Pay attention to how the guy asks you out and how he responds when you invite him. Good guys will value your time, but a player won't.  Players usually ask you out on short notice. Since they aren't genuinely looking forward to seeing you, they turn you into a backup plan and ask you out only when they don't have anything “better” lined up for an evening. If you always get a “maybe” from the guy when you ask him out, it could mean that he doesn't want to commit in case another, more preferable offer comes up. A man who frequently cancels last-minute might do so for similar reasons. Players are inconsistent in their affections and may sway from one extreme to the other. You may not hear from him in weeks, and then suddenly, he'll start bombarding you with more attention than you can handle.  During “cold” periods, there's a good chance that he's spending his time with other women and is too busy with them to bother with you. During his “hot” periods, he's either lost his other options or lost interest in them. As a result, he returns to you in an effort to fill the void. If the two of you always meet at night, try asking him for a daytime date. Most players will strongly resist and reject the idea, and the excuses they give for doing so are usually pretty lame. If you can't change the time of the date, try changing the nature of it. Instead of spending time alone or going out for drinks, go somewhere with plenty of people and very little alcohol. The guy's odds of getting you into bed will decrease when you do this, so if he's a player, he won't be willing to make the change. Try to maintain eye contact when you're together in a public venue. Your eyes don't need to be locked the entire time, but his eyes should be directed your way for most of the date. Note that the occasional wandering eye may not be a terrible sign, but if his eyes are constantly wandering toward other people, there's a problem. Similarly, a wandering eye that remains stuck on another woman is also a bad sign. A player only cares about...

TL;DR in Russian:

Цените свое время. Переменчивое поведение. Измените место встречи. Поддерживайте зрительный контакт. Не торопите события.


Pay attention to how the person you suspect of talking behind your back speaks to your face. Someone who talks about you behind your back is often angry or upset with you. These emotions can come through in how they interact with you, such as thinly veiled jabs or backhanded compliments.  Even if the someone negates their nasty comments with a, “just kidding,” it may be that they are having trouble hiding their anger. An example of a backhanded compliment might be, “Congrats on getting in. I hear that’s great…for a state school.” Someone who talks about you behind your back may not want to be honest with you about their feelings. Asking the person a question or two can help you determine if they’re hiding something from you. If the person is reluctant to answer or seems as though they are lying, that may mean they have been airing their grievances elsewhere. If you suspect someone is unhappy with your performance on a group project, for example, you might ask, “Are you mad about the project?” If they avoid you or say they don’t want to talk, it’s possible they’ve been talking to others about their feelings. Go to a friend you know you can trust and ask them if someone has been talking about you behind your back. Assure them that you will not implicate them if you confront the person who has been doing it. Let them know that you simply want to understand what you may have done to deserve this treatment because it’s hurting your feelings.  You might say, “I think Lisa is talking about me behind my back. Have you heard any rumors? I wouldn’t ever tell her you told me, but I’m confused about why she’s mad at me.” It’s vital not to violate the trust of your friend who sheds any light on the talking behind your back. They are potentially exposing themselves to rumors and the anger of others by confiding in you. Someone who gossips to you about other people behind their backs also likely talks about you behind your back. If you have many friends like this, it may help to distance yourself from them if you don’t want...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прислушивайтесь к неискренним комплиментам. Обратите внимание, избегает ли человек ваших вопросов. Обратитесь к близкому другу и спросите, не слышал ли он какие-нибудь слухи. Обратите внимание, как человек отзывается о других.


Pay attention to if she has broken the touch barrier with you. If she has, you need to figure out if it is friendly or flirty. She might just be giving you a friendly pat on the shoulder or she might be flirting with you because she is interested in you. If she touches you often, it might be a sign that she is flirting.  The amount of time she touches you for is an aspect of what determines if the touching is flirty or friendly. Was the touch a quick brush or does her hand linger for a few seconds? Where she touches you could be a sign of what the touch means. Touching your shoulder might be something she does with friends, whereas touching your hand or face could be a sign she is interested in you. Notice if she reciprocates your touch. If you give her a side hug and she leans into it, she might like you. If she seems uncomfortable and pulls away from the hug, maybe not. If she gives you space when she talks to you, she might not like you. If she turns her body toward you and points her feet your way, she could be interested. Some women get nervous around guys they like. Touching her hair and neck are signs she is feeling jittery and nervous around you and might be interested in you. Some women look at the guy they like often. If she likes you she won’t be able to help but look at you. If you notice a lot of eye contact from her when you talk to her, she might be interested in you. If you know she is the kind of girl to get shy and nervous, she might be doing the opposite and not looking at you at all. This could also mean she likes you. If every time she is with her boyfriend she has a huge smile on her face, it might be a sign you should back off. If she always looks miserable with him, then maybe there is room in her heart to develop feelings for someone else. Paying attention to how she acts around her boyfriend might help you figure out how she feels about you, but it also might not mean anything. If she her look sad with her boyfriend, it does not necessarily mean she does not love him or that she...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обращайте внимание на барьер прикосновений. Обращайте внимание на язык ее тела. Обращайте внимание на зрительный контакт. Обращайте внимание на то, как она ведет себя со своим парнем.


Pay attention to reading troubles your young child might have, even if it's written off by teachers as nothing to worry about. You might notice your child struggling more than his peers when learning to read. Dyslexia also impacts motor coordination, affecting the ability to write clearly. Messy handwriting may be a sign of dyslexia. Since academics are based on reading and writing, your child may have issues in many or all of his classes. Even in hands-on classes, students have subject-specific vocabulary, but dyslexia makes it hard to quickly recall words because the part of the brain responsible for matching sounds to symbols (such as letters or numbers) is the same place pictures are matched to sounds. (Imagine looking at a duck and having trouble hearing “quack” in your mind!) Your child might become anxious and frustrated because of reading struggles. If your child is acting up in class, the school may blame the academic failures on the misbehavior instead of recognizing that a learning disorder is the root of all the problems. That confusion interferes with identifying and treating the cause of the problems, the dyslexia, which can make problems worse. The more that dyslexic child falls behind academically, the likelihood increases that your child will have frustration, anxiety, and lower self-esteem, —any of which can lead to depression. You might notice your child hates school, thinks of himself as stupid, or calls himself dumb. His classmates might do the same, causing socialization problems. Your child might hate going to school because of the pressure and anxiety of falling behind academically. Anxiety is the number one emotion experienced by dyslexic children. Low self-esteem and high frustration levels often lead to anger. A longevity study of 7-year-olds with reading disabilities showed that by age 11 they had much more trouble with behaviors and emotions than other children, despite receiving support for their disability. Dyslexia may be hard to diagnose, since it shares common characteristics...

TL;DR in Russian:

Наблюдайте, есть ли у ребенка есть трудности с чтением и письмом. Следите за изменениями в поведении вашего ребенка. Обратите внимание на самооценку и эмоциональное состояние ребенка. Учитывайте нарушения, имеющие сходные симптомы. Осознать уникальность вашего ребенка.


Pay attention to the activities that your crush enjoys doing. Then, attend their special events to show your support. Additionally, cheer them on and congratulate them when they do well. For instance, attend your crush’s soccer game or the play they’re starring in. Doing something to help someone shows them that you care about them. Step up to help if you see them struggling with something. Alternatively, tell them that you’d be happy to help them get better at something you’re really good at doing.  As an example, offer to carry their books, help them pick up papers they’ve dropped, or lend them a pencil when they need it. Similarly, you might offer to tutor them in math if you hear them say they’re struggling. If you were good at origami, you might show them how to fold a paper crane. Giving someone a mixed tape or playlist sends a clear signal that you probably like them. Choose 10-15 of your favorite songs to include on the mixed tape or playlist. Hand them the tape or place it in their bag or locker. If you made a playlist, send them a link.  Don’t fill the playlist with love songs because that can feel off-putting to someone you aren’t dating yet. Try to pick songs that you think they might enjoy. It’s really hard to ask your crush out, so start with a friendly hang. Invite them to study, to do an activity you both like, or to attend a group outing or party. Then, use this time to get to know them better. This can hint that you’re interested without you putting yourself out there.  Say something like, “I definitely need more study time before this test. Do you want to meet me at the coffee house for a study session?” “Did you see that our favorite band is playing this Friday? Did you want to go with me?” or “Some of us are going bowling on Friday. Do you want to come?” If they say, “No,” brush it off like it’s no big deal. You could say, “Let me know if you change your mind. I might invite some other friends in the meantime.” on their birthday or a special event. A thoughtful gift shows your crush that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Pay attention to the feet! Shoes help complete the overall look in Paris. You’re not going to see a lot of Parisians slumming it around the city in tennis shoes. Cheap or scuffed shoes will give you away as a tourist.  Instead of throwing on tennis shoes, invest in a nice pair of leather shoes or, especially, ballerina flats. Black ballerina flats go with everything, and they are comfortable.  Leave the UGG boots and flip flops at home, too. You don’t need to wear heels that are too high. In Paris, it’s considered tacky to wear super high platform heels. When dressing down, you will likely see Parisians wearing the ballet flats, short boots or tall boots. When dressing up for a more formal event, women will wear lower high heels, but not wedge or spiked heels. Get your shoes shined, and take good care of them. One pair of expensive shoes that lasts forever is a good bet in Paris. Parisians wear nice shoes even when they are in casual settings because they believe that the shoes elevate the overall look. In Paris, you won’t see a lot of women wearing unnatural colors (think lime green) or anything too gaudy. The same is true with fabrics.  Avoid anything synthetic. Avoid distracting patterns, too. Instead, stick with classic neutral colors, such as navy, white, black, or tan colors.  One benefit of sticking with neutral colors is that you can easily mix and match them with other pieces of clothing. They’re versatile. Parisians choose neutral colors for both formal or informal settings. Mariner stripes are an exception to the no busy pattern rule. They are very Parisian, and they are worn in casual wear most frequently, paired with jeans or casual trousers. Parisian style is sometimes compared to New York style, and one thing they have in common is choice of color. The major color in any Parisian’s wardrobe is black.  You will see black worn in dresses, jackets, and trousers. Throw a white T-shirt or buttoned-down dress shirt under a black blazer and wear skinny black jeans, and you're set! Black is a slimming...

