Keeping a journal can be a great way to get in touch with your feelings and unlock your intuitive side. Write out whatever you are feeling or thinking about without worrying about rationalization or your judgmental inner voice. Stream of consciousness writing, or just jotting down the first word or thought that pops into your head, can help you become more aware of what’s going on in your subconscious mind. Meditation can help you become more in tune with the intuitive signals your body is sending you. Try some basic meditation techniques to help you become more mindful of your physical state.  Find a quiet and comfortable place to meditate where you will not be bothered or distracted. Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and focus on the sensations of your own breathing. If your mind wanders, gently redirect your attention to your breathing. Try doing a “body scan.” Lie down, close your eyes, and mentally focus on each part of your body in turn, starting with the toes and moving up to the top of your head. Be aware of any sensations you are experiencing in each part of your body, and make a conscious effort to relax any tensed muscles. When you are done, focus on your entire body for a few minutes. Take a few minutes to focus on your breathing. While it may seem illogical, distraction can actually help you come to a decision. Your brain processes information on a subconscious level even if you are not actively focusing on it or thinking about it. If you find yourself struggling to make a decision, do something else for a while. Then return to the problem, and go with the decision that feels “right.” Sleep is important for resting and repairing our bodies and minds, and it also helps process information that we take in during the day. If you’re having trouble making a decision, try putting it aside and getting some sleep. When you wake up, you may find that your intuition has led you to a decision.

TL;DR in Russian:

Записывайте свои ощущения. Медитируйте. Отвлекайтесь. Попробуйте переспать с мыслью.


Keeping a journal can be beneficial for understanding how your environment affects your mood, energy, health, sleep and so on. Journaling can also help you process your emotions and gain insight into why certain things make you feel a certain way. Even if you write only for a few minutes, it can be helpful to jot down your feelings and thoughts. Make it easy for yourself to write when the mood strikes. Consider using a simple note-taking application on your phone or tablet computer. Don’t feel like you need to write complete sentences if it’s easier for you to write phrases or bullet points. Don’t worry about spelling, grammar or style. Just write to get your thoughts out on paper. If you require more structure, you can seek out people who teach journaling; you can read books about journaling; or you can use websites to keep online journals. Use your journal however you want. You can keep everything private, share some things with friends, family or your therapist, or start a public blog.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно пишите в дневнике. Старайтесь писать каждый день. Всегда носите с собой блокнот и ручку. Пишите, что хотите и как хотите. Делитесь стольким, скольким хотите.


Keeping a journal can help you understand where your feelings of loneliness are coming from. For example, if you have a large number of friends, you may feel confused that you still feel lonely. Track when you have these feelings in your journal. When do they appear? What do they look like? What is happening around you when you feel this way?  For example, perhaps you just moved out of your parents' house to a new city. You have a group of new friends from work whom you enjoy, but you still feel lonely in the evenings when you come home to an empty house. This suggests that you are looking for someone you can have a stable, strong emotional connection to. Understanding the source of your loneliness can help you take action to fight it. It can also make you feel better about your feelings. In this example, understanding that you enjoy your new friends but miss the connection you had to your family when you lived with them allows you to acknowledge that what you're feeling is natural. Pay attention to the loop of thoughts going through your head during the day. Focus on any thought you have about yourself or other people. If the thought is negative, try to reword it and add a positive spin: "No one at work understands me," becomes "I haven't made a connection at work with anyone...yet." Reframing your self-talk can be an incredibly challenging task. Oftentimes, we are not even aware of all the negative thoughts we have in a day. Spend ten minutes a day trying to just notice your negative thoughts. Then, attempt to reframe negative thoughts into more positive ones. Then, work your way up until you spend all day monitoring your self-talk and taking control. Your entire perspective may change after successfully doing this exercise. Such thinking is a cognitive distortion that needs to be addressed. Thinking in all-or-none terms like "I am lonely now, so I will always be lonely" or "I don't have anyone who cares about me" will only hinder your progress by making you feel more miserable. Challenge these thoughts...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выражайте свои чувства наедине с самими собой. Переосмысливайте негативные мысли. Перестаньте мыслить черно-белыми категориями. Мыслите позитивно. Посетите консультацию профессионала.


Keeping a journal is important so that you can note when these negative thoughts show up, under what circumstances, and how you react to them in the moment. Often, we have become so accustomed to our negative thoughts that they've become "automatic," or habitual reflexes. Taking a moment to record the thought in your journal will begin to give you the distance you need to change these thoughts.  When you have a negative thought, write down what the thought was. Also note down what was happening when the thought occurred. What were you doing? Who were you with? Where were you? Had anything happened that might have triggered this thought? Note your responses in the moment. What did you do, think, or say in response to this thought? Take a little time to reflect on these. Ask yourself how strongly you believe these thoughts about yourself, and how you feel when you experience them. Negative thoughts can be about others, but frequently, they're about us. Negative beliefs about ourselves can manifest in negative self-evaluations. These self-evaluations can look like "should" statements, such as "I should be better at this." They can also look like negative labeling, such as "I'm a loser" or "I'm pathetic." Negative generalizations are also common, such as "I'm always ruining everything." These thoughts suggest that you have internalized negative beliefs about yourself and accept them as fact.  Take note in your journal when you experience thoughts like this. When you write them down, try to give yourself a little space between yourself and the thought. Write down "I had the thought that I was a loser," rather than just repeat "I'm a loser." This will help you come to realize that these thoughts aren't facts. Negative thoughts, especially about ourselves, usually result in negative behaviors. As you record your thoughts, pay attention to the behaviors that you use to respond to them. Some common unhelpful behaviors include:  Withdrawing from loved ones, friends, and social situations Overcompensating (e.g., going...

Keeping a sleep diary can help you to determine if your sleep apnea is getting better or worse. To start a sleep diary, record as many details as possible about the quantity and quality of your sleep to help you monitor your condition. Some things to record in a sleep diary include:  How long you sleep each night How many times you wake up during the night and at what time How you feel in the morning Anything your partner noticed during the night — this is vital, as many people don't wake up enough to realize they have had an apneic (a temporary suspension of breathing) episode, but your partner may notice . Being overweight is one of the main risk factors for sleep apnea. If you are overweight, then do what you can to get to a healthy weight (defined as a BMI between 18.5 – 25).

Start with some light cardiovascular exercise such as walking, biking, or swimming. Even if you can only do 10 minutes at first, keep at it and increase the length and intensity of your workouts over time. Include some yoga in your daily routine to tone muscles and improve your breath control as well. . Smoking is bad for your lungs and it can contribute to all kinds of health problems such as cancer, emphysema, and high blood pressure. Smoking also triples your risk of developing sleep apnea, but you can eliminate this risk factor by not smoking. There are medications and smoking cessation programs that can help...

Keeping skin moisturized helps keep hair moisturized, as well. Coconut oil, in particular, is helpful for preventing hair loss, as it helps reduce protein loss in your hair. Try applying coconut oil to your eyebrows before and after washing your face. Tweezing too much can lead to more permanent hair loss. In other words, not only do you remove the hair, you may prevent it from growing back in the future. If you've noticed hairs are not growing back, try slowing down on the plucking.  Over-plucking may also cause ingrown hairs and follicle damage. Always clean tweezers with alcohol before plucking to prevent transferring bacteria that can cause infection. Pregnancy, menopause, and changes in birth control are all changes in the level of estrogen in your body. Estrogen loss can lead to hair loss, so if you suspect you may have hormonal  changes, talk to your doctor about taking a supplement. When you are stressed, your body starts shutting down processes that aren’t necessary for survival. This shutdown can occur with physical stressors, like surgery or an illness, and emotional stress, which often manifests as physical symptoms. Loss may occur up to three months after the stressful event and may take another three to grow again.  Start a daily meditation practice. Make time in the morning, after work or school, or before bed to calm your mind and sit quietly. Pick a time that works best with your schedule and spend at least 20 minutes focusing on your breathing. Yoga is a great way to get more exercise and reduce stress at the same time. It is also easier for many people to do than traditional cardio exercises and only requires a mat for practice. Smoking can lead to hair loss. The chemicals in cigarette smoke and other types of tobacco smoke can break down hair cells, leading to hair loss. If you're concerned about hair loss, think about stopping to slow down the problem.  To quit smoking, make sure your friends and family know you want to quit. They can help you avoid triggers and remind you when you...

Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar are major factors in the development of heart disease, but you can keep them under control by having them checked often.   Blood Pressure. Have your blood pressure checked every two years. You may need to get checked more often if your numbers are high or if you are at risk of high blood pressure. Your blood pressure should stay below 130/80.  Cholesterol. The information about cholesterol has become more detailed and is based more on smaller lipoproteins than on overall cholesterol. Therefore, ask your doctor to run a cholesterol panel to check your CRP, or C-reactive protein, levels. Elevated CRP levels are linked to inflammation of the arteries, which can be linked to heart disease. A simple blood test can check your CRP levels.

