Article in English: Lemon juice contains an acid that may help break down melanin pigment and thus reduce the appearance of spots within a month or two. Vitamin C in lemons may directly bleach the skin as well. Cut a lemon into slices and place the slices directly on the brown spots. Leave it on for about 30 minutes and then rinse off with running water. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl and add 2-4 tablespoons of sugar, slowly adding the sugar until it combines with the lemon juice to make a sort of paste.  Apply the mixture to each brown spot with a brush or a cotton swab. Leave the paste on for about half an hour and then rinse it off with cool water. This paste may dry your skin, so be sure to apply a moisturizer after every treatment. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl and add up to 2 tablespoons of sugar (depending on how much juice the lemon had) and two tablespoons of honey, making a goopy paste.  Apply the mixture to each brown spot with a brush or a cotton swab. Leave it on for a half hour and then rinse it off with cool water. The honey provides moisture to protect your skin from over-drying.

Summary in Russian:

Обработайте пятна лимонным соком. Воспользуйтесь сочетанием лимонного сока и сахара. Приготовьте пасту из меда, сахара и лимонного сока.


Article in English: Lemon juice has natural bleaching properties. Plus, it contains vitamin C, which helps with depigmentation. While this likely won't work as well as stabilized over-the-counter formulas, it may help lighten dark areas. Rub freshly squeezed lemon juice onto your dark spots and leave the juice on for about 10 minutes before rinsing. Repeat this treatment 3 times a week. However, don't go out in the sun with the lemon juice on your skin, as that may have the opposite effect. This is a remedy many swear by, and it may work by encouraging skin growth, which means newer, lighter skin on the surface. Apply it with a cotton ball to the dark spots, and then thoroughly wash it off after 5-10 minutes. You can use this treatment 2-3 times a week. Horseradish is naturally high in vitamin C, which may help lighten your skin. Mix it in equal parts with apple cider vinegar and dab it on your dark spots. Leave it for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off. Try this 2-3 times a week. Papaya contains alpha hydroxy acids, which is what's used in some acne cleansers to exfoliate. Therefore, it may help with dark spots. Simply cut up a papaya, removing the skins and seeds. Put the chunks in a blender and add enough water so that it blends smoothly. Then mix in 1 tablespoon (15 mL) each of honey and lemon juice. Cover your dark spots with this mixture, and leave it on for 30 minutes.  You can use green or ripe papaya. Wash it off thoroughly when you're done and apply a moisturizer. You can try this treatment 2-3 times a week. The mask will stay good in the refrigerator for a couple of days. You can buy onion juice in a bottle online or you can simply blend up an onion and squeeze out the juice with a strainer or cheesecloth. Then, dab it on your dark areas, leaving it for 10 minutes before washing it off. Try this treatment 2-3 times a week. These brushes clean deep and get the top layer of dead skin off, which can help with dark spots. In addition, it makes your skin nice and clean for any remedy you apply for the dark spots.

Наносите лимонный сок на гиперпигментированный участок, чтобы осветлить его. Наносите на кожу яблочный уксус на 5–10 минут для стимулирования роста клеток кожи. Попробуйте наносить на кожу хрен. Приготовьте маску против гиперпигментации из папайи, лимонного сока и меда. Наносите на кожу сок лука, чтобы очистить ее с помощью кислоты. Очищайте кожу лица электрической щеткой, если не хотите воздействовать на нее химически.


Article in English: Lemon juice is a natural skin toner and brightener. Keep in mind that lemon juice will make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Do not go out into the sun after using the scrub; it is best to use this at night. While bad for your health, sugar is great for your skin. It will help exfoliate away dead skin cells and reveal the soft, supple skin underneath. This will soften your skin, and make the simple scrub more effective. If you'd like, you can even start your usual bathing or showering routine. Start from the top of your leg, and work your way gradually toward the bottom. If you'd like, you can wash your legs with some soap and water to get rid of any sticky residue. You can also shave your legs at this point. Many people find that shaving just after exfoliating leaves their skin silky-smooth. While great at toning and exfoliating, this mixture can be a little drying, so make sure that you apply some moisturizer after you get out of the shower. If you tend to have very dry skin, consider applying the moisturizer while your skin is still damp; this will help seal in the moisture better.

Summary in Russian:

Выжмите в миску сок одного лимона. Добавьте в миску ¼–½ стакана (55–115 граммов) сахара. Заберитесь в ванну или душ и вымачивайте ноги в течение 5 минут. Возьмите немного смеси сахара и лимонного сока и втирайте ее в кожу ног небольшими круговыми движениями. Смойте смесь водой. Досуха промокните кожу и нанесите увлажняющее средство.


Article in English: Lemon juice is acidic and contains vitamin C. This kind of juice has been used traditionally to lighten areas of skin.  Squeeze the juice from a fresh-cut lemon into a bowl. Wet a cotton ball with the juice and apply it directly to your tanned skin. Leave the juice on your skin for 10 to 20 minutes. Rinse off the lemon juice with warm water when done. Repeat daily to keep fading the tan.  You can also rub fresh slices of lemon along your skin to get the juice on it if you prefer. Even though the bleaching effect becomes stronger in the sun, it is advisable to stay out of the sun while the lemon juice is on your skin. There is no way to predict how much of a bleaching effect the sun might have. Plus, you don't want to exposure your skin to more sun than necessary, especially without sunscreen. Similar to lemons, tomato juice is also slightly acidic and it contains high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants may react with skin pigments and lighten the suntan. Take a tomato and cut it, releasing all the juices on the inside into a bowl. Take a cotton ball and apply it directly to your suntanned skin. Leave the juice on your skin for 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. You can repeat this daily. You can apply slices of tomato directly to your skin if you wish. You can also look for 100% tomato juice in a can from the grocery store and try it. Vitamin E may be useful for fading a suntan because of its antioxidant activity.  You can get Vitamin E naturally through foods, take it as a supplement, and use it as an oil. To get it through food, eat more foods with vitamin E, such as oatmeal, almonds, peanut butter, avocados, and leafy green vegetables. Vitamin E oil can be applied directly to the skin to increase hydration in your skin and help heal the UV damage to your skin that causes suntan. Daily doses of vitamin E supplements should be taken according to manufacturer's instructions. Apricots and papayas contain natural enzymes that may lighten a suntan in some individuals.  Cut slices from...

Article in English: Lemon juice is full of citric acids, which have a bleaching effect when they are repeatedly applied to hair.  You will most likely need to repeat this process several times to see a significant change in your hair color. If you have several hours to mix lemon juice into your hair and sit out in the sun, consider the methods listed in this article: Use Lemon Juice to Lighten Hair. If you are looking for a quicker solution, read on. You will need about one cup of concentrated juice.  You may also use limes, grapefruit, or any other fruit that contains a high concentration of citric acid.  To make your own: Buy or pick four lemons. Slice the lemons in half. Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl, or use a juicing device. Lemon juice is very acidic. Consider mixing 1/4 cup of water into every cup of lemon juice to avoid damaging your hair. If you use shampoo, make sure that it is thoroughly lathered into your hair. Make sure to mix it deeply into the roots. Be sure to shut your eyes tightly to keep out the lemon juice. The citric acid will burn if it makes contact with your eyes. It is important that you give the citric acid time to leach into your hair, but you do not want to leave the mixture in for too long--prolonged exposure to citric acid can damage your hair. The citric acid in lemon juice tends to have a drying effect on hair, and you do not want to risk damaging your locks. Again, you will most likely need to do this several times before you notice a significant difference.

Summary in Russian:

Ополаскивание волос лимонным соком – это самый простой способ осветлить их в домашних условиях. Купите лимонный сок или приготовьте свой собственный. Помойте волосы. Нанесите лимонный сок на волосы, пока они еще влажные. Подождите 2-5 минут, затем смойте лимонный сок и шампунь с волос. Нанесите на волосы кондиционер, чтобы предупредить их пересыхание. Повторяйте процедуру осветления раз в неделю, пока не достигнете желаемого оттенка.


Article in English: Lemon juice is incredibly acidic, leeching out natural oils and disrupting your skin's natural pH. Not only this, but people with sensitive skin will have a much worse time dealing with too much lemon juice. Remember, a little goes a long way. Just because a little is good doesn't mean a lot is better! If your acne is bad and you've got open sores or lesions, lemon juice probably isn't what you want. While it may fight the acne, it probably hurts the surrounding skin, leaving it worse off. You can try using lemon juice on active acne that isn't opened or hasn't been popped. Discontinue if your skin develops redness, irritation, or breaks out. Lemon juice will make your skin particularly susceptible to sun damage.  This is why many people choose to use lemon juice at night instead of the morning, and then wash the lemon juice off when they wake up. If you do choose to use lemon juice on your skin during the day, take care to protect your skin from sunlight: Wear sunscreen, don a hat, etc. If you want to try lemon juice on your skin to heal acne and acne scars, be careful about using other skin-care products in combination with lemon juice. It might be helpful to use lemon juice on your skin on those days when you're not using benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, etc. for your skin-care routine.

