A good kisser is a sign of a keeper, so improve your kissing skills if you really want to blow his mind. Being someone that's just great to talk to is also important, so get comfortable with talking and making those conversations memorable and significant. This is an important part of dating and really sets you apart from the other people in his life. Don't be afraid to be the one planning dates: he'll be a little turned on that you're taking charge. If all he wanted was someone he could have fun with and talk to, you'd be his best friend and nothing more. Set yourself apart by giving him something that no one else can. If you've never cooked before in your life, don't panic! It's easier than it looks. Practice and effort and you'll be worthy of your own show before you know it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Освойте искусство ласк. Станьте интересным собеседником. Станьте королевой Чудесных Свиданий. Умейте завести его так, как не может никто другой. Развивайте свои кулинарные навыки.


A good length/height is 6 inches (15 cm), but you can make the rocket longer or shorter if you wish. A good diameter is 1.5 inches (3.75 cm), but the actual diameter will be determined by the diameter of the rocket’s combustion chamber. The canister will serve as the combustion chamber for your rocket. You can obtain one from a photography studio that still uses film.  Look for a film canister whose lid has a stopper-like projection that goes inside the mouth of the canister instead of being held in place by a lip on the outside of the canister mouth. If you can’t find a film canister, you can use an empty prescription medicine bottle with a snap-on lid. If you can’t find a bottle with a snap-on lid, you can whittle a cork stopper that will fit tightly into the bottle mouth. The easiest way to make the rocket body is to wrap a strip of paper around the film canister as with the pencil or dowel when making the drinking straw-launched rocket. Because the canister will launch the rocket, you may wish to tape or glue the paper onto the canister before wrapping it around the container.  Be sure to have the mouth of the canister or pill bottle pointing out when you attach the rocket frame to it. The mouth will serve as the rocket nozzle. Instead of folding the end of the rocket body away from the canister into a nose cone, you can make a separate nose cone by cutting a paper circle, cutting from the edge just to the center, and folding the cut circle into a cone. You can affix the cone with either tape or glue. Add fins. Because this rocket is thicker in diameter than the paper rocket you launch with a drinking straw, you may want to cut individual fins to attach. You may also want to have three fins instead of four. An open, outdoor location is recommended, as the rocket can reach a considerable height when launched. If your water source isn’t near your launching pad, you may have to carry the rocket upside down or carry the water separately and fill the canister at the launch site.   As it dissolves, the tablet...

A good mattress, soft sheets, and a comfortable pillow can all make sleeping easier for you. If your mattress is not comfortable, ask your parents about getting a new mattress or a mattress topper. If your sheets feel rough or uncomfortable, ask your parents about getting something more comfortable. If you live in a noisy area, you may want to start wearing earplugs or turn on a fan to provide some white noise. White noise helps to raise the noise level so that random noises will be less likely to wake you up. Ask your parents about getting some light and noise blocking curtains to make your room a quiet, dark space. People tend to sleep better with a cool room temperature of around 65°F (18.3°C). Ask your parents if it is okay to change the thermostat so that it is closer to that temperature. You can also put a fan in your room to cool it down. Making sure that your bedroom is an inviting, friendly place can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Try putting up a few pictures of your friends and family near your bed. Choose photos that make you smile and feel happy. Sleeping with a security item, such as a doll, blanket, or stuffed animal, can make you feel safe and fall asleep faster. Make sure that you grab your favorite toy or blanket before you get into bed.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приобретите удобные постельные принадлежности. Заблокируйте проникновение внешнего света и звуков в свою комнату. Проверьте температуру в помещении. Повесьте несколько фотографий. Возьмите своего любимого компаньона для сна.


A good memoir isn't a life story; it's a peek into a time in your life when you had genuine feeling, a genuine experience.  Try to keep your memoir to a narrow focus on one time period or aspect in your life, ultimately drilling home a larger message. If written well, this one topic or time you went through will become universal and all audiences will be able to relate. Start thinking of writable material.  What's something you can't deny? What or who did you leave behind? What's something you did that you no longer understand? What are you sorry you never did? What physical characteristic are you proud to pass on? When did you unexpectedly feel compassion? What do you have too much of? When did you know you were in trouble? They will bring to mind the experiences you could write about.  If possible, go to the scene and relive the events in your mind. Just because you can't remember it off-hand doesn't mean you shouldn't write about it. Memoirs are all about self-exploration and there's more to you than just you, after all. You are the places you go, the people you love, and the things you have, too. This is one moment when your mind should be playing second fiddle to your heart. And if the emotions are scary, nonsensical, painful, or downright terrifying, all the better. Bringing these to the surface will help you stay in the moment and write with passion, purpose, and clarity.  If a train of thought gets close to a nerve, don't close the doors and draw the curtains. If you stop, your writing will go flat and you'll end up dancing around subjects. Take your mind to a place it may not want to go. Hiding behind those first thoughts may be something worth knowing, worth writing about. Listen to music that can metaphorically take you back in time or noticeably changes your mood. Anything that stirs your emotions and allows your mind to be absorbed back into that moment can shed light on the past. This not only gives you one or two hours a week to get mindfully organized, but it allows your writing to be organic...

Начните сужать рамки повествования. Отыщите старые фотографии, дневники и объекты ностальгии. Позвольте своим эмоциям освободиться. Испытайте возможности психотерапии.


A good mentor will help you learn to do things, but not do them for you. A mentor leads by example. For example, an academic mentor may offer efficiency tricks, advice, and examples to show you smart alternatives for success, but not help you copy edit your history essay in the waning moments before it is due. This is the difference between a tutor and a mentor. A good mentor will:  Assess your strengths and weaknesses Help you understand the structure and organization of the topic Introduce new perspectives and correct any wrong thinking Boost your ability to make decisions Familiarize you with the tricks of the trade Introduce you to important resources and useful references This type of mentoring usually consists of face-to-face sessions with someone who excels in the subject matter you are studying has the time to offer you a mentorship, and an interest in your academic achievement. Consider:  Professors, instructors, and other faculty Older or more experienced students Siblings or other family members Think about mentors who excel at the sport you're interested in developing. While athletic ability is an important part of a sporting mentor, also consider the human side of the relationship when considering an athletic mentor. A good soccer mentor will be a good sport, an intelligent athlete, and an all-around person as well as being a phenomenal soccer player. Consider:  Coaches and assistants Experienced players on your team or other teams Professional athletes or retired athletes Trainers Business and other professional mentors are usually successful workers in the field you hope to crack into, who will be able to offer you some tricks of the trade. This could be anything from stock trading to blues guitar. Think about who does what you want to do better than you do it. Consider:  Colleagues and business acquaintances An old boss, though not a current supervisor Workers with a great reputation Develop a relationship with someone you admire personally, not because of what they do, but who they are and...

A good old-fashioned toilet brush is your best bet if simple flushing won't remove your stains. The mechanical action of a brush (or a similar item, like an abrasive pad) will further loosen built-up stains and help remove them from the walls of the bowl after you've treated them with Coke. Be sure to wash your hands after scrubbing and wear gloves if germs make you squeamish.  For best results, scrub before and after using the Coke. In other words: Open the bowl and scrub the stains with the brush. Apply the Coke. Let the Coke sit. Scrub once again with the brush and flush to rinse the stains away. In general, chemical reactions happen much more quickly at high temperatures. The acid reactions that allow Coke to remove stains from toilet bowls are no exception. For difficult stains, try heating up your Coke in the microwave before you apply it to the bowl. It doesn't need to be boiling, but for best results, it should be hot to the touch, so use caution when handling the hot Coke.  Never microwave soda (or any liquid) in a sealed container or a container made of metal. This can lead to dangerous explosions of hot liquid. Instead, pour the soda into a microwave-safe glass (like one made of glass or ceramic), then microwave it. Heating Coke will make it fizz slightly more than normal, so you may want to wear gloves to avoid getting splashed with tiny drops of soda. While Coke can remove many stains, it's not always the absolute best cleaning agent for the job. For very difficult stains, you may want to try pairing it with other cleaning solutions. Here are some other cleaning methods you can try with items around the house:  Try mixing 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup baking soda (or 2 teaspoons borax) into 1/2 gallon (2 liters) jug of water. Apply the mixture to the toilet bowl, scrubbing and waiting an hour before flushing. Follow with Coke treatment as needed. For mold, try mixing one part hydrogen peroxide with two parts water in a spray bottle. Spray it onto the moldy surface, let sit at least one hour, and...