Keeping the brush dry after a cleaning session is important to avoiding bacterial contamination. Check the area you are storing your brush and its container for adequate ventilation. You want air to flow to prevent bacteria from concentrating on the brush. This will accomplish two sanitary features. Firstly, it will allow the water and any other fluids to drain from the bristles with gravity. Also, the bristles will not be sitting in any bacteria collecting in the bottom of the container. Make sure the container you select is short enough to allow the toothbrush to lean so the bristles are well above the rim, but not so high it tips over. Whether you use a cup or rack-style container—you might want to put paper towels under the area you store the toothbrush to catch its drippings. This way you can dispose of the contaminated fluids without them contacting other surfaces. You don’t want the toothbrush bristles coming in contact with other contaminant sources such as a toilet, wall, or cabinet. Keep any containers two to three feet away from a toilet to avoid spray-contamination from flushing. Another good option is to keep toothbrushes inside the bathroom cabinet. You can put the brush in a holster that has a mounting that keeps it stationary on a wall. Purchase a mounting bracket and holder from a hardware store. Use a screwdriver to fasten the bracket to the wall near the back of the bathroom sink at least 2-3 feet away from the toilet, shower, and/or bathtub. Place the toothbrush holder onto the bracket by sliding it vertically into place. These holders usually have room for several brushes. Make sure the brushes don’t touch each other. There is also usually a center holder for a cup to hold accessories such as toothpaste. Make sure the toothbrush bristles don’t touch the center items either. The only time you should cover your toothbrush is when traveling. There are plenty of commercially available covers, and some even have antimicrobial features. Use the latter if available. Whichever you choose will...

TL;DR in Russian:

Keeping the incision area dry, which may mean delaying your shower for 24 to 72 hours after your surgery, is thought to help prevent infection and promote healing.  Follow your doctor’s instructions. There are many variables involved with surgery, and the risk of developing an infection or damaging the incision can be avoided by following your doctor’s specific directions.  Keep clean gauze pads nearby to pat the area if needed throughout the day, even when you are not near water. Depending on the specific instructions provided by your surgeon, you may be able to shower when you feel up to it, if the incision is at a place on your body where you can carefully cover the area using a waterproof material.  Most surgeons will provide clear instructions for methods they prefer to cover the incision while showering. Use clear plastic wrap, a trash bag, or a cling-type wrap, to completely cover the incision. Use medical tape around the edges to prevent water from seeping inside the covered area.  For difficult to reach areas, get a family member or friend to cut plastic bags or plastic wrap to cover the area and tape it in place. For shoulder and upper back areas, in addition to the cover placed on the incision, a garbage bag draped like a cape can be helpful in keeping water, soap, and shampoo away from the area as you shower. For a chest incision, drape the bag more like a bib. Until your instructions indicate you can proceed with a shower, you can feel more refreshed by taking a sponge bath and still keep the incision dry and unaffected. Use a sponge or washcloth dipped in water with small amounts of a mild soap. Dry yourself with a clean towel. Most surgeons recommend taking a shower once the time limit required to keep the area dry has passed, and you feel up to it. Do not soak the area, sit in a tub filled with water, sit in a hot tub, or go swimming for at least three weeks or until your doctor says it is ok to do so. Most surgeons recommend taking showers that last about five minutes until you are stronger...

Keeping the scab moist with a warm compress can help it heal faster. Wet a clean cloth or towel with warm water. Then, place it on the scab for five to ten minutes. Do this several times a day to keep the scab moist. Epsom salts are great for healing scabs and can help to reduce any tenderness around the scab. Fill a bucket or the bath with warm water and ¼ cup Epsom salts. Then, soak the injured area with the scab in the salt bath for an hour. Pat the area dry. Soak the scab once to twice a day until it starts to heal. Putting a non-stick dressing on the scab can help to keep it clean. Apply Vaseline under the dressing to encourage healing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приложите к струпу теплый компресс. Погрузите струп в соляную ванну. Наложите на струп неприлипающую повязку.


Keeping things open is vital as time goes on. After the initial breakup, and your first talk about it, tell your daughter you're always there to listen. Your daughter will probably need to talk quite a bit in the ensuing months, so say something like, "If you ever need to talk about this more, just ask." After your daughter has had some time to grieve, she may want some perspective on the situation. At this point, you can tell her a bit about your own romantic history. This can help her see breakups are normal and people do get through them.  Try to find a story where you went through something similar. Almost everyone has very rough breakups in their emotional history, so feel free to share yours with your teen. This will also increase the sense of intimacy between you and your teenager. Having a close, intimate bond can help your relationship stay strong through future hardships. Once your daughter has calmed down enough to see perspective, give her some hope. Remind her things do get better with time. Do so in a way that does not negate how she is feeling now, however,  Do not say something like, "I went through the same thing when I was your age and I don't even think about it anymore. You're going to be fine." Instead, acknowledge what she's feeling and still give her hope. For example, "I know it hurts a lot right now, but remember that's not forever. I went through something similar, but there are better relationships out there for you." Your daughter may want to lock herself in her room for a few days. It's normal to want to be alone after a bad breakup; however, do not allow her to wallow for too long. Remaining preoccupied with the relationship and breakup may develop into larger issues down the road, like depression. Gently encourage her to keep up with regular activities and continue seeing her friends. This will help her heal.  You may want to let your daughter sit out of her normal extracurricular activities at first, but make sure she returns to her usual sports, clubs, and hobbies. Staying...

Keeping your arm as still as possible can help the healing process. Whether you are wearing a cast or simply a sling, try to avoid excessive movement or hitting your arm on objects.  This is especially critical if you have a break and your doctor is waiting to put a cast on once the swelling has subsided.  You may want to wait a few weeks to return to your usual activities or until your doctor gives you approval. You may have some—or a lot—of pain with your break. Taking medication to relieve it may help you relax and could also help you keep from moving it too much.  You can take either over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or acetaminophen. Ibuprofen and naproxen sodium may also help to reduce swelling.  Children and teenagers under 18 should not take aspirin unless approved by a doctor.  You should also avoid aspirin and other medications that can thin your blood if the bone broke the skin or there is associated bleeding. If your pain is severe enough, your doctor may prescribe a pain reliever with a narcotic for a few days. In many cases, rehabilitation therapy may begin relatively soon after your initial treatment. You may start with simple motions to minimize stiffness and gradually work up to physical therapy once your cast, brace, or sling is removed.  Only undertake rehabilitation with the permission and under the direction of your doctor.  Early rehabilitation may include simple movements to promote blood flow and stave off stiffness.  Physical therapy can help restore muscle strength, joint motion, and flexibility once any casting or bracing is removed or if you have healed from your surgery. If you have a compound fracture or a fracture that breaks the bone, you may require surgery. This can help ensure that your arm heals properly and minimize your risk for subsequent breaks.  During surgery, an orthopedic surgeon may insert fixation devices that stabilize your bones. Screws, nails, plates, and wires are all types of fixation devices. These help maintain the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Старайтесь меньше двигать травмированной рукой. Постарайтесь снять боль с помощью лекарственных препаратов. Возможно, врач назначит посещение реабилитационных курсов или физиотерапию. Возможно, придется провести хирургическую операцию. Следите за своим питанием. Существуют специальные силовые упражнения, которые рассчитаны на укрепление костей и мышц.


Keeping your brain occupied will help you not fall asleep. Choose a TV show with a lot of episodes to binge-watch or pick out a couple of movies that you’ve been meaning to see and keep them on as you try to stay awake. Turn the volume down low so that you don’t wake up anyone else in your house. TV shows that are binge-worthy include Riverdale and Stranger Things. Binge-worthy movies include Jurassic Park and Black Panther. If you have a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu, you can easily watch a ton of episodes of TV. Video games keep your brain engaged. Play your favorite ones throughout the night to keep your brain awake. Try playing online ones so that you are interacting with other people, since this will make it harder to fall asleep. Your friends might be posting things on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook late into the night if they are awake. You can also browse YouTube and watch a variety of videos to keep you entertained. Keep your volume down low or use headphones to avoid waking anyone else up. Even if you are not physically with your friends, it can be much more fun to stay up all night if you have someone to talk to.  Text or video chat with your friends to see how long they can stay awake. You can even make a competition out of who can stay awake the longest.  Make sure your phone volume is down low so you don’t wake anyone up with your ringtone. Since you are staying up for the entire night, you will probably get hungry at some point. Bring some snacks into your room to eat throughout the night. Avoid sugary snacks, since those can cause you to have a sugar crash and fall asleep. Fresh fruit, crackers, and trail mix are all filling snacks that don’t have too much sugar in them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Keeping your brushes clean will save you a lot of time and energy when it comes to washing them. Brushes that encounter a lot of product, such as your foundation and powder brushes, require more frequent washing than brushes that are used less frequently. Here's a guide for how often you should wash your brushes:  Foundation and powder brushes: Once a week Eye makeup and concealer brushes: Bi-weekly Other brushes: Once a month Do not lay them on a towel—this can cause mildew. Instead, set the brush down on a counter, with the bristle part hanging over the edge.

