Cherries need plenty of sun and good air circulation. They prefer fertile, sandy soil with excellent drainage and neutral or slightly acidic pH.  The young tree needs room for a taproot. If planting in a container, it should be at least 8 inch (20 cm) deep. Cherries are very hard to grow in clay soil. If you want to make a serious attempt, build a raised bed 1 foot (0.3 meters) high. Poke a hole with your finger down to the first knuckle, and drop a cherry seed into the hole. Plant the cherries 1 ft (0.3 meters) apart for now, but expect to transplant the survivors 20 ft (6m) apart eventually. You can plant the cherries closer together, but you'll need to thin them once the shoots reach 2 inches (5 cm) high. If you went with the fall planting method, cover with 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of sand. This prevents a frozen crust from blocking the shoots once they come up. If you're planting the seeds in spring, just fill the hole you created up to soil level. If planted directly in the ground instead of pots, the seeds will be a major target for digging and burrowing animals. Cover the area with a wire screen or hardware cloth, bend the edges, and sink them several inches into the ground to form a barrier. Remove this barrier once the first sprouts appear. Water the seeds lightly after the last spring frost date for your area. Water only once the soil is almost dry. Young cherries cannot stand waterlogged soil, but can't stay dry for too long either. Cherries are slow to germinate. If you followed both the warm and cold stratification steps, you can expect to see some sprouts within the next few months. Even then, some seeds might take an entire year to germinate, breaking ground the following spring.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите место с подходящей почвой. Высадите семена на глубину менее 2.5 см. Засыпьте вишни подходящим материалом в зависимости от сезона. Защитите семена от вредителей. Изредка поливайте семена по прошествии последних заморозков. Дождитесь появления побегов.


Chest problems include infections, pneumonia, heart disease, lung disease, tumors, and fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion). These conditions need to be treated by a veterinarian. If you think your cat has chest congestion, do not try home remedies; delaying your cat’s visit to the vet may only make her condition worse. Pneumonia is a serious lung infection. Toxins from bacteria and viruses cause inflammation in the lungs and may also cause discharge to collect in the lungs. When this occurs, the oxygen exchange in your cat’s lungs slows down, forcing your cat to work harder to breathe. Intense antibiotics are generally prescribed to treat pneumonia. If your cat is very sick, she may also need supportive care, such as intravenous fluids or an oxygen tent. A diseased heart is inefficient at pumping blood around the body. Shifts in blood pressure in the lungs allow fluid to leak out of the blood vessels and into lung tissue. Just like with pneumonia, this reduces the ability of the lungs to exchange oxygen, which may cause your cat to become breathless. If heart disease is to blame for your cat’s difficulty breathing, your veterinarian will try to determine the type of heart disease and prescribe the right medications. Cats often require oxygen therapy to help stabilize them before any type of medicine or other treatments can be administered. Lung diseases include conditions such as asthma, where the airways constrict and create resistance to air moving in and out of the lungs. This condition is similar to bronchitis, another lung disease, where the airways are very stiff, the walls become thickened and oxygen exchange is blocked. Asthma may affect allergen-sensitive cats breathing in allergens.   For asthma, many cats are prescribed corticosteroids, either by a depot inject or in oral tablet form. Steroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medications that work to reduce inflammation in your cat’s airways. However, salbutamol inhalers are also available for asthmatic cats – if the cat tolerates the face...

Причиной проблем с дыханием могут быть заболевания сердца. Затруднение дыхания может быть вызвано болезнями легких. Учтите, что легочные нематоды также могут вызывать проблемы с дыханием. Затруднение дыхания может быть вызвано опухолью. Плевральный выпот также может вызывать трудности с дыханием.


Chewing a piece of gum will trigger your brain and stomach to believe you are about to eat or feeling full. This will not only stimulate your mind to feel full, but will also make sure that your mouth is too busy to eat. Make sure to chew sugarless gum so that you don’t get unnecessary calories. Chewing gum can even burn 11 calories an hour. Sucking on ice cubes will activate the same feelings of fullness as gum. Ice cubes have the added benefit that they melt into water, which will also make you feel full.  Try putting some sugar-free flavoring into your ice cubes if you don’t like the taste of plain ones. Be careful with ice cubes if you have sensitive teeth or wear braces as they can cause mouth pain. You can also try buying calorie-free, sugar-free popsicles and use those instead of chewing on ice cubes. One of the most effective ways to feel full without eating is to drink more throughout the day. Consuming water will fill your stomach and also keep you hydrated.  Dehydration may send signals to your brain that are similar to hunger signals.  If you're not well hydrated, you may feel hungry when you're actually just thirsty.  Carbonated water is a may also be a good choice because the bubbles will fill your stomach. If you don’t like plain water, infuse it with flavors by adding some lemon, lime, cucumber or even fruits like raspberries.  Just make sure not to eat any fruits you put in the water! Drinking something with a flavor can help settle your stomach and calm your hunger.  You can use other herbs such as licorice root, burdock, nettles, and fennel to help suppress your appetite. Steeping these herbs in hot water will give you a nice tea that has the added benefit of belly-filling water. Also try herbal teas or flavored teas without added sugar. Tea and coffee are also good options because the caffeine will help suppress your appetite (in the short-term) while filling your stomach with liquid. If you start to feel hunger pangs and don’t want to eat anything, brushing your teeth can make you feel...

Chia seed gel made from chia and plain water can be used as a substitute for eggs in most baked good recipes.  Grind a handful of chia seeds dry in a coffee grinder, blender, or food processor. Mix 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of ground chia seeds with 3 Tbsp (45 ml) of water. Let it sit for 15 minutes or until it thickens into a gel.  This amount can be used as a substitute for one egg in just about any baked recipe. Speaking of baking, you can grind chia seeds into a coarse gluten-free flour that can be used in a variety of recipes, including those for many baked goods.  Put a handful of seeds in a food processor, coffee grinder, or blender and pulse until a powder forms. For thick doughs, you can substitute chia flour in equal parts. For thin batter, mix one part chia seed flour with three parts gluten-free flour. Chia seeds absorb liquid and give it a thicker texture. In highly concentrated amounts, chia seeds can turn the liquid into gel, but in small enough amounts, it only acts as a thickener.  Add 2 Tbsp (30 ml) whole or ground chia seeds to soups, stews, gravies, and sauces instead of cornstarch or flour. Mix well to combine and let it sit for 5 minutes to gauge the new thickness. Continue adding additional chia seeds to the liquid as needed to achieve your desired thickness. There are a variety of chia seed based snacks that you can make at home. Some of the easiest include chia crackers and chia seed pudding.  There are several variations of chia crackers you can make, but most simply require you to mix the seeds with a few seasonings and some water before baking.  Mix 1/2 cup (125 ml) chia seeds with 1/2 cup (125 ml) sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup (125 ml) pumpkin seeds, and 1/2 cup (125 ml) sesame seeds.  Combine 1 cup (250 ml) water, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 tsp (5 ml) grated onion, and 1/4 tsp (125 ml) salt separately before stirring the seasoning liquid into the seeds. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). Cut into crackers, flip to the...

Children and adults who are rejected by their parents may deal with anger problems and aggression. Counteract these negative effects by finding positive ways to manage your anger. You might pick up a new physical activity, such as running or boxing. Other ways to express anger might be through creative pursuits like dancing, painting, or writing. Rejection can make you question yourself and your decisions. You might also feel ashamed. Work to overcome this by taking ownership of your story and your experience. Don’t feel like you need to hide or change who you are because of the rejection.  Start by writing a narrative. Detail all the events that led up to the rejection and how they have affected you. Try to include any thoughts and feelings relating to the event. Write the narrative through your own eyes as opposed to your parent’s.  Once you’ve written your story, share it with others. Try starting with a best friend, a favorite teacher, or a school counselor. If you're an adult, share your story with a partner or close pal. You’ll have many relationships throughout your lifetime, but the most constant relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself. That’s why self-love can be a powerful tool for dealing with rejection.  Try repeating a loving affirmation daily, such as “I am at peace with all that has happened and all that will happen because everything is working towards my greatest good.”  When you repeat affirmations that reinforce self-love, it may feel strange at first. However, over time, you might find yourself reciting them more loudly and confidently. You might even come to believe them. After being rejected by a parent, you might experience a great deal of insecurity in your relationships and life in general. One way to overcome insecurity is by boosting your optimism and learning to look on the bright side of things.  One trick for  developing optimism is recognizing that you aren’t always responsible for how things turn out.  Do your best to remind yourself that any rejection or judgement is...