A good place to start is by importing all the personal contacts from your phone. After that, you can start expanding your search to include business connections, friends of friends and casual acquaintances.  In order to multiply your money-making opportunities, you’ll want to make sure that you’re able to hook as many eyes and ears as possible. Encourage your close friends and associates to begin using the app so that you can expand your professional network. With your audience now in place, you can begin zeroing in on who has the most to gain from your services. Tailor the content of your story feed to captivate the attention of these people, or communicate with them personally to really wow them.  Athletes, for example, will be more likely to want nutritional supplements, while new mothers may be interested in a seminar on how to manage time more effectively.  Analyze prospective customers based on the activities and interests listed on their social media profiles. One of the most useful features of WhatsApp is the ability to create closed groups of users based on some common interest or classification. A well-structured group can serve as a pool of contacts who you can guarantee will be responsive to your branding and promotions.  Your groups should have a definite purpose—for instance, they might give customers a place to offer suggestions about things they’d like to see in the future or provide feedback about a new product line.  Become a part of as many different groups at one time as you want. This will give you the freedom to fine-tune your marketing strategies even further. WhatsApp still doesn’t have the visibility of apps like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Fortunately, clever users can work through these other programs to build a bigger following. Make regular posts to keep your contacts updated, then guide them toward your WhatsApp profile for more information.  Let your friends on social media know about exclusive offers and other content that they’ll only be able to get by connecting with you...

Добавьте как можно больше контактов. Определитесь с целевой аудиторией. Создайте закрытую группу. Воспользуйтесь комбинированной рекламой в других социальных сетях.


A good prologue is usually no more than three to four pages total. Read over your draft and trim it down. Remove any details are are not necessary to the overall story or nice to have. Keeping your prologue short and to the point will make it that much more effective and ensure your reader stays engaged enough to move on to chapter 1. The pace of the prologue should be quick and brisk. Avoid over explaining something or giving away too much information to the reader, as you will have an entire novel to do this. You do not need to cram the prologue with information that might fit somewhere else in the novel. Keep only the essential details. One way to check the pace of the prologue is to read it out loud to yourself or to someone else. Mark any run on sentences or awkward moments in the draft and work them over until they sound smooth and to the point. Once you have edited your prologue, you should place it in front of your chapter 1 and look at how it fits. Does it feel like an engaging start? Does it contain any information that is also in chapter 1? Does it strengthen the novel overall? Your prologue should be strong enough to stand on its own, separate from the novel. It should almost read like a short story, with a contained story line and a conflict. However, unlike a short story, the ending of your prologue should remain open. It can introduce a conflict that will be resolved or addressed later in the novel, leaving the reader wanting more.

TL;DR in Russian:

A good pumpkin for painting has a smooth, even surface with no bruises, scratches, or blemishes. Pumpkins with light or very light or shallow ribbing will have the smoothest surfaces. Avoid pumpkins with too many lumps and bumps, or they will be difficult to paint. Look out for any cuts or wormholes that will cause problems, and make sure that the pumpkin is flat enough to sit upright.  Watch out for any soft spots in the pumpkin because that may be a sign of rot. You want your pumpkin to be fresh and to last as long as possible. Almost any variety of pumpkin can be painted, but the following are especially good: Baby Pam, Sugar Pie, Neon, Lumina, or Cotton Candy. Gently remove any dirt or grime using a dampened paper towel or a baby wipe. Use a soft, dry cloth to thoroughly but gently dry your pumpkin. Avoid brushing the pumpkin with a hard brush because you might bruise or scratch your pumpkin or just damage the skin. Take care not to get the stem area (top) or the blossom end (bottom) of the pumpkin wet. This can cause the pumpkin to rot. Before you start painting, you should have your heart set on a design. Almost any design can look good on a pumpkin, as long as it's not too complicated. Faces are popular, but you could also choose a black cat, bats, a haunted house, geometric shapes, or anything you like. Once you've chosen your design, lightly sketch it on a piece of paper for reference.  Let the shape of your pumpkin inspire your design. For example, a squarish pumpkin could become Frankenstein's head. Who says painting pumpkins is just for Halloween? You can paint your pumpkin to echo a fall theme, such as painting leaves or scarecrows, or just paint something completely random on your pumpkin. Have fun with painting your pumpkin and paint a self-portrait or a portrait of a member of your family. Though this is optional, applying a sealer to the pumpkin's surface before painting will help the paint better adhere to the surface. Purchase a craft-grade sealer at a hobby or craft store. Sealers are...

A good relationship will flourish when you have common interests and do things together. You might go snowboarding together or join a language class. Your relationship will last longer when you commit to doing active and interesting things together. Although you and your boyfriend have common interests, you also have your own interests. In a successful relationship, both partners will make an effort to do each other's favorite activities from time to time. A good boyfriend will pay attention to you, not his phone. It's okay to check messages once in a while, but if he is constantly checking sports scores or social media updates from friends, his attention is wandering away from you. A gentle reminder to put away his phone may be warranted, but if you have to constantly remind him, there might be a larger conversation about why he is choosing to ignore you. Make sure you also turn off your phone. He needs to feel like you're paying attention to him too. A good boyfriend will be affectionate with you by being physically close and cuddling.  Your physical chemistry is important for long-term happiness, so good sex is definitely important. But it's also important to be affectionate with hand-holding or snuggling while watching a movie.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посвящайте время общим интересам. Занимайтесь любимыми делами друг друга. Убедитесь, что он не проводит все время, уткнувшись в телефон. Будьте нежны и ласковы друг с другом.


A good research question needs to be clear, specific, and manageable. To do qualitative research, your question should explore reasons for why people do things or believe in something.   The research questions is one of the most important pieces of your research design. It determines what you want to learn or understand and also helps to focus the study, since you can't investigate everything at once. Your research question will also shape how you conduct your study since different questions require different methods of inquiry. You should start with a burning question and then narrow it down more to make it manageable enough to be researched effectively. For example, "what is the meaning of teachers' work to teachers" is too broad for a single research endeavor, but if that's what you're interested you could narrow it by limiting the type of teacher or focusing on one level of education. For example, "what is the meaning of teachers' work to second career teachers?" or "what is the meaning of teachers' work to junior high teachers?" A literature review is a process of studying what others have written about your research question and particular topic. You read widely on the larger field and examine studies that relate to your topic. You then draw up an analytical report that synthesizes and integrates the existing research (rather than simply presents a short summary of each study in chronological order. In other words, you are "researching the research."  For example, if your research question focuses on how second career teachers attribute meaning to their work, you would want to examine the literature on second career teaching - what motivates people to turn to teaching as a second career? How many teachers are in their second career? Where do most second career teachers work? Doing this reading and review of existing literature and research will help you refine your question and give you the base you need for your own research. It will also give you a sense of the variables that might impact your...

A good review introduction will not only hook the reader, but also provide a clear picture of the product under review and the product's advertised benefits.  For first-time users, dedicate some space to explaining the functionality of the product in some detail, treating the product as if all the features are new. Teaching new customers about a product is an important aspect of a product review. For experienced consumers, focus on the evolution of a product from one model to the next, as well as any common defects or problems users may have encountered in the past. Long-time users of a product will often read reviews for solutions to problems, giving you a chance to demonstrate your knowledge of a product. Provide the reader with the basic information a consumer likes to know before buying a product. This may include brand name, model number, measurements, target demographic, price, and so on. Talk about what you liked AND what you didn't like about the product. The most helpful reviews are those that outline both the pros and cons of a product, while readers will most likely skip reviews full of effusive praise or bitter criticism.  Make sure to clearly explain how you arrived at your judgments, and specifically address why you believe certain features are beneficial and why you consider others flaws. Most people will be looking for an unbiased review of a product, and thus a clearly explained, balanced review is more likely to be read than a review that focuses too much on the positive or negative aspects of a product (unless warranted, of course). Discuss the product under review in light of similar products available to buyers, comparing the pros and cons of each. This will both demonstrate your research and knowledge, and provide the reader with a point of reference when making their next purchase. This is particularly important for first-time buyers who may require a point of reference before deciding to purchase. Describe for the reader who you believe would benefit the most from the product, which...

A good rule is to offer your sincere gratitude three times - when your helper agrees to help you, when they've finished helping you, and the next time you see them after that. Remember that this person had no obligation to grant your favor - s/he did it out of personal kindness.  Your thanks doesn't have to be flowery and complicated. "Thank you  so  much" is simple and effective. Most people can tell if your thanks is genuine, so a small but heartfelt "Thank you" is better than an overwrought thank you speech. If the favor was a big one, consider writing this person a thank-you note or buying him or her a gift. Remember that when giving gifts, sincerity and emotional weight mean much more than the material value of the gift. If this favor requires your participation,  provide it.  Nothing is worse than asking someone for a favor, then not offering that person the full attention and participation the person needs to help you! For instance, in our math homework example, if we ask a fellow student to tutor us before the test, it's very unfair to show up unprepared or to text during our tutoring session. If the favor requires the use of certain items, do your best to provide these to your helper. If your friend takes time out of the day to help you with your homework, try to show up with paper, pencils, a calculator, etc. If you accept someone else's help, you should, in turn, try to help someone else. You might try asking your helper if s/he needs help with anything as soon as s/he's done helping you. If not, simply go on with your life, keeping an eye open for people in need. Remember that the initial reaction when someone asks you a favor may be reluctance or hesitance. Try to overcome these feelings. If you can (realistically) help someone, do it.   Think about how relieved you felt when this person agreed to help you. By helping others, you're giving them that same feeling of relief. Don't  only  help other people after someone's done you a favor! Strive to help others whenever you can - it'll make you feel great!