Keeping your emotions bottled up can make your condition worse, rather than making them simply go away. Because of this, it is important to talk to someone about what you are going through. Talking to someone else can also help you to see your emotions from an objective standpoint. Take the time to talk to:  Your spouse. It is important to let your partner know what you are going through so that he/she can help you to the best of their ability. A family member who has gone through childbirth. A friend who you feel comfortable talking to and know you won't be judged by. A therapist. If you feel like talking to family or friends hasn't brought you the comfort you need, set up an appointment with a therapist. If you don't know what therapist to go to, ask your doctor for a recommendation. Keeping an emotion journal can help you to see that your emotions are fleeting, rather than permanent. When you begin to feel anxiety, sadness, anger, or some other emotion, write down the emotion and the details that go along with it. By doing this, you will be able to keep track of what triggers your anxiety or depression, and will help you to think about how you would like to handle these emotions in the future. In particular, write down:  Write down what emotion you were feeling. Rate the intensity of your emotion from 0% to 100%. Write down what caused the emotion. Keep track of your response to the emotion. Consider what response you would like to have in the future. Sometimes being around women who are experiencing the same things as you can be an eye opening experience that can give you insights into your own condition. As support groups, women who have had, or presently have, postpartum depression and anxiety can share what they are going through with women that have experienced the same thing. Talk to your doctor about support groups in your area. Taking some 'me' time to focus on activities that you enjoy can provide a much needed break from your negative thoughts or feelings. Doing something relaxing outside of your...

Keeping your feelings bottled up will hurt you in the long run. This doesn’t mean that you should reestablish communication with your former friend, but certainly you should talk about your feelings with someone you know, love, and trust. Your friend or family member can offer you support and love through the act of listening.  While they are not a replacement for your former friend, your friend or family member can diminish the impact of your loss. You can go to social networking sites or simply start conversations with other people that you may encounter in your daily life.

If you need to vent to someone, or if you feel that the loss of your friend has created a severe imbalance of emotions for you, please do not hesitate to seek help. You do not have to go through this loss alone. While an animal cannot replace your former friend, you can form a new and important bond of companionship and love with an animal, which might help you reconcile the loss you have experienced. Studies have shown that owning a pet also leads to lower stress levels, better psychological health, and emotional support. All of these emotional and health benefits would certainly be a pro for someone who is dealing with the loss of a close friendship.

Поделитесь своими переживаниями с человеком, которому доверяете. Найдите новых друзей. Поговорите со специалистом, если вам кажется, что вы не сможете самостоятельно справиться с потерей. Заведите домашнее животное.


Keeping your hair out your face is always important when exercising. If your hair is too short to tie back, a headband will help keep it off your forehead and out of your eyes. While they certainly don’t look chic, yoga gloves are very useful. Their skid-proof palms give you a bit more gripping power and prevent your hands from slipping on the mat. They are fairly inexpensive and can be found at yoga clothing stores and sometimes health food stores. These will help you avoid from slipping on your mat, which can get very frustrating, particularly in hot or higher-intensity classes.

If you’re not sure if yoga is for you and just want to try it out, most studios have mats available to rent. Mats vary in thickness, so if you have tender knees or want more support for when you’re sitting on the firm ground, consider the option of buying a thicker mat. Having one of these makes it easier to move around with your mat since you can carry it over your shoulder. It’s also a great way to keep your mat from unraveling when you’re not using it.

Keeping your hands free of articles of clothing that inhibit air flow will cause your hands to stay moist, rather than naturally getting the chance to dry. Gloves, mittens and other items that cover your hands. Wear them when it's freezing outside, of course, but avoid wearing gloves indoors or in situations where they aren't necessary. Gloves are effective if you want to hide the sweatiness of your hands, but they'll keep your hands so warm that they'll sweat more than usual. Petroleum jelly is used by people with dry skin to seal in moisture, and it has the same effect on sweaty skin. Petroleum jelly can prevent your sweat from drying and cause your hands to become greasy. The same goes for coconut oil and other cosmetic oils used to hold moisture against skin. You may not think to use an antiperspirant on your hands, since they are usually used in the underarm area, but the same chemicals that prevent your armpits from sweating excessively can help your hands, too.  Choose an unscented "clinical strength" antiperspirant containing aluminum zirconium, which many find to be effective. Prescription-strength antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate, a stronger antiperspirant chemical, are also available; talk to your doctor. Excessive perspiration is often triggered by anxiety and stress. Practice meditation, yoga or another activity that will help reduce your stress and prevent your sweat glands from going into overdrive.  If you get sweaty while thinking of a certain problem that's bothering you, think through a solution and tackle it head-on. If you need help, consider talking to a counselor. For a quick solution to anxiety-related sweating, have a seat, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. Try to calm your mind before going about your day.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не носите вещи, которые способствуют потоотделению. Лосьоны и продукты для тела на основе вазелина. Начните использовать антиперспирант. Находитесь в расслабленном состоянии.


Keeping your legs in the same position for an extended length of time reduces circulation in your legs and can cause blood to pool in your veins. Focus on shifting or changing the position of your legs to maintain good circulation. Change your position every 30 minutes or so. Take a walk around the office or, if this is not possible, stand up and stretch your arms and legs every 30 minutes. Elevating your legs while you sit can ease the pressure on your blood vessels. Keeping your legs uncrossed can also reduce pressure on your veins. Place your feet on a stool or another chair, when possible, to improve the circulation in your legs. Try occasionally lifting your legs so that your feet are above the height of your heart. Elevate your legs as you sleep, as well. Keeping your legs elevated as you lie down can be just as important as elevating them when you are sitting down. Wearing high heels and tight clothing can make it more difficult for blood to pass through your veins. Low-heeled shoes or flats cause your calf muscles to work more as you walk, which also helps with circulation of blood flow in your legs. You should especially avoid tight clothes that cut off circulation around your waist, legs, or groin. Go for loose clothing or clothing that does not squeeze or constrict these areas. Including moderate exercise into your daily routine can improve both the circulation and muscle tone in your legs. Exercising on a regular basis will also help you lose weight, if needed. If you are overweight or obese, shedding your extra pounds can ease the pressure on your legs and greatly minimize varicose veins.  A 30-minute walk or jog around your neighborhood a few days a week can greatly improve your overall circulation, especially the circulation in your legs. Focus your efforts on cardiovascular exercises, which help to get the blood pumping throughout your body, and strength training exercises that target the legs in order to build and tone muscle mass there. Restorative yoga is a type of yoga that uses props like...

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте длительного сидения или стояния. Держите ноги в поднятом положении. Спите на спине с приподнятыми ногами. Носите обувь на низком каблуке и свободную одежду. Регулярно упражняйтесь. Выполняйте восстанавливающие упражнения из йоги. Сбалансированная диета. Бросьте курить и ограничьте потребление алкоголя.


Keeping your lips moist is another good way to keep them soft and kissable. Try wearing lip balm at night to moisturize your lips while you sleep. Apply the lip balm right before bed so that your lips will benefit from the treatment in the morning. If you do not have any lip balm, then you can just use a bit of olive or coconut oil (at room temperature) on your lips instead. Moisturizing your lips during the day is also important. You can use an intense moisturizing balm if your lips are extra dry, but a regular tube of lip balm will also work. Keep your lip balm handy and reapply it often. Before you apply any liner or lipstick to your lips, you should apply a deep moisturizing lip balm or at least a heavy layer of regular lip balm. This will help to create a moist, smooth canvas for your lipstick. Apply the lip balm to your lips about 15 to 30 minutes before you want to apply your lipstick. Look for a lipstick that is moisturizing rather than long lasting. Long lasting lipsticks may dry out or irritate your lips more than other types of lipstick.  If you are planning on some serious kissing, then you may want to go with a nude or pale pink shade rather than a bright red or coral. Otherwise your kissing partner may end up with lipstick all over. A lip stain may also be a good choice because stains do not come off your lips as easily.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наносите бальзам для губ на ночь. Наносите бальзам для губ несколько раз в течение дня. Подготовьте губы к глубокому увлажнению. Отдавайте предпочтение увлажняющей помаде.


