Dill pairs excellently with the smooth, subdued flavors of a typical cucumber sandwich. After all, it's a crucial ingredient in dill pickles (which are made from cucumbers). A pinch or two of dried dill sprinkled into the sandwich will add some of this unique pickle-y flavor to the dish. For an eye-catching presentation, try serving the sandwiches open-faced (without the top piece of bread) and laying a single sprig of fresh dill across the cucumber slices. It'll look gorgeous (and taste great, too). With their crisp, cool taste and texture, cucumber sandwiches are the perfect summertime snack. Adding a little lemon pepper to the spread or sprinkling it over the cucumber slices gives your sandwiches just a hint of sourness, making them even more refreshing. Lemon pepper can be bought for fairly cheap at most mid- to high-end grocery stores. You can also make it yourself from lemon zest, salt, and pepper. If the standard cucumber sandwich doesn't have quite enough flavor for you, try adding a splash of your favorite Italian salad dressing as you're mixing the spread. This will give it a slightly more savory, substantial flavor without ruining the overall smoothness that makes a cucumber sandwich so great. Cucumber sandwiches are great with any good-quality white or wheat bread, but for an old-fashioned taste, use pumpernickel rye. Its heavy, sweet flavor contrasts well with the light, crisp bitterness of the cucumbers and the smoothness of the spread. Rye breads aren't always sold at neighborhood grocery stores, but you should be able to find it at many higher-end locations. Cucumbers are cool and crisp on their own, but with the added flavor and aroma of fresh mint, they're practically ice cold. Chop a few sprigs of mint and sprinkle them over the cucumbers or add them on top of each sandwich as a garnish. If you can, chop the mint into small, fine pieces. It's a little difficult to chew through whole mint leaves when they're in the middle of a sandwich. Marmite is an infamous, strong-flavored spread made...

TL;DR in Russian:

Добавьте в сэндвич укроп, чтобы придать ему тонкий, свежий аромат. Используйте лимонный перец, чтобы сделать вкус сэндвича более пикантным. Добавьте итальянский соус для салата, чтобы сэндвич стал более соленым. Используйте вестфальский хлеб («Пумперникель») вместо обычного хлеба. Добавьте немного мелко нарезанной мяты, чтобы сделать вкус более свежим и бодрящим. Попробуйте сэндвич с пастой Marmite («Мармайт») (если «упорство и отвага» — ваш жизненный девиз).


Dim the lights in your bedroom or living room and remove any electronic devices, such as phones, televisions, and laptops. Keep the room at a comfortable temperature. If it's too cold or too hot, this might be distracting. You may also want to set up a couple of cushions on the floor to sit on as you meditate. Set the cushions so they are near each other, but so that there will be a bit of space between you and your partner. Get into a position that is comfortable for you and your partner. You can either lie down or sit up with your legs in the lotus position. You and your partner can meditate while wearing something loose and comfortable or while not wearing anything at all if you prefer.  Keep your spine straight, whether you are sitting or lying down, with your arms by your sides. Rest your arms loosely in your lap if you meditate in a seated position.  Keep your chin up and your head aligned with your spine if you are seated. When you are ready, you and your partner can close your eyes and start the meditation. Then, try to remain aware of your surroundings at first. Pay attention to your body, your breath, and any sounds that you hear. Try to ignore intrusive thoughts and simply focus on the present moment. If a thought pops into your head, acknowledge the thought and then let it pass. For example, if you think of something that happened at work, then you might think to yourself, “yes, that happened,” and then picture the thought drifting away. As you meditate, focus on your space and breathing. Take deep, soothing breaths and pay attention to air entering and leaving your body. As you breathe in, pull the air down into your abdomen and imagine stress leaving your body as you exhale. Try to be aware of yourself and how you feel. Take stock of how the air feels around your body, how all your different body parts feel from your hands to your feet. As the meditation starts, visualize your own body. Think about how your body looks inside and out as well as how your body's energy looks.  Think about the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите тихое место, где вас ничто не будет отвлекать. Устройтесь поудобнее. Закройте глаза. Сконцентрируйтесь на пространстве и дыхании. Представляйте свое тело. Сосредоточьтесь на партнере. Переходите к сексу.


Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine, but brand names vary) is an antihistamine drug that can be purchased at most grocery stores and pharmacies. These drugs block receptors in the brain associated with nausea and vomiting. You can purchase dramamine in two tablet forms — drowsy and non-drowsy. Non-drowsy is best for amusement parks. If you are taking a train or a plane long distance and can sleep, the drowsy kind will work well.  To prevent motion sickness, the first dose should be taken 30 minutes to one hour before you go to the amusement park. Adults and children older than age 12 can usually take dimenhydrinate every four to six hours as needed to prevent or treat motion sickness. Children under 12 can usually be given dimenhydrinate every six to eight hours or as needed to prevent or treat motion sickness, but talk to your child's doctor before using medications on young children. There are a few other similar medications used for motion sickness. check with your doctor or pharmacist on which medication may be best for you. You'll need to see a doctor to get a prescription for this medication. Generally, this medication is saved for those who aren't helped by dramamine. Most of the time, scopolamine is administered in a patch form.  Talk to your doctor about potential side effects of this medication, which can include drowsiness, disorientation, dry mouth, or hallucinations.  People with glaucoma or certain other medical problems may not be able to use scopolamine, so make sure to tell your doctor about any medical problems you have. The patch should be applied as directed on the package. Normally, it should be placed on the back of the ear, at least four hours prior to when it is actually needed. Wash behind your ear before applying. Remove the patch from the protective packaging. Place on the skin. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Leave on for as long as you need it or as long as the package prescribes. Ginger (zingiber officinale) is cheap and effective. You can consume ginger raw or in lozenge/pill form....

Достаньте немного безрецептурного драмамина. Достаньте пластырь со скополамином. Наклейте пластырь скополамина. Попробуйте обойтись имбирными добавками.


Dimple piercings are fairly risky since you are dealing with an area more prone to infection than most. If done right, though, dimple piercings can partially mimic the look of dimples. Keep the piercings if you want to permanently highlight the dimple area or take them out eventually so that the skin eventually heals, leaving behind a dimple-like indentation.  Due to the risks involved with dimple piercing, some professionals do not offer them at all. Others may offer them but often refuse them to anyone under the age of 18, even if that individual has the permission of a legal guardian. Dimple piercings cut through muscle and usually cause some mild form of nerve damage. This nerve damage can help hold the dimples in place even after the piercing closes up, but it can also be risky and could do unforeseen harm. The professional piercer should clean the outside of your cheek and should also instruct you to clean the inside of your mouth before making the dimple piercings. The needle and jewelry should also be sterilized. The piercer will puncture both cheeks symmetrically, right at the spot where natural dimples would fall. Afterward, he or she will place a straight barbell or other piece of piercing jewelry into each hole to prevent it from closing immediately. Your dimple piercings will need to be cleaned multiple times a day with a saline solution to prevent infection from setting in. You can keep the dimple jewelry in permanently if desired, but you can usually take them out after three months have passed. If the piercing did the expected nerve damage, you should have an indentation in your cheek even after the skin heals over the original hole. If you want something that looks more natural and will last for the rest of your life, learn about a plastic surgery procedure that will create dimple-like marks in your cheeks. Cosmetic surgery can be costly and does come with its own set of risks, but this option will give you fake dimples that look more natural than many other methods can.  A plastic surgeon...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте пирсинг ямочек. Подумайте о косметической операции.


Dimples can occur naturally on the outer corner of the lip or further up on the cheek. Figure out which look you want and estimate the best place to make your fake dimples.  Most natural dimples fall near the natural outer crease line of a smile. To figure out where dimples like these should go, smile in front of a mirror and pinpoint the accompanying creases. The dimple should go just outside of the creases on either side of your face. For dimples that fall just to the outside of your lips, smile in front of a mirror and look for the smaller, inner creases that form just to the lower outside of your mouth. A fake dimple could be positioned along the inside curve of the creases on either side of your mouth. If you have a hard time keeping an eye on the spot, you can make a small dot with your eyeshadow applicator or eye liner pencil to mark it. This dot should be as small as possible to prevent it from interfering with the final look. Take a matte eye shadow or eye liner pencil and draw a small comma on your desired location. Draw lightly at first; it will be easier to darken your dimple later than it will be to lighten it.  Use a dark brown color for best results. Make sure that the color is matte. A glossy or sparkly cosmetic would not be suitable since it will make your fake dimples stand out too much and look too fake. Likewise, color other than a dark brown might also look fake. The period or dot portion of the fake dimple should follow the natural curve of your lips when you smile. Imagine an invisible, diagonal line connecting the corner of your lips and the crease of your smile. The intersection of this line with your smile crease is the right point for your period to go. Draw the tail of the comma directly below the period portion. This tale should be 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) or so long, and the curve should be about as subtle as the curve of your fingertip. Blend the cosmetic into your skin to make it look more natural. Start with a small makeup brush, applying even, rounded strokes that follow the curve...