TL;DR in Russian:

Поблагодарите помощника. Следуйте уговору до конца. Будьте готовы помочь другим, когда им потребуется ваша помощь.


A good rule of thumb for partial dentures is to soak them in the vinegar solution for only 15 minutes once a day. This short amount of time will still soften buildup on the dentures without damaging the metal clasps on the partial dentures. If you notice heavy deposits of tartar (called calculus) starting to congregate on your dentures, it is time to start soaking them overnight in the denture solution. The solution will weaken tartar compounds.  Remember not to do overnight in vinegar with partial dentures unless you get the green light from your dentist. If you do not see tartar buildup on the dentures, stick to an overnight vinegar soak. Some dentists recommend that if you are going to do an overnight soak on a regular basis, only use a solution that is 10% vinegar mixed with water, and only for 8 hours. In most cases, the vinegar won’t actually dissolve the tartar, but it will soften it so that you can brush it away the next morning. The vinegar won’t remove stains on its own either, but it will make it much easier for a denture brush to do the work.

A good rule of thumb when making brown rice is to increase the recommended amount of water by 50%. Therefore, whereas you would normally use one cup of water for every cup of rice, you’ll want to use one-and-a-half cups to account for the difference in texture. Since brown rice is tougher than white rice, it needs to cook longer.  Unlike white rice, brown rice grains still have a natural fibrous bran layer. As a result, they don’t absorb water as easily and take longer to cook to the ideal temperature.  The amount of water you add to the rice is directly correlated to the overall cook time. When all the water has evaporated, the internal temperature of the rice cooker will rise, signalling it to shut off.  Though not a necessity, soaking the brown rice for 20-30 minutes before cooking can also help it get more done. Should you decide to soak your rice, only use one cup of water for every cup of rice. Make sure the cooker is plugged in and ready to go. Then, hit the “cook” button and call it a day. The cooker will automatically take care of the rest!  Most rice cookers only have a couple of settings: “cook” and “warm.” If the model you’re using is more sophisticated, be sure to program it to the appropriate setting before cooking the rice. Consult the owner’s manual to find out what settings are recommended. Once the rice is finished, give it a little time to achieve the right consistency. Holding off on uncovering the rice for a few more minutes will allow it to absorb any remaining steam and begin cooling off to an edible temperature. Leave the lid on the cooker as the rice sits.  Undercooked brown rice will often be crunchy and unappetizing. Don’t skip this step. It can be tempting to dig in right away when you’re hungry, but the full flavor and enhanced texture of the rice definitely make it worth the wait. Stir the rice from the edges inward with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Use the edge of your utensil to break up any large clumps you come across. You’ll now have a batch of perfectly cooked, velvety...

A good script can make even a mediocre director look good, so choose wisely. You can also write a script yourself, if that's something you enjoy and are good at. When you're writing, or choosing a script there are a few things to look out for that can help you pick the best script possible.  Structure is key to a good story. The three-act structure is a device commonly used for scriptwriters to come up with a good story. It works like this: set-up (Act 1), confrontation (Act 2), resolution (Act 3). Key turning points happen at the end of Act 1 and Act 2. A good script shows rather than tells. You want your audience to guess at what is happening based on body language of the actors, what they're wearing, what they do, and how they say the lines. Screenplays are, by nature, extremely visual.  Each scene has to be headed by a slug line, which tells whether the scene is interior or exterior, whether it is night or day, and where it is. (For example: INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT.) When describing action all you are describing is the actual, factual of what will be seen on the screen. For example, instead of saying "John enters the living room. He is angry because his girlfriend left him," you would say "John enters the living room. He slams the door behind him and kicks the sofa." Storyboarding is incredibly important so that you know how best to direct each scene, what camera angles you want, what you want it to look like. You don't have to stick to the storyboard as you're shooting, but it will give you a place to start.  Things that you'll be covering are: what characters are in each frame, how much time has elapsed between current frame and the previous frame, where the camera is in the frame (what the shot looks like). Your storyboard doesn't have to be perfect. It simply needs to give you a sense of the script and how the script should be shot. Decide on the tone for your film. A gritty film about a private detective in the 1920s is going to have a very different feel than a light-hearted comedy about the...

A good self-care regimen can boost your mood and help you relax. Take at least one day a week to do something just to make your body feel relaxed and nourished.  Self-care can include anything that helps you nurture your mind, body, or spirit, such as eating healthy meals, exercising, getting enough sleep, or spending time in nature. You might also do pampering activities like getting a massage, doing a facial, polishing your nails, or getting a new haircut. It’s easy to beat yourself up for having no friends. You might think, “I’m worthless” or “no one will ever like me.” These statements are not only false but counterproductive. Positive self-talk means talking kindly to yourself and countering negative thoughts with something positive.  If you find yourself thinking “no one likes me,” consider your family members who think you’re the greatest! You might say to yourself, “Wait, that’s not true. I have an entire family full of people that love me.” Make a list of what makes you a great friend, such as always being there when people need you. Reread this list often when you start to feel unworthy. . It might be hard at first, but there's always good around you. It's easy to see all the bad things in the world, and to always be negative. Be thankful for something in the moment like the sunshine or your health.  Start a gratitude journal in which you jot down three things that went well at the end of each day. After doing this for a while, you may start to notice that things aren’t as bad as you thought they were.  Instead of focusing on your lonely thoughts focus on wishing others well! Try giving a big smile to the people you pass on the street. Maybe you’ll get a few back. Keeping a journal is a fantastic way to get in touch with your thoughts and to see how they affect your feelings and behavior. Keeping a daily journal also gives you some much-needed time to slow down and to reflect on your life and values. A journal is also a great place for you to write your goals for the future and to figure out a way...

A good styling mousse will help give your curls the ideal texture for tousled looks. Work a generous amount of mousse into your hair from root to tip.  If you want textured, beachy waves rather than defined curls, use a sea salt spray on damp hair instead of the mousse. If you have natural hair, you may want to use a styling gel instead, since it has more moisture. Unless you are going for a slicked-back look, you should part your hair down the center or off to the side. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to create your part so that it is nice and neat. If you are going for a slicked-back look, comb your hair straight back. Hold the blow dryer under the ends of your hair while you point the diffuser at the ceiling, scrunching occasionally as you dry small sections at a time. Use low heat and take your time so you don't blow out your curls. Defined, springy curls are key to this look! If you're going for tousled waves rather than defined curls, you may want to let your hair air-dry most of the way before hitting it with the diffuser. When your hair is almost completely dry, flip your head over and blow dry the roots to get killer volume! Lots of volume, along with springy curls, are what set the tousled look apart. Tease your hair lightly at the roots if you want a little more lift. You can emphasize the tousled look even more by sprinkling a texturizing powder onto your roots. Then, comb your hair upwards with your fingers to create lift and volume. If you need to, apply a little more styling mousse to your hair first. Next, use a rat-tail comb to tease your hair at the roots, then use a brush to lightly comb the tips back towards your crown. Your hair should have enough structure to stand up on its own. If it doesn't, curl the hair around a round brush and blow dry it in the direction you want to style it in. To define your ringlets further, add a tiny amount of smoothing product to the lengths of your hair. Avoid applying it near the roots so you won't weigh down your curls.  Use a little more product to the...

Нанесите мусс для укладки на влажные волосы. При желании создайте пробор на голове. Подсушите волосы феном с насадкой-диффузором, но не до самого конца. Высушите корни волос феном, чтобы создать объем. Воспользуйтесь текстурирующей пудрой, чтобы придать прическе особенно отчаянный вид. Начешите волосы у корней, если хотите сделать прическу в стиле помпадур. Если у вас стрижка боб, нанесите на длинную часть волос разглаживающее масло или сыворотку. Обработайте прическу лаком для волос легкой фиксации.


A good way to deepen a connection with someone is to keep in touch. Show interest in your potential friends’ lives by calling, visiting, or checking in on them throughout the week, especially during the first few months of a friendship.  Although you should make an effort to spend time with your friends, recognize that not every relationship will be the same. With some friends, you may fall into the habit of meeting up every Thursday night. With others, such as long-distance friendships, you may only get together every other month or so. Find a balance for each of your friendships. Simply take out the time to let your friends know you are thinking about them and interested in their lives. There are few attributes as important as being a good listener when it comes to friendships, and all relationships, really. Typically, when a person is feeling down or stressed out, the first person you go to is your closest friend. Adopt the habit of being an active listener so that potential friends know that they can count on you for non-judgmental support. Show that you are listening by:  being comfortable with silence orienting towards the person, making eye contact, exhibiting open body language (i.e. arms and legs uncrossed) offering validation (e.g. “I understand this is a hard topic for you to discuss…” prompting the person to continue talking (e.g. “I see…” or “Umm hmm”) restating the message in your own words (e.g. “If I understand you correctly, you’re saying…”) reflecting what feelings you are perceiving (e.g. “It sounds like you’re really angry”) using “I” messages (e.g. “I can see that you’re sad, but have you considered…”) refraining from giving advice unless it is expressly requested A clear sign of a close friendship is feeling like you can confide in the other person. Talking to a friend about something that is bothering you - or exciting to you - can help you sort through your feelings, put things into perspective, and even release tension. Sharing with a friend who is empathetic and emotionally...

