Whether your parents allow you to or not, always show maturity and understanding when discussing going to the concert with them. Try to think about things from their point of view, and remember that your safety is the most important thing to them. Concert tickets can be expensive, and buying the ticket yourself will show your parents not only how responsible you are, but also how much you want to go. However, discuss the concert with your folks before you buy the ticket because if they say no after you've bought one, then you might be stuck with an expensive ticket you can't even use! If you don't have enough money to purchase the ticket by yourself, offer to earn the rest of the money by doing chores, babysitting, mowing the lawn, or other helpful tasks. Setting a certain time that you should be home will allow your parents to breathe a little easier knowing that you won't be home too late. It's really not safe to stay out at all hours of the night, so set a curfew and stick to it. Many concerts start later than expected or is listed on the ticket, so be sure to take into consideration how long you think the concert will truly last. Usually, concerts end by 11pm. Take a cellphone with you and be sure to check in with your parents every hour or so. Let them know when you've safely arrived, how the concert is going, and when you're leaving. You won't be able to hear your phone ring during the show, so text your parents and let them know that you'll call once it's over, or you'll text them if you have a problem.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте вежливы и спокойны, убеждая родителей отпустить вас на концерт. Купите билет на концерт самостоятельно. Установите с родителями комендантский час. Скажите родителям, что будете держать их в курсе того, что происходит, в течение всего концерта.


Whether your resume or profiles are scanned by a software and ranked based on relevancy or they are being quickly scanned by human eyes, they must contain industry and job specific keywords.  The more keywords you have throughout, the more qualified for the job you will appear. Do not leave room for assumption! If you have a specific skill that is needed to do the job, make sure to include it. You can determine which exact keywords to include by reading through several job descriptions for the type of position you are seeking, posted by the types of companies you would like to work for. For example, if you are looking for a new sales representative position and you see the words “lead generation” and “closer” frequently, it is best to use these keywords to describe your skills in seeking new customers (lead generation) and making a sale (a closer). In addition to explaining your skills throughout your resume and social media profiles, it is important to highlight the skills that are most relevant to a given position, in list form. As mentioned, it is best to read through the job description of the type of position you are seeking and determine the most relevant skills required to do the job successfully. Then, list these skills in your resume or profile (provided they are true).   Skills listed in your resume: Add this list of skills and keywords towards the beginning of your resume, before your "experience" section. Skills listed should be one or two words in bullet format such as “Closer” and “Problem Solver”.  Skills listed in your social media profile: Many profiles already have a section for you to list your skills. Some even have a drop down menu for you to utilize. As with listing these skills on your resume, use relevant keywords that you have determined from the job description. Be sure to add both hard and soft skills to your resume and profiles.  Hard skills are the teachable skills you have to do the job successfully, such as cold calling or using the customer relationship management system. Soft...

Whether your sibling is struggling with school, work, or personal issues, they can benefit from their sister's love and assistance. If they ask you for help, assist them in any way that you can.  Don't wait for your sibling to ask you for help. If they seem like they're struggling, reach out to them. You can say, "Hey, is everything ok? Is there anything I can do to help?" Sometimes your sibling may not want you to interfere. Respect their decision, but state that you will be there if they change their mind. You can say, “I understand. Just let me know if you ever do want my help.” Don't hold back on noticing your sibling's skills and accomplishments. Let them know when they have made you proud or what you admire about them.  If you know your sibling is insecure about something, lift their spirits by admiring them. For example, if your brother is worried about getting into college, you can say, “You've been working so hard! No matter what ends up happening, I know you'll do well.” Congratulate them on them on their accomplishments. For example, if a sibling wins an award, let them know how proud you are. Give them examples of how their good qualities influence and impact you in positive ways. Let them know when they do things that inspire you. For example, if your sibling kept trying at an activity they struggled with, tell them that they inspired you to keep working at something you found difficult and that you admire that quality about them. When your sibling does a favor for you or if they support you, express gratitude to them. Let them know that you appreciate their presence in your life. For example, you can say, “Thank you so much for always listening when I need to talk. It makes me so happy to know I have a sibling like you.” When things happen in life, talking to a sibling can be a big help. You can get your siblings to open up to you by opening up them first. Be willing to share things and to listen to what they want to share.  Sometimes, a person just needs someone to listen, not to give advice....

TL;DR in Russian:

Помогайте брату или сестре, когда ваш родственник в этом нуждается. Хвалите брата или сестру за хорошие качества, которыми он или она обладает. Благодарите брата или сестру за то, что они делают для вас. Слушайте, когда говорит ваш брат или сестра. Защищайте своего брата или сестру.


Whether you’re one of the first girls in your grade to be getting your period or one of the last, many girls will get their periods eventually. There’s no need to be embarrassed about something that affects many women out there, and which is a natural part of growing up and having a more mature, changing body. Your period is a sign of fertility, and you should be proud about it, not embarrassed. Don’t let anyone tease you about it or let anyone make you feel anything other than proud about your period. Have a chat with your other friends about it. You’ll feel better knowing that you’re not alone in your feelings. A lot of people worry about their periods “smelling” or people being able to tell that they’re on their period. However, your period itself will not smell; what you may smell is the smell of a sanitary pad absorbing blood after a few hours. To counteract this worry, you can change your pad every 2-3 hours or wear a tampon. Some people like to wear scented tampons or pads, but this smell can actually be more powerful than the smell of unscented sanitary napkins, so this can even irritate the vagina. But still, you can decide if this is right for you. You can try out a scented pad or tampon at home before you decide whether or not you’d like to use them in school. Your period shouldn’t be a secret or something you’re embarrassed about. Though you may initially be shy about it, it’s important to tell your mother or father about it as soon as you’ve gotten it. Your mother or another female in your family can help you get the proper supplies, make you feel comfortable, and help you avoid having to sneak around with your period. Remember that many girls have to go through this and tell your parents when it happens; the sooner you tell them, the better you’ll feel.  Your parents will be proud of you for telling them. Your mother may even shed a few tears. If you live alone with your dad, you may be a little shy about telling him. But once you do, it’ll make things a lot easier, and he’ll be glad you were...

Whether you’re using a digital camera or a manual one, make sure the proper settings are in place before you begin your shoot. Take into account the lighting and the effect you’re trying to create.  Most digital cameras have an “automatic” setting. This should be fine in most cases, but make sure that the flash is turned off. You’ve already set up the proper lighting, so there should be no need for a flash. Have a tripod or a flat surface in place. Make sure it’s set at the right angle for professional-looking photos.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте камеру.


While a company's profit is usually defined as its income minus its expenses, these two quantities are usually calculated from multiple sources of income and expenses themselves. Thus, if you're starting from scratch when calculating a business's profit, you may need to work with multiple values for sources of income and expenses, rather than single values for each. In this section, we'll break down a business's income and expenses to calculate profit in piecemeal fashion. Start with your net sales — the amount of money generated by the business from selling its goods and services, minus returns, discounts, and allowances for missing or damaged goods. To illustrate the process of breaking down a business's income and expenses, let's work through an example problem in this section. Let's say that we own a small company that makes high-end sneakers. For this quarter, let's say that we sold $350,000 worth of sneakers. However, due to a recall, we we had to pay out $10,000 in refunds. We also had to  pay $2,000 for unrelated returns and discounts. In this case, our net sales are $350,000 - $10,000 - $2,000 = $338,000. Businesses have to spend money to make money. Products need to be assembled from raw materials, and, because neither the raw materials nor the labor needed to assemble them are free, this means that it costs businesses money to make the products that they sell. This cost is called the cost of goods sold, or COGS. COGS includes the material and labor costs directly tied to the creation of the product being sold, but not indirect expenses like distribution, shipping, and sales force pay. Subtracting COGS from net sales gives a value called gross income.  In our sneaker company example, our company needs to buy fabric and rubber to make its sneakers and also needs to pay factory workers to assemble the raw materials into wearable products. If we say that we spent $30,000 on fabric and rubber and paid our factory workers $35,000 collectively this quarter, our business's gross income is $338,000 -...

While a power bank can be charged at any time, unnecessary charging may decrease its lifespan. Most power banks have 4 LED lights on the side. The lights will shut off as the battery diminishes. Wait to charge your power bank until only 1 or 2 lights are on. Your power bank should have come with a USB cord and wall adapter. Plug the larger end of the USB cord into the wall adapter. Then, plug the smaller end into your power adapter. Leave the power bank to charge. A computer or laptop can also be used to charge a power bank. Connect the smaller end of the USB cord into the power bank. Then, connect the larger end of the USB cord into your computer or laptop's USB drive. It will take longer to charge a power bank on a computer than it would with a wall charger.