Dinner out at a restaurant is a classic Valentine's tradition However, you may find most restaurants overbooked or overpriced for that very reason. If you want to take him out to eat, make reservations as far in advance as you can. Plan to eat at home, or pack a romantic picnic if the weather permits.  Hire a professional chef or a talented single friend to cook the two of you a romantic dinner at home. If one of you works on Valentine's day, consider meeting up for a brief lunch. It will be too rushed to constitute the main event of your day, but it is a romantic gesture. Breakfast in bed is another classic romantic gesture. If your partner doesn't like eating in bed, just popping out of bed before him and having it ready by the time he gets up is a kind act. If your husband really loves cooking, give him the gift of appreciation. Tell him you're dying to eat a home-cooked meal, maybe make a special request for something you think he could make, then sit back and watch him cook. Cooking together can also be romantic. If you guys can stand a little cheese, buy matching aprons. If you're feeling foxy, consider cooking in only aprons. Timing is everything. If you are planning a heavy meal at home or at a restaurant, eat late. Get your romantic time together before you head out, as you may be too full and sleepy after a large meal to enjoy one another's company afterward. If you and your partner drink alcohol, drink something nicer than usual on this occasion. Get a bottle of nice wine, or buy a growler from a local beer distributor. Buy ingredients to replicate a kind of cocktail you both enjoy, and mix it up as a surprise.  Design a new cocktail. If you're crafty, make a custom cocktail using flavors your husband enjoys. If you plan a week ahead, you can make a custom liqueur for the special drink.  Give your cocktail a personalized name, or tell him it's an aphrodisiac. Beer doesn't have to feel casual or inelegant. Opt for a locally brewed beer with a high alcohol content, and serve it in champagne flutes or...

Dinoflagellates   photosynthesize during the day, and to do so effectively they need twelve solid hours of light. This can be achieved by allowing the algae to get natural sunlight or controlling the light carefully with a lamp inside a closet or dark room.  If you use a lamp, it should be placed about three feet from the container. Do not place the light directly over the container; this will heat it up and kill the organisms inside. If you want the algae to luminescent predictably, it is necessary to keep them on a strict light schedule. Turn on the light at the same time in the morning and turn it off at the same time at night (you can use a light timer to help you). The algae's circadian rhythm will synchronize with the light schedule. It is possible to arrange a light schedule so that luminescence occurs during the day. This is useful if you are using it to teach children in a classroom. Set up the grow lamp to shine on the algae overnight, and keep it in a dark closet during the day. Dinoflagellates flash when water or another substances stimulates them by pressing against their cell walls. To watch them luminesce, pick up the container and gently swirl the water inside. If they received enough light during the day, they will begin to light up and flash.  Don't shake the container too hard, as it will wear out the dinoflagellates and cause them to stop flashing more quickly. Don't shake the container too often, since this also causes dinoflagellates to become exhausted. They need a period of recovery after luminescing. Over time, if the conditions are right, you will see the algae multiply. You can separate it into more containers and mix it with additional grow solution. The luminescence won't be as bright at first, since it will take a few weeks for the algae population to restore itself. Dinoflagellates usually expire after this period. Buy another culture, and consider experimenting with a different dinoflagellate this time.

Dip a cotton ball into rubbing alcohol. Ring it out slightly – it shouldn’t be dripping wet when you use it on your leather. If your stain is bigger than a few pen marks, you should use a clean dish cloth instead of cotton balls. Stains that large might also need professional attention. Using minimal pressure, press the cotton ball over the ink stain and gently rub the spot. You can check every few seconds to see if it looks like the ink is coming out of the leather. Once you’ve rubbed the ink spot with rubbing alcohol, let the leather dry. Once it’s dry, you’ll be able to see whether the ink came completely out. If it didn’t, repeat the procedure as necessary.

TL;DR in Russian:

Окуните ватный диск в медицинский спирт. Аккуратно вытрите пятно. Дайте коже высохнуть.


Dip a soft, microfiber cloth in your paste. Use this to rub paste onto the brass. Cover the full surface, especially targeting areas that are smudged and stained. A vinegar paste should sit on your brass for about an hour. After applying the paste, set a timer for an hour to let the paste sit. Make sure the brass is undisturbed while you let the paste set. You can place the brass in a cabinet or cupboard so it's out of reach. If you're cleaning brass on something like a doorknob, make sure other household members know not to touch the doorknob while the brass is soaking in the paste. Use a damp cloth to rinse the paste off your brass. When you're done, the brass should be clean and smudge free.  Make sure to rinse the paste off completely to avoid damaging the brass. Remember to use a softer cloth. Abrasive cloths or sponges, like steel wool, can scratch brass. Make sure to dry the brass thoroughly. Leaving it wet can cause damage. Rub your brass down with a dry, soft cloth until it's dry to the touch.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нанесите пасту на латунь. Оставьте пасту на час. Промойте латунь. Просушите латунь.


Dip a washcloth in warm water and wring it out. Then, swipe the cloth over your skin to remove the baking soda paste. You may need to rinse the washcloth a few times to get most of the paste off. If you don't have a washcloth, you can use damp cotton balls or pads. Hold your skin under the tap and wipe it gently with your hands to remove all traces of the dye. Continue to rinse the skin until you don't feel residue from the baking soda paste on your skin. You can repeat this if your skin still looks stained, but you may want to wait a few minutes. Your skin might just be a little irritated from all the rubbing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сотрите пасту влажной тканевой салфеткой. Ополосните кожу теплой водой.


Dip the bristles of the brush into the bowl to pick up some of the cleaner. Minimize the amount of moisture on the brush as much as possible to avoid soaking the seat belt. For truly stubborn stains, you or a professional can use a steam machine or hot water extractor. Once you’ve added a coating of fabric cleaner or upholstery shampoo, run the machine over the belt on a low moisture setting.

Dip the cotton ball into the oils and let it absorb the mixture. Make sure the cotton ball gets saturated in oils so that it will effectively treat your tooth ache.Use a large cotton ball so that it applies more oil to your tooth and gums. Set a timer for 20 minutes, then try to relax while the oils work. Afterwards, remove the cotton ball and rinse your mouth out with the warm salt water solution. Finish by rinsing your mouth with warm water.

Dip the cotton swab in your stain of choice. Start in the center of your lips and work your way outwards. Afterwards, lightly trace the outline of your lips. Try to keep the stain off the skin around your lips. Choose any kind of bright red fruit, nick it with a knife, and apply it to your lips. After the first coat dries, you can add more layers to deepen the red color. Keep going until you like the way your lips look, then add a layer of clear lip balm to seal it in for a few hours. Cherries and pomegranates will provide the most color. Strawberries and raspberries may give you a more subtle color. This natural powder is made from dried beets, which have beautiful deep red hue. Mix beet root powder with enough water to make a thick paste. Spread it on your lips and let it sit for three minutes, then rinse away the excess paste with warm water. Repeat until your lips are as red as you'd like.

Dip the pH strip into the water but do not swirl it around or stir the water. After about 5 seconds, remove the strip from the water and wait another 5 to 10 seconds. When the pH strip changes colour, compare it to the pH spectrum to determine the pH level of your water.  Generally tap water has a pH level of around 7. Anything below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is alkaline.  Those who advocate the health benefits of alkaline water recommend a pH level of around 8.5 - 9.5. If you are hoping to improve your health and wellbeing by ionizing your water, it’s important that you spent some time scrutinizing the health claims. This is especially important if you are thinking of buying an expensive ionizing machine. Advocates of ionized water say the alkaline helps balance the acidity in other food and drink we consume, and claim that it can have marked impact on your focus and energy.  These are difficult things to quantify, however, and scientists say there is little evidence for the claims. Your body has mechanisms to keep your pH level within a narrow range on its own. Whatever pH level food or drink was at when it entered your body, it is 6.8 when it leaves.  There has been scientific studies done in Korea and Japan that argue that alkaline water helps treat and prevent diseases. Some scientists have expressed concern about the lack of clinical evidence to support the claims about ionized water. If you are interested in ionizing water, talk to your doctor for some more advice. If you are on any medication, or you are pregnant, you should always talk to your doctor first.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте уровень pH питьевой воды с помощью тест-полосок. Не ожидайте большой пользы для здоровья. Проконсультируйтесь с врачом.


