Increasingly, research reveals that sitting for long periods of time in an office setting comes with severe health concerns, including back and shoulder strain, as well as increased risk of heart disease. For this reason, active sitting methods are more popular than ever, and might be a good option for you.  Active sitting devices include things like standing desks, treadmill desks, kneeling chairs, and other ergonomic alternatives that force your body to hold itself upright, rather than providing it a resting place. Passive sitting chairs, even ergonomic ones, can have a tendency to force your spine into uncomfortable upright positions. Adjust the keyboard height so that your shoulders are relaxed, your elbows are in a slightly open position, just out from your body, and your wrists and hands are straight.  Use the keyboard tray mechanism, or keyboard feet, to adjust the tilt so that the keyboard is comfortable. If you sit in a forward or upright position, try tilting your keyboard away from you, but if you are slightly reclined, then a slight forward tilt will help  to maintain a straight wrist position. Ergonomic keyboards are bent in the middle, to allow a more natural wrist alignment, letting your type with your thumbs pointing toward the ceiling, rather than lining your palms up with the floor. Consider investing in one if you struggle with wrist pain. Ideally, you want your neck in a neutral, relaxed position, so you don't have to crane around to see what you're working on. Center the monitor directly in front of you, above your keyboard.  Position the top of the monitor approximately 2-3” below your seated eye level. If you wear bifocals, lower the monitor to a comfortable reading level. An ergonomic mouse allows your wrist to remain parallel to your body, it's natural resting state, rather than parallel with the floor, which can lead to carpal tunnel over many repetitions. The trackpad on most laptops and the traditional mouse do the same thing traditional keyboards do: force your wrists into an...

Individual cognitive therapy has been shown to help people change maladaptive behaviors and beliefs. While CBT appears to have little direct impact on the symptoms of schizophrenia, it helps many patients stick to their treatment program, and has a positive impact on their overall quality of life. Group therapy can also be effective.  CBT sessions should be scheduled once per week for 12-15 weeks for best results. These sessions can be repeated as needed. In some countries, such as the UK, CBT is the most widely-prescribed treatment for schizophrenia other than antipsychotic medication. In other countries, CBT may be difficult to access. This is a form of therapy that primarily serves to better educate you about your symptoms and the way they affect your life. Research suggests that learning about the symptoms of schizophrenia will help you develop better understanding of the way these symptoms affect you, and empower you to manage them better.  One of the characteristics of schizophrenia is lack of insight, impulsivity and poor planning. Learning about your diagnosis may help you make better choices regarding situations that negatively impact your life. Education is a gradual process, not a short-term goal. This form of therapy should be an ongoing part of your work with a therapist, and may easily be combined with other forms of therapy such as CBT. Research suggests that ECT may have certain benefits for patients with schizophrenia. It is generally prescribed for people suffering from chronic depression. This is a treatment more commonly practiced in the European Union, and there is little research to support its use to treat people with schizophrenia. However, there are case studies in which people whose symptoms have been resistant to other treatments have responded favorably to ECT.  ECT is usually given three times a week. A patient may require as few as three or four treatments or as many as 12 to 15. Modern ECT methods are painless, unlike the versions practiced decades ago in the early days of ECT....

Individuals with paruresis tend to have shy personalities and are sensitive and fearful of being judged and criticized by others.  Those with severe cases of paruresis may have one or more of the following symptoms:  Needing to have complete privacy when going to the bathroom. Being fearful that other people may hear the sound of urine hitting the water in the toilet. Being fearful that other people may be able to smell the urine. Having negative thoughts while attempting to pee (e.g. I’m such a moron, I’m never going to be able to go pee here.). Not being able to pee in public washrooms, washrooms at other people’s homes or washrooms at work. Not being able to pee at home if someone else is visiting or waiting outside the bathroom. Being anxious at the thought of having to go to the bathroom. Not wanting to drink too much liquid for fear they’ll have to use the bathroom. Avoiding travel and events outside the home in case they have to use the bathroom. While paruresis is not a physical problem, you may have physical problems that are making it worse.  In order to ensure you don’t have any of these other physical problems, it’s best to talk to your doctor and have those other problems investigated.An example of a physical problem that may make your paruresis is prostatitis, which can affect men.

Industrial manufacturing practices are the primary reason the earth's air is polluted, but car-related pollution is the next biggest culprit. The manufacturing of cars and roads, the production of fuel, and the emissions that result from burning that fuel all play a part. Since many cities are laid out in such a way that driving is almost a necessity, it can be hard to determine the best way to combat this problem. No matter where you live, you can take action by finding creative ways to be less dependent on cars.  It may not be practical to give up your car entirely, but you can still take action by reducing your use of your car. For example, instead of driving to the grocery store every other day, make one trip every week or week and a half, stocking up on everything you need all at once.   Carpooling with your neighbors or signing up for a car share program are also great ways to reduce your car use. If you live in New York City you're probably already used to taking mass transit wherever you go, but big cities aren't the only places that offer public transportation. Get familiar with your city or town's bus or train routes, and start replacing your car commute with a bus trip at least once a week. Work up to using public transportation as often as possible, only using your car when you can't figure out a good alternative. Taking a bus or train to work, school or any other activity has a lot of advantages. Aside from doing your part to reduce air pollution, you'll have extra time to read, knit, do crosswords, or people watch. Taking public transportation is also safer than driving, and will probably help reduce your anxiety level since you won't have to deal with rush hour traffic. Even better than taking public transportation is using your own energy to propel you where you want to go. You can probably walk to locations that are within a five minute drive of your house - and if you're adventurous and have the time, you may want to walk even further. If you're lucky enough to live in a place with good bike...

Industrials can be quite painful, and they often take longer to heal than other piercings. Generally, an industrial can take anywhere from three to four weeks, or upwards of six months to heal. Most over-the-counter pain medications will be sufficient to manage the pain you’ll feel in the first couple weeks. Avoid hot compresses. Instead, apply a cold cloth to the area to help relieve pain if necessary. The best way to clean your industrial is with a warm salt solution. The ratio is one-quarter teaspoon of sea or non-iodized salt to eight ounces of warm water. Soak the piercing by submerging it in the solution for seven to 10 minutes. Repeat this two to four times a day. Don’t clean your industrial with soap more than once or twice daily, and if you use soap, use something mild, liquid, and vegetable-based, such as castile soap. This includes sports and exercise, especially anything that involves physical contact. Do not change the jewelry until your industrial has healed, and don’t twist or rotate the jewelry. Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and pools.  Industrials are very sensitive piercings, and can heal improperly if they are jostled, rubbed, or chafed. Keep long hair away from the industrial so that it doesn’t get tangled up with the piercing. Avoid sleeping on the piercing until it’s healed. Certain products can cause irritation, dryness, cell damage, and clogged pores. Don’t clean your piercing with: hydrogen peroxide, scented soaps, rubbing alcohol, antibacterial ointments, and petroleum-based creams or gels. Also avoid using premade ear-care solutions that contain any of those products.  Make sure that items that come in contact with your piercing are clean as well, including your hair, fingers, clothes, and even your phone. Try to prevent your piercing from coming in contact with cosmetics and haircare products like shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, and makeup. There’s about a 30 percent chance of infection with a cartilage piercing, and infections that aren’t addressed immediately can cause permanent...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте готовы к тому, что ранки будут заживать долго. Регулярно очищайте пирсинг. Избегайте нагрузок. Избегайте веществ, которые могут вызвать раздражение в ране. Лечите инфекции как можно скорее. Обратите внимание на симптомы аллергической реакции.


Infection is the most common complication that develops from having surgery.  Contact your doctor immediately if you think your incision is becoming infected.  Symptoms of infection include a temperature of 101°F (38.3°C) or higher, nausea and vomiting, severe pain, a new redness at the incision site, tenderness, a feeling of warmth to the touch, drainage that has an odor or is green or yellow in color, and new swelling around the area of the incision.  Research suggests that as many as 300,000 people that have surgery each year in the United States will develop an infection. And, sadly, about 10,000 of those people with die from that infection. Some characteristics and situations make people more likely to develop an infection, or to have their incision re-open, than others. Some risk factors include being obese, having diabetes or a weakened immune system, malnutrition, taking corticosteroids, or smoking. General steps you can take at home to help prevent infection include washing your hands thoroughly and often and always using clean supplies during dressing changes and after showering to pat the area dry.  Always wash your hands after using the bathroom, handling garbage, touching pets, handling dirty laundry, touching anything that has been outside, and after handling soiled wound dressing materials.  Take caution to advise family members and visitors to wash their hands before coming into contact with the person that had the surgery.  Stop smoking at least two weeks prior to the surgery if possible, though four to six weeks is preferable. Smoking slows down the healing process, depriving the healing tissues of oxygen and potentially causing infection.