TL;DR in Russian:

Уделите внимание обуви. Придерживайтесь нейтральных цветов. Носите черный. Носите классическую парижскую одежду. Обращайте внимание на посадку вещей. Не оголяйтесь. Покупайте меньше вещей, но тратьте на них больше денег. Уделяйте внимание деталям. Не носите береты. Одевайтесь как парижанин.


Pay attention to the friends you keep and their attitudes about others, themselves, and you. If you start noticing that the majority of your friends are highly critical, criticizing clothing, body, decisions, speech, or behavior on a daily basis, you may want to seek less judgmental friends. Try instead to find people who have nice things to say about others and are not quick to pass judgement. While having a few negative friends is perfectly fine, if you are surrounded by negativity, even if it is not directed at you, you are absorbing its effects. Even if your friend is pointing out the stupid looking hairstyle on someone else, if you happen to like that hairstyle, now you are feeling as though you were mistaken and losing confidence in your own opinion. Do not be quick to pass judgment, yourself. Trying to put others down may seem like it raises you up, but really, every time you knock someone else down, you are also criticizing a quality you possess and are knocking yourself down, too. Instead, raise others up. Not only will you have better luck making friends and having meaningful relationships, but you will also be elevating yourself.  If you find yourself condemning other's failures or decisions, think about why you are doing so. If your initial thought is "because they're wrong," think a little harder. Why is it wrong? In what context? Is it your cultural background or how you were raised that makes you think so? Would someone from another country or cultural background feel the same way? Just because someone is doing something differently than you would or is living in a way you would not choose, it does not automatically make them wrong. It doesn't have to be dangerous -- just go to a part of town you've never been to on your own and go into a random store. See what you find there. Try talking to the clerk. The more new and exciting experiences you rack up, the more likely you are to be excited by life instead of being scared of new things or new people. If you know that you're capable of doing...

TL;DR in Russian:

Общайтесь с заботливыми людьми. Чаще прощайте других. Совершайте одно волнительное действие каждый день. Устраняйте недостатки, которые можно устранить. Прекратите сравнивать себя с другими людьми. Выговоритесь близкому другу. Работайте, чтобы добиваться успехов в делах. Учитесь смеяться над собой. Собирайте всю доступную информацию. Попробуйте осознанную медитацию.


Pay attention to the soil after a heavy rain to see how it drains. You shouldn't see deep puddles remain, but the soil should stay moist. If the soil is too rich in clay, it will kill the cardamom plant, so find somewhere else in the garden or mix sand into the soil to break up the clay. The ideal soil for cardamom is loamy with a pH level between 4.5 and 7. Cardamom plants will die if they're in direct sunlight, so choose a planting area that has partial shade. If you only have a space that is completely shaded, it will work, but the plant may not grow as quickly. Cardamom plants usually grow under the canopy of trees that are above it. Since cardamom grows in subtropical forests, it needs high humidity to thrive in your garden. To plant the cardamom outside, the humidity needs to be around 75%. Cardamom also prefers temperatures between 64 °F (18 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C). Dig 1 in (2.5 cm) deep holes that are 6 to 18 inches (15 to 46 cm) apart. Place 1 seedling into each hole and surround the seedling roots with dirt. If you'd like to support the plants as they grow, drive a garden stake into the soil 2 inches (5.1 cm) away from the base of each plant.  As the cardamom grows, you can tie the plant to the stake. Avoid planting seeds too deep since they may not sprout if they don’t get adequate sun. If you live in a climate with temperatures that occasionally dip below 60 °F (16 °C), you may want to plant the seedlings in large pots instead of outside in the garden. This will allow you to bring the cardamom in when it gets cool.  If you use a pot, choose as large of a pot as you can for your space that's also easy to pick up so you can move it in and out of your house. If you do need to bring the cardamom inside your house, consider placing it in the warmest, most humid room of your house, such as the bathroom. Feel the soil with your fingers every day to ensure that the soil is most. Since the soil should never dry out, water until the soil is soaked. The cardamom plants will need even more water during the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Pay attention to the wording in the recipe when sifting your flour. The wording in a recipe affects how the flour is sifted. There is a difference between "1 cup flour, sifted" and "1 cup sifted flour."  If the recipe calls for "1 cup flour, sifted," measure the flour first. Then, transfer it to a bowl and sift. If the recipe calls for "1 cup sifted flour," sift a good portion of flour. Then, measure out however much you need for the recipe. You do not always need to sift flour. If flour has not been sitting in a bag too long, it may be light enough to simply use in a recipe. When flour is in a bag for awhile, however, it gets compact and needs to be sifted. If your bag of flour was squeezed into a cabinet, or had another item sitting on top of it, it's especially important to sift your flour. If your flour is not tightly compact, you may be able to skip the sifting process for some recipes. However, if you're making something that is meant to have a delicate texture, always sift your flour first. Recipes like angel food cake, for example, will require sifted flour. If you're going to roll out dough, or knead it, flour can help prevent the dough from sticking to a work surface. Sifted flour generally works better in this case, as it will have less clumps and spread more evenly. You should also sift flour if you're dusting flour over wax paper to roll out dough for sugar cookies.

TL;DR in Russian:

Pay attention to what is trending and use hashtags on all of your photos. Many Instagram users search for hashtags to find new users to follow—using the right hashtags ensures that people who are looking for your sort of content are able to find you.  For example, someone who posts photos from hiking adventures in the Pacific Northwest may use tags like #hiking, #method, #exploregon, #camping, and #mtranier. Someone who shares their illustrations may use the hashtags #illustrators, #artistsofinstagram, #penandink, and #womanartists. Some popular hashtags are #nofilter (unfiltered photos), #flawless (when you’re looking your best), #nochill (when life gets crazy), and #tbt (Throwback Thursday, a day when Instagrammers post old photos). Find Instagram users whose photos you enjoy and add them to your Follow list. Try to comment and like photos every time you go onto Instagram. It is very hard to become popular on Instagram without interacting with and trading likes with others. You most likely have a set number of friends who would be willing to follow you. Follow your Facebook friends on Instagram and they will surely follow back. When posting a new photo, tap your preferred social media option under “Share” and enter your username and password. This will post your Instagram photo, giving your followers on other platforms the chance to follow you on Instagram. While sharing some Instagram photos on Facebook or your blog can attract new followers, keep some content exclusive to Instagram. Remind your Facebook or blog followers that they should follow your Instagram for different photos. Let your Instagram account be where people can get to know another side of you. If you post something funny, caption it with something like, “Tag three friends who would think this is funny.” When people tag their friends on your photos, their friends will view your photo and usually like it or start following you. Geotagging adds a location link to the top of your Instagram photos, allowing people to see where you were and view...

Pay attention to what kinds of plants draw his attention, then avoid plants like that in the future.  For example, your cat might love wispy, dangling leaves that flutter in the breeze. In that case, buy plants with large, heavy leaves that don't look as much fun to play with. Yucca plants, for example, seem to be particularly irresistible, and your cat will chew on them without mercy. Zinnias and marigolds are other examples of "cat magnet" plants that you should avoid. If you already have an irresistible plant in your home, keep on a high shelf where the cat can't reach it. Make sure it's an unreachable shelf, or your nimble cat might just leap up there. You can use your cat's attraction to certain species of plants to your benefit. Place trays of catnip or grass around your home for your cat. Munching on these plants will help satisfy his need to chew, and hopefully distract him from your more prized plants. There are also some plant species that cats just can't seem to stomach. They often have a strong smell, like lavender, rosemary, or citrus plants. While you can enjoy the pleasant aroma of these plants, the smell will discourage your cat from chomping on them. You might also buy plants that have very high leaves that cats can’t reach, such as small trees.

