Don't use your intimate relationship as a weapon in arguments and don't ever actually promise sex and then not deliver. This is cruel. It would be cruel if he did it to you and it's cruel if you do it to him. This also doesn't work in your favor, since it teaches him to associate sex with negative emotions and disappointment, which will really hurt your relationship long-term. The major complaint that guys have about women is the classic "dead fish". Get yourself moving when you're being intimate. Guys need less work, but that doesn't mean they need no work. Keep your hands and legs moving, caressing him, when you're together and occasionally take some initiative and take control of the situation. You'll blow his mind. Take off all the makeup and go easy on the hairspray. Guys are attracted to your softness and they'll be much more turned on if they can get their fingers through you hair or kiss your cheek without getting a mouthful of powder. Gross! Ramp up the softness even further by shaving and moisturizing. We recommend a long-term Bag Balm regimen. Guys watch porn. Almost all of them. And they think about sex a lot. This is just a fact of life. Because they do this, they get ideas, fantasies of things that really turn them on. If you want to make your man a happy man, let him act out some of those fantasies every now and again. Wear a school uniform. Play doctor. Talk to him about what he fantasizes about and then make it a reality. He'll never know what hit him.  Just be sure that whatever fantasies you decide to play out, you're comfortable with what you're doing. Everyone should be happy! You can be nonjudgmental and still say no to a request. These things are not mutually exclusive. Waking up to your soft body and warm kisses can be a great way to surprise your man. You can do this on a weekend morning or be really spontaneous and do it in the middle of the night (when you know you can sleep in in the morning). He'll enjoy the spontaneity and the break from the norm.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не держите его в заложниках. Продолжайте двигаться. Будьте естественны. Разрешите ему опробовать свои фантазии. Разбудите его.


Don't wait for your parents to try to improve the relationship. If you want to improve your relationship with your parents, you should start right away and act first. Consider all your parents have done for you; all the ways that they have helped you; all the ways they have influenced how you think. You may find yourself feeling grateful for your parents and more willing to improve the relationship or compromise, or be more forgiving when your parents annoy you. Let your parents know that you are appreciative for all they have done for you. It can hurt to feel taken for granted, even for parents. Show your appreciation with your actions. Get them a nice gift or, if you live with your parents, do some extra housework without being asked. They will likely be happy with you for this. This is not to say that you should not care for and love your parents. But, if you are less emotionally attached to your parents, you may be less invested in arguments or disagreements with them. This way you can walk away from a situation more easily and not let it damage the relationship. You can separate yourself emotionally from your parents in two primary ways.  Focus less on seeking their approval. Be willing to define yourself and your self-worth through your own eyes. Acknowledge your past, then move on. Your relationship with your parents may have been rough before. Remember this and assess the role you have played in your relationship with your parents, but do not let it define your relationship going forward. Often, people do not get along because they fail to consider others’ perspectives. Once you can empathize with another’s position and see the reasons behind it, you will likely be more willing to compromise and improve the relationship. Accept that your parents are different. They grew up in a different generation with different social norms and rules of conduct, with different technologies and ways of thinking, with parents who treated them certain ways, that was probably much different that the ways of parenting...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните с себя. Будьте благодарны. Эмоционально дистанцируйтесь от родителей. Научитесь оценивать ситуацию с точки зрения родителей. Развивайте в себе самостоятельную личность. Думайте о родителях как о любых других взрослых людях.


Don’t be afraid to show your wackier side on Facebook. After all, the idea is to let people get to know you better and an easy way to do this is to express your thoughts and emotions in an honest way.  In fact, posts about personal journeys, stories, or just a funny thing that happened to you that day tend to get some of the highest likes and comments. Of course, keep in mind the too much information rule and try to share things you would want to tell a casual friend or the general public. Don’t overstep the comfort level of others, and if you do decide to TMI, be prepared to lose some Facebook friends! Just like in real life, making friends on Facebook is a two-way street. So don’t cultivate a news feed or a profile wall that is just about you. Pose a question to your friends in your status or ask your friends to share what they think or how they feel in a comment. When in doubt, ask a yes or no question to start a conversation and then respond promptly to keep the conversation with your friends going. Keep in mind that on Facebook, its about quality, not quantity. So keep your posts interesting by telling people when you’re having a bad day, wishing friends a happy birthday, and posting funny videos or images of your favorite internet cat. By keeping your Facebook presence interesting and full of different posts or shares, you will keep your friends engaged in what you have to say. Maybe you have your own clothing line or sell cat bowties on the side, but your friends on your personal Facebook page don’t necessary want to hear your latest business pitch. Save the business promos for your business page and don’t let it take over your personal page. Always keep your audience in mind before you post anything on Facebook. If the information seems better suited for your Facebook business page or as a private message to someone who has expressed interest in your business, put it where it belongs and don’t let it clutter your friends’ news feed. Constant, 24/7 status updates and posts can become annoying and will...

TL;DR in Russian:

Раскройте вашу личность и не бойтесь показаться смешным. Не стоит писать (на вашей стене или в новостном потоке) исключительно о себе. Думайте о качестве ваших постов, а не об их количестве. Не пытайтесь продать товар через вашу личную страницу на Facebook. Не обновляйте ваш статус и не размещайте посты слишком часто.


Don’t devote all of you energy to getting his attention. Step away from the phone and him for awhile and take some time for you.  Stop contacting him. Eventually, he will notice that you’ve been contacting him less. If this concerns him, he will step up to the plate and start pursuing you. If he isn’t bothered by your lack of attention, he might not be worth your time. Go on a trip without him. You don’t need your boyfriend’s permission (or company) to go on an adventure. Plan an adventure that doesn’t include him. You could plan a girl’s weekend or a family vacation. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a trip by yourself. You absence will capture his attention. If you prefer to spend your free time with others, turn to your friends and family members. Concentrate your energy on building a stronger relationship with these integral members of your support system. Instead of asking your boyfriend to hang out, ask your friends and family members to set aside some time for you.  Invite your friends over for a movie night. Go to the spa with your mom. Ask you siblings to cook dinner with you. Take a day trip with your bestie. Rent a cottage with your extended friend group. Host a DIY night Taking up a new activity is not only an ideal distraction, but it is also a great way to build confidence and gain clarity. New activities push us out of our comfort zones and force us to grow. Whether you choose to take up sewing or swing dancing, use this activity to remind yourself that you have value outside of your relationship.  Join a book club Learn a new language Join a yoga class Practice meditation every day Take on a new project at work.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проводите время по собственному усмотрению. Проводите время с друзьями и семьей. Найдите себе новое хобби.


Don’t let your efforts be wasted. Always remember to save your work by tapping on the Save icon. You can easily share your photo directly from Snapseed. You can share to your various social networks, such as Google+, Twitter, and Facebook. You can share your photo via e-mail or directly print from the app.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраните свою фотографию. Поделитесь фотографией.


Don’t let yourself blow up on the other person. The angrier you are, the harder it will be to walk away from the fight. Remember that you are in control. Try repeating a reassuring phrase in your head, like:  “I’m going to be okay." "This isn’t worth getting upset over.” "Their opinion is not important." Think about what you want to say. If you feel the urge to insult or attack them, take deep breaths from your diaphragm or slowly count to ten. The goal is to let your anger fade away so you can think rationally. Taking a moment to cool down will help you decide whether or not engaging them is really that important or necessary. You may decide that it's not worth it! Consider their point of view in the situation. Empathizing with them doesn’t mean you’re condoning their behavior, it’s just a way for you to get an idea of where they’re coming from. Once you understand their perspective, it will be easier let go of your anger and walk away from the fight.  For example, if you’re fighting with a coworker who has an important deadline coming up, think about how the stress of their situation might be affecting their behavior. If your significant other is mad because you’re going out with friends, consider why they're angry instead of calling them irrational. They may feel abandoned.

TL;DR in Russian:

Контролируйте свои эмоции. Остановитесь на минутку прежде, чем выступать против другого человека. Разделите чувства другого человека.


