Long road - a forced break from business. So we are thinking most often and mentally assign flights to the lost time. And what if they perceive as part of the holiday? You sit in a chair, get comfortable, relaxed ... Ahead of a long flight - maybe 3 hours, maybe 9. Take to the skies, the plane takes you from everyday problems. It's time to enjoy the peace and comfort!
Seasoned travelers are preparing for the flight in advance. The most prudent for a few days put in a book bag, which they want to take a plane. The same goes for music - it is selected and write more at home. For those. someone important background sound, it may be required by paragraph preparing for the trip. And no wonder, for favorite music is not just soothing. It allows you to create in the imagination of the whole small clips from the memories. But if you are able to mount the video, then invented the plane clip can be recreated in reality. Need only a computer and special software for video editing. In this video you can do both of the videos, as well as from ordinary photos.
If you are traveling on vacation, the cognitive program can be started even on the plane. Bring guidebooks, maps, tourist brochures from which you can learn something interesting about the place of rest. You can gain a guided tour, mentally noting the most interesting sights, as well as to estimate the distance between cities on a map, choose the most convenient pedestrian route to explore metro or highways. Those who fly to another country, often taking with them conversation - and not without reason. Go to language acquisition can begin already in the plane. Even during the short trip you certainly have time to learn a few simple words - such as "Hello", "Thank you" or "Please."
The situation is different if you return from a holiday - there guides are unlikely to be needed. But the plane can do that adjusts to return home. Or recalls favorite hobbies. For example, write "Overseas" recipes in a separate notebook. Or browse the catalogs of clothing and makeup, choosing what you order at home. Many aircraft are offered free newspapers and magazines. By the way, on the flights of foreign airlines often newspapers and magazines of other countries. And it's a great opportunity to practice a foreign language.
A clever technique that you carry with you on the long flight could be the most faithful friend. Camera and a laptop will allow to see and even handle the fresh images. Incidentally, the photo can be made directly to the airplane. Different kinds of clouds, through which the aircraft flies, it is worthy of separate images, and land with a bird's-eye view - a sight he had seen, not every man.
Private lucky in flight can share experiences with friends. Opportunities for this weight - whichever airline you fly. Some of them allow in-flight for a purely nominal fee to connect to the board on the Internet. Others give passengers the opportunity to enjoy free satellite telephone. True, this company is quite certain class - from loukosterov this should not wait.
In addition to satellite phones, transporting companies come up with a lot of other entertainment for the passengers. Most Popular - a cinema, for each individual. 10 years ago, many aircraft were only screens on the ceiling. Now every seat is built into an entire entertainment system. Small personal monitor allows each of the passengers choose the occupation of your choice. This may be a new popular film, a selection of music videos or video game. Some airlines "in the collection" is and cartoons - especially for young passengers. In addition, on the same monitor can be a real-time view information about the flight: pitch, speed, temperature overboard, flight time and other parameters.
Would you like to do shopping? On board the plane and possibly is! Many airlines and foreign and Russian, is SkyShop - shop on board the aircraft. In fact, this is the same duty-free, where you can at a lower price to buy quality cosmetics, perfumes, luxury alcohol, tobacco products. Sometimes in these stores you can buy some very interesting things - for example, a souvenir doll from the Aeroflot logo as a gift to his friend, a foreigner, to whom you are flying.
Ultimately, all these activities can overwhelm. And then it's time to visit the world of dreams - simply put, a nap. If you want to take a nap during the flight, you will be given a blanket, socks, and black-out blindfolded. With regard to personal hygiene, many airlines give each passenger a toothbrush and toothpaste.
If parking in reverse was not included in the program of courses where you study, then most likely you have tried unsuccessfully to squeeze my car utykayas rear wheels to the curb. Familiar? If not, then think about what cars is becoming more and find a place to park is becoming harder and sooner or later you find yourself in this situation.
Having mastered these simple techniques you will not only save a lot of time and nerves, but also significantly raise the eyes of others in your driver's authority.To get started ...
You need to have a clear idea of the dimensions of your vehicle to more accurately identify suitable parking place. Not shelving them try the following:
* Stop the car near the place in which, as you think it will fit.
* Visual estimate its size, bearing in mind that you need to park at 30-40 inches in front and behind.
Step 1: Find a place
Trying to find a parking spot slowly move in the right lane and carefully looking through the eyes of a suitable place. It would be better to examine the entire street in front, so you do not have to brake abruptly.
