants the best chance of getting re-established the following year.

TL;DR in Russian:

Высаживайте лилию после того, как минуют сильные зимние морозы и закончатся ливни. Перед посадкой проверьте, нет ли повреждений на луковицах. Когда в течение вегетационного сезона посаженные весной лилии зацветут, отщипывайте или срезайте увядшие цветочные головки, чтобы не допустить образования семян. Выкопайте луковицу поздней осенью, чтобы сохранить ее зимой. Зимой храните луковицы в пакете из плотной коричневой бумаги, весной повторите процесс посадки.


If you've never written a statistical report before, you might benefit from looking at other statistical reports that you can use as a guide to format your own. You also get a good idea of how your finished report should look.  If you're completing your report for a class, your instructor or professor may be willing to show you some reports submitted by previous students if you ask. University libraries also have copies of statistical reports created by students and faculty researchers on file. Ask the research librarian to help you locate one in your field of study. You also may be able to find statistical reports online that were created for business or marketing research, as well as those filed for government agencies. Be careful following samples exactly, particularly if they were completed for research in another field. Different fields of study have their own conventions regarding how a statistical report should look and what it should contain. For example, a statistical report by a mathematician may look incredibly different than one created by a market researcher for a retail business. Statistical reports typically are typed single-spaced, using a font such as Arial or Times New Roman in 12-point size. If you have an assignment sheet that describes the formatting requirements, follow those exactly.  You typically want to have 1-inch margins around all sides of your report. Be careful when adding visual elements such as charts and graphs to your report, and make sure they don't bleed over the margins or your report may not print properly and will look sloppy. You may want to have a 1.5-inch margin on the left-hand side of the page if you anticipate putting your study into a folder or binder, so all the words can be read comfortably when the pages are turned. Don't double-space your report unless you're writing it for a class assignment and the instructor or professor specifically tells you to do so. Use headers to add the page number to every page. You may also want to add your last name or the title...

TL;DR in Russian:

Просмотрите другие статистические отчеты. Набирайте свой отчет удобным для чтения шрифтом. Используйте подходящий формат цитирования. Сделайте титульный лист. Сделайте заголовки разделов. Используйте опцию "предварительный просмотр", чтобы проверить окончательную разметку.


If you've recently washed your hair, there's no need to wash it again. You can wet it by spritzing it with some fresh water. This look will give you a straight hairstyle that may appear to be slightly rounded from the back. Part your hair in the middle back to the top of your crown. Behind this point, comb back your hair straight. Be as exact as possible as you part your hair. Use a fine-toothed comb to comb your hair on either side of the part. Using the fine-toothed comb, ensure that your hair is smooth and firm against your head as you pull it back into a tight ponytail.  Comb your hair all over to ensure that there are no bumps before you pull it into the ponytail. Ensure that the ponytail is directly in the middle of the back of your head, and that it sits very low at the nape of your neck. This ponytail should be just above where you want to cut your hair. It may be a few inches below the other one. Do this without loosening it from the nape of your neck. Do this in small, incremental snips. Don't try to cut the entire chunk of hair in one go. Make sure that the end of the ponytail is as even as possible.  Comb sections straight up or forward to check for evenness. Adjust the cut as you would like. If the cut is not as even as you'd like it to be, you can try putting it in a ponytail and trimming it again. Do not cut it any shorter; just put it back in the ponytail, hold it firmly in one hand, and clip any stray hairs that aren't even with the others.

TL;DR in Russian:

