Start everyone off on the right foot by making sure your parents know your boyfriend’s name and vice versa. Make sure that everyone is pronouncing everything correctly so that no one gets offended. Say something like, “This is my boyfriend, Zack. Zack, these are my parents, Mike and Terese.” You are the person who knows the most about everyone in the room, so ask your parents and your boyfriend about their lives and their hobbies. Try to include everyone in the conversation.  Use conversation starters like, “Dad, I heard you went hiking the other day. Where exactly did you go? Zack and I love to hike together.” ”Mom, have you read any good books lately? I just finished a great one, and I’d love to tell you about it.” ”Zack loves to work on computers. I bet he could tell you guys a thing or two about yours.” It can be hard to let your parents interrogate your boyfriend, but the goal is to let everyone get to know each other. Let your parents ask your boyfriend about what he does and what his goals are in life. Only step in and change the subject if your parents start asking inappropriate questions that make your boyfriend uncomfortable.  Questions like, “What do you do for fun?” and, “What did you go to school for?” are totally acceptable questions. Things like, “How many people have you dated before?” can make your boyfriend uncomfortable, and should be avoided. Use phrases like, “I don’t think he should have to answer that, Mom. Why don’t you tell us about your new job instead?” If there are certain subjects that you and your parents don’t agree on, like religion or politics, don’t bring those up. Instead, focus on topics that will be fun to talk about and will let everyone chime in on a happy note.  Stick to subjects like individual hobbies, fun vacation stories, or life accomplishments. Use conversation starters like, “Our trip to Europe was super fun! We can show you some pictures, if you’d like.” Or, “Didn’t you guys just go to the beach? How was that trip?” Since your parents and your boyfriend just...

TL;DR in Russian:

Представьте каждого по имени. Продолжайте светскую беседу, задавая вопросы и отпуская комментарии. Позвольте своим родителям задавать вопросы вашему парню. Ведите разговор на легкие и светские темы. Не оставляйте парня наедине с родителями надолго.


Start filling up your bathtub with very warm to hot water. As the bathtub is filling up, add 2 cups (470 mL) of sea salt to the water. The heat of the water will help dissolve the salt.  Don’t use table salt, as this contains only NaCl. It may also contain iodine if it is iodized table salt. Sea salt, on the other hand, contains a wide range of necessary minerals including calcium, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, iodine, potassium, zinc, iron and trace minerals. Using table salt in a pinch won’t seriously harm you, but it won’t give you the added benefit of all the other minerals found in sea salt. Make sure the water temperature is comfortable for you. It’s best to use very warm to hot water for dissolving the sea salt, but you can wait to let the water cool down a bit before getting in. Immerse your body in the tub and relax for up to 15 minutes.  This will give you a chance to soak your back, chest or arms, which may be affected by acne. If you have pimples on your face, soak a washcloth in the tub water and place it over your face for 10-15 minutes. Use the shower head to rinse off your body. Make sure the sea salt water is completely rinsed off. Use a clean cotton towel to dry yourself. Don’t rub yourself with the towel, as this can irritate the skin. Consider applying a moisturizer to all your skin. The sea salt can dry out your skin, which is not beneficial. Moisturize your skin with a non-comedogenic moisturizer.

TL;DR in Russian:

Добавьте в ванну 2 стакана (около 650 граммов) морской соли. Проверьте температуру воды. Принимайте ванну в течение 15 минут. Смойте остатки морской соли прохладной водой. Промокните кожу сухим полотенцем. Увлажните кожу.


Start from the belly and work towards its penis so that the horse isn't surprised. Use room temperature water, if possible. Hot water and cold water can be uncomfortable for your horse. Your goal here is to sluice off dirt and other contaminants from the outside of the sheath. Discard the used sponge after completion Lubricate your hand and the sheath with either KY Jelly or a commercial sheath cleaner. In order to remove the smegma or “beans”, you'll need to lubricate the region. This will also make the process less stressful/painful for the horse. Take a soft sponge or a pad of cotton wool and wipe gently along the outer edge of the horse's sheath. Remove all smegma, dirt, and any other foreign materials that may have built up. Use room temperature water to rinse, while wiping. Do not wipe too aggressively. Work the sponge or pad of cotton wool in small circles as you move along the sheath. Push it as far as your can before inserting your hand. At most, your horse's sheath will slide 1 or 2 inches back. This will reduce the pocket that forms around the penis and will making cleaning easier. Not all horses will allow you do to it. If you do this frequently enough, your horse will become used to the sensation and won't resist. It will probably be a rusty color. This is normal. The smegma (dried excretions) will usually flake and peel away in your hand. Bring out as much as possible and use a lot of lukewarm water to rinse. Insert your little finger into the urethra and feel for a hard lump. If it is there, slowly roll it out of the tip of the horse's penis. Some call this harvesting beans. You will feel it before you get to your first knuckle. Beans rarely form deeper than this and if they do, they require surgery to remove. Check for thick skin, grayish skin color in normally pink areas, and lesions. If you see any of these, you should consult your veterinarian. These can be the result of improper genital care, but may also be symptomatic of other dietary, bacterial, and viral issues. If you used soap, make...

Используйте губку или шланг, чтобы бережно промыть крайнюю плоть и пенис. Приведите себя в порядок.


Start keeping a food diary to keep track of what you eat and how it makes you feel. You can use your food diary to identify the foods that tend to trigger your IBS symptoms and use that information to avoid trigger foods in the future. In your food diary include things like:  what you ate how much you ate when you ate how you felt one to two hours after eating FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. These ingredients are more likely to produce IBS symptoms, so reducing your intake of foods that contain these ingredients should help to improve your IBS symptoms. Foods that you should limit or avoid include:  certain fruits such as apples, blackberries, apricots, cherries, nectarines, mangoes, pears, watermelon, or plums canned fruits fruit juice dried fruit certain vegetables such as artichokes, cabbage, garlic, lentils, cauliflower, mushrooms, asparagus, beans, onions, snow peas , and sugar snap peas  dairy products wheat rye high-fructose corn syrup honey Having an irregular eating pattern can also contribute to IBS symptoms, so try not to skip any meals or eat meals that are spaced too far apart. Maintain a regular meal schedule and try to eat about once every three hours during the day. Avoid eating large meals as well. Large meals may also contribute to IBS symptoms, so try to eat four or five small meals throughout the day. Staying hydrated can also help to combat some of the symptoms of IBS. Aim to drink about eight 8 ounce glasses of water every day. If you exercise or have an active lifestyle, then you may need to drink more. Steer clear of fizzy water and other carbonated beverages. These can make IBS symptoms worse. Alcohol and caffeine can irritate your digestive system. They may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. Try to reduce or eliminate caffeine and alcohol from your diet and see if your symptoms improve. For example, instead of having two cups of coffee in the morning, just have one. Or, instead of having a martini with dinner,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Заведите дневник питания. Соблюдайте диету с низким содержанием веществ группы FODMAP. Регулярно ешьте. Пейте достаточное количество воды. Снизьте употребление алкоголя и кофеина. Ограничьте употребление переработанных продуктов. Воздерживайтесь от искусственных подсластителей.


Start out with leaves that are moist, vibrant, and newly fallen. Pressing the leaves with wax will preserve them at the height of their brilliant color. Place the leaves in a single layer in between two paper towels to dry them if they're wet. Make sure they aren't overlapping, since this will cause the leaves to stick together. Use a medium-hot iron to iron each side. Iron each side for three to five minutes to absorb extra moisture.  Drying the leaves out beforehand will allow them to retain their color and quality after being sealed into the wax paper. Do not use a steam setting on your iron, since steam will keep the leaves moist. Only use a dry setting. Feel the leaves after ironing them for 3 to 5 minutes. If a leaf does not feel dry, iron both sides for a few more minutes. It does not matter which side of the wax paper faces the leaves, since both sides are waxed. Arrange the dried leaves in a single layer in between the wax paper sheets. Leave a little space around each leaf. The wax paper will need to be able to adhere to itself. You can also use brown paper bag material or another thick paper. Make sure all of the wax paper is covered by regular paper, so the iron won't stick to the wax. Make sure that the leaves remain spaced apart and in a single layer. With the iron on a medium-hot setting, iron both sides of the paper to seal the wax together. Keep the iron constantly moving so it won't burn the wax. Heat the first side for three minutes, then flip the paper, wax and leaves over carefully and repeat on the other side.  Do not use a steam setting on your iron; only use a dry setting. Handle the hot paper carefully. If your skin is sensitive, you may want to wear gloves to protect your hands. The wax will have slightly melted around the leaves, and as it cools it will adhere to them. Wait until the wax is cool before handling it. After the whole thing has cooled to the touch, remove the paper sheets from the wax paper. Carefully cut around each leaf using scissors or a sharp craft blade.  Leave a...

Start planning at least 3 weeks in advance and talk to your friend to get an idea of what she wants. At this point, it is important to decide what kind of party she wants and how many people to invite. Ideas for small birthday parties include:  Simple and casual gathering at home. A cozy dinner party or pot-luck.  A barbecue or pool party.  A retro or vintage themed birthday party. Once you decide on an awesome theme, you need to answer the following questions: When is your friend’s birthday? Will you celebrate on her birthday or a few days later? What time of day will the party be? How many guests can we invite? Think of your guests when planning a party. If your friend’s birthday is on a weekday, guests may not be able to attend due to work or school obligations. Friday evenings are usually the best time to hold a small get together. For barbecues or outdoor parties, Saturday or Sunday afternoons are best. Work with your friend to create a guest list. Next, organize the list into family and friends. Review the list and add-in significant others, children, siblings, etc. if needed. For a small party, keep the guest list to 25 people or less. Guests should be notified 2 to 3 weeks in advance. You can send invitations electronically via email, write and send through regular mail, or call or text everyone on the guest list. When inviting guests, make sure to give them the following information: your friend’s name, date and time of the party, location including address and any driving/parking instructions, date which guests should RSVP, and your contact information (email address and/or phone number) with instructions for RSVP-ing.  If possible, set-up a private Facebook event page and add your guests. This is an easy way to keep everything coordinated, provide information such as directions or party updates, and communicate with guests. If sending invitations in the mail, look online for creative invitation ideas or print out unique templates.  Be creative and make your own invitations at home. You can...