While being popular can be fun, you should never put yourself in a situation that makes you uncomfortable just to please others. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, listen to this gut instinct. A negative gut reaction often points to a dangerous situation.  Back out of a situation when you become uncomfortable. Find a way to excuse yourself from a party or even if you get nervous. You can try making up a quick excuse if you do not want to get into a confrontation in the moment. For example, say something like, "Sorry, but I should get going. I'm coming down with a really bad headache." If you're attending an event where drugs or alcohol are being used, it's best to leave. You do not want to be popular at the expense of your own safety. There also may be legal consequences to underage drinking or the use of illegal drugs. If you're pressured into doing anything illegal, find a way to leave the situation fast. If you're going to a party where there may be alcohol or drugs served, plan what to do in the event you're pressured to partake. You can have a trusted friend on call who can help get you out of this situation. Negative peer pressure can often encourage you to bully or ostracize other students. Popular cliques in middle or high school often engage in bullying. Remember, bullying can have serious emotional consequences for the target. Avoid the temptation of gossip and do not be openly (or even not-openly) cruel to other students at your school. If you ever get bullied, go to a website called Stymie to anonymously file a report.  It can be very hard to try to resist negative peer pressure, but remember the benefits. You'll feel better about yourself and you may influence other peers to resist things like bullying and gossip as well. Peer pressure is not always negative. Sometimes, your friends may pressure you into a taking a risk that is worth it. Good friends, for example, will encourage you to submit your poems to that contest or ask your crush on a date. Friends may also expose you to new and...

While each community has its own codes for building chimneys, most codes are based on the National Fire Protection Agencies 211 standard. Go to the NFPA website to review national fire code associated with chimneys. The code is available online for free. This code should guide all aspects of the function of your chimney.   Two general requirements of the 211 standard are that chimneys be at least 3 feet (90 centimeters) taller than the highest point where it goes through the roof of a single structure and 2 feet (60 centimeters) taller than any portion of the building or any adjacent building within 10 feet (3 meters) of the chimney. The taller the chimney, the better it drafts. A chimney also needs at least a 2-inch (5-centimeter) clearance from combustible material if it is built in or through the walls of a house and a 1-inch (2.5-centimeter) clearance if built alongside the house. The most common material for a chimney is brick or masonry, but prefabricated metal chimneys are also widely available. If building a masonry or brick chimney, you will need to figure out how big it will be to estimate how many bricks to order. If using a prefab metal chimney, you will need to measure the distance from your stove, or other appliance, to the location where it is exiting the house.  Masonry chimneys are usually required to have walls at least 4-inches (10-centimeters) thick. Standard chimney bricks should come in this thickness. This will determine whether your chimney can vent multiple appliances or if it will vent only one.   It is possible to build chimneys for several appliances and connect them to a main discharge flue, sized to handle the combined output, provided the subordinate flues for the individual chimneys are not angled more than 30 degrees off vertical and they vent the same type of by-product. In other words, a chimney for a gas range can be combined with one for a gas furnace, but not a wood-burning fireplace. Flues also must not change in shape or size within 6 inches (15 centimeters) above or...

While each publisher or agent may have their own guidelines for formatting, generally you will need to double-space your work. Use a 12-point font such as Times New Roman.  If you don't have guidelines, you should include your name and the title of your work at the top of every page. Always use one-inch margins when submitting work for publication. Whatever you submit to a publisher or agent needs to be pristine. Carefully read through your work to eliminate any typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, or missing words. Edit for conciseness as well. Remove any unnecessary words, phrases, or clichés.  Try reading your entire synopsis out loud to catch any mistakes. You can hire a copyeditor to proofread it for you. Get a friend or professional copyeditor to look over the synopsis for you. They can give you suggestions about what you may need to change before submitting it to an agent or publisher. Do not just send the same synopsis out to every publisher. Instead, identify the submission guidelines of each agent or house, and change the synopsis to fit their guidelines.  For example, one publishing house may require you to cut down your synopsis to one page. In this case, focus on just the main conflict. Another may ask for four pages. In this one, you can go into more detail. If you do not tailor your synopsis to a publisher, they may not read your submission. Usually, the synopsis is part of a proposal that may also include a query letter and a sample of your written work. Every publisher and agent has their own guidelines for these submissions, so read their author submission rules carefully.  A query letter should contain a short summary of your work, a brief paragraph explaining your credentials, and a reason why the agent should accept your submission. A sample may include one or two chapters, one act of a screenplay, or one short story out of a collection. In most cases, it will be the first scene or chapter.

While each state has its own process, nearly every state will require you to fill out an application permitting you to sell firewood.  Obtain the application, fill it out, sign it, and take it to a state forestry office for approval. After being approved, you will likely be issued a stamp or tickets that can be used to label or bundles. Your name will also be added to a list of state-approved vendors. You will need a separate application for each county you harvest wood in and for each separate type of firewood. Since firewood sources and other details can change on a yearly basis, you will need to reapply as a vendor each year. Make sure that you renew your application on time. Typically, the deadline will arrive sometime in early to mid-fall. While some states will allow you to move firewood past state lines when strict conditions are followed, most states strongly discourage it, so it is easier and safer to only sell firewood locally. Firewood easily transports invasive insects. Selling firewood from your state to someone in another state could introduce that pest into another area, thereby spreading the problem. Moreover, since the insect will not be native to that area, there will not be as many natural predators to help reduce the population. Most states will only allow you to sell firewood in full or partial cords. A cord is a stack of firewood measuring 128 cubic feet (39 cubic meters). Similarly, a half cord is 64 cubic feet (19.5 cubic meters) and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet (9.8 cubic meters).  The dimensions of the pile do not need to be precise as long as the total volume equals the correct amount. For instance, the stack could be 4 feet (1.2 meters) wide, 4 feet (1.2 meters) high, and 8 feet (2.4 meters) long, but it could also be 2 feet (0.61 meters) wide, 4 feet (1.2 meters) high, and 16 feet (4.9 meters) long. You are not allowed to sell firewood using terms like "face cord," "rack," "pile," or "truckload." No matter how much firewood you sell, the moment you decide to become a firewood...

While every region of the United States speaks differently, there is a stereotypical form of American English that serves as a solid baseline for American dialects. Generally speaking, use hard vowels and R-sounds by sounding them out more thoroughly. Other forms of English (like British, Irish, and Australian English) tend to blend vowels and R-sounds, while General American English tends to over-enunciate them.  Including a harder R-sound makes words like “card” sound like “kaard” instead “cawd.” Another example would be “other,” which might sound like “oth-a” in British English, but sounds like “uh-ther” in American English. Opting for hard vowels instead of soft vowels makes words like “cut” sound like “khut” in American English, while it might sound like “khat” in British English. While there are several versions of a Southern accent, you can create a general Southern accent by swapping vowel sounds. Turn O-sounds into I-sounds and I-sounds into O-sounds. I-sounds are often drawn out to sound like two E’s in words like “bill,” which makes it sound like “bee-hill.” The reverse is also true: words like “pen” sound like “pin.”  Other examples include “feel” sounding like “fill,” and “think” sounding like “thenk.” Note that, in each example, the E, and the I-sounds are swapped. Swapping the O and I makes words like “hot” sound like “hight,” and words like “like” sound like “lok.” While New York, Boston, and Philadelphia all have unique accents, they all tend to replace A-sounds and O-sounds with “aw” or “uh.” Use the roof of your mouth more than you usually do and use “aw” to replace soft-A sounds and O-sounds for a Northeastern accent. This makes words like “call” and “talk” sound like “kawl” and “tawk,” and words like “off” and “love” sound like “awf” and “lawve.” While the Midwest has a variety of accents, most of them replace short O-sounds with short A-sounds. Play with O-sounds to make them shorter or longer to sound like you’re from the Midwest. The manipulation of O-sounds makes words like “hot”...

TL;DR in Russian:

Задерживайте гласные и R-звуки, чтобы имитировать общий американский диалект. Замените O-, I-и E-звуки, чтобы имитировать южный акцент. Используйте «aw» вместо «al» или «o» для подражания северо-восточному акценту. Говорите так, как будто вы со Среднего Запада, манипулируя О-звуками. Отчетливо выделяйте К-звуки и опускайте T-звуки, чтобы звучать по-калифорнийски.