Inform them of your desire to convert and you're on your way! There are group classes, called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults), for all people wishing to convert within a period, giving you a social framework for assimilating the experience. But before you start, you'll have to go through the "precatechumenate" process -- which basically means talking to a priest, reflection and attending Mass regularly. It's not nearly as intimidating as it sounds! Sometimes churches work like schools in that you're only allowed to go to the one designated by your geographical area. If you find one that is further away and this is the rule in your diocese, just get a letter from your local parish allowing you to attend your desired church. He will ask you why you wish to become Catholic and in general, talk to you to be sure you are sincere in your desire and are aware of the conditions of being Catholic. If you both are ready to move forward, you will begin in the RCIA. During a Mass, you (and everyone else in your "term") will publicly announce your intentions through the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens and the Rite of Welcoming. Don't worry -- there's no public speaking involved. You are no longer in the pre-catechumenate process and have stepped forward to being a catechumen! You will learn the history of the Church, the beliefs and values of the Catholic Church, and the proper order of celebration of Mass. During this stage, many classes have you attending Mass for only part of the time, leaving before communion, as you may not receive Eucharist until you have entered the Church. However, you'll be involved in many other ways! You will receive anointing, participate in prayers, and become involved with the community at large. Not to mention, your class will become closer and closer and do things on their own time. Most RCIA classes take place over the course of one liturgical cycle. That way, you get to experience all the feasts, fastings, and holidays. In this time, you'll receive a...

Initially in transposing it will be helpful to you to write out what you're doing.  Print or draw an empty staff of music for yourself to try drawing in notes.  Find a simple piece of music keyed in C for you to practice transposing.  Using music designed for beginners, with few accidentals, will make it easier to get the basics. Beginner piano or flute music featuring simple well-known tunes such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star may be a good place to start. Avoid using an advanced piano score, which will likely include chords that will make it harder to practice at first.  Try something simple with only single notes instead. For example, in C the first line of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star will be CC GG AA G.  When you transpose it, it should be FF CC DD C, because that notation is exactly five whole tones lower. Use your cheat sheet to check your work. Use your instrument to run through your transposed music.  Remember to play what you have actually written rather than simply playing by ear.  This step will help you to catch errors. You will quickly realize a mistake if you accurately play what you have written and it does not sound like the original tune. Once you feel comfortable transposing very basic music, try to transpose something more complex.  A duet scored for two flutes will provide you with an opportunity to try transposing both a melody and a harmony line. It may not be immediately apparent if you make a mistake, so invite a friend to play your transposed duet with you to test if it sounds correct. Once you feel confident in transposing you may assume you know at a glance what a transposed note should be.  However, if the note is an accidental (has a # or b sign that puts it out of the usual C scale) you will need to make sure you transpose it correctly. Accidentals are easy to overlook, but make a big difference in whether the piece sounds good or not. Once you have transposed your music you may still find the range to be off.  For example, a soprano singer would find notes transposed to the F...

Insert the needle through the fabric at the starting point of your stitch line, A. Poke through from the back of the fabric to the front.  Pull the needle and thread completely through so that the end knot lies flush against the back of the fabric. Your A point should be at the bottom right edge of your desired stitch line. Cross over the front of the fabric and insert the needle at a position directly above your A point. This new insertion point will be point B.  Pull the needle and thread completely through to the back of the fabric, creating a flat vertical stitch between A and B. This stitch must be straight, not slanted. The distance between A and B will be the width of your stitch. Unless otherwise specified, a width of 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) should suffice. Insert the needle through the fabric at A again. Pull the needle and thread through from back to front. Tighten the thread until it creates a flat vertical stitch at the back of the fabric, mirroring the one on the front. Cross the thread over the front of the fabric and insert the needle at a point lying even with B and to the left. This will be your C point.  The horizontal distance between B and C should roughly match the stitch width. In this example, it should be 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). Continue pulling the needle and thread through to the back of the fabric until a flat diagonal stitch connecting A and C appears on the front of the fabric. Insert the needle through the fabric from back to front, bringing it through at a point vertically beneath C and to the horizontal left of A. This newest point is point D.  Pull the thread through completely, creating a flat vertical stitch along the back of the fabric from C to D. With this step, you have completed a single zigzag stitch. Repeat the steps used to create the first stitch down the entire length of your stitch row. End the row with a vertical stitch.  Reset your stitch labels at the end of each complete zigzag stitch. In other words, the C point of your first zigzag becomes the B point of your second,...

Inspect all the standing rigging—the cables and ropes that support the mast—including the turnbuckles and cotter pins securing the rigging to the hull. Many sailboats have dismasted because a 15-cent cotter pin was missing!  Check the lines (running rigging) that raise and control the sails (halyards and sheets respectively). Make sure that they are separated, not wrapped around each other or fouled on anything else, and that they all have a  figure-eight knot or other stopper knot on the free (bitter) end so they cannot pull through the mast or sheaves. Pull all lines out of their cleats and off their winches. There should be nothing binding any line; all should be free to move and be clear at this point. If you have a topping lift—a small line that holds the back of the boom up and out of the way when the sail isn't in use—let it out until the boom sags downward freely, then re-tie or re-cleat it. Watch out for the boom; it's just swinging around at this point; it will cause a painful "clunk" if it happens to hit you or your crew. The boom will return to its normal, horizontal position when you hoist the mainsail completely. If so equipped, be sure that the tiller is properly attached to and controls the rudder. Your sailboat is now prepared for you to hoist the sails! If your boat doesn't have some kind of wind direction indicator (windex) at the top of the mast, tie a couple of nine-inch pieces of old cassette tape, VHS tape, or oiled yarn to the shrouds—the rigging cables that hold up the mast. These will show you from which direction the wind is blowing. Some sailors find cassette tape to be just too sensitive for this purpose. If that's the case with you, try using VHS tape or oiled yarn instead.  Place them on each side, about four feet up from the sides of the boat. To sail effectively, you will need to know the apparent direction of the wind. The idea is to have the minimum amount of wind resistance when raising the sail, with the sail straight back. In this position, the sail won't be snagging on...

Installing a virtual operating system is much like installing it on a regular PC. You will need to have the installation disc or ISO image as well as any necessary licenses for the operating system that you want to install. You can install most distributions of Linux as well as any version of Windows. Select New Virtual Machine and then choose Typical. VMware will prompt you for the installation media. If it recognizes the operating system, it will enable Easy Installation:  Physical disc – Insert the installation disc for the operating system you want to install and then select the drive in VMware. ISO image – Browse to the location of the ISO file on your computer. Install operating system later. This will create a blank virtual disk. You will need to manually install the operating system later. For Windows and other licensed operating systems, you will need to enter your product key. You will also need to enter your preferred username and a password if you want one. If you are not using Easy Install, you will need to browse the list for the operating system you are installing. The name will help you identify it on your physical computer. It will also help distinguish between multiple virtual computers running different operating systems. You can allocate any amount of free space on your computer to the virtual machine to act as the installed operating system’s hard drive. Make sure to set enough to install any programs that you want to run in the virtual machine. You can set the virtual machine to emulate specific hardware by clicking the “Customize Hardware” button. This can be useful if you are trying to run an older program that only supports certain hardware. Setting this is optional. Check the box labeled “Power on this virtual machine after creation” if you want the virtual machine to start up as soon as you finish making it. If you don’t check this box, you can select your virtual machine from the list in VMware and click the Power On button. Once you’ve powered on the virtual machine for the first...

Instead of creating a blank document, you will be working from a template.  In Word 2007, click the Office icon at the top left of the screen and select "New." In Word 2010 and 2013, click "File" and then "New." You will have dozens of different ready-made postcards to choose from. Select the one that's closest to what you want.  In Word 2007, the easiest method will be to type "postcards" into the search bar at the top of the new document window. This will pull up templates for you to download. In Word 2010 and 2013, there are special sections for postcard templates. Click "Cards" and then select "Postcards." If you purchased blank postcards, search for their manufacturer. If you cannot locate a pre-installed template, check the manufacturer's website for available downloads. Many postcard templates will be easy to edit with each picture and textbox as its own discrete object. Move objects to different areas of your postcard or delete them entirely. If you want to use a custom picture, right click a picture on the template and replace it. Change the text by clicking the textbox. The text's font, size, and color can also be altered using the Font toolbox, just like in a normal Word document. Save your document once you're finished to avoid losing your work.