Dipping may not seem as dangerous as cigarettes are to some people because no smoke is involved. However, dipping can cause cancers of the mouth, throat, and esophagus, as well as shrinking of the gums around your teeth, cracked lips, white spots, sores, bleeding in the mouth, tooth loss, bad breath, and increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Make the decision to quit about you, not about someone else in your life. If you quit for someone else when you don't want to, you may resent them during the withdrawal process.  That being said, family members and friends can be a great support and inspiration for quitting dipping. Accept support from your loved ones. Dipping can greatly impact not only your life but the lives of your family and friends. Realize that you are spending money to harm yourself. If you are chewing as often as one can per day, your addiction can get expensive very quickly. Try to view your addiction as an intense waste of money if that helps you recognize that you have a problem.  Your health insurance costs will also go up as a result of your chewing habit. If you do contract a disease or cancer as a result of dipping, the cost of treatment will be enormous. You may not be able to remember when you chose to start dipping. In fact, it may not have been a conscious decision at all. Chances are, you did not plan to become a dipper, but somehow it happened and now you need to fix it.  Maybe your friends and/or family introduced you to dipping one day and you gradually accepted, eventually becoming comfortable with the substance and ultimately becoming addicted. Maybe a certain behavior triggers a tobacco craving, such as playing in a baseball league with other dippers. Identify and avoid trigger behaviors and settings. Evaluate the facts of your situation, not how you feel about them. Your feelings are important, but they sometimes lead you to a false sense of reality.  When your mind tries to tell you that you cannot withhold a dip any longer, recognize that the truth is you will not die...

TL;DR in Russian:

Признайте свою проблему. Бросьте эту привычку для себя. Подсчитайте свои затраты на ваше увлечение. Найдите источник вашей зависимости. Будьте честны с собой.


Direct intuition, also called literal intuition, is the sort of intuition you harness when you ask yourself about a specific situation.  Make yourself comfortable. Sit down in a quiet place and focus your breathing until your body relaxes. Identify a situation you would like insight on. Focus on this situation for several minutes. Ask aloud or in your mind for a direct intuitive experience about it in the near future. Let it go. You may need to do this multiple times before anything comes of it, but by focusing your energy on one specific situation, your intuition is more likely to pick up on cues for that situation than on anything else. Indirect intuition, also called symbolic intuition, focuses on the mind's natural ability to pick up on things of key importance by developing your ability to see in and interpret mental symbols.  Grab a pencil and a piece of paper. Ask yourself, "What does my life need right now?" Repeat this question three times, pausing in between each repetition while imagining yourself moving to a more meaningful answer each time. After asking the question three times, pick up your pencil and draw the first symbol that comes to mind. Interpret the symbol. Figure out what it represents from your perspective and how that concept plays into your life. . The human mind enters the REM stage of sleep every 90 minutes, and during this state, the mind dreams. Dreams can be a powerful tool in your journey to interpret cues from external stimuli that your subconscious has already analyzed.  Before going to sleep, put a pad of paper and a pen next to your bed. Ask yourself a question or focus on a specific situation in your life that you need an intuitive answer to. Repeat it as often as possible before falling asleep. When you wake up, write down anything you dreamed about. If you did not dream about anything, write or draw whatever enters your mind. Repeat as needed until you get an answer to your question or situation. Blind readings use a system of cards to help you focus your energy and...

Dirt and debris in the horse’s coat will dull your clippers as you use them, so it is best to groom your horse well prior to clipping. When possible, give your horse a bath the night before you plan to clip to remove as much of the dirt as possible. Use chalk or masking tape to section off the areas of your horse’s coat that you intend on clipping. Make sure to use straight lines and mark off all areas before starting to remove hair. The buzzing noise put out by clippers is frightening to most horses, especially those who have never been clipped before. Let the horse see the clippers, and then turn them on a few feet away from its face. Allow them to see that the source of the noise is from the clippers. Alongside the sound, the way the vibration of the clippers feels on the horses skin might spook them. Test out their reaction by turning on the clippers, and placing the handle-end on their side. This will allow them to feel the vibrations without removing any hair. If your horse spooks particularly easy, place your hand on their side and the handle of the clippers on the back of your hand. The vibrations will travel through your hand and they’ll be able to feel it on their skin indirectly.

TL;DR in Russian:

Причешите лошадь. Отметьте те части, которые вы хотите сбрить. Убедитесь, что ваша лошадь не боится звука бритвы. Дайте лошади привыкнуть к вибрации.


Dirt should be slightly sloped away from the house so that water will travel away from the perimeter rather than pool up against the outer walls. Don’t allow wet leaves or other debris to pile up against the exterior walls of your home.  Pooling water can seep into the home and cause mold to grow inside the house. If your driveway is showing signs of mold, consider removing trees or shrubbery that are blocking sunlight on your driveway. Mold thrives in damp and shady areas. Sump pumps should discharge water at least twenty feet from your home. Your gutters should expel water at least six feet away from the exterior walls. If your gutters are releasing water too close to the home, install gutter extenders. Make sure none of your outside hose spots are dripping. Examine the perimeter of the building for any potential water dripping or seepage. If there are any leaks – for example in your piping or roof – repair them. Insulate your roof, exterior walls, windows and pipes to cut down on moisture that forms condensation. If your mold problem is indoors, increase the ventilation to prevent warm and stagnant air where mold can thrive. Make sure large appliances are vented, such as your washer and dryer. Make sure kitchens and bathrooms are well ventilated. Run air conditioners and dehumidifiers as needed. Seal the concrete with water-proofing chemicals. Seal any cracks in the concrete walkway around your home with concrete, caulking or tar. If you plan to paint concrete walls, use a waterproof sealant first, then apply stain-blocking primer and paint. For outdoors, try a high quality acrylic sealer made for exterior use. If your weather tends to be warm and humid, look for a low-solids solvent-based sealer. Choose dry, sunny weather and allow the sealer to dry for at least two to three days.

Dirty clothes breed bacteria and will be smelly and uncomfortable. Wash your clothes after you wear them and never put on sweaty or wet clothes.  Tight clothes are more likely to get dirty and trap sweat. Remove tight or sweaty clothes soon after a workout to prevent build up.   UV from the sun is a powerful disinfectant that kills many bugs and bacteria. . Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day as it  promotes a healthy immune system and is crucial to good hygiene. Drinking water helps keep your skin and mouth healthy, too.  Bring your own waterbottle to work, but be sure to disinfect it regularly. Clear the dirt in your nails and keep them short and tidy. Hangnails and cuts around your cuticles are major areas for infection and dirt buildup. Menstruation itself is not un-hygienic, but you need to take care of yourself and keep your private parts clean to avoid infections or rashes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за тем, чтобы ваше белье и одежда были чистыми. Пейте достаточное количество воды. Следите за чистотой рук и ногтей. Во время менструации регулярно меняйте гигиенические средства и белье. Регулярно проходите медицинский осмотр.


Disagreeing with your parents doesn’t always have to be an uneasy or awkward experience.  Focus on being respectful and polite, rather than angry and frustrated.  As an adult, you have more rights to assert yourself.  Say what you need to say, just be careful and thoughtful in how you do that. Keep in mind that you are not obligated to be accountable for other people’s feelings, but responding with kindness and compassion is still a good idea.  If you are not able to stay calm, excuse yourself until you’re ready to talk in a more respectful way. When your parents say something that you disagree with, avoid being passive or aggressive in your approach.  Show your parents that you have a difference of opinion in a direct and concise way. Let’s say your mother is trying to tell you how to spend your money in a certain way, and you want to take a different approach.  Consider saying, “I hear what you’re saying, Mom, and I respect your thoughts on the matter.  But I have learned another approach, and would like to try that instead.” Or, "Thank you for your helpful information, it is appreciated and I will take it into consideration, but...." As an adult, independence allows you to make your own decisions, express your own opinions, and establish yourself.  Independence also gives you greater freedom to disagree when you have arguments about money and career choices.  The more self-reliant you are financially, the more at ease you’ll feel with making your own choices and expressing a different opinion. Make small but clear steps towards self-sufficiency.  That way, when you are arguing with them about life choices such as becoming an artist rather than an accountant, you'll have proof of your efforts towards independence. Use social and financial support from your parents for important turning points in your early adult life like college, but avoid depending on them each month to help you with your bills.  The more they control your expenses, the easier it is for them to make arguments against your life choices....

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте вежливы и уверены в себе. Не сидите на шее у родителей. Не участвуйте в бесполезных спорах. Установите границы в отношении ваших партнеров.


Disappointment is important because it can push you towards productive changes. If something did not work out in your favor, take this disappointment as an opportunity to reevaluate your approach.  While a variety of factors can affect your success or failure, it's important to acknowledge which factors you can control. This way, you can reinvent your approach to success. If you're not making sales at work, maybe you need to work on your interpersonal communication skills. Consider enrolling in an online marketing class. If you're struggling to make friends in a new city, maybe it's time to branch out more. Try to get involved in your community. Volunteer for an organization that means something to you.  Remember to keep things in perspective. It's important to be self-aware enough to recognize your power in a situation. However, acknowledge what is beyond your control. You can strive to better prepare for your next job interview but this does not necessarily mean you'll be offered the position. See disappointment as a setback rather than a catastrophe. Take a few days to remind yourself of your goals and passions. This can help strengthen your commitment and move past the disappointment.  What do you ultimately want from life? Write down your goals or state them out loud to yourself. Remind yourself why these things are important to you. How do they reflect your values and passions?  Disappointment can be valuable. If you're feeling particularly let down, this serves as a reminder of how important your goals are to you. If a goal did not mean much to you, you wouldn't feel disappointed. Determination is as important to success as pure talent or intelligence. Take disappointment as an opportunity to push yourself harder. Remind yourself persistence is vital for success in any given field. In the wake of disappointment, develop a strategy to work harder and strive more for success. Take a few days to mourn and then promise yourself you'll start working harder towards your goals.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте другой подход. Вернитесь к своим целям. Развивайте решимость.