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно звоните друг другу или проводите вместе какое-то время. Слушайте. Делитесь тем, что с вами происходит. Соблюдайте границы. Оказывайте позитивное влияние.


A good way to focus on your body and bring your mind into the present is to monitor your breathing. It's the first step of meditation, after all. Get comfortable and focus on a deep inhale in and a deep exhale out. How do your lungs feel? Your diaphragm? Your nostrils and throat? Focusing on this can take you to an entirely different place mentally – a stress-free place of calm. Try starting out with breathing in for four beats and breathing out for eight. Do this for a few times, and gradually move up to inhaling for eight and breathing out for sixteen. As you breathe slower, your heart rate will also slow down, cuing your body to relax. When it comes to progressive relaxation, you have two basic options, and they’re both quite effective. Here are the details:  Progressive muscle relaxation. As you're laying down focusing on your breathing, start moving your focus to your toes. Relax them completely. Move up to your ankles. Let those go, too. Slowly but surely move up your body until every bit of you is consciously relaxed. Progressive tension release. For this type of relaxation, take a deep breath in. When you let it out, relax your body just a little. Then when you inhale in, let your body be. Don't try to do anything. But on the exhale, relax a little more. Continue this until your body feels completely relaxed. If you're the religious type, a little bit of prayer in bed may be all you need to feel a little more at peace. As you're doing so, remember to take a second to listen – it doesn't have to be just you talking, talking, talking. If that doesn't appeal to you, try meditation. Why? Tons of research has denoted that meditation helps alleviate levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. And you don't have to sit-up and say, "ommm," either. Just focus on your breath, and let everything you notice sweep over you without reacting. It's not about clearing your mind, it's about letting absolutely nothing fester. Sometimes the only thing you feel capable of is closing your eyes, and that's totally a-okay in...

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за дыханием. Сделайте несколько упражнений на расслабление. Попробуйте молитвы или медитацию. Попробуйте визуализацию. Сделайте себе массаж. Не старайтесь расслабиться изо всех сил.


A good way to hide condoms is to place them in uninteresting containers. This is a relatively safe way to store condoms as well, as they're less susceptible to damage.  An Altoids tin, toiletries bag, an unused jewelry box, or a coin purse are all good places to hide condoms.  One downside to this method is that if someone wants a mint or some change, they may find the condoms. It might be a good idea to keep the container in a discreet place as well. Condoms can also be hidden in clothing. Hide a condom in a sock, the sleeve or pocket of a coat you do not usually use, or a winter hat. Just make sure the item of clothing is stored in a safe place where it will not get moved around without your knowledge. Make sure clothing is not stored at extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures. You can purchase discreet cases in which to covertly store condoms. These cases are often disguised as mint tins or jewelry cases. They also may look like simple, non decorative containers. You can buy condom cases online or at sex shops. If you have an old book you do not need, consider cutting a square shaped hole in the center of the pages. You can place a condom in here or several condoms. Just be careful where you leave the book. If you leave it out on a coffee table, for example, someone may open it. It's best to choose an uninteresting looking book and tuck it away in the back of the bookshelf.

TL;DR in Russian:

Спрячьте презервативы в какую-нибудь емкость. Храните презервативы в одежде. Задумайтесь о покупке чехла для презервативов. Сделайте углубление в книге.


A good way to keep animals out of your vegetable garden is to build a fence.  You can choose from a variety of fence types to place around your garden, acting as a wall between animals and your vegetables.  Fences can work great, but they may be expensive and require some effort to install.  Keep some of these basic facts about garden fences in mind when considering one for your garden:  Many fences will require you to install fence posts before wrapping the fence itself around them. Most fences are built to surround an entire garden. The exact material and style of your fence is up to you.  You could use wood, metal or plastics such as polypropylene to create your fence. Some fences are electric and will shock any intruding animal that touches it. It can be a good idea to bury about 1' of your fence underground to block burrowing animals. Planting your garden in raised beds can be a great way to keep out weeds, make tending to the garden a bit easier and keep out some common garden pests.  Most raised garden designs are simple to follow and build, allowing you to create a pest resistant home for your plants.  Most raised beds can be made out of wooden planks, stones, bricks or concrete blocks. Building a raised bed that is at least 2' off the ground will keep most rabbits out. Adding a bottom layer of mesh fencing to your raised bed will keep burrowing animals out. You can still add fences and covers to a raised bed for extra protection. If you are concerned about specific plants in your garden, you can try adding small fences or covers over them.  These covers will help keep most invading garden pests away from your plant.  You can create your own plant covers or buy plant covers at most home and garden shops.  Adding a simple chicken wire fence around a plant can be enough to keep most pests away. You can buy garden fabric to cover your plants and protect them from being eaten. Young plants can be covered in deer or bird netting.

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите забор вокруг растений. Приподнимите грядки над землей. Накрывайте растения.


A good way to make putting your outfit together easier is to pick one item and craft the entire outfit around that item. Usually the specific item is one of the statement pieces, but it doesn't have to be.  Example: If you're looking to showcase a big gorgeous necklace, wear a plain, neutral t-shirt with a neck that's cut so that the necklace can be seen. Pair this with jeans and a pair of flats. This way the necklace acts as the most important part of the outfit with nothing to draw attention away from it. You can also work an outfit around a specific color. So for instance, one week you could wear something red each day and make outfits around that color and the next week you could move on to green. For instance you could pair a red skirt with a black blouse, navy tights, black boots and blue jewelry. ' This means find the two or three basic ensembles you like to wear and put together outfits using these as bases, while you mix things up a little. These will be the outfits that you feel most comfortable in.  For example, you could find that you tend towards an ensemble of skinny jeans (black and denim), a few different t-shirts (both long and short sleeve) with varying footwear (for instance, you could dress the outfit up with a pair of ankle boots or some flats). If you wear a lot of jeans you could mix things up a bit by rolling up the cuffs (a good spring or summer variation). You could vary between jeans and a sweater and skirts and a sweater. This would give you more range. The color and type of sweater could change and you could vary it with different jewelry, scarves and shoes, but the basic outfit would either be jeans and sweater or skirt and sweater. Mixing and matching clothing is your basis for choosing different outfits each day. This way you don't have to wear the same t-shirt and jeans routine that you always do (although that's perfectly okay if that's what you like).  Using a black blazer as an example: you could put the blazer with jeans, a white t-shirt, a bright blouse and flats. You...

A good way to make your friend jealous is hanging out with other friends. Many people fear they're missing out, and if your friend sees you making plans with others, he or she may become jealous.  Make sure your friend knows you're hanging out with others. If your friend asks you to hang out on a Saturday night, note that you're hanging out with another group. You can also bring up events that your friend missed when your hanging out with mutual friends. In a group, mention an inside joke you guys formed during a movie night your friend missed. A good way to make others jealous is to find subtle ways to brag about yourself. Outright bragging may feel too awkward for you, so find ways to work small brags into day-to-day conversations.  Talk about your accomplishments in a way that makes you look gracious. When you have success, try to talk about it in a way that conveys excitement. For example, you can try something like, "I can't believe I got an A on that test. I'm so happy and grateful my Mom helped me study." Be a little self-depreciating. You can brag about your achievements while simultaneously downplaying them, allowing you to show off without being too overt. Say you got an internship. You can text something like, "So tired. I just spent all day doing the work the real employees don't want to do." This acknowledges your internship without succumbing to outright bragging. Social media often makes other jealous. As you pick and choose what to share, you can cater your updates to make things look better than they are. You can find ways to make your friend jealous by posting happy statuses and updates on social media accounts.  Post things from vacations and outings. If you had your nails done, for example, post a before/after picture. Update others on your successes via social media. If you got a new job, for example, post about it. If you did great on a test, let others know on Facebook or Twitter. If you're going out with other friends, post pictures and updates. If your friend sees them, he or she may...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проводите время с другими друзьями. Начните умело хвастаться. Используйте социальные сети с выгодой. Показывайте свои таланты.


