To start treating a mildew-infected carpet or rug, remove as much of the mold from between the tightly-packed fibers as possible by sweeping or beating the carpet with a broom. Make sure to wear a dust mask and, if possible, perform this task outside away from children and pets; inhaling mildew can be hazardous to your health. For a deeper clean, you can also use a hand brush rather than a broom. Carpets and rugs are typically tougher than the fabrics listed above, so you can get away with using slightly stiffer bristles, but your should still take care not to scrub too hard or you may damage the carpet fibers. Next, use a vacuum cleaner to suck up all of the of the mold you've just dislodged in the last step. Any standard hose attachment should work, but for extra cleaning power, you may want to use a vacuum head with mechanical rollers or brushes. It's a good idea to empty your vacuum after using it to treat mildew. If you don't, mildew spores can be blown into the air the next time you vacuum. To reduce the health dangers of inhalation, empty your vacuum outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Soak a sponge or a small rag in a mixture of soap and warm water. Wring the soap or rag out, then dab at the formerly mildew-y spot to let the cleaning solution soak in somewhat. Don't scrub or grind the sponge or rag into the carpet, as this can force mildew spores deep into the fibers. Avoid using excess water. If you soak your carpet, you'll be creating the sort of moist conditions that led to the growth of the mildew in the first place. Your goal here is to gently clean the carpet fibers, not give them a bath. After you apply soap and water, to remove any excess moisture, give the affected section of carpet another quick vacuuming. It will probably be impossible to remove all of the moisture, but the more water you're able to suck out of the carpet before you leave it to dry, the better. Mildew, like many molds, thrives in dank, dark, wet conditions. By removing these conditions, you can make it less likely for...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подметите зараженный плесенью участок метлой. Пропылесосьте ковер. Промокните поверхность водой с мылом. Пропылесосьте ковер еще раз. Если есть такая возможность, включите осушитель воздуха, пока ковер сохнет. Если плесени слишком много, подумайте, не стоит ли избавиться от ковра. Используйте шампунь для ковров или спрей из уксуса, чтобы устранить оставшийся запах.


To start, bring 2 cups of water to a full boil. Remove the pan from the heat, add 1 cup of dry, instant coffee, 3 1/2 cups of white sugar, and stir until everything is completely dissolved. If your diet restricts you from consuming processed, white sugar, you can easily substitute brown sugar or your favorite type of refined sugar substitute. There are dozens of recipes out there and plenty use other varieties of sugar. While water boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), alcohol boils at around 172 degrees F (78 degrees C). Wait for your temperature to drop below 172 degrees before adding rum or you will be very disappointed by your Kahlua. If you don't have a cooking thermometer, your best bet is to wait about 15 or 20 minutes for it to cool down. Always err on the safer, cooler side in this situation and wait longer if you're unsure (and it still seems hot). What kind of rum? Well, that's up to you. Generally, it's safe to go middle-of-the-road on this part. You don't want to waste your top-shelf rum on making a Kahlua substitute, but you also don't want it to taste like mouthwash either. Any generic rum will do the trick. You'll notice that the next recipe contains vodka. If you're a bigger vodka fan, you could keep to this recipe if you'd like and switch out the rum for the vodka, no problem. And if you have time and the supplies, why not try both and see which you like better? Add the vanilla bean to the container and store in the fridge for at least 30 days to age the flavor. You read that right – to make Kahlua that way your mouth pictures it, it has to be aged. That being said, recipe #3 on this guide is an instant Kahlua you can use right away, though it won't taste the same. The vanilla needs time to infuse in to give it that essential Kahlua flavor. Vanilla extract can be substituted, but do note that the Kahlua won't have the same rich, aged flavor. Attach a label to the container identifying its contents and the date it was made. That way no one mistakes it for soda! What's more, you may not...

To start, cross the left lace over the right lace. Wrap this left lace around the right lace and pull tight to complete a basic starting knot. Bend the left lace in half, forming a loop, and pinch the bottom of the loop together with your fingers. Repeat the same thing with the right lace and hold that loop secure with your other hand.  Hold the two loops side by side for the moment. Quickly gauge the approximate size of each loop. They do not need to be perfectly even, but the two loops or “bunny ears” should be roughly equal in size. Fold the left loop over and around the right loop, and then gently pull it through the hole that forms between the two loops. Do not tighten yet. Bend the right loop forward so that it crosses under the left loop and the entire knot structure. Feed this loop through the same middle hole that you just fed the left loop through.  This can be done simultaneously with or immediately after taking care of the left loop. Note, however, that the left loop will need to be folded over before you begin working with this right loop. Otherwise, the middle hole you need to push the right loop through will not be created yet. After pulling the right loop through the center hole, the two lace loops should be about the same size again. Pull the right loop to the right and the left loop to the left to tighten the knot. Use even pressure on both laces to form an even, tidy bow.  As long as you apply enough pressure and tighten the knots thoroughly, they should not come undone, even with slippery leather laces. You might have to push the knot together a little as you tighten it.

TL;DR in Russian:

To start, place your arms around the girl you want to carry. You can place one arm around her back and the other arm around the bend in her knees. Have her place her own arms arounds your shoulders to make the process of picking her up easier. When lifting an object heavier than a few pounds, you want to lift with your legs instead of your back. This prevents back strain. Squat down and position your arms around the girl. Then, move upward, lifting your own body with your legs instead of your back.  You can keep your balance by spreading your feet apart slightly before lifting, providing you with a wider base. If you feel you're losing your balance, you may want to set the girl down and start over just to be safe. When carrying a heavy object, you should keep that object close to your body. A human body is no different. If you carry a girl closer to you, the process will feel more intimate and romantic.  Pull the girl in close to you. Have her pull herself in close by nestling in your arms. You can gently squeeze her legs and back, bringing her body closer to your body. When carrying a heavy object, keep your back, shoulders, and neck straight. Try to consciously bring your shoulders back when carrying a girl, straightening out your back. You may stumble a bit as you carry a person, but try to do your best to keep your body straight. Imagine a vertical line is drawn between your ankles and the tip of your head. You do not want to drop a person you are carrying. This can cause injury. For added safety, ask that the girl hold onto you. She can gently wrap her arms around your shoulders for support. As most people weigh over 100 pounds, carrying a person can be strenuous work. Only carry a girl as long as you feel comfortable. When you begin to feel strain in your muscles, gently put the girl down.  Squat slightly, lowering your body with your legs and not your back. Lower the arm that's holding her legs, allowing her to safely place her feet onto solid ground. Help her stand back upright if she stumbles at all...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подхватите девушку руками. Осуществите подъем с помощью ног. Держите девушку прижатой к вашему телу, когда переносите ее. Следите за тем, чтобы ваши спина, плечи и шея оставались ровными. Попросите девушку держаться за вас для дополнительной поддержки. Опустите девушку на землю, когда устанете.


To start, try to identify where there is a need for a new product. As an inventor, you should have an inquisitive mind. As you look at various products in your day-to-day life, identify gaps in the market. Look for places where there's room for improvement or innovation.  Think about what market you're interested in. For example, if you're interested in music and electronics, think about what makes the iPod so desirable. Tap into what consumers want in a given market. Do people want to better themselves? Do they want entertainment, convenience? Each time you see someone enjoying a product or service, stop and ask yourself, "Why does this person use this service? What about this product is enjoyable to this person? What need is being met here?" With any market, there's always something missing. The best inventors understand the fundamentals of a field and look for where it could be expanded. For example, the people who invented services like Uber and Lyft realized taxi services were no longer cutting it. People wanted a more personalized experience and craved the wide availability and convenience of calling a cab without having to make a phone call or find one on the street. Look into an existing market and ask yourself what is missing.  Think about common complaints people have. Going back to the music example, what do your friends complain about regarding their iPods? What features do they want that are not currently provided by Apple? You can try asking friends to ascertain what's missing. For example, ask your friend, "If you could change one thing about your iPod, what would you change?" The answer could give you an idea for an invention for the music industry. Some of the greatest inventions are simply expansions or innovations on existing products. Can you think of a new spin on an existing product or service? Can you find a way to make a longstanding, successful invention more convenient and desirable? If so, this may be a great product to try to invent and sell.  Research the market before you begin....