Keeping your nails trimmed down may be a good solution if your nails keep breaking. You don't have to stop wearing your nails long, but wearing your nails a little shorter might help. Try trimming your nails a centimeter or two shorter than you normally would.  Clip your nails when they are soft, such as after taking a shower or bath. Nails are more prone to breaking when they are dry. You can also try soaking your fingertips in warm water for a few minutes before you trim them. Rough edges on your nails may snag on your clothes and this can cause a nail to break. To prevent your nails from catching on your clothing or something else, try to keep the tips of your nails smooth.  File your nails once or twice per week, as well as any time your nails appear rough along the edges. File your nails in one direction. Do not use a back and forth motion because this can weaken your nails. Just use quick strokes and move the file in one direction. One of the reasons why some people experience a lot of broken nails is because they use their nails in place of tools. If you tend to do this, then you can reduce nail breaks by using proper tools instead of using your nails. Avoid using your nails to scrape things, open things, and do other things that you might do with a tool.  For example, don't use your nails to open packages. Get a pair of scissors and cut them open. Or, if you notice that something is stuck to your desk, don't use your nails to scrape it off. Use a stiff metal object, like a paint scraper instead. Doing household chores can sometimes cause a broken nail because of all of the water and chemicals that you might be exposing your nails to. Protect your nails by wearing a pair of latex or vinyl gloves whenever you are doing chores.  For example, make sure that you wear gloves when you wash dishes or clean the bathtub. You can also wear gloves any time your nails might get in the way or snag on something, such as when you are folding laundry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Своевременно подстригайте ногти. Подпилите края, чтобы они ни за что не цеплялись. Используйте инструменты. Надевайте перчатки.


Keeping your neck clean is the best way to start getting rid of neck acne. You should take a shower to wash your neck at least once per day. If you sweat a lot, such as after a workout, then take another shower. Find a gentle cleanser that is labeled as “non-comedogenic” or “oil-free” to use on your neck. Products that are non-comedogenic will not clog your pores so they should help to clear up your neck acne.  Check the label to be sure that a product is non-comedogenic. Check to make sure that the products you buy are alcohol-free as well. Alcohol may irritate your neck acne and make it worse. Do not use a washcloth, sponge, or other abrasive materials to apply cleanser to your neck because this can cause irritation, scarring, and worsen the existing acne. Instead, use your fingertips to gently apply the cleanser to your neck. Do not scrub aggressively.  Rinse your neck well after you finish washing it. Pat your neck dry with a clean cotton towel. You may not realize it, but your clothing or accessories may be contributing to your neck acne and making it worse. Avoid tight collared shirts, scarves, and turtlenecks, as these may irritate the acne. Make sure anything that touches your neck is clean. Also, avoid touching the area and never pick at or scratch your acne, as this can cause scarring.  Try not to use oily sunscreens and don't cover the acne with foundation or makeup. If you use a hairstyling product, make sure it doesn't come in contact with your neck.  If you have long hair, the oil from your hair may be getting on the back of your neck. Try wearing your hair up in a ponytail while you treat your acne.

TL;DR in Russian:

Мойте шею по меньшей мере два раза в день. Используйте для мытья шеи мягкое моющее средство. Наносите моющее средство исключительно пальцами. Избегайте раздражителей.


Keeping your pace steady will help you to use oxygen the most efficiently. It also helps to reduce lactate build up. An even pace is especially good for long races when it becomes imperative to keep your body working at the same level of strength for a great distance. It is important to keep your pace steady, even at the beginning of the race when your pace feels easy, and at the end when it feels like a struggle to keep the same speed. Holding back and falling into your groove, rather than sprinting away at start of the race, will help you to conserve the energy you will need to finish first at the end of the race. Staying at a steady pace will allow you to catch up to other runners who started the race off too quickly. You’ll be sure to get a boost of confidence every time you pass another runner. This is particularly important if you are running anything longer than a 5K. The second half of the race will be a challenge--you will be tired and your body will start rebelling. Keeping your mind relaxed during the first half of the race will help you to focus and find determination in the second part of the race. While it is generally best to try to keep your pace even, if you have a person in mind that you really want to beat, you will want to keep a bit closer pace with that person. If he starts out quickly, make sure that you keep him within your sights without exerting all of your energy. If he gets a little ahead, switch back into your steady pace and plan to catch him later on--his burst of speed at the beginning will probably weigh heavily on him later. When you have someone in front of you and you want to pass them, its important to feel and appear strong. To do this, stay directly behind them until you are ready to pass them. When you do pass them, increase your speed slightly and keep at that pace until you are at least 30 yards (27.4 m) ahead of that runner. That person will mentally write you off as someone who they will either have to catch up to later or who will be finishing before them. Your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Бегите с одним темпом. На ранних этапах забега держитесь сзади. На начальных этапах забега расслабьтесь на подсознательном уровне. Если вы хотите обогнать определенного соперника, держитесь возле него. Продумайте, как обогнать кого-то и держать его позади себя. Учитывайте погоду. Думайте о победе.


Keeping your room clean is about getting into a good routine, and there are some things you should be doing every day. Make a list of these daily chores, and post the list somewhere visible. Set aside about 10 minutes every day to address these cleaning tasks. Daily chores should include:  Making the bed Putting away clothes Tidying up toys, papers, and other items Throwing out garbage On top of your daily chores, there are other cleaning tasks you should address regularly. Make a list of all those tasks, and make a schedule where you tackle a different weekly cleaning task each day of the week. Here's a sample list: Pull the blankets, top sheet, fitted sheet, pillow cases, and other linens from your bed. Throw them in the hamper and take them to the laundry room for washing. It’s important to wash your linens weekly to control dust, dirt, and other allergens. It can be easy to just let the dirty laundry pile up for weeks. However, keeping your room clean means staying on top of dirty laundry. As soon as you have a full hamper or enough for a load of laundry, get to the laundry room and wash a load. Some people find it easier to follow a set schedule when it comes to doing laundry. For example, some people do their laundry in the beginning of each month. Garbage is one reason rooms get messy quickly. To stop this from happening, keep a garbage bin in your room, either beside the bed or desk, and make sure you always throw trash out rather than leaving it lying around. As soon as the garbage can is full, take it to the garage or shed until collection day. Use a damp microfiber cloth to dust all the surfaces in your room, including furniture, fixtures, fans, pictures, shelves, and tables. Vacuum the floors and baseboards to suck up dirt and dust. If you have pets or allergies, vacuum and dust two to three times a week. Ignoring your cleaning duties for just a few days can create an overwhelming list of chores. Before you know it, your room will be messy again and you'll have a major cleaning job on your hands....

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте список ежедневных дел по дому. Каждую неделю делайте уборку. Раз в неделю стирайте постельное белье. Стирайте, как только наберется достаточно вещей для загрузки стиральной машины. Держите в комнате ведро для мусора и пользуйтесь им. Раз в неделю пылесосьте и вытирайте пыль. Не откладывайте уборку.


Keeping your situation under wraps minimizes the embarrassment and helps avoid becoming a target for police officers and criminals alike.  Rotate among several parking locations to avoid getting noticed. When you move around in the parked car, move slowly to avoid rocking the car. When it's sunny in the daytime, use a sunshade for the windshield. You may find that you need and want more privacy than windows offer. There are a few cheap ways to gain this privacy. Reflective window shades in your back and front window help. Similarly fold up shades on the side windows are good. You can also buy some cheap cloth and either stuff them in the windows, tape them in, or hold them in place by magnets. Black cloth is best for privacy and blocking out light. If you can afford it, and local laws allow, and you don't mind driving with it, get your windows tinted as dark as legally possible. This along with the front sunshade and dark cloth or towels can provide a lot of privacy. If you hang a towel or cloth on an untinted window, it screams homeless person. You hang the same on a tinted window it'll be impossible to see inside and won't draw attention. Keep the windows cracked open while you sleep, not wide enough for someone to reach in, but enough to allow fresh air and reduce condensation on the windows.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте осмотрительны.


Keeping your vaginal area clean can help reduce any burning or itching sensations. Take a daily shower and clean yourself well.  Never use douche. Your vagina contains both beneficial and harmful bacteria, carefully balanced to create an ideal, acidic environment. When you use douche, this balance is disrupted and can lead to an overgrowth of the bad bacteria. This can lead to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis and can push an infection deeper into your body where it can cause more harm.  You do not need any special products, like douche, to clean your vagina. The mucus made by your vagina naturally cleans blood, semen, and vaginal discharge. Simple soap and water should be enough to clean your vagina. After using the toilet, always wipe yourself from front to back. This prevents bacteria from fecal matter from getting in your vagina. Avoid using scented tampons, pads, powders, and sprays. In addition, consider using natural or fragrance-free detergents to launder your clothes. Tampons or sanitary pads can cause irritation of the vagina or vulva, which may lead to burning. Tampons can irritate the inside of your vagina, while sanitary pads and menstrual blood can irritate your vulva. If you use tampons and believe this may be the cause of your burning, start using sanitary pads instead. If you use sanitary pads, try switching to tampons. If you are itching, switch to 100% cotton underwear, which is breathable and may reduce itching. Try to avoid wearing other fabrics, like lace, satin, polyester, or some other fabric that doesn’t breathe. Also change your underwear every day. Avoid wearing tight underwear and tight pants. A simple approach to help reduce vaginal burning is using a cold compress. A cold compress or ice pack can help sooth inflamed and irritated skin.  Soak a cotton washcloth in cold water. Apply to the vulva or vaginal area for about five minutes as often as needed. Add a few ice cubes inside the washcloth before you apply it to the area. Milk is often used to soothe minor burns. It is...

