If you have been separated with little or no contact for at least a year, there is a chance your spouse may have completed a divorce without your knowledge. She may have lied about not knowing your location and the court granted the divorce by default when you failed to respond. Each state has a vital statistics office where they record all marriages, births, deaths, and final divorces. Some states have searchable databases, others require that you request the information by mail. There may be a fee for this service. Start with the most likely states and work your way out.  Use your favorite search engine and search “STATE vital statistics”. For example, to find Ohio's website, search “Ohio vital statistics”. If there is a divorce record, it will include the county where it was granted and you can get a copy of the documents. If you discover a divorce has been filed, you can't ignore it. Divorce cases have tight deadlines and if you miss one, you could lose important rights. This is especially true if there is property or children involved.  Read the documents thoroughly. If you agree with the divorce and do not wish to contest it, contact your spouse or his attorney to finalize the agreements. If you want to contest, you should consult with a family law attorney as soon as possible. If you discover that a divorce has been granted, you need to get copies of the documents and decree as soon as possible and read them thoroughly.  If you agree with the divorce, or don't care, you can let it stand, even if your former spouse lied to get the divorce. If you do not agree, you can contact an attorney about modifying or overturning the divorce. Even if the appeal period has passed, if the divorce was gained through fraud, you may be able to vacate the judgment. It is not easy, but may be worth it, for example, if your spouse has considerable financial assets that you would have been entitled to share. One of the most common lies told in this type of divorce is your spouse saying she couldn't find you for service and...

If you have been together for a while, you probably had a few really great or memorable dates early on in your relationship. Your first date, for example, probably holds an important spot in your memories. Recreate those moments—go to the same restaurant, watch the same movie, or take a walk down the same street that you did on that memorable night. Reliving those moments with one another will remind you both of what brought and kept you together. You could also bring back things you used to do early on in the relationship. For example, if you used to call each other a certain pet name, or had an inside joke, bring those things back to keep that spark alive and feel closer to each other. As great as those old memories are, it’s still important to make new ones. Try new things together. Pick things that are new to both of you, so you will both be experiencing it for the first time together. For example, you might try a pottery class if neither of you has ever tried one before. It could be a fun, lighthearted way to enjoy time together and learn something new side-by-side. If classes aren’t really your thing, you could simply try a new cuisine at a new restaurant, or watch a movie neither of you has seen. Read a book together and discuss it every few chapters. Go to a concert for an artist neither of you has heard of before. It’s easy to get busy and feel too caught up in your own day-to-day activities to spend time with your partner. Make time each day, or at least every few days, to spend focusing on one another. This could be the time when you have important conversations, go on a date, or simply spend quiet time alone together. During this special time together, consider putting aside things like smartphones, tablets, and other electronics. Focus entirely on your partner rather than the distractions that come with the digital world. Having coffee in the morning, cooking a meal together, waking up with each other, or working on assignments for work or school with each other are all ways to be closer to each...

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспроизведите яркие свидания. Пробуйте вместе новые занятия. Каждый день находите время быть вместе. Занимайтесь вместе простыми, повседневными вещами. Найдите несколько интересных занятий для совместного времяпрепровождения. Время от времени удивляйте партнера.


If you have been working a lot, or have been very busy, set aside some time to pamper your heart by making plans with the people you love. Plan a day of activities, or simply decide to go see a movie with some friends. When you surround yourself with people you love, you may find that you are more relaxed and happy. Pampering yourself can also involve pampering your partner. Spend some time planning a getaway for you and your beloved. It doesn’t mean that you need to go far; simply scheduling a day trip could be a great way to pamper yourself. Consider booking a hotel for a night for a change of scenery, or driving to the beach or a lake. People are not the only creatures that can make you feel loved. Spend some quality time with your pet to pamper yourself emotionally. Go for a walk with your, curl up and watch a movie with your cat, or ride your horse on a wooded trail. If you don’t have a pet, consider volunteering at an animal shelter. You may just end up with a pet when the day is done. Catching up with a dear friend can also be a great way to pamper yourself emotionally. You could even plan a skype date with your friend, so that you could giggle together no matter where in the world the both of you are.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проведите время с людьми, которых вы любите. Спланируйте отдых со своим партнером. Поиграйте с любимым питомцем. Позвоните другу, с которым давно не общались.


If you have chronic gum boils, or gum boils that are cosmetically embarrassing, you may want to consider getting them surgically removed. This can greatly increase the chance of the boil not returning again. You’ll need to speak with a gum specialist, such as a periodontist, about this option to see what they recommend. Your dentist or gum specialist may recommend simply draining the boil instead of surgically removing it, depending on the location of the boil and how complicated it would be to remove it. In this case they will give you antibiotics to take for at least five days after draining. Many gum boils are caused by active gum disease or some other kind of periodontal disease that leads to periodontal abscesses. If this is the case for you, it may be important to get a deep cleaning from your dentist in order to remove any active bacteria from the inside of your mouth that could be contributing to the gum boil.  If this seems to help, you’ll want to be sure to continue with regular visits for cleanings to help keep your oral bacteria levels down and to maintain your overall oral health. Consider gum surgery if your periodontist decides it is the best way to prevent future infections or gum boils Some gum boils are caused by dental abscesses. In these cases, root canal therapy would be required to remove the bacteria and decayed enamel from the area. Once the root canal is performed, a crown or filling is inserted and sealed to protect the tooth and the mouth from further infection. Root canals can be quite expensive and require multiple visits to perform, so make sure you look into the cost before you agree to the surgery.

TL;DR in Russian:

Удалите абсцесс хирургически. Узнайте о пародонтальной терапии. Подумайте над лечением корневых каналов.


If you have decided that this relationship is over for good, make sure that he knows it too. Speak to him in person (not over the phone) and be as clear as you can. Don't make him think you are just taking a break, or that he should wait for you.  You may say, "We are not working out. I am moving on." You may say, "This relationship has run its course. I am ready to try something new." If you are trying to get over a guy (even if you still have feelings for him), you simply must ignore him. Begin by deleting him from your phone. If you cannot call or text him with the push of a button, you are less likely to reach out.  If you want to write his number down somewhere, then go ahead. But if you reach for your phone and want to call or text him, you will have to find the number and enter it in manually. This extra step should be enough to stop the cycle and get you to set the phone down. If you want to get over a guy, you need to avoid seeing him, and this includes seeing him through the internet. You will need to completely ignore him on social media. If you do not want to "unfriend" him, then at the very least, you must "hide" or "unfollow" him. This will allow you the space you need to heal. When you are heartbroken, you are likely to imagine all the ways you could have done things differently. Chances are, you’ll be tempted to phone your ex and sort everything out. But if you’ve already decided to ignore this guy, don’t worry about fixing what has been done. Remember that it is not your job to fix things or make him feel better. Your only job is to take care of you.  If you really need to sort things out, do it by writing things down. You may also want to talk things over with a close friend. On his birthday, Christmas, the New Year, or any other holiday, you may be tempted to text him to wish him well. Don’t do this. You will just be opening a door that is better left shut. Text somebody else to wish them a happy holiday and then set the phone down. The best way to ignore your ex is to keep yourself busy....

TL;DR in Russian:

Пусть парень поймет, что между вами все кончено. Удалите его номер из своих контактов. Игнорируйте его в социальных сетях. Не пытайтесь исправить положение. Не поздравляйте его в праздники. Держите себя в руках. Немного отдалитесь от общих друзей.