Step 2: Stay
Turn the turn signal. Gently stop immediately after the free space. Your machine should be located parallel vperedistoyaschey a meter away from her. If the place just vacated, then stay behind, leaving the outgoing car space to maneuver. Thus, you simplify it to leave and "stake out" territory.
Step 3: Turn back
The rear bumper of your car should be in line with the bumper vperedistoyaschey. Unroll back and looking over his shoulder (that is closer to the curb), slowly drew back abruptly twisting the steering wheel toward the curb. Stop when you will lead a car for half its length.
Step 4: remove the steering wheel
Stop halfway - the key to success. Standing on the ground, remove the steering wheel in the direction opposite to the curb. Only then gently begin to take back and be careful not to touch the bumper in front of or behind the standing car. If all goes well, your host should be where you expect.
Step 5: Fit
If not, do not worry - just put the car can only be a very experienced driver. If you are renting back touched the curb earlier than they should - again leaned forward and repeat the steering wheel more or less in line with the situation. Oh, and do not forget to deploy the wheels toward the curb, if you're parked on a slope, and to the side of the road, if on the rise.
We believe that the family sedan can be both comfortable and practical, because it believes Mazda. Therefore, to understand how it will feel like a new 2009 Mazda 6 in the world of family sedans, we decided to compare it with other novices.
Next, we tested the 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE with its constant speed automatic transmission. Most people consider this car the most athletic in his class. Especially because he has a transmission that broke all the hopes placed in the CVT. We know that this machine also supports a manual transmission, but we also know that the CVT - the best choice. Believe us on the floor.
The all-new 2008 Honda Accord is a classic of its genre and, concurrently, the winner of the previous comparative test-drive family sedans. Honda Accord EX-L Navi has an excellent chance of winning again. This car has excellent balance between price and quality. Accord is ready to compete with the Mazda 6 in the field of practical advantages.
Let's start.
Motivated V6
2009 Mazda 6 s Grand Touring is a car with premium, which showed good speed and power results during our test drive. This should give credit to its 3.7 liters. engine capacity of 272 horsepower, which was borrowed from kin crossover Mazda CX-9. The powerful engine has helped one and a half car to accelerate to 96 km / h in just 6.5 seconds. Because of this, the heaviest of all three test car was the fastest. Accord (easier Mazda 3 kg.) Passed this distance in 7.5 seconds, and Altima (lighter by about 90 kg.) - For 7.0 seconds. Mazdovsky V6 worked smoothly and freely, and he liked us much more than the engines of two other cars.
As for fuel economy, here Mazda also occupies a leading position, despite a decent amount of engine. On average, this car consumes 8.6 liters of fuel per kilometer run. Perhaps because of its 3.7 liters. V6 produces the greatest amount of torque at low revs, Mazda 6 does not ride as aggressively as it makes the Accord or Altima. Akkordovsky 3.5 liter. V6 with 268 hp eats a liter of fuel for 7.7 kilometers away. Engine Altima (3.5 liters. V6 with 270 hp) is even more voracious - 7.3 km / liter. In addition, altimovsky V6 consumes only fuel the higher class.
Further, Mazda 6 drove the 400-meter distance in 14.7 seconds. at a speed of 153 km / h, while the Accord accomplished this task in 15.6 seconds. at a speed of 146 km / h, and the Altima showed average results - 15.0 sec. and 152 km / h.
Let's talk about transmission
Six-speed automatic transmission, Mazda has also manual controls for those who like to keep the car completely under his control. The gear shift is quick and clear. Well, what you want, it's not that anyhow, and the classical mazdovskaya transmission.
For comparison, the five-speed automatic box Honda has not been programmed to ensure that work in a more powerful mode than «Drive». For example, a manual gear change you certainly will not be able "to get" above fourth gear. Perhaps this is the mysterious way Honda, but in this case, we with it not exactly on the path.
2008 Nissan Altima has a CVT, which can easily be adjusted manually, and which has carefully optimized mode Drive. From my own experience know that the CVT - the perfect option when the transmission is complemented by a powerful engine producing high torque (as altimovsky V6). Then the CVT is much more effective than just automatic transmission. This combination allows the Altima to drive fast and maneuverable.