Children and teenagers with existing mental or psychological conditions seem more prone to drinking, as do children and teenagers who experience significant problems at home or who lack parental supervision and involvement. If your child falls into any of these categories, pay extra attention. There is also some evidence of alcoholism “running in families.” If your child has a close family member with a drinking problem, he or she may have an increased risk. Children and teenagers who have been drinking exhibit the same symptoms of intoxication that adults do: they slur their speech, become less coordinated, walk unsteadily, and show signs of impaired attention and memory. They may feel dizzy, vomit, or pass out. Intoxication does not necessarily indicate alcoholism. Many teenagers get drunk once or twice – or even more often than that – without ever becoming dependent on alcohol. Nevertheless, it's vital to take underage drinking seriously. Let your child know that you do not want it to happen again, and pay attention to his or her behavior in the future. Children and teenagers who abuse alcohol have significant problematic behaviors and psychological changes associated with drinking: mood instability, impaired judgment, poor social or occupational functioning, aggressive behavior, and inappropriate sexual behavior. If you notice these signs of alcohol abuse, take them seriously. Your child needs help. Alcohol abuse may entail physically dangerous behaviors like driving under the influence, which can also lead to legal problems. Be aware that someone who abuses alcohol is likely to put himself or herself (and others) at risk. As someone becomes dependent on alcohol, he or she will need to drink more and more to get the same effects. In addition, he or she will experience withdrawal symptoms when alcohol is not available. These symptoms include aches, pains, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, restlessness, nightmares, and mood swings. Alcohol dependence (or alcoholism) is extremely serious, especially for children...

Поймите факторы риска злоупотребления алкоголем и алкогольной зависимости. Следите за признаками интоксикации. Будьте бдительны в отношении признаков злоупотребления алкоголем. Знайте признаки алкогольной зависимости.


Children are more likely to feel motivated to keep trying when their efforts, instead of their accomplishments, are acknowledged. Acknowledging your child’s efforts lets them know that hard work is more valuable than specific results. If your child does well on a test, comment on their hard work. For example, you might say, “Your hard work really paid off on this test.” Descriptive words are different than the usual kinds of evaluative praise we give children. Evaluative praise involves judgments like “good” and “bad.” On the other hand, descriptive words simply relate true observations, such as “you got all of your homework done on time.”  Words of praise such as “this is really good” teach your child to rely on someone else's assessment. On the other hand, descriptive words such as, “This paper really demonstrates your knowledge of the material,” is just an observation and has no evaluative judgment. Thus, it will teach your child to form her own positive self-assessment. When your child doesn’t perform up to their expectations, provide encouragement in the form of constructive advice about how to do better the next time.  For example, if you child does poorly on a math test despite studying hard, tell them that the two of you will work on a different study method for the next test. Never put down your child’s efforts. If you criticize your child after they put in effort, they’ll feel like there’s no point in trying. If your child isn’t’ living up to their potential or is simply refusing to do their homework, you should make it clear that you expect them to do better. However, you don’t want to be overly critical or push your child away.  Tell your child that if they don’t do their homework you will start taking away privileges such as TV and videogames. Avoid judgmental words. Never tell your child that they’re stupid or lazy. Make it clear that any punishment is simply a way to motivate your child to do better. For example, you might say, “TV is taking up too much of your time and you’re not getting your...

Children are more susceptible to frostbite, since they're not as aware when of the warning signs. A child might lose a mitten and end up with numb fingers without giving it a moment's notice. Bring your children inside often, especially in very cold temperatures, to make sure they stay safe. Frostbite can start to occur very quickly at low temperatures or when there are high winds or precipitation. If the weather conditions change, it's important to seek shelter as soon as possible. Wet clothing against the skin increases the risk of frostbite. Keep clothes dry, especially socks and gloves or mittens. Bring extras or go inside to dry them off if they become wet. This is especially important when you’re in very cold temperatures. Look at your skin, press it to feel how firm it is, and wiggle your fingers and toes. Early signs of frostbite include: This is the earliest stage. It involves painful sensations and red skin that responds normally to pressure. The second stage is characterized by numbness and white or grayish-yellow skin that still feels soft. This type of frostbite is very dangerous, and requires immediate medical attention. See if there's numbness and white or grayish-yellow skin that feels waxy and unusually firm. Dizziness, confusion and fever may also be present.

TL;DR in Russian:

Children having asthma attacks often struggle so hard to breathe that you'll be able to see it. If have any feeling that the child is struggling to breathe or that “something is wrong,” trust your instincts. Give the child her inhaler or other prescribed immediate relief medication and seek medical attention if possible. When children have asthma attacks, their bodies have to work hard just to breathe. As a result, the skin may appear sweaty or damp. But instead of looking flushed and pink as it would from exercise, it will appear pale or white during an asthma attack. Blood turns red only when exposed to oxygen, so if a child isn't getting enough oxygen, you won't see the pink flush of normal blood flow. If you notice a blue tinge to the skin, or if the lips and fingernails become blue, the child’s attack is very serious. She is severely oxygen-deprived and needs immediate medical help.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените общий вид ребенка. Обратите внимание на бледную и липкую кожу. Проверьте, не посинела ли кожа.


Children may express their feelings indirectly, through their play or artwork. They might try to hide their feelings, particularly if they’re older children or teens. Your child might become more irritable, or suddenly seem younger than her age.  Accept whatever feelings your child might have about the death. Let your child know that it’s fine for her to feel happy, sad, confused, scared, or angry. No matter what she feels, you should reassure her that she is safe and cared for. If your child’s feelings cause you to be upset, she’ll be more likely to hide her feelings from you. It can help your child in the grieving process to remember the good times with the dead. Try making a photo album or storybook including pictures and memories of the dead in happier times.  Remember that grieving isn’t about forgetting, but about processing the loss of a special friend or animal. Looking at pictures, remembering stories or writing them down is one way of keeping the connection with the dead person or pet alive as your child gets used to the fact of their absence. If you have religious beliefs, share them with your child in a way that your child can understand. For example, if you want to tell your child that her grandmother is “in heaven,” be prepared to say more about that.  If your religious tradition has special observances, services, or rituals surrounding death, you should include your child in these preparations. Ask a leader in your religious community for help in explaining your faith tradition’s ideas regarding death. If you read regularly to your child, you might consider reading books that talk directly about death. This is a safe way for you and your child to share this information together, through the familiar routine of reading. Books that have been written to help explain death and loss to children include:   When Dinosaurs Die: A Guide to Understanding Death by Laurie Krasny Brown and Marc Brown  I Miss You: A First Look at Death by Pat Thomas  So Much to Think About: When Someone You Care About has...

Children may forget to drink enough fluids when they are not feeling well. In addition, you child will lose water faster than usual if their body is producing mucus or if they're running a fever. Offer plenty of liquids frequently and encourage them to drink even if they aren't thirsty.   Good drinks include water, juice, clear broth, or warm lemon water. The juice, broth, and lemon water will also help replenish electrolytes. Monitor your child for signs of dehydration including decreased urination, no tears when crying, sleepiness, dizziness, constipation, headaches, irritability, dry mouth, skin and mucous membranes, passing dark or cloudy urine. Getting enough fluid will also help control your child’s fever. Fighting of the flu will sap your child’s energy, so extra sleep is very important. Let your child sleep for as long as they can. This may include naps during the day. The amount of sleep your child needs will vary according to age and individual needs. In general healthy children need:  11 – 18 hours as newborns 9 – 12 hours from 4 to 11 months old 11 – 14 hours from 1 to 2 years old 11– 13 hours when they are 3 to 5 years old 9 – 11 hours when they are 6 to 13 years old 8 – 10 hours in their teens If your child’s temperature rises, they may get the chills and even start shivering.  This occurs when the body temperature rises in relation to the air temperature. If your child gets the chills, take their temperature to see if they are running a fever and keep them warm.  A normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). Most pediatricians define a fever as a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. Tuck them into bed and put extra blankets on the bed. If your child is an infant, wrap them in a blanket and hold them. Your body heat will help keep them warm. If their fever starts coming down they may suddenly feel very warm and remove the blankets. Let them regulate their temperature as needed. Remove extra blankets if your infant starts to feel very warm. Use a cool-mist humidifier to keep the air moist in...