While extroverts are primarily concerned with what's going on outside themselves, introverts are often preoccupied with their inner world. One way to shift focus is by keeping a journal; commit to a daily writing practice.  Ask yourself questions like:  What did I feel?  Why? What did I learn today?  Who did I learn from? What ideas arrived?  Who did I think about today? How was today different than yesterday? Than last week? Than last year? What can I be grateful for?  Who in my world seems lonely? Why? Imagination and ideas develop from observation of the exterior world. The more you observe outside you, the more you take notice and the more connections you can make from concepts that may not naturally fit together.  When you're by yourself, what do you notice?  What impressions does the world make on you? Creativity could be seen as 'self-absorbed', but a tremendous external focus is involved. Write fictional short stories Create works of art - painting, sculpture, sketching, etc. Use an art journal Write songs Write poetry Such activities will cultivate patience and possibly relieve stress, as well as boredom, during times when you have to be alone. Here are some ideas:  Reading  Knitting, crochet  Programming  Listening to music by yourself Practicing an instrument Taking a solitary walk or hike Whether that means relating to a higher power, meditating or just taking time out of your day to learn something new, any shift or increase in perspective will nurture your introverted side.  Practicing mindfulness and things like Zen driving will also help. Contemplating the mysteries of science (the universe, quantum theory) can also be an intensely introspective experience. . Sometimes solitude and looking inward can seem "boring" to an extrovert, since you're used to drawing energy from external stimuli. Think of learning how to embrace solitude similar to starting a new sport, one that you're not already naturally talented in. At first it's awkward and repetitive, but once you get the hang of it, you'll...

While garlic is generally safe for you to eat, supplementing with garlic isn’t right for everyone. Garlic may interact with certain medications, and it can increase your risk of bleeding if you’re taking blood thinners. Additionally, garlic can trigger heartburn or upset stomach. Talk to your doctor to make sure garlic is right for you. Your bleeding risk may also increase if you take over-the-counter NSAIDs. Let your doctor know about all of the medications you’re taking. While you can typically treat a flu at home because it’s a viral infection, it can cause complications like pneumonia or bronchitis. These conditions can be very serious and often require medical treatment. See your doctor if you’re in 1 of the following high-risk groups: Young children under the age of 6 Older adults over the age of 65 People with weakened immune systems Individuals with chronic illnesses, like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease Pregnant women People who have a BMI over 40

While in a hypoglycemic state, one of the fastest and most effective treatments is to increase your blood sugar levels by consuming simple carbohydrate food sources and sugary foods.  Simple carbohydrates are easily digested and contain large amounts of glucose, which can effectively raise low blood sugar levels. Examples of simple carbohydrates and sugary foods are: saltine crackers, a tablespoons of raisins, a cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of corn syrup, 1 cup of fruit juice, a can of soda (not diet), 3 glucose tablets, 1 serving of glucose gel, 12 teaspoons of corn syrup or honey, hard candies, jellybeans, and gumdrops. This can be applied to the inside of the cheeks.  After application, the outside part of the cheeks should be massaged gently. It may take approximately 10-15 minutes for the gel to work. Do not apply gel when drowsy. Checking the blood sugar level should be done 20 minutes after consuming 15 to 20 mg of fast-acting carbohydrates. This can be performed with the glucometer. Take 15-20 mg more of simple carbohydrates. Eat another four saltine crackers or two tablespoons of raisins, for example. These types of foods help maintain and stabilize blood sugar levels. Examples of complex carbohydrates are:  A cup of oatmeal A sandwich 1 to 2 servings of fruit A glass of soy milk 1 carton of low-fat yogurt 6 biscuits and cheese

While it can be temping to tell your best friend about your feelings over text or through a phone call, it’s better to talk to them in person. This helps show that you’re serious about your feelings, and you can gauge your best friend’s reaction more easily when you’re face-to-face. Talk to your best friend when you’re together on a casual outing, such as at the park or eating a meal. Write out specific things you want to tell your best friend when you're sharing your feelings, or even just think about what you might say in your head beforehand. Preparing some specific things to say will help you feel more relaxed and confident when you have the real conversation. Practice what you'd like to say in front of a mirror to help you feel more confident if you're super nervous. Telling your best friend that you like them during a commercial break or right before they need to go isn’t a good idea. Pick a moment where you’re both comfortable and have nowhere to rush off to, such as in the evening or during the weekend.  For example, you might choose to talk to them Friday after school so they have the whole weekend to think about their own feelings. Telling them right before school or really quickly in between activities might cause them to feel overwhelmed. Plan to have enough time to not only tell your best friend how you feel, but to allow them time to think and respond if they’d like to. Pick a spot to talk that isn't very public, like in a park or a secluded part of school. It’s also best to talk to your best friend away from family and friends so that neither of you feels awkward or like people are listening to your conversation. Instead of having the conversation at a loud and crowded restaurant, think about taking a walk with your best friend and telling them then. Start a conversation by talking about things you would normally talk about, such as school, homework, or extracurricular activities. Once you're both feeling comfortable, let them know you have something you'd like to share with them. Be open and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Договоритесь о личной встрече. Заранее обдумайте свои слова. Выберите такой момент, когда у друга будет время обдумать ваши слова. Отойдите в сторону, чтобы поговорить наедине. Начните обычный разговор. Подчеркните важность дружбы. Скажите другу, что ему не обязательно отвечать прямо сейчас.


While it is possible to crack a smile when you’re in a bad mood, smiling under these circumstances can sometimes make people wary of you because they can tell the smile isn’t authentic. Offer a genuine smile to others whenever possible.  To ensure that your smile is genuine, don't smile when you just aren't feeling it. If you do, it will give others the impression that you can't be trusted. Remember how it feels when you do crack a genuine smile. Try to regain that feeling each time you smile. Even if you aren’t in the best mood, think of something that truly makes you happy before you smile. That can often lead to a genuine smile. A genuine smile comes from being happy and positive. Be happy that things are going well for the person you're talking to, that someone's joke is funny, or that you're about to eat your favorite food.  Even when you aren't feeling cheerful, you can still find reasons to smile. Focus on the positive things that are going on in your life and it will be easier to smile. When you're dealing with a person or situation that makes you feel ambivalent and you're not sure whether a smile or not, err on the side of smiling – find one thing that is positive about the person or situation and use that to create your smile. Think about someone you care about, such as the person in front of you, or something that you genuinely love to do. It's much easier to produce a natural, easy-going smile when you focus on the people or things that you love. If you find yourself in a situation where it’s important to smile and you aren’t necessarily feeling it at the moment, it helps to have a mental list of people and things that you love to run through in your head to make it easier to smile. When you’re having fun or enjoying yourself, it’s always easier to smile. See life as an adventure and allow your inner to the child to play by engaging in games, sports, and other leisure activities. When you’re playing a game or participating in an activity with friends and family, avoid getting overly competitive....

While it may be tempting to force a nervous cat to come out of hiding, this will not build a better relationship with the cat. Instead, if you can tempt the cat out of hiding, you are putting the ball in the cat's court so to speak, basically having it make the decision to interact. If the cat has places it feels safe, then perhaps it will feel less stressed and it will make the cat feel more secure when it does venture out. While you want to make sure the cat can hide itself a bit, you also need to make sure that there are no hazards around it. Be especially sure that the cat cannot escape! Don't force your affection onto a high strung cat. It can be totally frustrating to care for a cat that doesn't trust you or care to hang out with you, but you need to keep focused on developing your long-term relationship with the cat. Forcing the cat to do something it doesn't want to do will only make it more distrustful of you. Provide the cat with toys and equipment, such as a cat tower, that will make it happier and more fulfilled. While a skittish cat may be a little afraid of you, it may overcome that fearfulness to play with you or to receive a treat. Contentment will only make it more likely that the cat will overcome its shyness and become comfortable with you. Some cats are naturally reserved or have experienced trauma that makes them fearful. While it's important to try to make your cat happy and content, it may not be able to overcome all neuroses. Make a concerted effort to socialize your cat but don't think of it as a personal failure if your cat doesn't want to snuggle with you all the time. Food is a powerful motivator for a cat, so if it knows that you are the source of its food it may be more inclined to show you affection. If the cat is severely high strung, feeding time may be the only time you can get near it. Hang out near the cat's food dish, making sure that you are far enough from the dish that the cat will actually eat but that your presence is acknowledged by the cat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Создайте для нервной кошки укромные места, где она чувствовала бы себя в полной безопасности. Предоставьте кошке определенную долю свободы. Стимулируйте физическую активность питомца и предоставляйте пищу для его ума. Помните о том, что нервная кошка может чувствовать напряжение в вашем присутствии. Сделайте так, чтобы животное видело, что именно вы кормите его.


