First, separate your hair into sections using clips or hair ties. Blow dry each section separately, using a large hairbrush to pull the wet hair away from your head. If you're worried about heat damage, apply a heat-protecting leave-in conditioner to your hair before drying it. If you're in-between washings or if your hair looks slightly oily, dry shampoo can be used to give your hair a fresh lift. First, shake the can of dry shampoo to incorporate the ingredients. Next, hold the can a few inches away from your scalp and spray the shampoo along your hairline. Separate your hair into several large sections and continue spraying your scalp.  After applying the dry shampoo, rub it into your hair using your fingertips and brush your hair again. Dry shampoo can also come in a powder form. However, powdered dry shampoo is more difficult to apply and can leave a powdery residue in your hair. Daytime hairstyles will usually be more relaxed than evening updos. Choose a style for your hair that makes you feel comfortable and cute. For example, if you're feeling lazy and relaxed, use a hair band to style your hair into an adorable top knot bun. Other examples of cute hair styles:   Apply pomade to the ends of short hair to add texture. Tie your hair into a low knot to create a cute, effortless low bun. Style your hair into an elegant side braid.  Pull your hair into a high, sleek pony tail. Whether you're going out with friends or going on a date, your evening hairstyle needs to add drama to your look. If you have long hair, you can style it into a beautiful updo or brush it out. Brush shorter hairstyles away from the face and spray them with hairspray to create a clean, sleek look.   Curl long or medium hair using a curling iron, a brush, and hair spray.  Straighten your hair with a straightening iron and a wide-toothed comb to create a sleek hairstyle. Short hair can be curled with a small curling wand to create ringlets.

First, take a ping pong ball, and make a small hole. This can be done with anything sharp and small. Unfold the large paper clip and form it to make an appropriate stand. Stick the paper clip into the hole in the ball. Put down some newspaper beneath the ping-pong ball so that the paint doesn't stain your workstation. Use a metallic gold spray paint cover your ball with at least two coats. Let it dry. Take the other ping pong ball, and cut it in half, using either an exacto knife, a kitchen knife, or scissors. Draw a swirl pattern on each half of the ball that mirror each other. With a small pair of scissors, carefully cut out the swirl patterns. Paint the swirl patterns and the ping-pong halves, and let them dry. Use plain white craft glue to stick the cut-out swirls back to the ping-pong halves, somewhere where the cut-outs don't overlap with the holes in the ping-pong halves. Cut out the plain paper into two identical wing shapes. The easiest way to do this is to fold the paper in half and cut both wings out at once. You can do the wings as you like, but an idea is to cut out 2 appropriately-sizes half circles, and then cut "flaps" out of the straight sides, to make feathers. Glue the cut-out half-ping pong balls to the actual ball on the stand. Put some glue on the end of each wing, and tuck it in the swirls. Hold it together for a few seconds so that they stays on. Let the glue dry before you remove your finished snitch from its stand.

First, wet your lips with your tongue just enough so that they're soft. Then, gently kiss any part of your partner's neck with a closed mouth, as if you were giving your partner a close-mouthed kiss on the lips. You can start by kissing the area where your partner's neck meets her shoulders or collarbone, resting your lips on the curved groove. Slowly open your mouth in between kisses, and begin to kiss your partner's neck with an open mouth, separating your lips as you gently kiss her skin. You can also move up and down your partner's neck to add some variety.  Breathe some hot air on your partner's neck in between kisses. This will drive your partner crazy with pleasure. If you're really getting into it, lick your partner's neck from the bottom to the top. Use only the tip of your tongue and be very gentle. Make sure your partner is enjoying this sensation. Do not do this if it's your first time kissing this person. Confirm it with them first if you're interested, but only do this if you've kissed their neck before or you have some experience with it. This goes for blowing air or using your tongue, and especially for biting and sucking. If it's your very first time, just stick with open and closed mouth kisses. Do this so that you and your partner can discuss anything else that the two of you would be interested in doing. Give your partner slow wet kisses so she can really feel the sensations. You can focus on kissing one area of the neck or move all around her neck. Try kissing near her ear -- this is another sensitive area. Blowing hot air near the ear will drive your partner wild as well. Gently suck on your partner's neck for just one or two seconds at a time. Just don't do it too quickly or you'll leave a hickey, and your partner may not be into that. You can suck on your partner's neck in between close-mouthed or open-mouthed kisses.  Be very careful of hickeys. Sucking and biting is very likely to result in a hickey, and that may get both of you in some very serious trouble.  You can also blow some...

Fitted pants and tops that seem custom made for your body will make you look long and lean. If you’re petite, shop in the petite section of stores to boost your chances of finding clothes that fit properly.  Baggy and ill-fitting clothes will only make you look frumpy, and will do nothing to lengthen your legs. Avoid buying clothes that don’t fit you perfectly. If this is unavoidable, either have your clothes tailored or tailor them yourself so that they fit well. Make sure that your pants are hemmed correctly, so that they just graze the top of your foot. Don’t let them bunch up and wrinkle at the top of your foot or shoe, as this will make your legs look shorter. Aim for skirts and pants that go just above your natural waist. These will make your legs look longer by giving the impression that your legs start where your waist does. Low-rise bottoms will generally lengthen your torso and make your legs look shorter, so avoid these. Wearing long tops will make your torso look longer and your legs look shorter. Tucking a top into high-waisted pants will give the illusion of longer legs. Tops, sweaters, and jackets that end anywhere from your waist to just above your hips will shorten your body and lengthen your legs, especially when paired with high-waisted bottoms. A lot of experts recommend wearing skinny jeans or narrow straight-legged pants, particularly in dark shades, to give your legs a longer appearance. This is particularly effective when the pants are worn with heels in the same shade — for example, black jeans with black pointy-toed ankle boots. Make sure the hemline grazes the floor at the back, and the top of your foot at the front, while you’re wearing heels. If the pants are too long for you, your legs will look shorter, so get them tailored or hem them yourself if need be.  Wide-legged pants have much the same effect as skirts and dresses, as they can help hide exactly where your legs start. Aim for high-waisted, wide-legged pants for maximum leg-lengthening effects! Pair a wide-legged pant with...

Fixing or removing rusty plumbing is usually too dangerous for the amateur plumber. Unless you are a professional plumber or have experience working on interior pine lines, avoid DIYing a potential plumbing issue.  Fixing rusty plumbing by yourself can result in serious injuries to yourself or damage to your home. Although fixing rusty plumbing on your own may seem like it will save money, you may end up worsening the problem and costing you more in the long term. A plumber can find the issue with your interior plumbing and assess the best method to fix it. If you have determined that the water discoloration is not caused by a mainline problem, contact a plumber. While searching for local plumbers online, check their company's reviews. Avoid companies with many negative reviews, as a bad plumber can cause even more damage to your home. Contact at least 2 or 3 plumbers for a house inspection before choosing an option. You'll be able to get more perspectives on the cause of your water discoloration and the best, most cost-efficient way to treat the problem. The cheapest option is not necessarily the best choice, when it comes to plumbing. Choose the plumber who has the most experience and can offer references or positive reviews from their previous clients. Depending on the cause and suggested fix, rusty or corroded plumbing may be covered by your warranty. Contact your insurance company after you have pinpointed the cause to determine what the out-of-pocket cost for repair will be. If you don't currently have a copy of your home warranty, contact your insurance or home warranty company. As their client, you should be entitled to a new copy.

Flash fiction can be in any genre you’d like, but popular genres to choose from include romance, thriller, horror, and science fiction. Each genre has its own tropes to help you shape a unique story. Brainstorm the type of narrative you’d like to write and like to read so you can start thinking of ideas.  If you like to write suspenseful stories, try doing a thriller or horror flash fiction piece. For stories that take place in the future or have advanced technology, write science fiction. If you want to focus on a relationship, consider writing romantic flash fiction. The theme is the main moral argument of your story and the message you want to leave with your readers. Some common themes you can use for your flash fiction include love, family, death, and power. Write down what themes you may want to use for your story so you can use them to influence your character and plot. For example, if you want your theme to be love and sacrifice, you may choose to write a story about someone who works all the time just to earn money for someone they care about. Your main character needs to have a motivation and goals in order to progress through your writing. Make their motivations believable so your readers can relate to them easily. Give your protagonist some flaws so they aren’t perfect and have difficulty achieving their goals. Only focus on 1 character since your flash fiction piece needs to be short.  For example, your protagonist’s goal may be to find sunken treasure, but they’re afraid of the ocean. Only give your character 1 goal for your flash fiction or else your piece could get too long or complicated. The antagonist is the main force fighting against your main character. Your antagonist could be another character, something in nature, or even an internal struggle. Make sure your antagonist directly affects your protagonist and the outcome of your story.  For example, your protagonist could be someone stuck in the forest and your antagonist could be a wolf trying to hunt them. Combine an internal struggle...