Children retain information better when their hands and their brains are simultaneously busy, or engaged. This is accomplished by developing lessons and activities that require students to talk, listen, and move. These types of lessons and activities will benefit active, auditory, and visual learners.   Incorporate more arts and craft projects into your lessons. Have students move around to different learning stations. Group students by interests or strengths. Provide them with activities that let them explore a topic in a way that engages them. Field trips provide students with the opportunity to connect the abstract concepts they are learning inside the classroom to the real world.  As an educator, select field trips that promote hands-on learning. For example, if you are studying your nation’s government, take them to your state’s capitol building. As a parent, you have the luxury to use your time and resources a little more creatively. Take your child to an art museum out of state to see their favorite painting or to a distant historic site to experience your nation’s history. Sign your child up for an engineering camp or have them shadow one of your friends at an office. Instead of limiting or checking their imagination, allow their creativity to run rampant. Foster their creativity by designing lessons that encourage the use of arts and crafts, role-playing, or a range of similar activities.  When teaching students about the judicial branch, have your students hold a mock-trial. When younger students study historical figures, ask them to dress up as their subject for a formal presentation. Provide your children with the freedom to express themselves through a variety of forms. Let them choose how they express their learning by giving them multiple options for projects. You could, for example, let them pick between a writing a story, drawing a picture, or performing a reenactment for a history lesson. After teaching a lesson to your students or studying a concept with your child, allow them to play an...

Children with ADHD can be defiant, aggressive, resistant to discipline, lawless, overly emotional, passionate, and lack inhibitions. Though for a long time, doctors assumed that such children were the victims of poor parents, in the early twentieth century, researchers began looking at the brain as the cause of ADHD.  Scientists studying the brain structure of children of ADHD report that some parts of their brains are smaller than normal.  One of these is the basal ganglia, which regulates muscle movement, telling muscles when they are needed for a given activity and when they should rest. For most of us, when we’re seated, the hands and feet don’t need to be in motion, but the less effective basal ganglia in a child with ADHD fails to inhibit excessive activity, so sitting still is harder for that child.  In other words, children with ADHD lack stimulation inside their brains and have poor impulse control, so they will work harder or "act out" to get that needed stimulation.  Once parents realize their child isn’t simply being willful or thoughtless and that their child's brain just processes things differently thanks to ADHD, they often find it easier to deal with behaviors. New-found compassion understanding provide more patience and willingness to restructure how they deal with their child. Other issues may compound the problems facing parents of ADHD-diagnosed children, as other disorders often accompany ADHD.  For example, about 20% of those with ADHD also have bipolar or depressive disorders, while over 33% have behavioral disorders such as conduct disorder or oppositional defiance disorder. Many children with ADHD also have learning disabilities or problems with anxiety.  Additional disorders or problems in addition to ADHD can make the job of disciplining your child more difficult. This is especially true if there are multiple medications with various potential side effects to take into account when trying to manage your child’s behaviors. " There is no real measure of what's normal, and the very...

Chimneys should be cleaned at least once a year, and more often if you use your fireplace frequently.  Take a flashlight and peer inside the chimney flute. Use a pencil or plastic knife to scrape off a bit of the creosote that has accumulated on the side of the chimney. If it's 1/8-inch thick or thicker, it's time for a cleaning. If you only clean your chimney once a year, do it in the fall, before the burning season begins. Otherwise, you risk sparking a chimney fire the first time you light up your fireplace in the winter. If it has been awhile since the last time you used your chimney, check for critters before you begin cleaning. Birds, squirrels and raccoons like to nest there, especially in the cooler months. Shine a flashlight up the chimney from the fireplace, and if you find an animal, take steps to have it removed. To clean your chimney, you'll have to use properly-sized tools. Measure the sides of your chimney from the bottom, through the fireplace. You could also climb up a ladder and measure it from the top.  Determine the size and shape of the flue. It will be either square or round, 6" or 8." Determine the height of the chimney. If you're guessing, it's better to overestimate, so you have more than enough extra rope or piping to make sure the chimney brush can reach the entire length of the chimney. Go to the hardware store and buy the following items in preparation for cleaning the chimney:  A chimney brush, either wire or plastic. Use your chimney's measurements to buy the right size. Chimney brush extension pipes, to help you clean the whole length of the chimney. Alternatively, you could buy a weighted rope designed to be used with the chimney brush, or a rope pulley system. A smaller stiff wire brush. A plastic tarp or drop cloth for use inside  your house. A ladder tall enough to reach your roof, if you plan to clean your chimney from the top down. A broom and dustpan. A dust mask and goggles. Wear old clothes that you don't mind getting messy with soot. Cover your hair with a bandanna....

Chlorine bleach is an effective cleaning agent that kills norovirus.  Increase the concentration or buy a new bottle of chlorine bleach if the bleach you have has been open for more than a month. Bleach becomes less effective the longer it remains open. Before applying bleach to a visible surface, test it somewhere that is not easily seen to make sure that it won’t damage the surface. If the surface is damaged by bleach, you can also use phenolic solutions, such as Pine-Sol, to clean the surface. There are certain concentrations of chlorine bleach you can use for different surfaces.  For stainless steel surfaces and items used for food consumption: Dissolve one tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water and clean the stainless steel. For non-porous surfaces like countertops, sinks, or tile floors: Dissolve one third of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. For porous surfaces, like wooden floors: Dissolve one and two thirds of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. After cleaning the surfaces, leave the solution to work for 10 to 20 minutes. After the time period elapses, rinse the surface with clean water. After these two steps, close off the area, and leave it like that for one hour. Leave the windows open, if possible, as breathing in bleach can be hazardous to your health. For areas exposed to feces or vomit contamination there are special cleaning procedures that you should try to follow. This is because the vomit or feces of a person contaminated with norovirus can easily cause you to become infected. To clean the vomit or feces:  Put disposable gloves on. Consider wearing a facemask that covers your mouth and nose as well. Using paper towels, gently clean the vomit and feces. Be careful not to splash or drip while cleaning. Use disposable cloths to clean and disinfect the entire area with chlorine bleach. Use sealed plastic bags to dispose of all the waste materials. If the feces or vomit gets on a carpeted area, there are other steps you can take to make sure that the area is clean and disinfected. To...

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic.  Rich and sweet, they taste great with a glass of cold milk.  You can use different kinds of chocolate to mix up the flavor.  Dark chocolate, for instance, has a somewhat bitter edge to it.  Sift 1.25 teaspoons of baking soda, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons of cake flour, and 1.66 cups of bread flour into a mixing bowl. Cream 1.25 cups of brown sugar, 2.5 sticks of butter, and 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar together in a mixer with a paddle attachment.  Add a large egg, then another after the first is well-mixed.  Pour 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the bowl. Reduce mixer speed to low and pour in the dry ingredients you sifted previously.  Mix them for about five to 10 seconds. Remove the mixer bowl from the mixer.  Slowly add 1.25 pounds of bittersweet chocolate disks.  Mix the disks carefully into the dough and try not to break them. Scoop the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap.  Wrap the dough in the plastic wrap carefully and refrigerate for a day or two.  You can use the dough for up to 72 hours. When you’re ready, heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Place parchment paper along a baking sheet and scoop small spoonfuls of dough onto the parchment paper.  The spoonfuls should weigh 3.5 ounces each. If you see any chocolate pieces poking out of the cookies, push them down into the cookie or turn them to a more horizontal orientation. Bake the cookies for about 19 minutes.  Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.  Consume with your friends. As their name implies, sugar cookies are a sweet treat.  You can use cake flour to make lots and lots of sugar cookies.  If you want, you could also add a coat of frosting to your sugar cookies after they’re ready.  Mix 3 cups of cake flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ a teaspoon of salt.  Set aside for the moment.  Place the bowl somewhere safe so it won’t spill.

Choose 8 long, medium-sized willow shoots to serve as the basket's "stakes." These are the vertical pieces that form the structure of the sides of the basket. Use your knife to sharpen the ends of the stakes into points. Insert a stake alongside each of your spokes, pushing each one down into the weave as close to the center as possible.  Bend the stakes upward so that they are pointing toward the sky. Use the hand pruner to trim the spokes back so that they're level with the edge of the weave, then tie the stakes together at their tips to keep them in place. This weave requires three weavers, which are woven among the stakes to set them in position. Find three long, thin shoots. Sharpen the ends into points. Insert the shoots into the base of the basket on the left side of three consecutive stakes. Now do two rows of the weave as follows:  Bend the far left weaver to the right in front of two stakes. Pass it behind the third stake and out to the front. Take the next far left weaver and bend it to the right in front of two stakes. Pass it behind the third stake and out to the front. Continue weaving this way, always starting with the far left weaver, until you have two rows of three rod wale. Untie the stakes at the top. Find 8 long, thin shoots. Use your knife to sharpen the ends into points. Insert one weaver into the basket behind a stake. Bend it over the next stake to the left, pass it behind the stake to the left of that one, and pass it back to the front. Now insert a second weaver behind the stake to the right of the starting point of your first weaver and do the same - pass it over the stake to the left, under the stake to the left of that one, and back to the front. Continue adding weavers this way until there is one weaver next to each stake.  When you insert the last two weavers, you'll need to lift up the first weavers a bit to make room to add the last weavers underneath. Use an awl or a long nail. This type of weaving is called French Randing. It's a popular weave that results in even, upright...