While it may be tempting to wear minimal clothing to beat the heat during outdoor activities in the summer, exposing that much skin to the sun will result in tanning and possibly sunburn.  Keep in mind that densely woven, lightweight fabrics will provide protection and shade the skin while running, biking, playing golf, and other outdoor activities. Depending on the type of outdoor activity you are participating in, different measures can be taken to increase protection against harmful UV rays.  Golf:  With long hours on the course and increased UV reflections from the ponds and sand traps, you experience higher exposure to UV rays.  Be sure to always wear a broad-brimmed hat (not a visor or a baseball hat!) and sunglasses, along with long pants or longer shorts and a shirt that minimally covers your shoulders and upper arms. Tennis, Running, and Hiking:  Due to the excessive perspiration that accompanies these activities, participants are at an increased risk of sweating off their sunscreen.  Because of this, reapplication of sunscreen is not enough protection, and clothing and hats with a UPF of 30 or higher are necessary to provide extra defense from prolonged sun exposure. Biking:  Because of the posture your body is in while riding a bike, the back of the neck, the forearms, and the upper thighs receive much more sun exposure than the rest of the body.  To avoid tanning or sunburn during a long bike ride, wear to-the-knee bike shorts, long sleeves, and a wide-brimmed hat and/or cover your neck with the collar of a shirt or a bandana. Sailing and Swimming:  These activities have some of the highest UV exposure levels due to excessive reflection of UV rays off of the water.  In addition to protective clothing and liberal reapplication of sunscreen, sailors and swimmers are recommended to choose sunscreen brands that include zinc oxide or titanium dioxide because they block and reflect UV rays better than other types of sunscreen ingredients that absorb UV rays. It’s easy to forget to reapply sunscreen when...

While it may seem helpful to learn two similar languages at once, such as Spanish and Italian, this can result in some confusion if you're not careful. If you have a choice in which languages you learn, choose languages that are different from one another to avoid blending them into one combined language in your mind, or mixing up words or grammar.  If you are studying similar languages, avoid studying them in the same study session—separate them by studying them on different days or even on alternating weeks.  However, for some people, learning similar languages helps them remember each one better. You can make connections between the two languages that will help you understand each one better. If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know, while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar.  For English speakers, Romance languages such as Spanish, Italian, and French tend to be easier to learn.  Languages from the Germanic family, such as German, Dutch, and Swedish, also tend to be easier to learn for English native speakers since English is also a Germanic language. If you decide to learn a Germanic language, you'll find that there are many words similar to their English equivalents. Slavic languages, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish are often challenging for native English speakers due to some unfamiliar grammar concepts. Many Slavic languages use an alphabet called Cyrillic, which isn't very hard to learn. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are some of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn, due to different sentence structures and different character sets.  Uralic languages, such as Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian, also tend to be difficult for native English speakers, since they have little connection to Indo-European languages (which includes Germanic, Romance, Slavic, and...

While it might seem that a big tank would only mean more work, the opposite is the case. Small tanks get dirty quicker and thus require more regular maintenance. The larger your aquarium the better. It will keep your fish happier and save you energy.  20-gallon tanks are the minimum size you should consider and will be too small for many fish. Semi-aggressive fish, for example, need additional space to prevent fights. Consult with an expert about how much space your fish requires..  You might be required to assemble the aquarium. Follow the instructions on the box, because these will vary from tank to tank. Be sure that the tank comes with a lid. Many fish like to jump and can leap out of the aquarium if you aren’t careful. You should also have a light that you leave on for approximately 12 hours a day and leave off the other half of the day. These come standard with most, but not all, aquariums. These are important for keeping the aquarium at the appropriate temperature for your fish and for cleaning waste out of the water. There are many models for filters. It is principally important that you get one that is designed to a filter a tank as large as the one that you have picked out.  You should also refrain from buying an undergravel filter if you are using a fine substrate, like sand. Certain types of fish can be hurt by gravel and require a sand substrate. A heater is especially important if you plan to keep tropical fish, because these prefer warm water. You will need to place your aquarium on something and most household items—desks and tables included—are not strong enough to accommodate a large tank. Unless you want to have a very expensive, fishy mess on your floor, you should buy a stand specifically designed for an aquarium of your size. Similarly, it is a very bad idea to leave the aquarium on the floor. This will all but inevitably lead an accident. Furthermore, you won’t have much fun looking at your fish if they’re on the ground. A tank should be placed far away from places in the house that...

While it's nice to think of grief as a process, that's not how it works. Your emotions can vary, and you may find yourself going in and out of the grieving process. Give yourself permission to feel your emotions and time to come to terms with what happened. It might take awhile for you to figure out what works for you. Things will start to get better in time. After you learn that your loved one died by suicide you may withdraw from friends and family members. Others may cause a stronger emotional reaction of guilt or blame. Remember that these people may be just as upset by the death as you. Rather than isolating yourself spend more time with those who also loved this person. Doing so may offer you comfort. As you congregate together and try to comfort one another, take the time to recall the good days you had with the deceased person. Dwelling on the hows and whys of the suicide (while understandable) won't lead to peace. Recounting your fond memories may bring you back to a time when this person was happy. You may choose to remember them that way. As soon as you feel able, try to return to your usual routine. Doing this will be very hard at first. Even getting dressed or cleaning your home might be painstaking activities. No, things will never be "normal" again, but establishing your routine again may help you gain a sense of purpose and structure. When you are mourning a loved one's death, it can be easy to forget meals. Taking care of yourself is probably the last thing on your mind. However, eating a few balanced meals each day will give you the strength to persevere through this ordeal. Exercising - even if it is only walking your dog around the block - can help reduce the sadness or anxiety you feel and improve your mood. As you develop your routine, include meal-planning and exercise into your schedule so that you can properly nourish your body during this stressful time. All the upsetting thoughts and feelings associated with your loved one's suicide can cause you to feel sad, anxious, or even...

While it's not your party, you're the one in charge of making it a success. As the MC, it's your job to keep the event moving forward in a timely manner, keeping to the schedule and helping as best you can. Because of this, you need to be involved in the planning process, not so much to make decisions, but to make sure that you're aware of the order of events and the time frame in which the events need to occur. The night belongs to the bride and groom, but it's your job to help it happen without any problems. The bride, groom, and other members of the wedding party will typically have something called a "run sheet" which will be a detailed itinerary of the various events. Get your schedule ahead of time and keep it on you during the day. Be the militant one. The MC of the wedding is basically the host and communications person of the event. When is it time for tables to approach the buffet line? In what order should they approach the table? Where should presents be placed? When and where will the garter toss commence? These are things you're going to have to know and announce as the MC of the wedding. Distinguish between things you'll need to announce into the microphone and things that might be ok to say to everyone as they come in the door, or by going around table-to-table and talking to everyone. If you label the presents table, for instance, you won't need to make a big to-do of announcing it every five minutes when people come in. To make sure no one from the bridal party or their immediate family has to spend a bunch of time wrangling the catering staff, that's generally going to be the responsibility of the MC. Introduce yourself to the cooks, the servers, the DJ, and anyone else who's going to be directly involved with the evening. Hear them out and accommodate their needs, as well. What happens if the catering group is understaffed? What happens if Uncle Phil's keg of wedding beer runs dry? What if the PA goes on the fritz just as everyone's ready to start dancing? Bus tables! Beer run! iPod dock!...

While it’s possible to waterproof just about any kind of shoe, you’ll get the best results with a more absorbent fabric. The wax you’ll be using will settle nicely into the woven fibers of fabric shoes. On materials like leather or synthetics, it will simply form a coat on the surface which is likely to wear off much faster. Canvas, hemp, suede, and other textured materials will make the best candidates for waterproofing. There are many different brands and styles to choose from, but they all do essentially the same thing. The most important ingredients you're looking for are silicone or acrylic polymers, which help block water and prevent mold, mildew, and general water-related deterioration. Waterproofing sprays can be found in most shoe stores, as well as shops that specialize in outdoor clothing and equipment. Hold the can 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) away from the shoe and mist on a light, even coating. Make sure you cover every part of the shoe where moisture might get in, including the seam where the upper connects to the outsole. Don't saturate it. Instead, look for the spray to just glisten once it's settled on the surface.  Hang up the shoe if possible This will allow you to accurately target the top half of the shoe without accidentally spraying your hand. To decrease your exposure to noxious fumes, work in a well-ventilated area. Outdoors is ideal, but if that isn't an option, you can also turn on the overhead fan. It may take two or more coats to make materials with irregular textures like suede or nubuck fully water-resistant. Go over the entire shoe lightly. Try not to use so much pressure that you soak up the wet waterproofing spray—a few quick dabs will do.  Avoid paper towels. The shedding fibers will get trapped in the sticky spray, effectively becoming a part of the material. Be sure to remove as much of the spray as you can from the surrounding outsole, as well as accents like zippers, eyelets, and rubberized detailing. Most sprays will dry to the touch within 20-30 minutes, but for guaranteed...