Instead of growing one from scratch, you can grow a magnolia tree by cutting off a piece from an existing magnolia tree and planting it in the ground. Cut 6-8 inches from a growing magnolia branch with a sterilized pruner, and place the branch in water to sustain it. Place the cuttings in planters with potting soil and trap them in plastic bags to keep in the humidity. The cuttings may begin to root over the next few months.  Cuttings are not always likely to take root. A large percentage of attempted cuttings fail. However, you can maximize your success by dipping the planted stem in a hormone growth solution, purchased from a garden supply store.  This process is much faster than using seeds, as you'll probably get flowers after 2 years as opposed to 10 with a seed. You can skip the seeding process by purchasing a seedling at a nursery. Magnolia trees are quite popular, so you should be able to find a selection at your nearest garden store. This can save you the months of storage so long as you're still planting in the spring. In addition, getting your seedling from a nursery will help ensure you know exactly what kind of tree you'll be getting. Trees don't actually need human help to spread. Left to their own devices, wind will pick up their seeds and spread them around. If you have grown a magnolia tree in an open, wild area, there's a chance its seeds will give life to new trees. Although it will take decades, you should rest assured that your efforts may give life to an entire family of trees in the future. Trees won't germinate if there isn't sufficient room for them to take root.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вырастите дерево магнолии из черенка. Приобретите побеги в питомнике растений. Подождите, пока прорастут новые семена.


Instead of tossing your cat litter or your dog's poop into the trash, put it into the gopher tunnels instead. You won't need a lot; one or two droppings will be enough. Cats and dogs are gopher predators. When gophers smell the poop, they'll think that a predator is nearby. Gophers have very sensitive noses. If they smell something they don't like, they may leave. Here are some scents that are bound to set gophers scurrying:  Fish. The next time you go fishing, save some of the scraps (such as fins) and place them in or next to the tunnels. Castor oil. Dilute castor oil with some water and spray it into the tunnels, You can also try dropping some castor oil capsules into the tunnels instead. Coffee grounds. After you have finished brewing a cup of coffee, sprinkle the grounds into the tunnels and cover them with soil. You can also mix the coffee grounds into your soil. It will help repel the gophers while fertilizing your plants. Dryer sheets. Take a few dryer sheets and tuck them into the holes. The strong smell will send the gophers away. Mothballs. Drop a couple of mothballs into the tunnel, and cover the opening with plastic. Gophers don't like the smell of naphthalene, which is in mothballs. Tabasco sauce. Mix together a few drops of peppermint essential oil, 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce, ½ cup (120 milliliters) of castor oil, and 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water. Soak some cotton balls in the mixture, then drop them into the tunnels. This plant, also known as "Euphorbia Lathyris," is a common gopher repellent. Buy a few from your local nursery and plant them in your yard. Focus on the gopher infested areas.  Other plants that gophers seem to dislike include: castor beans, daffodils, and marigolds.  Some people find that the oleander plant is also an effective gopher repellent. Consider planting oleander around the perimeter of your garden. Like many animals, gophers dislike a lot of noise. If you find gophers in your yard, try using something that makes noise, such as:  Portable radio. Find a cheap,...

Instead of trying to remember to walk every day, decide on a time that works consistently for you and set an alarm on your phone. Using the alarm app on your phone or the alarm on a clock at home, use this tool to keep you consistent throughout the week. If you do not have a consistent schedule, set your daily alarm every morning once you know when you'll have free time. The best time to get extra steps in during your day is after eating, as you will have just spent a good amount of time sitting. By going for a small walk after each meal you will begin to create new, healthy habits. Before you know it, walking after you eat will become second nature. Walking after you eat is also a great way to digest your food quickly, leaving you more prepared for work after the walk. Having a dog is a really good way to get in extra steps throughout your week, as they need to be walked consistently. Take your dog for walks around your neighborhood, or take them to a park where you can walk on a loop. Although you shouldn't buy or adopt a dog for this purpose alone, they do make great walking companions. If you've been wanting a dog for reasons other than just having a walking partner, consider visiting a pet shelter or rescue center to find the perfect pet for you. Recruiting friends for long walks after work or on the weekends will help you get in more steps. Instead of seeing a movie or going out to eat, ask your friends to go on walks around your neighborhood. These walking dates will make you accountable for getting in extra steps at night, and you can walk until you meet your goal. If your friends can't meet in person, try calling a friend or family member who lives out of town and speak with them on the phone while you walk. Walking outside in the heat can sometimes be too much during the summer. If it is too hot to walk outside, purchase a treadmill or use one at a gym so you can walk in a comfortable room with air conditioning. You can purchase a used treadmill for around $200 USD online, or get a membership to a...

Instead, place your used toilet paper or baby wipes in a sealable plastic bag. If you’ll be out in the woods for several days, either bring several individual, empty plastic bags or one larger one to contain all of your used paper.  Animals will dig up the used toilet paper which is why you shouldn’t bury it. This bag should be kept in your toiletry bag. If you’re using leaves that you found nearby, these can go directly into the hole. When you're finished, you'll want to make sure that you cover the hole and your business with the soil you scooped out. Make sure the ground is nice and flat so it won’t attract the attention of any animals.  Your trowel should never touch any waste, so only use it to scoop soil back into the hole. Try walking on the hole to compact the soil. This is to indicate to others that this is the spot where you used the bathroom. The stick doesn’t need to be very big - 6 inches (15 cm) is long enough. Place it vertically in the soil, ensuring that it won’t fall over. This will ensure you don’t have lingering germs on your hands.  Use just a drop or two of the hand sanitizer. It’s a good idea to put the hand sanitizer in its own small plastic bag inside your toiletries bag to ensure it stays germ-free.

Internet sites can help you plug in a phone number and find a potential address match for the person that you seek. Both Yellow Pages and White Pages offer this service. When looking up people's personal information on the internet, you run into privacy issues. Locating someone's address and showing up uninvited can be considered stalking or a breach in privacy. White Pages allows you to search if you know the person's name and the town or state in which the person lives. Using this tool, you can also find their phone number. By obtaining their phone number, you can contact them and ask them for their address.  If you are trying to find someone internationally, try using White Pages International or Numberway. It offers details on look-up information in 6 continents and more than 33 countries. When searching for someone online, you might need to try searching for their names in different ways. Try searching for them by nicknames, maiden names, and birth names. Social networking sites generally list the city where people are living. Many sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, use GPS to post the location of a person when they make a post. While these social media sites might not give you the direct address, they can provide you with a way to get in touch with the person to ask them yourself. Try sites such as Facebook, Reunion.com, Batchmates, Classmates.com, Pipl.com, and Linkedin.  Many of the social media websites require users to create accounts and log in to view other member information. Some of the sites, such as Facebook, require friend requests to be accepted by the person before you can view their personal information. Searching for people on social media websites can be considered cyberstalking. Cyberstalking is "defined as using the Internet or other electronic means as a way to harass, intimidate, threaten, monitor or make unwanted advances towards another." This includes e-mail and interaction via social media sites, like Facebook; furthermore, secretly watching or gathering information...

Introductory letters should be addressed to the person who will be reading it, whenever possible. If you're submitting to a general account or hiring company and you're not sure, addressing a letter "All concerned" or addressing a letter to the hiring manager or the titled position is also appropriate. Begin your letter by stating your position, title, or role and explaining why you're writing. You don't usually have to include your name in the letter, because your name will be included in your signature. As early as possible in a letter of introduction, you need to express your reason for writing. What do you want? Why are you writing? If these questions even occur to an employer or company, your letter is more likely to end up in the trash than to end up getting you an interview. Cut to the chase: "I am writing today to inquire about openings for a new comptroller" or  "I am writing to outline the features of a new product recently unveiled by my company" are perfectly effective statements of purpose, which should be one of the earliest sentences in the letter. When writing an introductory letter, it's good to have a consistent, competent style that doesn't stray too far toward familiarity or end up sounding too stiff or technical. For a letter of introduction, your tone should be professional, but not cold or robotic. It's important to have some element of human warmth in the letter, while keeping the overall content professional.  One common mistake that inexperienced writers make is in avoiding contractions at all cost, to such a degree the letter ends up sounding like it was translated, rather than written. Use contractions, letting the letter sound conversational, but also professional. Let the letter represent you. Don't try to sound smart by substituting thesaurus words for words you would normally use. This isn't a master's thesis, this is an intro letter. Use the appropriate words and be concise. Explain how you came to learn about the position, the opportunity, or the company to which you're...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если это возможно, адресуйте свое письмо конкретному человеку. Четко укажите свою цель. Установите подходящий тон и стиль для письма. Установите личную связь.