Flashbacks are the trademark symptom of HPPD. You may notice that you continue to have flashbacks beyond the few days after drug use. You may also experience persistent changes in your perception after taking hallucinogenic drugs. If you have perception changes, you may see:  Geometric shapes Objects in your peripheral vision (along the sides or edges of sight) Colored flashes Enhanced color intensity Trailing and strobe-like moving objects After images or impressions Halos Objects that appear small or large Changes in perception can be annoying or even frightening, but they aren't necessarily a sign of any serious physical damage that is life threatening. Any alterations in brain chemistry are related to how you see things, not how your body generally functions. These alterations are also distinctly different from hallucinations since they're clearly not associated with what's happening in the present moment. Changes in perception shouldn't be confused with reality. Any serious health consequences of HPPD aren't caused by brain damage from whatever drug was used. Instead, health problems typically come from sustained depression or anxiety associated with the persistent flashbacks. You may feel depersonalized, or drastically disconnected from your body. For example, you may feel as though you're watching yourself from an outside perspective or from outside your body. This feeling of disconnect can also be accompanied by a sense that you're in a dreamlike state or that the world isn't a real place. Like other HPPD symptoms, this can be frightening and last for an unknown period of time. But, it's not necessarily a sign of serious physical damage that needs immediate treatment. Sometimes people who use hallucinogenic drugs notice visual disturbances in the weeks after use, while sometimes they last for years. Since this varies by individual, there’s really no clear way of knowing how long your visual disturbances will last. You most likely won't need to treat HPPD as if it was a serious health condition. But,...

Flax seed gives your boring bowl a fresh, nutty flavor. Try adding some fresh berries in to complement the added flavor of the flax seed. Add whole seeds for a nice texture that boosts the health value of your creamy snack. Simply pick your favorite muffin or bread recipe and add about 1/4-cup of flax seed per batch. The final product will gain a nice crunch and an interesting texture.  You can also use ground flax seed and water as a replacement for eggs. For one egg, the ratio is one tablespoon of flax seed to three tablespoons of water. Fruit smoothies are nicely complemented by the addition of nutty flax seed. Boost the fiber power in your smoothie by adding about one tablespoon per serving. Add flax seed to your french toast dip and allow the flax to coat the bread before pan frying it. Not only does the flax add a nice crunch, but the flavor goes perfectly with a traditional french toast recipe. You can use either whole flax seeds or ground flax. Add flax seed to your favorite trail mix cookies. Cookies with dried fruit, nuts, oats, and other chunky ingredients are nicely complimented by flax seed.

Flea bites are extremely itchy, so the first sign of a flea infestation is usually seeing your dog scratching or chewing itself more than usual. Other behavioral signs of fleas might include head shaking, hair loss, scabs, or hot spots. Flea bites are usually smaller than other insect bites. This means they can be hard to spot, so you’ll have to look carefully.  Some dogs may have a stronger reaction to a flea’s saliva, causing a larger red area and more severe irritation.  You may notice small red dots on your own skin, which could also be flea bites. Use your fingers to part your dog's fur so that you can see its skin, looking for signs of adult fleas. Fleas tend to prefer the base of the tail, the abdomen, and behind the ears, but they can be found anywhere on the dog.  Adult fleas are about the size of a pencil lead. They are small, flat-bodied insects, and they range in color from reddish-brown to black. Keep in mind that fleas will move away from your fingers as you search your dog's fur, making them hard to spot. Most fleas live in the environment around the dog, so they may be hard to find in your dog's fur if it only has a mild infestation. Brushing your dog may agitate any fleas which might be present. If they jump off of your dog, you should be able to easily spot them on the white towel. Place the flea comb on your dog's coat, then apply slight pressure until the comb comes in contact with your dog's skin. Carefully brush through your dog's coat, making sure the comb stays in contact with its skin through the entire stroke.  After each pass, examine the comb for fleas and flea dirt, then dip the comb into a bowl of warm soapy water to clean the comb. Flea dirt, or flea droppings, look like small black flecks, but they actually contain dried blood. If you dip the flea comb into a bowl of soapy water, you should see the flecks slowly change back to red. If the flecks remain black after being added to water, it’s probably regular dirt. You can also place the flecks on a damp cotton pad and monitor...

Загляните в пасть собаки, чтобы проверить, бледные ли у нее десны.


Flesh-scrapers and stretching boards are about as primitive a tool as you can get, but it's still the most effective way for getting the flesh, cartilage, and fatty bits off of the pelt so that it can dry thoroughly.  A flesh scraper is basically what it sounds like: a short and sharp blade that's used to scrape the flesh away. In a pinch, you could use a big kitchen knife that's somewhat dull, but it might be a little more difficult than with a scraper. Hog scrapers, single and double-handed scrapers are all common. Metal and wooden boards are both commonly used for the job. If you use a wooden stretching board, you'll also need staples or push-pins to secure the pelt when you're ready to stretch it for drying. Wooden stretching boards can double as "fleshing boards," providing a nice surface to scrape the pelt on. If you have a metal stretcher, you'll just need to use a bench, table, or other flat surface on which to scrape the pelt. It's usually recommended to let the fur alone to firm up the fat some in a cool environment (about 55 degrees F, or 13 C). This will help to make the scraping job a lot easier. You can flatten out the pelt onto the board, fur side down, to let it dry for several hours before you get started scraping. When you start, the whole process of scraping itself shouldn't take more than 15 or 30 minutes. Using firm pressure, carefully scrape the fat and connective tissue away from the skin using the scraper. There's not much of a secret or a science to it–you're basically just scraping. Be gentle to avoid tearing through the skin, but be firm enough and even enough to get everything off. The tail is usually the most challenging part, so most trappers will start there, spending the most time making sure that every bit of fat is evenly scraped away. After removing the fat from the tail, scrape directly up the middle of the pelt, in a stripe. Go all the way up until you've scraped everything off a narrow strip up the middle of the pelt, and the head of the pelt. Then go back and scrape...

Flexibility in these joints is crucial for your back handstand. You can do these stretches every day, and always do them before practicing your handstand.  To stretch your wrists, sit on the floor and place your palm flat on the ground at a 90-degree angle to your arms. Gently bend your elbows and feel the stretch through your inner wrist. Then cross your arms in front of you, putting your hands on the ground with your fingertips pointing towards each other. To stretch your ankles, make several circles with your foot (moving from the ankle joint) clockwise and counterclockwise. If you like, you can sit on the ground and do this – extend one leg in front of you, cross the other over it and hold your foot in your hand to gently increase the intensity of the stretch. The bridge is a fundamental pose for practicing handstands. Not only does it help stretch out your shoulders, it is also your beginning pose for the back handstand.  Lay down on your back with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Your feet should be touching your bottom. Place your hands on the ground next to your ears, fingers pointing towards your shoulders. Raise your hips into the air as high as you can, extending your elbows as much as possible. Let your head hang down so your neck is relaxed. Push your weight onto your hands so that your shoulders are over your hands in a vertical line. Walk your feet out in front of you so your legs are straight, keeping them parallel. Rock the bridge back and forth. Bend your knees, shifting the weight onto your feet, then back onto your hands by straightening your legs. This helps to stretch out your shoulders. Come out of the bridge by bending your elbows and knees, gentling lowering your back to the floor. To execute a perfect back handstand, you need strong central muscles. These include your abdomen, pelvis, lower back and hips. The bridge is an excellent exercise for this, so practice every day. In addition, many basic exercises involve core strength, such as weight-lifting, sit-ups and push-ups....

Floating is a life-saving technique that will help you catch your breath. When you’re swimming in deep water, you won’t always have the opportunity to stand up or grab on to something to take a break. Furthermore, the dog paddle is a great swimming technique for beginners but it can tire a swimmer out easily. Learn to float to reduce the risk of drowning. Practice floating in the shallow end of the pool. If you have trouble staying above the water you can stand up to catch your breath. It’s hard to float when your muscles are tensed up. Turn on your back in the water and stretch your arms and legs out, flattening your body. Relax your neck and let your head dip into the water. However, make sure that your face doesn’t become submerged.  If you’re worried about getting water in your ear, wear a swimmer cap while swimming. If you’re having trouble relaxing try closing your eyes while you float. First, breathe deeply. Filling your lungs with air will help you float above the water. If your legs are sinking too much, stretch your arms out behind your head, keeping them in the water. If you’re still having trouble keeping your legs afloat, kick your legs slightly.  If you’re having trouble breathing when you exhale, kick your legs slightly. This will help you stay afloat until you draw your next breath. Try to avoid using your hands to paddle. Instead, spread your hands and let your arms float. Most people prefer to float on their backs so that they can breathe while they float. However, if you’d like to float face down, the technique is very similar. Take a deep breath and hold it. Submerge your face in the water and stretch your arms and legs out like a starfish. When you need to breathe again, either stop floating or gently turn onto your back to take a breath.  Push your chest into the water to help keep your legs afloat. Kick your feet gently if you’re having trouble floating.