Don’t pack for worst-case scenarios. If they come up, and they inevitably will, buy your way out of them. You won’t need a poncho and a rain jacket. Just pick one and move on. You won't need to haul snorkeling gear around Europe. You won’t need that flare gun. They are a hassle in security anyway. Chuck it.  The “what if” game is dangerous to play when packing. Ask yourself: do I absolutely need this? If the answer is yes, then pack it. If the answer is maybe, leave it at home. The benefits of a light bag on your back far outweigh the drawbacks of not having something you "might" need. The only way to get by on a single carry on bag while you travel for a week, a month, or even a year, is to accept that you'll need to do laundry. You will have to pay your hotel to do your laundry, wash your clothes by hand in your bathtub, or go to a laundromat. Try to make the experience positive. If you go with the third option, think of the experience as a glimpse into the local culture. Take pride in washing your clothes in Lima, Peru or Moscow, Russia. How many people at home can say they've braved a Peruvian lavandería or a Russian laundromat.  Try to abide by the "trilogy travel law". Three pairs of socks. Three pairs of underwear. Wear one. Wash one. Dry one. This will free up space and works well if you're on the move frequently as most pieces will air dry in a day or so. Keep in mind, hair dryers can dry socks too. Limit the number of toiletries you bring and leave those that you don’t need at home. Toiletries take up space in your luggage and can really pack on the pounds. When packing light, consider using travel-sized moisturizers, deodorants, shampoo, and other  products that can be placed in your carry-on bag. You can also buy some make-up items, such as mascara and lipstick, in travel sizes. Remember that toiletry items may be available at your destination, especially if you are staying in a hotel or resort. Hotels provide shower items you may need. If your hotel doesn't have what you need, you can buy Dial...

TL;DR in Russian:

Берите с собой только самое необходимое. Будьте готовы стирать вещи. Подумайте, какие туалетные принадлежности вам нужны. Возьмите с собой кредитную карту и наличные деньги.


Don’t pick at or squeeze blackheads, whiteheads or any pimple. This increases the risk of scarring and infection. It can also cause the acne to spread. Makeup can worsen acne because it can clog pores. If you choose to wear makeup, make sure it is non-comedogenic. Also make sure to wash it off every night before going to bed. Excessive sweating can contribute to clogged pores and increased acne. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser after you exercise. Apply moisturizer to your skin afterwards. While your diet doesn’t directly cause acne, certain foods can, for some people, increase the risk for acne. Dairy products and diets high in processed sugars may increase inflammation and provide an environment where bacteria can flourish. Do not scrub or vigorously wash any of the affected areas. This can make acne and pimples worse by irritating your skin. These types of cleansers and soaps have no added benefit for improving your skin. In fact, they may irritate your skin even more. Adding extra oil to your skin will likely clog your pores and make your skin worse. Aim for oil-free products instead.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не вскрывайте угри. Наносите минимальное количество макияжа или вообще не используйте его. Умывайтесь после занятий спортом. Сократите потребление переработанного сахара и молочных продуктов. Не царапайте кожу. Не используйте абразивные и антибактериальные сорта мыла. Избегайте жирных и содержащих масло косметических средств.


Don’t start planning a proposal until both of you naturally imagine a future together. If you’re both thinking about the future in terms of “we,” then the time may be right for a proposal. However, if your still talk about the future only in “me” and “you” terms, you may want to wait for the relationship to develop further.  When you discuss important life decisions with future implications—buying a house, changing jobs, getting a pet, relocating, etc.—do you treat them as joint decisions that will affect both of you? For example: If you’re trading in your old car, do you naturally seek your partner’s input on what type of new car to get, even if it’s still your decision to make? You’ll be hard-pressed to find a relationship expert who recommends the “take a chance and hope they say “yes”” method of proposing. You’ll be less nervous and enjoy the experience more if you’re confident about their answer, and you’ll be sure that they’re saying “yes” because they truly want to—not out of surprise or a sense of guilt.  You probably don’t want to ask, “Hey, if I asked you to marry me, would you say “yes”?” Therefore, you’ll have to use your best judgment about the status of the relationship to determine when the time is right. Proposing marriage should feel like the natural culmination of one phase of your relationship, and the starting point for the transition into a new phase. Keep your priorities straight—your main goal is to ask this person to become your spouse, not to create the coolest proposal ever...right? If the idea of the spectacle is more exciting to you than the thought of actually proposing, you may want to consider whether you’re truly ready to take this giant step. Think of it this way: every proposal that ends with a “yes” becomes a great story to tell. The most spectacular proposal that ends with a “no” doesn’t make a great story—at least not for you! If you’re not sure they’d say “yes” if you asked them privately, don’t try to improve your odds by asking them with lots of people around. They may...

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените, как обсуждать совместное будущее (и стоит ли вообще это делать). Не торопитеь делать предложение, пока не будете уверены в ответе. Убедитесь, что вы больше взволнованы самим вопросом, нежели зрелищем. Не используйте в своих интересах общественную обстановку, чтобы оказать давление на партнера. Выберите место, которое является значимым для партнера.


Don’t stress about finding a location on a high street or in a designer fashion district. If you build a reputation, brides will travel to find the perfect dress and the perfect shopping experience. Rent will likely be cheaper in a secondary or less trendy location. But ensure the location is near other fairly reputable business, gets some foot traffic, and has parking available nearby.  Contrary to popular belief, having no competition in the area may not be a good thing. If there is more than one bridal shop in the vicinity, a bride may be more keen to come to the area and spend the day shopping for a dress in several different shops. Avoid a space with two floors as your rent will be high and you will need to hire more staff. Look for a premise with a five year lease and a three year break lease clause. This will give you time to establish your business and build up your reputation in the industry. After two years in business, you should have a good idea of how you are doing and if your business will be profitable enough to last for the next three years, or if you may need to break your lease in the next year. Once you have your location, decide how you are going to furnish and decorate it. You should have basic supplies and materials like clothing racks, display counters, and large dressing rooms with large mirrors. You may also want to include comfortable seating areas and strategic lighting.  Make the showroom inviting and intimate with plug in scents, low music on a sound system, and fresh flowers. Create a space where you can chat with clients and their families, and feel confident making a sale. You should also buy a computer with sales software, like a point of sales system (POS). This will make ringing in sales faster and easier, and ensure you can accept most major credit cards. To bring inventory into your shop, you will need to select suppliers. Avoid any designers that are already stocked by your competitors. Most designers will not want to supply you if they already have successful stock lists...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите подходящее месторасположение. Займитесь внутренним убранством. Закажите все необходимое. Наймите персонал. Рекламируйте магазин через социальные сети и рекламные кампании. Подготовьтесь к открытию.


Don’t try to ignore the question, change the subject, or ramble on without really saying anything. The interviewer is looking for something very specific in this question—namely, your self-awareness and capacity for self-improvement. It should never come as a surprise to be asked “What is your greatest weakness?”, and you should never respond like it’s a surprise. Enter every interview expecting to be asked this question—and practice your answer ahead of time! Twisting your answer in an attempt to make your weakness into a poorly-disguised strength will always fail. Saying “I care too much” or “I try too hard” can actually indicate a weakness, but phrasing them that way makes it seem like you lack self-awareness, humility, or both. Instead of trying to say that you have too much of a particular strength, describe an actual weakness that you are working on. For instance, instead of saying, “My greatest weakness is that I’m too much of a perfectionist," try something like, “I sometimes over-analyze my work products, which can cause me to fall behind in other tasks.” Don't try to blame it on your parents, or bad luck, or something else out of your control. Take ownership of the weakness, without delving into what factors have caused it. The interviewer isn't looking for a deep analysis of the roots of your weaknesses. Instead, they want to see that you're aware of your weaknesses and trying to address them. You’ve started your answer by identifying your weakness concisely and in a way that shows good self-awareness. Immediately follow up by explaining to the interviewer what you are doing to address this weakness. For example: “I sometimes over-analyze my work products, which can cause me to fall behind in other tasks. To avoid that, I set aside a specific amount of time for review. When that time is up, I move to the next task on my list of priorities.” You've now proven that you can not only identify your weaknesses, but develop useful methods to overcome them. After you answer the question, stop talking. Wait...