Pay attention to where your angle the middle of your body. If your belly button is pointed at your date, you're indicating to the other person that you're interested. On the other hand, angling your body away tells your date that you're not interested. Raising your eyebrows shows interest or delight, so if you like your date, you can use it as a sign. That is, give your date a few gentle touches in the first 15 minutes. A handshake is a good place to start, but you can also pat your date on the arm or give his or her elbow a gentle squeeze. You'll probably do this action naturally if you're interested in the other person. It just means that you'd like to be closer to the other person, but since you can't, you're touching your face instead. If you stand or sit up straight, you'll automatically boost your own confidence. Your date will notice and likely find that confidence attractive. Also, be sure to look your date in the eye. It shows you have confidence, as well.

Обратите внимание на свой пупок. Поднимите брови. Прикоснитесь к человеку. Прикоснитесь к своему лицу. Стойте, держа спину прямо.


Pay attention to your friends and how they make you feel. Surround yourself with people who don’t criticize or judge you because it can negatively affect your body image. As easy and obvious as it sounds, smiling can lower stress, even when you are forced to do it. Giving a big grin can actually make you feel better about yourself. Furthermore, people will see you as approachable and trusting. If you get a compliment, don’t deflect it, take it!  If you are uncertain about your looks, it may feel awkward to get compliments and your anxious reaction might be to deflect or down-play the compliment. But you should accept the compliment instead. Once you do this a few times, you’ll feel more comfortable with accepting compliments. For example, if someone compliments your shirt, you might tell them it is a hand-me-down that you only wore because all of your other clothes are dirty. This is a reflection of your anxiety about your looks and can make both you and the person who complimented you uncomfortable. Instead, just say thank you and fully enjoy the compliment you earned. When a person is judgmental, critical or downright mean, others may not perceive you as beautiful. This type of person is not fun to be around. He’s not a good friend and he’s not a source of positivity. Drop the negative comments and find something positive to say about other people. You’ll find that people will, in turn, respond to you much more positively. Remember that the media’s portrayal of beauty is designed to make you feel inferior so that you will buy beauty products and new clothes. Keep in mind that body images are not the average. They are also usually enhanced by digital software like Adobe Photoshop. People who recognize this and who are more media savvy often have better self-perceptions. ,  Read up on media literacy to learn how to recognize how the media exaggerates physical qualities.

Friends can even help you work towards your health and fitness goals, which may help you feel more confident in your looks as well.  Find a gym partner or a hiking buddy. As easy and obvious as it sounds, smiling, even when you are forced to do it, can lower stress and make you feel better about yourself. Furthermore, people will see you as approachable and trusting.

Whether or not exercise actually changes your physical appearance, it can change your perception of yourself, which can lead to increased self esteem. A national survey of physical activity and weight has shown that people who were not satisfied with their body size were less likely to be physically active, regardless of how much they actually weighed. This finding suggests that just being physically active can be related to a better self-image.  The amount of exercise needs to be enough to give you a sense of accomplishment and needs to be regular, but does not need to be any specific type of exercise or be done for any specific amount of time. Certain foods, such as those high in carbohydrates and sugar, can cause you to become sluggish and negatively affect your mood. Foods that can improve your mood are those that are low in fat and release their energy slowly. These foods give energy for sustained periods of time and do not...

Pay attention to your physical behavior. Notice how you react instinctively when your crush is around. Different people will react differently, and generally it will be a subconscious reaction. Generally, when you have a crush you will react in one of two ways--either by becoming really shy and tongue-tied, or by becoming really outgoing.   The Shy Reaction: Do you suddenly feel like you might like to curl up into a ball when your crush is around? Do you blush incessantly and can’t seem to raise your eyes up from that suddenly very interesting speck of dirt on the ground? Do you suddenly feel like you don’t have anything witty or interesting to say? All of these reactions tell that you like the guy or girl in question.  The Outgoing Reaction: Do you suddenly feel the urge to tease your potential crush? When they are around, do you get the sudden urge to talk a lot because you want their attention? These are all symptoms of a crush as well. Just make sure that you don’t make your crush uncomfortable if you act this way--try not to tease them too much or they might not want to hang out with you.  The Flirty Reaction: Do you feel like you want your crush to notice what you are wearing or how your hair is done that day? Do you feel like giggling and joking around? Maybe you suddenly feel the urge to make sure you look as good as possible so that your crush will notice you. Batting your eyes, flipping your hair over your shoulder, and playing with your hair are all signs that you have a crush. The most common sign of having  a crush is the feeling that you have a million butterflies flying around inside you when that special someone is around. It can also feel like your heart does a leap when you see your crush and you feel warm and giddy.  Do you suddenly feel nervous but excited at the same time? Maybe you feel like you want to hug that person or be with them all the time. These are all normal reactions to having a crush. Do you feel like you would give up anything to be near that person? Having a crush can...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о вашем поведении, когда этот человек находится поблизости. Подумайте о том, как вы чувствуете себя в компании этого человека. Понаблюдайте за тем, как вы ведете себя в компании ваших друзей и вашей пассии. Определите, начали ли вы следить лучше за своим внешним видом.


Pay close attention to how many calories you consume in a day and see if you can cut back (consult your doctor to find a safe and achievable goal).  This is especially useful if you are overweight or obese. Excess weight could be a source of elevated triglyceride levels. Most women should aim to consume 1,800 calories per day, while most men should aim for 2,000 calories per day (this may vary depending on activity level and other factors). If you are in graver need of losing weight or lowering your calories, your doctor may put you on special diet involving even fewer calories, but you should not put yourself on such a diet without approval from your doctor. Also avoid snacking late at night before you go to sleep. Consuming smaller, more frequent meals is better than eating two or three large ones. Moderate exercise is an essential part of lowering both cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  Resist the temptation to set a rigorous exercise regimen. You may think that starting out with a challenging exercise program will lower your triglycerides quicker, but this is a bad move in the long run. Starting with something too difficult increases the likelihood of you quitting the program sooner. Begin by introducing 10 minutes of exercise into your daily routine, adding a minute or two every week until you can comfortably reach 30 to 40 minutes per day.  However, aim for at least 150 minutes per week. Add variety to your routine. Walk one day, bike another, and follow an exercise DVD or Youtube video on another day. Get creative. By introducing variety into your exercise program, you can keep things from getting boring. It may also help you to find a form of exercise you actually consider to be fun! Quitting smoking is an essential step in reducing one's risk of heart disease, and also in lowering triglyceride levels.  Smoking contributes to several "cardiovascular risk factors," including increased blood clotting, damage to the arteries, and worse control of "lipid levels" (including triglycerides) in the blood....

Pay close attention to your symptoms. People who have had a heart attack describe the pain as discomfort, chest tightness, a squeezing sensation, burning or an uncomfortable pressure or heaviness in the middle of the chest. This chest pain is called "Angina."  The pain may come and go. It typically starts out mild, gradually intensifies and peaks within the next few minutes. Pain does not worsen when applying pressure to the chest or when taking deep breaths, if it is the result of a heart attack. Typically this chest pain is brought on by exertion, any type of exercise or yard work, even a heavy meal in your blood as your blood flows and is moved towards your gastrointestinal tract. If the symptoms occur at rest, it is termed “Unstable Angina, and poses a greater risk of a lethal heart attack.Women and diabetics are more likely to experience atypical angina. There are several reasons you could be having chest pain. The most common are indigestion, panic attacks, a pulled muscle, and heart attacks.  If you have just eaten a rich meal or have just done a hard chest workout, you probably are having the symptoms due to reasons other than a heart attack. If you can't think of another reason for the symptoms, then assume you are having a heart attack and seek out help as soon as possible. During a heart attack, most people will have chest pain along with at least one other symptom. You often experience shortness of breath, dizziness or palpitations, sweating, or you may feel sick to your stomach and vomit.  Common heart attack symptoms include feeling a choking sensation or a lump in the throat, heartburn, indigestion, or the need to swallow repeatedly. A person having a heart attack may perspire and become chilled at the same time. She or he may have periods of cold sweats. Heart attack victims may feel numbness in either arm, hand or both. Some people experience a rapid and irregular heartbeat, heart palpitations, or shortness of breath. Look for atypical symptoms. For instance, although uncommon, the patient...