TL;DR in Russian:

Научитесь лежать на воде. Расслабьте свое тело. Улучшите свою способность держаться на воде. Полежите на воде лицом вниз.


Flour mites cannot thrive in a low-humidity environment (under 65%), and you should never see an infestation if your storage area is well-ventilated. Pay attention to the placement of kettles, cookers, dryers, and stoves and make sure they are not causing moist air to collect in food storage areas. Try keeping a fan in your pantry to cool the air and dry out any moisture. , grains, cereal, and other susceptible foods in clean, airtight containers. This will keep your food fresh and dry and keep mites out. If there are any mites that survived your cleaning process, depriving them of their food source will cause them to starve and prevent them from laying eggs in your grains.  Resealable plastic bags can work short-term, but mites can chew holes through them and get to your food. Try glass or thick plastic containers instead. The lifecycle of flour mites is about one month, so if you can keep everything clean and sealed up tight, any remaining mites should die off. Try to avoid combining old and new foods in the containers. Wait until you've used up all the flour in the bin, give the bin a thorough cleaning and remove any old flour stuck to the bottom, and then refill with the new flour. Though it may be a little more expensive than buying in large, bulk quantities, but if you buy smaller portions, you are less likely to have susceptible foodstuffs sitting around for long periods of time. If they sit in a humid environment for too long, they may become damp and start to mold and start another infestation of mites. Make sure you inspect all packaging before bringing dry goods home. Make sure they are not damp or damaged and that they were not stored on a damp shelf. Flour mites, cockroaches, moths, rats, weevils, and many other pests are said to hate the smell of bay leaves and will avoid your dry goods if they are present. You can put the leaves right into the container (the taste won't leech into your food) or tape them to the lid of the container or inside the pantry or cupboard. There are conflicting reports...

Foam board is the main object used in this method. Buy foam board at your local arts and crafts store or your local hardware store. Get 4 large sheets of foam board that are at least 42 centimetres (17 in) by 30 centimetres (12 in) in size. You will also need 2 acrylic sheets, 11 inches (28 cm) in length, 14 inches (36 cm) in width, and .09 inches (0.23 cm) thick. The other items you need are glue, a 2H pencil, a ruler, scissors, and LED lights.

Focus on a theme of your own. You might want to make it really original, like the Great Sith War or the New Republic. You can also visit many different places for different planets, or just make one in the setting. A Jedi could be walking around the neighborhood then attacked by two Sith. Or, you could make the story more complicated by putting it before or after the movies, or even in between. Humor will improve the amateur movie, allowing for much forgiveness for the amateur setting and story line! Add few jokes and punch lines to your movie, It wouldn't be a good one without it. Make sure that you understand people's styles, and make the humor fit to each of them.  Make your own funny scenes. For example:  Rebel 1 and rebel 2 are walking. Rebel 1 collapses. Rebel 2 calls his commanding officer. Rebel 2: "Sir, my partner collapsed and is not breathing, what should I do?" Commander: "Make sure he is dead, then tell me." Rebel 2 shoots rebel 1. Rebel 2: " Now what?".   Make a parody of the original movies. Parody is both fun and clever. Creating a parody script will teach you a lot about analyzing and writing. You'll need this for the actors to follow and to know that your film has a fully fledged storyline.

TL;DR in Russian:

Придумайте сюжет. Пусть фильм будет смешным. Подготовьте сценарий.


Focus on becoming more aware. Genetics play a large part in determining the capabilities of our senses and many factors can distract or diminish their ability. While improving our senses is considered very difficult, you can improve your skill by isolating them. Let go of inhibitions to become more susceptible to  the sensations your body experiences. Confidence doesn't come overnight. Build yourself up each day by remembering to stay positive and optimistic. Your vision has been your primary sense throughout your life and is responsible for about 80% of the information your brain receives. Without the ability to rely on our vision, we become more aware of what the rest of our senses are experiencing. Give your other sense the opportunity to interpret your environment. Notice every sound and try to judge the distance it's traveling to reach you. Isolate individual sounds like a bird singing. Try following two individual sounds separately.  Listen to music with headphones. For a bigger challenge, listen with two sets of headphones and a different song in each ear. Try to follow each song separately. Listen to music you love. Ask yourself why you love it. While your sense of taste and smell are controlled by separate receptor organs, the two senses are entwined and responsible for how your brain perceives taste.  Let your eyes close during each bite. Chew slowly and focus on the taste, texture, and smell. Seek out aromas that you enjoy. Bake some cookies or light a scented candle. Add different herbs and spices to your meals and try to single them out by their taste. Your skin is your largest organ and is responsible for giving you important information about your environment. Your skin keeps you updated on different temperatures, textures, pressure, vibrations, and more. Seek out activities that target your sense of touch.  Enjoy your favorite fabric and pay attention to the texture. Relax in a warm bath or shower. Get a massage.

TL;DR in Russian:

Правильный образ мыслей. Научитесь жить в собственной коже. Закройте глаза. Сосредоточьтесь на том, что вы слышите с закрытыми глазами. Наслаждайтесь едой с закрытыми глазами. Касайтесь предметов.


Focus on concrete and sensory details. In the above example, you might describe what the scratching sounded like, and what Millie imagined could be within the closet that stirred her fear. Make sure you've provided enough information about characters' thoughts, feelings, and reactions. In the above example, the ending might reveal that Millie was really just afraid of fear itself, and seeing the mouse made her realize her own silliness. Make sure you're consistent throughout; you don't want a story where one part is shallowly described while the rest of the story is described in even the most minute details. Here is where you can make all the final tweaks and changes to make your story read smoothly. Proofread carefully, make sure all your grammar is correct, and polish up any unclear or awkward spots in your language. Because you've spent so much time and effort writing the story, you may have a very different perspective of it than other readers. Having a friend read your story can help you discover if there are any places that seem confusing or out of place to readers. You may also find out that your friend thinks it's amazing just as it is!

TL;DR in Russian:

Добавьте описательное повествование в тот текст, который вы только что написали. Перечитайте окончание. Перечитайте весь рассказ с начала до конца. Выполните "полномасштабное редактирование" всего рассказа. Покажите свой рассказ другу!


Focus on cutting out sugary foods and processed grains. Most sugar-filled drinks are between 150 and 300 calories. These are considered "empty" calories, because they have few nutrients. The other half should be split between lean protein and whole grains. It is necessary to keep your metabolism from slowing down and storing more fat in your midsection. Reduce what you eat by between 100 and 500 calories, reducing less on the days when you have a long workout. Most doctors agree that losing weight and keeping it off require small diet changes and reductions that you are committed to, rather than drastic diets.

TL;DR in Russian:

Снизьте количество потребляемых полуфабрикатов. Замените безалкогольные напитки и алкоголь водой и чаем. Наполните половину вашей тарелки свежими овощами и фруктами. Завтракайте в пределах 300-600 калорий. Ведите дневник питания.


Focus on the front or back first, then flip the jeans over to work on the back. If you don't want to bleach a certain side, stuff your pants with newspaper before you begin. The newspaper will prevent the bleach from soaking through to the other side.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не обрабатывайте джинсы одновременно с двух сторон.


Focus your eyes on something else instead of giving the annoying person eye contact. Most people understand the importance of eye contact during a conversation. If they get the hint, they will likely end the conversation.  Focus your eyes on your computer if you are sitting at your desk. Use your cell phone as a distraction from the annoying person. You could force yourself to yawn, or blow your nose several times to make the act convincing. This will allow you to quickly excuse yourself from the conversation without being offensive. If you don't feel like you can pull off faking a cold, just say that you have another obligation and you can't be late.  You could tell the person that you are meeting someone for coffee/lunch/dinner, and that you have to leave right now. If you say something like "I haven't felt well for days," and blow your nose, the annoying person is likely to let you end the conversation and go home. When you are stuck standing by an annoying person who is trying to converse with you, start taking steps away from the person. Make it seem like you have somewhere that you need to go. Then, politely excuse yourself from the conversation. Don’t allow the annoying person to get comfortable in your presence. Avoid being hospitable when they visit. You can do this subtly without being blatantly rude.  Don’t offer the annoying person a place to sit. If you have seats available, occupy them with your purse, coat, or paperwork. Avoid offering the rude person a cup of coffee or a drink of water. Be sure to sit at a table that would be too small for them to accompany you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сведите к минимуму зрительный контакт. Сделайте вид, что вы устали, больны или должны идти. Постарайтесь закончить беседу. Сделайте все возможное, чтобы человек чувствовал себя некомфортно в вашем присутствии.