Disassemble the hardware and remove the brass pieces. This method should only be applied to brass hardware; using it on materials made of plastic or glass may leave those pieces discolored. Use a clean, dry rag to remove any dust or foreign materials from the hardware. If your hardware is new or uninstalled, you might be able to skip this step.  Whether you need to clean your hardware and how you should go about it will ultimately depend on how dirty it is. Use soapy water and a washcloth if your hardware is particularly dirty. If it’s only a little dusty, just using a dry rag should suffice. Be careful not to use an abrasive scrubbing cloth, as this might damage the brass. Use a hammer and nail to punch a small hole in the center of the coffee can lid that is big enough for the coat hanger wire to pass through. Once you’ve made a hole in the coffee can lid, poke your hanger’s unhooked end through the hole and bend it into a right angle so it can hold itself in place. Once the wire hanger is secured to the lid, make sure it’s able to hold the weight of your brass hardware before you actually use it. Hook your hardware onto the wire and hold the lid up to make sure the wire doesn’t fall through the hole in the lid. Combine 1 cup (240 mL) of water and 2 teaspoons (9.9 mL) of salt in a clean plastic bucket. After the salt has dissolved, use the hook end of your lid-hook configuration to dip your brass hardware into the liquid and hold it there for 30 seconds. Avoid overdoing it on the ammonia; you only need to pour enough in the coffee can to produce fumes and don’t want it to actually be touching the brass hardware.  Note that the coffee can you use needs to be metallic; cans made of plastic or other materials can’t be used to safely hold and heat ammonia. You can buy household ammonia at most mass retailers and certain grocery stores. Replace the lid on the coffee can so the hardware piece dangles inside the can. Make sure that the brass piece doesn’t touch the ammonia during this process. This will release...

Прикрепите состаренную вещь на прежнее место.


Discard any leaves that look wilted, worn or discoloured. It's common practice to discard the outer leaves since it is the most exposed to dirt and damage. Rise it under a stream of cool water. It's extremely important that you rinse the cabbage thoroughly as most farms use pesticides and other insecticides to keep pests and diseases away from their crops.  Organic cabbages should not have been grown with any pesticides or insecticides added but it's still important to rinse and clean your cabbage to rid it of any dirt, insects, eggs, or sand that may still be on your cabbage. You can also consider soaking your cabbage in saline water or plain water for 30 minutes to better clean it. It is common to slice the cabbage wedges into long, slim shreds but you can boil your cabbage in any form or shape you prefer. You can also boil your cabbage in wedges.  Shred the cabbage on a cutting board by placing it flat side down. Slice as thick or as thin as you want the shreds to be. Use a mandolin if you have one. This kitchen utensil will allow you to shred the cabbage by sliding it across a sharp blade

Discard the packaging that the turkey came in and put the turkey into a leak-proof bag. This will prevent turkey juices from leaking out and water from soaking into the turkey. Put the plug in the sink and place the wrapped turkey into it. Then, fill the sink with cold water so that almost all of the turkey is covered. Check the turkey package to see how much it weighs. Since it takes about 30 minutes to defrost 1 pound (450 g) of turkey, you'll need between 2 to 12 hours. Defrost the turkey for:  2 to 6 hours if it's 4 to 12 pounds (1.8 to 5.4 kg) 6 to 8 hours if it's 12 to 16 pounds (5.4 to 7.3 kg) 8 to 10 hours if it's 16 to 20 pounds (7.3 to 9.1 kg) 10 to 12 hours if it's 20 to 24 pounds (9.1 to 10.9 kg) To prevent the water from becoming too warm, drain the sink and refill it with cold water every 30 minutes. Keep doing this until the turkey is completely defrosted. Remember that you can easily unwrap the turkey and feel inside the cavity to check if it's defrosted. the defrosted turkey immediately. As soon as you think the turkey is defrosted, transfer the turkey to a roasting pan and season it as you like. Put the turkey into a preheated oven and cook it right away. Since you've been raising the temperature of the turkey, it's important to cook it as soon as you've defrosted it so it doesn't grow harmful bacteria.

Достаньте индейку из упаковки и положите ее в большой пакет на застежке. Положите индейку в раковину и наполните ее холодной водопроводной водой. Размораживайте индейку по 1 часу на каждые 0,91 кг веса. Меняйте воду каждые полчаса, пока индейка не оттает. Приготовьте индейку сразу после того, как разморозите ее.


Disconnect any other power sources for the tank as well so there is no risk of electric shock while you perform maintenance on the tank. But don’t remove the electrical devices yet. Wear rubber, water proof gloves for this. Take out any objects from within the tank. Put them aside on clean paper towels. Do this with an algae sponge. Use deep, kneading like strokes for each inner surface. Make at least two or three passes each on the bottom and sides. Slide the filter out of its position in the tank and set it aside on clean paper towels near a wash basin or sink along with the decorations you removed earlier. Run the filter, decorations, and fake plants under warm water. Rinse off each thoroughly with water to ensure no excess grime remains. Put the objects back on clean paper towels. This is usually a composite material tube with a siphon connected to a faucet or bucket to collect the extracted water. Push the gravel cleaner end into the bottom of the aquarium’s gravel layer until it reaches the bottom. Debris will rise through the siphon with the gravel and water. Once the water starts to clear, you should close the hose’s valve or pinch the hose above the gravel to allow the rocks to fall back down. Pull the gravel cleaner up, and put it back down to an adjacent area to repeat the process. Do this until approximately a quarter or one third of the water has been removed from the tank. Measure the temperature reading in the tank. Use a thermometer safe for water. You might ask the pet store for one for aquariums. Use the thermometer to adjust the water out of your tap to match the water temperature already in the tank. This step is more about not stressing the fish with sudden changes. Fish species can vary with the temperature they require, but a normal range to aim for would be 74-82º F (23-28º C). You can also manually fill a bucket to restore water levels in the aquarium to normal. Add any chemical treatments, such as de-chlorinator, while the tank is filling. If you’re using the bucket-method, then add...

Верните декор, искусственные растения и фильтр обратно в аквариум. Подключите к сети водонагреватель и запустите фильтр.


Discovering that your friends share different values than you doesn’t require that you cease your friendship, but having common ground is certainly a good way to build a friendship.  A friend who does not share the same truths or point of view that we do can be difficult to empathize with.  To consider how you and your friend’s values correspond (or don’t), make a list of each of your perspectives on a variety of important subjects, including:  Political alignment Religious beliefs Views on women’s rights and reproductive health Views on recreational drug use Emphasis on acquiring material goods and money   Being active when seeking and choosing friends is an important part of learning to select friends who are good for you.  If you wait for your friends to select you, you may find you have little in common with them. Evaluate the results of your analysis.  If you have lots of things in common and you two get along great, then you probably have a great friend who would do anything for you.  If your results show a high proportion of mismatched attitudes and interests --you’re a vegetarian, he or she is a hunter; you’re liberal and she or he is conservative -- you may have a hard time maintaining a friendship with that individual. Mismatched interests and attitudes do not necessarily preclude friendship.  Ask yourself: Do you truthfully enjoy spending time with this person?  Do they enrich your life and experiences?  Be honest with yourself.  If you don't enjoy being with the other person, especially due to their divergent values, the friendship might not be worth it. Did you feel invigorated and refreshed by your conversation?  Or were you worn out and tired of talking with them by the end?  If a long time has passed since you had a good talk with your friend, you might be drifting apart.  Do not expect someone who was your friend at one stage of your life to remain your friend throughout your entire life.  As people age, friends change due to a variety of circumstances including occupations, geography, and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сравните ценности вашего друга со своими. Вспомните, когда вы последний раз просто разговаривали. Насколько вы цените время, проводимое вместе? Обдумайте ваше общение. Определите наличие или отсутствие романтических мотивов.


Discovering the urine while it is still wet is the ideal time to clean up the mess. Use paper towels to soak up any urine that might be pooled on the leather surface. Do not rub the paper towels over the urine; that will simply spread out the stain. Instead, blot or dab at the urine puddle.  This step may require use of a multiple paper towels. If you don’t have paper towels handy, you can use a clean cloth or rag. However, take care not to use a cloth that is colored with a strong dye, since dye can easily transfer to leather and stain it. If the urine stain was made on a leather couch cushion, remove the stuffing from the affected cushion. Usually there is a zipper on one of the back or bottom edges of the cushion from which the stuffing can be removed. Put the stuffing somewhere off to the side to clean later with an enzymatic cleanser.  It is important to remove the stuffing because even if you catch the stain soon after it was made, the urine could still soak into the cushion stuffing. If the urine soaks into the stuffing, it can cause the urine smell to linger on the couch even after you clean the leather surface. If you’re unable to remove the stuffing, you may have to consult a professional furniture company to see if they could assist you. It’s highly recommended to use specialized leather cleaners to wipe down the surface of the urine stained leather. These cleaners can be found at pet stores, drug stores, or bigger retail chains. However, before you use the cleanser on the entire stained area, it’s a good idea to test it out on an inconspicuous part of your couch.  A successful urine stain cleanser is “Nature’s Miracle,” which can be found in most pet stores.  Consider testing the cleaner on small areas near the rear or bottom of your couch. If the cleanser reacts negatively on the leather, you will have saved yourself from ruining the entire visible area of the urine stain.