If you have decided that you are ready for love, then you will have to put yourself in situations where you can meet someone who shares your interests. If someone shares your interests, you will be more likely to be compatible. To find someone who is compatible with you, do things that you enjoy and consider making a profile on an online dating site.  For example, if you are passionate about animals, volunteer your time at a local animal shelter. If you love running, join a local running club. Find something that allows you to do what you love and interact with people who share your passion. You can also try meeting someone through an online dating site. These sites can help you to determine if the person shares your interests before you meet them, which may make it easier for you to connect with the person. To indicate your interest in someone, you will need to demonstrate your interest through your facial expressions, body language, and comments. Using things like body language, eye contact, and flirtatious comments can help to show the other person that you are interested in them. If you are a novice at flirting, keep it simple to start. Some simple ways that you can flirt include:   Smiling. Smiling is an easy way to flirt and it can also make you seem more attractive.   Making Eye Contact. Keep good eye contact is another simple way to indicate your interest to your date. Research has shown that prolonged eye contact can increase feelings of attraction between two people.   Mirroring Body Position. Stand or sit in a way that mirrors your date. For example, if your date is leaning in towards you with one arm on the table, you could do the same. Research has shown that putting yourself into a thrilling situation can increase feelings of attraction between two people. Make sure that you plan some exciting dates when you are first getting to know someone to increase feelings of attraction. Go to see an action movie together, spend a day at an amusement park, or go bungee jumping. When you are first getting...

Познакомьтесь с кем-нибудь. Флиртуйте. Ходите на захватывающие свидания. Не торопитесь. Будьте любопытны.


If you have good credit, contact the credit card companies and ask to have your rate lowered. That's an excellent way to lower your interest expenses and will save you money every month. If you can't get your interest rate lowered on some high interest credit cards, then pay those off first. That way, you'll reduce your interest expense over time by lowering the balance on those cards. If your credit is good, you can consolidate your credit card debt into one debt consolidation loan. You'll find that it's easier to manage one payment per month than many payments. Plus, it's often the case that debt consolidation loans have a lower interest rate than credit cards. To ensure that you get out of debt, you'll need to stop increasing your debt. Switch from a credit card to a debit card so that the money you spend goes out of your account immediately. Credit card payments are structured to keep the cash flowing to the credit card companies for as long as possible. Avoid falling into a trap that hurts your financial position and helps your creditors by paying off more than the minimum payments whenever you can.

TL;DR in Russian:

Понизьте процент кредитования. В первую очередь расплатитесь с долгами по кредиткам с наивысшим процентом. Подумайте о том, чтобы взять кредит на консолидацию долгов. Перестаньте пользоваться кредитными картами. Платите больше минимального взноса, когда это возможно.


If you have gout, a type of arthritis from high uric acid levels, crystals can form in the fluid around your joints. Although older men are more likely to get it, it can affect anyone. No one knows the true cause of gout, but certain risk factors include a diet high in meat and seafood, obesity, chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, family history of gout or if you are on certain medications. Gout causes inflammation and attacks of joint pain (usually at night and experienced in your big or great toe), along with redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness of the joint. The discomfort lingers for days to weeks after the attack ends and could actually develop into chronic gout, leading to impaired mobility. If you have chronic gout, frequent or painful gout attacks, talk to your doctor about starting a prescription medication. Your doctor may do different tests to diagnose gout, including a blood test to measure your uric acid levels, a synovial fluid test (where a needle draws fluid from your joint), or an ultrasound or CT scan to detect urate crystals. With the results of the tests, your doctor will be able to decide if and which medication you should start. Your doctor may prescribe medications like xanthine oxidase inhibitors, uricosuric drugs, and other less common drugs such as colchicine, which is for acute gout attacks. These medications decrease the amount of uric acid your body makes which can lower your blood uric acid level. Your doctor will most likely prescribe these medications as a first form of treatment for chronic gout. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors include allopurinol (Aloprim, Zyloprim) and febuxostat (Uloric). While these medications can cause an initial increase in gout attacks, they'll eventually prevent them.   Side effects of allopurinol include diarrhea, drowsiness, rash and low blood counts. Make sure to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day when taking allopurinol. Side effects of febuxostat include rash, nausea, joint pain and reduced liver function....

If you have mistakenly entered in the wrong price for an item, or a customer decides they do not want to purchase an item after you entered it in, you may need to void the item or sale. This will remove it from the subtotal.  Type in an amount, press department key, press VOID (sometimes VD) button to remove it from the total. You must void an item before entering in a new item. Otherwise, you will need to subtotal the items, then press VOID, then press the exact amount you'd entered by mistake, and press the department key. This will subtract the incorrect amount from the subtotal. If you need to void the entire sale with multiple items, go through each item and void each one. If a customer wants to return an item, you need to account for that in the day's cash totals before handing back money to the customer. To refund a sale, press the REF key, type in the exact amount of the item, and press the corresponding department key. Hit the subtotal button and then hit the CASH/AMT TND button. The till drawer will open and you can issue a refund to the customer.  Certain buttons and functions such as refunding money can be protected for manager use only. These might require that a manager uses a key to put the register in a different mode to use void or refund. Check with your supervisor regarding the correct policy for handling returns and refunds. Some registers will beep or emit an error sound if keys are pressed in the wrong order or wrong combination. To stop the error sound, press the CLEAR or C key. If you have pressed the wrong numbers and have not hit the department button yet, press the CLEAR or C key to clear the numbers you've entered. If you already hit the department button, you will need to void the transaction.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отмена продажи. Возврат покупки. Выключите звуковой сигнал об ошибке. Сбросьте неправильно введенные цифры.


If you have mold growing on your walls (especially drywall) or flooring, the mold may have spread beyond what’s visible. Press into the spot with a screwdriver or sharp tool. If the wood feels soft, the mold has spread below the surface and into the wood. This will require more than surface cleaning.  If the spot feels slightly soft, the mold can be removed. If the wood feels spongy or crumbles, it may be rotten and not salvageable. Before you begin to physically remove the mold, all of the moisture in the wood needs to be eliminated.  Set a large fan (or two) in the room with the mold, and direct the blowing air towards the moldy floor or wall. Let the fans blow for several hours.  Drying the moldy area will protect the floors and prevent future mold growth. Make sure your floors are totally dry. Ingrained mold needs to be dry before you remove it. Mold particles can be dangerous to inhale, and you should take precautions to avoid this. Wear a mask or handkerchief over your mouth, and open all exterior windows and doors. For an added precaution, set a large box fan in one of the exterior windows to blow the mold-infused air out of the room you’re working in. If you do not have a box fan, you can purchase one at a hardware store or a home-supply store. First use 100 grit sandpaper or a metal hand scraper to remove as much mold as you can. Use finer 220 grit sandpaper to remove more ingrained mold. If the mold has penetrated deeply into the wooden floor, you’ll need to use a more heavy-duty scraping tool. Use a metal utensil, such as a spackle blade, to scrape away the mold.  Sand in a circular motion, and only sand the affected area. Once you’ve removed the mold, polish the affected area with 200 or 250 grit sandpaper until smooth. Mix water and bleach at an 8:1 ratio, and put the solution in a spray bottle. Spray the moldy area with the bleach solution, and let it sit for several minutes. Then use an old rag to wipe up the bleach solution. This will kill any live mold before it spreads.  Even if it looks as...

If you have never felt comfortable naked or have always hated your body, the first step is to decide that you want that to change.  Set a specific goal -- to feel comfortable naked with the lights on in front of your spouse, for example --  to make it more likely that you will achieve a positive outcome.  Create a detailed plan as to how you will achieve your goal. Decide how you will track your progress, when you would like to achieve your goal (make sure this gives you enough time to change), and what you will do to achieve success. Start where you are. If you don’t feel comfortable with your body even with your clothes on, work on that first, then build up to nudity. If you are uncomfortable being naked in front of another person with the lights on, try leaving on the lights for just a few seconds while you’re naked. As you become more comfortable, you can extend the length of time. Don't let the fact that you haven't yet accomplished the goal make you unhappy. Instead, be proud of yourself for working toward your goal. There are many reasons why someone might criticize your appearance -- and many of these reasons have nothing to do with you or your body. What matters is what you think, not what others think.  The practice of mindfulness -- keeping your attention on the present moment and observing your thoughts and feelings without judging them -- can help you achieve self-acceptance and can make it possible for you to examine opinions and values concerning nudity and your own body with a certain level of detachment.  Keep reminding yourself that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just because some cultures and societies worship a certain body type doesn’t mean it’s the best one. Look at Peter Paul Rubens’ painting “The Three Graces” to see what a beautiful woman’s body looked like during the Renaissance.  Look for inspiration from those who have succeeded in conquering fear. For example, consider the bravery of Jae West, an eating disorder survivor who stood outside in London in a bra and panties to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте перед собой цель и продумайте план. Стремитесь к принятию себя и не переживайте из-за мнения других людей. Взгляните на проблему рационально.