Pay specially attention to those written by women who have experienced it, or who work with it! Reading about other women's experiences will help you to understand the variety of possibilities during menopause, as well as reassuring you that you're not experiencing menopause alone. A good book to begin with is Dr Christiane Northrup's The Wisdom of Menopause: The Complete Guide to Physical and Emotional Health During the Change. Use books or the internet to research physical and emotional symptoms. Knowing what to expect will help when you're feeling irritable, dissatisfied, or impatient. Tracing these moods back to the reality of menopause will help you to work through them, rather than viewing yourself as suddenly ill-tempered. There are plenty of stories about the dreadful journey women go through when experiencing menopause, often published in women's magazines. The reality is that these stories highlight the less usual experiences; the more sensational and unusual the experience, the more newsworthy but that doesn't mean it's a reflection of the average experience. Look for books and articles that reflect good or neutral experiences, rather than simply bad ones. If you don't know what to expect from menopause, you'll be more vulnerable to the horror stories, the pressure to undergo treatments that you might not necessarily want to have, and the worry that your changes are out of your control. One way to combat this is to simply hear first hand accounts from women that you know! This will expose you to a variety of unique experiences. Information is power that leads to wisdom. As you absorb information on menopause, trust your own intuition, your critical thinking skills, and especially your body to tell you what is true for you.  You probably know much more than you think!

TL;DR in Russian:

Почитайте книги о менопаузе. Знайте, чего стоит ожидать. Читайте самые разные женские истории. Поговорите с другими женщинами. Верьте тому, что вы знаете.


PayPal allows you to receive credit card payments on your Apple or Android device. This is especially convenient for people and small businesses that receive most of their payments on the street such as food trucks, small street vendors, etc. In the U.S., PayPal takes a 2.7% fee for every mobile card swipe. The rate is slightly higher if you manually input the card number or scan it with your phone's camera (3.5% + $.15 per payment.) The app is available for free in the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Install the app on your device. You'll be asked to log in with your PayPal account. The App will confirm your address and phone number. It will then offer to mail you your free Card Reader attachment. Use the confirmation code you were emailed to complete the signup process. You can choose to include your location, website, and Facebook. This information will appear on your customers' receipts. The simplest option is to input each sale individually, but you may also want to create a list of individually-priced products to choose from. When a customer is ready to pay, plug the PayPal Card Reader into your device's audio jack. You should receive a "Card Reader Connected" notification. Select "Card" on the next page. Swipe your customer's card through the card reader. The card should be positioned so that it is upside down with its strip is facing away from you.  When swiping, use one smooth, quick motion, ensuring that the entire magnetic strip passes through the card reader. If you don't have your Card Reader yet, you can still take credit card payments. You will be prompted to enter the card information manually or scan it using your phone. Click "Complete Purchase" to finalize the sale and receive payment. Offer to email the customer the receipt.

PayPal is a good option for running a simple donation campaign. A PayPal payment button can be easily added to your website or blog and used to accept donations from anyone. The service allows people to donate to non-profits or private individuals through your email address. PayPal takes a fee out of each transaction. Donations received or sales within the US are subject to a 2.9% fee plus a $0.30 transaction fee. Qualified nonprofits may be able to lower that fee to 2.2% and $0.30 per transaction. The most widely used sites are Kickstarter, Indiegogo, RocketHub, and Quirky. These websites handle large volumes of crowdfunding campaigns. For example, over one billion dollars has been pledged to Kickstarter's projects. With these websites, you can take advantage of their brand name recognition to lend credibility to your campaign.  Projects for websites, brick and mortar businesses, music albums, books and inventions are commonly posted on these sites. Donors can search by location, type of project and popularity of projects. Be sure to examine the terms of each crowdfunding site and what services they offer. For example, some sites will help you create a convincing campaign, while others don't. Some will charge you based upon your earnings, while others charge a flat fee. Finally, some will not give you any money unless you reach your initial contribution goal, while others allow you to have any money raised. Look at these terms before signing up for an account on the website and consider which terms will be best for your project. For example, Kickstarter is best for creative projects, like art installations or a new product, but not for business crowdfunding or charities. In contrast, Indiegogo is more general and can be used for almost anything (except for equity crowdfunding). If you're raising money for education, consider using a website that focuses on this type of fundraising, like DonorsChoose. This website is specific to teachers and educators trying to fund projects in the classroom. Projects less...

Paying attention to the way someone acts can help you figure out some key things about their character. It can be very interesting to watch how someone interacts with people they don't know. Pay attention to this in a variety of situations.  Maybe you are out on a first date. If your companion treats the waiter rudely, that can be a negative sign. People who are rude to strangers might also be rude to people they know. There might also be issues with a superiority complex. Perhaps you are in a taxi with a new co-worker. Observe how they treat the driver. If your colleague refuses to answer questions or make small talk, that can reveal some negative things about character. It might indicate an unwillingness to be kind to others. Make sure to observe the person in several different situations. You want to be able to see how they react in a variety of scenarios. You don't want to judge character based on one interaction.  Look for patterns in behavior. Is this person consistently rude to the other moms at your son's school? She may not be a nice person. However, you might see that most times your new neighbor behaves kindly. Just because there was one rude remark about your loud music, that doesn't necessarily mean they are a bad person. Remember that everyone has bad days and good days. The key is to try to observe the person in a variety of settings. Reading people can be hard. Unless you know someone well, you may not really have a good grasp of their character. Fortunately, there are some signs you can look for to help you figure it out.  Notice whether the person seems very quick to anger or likes to talk about violence. This can indicate some anger issues. Pay attention to a tendency to blame others. For example, maybe your co-worker always passes the blame if a client doesn't like the proposal. That can indicate some character flaws. Be wary if the person seems to lack compassion. If you have an acquaintance who never gives up his seat on the bus to an elderly women, that is another warning sign. Lying is...

Paying attention to your horse’s eyes will help you understand how your horse is feeling (eg, alert, sleepy) at any given moment. Keep in mind that a horse’s vision is different from that of a person. For example, horses have a panoramic view of their environment (like a panoramic camera); because they are prey animals in the wild, it is important for them to have a wide view of their surrounding environment. Horses can also have poor depth perception, meaning that they cannot always perceive how deep or shallow something is; what we see as a shallow puddle may look like a bottomless pit to your horse.  If your horse’s eyes are bright and wide open, this means that your horse is alert and aware of his surroundings.  Eyes that are open only halfway indicate a sleepy horse.  If both of your horse’s eyes are shut, your horse is sleeping. If only one eye is open, it is possible that something is wrong with the other eye. You may need to call your veterinarian to determine why the other eye is closed.  Sometimes your horse will move his head in different directions to get a better of view of his surroundings. Horses will hold their ears in different ways to pick up different signals from their environment and indicate how they feel about what’s going on around them. Horses can move both their ears at one time, or move them individually.  Ears that are slightly forward indicate that a horse is relaxed. If your horse’s ears are pricked forward, he may be feeling interested in, or maybe even threatened by, his environment. If his ears indicate that he is feeling threatened, his nostrils will flare and his eyes will widen.  Ears that are flattened back are a clear sign that your horse is upset. If you are near your horse when you see this, move a safe distance away to protect yourself from injury. If one ear is back, then your horse is likely listening to something behind him.  If your horse’s ears are to the side, that means that he is concentrating yet relaxed. Horses can make a variety of facial expressions in...

Pea-sized gravel is ideal, as it holds together well without leaving too much open space, but you could also use a handful of small stones from your garden. A gravel or stone base will help promote proper drainage and prevent the soil at the bottom of the container from becoming too compacted.  Sand or clay particles can also be used to give the lower part of the soil a well-drained, loamy texture. It will probably be okay to forego the gravel layer if you’re using a container with good drainage holes and you plan on raising your roses outdoors. Just about any standard commercial potting soil will work for growing a small crop of roses, so long as it’s rich in nitrogen and phosphorous. Avoid filling the container all the way to the top—if the soil is too heavy, your roses may have trouble breathing.  Look for mixtures that are specifically formulated for use with roses. These soils contain all of the essential nutrients that roses need to thrive. Alternatively, you can try making your own potting soil mixture using one part soil from your yard or garden, one part organic compost, and one part horse, cow, or mushroom manure. Add a handful of garden compost, animal manure, or peat moss to the soil and use a hand trowel to churn the mixture until the organic components have been fully incorporated. Organic amendments will infuse additional nutrients into the planting soil and make it easier for your roses to retain moisture.  Some gardening experts recommend adding a small scoop of bone meal or humus to larger rose plants that require extra nourishment. You can also use a slow-release fertilizer meant specifically for roses in your soil. Apply it as needed or as the packaging recommends.

Peak flow meters only work properly if air is able to freely pass through them. Blowing into a meter that is obstructed by a foreign object will not provide an accurate reading and could cause unnecessary strain on your lungs.  Peak flow meters usually have an open orifice in the mouthpiece of the device; this is the area most likely to become obstructed, so check here first before use. When grasping the meter in your hand, make sure your fingers do not obstruct the sliding scale on top of the device. It is important to maintain good posture while using your peak flow meter because this will allow you to maximize your pre-test inhalation as well as your exhalation (which is measured by the device). Slouching or lying down while using the meter will not allow you to get a good reading. The sliding cursor on the back of the peak flow meter is what measures the force of your exhalation. If you do not zero the cursor before you use the meter, your reading will not be accurate. You can adjust the cursor by simply placing your finger on it and manually sliding it to the "zero" end of the scale, which is toward the mouthpiece of the meter. In order to register the most powerful exhalation you are capable of, you must first fill your lungs with air. Do this before inserting the peak flow meter into your mouth in order to ensure the fullest inward breath possible. Be sure to remove gum or anything else from your mouth before inhaling. Not only do you want to prevent blowing a foreign object into your peak flow meter, but you also don't want to accidentally inhale anything when you take your deep breath in. In order to get the best reading possible on the meter, you should place the mouthpiece between your front teeth and seal your lips around the opening. This will stabilize the meter and ensure that no air escapes from the sides of your mouth when you exhale. Pull your tongue backward, away from the mouthpiece, so you do not accidentally block the opening of the meter. The idea here is to get a hard, fast burst of...