Summary in Russian:

Не используйте  лимон непосредственно на вашем лице и не покрывайте все лицо лимонным соком. Не используйте лимонный сок на открытых ранках. Не проводите много времени на солнце после использования лимонного сока. Будьте осторожны используя лимонный сок вместе с другой косметической продукцией.


Article in English: Lemon scent is strong enough to mask and remove odor and the grease-fighting ingredients found in dish detergent can strip away unwanted scents. If you want mothball odor out of your hands, use a lemon-scented dish detergent to wash your hands thoroughly after handling mothballs. For very strong mothball smells, sprinkle baby powder on your hands after washing them and rub it into your skin. This helps further remove mothball odor. Rub a non-gel toothpaste into your hands and wash your hands with it the same way you use hand soap. About a dime-sized amount of toothpaste should sufficiently strip away unwanted smells from mothballs. Baking soda is excellent at absorbing and removing unwanted odors. To remove mothball smell with baking soda, mix baking soda and water together in a bowl until you have a fine paste. Then, rub the paste into your hands. Let it sit on for three minutes before rinsing it off. Tomato juice can effectively remove unwanted smells and odors. To use tomato juice, fill a bowl with tomato juice. Soak your hands in the tomato juice for five minutes before rinsing them off. If this method works for you, this should significantly reduce the smell of mothballs in your hands. Citrus scents can strip away unwanted odors from your hands. Peel an orange and then rub the rinds into your hands. This should help reduce the smell of mothballs on your hands.

Article in English: Lemons contain aromatic substances that have anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Applying lemon juice to the skin before bedtime may reduce itching and help you sleep.  Squeeze undiluted lemon juice on the itchy skin and allow to dry before bedtime. However, lemon juice may cause stinging and burning of any open areas of the skin, so use caution when trying lemon juice to irritated skin. Combining the anti-inflammatory, volatile substances from juniper berries with eugenol (which numbs nerve endings) from clove can help reduce nightly itching.  Make a mixture by melting three ounces of unsalted butter and two tablespoons of beeswax in separate pans. When the beeswax has melted, mix in with the butter. Add five tablespoons ground juniper berries and three teaspoons ground cloves to the mixture and stir. Allow to cool and apply to the affected area before bedtime. The substances in these herbs have anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe itchy skin. Make a tea from mint, basil, or thyme by placing dried leaves or tea bag in boiling water. Cover to keep the aromatic substances from escaping, allow to cool and strain. Dip a clean cloth into the tea and apply to affected areas before bedtime. Aloe vera is a common remedy for burns, but the same substances that reduce blistering and inflammation may also help reduce itching. Apply aloe vera gel over the affected area before bedtime. These contain essential fatty acids that may help keep you skin hydrated. If your itching is a result of dry skin, regular fish oil supplementation may be beneficial.

Article in English: Lemons have a natural calming effect which can relieve nausea and leave you feeling clean and refreshed. Try nibbling on a fresh slice of lemon, squeezing some lemon juice into hot or cold water before drinking or simply sniffing on a freshly cut lemon for some citrus-y relief. You may also find it helpful to keep a stash of lemon candies nearby at all times.  You may also find lemon-scented candles or lemon essential oils good options for surrounding yourself in a fresh, lemon scent. Other citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, orange and tangerine may also help. Ginger has been used to relieve nausea for centuries. Try drinking ginger ale (made with real ginger) or make ginger tea by adding a thin slice of fresh ginger into hot water. If that doesn't float your boat, snack on some ginger cookies or gingerbread, or grab a handful of crystallized ginger candy. Peppermint relieves feelings of nausea and reduces the stomach's gag reflex. Make a peppermint tea by adding a few fresh leaves to some boiling water and leaving to infuse for a few minutes before drinking. You can also try sucking on some peppermint candies. Brew yourself a cup of red raspberry-leaf tea. This herb is popular for a number of pregnancy problems, including morning sickness, and has been shown to relax the smooth muscles of the uterus. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dried herb to a cup of hot water before drinking. However, you should check with your doctor before taking this remedy as there is some evidence that raspberry leaf can cause uterine contractions. Battle unpleasant odors by arming yourself with a small satchel stuffed with dried herbs. Lavender and thyme are particularly appealing since both have soothing and therapeutic scents. Keep the satchel near the nose and breathe in deeply when odors turn your stomach sour. A number of physicians recommend taking a supplement of this vitamin -- the usual dose is 10 to 25 milligrams three times a day -- to combat the nausea of morning sickness. Talk to your doctor before trying a supplement,...

Article in English: Lenders will collect interest for the current month at the closing, so set your closing date for as late in the month as possible to ensure that this amount is low. Closing at the beginning of the month means that you pay for an entire month of interest, but closing at the very end means that you will only pay a small fraction of a months worth of interest.

Article in English: Lending money to friends can really put a friendship at risk. If your friend takes too long in paying the money back, you may hesitate to ask for it and the person might start believing the loan was a gift. If you do not think your friendship (or pocketbook) can withstand an unpaid loan, break the news as gently as possible to your friend. Remember to be as honest as you can. For example, you could say to your friend, "I know you are in a tight spot financially. I really value our friendship, but friends and loans just do not get along. Is there some other way I can help out?” Or, “I just don’t have the extra cash myself to lend. If I could give you the money, I would.” If you know you won't be supporting a donation request, express the importance of the request, turn it down, and give an alternative, if you can. For example, "It sounds like you're working on a great cause, but I just can't work it in right now. I've already pledged my monthly donation funds. You might try x business or ask me again next month." Don't feel obligated to donate to every request. Chances are, you're focusing on your time, business, or finances. Say yes to projects that you really can or want to commit to. Most kids don't like just being told not to do something. If your child wants something that you're not going to give or allow, firmly say no and explain why you're not allowing it. Make sure to express their point of view and then suggest something that they can have or can do. For example, you might say, "No, you can't spend the night at your friend's house during the school week. I don't want you to be too tired for class the next day. I know you're frustrated, but you can always spend the night over the weekend." Never feel obligated when someone asks you for a huge favor. After all, the person probably has no idea what your work or stress load is currently like. You have the choice to say no, even to a personal favor. If the person is a good enough friend, she should understand and not press you. For example, you might...

Article in English: Lenses come with a number of added features, such as scratch-resistant coatings and color-changing features meant to offer ultraviolet protection. While many of these features do effectively provide what they offer, they are also largely unnecessary. If you have a tight budget, skip the extras and stick with a basic prescription lens.  If you purchase your eyeglasses from a department store or popular eyeglasses chain store, you may be able to find coupons in magazines or online. Many carriers cover a portion of the cost for eyeglasses if you buy them at specific places. Depending on your coverage, you could have more or less choice available to you.

Article in English: Leos are often driven by passion and a zest for life. Don't grow complacent in your relationship, and don't stop making romantic gestures.  Consider giving your Leo flowers, a favorite food item, or a handwritten note to show that you are thinking of them. It's important to show that you care, and frequent romantic gestures will help keep the Leo's "attention tank" full. Be spontaneous, and keep trying new things with your Leo. You may be more likely to keep him or her if you can keep the relationship exciting. Grow together. Keep the relationship going by making it a constant process of improvement. If you become complacent, your Leo may get bored and begin to dream of new horizons. Leos like to be the center of attention, although they may be happy to let you stand in the spotlight with them. Make sure that your Leo knows that you are listening to what he or she says.  Consider putting away the cell phone or closing your laptop screen when you're talking with your Leo. If you are present, engaged, and listening to what she has to say, you will demonstrate that there is worth to her words. Offer feedback. Leos may like to lead, but they also like to play and interact with their partners. If you can keep up with your Leo, you will be more likely to earn her respect. Leos can be very attractive, sociable people, and they will often divide their attention into many different projects. If you want to keep your Leo, you will need to be secure enough in your relationship to let him or her explore. Be empathetic, but do not let anyone take advantage of you. It is one thing to accept that your mate keeps a wide range of friends from both sexes, but it is another thing to overlook a cheating partner when you've agreed upon a monogamous relationship. Leos respond well to loyalty and honesty. Continually show your Leo that they are the object of your desire. Be clear about your intentions when it comes to friends and acquaintances. Leos may become jealous if they sense that another person is taking their attention...

Никогда не прекращайте ухаживать за Львом. Будьте внимательны. Будьте уверены. Будьте верны и честны. Общайтесь.