TL;DR in Russian:

Отвечайте четко и лаконично. Называйте реальные недостатки, а не чрезмерные достоинства. Не пытайтесь оправдать названные недостатки. Предоставьте доказательства работы над собой. Не пытайтесь повторить, перефразировать или отбросить свой ответ. Подготовьте несколько недостатков на случай дополнительных вопросов.


Don’t try to push your way back into his life right after he rejected you; try to wait until you are both more comfortable. This process may take weeks, or maybe even months, to gather your courage to talk to him again. But just try to be patient and give yourself the time you need to heal and move on.  You can tell when he starts being more comfortable by how he acts – if he starts treating you like he did before the rejection, then it is close to being back to normal. Some signs that it may be the right time to start trying to interact with him again include increased eye contact between the two of you, noticeably fewer awkward encounters, or if your mutual friends tell you that they think he will be receptive to it. Instead of sulking around like it’s the end of the world, spend more time with your friends. This is especially important if the guy who rejected you is part of your friend group. Hang out with your friends and show him that you aren’t just sitting around your house super depressed because of that happened. Have a party at your house and invite him. Or go with your friends to the movies, even when you know he’ll be there. Show him that you are a fun person to be around. Starting conversations with someone who rejected you can seem difficult at first. But you’ll quickly get over the awkwardness after a little initial effort. Try to talk to him like you used to before he rejected you. If you struggle with this, try asking him questions about his life. This is a good way to get him to open up and for you to both move past what happened.  Try asking questions like, “How did you do on the Math test?” or “Did your sister come home to visit this weekend?” or “What did you do this weekend?” Really, just ask anything to get him talking. If you are friends with the guy or became friends with him, avoid bringing up the rejection. It only makes things a bit uncomfortable and you might regret it. It just makes him feel bad that he had to reject you, for whatever reason. And it may seem like you cannot let...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дождитесь подходящего момента для разговора. Используйте своих друзей в качестве буферной зоны. Общайтесь с ним. Постарайтесь быть друзьями.


Don’t use distilled or previously boiled water as it may negatively affect the taste of your tea. Instead, start with fresh, cool water from the tap. Use an electric kettle, stovetop kettle, or a saucepan to warm up the water. If your local water is especially hard (i.e. high in mineral content), consider using bottled water for a more pleasant taste. Since tea leaves come in different shapes and sizes, it’s best to measure out your tea by weight (i.e. grams) rather than by volume. But if you do measure by volume, start with roughly 1 teaspoon for smaller leaves and about 1 tablespoon for larger leaves. Spoon out your desired amount of tea into a tea strainer or teapot, depending on how you plan to steep it.  A teacup holds about 6  fl oz (180 mL) of water, but since most coffee mugs hold about 10 to 12  fl oz (300 to 350 mL) of water, you may need to double the amount of loose leaf tea you use in a larger mug. The amount of tea you decide to use is completely a matter of taste. Steep more or less to see which flavor you prefer.

TL;DR in Russian:

Налейте свежую холодную воду в небольшую кастрюлю или чайник. Отмерьте листья чая из расчета 2–3 грамма на каждые 180 миллилитров воды.


Don’t use soap in the water since it may have a negative effect on the concrete and the overall painting process. Scrub the statue until you get the large areas as clean as you’d like them. Use a toothbrush to scrub the smaller nooks and crannies in the statue. It should take a few minutes to dry, depending on how warm the air is. Air drying the statue will kill any moss that’s left behind. Concrete statues look more pristine when they’ve been dried in the sun and when they don’t have any moss on their surfaces. Don’t leave concrete statuary to dry outside in the winter, because moisture will collect in its pores, causing it to expand and eventually crack. Choose a putty that is the same color as the statue, or close enough. So, if the statue is white or gray use silver or gray putty. Break off a couple pieces of epoxy putty or however many you need to fill in each crack. Smooth it over using a wet spatula or a knife and let the putty dry for 3 to 4 hours.   You can find epoxy putty in craft stores. Wear gloves when handling epoxy putty to protect your skin from irritation. Use a blow dryer to set the putty quickly. You can use epoxy putty to replace missing pieces from a concrete statue, such as toes. The putty becomes hard as a rock once it’s dried, so no one will know a toe was ever missing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поместите статую в ведро с чистой водой и очистите большой щеткой. Достаньте статую из ведра и высушите на солнце. Заделайте трещины эпоксидной шпаклевкой.


Don’t wait for them to upset you before discussing their behavior. When your teen does something that makes you proud or makes your life easier — cleaning up the dishes without being asked, sticking up for a bullied classmate, etc. — be quicker with praise than you are with punishment when they disappoint you.  A heartfelt “thank you” with a hug and a kiss will make your teenager want to continue acting in ways that make them feel especially loved and appreciated. Sometimes, if your teenager is especially good about reacting well in a stressful situation or goes a long time without talking back, you might want to give them a special reward. Examples of positive rewards might include buying them something they want (a video game, for example), enrolling them in lessons they want (tennis, guitar, etc.), taking them on an outing (a sporting event), or allowing an outing they would not normally be allowed to participate in (going to a concert with friends). The research on bribing children for good behavior is a mixed bag: some argue that it’s a good way to develop positive habits, while others say that it results in children who will behave properly only when promised a reward. Bribery can work well, but only if you put a lot of thought into the message you’re sending your child.  Don’t frame it as a bribe. For example, you might give your child a regular allowance that is withheld if they speak to you disrespectfully. That way, they don’t see it as a bribe for good behavior, but as a repercussion of bad behavior. Instead of training them to see aberrant good behavior as something that is rewarded from time to time, they’ll see aberrant bad behavior as something that is punished. Your teenager’s problems might seem trivial in comparison to adult ones, but your child will be less combative with you if you demonstrate to them that you care about the things that upset them. Find ways to connect with your teenager about normal adolescent problems:  "I remember how hard it was to stay awake in school when I was you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поощряйте хорошее поведение. Подкупите хорошее поведение подростка, но сделайте это с умом. Станьте хорошим слушателем. Будьте примером для подражания. Ешьте за столом все вместе.

Double-click the Notepad++ app icon, which resembles a white pad with a green frog on it. You'll usually see some developer notes here, so just highlight and delete them. This tab is at the top of the Notepad++ window. Clicking it prompts a drop-down menu. It's in the Settings drop-down menu. Doing so opens the Preferences window. Look over the settings in the middle of the window, or click a tab on the left side of the Preferences window to change the category of settings that you're viewing. You can change these settings to your liking, but be careful not to change anything that you don't understand. It's at the bottom of the Preferences window. Doing so saves any changes and closes the window. Near the top of the Notepad++ window, you'll see a row of colored buttons. Hovering your mouse over each of the buttons will show you what each button does. For example, the purple floppy disk-shaped icon in the upper-left side of the window saves your progress on a project when clicked. This article covers examples for C++, Batch, and HTML coding, but you can use almost any language that you want to with Notepad++. Once you have a language picked out, you can proceed with actually using Notepad++ to create a program.