TL;DR in Russian:

Впитайте пятно мочи. Извлеките набивку. Проведите проверку чистящего средства.


Discuss Odansetron, Promethazine, and other anti-nausea medications with your doctor to see if these can ease your sickness or vomiting. Whether your nausea is caused by chemo or morning sickness, many of these can take the edge off your queasiness and help you go about your day.  Always tell your doctor what other medications and supplements you are taking so they can manage your medication regimen. Do not take multiple anti-nausea medications at the same time, as this can have serious side effects. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing so they can weigh the benefits and risks of using prescription anti-nausea medications. Take 1 pill of over-the-counter anti-nausea medication, such as Dramamine, about half an hour before participating in any activities that make you feel motion-sick. Adults and children over 12 can take Dramamine every 4-6 hours as needed to reduce sickness after nausea has set in. Talk to your child’s pediatrician to determine if Dramamine is safe for your child under 12. Stimulate the P6 acupressure point—thought to relieve nausea—by wearing acupressure cuffs, such as Sea Bands. These bands have no known side effects and are safe to wear throughout the day, if they help you. You can also stimulate this pressure point without a band by pressing about 2 finger-widths down from the crease on the inside of your wrist. Probiotic supplements may help in the treatment of acute nausea and vomiting. These work by helping to restore the microbial ecosystem in your GI tract. There are many types of probiotics available from most pharmacies and drug stores, and each may be formulated to help with specific issues. Take the supplement as indicated on the packaging, or as otherwise directed by your doctor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обсудите с врачом возможность приема препаратов от тошноты. При эпизодической тошноте используйте Дименгидринат. Носите на запястьях акупрессурные браслеты. Принимайте пробиотики.


Discuss TUMT with your doctor if you have trouble with straining, urgency, or intermittent urine flow. This in-office procedure uses microwaves to destroy select portions of prostate tissue that are causing urinary blockages.  TUMT will not correct any bladder-emptying issues and is best for mild-to-moderate prostate blockages. Most discomfort from TUMT can be managed with topical anesthetic and oral pain medication in the doctor’s office. Ask your doctor about TUNA, which destroys problematic tissue with high-frequency radio waves for a better flow of urine. The procedure involves needles being inserted directly into the prostate to target tissue compressing the urethra.  This procedure is often done in a hospital setting but does not require a hospital stay. Local anesthesia is used to manage pain. Some side effects are possible after the procedure, including painful or frequent urination for a few weeks. Talk to your doctor about a prostatic stent, which is a small coil inserted into the urethra to keep it open. Most doctors do not prefer stents, but if you have severe enlargement and don’t want to manage symptoms with drugs or other procedures, it can be a viable option. Stents can shift position over time, causing further discomfort or urinary tract infections. They can also be difficult to remove if they are problematic. Talk over surgical options with your doctor if your symptoms are not well-managed on medication or after minimally invasive procedures. While surgical procedures can sound intimidating, they often provide the most complete symptom relief.  Your doctor can discuss the best surgical options for you given your urinary symptoms and medical history. Depending upon your age and fertility needs after the surgery, your doctor may present different options for treating your enlarged prostate. Common surgical options include prostatectomy, laser surgery, and transurethral incision or resection of the prostate.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о трансуретральной микроволновой терапии (ТУМТ) при частых и неотложных позывах. Обсудите трансуретральную радиоволновую игольчатую абляцию (ТУИА) для улучшения потока. Проконсультируйтесь по поводу простатического стента, если операции или препараты вам не подходят. Обсудите более инвазивные хирургические варианты, если это необходимо.


Discuss and determine your relationship goals with one another. Being on the same page with each other about the future of your relationship, whether that is marriage or partnership, children, or simply cohabitation, will ultimately strengthen your relationship and sort out priorities. If you both have different ideas of what your future holds, as in one of you wants a long-term cohabiting relationship and the other doesn't, then it might be best to end the relationship sooner than later. Moving in together is a big step and many people take time to overcome their reservations about cohabitation. Acknowledge your boyfriend's experience and desires and give him space and time to come around. Giving him his space to sort out his resistance will show your care and commitment to the relationship.  Avoid pressuring him into “wanting” to live together. Cohabitation is a big commitment and should be a mutual decision. Respecting your boyfriend's space does not mean forgetting about moving in together. Be sure to set a time to return to the conversation after he's had time to think about it. Finances can control a significant amount of timing in a relationship. You may not be in a place financially stable enough to move out of where you currently live, or one of you might make significantly more than the other. Whatever the issue or imbalance, discussing your finances will help you both be on the same page about the possibility of moving in together.  Lay out all of your financial information: credit score, credit card debt or student loans, income, assets, and other financial obligations.  Discuss how the rent and bills will be divided. Remember, fair is not always equal.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обсудите будущее и цели ваших отношений. Уважайте его личное пространство. Обсудите финансовую сторону.


Discuss the severity and frequency of your nausea with your doctor if it's caused by taking medication. In addition to altering the timing and dosages of your medications, he may be able to switch formulations or change to an alternate type of drug with similar properties. Don't make any changes yourself without consulting your doctor.  Switching from tablets to liquid formulations might significantly alleviate nausea, especially in people who gag when they take tablets, pills or capsules. In some cases, changing to a different manufacturer or to a generic brand can make a difference due to the use of different dyes, binders and sweeteners used in pills. The taste of medication can make a big difference. Some people prefer sweet flavors, others prefer bitter or tasteless medication. If changing dosages, formulations and brands doesn't alleviate your nausea while taking your prescribed medicine, then your doctor may give you an anti-nausea agent. For example, dopamine agonists are especially effective for preventing nausea caused by strong painkillers (opioids), but they can also be beneficial for nausea caused by most other medications.  Dopamine agonists minimize the effect of dopamine at the brain's vomiting/nausea center, which is in the medulla.  Dopamine agonists are a good choice for reducing nausea if you're taking medications short-term, such as antibiotics or NSAIDs. Using dopamine agonists for too long (or taking too much) can actually trigger nausea, loss of appetite and vomiting. The use of serotonin receptor antagonists (ondansetron, granisetron) may be beneficial for long-term prevention of nausea caused by medication use. In general, serotonin antagonists are safer and have fewer side effects compared to dopamine agonists, but they're also more expensive, so their use is often limited by cost to the patient.  Selective serotonin antagonists inhibit the action of serotonin in the small intestine, vagus nerve and chemoreceptor trigger zone in the stomach. Consequently, the medullary vomiting...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проконсультируйтесь с врачом насчет того, чтобы изменить режим приема медикаментов или перейти на другие лекарства. Узнайте у врача насчет антагонистов дофаминовых рецепторов. Для достижения долговременных результатов попробуйте принимать антагонисты серотониновых рецепторов.


Discuss the status of your puppy’s vaccinations before taking your puppy to walk in public areas that are shared with other dogs.  Be sure to keep your puppy on a leash for her own safety. Give your puppy the opportunity to chew on an appropriate chew toy.  Praise her for taking and playing with the toy. If your puppy seems unsure about the chew toy, try putting a little tuna juice or peanut butter on it to make it more enticing. If your dog begins playing too roughly, you can give her a “time out” from playing for a while, even before a bite occurs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ежедневно берите собаку на прогулки. Заменяйте руки игрушками, которые можно грызть. Устраивайте щенку перерывы, если он переходит к грубым играм.


Discuss when and how you will contact the employer to follow up on the status of your application. Give your contact information, i.e., name, email address, phone number, and availability as well. You could write: I am reachable by phone or email. If you cannot get back to me, I will call you [next Monday]. It is polite to thank the reader for taking the time to review your materials. End with a cordial closing, such as “sincerely.” If you have spoken to the person via phone or in person previously, you might use a greeting like “best regards.” Do not use “Thanks” or simply “Best” as closings in formal correspondence. Sign your full name, e.g. Joanna Smith rather than just Joanna. Do not attach your resume to an unsolicited internship email. Unless the company is actively seeking interns, they may not want to open your attached copy, especially if they have a workplace policy about attachments. If the posting asked for a resume, attach your document as a PDF (as opposed to a Word document, where the formatting may be lost/altered when opened on a different system). Some employers may specify that they do not open email attachments. If so, include your cover letter and resume in the body of the email. Make sure to space them apart to make it easier for the employer to distinguish each document. If you have not heard back from the organization, email them again – or, preferably, call them. You could write: Dear Dr. Hansen, my name is [name] and I am following up on an email I sent you last week about a [fall] internship. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the position. Thank you. Sincerely, Joanna Smith.