If your Android's default SMS app keeps notifying you of "new" message you don't actually have, you can usually fix the issue by temporarily switching your default SMS app to something else. Android Messages is just one of many options, but it's a solid choice (even if you don't wind up keeping it).  The Play Store is located in your Android's app drawer. To download Android Messages, type messages into the Play Store's search bar, tap the search button, and then tap INSTALL next to the Messages app by Google. It's the blue icon with a white chat bubble in your app drawer. You'll be prompted to do this soon after launching the app for the first time. Once Messages becomes your default app, your existing SMS messages will appear in the app. You may have to give the app permission to access your messages before they appear. It may appear with a red exclamation point or some other indication that there's something wrong with it. The message may just also appear highlighted since it's unread. After a moment, you'll see some different icons appear at the top of the screen. It's the trash can icon at the top of the screen. This deletes the message from your phone, and you should no longer see notifications for it. Repeat this for any other message for which you're continuously receiving notifications. If you want to continue using Android Messages (it's pretty solid!), you can skip this step. If not, here's how to get back to your prior app:  Samsung Galaxy:  Open your Android's Settings app. It's the gear icon in your app drawer. Tap Apps. Tap the three-dot menu at the top-right corner. Tap Default apps. Tap Messaging Apps. Select your regular messaging app and tap OK.   Other models:  Open your Android's Settings app. It's the gear icon in your app drawer. Tap Apps & Notifications. Scroll down and tap Advanced. Tap Default apps. Tap SMS app. Select your regular messaging app.

If your allergy is severe, ask the people in advance if they own cats. If you find they do, let them know that you won't be able to come because you are allergic. To still spend time with these friends, ask to meet them at a different place or invite them over instead. If they are really good friends or you can’t avoid going to visit, ask if they have a cat-free zone. If not, see if they can create one for you by keeping the cat in another room, vacuuming, and changing linens to reduce the cat dander. Once you visit a place that has a cat, the cat dander left on your clothing can cause a continued allergic reaction. When you return home, wash your clothes on in hot water in order to remove the dander from your clothes.  This is true of people who own cats. Their clothes likely have dander on then, especially if you can see visible cat hair. Without making a big deal out of it, simply let such people know that you have a bad allergy to cats and that you will have to keep your distance. In the workplace, this may mean sitting away from cat owners. However, don't be rude about it. You may have an allergy but the cat owner also has feelings. Explain things kindly, in the spirit of compromise. This may seem like common sense, but even if you love cats, avoid direct contact with any cat. This will minimize the chances of setting off your allergy because your allergies can be triggered by the allergens left on your hands. There is a protein in the saliva of cats (Fel D1) that seems to trigger allergic reactions.  By not stroking the cat, you avoid picking up this allergen. If you must pet the cat, wash your hands immediately with soap and warm water.  You should also avoid bringing a cat close to your face or kissing a cat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не ходите в дома, где есть кошки. Будьте осторожны во время контактов с людьми, у которых есть кошки. Не прикасайтесь к кошкам.


If your baby doesn’t like the taste of pure chicken puree, using a different liquid can help disguise or enhance the flavor. Try using a little apple or white grape juice instead of broth or water, or mix the juice and broth together. To avoid giving your baby too much sugar, use 100% unsweetened juice. Although you may be hesitant to feed your baby anything with spices in it, experimenting with a variety of flavors and textures will help them develop a more adventurous palate. Add a pinch of a mild seasoning, such as black pepper, garlic powder, basil, or rosemary to enhance the taste of your puree.  Use a small amount of any seasoning at first so that your baby can get used to the new flavor. Wait to try this until your baby has already tried pure chicken puree, and only experiment with 1 seasoning at a time. If your baby is allergic to a food or seasoning, this will make it easier to tell which ingredients to avoid in the future. You can make your puree even more tasty and nutritious by combining the chicken with a variety of fruits and veggies. Before pureeing fruits or vegetables, dice them into small cubes and cook them until they are tender.   Steaming your fruits or vegetables rather than boiling them will help them taste better and retain more of their nutrients. Add about 1/4 cup (approx. 45 g) of the cooked fruits vegetables to the blender or food processor along with the chicken. Try combining chicken with apples, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, or spinach. Only experiment with 1 new ingredient at a time so that you can easily identify any foods your baby is allergic to.