Start with a brown shade with the same underlying hue of your skin. For instance, if you are cool skinned and have undertones of yellow, a tan would work better. If you are warm toned and have undertones of red, a richer hue of brown with burgundy undertones might be a better choice.You will need a light ash tone and another tone that is one shade or so darker.  An ash brown is a safe bet for most skin tones. If you are not sure about what looks natural, compare the shades to the color of your eyebrows. The light shade should be two shades darker, and the darker shade should be another shade darker than that. Use the pencil to sprinkle small, uneven dots across the bridge of your nose and tops of your cheeks. Stop before you go overboard, since the freckles won't look as natural if you have too many.  Make the dots uneven in size as placement. They should all be around the size of the head of a pin, but some should be a little smaller than others, and they should be evenly scattered by asymmetrical. Do not attempt to create a mirror image from one side to the other. Use the darker shade to draw a few more freckles here and there. People with natural freckles usually have them in more than one tone, since freckles darken with age.  Look in the mirror to make sure that none of the dots overlap. This second layer of freckles should be fewer in number than the first. If you need to soften the freckles a bit in order to maintain a natural look, carefully and gently pat the area with your fingertips or a small piece of cotton. You could also use a clean eyeshadow blending brush to lightly buff over each spot. This is completely optional, but a quick sweep of either option will help hold your makeup in place for more time. A setting spray or powder will also make your skin appear glossier and healthier.

Start with a small goal of 30 minutes, 3 times per week if you aren't exercising at all currently. Try these steps to get yourself going:  Buy a pedometer. Attach the pedometer to your belt and try to take 5,000 steps daily. Move up to a goal of 10,000 to 15,000 steps as you get in better shape.  Start by walking to lose weight. Walking around your neighborhood costs nothing and is a great way to start moving. You can also try other low-impact exercises like swimming, riding a bike or jogging. . You can use a treadmill, an elliptical trainer, a stationary bike, a rowing machine or a stair climber. Start with short sessions and gradually add minutes as you get more fit. Also, use the settings on the machines to increase the intensity as you lose weight. Do a variety of different machines until you find something you like. Consult a personal trainer to make sure you're using proper form to avoid injury. They're there to help, not to intimidate you. You can take a traditional aerobics class or try any number of movement-based exercise routines. These are great ways of keeping yourself motivated in a group, having fun moving around, and losing weight. Try any of the following:  Kickboxing Jazzercise Zumba Pilates Yoga Martial arts Crossfit or Bootcamp Start small, aiming for one or two 15-minute sessions per week until you feel motivated to do more. Exercise large muscle groups to burn more calories and lose weight, instead of focusing on specific muscles. Try some of these examples:  Start with squats paired with an overhead dumbbell press to work your lower body and upper body at the same time. Perform resistance exercises while sitting or reclining on an exercise ball. You'll strengthen your core while simultaneously working on other areas. Use machines and free weights. These tools tend to focus on particular muscle groups like the arms, shoulders, thighs, glutes and upper back. Do these more focused exercises after you work on exercises for multiple muscle groups. Rest at least one full day between strength...

Start with the basics by clearing everything out of the car and removing all trash. There may be an old piece of food or other garbage stinking up your car. Check under the seats and remove all rotting food, trash, and junk items. Check back pockets and remove all trash items. Be careful if you have children as there may be sticky candies, or unidentified blobs of food stuck within the pocket. Don't forget to clean the back or trunk of the car as well. Use a soft cleaning cloth and an all-purpose cleaning spray to wipe down every plastic, wood, glass, and metallic surface inside the car. Look for any spills or stains that could be causing the odor. For example, a child may have spilled pudding on the seat.  For leather seats, use an appropriate leather cleaner. Alternatively, you can ask for a suitable interior car cleaner at your automotive store. If your upholstery is not leather, remove stains by vacuuming or shampooing the surfaces. In most cars, the floor mats (where the driver's and passengers' feet rest) can be removed. Pull these out, and use a few rags and hot, soapy water to clean them. Stains may have accumulated over time, which may be producing the foul smell in your car. Use clean water when you're cleaning off the floor mats. Wipe off all excess water from the mats so no water pools up in the car once you put the mats back in. to clear out any grime worked into the carpet. Vacuum the carpet and the seats to remove excess dirt. Besides dirt, food crumbs or leftover bits of trash may have been worked into the carpet. Vacuuming these out should improve the smell of your car. Run the vacuum nozzle over all seat and floor surfaces. If you're sure that the car's carpet is the problem, you could sprinkle carpet deodorizer over the carpet. Leave it to sit for the time recommended on the package instructions (usually about 5-10 minutes) before vacuuming it up. If vacuuming failed to remove the smell, you'll need to take a more aggressive approach towards cleaning the carpet. Purchase a car shampoo from...

Start with the napkin facing you in the square position.  Make sure that your napkin is open and flat before you begin your fold.  Apply pressure with your hand if you would like a more crisp look to your sailboat.  A tight fold will also allow the use of more fabric in your sailboat. Make sure when you make this fold, the open edges are towards your body.  Pull the corner all the way down until it is about one inch from the bottom edge.  This should create a right angle.  Apply pressure to the fold with your hand for a more crisp look. Fold it all the way to the left.  Make sure the corner of the flap is flush, and even, with the corner you press it against.  Press your hand against the fold to create a crisp crease. Pull the corner from left to right.  Make sure the edge lines up nice and smooth.  Crease the fold with your hand.  If the fabric becomes too thick to crease, use a heavy object like a paperweight to make the fold.  If you prefer a more "fluid" sail, don't crease the fold.  There should be 1/2-1 inch of excess fabric left at the bottom of your napkin, after you complete this fold. You will want to make sure that you fold it upwards at least 2 inches (5.1 cm).  This flap will form the boat in your sailboat.  Adjust this fold upwards or downwards if you want a smaller or larger boat. There are two major folds of fabric, both of which have been lifted up 2 inches (5.1 cm).  The flap away from the "sail" you want to separate away from the flap closest to the "sail."  Use your thumb and fold one of the flaps upwards.  Take the other flap and fold it backwards.  Smooth out the edges of the flaps and you now have a napkin wind-drawn sailboat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмитесь за верхний край салфетки и сложите ее пополам. Согните вниз верхний правый угол. Возьмитесь за нижний правый угол салфетки и до конца согните его влево. Заверните вниз верхний левый угол. Загните левый край вверх. Разделите нижние складки.


Start with the napkin in a square position.  Fold it down so it meets the bottom right hand corner.  Crease the fold with your hand, or a heavy object like a paperweight.  Then turn the napkin around, so the fold is facing downwards. Take the left corner with your hand and fold it down.  Do this until you have a straight edge running down the middle.  Note: you are not folding it left to right, but down.  Do this until there is about one inch of fabric left at the bottom.  Crease the fold you have made with your hands. Take the right corner and fold it down.  Do this until you have a straight edge in the middle.  You should now have two edges in the middle (from the left and right folds) that are basically touching each other.  Crease the fold with your hand or a paperweight. Pull the bottom left flap upwards.  Do this until the top flap meets the bottom fold.  Now do the same with the bottom right fold.  Lift it up until the top right flap meets the bottom fold.  Crease both folds with either your hand or a heavy object. This will create the "boat" part of the sailboat.  Pull up the bottom edge as much as you would like, depending on the size of the boat and/or sail you want.  Once this is done, lay the napkin on a plate.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмитесь за верхний левый угол салфетки. Загните вниз левую сторону. Согните вниз правую сторону. Поднимите нижний левый отворот. Заверните вверх нижний край.


Starting a casual conversation first will help you ease your way into asking the question and reduce some of the nervousness you might feel.  Send a friendly text saying "Hey, how's it going?" If you are doing the asking in person, approach the person and say hello. Make sure to smile and make eye contact, as this will show that you are interested. Instead of asking them out right away, first ask them what they are doing tomorrow, this coming weekend, and so on. This will serve as a segue to asking the person out and will make the conversation flow more naturally. Suggest an activity that you think they will be interested in, based on what you know about the person. If you can't think of anything, here are a few ideas:  Ask them to meet for coffee or a drink. Ask them out on a dinner or lunch date. Ask them if they'd like to come to a party/dance with you. Ask them out for ice cream or frozen yogurt. This will help eliminate any awkwardness in the future, especially if you have just asked out a close friend that you plan on continuing to see on a regular basis. More importantly, it will show the person that you are confident and mature enough to handle a little rejection.

TL;DR in Russian:

Завяжите разговор. Спросите, не хотел бы он/она пойти на свидание. Дайте знать, что нет никаких обид, если человек откажет.