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите боковые стойки корзины. Сплетите два ряда веревочкой в три прута. Добавьте рабочие прутья для плетения стенок корзины. Сплетите стенки корзины. Зафиксируйте плетение рядом веревочки из трех прутьев. Закончите край.


Choose a cut that's large enough for your meal. Plan to serve 1/4 to 1/2 pound per of steak per person. Choose steaks that are at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, and preferably 2 inches (5.1 cm). Thinner steaks will dry out easily when you cook them. Fresh sirloin steak is deep red in color, with a generous marbling of fat. This marbling is what makes steak succulent.  There should be a band of white fat around the outside of the steak. If there's a lot of blood, thoroughly pat the steak dry using paper towels, then dispose of the paper towels immediately and wash your hands. Contrary to popular belief, you should not rinse raw beef to wash it. Rinsing raw beef and other raw meats can actually cause bacteria to spread to other foods and surfaces. Good steak doesn't require much seasoning. Salt and pepper sprinkled liberally on both sides is sufficient. Add garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, or Italian spices for variations. Top sirloin steak is a great meat to marinate, since it pairs well with many flavors.  Choose your favorite marinade from the store, or mix up your own with equal parts oil, vinegar and spices. Place the steak in a sealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Seal the bag and allow the steak to marinate for 2 to 4 hours. Exact marinating times vary depending on the type and size of the meat. For thick steaks, opt for the full 4 hours when possible.  When  you're ready to cook the steak, remove it from the bag, pat it dry with paper towels, and proceed to the next step. Cooking a cold steak will make it more difficult to achieve the "doneness" you desire. Room temperature steaks are easier to bring to rare, medium rare, medium well, and well done specifications.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите верхнюю часть филе в мясном или продуктовом магазине. Достаньте стейк из упаковки и вымойте. Приправьте мясо по своему вкусу. При необходимости замаринуйте стейк. Подержите стейк при комнатной температуре примерно час перед готовкой.


Choose a goal that is specific and achievable, and then give yourself a timeframe to accomplish it. Don’t just say, “I want to be a famous singer one day.” Try something like, “I want to sing at an outdoor venue this summer.” Then take the steps to get there. It may not pay a lot, but getting paid to sing will help you validate your potential as a singer. You may have to do a few initial gigs for free, but once you get yourself out there, it will become easier to find paying work.  Look for gigs singing at a restaurant or lounge, for weddings or parties, as a backup singer for another group, in a theatre production, or even a talent competition. Writing your own songs would be a huge boost to your credibility. But don’t feel bad if writing isn’t your thing—a lot of singers rely on others to write their songs for them. The goal here is to put out some fresh new music instead of relying solely on cover songs. If you opt to have someone write your songs for you, you then have to decide whether to give them credit or contract them as a ghost writer. In general, fans appreciate the honesty. Network in person and online to get to know more people in the music field. Other singers and professionals were once in your position and they may have experiences and advice that they would like to share with you. Just ask.  The more people you know, the more opportunities you create for yourself. By meeting one person, you have the potential to connect with their other connections as well. If there is someone who you want to know, try flattering them. Say something like, “You are an amazing performer. You always look so calm and at ease on stage. How do you do it?” Spend as much time as you can hanging out in places where successful musicians/producers meet. Go to clubs and dance halls and act like you're part of the industry, even if they don't know who you are. When planning a vacation, try to go to a city known for music. Travel to places like Nashville, Memphis, NYC, LA, New Orleans, Austin or Las Vegas and mix it up...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ставьте перед собой множество маленьких и достижимых целей. Найдите оплачиваемое выступление. Начните писать свою музыку, чтобы повысить свою репутацию. Общайтесь с другими музыкантами, чтобы расширять круг возможностей. Участвуйте в жизни местного музыкального сообщества. Найдите менеджера, если вам нужна помощь.


Choose a look that will make you stand out in a crowd. Consider these ideas for creating a wild look:  Get a blunt cut from your stylist and ask him or her to add bangs. Arrange your hair into dreadlocks if that works for your hair type. Dye or streak your hair with a unique color. If you're wary of making a major change to your hair color that you can't undo, then use a temporary dye. If your hair is braided or dreadlocked, one or two strands dyed a bright color will really pop. When adding a streak to your hair, having it closer to your face will have the biggest impact.  Back comb or "tease" your hair with a brush and some hairspray to give it volume. While most people who tease their hair today hide the knots with unteased hair, a popular "artsy" look is to make your back combing look obvious. Stop straightening or curling your hair. Let it return to its natural state. Choose a style that defies gender stereotypes. If you're a girl, go with extremely short hair. If you're a guy, grow your hair long. You can pierce your eyebrow, your lip or your nose for dramatic effect. Gauged earlobes are another popular piercing choice. Just remember that, unlike most other types of piercings, earlobe stretching is likely to be permanent. If you want something more subtle, pierce your ear cartilage. Tattoos themselves are an art form, and having a few may show off your creative side. If you consider your body a canvas, you might want to get tattooed in a way you find meaningful. Don't be thoughtless about it, though; you don't want to get a tattoo you'll regret.  If you are a visual artist, consider drawing your own design for your tattoo artist to use. The modern artist stereotype often includes full sleeves and/or neck tattoos. If you don't want to commit to the artist look for life, try temporary tattoos instead. You may want to grow out your facial hair or change your other shaving habits. Do what you want, and don't conform to social pressure. Shaving is a personal choice. Some artists shave, and some don't....

TL;DR in Russian:

Измените прическу. Сделайте пирсинг. Подумайте о татуировке. Перестаньте бриться. Носите модные джинсы. Носите больше черного. Носите берет.


Choose a picture frame with a design that you like. Flip the frame over and remove the back panel. Discard any paper inserts, then remove the glass panel. Save the cardboard backing from the frame, however; you will need it to put everything back together. Dampen a soft cloth or paper towel with rubbing alcohol, then wipe it over both sides of the glass. This is important because it will remove any oils that may prevent the paint from sticking. Handle the glass panel by the edges from now on to avoid getting fingerprints on it. It would be best if you worked outdoors, but a large room with open windows would also work. Place something under the glass to protect your work surface, such as newspaper or a cheap, plastic tablecloth. Consider propping the glass up on some cans that are all the same height. This will prevent the paint from leaking under the glass. Buy a can of mirror-effect spray paint. This can be found at most home improvement stores. The can should say "mirror-effect," "mirror-finish," or "transform(s) into a mirror" on it. Shake the can for the time recommended on the label, typically 20 to 30 seconds. Don't use regular silver spray paint, even if the cap looks shiny. It is not the same thing and it will not work. Hold the can 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) away from the glass. Apply a light coat of spray paint, using a side-to-side sweeping motion. Wait about 1 minute for it to dry, then apply a second coat. Keep repeating this step until the glass turns opaque. You'll need about 5 coats total.  Hold your hand under the glass to check its transparency. If you can see your hand, it is not opaque enough. It is better to apply many thin coats of paint rather than 1 or 2 thick coats. It will take longer, but the finish will be nicer. You are only applying paint to one side of the glass panel, not both. How long this takes depends on the area that you live in; the cooler it is, the longer it will take to dry. In general, however, expect to wait about 10 minutes. Place the frame face-down on the...

Choose a place to drink based on your significant other's preferences. If they're more laid back, try a bar. If they like nicer things, take them somewhere to get fancy cocktails. Try to pay for all of their drinks since it's their birthday. It's fine if your significant other doesn't like romantic films, you can take them to see an action movie or a thriller instead. Treat them to some popcorn and a drink at the concession stand. For an even more romantic movie-going experience, take them to see a movie at the drive-ins. You'll have an easier time talking to each other sitting in the car than you will in a crowded theater. If you really think your significant other would enjoy seeing the sunset, have a late dinner and watch the sunset first. Find a high vantage point, like on top of a hill or on a rooftop, for the best view. Bring along a picnic basket with something romantic inside like chocolate covered strawberries or champagne. If you don't live near a jazz club, search online for a local establishment where a live-band will be performing. Don't forget to ask your significant other to dance. Reserve a carriage for you and your significant other in advance so there's one available for you in the evening. During the ride, remind your significant other how much they mean to you and ask them if they had a good birthday.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отправляйтесь в бар после ужина, если хотите продолжить праздник. Сходите в театр или посмотрите романтический фильм. Посетите место, в котором можно посмотреть на закат, если ужин запланирован на ранее время. Сходите в джаз-клуб, если ваша вторая половинка любит живую музыку. Завершите день прогулкой в коляске, запряженной лошадьми.