While lying on your side, place a U-shaped, full length, or wedge-shaped pillow underneath your belly. This will help support your belly, as well as your back muscles while you sleep. Wrap your legs and arms around a U-shaped or full length pillow. The center of the pillow should be supporting your belly. This position is akin to hugging or cuddling the pillow. Placing the pillow between your legs and arms will help relieve tension in your knee and ankle joints. Wrap a C, U, or J-shaped pillow along your back and between your legs. This position will give your lower and upper back, as well as your pelvis, support while you sleep. If you are uncomfortable sleeping on your back, these pillows will prevent you from rolling on your back while you sleep as well. You can also place a wedge-shaped pillow behind your back to support your lower back. Place a wedge-shaped pillow underneath your regular pillow to support your head and neck. This position will help relieve symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn. If you are using a C, U, or J-shaped pillow, keep your spine aligned by placing your head and neck on the pillow as if you are using a regular pillow.

While many people have heard that fish require a "pinch" of flake food each feeding, giving them too large a pinch can give the fish digestive problems or make the tank dirty and unhealthy. Whatever type of dry food you are using, only put in as much food as your fish can eat in 3 to 5 minutes. If you put too much food in the tank, scoop it out with a fine net.  Warning: Betta fish should be fed much less than they can eat in 5 minutes. Two or three small pellets per betta is sufficient. Because many aquarium fish have small stomachs, pellets that absorb water and expand in size may cause digestive problems or bloating in your fish. Soak the pellets in water for 10 minutes before feeding so they expand before the fish eat it, rather than in the fish's stomach. Because it is much easier to overfeed most fish than to give them too little food, one feeding a day may be safer. However, if you are careful to give them small amounts of food as described above, you may feed the fish twice a day. Some aquarium owners prefer this because the fish become more active and interesting to watch during feeding. If a trail of poop is hanging from your fish, their intestine may be partially blocked due to overfeeding or the wrong type of food. If the water gets dirty enough that you need to do a water change more than once a week, you may be overfeeding the fish, or the tank may be overcrowded. Reduce the amount of food per serving or the number of servings per day to see if the problem goes away within a few days. Ask an aquarium store employee or fish raising hobbyist for advice if it does not. Even within the same species, the larger or more aggressive fish may not leave enough food for the other fish. Reduce the chance of this happening by dividing the food and adding it to more than one area of the tank, or by sprinkling it evenly across the entire water surface. If you have fish in your tank that feed in different areas of the tank, or on different types of food, you will likely need to purchase more than one fish food....

While most of Christianity celebrates the Sabbath on Sunday, the Jewish tradition from which Christianity came celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday, or the seventh day of the week. There are arguments for and against both days.  Originally, the Sabbath was issued as a day to remember the blessings of creation as well as the original covenant between God and man during the time of Moses. Scripture indicates that God rested on the seventh day, which would be Saturday, and that the day itself is holy for that reason: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it" (Exodus 20:11). Scripture also explains that the Sabbath should be kept holy as a sign of the covenant God made with His people when they were led out of Egyptian captivity: "And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day" (Deuteronomy 5:15).  Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday, which is the main reason Christians have for switching the Sabbath day to Sunday. When Christ rose from the dead, a "new covenant" was made, and the day marking that covenant's significance is Sunday. Another major controversy surrounding the Sabbath is whether or not Christians are still required to keep it. While some view it as a necessity, others insist that the need has been abolished.  While there are many arguments for and against keeping the Sabbath, the underlying controversy seems to be the issue of whether or not that part of the "old covenant" was abolished when Christ fulfilled the law and became the "new covenant."  Those against the Sabbath argue that the command for a Sabbath was part of Mosaic law and the "old covenant." Since many other rules of the "old covenant" are no longer deemed necessary by Christianity, as evidenced by Paul's argument in Galatians 5 than...

While most varieties of household soaps are a poor fit for automobiles, Ivory soap is designed to be especially gentle. It contains mild acids that will eat away at sun-baked splatters without harming the paint underneath.  Ivory soap is available in liquid or bar form, and can be found at most major supermarkets or drug stores. To treat your car’s finish with a solid bar of soap, rub the soap into damp cloth until it begins to bubble, then use the cloth to scrub the affected area. Mix a couple tablespoons of baking soda with water to form a paste. Spread the paste over small areas littered with dried insects and leave it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Once time is up, wipe away the baking soda paste with a microfiber towel, then rinse and dry. Baking soda is another item most people keep in their homes that can be used to safely and effectively lift stains on a vehicle’s exterior. Spray the spot very lightly with WD-40 and leave it to take effect for 1-2 minutes. You can then simply wipe away the insects using a clean cloth. This makes a handy solution for busting bug spots when you’re unable to give your car a proper wash or wax.  Oils like WD-40 are formulated to cut through grease and other types of resilient residue, which makes it perfect for dealing with crusty gunk. As an added bonus, WD-40 is useful for reducing the appearance of scratches in a car’s paint. If insects are piled on so thick that other methods fail to remove them, or they’ve had a long time to become cemented into place, you can use a very fine steel wool (#000 grade is optimal) to wear them down. This will require you to work slowly and cautiously, but with a steady hand it’s practically guaranteed to erase even the most maddening messes.  Focus on a small area and use as little pressure as possible. This is only recommended as a worst case scenario solution. If you’re not careful, you could easily leave scratches on your car.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обработайте стойкие пятна мылом Ivory. Прочистите пятно содой. Используйте WD-40 для размягчения расплющенных насекомых. Счистите крупный налет проволочной мочалкой.


While not a hard and fast rule, a cockatiel that learns to talk is usually a male. Whether or not they learn any phrases, males tend to be more vocal and spend more time whistling, whereas females tend to be quieter, and favor hissing and screeching more often the males. Male cockatiels are more likely to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror, strutting, calling, or investigating it. If your bird loses interest quickly, it's more likely the bird is a female. Male cockatiels are generally the ones actively trying to woo a partner, but they will sometimes exhibit these behaviors even without another bird around:  Tapping his beak loudly against objects to get a female's attention. Strutting around while whistling or beak tapping, involving hopping motions and/or quick head dips. Wing tips lifted away from body, forming a heart shape when viewed from behind Females are generally less active leading up to bonding or mating, and typically do not display these behaviors unless a male is present:  Sitting on a low perch, peeping quietly, with her tail up in the air. Attempting to feed the male cockatiel she has bonded with or is trying to bond with. Most experienced bird owners have noticed a bird rubbing its vent (bottom) on perches, objects, or even its owner's hand. Some birds will do so daily or even more frequently. This type of habitual masturbation is most commonly seen in males, but there are exceptions.  Male masturbation generally involves humping the object or standing over it and rubbing its vent on it. Female masturbation can be similar, but could also involve backing up against an object with the tail up and body bent forward. It's no surprise that only females lay eggs, but this won't help you if you discover an egg in a cage with multiple birds. If you want to be certain of the sex identification, provide each bird with a separate cage and nesting box, or point a video camera on the nesting box to record future behavior.  Females under 18 months should not be given a nesting box, as egg-laying...

While not always necessary for identification, ant behavior does vary by species. Write down where you found the ants, and what they were eating or collecting if anything. Note whether the ants are all the same size and shape, or whether some are significantly larger than others. Optionally, you may observe how they carry food, how fast they run, their trail pattern, or even the postures they strike when disturbed. Most of these details will not be covered in this guide, but they may help later if you narrow down the identification to a couple species and need to perform a little outside research. Tweezers or more precise, but the end of a cloth or brush dampened with rubbing alcohol or ethanol will also work. You may drop the ant in a plastic bag, seal it, and freeze it for 24 hours. Alternatively, drop the ant in a small jar with a shallow layer of alcohol, and examine after a few minutes. Identifying a specific ant species requires close examination of tiny body parts. A 10x or 15x lens should be strong enough, but you can use a microscope on low magnification if you happen to have one. A pair of tweezers will again be useful for investigation, for adjusting the ant's position.