Article in English: Less friction equals less static electricity. Running your fingers through your hair will reduce the amount of friction on your hair, while using a brush can increase it. The more friction and static electricity, the more flyaway hairs. A couple things to note about using shampoo and conditioner to control flyaways:   You don't have to shampoo your hair every day. Shampooing every day is a recipe for dried-out hair. Unless you work in a greasy, sweaty, or dirty place — or your hair desperately needs to be cleaned every day — try to only wash it once every two or three days.   But when you do shampoo, choose an anti-frizz or moisturizing shampoo. Anti-frizz and moisturizing shampoos are packed with moisturizing agents like aloe vera, essentially providing extra safeguards against dryness. When shampooing, focus most of your energy on cleaning your scalp, not drying out your ends. Choose a shampoo that is made for your hair type. For example, if you have curly hair, choose a shampoo that is labeled as curly.  Every time you shampoo, condition. Conditioning your hair helps keep it from drying out and breaking into flyaways and split ends. When you condition, focus mainly on your ends. If you use many styling products in your hair, the build-up over time can cause flyaways. To combat this, use a clarifying shampoo at least once a month. Be sure to condition your hair afterwards. Look for products that have the words "quat" or "amine" in them, as they do a better job of conducting electricity than silicone- or alcohol-based products. Products that conduct electricity better mean fewer flyaways. Hair with too much breakage can cause flyaways as well. It is easier to prevent hair breakage than treat it. Handle your hair gently. Some ways you can prevent hair breakage include:  Using silk pillow cases Putting heat tools such as hairdryers and curling irons on low settings Reducing chemical treatments Choosing cloth elastic bands Remember that taming flyaways is all about keeping moisture locked in your hair. If you...

Article in English: Let a little time go by before you apologize. This will allow both of you to cool off some while giving you time to think about how to make the best apology that you can. Try to get a sense of whether the other person is upset still. Although you will probably recognize it when you see it, expressions of anger may involve clenching of the face or fists, yelling, throwing objects, etc. One surefire way to seem insincere is if you do not take the time to apologize face-to-face after your dispute. In addition, much of the information you convey about how you feel is done through your nonverbal communication channels (i.e., through your body). The only time it is acceptable to not apologize in person is if it would be a great inconvenience to either person to have to meet. For example, if who you wish to apologize to lives very far away, it is not practical to meet in person. There's a good chance that after a dispute, you will regret some of the things that you said or did. Be sure to say what each of this is; don't leave anything out. Be sure to include how your actions impacted the person you are apologizing to so this person knows that you know how he felt. If you want to make sure you don't leave anything out, it can be helpful to write down on paper what you regret so that you can study it before you make your apology and/or refer to it in the moment. After a dispute, it is important to state your regrets sincerely. You can express sincerity with your body language. As you state your regrets, make steady eye contact with whomever you were disputing with. In addition, try to maintain a relaxed body posture, while leaning slightly towards this person.  Above all though, make sure your words are sincere. You can do this by only saying what you mean.

Summary in Russian:

Подождите, пока утихнет спор. Принесите извинения лично. Скажите, что сожалеете о произошедшем. Будьте искренни.


Article in English: Let cool water run over your skinned knee, or pour it over it. Do this long enough to make sure that the water has flowed over the entire area, and washed away any loose dirt and/or debris. Use antibacterial soap and water to clean around the wound, but try not to get soap in the wound itself, as this can cause irritation. This will help to wash away bacteria and keep away infection. Hydrogen peroxide and iodine were traditionally used to disinfect skin wounds, such as a skinned knee. However, hydrogen peroxide and iodine can actually damage living cells, so medical professionals now advise that you should not apply them to a wound. If anything is stuck in the wound, like dirt, sand, splinters, etc., use tweezers to carefully remove this material. First clean and sterilize the tweezers by rubbing them with a cotton ball or gauze soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Rinse with cool water once the debris is removed. If dirt or other material is lodged so deep in the wound that you cannot get it out, contact a doctor. Once you have rinsed and washed the skinned knee, gently use a clean cloth or towel to dry the area. Patting rather than rubbing it dry will help you avoid unnecessary pain. This can deter infection and help the wound as it heals.  There are numerous types of antibiotic creams and ointments, containing different active ingredients or combinations (bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin, for example). Always carefully follow the directions provided with your cream regarding the amount to use and method of application. Some creams have mild analgesics incorporated as pain relief. Some ointments and creams may cause an allergic reaction in some people. If you notice redness, itching, swelling, etc. after using one of these products, stop using it and try another one with a different active ingredient. Make sure to cover your skinned knee with a bandage, to protect it from dirt, infection, and irritation from clothing during the time it needs to heal. You can use an adhesive bandage, or sterile gauze held in...

Article in English: Let down the top section of your hair. Divide the top section down the middle into two sides. Working from the back, isolate a section of hair. The section of hair should be about 3 inches (9 mm) thick in diameter. Position the blade two to three inches (or more) from the root of your hair. Place the razor at a 45 degree angle relative to your hair. Using very light pressure, move the razor in short, choppy motions from the middle down to the ends of your hair. Since the hair at the top of your head is the most visible, make sure to use very light pressure and work slowly. Remember, you can always go back and remove more hair if it isn't enough. Make sure to use the comb to remove the loose hair as you cut. Do this for the rest of the sections at the top of your head until you have razor cut all of the sections. Once you have cut all of your hair, brush through your hair one final time to remove any loose hair. Your hair should feel much lighter.

Article in English: Let him decide if he wants to have lunch near you, rather than always rushing to eat near him. If he works in another department, don’t spend too much time there or he might feel that you’re being intrusive.  You can send plenty of signals that you’re interested without crossing his boundaries. Remember, no one wants to feel like they’re being sexually harassed at work. If they feel harassed, this could land you in trouble! Some workplaces actually prohibit employees from becoming romantically involved. Others have strict policies about the kind of communication that is allowable while on the clock. Don’t do anything to jeopardize either of your jobs. If it has to wait until after work, let it. Check the employee handbook. If you didn't get a copy, there might be one in the breakroom or office. It could also be available digitally. This can be the hardest part, but it’s almost bound to happen. No matter how subtle you both are, people are sure to notice what’s going on. Workplace gossip helps relieve the boredom of routine, so expect questions and rumors.   Gossip can work in your favor. If your crush wasn’t sure of your intentions, hearing a rumor might help him get the full picture. Decide whether you want to dismiss rumors or be honest about your feelings. This can help you or backfire, so choose wisely. Remember that the things you tell someone in confidence will likely make their way around the office eventually. It’s very common for people to see workplace flirting as a way to get ahead in the company. First, you need to be honest with yourself that this is not what’s going on. Then let anyone who asks know that you would never engage in flirting simply to advance your career. This may not happen every time, but it is more likely if the guy has a higher position than you. With online dating apps, you can easily flirt with (and date) multiple guys at once, and no one has to know. At work, things are quite different. Even if your crush doesn’t realize that you’ve also been flirting with the guy in the...

Article in English: Let him know that you like him by making an effort to look nice whenever you're around him. You should still be yourself, but take extra care with your hair and makeup and outfits, so he can start to notice you. You don't have to wear a tight dress and high heels if you're at a baseball game with him, but let him know that you care about your looks when you're around him..  Don't be afraid to be a little sexy. If you're comfortable with your body, show it off. If you're not comfortable with a lot of makeup, then you shouldn't try to look like someone else just to impress him. Try wearing a little lip gloss, and applying it in front of him. This will make him pay more attention to your lips. Your body language can let the guy know that you think of him as more than a friend. When you're talking to him, turn your body toward him and make eye contact to show that he means a lot to you. Don't be distracted by turning your body away, looking around, or checking your phone. The more you flirt with the guy, the more he'll be sure that you like him. You can start off by flirting subtly and work your way up to being more obvious. Once you get closer to the guy, don't be afraid to gently hit him on the arm or shoulder if he's said something funny. You can make physical contact if you're teasing each other, or even give him a big hug when you meet up, if it feels right. Breaking the touch barrier will help him see that you want to get closer to him.  Just make sure that he wants to touch you too and that you're not making him uncomfortable. If you're getting close with the guy and just came back from a run together or some other form of physical activity, offer to give him a massage. If he likes you, he'll say yes, and he'll start to see how good you can make him feel. It can be tricky to compliment a guy without making it too obvious that you like him. You don't have to say, "Wow, you're so hot" to let a guy know that you like him through some subtle compliments. If he got a new haircut or is wearing an obviously new...

Summary in Russian:

Уделяйте внимание своему внешнему виду. Проявите свои чувства к нему языком телодвижений. Флиртуйте с ним. Сломайте барьер прикосновений. Сделайте ему комплимент. Спросите, нравится ли ему кто-то. Скажите ему, что ваше сердце свободно. Сделайте так, чтобы он пригласил вас на свидание.