TL;DR in Russian:

If your ball is curving during flight from left to right (for a right-handed golfer), try to keep your knees bent and flexed during the backswing. It's natural to want to straighten out your back knee during the backswing but try to avoid the impulse. Don't let your knee travel backward either; keep it flexed in position and underneath the hip. A hook is a ball that travels slightly to the right (for a right-handed golfer) and then dramatically to the left. This happens when the ball has a counterclockwise spin, meaning that it's being hit from right to left instead of from back to front.  Try looking at your grip. If you're a right-handed golfer and more than two knuckles on your left hand are visible when you hold the club, turn to a "weaker" grip and make sure only two knuckles are visible. Make sure your stance isn't aiming too far to the left. You can try to overcompensate a little to the right, but this can also make the hooking motion worse if you overcompensate too much. Place a golf club down on the ground to make sure you're aiming straight at your target. " Sometimes your swing is "fat," others it's "thin," and your drive doesn't get as much distance as you'd like. The most common remedy for this problem is keeping your head down and your eye on the ball throughout the backswing. When you move your head back in the backswing, you're actually increasing the distance between the base of the neck and the bottom of the ball. This makes it much tougher to hit the ball right in your wheelhouse. Keep your eye on the ball and you should be driving longer and more consistently.

If your blister came in response to a new type of shoe, or a very uncomfortable shoe, stop wearing the shoes that caused it. Purchase shoes that leave your feet with some wiggle room and fit comfortably. Wearing the right shoes can prevent a future blister. Also make sure that you wear the right type of shoes for the activity you're engaging in. For example, you can help prevent foot blisters when running by wearing running shoes. Attach a small bit of moleskin or padding to the inside of your shoes, particularly the sole, or the areas where your shoes rub against your feet. Moleskin can provide some padding and cut back on friction and irritation that causes blisters. Moisture can cause blisters or make existing blisters worse. Invest in a pair of moisture-wicking socks. These will absorb sweat from your feet and cut back on blisters and other injuries.

TL;DR in Russian:

If your camera displays a message that says "Card Error", "Read Error", or something similar, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Continuing to try to use the card after this point will reduce the likelihood of you recovering all of the data on the card. While your card might be done for, there's still a possibility that your data is recoverable. Some of the most popular free data recovery programs include the following:   Recuva - After you select your hard drive location (in this case, your SD card) and check the "Photos" option, Recuva does all the hard work in the background. Recommended for most users.  CardRecovery - After a brief setup, CardRecovery scans any attached SD cards. Once your evaluation period with CardRecovery is up, you'll need to pay to continue using its services.  Photo Rec - This program has a minimal interface and requires basic knowledge of how to navigate the Command Prompt program, so it isn't recommended for beginners. Typically, this process will entail opening your recovery program's page, clicking the Download button, and double-clicking the downloaded setup file. The location of the download button will vary from site to site. If you can't find it, try looking for it on the top or the side of the site's page. Most PCs have a thin, rectangular memory card slot with the word "SD" next to it. This will most likely be on the side of the computer's casing if it is a laptop, or somewhere on the CPU box if it is a desktop.  If your PC or Mac doesn't have an SD card slot, you can buy an SD card reader that plugs into your computer's USB port for less than $10.  You may have to allow your computer permission to use your SD card before you can access it. It should be installed in whichever location you chose earlier. You'll usually need to select the memory card as the location to scan and select the "Photos" option in your data recovery program's scan criteria before you can successfully scan your attached SD card. After the scan completes, most programs will give you the...

If your cat eats too fast and vomits up her food or starts to show signs of digestive issues like bloating, you may want to adjust her feeding schedule. Instead of three big meals a day, try feeding your cat smaller portions five to six times a day for one to two weeks.  After one to two weeks, check to see if the new feeding schedule forces her to slow down when she eats. Smaller portions throughout the day will also help her digest her food properly and maintain an appetite for her next meal. You can also put food in smaller dishes throughout your home so your cat has to move around to eat more food. This will make her treat feeding time more like a “hunt”, where she is mentally and physically stimulated, and force her to pace herself as she eats. If you have more than one cat at home, you may have an issue where one cat bullies another cat and eats the other cat’s food, or one cat hogs all the food when it comes time to eat. Avoid these issues by setting up more than one feeding station in your home, ideally in separate rooms or different areas of your home. This will force your cats to spread out when they eat and provide enough space for each cat to get enough food. Using multiple feeding stations along with smaller portions throughout the day for all the cats can help your cats slow down when they eat. If you try several of these steps and your cat still eats too fast but does not appear to be putting on any weight or cannot satisfy her appetite, your cat may have a medical issue that needs to be addressed. Take your cat to your vet for a checkup to ensure her overeating or fast eating are not a sign of a medical issue.