To start, you need to consider the placement of your pansies. They should be in a cool, moist, protected area of your garden. Consider placing them under a tree that will provide shade for the pansies. While the pansy plant is very hardy, its flowers will be eaten by critters, bugs, and anything else that might come along so try to plant them in a protected area. Pansy plants will look rough and not well cared for if they are placed in an area with large amounts of wind and rain. Try to reserve a safe spot in your garden for them that is shielded against the wind. If placed in a container, be sure your plant does not receive sun during the hottest hours of the day. Move the container during the summer to a cooler area to encourage blooms year round. The reason pansies stop blooming is in the design of the plant. Pansies bloom early in the spring, produce seeds, then die back in the summer.

TL;DR in Russian:

To start, you'll want to remove the synthetic hair from the bag it came in. This can be difficult, as synthetic hair is fine and often somewhat tangled or bunched up when packaged. Slowly remove small bunches of hair at a time, smoothing them out as you go and removing any fuzzy bits.  You may have to periodically use your fingers, or a doll comb, to comb through tangled bits of synthetic hair. It can get tangled easily. Keep removing small bunches of hair and smoothing them out until you have a long line of synthetic hair. Once you've removed and sorted through the synthetic hair, you can now cut the hair to the length appropriate for your doll. Cut the doll hair to the length you desire. The hair will drape over the doll’s head so cut the hair to twice the length that the doll’s hair length will be. Synthetic hair can sometimes be difficult to cut, as it's often unwieldy to handle. Dampening the hair may help it stay together more, allowing you to better judge where to cut. Wrap the strands of hair tightly around your pointer and middle finger, with the center of the strands exposed. This means you should wrap the hair so the midpoint of the hair is resting on your index finger. Apply a thin layer of tacky glue vertically across the center of the strands. Make sure you are covering as many strands as possible. If you're struggling to move the glue in a straight line, ask a friend to do this part for you. It may be hard to hold the hair with one hand and maneuver the glue with the other. Before the tacky glue dries, place a sewing needle along the line of glue you just applied. It helps to pinch the hair together underneath the needle, as close to the needle as possible. This process is a means to force the glue to seep through the hair, gluing all the strands together at the center. Hold the needle there while the tacky glue dries. Once again, this may be difficult to do on your own. If you're struggling to hold the needle in one hand, and the hair in the other, ask a friend for help. Once the glue is dry,...

To start, you'll want your aquarium completely assembled and filled with everything you want in it, besides the fish. See our articles on setting up freshwater and marine aquariums for more information. Below is a brief checklist of things you'll want to do before getting started — this may not match all aquariums perfectly:  Assemble the aquarium Add substrate Add water Add air stones, air pumps, etc. Add plants, rocks, etc. Add filtration system (and/or protein skimmer) Add heater Your goal in this cycling process is to populate the tank with fish that produce waste but can survive the initial high levels of toxins long enough for the beneficial waste-processing bacteria to grow. Thus, you'll want to pick a variety that is known for being a good cycling fish and start with a small number. Later, once the bacteria have grown, you can slowly add more fish of different types. Below are just a few good choices for cycling fish:  White Clouds Zebra Danios Cherry or Tiger Barbs Pseudotrophius Zebra Banded Gouramis X-ray Tetras Pupfish Most minnows Most guppies When cycling an aquarium with your fish, it's very important not to overfeed them. Though different fish may have different dietary needs, a good rule of thumb is to give food once every other day. Only offer a moderate-sized meal — you don't want any extra food left over when the fish are done eating. This is done for two reasons:  Fish who eat more produce more waste, which can cause the levels of toxins in the tank to rise before the bacteria have a chance to colonize the aquarium. Leftover food will eventually rot, producing toxins on its own. While you're waiting for your tank to cycle, every few days, replace about 10-25% of the tank's water. As with the reduced feeding schedule described above, this is another way of ensuring that toxin levels don't get too high before the bacteria has a chance to grow. If you have a saltwater tank, don't forget to add a suitable amount of marine salt every time you change the water to keep the tank at a proper...

TL;DR in Russian:

Для начала обустройте аквариум и настройте систему фильтрации. Запустите в аквариум несколько рыбок, способных жить в среде с повышенным уровнем токсинов. Не перекармливайте рыбок.

Как только уровни токсинов упали до нуля, запускайте в аквариум других рыбок.


To stencil your design onto a t-shirt, you will need:  A black and white print out of your design. Its important to use a black and white printout of your design so it will be easy to trace. A piece of contact paper, or a transparency A craft knife, or exacto knife A plain t-shirt A piece of cardboard big enough to cover the front area of the shirt Contact paper is clear paper used for covering books. It has a normal side and a sticky side that peels off. You want to tape your paper to the peeling side so that the design is visible through the front of the contact paper—the non-sticky side. You can also use a piece of transparency or clear paper. Attach it to the printout of your design with tape. Lay the attached papers on a flat surface, like a table. Trace the lines with the craft knife or an exacto knife. Keep in mind the black parts you cut out are the parts of the design that will be filled with paint. Remove the normal paper with the design from the contact paper as well. Place the sticky stencil onto the t-shirt, making sure it is straight and not wrinkled. If you are using a transparency or clear paper instead of contact paper, attach the transparency to the shirt with tape. Doing this separates the front and back so the ink doesn’t bleed through to the other side. Only put paint on the spots that have been cut out of the contact paper—the spots that will be painted in dark on the t-shirt. Let the paint dry. Test the paint by gently touching the painted spots. If paint comes away on your finger, it is not fully dry. You will now have a stenciled on t-shirt. You can use the stencil to make another shirt if you want more than one stenciled t-shirt.

To successfully pursue philosophy as a career, you must acquire a doctorate or, at very least, a master's degree.  Earning a living from philosophy means using your knowledge and (hopefully) wisdom to produce original works of philosophical thought and, usually, to teach others about the field. In other words, the professional philosopher of today is typically an academic, and this requires an advanced degree. Equally important, the rigors of graduate school will help you further your philosophical thinking. In particular, you'll need to learn how to write in the very disciplined style that academic journals demand. Spend some time exploring the philosophy programs offered by a variety of different universities. Pick the ones that sound best to you and start applying for programs. Graduate school applications are highly competitive, so don't expect to be accepted to the first program you apply to. It's a good idea to apply to several schools, ideally 10 to 12. Even before you have completed your graduate studies, you should begin the work of trying to publish your philosophical insights.  There are many academic journals that focus on philosophy. Publishing in these journals will help you gain a reputation as a philosophical thinker and improve your chances of getting hired as a philosophy professor. It's also a good idea to present your work at academic conferences. Taking part in these events is a good opportunity to get more feedback from other professional thinkers and is good for your career prospects as well. Many of history's greatest philosophers have been teachers. Beyond this, any university that might want to hire you to study philosophy professionally will also expect you to teach other budding philosophers. Your graduate program will most likely give you some opportunities to teach undergraduate students and develop your pedagogical skills. After you've completed your graduate studies, start looking for a job as a philosophy professor. This process is arguably even more competitive than applying...