Double-tapping the jump button is almost always the quickest way to stop flying in Creative mode. However, if you don't want to do this for some reason, there are a few other ways to get out of the air. One is to use the sneak button. This will cause you to slowly sink, rather than plummeting to the ground. When you hit the ground, you will start sneaking (walking slowly) as normal.  On the computer version of Minecraft, the sneak button will be left shift by default. Other versions of the game have different controls. A few examples are as follows:  Minecraft for Xbox 360/One: Push in the right control stick Xperia PLAY: Left touch pad It is impossible to take damage in Creative mode, but you can still die with the "/kill" console command. When you respawn, you should be on the ground. To use this command, open the console (T key by default on the computer version). Type in "/kill" and hit enter. You should die immediately. You can also use the console to teleport yourself to a specific in-game location. If you choose a location on the ground (or beneath it), you will stop flying.  To use this command, open the console and type in "/tp". Next, enter your X/Y/Z coordinates separated by spaces. X and Z are your horizontal coordinates in the game world, while Y is your height. Y has a minimum value of 0 (Y = 0 is the absolute bottom of the game world). If you put a tilde (~) before any of the coordinates, you will be teleported to the coordinate relative to your current position. You can use negative y values with the tilde notation. For example, if you enter "/tp -100 30 500" into the console, you will be teleported to the location -100/500 at a height of 30. However, if you enter "/tp -100 ~30 500" into the console, you will be teleported to the location -100/500 30 blocks above your current height Since flying isn't allowed in Survival mode, switching out of Creative will get you out of the air. Keep in mind that you can be damaged in Survival mode. This include fall damage, so don't switch game modes if...

Draculaura can't go outside in the sun, so she carries around an umbrella to shield herself from strong rays. Find a frilly black umbrella and use pink spray paint to add some bright pink stripes. Draculaura loves long, dangly earrings and gothic-looking necklaces. Check out local thrift stores for some interesting ideas! Draculaura has the most unique accent in school, and if you want to emulate her persona, you should get one, too. Watch videos of draculaura online to get a sense of how she talks. Make sure you practice at home before you try it out at school. Make sure it's a Romanian accent and not a Moldovan accent. Although Romanian is spoken in Moldova, the dialects are distinct. Draculaura is known for her bubbly, sweet, charming personality. She's always smiling and laughing, and she's very nice to her friends. Draculaura's most fun accessory is probably her pet bat, Count Fabulous. She dresses him up in a big pink bow and cute pink outfits to offset his black fur.

TL;DR in Russian:

Черно-розовый зонт. Носите стильные украшения. Практикуйте свой Трансильванский акцент. Будьте дружелюбной и улыбчивой. Заведите себе маленькую игрушечную летучую мышь.


Draculaura wears a lot of gothic black - she is Dracula's daughter, after all - but she loves to accent it with hints of bright pink. Her clothes area always striking, but never severe, and they always have an element of playfulness.  Go for black tights and long-sleeved shirts with a hot pink vest or skirt. Mix it up with a little purple and other shades of red and pink, but avoid blue, yellow, and other colors of the rainbow. Draculaura's tutu is her signature piece, and for good reason - it's adorable. Get a tutu with plenty of bounce, preferably with lace on the underside. Wear it with striped or solid black tights. Draculaura is almost 1,600 years old, so her taste in clothing is, shall we say, classic. She loves old-fashioned style elements like lacy skirts, button down ruffled blouses, high-collared shirts, and fishnets. Of course, she modernizes her style by adding sparkles, high heels, and plenty of magenta. Draculaura has high-heeled boots with laces running all the way up to the knees. Hers are hot pink, but you may have trouble finding them in stores. Wear black lace-up boots or buy a can of spray paint and add some hot pink flair.

TL;DR in Russian:

Черный и розовый. Носите балетную пачку. Присмотритесь к винтажному готическому стилю в одежде. Носите высокие сапоги а каблуках.


Drag your cursor from the top left heading to the bottom right corner of the data.

Dramatic mood swings may be an indication that counseling is useful for your mental health or the presence of a mental illness. Beyond normal moodiness during puberty, pregnancy, menopause or other stressful life events, serious mood swings can be an indication of a larger problem. Mood swings are excessive or abrupt changes in your frame of mind or emotional status. For example, you may shift from euphoria to extreme sadness abruptly and often with no environmental trigger. These can indicative of mental health issues like bi-polar or a personality disorder. If you notice yourself or a friend experiencing persistent, worsening, mood swings, you should seek out mental health help. If you or anyone you know is thinking about suicide, you should seek professional help immediately. Whether you’re thinking about taking your own life, or suspect a friend, it’s important to recognize this and seek help.    Suicidal behavior and tendencies can vary from individual to individual. Some telltale signs include: talking about suicide, seeking out means of self-harm (such as pills or a gun), withdrawing from all social contact, rapid personality changes or engaging in risky, self-destructive behavior. There’s help. Suicidal thoughts can be scary and even embarrassing but no one needs to face it alone. You should reach out to a close friend or loved one and make an appointment with a counselor. If these aren’t options, call a suicide prevention hotline like 800-273-TALK. Although suicide is an extreme version of self-harm, other forms can be an indication of emotional pain and distress that could benefit from a professional. Self-harm can include cutting one’s skin, burning one’s self or even sticking objects in your skin. If you notice a friend who may be doing these, or if you are yourself, there are safer long-term ways to deal with stresses that cause self-harm. Addiction and mental health have strong links and individuals often self-medicate. If you or a friend increasingly find drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на резкие перепады настроения. Если у вас возникают мысли о самоубийстве, как можно скорее обратитесь к специалисту. Подумайте, склонны ли вы причинять себе физический вред. Обратитесь за помощью, если у вас есть зависимость от стимулирующих веществ.


Draw a box and divide it into four smaller squares. Leave room above the box and to its left, so you can label it.  Review the background information below if you have trouble understanding any of the steps that follow. Each Punnett square describes how variations of a gene (alleles) could be inherited if two organisms sexually reproduce. Choose a letter to represent the alleles. Write the dominant allele with any capital letter, and the recessive allele with the same letter in lowercase. It doesn't matter which letter you choose.  For example, call the dominant gene for black fur "F", and the recessive gene for yellow fur "f". If you don't know which gene is dominant, use different letters for the two alleles. Next, we need to know the genotype each parent has for that trait. Each parent has two alleles (sometimes the same one) for the trait, just like every sexual organism, so their genotype will be two letters long. Sometimes, you'll already know exactly what this genotype is. Other times, you'll have to work it out from other information:  "Heterozygous" means it has two different alleles (Ff).  "Homozygous dominant" means it has two copies of the dominant allele (FF). "Homozygous recessive" means it has two copies of the recessive allele (ff). Any parent that shows the recessive trait (has yellow fur) belongs to this category. Pick one parent – traditionally the female (mother), but either will work. Label the first row of the grid with one of that parent's allele. Label the second row of the grid with the second allele. For example, the female bear is heterozygous for fur color (Ff). Write an F to the left of the first row, and an f to the left of the second row. Write the second parent's genotype for the same trait as labels for the columns. This is typically the male's, or father's. For example, the male bear is homozygous recessive (ff). Write an f above each of the two columns. The rest of the Punnett square is easy. Start in the first box. Look at the letter to its left, and the letter above it....

TL;DR in Russian:

Начертите таблицу 2 x 2. Обозначьте рассматриваемые аллели. Проверьте генотипы родителей. Пометьте строки генотипом одного из родителей. Подпишите столбцы таблицы генотипом второго родителя.

Draw a line all the way around the shape of the blade. Mark the hole in the center. You may want to use a vice to secure the propeller while you work. If you don't have one you can tie down one side of the propeller to the table while you work on the other end to keep it secure. Mark the hole from you design cutout, then drill it with a one inch drill bit. The hole should be at close to the center of the wood, but doesn't need to be exact. Cut the wood around the shape of the propeller profile. Use as saw and cut as close to the lines that were traced on the wood as possible. Use the blade angle that was determined from the prop calc and mark off the shape of the pitch on the wood. Mark the pitch angle on the edge of the block of wood that would make the tip of the propeller blade. Then draw a line along the length of the blade to mark the twist of the blade. Repeat at the opposite end of the prop blade. Use a saw to cut off the bulk of the excess wood first. Then, use a chisel or belt sander to work the wood into the correct shape. Continue sanding until the blade is smooth. Precision milling machines can take 60 passes to sand a propeller precisely, so be prepared to spend some hours getting your propellers as close to perfect as possible. Flip the block over and repeat so you are carving off the excess wood on the bottom in the opposite corner. Be sure your blades are both curved in the same direction. Repeat carving the corners in a similar fashion for the other blade. Try to keep the propeller blades as smooth as possible. Go over the wood with a sander to get a nice flat surface on your blade. Put a straight bar through the center hole of the propeller and see if the wings will balance evenly at each end. If the prop stays straight with the blades perfectly horizontal, you have a well-balanced propeller. Enamel will help to seal in the propeller to protect it from weather and moisture. Spray a coat over the entire surface. Allow 24 hours to dry. If desired you can repeat and add a second coat. You can...