Keeping yourself safe on days when you feel suicidal is about knowing what to do when you have suicidal thoughts. Being in a safe place can help reduce the risk of acting on suicidal thoughts.  Identify places you can go, such as a friend’s, family member’s home, or your therapist's office. You can use these helpful safety plan cards to remind yourself where to go.  If you can’t get somewhere safe, call your local emergency number (911) or a suicide hotline. Your ease of access to potentially harmful items can make it more difficult to resist self-harm behaviors.  Remove blades or weapons from your or the home immediately.  Remove medications if you might use them to harm yourself. Feeling disconnected or alone can lead to suicidal thinking. Increasing your sense of connection may help to reduce thoughts and actions related to suicide.  First identify people or agencies you can call including: specific family members, friends, healthcare professionals (doctor or therapist), emergency numbers (911) and suicide hotlines. Then go down the list and start calling each person or agency. Try your close family members friends, or therapist first (if you are currently safe and not planning on harming yourself). Identify how others can help you, such as: taking you to the hospital, talking with you about your feelings, comforting you, distracting you, and cheering you up. Social support may be one of the biggest factors that reduce suicidal thoughts and actions. So anything you can (that is safe) to get support from your loved ones during this time. Talk to a friend, spend time with your family, be around people who support and love you. If it feels like you don't have anyone to support you right now, call your therapist or a service such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK). These people have been trained in supporting people who feel vulnerable and can help. It's often the case that LGBTQ people, especially LGBTQ youth, lack a strong social support system. If you're an LGBTQ youth and don't...

Kefir is a traditional drink common to Eastern Europe.  It's a fermented dairy beverage that has the consistency of very thin yogurt.  It's tart, but very tasty and contains a significant amount of probiotics that are very beneficial to your gut.  Studies have shown that in addition to improving the health of your GI system, kefir has also been shown to have antimicrobial, antitumor and anticarcinogenic activity.  Since the health benefits of kefir have become more well known, it's easier to find this fermented dairy product in your grocery store.  It's typically found in the refrigerated section near yogurt or pre-made smoothies. Many companies that produce kefir do list the types of live and active cultures they add or use to make their kefir.  Look for drinks that advertise the use of bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli strains. You can drink kefir as is or mix it into a homemade fruit smoothie.  Plain kefir is quite tart, however you can find fruit flavored versions that are a little sweeter. Kombucha is another fermented beverage that has become more popular.  It's a fermented tea that has a little bit of bubbly carbonation to it.  There have been many health claims made about kombucha including the promotion of good bacteria in the gut.  Kombucha is made by fermenting yeast and bacteria with tea.  After fermentation, what results is a slightly sweet, slightly sour drink that has some natural carbonation. A few studies have shown that kombucha has antibiotic and antioxidant effects which will help support the immune and GI system.  You may find kombucha in your local grocery store in the refrigerated beverage area.  It needs to stay refrigerated until you consume it.  Also make sure to follow the recommended expiration date. Some supplement companies also make probiotic beverages that are sold as a dietary supplement.  These drinks are generally fruit juice-based with probiotics added to them.  Many people may skip over the typical dairy-based probiotic beverages or foods because of lactose intolerance or a...

Kefir seeds are available online or in health food stores. Kefir seeds reproduce on their own, so one starter batch can last years and years. You can also divide clumps of kefir seeds and give some to friends. Like sourdough, the kefir will simply reproduce, so you'll never run out.  Kefir seeds can be either frozen or dried if you want to store them.  If you expose the kefir seeds to a chemical or extreme temperatures, they can die. If you get into the daily habit of making kefir, it's worth picking out a jar that's just the right size for your needs. For an average amount of kefir, use a quart-sized mason jar. Kefir needs a breathable lid, which you can create using a coffee filter and a mason jar lid ring.  Don't use a plastic container, since the molecules can leach into the kefir. If you wish,  sterilize the jar before using it by boiling it for five minutes, then draining it on a clear paper towel. Kefir is usually made with whole milk. Using full-fat milk gives the kefir a tangy flavor and a yogurt-like texture, making it great to drink by itself or use in smoothies and recipes. For an even thicker kefir, add some cream. If you'd prefer not to drink cow milk, try these alternatives:  Water. You can make a fermented water-based drink with kefir to get its nutritional benefits. Make sure you use purified water, though - tap water contains chemicals that can kill kefir. Goat's milk. The human body is able to digest goat's milk more easily than cow's milk, so this is a good alternative if you're lactose intolerant. Coconut milk. Kefir-fermented coconut milk makes a great base for fruity, healthy drinks. Use the purest coconut milk you can find, with no additives or sugars. If possible,  make your own coconut milk to use. Grains won't reproduce in coconut milk, so you will have to return them to a dairy base when you're finished making this type of kefir.

Keloids are raised scars that can form anywhere on the body where the skin has been injured.  They form when the body creates excess collagen (a kind of scar tissue) at the injury site.  The skin injury may be large and obvious, like a surgery incision or burn, or small like a bug bite or pimple. Keloids usually begin to develop around three months after the original injury, and can continue to grow for weeks or even months.  Ear piercings and tattoos can lead to keloids in some people. Usually keloids form on the chest, shoulders, and upper back. Keloids are usually raised and rubbery in appearance, with a smooth, shiny surface.  The shape of the keloid usually follows the shape of the injury, but over time keloids can grow beyond the original injury site.  Keloids can vary in color from silvery to flesh-tone to red or dark brown.  Keloids are generally not painful, but can cause an itching or burning sensation for some people. While keloids aren't dangerous, it is important to have them looked at by a doctor to make sure they aren't a more serious skin condition. Some people are more likely than others to develop keloids, and if you have had one keloid scar appear, you are likely to develop more in the future.  If you know you are at risk, you may want to take special care of skin injuries to prevent keloids from forming.  People with darker skin tones are more likely to develop keloids. People younger than 30 are at a higher risk, especially teenagers experiencing puberty. Pregnant women are more likely to develop keloids. People with a history of keloids in their family are also at a higher risk. It is very important to have a suspected keloid examined by a doctor to make sure that it is not something more serious.  In some cases, the doctor may be able to visually diagnose the keloid.  In others, the doctor may wish to take a biopsy of the tissue and have it screened to rule out cancer.  Most effective treatments for keloids are done under a doctor's care, and early treatment is often the key to success....

Kennel cough is extremely contagious. If your dog has been playing with other dogs in a park or has been staying in a kennel, there is a possibility it has been exposed. A dog infected with kennel cough may suddenly develop a cough, which can vary in severity from a quiet, persistent "huff" to a harsh hacking, choking cough.  The latter is commonly mistaken for the dog having something stuck in his throat. If possible, open his mouth to check for a stick or bone that is stuck. An alternative means of determining if a dog has something stuck in its throat is to offer the dog a treat to eat. A dog with something stuck in his throat will not be able to eat the treat, so if he eats and swallows it without difficulty, it is unlikely it has a foreign object in its throat. Just as humans get a sore throat with flu, so do dogs with kennel cough. This can lead to throat clearing, or gagging and retching episodes.  For some dogs, this is so severe that they retch up saliva or froth. A dog that is vomiting because of nausea (rather than due to excessive coughing) will bring up yellow bile or food from the stomach. This is a likely a sign of some other problem. Some dogs with kennel cough show no signs of being ill, apart from an unpleasant cough. Others can be sluggish, lacking in energy and losing their appetites. It is always a good idea to get a dog that is coughing seen by your vet, but it is essential if the dog suddenly lacks energy or doesn't eat for 24 hours.