Fold a sheet with the short ends together, until it is the proper length for your height. It should cover from your armpits to your legs. Decide on how much leg you want to show or cover.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сложите простыню поперек.


Fold the filter paper to fit into the funnel. Polythene filter funnels are cheaper and safer than glass funnels. The filter funnel diameter is should not be too big. Otherwise, the filtration set-up will be unstable. If the beaker is too hot, wait for it to cool more. The contents will remain hot, so continue to handle with care. Pour the solution into the filter funnel. A clear blue solution should be in the flask. If it is still cloudy with black powder, repeat the filtration process until clear.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вставьте фильтровальную воронку в горлышко конической колбы. Проверьте, можно ли безопасно поднять стакан над воронкой. Встряхните раствор, осторожно совершая стаканом круговые движения. Подождите, пока раствор просочится сквозь фильтровальную бумагу.


Folliculitis is often brought on by irritation caused by shaving or unsanitary shaving practices. If you have folliculitis on the skin under your beard or another area that you regularly shave, give that area a break from shaving. Persistent shaving can irritate the area and even spread the disease from one patch of hair to the next. If you must shave, minimize the irritation as much as possible. Try to use an electric razor, rather  than a handheld razor, and shave with the grain, rather than against the grain. Ensure your razor is clean every time you shave. Fingers and hands are among the most common vectors for bacteria. This means that they carry and transmit bacteria much like an airplane carries and transmits people. Although the area may itch, sting, or smart, it's important to resist the urge to itch or pick at the infected area. Treat the area like an off-limits area—wash your hands before touching it, and try to touch it only if you're applying soap, topical medicine, or a compress. The mechanical action of clothing rubbing against the skin throughout the day can cause chafing and irritation which can potentially lead to infection. Additionally, skin infections can also result if any clothing prevents air from reaching the skin. If you are prone to folliculitis, ensure that your clothing is soft and loose-fitting to minimize any potential irritation. Also try to prevent the clothing around any areas affected by folliculitis from becoming wet. Wet clothing is likely to cling to the skin, increasing the risk of irritation. Everyone's skin is different—some people are susceptible to rashes and breakouts, while others are resilient. If you have folliculitis (or are prone to it), try to avoid coming into contact with any substances that you know to cause you irritation (especially substances you're allergic to), as the irritation can lead to an infection or sidetrack the healing process of an existing infection. You may, for instance, want to avoid certain cosmetics, oils, lotions, rubs, and so on....

TL;DR in Russian:

Не брейте пораженную область. Не трогайте пораженную область. Не носите тугую одежду. Не допускайте контакта кожи с раздражающими веществами. Не мойтесь и не плавайте в грязной воде. Не рассчитывайте слишком сильно на стероидные препараты местного действия. Не допускайте инфицирования уже имеющихся ранок.

Follow a unified colour scheme.  For example, choose bottoms in black or khaki, with a matching sweater or jacket if appropriate. This will allow you to take a smaller number of clothes.     Choose tops that will match all bottoms. As tops are generally lighter than pants, you will be able to pack a few more without adding extra weight.     Generally, three bottoms (black or khaki cotton pants, dress pants, and jeans) should be sufficient, with three long sleeved shirts, one to two sweaters, a jacket, and a few t-shirts to layer under clothing.    You may surprise yourself considerably! One for walking, one for business/formal wear and one for the weather you'll be encountering.  Consider hiring or buying boots if you encounter snow or wet environments. These can be too heavy to cart around on a long trip. All sports boots or shoes should be hired.     Flip flops cost nothing. Buy them when you're in the country or area rather than dragging them along with you. Then leave them behind when you're done.    If you're doing a round-the-world trip, you are likely to encounter all sorts of weather, including cold, wet, hot and dry. This makes carrying clothing a bit of a logistical nightmare. What can make it easier is to either send home clothing mid-way, especially after cold country visits, or decide to give it away to people before leaving the country. Choose clothing you don't mind giving up if you're going to give it away. Perhaps select a wardrobe of items you're never going to wear again, but are close to being donated anyway. Or, do a deliberate shop at the thrift store to purchase gear only for the trip and to be given away as you go. You won't be so invested in it that way but do be sure to choose stuff that looks fabulous on you, or you'll regret taking it with you.    Don't travel with valuable jewelry unless you want to advertise the theft opportunity. Leave that stuff at home. Take only what is useful, such as a watch, a money holder, a scarf, a hat, etc. Consider buying accessories as light, easily...

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите информацию о пункте вашего назначения, включая погодные условия, местные нормы одежды, а также примерные цены на предметы гардероба. Выбирайте одежду основных цветов. Подсчитайте, сколько сочетаний дает выбранная одежда. Выбирайте три пары обуви. Избавляемся от лишних вещей. Минимум аксессуаров.


Follow the agreements that you make with them. Never lie to them about how you are going to use the increased independence you’ve negotiated.  If you have a cell phone, answer your parents’ messages and calls. They might reach out more frequently at first, while they adjust to your increased independence. Be patient. Don’t be late. If you are supposed to be home by 10pm, aim to be home by 9:45pm – that way, you have a buffer in case you’re held up by a slow bus, for instance. If you can’t help being late, get in touch with your parents as soon as possible to let them know the situation. The ability to delay gratification in order to keep your word to someone else is an important sign of maturity. It also demonstrates that you are developing a good character. Don’t let your emotions or desires run away with you, so that you make bad choices or speak irresponsibly. This is an important part of showing that you can make good decisions.  It’s natural to get angry sometimes, for example, but don’t fly off the handle. Make a plan to calm yourself down.  If you feel your blood boiling, take a deep breath, count to ten, or excuse yourself to go outside or to the restroom. Your brain is set up to seek out more dangerous, risky behavior during this time in your life. While this is a natural part of adolescence, your parents also need to see evidence that you can rein in your desires and take care of yourself. Never do illegal drugs. If you are old enough to be in a sexual relationship, practice safer sex, including using condoms or other forms of barrier protection. For example, most parents monitor what websites their teenagers visit and how they use social media. These limits are part of your parents’ job. Don’t compare your parents to your friends’ parents. No one likes being pressured by these sorts of comparisons. And, it’s likely that you don’t know the whole story, even about your friends’ lives. Instead, focus on your own relationship with your parents. Another marker of maturity that your parents will...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не подрывайте доверие родителей. Держите свои обещания, даже если вам придется ради этого отказаться от чего-то интересного. Контролируйте свои эмоции. Принимайте взвешенные решения в вопросах, касающихся секса, наркотиков и алкоголя. Смиритесь с тем, что ваши родители будут вводить ограничения. Демонстрируйте родителям свою готовность проявлять внимание по отношению к другим людям.


Follow the directions above for making your own sopapilla dough, but don’t cut the dough into triangles. These will need to be fried, not baked, so pour oil into a pan and heat to 400 degrees. You will need to pour a bit more oil that you would for regular sopapillas, as these will take up more space because of the filling. Flatten the dough so it is thin but without holes, and then cut it into circles between 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) in diameter. For these, you can use nearly any filling imaginable. For a savory sopapilla, fill the dough with rice, beans, and meat. For a sopapilla that can be eaten for dessert, try using a pie filling or chocolate chips. Thoroughly close the edges of the dough around the filling by rolling them in slightly and then pinching them tightly. It is very important the edges be closed to not leak filing into your frying oil and create a big mess. Place each into the hot oil, waiting 1-2 minutes on each side for the sopapilla to turn golden brown. Fry as many at once as the pan size will allow. Place them onto a wire rack covered in paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain off. Allow time to cool, at least ten minutes. Although your sopapillas are filled, you can choose to add more on top as well. For a savory sopapilla, top with cheese or salsa. A dessert sopapilla can rolled in more cinnamon and sugar or sprinkled with powdered sugar.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте тесто с нуля. Разогрейте масло в сковороде. Раскатайте тесто. Положите в центр каждого кружка 2 ст. л. начинки. Сложите тесто пополам, формируя полукруг. Обжарьте сопапильи. Снимите и просушите сопапильи. Добавьте начинку и наслаждайтесь!