While researchers have identified some correlations between certain factors and the development or triggering of schizophrenia, the exact cause of schizophrenia is still unknown. Discuss your family history and medical background with your doctor or mental health provider. Schizophrenia is at least partially genetic. Your risk for developing schizophrenia is about 10% higher if you have at least one “first-degree” family member (e.g., parent, sibling) with the disorder.  If you have an identical twin with schizophrenia, or if both of your parents have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, your risk of developing it yourself is more like 40-65%. However, about 60% of people who are diagnosed with schizophrenia do not have close relatives who have schizophrenia. If another family member -- or you -- has another disorder similar to schizophrenia, such as a delusional disorder, you may be at higher risk for developing schizophrenia. Infants who are exposed to viruses, toxins, or malnutrition while in the womb may be more likely to develop schizophrenia. This is especially true if the exposure happened in the first and second trimesters.  Infants who experience a lack of oxygen during birth may also be more likely to develop schizophrenia. Infants who are born during a time of famine are more than twice as likely to develop schizophrenia. This may be because malnourished mothers cannot get enough nutrients during their pregnancy. Some studies have shown a correlation between the age of the father and the risk for developing schizophrenia. One study showed that children whose fathers who were 50 years old or older when they were born were 3 times as likely to develop schizophrenia as those whose fathers were 25 years old or younger. It is thought that this may be because the older the father is, the more likely his sperm is to develop genetic mutations.

While scabies is a common condition, it can resemble other skin conditions and may be hard to identify. If you aren’t sure that what you have is scabies, visit your doctor for an official diagnosis before treating yourself. Otherwise, you may aggravate your condition.For instance, you may have eczema or dermatitis. While natural treatments may work, you’ll likely need medical treatment. If your condition isn’t improving, go to your doctor to get additional treatment. This will help you make a full recovery. Your doctor may prescribe 1 of the following treatments:  5% permethrin cream Ivermectin 10% crotamiton cream 25% benzyl benzoate lotion Sulfur (5%-10%) ointment 1% lindane lotion While natural treatments are generally safe, they’re not right for everyone. They can interact with medications you’re taking and may worsen some conditions. Talk to your doctor to make sure natural treatments are safe for you.Tell your doctor about the treatments you plan to use and that you’re treating your scabies.

While schools may be able to monitor your uniform, there's less regulation when it comes to your physical appearance. Neon colors and distracting cuts may be outlawed, but there's no harm in changing your hair natural hair color or getting a style cut. Keeping your hair maintained and trimmed makes you look more polished and cool. This can be useful for both guys and girls. Take a look at some celebrities your age and get hair styling ideas from them. Make sure your shower every day and keep everything clean, including under your fingernails. Keep your fingernails trimmed and maintained. Try using perfume or cologne to enhance the aroma around you. Try not to let it chip. If you use a base coat and a top coat, it makes your nail color last longer without chipping. Keep reapplying a top coat every day or every other day to keep the paint from chipping. If you're old enough to grow it, facial hair can be a cool way to stand out. Don't let it grow to shaggy or overgrown. Keep it maintained and trimmed for a polish, clean look. Untrimmed facial hair could be in violation of the dress code and uniform policy. If a teacher sees your mane unkempt, they could ask you to shave at school.

While sound advice for any gift you receive, the thank you note has an added importance for those gifts you couldn't stand. It will put to bed some (if not all) of the worry the gift-giver might've had about your attitude towards the gift (or the giver having gifted it). Send it a week or so after you received the gift. As with receiving it, mention the thought behind the gift more than the gift itself. Be non-specific as to your involvement with the gift after the fact, possibly nothing more than "I'm enjoying it."  "Thanks so much for coming over and spending some time. I can't believe you put all that effort into knitting something for me--thanks again." "Just wanted to send my thanks for coming over the other night. So glad you went out of your way to get me a gift, happy to have another CD for my collection." If you're truly aiming to deal with the gift outright, you can always pass it along. A caution, however: don't get caught doing this. Even if you were straightforward about your feelings from the outset, it's thought of as tacky and insincere to pass along a gift already gifted. At the very least, make sure the person to whom you're passing it along to will appreciate it greatly. Your only defense in a situation like this is to insist--honestly--that you've given it to someone who could really enjoy it. Either that or donate it to charity. Usually, the anxiety and awkwardness associated with the moment of gift-giving is unique to that moment. In time most come to appreciate the scope of the gift and realize (as you should) that it was truly the thought that counted. So if you weren't forthright from the beginning, don't be afraid to let your feelings be known after the fact if pressed on the issue.  Tell them you gave the gift a try, but didn't like it. Pretend as though this was as much a surprise to you as it is to them hearing it. Do your best to make light of the situation, but never seem as though you regret receiving a gift.

While symptoms alone cannot provide an accurate diagnosis, you can test for the symptoms elsewhere in this article in order to provide your doctor a complete case of your symptoms. The first thing your doctor would do if you came in asking about PD is perform a physical exam, and you can look for some of the same signs they would look for.  Rest your hand in your lap and look for tremor. Unlike most other forms of tremor, the tremor associated with Parkinson's is worse when you are at rest. Note your posture. Most people with Parkinson's usually stand slightly bent forward, with the head down and the elbows flexed. Ultimately a diagnosis can only come from your doctor. Make an appointment and tell them your case history and concerns. If your physician thinks PD is among the potential causes, then they will likely run a few tests to help determine the diagnosis.  Note that Parkinson’s Disease is not difficult to diagnose, except in the very early stages. There is no single test your doctor will perform. Instead, your doctor may run other tests to eliminate other conditions that lead to similar symptoms as Parkinson’s (such as stroke, hydrocephalus, or benign essential tremor). The condition that most often mimics PD is essential tremor, which often runs in families and is most marked with the hands outstretched. Your doctor may also refer you to a neurologist, which is a doctor who specializes in conditions of the nervous system. The first thing your doctor will do is give you a physical exam looking for a variety of different indicators:  Is your expression animated? Do you show signs of a tremor with your arms at rest? Do you exhibit rigidity in your neck or limbs? How easily can you stand up from a sitting position? Do you have a normal gait, and do your arms swing symmetrically as you walk? When given a small push, are you quickly able to resume your balance? Imaging tests, such as MRI, ultrasound, SPECT, and PET scans, are not usually very helpful in diagnosing Parkinson's. However, in some cases your...

Проверьте симптомы в домашних условиях. Посетите врача. Пройдите общий медицинский осмотр. При необходимости провести дополнительные тесты соглашайтесь на них. Оцените свою восприимчивость к лечению.


While talent can be important when it comes to doing things well, the real determinate is practice. It doesn't matter how talented you are. If you don't practice, you're simply not going to be as good at something, as you could have been. In fact, in many cases, people who are naturally talented at something, so worse in the long run, because they feel like they don't have to practice.  Set aside specific time each day that's devoted to practicing your talent. For example, if writing is your talent, set aside a half hour before work every morning to get up and write. If your talent is basketball, get out there and practice on the court. Focus on the areas that you're less talented in. Even if you have a talent, it doesn't mean that you're going to be talented at every aspect of something. For example, you might have a talent for capturing dialogue, but struggle to create a coherent plot. Talented or not, negative thinking can stop up your abilities quicker than anything else. The more you combat your negative thinking, the easier it will be to discover and develop your talent, because you won't be constantly second guessing yourself.  Identify your thought patterns. The first step towards combating negativity is to notice when you're doing, and what you're doing. Perhaps you only allow the bad things into your mind (this is called filtering), or you tend to catastrophize everything. Notice how you think about yourself, about situations, and about your talent (do you for instance place undue importance on your talent?). Check in with your thinking every day. You have to be vigilant about your own thinking before you can work towards changing it. When you catch yourself catastrophizing ("I'm a failure because I keep forgetting to turn in my library books"), stop and identify the thought as what it is. Practice positive or neutral self-talk. The trick is to replace your negative thinking with positive or neutral thinking. So for example, when you start to think that you're a failure because you're having...

While the machine is rebooting, repeatedly press the F10 key on your keyboard until the machine boots. This will take you into the partition offering you options for repair or restore (reformatting and reloading). The beauty of this system is that you don't have to do anything else. The restore partition will completely run the program to format, reload the OS, install drivers and install all of the original software that came with your laptop. This process will usually take around 30 minutes to complete.

TL;DR in Russian:

Перезагрузите ноутбук. Выберите вариант установки новой операционной системы. Дождитесь завершения процесса установки.