Choose a product with about 30–50% slow release fertilizer. If you can't find a mix, go with a slow-release fertilizer for your home lawn. This has a less dramatic effect, but has less risk of burning your lawn or causing excessive growth.  Slow release fertilizers are also called timed release or insoluble fertilizers. They include urea foam, IBDU, and WIN. Fast release fertilizers include urea, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium sulfate. Nitrogen is the most important nutrient you can add to your lawn. The first of the three numbers on the fertilizer tell you the percentage of nitrogen it contains. This should be the highest number, with the ideal ratio around 3:1:2 or 4:1:2. For example, a 9-3-6 fertilizer has a ratio of 3:1:2. Fertilizer made from animal or plant products decompose into proteins and carbohydrates that feed earthworms and microbes on your lawn. Keeping these populations healthy ensures well-aerated soil and fast decomposition of grass clippings. Organic fertilizers are also less likely to damage your lawn than synthetic products. All lawns need at least one fertilization a year to prevent water runoff and improve health. Past that, it's up to your how much effort you want to put in. Here are three approaches, from the easiest to the most effective:  Fertilize once a year, applying 1 lb nitrogen per 1,000 square feet (0.5 kg / 100 m2). Late fall is ideal, but never during frost, snowy or soaked ground, or a heat wave following a frost. Fertilize every 8–10 weeks from spring to fall, using 0.5–1 lb nitrogen per 1,000 square feet (0.25–0.5 kg / 100 m2) each time. Skip one of these if you leave grass clippings on your lawn after each mow. Look at a local university agriculture extension website for a guide that matches your grass species and climate. The easy approach is to adjust your fertilizer spreader, which should come with instructions. Use the setting listed for 1lb nitrogen per 1,000 square feet (0.5 kg / 100 m2). For a more accurate measure, use this calculation instead:  Find the...

Choose a simple, woven material, not a knit one, for your first sewing experience. Don't use a very heavy fabric for your first attempts at machine sewing. Denim and flannel can be hard to sew because they are too thick when several layers are piled together. Sew with the bulk of the material to the left of the machine; crowding the bulk on the right side can cause messy stitching. When you have made an assortment of test seams and start to feel comfortable with the basics, try sewing a pillow, pillowcase, or cloth gift bag.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попрактикуйтесь на плохом материале. Положите ткань под иглу. Попробуйте простые проекты.


Choose a sock that still has plenty of elasticity or "stretch" to it. If you choose an old sock that is too loose, the ring might not hold later on. Make sure that the sock is clean, but not one that you will wear again. You will be cutting this sock. Spread the hair coming out through the top of the sock ring all the way around the ring, making it look like the petals of a flower. Bring sections of your hair over the sock ring before tucking them securely under the sock.  Make sure that the hair is spread out evenly so that the waves will be even later on. All the ends need to be tucked under the sock before you can press on. If your hair is very long, you may need to slide the sock up your ponytail some so that you can comfortably fold the ends into the sock.

TL;DR in Russian:

Choose a time when you are free to soak for at least 1 hour. The more recently you put on your self-tanner, the better; it's a bit harder to take off when it's set. Consider this an excuse for an hour of me time! This part is totally optional. Soaking for longer can loosen your self-tanner's jaws, but exfoliates and toners work by themselves, too. If you don't have one, you can make one yourself! The sugar beads lift up your top layer of skin, greatly reducing that unfortunate color you've acquired. And it leaves your skin silky smooth!  Use an exfoliating mitt to expedite the process and double your efficacy. A pumice stone is generally to hard on your skin, so it's best to stick to the mitt or your loofah. Then apply a gradual self-tanner, if you'd like. You know, one of the kinds that is purposefully slow-going. It can help even out what's left of your original experience. The longer you can keep it on the better, but aim for at least 10 minutes. 30 if you can tolerate the boredom of just standing there! This is a good method if you're just too dark or too orange, as it will reduce the difference between your natural tone and your tanned tone overall. These will be your biggest priorities, since they can't be easily covered with clothing. They are also resilient areas that are not prone to irritation when a toner is used. If you have a toner with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), use it. These acids tend to be very effective at correcting skin discoloration. Yep, there's definitely such a thing and they generally cost around $15. They come in the forms of pads or creams and are pretty self-explanatory. They'll be effective, but not necessarily any more so than the stuff you already have in your bathroom/kitchen. Only shell out the bills if for some reason you feel compelled to. You should notice significant improvement, but if you still see some discoloration or streaks, continue with regular baths, baking soda scrubs and lemon juice and toner applications. No self-tanner is that...

Choose a vertical or horizontal wall mount depending on how you want your bike to be stored. A vertical bike rack is a good option if you're trying to conserve wall space. Choose a horizontal bike rack if you want your bike to hang flat against the wall. Measure the length of the bike if you're using a vertical bike rack, or the height of the bike if you're using a horizontal bike rack. Don't put the rack up too high or the bike might touch the ceiling when it's hung up. Once you have the rack in position, mark where all of the screw holes on the rack line up with the wall. Most bike racks have two screw holes.  If you’re using a horizontal rack, make sure the distance between the floor and the bike rack is greater than the height of the bike. If you’re using a vertical rack, make sure the distance between the floor and the bike rack is greater than the length of the bike. Make sure the holes you drill are deep enough that the whole length of the screws will fit in them. Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screws that came with the bike rack.  For example, if the bike rack came with 6mm screws, use a 5mm drill bit. The wall plugs will give the screws you’re going to use to mount the bike rack something to grip onto. Use wall plugs that are the same size as the screws that came with the bike rack. You can find wall plugs at your local hardware store. Use a screwdriver to screw the screws that came with the bike rack into the wall plugs. Continue turning the screwdriver until the screws won't turn anymore. If you’re using a vertical bike rack, hang the bike by the front tire. If you’re using a horizontal bike rack, place the top tube of your bike frame on the rack.

Choose a weekend or whenever you don't have school. Begin at about four in the afternoon. Clean your bedroom, as most of your time will be spent there. Get what you need to keep you awake until your parents go to sleep. This could include your cellphone, tablet, iPod Touch, Game Boy, laptop, D.S., some books, a notebook or diary, pencils, MP3 player, snacks and/or drinks, or a PSP.  Sneak some snacks into the room. Just a few snacks (salty, sugary snacks are best) and a bottle of any drink would be perfect. Try to get sugary beverages such as soda or juice. The drinks don't have to be cold. You might want to get some water too.     If you are going to get on the computer, turn it on before going to bed, because it makes noise when it turns on. Just ensure your speaker volume is low (or turned off). Charge anything that needs to be charged. Make a list of what you will want to do, because it is easier to stay awake with a list to work through.

TL;DR in Russian:

Choose an outfit that reflects the position you want to attain. Additionally, make sure your outfit is clean, wrinkle-free, and fits well. This will show the potential employer that you take your career seriously.  Don't wear a bunch of cologne or perfume to your interview. Some people are sensitive to smells, so the scent might detract from what you're saying. If you know the company culture includes more casual dress, it’s okay to choose an outfit that fits with the typical workplace attire. You probably have a lot of important concerns right now, but dealing with them in a job interview is a no-no. Put your phone and other electronics on silent or turn them completely off. If you feel your phone go off, ignore it until after the interview. If you’re in a unique situation where you can’t turn off your phone, discuss this with your interviewer ahead of time. For instance, if you were an on-call nurse who’s interviewing for a job as a college professor, you might need to take a call from the hospital. In this unique case, your interviewer might understand. It’s really important that you be on time for the interview. Not only does it show you’re reliable, it also demonstrates that you can plan ahead for unfamiliar situations. Being late for any reason will make you look unorganized and unconcerned. Don’t arrive more than 15 minutes early because it may confuse or inconvenience your interviewer. If you arrive to the location really early, go for a short walk or review your interview materials while you wait outside. when you meet your interviewer. Eye contact shows the interviewer that you’re really listening to them and helps create a connection. Additionally, it projects that you have good interpersonal skills. Maintain eye contact during your greeting and throughout the interview. If eye contact is hard for you, practice by making eye contact with yourself in a mirror or practice with a relative or friend. When you meet your interviewer, go in for a handshake. Give their hand a firm squeeze and pump your arm...