If you have never lifted weights, used resistance bands or used weight machines, hire a personal trainer or physical therapist to teach you the proper form and procedure.  If you are very weak, start with resistance bands. This gentle form of strength-training allows you to use a rubber strap to train weak muscles before lifting actual weights. Do this 2 to 3 times per week for the first 3 to 4 weeks. If you have a joint or back problem, you may want to graduate to stronger bands and stick to this form of strength training. You can increase your testosterone levels by up to 20 percent by lifting weights 3 times per week for 11 weeks. For men, you will want to choose weights that tire your muscles after only 5 repetitions. Do 3 sets. You should feel muscle fatigue after a weight training workout. Allow your muscles 24 to 48 hours to rest.  Women or people with joint problems may choose to do endurance training. For example, they may choose a slightly lower weight and complete 3 sets of 10 to 15. Work half sets in between full sets. This means you should complete half the range of motion, from the bottom up or top down, to work the fast twitch muscle fibers as well as the slow twitch fibers. Lift weights slowly. Breathe slowly and never drop the weight. Control the weight until it is in its original position. Begin doing cardio exercise for at least 30 minutes 5 times per week.  Interval training requires you to warm up, sprint or workout intensely for a short period (such as 90 seconds), and then work out at a more moderate "resting" pace for a slightly longer interval (approximately 2 to 4 minutes). Repeat these sets for approximately 30 minutes, including warm up and cool down. The different intervals can vary based on the specific cardio activity. If you are new to interval training, consider having a personal trainer suggest a regimen for your experience level. Cardiovascular machines, like stair machines, bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills can be programmed to do interval training if you do not want to...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you have never spent much time creating art, it may feel daunting to try to become an artist. The truth is, everyone is an artist; they just need to express their creative ideas in a great way. If there is a specific type of art you would like to learn more about, go for it, but don’t be afraid to branch out and try other mediums as well. Some of the most basic forms of art include:    Drawing: This medium can range from the most basic of sketches to intricate  architectural designs. Drawings are generally created with a pencil, pen, charcoal, or crayon. Drawings can be of objects placed right in front of you, or images out of your imagination.   Painting: This medium uses paint brushes to create both real life and imagined images with paint. Painting often delves into the abstract--a painting made in red and purple hues might be a representation of a feeling--such as love--that the painter was feeling while he or she worked.  Photography: Photography uses a film or digital camera to capture a moment in time. Photographs often tell us about what the world was like at the exact moment that the photo was taken. Photos can reflect great beauty or great horror--just as the world can too.  Sculpting: Sculpting is the process of taking a material (clay, wood, metal, etc.) and shaping the material into a work of art or a functional tool (and sometimes both at the same time.) Once you have tried out all of the mediums, decide which ones you are stronger at. Often someone who is fantastic at creating sculptures out of clay cannot paint to save their life. Of course, there are other people who seem like they were created solely to be fantastic artists and excel at every medium. Another important thing to keep in mind is which medium you enjoy working with most. If you are fantastic drawer but feel yourself pulled toward sculpting, why not give this new medium a try. Pick up some books on the medium(s) you have chosen to focus on (for now). Learn as much as you can about the medium—read books and articles, watch...

If you have not done so already, you will need to cook the beef before you can shred it. You cannot shred beef while it is still raw. Allow the beef to cool slightly before you shred it. You do not need to handle it directly with your hands when you use this method, so it does not need to be cool to the touch. Nonetheless, allowing the beef to rest for five minutes or so will let the juices settle and disperse throughout the meat more evenly. Stick the tines (prongs) of both forks in the beef so that the two forks stand adjacent to each other and back to back. Drag both forks in exact opposite directions to remove shreds of cooked beef. Ideally, you should shred the beef along the grain instead of trying to work against it. Shredding in the direction of the grain will make the process easier and quicker. Continue pulling off shreds of beef by dragging the forks across the roast in opposite directions. If the beef does not fall off naturally, peel it off the fork from time to time and continue shredding. Repeat this as needed until all the beef has been separated into shreds. You may run across gristle and fat as you shred the beef. Discard it as you see it before continuing on. The shredded beef can be eaten immediately, but if you need to save it, you can store the beef in the refrigerator for up to three days.  For longer storage, freeze the shredded beef up to three months. When preparing the refrigerate or freeze the beef, separate it into 2-cup (500-ml) portions and place those portions inside airtight containers. Pour enough cooking liquid over the beef to prevent it from drying out or from getting freezer burn. The beef can be thawed in your refrigerator or microwave. Alternatively, you can place the contents of the container in a saucepan and heat the beef on medium-low on your stove until warm.

If you have olive skin with a warm or yellow undertone, choose a golden color for your base. For example, choose a honey blonde, auburn, chestnut, or mocha color. If doing highlights, try a warm red color to really bring out the warmth of your skin tone. If you have olive skin with a cool undertone, as most olive skinned people do, pick a hair color that highlights these cool tones. For example, pick an ash, platinum, copper, or violet red. If you have dark olive skin with cool undertones, avoid choosing a light ashy blonde or something similar that will starkly contrast. If you have a warm eye color, such as hazel, brown, or green, consider choosing a color that will highlight your eyes. For example, if your hazel eyes have some flecks of red, choose a hair color that has a reddish hue in order to bring out your eyes.

If you have plenty of time on your hands in the morning, you can save yourself a significant amount of effort throughout the day by making the entire day's juice in one go. You can then keep it in the fridge until you're ready to drink it. Alternatively, you can just prepare the fruit and veg you intend to use in each juice and store it in ziploc bags in the fridge until you're ready to juice!  Experiment with different fruit and veg combinations to get tasty and unusual combinations. Really put some thought into what flavors will work well together - that way drinking your juice will be a pleasure rather than a chore. When doing a juice fast, you should try to keep the ratio of fruit juice to vegetable juice at 20:80. Fruit juices can contain a lot of sugars which are harder for your body to process, so perhaps limit the fruit juices to the morning and stick to vegetable juices for lunch and dinner. A juice fast isn't supposed to leave you starving - your body will need the vitamins and nutrients from the juice to keep you going and do the important work of cleansing your body. For this reason, there is no limit on how much juice you should drink throughout the day. Whenever you feel hungry or thirsty, drink a juice. You should be drinking at least four servings of juice a day. If you are doing the juice fast to lose weight, you should not try to limit your juice intake either. Your body is being deprived of enough calories as it is, and limiting your juice intake will only send your body into survival mode and cause it to retain any extra weight. So stick to a minimum of 4 glasses a day. Staying hydrated is extremely important when on a juice cleanse, as the water will help to flush toxins from your system, along with helping you to rehydrate after eliminations. Drinking water will also help to keep sensations of hunger at bay. You should aim to drink at least 16 oz of water with each juice, either by diluting the juice with 50% water, or by drinking them one after the other. You should also drink...

If you have protected iTunes audio files that you can't (or don't want to) convert with iTunes Match, you can burn the files onto a CD and then move the files from the CD back onto your computer in MP3 format. This method won't always work, and it will result in a minor loss in audio quality. The "RW" part stands for "Read/Write", meaning that you can erase and reuse the CD-RW after burning it. This makes it useful for converting large groups of protected music.  You can use a blank CD-R, but you'll only be able to use it once. This will be a hassle if you plan on converting more than one CD's worth of music. The DVD drive should have the word "DVD" written on it or near it; if you don't see the word "DVD" here—or if your computer doesn't have a disc slot at all—you'll first need to buy and plug in a USB DVD player.   Again, the CD-RW must be blank. USB DVD drives connect to your computer via a USB cable. If your computer uses USB-C (oval) ports rather than the traditional USB 3.0 (rectangular) ports, you'll need to buy a USB-C DVD drive (or a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter). Its app icon resembles a multicolored musical note on a white background. You may be prompted to update iTunes. If so, click Download iTunes in the prompt window, then allow iTunes to update. You will have to restart your computer before proceeding. Click the Kind tab above your music library list to do so. If you don't see the Kind tab, you can enable it by right-clicking the music sorting options bar and then clicking the "Kind" checkbox. Right-click the sorting options bar at the top of your iTunes library. Look for files with "M4P" listed in the Kind column; any M4P file is a protected iTunes file. Hold down Ctrl (or ⌘ Command on a Mac) while clicking each song that you want to convert. You should see each song row that you click change color.  While most CD-RWs can store around 80 minutes of music, this is not an exact figure—some CD-RWs may be able to hold a few more minutes, while others may hold a few fewer minutes. Right-click one of...