Starting an argument, clearly provoking one, will get noticed by the people you argue with. They'll be much less likely to take you seriously because they know you just want to shout for a while. Avoid looking like a troll if you want to have an effective argument. Let your humanity and who you are as a person show through. This makes you more sympathetic and less angering to the people you argue against. Explain why you believe the thing that you believe and be willing to admit when an idea is your own, rather than using the "devil's advocate" cover up for an idea you know won't be popular. The fastest way to make an argument totally pointless is to let it get derailed. Stay on topic when you argue and when the other person derails, get them back on track. Solving a single disagreement is better than getting nowhere with 20 separate issues. Discuss one issue at a time, covering everything you want to say about it.  When it's been settled or you've reached an impasse, move on to the next topic. Don't allow subject changes.  The other person might try to change the subject in order to cover up a mistake. Many people, when proven wrong in some area, will rather be dismissive of their mistake rather than acknowledging their error. Either leave the argument if the person refuses to acknowledge mistakes ("It doesn't matter", "Whatever, that's my opinion.", etc.), or insist they acknowledge their error. Explain why you have the belief that you have, where you got your information from, and how you come to your conclusions. This can expose misunderstandings but it also forces your opponent to enter your head-space and follow your line of reasoning. It can be an effective way to win people over! When you argue with someone, acknowledge their argument and make sure that you actually understand what they're saying. Clarify with them if you have to. Make sure that you understand the basis of your argument before you argue. You should also make sure you agree with the premise of your opponent's argument. If you don't...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не провоцируйте спор. Будьте искренним. Не переводите тему. Объясняйте, объясняйте, объясняйте! Поймите и признайте аргументы своего оппонента. Начинайте спор, только если на это есть весомая причина. Не пытайтесь сделать так, чтобы последнее слово было за вами.


Starting with dry hair, rub a quarter-sized dollop of hair product through your hair.  Mousse and texturizer are good options. These will both give your hair volume and help hold the style longer.  If you have short hair, use less hair product in your hair. Otherwise, your hair can get weighed down too much.  Find a strong hold mousse to get maximum hold throughout the day. This size of curling iron will allow you to make a slightly tighter curl in your hair. The heat from the curling iron will be able to reach every strand of hair more easily this way. If you use a large-barreled curling iron, your hair will not hold the waves as well. Use a strong hold hairspray to cover your hair. Spritz hairspray all over. Careful not to overdo it, especially if you have shorter hair. Too much hairspray will make your hair look crunchy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нанесите на волосы средство для укладки. Используйте плойку среднего диаметра. Завершите прическу лаком для волос.


Starting with the guest list can give you a good idea of what the celebration will look like. Write down the name of anyone you can think of that might want to attend. Anytime you think of a new name, write it on the list. You can reach out to these guests as you plan the next stages of the celebration. Here is the first place your guest list can come in handy. Contact guests on the list, especially those who were particularly close to your loved one, and ask them for dates that they could possibly attend. This is especially important for guests that will be traveling long distances. A great way to do this is to get everyone’s email address and send out a poll (e.g. Doodle Poll) that gives guests an array of possible dates. Each guest can select any of the dates that they can attend, and you can set a date based on the results. Your venue will also be dictated by your guests. Obviously, you need to select a venue that is large enough to house all of your guests, but you should also consider things such as handicap accessibility and how child friendly your venue is before deciding. You can also make a shortlist of venues that would serve the celebration well, and ask your guests for their input. Some possible venues include churches, schools, outdoor spaces (parks, campgrounds, etc.), and a host of other unique spots that might house a special celebration. One of the perks to a celebration of life is that it is free flowing. That said, you can make things go much smoother by having some agenda made. Send this agenda to all guests ahead of time, or hand it out as guests arrive. The order of events should include things like:  When does the celebration start? When will each speaker speak? When will food be served? When will any other special events take place? When is the celebration set to end? Not all celebrations will have formal speakers. If you do want guests to speak, you should ask them ahead of time so that they have time to prepare something to say. If someone prefers not to speak, remember that many...

Starving your body can actually give you the opposite of what you want by making your body go into survival mode which means it will hold on to fat easier. Lose weight the healthier way  by eating fresh fruits and vegetables, going to the gym, and by drinking more water. Start your day having aloe-vera pulp, coconut water or normal water. Leave a cup on your nightstand to remind yourself to drink every morning. Get a membership at your local gym and try your hardest to go there at least once a week then twice a week etc. Workout at home if you're not comfortable doing it in public areas. Remember not all fats are bad however, fats from donuts, cakes, and pies are. Add healthy fats to your food like extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed, walnuts, almonds, avocado etc by adding it to salads, smoothies, soups, and more.

Stay on the perimeter of the store and buy mainly fruits and vegetables. Over 1/2 of your plate should be filled with vegetables at each meal.  Aim to replace processed foods, such as bread, with complex carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables. High-carb vegetables include squash, beans, sweet potatoes, green peas, carrots, beets and corn. These vegetables will fill you up and keep you full longer than bread or pasta. Mix in low-carb vegetables, such as avocado, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, lettuce, chard, asparagus and summer squash. Get a variety of colors into your diet. Buy red, green, orange, brown, blue and any other color of fruit and vegetable you can get your hands on. Colors indicate different nutrients and a balanced diet. Breakfast jump starts the metabolism to ensure you are burning, rather than storing fat. Try high-protein breakfasts, like Greek yogurt, oatmeal, quinoa, an egg white omelet or a large smoothie. You will want to reduce overall calories by 25 percent over the next 4 days, and reduce portion sizes on fatty foods is a great way to do that.  Replacing processed foods with produce will also reduce your calorie intake. Don’t skip meals. You should eat 3 meals with 2 snacks per day. Try to limit snacks to a single serving of protein or fruits and vegetables. If you are eating a 2,000-calorie diet, you will reduce to 1,500 calories. If you are eating a 2,500-calorie diet, you will reduce to 1,875 calories for 4 days. Replace all full-fat dairy products with no-fat dairy products. While eating high-protein, no-fat Greek yogurt each day can help you lose weight faster, full fat cheeses and milk can pack on lbs. Choose non-dairy proteins for the next 4 days. Eat salmon, tuna, mackerel, turkey, chicken, and beans or lean cuts of meat in 4 oz. sizes for lunch and dinner. Eat 1 serving of almonds or 1 serving of Greek yogurt for a post-workout snack, starting on day 2. Drink only water, tea or drip coffee for the next 4 days.  Alcoholic beverages, sodas...

Staying grounded can help you to navigate disagreements with your parents.  Listen to your body and pay attention if you find yourself getting anxious or upset.  The more aware you are of these physical and behavioral symptoms, the better you can control them with time.  Patience takes practice.  Practice stopping yourself before getting too upset with them. Avoid getting defensive or reacting quickly when they make an accusation.  Learn to express yourself through patience rather than frustration. For example, if your mother makes a negative comment about what you're doing that makes you upset, stop yourself before reacting.  Consider saying to her, “I’m sorry you feel that way.  I don’t want to get into a battle about who’s right and wrong.  Can we try to talk this through in a respectful way?” Stop and think before you start to attack what they said or did.  If they're trying to seemingly give advice, give them a chance to speak.  Don’t talk over them. Listen until they’ve finished their thought.  The more times that you give them an opportunity to speak, the more times you can help to teach them to also listen rather than talk over others. Be open-minded about why they may be saying or acting a certain way.  Give them a chance in the same way you would want them to give you a chance. Avoid yelling, screaming, or bad-mouthing them as a way to make your point.  While getting upset will happen from time to time, avoid making it the common way of communicating with your parents.  Use ‘I’ statements to express your feelings about what’s bothering you.  For example, say, “I feel frustrated when you express dissatisfaction with the person I’m dating.” Show your parents that you are mature and able to express your thoughts without getting immediately upset.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте терпение. Сначала внимательно слушайте, а потом отвечайте на услышанное. Выражайте свои чувства спокойно.


Staying hydrated can help replace fluids you lose producing mucus or from a fever. Ensuring you consume enough liquids may help you feel better and get over the cold more quickly.  You can drink water, juice, clear broth, or even clear, non-caffeinated soft drinks. Avoid coffee or caffeinated teas and soft drinks because they can cause dehydration and exacerbate your symptoms. Recent studies have shown that the long-time home remedy of chicken soup can decrease inflammation and reduce symptoms, congestion in particular. If you don't like chicken, you can always make a vegetable soup instead! Eating chicken soup as you can may minimize your symptoms and help you get over your cold more quickly.  Chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties and also temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus through the nose, which in turn relieves congestion. You don’t have to make your own chicken soup to get the benefits — store-bought, canned soup works just as well. Alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco products can exacerbate the symptoms of a cold. Avoiding these products while you are sick may make you feel better and reduce the duration of your symptoms. Rinsing with a simple solution of salt water can keep help relieve a sore and scratchy throat. Although the benefits are temporary, you can use this remedy as often as you need it to help yourself feel better.  Make a salt solution by dissolving 1/4 – 1/2 tsp of salt in 4 – 8 oz of warm water. Gargle the solution, being careful not to swallow. Throat lozenges or sprays containing mild analgesics can help soothe a sore throat. Products that have eucalyptus or camphor may also help to relieve congestion.  Suck on throat lozenges or use sprays every two to three hours, or according to the package or your doctor’s directions. Suck on the throat lozenge until it is completely gone. Don't try to chew it or swallow it whole, which can numb your throat and cause swallowing difficulties. You can buy throat lozenges and sprays at most pharmacies and some grocery stores and larger...

Используйте солевой назальный спрей. Снимайте боль с помощью отпускаемых без рецепта медикаментов. Как можно больше отдыхайте. Позаботьтесь о подходящей обстановке для сна. Подумайте о том, чтобы принимать сопутствующие лекарственные средства. Посетите врача.