Follow the instructions on the box. Do not rinse the dye out before the minimum time or leave the dye in past the maximum time. Make sure to follow the directions exactly. If you have a lot of grey hair, it’s best to leave the dye in for the maximum amount of time. It may help to sit under a heated dryer, as well. Never leave hair dye in overnight. Leaving it in overnight will dry out your hair and it may cause severe skin irritation as well.

TL;DR in Russian:

Засеките время или установите таймер.


Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Pour a quarter of the cup of oil into the processor bowl, on top of the seeds. Stop pulsing occasionally to push down any stuck grains back into the mixture for processing. (Use a spatula.) Pulse for at least another 2 to 3 minutes, again taking care to ensure all the seeds are being processed. See Tips for note on adding oil and consistency of the tahini. This may take up to 10 minutes, so take little breaks if you tire!

TL;DR in Russian:

Follow up a scary movie with comedy. Or, watch an episode of a funny show that you like. Focusing on something other than the horror flick can help dissipate your fear. Laughter will also help to change your mood and make you feel better.   Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Napoleon Dynamite, Zoolander, Even Stevens, and Spongebob Squarepants are examples of funny programs you may like.  Watch funny animal videos. Seeing cute animals do funny things will likely distract you from your fears. Get out your phone or computer and scroll through your social media feeds. You can also look up funny videos online, or browse through your favorite store’s website. Thinking about something other than the movie will calm you down and push the fear from your mind.  Check out “Grumpy Cat” videos on YouTube for a good laugh. Catch up with your friends by looking at their online profiles or photos, or chatting online. Choose a book that won’t frighten you -- now is not the time to start a Stephen King novel. Pick something upbeat, funny, or relaxing. You could also read a magazine or a comic book. Examples of funny books include Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, Half Magic, Swindle, or How to Eat Fried Worms. Choose your favorite album or artist and turn the volume up. Sing along, dance, or tidy up your room while listening to the music. Music is a great way to change your mood and will help you think of other things, as you probably have associations with certain songs or artists. For example, listening to your Justin Bieber playlist may make you think of the Justin Bieber concert you attended with your best friend. Focus on remembering how much fun you had, and you’ll forget about the horror movie. Meditate, do yoga, count sheep, take a bubble bath, try progressive muscle relaxation or simply breathe deeply. These activities will slow your heart rate and help you calm down. Focus entirely on the calming activity to help you forget about the horror movie. Spend time working on a crossword puzzle or doing sudoku. Work on a school...

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите что-нибудь забавное. Поищите что-нибудь в интернете. Начните читать книгу. Послушайте музыку. Попробуйте заняться чем-то расслабляющим. Выберите занятие, которое требует концентрации внимания.


Following a plan will help you gain control over your anger at the moment. The key is to gain control of your body's response first. Once you do this, you can work out what is bothering you and why. When you understand this, you can assertively express yourself to make sure you are expressing your anger in a productive way. It takes lots of practice and patience to deal with your feelings in a new, constructive way. Have a specific set of actions in mind for when you feel angry. For example, once you recognize that you are feeling angry, step outside for five minutes. Take some deep breaths and repeat a calming phrase to yourself. This process will help you defuse your anger. When a person is angry, he may tend to think, “Everything's ruined,” or “I'll never be able to do that.” This type of thinking reduces things to an all-or-nothing scenario because the person thinks that the problem is the end of the world. Avoid words and phrases that put situations in absolute terms. Stop framing things with “always” or “never.” Instead, think to yourself: “This situation is frustrating, but it's not the end of the world.” Oftentimes, you can avoid angry outbursts by avoiding the situation that makes you angry.  For example, if you know that you get angry at the morning traffic, try to leave at a different time, or take public transit. If you know you get angry because you skipped lunch, be diligent about eating properly. When you harbor resentment against someone, your anger will only continue and become hard to control. Accept others for who they are. Focus on how you handle a situation, rather than how someone else handles it. Letting go of grudges will help you refocus your energy on more positive things. Exercise can help dissipate anger. For adults and children, research shows that exercise helps with mood regulation and controlling emotions. Try exercising when you're in a mad moment, or use it daily to release aggression. Getting a good night's sleep helps people regulate their emotions. Emotions are harder to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте план по контролю своего гнева. Избегайте мыслей в стиле «все или ничего». Избегайте тех ситуаций, которые вас раздражают. Не держите в себе обиды. Тренируйтесь. Обнуляйте свои эмоции хорошим ночным сном. Попробуйте медитацию. Не расстраивайтесь, если у вас снова повторятся вспышки гнева.


Following your apology, give your BFF the opportunity to respond. Let them express their anger and frustrations, and their pain and discomforts. Do not interrupt them with defensive comments; do not force them to share the blame with you.  Maintain eye contact with your BFF. Lean forward to signal that you are engaged in the conversation. Mirror their body language to show that you sympathize with them. After saying your peace and actively listening to your best friend’s response, stop dwelling on the conflict. In order for your BFF to forgive you, you must recognize that you have done all you can to remedy the situation. If you have truly accepted responsibility for your actions, you will not bring up the conflict again. While you have apologized for your actions, your BFF may not be ready to put the conflict behind them. Remain patient with your BFF. Do not pressure them into forgiving you.  If they ask for space, wait for them to contact you. Be patient; this can take a week, a month, or even longer. If you press your friend to talk before they are ready, they may get stressed or frustrated and block you. This will make it harder to reconnect with them. In general, the more severe the fight was, the longer the forgiveness will take. Breaking their toy probably won't take as long as making with their boyfriend or girlfriend.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выслушайте ответ друга. Отпустите ситуацию. Дайте другу время простить вас.


Food allergy can be one of the contributing factors to IBS in cats. Choosing foods that are hypoallergenic in nature can alleviate symptoms.  Your vet will likely recommend you find a protein and carbohydrate source your cat has not eaten before. Rabbit, venison, or duck-based diets are usually a good starting option as most conventional cat foods do not use these meats. Certain cat food brands, such as Royal Cainn Limited Ingredients Diet, use hypoallergenic products only. You might want to switch to this brand of cat food and see if symptoms improve. Low residue foods are designed to be easy to digest and absorb, lessening bowel issues related to IBS.  Most conventional cat food brands offer a low residue option, but might not be labeled as low residue. Instead, the company might use labels like "Scientific Formula." Ask your veterinarian what brands and categories of cat food you should buy if you're trying a low residue diet.  Iams provides foods that are specifically labeled low residue and made for cats with intestinal problems. This might be a good route. If a low residue brand is not available in the store, you can order a bag online. Fiber is key in many species, cats included, for regular and smooth bowel movements. Upping your cat's fiber intake could improve some of the diarrhea and stomach discomfort related to IBS. Many brands of cat food, such as Royal Cainn, are labeled high fiber. They might be difficult to find in department stores, as most owners do not prioritize a cat's fiber instinct, but you can always make the purchase online.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте гипоаллергенную диету. Переведите кошку на бесшлаковую диету. Давайте кошке еду, богатую пищевыми волокнами.


Food has a significant impact on your breath: As it is digested, the food that you eat is absorbed into your bloodstream and eventually exhaled by your lungs, which means the food odours come out of your mouth when you breathe. Foods like garlic, onions and spicy foods can lead to morning breath.  Fruits and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet that helps to keep bad breath at bay. Try chewing a sprig of parsley to freshen your breath. This herb contains chlorophyll, which helps remove odors from the breath. These modes of eating are no-no’s when it comes to friendly breath. When you don’t consume enough carbohydrates, your body shifts to breaking down fat at a high rate; this leads to the production of ketones and the phenomenon known as “ketone breath,” which is another way of saying “stinky”! Eating stimulates saliva production, which in turn wets the mouth and creates an inhospitable environment for foul-smelling bacteria. Get an early start on the fight against morning breath and eat breakfast first thing in the a.m. Coffee has a very strong aroma that lingers in your mouth, and is difficult to brush off the very back of your tongue. For a quick pick-me-up with a less offensive smell, try tea in an herbal or green variety.

TL;DR in Russian:

Придерживайтесь здорового сбалансированного питания. Откажитесь от низкоуглеводной диеты и голодания. Не пропускайте завтрак. Попробуйте пить чай вместо кофе.