Introverted personalities tend to be quiet, reflective and easily drained in high energy environments. They are often considered to be "thinkers" and are viewed as people who are contented with solitude. This is a key indicator of the difference between extroverts and introverts.  Extroverts tend to recharge by interacting with others, being social and participating in social gatherings, events, etc. The social stimulation energizes the extrovert. Introverts tend to recharge by withdrawing from social occasions and other people, sitting in solitude or maybe talking to only one other trusted person. This is because the extra stimulation from spending time around people, noise and constant comings and goings drains the energy of an introvert. Without this ability to withdraw, an introvert soon becomes edgy, tense, irritable and ill-at-ease. Introverts tend to be very sensitive to external stimuli, such as noise, light and activity. While an extrovert might find working with the radio on a total breeze, the introvert may find the radio so highly distracting that only total silence will allow for him or her to work effectively.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, каков характер интровертов. Обратите внимание на то, как человек приходит в себя, если он понервничал или устал. Помните, что интровертам легче перевозбудиться в определенных ситуациях.


Is he paying way more attention to you than other girls (or even his own friends)? Is he nicer or does he try to touch you more? These may be signs that he's interested in you. Notice how, when, and how often he touches you. A touch to the cheek or neck is a dead giveaway, but a touch to the hand, arm, or lower back can also be a sign that he wants to get closer. You should also pay attention for the thumb rub. If he rubs his thumb softly against your skin while he touches you, that is a very good sign. Does he ask about your hobbies? Follow up on things you told him you were going to do? Does he make an effort to get to know your friends? Does he try to learn about your family or where you grew up? These are signs that he's interested in you. If a guy is giving you little gifts, especially ones he made himself, that is a clear sign that he's interested. If the gift is very tailored to you or to something you did together, that's the real clue. When in doubt, the best idea is to remove the ambiguity and test the waters a bit. Ask him to be your date to a thing you have to go to or just invite him to spend some alone time together doing something date-like. If he says no, it doesn't bode well. If he really likes you he'll just about bend Heaven and Earth to spend time together.

TL;DR in Russian:

Присмотритесь к тому, как он ведет себя с вами и с другими людьми. Обратите внимание на язык тела. Обратите внимание на то, интересуется ли он вашей жизнью. Проведите проверку на подарки. Разведайте обстановку.


Is she acting differently around you lately or asking for your input on major life decisions? Some people might read this as a sign of a strengthening friendship, but it could also be a sign that she's ready to take things to the next level. Does she consistently return your phone calls and text messages? Does she show up at important events that you ask her to attend? Someone who consistently makes times for you could be interested in being more than just friends. Ask your friends what they think about her attitude towards you. If the general consensus is that she likes you, you can feel comfortable about trying to move forward. If they all think she just sees you as a friend, you may want to back off from making any strong advances.

TL;DR in Russian:

Общее поведение. Ее доступность. Узнайте мнение друзей.


Is the rabbit still growing and still spending a lot of time with its mother? Baby rabbits are born blind, and deaf. They are very small and nursed by their mother once or twice every 24 hours, usually at night.  By 6 - 8 days the eyes and ears open and they have thin fluff. By 2 weeks of age they will have a full coat of fur. By two weeks of age rabbits start showing an interest in nibbling grass and herbage. By 3 weeks of age they are regularly leaving the nest and readily reacting to sounds. Young rabbits begin weaning from the mother at about 4 - 5 weeks of age, by which time they look like miniature adults. Weaning is usually complete (the youngster no longer feeds from the mother) by 8 weeks of age. To figure this out you need to know how big your breed of rabbit should be when full grown. If you are uncertain if you have a small breed of rabbit that is an adult, or a young rabbit that is still growing, then take weekly photographs of the rabbit and compare the pictures.  If necessary include the same object each week as a reference, or a rule. Depending on the breed, rabbits continue to grow until they are 6 - 9 months old (the top of the range for larger breeds). Adolescence in the rabbit occurs when the rabbit start to produce reproductive hormones. This most commonly happens from 4 months of age onward, with 4 - 6 months being a typical age at which rabbits become interested in the opposite sex. Adolescent rabbits tend to be very nosy and inquisitive, and love to check out their environment. If they encounter another rabbit of the same sex, their rising hormones may cause them to squabble and fight. A young rabbit is likely to be reactive, and indulge in a lot of back paw thumping at perceived dangers. However, if they meet the opposite sex they may try to mate.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, если ваш кролик еще не достиг взрослого возраста. Определите, продолжает ли ваш кролик расти. Оцените репродуктивное поведение вашего питомца.


Is your dog Biscuit on Facebook? Does Vilos Cohaagen, the Mars Administrator villain from the movie Total Recall have a Pinterest presence? If you're feeling bored online, all you need is a free email account to start a new Facebook fan page or some other kind of social networking account. As long as you're not using it to slander, there's nothing wrong with starting a tribute or fan page. Try to make it as accurate as possible. Update your dog's Twitter account regularly, every time he seems to be thinking something ridiculous: "who's foot is that oh yeah it's mine. #four is a confusing number of feet" . Got a YouTube account and access to a webcam? Think of a cool video to put on YouTube and start making one. Rummage through your purse and record a "What's in my purse" video, or review a recent candy that you brought, or a television show you watched, or a trailer you saw. Or start vlogging and vent to the camera.  Be sure that the camera isn’t shaky and offers good clarity. Don’t forget to edit the video that you're going to make for the right effect that you need. Do you have opinions? Even if you don't, there's an outlet for venting them online. Open a Yelp account and review something absurd, like Walmart. How many stars is the local Gas Station out of five stars? What about that recent used DVD copy of Jean Claude Van Damme's "Bloodsport" you got? Write up a serious review and post it on Amazon. From Gummy Bears to Banana Slicers, there are viral review topics on a regular basis. Find something that's getting trolled currently and chip in. Have a conversation with an old friend online if you're feeling bored. In all seriousness, this can be a great way to If you're stuck at home and have an itch to go shopping, you can window shop just as you might at the mall. Check out your favorite clothes retailers, record stores, or other retailers online and just never click "buy." It can be a fun way to daydream. Easy way to pass the time? Cue up some of your favorite tunes and start banging your head. Cue some...

Is your partner similar to you in most ways, or is he the exact opposite of you? Research has found that, in long-term relationships, couples who are more similar tend to be more successful in long-term relationships.  To do this, you really have to be honest with yourself. How similar are your values, goals, and beliefs? Do you enjoy doing a few of the same things? If you are in the early stages of a relationship, it may be difficult to do this honestly. If you are having trouble, consider asking a friend to help you identify the ways you are similar and the ways you are different. If he has already done so, then great! This is a good sign that your partner is at least open to a long-term relationship. On the other hand, if your partner hasn’t done so, and doesn’t seem open to considering the idea any time soon, then he may be hesitant to commit to a relationship. Research also suggests that the more his friends and family approve of you, the less likely it is that the relationship will end. Does he answer promptly when you call or text? Does he make plans with you often, or is he constantly having to cancel? If your calls and texts often go unanswered, and if it seems as though he is somewhat reluctant to make plans with you, then they are probably unlikely to commit to a long-term relationship. For example, are there references to the future made (e.g. about spending Christmas together)? This is a good sign that he wants you to be around in the future. If your partner is serious about a long-term relationship with you, his behavior will change around men or women who would normally interest him. For example, if you are a woman dating a man and a very beautiful woman walks by, does she steal all of his attention? If so, he may still be hoping to keep his options open. That’s not to say, though, that he will never even look at another girl. Only, that if he is committed, he won’t be entranced by the sight.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите личность вашего партнера. Попросите партнера познакомить вас с его друзьями и семьей. Подумайте о том, как ваш партнер реагирует на вас. Изучите поведение вашего партнера.