TL;DR in Russian:

Keratin is found naturally in vegetables like kale, broccoli, onions, leeks, and garlic. Include these foods in your meals to boost your body’s keratin naturally. Liver, fish, yogurt, and low-fat milk are other good food sources of keratin. Include healthy proteins in your diet to help your body make more keratin. Eat lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, and low-fat dairy. Remember that red meat is high in fat, so be sure to balance your other health needs with your keratin-friendly diet. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, snack on high-protein products like walnuts, almonds, and beans. Include fatty fish in your meals several times a week. Salmon, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines, and tuna are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids that can help your body make keratin.  Limit salmon and canned tuna to 12 oz. per week. Don’t eat mackerel if you’re pregnant – it’s considered a high-mercury fish that’s best avoided during pregnancy. Your body needs vitamin C to make keratin. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet, as these are high in vitamin C. Some of the best produce for vitamin C include:  Citrus fruit and juice, like orange and grapefruit Tropical fruits like cantaloupe, kiwi, mango, papaya, and pineapple Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, and watermelon Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts Peppers (green and red), tomatoes, and potatoes (sweet and white) Leafy greens like cabbage, spinach, and turnip greens Your body needs biotin to make healthy hair and skin, partly due to its role in keratin production. Upping your intake of biotin-rich foods may improve hair and nail quality, though not much research has been done on this. Get biotin from foods like:  Eggs (with the yolk) Vegetables like cauliflower, beans, blackeyed peas, soybeans, and mushrooms Whole grains Bananas Nuts like almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, peanuts and their nut butters Cystine is turned into a building block of keratin in your body. Include foods rich in cystine in meals regularly....

Keyframes mark exact points in time when changes are to occur to a layer's properties. This function, which is represented by a little stopwatch, allows you to animate your composite graphics.  Move your red “Current Time Indicator” line to the moment at which you would like to activate a keyframe. Select a layer from the “List” tab. Expand the layer's “Transform” or “Contents” tab. Click on the stopwatch icon next to the property you wish to alter. This will record a keyframe at the current time indicator. A yellow dot or a greater than/less than symbols will appear on the timeline to mark the keyframe. To see your keyframes on the timeline, lasso the layers you wish to view and press “U.” To move a keyframe, select a keyframe symbol on the timeline by lassoing it and then drag it to its new location. You may also copy and paste keyframes.

Keyloggers are applications that, when installed on a computer, records the key presses made on the keyboard. To install one on your computer, simply download an installer file from the Internet and run it.  One commonly used keylogger program is Refog, which you can download from this website: http://download.cnet.com/Refog-Free-Keylogger/3000-2162_4-10357898.html. Be extra cautious when installing hacking softwares on your computer. Most of these kinds of applications often carry viruses and spywares that are harmful to your PC. Open the installed program to run it. Keyloggers are silent applications that run like background processes so once it launches, it can immediately be minimized so that other users won’t be aware of it. Ask the owner of the Hotmail account that you want to hack to log into his or her account on the computer where you installed the key logger. The key logger program will record the key presses on the keyboard once he or she types in the account username and password. Open the key logger application and get the recorded keystrokes. Afterwards, go to the Hotmail login page and try the combinations you acquired using the hacking tool.

TL;DR in Russian:

Keyloggers spy software, like SpyPal, are available for download online and can be installed in a computer without the person knowing they are running in the background. These types of programs can record information like passwords, emails typed, pages visited, or even record a video of the screen as your boyfriend uses the computer. Keep in mind, however, that many of these types of spyware are highly illegal, so be very careful when downloading them. Also, a watchful boyfriend can find a key logger or screen recorder, so download a high-end logger that keeps its files hidden and under password. Some of these can still be found, but with great difficulty. However, some spyware can be made completely invisible both to the user and to the operating system. You probably won't need this last option unless your boyfriend is a professional computer engineer or a professional hacker. If you're looking to catch your partner red handed, place a GPS device on the underside of his car and track his movements so you can pounce on him if his pants end up around his ankles in a sleazy roadside motel. The “Find Your Phone” app can also be used to “Find Your Cheating Boyfriend”. If you have access to your boyfriend's iCloud, you can log in and watch his phone move in real time right into the immediate proximity of someone else. You can then use the profile to log onto websites that promote cheating on spouses to see if your partner has a profile on the site or is using one of the sites to arrange hook ups. You could also bait your boyfriend by using the fake account to friend him on Facebook. You could then start flirting with him over a period of time and see how he responds to you. If he starts sending your fake profile naked pictures or inquire about a meet up at a hotel, he is clearly not being monogamous with you. While this may be the most elaborate option, as it requires some planning and setup on your end, it is another way to catch your boyfriend red handed. Provide an excuse like a hair appointment or a meet up...

Создайте фальшивый профиль в социальных сетях. Организуйте идеальную возможность для измены. Подумайте о найме частного детектива.


Keywords as the first word in a domain name will boost your traffic a little. Using a country TLD (top level domain) will boost your rankings locally but hurt you internationally so use that with caution. Avoid dated domain naming techniques like replacing words with numbers. Being a subdomain (like a something.tumblr.com) will also hurt you. Keywords in your own subpages and subdomains also help. Your subpages especially should always have a descriptive title. Descriptions are a tagged part of your website code which describe the content on the page. Having one at all will help your rankings and having one which contains good keywords will help even more. If your site is using the same tags for all the pages, you are not helping search engines figure out the subject or relevance of your individual pages. Regarding Meta Tags, there are 2 very important fields:  Title Tag - arguably the most important SEO tag for any website. Google supports approx. 60 characters in the title, while Yahoo allows for up to 110 characters in the title. It is important to target the most critical keywords in the Title. Every page should have a unique Title. META Description Tag - These were once important but are no longer. Some engines do display the description defined, while others do not. Some search engines do read the description tag, and do utilize the content found within in the ranking process. Google, MSN and Yahoo give very little weight to no weight for these. Headers are similar to descriptions and the same rules apply: having one at all helps and having one with keywords is even better. Use them! Keep the structure, navigation and URL structure of your site simple enough for search engines to follow. Remember that search engines cannot parse your navigation if it's using flash or javascript. So try to stay close to standard HTML when it comes to Navigation. URLs with dynamic parameters (?, &, SIDs) usually do not perform when it comes to search engine rankings.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите хорошее название домена. Используйте описание в мета-тегах. Используйте заголовки. Придерживайтесь простоты.


Keywords is Google's most powerful tool for website owners. It is a tool found within Google's AdSense website. For free, you're allowed to search and find what people are looking for most. For example, for your winery, search the term winery (applying any filters you think matter). Click on the Keyword ideas tab and it will tell you how often people are searching your term, what the competition is like, and suggest some alternatives that are also frequently searched. Look for the most popular keywords that are relevant to you and use them! Google Trends tells you specifically how interest changes in a topic over time. Search your term and look at the charts for months when you can expect a peak. Smart website owners will be able to guess why there's an increase and find a way to meet that need and set themselves apart. Businesses listed in Google Maps are displayed first when a user enters a regional search phrase. It's easy to add a listing; simply login to the Google account and fill out the online forms.

TL;DR in Russian:

Научитесь использовать ключевые слова. Научитесь пользоваться Google Trends. Добавьте адрес своей фирмы в Google Maps, если у вас есть такая возможность.


Khaki pants are just about as dressy as you need to be for a casual conference. Look for trouser-style pants with wide legs, and keep the material pressed and free of wrinkles. Light and medium washes may look too casual, so the darker the wash, the better. Stick with a trouser-style leg and avoid styles that sag at the waist or taper past the knee. Pencil and A-line skirts work best, but you can play with the color and pattern more than you could at a professional conference. Avoid extravagant embellishments and stick for conservative "Sunday best" skirts. Stick with solid colors and avoid crazy patterns. Traditional button-down shirts also work well. Cotton, knit, and silk blouses look especially nice. You can opt for a button-down blouse or choose one that slips on over your head. Instead of a separate top and bottom, women can also consider a solid dress. Choose one in a work-appropriate style. Generally, this means that the dress has a solid print, conservative neckline, and knee-length hem. Black and brown loafers work well for guys. Sneakers are too casual and must be avoided. Women have a little more room to play around with their shoe for a casual conference, but you should still opt for a closed-toe style with a relatively low heel. Feel free to play with color and texture, however. Black, brown, gray, and tan socks work best. Avoid white socks or socks with patterns. For extremely casual settings, pantyhose many not be necessary at all. It still would not be a bad idea to carry them, however. If you realize later that they are not necessary, you can slip them off. Even at a casual conference, accessories should still be unobtrusive and simple. The required dress code for meal functions can vary. Luncheons may only require business casual dress, but most evening receptions require you to dress up. Women should opt for conservative cocktail dresses and men should go with a suit and tie.

TL;DR in Russian:

Носите хаки. Рассмотрите темные джинсы как вариант. Выбирайте юбку до колен, если вы женщина. Выбирайте рубашку-поло, особенно если вы мужчина. Наденьте симпатичную блузку или кофточку, если вы женщина. Выберите платье. Остановите свой выбор на кожаной обуви. Выбирайте низкий каблук. Подберите носки к обуви. Носите чулочно-носочные изделия с юбками и платьями. Сведите количество аксессуаров к минимуму. Переоденьтесь к ужину.