Peanut butter is a classic solution, and most people swear by it.  It works so effectively because its oil content lubricates the hair, while the natural qualities of the peanuts break down the gum.  You usually want 80 grams of fat per 100 grams of peanut butter.

Peanut butter is a staple food for school age children because of its nutritional values and low cost. It's important to determine if your child is allergic before sending them to school where exposure is likely unless precautions are made in advance.  A young child with no family history of food allergies does not need a formal medical food allergy test regime. Children of peanut allergic siblings were studied and assessed with an ImmunoCap study to check for the allergy to peanuts. The study indicated that a peanut allergy was markedly and significantly increased in siblings of peanut allergic patients.   Allergies are believed to not appear until the 2nd exposure or later. Upon the first exposure the body may determine if the food is 'safe' or not, so small and gradual food introduction over weeks time may be the best approach, just like introducing any new food to a baby. The mucus membranes may be sensitive if the person is highly allergic, so eating the food is not always a requirement to test. First check to see if you child has an aversion to the odor (sinus pain or sneezing), any skin reaction on the back of the hand, or any burning or tingling with the food on the lips. With any high risk, top-8 food it's best to take it slow, because once the allergen is in the stomach, you aren't going to get it all out even if they vomit. It is commonly believed that peanut allergies tend to be more severe that other food allergies. Some allergic responses to food can happen within about two hours of eating the food. Others, such as anaphylaxis, can happen within minutes. If the allergy symptoms are on the mild end of the scale, track how much time elapsed between eating the food and developing the symptoms. Pay attention to other allergies. Between 25% and 35% of those allergic to peanuts have allergies to tree nuts as well. If the individual is presenting allergy symptoms when he eats tree nuts he may also be allergic to peanuts. If you suspect a peanut allergy, check the labels on foods that have been recently...

Peanut sauce is great as a topping or as a dipping sauce for a variety of dishes, including stir fry, rice noodles, pork skewers and other grilled meats. The ingredients are basic pantry items that you can keep on hand to whip up a quick Thai dinner on the cheap. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite peanut butter in a bowl with about a tablespoon of brown sugar, a teaspoon each of soy sauce, sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, and grated ginger, and sweet chili sauce to taste. Stir in a small amount of boiling water to thin the sauce to a consistency you like, adding more if necessary. Taste and adjust the spices to your taste. Serve on noodles or stir fry, topped with chopped peanuts, green onion, and cilantro. If you’ve got some leftover peanut sauce, a great use for it can be to mix up a cool-spicy coleslaw with shredded cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. While Americans like to claim peanut butter, the use of the peanut in African cuisine predates the use of peanuts in the Americas by hundreds of years. One of the most famous iterations and uses of groundnuts like the peanut is a spicy and aromatic broth flavored with peanuts and meat. It's delicious and simple to prepare. To make your own version, bring a whole chopped 3 lb. roaster chicken to boil in a pot with chicken stock, onion, garlic, two chopped tomatoes, and black pepper. When it boils, reduce to a simmer. In a skillet, gently heat a few tablespoons of chunky peanut butter with some hot water to thin it out and create a sauce. Season with red chili paste, ground ginger, brown sugar, and soy sauce to taste. When the oil starts to release from the peanut sauce, add it to the stock pot with the chicken and the vegetables. Let cook for 30 minutes. A fun treat for school lunches or after-school snacks can be making up some simple sushi rolls with sandwich bread, fruit, and peanut butter. Start with one piece of sandwich bread, spread with a thin layer of smooth peanut butter. On one edge, line thin slices of apple,...

Peanuts have a long growing season and require 100 to 130 frost-free days to reach maturity.  If you live in a cooler, Northern region, you should start the plants indoors roughly one month before the last anticipated frost. If you live in a warmer, Southern region, you can either plant the peanuts directly outdoors after the last frost or start them indoors a few weeks prior to the last frost. You can plant raw peanuts purchased at the grocery store, but you might find it easier to grow peanuts if you start with seed peanuts purchased from a gardening store.  Note that peanuts used as seeds must remain in their shells until just before planting. Otherwise, they will dry out too quickly and will fail to produce. Never use roasted peanuts. These will not germinate. Use a bowl or starter pot roughly 4 inches (10 cm) deep and fill it about 2/3 full with potting soil.  If the soil is not already damp, moisten it with a watering can now, before you add the seed peanuts. The safest container to use would be a paper or peat pot since you can place the entire seedling, pot and all, into the ground when transplanting. You could use a plastic bowl or pot if that is your only alternative, though. Make sure that container is clean before you plant the peanuts, especially if you are using a plastic container. Wash it with warm water and soap, rinse well, and dry with clean paper towels. Arrange four peanuts, with their shells removed, equidistant from each other on top of the soil, pressing them gently into the soil. Cover with roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) of loose, moist soil.  When shelling the peanuts, make sure that you do not remove the brown paper coating surrounding each nut seed. If you remove this or damage it, the peanuts may not germinate. You could plant the peanuts without removing the shell first, but they will grow quicker if you do remove the shell. If the soil is not moist when you add it, lightly water it with a watering can or spray bottle until it is moist to the touch but not soaked. If planting the seeds...

Pedialyte is an electrolyte drink used to hydrate human babies that are sick. If your baby raccoon has been left alone for too long, you will want to start by feeding him Pedialyte, and hydrate him before moving on to a milk replacement. Pedialyte is sold in most drug stores. When it comes to actual “food” for your baby raccoon, the very best choice is KMR, or kitten milk replacement, which can be found at most pet stores. This formula for baby cats will most closely resemble raccoon milk. Esbilac is your second best option. This is a meal replacement formula for puppies. Like KMR, Esbilac is available at most pet stores. This milk replacement formula for baby dogs will be a suitable alternative to raccoon milk. Cow’s milk, goat’s milk, soymilk, and most other milk products for humans will make the baby raccoon sick. Administering these products can lead to severe dehydration, malnutrition, and possibly even death. Use human infant formula, only in an emergency. In addition to the Pedialyte and KMR, you will need a few supplies. You’ll want to gather up an eyedropper, a pet bottle (or a human baby bottle with a premie nipple), a blanket, a washcloth or feather, and a hot water bottle.

Peel an apple with a sharp knife, then grate it with a cheese grater.  Finely chop an onion and crush a few garlic cloves.  Mix the apple, onion, and garlic together in a bowl.  Make sure all of the ingredients are equally distributed. The key here is to keep the ingredients from becoming "mush."  As an example, you will want the consistency to be more like chunky tomato sauce, rather than ketchup. Place a pan on the stove, and pour in about two tablespoons of olive oil.  Dump the ingredients into the pan once it is hot.  Begin to stir them with a spoon so that all of the ingredients receive some heat.  As you are stirring, feel free to add more olive oil if you feel as if the ingredients start to stick to the pan. If you are using a gas stove, keep the heat at medium. Once the mixture starts to cook, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, a small jar of tomato sauce, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.  Flavor the dish with pinches of salt and pepper.  Continue to mix the ingredients together as you add them.  Use a tomato sauce that is chunky as an added dimension to your dish. If you are not a fan of soy sauce, you can use Worcestershire as a substitute. Turn your pan to low, mid-low.  Let the ingredients heat up, as you continue to stir them every few minutes.  Once the ten minutes is up, turn the stove off.  Place the pan somewhere safe to cool down.  As your ingredients are simmering, feel free to add olive oil if your ingredients start sticking. Always remove ingredients at any time you see them beginning to burn. Tilt your lid to the side if you think the pan is too hot.  Let some of the hot air release before you put the lid back on. You can either pour the sauce over the pap with a spoon, or serve it on the side.  Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, and some added spices.  Feel free to chop up some tomatoes, or other vegetables which might compliment the dish.

Peel and cut them into chunks. Sprinkle sugar over the top. Add another layer and sprinkle with sugar again. Continue until all the chunks are used up. Leave in the refrigerator, covered. Cook until soft. Briefly warm the lemon juice and add it too. Stir through. Test for setting point, when a gel forms; this stage will be reached after about 15 to 25 minutes of cooking.  If gelling isn't occurring, add more lemon juice. Sterilize the jam jars during the boiling of the jam. Seal, label and date. Store in a cool, dry and dark place for 1 to 2 years.