It can be difficult to analyze your dreams if you can't remember them. To make it easier on yourself, keep a notebook beside your bed with a pen ready to go, every time you go to sleep. As soon as you wake up, write down everything that you were dreaming. Describe it in as specific an amount of detail as possible. Try to do it as soon as you've awakened, no matter how tired you are.  What did you see? Who was there? What did you notice around you in terms of senses like smells, tastes, textures? How did you connect to it emotionally? Was it a scary dream? A sexy dream? A pleasant dream? Write down dialog first. This tends to be the first thing to go and it can be frustrating to think that something important might have been communicated and not be able to remember what it was. If you struggle to remember your dreams, wake yourself up in the middle of them. Interrupting your dreams is an effective way of recognizing the symbols in them and keeping the images fresh in your mind. Set an alarm on your phone to go off every three hours, which will allow you to complete two full REM cycles of 90 minutes each. You can write down your dreams in only a minute or two, meaning that you'll still be able to get a full night of sleep and will be able to record your dreams. Just as you might with symbols that come up in your meditation, start interrogating the symbols rise out of your dreams and assigning significance and meaning to them.  Pick up on lots of different things in each dream. Go back to your image of crabs drinking gasoline on the beach. The crabs and the gasoline seem significant, but also consider what drinking might symbolize, what sand might symbolize, and other tactile or emotional elements to the images. How did it feel to watch? People are symbols as well. Dreaming that you kissed your best friend doesn't necessarily "mean" that you're in love with your best friend and you should start kissing. When we dream of specific people, it is because our subconscious has attached a symbolic meaning to those...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните вести дневник снов. Будите себя время от времени ночью. Отыщите символы в сновидениях и определите их значение. Соотнесите символы, увиденные во сне, с реальной жизнью и будущим. Практикуйте осознанные сновидения и спрашивайте о будущем.


It can be hard to provide support from a distance. Figuring out your partner's language of love can help you figure out the best way to help him or her feel secure. A person's language of love is how that person best feels supported and cared for. People respond best to different types of support and comfort.  Some people prefer words of affirmation to feel loved. Statements like, "I miss you" and "I love you" are helpful. If your partner seems to rely on words, try writing long letters and e-mails expressing how much you care. For some, actions are more important than words. People may feel supported if their partner shows they care through kind gestures, or sends gifts. If your partner prefers actions, you can send him or her care packages, make video messages, or periodically send gifts. Unfortunately, some languages of love are harder to cater to from a distance. Some people prefer physical touch and quality time to feel secure. This presents a challenge during deployment. However, you can try to help by telling your partner how much you miss his or her touch, and how you wish your partner was with you just to watch television together on a rainy night. If you're able to send care packages to where your partner is deployed, do so. A care package is a great gesture that can help your partner feel secure.  Include photos, treats, and small sentimental objects. Be creative. If your partner has a sense of humor, include a funny card or note. It can also be cute to send "coupons" for when your partner gets back. Something like, "Free for one good back rub" or "Free for a fancy dinner out." This can help give your partner something to look forward to when he or she returns. Make sure you check military regulations before sending out a care package. During deployment, there may be certain items that are banned. During deployment, you and your partner may be communicating through e-mail and text messages a lot of the time. Without verbal cues to help a person read emotions, miscommunication can be a problem. It's...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите, как ваш партнер выражает свою любовь и чего он ждет от вас. Отправляйте партнеру посылки, если это возможно. Не допускайте недопониманий. Рассказывайте друг другу о мелких повседневных радостях. Придумайте необычный способ поддерживать друг друга на расстоянии.


It can be hard to stay focused on your schoolwork or job when people are talking about you behind your back. Instead of giving your attention to the negativity, pour your energy into positive activities to distract yourself. You might reorganize your desk, go for a walk around the block, go chat up a friend, or set a personal deadline to finish a project. When people are talking about you, it’s easy to feel isolated. Combat this feeling by making an extra effort to be with people who cherish you. These people can boost your mood, improve your self-confidence, and even make you forget negative gossip or rumors. Call up your best friend and ask them to hang out. You might also spend more time with your partner or family. Being talked about behind your back can make you question your strengths and abilities. Don’t fall prey to self-criticism. Instead, try to remember your value as a person by purposefully thinking about what makes you great. Sit down and make a list.  Include all your positive traits, things you like about yourself and features others admire about you. You might list things like, “great listener,” “good shoulder to lean on,” or “creative.”  Try to give yourself at least one compliment each day. It can even be something small, like the pretty color of your eyes! Positive actions bring about positive thoughts and feelings. When you’re getting down on yourself due to gossip, treat yourself as kindly as you would a friend. Try to schedule a little time to be nice to yourself every day. For example:  Walk your dog or play with your cat. Listen to your favorite music or sing in the shower. Write or draw something. Consider giving yourself a bigger treat one per week, such as a manicure, going to the mall or movies, or eating your favorite ice cream.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отвлекитесь. Старайтесь проводить время с позитивными людьми. Напомните себе о том, как вы прекрасны. Сделайте для себя что-нибудь хорошее и приятное.


It can be helpful to format the font, margins, and spacing of your report before you start writing it, rather than trying to go through and set it all up at the end. Then, as you’re writing out paragraphs, go ahead and put in a citation every time you include information from one of your sources. That way, you don’t forget to do it after you’re finished.  Try to follow any formatting instructions to the letter. If there aren't any, opt for something classic, like 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, double-spaced lines, and 1 in (2.5 cm) margins all around.  You'll usually need to include a bibliography at the end of the report that lists any sources you used. You may also need a title page, which should include the title of the report, your name, the date, and the person who requested the report. For some types of reports, you may also need to include a table of contents and an abstract or summary that briefly sums up what you’ve written. It’s typically easier to write these after you’ve finished your first draft. Your intro is where you introduce your topic and state your thesis. Your introductory paragraph should be engaging, since you want the reader to be interested in reading the rest of your report. You should provide some background information on your topic, then state your thesis so that the reader knows what the report is going to be about.  Example Intro for Thesis 1: “The Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) of 1915 was intended to celebrate both the creation of the Panama Canal, and the technological advancements achieved at the turn of the century. The three main halls of the PPIE were filled with modern creations of the day and were an excellent representation of the innovative spirit of the Progressive era.” The body paragraphs are where you state the evidence that supports your thesis. Each body paragraph consists of a topic sentence and evidence supporting the topic sentence. The topic sentence introduces the main idea of the body paragraph and links the paragraph back to the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Отформатируйте доклад в соответствии с указаниями. Сформулируйте свою тему во введении. Начинайте каждый абзац в докладе с тематического предложения.

Подведите итог вашего исследования в заключительном абзаце.


It can be helpful to get your teen’s input on what they think is reasonable and fair. When they take ownership of their own behavior and the boundaries which surround it, they may be more inclined to follow through. While you have the final say, they can feel like their opinions are valid and considered.Let your teen know that you’re open to receiving feedback regarding house rules. If they want to change one, have them make a case or provide an alternative. When your teen acts out, take away something that’s a privilege. This might include television time, a cell phone, or car access. Allow them to earn back privileges with good behavior. For instance, if your 13-year-old has been talking back to you, take away their cell phone for one day.  If they continue to talk back to you when it’s time to get the phone back, keep it for an extra day.  Let them know they can earn back their privileges when they show you positive behaviors. Teens will likely push up against rules or go through periods of rebellion. If you set up lots of firm rules, you may need to brace yourself for each of them to be broken. If your teen is rule-averse, try making deals with them so that both your and their interests can be heard.For example, if you want your teen to check in with where they’re going and who they’re with, offer to buy them a cell phone with the conditions that they will use it to stay in contact with you and if they don’t, you’ll take it away.

It can be inside or outside, as long as it's relatively quiet and peaceful. Avoid steep hills, or places where you'll have to stop a lot. You will need a space where you can walk back and forth for at least 10 - 15 paces. If you are in a public place, find a spot where you will not be disturbed by other people.  Before you begin walking, do some stretches. Rock from side to side and from front to back. Make sure your spine is straight, and you have good posture. If you are indoors, try walking barefoot or in socks. This may make it easier for you to be aware of your feet as you are walking. Practice walking meditation indoors before you begin walking outdoors.  There will be fewer distractions. Also, walking meditation often looks strange to other people.  You do not want to be concerned with how other people will react to you. Take 10-15 steps in one direction while breathing normally. Pause after you have finished your steps and then breathe again. Take as long as you like. Once you are finished breathing, take 10-15 steps in the opposite direction. Pause and breather again.  Continue this pattern for at least 10 minutes.  If counting the number of steps you are taking is distracting, pick a defined point on the path where you will turn around. You can also meditate by walking in a straight path.  Do not feel obligated to pace back and forth as you meditate. You can walk at any speed that choose.  However, it is best if you walk slowly and take small steps. Choose a pace that feels natural and that is comfortable for you. Let your arms and hands move naturally as you walk as well. Walking meditation should not be strenuous or cause you to feel out of breathe.  Try different paces each time you meditate until you find a pace that works best for you.  Remember that you are walking to connect to your body and mind, not to get in a good workout. Walking meditation helps create unity between your body and your mind. Breathe in as you take two or three steps.  Then breath out and take three, four, or five steps....