Draw attention away from your hair by making your face look more arresting. Do a bold, smoky eye, or wear a bright lipstick. (Remember, though: choose either a bold lip or a bold eye - doing both is too much). Extra-girly makeup can help you feel feminine and attractive while your hair is transitioning.  You don't have to do everything: lips, blush, eyes, etc. For example, you can focus on your eyes, and just wear simple lip gloss over your lips. If you don't like wearing makeup but still want to be girly, try jewelry instead, such as a chunky bracelet or statement necklace. Undoubtedly you already own eye-catching and attractive clothing, so really try to “wow” with your clothing while your haircut remains in the awkward stage. When shopping look for bright colors and provocative patterns; nothing distracts from a poor hair-do like an outfit that works. Non-hair accessories are desirable here as well. Necklaces and earrings especially (being so close to your head) are excellent style tools to draw the eye away from your hair. Not only can these add that final touch to your outfit, but they can help keep your hair out of your face. Whatever you choose, however, make sure that it goes with your outfit! Here are some ideas to get you started:  Slick your hair back and pop on a headband. Create a deep side part, then pin the thinner side back with a colorful hair clip. Wear something over your hair, such as a head, scarf, or bandana. Having a mix of colors or high/lowlights will draw attention to the ways in which your growing cut appears awkward. Unfortunately different colors will highlight the ways in which your layers might be growing lopsided, or make those runaway strands more visible. Having your hair all one color serves to disguise these potential flaws.  If you already have highlights, consider dyeing your hair back to its natural color. This will be kinder to your hair than using bleach. If you have lowlights, you can try bleaching them out, or dyeing your hair to match them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспользуйтесь косметикой. Обновите свой гардероб. Украшения для волос. Не красьте волосы в разные цвета.


Drawing your ideal man is a lot easier than finding him, but searching in the right places will put you on the right track. Odds are there are eligible bachelors hanging out in the same places you like to hang out.  Look at the list of desired personality traits you created and identify the hobbies you want your partner to share. For example, if you're an athletic person and you want your man to go on ten-mile runs with you every weekend, spend some extra time scouting at your gym or even your local sporting goods store. If it's sharing beliefs that is most important to you, look for potential partners in specific communities such as religious/spiritual groups or at political meetings. Being set up with someone seems daunting to most, but sometimes your friends really do know what's best for you.  Talk to your friends and let them know what you're looking for. Chances are they just might know someone that fits your description. Don't feel obligated to say "yes" if your friends want to set you up with someone you're really not interested in dating, even if you asked for their help. While it can seem creepy to people who grew up without the internet involved in every aspect of their life, internet dating has become a common place to find potential mates.  Set up a profile on a dating website such as match.com or eHarmony.com and browse around to see if you find any guys that share your interests. It might not be the old-fashioned way of doing things, but it does allow you to clearly articulate what you're looking for in a guy. Hire a matchmaker to set you up. If you're really having trouble finding Mr. Right and have the funds, hire a love professional to find potential matches for you. After all, a matchmaker has a very specific job, and s/he might just find something that you're missing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте глаза на то, что находится вокруг вас. Рассмотрите свидания вслепую. Посмотрите в интернете сайты знакомств и службы поиска пар.


Dreams are a very personal experience, and a lot of the necessary research is going to have to be done by you alone. By recording a dream journal, you'll be able to look back in weeks and months of past dreams and remember them more clearly. More importantly, by getting into a regular habit of writing down your dreams, you're training your mind to better recall your dreaming.  Writing your dream interpretation can happen in the morning once you write down the dream, or later on once you've had some time to collect your thoughts. It's important to do this as soon as possible after you wake up. The longer you go without it, the more likely you are to forget the dream. This is why it's recommended to keep a notepad next to your bed for this purpose. When you first wake up in the morning, you should try to get into the habit of making your first act trying to remember what it was you dreamt about. Although dreaming may not be the first thing that's normally on your mind when you first wake up in the morning, reminding yourself every morning to do this will eventually catch on. Even if you're not able to catch all of the dream's events at once, getting the basic idea of it remembered at the start of your day will make it possible to remember smaller details throughout the rest of your day. Once you've made a log citing the details and memories of a given dream, it may help to analyze it and give an interpretation. Dreams often have some bearing on feelings you have toward you waking life. It can be very therapeutic to look at these dreams and try to determine what you felt and why you felt it. There are a lot of dream journals and similar outlets that offer concrete explanations for different images and icons in dreaming. Much of this is based in Freudian pseudoscience, and should be taken with a grain of salt. In matter of fact, you should try to decide what certain symbols mean to your own psyche. A cat, for example, may be seen as cute by one person, and terrifying to another. Look at dream dictionaries if...

Drill three holes into the bottom and top half.  The holes should have a diameter of about 1/4 cm (1/8 inch) and be located equidistant from each other.  They should be about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) from the edge you cut. Remove the cap from the top and stick it into the bottom half upside down.  Rotate the two pieces so that the holes line up.  Pass a twist tie or some thread through the holes to tie the two pieces together. Since this beer trap is longer, it will require a bit more digging than the other sort of beer trap.  Use a hand trowel to dig out enough soil so that when the trap is placed in it, the top edge rises about one inch above the edge of the soil.  Maintenance and placement of this larger trap is the same as with the regular traps.  In other words, fill it halfway with beer, sprinkle some yeast in it for greater efficacy, empty it every two or three days, and place it three feet from other traps. This trap could prove more effective than a regular beer trap, since snails will be unable to leave once they slide in to get the beer. Adding a small fence around the garden can help them from eating your vegetables and herbs.

Drink a glass or two of water if your lips are dry, and whenever you need to while practicing. Apply lip balm and try again later if they're severely chapped. . Whistling involves the same mouth shape, and may be easier to learn. If you can't whistle, pucker your lips slightly with a gap between them for air to pass through. Pull your tongue back. Pull your lower jaw downward to stretch out your cheeks and give yourself more air to work with. You can't make the water drop sound while blowing or breathing through your nose. Get in the habit of breathing through your nose while practicing. " Practice this for at least five or ten minutes. Say the word "hoink" repeatedly, then repeat that same mouth motion without vocalizing or grunting. Move your jaw and Adam's apple quickly upward as you do this, and move your tongue up and forward.  You should feel a short flow of air leave your mouth while you say this, even though you aren't exhaling. If you know Russian, a certain vulgar three-letter word beginning with Х works even better. Repeat the "hoink" mouth movement. Right before you finish the tongue movement, tap the outside of your cheek with your finger. Flicking your cheek will work instead, and may help get a louder sound when you're first practicing, but you're striking too hard if you give yourself a red, stinging cheek.  Some people find it easier to tap with the eraser end of a pencil, instead of a finger. This step often takes 45 minutes of dedicated practice, and can take days if you practice only occasionally. You can also try tapping the hollow between your teeth, the back of your lower jaw, the side of your front eyetooth, and anywhere in between.