Article in English: Let him make the first move. It might be hard to wait, but stay strong. A least then when he contacts you, you will know that he was thinking about you and that he's ready to take a step forward in your relationship, whatever that might be. If you push him too soon, he might pull in the other direction.  Once he contacts you, don't play hard to get. Respond in a timely fashion and be perfectly sweet and polite. After he has made contact, you can suggest meeting up to talk in person. Go for somewhere neutral where you can have a private conversational, but can leave easily if things take a turn for the worse. A cafe or public park would be perfect. Sometimes the bad things that happen at the end of a relationship can overshadow all the good that came before. Remind this guy why he fell in love with you in the first place.  Spark his memory by wearing the same perfume you wore on your first date, or a piece of clothing he thought you looked good in. Reminisce about some of the great times you had together. Make him remember how he felt about you when times were good. Don't rush headfirst back into the relationship. Take time to talk things through and make sure the two of you are on the same page. Ensure that you both know what you need to work on and are willing to give things a chance.  Try dating again. Go out for dinner, go bowling or go see a movie together. Spend short, concentrated periods of time together. Get to know one another all over again. If you try to pick up exactly where you left off, then history is doomed to repeat itself. If the two of you have worked through your issues and you're both willing to make a fresh start, be thankful for it. Look on this as a brand new relationship, with no baggage attached. Forget about what happened in the past and focus on your future together.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Let it at least sit overnight if you added the mint; this will allow the flavour to penetrate. While the haloumi cheese can be eaten as it is, it can also be served in one of the following ways:  Cut the cheese into slices or cubes, then fry haloumi in a little olive oil until crisp and browned. Fry as above, then add some fresh herbs and cherry tomatoes into the pan and briskly cook until tomatoes are hot and just starting to break open. Season with black pepper, a lemon wedge and a little salt to taste. Great with a good bread such as Turkish bread to sop up the juices. Use fried haloumi in tapas or antipasto style snacks. It is also a delicious vegetarian alternative to white meats.

Summary in Russian:

Храните сыр до использования в холодильнике. Подавайте.


Article in English: Let it sit out until the temperature of the water is roughly the same as the room's temperature. You can use your finger to test the water's temperature.  The time it takes your water to cool depends on how hot or cold it was when you poured it. Room temperature water tends to mix better with ginger and lemon. Pour the lemon juice from earlier into your glass of water. Use a spoon to stir the mixture until the lemon juice is thoroughly mixed in. Pour the grated ginger into your water. Use a spoon to mix the ginger until you have an even mixture. You can now drink your ginger water. If you want to cool your beverage, you can add ice. Ginger water generally lasts for about a day after mixing. If you don't finish your water right away, store it in the fridge overnight.

Article in English: Let it soak in for a few minutes. Hold the clothing under water and use a toothbrush or sharp knife to scrape off the gum. Place the area with the gum at the mouth of a kettle or any other pot that produces concentrated steam when water is boiled in it. Allow the gum to absorb the steam before scraping it off. Scrub a toothbrush in small circles over the affected area until the gum loosens. You may have to continue to dip the clothing in the vinegar several times to apply a fresh soaking of the liquid. Be sure to wash off the toothbrush as it becomes full of gum.

Article in English: Let rest for 15 minutes, then agitate the curds with a slotted spoon. Let rest another 15 minutes. Heat the pan gently to 38ºC/100.4ºF, rest another half an hour. During this process the curds will expel more whey. This is easiest done with a slotted spoon, mesh-straining spoon, or a sieve. Do not throw away the surplus whey––put the lid or cling film onto the pan again and set the whey aside after all curd has been removed. Place a large heavy weight on a saucer, then place this on top of the curds to compress them and expel more liquid. This will take at least 1 hour. 5kg / 11lb is a recommended mass. A large pot full of water works well. Pressing the weight to expel more whey does speed up the process, but should not be done to excess as you will split the curds and make them crumble. Aim to cut slices that will fit easily into your storage container.

Article in English: Let the air completely fill your lungs. Resist the urge to exhale quickly before you've fully inhaled. It definitely takes some practice, since most of us are in the habit of taking quick, shallow breaths instead of long, deep ones. Focus on breathing in as much as you can through your nose, which has tiny hairs that filter out dust and toxins so they can't reach your lungs.  As we go about our days, we often breathe in a quick, shallow way without being conscious we are doing so. Daily stresses distract us from being aware or mindful of the way we are breathing. Deep breathing will help you be more mindful of your body. Feel the air enter your lungs and fill them up. When you're concentrating on taking a deep breath, your worries are pushed aside for the time being. As you draw in a deep breath, let your stomach expand by an inch or two. The air should travel all the way to your diaphragm, causing your belly to round out as it fills. If you watch a baby sleep, you see that babies belly-breathe naturally. Their stomachs, not their chests, rise and fall with each breath. As adults, we get conditioned to take shallow breaths instead of belly breaths. When we hold in our emotions, we tend to suck in our stomachs, tensing up rather than relaxing when we breathe. When you learn how to breathe properly, this tension goes away.  Lay down, stand, or sit upright as you breathe. It's more difficult to draw in a full breath if you're in a slouched position. Place one hand on your belly, and the other on your chest, as you inhale. You can tell you're breathing deeply and properly if the hand on your belly rises out further than the one on your chest as you inhale. Let out your breath slowly through your nose. As you breath out, pull in your belly toward your spine. Exhale all of the breath in your lungs. After you exhale, take in another deep breath through your nose and continue breathing deeply. Try to exhale for twice as long as you inhale, and fully expel the air. Inhaling and exhaling counts as 1 time. This...

Article in English: Let the bulb cool to room temperature before you handle it. Many recessed fixtures hold the bulb in with a metal collar. These are often removable, but follow the instructions below to avoid damaging your ceiling. This is not necessarily the large ring that holds in the entire fixture, although it can be. Look closely for a second ring flush against the light bulb. If someone has painted over the ring, it may rip away pieces of drywall when you unscrew it. To avoid this, cut the paint around the ring with a utility knife, working it against the collar. Now try the steps below until you find one that works for your model. If you're lucky, your collar is simply held in place by a couple of screws. Some models have a small metal button, which you push or slide sideways to free the fixture. Some models can be twisted or pulled out by hand. Use light pressure only, unless you have confirmed this is the intended approach with a manual or the manufacturer. Here are two examples of light fixtures you can remove this way:  Modern recessed halogen lights often have a plastic collar with three tabs. Press your fingers against these tabs and rotate counterclockwise. Once you have access to the bulb, grip the base and the wire and wiggle them apart.  Some recessed LED light fixtures can be pulled directly out of the ceiling. Watch your fingers, as a sharp metal clip will pop downward from the edge as the fixture emerges. You can then unclip the bulb from the wire. Some older halogen fixtures use a small, toothed, metal ring with no special fastener. Carefully insert a flathead screwdriver in between the ring and the light bulb, and pry outward. There is a gap in the ring, so you can flex it outward and carefully pull it down with your fingers. Grip the base of the bulb and gently wiggle the two prongs out of the socket to remove it. Take care not to chip the glass with the screwdriver. If there is no obvious fastener for the ring, but it refuses to twist out, it may be jammed. Try gently pushing up on the light bulb with...

Article in English: Let the cat relax and calm down in your holding area until the appointment. Let it have some water and try to keep the environment as calm and quiet as possible. You might put a tarp or blanket down on your backseat, just in case the cat decides to urinate or spray in your car while being transported. Remember, this is an extraordinarily weird experience for the cat, so be prepared for it to act out. When it's time for the appointment, carry the cat very gently and slowly, making smooth movements and keeping your hands far from the openings and gaps in the cage. Drive the cat to the appointment and let the vets take control of the situation. Make sure the veterinary office knows the cat is feral. Speak gently to the cat in a soothing voice and keep the situation calm. Don't play loud music or drive with the windows down. Your vet will advise you on the basic procedures, and you'll be able to keep the cat for a few hours overnight in your holding area before releasing it or taking it where you wish. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to relocate cats unless there is no other choice, or the regular habitat is in some way dangerous for the animal. If this is something that must be done, contact your local animal shelter for tips on other options, or research no-kill shelters in your area if it comes to that.