Food is a great way to encourage a stray dog to come closely enough to you to catch him. Fill an empty, crinkly bag of chips with treats that a stray dog would likely love, such as hotdogs or bits of pizza. Where the dog can see you, loudly crinkle the bag and drop the food on the ground.  Pretend like you are picking the food off the ground and eating it yourself. The stray dog will likely become curious at your actions and begin walking toward you.  To appear less threatening, sit on the ground while you are enticing him with food. Be aware that stray dogs may have a decreased sense of smell. Therefore, he may not be enticed by the food, no matter how tasty or smelly it is. If you are driving and happen to see a stray dog by the side of road, pull over safely and try to entice him into your car with food. A dog catch pole is a humane way to catch a stray dog. However, you should use it only  if your own safety will not be at risk when using it. Before trying to catch a stray dog in this way, set up a crate nearby in which you can place the dog after catching him.  Make the crate comfortable by setting blankets inside of it, along with some food and water. If you can entice the stray dog with food, allow him to come closely enough to you where you can quickly hook the pole around his neck.  Move him quickly to the crate when you have hooked him. Release the pole when he is safely in the crate.  Do not make eye contact with the stray as you are catching him. The stray would perceive this as a threat. If your local pet store does not carry dog catch poles, ask the store's staff about where you could purchase one. If you are not able to transport the stray dog to an animal shelter yourself, call your local animal control center. If you were able to entice the stray dog into your car with food, call animal control immediately. It can be dangerous to drive with an unrestrained stray animal in your backseat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приманите бездомную собаку едой. Воспользуйтесь ловчей петлей для отлова собак. Вызовите службу отлова бездомных животных.


Food is one of the biggest issues post-surgery as we all need to eat, and oftentimes cooking and even shopping are difficult in the wake of an operation. Be prepared to help your friend with meals during their recovery.  Offer to get groceries. If you're able to go grocery shopping for your friend, do so. Check in with them if you're planning a shopping trip for yourself and see if there's anything they need. Bring over dishes. If your friend is uncomfortable with someone else doing their shopping, cook for them. Great options for meals are dishes that are re-heatable and keep for long periods. Aim for casseroles, soups, lasagnas, and salads. Be aware of any diet restrictions your friend might have. Oftentimes, certain foods are forbidden after an operation. Ask your friend about any kinds of food the doctor has advised against before preparing them a dish. Also, if your friend had any diet restrictions before the surgery - such as being gluten-free or a vegetarian - make sure you are aware of this. Don't tell them to call you if they need anything.  They will probably not want to bother you. Offer specific help, like, "I have some free time this afternoon, do you need help with anything?" Household chores are a burden after surgery and your friend will really appreciate a helping hand.  Do laundry, dishes, dusting, and any other cleaning. Your friend is probably laid up, so don't let them fall behind. If you have an extra hour, donate it to your friend in need. If they have pets, help with that. Clean the cat's litter box, walk the dog, make sure the animals have food or water. All of this will be appreciated. If needed, provide free childcare. Whether your friend is a single parent or has a spouse who's busy with work, chances are they will need help with the kids after surgery. Free childcare is much appreciated. While cooking and cleaning are tangible means to help a friend in need, sometimes recovery gets boring and all a person wants is good conversation and a little entertainment. Spend a weekend night...

TL;DR in Russian:

Помогите с приготовлением пищи. Предлагайте помощь по хозяйству. Позаботьтесь о развлечениях. Предложите другу сопровождать его в больницу.


Food, especially his favorite food, is an excellent way to capture your boyfriend’s attention. Spend the afternoon making his favorite dinner from scratch. He will appreciate all of the time and effort you put into making a delicious meal for him. If you are not a cook, take your boyfriend out to his favorite restaurant and treat him to a decadent meal and dessert. Alternatively, you could sign up for a couple’s cooking class or make the meal together at your house. Does your boyfriend seem to devote more time to his hobbies than to your relationship? Instead of complaining about his interests, make the effort to join him in these activities. This will allow you to spend time together and to bond over an activity that he is passionate about.  Play Pokemon Go! with your boyfriend Sit in the stands at his sporting events Attend his musical performances Learn his favorite board game or video game Volunteer with him at an organization he is passionate about Invite your boyfriend to step outside of your comfort zone with you. Your desire to do something out of the ordinary, like skydiving, will capture his attention and return his focus to you. The thrill you’ll share as you try something new and risky will rekindle your romance too.  Ask him to go cliff jumping with you Invite him on a rustic camping trip Act out his romantic fantasy (or yours)

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте его любимый ужин. Проявите интерес к его любимому увлечению. Ищите приключения вместе.


Foods that have been processed and combined with white flour and sugar are completely stripped of their healthy fiber content. Eating foods without fiber is hard on digestive system and can lead to constipation. These foods are common culprits:  White bread Snack foods Fast foods Fried foods Dairy Candy Alcoholic beverages like wine, beer and whiskey among others have a dehydrating effect. Being dehydrated can make it much more difficult to pass stools. If you tend to get constipated often, you might want to consider cutting back on alcohol. Stick with just a glass per evening, or it would be best if you eliminate it entirely. When you do decide to drink, make sure you have a glass of water for every glass of alcohol. Caffeine can sometimes help with mild constipation, since it's a diuretic, but it can make prolonged constipation worse, since it’s dehydrating. If you have a three cup a day habit, you might want to cut back for awhile to see if it helps you avoid constipation. Try drinking just one cup per day, or switch to a low-caffeine tea. When you're on the go, you might put off going to the bathroom, but this isn't good for your digestive system. Waiting too long to go to the bathroom is a common reason for constipation, so any time you get the urge, heed it. It can help to have a schedule. For example, you might want to plan to go to the bathroom and have a bowel movement every morning. Once you start this type of routine, your body will respond by staying more regular. Running, yoga, and other physical activities improve digestion. If you’re feeling constipated, try going for a brisk jog or walk to get things moving again. Exercising three or four times a week will help you stay regular and prevent constipation. For some people, sitting on a toilet isn't the best possible position to help them easily have a bowel movement. Many have found that a squatting position makes the process go more smoothly. The easiest way to try this position is to prop up your feet on a stool while you're sitting, so that...

Foods which are high in soluble fiber will naturally reduce your cholesterol. These are easy to find and taste wonderful, especially when well prepared. Some foods you may want to include in your diet include:  Vegetables. Eat lots of high-fiber veggies, such as broccoli, spinach, cabbage, kale, and carrots. Oatmeal. Don’t dress it up with lots of butter or milk, as this will nullify the beneficial effects. Pumpernickel, rye, and other whole grain breads. These are a great source of fiber and are very filling. High-fiber fruits like apples and pears. Who doesn’t like apples and pears? You can also eat prunes, which get a bad rep but actually taste like healthy candy. Beans, such as kidney, garbanzo, pinto, and black beans. If you aren’t getting enough fiber through your diet, then you could also try adding a fiber supplement. These can come in the form of mixable powders, chewable tablets, or a number of other forms. Follow the directions for use listed on the packaging to get the most benefit. This will help keep you from building more bad cholesterol. Instead of using butter and coconut oil, you can switch to using olive oil. Other foods that contain high amounts of trans fats include:  Meat Full-fat dairy, such as cheese, yogurt, milk, and ice cream Eggs, particularly the yolks Packaged cookies, cakes, and crackers Margarine Red yeast rice is commonly used in Chinese medicine and cooking. It can produce similar cholesterol lowering effects as a statin, so it’s important to take it under the supervision of a naturopathic doctor. Take red yeast rice exactly as prescribed if your doctor advises you to. Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, the same active ingredient as the cholesterol drug lovastatin. Be aware that red yeast rice may also contain a contaminant called citrinin, which can cause kidney failure in some people.

Foot fracture symptoms often start out as a slight discomfort towards the front of the foot, where most of the force and pressure is exerted. Many times, this pain is very slight and the onset is only during long periods of exercise, running or working out; this is called a "stress fracture" and is actually a tiny crack in the bone.  As soon as you stop your activity, the pain often vanishes. This leads many people to disregard and not even consider a fracture.  Other symptoms include swelling, throbbing pain, and discoloration or bruising. This is universal for any kind of bone fracture or stress fracture, and is the best way to treat a fracture at home for the first 72 hours after your injury or until you can seek medical care.  Rest. Immediately stop what you are doing and refrain from any activities that cause pain to your foot. No more exercising, running, or whatever it was you were doing when you felt the pain; stop and get off your feet. Ice. As soon as possible, put ice on the injured area. If your foot is fractured, it will soon start to swell, if it hasn't already. Do not apply heat, which would encourage more blood to rush to the area and make the swelling worse. Ice it down. Using crushed ice in a damp tea towel, ice the area for 20 minutes every two hours.  Compression. Wrap the injured area in a bandage fairly snugly to help reduce swelling. Be careful that it's not so tight that it cuts off the circulation; you'll know it's too tight if you experience numbness, tingling, or discoloration. Leave the toes unbandaged if possible to easily check the circulation. Elevation. Sit down or lie down, but keep the injured foot elevated. The idea is to keep the injured foot above the level of your heart in order to decrease swelling. Your fracture is likely to cause some considerable pain, so treat the pain safely while promoting healing in your bones. Avoid naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, which some doctors believe have the potential to delay the healing process with bone injuries. As soon as the pain and...