TL;DR in Russian:

Укажите, когда вы будете доступны для контакта. Завершите электронное письмо. Подумайте о вложениях к письму. Действуйте так, как обещали в письме.


Discussing your partner's family is a sensitive subject, so you'll want to bring up the topic when your partner is in a receptive mood. Avoid discussing this when they are angry, tired, or stressed. Instead choose a time when you are both in a good mood and relatively relaxed.   It may even be a good idea to have the discussion when you are engaging in a mutual activity side-by-side rather than face-on to alleviate some of the tension. Consider bringing up the topic when you are driving or folding laundry. Say, "Baby, I've been wanting to talk to you about your family. Sometimes, I feel like they are very judgmental of me, and you don't seem to have my back." Also, keep in mind that your partner may need time to process what you have to say, so you might need to break up the discussion into a few conversations over time. Try to be sensitive to your partner’s needs and give them time. Be honest about what is bothering you. Your partner may not realize how their family’s behavior affects you.   Use “I” statements to express how you feel. For example, say something like, “I feel frustrated when we spend time with your family because of the things they say to me.” Try to keep your tone neutral during this conversation, even if you’re frustrated. Your partner might get defensive if you’re visibly angry. Say something like, “I know you love your mom and she means well, but it really bothers me that she always criticizes the way I’m raising our daughter. I’m starting to dread going to family events because she usually has something negative to say.” Often it’s best for your partner to handle issues that arise with their own family. Let them know that you need support from them.  You could say, “Next time your mom starts telling me how we should raise Olivia differently, can you step in and defend the parenting decisions we’ve made together? Your support would mean so much to me.” Avoid blaming them for not supporting you in the past. Try to focus on what you need from them moving forward. If you make any kind of...

Dish detergent works well for a basic cleaning. Mix a couple of drops of dish soap with warm water in a large bucket. Use a push broom with thick, tough bristles to apply the soap to the stone. Push the broom over the stone until it’s covered in suds, then rinse with water.  Don’t use a wire broom or a brush with wire bristles on a stone patio. Wire can scratch the stone. Make sure not to use any cleaners that advise against using on limestone. Mix distilled white vinegar with water in a spray bottle. Add less water for a stronger solution to help with deep stains. Spray the vinegar solution over the stone and let it sit for half an hour. Then scrub with a nylon brush. Mop the area afterwards to help remove the excess water and vinegar. Use the nozzle setting so the water sprays in a fan instead of a jet. Stand a few feet away from the stone with the pressure washer so you don’t break off part of the stone or causing it to flake. A pressure washer can clean basic dirt and grime off the stone.  Spray the pressure washer across the joints and not up and down the joints. Make sure not to use a pressure washer too often on the stone patio because it can hurt the stone. Only use a pressure washer once per season to protect the integrity of your stone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Почистите камни моющим средством. Приготовьте уксусный раствор, чтобы избавиться от несмываемой грязи. Используйте мойку высокого давления для въевшейся грязи.


Dish out the chunks of tofu into a cup, or several cups if you are serving multiple people. Try to distribute the tofu evenly.  Taho is often served in clear plastic cups, though it also can be served in bowls if you wish. The visual aspect of the taho is part of what makes this treat so enjoyable! Even if you are serving in a bowl, try to use a glass bowl so that you can see the swirl of colors inside. If you waited to assemble the taho and the tofu or syrup got cold, heat them for 40 seconds or so in the microwave. Taho is meant to be eaten warm. Take the bowl of sago pearls out of the refrigerator. Pour out the water, and press the pearls lightly with a paper towel so that they aren't moist. Then dish out the pearls into the cups. Include a generous amount in each cup. After you have added the tofu and the sago pearls, pour in the arnibal syrup. Again, use a generous amount so that every bite of the taho will include the sweet syrup. Use a long spoon to gently press the tofu aside and allow the arnibal syrup to trickle down to the bottom of the cup. Also try to push some of the sago pearls toward the middle of the cup so that they aren't all at the top.  Be gentle as you push aside the tofu. You don't want to scramble the tofu or cut it so that it loses its shape. Instead, try to prod it aside so that the syrup and sago pearls can get mixed into the middle and bottom of the cup. Mixing the taho ensures that each bite is equally enjoyable. After you have assembled the taho, serve it immediately while it's still warm! Eat the taho with a spoon, and enjoy this light, flavorful treat!

TL;DR in Russian:

Разложите кусочки тофу по тарелкам или чашам. Добавьте саго. Полейте тахо сиропом. Перемешайте ингредиенты. Подавайте тахо теплым.


Dishwashing liquid will cut through most grease and oil stains. Don't use automatic dishwasher detergent, since it can be too abrasive for fiberglass.  Your detergent or cleaner should not have any bleach in it. Bleach can also damage fiberglass, so verify that it's not an active ingredient in your mild cleaner. You can also make a homemade cleaner easily by combining vinegar with regular dish detergent. This cleaner may work particularly well in showers. Mix baking soda with water to form a paste that can be used to remove dirt on surfaces like a shower door or sink. Apply it to the soiled area and leave it in place for at least 12 hours. Follow up by cleaning the area with soapy water.  The paste may turn a brownish color when it sits on the dirtier areas of fiberglass. You can use vinegar to activate the baking soda after it sits on a fiberglass surface for deeper cleaning power. It should bubble a little, after which you can wipe down the fiberglass to get rid of the baking soda and dirty stains. Both of these substances can be dangerous, so be careful when you are using them. Acetone and paint thinner should only be used for stains such as oil or paint.  Since these materials can harm the fiberglass, only use them to tackle especially bad stains. Spot clean using acetone and paint thinner, so you don't damage any areas not heavily stained. Wear thick gloves when cleaning using acetone or paint thinner. It may be good to wear goggles as well, so you don't get either substance in your eyes. It can be dangerous, so be careful when handling rust remover. Mix it with water so the rust remover is not strong enough to damage your fiberglass.  Dilute rust remover with water by about 10% to make it less dangerous to handle. Mix carefully before applying to any fiberglass surfaces. Since this can be a dangerous cleaner, make sure to wear rubber gloves. Rinse the fiberglass surfaces immediately with water when applying the rust remover; don't let it sit on the fiberglass for long. As a safer alternative, try...

Disk Utility provides the same basic functionality as Chkdsk does for Windows machines. You will need a Mac OS X installation DVD. Hold down the “C” key. This will load the setup program for Mac OS. Choose your language to continue. You can find it in the desktop menu bar. Select the hard drive you wish to repair and click Repair Volume. If Repair Volume is successful, then you can run Repair Permissions as well.

Dislocated shoulders usually happen from sports injuries or falling on an outstretched arm. Signs and symptoms of a dislocated shoulder include: intense shoulder pain, an inability to move your shoulder, immediate swelling and/or bruising, and a visible shoulder deformity (it hangs lower than the other shoulder, for example). If you suspect a shoulder dislocation following some type of physical trauma, see a health professional (physician, chiropractor, athletic therapist) immediately for treatment.  Your doctor may take x-rays of your shoulder to confirm the dislocation and see if any bones are broken. Your doctor will either recommend or prescribe medication to deal with the intense pain of a shoulder dislocation. Remember that a dislocated shoulder is very different than a separated shoulder. The latter is a ligament injury to the joint that holds the collarbone (clavicle) to the front part of the shoulder girdle — the "ball and socket" shoulder joint is not displaced, as with a shoulder dislocation. Before you think about strapping or tapping your shoulder, the "ball" of your arm bone (humerus) needs to be relocated into the "socket" of your shoulder girdle. This procedure is usually called closed joint reduction and involves some gentle traction (pulling) and rotation of your arm in order to guide the bones back into alignment within the shoulder joint. Depending on the severity of pain, you may need a local anesthetic injection or strong pain killing pills.  Never let someone untrained (such as a friend, family member or bystander) try to relocate your shoulder — they may cause more harm than good. When your shoulder is relocated, the pain level should drop quickly and significantly. Immediately icing a relocated shoulder for about 20 minutes will help reduce inflammation and pain, but always wrap the ice in plastic or a thin cloth before applying it to skin. Strapping a shoulder that's still dislocated is always a bad idea and never recommended. Once the shoulder is relocated and the pain is reduced...