Peel and dice a few potatoes so that you have about 2 cups. Place the raw potato pieces into a large skillet. Finely chop corned beef, either fresh, leftover or canned, into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in the skillet with the potatoes. Dice and onion and stir it in with the potatoes and beef.   If you are using leftover corned beef with cabbage, you can throw in some of the cabbage too. This adds a more savory flavor to your corned beef hash recipe.     Add some minced garlic for more depth of flavor.    Pour it over the meat and vegetable mixture. Cook them over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add Salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Peel and slice the banana first, then add it to the blender. Pour the half-and-half over the banana, then blend until evenly combined. This will create a nice, smooth base for your drink.  For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana instead. For a lighter smoothie, use whole milk or skim milk instead of half-and-half. These will give your smoothie a layer complexity and a final boost of flavor. If you aren't a fan of maple syrup, you can use another sweetener instead, such as: agave nectar, honey, jam, molasses, sugar, etc. You can also use 2 crumbled vanilla wafer cookies instead. At this point, you can also add other flavors as well. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Add some cocoa or mini chocolate chips for a subtle chocolate flavor.  Make a spicy-sweet smoothie by adding ¼ teaspoon (0.65 grams) of cayenne. You don't want any lumps, chunks, or swirls. From time to time, you may have to pause the blender, and push the ingredients down the sides using a rubber spatula; this will ensure that everything gets evenly blended. You can drink it as is, or you can garnish it with extra cinnamon, nutmeg, or banana slices. To make it truly dessert-like, garnish it with a swirl of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a dash of colorful sprinkles; finish it off with a maraschino cherry on top.

TL;DR in Russian:

Перелейте смузи в высокий стакан и подавайте.


Peel and slice the banana. Rinse the strawberries, cut off the stems, and cut them into quarters or halves (to make blending easier). Rinse the blueberries. For a thicker smoothie, you can use frozen bananas instead. If you don't have a blender, use a food processor fitted with metal blades instead. If you'd like your smoothie to be sweet, add in the honey. If you don't have any agave nectar, you can use another sweetener, such as honey, stevia, or sugar. If you are using frozen bananas, then you can use less ice or skip it entirely. From time to time, you may have to pause the blender, open it up, and push the ingredients down the sides with a spatula. Keep pulsing and mixing until there are no lumps or chunks left. You can serve it as it is, or garnish it with a few banana slices, a sliced strawberry, or a few blueberries.

Peel each banana to remove the skin. Place the bananas on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to cut each in half lengthwise. Rest each banana flat on the board and carefully slice each one in half crosswise. Place the pan on the stovetop and set the temperature to a moderate setting. Add the butter to the pan and stir it occasionally with a wooden spoon as it melts..  A 12 in (30 cm) skillet works best for this recipe.  Make sure that the pan has a lid as you may need it when you add the rum. Place the sliced bananas into the heavy pan with the melted butter. Gently stir the bananas as they begin to cook. While it is important to stir the bananas as they cook, don't stir them vigorously otherwise they may break or turn mushy. Place 1 cup (200 g) of light brown sugar, 1  tsp (4.9 ml) of vanilla extract, ½ tsp (1.3 g) of ground cinnamon, and 1 pinch of salt into the pan with the bananas and the melted butter. Stir the ingredients gently to combine them. Continue stirring the ingredients gently as they cook. Wait until the bananas begin to turn golden yellow and soften slightly, which should take approximately 2 minutes.

Peel each head of garlic and separate all the cloves of garlic within each head. The amount of garlic powder you wish to make will depend on how many garlic cloves you use. Each head of garlic will have about 10 cloves; sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. For a smaller batch of garlic powder, use one head of garlic. For bigger batches, use more. You can use your fingers to peel away the skin on the clove, or crack open the skin with your knife. Simply place a clove on your cutting board, and lay your knife directly on top of the clove. Gently push on the knife and garlic clove to loosen and crack the skin around the clove. You don’t want to push down too hard on the clove, because you want to keep the clove whole, and in tact so you can slice it. Use your fingers to peel off the skin away. Use a knife to slice off the root ends of the cloves. These ends are tough, and not necessary for flavoring. Then use your sharp chef’s knife to thinly slice the cloves of garlic. Slice the garlic cloves about ¼” thin lengthwise, or even thinner if you like. When all the garlic cloves are sliced, place them on a baking sheet or a dehydrator sheet lined with parchment paper.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разделите головки чеснока на отдельные дольки. Очистите дольки чеснока. Разрежьте каждую дольку на тонкие пластинки.


Peel off any labels or price tags first.  Wash the jars thoroughly with soap and water, then pat them dry. As an extra precaution, it would be a good idea to wipe them down with rubbing alcohol as well.  The benefit to using this method is that you can fill the jars with water, then add fresh flowers. The drawback to using this method is that you may end up with some visible brushstrokes. Apply the first coat, let it dry, then apply the second coat. It should take about 20 minutes for the first coat to dry. You can do this with a paintbrush or a foam brush. Once the jar dries, you can flip it over and apply 2 coats of the same paint to the bottom.  Work systematically from top-to-bottom. Make your coats light to reduce brushstrokes. You can always add a third one. Stick your hand inside the jar to turn it. This way, you won't get your fingers dirty or leave behind fingerprints in the paint. Some types of acrylic craft paint are actually enamel-based, meaning that it needs time to cure. In most cases, you will need to wait 20 days. Check the label to be sure.  You can tell if the paint is enamel-based either by looking at the label or at the drying instructions on the back. If the instructions say that the paint needs to cure for several days, it's enamel-based. If you are using regular acrylic craft paint, just let it dry overnight. Lightly buff the threading along the top of the jar with 120-grit sandpaper. Use the same sandpaper on the bottom of the jar. Buff any raised areas using 100-grit sandpaper. If your mason jar has a raised design, such as the word "Ball," you can sand it using an emery board. The finish you use is up to you. Use a glossy sealer for a shiny finish. If you distressed the jar, a satin or matte sealer would look better. A spray-on sealer will give you the nicest finish, but you can use the paint-on kind as well. Because you only painted the outside of the jar, you can use it as a vase for fresh flowers. If the jar gets dirty on the outside, wipe it down with a damp cloth. Never scrub...

TL;DR in Russian:

Удалите этикетку и очистите банку от оставшихся следов. Нанесите два слоя акриловой краски. Оставьте банку высыхать на ночь. При желании пройдитесь по окрашенной поверхности шлифовальной шкуркой, чтобы придать банке старинный вид. Загерметизируйте банку, нанеся на нее в два слоя акриловый герметизирующий состав. Прежде чем пользоваться банкой, дождитесь, пока состав высохнет и схватится.


Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water, and bring it to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook them for about five minutes, until a fork slides in easily when you poke a piece. Drain the water. Slice the cooked potatoes into small, pea-sized chunks, or use a potato masher to mash them into small bits. If the potatoes pieces are too large they may rip through the pastry puff. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and place the peas in the pot. Let them boil for about one minute, until the peas are tender (test one to be sure). Drain the water and reserve the peas. If you're using frozen peas, simply thaw them by letting them sit at room temperature for one hour. If you're in a hurry, submerge the bag of peas in cold water for ten or fifteen minutes to thaw them. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot enough to shimmer and slide easily through the pan, add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion for about five minutes, until it begins to brown. Put the curry powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, black pepper and salt in the pan with the diced onion. Stir the spices and the onion until the mixture is thoroughly incorporated. Stir them together with the onions and spices. Cook the mixture for two minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from heat and set the mixture aside while you make the pastry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отварите картофель. Нарежьте картофель на мелкие кусочки. Бланшируйте горох. Поджарьте лук. Добавьте в сковороду специи. Добавьте в сковороду картофель и горох. Дайте смеси остыть.


Peel the produce and set them on a cutting board. Then use a sharp knife to chop the onion into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces and mince the garlic clove. Dice the carrot into pea-sized pieces and transfer everything to a large microwave-safe bowl. If you're short on time, buy a package of ready-cut onions and carrots to use. Mix the meat into the chopped vegetables as you break it into smaller pieces. This will help the beef cook evenly. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl with the meat and vegetables. Then cut a 2 in (5.1 cm) slit in the plastic wrap so steam can escape. Microwave the meat and vegetables for 3 minutes using high power.  If you don't want to use plastic wrap and the bowl has a lid, set the lid on the bowl so it's slightly askew and steam can escape. Use caution when handling the dish since it will become very hot. Keep the mixture covered and microwave it until the meat is no longer pink. To ensure it's finished cooking, insert a meat thermometer into the center of the dish. The meat should reach 160 °F (71 °C).  If the meat is still slightly pink or hasn't reached 160 °F (71 °C), cover and microwave it for 1 more minute before checking it again. Drain off any visible grease from the bowl once the meat has finished cooking. Open a 14-ounce (411 g) can of chopped tomatoes and add it to the bowl with the meat and vegetables. Stir in 4 tablespoons (59 ml) of boiling water, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of dried oregano, and 1 beef stock cube or 1 teaspoon (2.5 g) of powdered bouillon. Lay the plastic wrap or lid back on the bowl and heat the sauce on full power. The sauce should begin to bubble and become fragrant. Taste the sauce and stir in ground pepper according to your taste. It's safe to taste the sauce since the meat is already cooked. Remove the lid and stir the sauce well. Then set the lid or wrap back on the bowl and heat the sauce for 10 more minutes. Stir it at the halfway point so the sauce cooks evenly. Carefully remove the sauce from the microwave and spoon it over the cooked spaghetti. Cover...