A good way to prevent future infestations is to make sure that you do not have an accumulation of water near your home’s foundations as this a prime habitat for subterranean termites. You can divert water with effective guttering, and by using devices such as downspouts and splash blocks. This also applies for any mulch or wet garden materials which could be attractive to termites. Certain structural deficiencies can play a major part in heightening the chances of you suffering an infestation. Remedying these can be an effective long-term action which limits the probabilities of subterranean termites appearing. As the termites tend to enter where wood touches soil, you should have a clearance of at least twelve inches between wood at the base of your house and the soil.  This also applies for porches or decking areas, where you should not have the wood directly on the soil. A warm and humid environment in the dark areas of your house, such as crawl spaces, attics, and basements can be very inviting for termites. For subterranean termites, your basement or cellar will be a particularly popular area. You can make these areas less hospitable for termites by ensuring they are well ventilated to avoid those warm and humid conditions.

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте скопления воды вблизи фундамента. Определите и устраните проблемы внутри несущих конструкций вашего дома. Вы должны обеспечить хорошую вентиляцию в труднодоступных местах вашего дома.


A good way to reach out slowly over time after a guy rejected you is by doing so on social media accounts. These platforms allow you to let a guy know you’re thinking about him without going overboard with messages, texts, or potentially awkward in-person interactions.  Start by liking a photo he posted. Don’t leave a comment, just like the photo. Wait a few days and then leave a light-hearted comment on something he posted. Nothing too personal – just a joke or a funny reference. During this period, be sure to continue posting a few things on your own accounts to give him an opportunity to return the gesture. Don’t go crazy with the posts, but post enough that it’s clear you’re still a fun person living your life, not just someone who is moping around after the rejection. You don’t want to bombard him with text messages (or messages on any other online platform), especially in the first few weeks after he rejected you. Once you have let some time pass, try sending a simple message inquiring about something unrelated to your relationship or what happened between the two of you. Try texting something like, “Hey. Did you ever get around to watching that movie I recommended?” Or maybe, “Hey. See you at the party this weekend?” Keep it light and casual. You can build from there.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте социальные сети. Первое время отправляйте умеренное количество сообщений.


A good way to show another person that you would like to be friends with them is to say "Hi" when you see them.  Make eye contact, smile, and say hello. If you know the person's name, say, "Hi ____."  Be sure to speak clearly so the other person can hear you. If you are shy, practice with one of your family members. Always smile and say hi in the hallway when you see the person again. You want to seem as friendly as possible. Paying someone a compliment shows that you are a pleasant girl and that you are open to being friends with other people. Pay attention to the other kids at school and try to identify one nice thing about them. You can then give them a compliment about what you have noticed. Keep the compliments simple such as:  "Your hair looks really cute." "I like your shirt. It's really suits you." "You did a good job on your project." You can also follow up a compliment with a question to get the conversation started. For example, "I like your shirt. Where did you get it?" Saying hi or giving a compliment is a good way to start a conversation. When you are speaking with someone, you should share your likes and dislikes. If you are asked a question, answer the question, and then ask the other person a question. Do not be a conversation hog.  It is important that you share information about yourself as well. Friendship is a two way street.  Listen when the other person is talking and do not cut them off. Wait until they are finished before you begin to talk. Doing something nice for someone else is another way you can show someone that you like them. You do not have to do anything big. Let someone borrow a pencil or a piece of paper. Offer to help carry something if a classmate is overwhelmed. Share some candy or another treat at lunchtime. Do not give away money or other things that are special to you. You do not want someone to be friends with you just because you give them things. In order for a friendship to grow, you and the other person should have things in common. Common interests will help...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поговорите с другими детьми. Делайте человеку комплименты. Начните разговор. Будьте добры к своим одноклассникам. Найдите людей, с которыми у вас есть общие интересы. Пригласите эту девочку куда-нибудь сходить.


A good-quality firearm is a significant investment, whether you're using it for sport, hunting, or home defense. Make sure you give it the attention it deserves whenever you get back from a round of firing it. The whole cleaning process, start to finish, only takes 20 or 30 minutes. It's worth it to do it regularly. You might even consider getting out old guns from the back of the closet and doing them all at once while you've got the materials out. Can't hurt. Like everything else, gun cleaning technology is cutting edge. For rifles and shotguns, barrel snakes are long multi-purpose cleaners that make the job much quicker and easier, some featuring lights on the end that allow you to see the interior of the barrel much more easily. It cuts down on time and makes the job more efficient. To ensure the longest life for your gun, don't store them anywhere they'll be significantly affected by the elements. Keep them indoors, in temperature-controlled environments. Consider investing in trigger locks to keep your gun safe and tamper proof. Soft or hard cases are available for guns, anywhere as cheap as $15 or $20. If you have a higher budget, there are also lockable gun cabinets and safes made for the purpose of storing guns in a controlled and locked environment.

Чистите ваше оружие после каждого использования. Подумайте о покупке веревочной протяжки и/или ультразвукового очистителя стволов. Храните оружие разряженным в сухом прохладном месте.


A grand piano is long and low, which improves its sound over an upright but also causes it to take up a lot more floor space. For this reason, grand pianos are rarely seen in private homes. Grand pianos, like uprights, are divided by size into “petite” grand pianos, which can weigh as little as 500 pounds, on to standard grands, and finally “concert” grand pianos, the largest pianos of all, which can weigh as much as 1300 pounds and measure more than 9 feet (2.7 m) across. However, moving a grand piano of any size requires the same basic steps. As always, clearing the way and taking measurements are the first steps to a successful grand piano move.  Because of the grand piano's bulk, it is generally moved on-end, so double check that any doors you plan to move your piano through are tall enough to accommodate its front-to-back length, with several inches to spare. If the piano is too deep to fit through a door with several inches of clearance to spare, professional help will be required. This is where moving a grand piano becomes much more complicated than moving an upright.  The safest way to move a grand piano (and the way that professional movers do it) is to load it onto a rolling skid board, which is basically a load-bearing board on wheels. With as many people as possible on hand to assist you, lift the bass corner of the piano and unscrew or otherwise remove the leg there. Gently set the piano down and secure the removed leg in blankets; then, with the help of your crew, blanket and tape the body and remaining legs of the piano itself.  Equipment rental shops should be able to rent you a skid board if you don't own one. Be sure that the top of the piano is securely locked down, as well as the keyboard cover. Carefully lift the piano from the back end upward, while simultaneously lifting the keyboard end off the ground as evenly as possible.  Once the piano is balanced on the skid board, it can be moved by slowly pushing it from the rear end while pulling from the front end. Extra helpers should stand...

A grandiose sense of self-importance is one of the most identifiable traits of the narcissist. Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they are elite and special. They may select their friends and acquaintances based on their status or popularity. They may also go out of their way to make important contact as it cements their perceptions of themselves.  Narcissists also often pose as helpers, make grandiose promises to people, and lie about good deeds they've done, leaving them with good reputations. But look closely to see if they have ever delivered on these. They will have often left a series of tragic relationships in their wake. If your spouse is a narcissist, you may have felt as if they act like they are better than you or those around you. They expect to be admired and believe they deserve the very best of everything. This can lead to you feeling insignificant and even suffering from a low self-esteem. Narcissists portray a unique dynamic when it comes to criticism. They are extremely sensitive to the criticism of others, yet they themselves are incredibly critical. Because narcissists are naturally arrogant, your spouse may act as if they know it all. You may receive the brunt end of this behavior as they attack various aspects of your character or appearance. However, if you offered constructive criticism to your spouse, they may respond negatively. Although your spouse may appear to have a high self-esteem, you probably notice that it is fragile. They may become incredibly angry or even violent when criticized. They will also withhold love and affection if you criticize them, disagree with them, or do not give them exactly what they want. Narcissists have a hard time feeling compassion or concerns for others. You will often find yourself having to explain basic human decency to a grown adult. This is a warning sign. Your spouse’s #1 priority is themselves. Everything is “me” or “I.” They seem to have very little insight into your emotional needs and are unable to show...

A gratitude journal is useful for cultivating gratitude on a daily basis. Write in your journal each day, either morning or night (or both!).  Start with 5 things that you are grateful for each day. The activity of using a journal makes the practice of gratitude intentional and conscious each day. It's also a great way to look back on your life and see where you were at during different points in your life.  Waking up in the morning and writing in your gratitude journal can jumpstart your day and keep you in joyful anticipation, or combat feelings of dread. Journaling at the end of the day can close out your day with feelings of contentment as you go to bed. For more information, check out How to Start a Gratitude Journal. Maybe keeping a journal sounds like too much work or effort. Instead, you can find time throughout the day to acknowledge the things you are grateful for. Silently acknowledge the big and little things in your life daily.  For example, think of one thing in the morning, another at lunch, and one at bedtime. Wear a bracelet every day and remind yourself that each time you see it, you think of something you are grateful for. While this sounds counter-intuitive, think back to a difficult period in your life. Perhaps you went through a difficult breakup, a traumatic event, or the death of a loved one. Now reflect on the fact there here you are, able to look back on that as a memory. You successfully overcame that difficult period of life and you have what it takes to get through dark moments.   Write in your journal about a challenging time you went through. Recall what it felt like, and what got you through the difficult time. Note the strengths and personal attributes you utilized to get through it. Perhaps you're going through another even darker time now. By looking back on difficult situations, you can reflect that you found your way out of the dark then, and you can do it again. While depression can make you feel like everything is in a negative light, expressing gratitude can help you...