TL;DR in Russian:

Давайте кошке корм чаще, но меньшими порциями. Если у вас много кошек, у них должны быть разные места для кормления. Если после всех усилий кошка продолжает быстро заглатывать пищу, но при этом выглядит истощенной, покажите ее ветеринару.


If your cat is eliminating outside the box, he may not like something about his litter box situation. Whether it's the wrong kind of litter, the wrong depth of litter, an unclean litter box, or even a poorly placed litter box, your cat may be trying to send you a message.  If your cat doesn't like traditional clay litter, try a clumping litter. If he doesn't like scented litter, try unscented litter. With a little trial and error, you'll be able to figure out your cat's preferences.  Be sure your cat's litter box is in a quiet, low-traffic area. If there's a lot of noise, like in a laundry room, or a lot of traffic coming through, like your home's living room, your cat may become reluctant to use the litter box. Choose a place that's quiet and relatively undisturbed, but not so undisturbed that your cat has to make a long journey through the house to get there. Use an enzyme-based cleaning product to treat any household furniture or carpeting that your cat has eliminated on. This will break down any residual odor on the furniture, ensuring that your cat won't come to see it as an acceptable place to relieve himself. If your cat leaves solid waste on the floor or on any furniture, use a paper towel to move the feces to his litter box, rather than throwing it in the trash. This will help remind him to use the litter box next time. If your cat isn't using the litter box, it's important to check around the house to look for out-of-box elimination. If he isn't urinating anywhere, it's a sign that he may have a urinary tract infection, bladder/kidney stones, or a partially- or fully-blocked urethra. If you believe your cat is not eliminating, or if he is eliminating with blood in his urine or stool, take him to a veterinary emergency clinic immediately. This is another reason why it's a good idea to scoop the box on a daily basis. Scooping your cat's waste allows you to monitor his health, as you'll see signs of digestive or urinary problems right away and be able to act fast.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте предпочтения вашей кошки. Тщательно уберите место, где кошка справила нужду. Следите за привычками кошки.


If your cat is normally playful, active, and generally friendly, reclusiveness could be a sign that your cat is sick. If it starts hanging out under your bed, couch, table, or any other out of reach, unusual place, this could be a sign. Cats are instinctively cautious creatures, even if they might be playfully curious on any given day. If your cat is sick, it will want to reduce his or her vulnerability by hiding from you. If your cat is accustomed to eating at a specific time or normally eats a certain amount of food each day, it may alter this behavior if it’s sick. Check your cat’s food bowl throughout the day to see if it has eaten anything. If this is the case, try tempting your cat with slight more “exciting” food options. Even consider bringing their food bowl to them. If they are hiding because they don’t feel well, they might not be confident enough to venture out to their normal feeding place. If you place the bowl in their safe zone, they might be more inclined to eat. Many cat illnesses — ranging from colds to more serious diseases or conditions — produce fevers, but may also cause other symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. Check your cat’s litter box area. In some cases, your cat may attempt to bury this. If you have an outdoor cat, try to follow it. Check its resting areas for disturbed dirt if it normally buries its business. This is a tough symptom to identify because cats are notoriously lazy creatures. If your cat refuses to get up when you shake a treat bag, it might be lethargic. If your cat normally likes to follow you from room to room, but remains content sleeping all day in a room away from you, it might be lethargic. If you think your cat shows signs of sluggish behavior, be sure to tell your veterinarian.

TL;DR in Russian:

Присмотритесь к изменениям в поведении. Проследите за аппетитом кошки. Проверьте, не страдает ли животное рвотой или диареей. Приглядитесь к животному, не проявляет ли оно признаки чрезмерной апатии и вялости.