Disney princesses are big right now, but it can be difficult to dress like one in regular daily life. Fortunately you can incorporate modern-day Disney princess styles into your look.  You want to get the color scheme correct when you're picking what looks to use. For example: if you wanted to emulate Belle in her yellow ballgown, you might get a '50s inspired yellow dress, with golden earrings, and matching yellow headband, and shoes to match. You can create the princess look with a more modern outfit. For example: you might pick a pair of green jeans to match with a purple top, with fish scale like shoes and shell earrings for Ariel. You can get really creative with this and try out different outfits that are inspired by Disney princesses. You can easily buy a Disney princess costume, or you can make one. This latter is obviously more difficult, but can be very rewarding. Again, it depends on which princess you want to look like. These are good for Halloween and costume parties.  Making a gown like Belle's yellow ballgown requires that you have a sewing machine and the right colored material, but the end result can be very cool. Pocahontas's outfit or Ariel's mermaid outfit are easier costumes to make, because there is less material. o your make-up like a Disney princess. Most of the Disney princesses have subtle, natural style make-up, with eye shadow and lipstick depending on their outfits and so on.  Golden champagne and peach colored eye shadows are good choices to use for your natural look. You'll want to line your eyelids with a darker eyeliner (black or dark brown) and smudge depending on which princess you're emulating. While your hair is never going to look exactly like your favorite Disney princess you can get a hairstyle that is close to it. You can use this for your Disney princess costume or you can couple it with your modern-day Disney princess look.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оденьтесь как диснеевская принцесса наших дней. Создайте костюм диснеевской принцессы. Сделайте макияж, как у диснеевской принцессы. Поработайте над волосами как у диснеевской принцессы.


Dispensing of your dog’s poop may not be as easy as just throwing it in your trash can or flushing it down a toilet. If you are unsure, check with your local waste department to learn the acceptable methods of throwing away your dog’s poop. If you are at home, you can use your own trashcan to dispense of your dog’s poop. Keep in mind that your main trashcan could get quite stinky, especially if you keep your trash can inside or enclosed in your garage. To address this potential problem, you could keep a smaller, separate trashcan outside to collect your dog’s poop. When it is time to take your trash out, could transfer the dog poop to the larger trash can and set everything outside. If you are at a dog park or in another public area, you can find the nearest outdoor trashcan to throw away the poop. Dog parks usually have dedicated trashcans for collecting dog poop. Although the imagery may be quite unpleasant, it usually okay to flush your dog’s poop down the toilet. If you do this, make sure that you dump the poop out of the bag first. If you have a flushable doggie bag, you could put the entire bag and its contents in the toilet and flush.  Flushing may not be acceptable in your city, so check with your local waste department before using this method of pet waste disposal. If you have a lot of poop to get rid of, do not flush it all at one time. This could clog your septic system.  Be aware that flushable doggie bags may be expensive. This is an underground septic system, called a doggie dooley, that is specific for breaking down your dog’s waste. This could be helpful if you have your own yard. A doggie dooley is relatively easy to install, but you should consult with someone at your local pet store before installing and using one in your yard. Once you have installed the doggie dooley, you would follow the machine’s instructions to add water and a digestive powder to your dog’s waste. The waste would break down into an environmentally safe liquid that would be absorbed into the ground. If you are...

Disposing of spills down the drain or in the garbage can will prevent them from becoming stuck on the counter or prevalent in the air. Do large pots and pans by hand or place them in the dishwasher. If the dishes need to soak, place them in the sink with some soap and hot water right after you use them, to decrease the amount of time the cooked food or burnt bottom can be pungent. If you are cooking with oil, fish, garlic, onions or other pungent odors, place a small wastebasket or plastic bag close by. Use this garbage for scraps that should be taken out immediately after food preparation. Make a plan to wipe down surfaces while you cook and to deep clean weekly. Grease spots will attract more food, leading to more kitchen odors if left too long. Wash your dishtowels, potholders, and rugs every week. All these items can get wet and breed bacteria or mold. Close the containers and place them in the refrigerator. This will help to prevent food smells from permeating into the house. Not only do ventilation systems remove bad odors, but they also improve the quality of the air in your kitchen. Unless you are experienced with home construction, you will need to get a consultation and advice from a professional venting company. If you cannot afford to install a range hood or fan above your range, open your windows. Although this is not possible in all climes, cooking with the windows open will remove bad odors and allow them to drift outside, rather than through the house.

TL;DR in Russian:

После приготовления пищи убирайте за собой. Мойте посуду во время или сразу после приготовления пищи. Удаляйте масло для жарки сразу же после его использования.

Установите вытяжку над кухонной плитой.


Disrespectful behavior is always aggravating, but it’s not always intentional. Give the other person the benefit of the doubt, and don’t automatically conclude that they are intentionally out to hurt you. Ask yourself if the rude behavior is part of a consistent pattern or a one-off event, and think about whether or not it seems to be directed at you personally.  For example, if someone calls you names or purposefully pushes you out of their way, it’s pretty clear they are being intentionally disrespectful. On the other hand, if someone sends out a group email about an upcoming study group and doesn’t include you, it’s possible that they simply forgot to add your email to the list. Likewise, if someone makes an uncouth comment in front of you, it could be that they simply don’t realize they’re touching on a sensitive subject. It’s easy to misunderstand other people’s words or actions. If you’re not sure whether someone is intentionally being disrespectful, sometimes it can be helpful to ask. Keep your tone calm and use words that are neutral and non-confrontational. For example, if someone says something you think might have been disrespectful, you could say, “What did you mean when you said that?” Even if their behavior was pretty clearly disrespectful, do your best not to take it personally. Consider what the disrespectful person might be going through or what the underlying reasons for their behavior might be.  For example, some people may become snappish with others when they’re stressed or feeling ill. If they’re tired or distracted, they may simply forget social niceties like holding open doors or saying “Hi!” when they enter a room. Being empathetic doesn’t mean that you have to excuse the disrespectful behavior, but it can help you understand where the other person is coming from and react more appropriately. Sometimes your reaction to someone else’s behavior says more about your own emotional state than about anything they did. Take a moment to consider why you are upset by their words or actions,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте понять истинные намерения человека. Обратитесь за разъяснениями. Поставьте себя на место человека. Оцените свою реакцию на слова или поступок.


Dissociative amnesia is a condition often triggered by trauma in a person's life. A person suffering from dissociative amnesia will forget important personal information about themselves and events in their life, often as a reaction to forgetting the trauma. There will be large gaps in memory far greater than mere lapses of memory or forgetfulness.  Dissociative amnesia is diagnosed with a thorough medical history, plus exams to discount the possibility of the symptoms occurring due to a medical condition. Then, a psychologist or a psychiatrist may perform an interview or assessment to further clarify the diagnosis. People with dissociative amnesia may also experience symptoms of other mental illnesses like depression or amnesia. It is important that you understand the disorder and how it impacts the sufferer. The more that you understand, the easier it will be to help and to forgive the moments when you feel completely distanced from your loved one.  Also try to learn about what caused your loved one to develop dissociative amnesia. Typical causes include involvement in a disaster in which they witnessed death or were near death, an abusive childhood, major life stresses, time spent in a combat zone, involvement in an accident, etc.  Unless you were also present, you won't be able to completely grasp what they went through but it will help you to understand the depth of their pain. The outcome of treatment for a person with dissociative amnesia depends on a range of variables, including the individual's source of support and how he or she responds to treatment. In general, most people with this disorder regain their memories over time. However, in rare cases, some people never recover their lost memories. If your loved one has access to quality treatment and a strong source of support in your and others, he or she is likely to make a full recovery from dissociative amnesia. You can also gain a more thorough understanding of what your loved one is going through and how to be of assistance through a support...

Dissolve 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of table salt, sea salt, or Epsom salt in 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water in a clean cup, preferably in a disposable plastic one for each treatment. Soak the piercing or make a compress with a clean washcloth saturated with the salt water. Do this two to three times per day, fifteen minutes per session.  If you don’t see improvement in 2-3 days, or if your symptoms get worse, contact your doctor for help. Be sure to cover the entire piercing with the salt soak, on both sides of the hole. Continue to clean the piercing regularly with warm water and mild antibacterial soap. It’s also okay to dab a small amount of antibiotic ointment onto the wound if infection is present. If you notice slight signs of infection like some redness or swelling that doesn’t go away, it’s okay to call your piercer and ask for advice on how to care for it. You can also go in to see them if you start to have drainage – they’ve seen so many piercings they can probably tell you whether the discharge is normal or not. This only applies if a trained professional pierced you. If not, consult a doctor with any medical questions. Infections in piercings usually stay localized to the area of the piercing. However, if an infection spreads or gets into your bloodstream it can result in a serious, even life-threatening systemic infection. With severe infection you can have a fever, chills, nausea or vomiting, or dizziness.  If you notice that your pain, swelling, and redness near your piercing start to spread to a larger area, see your doctor right away. This might be a sign that the infection is worsening and moving to larger areas of your body. Your doctor will probably prescribe you antibiotics to prevent a severe infection. If the infection is already in your blood, you’ll probably have to stay in the hospital and have IV antibiotics.

TL;DR in Russian:

При незначительной инфекции попробуйте использовать домашние средства. В случае незначительных проблем свяжитесь со своим специалистом по пирсингу. Обратитесь к врачу, если вы испытываете жар, озноб или расстройство желудка.