Choose ankle or knee-high boots like cowboy boots or riding boots to tuck pants or jeans into. Slouch boots are often roomier if you’re having trouble fitting your pants under boots. Wear skinny or narrow fit pants for this look. To show off ankle boots with pants that are a little too long, roll the bottoms over once or twice to create a cuff. It’s okay to leave a little skin showing between pants and boots. Choose light-wash jeans for this look. Choose narrow, smooth boots without a lot of extra bulk like buckles or straps if you want to wear pants over them. Bootcut jeans and pants are made for this. They should be wide enough to easily fit over your boots, and skim the top of where your foot is. Stick with neutral color boots (black, brown, or gray) to wear them with any outfit. A good rule for both men and women is to match your boot color with your belt color, too, if you’re wearing one. In general, wear brown with brown and black with black.  For an evening look, pair heeled boots with a super skinny pant and shiny top. If you want to wear a bright statement boot, pair it with more muted color clothing. Try out motorcycle boots paired with black pants and a leather jacket for an edgier look, or combat boots with jeans, a loose plaid shirt, and a beanie for a grunge look.

Choose art that reflects your personality and interests. Make sure it works with the colors you've used in your room. You can buy original art or prints. You can find great pieces at local department stores, home goods stores, or online. For inexpensive options, check your local thrift stores or garage sales. You don't have to spend a lot of money on art to decorate your room. Get creative with some art supplies, or turn found objects into a fun art piece. Look online for instruction videos on how to make your own art. If someone comes into your room and looks around, you want them to see the a cozy room, not just a crazy bunch of decorations.

Choose chunky or creamy peanut butter depending on what you prefer, and spread a thin layer of it on a slice of your bread. Then pick your favorite type of jelly and spread it on the other slice of bread. Assemble the sandwich and serve it. Use jam or preserves if you want actual fruit pieces in your sandwich. Choose a slice of your favorite cheese and place it between 2  slices of bread. Butter the outsides of the bread slices and put it on a pan over medium-low heat. Flip the sandwich once it’s golden brown on one side and let the cheese melt completely before serving it.  Serve your grilled cheese with tomato soup so you can dip your sandwich. Make a tomato and mozzarella sandwich for an Italian-style grilled cheese. Include vegetables, like onions, peppers, or tomatoes, to make your sandwich healthier. Put apples on your grilled cheese for a sweet and savory sandwich. Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado on one of the slices of bread to start. Layer vegetables like sliced cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and shredded carrots to add as many flavors as you want. Top your sandwich with Greek yogurt or goat cheese to add a different flavor to the sandwich before serving it.  Use pickled vegetables to add a sour flavor and a crunch when you bite into it. If you want to have a creamy, earthy flavor on your sandwich, try spreading goat cheese on one of the bread slices. Chop hard-boiled eggs into small cubes and mix them with mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, green onions, and celery. Season your egg salad with salt, pepper, and any other spices you want before chilling it in your fridge for 1 hour. Put the egg salad on your slices of bread and top it with lettuce to finish your sandwich.  Try the egg salad in a lettuce wrap if you want a low-carb meal. Mix cayenne pepper and paprika in your egg salad if you want to give it a kick. Toss shredded carrots, radishes, and red onion in a bowl with parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil to dress the vegetables. Open a slice of pita bread and spread hummus on the...

Choose either bone-in or boneless pork chops. The boneless chops tend to have less fat, but they aren't quite as flavorful. Bone-in chops are less expensive and release a lot of delicious flavor as they cook.  Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Add other seasonings like garlic powder or paprika if you'd like. Let the butter melt completely before proceeding. The pan should be nice and hot. Make sure none of them are overlapping. If you need to fry the pork chops two at a time because your pan isn't large enough for four, that's fine. If the pork chops are thicker than an inch, give them a bit longer.

Choose foods that are full of antioxidants, healthy fats (such as omega-3s), lean protein, and vitamins. Eating a healthy diet can improve the health of your ovaries and eggs. Some healthy foods include:  Seafood (halibut, salmon) Seeds (pumpkin, sesame) Spices (turmeric, ginger) Leafy greens Beans Broccoli Berries (strawberries, blueberries) Vitamin D has been shown to directly increase AMH levels, so take a 1000-2000IU (international unit) supplement 1 time a day. Vitamin D can also keep your ovaries healthy once you've been taking it for several weeks. Always talk with your health care provider before adding any nutritional supplements to your diet. Vitamin D can affect calcium absorption so let your doctor know if you're taking calcium supplements or antacids. Take a 25 mg supplement 3 times a day to improve your hormone balance. Studies have shown that the longer you supplement with DHEA, the steadier your AMH levels will rise. If you're taking insulin, cancer treatments, or other hormone treatments, ask your doctor before adding a DHEA supplement.  AMH levels increased more in young women with premature ovarian aging than in older women with diminished ovarian reserves. If you experience headaches, fatigue, nausea, or congestion, ask your health care provider if you should keep taking the supplement. Add 3000 mg of fish oil and 300 mg of wheat germ oil to your daily diet. Depending on the type of supplement you buy, take these as a single dose or throughout the day. Research has shown that the combination of healthy oils can raise AMH levels and keep your ovaries healthy. If you're taking weight loss pills or blood pressure medication, talk with your doctor before adding fish oil and wheat germ supplements.  If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your health care provider before starting the supplements since the fish oil could contain mercury. Buy fish oil supplements from local natural grocers, supermarkets, or supplement stores. Instead of eating foods that are high in sugar, calories, and...

Choose large or extra large eggs to make separating them easier. The best results are obtained with very fresh eggs, since the protein "strings" that cause the stiffening of the whites break down over time. When doing this you must be careful not to get any yolk or shell pieces mixed in with the whites of the eggs. There are several ways to separate an egg:  Method One: Carefully break the eggshell in half, and hold it over a bowl to allow the egg white to pour out slowly while the yolk remains in the shell. Method Two: Place the entire egg into a shallow bowl and pour off the white without breaking the yolk. It helps to hold the yolk back from the edge of a bowl with a spoon. Either method requires practice. Method Three: Hold a slotted spoon over a bowl. Crack the egg open and then pour the yolk and white through the slotted spoon. The spoon will allow the whites to go through and down into the bowl, while the yolk will remain in the spoon. Method Four: Put the egg in a bowl. Find a plastic bottle with a wider mouth. Now pinch the bottle so that it crinkles, and place it over the egg yolk. Let the pressure on the bottle release, and the yolk should be sucked up into the bottle. You can save the yolks for another recipe, such as homemade mayonnaise, or you can use them later if the recipe calls for that.

Choose shiny, stretchy fabric to use as your tail; you can find lots of great options in the dance-wear section of the fabric store. It would be best if your fabric already has a scale print on it, but you can use a solid-colored fabric instead.  If you choose fabric with scales on it, make sure that the scales run down the fold, not across it. Green is a popular mermaid color, but you can make your tail any color you want. For example, if you want to be a tropical mermaid, orange would be a great choice. Place a fitted skirt on top of the fabric so that the top edges match up. Trace around the sides of the skirt with a dressmaker's chalk or pen, adding a ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) seam allowance. When you get to the bottom of the skirt, extend the side edges downward to where your knees would be. Don't taper the bottom of the tail just yet.  If your fabric has scales on it, make sure that they are pointing downward. If you don't have a fitted skirt, you can use a pair of leggings or skinny jeans instead. You can also lay down on the fabric, trace around your waist and hips, sit up, then trace around your thighs. Add a few inches/centimeters), otherwise the skirt will be too small. Find the center of the hem, then make a dot down where the mid-calf would be. Connect the dot to the left and right edges of the hem. Use a ruler or a straight edge to ensure that the lines are straight. If you choose not to do this, draw a horizontal line straight across the bottom hem of the skirt. Pin the fabric together with sewing pins first, then cut it out. The pins will keep the fabric from slipping when you cut it. Leave the sewing pins in place. If you added a V shaped hem, do not pin the slanted sides of the V. Step into the skirt and pull it up to where you'd like it to sit. The material around the legs may be loose. If you'd like it to be more form fitting, take the pins out and pin the skirt tighter. Take the skirt off when you are done.  If you made the skirt tighter, take a few steps to ensure that you can still walk...

Сложите выбранную для хвоста ткань вдоль пополам лицевой стороной внутрь. Перенесите на ткань контуры хорошо подходящей вам облегающей юбки. Подумайте о создании клинообразного выступа по нижнему краю хвоста. Сколите ткань и выкройте детали. Примерьте юбку и отрегулируйте ее ширину. Прошейте или склейте боковые швы. Подумайте о создании V-образного углубления спереди по линии талии. Подверните и прострочите верхний и нижний края юбки. Подумайте о том, чтобы нарисовать на ткани узор из чешуек с помощью клея с блестками.