If your child begins careening from happiness to anger to depression to irritability, this may be a cause for concern. Keep in mind that many perfectly normal teenagers have mood swings. Don't jump to conclusions, but do pay attention and look for other symptoms. If your child seems much less interested in or enthusiastic about his or her studies, hobbies, and extra-curricular activities, this may also be a warning sign. You may notice that your child still does these things, but with less focus and dedication, or you may realize that your child is not doing these things at all anymore. Most of our memory formation happens during our sleep, but alcohol disrupts sleep and, as a result, causes problems with memory retention. Watch your child's sleep patterns, and note any difficulty with memory. When someone is under the influence of alcohol, the brain's ability to send warning signs is inhibited, and the person will not modify his or her behavior (as would be the case if the person were sober). If your child is consuming and abusing alcohol, you will likely see signs of diminished rational thinking and impaired judgment. Note that alcoholics often fail to step back and make amends for mistakes they commit under the influence. They may not seem to care. This is why alcohol consumption becomes responsible for so many accidents, homicides, suicides, and acts of sexual violence – alcohol is that potent. Alcohol is a depressant. It may reduce tension and anxiety temporarily, but it also works as a “downer” on the nervous system. If your child is abusing alcohol, he or she may appear very depressed – tired, sad, and withdrawn.

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте, что переменчивые настроения могут быть признаком алкоголизма. Следите за уменьшением мотивации. Обратите внимание на проблемы с памятью. Ищите нарушения мышления и суждения. Будьте бдительны в отношении признаков депрессии.


If your child is feeling sad, try playing with him. It will remind him that you love and care about him, and it might help take his mind off his problems.  If your child still plays with toys, then join him in playing with his favorites. If he's moved on to video games, try joining him for a few levels. Make sure your child has access to toys/activities that engage the senses. Some experts have found that playing with tactile materials, like clay, play dough, sand, rice, and even water can help sad children work through their emotions. Depending on your child's age, gender, and personality, he or she may be interested in a number of things. No matter what your child is interested in, try engaging with him in that interest. It will help him connect with you, and it might open the door to deeper, more meaningful conversations about other aspects of his life.  If your kid likes comics, ask him about his favorites, or ask if you can borrow one of the comics he likes the most. If your child is interested in cartoons or TV shows, ask if you can watch with him. This can give you a better idea of his sense of humor at his current age, which might make it easier to cheer him up when he's sad. If your child is into sports, watch a game with him, or buy tickets to catch a game in your hometown. No matter what your child is interested in, you should develop some degree of interest in those things too. It will help you bond, and you'll know how to engage with him the next time he's feeling down. This may not interest all children, but many kids want to act out or play pretend with issues they're interested in. This might be a current family issue, like a recent death, or it might be something your child is exposed to but doesn't fully understand, like church services or job responsibilities.  Playing pretend is a great way for children to explore a concept in a safe, inquisitive environment. Make sure you're supportive of your child's choice to act out what's going on. You may feel a little upset if your child is playing...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поиграйте. Интересуйтесь тем, что нравится ребенку. Позвольте ребенку выразить проблемы игрой. Отправляйтесь на прогулку или катайтесь вместе на велосипедах. Позвольте ребенку побыть наедине с собой. Обнимите ребенка. Удивите ребенка чем-то интересным. Помогите ребенку подготовиться ко сну.


If your child is on fire, cover him with a blanket or jacket, and help him roll on the ground to extinguish the flame. Remove any smoldering clothing. Stay calm; panic can be contagious.  If you are dealing with an electric burn, establish that your child is not in contact with the electric source when you touch him. In cases of chemical burns, run water over the burn for at least five minutes. If the burns are large, try soaking in a tub, or shower. Do not remove clothes until after the area has been cleaned.   If clothes are stuck to burn site, do not try to peel them away; this might cause additional damage. Cut the cloth to remove the article of clothing, leaving the piece that is stuck to the wound. You should call emergency services if the burn is larger than three inches (77 mm) or if it is charred and white. You should also call a doctor, 911, or go to the nearest emergency room if the burn is from a fire, electrical source, or chemicals. If the burn shows signs of infection, including swelling, pus, or increasing redness, you should call a doctor. Finally, call a doctor if the burn is in a sensitive location, like the face, scalp, hands, joints, or genitals.  Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if your child has any trouble breathing or is very lethargic after suffering a burn. Once you have contacted emergency services, you can begin treatment while you wait for medical professionals to arrive. Use cool but not cold water. Run it over the burn for approximately 15 minutes to cool it down. Do not use ice or apply any gels except for aloe gel. Do not burst blisters.    For large burns, lay the child flat and raise the burned areas above the chest. Rub a cool washcloth over the area for 10 to 20 minutes. Do not put large parts of his body under cold water because it could cause shock.  Ice will damage the skin. There are also a number of home remedies that are thought to be effective but will actually make the wound worse. These include butter, grease, and powder. Refrain from using...