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите подходящее место для ходьбы. Начните ходьбу. Сами определяйте свой темп. Соедините дыхание с шагами.


It can be really hard, but if you want to have a good life as a Christian, you'll have to do your best to avoid sins. Since sin is anything that isn't part of God's will for your life, it can feel almost impossible to avoid them all. However, even if you do commit a sin, pray for God's forgiveness and try to do better next time.  In Colossians 3:5-10, the Bible lists a number of earthly sins to avoid, including sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, idolatry, anger, wrath, malice, slander, obscene talk, and lying. John 14:21 says following God's laws is a way to show Jesus that you love him: "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." Try to channel God's love for you into the way you treat other people. If someone does something hurtful to you, try to forgive them the way God has forgiven you for your sins. Encourage and support the people you meet as much as you can, and reach out to help when you see someone in need.  In James 1:19-20, the Bible advises you to be "quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger." In Matthew 5:3-10, Jesus gives a speech known as The Beatitudes, where he admonishes his followers to be peaceful, meek, and righteous. The Beatitudes say: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." While it's tempting to put a high value on your earthly possessions or your personal accomplishments, the Bible says those things are "of the world." Try to let go of the idea that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Старайтесь избегать искушения согрешить. Относитесь к другим с любовью, состраданием и прощением. Не попадайте в ловушку материализма. Прислушайтесь к Божьему призыву по поводу того, как следует служить окружающим. Делитесь своей верой с окружающими.


It can be very difficult to tell if someone is interested in you, especially when it’s a friend that you already have feelings for. However, there are a few signs you can look for that might indicate that your friend feels the same way. Some signs of romantic interest might include that she:  Finds reasons to run into you when you don’t have plans to hang out Likes to bring up inside jokes or memories you two share Follows and likes a lot of what you do and say on social media Body language can say a lot about how people feel, including whether your friend is interested in you the same way you are in her. Body language to watch for that suggests romantic interest includes:  She might expose her wrists. It's a sign of submission females use to attract males. If she is not wearing long sleeves, it may just be exposing the underside of her wrists by turning one upwards, possibly while holding a wine glass or smoking a cigarette. She might try to close distances between you, such as by sitting beside or across from you, passing you things often, or even edging her drink closer toward you Touching her neck and looking at you Playing with the rim of her glass when you're having dinner or drinks Making frequent eye contact with you, even if she looks away after locking eyes Asking a friend on a date can be risky, and you want to make sure the timing is right before you commit. You should be sure she isn't already seeing someone else, otherwise you might put yourself, her, and your friendship in an awkward position.   To find out if she's dating anyone, try to bring it up casually. Try saying something like, “Have you met anyone interesting on Tinder lately,” or, “So did things ever work out with that guy you were seeing a while back.” If you're not comfortable asking her yourself, you can always ask mutual friends if she's seeing anyone. One of the simplest and most effective ways to find out if your friend feels the same way that you do is to ask her. It may seem forward, but you will end up with a much more...

TL;DR in Russian:

It doesn’t take a genius to pick up some new vocabulary, but a few impressive words and some grammatical flourishes might give you the appearance of being an intellectual. Download a word-a-day app, or simply make some flashcards. Identify some common grammatical errors in your speech and correct them. You could even look up a few brainy-sounding literary quotations to pepper into your conversations. Remember, using impressive words is only impressive if you use them correctly--saying "juxtaposition" won't earn you any points if you don't understand what it means or how it's pronounced. The same way everyone kind of starts to suspect that the guy who keeps insisting he’s not racist might be kind of racist, if you constantly try to impress everyone with how smart you are, people may start to wonder. If you are taciturn and humble instead, people may infer that you are consumed with deep thoughts. One good opportunity to put this into action is if someone else makes a stupid comment in a group conversation. If you leap in to correct or mock them, you run the risk of seeming mean rather than intelligent. Instead, let them do the work for you--simply stay silent for a moment, letting their remark sink in, and just when it starts to feel awkward, move the conversation along. It will give the impression that you simply couldn't find a way to respond to such a ridiculous comment, and decided to move past it to spare that person further embarrassment. People tend to naturally assume that well-dressed, well-spoken individuals are more intelligent than sloppy ones who mumble all the time. You may also want to consider starting to wear glasses. It sounds silly, but when it comes to making people think you are intelligent, four eyes are better than two. Again, it sounds silly, and frankly, it is, but nonetheless, there is actual evidence to suggest that calling yourself Frank R. Miller instead of Frank Reginald Miller will make you seem smarter to other people. If you want to capitalize on this effect, just add another...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте умные слова. Будьте скромным и сдержанным. Умейте хорошо себя подать. Используйте отчество.


It helps a lot. Unless it is at night and/or you live in a quiet place and you are alone, there are always some distracting noises coming from people, nature, machines, etc. Earplugs can be a bit uncomfortable so do not use them for very long periods at a time (e.g. take a break after an hour). Divide the card up into three sections: morning, afternoon, and night. Every time you catch your mind wandering, make a little checkmark in the appropriate box. After only a little while, you'll find that your mind won't wander as often, simply by keeping a tally!  Being aware of the issue is the first step, and this method helps you stay very aware of each time you lose your concentration. Your awareness of what you're doing will eventually help you improve your concentration, without any added effort. With this method, you'll eventually be able to pinpoint your most vulnerable times. Say you find a lot of tallies during the morning, when you're still tired and your mind is likely to drift. That's a sign that you should be improving your concentration by getting more sleep, or eating a healthy breakfast. If you have a set time during the day — say your "drift off" time is at 5:30 every day, when you get back from school or work — you may be less likely to sanction drifting off during 11 a.m. or 3 p.m. If you catch yourself drifting off during any of the unsanctioned times, tell yourself that you have a designated drift off time and try to keep your brain concentrated on whatever task is at hand. Blood is the main vehicle of oxygen in our bodies. But blood gets pooled in the lower half of our bodies as a result of gravity, and doesn't push as much oxygen to the brain, where it helps improve concentration. In order to help oxygenate the brain, get up and take a walk every so often to get the blood pumping. If you're stuck at work and you can't really carve out the time for exercise, try doing exercises at work. These can include any number of things, including isometric or aerobic exercises. If your brain has to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте беруши. Отмечайте каждый случай, когда мысли начинают блуждать. Выделяйте конкретные моменты времени, когда можно расслабиться. Улучшайте приток кислорода к мозгу. Делайте короткую передышку для мозга каждые полчаса или час. Выполняйте дела по очереди до полного завершения. Используйте метод паука. Работайте за столом, а не в постели. Используйте правило пяти элементов.


It is a dead giveaway if you refuse to "wake up" no matter how many times someone calls your name or shakes you. People who are really sleeping wake up from disturbances. If you start smiling when someone is trying to wake you up, you will give yourself away. Instead, groggily moan and act irritated that you were woken up. It takes a little while for people to regain their clarity when they are woken up suddenly. Have you ever woken someone up by calling them? Think of how you could tell they were sleeping. They probably seemed disoriented and their voice may have been muffled. If someone else is in the room with you and there is a loud noise, like thunder or an ambulance, move a little bit so the other person can tell your sleep was disturbed. You don’t have to jump out of bed wide awake. We sleep through loud noises all the time, and we may never remember them, but often our sleep is slightly disturbed.

TL;DR in Russian:

Имитируйте пробуждение, если вас пытаются разбудить. Не ухмыляйтесь. Демонстрируйте замешательство, когда вас пытаются разбудить. Демонстрируйте реакцию на громкий шум.