Drinking alcohol as a teenager can stunt your brain’s growth and development. Not only that, but studies show your binge drinking now might negatively impact the health and wellbeing of your future children. Stay away from alcohol until you’re 21 – not only to stay out of legal trouble, but so your brain can fully develop! NEVER drink and drive, or get in the car of someone who has been drinking. If you do drink alcohol, get a ride home with somebody sober, or call a sober friend or parent for a ride. Uber and Lyft are good options, too. Drugs negatively affect your body and your thinking. Marijuana impairs memory and concentration. Sedatives like Valium can make you stop breathing. Stimulants like cocaine put a strain on your heart and can make you paranoid. Opioids like heroin and prescription pain-killers are incredibly addicting and can cause you lifelong problems with substance abuse. Drugs might seem tempting, but they are not worth the legal, physical, and mental risks. Smoking is highly addicting so if you don’t smoke, don’t start. Smoking causes more preventable deaths than any other drug, and if you start now, you might find it extremely hard to quit. Smoking is bad for you even as a healthy teenager – it can increase your risk of asthma and lung infections, decrease your ability to work out, damage your teeth and give you foul breath, and make your clothes smell terrible. You may notice some benefits soon after you quit smoking, such as an improved sense of taste and smell and easier breathing after a few days. Today, everyone and everything is connected on the internet. While this can be great for keeping in touch with friends and learning about the world, it also comes with risks. Cyberbullying affects many young people. Remember also that anything you put on the internet stays there forever for anyone to see.  Never put private information online like your home address, social security number, or personal details. It’s easy for predators to take advantage of you when they know your personal...

Dropping a night feed does not mean cutting back on the amount of food you give your child. In fact, you may need to feed your baby more during the day to make up for the milk he or she is not getting at night.  Some babies resist daytime feedings as they grow older because of how active and stimulated they are during the day. Stopping to eat may seem unpleasant if your baby believes he or she is missing out on something. Work around this potential problem by taking scheduled breaks for daytime feedings. Move to a quiet room with no distractions. Distractions can include televisions, radios, computers, and noisy family members. Make sure your baby's stomach is filled before he or she goes to sleep. Consider adding an extra feeding to your evening schedule so that your child will stay full for a longer period of time into the night.  Feed your baby just before he or she goes to bed, then consider feeding your baby again just before you go to bed. If you feed your baby before you go to bed, this may mean you'll have to wake your child up. Even if he or she only eats a small amount during this time, that extra food might be enough to keep your baby full until morning. Don't allow your baby to fall asleep in the middle of a meal, regardless of whether that meal happens at night or in the middle of the day.  Babies can learn to associate feeding with sleeping if they regularly fall asleep before finishing a meal. A baby who associates the two actions can start depending on his or her feeding to fall asleep. You need to help your baby learn how to fall asleep without feeding. If you notice your baby falling asleep in the middle of a feeding, stop the feeding immediately and cuddle for a few minutes. Put your child to bed while he or she is still awake. For many babies, suckling is a way to comfort themselves. Your baby may feel the need to suckle even if he or she isn't hungry, which may prompt your child to cry for food even if it isn't needed.  This is why pacifiers can work well when you're trying to drop night...

Drugstore brands of hair dye are generally of a poorer quality than the ones you can get in a salon. Beauty supply shops allow you to buy professional-quality products and tools. Sally Beauty Supply is one of the most popular international beauty shops. Check to see if there's one — or one like it — in or near your city. Bleach powder comes in packets or tubs. If you plan on bleaching your hair more than once, a tub is usually cheaper in the long run. Cream developer reacts with the powder to bleach your hair. It comes in different volumes ranging from 10 to 40; the higher the volume, the quicker it will turn your hair blonde, but also the more damaging it will be.  Many stylists recommend using 10 to 20 volume. It will take longer for the mixture to lighten your hair, but it will also be much less damaging than using the higher volumes. If you have fine, fragile hair, use a 10-volume developer. For dark, coarse hair, a 30- or 40-volume developer might be necessary.  A 20-volume developer is your safest bet for effectiveness and gentleness, so if in doubt, choose that one! Toner is what will take your hair from yellow to white. Toners come in a variety of shades, including blue, silver and purple.  When choosing a toner, take your skin tone and hair color into consideration. If your hair is too golden, you’ll want a toner shade that’s opposite gold on the color wheel such as a blue or violet ash-based toner.  Some toners need to be mixed with developers before being applied to your hair, while others come ready to apply. Both can be equally effective. Red gold correctors often come in little packages that you can add to your bleaching mixture to help reduce brassiness; they aren’t absolutely necessary for getting white hair, but a lot of people swear by them.  Whether you need a red gold corrector will really depend on your hair. People with darker hair, or hair that contains red, orange, or pink tones may find red gold correctors particularly useful in getting their hair extra white. Unless you already have...

Dry gangrene may be the result of the following factors:   Diabetes — This condition impedes blood flow, especially in the lower extremities, and can lead to a non-healing wound.   Vascular problems — Vascular problems, such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), can reduce blood supply in the body. PAD, for example, occurs when the arteries of the heart or body narrow mainly due to atherosclerosis, which hardens the arteries and blood vessels.   Vasculitis — Vasculitis refers to a number of autoimmune conditions that cause the blood vessels to become inflamed, such as Raynaud's phenomenon. In this autoimmune disease, the blood vessels chiefly to the fingers and feet temporarily spasm (called a vasospasm), which in turn causes vasoconstriction, or a narrowing of the blood vessels. Triggers for Raynaud's include exposure to the cold and emotional stress.   Tobacco addiction — It can cause blockage of arteries and thus impair blood flow.  External injuries — Burns, accidents, wounds and surgeries can damage certain cells in the body which later on slows down blood supply. If the wounds are not treated appropriately and a major blood vessel is damaged or compromised, the vessel can no longer supply adequate blood to the surrounding tissues. This leads to inadequate oxygen supply to the affected body part and, as a result, the tissues surrounding it dies.  Frostbite — Exposure of extremities to very cold temperatures may block usual blood flow. In temperatures of freezing weather frostbite can occur in as little as 15 minutes. Frostbite principally affects the fingers and toes. For prevention, you can wear appropriately lined gloves and shoes to provide warmth and protection from moisture.  Infection — An untreated bacterial infection may consequently take over the affected tissue, resulting in its death and leading to gangrene. This is more common in wet gangrene. Gangrene may be classified into different categories, including:   Dry gangrene — This type is characterized by dry and withered skin with a brown to...

Ducks are highly social animals, and will become lonely, sad, and unhealthy if deprived of other ducks' company. Give your ducks plenty of time during the day to socialize, eat, and (if they're juveniles) play together. If you're acquiring ducks for the first time, never adopt just one. Always buy or adopt at least two ducks so they can keep one another company. If you're adopting the ducks as young ducklings, it will be challenging to identify the gender of the ducks. If you're hoping for a male and female pairing, you may be disappointed. While ducks do need water to drink and eat their food with, they also need a deeper body of water to groom themselves in. Ducks love to swim and it keeps them clean. If the ducks don't already have a small pond or lake within their enclosure, you can shepherd them to a nearby pond on your property.  You can also fill a bath with water for the ducks to swim in. Ducks will also groom themselves in available water in order to keep their feathers, bills, eyes, and other body parts clean. Consequently, the water set out needs to be deep enough for them to fully submerge themselves in. The pond or body of water should be at least 8 inches (20 cm) deep. While a small plastic “kiddie” pool will technically fulfill the ducks' needs, they will be able to exercise more if given a larger pool or actual pond to swim in. If you don't want them in your actual swimming pool, check out the wikiHow: How to Keep Ducks Out of a Pool. If you have a garden near your house, you can let your ducks freely roam through it. Ducks enjoy eating grass found in gardens, and will also root around in your mulch to find worms and insect larvae. This will supplement the ducks' diet, satisfy their natural curiosity, and provide them with entertainment. On the other hand, if you don't want ducks to get into your garden and eat greens and vegetables, you may need to erect a fence around the garden to keep inquisitive ducks out. Ducks are intelligent and naturally curious, and will be interested in playing with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ducks require a safe structure to live in. An enclosure or pen will keep them from wandering (or flying) away from your house and allow them a measure of safety. You can erect a suitable enclosure using chicken wire or another fencing material. If the ducks will be spending their days in this pen, it should provide 1.5 square meters (16 square feet) of space per duck.  Most commercially grown ducks are too heavy to fly far, and will stay near sources of food and water. To be on the safe side, however, be sure to put a layer of fencing material over the top of the duck pen, so that they don't fly away. Placing a layer of fencing material over the top of the pen will also keep birds of prey like hawks and eagles from entering the pen and taking away a duck. If you don't already have an erected enclosure, you should be able to find all of the necessary components (at minimum: chicken wire and fence posts) at your local hardware or home-supply store. In areas where predators like raccoons, skunks, and coyotes are common, the pen must be sturdy enough to keep them out. Raccoons can tear through flimsy material, so you need to use a strong, heavy gauge wire. These animals can also dig, so the wire should be buried at least 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) underground around the entire perimeter of the pen. This shed should be located inside of the pen or enclosure, and should be stable enough to provide ducks with protection from wind and inclement elements. Make sure that the shed has firm, stable walls which are opaque and can provide the ducks with shade on sunny days.  If the ducks will be sleeping in the shed, it should provide 0.5 square meters (5 square feet) of space per duck. Since ducks defecate frequently, the housing shed needs to be well ventilated. Good care is required in this area if you would like your ducks to remain healthy. Be sure to give them new hay or straw at least once a week. This material will serve as your ducks' bedding and also as a surface for them to walk on. You should be able to...