Staying hydrated is an important part of preventing muscle spasms. Muscles are more likely to cramp up if they are dehydrated. This is vital if you are working out. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water or healthy drinks throughout your day. Replace electrolytes, especially sodium and potassium, when you're exercising or sick. You can do this through diet or electrolyte-enhanced beverages. Keep healthy by eating the right foods and nutrients. This can prevent muscle spasms. Adjusting your diet can help relieve intestinal spasms caused by irritable bowel syndrome. Potassium, antioxidants and healthy fats are especially good for muscle spasms. These foods are known to help with spasms: Bananas, potatoes, prune juice, dried fruits, oranges, brown rice, avocados, spinach, seafood, almonds, flaxseed, oats, sesame seeds, tofu, and kale. Regular exercise can help reduce muscle cramps since it stretches and strengthens the muscle. This can help injured muscles. Gentle physical therapy can gradually help the muscle heal, which may reduce spasms. Regular exercise also improves your overall health. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about what exercises will help your muscles. Since spasms occur when a muscle contracts, stretching helps prevent these contractions. Stretching exercises keep your muscles loose and flexible. Make sure to stretch your muscles before and after any exercise, especially if the exercise is rigorous or for an extended period of time. If you have muscles that often cramp at night, stretch those muscles before bed to loosen them up. You may also try light cardio, like riding a stationary bike, before sleeping to loosen the muscles and prevent cramps.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте много жидкости. Правильно питайтесь. Занимайтесь физическими упражнениями. Регулярно делайте упражнения на растяжку.


Staying hydrated with plain, clean water is one of the most important boosters to your health and immunity.  You should try to drink 8 cups of water each day, but drinking more at the first sign of illness may help you ward off impending sickness. Sugar can make you gain weight, feel sluggish due to sugar crashes after consumption, and it can also reduce the efficacy of your immune system.  Remember that many people drink more sugar than they realize in beverages.  Check nutrition labels on sodas and other drinks carefully for sugar content and serving size to ensure that you know how much sugar you are drinking. Even foods that do not seem sweet may contain corn syrup or sugar.  Read the labels of processed foods carefully to be sure that you know what you are putting in your body. The cinnamon rolls in the corner store are not at all as satisfying as those in a bakery. More expensive or higher quality sweets can be so delicious and expensive you don't feel cravings for them anymore or as often.  Consider substitutions you make yourself. Making a jelly sandwich will contain less sugar and fat than store-bought pastries and not include other added additives. Look for simple products with the least numbers of ingredients and easy to read or explained ingredient names. Those frozen entries and pre-made food go through processes unknown to the average consumer and contain many additional ingredients that can either harm or help your immune system. Gain control of what and how much of what ingredients go into your food by cooking your own and being selective. Avoid eating bleached flours, cereals, and baked goods.There's no real measurable amount of fiber in them and have gluten which turns to dough in one's digestive system causing strain on this critical part of the body's immune system. The best way to maintain a comprehensive array of immune-boosting vitamins and minerals is to consume a variety of healthy, fresh vegetables and fruits.  Brightly colored fruits often contain more nutrients than their paler...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте больше воды. Не ешьте простые сахара. Ешьте более качественные варианты вредной еды. Не ешьте сильно переработанные продукты. Ешьте больше фруктов и овощей. Ешьте больше чеснока. Ешьте белок.


Staying well-hydrated is one of the most important steps to take when combating nausea. Try drinking an extra 16 oz of water beyond what you normally drink at night. Many doctors recommend ginger or peppermint tea as a remedy for nausea. The teas and their scents can help calm your stomach. You can also try either flavor in different forms — ginger in foods is common, and peppermint candies can also help. Many people find that the bubbles of carbonation can help an upset stomach. Choose ginger ale or citrus-flavored carbonated beverages. Use sparingly, since soda is not very healthy. A small glass can sometimes help, often coupled with some crackers or other bland food.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте много воды. Пейте чай. Проверьте, помогут ли вам газированные напитки.


Steel cuticle pushers are best for tough, hard cuticles. Wooden cuticle pushers are best for soft cuticles. Some have blunt rounded ends, others have sharp pointy ends or spoon-shaped ends and yet others are curved. The most common one has a rounded tip on one end and a sharp tip on the other.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определитесь, какой вам нужен пушер: Выберите необходимую верхушку пушера для кутикулы.


Steep 2-3 tea bags of pure chamomile tea in a cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Let cool and transfer to a spray bottle or pour directly onto clean, damp hair, then rinse.  Leave in for 30-60 minutes or longer, or sit out in the sun with the chamomile tea still in for stronger results.  Add additional ingredients to the spray such as lemon juice, white vinegar, or raw honey to help strengthen the lightening effect. Leave in hair for the same length of time, but note that repeated applications with lemon juice can dry out hair slightly.  In addition to enhancing blonde tones, chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties to soothe the scalp, conditions hair, and encourages hair growth. Steep 2 tea bags of calendula tea, or ¼ cup calendula petals in a cup of boiling water. Let cool and put into a spray bottle or directly into hair before gently rinsing.  Leave the tea in for longer, or sit out in the sun with it in, for stronger results. Combine with chamomile tea, or other ingredients like lemon juice, white vinegar, or raw honey to help strengthen the lightening effect. In addition to golden tones, calendula also has soothing and antibacterial properties for the scalp. Cut up a half cup of fresh rhubarb root or use 3 or 4 tablespoons (44.4 or 59.1 ml) of dried rhubarb root and add to a pot with a quart of water. Simmer for 20 minutes and let steep overnight. Strain out the pieces and use the remaining liquid in a spray or rinse on your hair.  Avoid inhaling the steam created from simmering the root over heat, as rhubarb roots and leaves contain a high quantity of oxalic acid, which is toxic to ingest but makes the lightening effect last longer.  This treatment will also help mask gray hairs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Для процедуры легкого осветления волос заварите ромашковый чай. Используйте чай с календулой, чтобы придать локонам золотистый оттенок. Чтобы получить максимально светлые локоны, следует заварить чай из корня ревеня.


Stick to hair care products that are made from natural ingredients, which will keep your hair feeling nourished and moisturized. Sulfate tends to make hair more frizzy and dry, which makes it more prone to breakage in the long-run. Using sulfate-free hair products is particularly important if you dye or use chemical treatments on your hair. Although keratin is essential for strong hair, the ingredients and high temperatures involved in chemical treatments tend to do far more damage than good. Chemical treatments tend to thin your hair, making it more susceptible to breakage and loss. Shampoos and conditioners that contain keratin are fine to use, as it’s mainly the process of chemical treatments which is damaging. After you have finished washing your hair with lukewarm water, rinse it out with cold water to close your hair follicles. This reduces your chances of frizz and hair loss.  Washing your hair with cold or lukewarm water means that it will be healthier, and therefore it’s able to grow out more quickly. Avoid washing your hair with hot or scorching water, and this will strip your hair of moisture, making it more susceptible to falling out. You only need to rinse your hair with cold water for a few seconds. Wrap your hair up in a microfiber towel in the same way that you would with a thick cotton towel. A microfiber towel will dry your hair without damaging fragile hairs in the same way that a thick cotton towel would. Air-drying your hair can also help immensely to keep it healthy. Use a microfiber towel to dry your hair to about 60%, and then let the rest dry naturally. Change your pillowcase for something softer, such as silk or satin. Cotton pillowcases create friction with your hair, which makes it more prone to damage and less likely to grow out. Using a silk or satin pillowcase also means that you will wake up with fewer tangles. Hair straighteners and curling irons can damage and break your hair due to striping away the moisture. Let your hair dry naturally, and avoid styling it with heating...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте безсульфатные средства для ухода, чтобы защитить волосы. Не подвергайте волосы химической обработке, такой как лечение кератином. Мойте волосы теплой водой, чтобы предотвратить их ломкость. Для сушки волос используйте тонкое полотенце из микроволокна. Используйте шелковую или атласную наволочку вместо хлопковой. Не используйте горячие средства для укладки, чтобы ускорить рост волос.


Stick to rifle-style rounds (easily identifiable by a necked-down casing, unlike the .22 where the case is the same diameter from end to end). These rounds have a much higher powder to bullet weight ratio, which results in higher muzzle velocities. Of course, if the cost of doing so is too high, .22lr practice will at least get you trigger time with plenty of economy. It is more consistent and uses higher quality bullets; for plinking, cheap ammunition selection is fine. Low report (noise) and low recoil make it less likely to startle your prey if you miss, and quicker on follow up shots. Some of the more powerful .224 caliber rounds work quite well and will extend your range well past that of the .22lr. Though it is possible to kill this size of animal with smaller rounds, it becomes essential to get a head or heart shot; else the animal may die a slow painful death, or not die at all. Though for smaller animals a round as large as a .308 will be approaching the range of overkill, something in between these sizes is recommended. Even a .223 could kill these animals, but with smaller rounds, the bullet precision is much more important. If using smaller diameter rounds for large game, heavier bullets will transfer energy more quickly into the target. Larger calibers such as the .338 Winchester Magnum or 45-70 and larger are helpful for use against very large wild game such as buffalo, or dangerous game abroad. However many people will suggest that accuracy is more important for hunting than caliber size, for instance some guides would have a client use a .270 for animals like bear and moose if they can shoot it accurately over a higher powered cartridge like the .300 Winchester Magnum.  Bullet weight is expressed in GRAINS, a common measure of gunpowder and bullet weight.  Light bullets are often favored for varmint and target shooting. The higher velocity allows a flat trajectory within a couple hundred yards of the muzzle. The bullet reaches the target quicker, so less leading is required as well. Heavier...