It is also important for you to see your primary care physician because there are several medical conditions that can cause mood swings that look like bipolar disorder, and it is important to rule those out. Your doctor will complete a physical exam to rule out any other conditions and then refer you to a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist. Your doctor may ask you to describe your symptoms. They will also review your medical history. There are two types of bipolar disorder: bipolar I disorder, which is the most severe type, and bipolar II disorder, where you have only depression and not mania. Depending on your symptoms, a mental health professional can determine which type you have. There are several different types of medications that can help to treat the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Your psychiatrist may suggest trying several different ones to find the right ones for you. You may be given mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics, and antidepressants.  Always talk to your psychiatrist about the possible risks and side effects of these medications. If you notice any troubling side effects, talk to your psychiatrist right away. Your psychiatrist may adjust your dosage or switch you to a different medication. Do not stop taking your medication without talking to your psychiatrist first. Stopping your medication can lead to a rebound or make your symptoms worse. You may also experience withdrawal symptoms. Therapy can be an effective treatment for bipolar disorder. Your psychiatrist may recommend therapy treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT allows you to examine how your thoughts affect your emotions. This therapy can also help you change negative thinking patterns and behaviors. It can help you manage your symptoms better and avoid a relapse. To do CBT, you will work with a therapist on a regular basis to treat your symptoms. Interpersonal therapy can help you reduce the level of stress your disorder causes you in day to day life. Stress can be a major...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте о интраперсональной и социальной ритмической психотерапии. Симптомы биполярного расстройства часто оказывают негативное влияние на взаимоотношения в семье, поэтому подумайте о специальном курсе семейной терапии. Попросите психиатра рассказать вам о других методах лечения. Фиксируйте аспекты своего состояния в таблице настроения.


It is an equation that describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes in time. It is as central to quantum mechanics as Newton's laws are to classical mechanics. Solutions to the Schrödinger equation describes not only molecular, atomic and subatomic systems, but also macroscopic systems, possibly even the whole universe.  The most general form is the time-dependent Schrödinger equation which gives a description of a system evolving with time. For systems in a stationary state, the time-independent Schrödinger equation is sufficient. Approximate solutions to the time-independent. Schrödinger  equations are commonly used to calculate the energy levels and other properties of atoms and molecules.

It is best to have a tea you enjoy drinking, but you should know that certain teas are considered more effective for weight loss than others. Find ways to create a healthy tea-drinking habit. This is easiest if you make “tea-time” a regular thing. Drink a cup in the morning and one in the afternoon, then have a decaf or herbal tea with bed, as they are still somewhat effective without caffeine.  Substitute tea for morning coffee. Brew tea in advance and chill it for iced tea on hot days. Cream and sugar will destroy any weight loss benefits earned by the tea. You need to get used to drinking your tea plain, without adornment. Tea is a great way to help regulate your metabolism. But for the best results, start using tea whenever you feel a craving for something sweet or unhealthy. Often a warm cup of tea will be enough to settle your stomach and avoid temptation.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите чай в зависимости от его эффективности и своих личных предпочтений. Пейте чай каждый день. Ничего не добавляйте в чай. Пейте чай, чтобы справиться с чувством голода.


It is best to place all of the required materials on your desk, table, or wherever you plan to work. Below is what you will need to make and fly your kite:  8.5” by 11” sheet of printing paper, construction paper, or card stock A thin wooden stick or bamboo skewer Tape Lightweight string Lightweight ribbon Pencil Scissors Hole punch (optional) A nice breeze or light wind (6-15 mph) Place your paper in front of you in a horizontal position with the long sides at the top and bottom. Fold your paper in half so that the fold (seam) is on the left side. Use your pencil to make a dot at the very top of the folded paper, about 1.5” to 2” from the fold, depending on your desired wing size. Make another dot at the very bottom of the folded paper, about 1.5” to 2” from the opening. Imagine or draw a line that connects the two dots. Delta kites were first created in the 1940s by Wilbur Green and were designed with wings that fly well in lighter winds. Fold the paper along the line that you just made or imagined. Turn the paper over and fold that side exactly as you did in step 3. Be sure both sides are exactly the same. Use your tape to secure the folded sides along the middle seam. You should already see your kite taking shape. Place your thin wooden stick or bamboo skewer horizontally across the widest part of the wings. This section of the kite is also called the sail. Use tape to secure the stick into place. Be sure that your stick is not longer than the width of the kite. If it is, carefully use your scissors to shorten the stick. Draw a dot about a third of the way down the spine of your kite and about half an inch from the edge. Place tape over this dot and make sure the piece of tape is long enough to cover both sides. Use your hole punch to make a hole over the dot. This hole is the attachment point for the string.  The hole will be located at the narrow end of the flap, which is towards the top of the kite. If you do not have a hole punch, you can carefully use scissors to create the hole. The purpose of the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте все необходимые материалы. Приступите к изготовлению воздушного змея. Наметьте расположение крыльев змея. Соберите и закрепите крылья. Укрепите каркас змея. Подготовьте место крепления нити. Привяжите нить. Сделайте хвост.


It is easier to remove the tampon when you are seated on the toilet. Being seated will allow you to spread your legs apart and access the tampon. It will also help you angle your fingers so you can easily slide out the tampon. Sitting on the toilet will also ensure that any blood that drips out when you remove the tampon will go into the toilet. This will make for less mess, with no blood on your underwear or on the floor. Your tampon should have a white string that dangles off the end of the tampon. You should be able to look between your legs and find the string coming out of your vagina. If you do not see a string dangling out, it may have gotten stuck in your vagina throughout the day. Often, the string gets broken or tangled up when you exercise. You may need to use your fingers to probe around your vaginal opening for the string. Once you have located the string, you should grip it gently with two fingers. Then, carefully pull on the string to slide the tampon out of your vagina. It should slide out fairly easily with a gentle pull. If your tampon does not come out or appears to be stuck, you may need to seek medical attention. Sometimes tampons can get stuck if they are left in too long, if the string gets stuck in your vagina, or if you accidentally have sex while wearing a tampon. You should get the tampon removed as soon as possible by a doctor as leaving the tampon in can put you at a high risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сядьте на унитаз. Нащупайте ниточку, которая крепится к тампону. Аккуратно достаньте веревочку и потяните за нее двумя пальцами.


It is easier to see the stars and planets in the night sky if you live in a rural area. If you’re in the city, it will be much more difficult to see them because of light pollution. Try to find a spot away from stray light that shines off of buildings. The planets are rarely near one another in the night sky. Knowing where to see them is very important. A great way to find them is to locate them when they appear as part of a constellation.  Mercury: Mercury will be visible near the Sun. You’ll lose it in the Sun’s glare for most of the year, but it will return to view in the middle of August.  Mars: look low in the morning sky, Mars moves eastward. Jupiter: Jupiter is always located very far away from the sun. Saturn: look low in the Libra constellation to see this bright planet. The planets may have an apparition period but may earlier in the eastern hemisphere and later in the night in the western hemisphere. When you look at the apparition periods, take into consideration what part of the earth you’re on.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помните, что огни ночного города помешают вам найти планеты на небе. Посмотрите на правое полушарие небесного свода. Учитывайте ваше местоположение на Земле.


It is easy to say that a good child listens to her parents (and other authority figures) and does what she is told.  While this is normally true, it is more important that children learn to take responsibility for what they need to do.  As a child who strives to be your best, you need to accept that there are things you have to do, for the benefit of yourself and others.  The goal of being a good child isn’t really about giving your parents a little less grief (although they will welcome that).  Good children learn qualities that will help them become happy, successful, “good” adults. For example, you need to take responsibility for doing your homework and completing your chores, without constant reminders or resistance.  This will help you to become more self-motivated, self-sufficient, and successful in work and life as an adult. Every one of us (including adults) sometimes gets angry, frustrated, whiny, or stressed out.  There is no way to deny or avoid these emotions, and it would be unhealthy to do so anyway.  However, you can work on recognizing and managing your emotions more effectively.  Learning to control anger is one of the most important lessons for children.  When you feel anger welling up, simple steps like taking deep breaths, in the nose and out the mouth, and counting to five can help you calm and contain it.  Then, you can think more clearly about what caused the anger and what you can do differently next time to manage it.  Uncontrolled anger isn't always the cause of bad behavior, though.  Sometimes kids act out when they are upset, sad, confused, or lonely.  You might experience these emotions if you've been bullied in school, left out of a group activity, or rejected by a friend.  When you feel down, talk to an adult you trust.  If you can talk to your parents about your emotions, it can improve your relationship with them.  There is no shame in seeking help from a counselor or other expert if you need it, though. “Good boys and girls tell the truth.”  You may have heard this said to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Берите на себя ответственность. Контролируйте свои эмоции. Будьте честным человеком, который вызывает доверие. Будьте готовы оступаться и учиться на своих ошибках. Учитесь решать проблемы самостоятельно. Знайте, когда нужно обратиться за помощью.