To take a cutting, use a pair of garden shears or saw to cut off a thick, healthy-looking branch from a mature plumeria plant. Target branches that are brown or darker green because it’s a sign that the branches are mature. If you making the cuts yourself, it’s best to take the cuttings in the spring or early summer.  Clean your garden shears with rubbing alcohol so that you don’t spread any bacteria or disease to your plumeria cuttings. You can also purchase cuttings from certain garden stores or online. Flowers and leaves will compete with new root growth, which will inhibit the growth of your cutting. To prevent this, use sterilized hand shears or scissors to cut off any leaves or flowers from your cutting. Wear gloves because plumeria has a sticky sap that can get on your hands. Drying out the cuttings is necessary before you plant the plumeria. Letting the cuttings sit for 1-2 weeks will allow the freshly cut end to callous over and for the rest of the cutting to dry out. Leave the cuttings in a warm or humid area for the best results. Once the plumeria has calloused and dried, the cuttings are ready for planting. If you plan to store the cuttings before planting them, wrap and secure the cut end of the cutting with plastic wrap and a rubber band. You can store dried cuttings for 2-3 months. Discard any cuttings that show signs of disease or mold.

To use these codes your keyboard must have a separate numeric keypad off to the right-hand side of your keyboard- ASCII codes will work for Microsoft Office. They may not work with all Windows programs, so you may have to check the programs individually to see if they are compatible. While there are many numeric codes to remember, the one thing you need to do for all of the codes is to first hold the ALT key. Continue to hold the key while you type the necessary numeric code. Hold Alt and type the following codes to get grave accents:  à = 0224; À = 0192 è = 0232; È = 0200 ì = 0236; Ì = 0204 ò = 0242; Ò = 0210 ù = 0249; Ù = 0217  Type the following codes to get acute accents:  á = 0225; Á = 0193 é = 0233; É = 0201 í = 0237; Í = 0205 ó = 0243; Ó = 0211 ú = 0250; Ú = 0218 ý = 0253; Ý = 0221  Type the following codes to get circumflex accents:  â = 0226; Â = 0194 ê = 0234; Ê = 0202 î = 0238; Î = 0206 ô = 0244; Ô = 0212 û = 0251; Û = 0219  Type the following codes to get tilde accents:  ã = 0227; Ã = 0195 ñ = 0241; Ñ = 0209 õ = 0245; Õ = 0213  Type the following codes to get umlaut accents:  ä = 0228; Ä = 0196 ë = 0235; Ë = 0203 ï = 0239; Ï = 0207 ö = 0246; Ö = 0214 ü = 0252; Ü = 0220 ÿ = 0255; Ÿ = 0159 The accent will appear above the corresponding letter as shown. Learning the accent codes can take some practice as there are many to remember. You can make a cheat sheet to keep by your computer so you can reference it quickly if you need to use accents often. If you use accents frequently, you should reconfigure the keyboard to better suit your typing needs.

To use your alone time to its fullest, you need to begin by embracing it. Learn to love the benefits being alone brings and resolve yourself to have a positive attitude about it.  Embrace being able to do, say, think, or act however you want. When you’re by yourself, you don’t have to worry about the thoughts or judgments of others. You can be utterly and unabashedly yourself and never think twice about what someone else might think or say. Love the independence that comes with having time to yourself. You don’t have to take anyone else’s tastes, preferences, or desires into account when making your decisions. If you want to watch terrible reality television, no one can whine about it or beg you to change the channel. If you want to go for an extra-long walk or jog, no one can complain about how long you were out or hijack your plans. Savor not having to look good for anyone. If you want to spend all day in your pajamas with messy hair and unbrushed teeth, do it! No one will be the wiser and no one can look at sideways at your unicorn slippers. Being around people usually means enduring at least some degree of awkwardness some of the time. Being alone, on the other hand, means never having to dodge awkward questions about your dating life or listen to someone tell you all about their cat’s agoraphobia. Having time to yourself gives you the chance to step back from all the frantic activity of daily life and interactions. You have time to actually be with yourself--and appreciate your own company.  To fully enjoy your time alone, decide to let yourself truly be who you are. Embrace your quirks--talk to yourself, talk to your chair, do a weird dance while you brush your teeth, slide rather than walk whenever possible, etc. And then take time to really appreciate what an awesome and unique person you are.  Start defining yourself by your own unique qualities rather than by your relationships or other people’s opinions. Being alone gives you the chance to really consider yourself for who you are, apart from other...

To win the game, you need to be the first one to bear off, or remove, all of your checkers from the board and into your tray. To bear off your checkers, you need to roll both dice and use the numbers to move pieces into the tray. The numbers you roll must be exact or higher than the number of spaces needed to remove each piece from the board. For example, if you roll a 6-2, you can bear off two pieces that are on these points. But if you do not have a checker on the 6 point, you can bear it off from the next highest point on your board, such as the 5th or 4th point. You can only start bearing off your checkers once they are all in your home court. To begin bearing off, get all of your checkers into the 1-6 points on your board. They can be placed on any of these points. Don't forget that your checkers are still vulnerable when they're in your own home court. If the opposing player has a checker on the bar, then he can still enter it into a blot on your court if you have any, forcing you to take out one of your pieces and move it to the bar. After that, you can't continue bearing off until it's back in the home court. When bearing off, you can only bear off checkers that occupy the corresponding point. For example, if you rolled a 4-1, and you have a checker in the 4th and 1st point, you can bear them off. If your roll double sixes and have four checkers on the 6th point, you can bear off all six.  If you still have a die to play and no checker to bear off, you must move a checker according to the number on the die. For example, if you only have two checkers remaining in the 6th and 5th points and you roll a 2-1, then you can move the checker on the 6th point over to the 4th point, and the checker on the 5th point over to the 4th point. You can use a higher roll to bear off a die on a lower point. If you roll a 5-4 and you only have a few checkers remaining in the 3rd and 2nd points, you can bear off two of these checkers. You must move a lower die roll before a higher one even if it means you can't fully use...

Toasted walnuts taste best when served warm, so you should not let them cool to room temperature. They will be hot after you finish toasting them, though, and handling them immediately can lead to burns. Wait until the nuts have cooled just enough to comfortably hold in your hand. " The shell should have begun peeling up slightly at the "x" mark as the walnuts toasted. Use your fingers to grip the corners and forcefully peel the softened shell off. The shell may still pose some problem, but it can usually be worked off with only your fingers. If the shell is still too hard to peel away, gently crack it using a nutcracker as though the nut were still raw. Apply pressure carefully, though, since toasted walnuts tend to be a little softer than raw walnuts and will break apart more easily. You can either use a clean dish towel or paper towel. Rub the towel over the nuts using small yet rapid strokes to remove the bitter skins. You can also store the toasted nuts in the refrigerator or freezer if necessary, but most people prefer the taste of warm toasted walnuts over cold walnuts.

Tobacco contains many, many chemicals, the most addictive of which is nicotine. Nicotine has been shown to be as addictive a drug as heroin or cocaine. Low levels of nicotine consumption create a slightly euphoric feeling due to the release of dopamine and the minor adrenaline rush that accompanies the act of smoking. Nicotine also increases the resting heart rate, lowers skin temperatures, and reduces blood flow in the body's extremities.  Smoking is known to cause cancer, as well as strokes, coronary heart disease, blood clots, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It has also been shown to harm virtually every organ in the body.  Smoking is highly addictive. Many people recognize the harmful effects smoking causes on the body, but are incapable of quitting. Many self-avowed social smokers claim that they are not addicted, and can quit any time they want. However, on a chemical level, even social smokers' brains become sensitized to nicotine. Brain scans have shown an increase in the development and density of dendrites in the parts of the brain associated with addiction. Studies have shown that even beginner smokers experience a drastic reduction in the number of days they can go through without experiencing cravings, which suggests that even casual/social smoking is often the beginning of full-fledged addiction. If you still consider yourself a social/casual smoker without any real risk of addiction, you may already be addicted. Psychologists and medical professionals have compiled a checklist that addresses smoking habits which may be useful in assessing your own smoking habits. Any "yes" answers to any of the following questions suggests to medical professionals that addiction has already started:  Have you ever tried to quit but could not?  Do you find yourself smoking because it is difficult to quit?  Do you now or have you ever felt like you were addicted to tobacco/nicotine?  Do you ever experience strong, irresistible cravings to smoke?  Have you ever felt that you desperately needed a...