TL;DR in Russian:

Для тренировочной стрельбы всегда используйте калибр .308. Для конкурентноспособной стрельбы по мишеням, предпочтительнее патроны матч-класса. Они являются более последовательными и используют пули более высокого качества, но дешевые патроны так же подойдут.  Для стрельбы по малым хищным животным (меньше чем койот – такие как белки, кролики, птицы и т. Для стрельбы по большим хищным животным (таким, как койоты или даже маленький кабан) .223 вероятно самый маленький калибр, который вы можете использовать. Для диких животных (кабан, олень и т. Хотя мы будем иметь дело больше с целями и животными, рассмотрим ситуацию, в которой должен быть застрелен человек. Вес пули стоит рассмотреть, но зачастую это имеет меньшее значение, чем дизайн пули.


Stick with water. Water is healthy, plentiful, cheap, and actually tastes good. Water flushes out harmful toxins, carries nutrients to cells, and provides a moist environment for bodily tissues that need it. Doctors recommend drinking 64 ounces of fluid per day, or about 1.9 liters (0.5 US gal).  Avoid sodas, energy drinks, concentrated juices, etc.They're a weakness for us all, but they make shaving off those pounds really difficult. All of these drinks have tons of sugar and empty calories in them, sometimes as much as 300, which can negate a whole workout. Drink green tea for a great source of antioxidants and negligible calories.Green tea contains about ten times the polyphenols as most other veggies and assists the body in protecting its cells from free radicals. Best of all, tea contains 1-2 calories per liter, which means that a simple cup of tea (unsweetened) is about as guilt-free as it gets! Drink a cup of tea or a glass of water 30 minutes before you eat a meal. This will trick your body into believing it's more full than it actually is, meaning that your cravings will be lower and you'll be inclined to eat less during a meal. If you drink water or other liquid right before you eat, this could lead to indigestion, so wait a while after drinking before eating. You do not need to go on a diet in order to eat healthy. Simply watching what you eat will help you to slim down and get fit. When eating healthy you should consider what sort of items from each food group you should be eating. Try to eat balanced meals every time you sit down to eat.  Carbohydrates: Complex carbs are absorbed more slowly by your body so they don’t overload your system. These include oats, whole-wheat products, and unprocessed grains such as brown rice. Protein: Choose lean meat when getting your protein intake. Lean meats include fish and poultry. Other forms of good protein include beans, soy products, and nuts. Fruits and vegetables: While it may be hard to believe, there are actually better fruits and veggies than others...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте больше жидкости, но отказывайтесь от сладких напитков. Ешьте полезную пищу. Присмотритесь к низкоуглеводной диете (диете Аткинса). Знайте, какие продукты запрещены при низкоуглеводной диете. Подумайте о низкокалорийной диете. Узнайте все о кетогенной диете.


Sticking to a healthy diet can help you avoid bad breath and pungent body odor, as well as keeping you healthy and trim. Try incorporating some of these guidelines into your diet:  Avoid junk food and items that are high in sugar, it can cause problems for your skin and make you look older. These treats are fine every once in a while, but they shouldn't be an everyday thing. Try to limit modest amounts of soda, beer, candy bars, potato chips and other junky items to one "cheat" day per week. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. You've heard it a hundred times, but eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables is vital to a healthy diet. Consider trying to eat fresh fruit (such as apples, oranges, and pears) as a snack, and try to eat at least one vegetable at both lunch and dinner. Learn to prepare food. Start with simple things - boil eggs, make sandwiches and salads, cook burgers and steaks, heat frozen veggies, boil rice and pasta. It will save you money, improve your health and impress people! Consistent physical activity can not only help your body look more attractive, but it also lifts your mood and keeps you from getting sick as often. Set up a plan that works for you, and stick to it. Here are some suggestions to get you started:  Do basic stretches, sit-ups, push-ups, and other exercises every other day. Stay consistent with the number of repetitions. Then, as your muscles improve, increase the number of repetitions you do and you will see results. Try different weightlifting plans. Try to do as much as you can, but don't overextend yourself, and give your muscles rest days to heal and build muscle. Working out every day may actually be bad for you! However, don't be afraid of becoming way too buff. Bodybuilders in magazines look that huge because lifting weights is the only thing they do for a living. It won't happen to you. The primary core lifts are Bench Press, Squat, Overhead Press, and Deadlift. Weighted pull ups and dips can be great accessories to these. If you need more chest work, consider...

TL;DR in Russian:

Хорошо питайтесь. Занимайтесь спортом. Тренируйте не только тело, но и разум.


Sticking up for other people can go a long way toward preventing potential rape. It's not always easy to intervene in uncomfortable situations, but it's worth the awkwardness when you stand the chance to prevent rape from occurring. For example, if you're at a party and you see a person trying to make a move on your friend who's intoxicated, walk over and make it clear you're keeping an eye on him/her. Find an excuse to insert yourself into the situation.  "I brought you some water." "Do you want to get some air?" "Are you doing okay? Would you like me to stay with you?" "I love this song! Let's go dance." "My car is out back. Would you like a ride home?" "JESSI! Oh my gosh, it's been so long! How have you been?" (This works even on strangers. Unless they're too drunk to understand, they'll happily play along in order to get rid of the predator.) You may wish to confront them, or simply distract them.  "Leave her alone. She can hardly stand on her own. My friends and I will walk her home." "Hey, he said no. He's clearly not into it." "Excuse me, sir? Your car is being towed." Just having a few people present could be enough to deter someone from attempting rape.   Tell the host or bartender what is going on. Enlist friends (your own, or friends of one of the parties). Call campus safety, tell a security guard, or call the police. If you don't know what else to do, bring a social gathering to a halt. Turn off the lights, or turn off the music. This can distract or embarrass the would-be rapist, and call attention to the fact that something is wrong. If you go to a party with a friend, don't leave the person behind when you're ready to go. Leaving someone behind, especially with a group of people who are just acquaintances or strangers, puts that person in a vulnerable position. This is especially true when there are alcohol or drugs involved at the party.  Before you leave, locate your friend and see how she's doing. Don't leave unless you're confident the situation is safe and she'll be able to get home...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не бойтесь вмешаться. Высматривайте потенциальных насильников. Обратитесь к потенциальному насильнику. Попросите друзей помощи, чтобы справиться с ситуацией. Создайте небольшой переполох. Не оставляйте ваших друзей одних на вечеринке. Используйте систему приятелей, чтобы все добрались домой благополучно. Не бойтесь сказать, если вы знаете, что кто-то насильник. Внесите свой вклад, чтобы предотвратить изнасилование.


Stir 2 teaspoons of powdered Agar per into 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Keep stirring with a whisk until the Agar dissolves. At this point, you can sweeten it with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook it for 2 minutes, then remove it from heat and pour into some molds, cups, or small bowls. It will set in about an hour, but you can speed up the process by putting it into the fridge for 20 minutes.  You can also use 1 tablespoon of Agar flakes instead. Soak the Agar flakes in water for 30 minutes first. Drain the water and squeeze the extra moisture out of the flakes. Add the flakes to 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water and cook for 2 minutes. Agar is made from seaweed. You may also find it labeled as: Agar-Agar, China grass, or kanten. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder over 6tablespoons of cold water and set aside to bloom, about 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 4 cups (1 liter) of heavy cream and ½ cup (100 grams) of sugar in a saucepan over a stove. When the sugar dissolves, stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the bloomed gelatin, and stir with a spoon to mix. Pour the panna cotta into cups or molds, and let set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.  You can also use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. This will give you a lighter panna cotta. Keep in mind that gelatin made with dairy may take longer to set. Pour two packets of unflavored gelatin over 1 cup (225 milliliters) of juice. Boil 3 cups (675 milliliters) of juice, then pour it over the gelatin-juice. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved and everything is combined. Pour the gelatin into molds. You can also use cups or small bowls. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until the gelatin becomes firm. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gelatin over ½ cup (112.50 milliliters) of cold water and set aside to bloom. Dissolve 1/3 cup (75 grams) sugar in 1 cup (225 milliliters) of hot water. Add in the bloomed gelatin and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir until everything has dissolved. Pour...

Stir it into the mixture so that it gets coated in oil and bits of squid. Use a wooden spoon to incorporate the rice into the onions, peppers and squid. Cook until the rice begins to smell toasty and fragrant. Add three cups of the stock, the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to loosen the frying onions and peppers and stir the mixture together. Turn up the heat to bring it to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer and let the paella cook.  Do not stir the rice and other ingredients after you pour in the broth.     As the rice cooks and absorbs the broth, slowly add more broth 1/2 cup at a time. Continue adding broth until the rice is completely cooked.

TL;DR in Russian:

Stir the essential oil directly into the container of white distilled vinegar for a minute or so to ensure that the two liquids combine well.  Note that the essential oil is not necessary. The vinegar is the component responsible for softening clothes. It strips away residue on your clothes that would otherwise make them stiff, and it has properties that can break down some of the minerals found in hard water supplies. If you do decide to use essential oils, you can use any scents you want. For a normal load, fill a fabric softener ball with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the fabric softener solution or add the same amount directly to the washer just before the rinse cycle begins.  Do not add the fabric softener to the machine before its primary wash cycle. Pour the rest of the fabric softener into a storage container. Make sure that this fabric softener is labeled so that you do not accidentally use it for another purpose. Shake or stir well to before each use to make sure that the essential oil and vinegar have not separated as it sat. You do not need to do anything special from this point on. Let your rinse cycle finish up as it normally would.