Choose someone that you have some inside jokes with, or someone who likes the same books or bands that you do or you are close with as a friend and would enjoy them being there. Choose someone who you feel good being with.  When you have decided to ask someone over to your house, don't think ahead.  Thinking ahead can make you nervous about potential outcomes that aren't even a possibility yet.  Just remember that even if you are rejected, it's really not as big a deal as it feels at the time. This will prevent any awkward last-minute cancellations. It can also be beneficial to avoid times that siblings might be around. In order to make more concrete plans, wait until you are both talking enthusiastically about something you both want to do, whether it's to watch a new episode of a T.V. show, or try a new recipe. Make plans as soon as you both agree on an activity that you want to take part in.  For example, "There's a new episode of that TV show out on Wednesday.  Do you want to hang out at my place and watch it then?” Or, “I have all the ingredients for that recipe.  Do you want to make it tomorrow after school?”

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что у вас хорошее взаимопонимание с человеком, которого вы ходите пригласить. Получите разрешение родителей. Выберите подходящий момент, чтобы пригласить подругу к себе.


Choose something with solid, dark lines, so that you can see it through the contact paper when you go to trace it. Even though you will be using clear contact paper, the paper backing will make the design harder to see. This method is suitable for intricate designs and  reverse stencils/silhouettes. Tape your design to a flat surface first, then tape your contact paper over that. Trace over the design using a permanent marker. If you are having trouble seeing the design, tape the whole thing over a bright window. Do not remove the paper backing from the stencil just yet. Remove the contact paper from the template, but don't peel the backing away. Place the contact paper onto a cutting mat, then cut out the designs using a sharp craft blade. If you have any inner designs, save those as well. Figure out where you want the design to go first, then gently set the contact paper down. Start at one end, then smooth it down until you reach the other. Make sue that you flatten out any ripples or wrinkles. If you had any cutouts for inner designs, be sure to stick those down as well. The cardboard only needs to be a little bit bigger than the stencil. This will keep the paint from soaking through the fabric and staining the back of the shirt. Squeeze out some fabric paint onto some sort of palette, then dip a foam brush or a pouncer into it. Gently tap the brush against the stencil; do not drag it past the edges. Avoid using too much paint, otherwise it will loosen the contact paper and leak underneath it. As the paint dries, run your hand inside the shirt, between the fabric and the cardboard. This will prevent the paint from sticking to the cardboard as it dries. Some types of fabric paint need to be heat-set after they dry. Each brand will be a little different, so be sure to read the label on your bottle of paint carefully!

Choose the applications that checked out fine and run credit checks on the applicants to determine whether they have solid credit. In some states you’re responsible for the cost, but in other states you can charge the tenant. It's usually between $25 and $50 per credit check.  Assess the person's credit history. See if there’s a history of late payments. If you see information that's troubling to you, ask the applicant what happened. See if the person has debt. It can be risky to rent to someone who's deep in debt. However, if records show that her or she has been making consistently monthly payments to get rid of the debt, you might not want to hold it against him or her. Hire an agency to find information on the person’s criminal history, eviction history, and so on. Do an online search for trusted agencies, and you'll see dozens of results. While not all landlords do background checks, since they can be costly, a background check can provide plenty of information that will affect your decision. When you're about to enter a lease agreement with someone that could last a year or more, it's worth the relatively small cost of making sure you're renting to someone you can trust.  See if the person has ever been evicted. If so, you’ll need to find out why and be wary of renting to the person until you've received a satisfactory explanation. If the person was evicted for failing to pay rent, you should probably pass on him or her. See if the person has criminal records. It's up to you to determine what your comfort zone is in this area. See if the person has public records indicating they were part of a lawsuit. If they were sued by a previous landlord or for reasons having to do with financial problems, you might not want to rent to them. This step is almost as important as credit and background checks. Talking to other people who have rented to or worked with the applicant in question will give you a much better picture of his or her personality. Call each reference to ask about the person’s history as a...

Choose the bowling ball that's right for you, based its weight and the materials it is made of.  Bowling balls can be made of plastic (the cheapest balls), urethane, reactive resin, or particle. Each of these different materials provides differing degrees of friction, power, and control.  If you can, it's a good idea to experiment with different types and weights of balls before selecting one. Once you drill a ball, it's yours for good. Different finger hole configurations will provide differing amounts of control and power. Choosing the configuration that's right for you will require you to assess your own strengths and weaknesses as a bowler.  A conventional grip is achieved by drilling holes deep enough so that your fingers and thumb are inserted into the ball up to the second knuckle joint. This is the traditional bowling alley ball configuration because it is the easiest to control. It is the recommended configuration for beginners and players of moderate skill. A fingertip grip is achieved by drilling holes that allow your fingers to be inserted into the ball up to the first knuckle joint. This is an advanced configuration that is much harder to control, but provides increased lift, power, and spin.  A semi-fingertip grip is achieved by drilling holes that allow your fingers to be inserted into the ball between the first and second knuckle joint. This is a happy medium between the grips described above and is easier to master than the fingertip grip while providing more power than the conventional grip.  There are also other types of grips, such as the Sarge Easter grip, but the three above are the most common. Measure the distance from the base of your thumb to the points at which the two fingers you will use to hold the ball will bend (some people prefer the forefinger and middle finger while others prefer the middle finger and ring finger).  For a conventional grip, this means measuring from the base of the the thumb to the second crease in the appropriate fingers. For a fingertip grip, measure to...

Choose the sort of bread you want (Italian or Italian herb and cheese are popular choices for this sandwich) and then layer slices of spicy pepperoni, Genoa salami, and Black Forest ham. Make it with cheese, or choose to skip the formaggio (cheese in Italian) and go straight for the veggies. Top it all off with some oil and vinegar. This sandwich is packed with delicious meats and gooey cheese. Try out the 9-grain wheat and lay down some slices of ham, turkey, and bacon. Next, layer some slices of your favorite cheese on top and pop the whole thing into the oven for a couple of minutes. When the the sandwich comes out all melted and toasty, throw on some veggies and your favorite sauce for the final, delicious touches. Whip up some fantastic  meatballs and pour some  marinara on top. Next, add your favorite cheese (mozzarella is always a good way to go) and stick it in the oven until the cheese melts. Delicious!

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте итальянский ВМТ. Сделайте Сабвэй Мэлт. Попробуйте Meatball Marinara сэндвич и пальчики оближешь.


Choose varieties like Braeburn, Fuji, or Gala. You want an apple that's a decent size and sweet, but not too sweet. Wash your apples and twist the stems off. Push a Popsicle stick down into the core. The apples will take to the coating better if they're cold. Put them in the fridge while you're preparing everything else. Chunks about 1" (2.5 cm) are a good, basic size. You're more than welcome to use dark chocolate if that's what your taste buds prefer. And as far as toppings go, well, that ball's in your court entirely! When it comes to add-ons, virtually anything works. Whatever it is, just make sure it's in fine pieces. Crush your Oreos and nuts, mash your Butterfingers and Reese's, and use mini M&Ms. Place your topping in a separate, wide-brimmed bowl. An extra chocolate drizzle will score you points for presentation. When you melt the semisweet chocolate, melt an extra bowl of white chocolate (4 oz will do) to drizzle over the tops. Line it with parchment paper. Spray it with a light layer of cooking spray, if desired, to prevent the apples from sticking.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте яблоки. Измельчите шоколад и дополнительные посыпки. Возьмите вощеную бумагу.


Choose whether to start your garden from seeds or sprouted seedlings. Purchase from a catalog or nursery. You will  also need to determine which garden tools to buy. Gardening can be done by hand with simple tools, but a very large garden may require a tilling machine to loosen the soil. Here's what you'll need:  Seeds or seedlings. Nurseries have good selections of seeds and seedlings and staff who can help you decide which varieties to buy. Fertilizer. A good natural fertilizer will boost your vegetable plants. Work bone meal, blood meal or fertilizer into the soil. Compost works well. Mulch and topsoil. Vegetable plants need to be protected from wind and heavy rain when first planted. Use mulch or simply a fine layer of topsoil. You could cover the soil with loose hay to protect sprouting plants. Pest deterrents. It's a good idea to also purchase products that combat disease and pests. This machine loosens dirt, allowing you to add fertilizer and dig holes for the vegetable plants. For a small garden, simply use a hoe, but for large gardens more than 10 square feet, you may want to buy or rent a soil tiller.  A shovel, a spade, and a garden rake. Use these essential gardening tools to dig holes and to move plants and soil. A ruler or measuring tape. Vegetable plants need to be planted at different depths, so it's useful to measure the holes you make with a ruler. A hose with an adjustable watering feature. The ability to change the water pressure comes in handy. Fencing supplies. Rabbits, squirrels, deer and other animals like to nibble on vegetables, so you may want to construct a fence around your garden. Mark the corners of the garden area with rocks. Clear the area within the borders free of roots, rocks, sticks, weeds, and other large debris. Use the soil tiller, hoe or rake to break up the soil into small pieces, working it to a depth of about 12 inches (30.5 cm), depending on how deep your vegetables need to be planted.  Work fertilizer into the soil with a garden rake. Be sure to distribute it...