Article in English: Let the cooker preheat before you transfer your food into the pot so your food doesn't cool down. The “Keep Warm” setting keeps the food near 170 °F (77 °C) for however long you leave it on.  Slow cookers work best with wetter foods, like soups, stews, sauces, or mashed potatoes. Your food may continue cooking slightly or it may change in texture the longer you leave it in the pot. Once you turn the power off, you can safely keep the food warm in the pot for up to 2 hours. Preheat your oven to the lowest setting and transfer your hot food into an oven-safe pan. Set the pan on the middle rack and keep it in the oven for up to 2 hours. Check the temperature of your food with a thermometer after 20 minutes to make sure it is above 140 °F (60 °C). If not, turn up the temperature slightly. Fill a large pan halfway full of water and set it on a medium-low setting on the stove. Check the temperature of the water with a thermometer to make sure it is around 160 °F (71 °C). Place another pot or pan with your food in it in the middle of the water bath.  You can use this method as long as you keep the stove at low heat and replace any evaporated water with warm water. Stir your food occasionally to prevent it from burning on the bottom. Remove the cap on the fuel with a blunt object, such as a spoon. Place the chafing fuel container underneath the catering dish before you light it with a multipurpose butane lighter. The fuel will burn for up to 2 hours before it runs out. Extinguish the fuel with the cap or a snuffer when you're finished using it.  Always use caution when you work with an open flame. Chafing fuel can be purchased in a gel or wick form. Both will work the same way.

Within a matter of hours, the Play-Doh should be soft, supple, and as good as new! The exact time will depend on how much dough and water you've used. Don't take the Play-Doh out of the bag until it looks fairly dry. If the dough is still very wet, the color might bleed off onto your hands.

Article in English: Let the fries cook for about 1 to 2 minutes before you flip them over with a flat spatula. Then, heat the fries for another minute and flip them again so they're hot on every side. If you're reheating skinny french fries, you'll probably only need to heat them for 2 to 3 minutes, while thick steak fries will take closer to 5 minutes.

Article in English: Let the merchant or online seller know that your glasses were counterfeit, and you would like your money back.  Hopefully, the seller will cooperate and give you your money back.  If they do not, let them know that you plan to contact your credit company.  This may encourage them to work things out with you. As you go back and forth with the seller, keep documentation of all the emails, receipts, and packing slips regarding your purchase.  If you have to contact your credit card company, all of this information will be helpful.  This will also create proof if the seller lies about the product that you were sold.  You can also take pictures of your glasses that you purchased. If you entered the model number into the sunglasses manufacturer website and the number did not match, print out a copy of that page as well to use for evidence. If you used a card to pay for your glasses, you can request a charge-back.  File the purchase as a billing error. It's best if you do this as soon as possible so you do not look suspicious to your credit card company. You can file this report on your credit card company's website. If you cannot find the information on the website, call your credit card company for assistance. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) if you find that your sunglasses are counterfeit. After you submit your complaint, the BBB will forward the information to the business within 2 business days.  The business will have 14 days to respond to the complaint that you filed.  The BBB will notify you of the business's response.  Most complaints are closed within 30 business days. Go to the website or Yelp page of the company where you purchased your sunglasses and leave an honest review of your experience.  Let people know that the glasses you purchased were fake.  Also discuss how the issue was resolved. If the seller gave you trouble, let everyone know.  If the seller was easy to work with, let everyone know that as well.

Article in English: Let the oven heat completely before you place your steel inside. If you can’t place your steel directly in the oven, then you’ll need to use a blow torch for the tempering process instead. Use a smaller toaster oven if your piece of steel fits inside. That way, you can still use your oven for the rest of the evening. Set your steel directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Let your oven heat the piece of steel. During the tempering process, the steel heats up enough to soften the alloys inside to make it less brittle. Once the steel’s been heated for 3 hours, let the steel cool slowly. This allows the steel to normalize and keep its hardened structure. Take the steel out of the oven the following morning. If you tempered the steel with a blow torch, set the metal on an anvil or another large steel surface to conduct the heat.

Article in English: Let the person you are talking to know that you are interested in the conversation by continuing to make eye contact. If you are constantly looking in other directions, he might think you don't want to talk to him. People will want to talk to you if you show interest in their lives and what they have to say. Show them you want to get to know them by taking the time to listen closely and asking them to tell you more.  If you're just getting to know a person, ask lots of questions about her work, her family, and her interests.  Ask open-ended questions and avoid ones with "yes" or "no" answers. For example, instead of asking if they like sushi, ask them what they think of the new sushi bar. Frame your responses in reference to the other person. For example, if they tell you about their busy schedule, say, "You must not have much time to relax," instead of "I know what it's like to not have any downtime."  You can also show that you are attentive and interested by interjecting with affirmative phrases, like "Uh-huh" or "Wow" while the other person is telling a story. When it's your turn to speak, restate key points or summarize what the other person was saying. This shows them you were attentive and care about what they had to say. In addition to avoiding any controversial topics, you should also steer clear of talking about anything that might be a sore subject for your conversation partner. It's not always possible to predict this, but if you listen carefully, you may be able to avoid some blunders. For example, if the person says he was recently divorced, avoid talking about relationships. Instead, steer the conversation in a more positive direction. If you want people to enjoy talking to you, you need to make sure you have the right energy. Even if you're not feeling very positive, remember that the people you have just met do not want to hear about your complaints.  Remember to keep smiling throughout the conversation. Laugh when it's appropriate. If you can't think of anything positive to talk about, ask...

Article in English: Let the relationship develop at its own pace. Coming on too strong early will almost certainly creep her out. Gradually get stronger feelings for her as you go on with the relationship together. Most girls like people with confidence, not an ego. Just walk up to her and start a simple conversation. She'll get the hint that you are interested in her. Start with a simple conversation starter:  "That's a really nice dress. Where is it from?" "I'm sorry, I'm new here. Can you tell me where the library is?" "Hi, my name is [your name]. You look like you're interesting to talk to. Do you mind if I steal a couple minutes of your time?" This is not the same thing as flirting with other girls, which is probably not a good move. Being around other girls tells the girl that you're really interested in that other girls find you safe, reliable, and easy to be around. If you get other girls to indirectly vouch for you like this, you've made a big step. Make friends with her friends if it's not too big of a step. We know that it can be overwhelming, but just try. If her friends like you, you'll have a better chance of winning her over.  After all, girls often turn to their friends for advice and for a second opinion. Make sure they have a high opinion of you. Women take pride in smelling clean and looking kempt! That means if a man has good hygiene, it works really well on her. The opposite, bad hygiene, is usually an immediate deal-breaker. Believe it or not, fresh, clean-smelling hair is a really good thing.  And, a fresh-smelling body is a must-have. Here are three things that you can do right now to improve your hygiene:  Rain or shine, sweat or not, shower daily. If you can afford it, it's better to be too-clean than not clean enough. Take pride in how clean you are and in smelling nice. Especially if you play sports, this step is a must.     Shave or groom your facial hair daily. Most women like men who don't carry facial hair: it's prickly and unlikely to look good unless you're an adult. So shave that stubble away...

Article in English: Let the rest of the costume do the talking. In days of yore, no pirate was donning floral-printed pants, so don't worry about your pants making a statement. If preferred, you can wear a long skirt with petticoats underneath. It's best if it billows out, to allow freedom of movement. This is something female pirates might like to wear in place of trousers. You could paint stripes on a plain pair of pants to give them more of a pirate vibe. Use fabric paint to paint on vertical stripes. The color can be matched to the pants or any other part of your pirate outfit. Perhaps you're part of a pirate gang? Another alternative is to wear pants but to wear a coat tailored to hug around the front with tails in the back like a full skirt. This would probably be something you need to sew yourself or have tailored, but it can be a nice combination of pants and dress. Keep it plain and dark in color; if it fits the vibe of your pirate, leave it unbuttoned so that your shirt or t-shirt can be seen underneath. Classier pirates may want to be proper and stay buttoned-up. For a colder night, wear a very long, free flowing overcoat. It can have seen better days, provided it's not a tight fit. Search in thrift stores for such a coat. Again, it's best kept a darker color but can be colorful or patterned if you're a flamboyant pirate.

Article in English: Let the well-wishers know how wonderful they are, and how much you appreciate them. You can use more specific compliments that match your friends', or use these examples:  Thank you, that's such a kind thing to say! Thank you, you've been a bright and wonderful part of my life. I'm so lucky to have a group of friends like you. Give yourselves a pat on the back for being such great friends this past year. Let your friends know you appreciate the positive effect they have on your life. Here are a couple examples:  Your message gave me a smile that lasted all day. It was so wonderful to hear from you. You made my birthday so special. If you're posting a mass thank you message on social media, sometimes you want to stand out a little. Try one of the following ideas:  Say something funny, like "It feels great to have so many friends wishing me a happy birthday. You can all have 1/207 of my birthday cake."  Say "Thank you!" in different languages. Try Salamat!, Foole tunk!, or pick your favorites by searching online. Link to a video. There are many "thank you" videos available online, or you can find a clip from your favorite movie, band, or cute animal acting excited. Sometimes, it feels great to communicate your sincere, deep appreciation for a full year of kindness and support. Tweak these examples to include specific events in your life for greater effect:  I feel blessed every day, but most of all on the day when my friends send a flood of support and smiles. Thank you everyone for reminding me what matters on my birthday this year."  It's been a difficult year, but the support of my friends and family made all the difference. My heartfelt thanks to all of you who helped get me back on my feet and face the next year with a smile instead of a frown.