TL;DR in Russian:

Stir the ingredients well to combine them. Do not overheat it, or the syrup will turn into caramel. If it does begin to caramelize, though, all you have to do is to add a bit of water, stir the ingredients together, and heat it up again. Set the syrup aside -- you'll need it later when you have to soak the dough balls in it. Alternately, you can keep it warm over very low heat. Stir these ingredients well in a bowl to fully combine them. You should melt the butter a bit first to make it easier to combine. These ingredients will add a unique texture to this tasty dessert. Continue to stir the ingredients until you create a nice thick and creamy substance. If the dough is still not creamy enough, keep adding a bit more milk until the dough is smooth and creamy. This doesn't have to be exact, and not every portion has to be identical. Just try to pinch out roughly twenty portions of dough, which you will then roll into balls. Try to make each ball smaller than a small lime. They will become larger when you deep fry them, and you don't want them to be too big. Just take each portion and roll it into a ball using one hand to roll it in your other palm, or rolling it on an even surface like a cutting board. Try to make the balls as smooth as possible because cracks will make the Jamuns disintegrate when they're soaked in syrup. To make them as smooth as possible, you can grease your palms with oil or ghee while you make the balls. When you've finished, place them on a plate and get ready to fry them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нагревайте сахар, воду, кардамон, шафран и розовую воду в кастрюле в течение 5 минут. Выключите огонь. Смешайте сухое молоко, смесь для выпечки Bisquick и сливочное масло.

Stir the sugar water often to keep the sugar from scorching. This will make your simple syrup. You are boiling the water and sugar, because sugar does not mix well into cold water. If you already have your lemonade, click here to learn how to put the drink together. This will take about 4 to 5 lemons. Rinse the lemons well, then cut them in half. Squeeze them using a lemon juicer, and discard the pulp and seeds. Make sure that the pitcher is large enough to hold 6 cups (1.4 liters) of liquid. Give the water a gentle stir to help mix in the lemon juice. How much you use is up to you. Some people like their lemonade very sweet, while others prefer something more tart. You likely won't use all of the sugar-water. If you have any of the sugar-water left over, store it in the fridge, and use it to sweeten your drinks and desserts within a few days. The sugar-water will likely still be very hot and will make your lemonade warm. You will need to wait for the lemonade to reach room temperature before you move on. If you are in a hurry, add 2 to 3 handfuls of ice into the pitcher.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подождите, пока лимонад охладится до комнатной температуры.


Stir with a popsicle stick until combined.  Add up to 1 tbsp. of dried color pigment or a smaller amount of oil paint. Increase the amounts to brighten the color.     You can add turmeric as a natural dye to create a yellow hue.    If your clay becomes too cold, wrap it in plastic wrap and wrap it with a hot water bottle filled with boiling water for 5 minutes.

Stomach aches may be beat by neutralizing the acid in the stomach with different medicines. Antacids like Pepto-Bismol, Maalox, Tums, or Rolaids help to coat the stomach and counteract the negative effects of stomach acids. Take these treatments in tablet or liquid form, as directed by a pharmacist or physician.  To prevent stomach aches, take a stomach-acid blocker like Pepcid Complete about 30 minutes before eating. Stomach aches caused by indigestion may be accompanied by heartburn, another symptom of indigestion. Antacids can help manage indigestion, but they don't treat the root cause. Work with your doctor to manage the causes of your indigestion and keep stomach aches away long-term. If constipation is causing your stomach ache, ask your pharmacist or doctor about taking a laxative to stimulate bowel movement. Mild over-the-counter laxatives may take 2-3 days to work, while stimulant laxatives will work faster with possible side effects like cramping. Take the medication exactly as directed and do not exceed the approved dose.  Do not use laxatives for more than 2 weeks at a time as your body may become dependant on them. Your stomach ache is likely to be caused by constipation if you are also experiencing bloating, fatigue, or loss of appetite. Overeating, consuming high-fiber foods, and eating too fast can all cause gas. Ease stomach pain caused by excess gas by taking an over-the-counter medication that contains simethicone. This ingredient will help to break up the bubbles in gas allowing it to pass through your digestive tract more easily.  Your stomach ache is likely caused by excess gas if you are burping, passing gas, and have a bloated and distended stomach. For gas-related stomach aches, you can also get digestive enzymes. These help reduce symptoms such as pain, indigestion, bloating, and gas. Ginger is know for being a digestive aid and easing upset stomachs. Drink ginger tea or water infused with natural ginger to ease your stomach ache. Avoid commercial ginger ales, as most do not contain...

TL;DR in Russian:

При несварении желудка из-за повышенной кислотности принимайте отпускаемые без рецепта антацидные средства. Если боль в животе вызвана запором, примите слабительное. Если боль в животе вызвана повышенным газообразованием, примите средство от газов. Облегчите пищеварение с помощью имбиря. Пейте ромашковый чай, чтобы расслабить мышцы желудка. Чтобы снять боль в животе, выпейте чай из перечной мяты или пососите мятный леденец. Приложите к животу грелку или пластиковую бутылку с горячей водой.


Stones or gravel may also be used. These materials prevent the drainage holes from getting clogged with potting mix, creating better drainage conditions as a result. You can find most of these materials at a garden supply store, but if you are unable to locate them, you can also collect stones from a nearby creek or use a hammer to break an old clay pot into pieces. If collecting these materials from nature, though, you should sterilize them by soaking them in hot soapy water, or in a solution made with one part bleach and four parts water. Rotted turf can be obtained by digging up a patch of grass and soil, dumping it into a spare pot, and soaking it for several days. Place the turf upside-down on top of the crocks. Alternatively, you can also use rotted farm manure or garden compost. These materials may be easier to find at garden or farming supply stores. Regardless of what you choose, these materials should all be kept away from the clematis root ball, however, since bacteria and insect eggs could be lurking inside the rot and could cause problems to the newly growing plant. Loam-based compost works best because it retains moisture more effectively than loam-free compost. Moreover, clematis need a rich soil filled with nutrients, making a compost-based potting mix essential. Clematis roots can grow in tightly packed soil, and the firmer you pack it in, the less it will sink upon being watered. Ideally, the top of your soil will only be 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the rim of the container. Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and allow the root ball to soak in the water for 10 to 20 minutes. You will need to fill the bucket with around one gallon of water for every inch in diameter of the root ball. This should be done before you plant it, since you want to make sure that the root ball is thoroughly drenched. When the hole seems just big enough for the root ball to fit, dig out an additional 2 inches (5.1 cm) of compost. The root ball needs these extra few inches of "wiggle room" in order to thrive. Verify that...

TL;DR in Russian:

На дно горшка положите осколки керамической посуды. Уложите в горшок слой дерна, богатого питательными веществами. Наполните горшок почвой. Утрамбуйте почву. Опустите корни клематиса в воду. Выкопайте небольшую ямку для корней с помощью садового совка. Опустите корни в ямку. Заполните ямку землей. Полейте почву.


Stop by the nurse’s office before school starts or in between classes. Mention that you’re not feeling great and ask for some over the counter medication. If you’re planning to claim a sore throat, ask for cough drops. If you’re going to fake stomach issues, ask for an antacid. Going to the nurse preemptively will show the nurse that you’re gradually getting worse throughout the day. It will also demonstrate that you have already tried to feel better and stay in class. This will help show that you haven’t felt well. That way, if the nurse checks with your teacher, they’ll learn that you’ve already had to be excused during class.  If you’re planning to claim stomach troubles, you can say, “I’m not doing well. I even had to run to the bathroom during History class.” Try coughing before asking to leave class if you are going to fake a cold. If your school allows you to use your phone between classes, let your parents know that you aren’t feeling well. That way, if the nurse does call them, they won’t sound surprised. This will increase your credibility with the nurse. You can also plant this seed by telling your parents that you aren’t feeling great before you leave for school. Just a simple, “I’m so tired today and I’m getting a sore throat,” should do the trick. By now you’ve left a trail of evidence that you’re not feeling well. Head to the nurse and explain the situation to them, reminding them that you already stopped by earlier.  Say, “I don’t think those cough drops you gave me earlier are working. My sore throat is getting worse, and I really don’t feel well.” If you want to be excused early in the morning, you’ll have to speed this process up. Drop hints to your parents, stop by the nurse’s office right when you get to school, and then asked to be excused shortly after your first class starts.

TL;DR in Russian:

С утра попросите у медсестры леденцы от кашля или другое лекарство. Отпроситесь в туалет во время занятий. Напишите родителям, что вы идете к медсестре. Вернитесь к медсестре и пожалуйтесь, что симптомы ухудшились.


Stop the machine after everything is well mixed. Then, allow the towels to soak in the vinegar solution for about one hour. After the hour is up, turn the machine back on and allow the cycle to complete. Next, you will need to run the wash cycle again, but this time add another cup of vinegar and your usual laundry detergent. Use the same amount that you would usually use for a load and allow the cycle to run through as usual, except with an extra spin cycle. You can either select “extra spin cycle” if your machine has this feature or restart the spin cycle after the first one finishes. As soon as the second spin cycle finishes, put the towels into the dryer. Turn your dryer on the highest setting and run it until the towels are completely dry. Then, run the towels through the dryer for a second time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Замочите полотенца в стиральной машине. Добавьте уксус и моющее средство. Сразу после стирки поместите полотенца в сушильную машину.