It is great to incorporate their interests into math problems. For example, if your daughter loves horses, use toy horses to demonstrate math facts. If possible, try to find a horse workbook. This may peak interest regarding the work that needs to be completed. Although they may seem detached sometimes, autistic children are eager learners. Give them constant reassurance—this is very essential when learning to keep them motivated. It will also keep them happier and associate learning time with positivity. Instead of dreading it, they may recognize it as a time they get positive attention. In terms of language, if your child or student has low verbal skills do not use responses that call for a 'yes' or a 'no'. The confusion associated with the language barrier may interfere with learning math concepts. Using multiple-choice based questions makes this barrier a bit easier to handle. Having children replicate your actions is highly successful. For example, you collect four blocks, then they collect four blocks. Show them how you're left with three books, once one is put somewhere else. In essence, you are training the child to mirror you. She'll slowly see the conclusions of your actions and be able to draw conclusions herself when you're not around. Be conscious of their skill level and go from there. Your child may not be at their appropriate grade level, so focus on their skill level instead. Certain areas of math may come easier to them than others. This means that you may need to approach certain math topics at a different skill level than the next.  Just because a child is developmentally behind in terms of speaking does not mean they will be behind in math. Sometimes, disinterest indicates that the work is not challenging enough. If this happens, try giving them harder work, or leaving a more difficult workbook out and seeing if they interact with it. Autistic children struggle with remembering sequences. If the child is able to read, write each instruction down. If the child struggles responding to the...

It is important not to overdo this treatment or you hair could start looking greasy. Some think that coconut oil can help protect the proteins in your hair from the natural wear and tear it goes through day-to-day, such as being exposed to the sun and wind.  Warm up the coconut oil in a pan or the microwave just enough for it to melt. Do not try to apply hot coconut oil to your hair. Keep in mind that the coconut oil will become solid again once it cools, so use this treatment right away. Aloe vera may help your hair to grow faster and look more radiant. To make the mask, you’ll need to mix 1 ripe avocado, 1 tablespoon of linen oil, 1 tablespoon of warm honey, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel, and 2 egg yolks. Massage this concoction into the roots of your hair and along the length of it as well. Wrap a warm towel around your hair for about half an hour, and then shampoo and condition as you normally would. . Massaging your scalp may help to release natural oils and this could lead to hair that is silky and smooth. Use your fingertips to massage your scalp all over. Use small circular motions to perform the massage. Repeat this treatment once daily.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте кокосовое масло  в аэрозольной упаковке. Сделайте маску для волос на основе алоэ вера. Используйте яблочный уксус.


It is important to clean the glass before removing any water. Use an aquarium sponge or clean soap-free cloth to remove algae and grime. Some fish owners leave algae, as it is preferable to green water and provides food for many fish. Still, it is best to remove some algae. By using the current tank water, you will cause less environmental stress on the fish. Make sure your temporary container is clean and has no soapy residue. If you are unsure of its cleanliness status, clean it with an aquarium-safe glass cleaner or a vinegar-based solution. . Be gentle and mindful. You may want to use two nets. Use one net to herd the fish into the other net. Put your fish in the temporary container with the original tank water. Never put them in tap water. Do not allow the fish to jump from the temporary tank. Put a cover on the tank. ). While you do not need to remove decorative items for every water change, remove them for cleanings. Put them on a towel, and rinse them with clean, room temperature water. You may use an algae pad or new toothbrush as well. Do not use detergent or soap to wash them. The fish will die from the toxicity of soap. If algae overwhelms your decorations, consider changing your feeding or maintenance routines. Place the bucket for catching the old water below the level of the fish tank. If possible, set the bucket on the floor or on a chair. Stability is important as is close proximity to the tank. It is best to buy a new bucket to use only for cleaning your fish tank. Residue from soaps or detergents can harm your fish. Remove fifty percent of the water at a time. An appropriate siphon is a small 3/8" hose that is four to five feet long. Slowly lower the complete siphon into the aquarium. Ensure that all the air is out of the tube. Plug one end of the tube with your finger and lift that end from the tank. Keep the other end in the water. Lower the removed end towards the bucket while keeping your finger in place. When you remove your finger, the water should flow into the bucket. Slowly...

It is important to consider whether or not you live somewhere that could potentially face a tsunami. It is likely that you are at some risk if:  Your home, school, or workplace is in a coastal region, near the sea. The elevation of your home, school or workplace is at sea level or fairly low and on flat or only slightly undulating land. If you don't know the elevation level of your home, school or workplace, find out. Some local authorities use elevation as a warning indicator. There are warning signs indicating that your area is prone to tsunamis. Your local authorities have issued information about the potential for tsunamis. Natural sea barriers such as levees of dunes have been removed for development. Do some library research or ask at the local government office. FEMA has a website enabling online flood risk searches. Most tsunamis happen in what's called the "Ring of Fire," an area in the Pacific Ocean known for its geologic activity. Chile, the western United States, Japan, and the Philippines are especially vulnerable. If a tsunami (or another natural disaster) hits, chances are you'll need a few survival items, and you'll need them fast. It can be helpful to have both a safety and survival pack already assembled:   Make a safety pack. Food, water, and a first aid kit are among the basics required. Keep the safety pack somewhere obvious, well known to everyone in the building and easy to grab in an emergency. It can also help to leave a raincoat or other coat for each person near the safety pack.  Make a personal survival pack for each person in the family, and a family survival pack with common items for everyone. Include a supply of necessary medications for each member of the family. Don't forget survival items for your pets. An evacuation plan must be prepared in advance to be of use. In developing one, consider your family, your workplace, your school, and your wider community. If necessary, begin to develop a community-wide evacuation plan if nothing is being done in your community. Take the...

It is important to get regular dental cleanings as you age. Not only will it keep your teeth nice and healthy, it will allow your dentist to identify any problems that are emerging before they get too serious. As you age, the nerves in your teeth become less sensitive. This means that you may not be able to feel it when problems begin to emerge. This is why it is so important to have regular exams as you age. If you do think that you have a problem with your teeth, you should get it looked at as soon as possible. Even if you are scared of the potential pain of a dental visit or you have a limited budget and you are concerned about the cost of dental procedures, it is still a good idea to get your issue checked out.  Paying for small dental problems to be fixed will cost you less in the long run than paying for larger dental problems. However, there may be budget options that you can employ, such as paying in installments, using insurance, or going to a dental school for treatment. Having dental pain can also impact your ability to eat enough food. If you have dental pain and it is impacting your life in this way, you should get it treated right away. Talk to your dentist about options of protective treatments that could give your teeth extra protection from wear and tear. Two common treatments are fluoride varnish and fissure sealants.  Fluoride varnish is a treatment in which a strong fluoride is applied to the teeth. This application makes the enamel on the teeth stronger and less likely to decay. It can be applied every six months. A fissure sealant is a plastic or resin coating that is applied to the crevices of the teeth. This coating protects the teeth from bacteria and food that might get stuck in the crevices. This coating can last up to 10 years.

TL;DR in Russian:

Раз в полгода проходите профессиональную чистку зубов. Сходите на прием к стоматологу, если у вас возникнут проблемы с зубами. Обсудите со стоматологом методы по защите ваших зубов.


It is important to know as much as you can about the topic you'll be speaking on. If you aren't already well-versed in the subject (e.g. because it has been assigned to you), do some research and learn as much as you can.  Especially if your topic is a controversial one, it's a good idea to know the arguments on all sides of the issue. Whatever argument you are making, you'll be more persuasive if you can address the views of the opposing side. Spend some time reading books or articles about your topic. You can go to the library and ask a librarian for help finding books, or just go online and find some articles. Make sure to use reliable sources, like major news organizations, or academic books or articles. Opinion-oriented sources, like editorials, talk radio, or partisan cable news, can be valuable for finding out what other people think about your topic. But, don't rely on them as your only source of information. They can be very biased. If you use them at all, make sure to read a variety of viewpoints on the matter, not just one side. It's important to understand exactly what it is you are trying to achieve with your speech. This way, you can tailor your content to fit your goals. For example, if your topic is recycling, it's important to know a lot about recycling. But, your speech will need to reflect exactly what you hope the audience will do. Are you trying to get people to vote in favor of a citywide recycling program? Or are you trying to convince them to sort out their glass and cans and put them in a separate bin? These will be different speeches, so having the goal spelled out early will help you craft your message. It is also important to understand your audience and their views and knowledge about the topic. This will also influence the content of your speech.  An audience that knows little about your topic will need more background information and simpler language. An audience made up of experts on the topic would likely find such a simple speech boring.  Likewise, an audience that already...