Article in English: Let them know about your concerns. The teacher, or another professional, will begin collecting information about your child's scholastic performance.   Once enough information has been collected, the teacher or learning specialist will provide your son or daughter with a series of learning strategies or supplemental learning activities. A school cannot collect information about your son or daughter without your written consent. Make sure that your son or daughter's weaknesses are actually being addressed in the supplemental learning plan that has been provided by the specialist. Do the expectations of the learning plan accurately address your son or daughter's needs? These routines are designed to help your son or daughter become a more-effective student. Furthermore, this routine will help learning specialist more accurately diagnose a specific type or kind of LD. Like any exercise, however, these activities will only work if they are followed exactly as planned. No further action is usually taken if these learning plans produce positive results. The "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" ensures free-screening for your child. So, if your son or daughter does not show any significant improvement from the activities that have been provided by your learning specialist, then you should have your son or daughter formally evaluated.  Your son or daughter's teacher will be able to provide you with more information regarding the process. Formal screening will include a series of tests and interviews. The committee may suggest special education. " After the committee has finished evaluating all of the information, you will meet with them to create an "Individualized Education Program" for your son or daughter. This program will outline the learning objectives for your child, and will also provide you with information regarding the services that your school or school district offers.

Article in English: Let them know you are setting up a three-way call. Pressing this button places the first caller on hold. This button is also called hook-switch, link, or recall. Your phone may not have a clearly labeled flash button. If you can’t located this button, try one of the following options:  Tap your cell phone or cordless phone’s “Call” button.  Quickly press your landline’s receiver-disconnect button.  If your “Call” button doubled up as your flash button, press “Call” again. Let them know they are joining a three-way call.  If they do not pick up, tap your phone’s flash button twice. This will disconnect the second call and return you to the first conversation.  If you get their voicemail, press * three times. This will disconnect the second call and return you to the first conversation.  At anytime, one of the two people you called may hang up. You will remain on the phone with the other individual.  To disconnect from your second friend, press your phone’s flash button. You will remain on the phone with the first friend you called.

Article in English: Let them know you want to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. You don't have to get awkward and directly ask, “What ways do you like having sex?” Instead, express that you care about their likes, dislikes, and boundaries in an appealing, relaxed way. While it's helpful to talk about likes and dislikes ahead of time, talking about turn-ons can also be really sexy in the moment. Say something like, “So where's your favorite spot to be kissed?” or “Tell me about something you've always wanted to try in bed.” Asking someone what they enjoy sexually or what they fantasize about puts them in a vulnerable position. Let them know that they can trust you and that you won't laugh at them or judge them.  Confiding something about yourself first can help them feel more at ease with you. Try telling them how you like to be touched or a position that you enjoy. Talking about preferences in advance can make sex more enjoyable, but you don't need to go overboard and make each other uncomfortable. You and the person you're into don't have to share your deepest, darkest fantasies, especially if you don't know each other very well. It's one thing to say that you like having your ear nibbled on or neck kissed. However, don't go into too much detail about your experiences or talk about past lovers as if they were conquests.  No one wants to hear all about the last person their date slept with, and bragging about sex is a major mood killer. You can say "I like kisses on my neck," but don't say "Man, it really turned me on when my last girlfriend kissed my neck and gave me hickies." You don't want to make turn-offs the main topic of your conversation. However, the experience will be more fun and less awkward if you know that a spot is extra sensitive or a position is uncomfortable for your partner. While it's good to check in now and then, asking, “Are you alright?” every 30 seconds is a turn-off. Be attentive to their body language, and try to stay in the moment instead of overthinking things.

Summary in Russian:

Шутите, чтобы расположить человека к себе и растопить лед. Дайте человеку понять, что вы не будете осуждать его. Упомяните о своих предпочтениях, но не хвастайтесь своими сексуальными подвигами. Спросите человека, что ему не нравится.


Article in English: Let this sit for a few minutes. Note: It is highly advised that you do a test patch on a piece of carpet out of sight first, as the lubricant might stain the carpet permanently, in which case you'll end up with a stain worse than before. WD-40 seems to be a pretty safe bet though. If you have a selection of lubricants to pick from, choose it. A carpet cleaner will also work, but why waste the extra product when soap will be just fine? Massage the soap into the stain, removing both the lubricant and the ink. Even soap can leave an unpleasant residue, so give it a rinse with clean, warm water. Be especially concerned with the edges of the stain, as that's the easiest part of it to miss. Your carpet should be good as new! Run it through your fingers or vacuum it up to return it to its natural texture.

Summary in Russian:

Распылите смазку, например, WD-40 или Triflow, на пятно. Удалите пятно губкой и теплой мыльной водой. Прополощите теплой водой. Дайте высохнуть.


Article in English: Let your Aries man always think that he is the pursuer and you are his lovely catch. He sits naturally in the role and loves nothing more than an old fashioned chase. So don’t make it easy for him and enjoy the attention he pores on you as he slowly circles you and draws you in. This is the best position for you to be in to get an Aries man.  Take pleasure in knowing that you are actually dictating the moves while he is none the wiser. But don't be the mouse that runs away and can't be seen anymore -- stay just out of his reach. Let him think he's making progress and about to get you. If he doesn't see progress happening, he'll find another mouse to play with. Aries loves a woman who can challenge him mentally. Don't be afraid to start an intellectual debate with him to get his brain juices running. He should be in awe of you just as much as you're in awe of him!  However, be careful with this. He likes being on top. If you prove him wrong, he may get emasculated and not be able to handle it. Give concessions. Agree to disagree or tell him that he's made valid points that are getting you thinking. He really likes debating -- he also really likes winning. There is no room for boredom in Aries' life. The second they get bored, they go elsewhere seeking fulfillment and excitement. So seek adventure yourself! Suggest dates that are exotic and a little crazier than your typical dinner and a movie. Go to an amusement park, go hiking, or go on an impromptu road trip. Keep it spicy! Not only is this good advice for Aries, but it's good advice for everyone. Ever heard of the Capilano Bridge Experiment? Turns out there's such a thing as a "misattribution of arousal" -- meaning that when your body gets aroused (be it from heights or horror, etc.), you don't know why -- and you attribute it to the sexiness of your partner! Aries (fire signs in general, really) tend to have a few characteristics that others find off-putting: They can be selfish, jealous, temperamental, childish, and moody. When this side breaks out, it's...

Article in English: Let your bag of lemons sit in the freezer until they are fully frozen. Depending on the temperature of your freezer, this could take anywhere from 2 hours to overnight. Use fresh lemons for meals that you are making later in the week, and freeze the other lemons well in advance of when you need to use them.

Article in English: Let your boyfriend know you want to have a conversation about your relationship. Telling him ahead of time lets him get prepared for the conversation, so you're not blindsiding him out of the blue. It also gives you a chance to pick a good time to talk.  If you pick a time, it can keep you from blowing up in anger in the moment he flirts because you've had a chance to talk about it. When you do talk, make sure you have some time to do it, and you turn off the electronics so you don't get distracted. Start the conversation from what you're observing and how it makes you feel. That way, you start out by helping your boyfriend see where you're coming from. You don't want to blame him, as that will just put him on the defensive. Focus on what you're feeling. You could start by saying, "I notice girls flirt with you a lot. I like that you're attractive. It's one of the things that made me want to date you in the first place. However, it upsets me when you engage in the flirting instead of trying to shut it down." You may know why flirting is a trigger for you. For instance, maybe you've had flirtatious boyfriends in the past who ended up leaving you or another girl, and therefore, when your boyfriend flirts, you're afraid he's going to leave you for another girl.  You may need to spend some time thinking about the problem to figure out why the flirting bothers you so much. Often, it comes down to trust. You could tell him, "Flirting bothers me because my old boyfriend, Jake, used to flirt all the time, and you know he left me for another girl." Now that you've started the conversation and explained how you're feeling, you should give your boyfriend a chance to have his say, too. For instance, he may not even realize he's flirting or maybe he didn't realize how much it upset you. Maybe to him, it's just being nice to other people.  Pay attention to what he's saying, instead of trying to think of the next point you're going to bring up. Don't just focus on your hurt. Listen to his feelings and intentions. Nod and...