Tobacco dries your mouth out and can raise the temperature of your mouth—both of these things contribute to bad breath by allowing bacteria to flourish. Smoking also increases the risk of gum decay, and a mouth with unhealthy gums is a mouth more prone to bad breath! Alcohol dries out the mucous membranes, so if you’re going to consume it, especially in the evening, you should try to drink one glass of water in between every alcoholic beverage—this way, you’re keeping your mouth moist. Bacteria flourish in dry, stagnate environments, so drinking lots of water and other fluids throughout the day helps to stave off odors in your mouth the next morning.  It is especially important to drink water right before going to bed, as the mouth dries out a lot over the course of the night when we’re sleeping and not consuming any food or fluids for many hours. Aim for eight 8 oz. glasses of water a day.[citation needed] If you aren't able to drink that much, supplement with milk or 100% fruit juice as necessary.[citation needed]  Owing to their high water content, fruits and vegetables offer another great source of hydration, in addition to water. Beyond this, the high fiber content of vegetables helps flush your body of toxins that may contribute to morning breath. Xylitol, the sweetener used in a lot of sugar-free gum products (and mints), can decrease bacteria that causes decay and bad breath.[citation needed] And flavored gum with Xylitol will not only help to eliminate bacteria that causes odor—it will also give your breath a scent of your choosing. Chewing gum twenty minutes after you eat might help to stimulate saliva flow. Some medications, such as insulin, can cause bad breath on their own, while others, like antihistamines, cause your mouth to dry out overnight, and lead to morning breath that way. If you have concerns about any over-the-counter or prescription drugs you’re taking, talk to your doctor. Take rubbing alcohol put it in a cup, then mix it with water and drink it. Swish it around in your mouth like...

Tobacco is an extremely hardy plant. It grows pretty much where any other agricultural crop will grow, although, as a rule of thumb, tobacco grows better in soils which drain well. The important thing to note is that tobacco will be extremely affected by the soil in which it is grown; lighter soils will generally produce lighter colored tobacco, while darker soils will generally produce darker colored tobacco. Tobacco requires a frost-free period of 3 to 4 months between transplant and harvest. For best results, tobacco should be ripened without heavy rainfall; excess water causes tobacco plants to become thin and flaky. The ideal temperature for growing tobacco is 68° to 86° F (20° to 30° C).

Today, you will usually be given a disc with your images on it after your MRI. The main purpose of this is so that you can give the disc to your doctor, but there's nothing wrong with reading your MRI at home. Start by putting the disc into your computer's DVD drive.  Note: Some MRI centers may have different policies for giving patients copies of their MRI. For instance, instead of a disc, you may be given a USB drive. It's even possible to host and send MRI files online. The important thing in any case is to get the MRI files onto your computer. If you're lucky, the program will automatically load when you put the disc into your computer. In this case, simply follow the instructions on screen to install and access the program. Usually, you'll want to use the default option (or "Yes," "OK," etc.) or every prompt you are given. However, MRI viewing software is notoriously unreliable — it's something that even doctors have a hard time with. You may need to take extra action (see below). If the software doesn't load automatically, most MRI discs will come with some way to install it on the disc. In general, you'll need to open the disc to explore the files, find this installation program, and run it. The exact steps you need to take will vary depending on how your MRI center has packaged your images on the disc. If you're not having any luck or you can't find an included installer program, try downloading a free MRI viewer from the internet. This site has many links to programs that can view medical images in the standard DICOM format. Again, the exact steps you'll need to take here can vary slightly depending on the exact program you have packaged with your images. Generally, most MRI viewers will have some sort of option to load or import images that you can select from the menu bar at the top of the screen. In this case, select this option, then pick the image file on your disc that you'd like to look at.  Note that most medical imaging software refers to collections of images as "studies". You may not see...

Toilet training is not for everyone. If you and your cat do not have the right mentality, you might be better off sticking to the litter box.  If your cat is very young, less than six months old, or already has issues using a litter box, toilet training might not be the best option. Cats who are older and are already comfortable with their litter box are easiest to toilet train.  If your cat is skittish, he might struggle with litter box training. Shyer cats generally prefer to cover their feces and urine to protect themselves from potential predators.  Toilet training takes time, organization, and dedication. If you're not generally a well organized person or if you're very busy, you might be better off sticking with litter. Many vets advise against toilet training cats. Familiarize yourself with the criticisms of toilet training so you can make a well informed decision about whether it's right for you and your pet.  First off, toilet training goes against a cat's natural instincts. Cats have a natural tendency to dig and bury when eliminating. Using the toilet, even after proper training, can cause stress for a cat. You do not want using the bathroom to be a stressful event as it can lead to behavioral and health issues for your cat.  The toilet lid must always be left open. If you or a house guest accidentally closes the toilet lid, your cat will eliminate elsewhere.  Older cats or cats with joint problems will have trouble reaching the toilet and maintaining balance on the rim. There is a risk for injury with toilet training, especially for senior cats. Toilet training, even when done properly, frequently causes setbacks. If your cat is resistant to a step in the process, he might begin eliminating elsewhere. If this occurs, take a step back in toilet training and see if this helps. It's a good idea to have a lot of cleaning supplies on hand when toilet training. In all likelihood, there will be at least one accident along the way.

Tongue twisters are a great way to improve your speech clarity as mastering them will allow you learn how to keep your voice clear and speak with confidence. Many actors and public speakers will practice tongue twisters before going on stage to warm their voices up.  Start off slowly and gradually build up until you can say them at a normal conversational speed. When speaking them, exaggerate the words, making your tongue, jaw, and lips work hard. As you become surer of them, begin to project your voice and exaggerate the words more. This helps you gain skill and strengthens the muscles in your mouth for speech.  Try some of these tongue twisters to improve your speech clarity:  You know New York, you need New York, you know you need unique New York. (Repeat). Red leather, yellow leather. (Repeat). While we were walking, we were watching window washers wash Washington's windows with warm washing water. If you're reading a book or even just the news in the morning, practice reading it out loud. Doing this will help you become more familiar with how you sound when you speak. Oftentimes when we are talking to people we aren't really listening to ourselves and how we sound. By reading something out loud in the comfort of your own home you can begin to listen to yourself and pay attention to areas where you may not speak clearly. You can also record yourself talking and then play it back while taking note of where you may mumble or not speak clearly. Many actors and voice actors do this exercise to increase clarity and diction, especially when it comes to something like Shakespeare.By putting a cork between your teeth and speaking aloud you train your mouth to work extra hard to really pronounce every syllable, and the cork will also prevent your tongue from tripping you up on certain words.  This exercise can tire your jaw, which will help you learn to relax it, but you shouldn't do this for too long so you don't get sore. You may also want to have a napkin with you as you produce a lot of saliva with this...

Too much sugar in your diet can contribute to acne. For clearer skin, stop eating foods high in added sugars, such as candy, baked goods, and soda.  Other foods with a high glycemic index, like white bread and white rice, should also be avoided. Try sugar-free substitutes instead or eat naturally sweet foods, like fruit.