Ride and handling
Our recent test drive of the BMW 3 Series revealed that the latest model of the independent front suspension designed to fame and can operate at very high levels. Nissan Altima equipped with the same configuration, and therefore also has good handling characteristics. We appreciated the clear control of the car, but we did not like his tough ride.
2008 Honda Accord and the 2009 Mazda 6 both have dvuhvilochkovuyu independent front suspension, which has even better performance than altimovskaya because of it, these cars drive pretty gently. This is especially noticeable when driving on urban congestion, and when you decide to park.
Our corresponding test drive proved that Mazda has the best handling. She scored a 0,81 g during the test drive "the pressure shoe and drove through the slalom at the speed of 106 km / h. Altima showed slightly worse result - 0,80 g and 104 km / h, the same chords got an honorable (or not) in third place - 0,79 g and 101 km / h.
The only slight drawback Mazda 6 - it's too noisy ride, mostly the cause is its wide, 46 cm. Tyres Michelin, unusually sensitive to certain surfaces.
Interior and its equipment
Interior Honda liked us the most. He has an original design and high functionality. Two other car also hit the face in the dirt, but still it was not. As for features, the Mazda has the most "brutal" alarm system, and Nissan - rear view camera, which is part of the navigation system.
Consoles three cars are all that is needed, and even a bit more. For example, Accord EX-L Navi has separate controls for audio and navigation systems of ventilation, which is specifically broken down by individual groups. Dashboard Mazda hondovskuyu combines functionality and intuitiveness of the Nissan.
Summing up
So after all of these studies, test drives, comparisons and calculations, we made a final conclusion. First place in our comparative test drive took 2009 Mazda 6 s Grand Touring, valued at $ 30.690. She scored 70 points out of 100. In second place - 2008 Honda Accord EX-L Navi ($ 30,930) with 66 points. And closes our trinity 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE CVT, costing $ 27.275. He scored 54 points.
Now we give the final score the winner. 2009 Mazda 6 has acquired a certain gloss and luxury, and has not lost touch of sports sedan, which was inherent in previous models of this car. This is a very decent car, which may even rise to a higher level, taking part in a comparative test drive with the more expensive and elite machines - for example, Acura TSX, or Nissan Maxima.
We have always believed that the family sedan is still able to express themselves properly, and thanks to Mazda, we were able in this, finally, to convince
And we do not need any A6 and BMW.
Conflicts between mother-in-law and can harm even the most happy marriage. In-law always treats his daughter as a rival, which selects its favorite son.
Meanwhile, relations with the husband's mother are not necessarily bad. Just stands to eliminate the possibility of any potential conflicts before they occur.
On good terms with the future in-law should take care before the wedding. Remember that first impressions are very important. Try to make it. Praise her flowers on the windowsill, tell her that her new outfit - adorable, ask salad recipe with sunflower chips, which she has treated you.

Then not only she loves you and will trust you, but you'll see it in a different light.Healthy Distance
Do not say, however, mother-in-all your problems, do not overdo it with confidence. Do not enter it in the course of family problems. If you know that she loves you, and you can trust her, and sometimes may be slightly complain about her husband. But it is better not to do so, and certainly should not constantly criticize her son. No mother likes it. Also, remember that the struggle for a sense of her son's pointless, because his mother loves him differently. Do not compete with it in daily issues - such as cooking, especially if she considers herself a good housewife.Beware of jealousy
Keep your distance from the in-law, even if you have it great. Do not get too much talk with him.
Never forget important for the mother-in dates - birthdays, wedding date husband's parents. Remind your husband that he would at least call his mother. Men often forget about it - and mother-in-guessed someone must care of her son.
Invite your mother in law to an important event for you, select a time for a walk or going to the movies, invite her to dinner. But do not overdo it. Do not let that be a joint "Sunday dinner" became mandatory.
However, never forget that you and your husband - adult, and you make decisions in their lives. Do not let your mother in law to treat you like children who need help. It is likely you need to care for their parents. Do not give her too much as to interfere in the upbringing of their children, but let it be a good grandmother. You can trust her on this issue - remember, she has more experience than you, she brought up your husband, and I think I did it well, since you chose him.
Laboratory and instrumental diagnosis of diseases of internal organs is essential for accurate diagnosis. If we suddenly get sick, the doctor usually prescribes to us the direction to the various studies of the blood and internal organs. This is necessary in order to determine the disease or to track the results of treatment.