For a basic PVC paint job, you'll need a large sheet of high-grit sandpaper, a small container of acetone, a clean washcloth, one or more cans of spray paint in your chosen color and the PVC you wish to paint. Make sure you have everything you need before you begin painting.  Practice proper workshop safety. Wear gloves, protective eyewear and a ventilated facemask to filter out dust and chemicals.  Choose a spray paint that's specially formulated for use on plastics, such as Krylon Fusion or Rust-Oleum Plastic. Lay down a large dropcloth or plastic tarp where you plan to do your painting. Keep all furniture and nearby appliances and electronics covered. Remember to work in a space that permits proper airflow, like a garage or workshop with the doors and windows open.  Work in a well-ventilated, open space. This will not only help the paint dry faster but keep you from being exposed to harmful acetone and paint fumes.  Spray paint tends to disperse when it's applied, so a dropcloth will be useful for protecting floors, countertops and other work surfaces. If you don't have access to a dropcloth, you could also use a few overlapping sheets of newspaper.

For a character analysis assignment in school, your character may be assigned to you. But if you get to choose, make sure you only consider characters who play a dynamic role in the story. Those characters who appear flat (one dimensional - someone who is only good or only bad and has no complex motivations to consider) are not good choices for a character analysis.  For example, if you are reading Mark Twain's classic Huckleberry Finn, you might consider choosing Huck or the runaway slave, Jim, because they are dynamic characters who show a wide range of emotion, who often act in unpredictable ways, and who move the plot forward with their actions. It might be less effective to choose the duke or the king, the tricksters Huck and Jim meet in Arkansas, because they have fairly minor roles in the story, they don't show a wide range of emotions, and, more than anything, they're simply stock characters (the story needs a humorous detour and a way for Jim and Huck to be separated, so that Huck can have his infamous All right, then, I'll go to hell! moment, and the duke and the king fulfill that role). Even if you've read the story before, you need to read it again because you'll notice new things now that you have a specific task in mind. Notice every place that your character appears and consider the following:  How does the author describe them? For the Huck Finn example, you might think about how Huck is described as a backwoods boy, but he clearly wrestles with larger issues that have complex social implications - like slavery and religion.  What kinds of relationships does your character have with other characters? Think about how Huck relates to runaway slave Jim, both in the beginning of the novel and at the end. Think about Huck's relationship with his drunk, abusive father and how it shaped his identity.  How do the actions of your character move the plot forward? Huck is the main character, so obviously his actions are important. But what, specifically, is special about the way Huck acts? How does he...

For a personal time capsule, 10 to 30 years may be enough, whereas a generational time capsule meant for your grandchildren may need to last 60 to 70 years. If you want your capsule to be opened at an even later date, you will want to start planning the logistics. It's okay to not have a specific date for the capsule to be opened. Maybe you want to open it when you are married or reach retirement. If your capsule is only supposed to last 5 to 10 years, a simple, everyday container will keep the contents safely tucked away and easily portable, without the risk of outdoor stowing. Keep in mind that a capsule made of cardboard or paper may be completely destroyed by fire, flood, or other natural disaster. If you have a used coffee tin around, the aluminum will hold up below ground for around 10 years. To avoid getting water past the lid, bury the container inside a Ziploc bag, or other airtight plastic wrapping. If you plan to place the time capsule outdoors or bury the time capsule, select a container that is likely to survive, like a commercial or home-built aluminum, stainless steel, or PVC plastic capsule.  One example of a sturdy home-built PVC container is a PVC tube with an end cap attached with PVC cement and a test cap lid that can be screwed tightly into the pipe.  Consider using desiccant "gel bags", such as those included in the packaging of electronic goods and in bottles of vitamin tablets. These help to absorb any moisture that may have been present at the time of encapsulation and help to kill microbes that may make some of your items perish.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите продолжительность хранения капсулы. Используйте обувную коробку, корзину или старый чемодан для краткосрочного хранения вещей в помещении. Используйте кофейную банку в качестве простого краткосрочного решения. Выберите емкость с повышенной защитой для длительного хранения.


For a small dinner party, you should choose at least three different appetizers to serve. This amount will grow as your guest list grows.  Stick with three appetizers when inviting 10 guests or less.  If you're inviting 10 to 20 guests, offer five different choices. When your guest list ranges between 20 and 40 guests, offer seven selections. If your guest list exceeds 40 guests, provide nine different choices. You do not need to provide more than nine different appetizers, no matter how large your guest list grows. Appetizers can be grouped into various families. By choosing selections from more than one family, you'll provide enough variety to wake up your guests' tastebuds and prepare them for the main course.  Choosing selections from only one family, on the other hand, can cause guests to become too bored or ambivalent toward a certain taste by the time the appetizers are finished. In general, appetizers can be classified under five families: garden, starch, protein, snacks, and dips/spreads.  Garden appetizers include vegetables, fruits, potatoes, and olives. Starch appetizers include finger sandwiches, dumplings, pizza, phyllo pastry, bruschetta, breadsticks, crackers, and buns. Protein appetizers include meatballs, sliced meats, skewered meats, chicken wings, sushi, and egg dishes. Snack appetizers include nuts, chips, pretzels, cheese cubes, and popcorn. Dips and spread include guacamole, relishes, preserves, compound butters, and any other spread served with crackers, fruits, or vegetables. Before selecting your appetizers, you should plan out your main course. Once you've determined that, you should choose appetizers that prepare the palette without overwhelming it.  Complements are essentially opposites. If your main course will be filled with rich foods, make sure that most of your appetizers are fairly light and fresh. Conversely, if you're serving a lighter dish as your main course, opt for rich appetizer choices. Do not repeat flavors too often. You can work around a theme, but using the same...

For a small size pond, digging with a shovel should be sufficient. Keep these factors in mind as you dig:  Since you want to facilitate the growth of wildlife, your pond should be deep enough that it won’t freeze solid over the winter. If you’re in an area that gets cold, you’ll want to dig the pond several feet deep so that the animals living there can live overwinter. One side of the pond should have a gradual slope, a beach of sorts, so that animals that wander in will be able to make their way out. Animals can drown in ponds with steep cliffs on every side. Reserve the topsoil in a pile as you dig. You’ll be using this later when you edge the pond. When you’re finished digging, remove sharp rocks from the hole. First line the pond with a layer of sand, making sure to cover every crevice. Next add a layer of biodegradable or man-made materials. You can use newspapers or burlap, but biodegradable materials may rot in time, effectively leaving you with no protection other than the layer of sand. Stones may force their way up through this sand layer and damage the liner. So consider non-biodegradable material such as specialist pond underlay as an option. When you've placed this layer down, cover it with a large piece of waterproof pond liner. Different types of waterproof pond liners are available at home improvement stores, and often at garden stores. Use a hose to fill the pond up to the edge, making sure to stop before it overflows.You may also fill the pond with collected rainwater if you’d prefer not to use pumped water. Trim the overlapping liner back to about eight to ten inches (20 to 25 cm). Lift back the pond liner and use a spade to cut a 6-inch (16 cm) slit into the earth around the entire pond. Insert the spade a few inches into the slit, maneuver it so it is parallel to the ground, and gently lift the grass around the entire slit, creating a sort of grass flap around the entire pond. Now lift back the grass flap and tuck the edges of the pond liner into the slit, replacing the grass flap over...

For a two-dimensional array, you will have both rows and columns that need to be printed out. Enter for ( i = 0; i < rows; i++) for the rows and for ( j = 0; j < columns; j++) for the columns. System.out.print(aryNumbers[i][j] + " " ); followed by System.out.println( "" ); to print arrays within arrays and multidimensional arrays as a line. Different compilers have different ways to accomplish this task. You may be able to go to "File" and then "Run." You may also have the option to simply click the "Run" icon in your toolbar. Your elements will be printed out in a line or column in the lower window of Java.