TL;DR in Russian:

Измельчите 1 луковицу, 1 зубчик чеснока и 1 морковь. Смешайте 300 г нежирного говяжьего фарша с овощами. Накройте посуду и готовьте смесь в микроволновой печи 3 минуты. Готовьте смесь в микроволновой печи еще 3 минуты. Добавьте к смеси помидоры, воду, бульонный кубик и душицу и перемешайте. Готовьте мясной соус в микроволновой печи 7 минут. Готовьте соус еще 10 минут и подавайте к столу.


Peel the ripe, processed acorns. Divide the kernels. Place in an ovenproof dish and cover. Roast in a low heat oven to dry slowly. Once roasted (light, medium or dark), grind. The resulting mixture can be blended into commercial coffee -- or used on its own to make acorn coffee. Read How to make acorn flour for instructions. Use the flour to make breads, muffins, etc. Korean cooking is largely the only cuisine that features acorn starch. Some Korean noodles and jellies are made of acorn starch. As acorn starch is a favorite part of this cuisine, many Asian grocery markets sell it. Use an olive making recipe and substitute acorns for the olives to make a treat/delicacy. They can replace many legumes and other nuts, such as chickpeas, peanuts, macadamias, etc. Follow your usual recipe and substitute acorn pieces instead. Like most nuts, they are a nutritious, dense food to use freely.  Make acorn dukkah, a dry spicy mixed dip, which has many uses, but is mainly used to dip bread that has been basted with olive oil or butter. Sprinkle chopped, roasted acorns over a fresh salad. Once roasted, remove and dip in very heavy sugar syrup.  Make "acorn brittle" candy, using a peanut brittle recipe, and spread it on buttered plates to cool.  Make an acorn nut butter spread that is similar to peanut, almond, hazelnut, or sunflower seed nut butter. Use recipes for low-carb pancakes (as crepes) or low-carb biscuits of acorn starch. Spread with acorn butter and add stevia! Their nutty, slightly sweet taste adds a lovely depth to stews. This can give these standards a nice lift in flavour, adding "conversation-piece" value.

Peel the stickers off the lemons and rinse them under cold water. As you rinse the lemons, scrub them with a sponge or vegetable brush to remove pesticides and dirt. Afterward, dry the lemons with a rag or paper towels. Cleaning the lemons will prevent pesticides from mixing with your lemon oil. Wear a pair of oven mitts when touching the hot bowl. Turn the stovetop off and remove the bowl from the pot of water. Set the oil on your countertop and cover it with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Wait until the oil cools to room temperature before moving to the next step. Store the lemon oil in a cool, dark area like the refrigerator or pantry. You can store the lemon oil for up to a month before it expires.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вымойте и высушите 5–6 лимонов. Дайте лимонному маслу остыть. Поставьте банку в прохладное темное место.


Pellet food is the ideal food for lovebirds, as it is formulated to give your birds the nutrients they need. Pick pellet food based on the age of your lovebirds. Make sure the pellet food contains natural ingredients and no additives or preservatives.  Baby lovebirds will have different pellet food than mature lovebirds. Mature lovebirds are 10 months or older. Look for pellet food made for lovebirds at your local pet store or online. Lovebirds also do well with supplemental foods in their diet like green lettuce (not iceberg lettuce), spinach, carrots, green peas, endive, tomatoes, parsley, dandelion, radish, cucumber, watercress, broccoli, sprouts, and kale.  They also do well with wheatgrass, as it is high in chlorophyll. Do not give lovebirds avocados, as they are considered toxic to birds. Lovebirds do well with fresh fruits like pears, bananas, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, apples, oranges, tangerines, kiwi, figs, melon, pitted cherries, and rose hips. You can give the lovebirds dried fruits as long as they do not contain sulfites. Look for a seed mix that has a wide variety of seeds like millet, canary grass seed, hulled oats, niger seed, flax seed, sunflower seeds, safflower, and grape seeds. The seed mix may also contain soybeans, rye, canary seed, whole brown rice, fennel seed, poppy seed, and sesame seed.  Because they don’t have much nutritional value for lovebirds, seeds should only be given in very small quantities as treat. Seeds should never be your bird’s sole food source. Make sure the seed mix contains a small amount of milo, as this ingredient is often used as a filler. Only use fresh seed mix. If the seed mix smells dusty or old, do not give it to your lovebirds. Lovebirds also enjoy shelled and unshelled peanuts, Brazil nuts, acorns, horse chestnuts, and hazelnuts. You can give the lovebirds nuts as a small treat or as a supplement to their regular diet. Lovebirds should not be given fast food or foods high in artificial sugar like candy, ice cream, or sweets. Do not give lovebirds...

Pellets and seeds are sold in pet stores specifically for mice. Mice do not require a lot of food. A tablespoon of pellets or seeds per mouse should be enough.  Go for a ceramic bowl over a plastic one as these tend to be sturdier and more resistant to chewing. Pick a smaller bowl. You do not want the bowl to take up a lot of space in your mouse's home. Make sure to place the food bowl far away from the bathroom area. Healthy treats are okay once in a while and can help with your mouse's health. Dog biscuits or treat branches are good for chewing. You can also give your mouse fresh fruits and vegetables from your own kitchen. Feed your mouse things like greens, blueberries, and apples once a day. Opt for small amounts and chop bigger fruits into pieces to help your mice easily swallow them. Mice are nocturnal, so it's best to provide food close to nighttime. You should also provide a continual supply of water at all hours of the day. Make sure to set some kind of alarm or alert. Mice need food every day, so you should not skip meals. It's like you skipping a days worth of food.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите корм для мышей. Иногда давайте своему любимцу разные лакомства. Старайтесь кормить мышей в подходящее время.


Peonies come in two varieties: herbaceous peonies and tree peonies. Herbaceous peonies are typically sold as root clumps, and grow into herb-like, green-stemmed flowers. Tree peonies usually have wooden stems attached to the root clump, and grow into woody-stemmed shrubs. Tree peonies also have a ridged bulge on the root with a different bark texture, where one variety of tree peony has been grafted onto another to combine the best qualities of each. You may follow these instructions for either variety, but be prepared to plant them at different depths:  Herbaceous peonies grow when the top bud is planted at a depth of 2 inches (5 cm). Tree peonies grow best when the graft is planted at a depth of 4–6 inches (10–15 cm), with at least a tip of the top stem above the soil. Peonies do not need to be planted this deep, but unless your flowerbed is already full of rich soil to this depth, a hole this deep is recommended so you can prepare rich, fertile soil for the deep peony roots that will develop after planting. A wide hole at least 18 in. (46 cm) across is recommended for the same reason. If your soil is rich, well-draining, and at least 18 in. (46 cm) deep, skip to the step "Plant the peony clump," below. Add 2–4 inches (5–10 centimeters) of dark compost, well-aged manure, or pine bark to the bottom of the hole. If your soil is slow-draining or poor in nutrients, make a 50/50 mix of this organic material and your garden soil, and keep it to one side to fill the hole later. To test soil drainage, dig a one ft (0.3 meters) hole and fill it with water. Wait until it drains, then fill the hole a second time. Measure how much it has drained after one hour, or measure after fifteen minutes and multiply by four to find the hourly drainage. Well-draining soil suitable for peonies should drain between 1 and 6 inches (2.5–15 cm) per hour. To speed up the peony growth, you may add ¼ cup (60 mL) balanced (10-10-10) fertilizer to the bottom of the hole. Some gardeners also mix in ½ cup (120 mL) bone meal or superphosphate...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите род пионов. Если ваша почва нуждается в обогащении, выройте ямы 30-46 сантиметров в глубину и одинаково широкие. Добавьте богатой, хорошо дренажной почвы на дно ямы. Добавьте удобрений и другие дополнения почвы (необязательно). Заполните большую часть отверстия упакованной, обогащенной почвой. Сажайте травянистые пионы так, чтобы почки торчали в 5 см. от поверхности Сажайте древовидные пионы так, чтобы почки были на 10-15 см. ниже поверхности Тщательно полейте. Накрывайте почву только в зимний период.