If you have self-confidence, then you will have poise; the two dovetail. Accepting yourself increases your self-esteem and can help you develop confidence and poise.  Make a list of your strengths and things you want to improve, including personality characteristics and appearance. Go down the list and verbally accept each part of yourself. Say, “I accept that I am talkative. I accept that I sometimes have a temper.” In general, you can use a self-affirmation such as saying to yourself, “I accept everything about myself. I accept who I am, what I look like, my past, present, and future.” How you think about yourself affects your actions and your ability to be poised. To develop self-confidence, learn to believe in yourself. This means believing that you are a positive person who has interesting things to share. This also means doing things that make you feel confident about yourself.  Visualization is a helpful way to believe in yourself. Close your eyes and imagine yourself as completely confident and poised. Where are you? What does it feel like? What are you thinking about? What are you doing?  Think positive thoughts about yourself. If you find yourself worrying or thinking negatively, re-frame the situation. You could practice by purposefully thinking, "I can do this. I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I believe in myself." Try power poses. Our body language can actually shape how we feel about ourselves. Power poses generally involve making your body bigger (taking up more space) instead of smaller (which indicates a lack of confidence). Try spreading your legs slightly apart and putting your hands on your hips. You can find more power poses online. Paying attention to the positive aspects of yourself can heighten your ability to have confidence and poise in social situations, which can increase the likelihood that you are accepted by others.  Make a list of your accomplishments. Did you get an A on a paper? Are you great at swimming and you once won a medal? Think about how you can use your...

If you have several options, you need to consider a few things. Price is, of course, sometimes a factor in what you choose. You may also want a location near your house. Finally, you should ask if the cemetery is dedicated. That means that it says in the deed that it will always be a cemetery, even if the land is sold to someone else. In some cemeteries, you'll have the option of an individual grave site or a group site. In a group site, your pet would be buried with other pets.  You might also have the option of a grave, mausoleum, or crypt.  In some areas, you may only have the option of group burial. Just like a regular cemetery, you'll likely have the option of choosing a plot if you pick an individual site. You'll work with the cemetery manager to find the one that you want.  You will need to pay for the plot before your pet is buried. You can also buy one in advance before your pet passes away.  Keep in mind that some cemeteries require you to pay a maintenance fee each year if you have a plot for your pet there. Just like a standard cemetery, you have the option of headstones. Work with the cemetery to choose one that you like for your pet. Many pet cemeteries can work with you to set up a funeral if you wish. However, you don't necessarily need to have one if you don't want one or can't afford it.

TL;DR in Russian:

If you have short hair, you may only need half of this amount. Buy organic, extra virgin, unprocessed coconut oil from a health food retailer for this application. Store the coconut oil in its glass jar at a temperature below 76 °F (24 °C); this will keep it in its congealed form. the coconut oil over low heat, or in your hands. Put the scoop of oil in a small saucepan and place it over low heat on the stove. Let it cool enough that you can comfortably handle the oil. Alternatively, you can melt small amounts of the coconut oil in your hands while you massage it into your hair. If you have long hair, divide it into sections with a comb and hair clips. Then, dip your fingers into the melted oil and use your fingertips to massage it in from the roots to the tips of the hair in each section. If you’re using unmelted coconut oil, scoop up just enough to work into the section of hair you’re working on, rub it between your fingers for 15-30 seconds until it melts, and massage it in with your fingertips. If possible, wait at least 2 hours before washing out the coconut oil—this will give it more time to absorb into your hair. When you’re ready, just use your typical shampoo to wash your hair, then rinse and dry as normal. You can even keep the coconut oil in overnight. Just make sure you put a towel down on your pillow so it doesn’t end up stained. You might also want to put on a shower cap overnight.

If you have speakers already connected to your stereo, fully disconnect them. Active crossover units are larger than passive ones and need to be mounted in a stable location, ideally near your amplifiers. Do not mount your crossover directly to a metal rack, as this can cause buzzing and other sound problems. Using the appropriate cables, wire your crossover into the receiver or preamp, with the wires coming out of the receiver going into the "in" terminals on the crossover.  Depending on your receiver and your stereo system, you will probably be making this connection with RCA cables, but some crossovers will are set up to use speaker wire instead (as detailed in Method 1) if your receiver doesn't have RCA outputs.  Crossovers designed for PA systems sometimes use quarter inch cables, like those used to plug in an electric guitar, or XLR cables, like those used to plug in a microphone. Using the appropriate cables (again, usually RCA or speaker wire for a home stereo system), connect the appropriate outputs to the appropriate amplifiers.  If you don't have a subwoofer, you'll send your high frequency signal to your tweeter amp and low-frequency signal to your woofer amp. In this case, make sure your crossover is set to two-way mode. There should be a switch that controls this. If you can't locate it, check your instruction manual. Connect the left output of each frequency range to the left input of the coinciding amplifier and the right output of each frequency range to the right input of the coinciding amplifier. There are several ways to hook up a subwoofer to your system. Whichever you choose, you'll need to set up your crossover so that the mid-frequency signal is being sent to the woofers, but the low-frequency signal is not.  One approach is to use additional cables from your crossover to your subwoofer (or subwoofer amplifier, if your subwoofer doesn't have it's own power). In this scenario, you'll set the crossover to three-way mode if you're connecting to separate woofers and tweeters, or the...

If you have to exercise, join a gym or hit the road before dawn or after dusk. Wear a brimmed hat when necessary and don’t forget to wear sunscreen daily – even if it’s cloudy outside. Up to 80% of the sun's rays can pass through clouds. Don't forget your lips! Slather on a lip balm that has built in SPF 15 in addition to your daily moisturizer. A healthy glow is important to any skin tone. While you're working on the getting your skin a bit fairer, keep to a routine that will let your skin radiate brilliance.  Don't smoke. It causes a sallow, uneven skin tone that can easily show up in young people. The habit can also increase the likelihood of developing sun spots, a mark usually reserved for the elderly.  Keep a nutritious, healthy diet. In particular, up the vitamin C. It's key to the production of collagen, a protein that aids in the growth of cells and blood vessels and gives skin its firmness and strength. A professional will be able to run you through all your options if you're dead-set on altering your skin tone. There are over-the-counter and prescription products they may be able to set you up with that are safe and more effective. In addition, they can debunk the myths that abound about skin care and provide knowledge that no website can parallel. Talk to your doctor before you take any serious action.

If you have two friends who are fighting, you might find that both of them will try to convince you to be on their ‘side.’ In the majority of situations, your best bet is to remain neutral and not take sides. Instead, help both friends think through what they’re fighting about and provide support for a possible reconciliation. There are always exceptions to this ‘rule,’ but it’s up to you to decide when to make such an exception based on your own personal beliefs and moral judgement. . Before you decide to support your friends during their fight, possibly as a mediator, set yourself some boundaries. For example, make sure your friends understand that you aren’t a postman and that you will not be the one to carry a message from one friend to the other. If you’re friends want to pass a message to each other, they have to do it themselves Another boundary might be to tell your friends you will not help them if they simply start to rant and spew nasty comments about each other. Your goal is to help them get to a resolution, not help them be nasty to each other. It may seem counter-intuitive, but you may want to avoid offering either friend specific advice. It’s not because you’re being unhelpful, it’s because they need to figure out a solution on their own. You should be there to support them, but you can’t provide a solution for them.  Instead of offering advice, ask more questions. For example, if you realize one of your friends isn’t able to see a specific point-of-view of your other friend, ask questions that lead your friend to realize and understand that point-of-view. Beware that if you do offer advice that doesn’t end up working, you could end up being blamed by one or both friends for the bad situation they’re in. If you feel the need to offer some sort of advice, ask first. Don’t provide unsolicited advice. Your friend may already know what they’re going to do about the situation and may just be looking for a shoulder to lean on, not advice.