Article in English: Let your child drink plenty of fluids during the day, and make sure he or she drinks a glass of water with dinner, but try to avoid liquids after that. Take special care to avoid caffeinated drinks (like sodas). These can increase the production of urine. Encourage your child to empty his or her bladder immediately before bedtime. This will reduce the likelihood of a full bladder overnight. Overcoming bedwetting is often a matter of agreement between the bladder and the brain; make this possible by sticking to a routine so that your child’s body “learns” to hold urine during specified times. Certain foods may cause allergic reactions in your child, even if they do not produce a rash or other external signs, or may irritate the bladder or otherwise increase the odds of an accident. If your child is struggling to stay dry at night, consider keeping a food journal and noting any correlation between certain foods and nighttime accidents. Particular culprits seem to be spicy and acidic foods, which can irritate the bladder, and milk and other dairy products, which can cause sleepiness and make it harder to wake up when the bladder is full. Some experts believe low levels of calcium and magnesium may contribute to bedwetting. In addition to dairy products, calcium and magnesium are found in bananas, sesame seeds, beans, fish, almonds, and broccoli. Until your child learns to wake up and go to the bathroom when his or her bladder is full, you might set an alarm and interrupt his or her sleep purposefully. You can start by waking your child up every two or three hours and extend this period gradually over time, until your child is sleeping through the entire night and waking up dry. Feeling cold can increase the need to urinate, so make sure your child is warm enough while sleeping. If your child continues to struggle with bedwetting, keep a detailed journal of his or her accidents, including their timing. You may notice patterns, which will make it easier to pinpoint causes and wake your child at an appropriate time...

Summary in Russian:

Ограничьте потребление жидкости перед сном. Прямо перед сном сходите в уборную. Придерживайтесь постоянных действий перед сном. Обратите внимание на то, что ваш ребенок ест. Убедитесь, что ваш ребенок получает достаточное количество кальция и магния. Попробуйте будить вашего ребенка в течение ночи. Избегайте холодного. Ведите дневник. Применяйте положительную поддержку.


Article in English: Let your child tell you what it is they're afraid of at nighttime. But don't force your child to tell you if they're not ready. Keep in mind as well that a child's fear may differ depending on his particular stage of development. For example, younger kids have a harder time telling the difference between what is real and what is imaginary.  Never respond by calling your child's fear "ridiculous" or "stupid." Instead, accept your child's fear and work with them to try to overcome it. Remember that you were once a child and likely had lots of silly fears too!   Try talking about your child's fears during the day, when they're not afraid. Discuss strategies regarding how they can be less scared at bedtime. Additionally, build your child's self-confidence during the day; comment on their "bravery" and what a "big boy" or girl they are. The idea is that if he feels secure and confident during the day, this can help them in the night. Once you know the nature of your child's fear, don't support the fear, even unintentionally, by formally recognizing or acknowledging it. For example, if your child is afraid of monsters, don't pretend to get out the monster repellant spray or to check the room for monsters. Such actions make it seem to your child like you too believe that these monsters exist.  Instead, consider talking to your child about the difference between imagination and reality. For example, if he's afraid of monsters under the bed because he watched the film Monsters, Inc., let your child know that movies are made-up and are not real. You will likely need to have this conversation multiple times as the child develops his mental capacity for logic and reasoning.  Constantly reassure your child that he is safe. Communicate the notion of safety repeatedly. Do not allow your child to watch scary TV shows or play scary or violent video games. These may increase your child's fears before he goes to sleep. In general you should try to limit your child's exposure to TV and other electronics before bed as this can...

Article in English: Let your friend know that you are willing to listen if she needs to talk.  However, if your friend says she needs some time to process things on her own first, then do not pressure her to talk. Give her time and just remind her that you are there for her if she want to talk. Try saying something like, “I know you must be overwhelmed right now, but I am here for you and I am willing to listen if you ever need to talk.” If your friend has confided in you that she is pregnant, do not tell anyone without her permission. This is her news to share or not share, and telling people about your friend’s pregnancy could cause problems for her. If you are worried because your friend has not sought help for her pregnancy, then you should talk to her about how you feel. For example, you might say, “I know this is overwhelming for you, but I am concerned about your health and well-being as well. I think you need to see a doctor, no matter what you plan to do about the pregnancy.” Your friend will need to decide what she wants to do about her pregnancy. It is her decision if she wants to keep the baby, put the baby up for adoption, or have an abortion. Do not try to sway her towards one decision or another, just ask her what you can do to help. For example, your friend might need someone to drive her to a clinic, help her find an obstetrician, or choose an adoption agency. To determine what she needs, you might simply say something like, “I am here for you. What can I do to help? ” Lecturing your friend or giving unsolicited advice is not going to help her. Do your best to avoid telling her what you think she should do, what you would do, or what you think is the best solution. Unless she asks you for advice, do not give her advice.  Instead of judging, ask her how she is feeling. She may be sick from morning sickness or emotional from keeping the secret. Let her tell you how she feels instead of you telling her how to feel. Assure your friend that you still love her and this does not change your friendship. She is probably...

Article in English: Let your guy friend know how much you highly think of him and how much you think he would make a great boyfriend for someone one day. It is a subtle yet obvious enough clue to hear that you think he would actually make a fabulous boyfriend. But don't call it a date. In its place, invite him out to the movies one night, as friends. If he asks you out the following weekend and you ask him about again, the next thing you know, you both will find yourself dating. Send him comical text messages and e-mails. It's a fantastic way to build your friendship and future relationship. Guys want to feel that they can be themselves with you. By letting all hang out, you're letting him know that you're fun and cool at the same time.

Summary in Russian:

Намекните вашему другу, что он вам интересен. Пригласите его на свидание. Пишите ему сообщения и электронные письма.


Article in English: Let your mother (and the entire family) know that you've decided to go ahead and get married. And don't wait - when your mind is entirely made up, make the announcement, and keep it positive. Tell your mother privately that you now intend to declare your intentions to all. If there is any further resistance, at this point, you must take a firm, hard stand. Try to be as minimally harsh as possible, but let your mom know, in no uncertain terms, that the time for voicing her disagreeing opinions is now at an end.  For example: Tell your mom, calmly and kindly, "Mom, I understand your concerns, you've made them crystal clear. I've heard you out and I haven't changed my opinion.  We're getting married. I am not asking for your permission, but I would like your blessing. I hope you can give it." At the appointed time, announce clearly, amazingly and happily that you are engaged. Hopefully, Mom will have taken your warning to your heart. As long as mom keeps her mouth shut, be nice. It's all about simply getting along. Your partner hasn't caused this - it is your mother's choice to respond in this way. Your partner deserves to know how you are dealing with it and what it means for the day of the wedding, for future life together. Ultimately, your future spouse needs to know that he or she comes first and that you don't agree with her point of view. Do let your partner know that you still care for your mom and that ultimately, you hope it'll all turn out for the best. That gives both of you an understanding that there is an intention to keep working on your relationship with your mom for the sake of everyone.

Summary in Russian:

Стойте на своем окончательном решении. Будьте позитивны и постоянно держите в курсе своего партнера.


Article in English: Let your mother settle down, and give yourself time to think everything over. Get out of the house if you can, giving both of you the space you need to cool down. Spend time with friends or go for a walk to clear your head. If you are grounded and not allowed to leave home, try other methods to calm down, such as listening to music or talking to a close friend on the phone. Chances are, if you and your mom had a disagreement, you may have said some ugly things to her. Can you see aspects of the fight that were your fault? Did you break a rule? Say a curse word? Get bad grades in school? Or, are you upset with her because she won't give you permission to do something?  Think about your role in the fight and try to identify at least three things you know you did wrong. This will help you to build a genuine apology for her later. Sometimes fights happen when we are in a bad mood, tired, or hungry. Were any of these conditions relevant in your case? Did you fly off the handle with your mom simply because you have a bad day at school? Now that you have a better understanding of the fight and what may have gone wrong, try to view it from your mom's perspective. Was she tired from coming in after work? Is she sick or not feeling well? Did you blindside her with an accusation or offensive statement when she was preoccupied? For years, counselors have used a strategy to help people identify when they need self-care and avoid any heated discussions or decision-making. The acronym is HALT and it stands for hungry, angry, lonely, and tired. Taking a good measure of your own and your mother's mood state in the future can prevent unnecessary disagreements. Oftentimes, teenagers and young adults may not understand their parents' train of thinking on certain decisions. The parents say "no" and that's all you hear. You don't see the underlying rationale for the decision. To help you better understand your mother's actions, imagine yourself in her shoes talking to your own child.  How would you have reacted in a similar fight...

Article in English: Let your parents know how seriously you take your choice by studying the subject. The main way you will convince your parents is to show them that you are passionate and realistic about your ambition.  Some ideas include:  Learn how to act by taking acting lessons. Join the thespians.  Try out for a school play. Read plays and talk about them. Go to plays, not movies.  Audition. If you already have a part in a semi-professional or professional production when you tell your parents that's great, but if they hear that you have simply auditioned and gone through the rejection process they will feel better about your understanding of this career.

Summary in Russian:

Если вы еще не вовлечен в актерскую деятельность, то самое время начать.