A great domain name is simple, unique, and easy to remember. That being said, the price (not to mention the intrinsic value) of a domain name depends on many factors including overall length, number of words, ease of spelling, and how much traffic goes there without prompting.   A short, one-word name (ex. cat.com), and especially .com domains, will be pricy because simple titles have a lot of potential uses, meaning people probably already check them out on their own. If you are going after a registered .com domain, you will have to contact the current owner, and even then, prices could be high for misspellings and multiple word domains. In the past years, companies and individuals have settled for bizarre names, misspellings, and old tricks like adding “the” or “my” to the front; note, however, that this will also reduce domain performance. Since 2014, new domain extensions (top-level domains, or TLDs) have been released as alternatives to .com, .org, etc. There are hundreds of such extensions that continue to be released, which include .club, .guru, .design, and many others, and they have effectively relieved the issue of scarcity in .com domains. Before you allow yourself to completely fall in love with a domain name, create a few variants and backups. If your desired name contains an intentional misspelling, be prepared to lose traffic to the properly spelled version. Alternatively, if your name contains a commonly misspelled word, consider buying one variation (or more) on your domain name and redirecting it to your main site. Of course, this will cause additional expenses. Avoid including characters (ex. _, *, #) in your name, as these aren’t intuitive and will divert traffic. An ICANN-accredited company has to go through all the ICANN accreditation checks, which is an expensive, in-depth process. This lets you know the company is committed. Many domain name registration companies don’t let you make changes to your domains yourself. You have to enter a request via their support systems and then wait...

A great first step towards a low-carb lifestyle is to cut out all of the major carbohydrate culprits. You don’t need to cut them all at once. You can cut them out 1 at a time to make it more manageable, such as by replacing sodas and other sugary drinks with water and sugar-free beverages. Some common sources of refined sugars and simple carbs include: Before you go full low-carb, you may want to replace your carbohydrates with some better carbohydrate options, such as whole grains.  Start slow and just replace 1 serving of your usual carbohydrate foods with 1 serving of a whole grain alternative each day or week. After a week or 2, you will be eating fewer simple carbs and more complex carbohydrates, which will reduce your overall carbohydrate intake and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Some good complex carbohydrate options include: White potatoes are another major source of simple carbs, so replacing them will help you in your transition to a low-carb lifestyle. You can bake and use a sweet potato or other root veggie similar to how you use white potatoes. Some good options include:  Baked sweet potatoes or yams Roasted carrots, kohlrabi, or beets Mashed turnips or rutabaga Celery root or daikon radish fries When you are ready to start transitioning to a low-carb diet, start making simple swaps by replacing your carbohydrates with low-carb alternatives.

A great outfit should accentuate your best features and minimize unflattering parts of your body. Here are some ways to dress some common body types:   Apple or circle shaped: Counter the roundness and softness of your body by adding structure to your outfit, especially on top. Wear a fitted blazer or wrap dresses that create asymmetrical lines across your body. Straight-legged pants help elongate your legs and draw attention to your body vertically. Large prints and patterns will flatter you better than small prints, especially if worn on top. Avoid covering yourself up with large or loose shirts – instead, wear more form fitted items or clothes drape down your body.  Pear or triangle shaped: Balance out your great hips by creating layers on top. A cardigan or a jacket cropped at the waist helps even out your slender top half with your curves at the bottom. Show off those great shoulders by wearing one-shouldered shirts or shirts with embellished collars. Boot-cut or slightly flared pants paired with high heels will elongate your legs.  Hourglass shaped: You’ve got the shape everyone is looking for! To better show off those sought-after curves, dress simple. Items in solid colours with cinched waists show off your small stomach. Avoid prints that take away the spotlight from your silhouette.  Athletic or ruler shaped: Your slender body can sometimes look too boxy so avoid stripes or cropped shirts. Try fitted tank tops with smaller straps, or halter-tops that enhance the look of your bust. High-waist pants and skirts give the illusion of that hourglass shape. Stick with soft fabrics that flow off your body to counter the hard lines of your athletic build. Learn what fit suits your body best or go to a tailor to have your clothes fitted for you. There’s nothing worse than wearing clothes that are too baggy or too tight in all the wrong places.   Shoulders: The seam where the sleeve attaches to the body should rest on top of your shoulders. They should not hang down onto your arms. Arms: The fabric under your...

A great steak speaks for itself -- it needs little seasoning other than some salt and pepper and is packed with flavor. The right grill will help accentuate this flavor. That said, any grilled steak will be perfect if handled correctly, so there is no "wrong" choice.   Propane: Gas grills add little flavor to the meat, letting the steak stand on its own. They are the fastest and easiest to control for cooking, making them perfect for larger meals or last-minute grills.  Charcoal: The "classic" BBQ flavor, these hard little bricks heat up relatively quickly and give rich, smoky tones to the meat. Make sure they are all white-hot before cooking on them.  Wood-fire: The hardest to light and manage but the choice of top barbecuers around the world, wood chips have the best flavor. Can be combined with charcoal to get the best of both worlds. The best meat should still be a bright, vibrant red color. Marbling, or the white streaks of fat, also indicate a more flavorful and juicy steak. If the steak is maroon or brown colored, skip it for something fresher. Just ask if your butcher will slice off a fresh cut for you. Some ideas for good steak cuts include:   High-End Cuts Ribeye, Strip, Tenderloin, T-Bone, Delmonico   Incredible Budget Cuts: Hanger, Skirt, Tri-tip, Ranch, Sirloin, or Flank This prevents you from throwing a cold steak on a hot grill, which greatly alters cook times and makes it harder to get a well-seared outside and completely cooked middle. Bigger steaks, those thicker than 1 1⁄2 in (3.8 cm), may need 15 minutes or so. While some chefs love seasoning, most steakhouses won't touch a piece of good meat with anything more than simple salt and pepper. Use the largest grains of salt you can -- kosher or course-grained is best -- and liberally cover the meat. Then touch it up with pepper, adding as much as you personally enjoy (but nowhere near as much as the salt).  Think of the salt as light snow on a dark road. You can still see the asphalt, but the "snow" (salt) covers the majority of it. Be sure to...

Выберите подходящий гриль. Приобретите в мясном отделе ярко-красные свежие стейки. Накройте вырезку и подержите ее 5–10 минут при комнатной температуре, прежде чем приступить к жарке. Аккуратно натрите стейк солью и перцем. Разогрейте гриль на среднем или сильном огне.


A great trick that can brighten up your eyes and give an overall impression of health and alertness is to use some redness-reducing eye drops. These are readily available at your local pharmacy and are a quick and easy way to improve your totally cute and so far sexy appearance. While this is is an option for occasional use, such as an important interview, do not use eye drops on a regular basis. Doing so can cause your eyes to become more dilated and bloodshot, and the preservatives found in these eye drops can be toxic when used frequently. A white, healthy smile can work wonders for your overall appearance, so make sure you give your teeth the care and attention they deserve. Brush a least twice a day, for a minimum of two minutes, using gentle circular motions. Focus on each tooth individually and don't neglect the hard to reach teeth at the back.  It is just as important to floss daily as it is to brush. Flossing removes built-up bacteria, food particles and plaque from between the teeth, thus preventing cavities from forming.  Also remember to brush your tongue with the toothbrush and use a mouthwash to prevent bad breath.

A great way to diagnose loneliness is to treat it. Spend time with other people besides your significant other. Fill your social calendar with fun activities and gatherings. Join a club or organization to meet people with common interests. Take a cooking or dance class. Ask a coworker or acquaintance out to lunch or coffee.  Other ways to find friends might be reach out to old connections through social media. Strike up a conversation with someone in your favorite shop or boutique. Join a meetup to connect with people who have the same hobbies as you. If, in the midst of your increased social activity, you don’t find yourself missing the other person or wishing they could join you, there’s a chance you were just lonely. Another terrific way to socialize is through volunteerism. It helps you connect with people and make a difference in your local community. Offer to visit a nursing or retirement home and help with craft time. Dedicate a few hours a week to the local homeless or animal shelter. Or, simply offer to babysit your neighbor’s kids each Thursday so that they can have a standing date night. Giving back to others offers a load of benefits such as enhancing self-esteem and fighting loneliness. If you find that you no longer think about your partner due to your new obligations, odds are you just needed to get out more. Does your relationship consist of you doing all the activities that your partner enjoys? If so, you can help clarify your feelings by pursuing your own passions. These passions may help you feel more satisfied in life. As a result, you may find that you don’t like this person as much as you thought. Take up a new fitness class at a nearby gym. Learn a new language. Bake more often. Go fishing. Just do things that you like. Feeling unfulfilled in other areas of life can lead you to jump into a relationship prematurely. Take some time to work on yourself. As you start focusing on your future by goal-setting, determine if the other person factors into the picture. Think about something that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Находите новых друзей. Станьте волонтером. Развивайте увлечения вне отношений. Ставьте личные цели.