Peonies thrive best when planted in autumn, before the first hard frost. Peonies may be planted in the spring, but these plants tend to grow more slowly, and may not bloom for a year or two. If this is not available, peonies can still grow in areas with less sunlight, but their growth and bloom will be reduced. Peonies grow best in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 8, corresponding to minimum winter temperatures of -40 to +15ºF (-40 to -9.4ºC). If you are in Zone 8 or higher, peonies may benefit from afternoon shade, with full sunlight in the morning. Plan to keep each clump of peony tubers three feet (0.9 m.) apart. They are often used in flower beds, but keep them at away from trees and bushes, as woody root systems can compete with peonies for nutrients.  Keeping peonies spaced apart and clearing weeds to allow for air circulation is important for avoiding fungal infections.  Tree peony varieties will do better with four ft. (1.2 m) of space between them. If you are not sure what type of peony you have, see the planting peonies section below. Peonies may develop problems if planted in areas where other peonies were previously grown. It is possible this is due to reduced soil nutrients, in which case the advice in the planting section below may compensate for this effect. There may be some risk of a surviving fungal infection as well, however, so plant at your own risk. This is mostly a concern for tree peonies, which grow into small shrubs that can snap in the wind. However, if you are an area with unusually strong winds, plant any variety of peony in the shelter of a wall or fence. A large tree can also provide shelter, but should be located at least 10 ft. (3 m.) away so the roots do not compete with the peony.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сажайте пионы осенью. Выбирайте место, которое получает от шести до восьми часов солнечного света в день. Рассаживайте пионы в 0,9-1 метре друг от друга. Избегайте мест, где ранее росли пионы. Обеспечьте укрытие от сильных ветров.


People adopt different diets or eating styles for a variety of reasons.  Your ultimate, long-term goal will help you choose which diet plan is the best for you.  Some goals may include:  Weight Loss Managing high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol Supporting increased fitness levels Becoming more environmentally conscious Improving your general health or wellness If you've tried other diets or eating patterns, try to remember how they worked for you, what you liked or didn't like about them and whether you felt they were a good fit for your lifestyle.  For example, if you tried following a vegetarian diet, but missed eating meat.  Or if you tried a low carb diet, but it made you feel foggy and tired throughout the day.  If a diet didn't work well in the past, you may want to consider other options. Sticking to a diet plan takes more than willpower.  It truly has to be a plan you can stick with long-term. Each diet or eating plan may come with a cost.  You might need to pay for pre-made foods, protein shakes or vitamin and mineral supplements.  But there are also many diets that require little to no extra costs.  Choose a diet plan that will fit easily within your budget so that you don't have to discontinue your new eating pattern due to high costs. Take advantage of "sign-up offers" or promotional rates when you can.  This may help you save a little money on some of the more popular dieting programs. Some diet plans require you to prep all your meals and snacks from scratch, some may be completely web and internet-based and others may require in person group or individual meetings.  Will these types of activities fit with your current lifestyle?  Think about how that may change or need to change for you to be successful on your new dieting plan. If you have to change your lifestyle too drastically, the diet plan may be difficult to stick to long-term.  Some diet plans require time spent cooking while others do the meal prep for you.  If cooking is something you don't typically enjoy doing, think...

TL;DR in Russian:

People are always saying that laughter is the best medicine and strangely enough, it is something that can greatly help your health and your mood. Laughing helps increase your blood flow, heightens your immune response, help relaxation and sleep. It can even help lower blood sugar levels.  Put on your favorite comedy or take a youtube break if you're feeling stressed. The laughter will help you lower your stress levels. Get together with your friends and reminisce about your favorite, ridiculous moments. Laughing with others helps you feel supported and cultivates a more positive attitude. Everyone has to do things they don't like, but if that's all you do you will have a hard time loving your life. Make time every day to do something that you enjoy. Some days it might be a small thing, like relaxing in a bath, while other days you might treat yourself to a nice meal or a game night with friends. To love life you need to be willing to try out new things and to challenge yourself to do things that may make you nervous. Part of loving life and being happy is to not be ruled by fear, which will suffocate you in unhappiness.  Start small, especially if you have a lot of anxiety about doing new things. Take up knitting or cooking in the privacy of your own home. You learn a lot from YouTube tutorials on the subject and you'll be learning a useful skill. The more you try new things and get outside your comfort zone, the easier it will be to do so. It takes practice to deal with your fear of trying new things. Don't punish yourself if you end up not being able to do something (like skydiving, or traveling somewhere far away by yourself). There will always be things that you can't or won't be able to do. That's okay! Try something else instead. Singing, especially in a group, releases chemicals (endorphins and oxytocin) that make us feel good and happy and help to lower stress. Group singing lets you feel bonded to other people and part of a community, which is an added support system that can help you feel safe and...

TL;DR in Russian:

People are drawn to confidence and they are drawn to princesses because of their confidence. Kate Middleton is attractive for multiple reasons, one of which is her confidence. Emulate her confidence as well as her fashion.  Walk upright with your shoulders back and your head upright. Imagine that a string is in the middle of your chest pulling gently upwards without over arching your back. Meet people's gazes when you're out and about and smile. A princess cultivates a lovely smile. Fake your confidence if you don't feel confident. You can trick your brain into being confident if you act like you are. Start small, for example like smiling at people you don't know, and work your way up. Many princesses, both past and present, have been on the forefront of social change and the betterment of society. If you want to be like a princess, this is an important component.  Be like Princess Ameera Al-Taweel of Saudi Arabia who has pushed for equal rights for women, women's empowerment in the Arab world. Be like Princess Mary Elizabeth of Denmark who has been on the forefront of working towards poverty alleviation. A princess is elegant in her manners, as well as in her attire. Cultivating elegance is key to presenting as a princess. Grace Kelly was known for her elegance, poise, and serenity of personality.  Cultivate poise. Observe the way you walk: avoid strutting like a supermodel, or striding like a man. You want to have perfect posture and carriage in how you walk and sit. Never be in a hurry. You can move quickly without running, or appearing upset or rushed. Avoid slamming doors, running, clomping your feet on the ground, and so on. Serenity is important. You can't allow things to upset you or knock you off balance. When confronted with a situation that you don't expect, take several deep breaths and think before you act. Part of cultivating a serene and elegant personality, is to be prepared for anything that is sprung on you. Even if you weren't expecting something, meeting it with equanimity is important. ...

Укрепляйте свою уверенность. Работайте на благо. Совершенствуйте свою элегантность. Всегда будьте готовы. Не следуйте последним тенденциям моды. Смешивайте одежду из разных магазинов, которые вы посещаете.


People are hard-wired to have relationships with other human beings, so even if you don't have a romantic relationship, it's important to maintain social ones. Keep in contact with friends and family, and try to spend time with other people as much as you can. You don't have to be the most extroverted person to enjoy social relationships. Some people enjoy attending frequent parties with lots of people, while others prefer the company of a few close friends. Both are perfectly fine! While it's very important to maintain your existing relationships, it's also helpful to get out there and meet new people. Try joining clubs or groups that are centered around activities you enjoy. This will help you make new friends who share your passions. New friends can expand your horizons, which is always a good thing! Don't be afraid to talk to people who are different than you and try new things. Pets are wonderful companions. They can help keep you active and prevent you from feeling lonely, which is especially important if you live alone. If you don't already have one, consider adopting a cat, a dog, or another pet.  Pets make people feel needed because they rely on their owners for basic care. Dogs in particular can add a lot of structure to a person's life because they require regular walking. If you're not willing to commit to owning a pet, offer to walk your neighbor's dog or volunteer at a local animal shelter.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте общительным человеком. Знакомьтесь с новыми людьми, которые разделяют ваши интересы и увлечения. Заведите питомца.


People are interested in those who are interested in them. In general, people are most easily seduced by people equipped to make them feel good and special. If you want to be seductive, make a habit of complimenting others and making them feel good about themselves.  Take genuine interest in what other people do. Ask questions like, "That sounds interesting? What's it like teaching?" Pay people compliments that make them feel unique and special. For example, say something like, "It sounds like you work really hard. I bet you put in more effort than most into teaching." As you're complimenting someone, couple this with seductive body language. This will help you come off as irresistible. People are attracted to people willing to forge a connection with them. When trying to be seductive, listen to what the other person says. In turn, share things about yourself as well. Simply exchanging information with someone can make you more attractive to them.  When someone else is talking, give non-verbal cues to show you are listening. Nod, smile, and laugh when appropriate. Occasionally, reiterate what the other person has said to make sure you understood it. In turn, answer any questions the other person may have about you. Be willing to talk about your own job, friends, life, and family. Do not dominate the conversation, but create a sense of intimacy by openly sharing. A good smile and laugh, on occasion, can make you come off as seductive in conversation. Remember to maintain a close-mouthed somewhat mysterious grin much of the time. However, if a joke is made, offer a big smile and a giggle. People will feel flattered by someone who laughs at their jokes. A little bit of mystery is seductive. When first meeting someone, be the one to put an end to phone conversations, dates, and other get-togethers. If you say goodbye first, the person will be left wanting a little more. However, avoid playing games. Only leave if it makes sense to do so. For example, if it's getting late on a date, it's okay to duck out. Do not...