TL;DR in Russian:

Старайтесь не принимать ничью сторону. Установите границы Не следует давать советы, если вас об этом не просят.


If you have used your brush for cream-based makeup, soap and water alone won't be enough to dislodge the makeup. You will need some oil to help loosen the makeup—especially if it has been on the brush for a while. Do not set the brush down on a towel, as this can cause mildew to form. Instead, lay the handle part of the brush on a counter or table, and let the bristles stick out over the edge.

TL;DR in Russian:

If you haven't already done so, remove your new distributor from its packaging. Make the same marks that you made on your old distributor on your new distributor. In other words, mark your old distributor's rotor position inside the housing of your new distributor and mark the location on the outside of the distributor that lines up with your engine's mounting point. As noted above, the position of the rotor in the new distributor must match the rotor position in the old distributor exactly or your vehicle won't be able to start. Ensure your rotor is lined up with the marking you made. As you install the distributor, take care not to accidentally move or nudge the rotor. Re-fasten the distributor in the same spot as the old distributor, lining up the marked location on the distributor housing with the engine mounting point. Re-screw any screws or bolts as needed to hold the distributor in place. Don't tighten these fasteners all the way - you'll want to be able to move the distributor very slightly by hand. Connect each wire to the distributor according to the markings you made. Ensure that you fasten each wire in its correct place - each one should be re-attached in the location that corresponds to its original location on the old rotor. Double check all of your connections and attempt to start the vehicle. If the vehicle won't start, but sounds "close", try adjusting the position of the rotor a tiny amount (no greater than the width of the mark you made) and trying again. If the engine sounds less close to starting, adjust the rotor in the other direction. If it sounds closer to starting, continue to adjust it slightly in the same direction. When you get the vehicle to start, allow it to "warm up" until it idles smoothly. Stop the engine and put a timing light on the #1 spark plug. Restart the engine. Adjust the timing by rotating the distributor housing by very small amounts. Be sure to follow the instructions specific to your vehicle which you located before replacing the distributor - as noted above,...

If you haven't already, you'll need to have your Xbox 360 connected to an HDTV that is at least 720p. You cannot play splitscreen if you are playing on an old standard definition TV. Your 360 must also be connected to the TV via either component cable (five-prong) or HDMI. You'll need at least two controllers—one for you and one for a friend—to play splitscreen on your Xbox 360. You can have up to four players (including yourself) in Minecraft splitscreen. You can check your current output resolution by navigating to settings → System → Console Settings → Display → HDTV Settings. The "Current Setting" needs to be set to 720p or higher, as any other setting will prevent splitscreen from working. Your controller should already be signed in, but you'll need to sign the other controller(s) into accounts of their own.  Press the "Guide" button (the Xbox logo in the middle of the controller). Select Sign In  Select a profile, or select Create Profile and create a new profile by following the on-screen steps. Repeat this process for up to two more controllers. Place the Minecraft disc in the console and close the CD tray, or select the Minecraft game from your game library by scrolling over to the games tab, selecting My Games, and selecting Minecraft there. It's a grey button at the top of the Minecraft main page. Select the world that you want to play in, then select Load. This will open the world in question. You can also select the Create tab and then select Create New World to set up a new world. Once the world loads, press the Select button, which is a triangle to the right of the "Guide" button.

If you haven't done so already, turn off both the TV and DVR before connecting them. Both devices can be plugged into a power source during the process. Just make sure that the devices are powered down while you connect them. Plug the green, blue, and red connectors of the component cable into their matching Component In ports on the back or side of the TV. Plug the green connector to the green Y port, the blue connector to the blue Pb port, and the red connector to the red Pr port. The other end of the component cable should also have green, blue, and red connectors. Plug each of these into their matching Component Out ports on the back of the DVR. As before, the green connector plugs into the green Y port, the blue connector plugs into the blue Pb port, and the red connector plugs into the red Pr port. You'll need to use a separate L/R audio cable for the audio. Connect the plugs on one end of this cable into their matching Audio In ports on the back of the TV. Plug the red connector into the red Audio In Right port and the white connector into the white Audio In Left connector. The connectors at the other end of the same L/R audio cable should be plugged into the matching Audio Out ports on the back of the DVR. You'll need to insert the red plug into the red Audio Out Right port and the white plug into the white Audio Out Left port. The DVR and TV should now be connected. Turn both pieces of equipment back on and switch the TV to the necessary input source to watch content from the DVR. Scroll through the input options by pressing the "Source" or "Input" button on your TV or remote control. Stop once a picture appears on the TV screen. Usually, this will be the "Video" option.

If you hear a great deal of static or other background noise when you talk to people on the phone, there is a chance that the noise is coming from interference created by a tap.  This is not the best of signs when taken alone, though, since echoes, static, and clicking can also be caused by random interference or a bad connection. Static, scratching, and popping can be caused by a capacitive discharge resulting from two conductors being connected. High-pitched humming is an even greater indication. You can check for sounds that your ear cannot pick up by using a sound-bandwidth sensor on a low frequency. If the indicator pops up several times per minute, your phone may very well be tapped. If you suspect that there might be a tap on your phone, walk over to a radio or television during your next phone call. Even if there is no audible interference on your phone itself, there is some chance that interference could occur when you stand next to another electronic device, causing static with that device.  You should also look for distortion when you are not on actively using the phone. An active wireless phone signal could disrupt the transmission of data even without additional software or hardware being installed on your phone, but an inactive signal should not.  Some bugs and taps use frequencies close to the FM radio band, so if your radio squeals when set to mono and dialed into the far end of the band, one of these devices might be in use. Likewise, taps can interfere with TV broadcast frequencies on UHF channels. Use a TV with an antenna to check the room for interference. Your phone should be quiet when you are not using it. If you can hear beeping, clicking, or other noises from your phone even when it is not in use, there could be a tapping software or hardware installed.  In particular, listen for a pulsating static noise. If this occurs, it could suggest that the microphone and speaker are active even when the phone is not in use via a hook switch bypass. Any conversation you have within 20 feet (6 m)...

If you hit a blot, a point occupied by just one of your opponent's checkers, then the opponent's checkers will be placed on the bar. You should try to hit the blots whenever possible, as long as it helps you move your pieces as close to your home court as possible. This is a great way to slow down your opponent. Any time a player's checker is on the bar, he can't move his other checkers until he gets the bar checker back on the home board. If a player hits a blot with one of your pieces on it, then you have to place your own checker on your bar. Your task is now to move that checker back onto the opposing home board. You can do this by rolling the dice and then moving the checker onto an open point on your opponent's home board, if you roll an open number. If you do not roll an open number, then you lose your turn and you will have to try again on your next turn.  For example, if you roll a 2, you can enter your piece on the 23 mark on your opponent's home court, provided that it's open. This is because you're moving your checker two points over from the bar. You may not use the sum of the two numbers to choose a space. For example, if you roll a 6 and a 2, you cannot add them and move your piece onto the 8th point. You can only move your checker onto the 6th or the 2nd point to reenter. Once you get your checker(s) off the bar and back onto the board, you can move your other checkers again. If you only had one checker to enter, then you can use the other number that you rolled to move one of your other checkers.  If you have two checkers on the bar, you have to enter them both before you can move any other checkers. If you can only enter one checker during a dice roll, then you will have to try again on your next turn. If you have more than two checkers on the bar, you can only move your other checkers once all the checkers on the bar are entered.

TL;DR in Russian:

Побейте блот, и шашка противника отправится на бар. Вводите побитые шашки обратно в игру. Выведя все свои шашки с бара, вы можете продолжить ходить другими шашками.