Kidney beans require adequate warmth and humidity to thrive. Plant them in the spring once you feel fairly certain that the last frost has already passed.  The temperature of the soil should be 70 to 80 °F (21 to 27 °C). If at all possible, avoid letting the soil temperature drop below 60 °F (16 °C).  Ideally, the air temperature should be 65 to 80 °F (18 to 27 °C) throughout most of the growing season. If a frost does arrive unexpectedly after your kidney bean plants have sprouted, cover the seedlings with a bit of mesh cloth or canvas to help protect them from the freezing temperatures. Kidney bean seeds should be planted 1 to 1-1/2 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) deep. Many gardeners prefer to space seeds 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) apart initially. After your seedlings reach a height of roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm), thin them out to a more appropriate spacing, removing the weakest seedlings when possible and preserving the strongest. For most varieties, you will need to sow separate kidney bean seeds 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) apart from one another.  More specifically, pole or vine varieties do well when spaced 4 inches (10.16 cm) apart, while compact bushes may benefit more if spaced up to 8 inches (20.32 cm) apart. The seeds should germinate within 10 to 14 days.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подождите, пока пройдет последний мороз. Посадите семена достаточно глубоко. Дайте семенам достаточно места.


Kidney infection begins as a urinary tract infection and progresses to your kidneys. It can cause permanent damage to the kidneys if it’s not treated promptly. One or both kidneys may be infected, causing a deep, dull pain in the abdomen, back, side, or groin. If you have the following symptoms, seek medical attention as soon as possible:  Fever, possibly with chills Frequent urination A strong and persistent urge to urinate Burning or pain while urinating Pus or blood in the urine (may be red or brownish) Foul-smelling or cloudy urine Seek emergency medical attention if you have these symptoms combined with nausea and vomiting Kidney stones are one of the main causes of kidney pain. The pain starts when the kidney tries to get rid of the stone and has a problem doing so. This sort of pain generally comes in waves.  Kidney stones often manifest in sudden, extreme pain in the lower back, side, groin, or abdomen.  Kidney stones may also cause other symptoms, including pain in the penis or testicles, difficulty urinating, or a frequent, urgent need to urinate. The bleeding could be caused by trauma, disease, or drugs. Some bleeding disorders may lead to blood clot formation in the kidney. When the clot impairs blood supply to any part of the kidney, the pain starts. This sort of pain also comes in waves but is generally felt in the flank. The flank is located between the upper belly area and the back.Other symptoms of kidney injury include:  Abdominal pain or swelling Blood in the urine Drowsiness or sleepiness Fever Decreased urination or difficulty urinating Increased heart rate Nausea and vomiting Sweating Cool, clammy skin

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь к врачу, если вы подозреваете наличие у себя почечной инфекции или пиелонефрита. Сообщите врачу, что подозреваете наличие у себя камней в почках. Обратитесь в отделение неотложной помощи, если вы считаете, что у вас почечное кровотечение.


Kidney stones are generally very small and can occur without any symptoms. The symptoms start when the stone gets large enough to block the kidneys, block the ureter (tube leading from the kidneys), or if they have caused an infection. The main symptoms is pain, which is generally:  Severe but usually intermittent Sharp or stabbing Localized in your back, usually along the edges of your back, in your lower abdomen, or in your groin. The pain placement will depend on where the stone is sitting in your urinary tract. Although pain is the most common and consistent symptom, there are other symptoms that you may experience with kidney stones. This will depend on how large the stone is and how it is affecting you. If you experience any of the following, contact your doctor immediately:  Nausea Vomiting Sweating Bloody, cloudy, or foul-smelling urine Fever Pain while urinating Extreme pain in your back or lower abdomen that won't go away Kidney stones are a very common condition that can affect anyone at any time. This condition affects around 5% of the population at some point in their lifetime, though this number is on the rise. You are most at risk for kidney stones if you are a  white male between the ages of 40 and 70 and white women from age 50 to 70.  Despite this high risk, the number of cases of kidney stones in young adult patients has doubled in the last 25 years. Though no clear cause has been discovered, researchers believe this has been caused by obesity, weight issues, or the increase in the consumption of soft drinks.  Other risk factors include a history of kidney stones in your family, your diet, some medications, taking more than 2 g of vitamin C a day, history of kidney disease, and your ethnic background. White males are three times more likely to get kidney stones than African-American men. Once you go to the doctor, she will ask you for a history of your symptoms,  check you for current symptoms, and take a urine sample. This sample will undergo laboratory analysis to check the levels of...

Kidney stones are small bits of calcified minerals and salts that form in your kidneys. Some kidney stones stay in your kidney, and some detach and pass in your urine. While passing the stones can be painful, they usually don't cause lasting damage. You might pass small stones without realizing it. Or, you may have difficulty passing larger ones. You'll probably feel severe pain in your sides and back, below your ribs, near your groin and lower abdomen. Since kidney stones are moving, the pain can come in waves and vary in intensity. You may have some of these symptoms as well:  Pain when urinating Pink, red or brown urine that's cloudy or smelly Nausea and vomiting Constant urge to urinate and urinating more frequently (although small amounts) Fever and chills (if you also have an infection) Struggling to find a comfortable position (i.e. sitting, then standing, then lying down) Men are more likely than women to develop kidney stones and non-Hispanic white people tend to develop kidney stones more frequently. Being overweight, obese, dehydrated, or eating a diet high in sugar, sodium, and protein can also increase your risk. You're more likely to develop kidney stones if you've already had them or someone in your family has had them. Your doctor will perform a physical and test your blood and urine. The doctor is checking for calcium, uric acid, or minerals which could could cause stones to form. You may also get imaging done (like x-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds). This way, the doctor can visualize if there are kidney stones. Your doctor may want you to collect the kidney stone after you pass it. This way, the stone can be analyzed and the doctor can determine what's causing your kidney stones, especially if you frequently pass them. If you have small stones, you should be able to pass them at home by drinking plenty of water, taking over-the-counter pain medications, and possibly by taking prescription medication to help muscles in your urinary tract relax.  If you have larger stones or stones that are...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, что собой представляет почечнокаменная болезнь (нефролитиаз). Присмотритесь к симптомам почечнокаменной болезни. Рассмотрите факторы риска. Получите медицинский диагноз. Следуйте рекомендациям врача относительно лечения.


Kidney stones can become more severe and painful if left untreated. If you think that you may have kidney stones, then you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor can diagnose your kidney stones based on your symptoms, a blood or urine test, or by using imaging such as a CT scan. Getting a CT scan is the most accurate way to determine if you have kidney stones. Your doctor can also use the results of the kidney stones to determine where the stones are at and how big they are. If you are diagnosed with kidney stones, then your doctor will recommend the best course of treatment for your situation. This may include drinking plenty of water in order to help pass the kidney stones or administering special medications to help you pass the stones.  If you kidney stones are large, then your doctor may need to use something called “extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy” or ESWL. This procedure breaks large stones into smaller ones so that you can pass them more easily.  Your doctor can also use a scope to break up a stone that is trapped in your ureter and make it easier for your body to pass.  Be aware that surgery may be required for severe cases of kidney stones that do not respond to other forms of treatment. If your pain is severe, then your doctor may prescribe a prescription pain-killer. But in less severe cases of kidney stones, an over-the-counter pain killer will help to numb the pain.  You may take ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or aspirin depending on your medical needs and personal preferences. Ask your doctor for a recommendation if you are not sure what to take. Read and follow the product instructions for any medicine that you take.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посетите врача для определения диагноза. Следуйте рекомендациям врача относительно лечения. Принимайте отпускаемые без рецепта обезболивающие, чтобы справиться с болью.


Kids aged 3 and older are more likely to grasp and understand basic computer concepts; whereas kids younger than 3 may struggle with learning about computers, especially since they are still developing their visual, language, and speaking skills. In order for kids to learn about computers efficiently, computers should be outfitted with mouses and keyboards that kids can physically use and understand.  Choose a mouse that fits comfortably in the kids' hands. If kids are physically unable to hold or handle a mouse, they may not have the opportunity to navigate through menus on a computer or perform basic tasks. Choose keyboards that contain larger key labels and fewer keys, especially if you are teaching very young kids. Some keyboards are color-coded in a manner that will enhance kids' learning experience. Visit the "Macworld" website listed in the Sources section of this article to review specific product recommendations on mouses and keyboards developed for kids. In most cases, you should choose software programs or learning tools that are engaging and fun, which can significantly enhance kids' learning experience and their desire to learn. Visit the "Teach Kids How" website provided to you in the Sources section of this article to access a list of age-appropriate websites and learning tools you can use to teach kids about computers.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начинать учить ребенка обращению с компьютером лучше с трехлетнего возраста. Подключите к компьютеру детские устройства ввода. Установите программное обеспечение или обучающие игры для подходящей возрастной категории.