Duct tape comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns and can be ordered online or purchased from most craft or hardware stores. This method works especially well on messenger-style schoolbags since they provide a flat surface for easy application. Purchase different colored rolls of duct tape. Use scissors to cut strips that vary in length and/or thickness and simply stick to your bag. You can create a collage or geometric design.  Decorate a small section or cover your entire schoolbag. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips to create a checkerboard pattern, or alternate diagonal strips to make a chevron design. Cut-out shapes (triangles, circles, squares, etc.) by placing tape stick-side down on a self healing mat. Use a ruler and precision cutting tool, such as an exacto knife, to cut shapes. Gently lift off of mat using the tip of the blade and use your fingers to press evenly and firmly onto your schoolbag. You can use metallic (e.g. gold, silver, or copper) or colored glitter to add sparkly embellishments or designs to a plain schoolbag. You will need glitter (any color), a paintbrush, painter's tape, fabric glue, and newspaper. Use the painter's tape to tape-off the section of bag you want to add glitter to. This will help create clean, straight edges. Spread a thin, even layer of fabric glue over the taped-off area using the paintbrush. Pour glitter on glue and press gently so it adheres to the fabric. Shake-off excess glitter onto a newspaper for reuse. Add more glitter until you had a solid layer.  Let dry for several hours before removing tape. Glitter can get messy, so it might be better to do this outside or over a drop cloth or newspapers. This will make it easier to clean-up when you are done. If you need to wash your schoolbag, hand wash it separately in a sink and let air dry. Placing it in a washing machine may cause the glitter to fall off and stick to other clothes. You can make your own stencils or buy them from a craft store. Simply position the stencil in the desired location and...

Due to the lack of diphthongs in French, your tongue moves a lot less than it would if you were speaking English. Too much tongue movement will make your speech sound more heavily accented.  Try putting the tip of your tongue against the back of your lower front teeth as you speak. Open your mouth less, and let your lips and jaw do the work of pronouncing the words. Speaking in front of a mirror can help you get your mouth and tongue movements right. You might also try watching native French speakers and attempt to mimic their facial expressions and mouth movements. The letters eu, u, and r make sounds in French that are unlike anything you would say in English. Not being able to pronounce these letters correctly can ruin otherwise good pronunciation.  To get the u sound correct, make an eee sound, then round your lips as you would if you were making an ooo sound. Practice this until you can make the u sound without starting with the eee sound. The French r is pronounced from the back of your throat, similar to the ch in the Scottish word "loch." You can find French television shows streaming online that you can watch for free. Your favorite video-streaming service may also have French-language movies and television shows available. These shows can give you a better idea of how French people actually talk to each other. News programs, game shows, and reality shows give you the opportunity to see non-actors speaking. This can help you learn casual, informal conversation. Liaisons are part of the reason that French sounds as smooth and melodic as it does. Rather than harsh endings between words, most French words are blended together using liaisons. This means some letters that normally are silent are pronounced to smooth the transition.  For example, take the sentence vous êtes dans un grand avion. If you simply pronounced all the words individually, you'd end up with a sentence that sounded something like "voo ett dahn un grahn ahveeohn." While each word is pronounced correctly, that certainly doesn't sound...

Dull razors will force you to bear down harder to get a close shave. This can result in more nicks or cuts. New razors come pre-lubricated and will give you the best results. Select a razor with one or two blades max. More blades will pull hair and cut below the skin. This can lead to ingrown hairs or razor burn. A single-blade razor won't clog up as quickly as a razor with 2 or more blades.

During a panic attack, your body goes into a natural fight-or-flight response, just as if you were in a truly terrifying and dangerous situation, only no dangerous situation is actually occurring. Symptoms that are commonly experienced during a panic attack include:  Chest pain or discomfort Dizziness or faintness Fear of dying Fear of losing control or impending doom Feeling of choking Feeling of detachment Feeling of unreality Nausea or upset stomach Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or face Palpitations, fast heart rate, or pounding heart Sweating, chills, or hot flashes Trembling or shaking Most panic attacks cause rapid and shallow breathing which fuels the attack, causing the symptoms to linger. By controlling your breathing, you can help to return your heart rate to normal, lower your blood pressure, slow the sweating, and re-establish a feeling of being in control.  One method to slow your breathing is to take a deep breath and hold it for as long as you can. This balances levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide and reduces the feeling that you cannot breathe. After holding your breath, then begin deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in slowly and deeply, then exhale even more slowly. To practice diaphragmatic breathing, try sitting in a chair with 1 hand on your chest and the other a little below your rib cage. Sit comfortably with bent knees, and relaxed shoulders and neck.  Next breathe in slowly through your nose and let your stomach expand, keeping your upper chest as still as possible. Slowly exhale, tightening your stomach muscles, and keep your upper chest still. The hand on your stomach area should move out as you inhale, then back in as you exhale, with the hand on your upper chest remaining as still as possible.  Another method is the 5-2-5 method. Inhale with your diaphragm for 5 seconds. Hold your breath for 2 seconds. Then exhale for 5 more seconds. Repeat 5 times.  Breathing into a paper bag is not routinely recommended anymore. It may not be as beneficial as was believed in the...

During the first few weeks after delivery, you may experience the feelings of sadness, irritability, and anxiety characteristic of the “baby blues.” You may find yourself crying more than usual and having trouble sleeping. If you have these symptoms, know that they are normal, and they are frequently exacerbated by the exhaustion and stress that new mothers experience. They do not constitute postpartum depression, as long as they improve after 2-3 weeks. Normal “baby blues” typically begin to improve within a couple of weeks. If yours feelings are not improving by then, you may have postpartum depression. As a new mother, you will probably be very tired—your body is still recovering from pregnancy and childbirth, and your baby probably isn't sleeping well yet. If your fatigue is overwhelming, though, and does not seem to be alleviated by rest, that could be a sign of PPD. Hormonal changes, new responsibilities, and severe fatigue can all contribute to mood swings. If yours are severe, especially if they involve intense feelings of anger or sadness, you may need treatment for postpartum depression. If you don’t seem able to connect with your newborn after a few weeks, you may have postpartum depression, especially if this problem is combined with other symptoms. Women with postpartum depression often lose their appetites (or, in some cases, notice that they are eating more than usual). A change in your appetite does not always indicate PPD—hormonal changes may be to blame, and breastfeeding can also make you hungrier—but in combination with other symptoms, it could be a warning sign. If you find yourself losing interest in people or activities you usually like, you may have PPD. Postpartum depression often causes women to withdraw from friends and family and to lose interest in activities they used to enjoy.