If you just can't get someone to take down negative information about you, the best course of action is to try to bury it in good content. This means you may be actively taking the opposite approach of removing your name, since you'll want lots of results for your name that are positive. Since the goal of this is to bury a negative piece of content, you'll want to create as much neutral and positive content as possible. This includes social networks, as these are often ranked highly in search results. Sign up for every major social network and make sure your accounts are set to be publicly-viewable. Sign up for Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Vine, Pinterest, Instagram, and any other popular networks. Create accounts on sites like Quora, GitHub, Stack Exchange, and other public sites (even wikiHow). All of these will contribute to your search results. Once you've created a profile, make some helpful posts on popular threads to increase the chance that your name will be linked to it in a search result. This URL will shoot to the top of any search for your name because it is an exact match.  It also helps to include a link to this domain on your public social media profiles. The more a URL is linked to from an outside source, the higher up it will appear in search results.  Use this opportunity to market yourself or your business. Include some positive information, especially if you are trying to bury content that doesn't put you in a very good light. If you really want to make a dent on your search result, a popular blog will go a long way. This will take a lot of time, but is probably the most effective way to bury a bad article or page. You can start a blog for free using Blogger, WordPress, or a variety of other services. Try to post at least once a week to start building up content. See How to Start a Blog for some tips on getting your blog started. If you run a business and are trying to bury a bad review, ask your satisfied customers to consider leaving a review on Yelp or Google+. Enough good...

If you know something about your boyfriend is going to bother your parents, don't start out the conversation with that. Instead, wait until the middle or end of the conversation to talk about it. For instance, if your boyfriend is older than you, you might want to hold off on that bit of news until near the end of the conversation. If you're going against your parents expectations of you, they are probably going to be upset. You're just going to have to deal with their anger and even tears, until you can get them to see reason. It may take a little while for your parents to get used to the idea. If they get upset while you are talking to them and tell you "no," they might change their minds later when they've cooled down a bit. Either way, you need to respect the fact that you still need to have a relationship with them, meaning you can't just write them off as evil because they told you no.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не спешите говорить о негативных сторонах молодого человека. Учтите — возможно, ваши родители расстроятся. Будьте готовы к тому, что понадобится время.


If you know that she sorely objects to the amount of money you spend on your car, do not bring it up in conversation. Understand that she will likely never understand your view on certain subjects and avoid them in conversation. This does not pertain to subjects that must be discussed, like children, spouses, abuse or other serious family matters. Even if she needles you to discuss a private subject, politely tell her that you do not want to talk about it. If you stick to your guns, she may be frustrated at first but soon learn that her meddling is to no avail. If you know your Mom needs a few days to recover from an argument, don't pressure her to talk about it too soon. Doing so may cause tensions to continue to rise.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не делите весь свой мир с мамой. Если вы решили хранить что-либо в секрете, так и поступайте. Когда вам нужно, сохраняйте личное пространство.


If you know that your phone has been stolen, you should contact your carrier immediately. Your carrier will be able to disable the service for your phone line, preventing the person who stole your phone from using your phone to make calls and texts. Your carrier can also provide you with your phone's IMEI number, which you'll need in order to file a police report.  Use the following numbers to contact your carrier:   T-Mobile:   1-877-453-1304  Verizon: 1-800-922-0204  Sprint:  1-888-211-4727  AT&T Mobility: 1-800-331-0500 Head to your local police station or call your local non-emergency number and report your stolen phone. Give as much detail as possible, and be sure to have your phone's IMEI number handy, as most police reports require it. Not only will filing a police report potentially help get your phone back, it will allow you to file an insurance claim and prove that you didn't have your phone if fraudulent charges appear. If you have insurance on your phone, you can start the replacement process once you have a police report reference number. Contact your phone's insurance company for directly applicable instructions on how to get the process started.

TL;DR in Russian:

If you know the force and acceleration of an object, simply plug them into the same formula to find the object's mass. Here's how to do it:  Force = Mass x Acceleration 3N = Mass x 3m/s2  Mass = 3N/3m/s2  Mass = 1 kg If you know the force and mass of an object, simply plug them into the same formula to find the object's mass. Here's how to do it:  Force = Mass x Acceleration 10N = 2 kg x Acceleration Acceleration = 10N/2kg Acceleration = 5m/s2 If you want to find the force of an object, you can calculate its acceleration as long as you know its mass. All you have to do is use the formula for finding the acceleration of an object. The formula is (Acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)/Time.  Example: A runner reaches a speed of 6 m/s in 10 seconds. What is his acceleration? The final velocity is 6 m/s. The original velocity is 0 m/s. The time is 10s. Acceleration = (6 m/s - 0 m/s)/10s = 6/10s = .6m/s2

If you know what movie you're going to be watching, look up the trailer online and watch it from start to finish. Trailers are usually no more than three or four minutes long, and they contain highlights from the film. If you can get through the trailer, you'll be familiar with the plot, characters and setting, so there will be fewer surprises when you watch the movie. When it comes to horror movies, the fewer surprises, the better. In this case, spoilers are a good thing! Read all about the plot twists so you won't have to anticipate them when you watch the movie. When you already know how a movie ends, some of the magic and power is taken away. Read about who's going to die, who the killer is and what creepy twists you should brace yourself for. Find out what other movies the stars of the horror movie are also in. If the guy who plays the psycho killer played a friendly dad in a different movie, watch clips of the dad character. Do the same for all the other actors in the movie. When it comes time to watch the movie, you'll remember them as they were in their other, friendlier roles, and they won't seem as scary. If you're watching a classic horror movie, there are bound to be plenty of parodies. See if you can find a Saturday Night Live sketch making fun of the movie. If SNL didn't do one, look on YouTube to see if another comedy group might have done one. When you watch the actual movie, you'll remember the parody, and the movie will seem silly. One thing that makes watching horror movies so uncomfortable is seeing the blood and gore. The thing to remember is that it's all fake. Fake bones, fake skin, fake stitches, fake blood. Creating bloody costuming that looks realistic actually requires a lot of skill. When you learn about how the costumes and makeup were put together, you'll be able to watch the movie with a sense of fascination instead of horror. Certain things happen over and over again in horror movies, to the point where many horror movies are quite predictable. Learning the tropes can help to...

If you know your own value, others may learn to recognize it as well.  If you ever feel devalued or unimportant, remind yourself that you are a worthy, valuable, and unique person. You are not just an object, you are a person. You are more than a body or something pretty to look at. You have a beautiful mind you can share with others. Respect yourself by making responsible choices that benefit you or others and do not cause harm. Give yourself respect by treating yourself and your body well. Ways to treat yourself well include: eating healthy, getting enough sleep, exercising, relaxing, and engaging in safe recreational or creative activities. Identify what you believe in and hold dear and stick to these values. These values might include things like: freedom, empowerment, equality, respect, justice, family, love, and stability. Focusing on your values can help you make better decisions and ultimately get people to take you seriously.  If you aren't sure of your values, make a list of everything that you care about. These things are part of your value-system. Add to your list as you come up with new ideas. If you are disrespected by others, pay attention to your personal values. Remind yourself of what you think is important and act in line with these values. For example, if someone treats you poorly and you have an impulse to yell at them, you can remind yourself of your core value of respect; if you yell at someone you may not be showing them respect. Avoid any activities that go against your personal value system (such as stealing, disrespecting others, or treating yourself poorly). It is a sad reality that some women may be unhappy with themselves despite the many positive characteristics they have. However, if you truly love and accept who you are and what you do, you may be able to get others to accept you as well. The work always starts with you.  Focus on your strengths on a daily basis. You can list them in a journal or Word document. List things such as: ambitious, loving, caring, friendly, and...