A great way to dry out pimples is to use a sea salt face wash. This can work as an overall mask or to treat individual problem areas. Boil some water and then remove from heat. Once it has cooled some, measure three teaspoons of hot water into a bowl and add one teaspoon of sea salt. Stir them together until the sea salt dissolves.  Make sure you get sea salt instead of iodized salt. Sea salt is better for the skin. You can make more of this is you want by increasing the amount of water and salt. Once the salt is dissolved, you can apply the mixture to your face. Gently cup the solution in your hand and rub the liquid on your face. Avoid getting the mixture in your eyes because the salt will sting. Leave the mixture on for 10 minutes.  Don't leave it on longer than the required 10 minutes because it will dry out your skin too much. If you want, you can also just treat problem areas with the wash instead. Take a Q-tip or cotton ball and soak it in the wash. Apply that directly to the problem pimples to get the same effect. Once the 10 minutes are up, rinse the wash off your face with lukewarm water. Make sure you avoid letting the wash run into your eyes. After it's gone, pat your face dry with a soft cloth towel. After you have washed and dried your face, you need to apply moisturizer to avoid excessive dryness. Make sure it is a non-comedogenic moisturizer, such as Clinique, Olay, Cetaphil, and Neutrogena. Don't overuse this method. One to two times a day is enough to work. If you do it more than that, you could dry out your skin too much, which can cause skin irritation and other skin problems. In addition to the wash, you can also make a sea salt paste for your face. This can be used on problem pimples to help dry them out and heal them faster. For this, use one teaspoon of salt to one teaspoon of hot water. Let the salt dissolve a little in the water and, while it is still kind of thick, apply the mixture with a Q-tip to problem pimples. After about 10 minutes, rinse the mixture off and then apply moisturizer.

A great way to gauge who you might want to date is by looking at what worked and what didn’t in the past. Think back to what you loved about a guy, and what made you break up. Even if he broke up with you, you may not have agreed with his decision. For example, personality traits that you may pay attention to are previous boyfriends’ neatness, long-term goals, their ability to have a serious conversation, and so on. You may love watching James Bond movies and have a crush on him, but in reality you may not be compatible with smooth talking men. Or, you may be attracted to guys who are extremely laid back, but you demand utmost cleanliness and neatness in your apartment. Think about what you can and can’t ‘live with’ – figuratively, but also literally speaking. You may want to eventually spend extended periods of time together. Who you are friends with and who you date are not generally the exact same person. However, your best friends may be a good gauge for what you like in other people. There is, additionally, nothing that says you can’t date people you might otherwise consider your buddy. Take a step back and look at what you do with your best friends, and the parts of their personality that make you want to spend time with them. If you are looking for a potential long-term boyfriend, you will sooner or later want to know how you will get along at home. There is no exact formula for what makes great roommates, nor finding the ‘right’ guy. However, think about the behaviors that annoyed you and pleased you the most in previous roommates.  For example, if you had to quit rooming with someone whose cat was soiling your clothing, a guy with a dog or cat may not be right for you. A big one for roommates is how messy people are. There seems to be a spectrum between messy and uptight. The messier folks don’t usually appreciate the uptight people, and vice versa. Use past roommates to try to figure out where you are on this scale. Ideally, guys you date will be near you on this scale. Relationships are on another...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о своих предыдущих отношениях. Разберитесь в себе как в личности. Обратите внимание на своих лучших друзей. Приглядитесь к своим бывшим и нынешним соседям по комнате. Подумайте, сколько у вас свободного времени. Задумайтесь о своих целях в жизни и карьере.


A great way to get insight into the admissions process and life at Harvard Law is to contact current students. The Harvard Law admissions office will be happy to put you in touch with a student who will share their experience. You can call them at 617-495-3179, or email them at jdadmiss@law.harvard.edu. Harvard Law uses rolling admissions, so according to the dean, there is an advantage to applying early before too many of the places are filled. The application typically goes live in late September. For the best chance of getting in, you should be ready to submit your application then or shortly thereafter. You will apply at LSAC website. You’ll want to start early in order to acquire recommendations, complete the LSAT on time, and make sure your personal statement and resume are as good as you can make them. The application consists of 7 mandatory parts:  A fee of $85 The application form Your resumé A personal statement Your LSAT scores 2-3 recommendation letters. (At least one should be from an academic. If you have been out of school for a long time, you may submit non-academic recommendations, or consider taking extended education college courses to get to know a professor.) Character and Fitness Questions (to determine eligibility for the bar upon graduation) An interview (granted to approximately 1,200 applicants) Harvard Law strives to admit a diverse mix of students. A diversity statement gives you a chance to place your achievements in the context of your background and to make a case for how you would increase diversity on campus. Particularly if there are discrepancies in your application, such as a low GPA and high LSAT, consider including an addendum to explain them, preferably in a way that turns a weakness into a strength. For example, if you had low undergrad GPA, you might address it up front, and explain that between working your way through school and your commitment to an extracurricular (sports, student government, debate, etc.), it was difficult to maintain your grades, but you learned...

A great way to improve reasoning skills is to keep trying new things. The mind is like any other muscle. It requires exercise and stimulation. Make a point of trying out new hobbies and activities on a regular basis.  Pick activities that are vastly different from one another. If you're already an outdoor enthusiast, instead of taking up hiking consider learning to crochet. If you're big into crafts and working with your hands, consider trying to do crossword puzzles or Sudoku in your spare time.  Take classes if possible. Taking a pottery class or poetry class at a local community center can be a fun way to challenge your brain and encourage you to try new things. Physical exercise actually has an effect on memory and thinking. Many studies indicate the parts of the brain responsible for thinking and reasoning are bigger in those who exercise regularly. Also, exercise reduces stress and anxiety and boosts mood, which can make it easier to concentrate and learn. Strive to incorporate regular physical activity into your day-to-day routine. This can lead to an improvement in critical thinking skills. While researchers are still unsure if one form of exercise is better than another, some research indicates aerobic exercise is most helpful to mental stimulation. Daily journaling can actually help improve critical thinking skills. In addition to helping you revisit your day, journaling encourages reflection and thought.  Writing is an active endeavor. It forces you to expand and explore your thoughts. Keeping a journal that details your day, your feelings, and anything you thought about throughout the day can make you a more introspective, aware person. This can lead to higher reasoning skills.  Make time to journal every day. Schedule regular journaling time into your day-to-day life as you would brushing your teeth, showering, and eating dinner. It may be helpful to schedule journal time after an activity you're accustom to doing every day, as this will make it easier to remember to keep up with your journal....

TL;DR in Russian:

Пробуйте новое. Тренируйтесь. Ведите дневник. Читайте художественную литературу. Играйте в логические игры. Занимайтесь творчеством.


A great way to incorporate garlic into your diet is to make a soup that has a lot of garlic in it. Depending on your personal preference, you can use either a vegetable or chicken-based broth. It is always better to make your own soup broth with fresh, natural ingredients. If you’re using a commercial stock base or a bouillon cube, be sure to opt for low-sodium broth. You should also double-check the nutrition label for the sodium content of the broth or bouillon cube. Ideally, this amount should be less than 140 mg per serving. You can make a natural chicken broth using lean chicken. This helps you control the amount of sodium that goes into your broth. Use chicken leg quarters because they have a higher ratio of meat to bone. Remove any visible skin or fat from the meat. Then, measure approximately two to three cups of water in a large cooker and add the chicken pieces. Using this small amount of water will give you a richer broth. To the chicken and water, add a chopped medium onion, a tomato, two to three celery stalks, two to three carrots, and any other vegetables for flavor. You can also add herbs such as parsley or thyme for seasoning. Do not add salt. If you’re using a slow cooker, cover and let it cook on low-medium heat for six to eight hours, or on high for four hours. If you are using a stove or burner, heat until it boils, then let it simmer on low heat for one hour. For a natural vegetable broth, use a variety of vegetables such as onions, parsnips, carrots, celery, leeks, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Lightly brown the vegetables in olive oil or canola oil, then add two to three cups of water. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium and let it simmer for 1 1/2 hours. You can add whatever vegetables you like. The flavor of the final product will depend on what vegetables you add to the mixture. If you’re using a bouillon cube or soup base, measure approximately two cups of water and pour it into a pan or bowl. Boil the water using either a stove or microwave. Add the soup base cube...