While the milk heats, make your mix. Combine 1.5 teaspoons of instant coffee with ¾ to 1 tablespoon of sugar in a coffee mug. Then add ½ to a ¾ teaspoon of water. Beat the mix with a spoon for about five minutes, until it turns light brown. If you have instant espresso, try substituting a ½ teaspoon of the regular coffee with a ½ teaspoon of espresso. Pour 1 cup (237 ml) of milk into a pot. Set the pot on a burner. Turn the burner to medium-high. Wait for it to bubble and rise. Alternately, use a microwave. If you do, keep an eye on it and remove the milk as soon as it reaches a boil. Pour it into your cup. Then stir to mix and work up a froth. Sprinkle some coffee granules over the froth if desired, and enjoy!

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте кофе. Нагрейте молоко. Добавьте подогретое молоко.


While the number of flowers will vary based on the length of the lei and personal preference, most money leis require anywhere from 40 to 60 flowers. Based on that amount, determine how many bills of what denomination you need to create the lei. If you need extra flowers, you can create more from paper and intermix them with the money. A typical money lei could, for example, consist of 30 $1 bills and 30 paper flowers, 50 $1 bills or even 20 $5 bills and 20 flowers. The variety and amount is up to you. Continue folding 1/2-inch strips in alternating directions until you have folded all the way across the bill. Your bill should have the appearance of an accordion.

Определитесь с суммой денег, которую вы планируете подарить. Повторяйте действия.


While these people often are the source of a lot of frustration, pain, and hurt, remember that they are human, too. Despite these people often being very hard to love, it is for this reason they are in special need of empathy, care, and respect.  Do not excuse negative behavior, but be willing to share love and compassion with a fellow human. Many people that grow up to show sociopathic tendencies were  subjected to childhood verbal, physical and/or sexual abuse. Many experienced chaotic or unstable families while growing up, or the loss of a parent. While this is not an excuse for behavior, it can allow you to have compassion on a person who has had a difficult or traumatic childhood and had to find other less-adaptive ways to survive.  Remember, however, that sociopaths are completely aware of their behavior and effects on others. An abusive past is not an excuse for bad behavior. Also be careful in what a sociopath says about their past if it cannot be confirmed. Sociopaths will often lie or blur the truth about themselves, and stating they were abused or dealt with trauma can be used to garner sympathy.   Note that you need to have firm, appropriate boundaries. For most people, the way to fully heal damage to a relationship is to trust again. However, with sociopaths that may be very unwise. Forgive and move on, but be careful not to put yourself in a situation where you can be very vulnerable. While sociopaths do not necessarily cause harm, because they do not feel remorse, guilt, or the like, there is a high likelihood they will repeat the hurtful behavior. Showing empathy and forgiveness is good...but keep in mind that acting in such a way will not in any way mean they will feel any remorse, guilt, or have a change of heart at all. This is especially hard if a person with sociopathic tendencies is in your family. You want to love and accept the person, but without enabling them to hurt or manipulate other people. Let the person know you are unwilling to enable their lifestyle or contribute to them...

While this method is not difficult, it can be time-consuming to see results. Cactus seeds could take up to a year to germinate and several years for the young cactus to begin to flower. Unless you have a heated greenhouse, it's best to sow cactus seed in the late spring. Seed companies often offer many mixed varieties of cacti seed. Use clean sterilized shallow pots to begin your seeds. Use a mixture of potting soil and sand. Place the seeds on the soil and cover them with just enough sand to anchor them. Keep in mind that cactus seeds don't germinate well if they have been sown too deeply. Dampen the soil enough to wet the seed. When the soil dries out completely, use a mister to keep it moist. Do not over water. Cover seeds with glass or plastic wrap and be sure to wipe away any condensation that may form. When seedlings appear, remove the cover. Carefully prick apart any seedlings that have grown together. Place the seedlings in light, but not in direct sunlight. Keep temperatures around 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Allow the cuttings to dry and its cut edge to heal for a couple of weeks. Place the healed cutting into a rooting medium formulated to encourage roots to grow. Make certain the cutting is right-side up. If placed upside down, it will not grow. After a week, begin to water the cutting sparingly. Avoid plants with damaged spines or those that look bruised, spindly, or lopsided. Read the directions that come with the plant or speak to a professional about the best way to care for the type of cactus you selected to grow.

While this method is the gold standard for teaching children with dyslexia, it is beneficial for all children. MSL teaches phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, accuracy and fluency, and writing and spelling. Students are encouraged to use all of their senses (touch, sight, movement, and sound) as part of the learning process.   Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, recognize, and use the individual sounds in a word. A child that can identify that the words pat'', park, and "pump" all start with the same sound would be demonstrating phonemic awareness. Phonics is the relationship between letters and sounds. Knowing what sound the letter "B" makes or that "ph" makes the same sound as the letter "f" is an example of phonics. You can receive MSL training and certification.  The International Dyslexia Association  and the Institute for Multi-sensory Education  provide information about training and certification requirements. Visual cues help individuals with dyslexia to understand written material. Use color on the blackboard or marker board. Write decimals in math problems in a different color. Grade in a color other than red, as red carries a universally negative connotation. Write note cards. This provides something tangible for students to look at while also giving them something to hold. Having them read the note card out loud also engages their motor and auditory skills. Make sand trays. Sand trays are simply tray-like containers that contain sand (or beans or shaving cream). Students can use these to spell words or draw pictures in the sand. This engages their sense of touch. Incorporate fun activities into their learning time. Games and other creative activities get the dyslexic child more involved in the learning process. This makes learning more fun and rewarding, as it gives them a sense of accomplishment. You can use music, songs, and chants to help students learn and remember rules. Explicit teaching includes describing and modeling the skill, breaking down the skill into...

TL;DR in Russian:

While this option won't apply to every Instagram account, anyone with an HD photo-capable smartphone can try their hand at taking, editing, and uploading Instagram photos; sooner or later, you'll probably upload something that someone will be interested in. As users of your chosen app view and purchase your photos, they will also become interested in your account; you can use this interest to further your account's business. Foap is a great app for iPhone and Android platforms. You start by creating an account with Foap, then you upload photos to their database. Users can browse and purchase your photos, and you take 50 percent of the photo price. Stock content--lower-quality photos that business and websites can use for advertising--should go directly to your chosen photo-selling app, but you should sell your premium photos--e.g., incredibly high-quality pieces that command a higher price--individually from your Instagram page. This is where having a large follower base becomes crucial. Note that stock content shouldn't actually be low-quality; rather, it should be generic or otherwise applicable to a wide variety of situations. Premium content should be more geared toward individual consumption. You can do this by uploading a lower-resolution version of the photo, or you can place a graphic (e.g., your signature or an obtrusive piece of text) over the top of it. Be sure to retain original copies of the photo for distribution. When a follower wants to purchase your photo, you can send them an invoice and the unwatermarked version of your photo. You'll want to place the following information in the post:  Desired price Desired payment client (e.g., PayPal or Venmo) Photo size Photo resolution Brief photo description As long as you have an active follower base and you've generated interest in your photography up to this point, you should have no problem selling some of your photos from Instagram! You can also take photo content requests from individual followers; you'll be able to charge a premium price for these.

While turned off, press and hold the A and B buttons on your DS. Continue holding both of these buttons and turn on your DS. Continue to hold A and B while your DS powers up. You will need to do this while continuing to hold down the A and B buttons. Wait until you see the Nintendo screen displayed, but before the Action Replay screen stating, "This product is not endorsed by Nintendo"  before you press Start and Select. You may need to continue holding these buttons for a few seconds, but when you see the main screen for your Action Replay displayed, you can release the buttons you've been holding. Your product is now reset, and will likely accept codes once more. To make sure that all is well with your Replay, input codes as normal. If your codes work, you've fixed your Action Replay. If this does not fix your action replay, it may be irreparable or you may need to try another solution to fix your problem.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выключите игровую консоль. Зажмите кнопки «Пуск» (Start) и «Выбор» (Select). Зажмите все четыре кнопки. Введите коды, чтобы убедиться, что Action Replay работает без сбоев.