Topical creams and lotions that contain camphor, menthol, phenol, pramoxine, and benzocaine—all of which numb nerve endings to reduce the sensation of itchiness and the likelihood of scratching at irritated skin—can be applied directly to itchy skin. Covering itchy skin in cool, wet bandages, dressings, and towels can help protect your skin from further irritation and provide temporary relief from the discomfort of itching. Baking soda is a natural acid neutralizer that reduces itchiness by restoring your skin’s natural pH balance. Add 1 part water to 3 parts baking soda to make a soothing paste that you can apply directly to itchy skin. While hot water can actually dry out your skin, potentially making it even itchier, lukewarm or cool water can help relieve itching. When taking cool baths here are some things to keep in mind:  Avoid perfumed bath oils, powders, or bubbles since they can alter the pH levels of your skin and possibly become irritating. As with a baking soda paste, adding 1 cup of baking soda to a bathtub full of water can provide relief to itchy skin by balancing the skin’s pH levels. You can add 1 to 2 cups of finely ground oatmeal, also called colloidal oatmeal, to your bath to treat irritated and itchy skin. Oatmeal reduces itchiness by balancing out your skin’s pH levels, drawing heat away from the top layer of skin, and sealing in the skin’s natural oils. Be sure the oatmeal is finely ground and that the water isn’t too hot, otherwise the oatmeal will thicken and be difficult to clean from the tub. Lemons contain natural substances that can numb sensations and reduce inflammation. Simply cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice directly onto your itchy skin. Due to its natural antiseptic and antifungal properties, apple cider vinegar can be a good remedy for itchiness.

Touch his elbow, hold hands, brush his hair out of his face or gently put a hand on his knee. Tearing down this barrier will help the both of you get past some of the hang-ups that you may have about physical contact. Once you've broken the touch barrier keep on breaking it. When you laugh, place your hand on his arm. When you walk, grab his hand and hold it. Hopefully he will meet you halfway and begin grabbing your hand too. up with him. Cuddling lets him know that you like physical contact, and that you are really comfortable with him. It is one of the biggest clues you can give him--and cuddling often leads to kissing. While you are cuddling, lean your head against his shoulder. Entwine your fingers with his and lean back contentedly. All of these physical clues will tell your guy, “I love being close to you, now kiss me you silly boy!” Getting your guy’s full attention on your lips will make the idea of kissing you unavoidable. Do everything you can to keep his attention on your lips. A classic approach is to bite your lip gently while looking at him.  Apply lip balm to your lips (and let him watch you do it.) Just keep in mind that lip gloss can be sticky, and thus make your kiss sticky. Use a lip balm or chapstick if you want to avoid a sticky situation. Run an ice cube over your lips if it's hot out. Not only will this look seductive, it will also give your lips a shiny look similar to balm. Lick your lips as if you’re eating something juicy. If you are eating watermelon, ice cream, or something that is drip prone, let a little get on your lips and then slowly lick it off. Just be careful to avoid looking like a slob when trying this--you are going for temptress, not ‘girl in serious need of a napkin.’ Eye contact is a big part of clueing your guy in on the fact that you want to be kissed. Look him in the eyes and smile gently. Smile with your eyes. Glance from his eyes to his lips a couple times, perhaps adding a flirtatious batting of your eyelashes.

Tough girls choose their words wisely, and speak only when necessary. By not talking, they come off as mysterious. People tend to fear mysterious. How to communicate without talking? Respond with body language, like a turn of your head or a grunt. Assertiveness is the essence of toughness. If you want people to take you seriously, and if you want to appear tough, then you must learn how to be assertive.  There are two ways to be assertive – through your body language and by what you say. To show your assertiveness towards someone: face them directly, keeping your back straight, and look them straight in the eye. Remain calm, but firm when you speak. Make sure whatever you say is direct and honest. State your point of view without being hesitant and without being apologetic. To sound tough, start off by saying to someone "Listen...” Speak strongly and get right to the point. And then at the end say "You understand me?" and wait for their response. When things need to get handled, tough girls step in. You must be willing to take control of a situation.  If you’re with a group of friends, move to the front of the pack, so people know you’re the leader and the one they’ll have to deal with. If you and your friends are getting picked on or treated unfairly, speak up. Stand your ground by standing in their way or getting in their personal space. You can do this without expecting things to suddenly get physical. At about a foot and a half from someone you’re considered to be in their personal space. Once you get close, speak firmly. Physical activity is a great way toughen up physically and mentally. You’re not only strengthening your body, you’re also developing the discipline you need to handle difficult situations.  Lift weights to tone your body and build muscle mass. Join a self-defense class like kickboxing or martial arts. While you’ll not only learn how to better protect yourself, you may also gain a new group of tough-girl friends. Participate in a contact sport, like flag football, roller derby, or soccer....

Trace around your palm, wrist, and arm on a sheet of paper. Start tracing at the top of your knuckles, and finish anywhere you want on the arm. Lift away your arm. Connect the gap at the top of your tracing with a straight line. Connect the gap where your thumb is with a curved line.  Make sure that the thumb line curves into the tracing. Leave some space around your arm, especially if the fabric you'll be using is not stretchy. Be sure to leave a ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) gap allowance all around the pattern. This will give you enough fabric for a ¼ to ½-inch (0.64 to 1.27-centimeter) seam allowance. Stack two layers of fabric, right sides together, then pin the pattern on top. Trace around the pattern. Flip the pattern over, re-pin it, and trace around it for the other glove. You can use any type of fabric you want. Fleece and t-shirt material are great choices because they don't fray. Try to cut through both layers of fabric for each glove. This way, your pieces will be even. You do not need to add seam allowances because you already added them for your original pattern. Pin the pieces together first. Sew up the left and right sides using a ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) seam allowance. If your fabric is stretchy, or if you want tighter gloves, sew using a ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) seam allowance instead. Do not sew across the top or bottom edges or the thumb hole. If you are sewing fleece or t-shirt material, use a stretchy stitch or a zigzag stitch. Fold both of the top and bottom edges down by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Pin them in place, then sew the hems down. You can use a matching thread color or a contrasting thread color. If you are using fleece or t-shirt fabric, you can skip this step. If you choose to hem them, use a stretch stitch or a zigzag stitch. Fold the edges of the thumb hole down by about ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter). Sew it down by hand using a running stitch.

Track your progress by timing yourself daily, or each time you try these exercises. Trying to beat your best speed can provide great motivation. Here's how to time your reading in words per minute (wpm):  Count the number of words on a page, or count the number in one line and multiply by the number of lines on the page. Set a timer for ten minutes and see how much you can read in that time. Multiply the number of pages you read by the number of words per page. Divide by ten to get your words per minute. You can use an online "speed reading test," but you will probably read at a different pace on a screen than on a printed page. Your reading speed should improve if you repeat one or more of these exercises daily. Many people can double their reading speed after several weeks. Set yourself milestones to motivate yourself to keep practicing:  200–250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone age 12 or older. 300 wpm is the reading speed of the average college student. At 450 wpm, you're reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points. Ideally, you can do this with almost total comprehension. At 600–700 wpm, you're reading as fast as a college student scanning to find a word. Most people can learn to read at this speed with about 75% of their normal comprehension.  At 1,000 wpm and above, you're reaching the level of competitive speed readers. This usually requires extreme techniques that skip over most of the text. Most people can't remember much at this speed.