If you let your dog near outdoor plants that you don't want him to eat, use remote punishment to condition him to avoid them as you can for indoor plants as well. This punishment could be administered by the dog's owner or caretaker standing at a distance so the dog does not know the punishment is coming from them or via the use of remote punishment products, such as motion-sensitive alarms, water sprayers or other deterrents.  An electric fence or dog run can keep your dog in a specific space while outside. Do not use any technique that will cause your dog pain or injury. Shock collars are not recommended by veterinary experts, especially not as training devices. Use a clicker (available at pet stores) to let your dog know when he does what you want him to do. Make noise with the clicker at the instant your dog does the behavior you want him to do and immediately reward him with a high-value treat, such as a piece of cheese or meat or his favorite cookie. Give him lots of praise. To keep the dog from eating your plants outside using the clicker, bring him outside and if he approaches the plants, signal him to come to you and give a click and a treat the moment that he does so. This way, you are rewarding the recall and not the plant-eating. Bitter Apple and Bitter Yuck are commercially available sprays meant to be sprayed on anything you want to discouraging your dog from chewing on. These sprays are available at pet stores and online. Other sprayable pet deterrents may be available from veterinarians or pet stores as well. You can also use chili pepper sauce diluted with water in a spray bottle to mist on plants you want to discourage dogs from eating. Vinegar and ammonia will also work to keep dogs away from areas where they are not welcome, but these substances cannot be sprayed directly on plants or they will die. Instead, spray the ground near the off-limits area to create a barrier.  Always be sure to use non-toxic substances to keep dogs away id it is used in a manner where dogs may ingest them. Be...

If you like your latte sweet or flavored, add a teaspoon of sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, or a flavored coffee syrup. Add it to the mug and stir until it’s well combined. Remove the jar’s lid, then heat the milk. The foam will rise to the top of the warm milk. Spoon the milk froth from the jar over the latte, or add a dollop of whipped cream for extra richness. Lightly dust the milk foam or whipped cream with cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa, or other spice of your choice. Sip or serve it promptly while it’s hot and the milk is still frothy.

If you live in Kansas, you don't need to prepare for a hurricane, but you'd better be ready for tornadoes. While some disasters, such as fire, can happen anywhere, the hazards you might encounter vary widely from place to place. Check with your local emergency management or civil defense office, Red Cross chapter, or the National Weather Service to get an idea of what emergencies you should prepare for. The organizations above will likely be able to advise you what to do in an emergency. They may be able to provide you with evacuation maps and information about local warning systems and emergency plans. If you can't get all the information you need from officials, research your local hazards on your own.  Figure out, for example, what preparations you should make for a tornado or hurricane and how to survive if you're caught in a disaster, and determine the best evacuation routes on your own if need be. Remember, when push comes to shove, it's your responsibility to ensure your family is well prepared. There's a good chance that all your family members won't be in the same place when disaster strikes, so it's important to have a predetermined rendezvous point. Choose a spot that will likely be safe and that is well away from your neighborhood, as you might not be able to make it back to your home. Designate a friend or relative as a contact person that you, your spouse, and your children can call if you can't meet up. In order to minimize the chance that the contact person will also be affected by the disaster, choose someone who lives in a distant town or in a different state. Make sure that all your family members have the contact person's phone number with them at all times. It's important to educate yourself on how to respond to likely hazards, but what happens to your family if they are away from you or if you're killed or injured? It's not enough for one person in the family to know what to do--everybody should know the plan. Once you've identified potential disaster scenarios, thoroughly inspect your...

If you live in a colder climate but have Callas growing in the garden, consider removing your Calla rhizomes, or bulbs, over the winter to give them a better chance of survival. To do this: Wait until just after the first frost. Cut the withered foliage back to three inches above ground level. Carefully dig out your Calla rhizome. Be sure to dig a much wider hole than you think you need to. Doing this will help you avoid damaging the bulb with your spade. Gently dislodge as much soil as you can from the healthy bulbs without damaging the roots. Rinse the bulbs under cool running water (such as the water from a garden hose) to remove the rest of the soil. It isn't worth keeping any rhizomes that are diseased or damaged. Throw these out with the trash. Avoid composting diseased plant matter as doing so can spread infection the infection to other plants. They should be well spaced to allow air to circulate between them. A cool dark place such as a garden shed or garage is suitable. It may be better to avoid bringing them into a heated home as the heat may be a shock that could cause mold to form on your bulbs. 60 to 70 degrees F is an ideal temperature for rhizome storage.  Try not to let them be exposed to sunlight. After they have dried out for a few days, put the rhizomes into paper bags with a small amount of dry peat moss or vermiculite.  Putting the moss or vermiculite in the bag will help to prevent one bulb from infecting another if it develops mold. You can also use a cardboard box if you make some ventilation holes to let air circulate. Avoid letting the bulbs touch each other and put moss or vermiculite between them. Damp and rot are the biggest threats to overwintering rhizomes, so try to keep them dry where possible and store them in a dark, dry place. They should not dry out completely however. If the bulbs appear dry or shrunken, a light mist with a water spray should prevent them from drying out too much. Callas need to rest for a few months before growing again. Try to plant them in mid or late...

If you live near marshlands or your city is experiencing a pipeline sediment issue, you may want to filter your water. Contact your water supplier to make sure it is safe to drink. If so and you want to fix the discoloration, a filtration system can help clear your water. You can purchase a filtration system from most home improvement stores. Consulting a plumber or water quality expert can help you find a system that is easily installable and can get rid of the source of your discoloration. Before you buy a system, ask one or several professionals for their opinion. Most water filters are equipped to remove sediment, debris, and some bacteria from the water. They generally do not, however, eliminate viruses. If you know that the cause is primarily sediment from rust or peat moss, a water filter may solve the problem. Water filters with a charcoal element in their cartridges can remove unpleasant tastes, if this is an issue with your water. Water purifiers use UV lights or chemicals to eliminate any pathogens, viruses, sediments, or debris that might naturally be found in the water. The main downside to purifiers, however, is that they can leave an unpleasant taste or odor in your water. If your main concern about your discolored water is its taste or odor, you may want to choose a different filtration system.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если проблема не ограничивается только вашим домом, попробуйте фильтровать воду. Спросите профессионала, какой фильтр больше подходит под ваши нужды. Установите фильтр для воды, если вы переживаете об отложениях в трубопроводе. Купите очиститель для стерилизации воды.


If you live on a high rise, you won't be able to make it outside every time your dog needs to go to the bathroom. Pick a spot in your apartment that isn't right in the middle of your living space, but is also easy for your dog to access at any time. A corner of the laundry room or kitchen works well. Choose a spot on hardwood or vinyl flooring, rather than carpet. A newspaper is a cheap material you can use to create a bathroom mat for your dog. Absorbent training pads are also available in pet stores. Choose the option that's most convenient for your household.  You could also use a dog litter tray. If you'll also take your dog outside to relieve himself, consider filling the tray with soil. This way, the dog will learn that it's acceptable to relieve itself outdoors and indoors. Take your dog to the bathroom mat on a strict schedule, just as you would if you were training your dog to go to a spot outside. Frequently walk him to the mat throughout the day and each time he shows signs of needing to relieve himself. The scent of the urine will help your dog remember that the mat is the place to go to the bathroom. Remove feces right away, but leave a sheet of newspaper or a small bit of padding with urine on the clean mat so your dog will naturally know where to go. Each time he successfully goes on the mat, reward him with a treat, petting, and praise. He'll eventually come to associate going to the bathroom on the mat with positive feelings, and he'll start going there without your help before too long.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите незаметное место, которое всегда будет доступно для собаки. Застелите место газетами или похожим материалом. Подводите собаку к этому месту. Регулярно заменяйте коврики, но всегда оставляйте в этом месте кусочек бумаги, пропитанной мочой. Вознаграждайте собаку всегда, когда она будет пользоваться этим местом.