For all additional information, such as the make of engine or the exact assembly plant that made the vehicle, you'll need to know the internal system that car manufacturer uses.  If you don't know the car manufacturer, you can look it up based on the second character. Look up the most common manufacturer's code online. Try to find a VIN lookup service or the VIN decoding sheets on your car manufacturer's website. Failing that, use a search engine to look for "VIN decoding sheet" + "(name of company)". This may be difficult or impossible for some manufacturers. Contact the company's support service if they have one and ask about VIN decoding specific to their cars. Ask an auto service shop if you can see their decoding charts. The workers there use the charts to direct the repairs and adjustments they make. Depending on the manufacturer, the third character of your VIN is used either to narrow down the location further to a company division, or to describe the vehicle's type. Most of the time, this character simply means "car" or "truck", or provides little information that the country code doesn't, for instance "made by Honda Canada". These make up the "Vehicle Description System" or VDS. According to specific company codes, they describe the vehicle's engine and transmission types, exact model, and similar information. Technically, the 9th character is also considered part of the "VDS" section, but is used to confirm the VIN is real, not to describe a component. If you want to know exactly which factory was used to make your car, the 11th digit will tell you. Just like everything else in this section, you'll need to find that company's system to find out more. See the beginning of this section for more details on how to accomplish that. Each manufacturer can decide how to use this space for their own purposes. Most commonly, this is a single 6-digit number that tells you the vehicle's serial number.  Some manufacturers never repeat serial numbers, while others start again at 000001 each year. The 10th...

For all bills except $1 and $2 dollar bills, there should be a security thread (plastic strip) running from top to bottom.  The thread is embedded in (not printed on) the paper and runs vertically through the clear field to the left of the Federal Reserve Seal.  On authentic bills, this should be easily visible against a light source. The printing should say "USA" followed by the denomination of the bill, which is spelled out for $10 and $20 bills but presented in numerals on the $5, $50 and $100 bills.  These threads are placed in different places on each denomination to prevent lower-denomination bills being bleached and reprinted as higher denominations. You should be able to read the inscriptions from both the front or back of the note.  Also, it should only be visible against a light source. Plastic strips in high-denomination bills should glow a specific color.  The $5 dollar bill should glow blue; the $10 bill should glow orange; the $20 bill should glow green; the $50 bill should glow yellow; the $100 bill should glow pink. If your bill remains white under a black light, it is likely a counterfeit. Use natural light to see if your bill bears an image of the person whose portrait is on the bill.  Hold the bill up to a light to check for a watermark.  A watermark bearing the image of the person whose portrait is on the bill can be found on all $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills series 1996 and later, and on $5 bills series 1999 and later. The watermark is embedded in the paper to the right of the portrait and should be visible from both sides of the bill. Color shifting ink is ink that appears to change color when the bill is tilted.  Color-shifting ink can be found on $100, $50 and $20 dollar bills series 1996 and later, and on $10 dollar bills series 1999 and later. $5 and lower bills do not yet have this feature.  The color originally appeared to change from green to black, but it goes from copper to green in recent redesigns of the bills. This includes small words or numbers that are hardly visible to...

For all of the methods below, you will need a tinder nest to nurture the sparks and/or embers you create into a flame. In order to create friction and maintain a flame, you will need to use dry wood, as best as you can get.  Dry wood hiding places. If the area is damp, you may have to check the interior of logs, under ledges, and other places that are protected from wetness. Know your trees. Not all wood ignites equally. Depending on your locality, some particular trees start fires more readily. For instance, paper birch yields paper-like bark that, even when wet, often makes an excellent tinder. Look beyond wood. Although fire-building is usually taught in the spirit of building a fire in the wilderness, you may have to adapt. In an urban situation there may be no trees, so you may have to look at things like old books, wooden pallets, furniture, and the like to get a fire started.

For an ambient mosquito repellent that's similar to a mosquito lamp or candle, gather together an empty container with a lid, an unused dish sponge, and one or any combination of the following essential oils: lavender, pennyroyal, eucalyptus, citronella, peppermint, or lemongrass.  Saturate the sponge in one or any combination of the essential oils. Place the sponge in the container, close it, and let it stand for 24 hours. Use the ambient repellent by opening the lid of the can and letting the essential oils waft out from the can. This is a very basic recipe that you can expand and elaborate on. This recipe calls for eucalyptus oil, but feel free to use any combination of oils listed above. Keep in mind that this recipe has not been proven to repel mosquitoes.  Into a spray bottle, mix together:  1/2 cup witch hazel. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. 30-50 drops of essential oils. Choose any combination of citronella, clove, lemongrass, rosemary, tea tree, cajeput, eucalyptus, cedar, catnip, lavender, or mint.   Shake ingredients together and spray over uncovered portions of your body. Avoid getting repellent in eyes or mouth. Avoid getting any on your clothing or it could stain. This recipe uses boiled herbs and witch hazel as a base. It may help repel mosquitos, although it hasn't been proven to be effective.  Bring 1 cup of water to boil and add to it 3-4 tablespoons of any combination of dried peppermint, spearmint, citronella, lemongrass, catnip, lavender, or cloves. Cover pot.  After two minutes, remove pot from the element and, leaving the cover on, let rest until lukewarm. Strain water into 1/2 cup witch hazel (or rubbing alcohol) and store in a spray bottle in your refrigerator. Use on skin as needed.

For an electric griddle, preheat it to 350°F (177°C). In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the hot chocolate, vanilla, and egg until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk them together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until properly combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, and use a whisk or rubber spatula to combine everything. Don’t overmix the batter, because this can develop the gluten in the flour and make for chewy rather than fluffy pancakes. This will give the flour time to absorb the moisture in the batter. It will also give the gluten time to relax, and this will make for light and fluffy pancakes. If in a hurry, you can skip the resting step, but your pancakes won’t be quite as fluffy. This will make one pancake. Repeat for however many pancakes your griddle will hold, leaving enough space between them to allow for flipping. When bubbles form and start to pop, after two to three minutes, use a spatula to flip the pancakes. Once they’ve been flipped, cook the pancakes for an additional two minutes, or until they're golden brown on both sides. An oven isn't necessary, but if you're doing a big batch, it's the best way to keep cooked pancakes warm while the others are in the griddle. Pre-heat the oven to 225 F (107 C), and then place the plate or cooling rack and pan in there. When the first batch of pancakes is in the oven, add another tablespoon (14 g) of butter to the hot griddle. Add more batter and continue the process until all the pancakes are done. Place a pancake on a serving plate and garnish as desired. Enjoy!

For back injuries that are not overly severe, taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and/or Ibuprofen (Advil) for pain control and inflammation may be of help. Both of these medications are available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. Robaxacet is another option for pain control that also contains a muscle relaxant property. If your back pain is caused from a strained or injured muscle, this is likely to be your best bet to help to alleviate the pain, as well as to speed recovery. If you have sustained a more severe back injury, you may need to opt for stronger pain medications. Interestingly enough, medical trials have shown that getting the pain under control early in a back injury is key to optimal healing. This is because chronic back pain can become a neurological pattern in the central nervous system which makes it more difficult to get rid of the longer you have had it for. Stronger painkillers include prescription strength Naproxen or Tylenol #3 (Tylenol mixed with Codeine), among others. Depending upon the specific type of injury in your back, sometimes an injection (of a corticosteroid medication, normally, which works to fight inflammation and pain) can be of great help. Speak to your doctor if you are interested, or to your naturopath for "prolotherapy" (which is the "natural equivalent" to a corticosteroid injection). As a last resort for severe back pain, surgeons can either implant a device that stimulates your spinal cord to help diminish pain, or they can perform back surgery if there is an anatomical injury that can be resolved through surgery. Note that both of these are "last resort" options that are only considered after you have "failed" to improve with lifestyle methods, rest, and medication. More than 50% of people with chronic back pain develop temporary or ongoing depression alongside the back pain, oftentimes related to the disability they face as a result of the injury. If you feel like you may have depression, or be at risk...

For best freezing results, freeze berries that are juicy, tender, and flavorful as can be. Freezing berries that are too tart or a little mushy will leave you disappointed in their texture and flavor when they thaw.  Harvest blueberries early in the morning - that's when their flavor is strongest.  If you don't freeze blueberries right after harvesting them, keep them cool in the refrigerator until you're ready. When it comes to washing blueberries before freezing, there are two camps. There is research that shows that washing blueberries before freezing can result in slightly tougher skin once the berries thaw. Others say the difference is imperceptible, and they'd rather not have dirt in their freezer.  If the berries are washed before frozen, you can enjoy eating a frozen one without having to thaw it. If you're planning to use the berries in a recipe for pie or another cooked dessert, washing them before freezing shouldn't be a problem. If you decide to wash before freezing, rinse the berries gently and let them dry completely before freezing. A cookie sheet or large roasting pan should do the trick. Spread them out so that they aren't piled on top of each other.