Trader Joe's and Costco offer free food samples, while Sam's Club and Walmart offer samples of a variety of products. At these locations, the free samples are typically set on their own tables, and a staff member will be standing there to offer them to you. If none of the chains above are nearby or have what you're interested in, your best bet at finding "official" free samples is an area where many different stalls are trying to compete for customers. Try a local fair or farmer's market. If none of these are happening soon, spend some time at a mall. Look on the website or bulletin board for community centers and other buildings that are often rented out for events. If you're lucky, there might be an upcoming event where caterers, florists, and other vendors display samples for people planning upcoming events. If there are no free samples officially offered, you can still ask for one. You'll be most successful if you start a conversation with the salesperson first, perhaps by asking how his shift is going or whether he likes working in this store. Stay friendly and smile, and ask for a sample if he smiles back and seems to enjoy the conversation.  Don't try this if there are people waiting in line behind you. If he says no, accept it and move on. Spend some time looking at a product before asking for a free sample, or asking questions about it. If you look interested, the salesperson may offer you a free sample to help you make up your mind. If you stick around for the free sample, then leave immediately, you'll probably irritate the salesperson. This could affect the quality of service you get if you visit the store again. Many restaurants, and some other locations, will give you free bonuses on your birthday. Usually, you'll have to be a paying customer already, but you can get plenty of value and enjoyment out of the free dessert, free drink, or other bonus.

Traditional LCD TVs use CCFL lighting to show the pixels on the screen. LED TVs use LEDs to light up the LCD display. So in essence, they are the same type of TV with different lighting configurations. LED TVs typically provide better color and picture quality than CCFL LCDs, and are also much more efficient. LCDs, on the other hand, are typically the cheapest TVs available. An edge-lit LED is thinner and cheaper than a backlit, but since the lighting only comes from the edges, it can lead to a slightly washed-out picture. Backlit LEDs are slightly thicker and more expensive, but will give a much more uniform and clearer picture quality. Plasma TVs in general are not being produced anymore, with the exception of LG and Samsung. This means you will likely see few or no plasma models on the showroom floor of your local electronics store. Many people still consider plasmas superior, as they provide better picture quality and look the best in dark rooms. They are also viewable from the most angles. They are often heavier and more power-hungry than the other models, and suffer from the worst glare in bright rooms. 3D TVs were a big thing a few years ago, but support is starting to fade. Networks that embraced 3D such as ESPN have started to drop support, and 3D has become less of a selling point for home movies. You can still find plenty of 3D TVs, and if you're a fan, the lower prices mean now is the best time to buy.

Traditional dimo is made from a thin internal membrane from bamboo. Other useable materials are garlic skin, rice paper, cigarette paper, or other very thin papers. Dimo paper is available from online music supply stores. You can use clear tape as an alternative material, but this won’t produce the best sound. These include small, sharp scissors, water, Erjiao (a traditional Chinese flute glue) or other water-soluble adhesive, the dimo membrane, and the dizi body. Erjiao can be purchased from online music supply stores. Water-soluble glue, such as the glue specifically intended for adhering the dimo, is preferred, since you may need to adjust the placement of the dimo from time to time. If you use an adhesive that hardens, it will crack when you try to move the dimo, thereby ruining the membrane. The dimo will be placed on the second hole from the top of the dizi (this hole is called the mokong). Place the dimo paper over this hole and add at least 0.5 centimeter (0.2 in) on all sides of the hole. Cut the membrane to these specifications. Dip your finger in some water and rub glue on your finger. Apply this glue around the hole where you will place the dimo. Swab any residual glue away from the hole itself and the very edge of the hole. Glue on the membrane over the hole will disrupt the vibration of the membrane. Another option is to use garlic juice to produce a sticky, water-soluble adhesive. Peel one garlic clove and gently rub the freshly cut garlic across the membrane hole. This will leave some adhesive material. Line up the dimo so it is even on all sides. Pinch the flute on either side of the hole with your fingers touching the dimo. Move your fingers up and down a few times gently to create lateral wrinkles in the dimo. The wrinkles should be evenly spaced on the dimo. If the dimo is completely smooth, the dizi will sound dull.

Traditional movie dates can be fun, but they don't allow you to interact with one another. Going to the movies is appropriate for a casual date – but the perfect date should be a bit more creative. The best dates allow people to really get to know each other and spend time with one another, so choose activities that will allow you and your date to communicate.  Choosing the movies for a date isn't a bad idea, it's just not the perfect idea. Putting some creativity into your plans will show your date that you've made an effort to show them a great time. Movies can be fun if you go to a local film festival, or go see a cult classic at a local theater. If you're totally set on going to the movies, make it an interesting experience. Instead of going to a regular restaurant, make your dinner experience fun. It's easy for people to bond over food, so make an adventure out of your dining experience to make it even more memorable.  Take a cooking class together. Cooking together can be fun and delicious, so look up local cooking classes in your neighborhood. Go on a mini-tour of restaurants and eat a different course at each one. This is a great way to turn dinner into a fun date night adventure. Start with appetizers at one restaurant, get dinner at another, and end the night at an amazing dessert shop. Try out food trucks in your neighborhood. Instead of the traditional restaurant experience, check out the local food trucks in your city. This is a fun way to learn more about your neighborhoods and communities while eating delicious food. If your date is up for a little fun, try a fun new experience together. There are tons of activities to try, so why not try these new activities together? Sharing new experiences creates amazing memories and conversation, and a perfect date is a date that is never forgotten.  Go bungee jumping, try rock-climbing, or hit the water for some kayaking. These are super adventurous dates that will never be forgotten. If your date is up for a fun time that's not too extreme, try mini golf...

Traditional shooting uses longbows and recurve bows, but these bows use little modern technology. Most would learn to shoot a modern bow on a range before moving onto a more traditional bow. Many will try to buy the most natural bow they can find.  Others, will look to buy a bow similar to what their ancestors used to shoot.

Traditionally, bottles were placed over the dead branches of a tree; however, your landscaping will determine if this is possible, or if you need to make a metal tree. Garden bottle trees that hold between 10 and 30 bottles are available on Amazon and eBay for $20 to $100. If you want a statement piece, then investing in an elaborate design will make sense. If you don’t want to spend upwards of $500, opt to make it yourself. Dig a hole in your yard and pour a concrete base. Insert the post into the ground and allow it to dry.  Screw holes around each side of the tree intermittently. Use a drill at a downward angle, ensuring you extend each hole at least three inches (7.5cm) inward. Insert metal rods of six inches to one and a half feet (0.2 to 0.5m). You can purchase metal reinforcing rods at a home or hardware store. Make sure each of these rods is secure before continuing to the next one. Recently, this has become a very popular choice because of its durability in all climates. Purchase 10 to 20 lengths of rebar from a construction recycling yard, a steel business or a large hardware store. The rebar should be 3/8-inch to ½-inch (1 to 1.3cm) rebar. They can be at different lengths to mimic branches.  Purchase a metal collar in which you can encircle your rebar branches or plan to weld the rebar together. Rent a conduit bender if you want to bend the rebar dramatically. Drive stakes into the holes where the rebar will go. Then, drive the rebar into the ground with a stake hammer. Weld your rebar together if you want to. Check that it is sturdy before decorating it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поищите мертвые или засыхающие деревья на вашей территории. Купите каркас для дерева из бутылок, если у вас нет времени, чтобы сделать его. Можно купить каркас для дерева из бутылок у местного кузнеца. Сделайте бутылочное дерево из квадратных или круглых столбов для забора. Сделайте бутылочное дерево из арматуры.


Traditionally, having faith refers to faith in God or some religious principle. If you do not believe in God, however, you can still exercise the principle of faith by being faithful in your pursuit of virtue.  A biblical example of a virtuous woman is Ruth, who chose to follow the God of Israel in spite of the difficulty it brought her, when it would have been easier for her to return to Moab and worship the gods of her childhood. This story can teach a valuable lesson even if you do not practice faith in Judeo-Christian contexts. Ruth had committed herself to faith in the God of Israel and was ready to face the consequences, even though backing down would have been easier. You, too, should commit yourself to your faith—in God, or in the goodness of virtue—and remain faithful in spite of the challenges. Another way to phrase this would be to respect your body. Treat your body as a treasure and do not give it away to just anyone.  Traditionally, keeping your body pure means waiting until marriage before having sex. Nearly every major religion will agree on this point. Even if you have no religion to claim, the principle of purity still applies to you. Sex should be treated as something special that should only be cherished between two people in love. Instead of stubbornly sticking to your own opinions regardless of whether they are right or wrong, you should be open to critique and advice. Weigh outside influence carefully to determine if it is beneficial or harmful and act accordingly. Women tend to be very emotional beings, and the downside of emotion is that it can often blind or cripple reason. A virtuous woman accepts her emotions but uses reason to temper her reactions. Govern yourself by wisdom rather than by folly. This is a biblical principle taken from the Book of Proverbs, but it can be applied to your life even if you are not a Christian. You can listen to your heart for guidance, but ultimately, you must judge a situation with your mind, using the wisdom you have built up throughout your life to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Имейте веру. Сохраняйте целомудрие своего тела. Будьте восприимчивы. Культивируйте разумность.