Dissolve 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon (4 L) of water in a small amount of tank water separately and then add the mixture to the tank. Leave the salt in the freshwater aquarium for 10 days. Salt disrupts the fluid regulation of ich and also helps develop your fish's natural mucous or slime coats to protect it from ich parasites. Combine salt with heat to further effectively kill off ich.  Use aquarium salt that is specifically design for fish and not table salt which is not iodine-free. Never use medication along with salt and heat as the salt and medication can react and restrict oxygen within the tank. Change 25% of the tank water every few days and only add the correct amount of salt to water taken out. However, if the treatment is over, do partial water changes but don't add anymore salt. Partially changing the water everyday can help remove some trophonts and tomites from the tank and also add oxygen to the water. Be sure to use treated water so the extra chlorine won't stress your fish or agitate your fish's wounds. If water changes stress your fish, decrease the amount of water or frequency that you change.

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспользуйтесь солью для аквариумов, чтобы вылечить пресноводных рыбок от ихтика. Проводите 25 % замену воды.


Dissolve 1,000mg of powdered Vitamin C (buffered or ascorbic acid) in a half glass of filtered water. Mix it with a spoon and sip it down. If you do not like the taste of Vitamin C powder, you can have it in fruit juice with no artificial sweeteners. Drink 1,000mg of Vitamin C powder in half a glass of water every hour. Do this for one to two hours, or until you need to go to the bathroom. Check your stool to see if it is watery. This is a sign that you have flushed your body using the Vitamin C powder. It may take your body a few hours to flush and for you to have a bowel movement. Be patient. You should need to go to the bathroom within two to four hours of starting the flush. Make sure you note the time of your doses during the flush. You should also write down the dosage of Vitamin C that you had every hour. This will help you keep track of your intake and ensure you do not take too much Vitamin C at once. You should also write down when you had a bowel movement with watery stools. This will help you get a sense of how much Vitamin C you need to consume for the flush, especially if you plan to do the flush again. The Vitamin C flush works best if you abstain from large, solid foods. Try having liquid food that is easy on your stomach, like soup or broth. Do this for the two to four hours of the flush. Once the flush is done, ease yourself onto more solid foods.  Have lots of water during the flush to help move the Vitamin C through your body. Add solid foods like rice, quinoa, and cooked vegetables to your diet after you are done with the flush. After one to two days, have more solid proteins like fish, tofu, beef, and chicken. Once your body has been flushed out, take a little less Vitamin C every day for four to five days. Have 1000mg less per a day. Reduce your intake every day until you are only taking 1000mg of Vitamin C a day.  Reducing your Vitamin C intake gradually will ensure your body has time to adjust to the change and that your bowel movements are not negatively affected by the flush. You...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ежечасно принимайте 1000 мг растворенного в воде витамина С. Продолжайте промывать организм, пока ваш стул не станет водянистым. Запишите, сколько витамина C вы приняли во время промывки. Во время промывки ешьте жидкую пищу. Уменьшите прием витамина С. Проводите промывку раз в несколько месяцев или во время болезни.


Dissolve ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) of baking soda in ½ cup (118 ml) of warm water. Rinse your mouth and gargle with the solution for 30 seconds. Then spit out the mixture and rinse your mouth with fresh water. This simple mouthwash can eliminate bad breath, kill bad bacteria in your mouth, and help prevent tooth decay. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup (235 ml) of warm water and 1 teaspoon (5 g) of baking soda. Place your combs and brushes into the bowl and let them soak for about 30 minutes to remove oils and residue. Remove the combs and brushes from the solution and rinse them with fresh water. Pat them dry, and leave them to air dry completely. You can also use this same method to clean and deodorize toothbrushes, retainers, dentures, and other oral appliances. Use 2 teaspoons (10 g) of baking soda per cup (235 ml) of water to clean these items. Small amounts of baking soda can be dissolved in water to help soften skin and even alleviate diaper rash. Fill a large bucket, footbath, or baby bath with warm water and add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of baking soda. Soak your feet or hands in the bath for about 10 minutes to soften skin. For diaper rash treatment, dip the baby’s bottom in the water.  In very small amounts, baking soda can be safe to use for diaper rash because it will help to neutralize the acid (found in urine and feces) that’s causing the rash.  Only use baking soda sparingly and in small quantities on your skin, as the high pH can irritate and damage the skin.

TL;DR in Russian:

Полощите рот и освежайте дыхание. Чистите щетки и расчески. Добавляйте соду в ванну, чтобы успокоить и смягчить кожу.


Dissolve/Fade Out. This is not a filter but is useful to put at the end of a track of audio to avoid pops. Echo/Reverb. You use this effect if you did not pick it up on location and for psychological effects. Ask yourself how long a sound carries on in a location. For example if you clap your hands in a church then outside, the sound will seem to last longer in the church. This filter is used to match sounds you might have gotten from a library or recorded somewhere else to the location.   Equalizer. Think of it as a frequency specific volume controller. You use this to make different frequencies louder or quieter. It can be used to emphasize a voice and balance a recording. For example you may have recorded someone playing a piano but in the recording you mostly pick up the treble notes. Using the equalizer you can bring in more of the bass and mid-range notes. An equalizer can also be used if you just want the bass of the music, such as if the characters are outside a club. Here you would cut (lower) the high frequencies to create a realistic sound. Compression/Normalization. Dialogue varies in volume so a compressor is used to smooth out the loud bits which makes the dialogue seem closer and more intimate. This effect is used extensively on narration and whispering dialogue. Normalization is more harsh than a compressor and should not be used, unless the audio levels are too low to achieve the proper loudness even with compression. Notch filter. Notch filters are essentially equalizers set to remove specific problematic frequencies. You can get rid of continuous sounds such as fridge, camera, hum. This helps you eliminate rumble and sounds such as unwanted footsteps, traffic and wind. Set it to roughly around 80 Hz.   Expander/noise gate. This filter softens noise below a certain level so as to remove some background sound. Noise removal. This filter is available in Soundtrack Pro and works by you selecting a quiet part of a clip with bad hiss or background sound then it will work on the whole clip. This...

Distance yourself from your cell phone, the TV, and other electronics. Don't surf the internet, either. If the internet is still too distracting, turn off the Wifi and don't turn it back on until you've finished your work.  Download an application that blocks distracting websites, such as SelfControl. You could set your cell phone to Airplane mode, rather than turning it completely off, so that any incoming messages will be blocked until switching it back into its normal mode. Cold air will help to keep you awake, while warm air will make it harder for you to stay awake. Think of the nights you can't sleep because of being cold compared to the nights when the cozy warmth of a room causes you to nod off. If you find the cold air is effective in keeping you awake, you can even go to the bathroom and splash your face with cold water. Not everyone improves their alertness in cold air. For some people, it works the other way around; Warm air causes them to stay awake and the cold makes them fall asleep. Choose whatever works best for you. Don't set up a workspace on your bed, on a couch, or on the floor. If you work in any other place than a cold, hard table and chair, you will feel very tempted to sleep and the more comfortable the location, the worse you'll feel.  If possible, work somewhere far away from your sleeping area or bed, so that it's an effort to try to go back and sleep. Try to be around people. Knowing that others may be watching you may motivate you from sleeping in your chair. Be careful of slumping! When you're tired, slumping your body becomes a natural habit. However, make yourself sit up straight. It increases your state of alertness and helps you to feel better.  Try sitting in different places around the room. Don't lay in bed with your eyes closed. You will fall asleep, falling into a crazed dream state in which you convince yourself that the work has been done already. If you can't remember what you've just read or you're nodding off involuntarily, you need to listen to your body and go to...

Distilled water has had many of its minerals and impurities removed through a process of boiling and condensation. Citric acid reacts with several metals, which is why it can be used as a metal cleaner.  (This also explains why orange juice placed in an unlined metal canteen quickly takes on an unpleasant metallic taste.) Make sure they are thoroughly cleaned before use to avoid possible contamination of the solution and fungal growth.

Distraction is a mechanism used to avoid dealing with difficulties and feelings in our lives. Some distractions that are considered unhealthy include eating junk food when stressed or turning to alcohol or drugs. For example, if you have an anger management problem, you might turn to drugs to handle your overwhelming feelings. It’s healthier to acknowledge and let go of the negative feeling that you’re experiencing. You can still use a distraction, but know that the distraction is drawing you away from something that may need to be processed. Otherwise, you’re just covering up or ignoring the negative emotion you’re feeling. If you have an addiction, you might use a distraction to prevent yourself from using more.  This need for distraction happens because you’ve acknowledged the negative feelings of wanting to use. You are making a conscious decision to positively address your addiction.  Count to 100 to buy yourself time when you feel the desire to use drugs or alcohol. Use a distraction to give yourself a time-out before you deal with the negative feelings. Your natural inclination to a stressful situation or feeling might be to engage in an unhealthy distraction. You might want to eat too much junk food, for example, or drink too much alcohol. It’s fine to distract yourself after acknowledging the feeling. But choose more productive activities so that you’re treating your body and mind with respect and care. These might include:  Taking a walk Eating some fruit instead of a candy bar Reading a book Cleaning up your desk