TL;DR in Russian:

Унесите ребенка из опасного места. Вызовите скорую помощь, если нужно. Подставьте место ожога под прохладную воду. Нанесите гель алоэ вера на место ожога. Закройте место ожога. Дайте ребенку обезболивающее средство.


If your child’s allergy symptoms are mild, you can probably control them with over-the-counter medication and proper sanitation around your house. If the symptoms are severe, such as breaking out in body-wide hives, or swelling of the throat or other airways, you will need to ensure your child is no longer exposed to cats. If you already have a cat and find out that your child is severely allergic, you will likely need to rehouse your cat. Antihistamines are designed to reduce the production of an immune system chemical that is responsible for causing the symptoms associated with allergies. They also help relieve itching, sneezing and runny nose. You can purchase these medications over-the-counter or acquire them with a prescription.   Antihistamines come in pill form, as nasal sprays or in syrups, which are specifically designed for children.  Never give over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications to children two years of age or younger unless directed by a doctor or medical professional. Decongestants work by shrinking swollen tissues in your nasal passages, making it easier to breathe through your nose.  Some over-the-counter allergy tablets combine an antihistamine with a decongestant. Never give over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications to children two years of age or younger unless directed by a doctor or medical professional. These shots, usually administered once or twice a week by an allergist, can help a child overcome the symptoms of allergies that can’t be controlled with either antihistamines or decongestants. Allergy shots "train" your immune system by desensitizing it to specific allergens. This is typically called immunotherapy. The initial shots expose you to very small doses of the allergen, in this case, the cat protein that causes an allergic reaction. The dose is, “gradually increased, usually during a three- to six-month period. Maintenance shots are needed every four weeks for three to five years.”  Also, be sure to ask your doctor or allergist about age and dosage...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, проявляется ли аллергия в мягкой или острой форме. Используйте антигистаминные средства. Используйте противоотечные средства. Давайте ребенку уколы от аллергии. Сочетайте медикаменты с другими профилактическими мерами. Следите за эффективностью медикаментов.


If your circuit is powered by a battery, unplug the negative lead that's running from that battery. If you have to turn off the power at a breaker, turn off the switch, then disconnect the negative lead. Do not attach the meter with the power turned on to the circuit. In order to test the amount of current flowing through a circuit, you have to attach the multimeter so it completes that circuit. To do this, start by shutting off the power to the circuit, then detach the positive wire, which is almost always red, from the power source.  This process is called “breaking the circuit.” You may have to cut the wire with wire clippers to break the circuit. However, if you see a cap where the wire from the power source meets the wire going to the device you're testing, you can simply unscrew the cap and unwind the wires from around each other. The wires may also be connected by clips you can disconnect. There's no need to unplug the black wire. In a direct current circuit, the black is negative, while in an alternating current circuit, it’s the “hot” wire. , if necessary. You'll need to wrap a small piece of wire around the multimeter prongs, or have enough wire exposed that the alligator prongs will clamp on securely. If the wire is insulated all the way to the end, clamp your wire clippers about 1 in (2.5 cm) from the end of the wire and squeeze just enough to cut into the rubber insulation. Then, pull the clippers sharply away from you to remove the insulation.  If you accidentally cut into the wire, snip that portion off of the end and try again. You'll need to strip the end of the wire that's coming away from the power source and the wire coming from the device you're testing. Take the exposed end of the red wire that's coming away from the power source and either wrap it around the prong on the multimeter probe or clamp the alligator clips to the wire, depending on the type of probe you're using. Either way, make sure you attach the wire securely to ensure you get an accurate reading.  Technically, it doesn't...