Training is a life-long process and something that should be ongoing no matter what the age of your dog. However, if you have rescued an adult dog, or realised your dog has got into bad habits, then you need to know the best way to go about training an adult dog. A good start is to get the dog checked out by your veterinarian. This allows you to be aware of any limitations the dog has, and also if they are health issues that could explain problems with obedience.  For example if the dog refuses to sit, it might be the she or he has painful hips, which can make sitting difficult to do. The answer is then to start pain-relieving medication and to consider an alternative command such as "stand." In addition, if the adult dog seems wilfully disobedient, it can then be salient to learn that they are deaf, and therefore not hearing your commands. Knowing this can then let you change to hand signals, instead of verbal commands, for the dog to respond to. For example, if the dog is aggressive with strange dogs, is that as a result of fear or guarding territory? Knowing the trigger can help you retrain more effectively, by building his self-confidence around other dogs or removing toys that he is territorial about.  If he keeps running away, but he's an unneutered male, then getting him desexed can really help. Work out what areas of your dog's training are weak so you can target those areas. Does he have a specific bad habit that needs to  be addressed, or could his training just use some general sharpening up? If his responses are excellent, then look at teaching him some tricks. Training is an excellent way to bond with your dog and help him to understand you are in charge. In fact, training a grieving dog can help distract them and ease their grief, as they enjoy the one-to-one time with their owner and it helps feel secure that you are in charge.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помните, что вы обучаете взрослую собаку, которая уже многое пережила. Учтите состояние здоровья собаки. Разберитесь в том, почему ваша собака так себя ведет, и найдите к ней подход.


Traits are the parts of you that don’t usually change much over time. They are characteristics about you that may be positive, while others might be a bit more negative. Your personality is the sum of all these traits and characteristics and is what makes you a unique person. Listing your traits can help you define your personality.  For example, you might write that you are sensitive, caring, stubborn, determined, ambitious, hard-working, and dependable. Use words that describe how you think, behave, and feel in general.  For instance, you could include: calm, a night owl, sociable, a good planner, or helpful on your list. Look at lists of personality traits online that others have used to define themselves. See which ones are applicable to you, then add words of your own. Include words that family and friends frequently use to describe you. For example, if they are always telling you that you’re comical, put it on the list. You may even ask family and friends to help you find descriptive words for yourself. Some studies suggest that your personality influences how you approach situations and your outlook on life. Other research suggests that personality traits influence behavior. So, look at your attitude and actions to understand how to define your personality.  Consider your attitude towards change. Write about a major change in your life. For example, you may write that you felt nervous and worried when you moved. Think about how you handle challenges and obstacles. Then consider how likely you are to take risks, and how you respond to failure or set-backs. Write down the personality traits that come to mind. For example, think about how you react when someone is rude to you. You might write, “I calmly tell them to stop and try to figure out what’s wrong.” Think about the things you do. Would you describe them as individual activities or social? For example, gardening, reading, and painting are individual activities. Social activities are things like team sports and participating in clubs and...

Transfer the barley to 1 or more clean baking sheets. Use your hand to spread out the grains. The grains can be touching, but make sure they're not piled on top of each other. For large batches of barley, you'll need to use multiple baking sheets. Open up a large plastic garbage bag and lay it down flat. Insert a baking sheet filled with barley inside the bag, and fold the opening of the bag under the baking sheet. The plastic will keep the barley moist as it germinates. Repeat with the other baking sheets. The ideal temperature for germination is 64 °F (18 °C). Good places for germination include well-ventilated root cellars, garages, and basements. Barley that gets too hot or wet will be susceptible to mold growth. Barley that’s too cold or dry won’t germinate properly. The barley will produce heat as it germinates, so you must keep it cool and moist. Remove the baking sheets from the bags and mist the barley with cool water. Turn each grain over by hand as you mist. Return the baking sheet to the garbage bag and refold the opening of the bag under the baking sheet.  Repeat the misting and flipping 3 to 6 times a day.  If the barley is being germinated somewhere warm or dry, you may have to mist 6 times a day to keep it cool. However, if the barley is somewhere cool or damp, you may only have to mist 3 times a day. Each time you mist and flip the barley, take a few grains and inspect the acrospires for growth. Flip the grain to the smooth side and use a knife to cut open the husk lengthwise. Look for the sprout at the bottom growing upward (away from the roots). The germination process is complete when the acrospires are about as long as the barley grain itself.  The full germination period typically takes 2 to 5 days.  The acrospire is the first sprout that appears during the germination process. Don’t confuse the acrospire with the roots, which are visible and growing out of the bottom of the barley grain. Return the grains you tested to the baking sheet with the other barley.

Разложите зерна одним слоем на противнях. Поместите противни в пластиковые пакеты. Держите ячмень в прохладном хорошо проветриваемом месте. Раз в 4–8 часов опрыскивайте и переворачивайте зерна. Следите за размерами проростков.


Transfer the cooked squid rings and tentacles to your prepared jar. The jar should be anywhere from halfway to three-quarters full. Do not pack the jar to the very top, however, since there will not be enough room for the spices and liquid if you do so.    Place the remaining three bay leaves, black peppercorns, garlic, and oregano or rosemary in the jar. Pour the white vinegar on top.  While not strictly essential, you may want to toss the spices and squid gently inside the jar to spread the seasonings more evenly.     Pour enough vinegar over the contents of the jar to cover the squid completely. Make sure that there is at least 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.75 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar when finished, however.     White vinegar is used in this recipe, but you can experiment some with the pickling liquid. For instance, try white wine or white wine vinegar. The liquid you use must be acidic, though, so keep that in mind before you choose to experiment with another option.    Slowly pour the oil on top of the contents in the jar. You should have a layer of oil that is roughly 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.  The oil should float on top of the vinegar. It serves as another barrier against air and other contaminants.     Do not fill the jar to its brim. Always leave at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar, just in case the contents expand during refrigeration.     After adding the oil, place the lid on the jar. Make sure that the seal on the lid is secure and airtight.    Place the sealed jar in your refrigerator and keep it there for a minimum of one day. For best results, allow the jar to sit in the refrigerator for a full week.  During this time, the pickling spices will marinate and flavor the calamari. The vinegar and remaining salt will be able to pickle the squid during this time, as well.     The longer you let the calamari rest, the stronger the flavor will be.    To serve the pickled calamari, remove it from the marinade and serve it immediately. Pickled...

Translucent setting powder is a clear powder that locks in foundation and soaks up any excess oil that your skin produces. Apply a thin layer of setting powder all over your face with a large fluffy makeup brush. Make sure to blend in the areas around your eyes and mouth to avoid any cakey buildup. Choose a loose powder instead of pressed powder for a lighter coverage.