Who is well-diagnoses - the good treats. Today, however, this Latin proverb should be clarified, as well diagnoses that a doctor whose patient has to observe certain rules of preparation for research. Otherwise, the findings may be unreliable.
How to prepare for the analysis of blood
Doctor in medieval times had to rely on their senses: touch, hearing, sight, taste, smell. To our happiness, modern doctors helps a lot more diagnostic tools, one of which certainly is a blood test.
All laboratory blood tests, regardless of whether the finger or take blood from a vein, give up on an empty stomach. The day before, starting with breakfast from your diet exclusively fatty, fried foods and alcohol. Dietary fats learned in blood, may change its biochemical characteristics. And that could complicate the diagnosis of diseases of internal organs. Remember that fats make the blood of a viscous, less fluid, so even if blood sampling from the finger can be difficult. Before a blood meal can take at least 8 hours. Juice, tea, coffee, especially with sugar - the same meal, so be patient.
That morning, when the scheduled blood test can not only eat and drink and smoke! Some doctors believe that even their teeth cleaned at the time desired. Common sense dictates that your teeth cleaned it was still possible, but short, so as not to cause an active salivation.
The results of laboratory diagnosis is also influenced by taking many medications. In this connection it should be possible to conduct studies to limit the unnecessary medication and consult your doctor. Also, blood can not be handed over after physical therapy, rectal exam, X-ray.
On some indices of blood may affect the previous exercise - brisk walking, running, climbing stairs. Therefore, to reduce the negative impact of these factors rest 10-15 minutes before the procedure in the waiting room and try to calm down. While waiting for their turn to diagnose diseases of internal organs do not have to shake with fear. Fear of the procedure may also affect some blood parameters. If you have to draw blood from a finger, better knead and rub your fingers to make them warm. Otherwise, the lab will torment you forced sucking blood, which does not want to flow from a cold finger.
How to prepare for the analysis of urine
Laboratory analysis of urine is a prerequisite for accurate diagnosis of diseases of internal organs. To collect urine for analysis of the most important condition - intimate hygiene compliance before filling the coveted vessel. Otherwise, the analysis will be polluted. Postponing day delivery urine test, if you are menstruating. If you are taking any medications, tell your doctor because some medications may affect the analysis. Restrictions in the diet is not, but do not lean on mineral water - it changes the reaction of urine.
How to prepare for U.S.
The third most common instrumental method of diagnosis - ultrasonography (USG) of the internal organs. The undoubted advantages of ultrasound is, above all, its safety for the patient. Proved that the body ultrasound has no significant harmful effects. Therefore, if the doctor needed to clarify the diagnosis, the procedure of ultrasound without unnecessary fears can always be re-repeat. The uniqueness of this method also lies in the fact that within the same treatment to the doctor can conduct studies of many systems and organs.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen
The abdominal cavity is essentially a closed bag, which are compact soft internal organs: liver, stomach, spleen and intestine. Moreover, the smaller the intestinal contents, especially the gas, the more accurate and easier to carry out ultrasound. Therefore, all training to the ultrasound study is limited to compliance of certain food regime. 2-3 days prior to study exclusively from the diet all foods that cause fermentation: white bread, milk, cabbage (both fresh and pickled), peas and beans, beer. All these days be taken after breakfast, lunch and dinner, 2-3 tablets of activated charcoal.
Since abdominal ultrasonography performed strictly on an empty stomach, not the day of the study is nothing to eat and drink. Categorically excluded coffee and tea. Related to these limitations with the fact that one of the objects being studied is the gall bladder, which is reduced even one sip of hot water. In this case the exact instrumental diagnostics of internal organs is being questioned. If before the test to provoke him to reduce the doctor will not be able to correctly estimate its size.
Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs
Women's anatomy is such that the uterus with appendages somewhat changes its position depending on the degree of bladder filling. In this case, ultrasound shadow can clearly be obtained only if the bladder is well distended large number of urine. To do this an hour before the research you need to drink 1 liter of water and come to study with a sense of strong desire to visit the toilet. Preventive ultrasound of the uterus and appendages is best done at 5-7-day menstrual cycle.
Ultrasound examination of breast
Preventive study of mammary glands taken hold at 6-8-day menstrual cycle. In other cases, the need for this study defines a physician, regardless of what day of the cycle. To perform ultrasound kidney, thyroid, special training is required.
For accurate laboratory and instrumental diagnosis of diseases of internal organs need to comply with the above rules.