Stop using your computer, television, tablet, and smartphone to get to sleep more quickly. All of these gadgets emit blue light, which can prevent you from sleeping for a time after being exposed to it. To make matters worse, these screens are brightly backlit, beaming light directly into your eyes. Wind down the day by powering down your devices.  Set the notifications on your phone to stop at night to keep from being distracted or tempted to look at its screen.  If you can't tear yourself away from your devices, try reducing their damage instead. Use an app that filters out blue light before bed. Some phones and tablets now come with these settings already programmed in.  Certain e-readers without LCD screens or backlights do not emit blue light or shine directly into the eyes. These are comparable to reading a conventional book and may be used before bedtime. Hunger can make it difficult to get to sleep. If notice that you feel a little hungry while getting ready for bed, make sure to have a small snack. It's also a good idea to have some water if you're prone to waking up dehydrated.  Some foods that can help you get to sleep more quickly are bananas, turkey, yogurt, peanut butter, dairy products, and whole-grain crackers.  Many people relax with a caffeine-free, nonalcoholic beverage like herbal tea or warm milk while getting ready for bed. Don't eat a large meal before bed. Make sure your snack isn't fatty or spicy. You'll also save time in the morning by taking care of a few things while you wind down. Some examples of things you can do are:  Laying out your outfit. Setting up your coffee maker. Packing your lunch. You can take care of most of the rest of your routine in a towel while you dry off.  A warm shower can help you relax before bed. Most people don't need to wash their hair every day. Shave time off your bedtime routine by shampooing a few times a week or less. If you have fine, oily hair, though, you should probably keep up your daily washes. Contrary to popular belief, it can be ok to go to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Отключите все электронные устройства хотя бы за час до того, как отправиться спать. Перекусите, если вы голодны. Приготовьте заранее все, что вам понадобится утром. Примите душ, если вы моетесь перед сном. Почистите зубы. Заберитесь в постель. Читайте, пока вас не начнет клонить в сон.


Stores that sell dry ice include Safeway, Walmart, and Costco.  Plan to pick up dry ice as close to the time you will need it as possible.  Since it is constantly changing from solid to gas, it has a very short shelf-life.  Every 24 hours, 5-10 pounds of dry ice turns from a solid to a gas.  Though most people can buy dry ice, some stores will require you to be at least 18 years of age in order to purchase it. Performing school experiments and creating fog effects both require blocks of dry ice.  Dry ice also comes in pellet form but is mainly used for dry ice blasting to clean surfaces, or for medical transportation. The price of dry ice ranges anywhere from $1.00 to $3.00 per pound.  Though prices vary based on amount and location, it generally tends to be cheap. Since dry ice is much colder than traditional freezing containers (-109.3 degrees Fahrenheit which is  -78.5 degrees Celsius), it won't be kept cool by your average freezer or refrigerator.  The thicker insulated your cooler or ice chest is, the slower the dry ice will sublimate. Open and close the container as little as possible to slow down the sublimation process.  You can also fill the open space in the cooler with wadded paper to limit dead space and slow down sublimation as well.  Storing dry ice in the freezer may actually shut off your freezer's thermostat.  Since dry ice is extremely cold, your freezer will shut off to keep foods from over-freezing.  Consequently, if your freezer breaks down and you need to keep the food inside frozen, you can put dry ice inside and it will act as a substitute. Remember, dry ice is carbon dioxide and is harmful if inhaled in large quantities. Fresh air is especially important if you are transporting dry ice for longer than 15 minutes.  Being in a poorly ventilated area with dry ice can cause rapid breathing and headaches and can be lethal if breathed over long periods.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите лед в местном продуктовом или обычном общем магазине. Покупайте лед в виде блока. Поместите сухой лед в изолированный контейнер, как пластиковый кулер/ ящик для льда. Поместите охладитель в ваш автомобиль и опустите окна.


Storing your bike out of sight allows for other priorities to get in the way of your biking routine. According to Stanford health psychologist and fitness instructor Kelly Mc Gonigal , having a reminder to exercise will keep you motivated to do so. Store your bike in a place where you will be able to use it. An occasional change of scenery will break up the monotony of riding the same route over and over again, and it will present new physical challenges. You can bike to work or do errands around town on a bike. The average bicycle commuter loses weight without putting forth any extra effort. You’ll also save money on gas and have an easy time finding parking.  If you’re planning to ride your bike to work, bring a change of clothes and consider showering at the office, if that’s possible. Whatever you do, avoid being too sweaty at work. Plan your route to work carefully to make sure you’re not late for work. Make the trip on a day you’re not working so that you can get comfortable with the routine. Having friends you can ride with, whether in a spinning class at the gym or on the open road, means that you can exercise and socialize at the same time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Храните велосипед в удобном месте и на виду. Меняйте маршруты. Попробуйте ездить на работу на велосипеде. Подружитесь с другими велосипедистами.


Strapless dresses come in all varieties and lengths, some brushing generously across the floor as you walk and others barely skimming your upper thigh. In order to accessorize properly, you should take note of your dress’s length and add accoutrement accordingly.  If your strapless dress is short, play up your shoes.  Depending on how much walking you’ll be doing and how comfortable you are in heels, you can select some flashy peep-toe pumps or towering stilettos in which to prance the night away. Long strapless dresses are elegant and visually striking. They don’t require flashy jewelry to make them look refined, so it can be a good idea, If you’re wearing a floor-length dress, to let it (and your décolletage!) do the talking.  If you’ve opted for one of these show-stopping full-length gowns and you find yourself a bit unsteady on heels, consider kitten heels or simple ballet flats. A floor-length gown will likely obscure your shoes most of the time. You can take a cue from the color and print of your dress in order to determine which accessories you want to use.  If your dress is monochromatic or otherwise understated, you can make your footwear the focal point of your entire outfit.  To do so, slip on some brightly colored wedges or strappy stilettos. On the other hand, if your dress features a bold print or pattern, go for a solid, neutral hue of shoe.  Think about breaking up a monochromatic dress with a belt.  A thick, shiny, or ornate belt can take the place of a statement jewelry piece while adding visual interest the solid blocks of color.  Imagine a little black strapless dress as if it were a blank canvas. The little black dress (LBD) is what you make of it, so go bold and colorful with a statement jewelry piece can transform a simple, minimalist look into a fancy and sophisticated one. The overall look and tone of a strapless dress depends heavily on how it is cut to fit the body, so, before deciding on accessories, you might want to think about how its design.  If your strapless dress is...

Stress has been linked to increases of visceral fat in both men and women.  Stress causes your body to produce more stress hormones like cortisol. Cortisol sends signals to your body to store fat. The stress is a signal to your body that food may be scarce in the future. Many studies suggest women show more physical symptoms of stress than men, including weight gain in the belly. Regulating stress in your life will help you lose belly fat faster than diet and exercise alone. Do 10-second breaths. Sit in a comfortable position. Inhale for 10 seconds, and then exhale for 10 seconds. Breathe in this manner for 2 to 5 minutes. People who are stressed usually breathe rapidly in and out and take shallow breaths, without even realizing it. Do 10-second breathing every time you are stressed or at 5 different interval throughout the day. If you are not able to get enough Vitamin C through food, taking a Vitamin C supplement can help manage the cortisol in your blood and regulate the effects of stress on your body.  Try to eat more cantaloupe, oranges, red and green peppers, kiwi, broccoli or tomatoes. A serving of each has between 40 and 100mg of Vitamin C. Eat 500mg of Vitamin C daily. Try to get the majority of your Vitamin C from food sources. Take a 200mg supplement of Vitamin C if you are not reaching your 500mg goal. You may take a 500mg supplement for a week, if you feel you are getting very little Vitamin C in your diet. Sleeping well manages stress and hormone levels.  People who sleep less than 7 hours per day can also raise cortisol and ghrelin levels, causing you to gain belly weight. Ghrelin is a hormone that brings cravings for sweet and fatty foods. If deep breathing is helping, then yoga and meditation may be the best way to regulate cortisol, ghrelin and other hormones that produce weight gain.  To lose belly fat fast, you should try doing several different types of yoga for exercise and stress reduction. Flow yoga burns fat while reducing stress. If you choose to try meditation, it can also help you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите причины стресса в вашей жизни. Уменьшите стрессовые ситуации на работе и дома. Займитесь упражнениями для глубокого дыхания. Принимайте витамин С. Посвятите 7-8 часов вашего времени сну. Займитесь йогой или медитацией.


Stress is one of the main causes of headaches. And once you have a tension headache, you may be sensitive to light or sound. To counteract this, sit or lie down in a dimly lit room. Close your eyes and try to relax your back, neck, and shoulders. Deep breathing can help you relax and reduce any stress in your body, including your head. Take slow, even breaths and try to relax. Heat and cold can help to relieve pain and muscle tension in your neck and head.  Apply a moist hot towel or warm compress to the back of your neck or on your forehead. You can also take a long, hot shower, being sure to run water down your head and on the back of your neck. Wrap an ice pack in a towel and place it on the back of your neck or on your forehead. Peppermint can have a nice soothing effect and ease any discomfort or pain.  Once you massage in a few drops of oil, you should feel a cooling sensation on area. Breathe deeply and find a quiet place to sit or lie down. If you have sensitive skin, dilute peppermint oil with a drop or two of olive oil or water before applying it. As soon as you feel tension in your head, drink several glasses of water. Or make yourself some herbal tea to put yourself in a relaxed state of mind. Dehydration may trigger headaches. Avoid consuming caffeine or alcohol, as these will only dehydrate you more. Do a targeted mini-massage on your upper body. Use your fingertips to rub the back and sides of your head. Then, gently massage the areas under your eyes.   Move your scalp gently back and forth using your fingertips. Don't move it more than a half-inch or so. You can also run your fingertips along the inside of each of your fingers and rub your palms. This is a simple acupressure technique you can do on yourself at home.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отдыхайте в тихой, темной комнате. Проделайте упражнения на глубокое дыхание. Сделайте себе горячий или холодный компресс на голову. Нанесите масло мяты перечной себе на виски, лоб и под челюсть. Поддерживайте водный баланс организма водой или травяным чаем. Помассируйте свое лицо, всю голову и руки. Для облегчения головной боли попробуйте массаж энергетически активных точек кожи.