Article in English: Let your parents know you want to ask them about something. Pick a space free of outside distractions and a time when your parents are not busy. For example, you could ask them in the family room after dinner one night.  Explain the sleepover calmly. Let your parents know who you want to invite, what you want to do, any money you'll need. For example, "Mom, Dad, I really want to have Maya sleepover Friday night. I want us to be better friends because we have so much in common. I want us to stay up, play board games, and watch movies. All I need is money for pizza and snacks." Keep in mind, your parents may say no. Be respectful of this, as complaining will make you seem immature. Ask them why they said "No," so you can better understand, and ask again in a month or so. They may change their mind with time, especially if you maturely accept their answer. When you're planning a sleepover, you want to make sure that you pick a day that works well for both you and your friend.  If it's during the school year, plan your sleepover for a Friday or Saturday night, as you don't want to wake up tired for school. Talk about the dates with your friend, in case she has any morning activities that might conflict with your sleepover. Invite your friend at least a week in advance. Depending on how old you are, you might need to have your parent or guardian call theirs to set up the sleepover times. Before your friend comes over for your sleepover, you want to create a cozy area to hang out in. This will make your night feel magical and make your friend feel more at home.  Make a blanket fort. Drape up blankets over chairs and couches in one area of your house to create a fort that you and your friend can crawl inside. Fill it with plenty of cozy blankets, cushions, and pillows. This can also be a great activity to do with your friend. Stringing up fairy lights can also add a magical touch to your room or your blanket fort.  If you have a large bed, both you and your friend can sleep in your bed. If you don't, however,...

Article in English: Let your partner know what you're experiencing, and work together to find a way around those problems. Allow yourself to be vulnerable. When you see time and again that your partner does not think less of you in your most vulnerable state, you may begin to build trust in the relationship and confidence in yourself. Some health professionals believe sexual performance anxiety may have some roots in social anxiety. All of the thoughts typically associated with sexual performance anxiety, whether of feeling self-conscious or feeling un-masculine/feminine, boil down to a fear of other people's judgment. Though it will take time and effort, counseling for couples or individual counseling may help you let go of your fears about yourself and allow you to trust your partner. Focus on the things you love about yourself and your body. Whether you feel insecure about your weight, your appearance, or any other physical factors, specialists agree that the first step to overcoming issues of self esteem lies in accepting yourself as you are: a wonderful human being who deserves to be happy. You are more than a sexual creature. Think about the positive qualities you have that your partner sees in you, and let yourself feel good about those qualities. One of the frequent causes of sexual performance anxiety is feeling guilty or otherwise bad about the things that pop up in sexual fantasies. The fear is that these kinks will come to define the person, and that he or she will end up acting them out in reality. Experts agree that fantasizing about a particular act or even a particular person does not necessarily mean that there is any real desire to actually act it out in real life.  Be open and honest with your partner about what you like and don't like, and ask your partner to do the same.  It's okay to have sexual fantasies and desires. You and your partner can act out your fantasies safely, through role playing or other strategies for couples.

Summary in Russian:

Поговорите с партнером о своих тревогах. Доверяйте своему партнеру. Будьте уверенны в себе. Напоминайте себе, кто вы есть.


Article in English: Let your sentence be well thought-out and avoid beating around the bush. Otherwise, he may be confused and a little hurt. Refrain from telling him something to the tune of "Sounds okay" or "I'll go for it." Both phrases convey reluctance which could give him a sense of insecurity about himself and nervousness. Instead, try for a phrase similar to "Yes, I would love to!"   Here are examples of other responses that convey enthusiasm and certainty: "That sounds great," "Of course, I would love to," "Yes, I'm so flattered you would ask," and "That would be lovely." These are simple, more mature answers, but prove to a boy you are more adult and mature. Here are some responses that would be appropriate for a text message proposal: "Perfect, See U Then ;)," "Yes!" and "I thought you'd never ask :D" Don't feel like you need the perfect, well-thought out response. A perfect response can just be a sincere smile followed by an enthusiastic "Yes!" This step is especially ideal if you know beforehand that he's going to ask you out. Imagine him in your mind asking you out as vividly as possible so you can work through any fear you have beforehand. Carefully select the words you want to use in your response and say them out loud until you feel confident enough. Words are only half the battle when saying yes. If you are truly excited about his offer then your body should reflect that excitement. There are a few easy ways to convey enthusiasm throughout your body.  Keep an open posture. Don't cross your arms or your legs if you can avoid it. Stand with your arms open and your legs shoulder-width apart. A closed posture can convey fear, hesitation, and anxiety.   Maintain eye contact and smile. You may become embarrassed or afraid, causing you to avert yours eyes away from him. Fight against your shyness and stare straight into his eyes while maintaining a bright, genuine smile so he knows you are as interested as he is.   Don't be afraid of affection. If your reaction after saying yes is to give him a huge hug - then do it!...

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Let your stubble grow to the point of being a short beard. As with a regular haircut, you can always take more off, but you can’t put back what is no longer attached. Grow your beard to a length that you know is slightly longer than you’d ever want to keep your stubble. How long this will take depends entirely on your particular beard growth. For some men this may take three or four days while for others it could be over a week. Start with a slightly longer setting on your trimmer such as a 4. This will take all of your hair down to an even length. Especially for men with dark, thick beards, this setting will probably be too scruffy for the look they want, but it works for some—think Hugh Jackman. Once you have an even length to work with, begin trimming your stubble down in increments to find the right length for you. The length you decide on will ultimately depend on your hair density, hair color, and how clean of a designer stubble look you want.  Remember that you may also choose to keep the stubble on different parts of your face at different lengths to achieve a cleaner look. You may decide that the best look for you is using a 3 setting along your jaw and moustache but a 2 setting on your cheeks to create a more blended look that fades rather than ends dramatically.  Don’t worry if taking the length down makes spots like your cheeks feel patchy. Some men such as Ryan Gosling rock the designer stubble look with barely any hair extending onto their cheeks. You’ll clean up those patchy spots in the next step. Once you have the length of your stubble where you want it, you can take care of stray hairs or asymmetrical spots by cleaning up around the edges. For this, you can take the setting guard off your trimmer to use it as a set of electric clippers, or you can use a plain old safety razor. Common areas to clean up while edging include the sparse hairs some men get high up on their cheek bones or upper lip hairs that might take away from the definition one wants in his moustache.

Article in English: Let your vet know that your dog has started giving birth. This will put them on alert. If there is an emergency, they will be able to help you as quickly as possible. Your dog and puppies should be examined by a vet within 24 hours of birth, even if they appear healthy. The dog will typically release the placenta fifteen minutes after a puppy is born. Occasionally, two puppies will be born followed by two placentas. There should always be one placenta per puppy. If there is not, call your vet. Your vet may give the dog a shot of oxytocin to help it expel the placentas naturally. While a little bit of panting is normal immediately after birth, your dog should not be trembling or shaking. If this behavior continues several hours after birth, it could be a sign of complications, such as milk fever. If the dog has been straining or contracting for 30 minutes without giving birth, a puppy may be stuck. Your dog may need an emergency C-section.

Summary in Russian:

Свяжитесь с ветеринаром в начале родов. Число последов должно равняться числу родившихся щенков. Если собака дрожит, отведите ее к ветеринару. Обратитесь за помощью, если схватки у собаки длятся больше 30 минут.


Article in English: Let yourself have one last deep cry. Let all your sadness out. Scream if necessary. Try to come to a point of final release. Keep in mind that you might need more than 1 good cry. It is okay to express your emotions and cry again as needed. Do not try to suppress your emotions about your ex because this is unhealthy.   Consider journalling during your cry about all the feelings you are experiencing. Describe the things you disliked about your ex. That might make you less sad that you broke up.  Have a friend with you during your final cry. Hugging someone can help, as it causes your body to produce oxytocin, which helps you feel warmer and happier. A trigger is something that will cause an emotional reaction when you see/hear/or smell it and will remind you of your ex. It could be anything from a piece of clothing or a bottle of perfume or cologne, certain music or songs, notes, drawings, ticket stubs, photographs – anything that reminds you of your ex. Put away, donate, or dispose of these things.   Removing triggers will help you move forward and heal, as the reaction to a trigger item is often involuntary. You could be feeling great and positive and then smell your ex's perfume and experience the pain anew.  While you might want to keep some mementos, put these in a box and out of sight. Unless you broke up on very good terms, consider “de-friending” your ex on Facebook or putting him/her on limited profile. Seeing constant updates about your ex will not make you feel better and might bring on tears. You also might consider removing his/her contact information from your phone. This will prevent you from texting or calling the person during moments of weakness. When you feel like another bout of crying is coming, try breathing very deeply from your diaphragm. Breathe in for a count of five and then exhale for five seconds, making a “ts” sound. This process will calm your body. See Stop Yourself from Crying for more physical tips on how to stop crying. No matter how tempting it is to rehash every detail of...