While waiting for your lab culture to confirm your diagnosis (or even while waiting for your antibiotics to reduce symptoms), you can take other steps to soothe strep throat pain. OTC pain medications can relieve throat discomfort and reduce fever associated with your strep throat as well. Common OTC options include ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Avoid the use of aspirin in children under the age of eighteen due to the risk of Reye syndrome—a potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to seizures, coma, or brain damage. Warm eight ounces of water and then stir in a quarter teaspoon of plain table salt. Gargle the mix at the back of your throat for one minute and then spit it out. This can help relieve throat pain, and it is safe to do several times a day as needed. This option is also safe for younger children. However, ensure the child is old enough to properly gargle the solution without choking or swallowing the salt water. Sleeping gives your immune system time and resources to fight the bacteria with the help of the antibiotics. Aim to sleep an extra four to five hours during the day in addition to a full eight hours at night. Cover up with blankets and try not to have any drafts or overhead fans on, as these can cause postnasal drip, worsening your sore throat. In addition to preventing dehydration, drinking plenty of water will also keep your throat moist, which will ease the pain associated with swallowing.  Current recommendations vary between men and women. On average, men should try to drink around thirteen cups (three liters) each day, and women should aim to drink nine cups (2.2 liters) each day.  Some people find warm liquids more soothing whereas others prefer cold. If warm liquids are soothing, you can try warm broth or green tea with some honey. If you prefer cold liquids, you can even suck on a popsicle for some temporary relief. Rough shards of toast or other sharp foods will only irritate your throat further. During the worst of your sore throat symptoms, you’ll...

TL;DR in Russian:

While women's menstrual flows vary, select the most streamlined products that will work for you.  You'll save space packing and generate a smaller volume of trash.  Consider using non-applicator tampons.  Non-applicator tampons take up far less storage space.  Instead of a bulky applicator, the only extra waste involved is a small cellophane wrapper.  Practice using this style of tampon prior to your trip so you feel confident using them.  Recognize that if you're backpacking, you'll need to pack carefully and consider leaving an item or two of your usual gear at home to make room for sanitary supplies.  Use unscented, unbleached products both to deter wildlife and to keep yourself healthy.  Toxic shock syndrome and other infections can occur when chemicals used in manufacturing alter your body's natural pH. Place unused tampons or pads in one storage bag.  Stow used items and toilet paper in smaller bags, then consolidate into one larger "trash" bag.  Freezer bags are especially good for this purpose as they are manufactured from thicker, more durable plastic.  Store used materials away from food when possible, but remember that these items are now "scented."  Scientists have determined that myths about bears being especially attracted to menstrual blood are false.  You need not worry that bears will be more interested in your used sanitary items than in any other scented item you might be carrying.  That said, it's a good idea to hang used products with or alongside food in a bear bag or use a bear canister.  Double-bagging your waste in plastic will help you maintain good hygiene.  If you dislike using disposable zippered plastic bags, consider investing in a dry-bag such as those used by cloth-diapering parents.  These washable lined bags function similarly to a zippered plastic bag. Never bury your used products or place them in composting toilets.  Store your waste and carry it home with you if proper trash receptacles are not available.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если есть такая возможность, возьмите маленькие тампоны и тонкие гигиенические прокладки. Возьмите с собой побольше разных пакетов и упаковок или косметичек на молнии, чтобы быть более организованной. Упакуйте использованные тампоны или прокладки.


While you can do a lot to prevent your white carpet from getting dirty, it is recommended that you get your carpet more thoroughly cleaned by professionals every 12 to 18 months.  This method, also known as steam cleaning, involves pre-spraying the carpet with soap, then applying a fine spray of hot water to rinse the soap.  Finally, the wastewater should be extracted so that no soapy film remains on the carpet.  It is also beneficial for health reasons as the hot temperatures kill any mold, bacteria, and pollutants stuck in the soft surface of the carpet.  As many as one hundred times more pollutants are found indoors than outdoors. Professionals will likely do a more thorough job but they can be expensive.  You can rent a steam cleaner from a hardware store and give it a go yourself.  Vacuum before you begin to get the top layer of dirt off as steam-cleaners are designed to wash the carpet and get at the ground-in dirt.  Remove furniture and pick up all items lying around the floor. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific device you are using. Most carpet steam cleaners lay the water down when you push the machine forward and extract it when you pull back. If this is the case, be sure to slowly pull the machine over the carpet to extract as much water as possible. Excess water left behind may soak the carpet padding and cause mold or mildew issues.  Use in the summer months when you can keep windows open for ventilation and to speed up drying.

While you can legally practice alone on any public road with a valid driver’s license, you will pick up the nuances of driving a manual car faster if you have an experienced driver accompanying you. Start off in a flat, isolated area like a large (and empty) car park, then move on to quiet suburban streets. Drive around the same circuit repeatedly until you start to remember the various skills involved. When you’re new to driving a manual, plan routes that avoid traffic lights at the top of steep hills. Your timing and coordination in working the gear stick, clutch, brake, and accelerator needs to be fairly sharp in order to avoid drifting backwards when you shift into first gear. You need to be able to quickly (but smoothly) move your right foot from releasing the brake to depressing the accelerator, while at the same time letting out the clutch. You can use the parking brake to limit backward drifting if necessary, but always remember to disengage it as you start moving forward. Unlike automatics, manual transmission cars don’t have a “park” gear. But, simply putting the car in neutral opens the possibility of your car rolling freely, especially if parked on an incline or decline. Always use the handbrake, but don’t rely on it alone to keep your car in place whilst parked.  If you are parked facing uphill, shut the car off in neutral, then shift into first gear and apply the parking brake. If facing downhill, do the same but shift into reverse. This will prevent the wheels from rolling in the direction of the slope. On extreme inclines, or simply to be extra cautious, you can also place chocks (angled blocks) behind your wheels to prevent movement. Making a complete stop when changing directions is an easy way to reduce your likelihood of causing expensive damage to your gearbox.  It is strongly recommended to stop completely before going from reverse to first gear. However, it is possible on most manual transmissions to shift into first or possibly second when the car is moving backwards at a slow speed,...

While you can use this method to delete photos from your Instagram page on a computer, you cannot delete more than one photo at a time. There is no way to delete multiple Instagram photos at once, as Instagram has blocked any extension, app, or service previously able to do so. If you already have this app, skip to the next step. To download Instagram:  Open Start  Type in store  Click Store  Click the search bar. Type in instagram  Click Instagram in the drop-down menu. Click Get Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Doing so will search your computer for the Instagram app. It should be at the top of the Start window. Instagram's sign-in page will open. Click the Sign In link near the bottom of the window, enter your username (or phone number, or email address) and password, and click Login. If you're already logged in, skip this step. It's a person-shaped icon in the bottom-right corner of the window. This will open your Instagram page. Find a photo that you want to delete, then click it. This will open the photo. This option is in the upper-right corner of the photo. Clicking it prompts a pop-up menu at the bottom of the window. It's in the pop-up menu. Doing so will delete the photo and return you to your Instagram page. While you can't delete more than one photo at a time, you can delete them quickly by opening them one at a time and going through the deletion process.

While you can't watch your rat all the time, observe it when you can. When you see your rat using the litter box, offer praise. You can also offer a small treat as a reward.  Be as consistent as you can. Reward the rat each time you see it using the litter box. With time, you should find less and less droppings outside the box. You do not want to yell at or punish a rat for eliminating outside the litter box. The rat will not understand why it's being scolded and this will only create tension. However, correct the rat gently when you see it going outside the box.  Do something to distract the rat. Simply try something like clapping your hands and saying "No" in a firm voice. Make sure not to raise your voice when saying "No." Your rat needs to understand there is a clear difference between its living space and its bathroom space. This way, it is less likely to eliminate outside the litter box. Make sure to clean up droppings and wet spots as soon as you see them. When first litter training your rat, spot clean the cage a few times a day. As your rat gets more used to using the litter box, you can go back to a regular cleaning schedule. If your rat is really struggling to learn, remind it what the litter box is for. When spot cleaning, dump some of the waste you collect into the litter. This will help your rat understand he should eliminate inside of the box.

While you could use printer paper, that's not very sturdy. Cardstock or colored card is best, as it's stronger. And if it's already colored, it's much easier to work with. Don't be hemmed in by the standard bookmark shape. Think of other shapes that are fun, such as a heart, a leaf, a cat, a dog or a silhouette of a face with a ponytail. Different shapes are really cool. Depending on your own interests, you could cut out different shapes from colored paper and glue these onto the bookmark. Or, add stickers, glitter glue, sequins, yarn, beads and many other fun crafty items to make it cool.  Drawing images is fun and an original way to decorate. Write your name down the bookmark in large letters, using a cool script, then color it in or stick paper and cloth around the shapes of the letters. Overlapping embellishments can look good, just don't have them sticking out the edges or making the bookmark too thick. Get a roll of clear, wide tape. Wide packaging tape works best. Place even strips of tape across the bookmark, making sure to completely cover all of it. Once covered, it will be water and stain resistant.  You could laminate the bookmark but only if the items under it won't melt. Marker ink will melt under lamination.