Stress may contribute to abdominal fat, according to several studies, including a recent one at the University of California, San Francisco. When you're stressed, hormones like cortisol stimulate your appetite, slow your metabolism down and encourage fat storage inside your abdomen. So what can you do about this? Find an activity that reduces stress for you, whether it's listening to soothing music or taking yoga, and do it daily. Not only will you relax, but you'll lessen your likelihood to stress eat. Studies show that eating breakfast plays a part in successful weight loss — almost 80 percent of people who successfully keep weight off chow down on this meal, according to a study published in Obesity Research. Your metabolism slows as you sleep, and the process of digesting food revs it up again. Aim for a 300- to 400-calorie breakfast, such as egg whites, high-fiber cereal (another metabolism booster) with skim milk or oatmeal and fruit. For most people, the body uses up more energy digesting smaller meals every few hours than by eating the same number of calories in two or three sittings. So snack away during the day. Grazing is a surprisingly good idea because it helps you avoid metabolic slowdown. Your body will be tricked into thinking it's constantly eating, so it will never slow your metabolism down. Aim for five small meals (200 to 500 calories) a day rather than three large ones. Also, try not to go more than four hours without eating — if you eat breakfast at 7 am, for example, have a snack at 10 am, lunch at noon, another snack at 3 pm and dinner at 7 pm. It may be hard to fathom, but alcohol actually depresses your central nervous system, ultimately slowing your metabolism. Now you have another reason to chug the H2O. A study in the UK found that if you consume a high-calorie meal, less of that will be burned off (and more will be stored) if you consumed it alongside alcohol. Alright, that's not entirely true. If you can keep your alcohol intake to one glass of red wine a day, you'll actually be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Снимайте стресс. Не пропускайте завтрак. Ешьте часто и понемногу. Избегайте употребления алкоголя. Непоседа. Высыпайтесь. Будьте активны при каждом возможном случае.


Stress, especially chronic stress, has been linked to acid reflux. To help with your condition, you need to destress every day. To relax, go into a quiet room or a quiet space outside and breathe deeply for a few minutes. Inhale through your nose slowly, and exhale through your mouth. Take twice as long to exhale as you do to inhale. Repeat this exercise as often as you can. If you have trouble keeping track of how long you breathe, counting can be helpful. Inhale for 6 to 8 counts and exhale for 12 to 16 counts. Since stress is such a common problem, the American Psychological Association (APA) has come up with multiple ways to help you relax. They suggest progressive muscle relaxation. For this exercise, stand straight up. Contract the muscles in your feet and lower legs, tightening them as much as possible for 30 seconds. After this amount of time, slowly release the tension. Move on to your upper legs and repeat. Continue these exercises for your hands and lower arms, upper arms and shoulders, and finally your stomach and abdominal muscles. Repeat this exercise daily. No matter where you are and even if you can't go on an actual vacation, taking a mental vacation can help you unwind. Take a few deep breaths, relax, and close your eyes. Imagine the most beautiful place you have ever been or your dream vacation spot. Try to experience that place as fully as you can, smelling the smells, feeling a breeze, hearing the sounds. Repeat this activity daily. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends a variety of “emergency stress stoppers” for dealing with high-stress moments. For example, if you find yourself under too much stress, count to 10 before you speak and take 3-5 deep breaths. If you have to, walk away from the stressful situation and say you'll handle it later. You can also try going for a walk to clear your head.  To reduce stress, don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry" if you make a mistake. Try setting your watch 5-10 minutes ahead to avoid the stress of being late. Drive in the slow lane and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выполняйте дыхательные упражнения, чтобы снять стресс. Попробуйте выполнять прогрессивную мышечную релаксацию. Возьмите воображаемый отпуск. Попробуйте использовать другие способы снятия стресса. Соблюдайте гигиену сна. Практикуйте расслабляющую процедуру отхода ко сну.


Stretch out your toes and spread them wide, then rotate your ankles in small circles to the left and right. Point your feet and toes straight, then flex them so the toes are pointing straight into the air. A few easy exercises will loosen and strengthen the muscles that will be working when you walk in your heels. Take off your socks and strap your shoes onto your bare feet, or wear nylon stockings or pantyhose to help with a smoother fit. Some shoes will have a small strap with a buckle while others will simply be slip-on, so make sure to look at your shoes carefully before pulling them on. Focus on having good posture and keeping your spine straight, which will help with your balance. It might feel strange at first to have most of your weight thrust forward onto your toes. Don’t worry; wearing heels for the first time is weird for everyone, men and women alike! Relax and let yourself get used to the weight shift. Allow your knees to bend as you walk and turn out your feet slightly so your inner thighs are turning towards the front. Set the ball of your foot down first so that it touches the ground just before your heel. Let your hips relax and move naturally. Think about being flowing and graceful with your limbs and movements while keep your back straight. Pulling back your shoulders and keeping your chest high will help to counterbalance the weight shift onto the balls of your feet. Engaging your lower abs will help to stabilize your lower back. As a bonus, good posture will also help you feel confident in your new heels. This will help your hips roll naturally and prevent you from walking bow-legged. Remember not to cross your legs too dramatically as you step, though; that will throw you off balance, and look a bit strange! Simply focus on putting one foot right in front of the other. Keep an eye out for a few common mistakes of walking in heels, such as letting your ankles wobble from side to side or keeping your knees stiff, which will cause you to lean forward and have bad posture. You might also see...

TL;DR in Russian:

Разогрейте стопы с помощью разминки. Сядьте и наденьте туфли на каблуках. Встаньте ровно и постарайтесь найти равновесие. Сделайте пару маленьких шагов, не напрягая колени и бедра.

Тренируйтесь ходить на каблуках при любой возможности.


String fake crows from a Halloween store upside down with their wings out.  Crows will avoid the fake dead crows. You can try using fake horned owls or snakes, but these will only deter the crows for a short while. Crows will even learn the patterns of animatronic animals and recognize that they aren’t real eventually. Laser lights can disturb crows  from their roosts temporarily; however, the crows may return a short time later. It is thought that after continuous harassment, the crows will eventually avoid the area all together. Crows can be frightened by moving shiny objects. You can find bird tape that is designed as a visual deterrent to crows. Hang shiny streamers on poles throughout your yard, or make a fence around your property by twisting the tape together and stringing it between poles along the perimeter. Move the location of your streamers periodically to keep the crows from overcoming them as a threat. Other reflective ideas to try:  Reflective tape Old CDs hung vertically on a string. Aluminum pie pans.  Adding anything shiny to your yard will help to deter the crows. Crows do not like loud sounds such as explosions, loud banging, and alarms; these options, however effective, may be impractical for people in urban settings. Each time you see the crows, make the noise to train them to stay away. Playing a recorded audio of crow predators or crow distress calls can also help keep them away. You can find audio of crow sound deterrents available online at bird control companies. Try these noisemakers to keep the crows away:  Firecrackers Recordings of crow distress calls Recordings of crow predators such as owls and hawks Air horns

TL;DR in Russian:

Чтобы отпугнуть ворон, используйте пугала, напоминающие зверей. Посветите на на ворон лазерной указкой. Установите на своем участке огородные пугала, увешанные отражающими свет предметами. Отпугивайте ворон громкими звуками.


Strip canoes are edge-glued which is what will eventually allow them to hold shape. While you'll attach the strips to the forms and end of the boat using staples, the glue between the strips will create the shape. You may want to wear gloves when applying glue and stripping the canoe. Start stapling the thin wooden strips directly to the ends and forms. Lay your first few strips across what will become the top of your canoe (this will be closest to the sawback). Alternate stapling strips on both sides. This will keep your boat even and centered. Make sure the strips are placed snugly next to one another. This allows the glued edges to come into contact and seal with the other strip, maintaining the canoe's shape. Keep stapling and placing the edge-glued strips across both sides. You will be working your way up to what will become the bottom of your canoe. If you need extra support while stapling the strips into place, use clamps. Once you've attached all your strips and allowed the glue to dry, carefully remove the staples from the ends and forms. Use a pair of pliers and pull straight out. Take care not to damage or dent the wood by twisting the staples as you pull them out. You may have an extra bit of wood sticking out at the ends. Use a block plane to trim off where the strips stick out. If you notice any very rough strips of wood that stand out, use the plane to make it even and flush with the canoe. Use a coarse sandpaper and sand with the grain of the wood. Go over the entire canoe using long even strokes. Make sure not to spend too long in one spot or you may develop a weak area in the canoe. Replace your sandpaper when you notice it starting to become dull. This will save you time and ensure that the canoe is evenly sanded. First, take out the drywall screws that are attached to the stations and sawback. You should be able to carefully pull the forms out of the canoe while turning the canoe out and off of the sawback. The plastic tape will make removing the forms easier. You will also want assistance...

Stuck in a rut listening to the same music and every day? Get on Spotify and explore. Type in an artist you like and look at the similar artists listed. Allow yourself to get lost in the music wonderland. After the work or school day, opening a book might be the last thing you want to do to relax. But as Dr. Seuss said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”  After you’ve had Friday to recover from the week, Saturday night is the perfect time to crack open that book you’ve had sitting on your nightstand. It can be intimidating to be a beginner, which might be why you haven’t tried drawing, even though you’ve wanted to learn for a long time. If there’s a skill that’s been nagging at you to learn it, give it a try. Trying something new can increase your creativity and your confidence.  Of course you will make mistakes—that’s part of learning. When you regain your footing after messing up, you will become more and more courageous in trying something new.

TL;DR in Russian:

Послушайте новую музыку. Займитесь чтением. Приобретите новый навык.