If your computer slowed down noticeably within the last week or so, chances are that an update, a program, or a changed setting is what slowed down your computer. If your computer's been steadily slowing down over a period of time, it's likely that the problem is either due to lack of proper computer care (e.g., regularly shutting down) or age. If your computer is more than a few years old, it will most likely begin to slow down regardless of how well you've cared for it. This doesn't mean that something else isn't slowing down your computer as well—just know that old computers will eventually lose some of their speed. When using computers that are several years old, updating to new versions of operating systems (e.g., from Windows 7 to Windows 10) may negatively impact the computer's performance. All computers have intake and output vents; if you look at these vents and notice dust or other buildup, it could be a contributing factor.  You can remove dust from a vent by using compressed air, or by wiping down the vents with a moist paper towel. If there's a large amount of dust clustered around a vent, your computer probably has dust inside of it as well. You should take your computer into a professional tech department to have it cleaned if this is the case. Computer fans will often speed up when a hefty process (e.g., video processing) is occurring, or when your computer is updating. However, if your computer's fans are constantly running at high speeds and the computer's housing is warming up to an uncomfortable level, the computer's circulation system is probably in need of repair. As with internal dust and grit, having your computer's circulation system replaced is a job for professionals. Close each of your computer's currently open programs in succession, making a note of any performance changes along the way. If your computer's performance improves drastically after closing a certain program, that program is to blame for some of your computer's performance issues. It's also good to close programs that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Вспомните, когда компьютер стал работать медленнее. Учитывайте возраст компьютера. Почистите компьютер. Обратите внимание на слишком громкий шум от вентиляторов или на горячий корпус.

If your connection with your father is damaged from the past, you may not be sure if connection is something you really want. Ask yourself: how did my father's actions impact my life? Allow yourself to see both the good and the negative effect he's had upon your life.  Allowing yourself to acknowledge that past actions were not okay is part of the process of forgiveness. Deciding to connect doesn't mean excusing your dad's past behavior. But if you've decided to try to connect, you'll need to find a way to be willing to forgive him for things that hurt you in the past. Picking up the phone may be scary, but it's necessary. If you really are serious about connecting with your dad, you'll have to let him know. Say something very simple to break the ice. A simple explanation is the best. For example, "Hi Dad. It's Paul. I was thinking about you and would like to get together sometime. Look forward to hearing back from you."  If you don't hear back within the week, try again. If the phone is too difficult, send him an email. Include your contact information on everything you send, so that he'll be able to respond. Rather than criticize your dad for what he's done to hurt you, stick to your experiences. For example, instead of saying "You always came home drunk," say what you felt: "I grew up feeling confused about what to expect."  By using "I" statements, you're avoiding arguing. Your dad can't argue with how you felt. You're including his behavior in order to share more about your own feelings. For instance, "I used to feel embarrassed to bring my friends over to play," sticks to your own experience, while, "You never had a job and were always hanging around harassing me," might make him defensive. If your father did things or made choices that hurt you as a child, you might wonder why he did these things. Perhaps you've made up reasons to explain his actions, but you might be unaware of his real motives. Maybe there were circumstances that you didn't know about as a child that he can share with you now. ...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите свои мотивы. Свяжитесь с отцом. Используйте утверждения от первого лица. Подумайте о том, чтобы спросить отца о его выборе. Не вините его за прошлое. Перестаньте принимать его действия на личный счет. Осознайте, что никто не идеален. Примите решение простить.