A great way to reduce stress and turbulence is to develop reliable, repeatable systems for your everyday life that keep you centered and reduce stress. If your days get off to a frantic start, make a conscious effort to slow things down in the morning.  Get up a little earlier, make coffee, and include calming activities like yoga, meditation, or something else that you find relaxing. Make it a part of your day, every day.  Identify what you would like to accomplish each morning, then customize your ritual to give you the time to do those things without rushing or added stress. of how you react to things. If you frequently find yourself getting worked up during everyday interactions, make it a habit to analyze your own responses.  If someone cuts you off in traffic, pause a moment instead of laying on the horn and consider if your response will help the situation, or merely add to your stress. Study after study shows that multitasking is a less-efficient way of getting things done than focusing on a single activity, and constantly diverting your attention between multiple things is a surefire way to maintain anxiety rather than calm.  Simple changes like leaving your phone in another room, or turning off email notifications can remove common temptations for distraction.  Having a prioritized to-do list helps. Focus on completing your most important task before moving on to others. Keep in mind that recreation, exercise, or family time can be a “task” — this isn't only about work. Not only is it good for your health, it is also shown to reliably reduce stress levels.  If you can integrate exercise into your routine, do so. Even 20 minutes of moderate exertion can do wonders for you. You don't have find time for the gym to get the benefits of exercise. Get out of your desk chair and take a walk. Take the stairs rather than the elevator. Integrate soothing music or pleasant imagery into your post-exercise cool down. It will help maintain a sense of serenity as you get back to what you were doing. Creative...

A great way to reduce the visibility of old scars is with makeup. Makeup will not only obscure a scar, but may completely cover it.  Match your skin tone to a concealer or base product. Clean your skin. Use rubbing alcohol or some other skin cleaning product. Apply the concealer or base product. You can also try to wear certain color clothing that might divert people's attention from your scar. This might be an easy and non-invasive approach to take.  Avoid wearing colors that bring out the color of your scar. This might vary based on your skin tone. Wear bright colors that match your other features. For instance, if you have blue or green eyes, wear colors that bring out the blue or green in your eyes. Another way to reduce the appearance of old scars is to grow your hair out. Depending on the location of your scar, growing longer hair or facial hair may obscure or reduce the visibility of an old scar.  If the scar is on an area of your face that can be covered with facial hair, grow a beard or mustache. Mutton chops might also be an option. If the scar is on your forehead or the side of your face, longer hair or bangs might obscure it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте косметику. Носите цветную одежду. Отрастите волосы.


A guidebook will tell you where you can find lodging in any city you're likely to visit in Japan, and has everything conveniently sorted by cost, allowing you to quickly spot the budget options. A guidebook will also list popular restaurants, attractions, and other points of interest. Note that Japanese accommodations have two basic classifications––Western-style and traditional. It's a good idea to plan at least one night's stay in a traditional Japanese inn (ryokan), which will give you a good taste of the traditions of Japan, even though this might be pricier than your other budget stays. The room price in a ryokan usually includes breakfast and dinner. If you do stay in a traditional place, be sure to follow local customs or you may offend the Japanese. If you're traveling alone or with a small thrifty group you can often save money by staying in a capsule hotel or an internet cafe:  Capsule hotels were invented to give Japanese business men a place to sleep until the first train of the next day if they missed the last train home. However, they also offer tourists a cheap place to crash. You don't get a room so much as a tube with a mattress, but you cannot beat the price. To get in and out, you usually have to slide and there isn't room to sit or stand. You'll usually find these clustered around train stations or the areas with nightlife. Ask whether bathing facilities are included in the price, as sometimes they are. Not all capsule hotels will accept women, so bear this in mind. Internet cafes also can be an inexpensive place to sleep. If you come in late, you can often get a room from midnight to 8am for about $20. You may be sleeping on a couch, but if you really want to save money it might be worth it. The internet cafes often have showers as well. Love Hotels are places where Japanese couples get some privacy from their multi-generational homes for a few hours. However, after 11pm you can get the room for the night and usually for very little money. The room usually comes with a free condom as well...

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите с собой хороший путеводитель по Японии. Попробуйте остановиться в капсульном отеле или в интернет-кафе. Если вы не из робкого десятка и владеете хотя бы начальными знаниями японского, можете остановиться в «отеле любви». Остановитесь в пансионате. Присмотритесь к бизнес-отелям в торговых центрах недалеко от железнодорожных станций. Остановитесь в хостеле. Живите в палатке.


A guinea pig run is a more specialized structure for exercise, letting your animal roam about without the risk of it getting lost or escaping. It is basically a large mesh cage without a bottom, which you can place directly on the grass. Runs can be fairly large – 5 feet (1.5 m) on each side and one foot in height are fairly typical dimensions.  You can build yours as a separate structure, but it is also possible to incorporate it into an existing hutch. In fact, the structure will be a lot like the hutch in its design. In its most basic form the run is a wooden frame with wire mesh sides. When making your run, make sure it has sturdy sides and a top! Guinea pigs playing unsupervised (even for just a couple minutes) can become easy prey for neighborhood cats or birds of prey. As with the hutch, you will need wood, screws, wire mesh, wood staples, a drill, and a saw. However, runs are designed to be lightweight, at least those that are portable, so that the wood will ideally be lighter and rather less solid than that used in the hutch. Like hutches, guinea pig runs can be found online or at some pet stores for between $50 and $100. Instructions will walk you through the assembly process. As with the hutch, again, start by measuring and cutting the frame. The run is slightly more simple in that you really only need to construct a simple frame. There does not need to be a roof, floor, or even a door. Measure the wood per your blueprint specifications, double check the measurements, and make your cuts. Then, with the drill, drill your attachment holes and assemble the pieces. Cut the wire mesh once you have finished the frame. The mesh will need to cover each side of the run frame, at the least, and be secured with wood staples. You can also put mesh over the top of the run, though this is not strictly necessary. Guinea pigs like to jump (called “popcorning”), but there should be little danger of them escaping if you have made the run at least one foot high.

TL;DR in Russian:

A guinea pig without a cage mate will need a lot of stimulation due to the large amount of time spent alone. Make sure to provide your guinea pig with plenty of toys so he won't grow bored in his cage.  Ping pong balls provide a lot of entertainment as guinea pigs enjoy chewing and chasing. You can also find balls specifically made for guinea pigs at Petco or a local pet store. Be careful, however. If you notice your guinea pig chewing excessively, you might want to take the ball away.  Wooden structures, sometimes called hidey houses, are great if your guinea pig likes to hide or run. They can be made at home from cardboard boxes or purchased from local pet stores.  As guinea pigs love to chew, shredded paper, cardboard, old socks, pine cones, and twigs can be great. However, do not give a guinea pig materials like wool or cotton that tear thin. There's a risk that, when ingested, such materials will tangle inside a guinea pig's intestines. If you have a garden, or a backyard, planting and maintaining foliage can be a great activity for you and your guinea pig.  Guinea pigs enjoy being outside. If your garden is fenced in, you could take him out in the garden with you while you work. Keep a close eye on him, however, so he doesn't find a way through the gate.  Never put your guinea pig on a harness and leash as it would be very easy to hurt the guinea pig with them or they could slip out. Instead consider an enclosed run big enough for you and your guinea pig. Guinea pigs enjoy the opportunity to be outside. Gardening is a great way to spend time with your guinea pig while engaging in necessary tasks. Just be sure that your guinea pig can't ingest any poisonous plants. Your guinea pig might feel bored or stressed if confined to his cage all day without a cage mate. You can have one guinea pig friendly room in your house for him to run and play.  Guinea pig proof the room, making sure there are no open outlets or materials the guinea pig might chew on. Keep it closed off, as guinea pigs are notorious hiders...

A gut that never makes noises can be a sign of an unhealthy digestive tract, but so too can an overly noisy intestine. One way to keep your internal ecosystem healthy is to eat probiotic foods that encourage the growth of healthy bacteria in your system.  Good choices for probiotic foods include sauerkraut, natural pickles, kombucha, yogurt, unpasteurized cheese, kefir, miso, and kimchi.  Having healthy bacteria in your intestines aids digestion, which can cut down on noises that may come from an unhealthy gut. Eating too much at a time puts strain on your digestive system that isn't good for your health and can increase the occurrence of unpleasant noises. Instead of eating big meals, try eating several smaller meals throughout the day. This will keep your stomach from going empty, while also giving your system adequate time to digest. Fiber helps keep the food you eat moving through the system in a regular, healthy way.  Fiber is good for your digestive system, and actually has healthy, cleaning effect. Beware, however — too much fiber can create gas and contribute to gut noises.  Women need 25 grams of fiber per day. Men need 38. Most Americans only eat 15. Whole grains and leafy greens (as well as many other vegetables) are great sources of fiber. Caffeine can upset your gut by increasing acidity and increase embarrassing noises. Alcohol and other chemicals (including those found in some medications) may further exacerbate the problem. In particular, avoid drinking coffee on an empty stomach. The combination of all that fluid and the potential irritation caused by the caffeine and acidity can lead to a chorus of gurgles and groans. Sometimes, an unhealthy (and noisy) gut can be a sign that you have a food intolerance, which may be irritating your stomach and intestines. An intolerance to dairy or gluten (wheat), in particular, is a common problem that can lead to gut noises.  Avoid foods containing dairy or gluten for a week or two and see if you notice any improvement. If so, you may have an intolerance....