During the first trimester, the fetus’ internal organs, such as the heart, are starting to develop.  Note that the fetus in this stage does not yet resemble a human being but more of a seed with facial features and a discernible tail ,which will later form the lower extremities.  Upon ultrasound, at 8 weeks of gestation, a gestational sac can be observed.  At the end of 12 weeks gestation, the sex of the baby should already noticeable. During this time, the baby will most likely grow from 1 centimeter (0.4 in) to 8 centimeters (3.1 in) in length. The weight should be between 400 mcg and 45 grams. During this time the fetal heartbeat should become audible with the use of a Doppler  (an instrument that can detect fetal heart sounds) but towards the end of the second trimester it can be heard using a stethoscope.  The sex can also be determined through ultrasound.  Other internal organs such as the liver and pancreas are fully functioning.  Other notable features of the fetus during this trimester are the presence of lanugo (downy hair at the back and extremities which help regulate heat upon birth), brown fat (for heat insulation) and vernix caseosa (a substance that regulates heat). The fetus has already established waking and sleeping patterns.  During the second trimester, the fetus should now be about 10 centimeters (3.9 in).  Towards the end of 24 weeks it should be approximately 36 centimeters (14.2 in).  The weight should be between 55 grams to 550 grams. In case a woman gives birth at only 24 weeks of gestation, the baby should be able to survive with constant monitoring and care under a neonatal intensive care unit. Because of the presence of lung surfactant, the lung alveoli can fully function.  Note that during the third trimester, the eyes of your baby should now be fully open.  The fetus should now look more like a baby. Fat deposits are present on the arms and legs.  It is best to start reading aloud and listening to classical music during this time because the fetus is now aware of sounds. ...

During the last stages of your pregnancy, a variety of exercises can be used to prevent back labor from occurring.  Try doing pelvic tilts. This is where you get on your hand and knees, curl up your back, and then straighten it out. It helps loosen ligaments and relieves back pain some experience during pregnancy. It can also help position the fetus to prevent back labor.  Invest in a birth ball and spend a little time each day sitting on the ball and doing light exercises with it. You can sit on the ball and rock your pelvis from side to side , rotate your hips from side to side, or lean over the ball in a kneeling position and rock your hips. Wait until you are at 35–36 weeks to try this. How you sit in the months leading up to labor can have an effect on the position of your baby. Try to sit in a position that prevents your knees from being lower than your hips and avoid sitting too deeply on couches and recliners. When labor begins, try move around as much as possible. This can keep the baby from getting into a position that would lead to back labor.  Try to avoid lying on your back too much during the course of your pregnancy. This can reduce your risk of back labor when you go into labor. During labor itself, try to sit up as much as possible. If you need to lie down, try to lie on your side.  Walk around the hospital during the early stages of labor and do some pelvic tilts.  Try sitting backward on a chair or toilet when you need to sit.

During these seasons, most specimens are dormant, which is ideal. When plants are removed from the soil while growing they enter a state of shock that decreases their chances of survival in a new home. On the other hand, dormant plants have more time to lay down new root systems, store nutrients, and prepare for growth season.  Different plants fare better during different time frames. For example, evergreen and pine trees do best in early fall, oak trees in early spring, maple trees in late fall, and fruit trees in early spring, right before growth season. If you succeed in removing the roots still covered with earth, the tree should survive even in the summer. Saplings with a base thickness within this range tend to be small enough that you won't have trouble digging up their root systems. You also need to make sure that it is a variety that can handle the stress of transplanting—sometimes this will just have to be a case of trial and error.  Good varieties to transplant include oak, birch, magnolia, dogwood, eucalyptus and tea tree. Limit yourself to trees with trunk diameters that are 2 inches (5.1 cm) or less for the best results. Anything bigger can be difficult, and is best transplanted by landscape contractors. Different trees thrive in specific plant hardiness zones. For example, Leyland Cypress thrives in zones 6 to 10, which corresponds to an extreme average minimum temperature range of −5 to 35 °F (−21 to 2 °C) on the zone map.  Hardiness zones are the regions in a country that are grouped together based off of similar climate conditions. Take a look at the worldwide USDA plant hardiness zones here: http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/ Always try to mirror the conditions of the native region as much as possible. Full sunlight is 6-8 hours of sunlight, either continuous or not. Partial sunlight is defined as 4 to 6 hours. While some plants can thrive in partial sunlight, others don't respond well to shade and require full sunlight.  Signs that your plant is getting too much sun include...

During your annual gynecological exam, your doctor will check your breasts for lumps or abnormalities. If she detects something irregular, she might recommend that you have a mammogram.  If you do not have health insurance or funds to visit a doctor, there are likely resources in your area to help you get preventative care. Planned Parenthood offers consultation services and can direct you to a mammography provider.  If you do not know where to look for help, contact your local Department of Health or call the national cancer line at 1-800-4-CANCER. They can refer you to appropriate help for your situation. You could be eligible for cost-free or inexpensive mammograms. See the official US government listing of low-income clinics: http://www.findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/Search_HCC.aspx. Once she turns 40, a woman should get a mammogram every two years until she is 74.The earlier you detect breast cancer, the easier it will be to survive. You may have heard that a mammogram is painful, but the pain is momentary and no worse than getting a shot. Plus, it can save your life. If you are at high risk, talk to your doctor about how often you should get a mammogram. If you have a high risk and are under 40 years of age, it is possible your doctor will recommend a mammogram already. Paying attention and knowing your breasts well is the best thing you can do to detect symptoms of breast cancer. If you have any concerns about what you find in your BSEs, see a doctor immediately. Keep your friends and family healthy by arranging a party every year that culminates in everyone getting a mammogram together. This way you can remove the fear from the experience and help each other remember. Consider saying: “I know a lot of women don't get the mammograms because they're scary and they can hurt a bit, but I'd love to find a way that we can make it fun. Plus, we'll get some great girl time!”

During your midnight shift, turn on as many lights as possible. Light sends signals to the brain telling it to be more alert. If the available light at your workplace isn't enough to keep you awake, purchase a small, portable light box that simulates natural light. Light boxes can be purchased in department stores or online. Bring a large bottle of water with you to work to drink throughout the night. Getting dehydrated during your shift will leave you feeling drained and lethargic. Eating small, healthy snacks through out the night (e.g., baby carrots or crackers and cheese) will keep your blood sugar from dipping and help you maintain energy. To avoid dozing off during your shift, stand up and start an activity that will keep you moving. This may include work-related tasks such as sorting supplies or inventory, organizing papers or files, or cleaning your work area. If you get a break during your shift, take the opportunity to stretch your legs by going for a short walk, taking the stairs up and down several floors, or doing simple yoga stretches.

Dye is translucent. It adds color to whatever color is already there. For example, if you tried to dye a pair of blue shoes red or pink, you'll end up with purple. You also cannot dye shoes a lighter color. You can, however, dye any color of shoe black. This will protect the rubber from picking up the dye. If you want to dye the laces as well, you will still want to take them out; you will dip them into the dye bath along with the shoes. This will help them dye more evenly. Make sure that the bucket is deep enough to fit your shoe. The salt and laundry detergent will help make the dye brighter. Each company may be a little different, so follow the directions on your bottle or packet. In general, liquid dyes do not need any preparation. If you are using powdered dye, you will need to dissolve it in 2 cups (475 milliliters) of hot water first. If your shoes float to the top, you will need to weigh them down with something heavy. You can use glass jars or bottles, or even sticks. If you don't do this, they will float to the top and your dye job will be uneven.  Some people find that soaking the shoes in warm water first helps the dye soak in better and more evenly.  Dye can get messy. Consider wearing some plastic gloves to protect your hands from getting stained. This will give the dye enough time to soak into the fabric. Use warm water first to set the dye, and then cold water to get rid of the excess dye. Be sure to get the inside of the shoes as well. This is to get rid of any last traces of dye. Remember to rinse the inside of the shoes as well. If you can, set them out in a sunny spot. This will help them dry faster. If you don't have any newspaper, you can use an old towel or even a paper bag instead. If any dye leaked onto the shoes, you can remove it using rubbing alcohol or a bleach pen. You can also try a magic eraser or a paste made from equal parts of baking soda, water, and vinegar. If you are using a bleach pen, leave the bleach on the rubber parts for 10 minutes, then wipe it off with a damp...