If your current photo shows you flashing your best smile into the camera, delete it immediately; studies show that, though guys are most attracted to photos of smiling girls, girls are the least attracted to photos of smiling men. Instead, they prefer photos of guys who either look proud or downcast. Studies also show that the left side of the face tends to be considered the most attractive. Take a new photo of yourself looking off and to the right with either a brooding, downward-glancing, Edward-Cullen-ey look or a cocky, up-ward looking, Jacob-Black-ey look—and watch the “likes” and “favorites” pour in. If your photo comes off as mopey or attention-seeking, you will be laughed at. Take many photos if necessary and choose one where you still look natural and yourself. Have a girl friend take the pictures, if you can. She'll know what girls like to see, and may be able to get the right shot. Send the message that you are at ease in any situation, even if you secretly want to run screaming. It's called confidence.  If you approach girls like a desperate beggar who is terrified of rejection, they will know it instinctively, and will proceed to prove you right. Don't act like you’re too cool to care. Just be enthusiastic and calm, and if something goes wrong, laugh it off and move forward without a scratch. Flirting takes practice, confidence, and the ability to forget about your own nervousness; after all, how can you pick up on anyone else’s cues if you are too busy wiping the sweat off your palms or staring at your own feet? Prepare yourself by reading How to Flirt. To step up your game, learn the following:  How to Have a Great Conversation How to Have a Witty Conversation How to Read Body Language  How to Touch a Girl—excellent if you’re desperate for ways to break the touch barrier

If your date is continuously talking about topics you aren’t interested in or that bore you, try changing the subject. Make a general comment about the topic your date is talking about or making a joke, and then introduce a new topic.  Say something like, “Wow, that’s neat that you’re so passionate about cats! One of my big passions is soccer. I play every weekend, and I always have a huge party to watch the World Cup. Have you ever played soccer?” Make a joke like, “Oh Mr. Accountant, don’t bore me with financials! I want to hear about what you do for fun!” Curfews don’t have to be just for high school. Even as an adult, you can claim you have to be home by a certain time because you have a busy day the next day or you need to get home to your pet. Claiming a curfew will relieve you from the possibility of the date lasting too long. You can tell your date about your curfew early in the night and then if it starts going bad, remind your date you have to get home. However, if the date is going really well, you can also say you’re willing to stay out late tonight because you’re having such a great time. It’s a good idea to have a friend call you during a date so you can use it as an excuse to leave. Make plans to have a friend call you 30 or 40 minutes after the date begins and make sure your phone’s ringer is turned on so you hear the call. If the date’s going bad, answer the call and say something like,“Oh no! I’ll be right there!” and then hang up. Be prepared to tell your date why you have to leave, and politely excuse yourself from the date.  Tell you date that you forgot to pick up your friend’s child from school. Let your date know that your dog got out and you have to go pick him up from a neighbor. A fake sickness is a good reason to have to leave a date. Excuse yourself to the bathroom and spend about 10 minutes in there. Wipe your face and hairline with a wet paper towel and come out holding your stomach. Inform your date that you aren’t feeling well and that you’re going to go home.  You can leave...

TL;DR in Russian:

If your employer requires a drug test, it is likely that you will be providing a urine sample. In rarer cases, an employer may also require a blood, saliva, or hair test. A urine test may be done privately (in a bathroom stall at a laboratory) or it might be observed by a laboratory employee. False positive drug tests are very rare in licensed, reputable laboratories. However, certain prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal remedies can be mistaken for drugs of abuse in drug tests. For example, some decongestants might lead to a positive drug test for amphetamines. In order to ensure that your drug test does not provide a false positive, make a thorough list of all your medications and provide the list to your employer, along with any supporting documentation required. Urine tests can detect a variety of substances in your system. The particular drugs tested for are depend on a variety of factors: your personal or legal history, the requirements of your job, legal guidelines, or the occurrence of workplace accidents might all affect the specific drugs your employer chooses to test for. However, the most commonly administered drug test is the 5-panel urine test. Most 5-panel tests detect the following drugs:  Marijuana Cocaine Opiates Phencyclidine (PCP) Amphetamines While the 5-panel test is the most common, some employers or legal personnel might choose to add other drugs to their screening. They might add testing for any or all of the following substances:  Alcohol MDMA (ecstasy) Barbiturates Propoxyphene Benzodiazepines A urine test does not test your sobriety at the exact moment at which you provided the sample. Instead, it tests your past use of drugs over the past few days or even weeks. Habitual drug users often have higher concentrations of the drug in their systems than occasional drug users. For this reason, habitual drug users may test positively for drugs even after being sober for several days or weeks. Other factors might affect the concentration of drugs in your system,...