Kids grow out of clothes, toys, etc (so do some adults!) but try to keep wearing or using the things you have for a long as possible. It is a bit of a waste of the world's precious resources if you get a new backpack just because you are bored with the old one, the same goes for anything you use, or consume. Look after and appreciate what you have. The energy your house uses for things like hot water, air conditioning, and lighting is made at different kinds of power plants that each process a particular type of fuel to turn it into energy. Some fuels are cleaner than others – hydroelectric (flowing water) power is cleaner than coal burning power, for instance – but no matter what the method, extracting energy from the environment puts a strain on it. Do your part by using as little energy as possible.  Turn off lights and electronics (such as TVs and game systems) when you're done using them. Ask your parents before you turn off the family computer, though: sometimes, computers need to stay on for various reasons. During the day, open curtains and blinds, and rely on natural light instead of electric light. Keep the temperature at a moderate level. If you live in a home with air conditioning, ask your parents to set it no lower than 72 °F (22 °C) during the summer months. In the winter, don't turn the thermostat up any higher than 68 degrees. (Use blankets and robes to stay warm when it is cool in the house.) At night, turn the thermostat as low as 55 degrees in rooms that nobody sleeps in. Don't set thermostats lower than 55 degrees in the winter if you live somewhere cold. Any lower and the pipes could freeze during the night.  Use less water. Take short showers instead of baths and turn the faucet off when you aren't actually using it. This includes when you're brushing your teeth, but before you spit. Every little bit helps. If you are a boy, don't have a shy bladder in your school bathroom.  If you just need to pee, then use a urinal.  It's okay to stand next to other boys and chat with friends if the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о том, что вы лично используете и изнашиваете. Сократите потребление энергии. Начните повторно использовать многие вещи.


Kids make messes: we all know it. So if you want to keep your child's room looking nice, it's important for any room makeover to include lots of storage. A great way to do this is to add under-bed storage. Get some boxes that fit under the bed and can slide out easily to store toys and winter coats and blankets. Better yet, invest in a captain's bed and save even more space. Even if your child is too young to read now, you should have lots of books that you can read to them and room for books to go in the future. Bookshelves are also useful for storing other items, like stuffed animals, dolls, or personal items. Although one thing about this is what type of book it also depends on them so you need to be careful here! A toy organizer, which is usually a series of colorful tubs on a shelf, is a great way to help create more space on the floor for your child to play. As they get older, it can be moved from organizing toys to organizing school papers or even clothes. Put some laundry baskets in your child's room and encourage them to use the baskets. This will help keep clothes off the floor, giving them more space to play and lounge around.

TL;DR in Russian:

Создание мест для хранения под кроватью. Поставьте книжные полки. Поставьте органайзер для игрушек. Приобретите корзины для грязного белья, если у вас еще нет их.


Kids often struggle to finish their homework on time. When you get home, there are so many other things to do. Playing outside, playing inside, messing around. Instead, do your homework first and get it out of the way, to free up time later to do what you want. This is a sign of maturity.  If you're always doing your work and turning it in on time, both your parents and your teachers will look at you as a mature student. If you forget to do an assignment, don't make up excuses. Tell your teacher honestly what happened. Making up elaborate lies is an immature thing to do. Just like at home, at school you need to listen to authority figures. Even when you don't like what they're saying, mature kids understand the need to follow directions and behave in school. Sit quietly and listen when your teacher is speaking.  When you're in class, and your teacher is speaking, you always need to be quiet. Don't talk to your neighbor unless you're told to. Wait until afters school or recess to talk with your friends. Sometimes, kids who act out in class may seem more "adult" because they're more willing to get in trouble. This is usually a sign of immaturity, though. As you get older, it'll be much easier to tell the difference. When you're at school, treat everyone with respect. Don't pick on anyone, especially younger kids. If you see a younger student looking lost, or looking like they might need help, offer it. Be a kind classmate.  When you're at lunch, or at recess, don't ever pick on younger kids. If you don't want to hang out with them, that's fine. But don't make a big deal out of it. Mature kids know and respect people older than them. When you're in the fifth grade, you'll feel like you're super mature, but as soon as you get to sixth grade, you'll be the little kid again. And to a high school senior? You're really young. Try to remember how old you are and don't get too big for your britches. Immature kids will always be yelling in school, making the lunch room loud and the hallways loud and the classroom loud....

TL;DR in Russian:

Своевременно выполняйте школьные задания. Слушайте учителя и следуйте указаниям. Будьте добры к младшим ученикам. Разговаривайте сдержанным голосом. Не задавайтесь. Носите чистую одежду подходящего размера.


Kids will notoriously be picky eaters (especially between the ages of two and six years old); however, offering a variety of nutritious foods multiple times increases the likelihood that your child will grow to like these new foods.  Offer your new foods a few times.  You may want to consider preparing them differently to help entice your child's tastebuds. Although offering a "disliked food" multiple times may seem counterintuitive, it actually is a kid-friendly method of eating.  This is how children will eventually learn to be accustomed to certain tastes and textures of new foods. Remember, it can take up to 15 tries for a child to decide whether or not they like a new food or a more nutritious foods.  In addition, their tastes will change and evolve each year as they grow. A "try" may be simply exposure. You do not necessarily have to get the child to eat the food for there to be some success. Just having the food on the plate — even if the food is not touched — helps emphasize this is a food. This can pave the way to actually eating the food down the line. An easy way to get kids to eat more nutritious foods — especially vegetables — is by sneaking them into foods they are already familiar with and enjoy.  Since there will be children who are exceptionally picky and all children (and even the adults) could use a few more fruits and vegetables, sneaking these nutritious foods into their meals is an easy way to boost your child's nutrition. Blending is a great trick to add a whole host of items to a variety of different foods.  You can blend fruits and vegetables into yogurt smoothies, put blended or pureed vegetables into baked goods like meatballs, meatloaf, soups, baked goods or casseroles like mac and cheese. Although you can hide many foods in your child's diet, this isn't a trick you should solely rely on.  You need to continue introducing new nutritious foods in their whole state. "  Another trick to get kids to eat more fruits or vegetables is by making these foods a little more fun by making them...

TL;DR in Russian:

Предлагайте разные продукты по несколько раз. Используйте больше фруктов и овощей. Предлагайте соусы и заправки. Здоровое питание в игровой форме. Не ставьте новые, более полезные продукты, рядом с любимыми блюдами ребенка.


Kids' nets are not actually good for catching butterflies. They are too short and can hurt the butterfly. A longer net is better, because you catch the butterfly in the netting, not on the hoop.  Your net should be at least 2 feet deep. However, keep in mind, in some areas, you will need a permit to carry a butterfly net. Check with your local laws to see if it applies to you.  Your hoop should be wide enough to make it easy for butterflies to fit through, though you don't want it so large that you can't handle it easily. Also, you should be able to see through the netting. The netting should be coarse, so you can move it through the air without much wind resistance. The handle should be sturdy enough that it doesn't break when you flip the net around. Woods are often good places to find butterflies, but your backyard can be just as good. If you plan to catch butterflies, you might consider planting flowers that local butterflies are attracted to. For instance, marigolds, milkweed, buckwheat, zinnia, and heliotrope are flowers that many butterflies are attracted to. You may have a vision of swooping your net through the air to catch a butterfly in flight. However, the reality is it's much easier to catch one that's stationary. Look for butterflies sitting on flowers, drinking nectar, or roosting.  In tropical climates, you'll usually find butterflies roosting underneath leaves or branches, and you'll find them there in temperate climates, too, when it's raining or cloudy. Otherwise, you'll often find them roosting on the tops of grass or leaves in temperate climates. Remember that some butterflies will be camouflaged very well to blend in with their surroundings, so you'll need to look closely. If you can, move in from the back of the butterfly, trying to quietly and slowly move in. Once you are in range, flip the net over the butterfly. Do it in one quick motion, so the butterfly doesn't move away before you've caught it. You can catch one in flight; it's just much harder to do. The best way to do it is to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приобретите хороший сачок. Выберите подходящее место для ловли бабочек. Ищите сидящих бабочек. Подкрадитесь к бабочке. Поймайте бабочку на лету. Согните сетку.


Killing anthills with boiling water is effective, but it takes a great deal of water and labor. Use this method if you only have a few anthills. This method is more environmentally friendly than other methods, so choose this one if that's a concern for you. You will need a large amount of water for each anthill. Boil a large soup pot of water per anthill. Using protective gloves, remove the pot from the stove. Find the nearest anthill you want to kill. Be careful, as both the water and steam can burn you. The boiling water also kills grass and other plants. Be careful to keep it just in the anthill.

TL;DR in Russian:

Правильно используйте метод. Закипятите воду. Снимите кастрюлю с плиты. Вынесите кипяток во двор. Вылейте воду на муравейник. Не обрабатывайте близлежащую местность.