If you lost power in your bedroom, unplug everything in that room before replacing any fuses. If you don't unplug any appliances before replacing the fuse, you run the risk of blowing the new fuse as well. You should see a main power switch in the fuse box that can be toggled between On/Off. Wear gloves and rubber-soled shoes when working in the fuse box. Be sure to remove any jewelry before replacing fuses. It is possible to replace fuses without turning the main power off, but it is dangerous. Exercise caution when working in the fuse box. If there isn’t a switch to turn off the power, there will be a fuse block, usually in the center of the top row. Pull it out and check to see if it is labeled “on” and one side and “off” on the other. If so, reinsert it with the “off” side facing up. If not, leave it out while you replace the fuse, then reinsert it. In each fuse box, there should be a circuit list that tells you what fuses control what circuits. This will give you an idea of what fuse may have blown. Find the fuse that corresponds with the area of the house that lost power.  The blown fuse will be cloudy or the metal line in the fuse will be broken.  If you don't have a circuit list, you may have to guess which fuse is blown. If you pull a fuse out and no other circuits lose power, you've found the blown fuse. To replace the fuse, simply screw the new fuse into the socket. Make sure you replace the fuse with a new one of the same amperage. Do not replace a blown fuse with one of a higher rating. Fuses are rated at 15, 20, or 30 amps. The higher the rating the larger the appliance they power. Once you have replaced the fuse, switch the main power back on. If you have a fuse block instead of a switch, replace the block with the side labeled “on” facing up. If the fuse blows again, call an electrician to inspect your wiring. If the fuse does not blow, plug in any appliances you were using. If the fuse blows, there could be a problem with the appliance. There could also be too many appliances plugged into one circuit.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отключите все электрические приборы в том месте, где произошло отключение электропитания. Обесточьте блок предохранителей. Найдите сгоревший предохранитель. Замените предохранитель. Включите основное питание.


If you made your own end caps, set one end of the tube in the center of the paper cap. Fold each of the spokes up towards the tube and adhere it with glue. Allow the glue to dry.  If your tube came with caps, insert one into the tube. You may reinforce the cap with duct tape or rubber bands. Carefully pour the filler into the tube. If the tube’s opening is narrow, you may want to use a funnel. If you chose to use aluminum foil, insert it into the tube before you pour in the filler. Cover the open end with your hand or put in the remaining cap. Tip the rain stick over and listen. If you are happy with the sound, proceed to the next step. If you aren’t quite satisfied, adjust the amount of filler you have in the tube by:  Adding more filler Removing some of the filler Trying a different material Place the cap on top of the tube’s opening. Fold down each spoke onto the outside of the tube and glue. Once the glue is dry, enjoy your new instrument!  When the glue is dry, it will no longer feel tacky to the touch. See the packaging for specific curing instructions. You may reinforce both caps with duct tape or rubber bands.

If you made your own still, your tank is the pressure cooker. Use clean water; it should be ideally filtered or distilled and as soft as possible. If you're using a manufactured still, follow the manufacturer's direction. Otherwise, just make sure you have enough water to complete the distillation. Depending on the plant and on the quantity, distillation can take anywhere from a half-hour to six hours or more after the water boils. Fit as much plant matter as the tank can contain. As long as you have enough water to last without boiling off, your plants should be fine even if they’re packed in tight. Just make sure that they don’t block the steam outlet in the lid of the pressure cooker. Give yourself a couple inches of leeway. You don’t need to chop or otherwise prepare the plant in any way — in fact, doing so will cause you to lose some of the oils. Seal the lid so that the only steam that escapes must travel through the pipe that’s attached to the steam valve. Most plants will release their essential oils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit — the normal boiling point of water. After a while, the distillate should begin to come through your condenser and into your separator. The process should be fairly hands-off, but you want to make sure you don’t run out of water in your still. Depending on the length of the distillation process, you may also need to change the water in the cold-water tub. If the hot pipe warms the water up, replace it with fresh cold water or ice so that the cooling process continues to work. Once your distillation is complete, you might choose filter the oil through cheesecloth or similar dry cotton fabric. Make sure that the cloth is dry and clean — detergent residues and dirt can contaminate the oil. Don’t be disappointed that you get a very small amount of essential oil from a large amount of plant matter. Percent yields vary from species to species, but they’re always lower than a beginning distiller might think. Most essential oils can be kept for at least one or two...

If you need the letter to reach its destination fast, send it by Priority Mail. If you do not need the letter to get there any sooner than three to five business days, send it by First Class Mail. If you aren’t sure what class is right for your letter, ask the attendant at your local Post Office.  To send a letter that weighs less than 13 ounces in a standard envelope to a domestic address by First Class Mail, it will cost $0.49. To send a letter that weighs less than 13 ounces in a standard envelope to a “Zone 1” (local) address by Priority Mail, it will cost $5.75. The price of postage will go up based on the “Zone” or area you are sending the letter to. If you are using sticker stamps, peel the paper off the back of the stamp. If you are using lickable stamps, lick the back of the stamp.  Put the stamp on the top right corner of the envelope. This will allow the postage scanning equipment to read the envelope and process it.  Make sure the address of the sender and the address of the receiver are not covered or obscured by the stamp. Do this by dropping the letter off at your local Post Office, or by putting it in a post box in your area.  You can also put the letter in your home mailbox for your mailman to pick up. Any letters that weigh more than 13 ounces must be mailed at your local Post Office.

If you need to do so, you can handle the butterfly. Simply grab it lightly just above the body with the wings folded together. Unless the butterfly is very delicate, it won't be harmed by this operation. Monarchs, for instance, are sturdy. You can also turn it over to make it calm down. You can store a butterfly in a glassine envelope, which is a stamp or coin envelope. These envelopes are semi-clear, made of a waxy paper. You can also simply use a small triangular envelope.  Make sure to mark any information you need on the outside of the envelope in permanent ink. You may want to use a specimen number or note the date, time, and area you found the specimen. You may also want to note if the specimen was with a partner. If you are going to keep the butterfly alive, you need to transfer it to a cage when you get home. Generally, the best cages for butterflies have netting or screens on the outside. You'll need to provide nectar or sugar water appropriate for the butterfly.  Glass or plastic isn't as good because the butterfly can't walk on it. Some butterflies won't eat at all. However, most eat nectar or sugar water. You can kill the butterfly in the net so it won't damage itself. Simply squeeze the middle body segment (the thorax) hard between your fingers until the butterfly stops struggling. Then you can slip it in an envelope for later.

If you need to get the smell out of a coat or another clothing item that's dry clean only, submerging it in water isn't an option. No rinse cleaner effectively rinses the surface of an item without completely saturating the layers of fabric, so there's less chance of warping. Look in the laundry products section for a "no-rinse wash." It's a concentrated solution that comes in bottles, similar to detergent.  In most cases you'll mix a capful of the no-rinse wash with several liters of water. Pour it into a spray bottle. Spray your musty garment so that all parts of it are slightly damp. Hang the garment to dry outside in the sun and wind. When it dries, the smell should be gone. If it still smells musty, repeat the process. Note that this does require wetting the fabric. Don't use this method on items that shouldn't get wet, like leather or suede. Instead of washing your clothes with baking soda, you can use dry baking soda on your dry clean only garments. Baking soda will absorb the musty smell. You may have to repeat the process more than once for best results.  Lay the garment on a clean surface. Sprinkle it all over with a fine layer of baking soda. Turn it over and do the same. If you don't wish to put baking soda directly on the item try placing the item in a plastic bag next to an open container of baking soda. Let the baking soda sit on the garment overnight. Take it outside and shake it well. Use a soft brush to remove excess baking soda. Hang it outside for the rest of the day. If you don't want to go to the expense of getting a special cleaner, you cause use cheap vodka. Pour some vodka into a spray bottle. Spray the musty item all over, making sure you don't miss a spot. Hang it outside in the sun to dry. This should remove or weaken the musty smell. If no at-home methods successfully remove the musty smell, you may need to take the item to a dry cleaner store. Dry cleaners use powerful chemicals to deodorize fabric, and in most cases they can effectively get rid of mustiness. If you're not...

If you need to spend 10 minutes on getting 2 chords right, then spend 10 minutes on it. It will be worth it in the long run and ignoring a problem part can cause frustration later on when it is the only part you cannot play. This will allow you to identify any places you are still going wrong. Remember to keep coming back to the piece now you can play it, so you don't forget it. If you stop practicing after playing it wrongly, you will remember it incorrectly. By making sure you end on a section you can play, the correct version will stick in your mind, making it easier to play next time.