TL;DR in Russian:

Choose your yarn based on the color bear you would like to make. You want the knitting to be dense enough that the stuffing does not show through the material so use needles 2-3 sizes smaller than you would normally use for the yarn you have chosen. Casting on is the process of starting the first stitches on the knitting needle before beginning to knit. There are many different methods for casting on depending on your experience level and the look you want to try. Easy beginner methods include the backwards loop cast on and the long tail cast on. Garter stitch is great for this project because it forms a sturdy and flexible piece of knitting. It is also a good stitch for beginners to learn and you can remember it with the poem “back, around, over and under.” When you reach row 32 place a colored thread in the middle of the row to mark the location of the neck. Keep knitting in garter stitch for an additional 34 rows so that you end up with 66 total rows. At each end of this final row, place a colored thread. These colored threads mark where the body stops and the legs begin. Knit 20 stitches, which is half the width of the pattern, and then continue for an additional 39 rows. Cast off at the end of these 40 total rows. This is your first leg. Turn the pattern around and rejoin the yarn to the other 20 stitches on the body of the pattern. Knit 40 rows on this side of the pattern, completing the other leg. Once finished, cast off these stitches. Starting on a new section, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows. Cast off. This forms one of the arms of your teddy bear and will be attached later. Again, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows to create the piece for the second arm of your teddy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Переверните заготовку и свяжите вторую ногу. Свяжите первую руку. Повторите те же самые действия, и свяжите вторую руку.


Choosing to live in a studio apartment means doing without unnecessary items. Go through your belongings and only keep your must-haves. Get rid of worn-out clothes, books you no longer read, and furniture that only gets in the way.  Donate your old belongings to a charity to put them towards a good use. Contact your local thrift store, Salvation Army, or Goodwill. If you struggle with de-cluttering, hire a professional organizer to help. Every inch of floor in your apartment needs to be used effectively. Investing in some sturdy, dual-purpose furniture can help you make the most of your studio apartment. Consider buying a trundle bed that folds into a sofa or coffee tables that double as benches. Buy furniture from companies that specialize in minimalist decor or micro-living. They will likely have dual-purpose furniture options fitting for studio apartments. Once you have set up a basic layout for your furniture and belongings, look for areas in the apartment that are not being used. Look for large patches of blank walls or empty corners. Brainstorm ways you could repurpose those empty areas in a way that best serves your needs.  For example, if the right hand corner of your studio is empty, you could place a beanbag there. You can then repurpose into a reading or relaxing area. Don't go overboard and cram every area of your apartment with stuff. Some empty space is good and contributes to the balance of an apartment. Just make sure that each area has a purpose. A well-placed mirror can make your apartment feel twice as big as it is. Placing mirrors across from a window reflects natural light and makes the room feel more spacious. You could also place a mirror across from a large end table or shelf to make it look like an entire space is tucked into the mirror.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оставьте только необходимое. Выбирайте для своей квартиры только многофункциональные вещи. Найдите незадействованные места в квартире и задействуйте их. Можно развесить по квартире зеркала, чтобы визуально расширить пространство.


Chop the tofu into cubes first. Season it with your desired stir-frying sauce or spices, then let it sit for 30 minutes to marinate. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu, then sauté it for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spatula.  Skip the olive oil, and go for safflower or coconut oil instead. You can use a wok, skillet, or a frying pan for this. Chop the tofu into cubes. Toss it with arrowroot powder or cornstarch, then season it with sea salt. Coat the bottom of a deep skillet with a high-heat cooking oil.  Add the tofu in an even layer, then cook it over high heat. When the tofu turns golden brown, flip it with a spatula. Continue cooking it until it is golden brown all over. The tofu will need about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Fill a saucepan with enough water to touch the bottom of the steamer basket. Heat the water over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, cover the saucepan, and let it steam for 7 minutes. Uncover the saucepan, then serve the tofu as desired. This method works best on unseasoned, non-marinated tofu. Skip the seasoning, and cut the tofu into long strips. Grill it for 5 minutes, flip it, then grill it for 5 minutes more. Remove the tofu from the grill, then add your desired seasoning. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Chop the tofu into cubes, then season it with oil. Toss it with arrowroot powder and sea salt. Spread it evenly across a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake it for 15 minutes, flip it over, then bake it for 15 minutes more. Cut a block of tofu into four thick slices. Prepare the sauce using the ingredients listed below. Pour half of the sauce into an 8 by 6-inch (20.32 by 15.24-centimeter) baking dish, add the tofu, then add the rest of the sauce. Marinate it for 1 hour, flipping the tofu over halfway through, then drain half of the sauce after the hour is up. Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 375°F (191°C) for 30 minutes, flipping it halfway though.  ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) tamari ¼ cup (60 milliliters)...

Chowing down on hot ingredients can get your sweat glands working overtime. It also stokes your metabolism and can even strengthen your immune system, making it a win-win. Cuisines like Mexican, Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese are famous for their fiery fare.  Kick up any meal with a handful of diced hot peppers, a splash of hot sauce, or a dash of cayenne. Have a glass of milk on standby to neutralize the heat if it starts to become unbearable. Fix yourself a steaming mug of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and down it while it’s fresh. The heat will elevate your core temperature from the inside. If you’re already in a warm environment, it won’t take long to get those pores opened up. Hot drinks are a very effective way to warm up in a hurry—that’s part of the reason they’re so popular with skiers, mountain climbers and other cold weather athletes. Make energizing items like coffee, soda, and chocolate a staple of your diet. Caffeine directly stimulates the central nervous system, and sweating is a nervous system response. Just be careful not to overdo it, or it could give you the jitters.  If you don’t do well with coffee, stick to offerings with less-concentrated amounts of caffeine like green tea. When all else fails, grab a canned energy drink. These products often contain as much as 200mg of caffeine per serving. Unwind at the end of a long day with a couple beers or a few ounces of red wine. Even a small amount of alcohol can quickly get your blood pumping. Over time, this can lead to flushing, hot flashes, and (you guessed it) perspiration.  Needless to say, this will only be an option if you’re above the legal drinking age. Avoid drinking to excess. It won’t help you sweat more, but it can impair your judgment and potentially cause embarrassment.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ешьте острую пищу. Выпейте горячего. Употребляйте больше кофеина. Выпейте чего-нибудь алкогольного.

Cilantro should be pruned often to encourage new growth. Older, larger cilantro leaves also tend to be more bitter in flavor, making the herb less desirable if it is left to grow out. When your cilantro plant reaches 6 inches (15 cm), start trimming away stems to use as needed.  Add fresh cilantro to salads, soups, salsa, guacamole, and other dishes. It will usually take 60-75 days after planting for your cilantro to be this height. Use your thumb and forefinger to grasp a stem at its outermost leaves. Trace downwards until your reach a new growth coming in underneath it. Pinch about 0.4 inches (1.0 cm) above the new growth to remove the stem and leaves above it. If you prefer, use scissors to cut the piece instead of pinching it. Avoid pulling off stems, which could damage the remaining plant. Wrap newly picked cilantro stems or leaves in a clean plastic bag. Store the bag in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator. Cilantro will stay fresh and flavorful for up to a week.

Cinching a belt around the waist line of your skirt helps accentuate your figure. If you have a slimmer figure, a belt can help create more curves. For example, wear an A-line skirt with an attractive, colorful belt cinched around the waist. Tuck your shirt in to make the belt visible. With apple and pear figures, you'll want to create balance between your slimmer upper body and wider lower body. Stick to patterned tops paired with solid skirts to flatter your figure. For example, try a cute, floral-patterned top or wild leopard-print blouse, paired with a high-waisted solid-colored skirt. With slim hips, accessories can help you balance out your upper and lower body. Chunky jewelry can help add weight to your upper body. For example, throw on a clunky beaded necklace with a lightweight A-line skirt. Cardigans can be a great accessories to help balance your top and bottom if you have a pear figure. When wearing a skirt, throw a cardigan over a t-shirt and tank top for a cute, flattering look. If it's too warm out for a cardigan, try something similar but lighter, such as a vest. Built-in accessories can be a great way to add more volume to your lower body. If you have a petite frame, look for shirts with bows, pleats, and ruffles to create some dimension and create the illusion of curves.