Travel to the location of your choosing may be expensive. Determine the costs of taking a plane, train, coach bus, rental car, or cruise ship to your selected location. Air travel is the quickest option but may be costlier than train, bus, or car rental if the distance isn’t too great. You should also keep in mind the environmental impacts of each method of transportation. A cruise ship affords the greatest luxury and will often include a number of stops but is also the costliest option. You can compare plane ticket costs with Google Flights, SkyScanner.com, Expedia, FareCompare.com, or Kayak. Always research price comparisons before making your purchase. Once you reach your destination, you’ll need further transportation to get around locally. Many people take taxi cabs, ride-sharing cars, local transit buses, or the subway to get around locally. If you have some extra money, you can travel more easily by renting a car at your location.  Use your preferred search engine to research public transit at your destination. Not all cities will have all of the options mentioned above. You can compare rental car prices SkyScanner.com, Expedia, or Kayak as well. Always research price comparisons before making your reservation. If you are renting a car, you should also consider what rental agencies are close to your airport or hotel. One of the more significant items you’ll need to budget for is your lodging cost. Lodgings vary greatly in cost and quality so be sure to consider your exact needs and what’s available at your destination. If your destination hosts many tourists, there will likely be a wide variety of hotels, motels, resorts, and bed-and-breakfasts.  Pick a hotel that is located near the attractions you’re seeking. This will prove convenient and save you in local travel costs. Consider amenities like televisions in the rooms, internet access, and access to a swimming pool. You should also consider the quality and size of available beds and bathrooms, the availability of air conditioning, and whether or not...

Treat them like any other kitchen utensil. Every time you use the scissors, bacteria gets on the blades, which is transferred to the next food you cut. At the very least, they need to be washed after working with raw meat. To stay safe, wash the scissors off every time you use them. After cutting meat, make sure you wash the scissors before using them on any other food. Look where the blades meet each other. If they are fastened together with a screw, don’t try to separate the blades. Other shears can be pulled apart. They may slide off each other or have an unlocking knob in the handle. Consult the owner’s manual for exact details on how to separate the blades. If you can’t separate the blades, you can still wash them. Separating them only makes cleaning easier. The scissors need to be washed like any other kitchen utensil. Use your normal dish detergent along with hot water. Make sure the soap reaches the spots where the blades cross or meet the handles. A lot of bacteria can grow there, especially if your scissors don’t come apart. Some kitchen scissors are designed to be washed in the dishwasher. Check the packaging or instructions to make sure this is okay. Get a clean cloth and wipe down the blades. Remove all the water, including in those hard-to-reach areas like near the handles. Water rusts metal, and it’s a shame to see a costly, quality pair of scissors turn brown and fragile. Even if you wash the scissors in the dishwasher, it’s a good idea to dry them by hand to avoid rusting. Lay them on a drying rack, if you have one. You can also lay a paper towel or piece of newspaper on your counter. Spread the scissor blades out on the surface you chose. Leave the scissors there for a few minutes so any remaining moisture dries. Contact with other metal dulls the blades, so don’t throw them in your utensil drawer. A knife block is a perfect place to store the scissors. If they don’t fit in the block, keep them in a separate drawer away from the other utensils.

TL;DR in Russian:

Trichotillomania is officially classified as an impulse control disorder, along the lines of pyromania, kleptomania, and pathological gambling. If you suffer from trichotillomania, you may act or react in certain ways when hair-pulling. These might include:  Chewing or eating pulled-out hair. Rubbing pulled-out hair across your lips or face. An increasing sense of tension immediately before pulling out the hair or when resisting the behavior. Pleasure, gratification, or relief when pulling out the hair. Catching yourself pulling hair without even noticing (this is called “automatic” or unintentional hair-pulling). Knowing that you’re pulling hair deliberately (this is called “focused” hair-pulling).  Using tweezers or other tools to pull out hair. There are some tell-tale signs that a person may be suffering from trichotillomania. These include:  Noticeable hair loss caused by recurrent pulling out of the hair. Patchy bald areas on the scalp or other areas of the body. Sparse or missing eyelashes or eyebrows. Infected hair follicles. Some hair pullers may find that they nail bite, thumb suck, head bang, and compulsively scratch or pick at their skin. Keep track of these types of behaviors over several days to see if they are habitual. Notice when you’re doing them and how often you’re doing them. Determine if trichotillomania is the only disorder that's affecting you. Compulsive hair pullers may suffer from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tourette's disorder, bipolar disorder, phobias, personality disorders, and in some cases, exhibit suicidal tendencies.  Visiting your doctor or mental health professional can be helpful in determining whether you have other disorders.  However, it is complicated to say which disorder is causing which. Is the loss of hair causing the depression through the desire to isolate yourself from others and avoiding enjoyable activities because you feel deep shame?   Often, successful recovery from Trichotillomania requires treatment for any co-existing disorders as well....

Trimming your hair can get rid of breakage immediately. Have a professional stylist cut your hair to remove all of the damaged ends. If you blow dry your hair regularly and spend a lot of time in the sun, your hair should be trimmed every eight weeks.  Trimming is especially important if you have split ends. The split will continue to travel up your hair shaft and your hair will break off on its own. If you trim your ends yourself, only use hair shears. Twist your hair into one inch sections around your index finger, and cut off any of the ends that pop up. Antioxidants can correct hair damage caused by the sun and chemical treatments.  Products containing rice extract and artichoke extract can make your hair shinier and smoother and repair your hair cuticle. Products containing Vitamin E (panthenol) increase the water content of your hair and make it more elastic. Improved elasticity keeps your hair from breaking when it is being manipulated. These ingredients can be found in shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums. Plant based biopolymers help your hair maintain moisture and fill the outer layer of your hair shaft that is broken. Look for products that contain carob tree extract, Cystoseira compressed seaweed extract, and Lepidium meyenii extract.  Out of these three ingredients, carob tree extract works best for smoothing the hair cuticle.  Botanical extracts are particularly effective if your hair breakage is due to chemical treatments. These ingredients can be found in shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums. Put coconut oil on your hair every day as a pre-wash treatment.  Coconut oil will coat your hair and protect your hair from losing protein when you wash it.  This will strengthen your hair and improve its appearance. The quality of your hair will improve with long-term use of coconut oil.  If you wash your hair in the morning, you can apply coconut oil before you go to bed and wash it out in the morning. If you wash your hair at night, apply the oil as a post wash treatment so it can penetrate your...

Trimming your tree during the winter months allows it to care for its wounds in spring when it will recover more quickly.  Limit trimming only to dead or broken branches on newly planted trees. Two to three years after planting you can begin developmental trimming to shape the tree. Learn the growth habits of your particular type of oak tree Before trimming, you’ll need to soak your clippers and saw blade with 9 parts water and 1 part bleach. Then rinse the tools off and let them air dry. To create a healthy oak tree that create beautiful shade, you need to develop one dominant branch on the tree. Look at your tree and notice the largest branches. There maybe 2 or even 3 branches that are all large and a similar size to each other. As the tree grows, these will turn into multiple leaders and create a weaker tree.  Decide which branch looks like it is the most vertical and centered on the trunk  and choose that one to be the dominant leader.  Trim the other branches that may turn into other leaders by reducing their size to allow more sunlight to reach the dominant leader you chose. Keep the dominant leader long. The branch collar is the swelling at the base of the branch where it begins to connect to the trunk. Trimming branches down to the branch collar will hurt the main trunk of the tree causing it damage to important tissues necessary for growth.  Shorten large branches by cutting them back to a lateral branch or bud. Always make angled cuts to encourage growth Never remove more that one third of the tree’s canopy in a single season. The tree depends on a healthy crown to create food from the sunlight and grow healthy roots in the ground. This is especially important when the tree is young. You need to prune young trees yearly to keep them growing healthily. Make sure the dominant leader is always the largest branch and trim back any large splits. Trim the branches that will prevent your tree from growing how you want it to:  Dead, diseased, or broken branches Branches that cross over or rub other...
