You shouldn't use sponges that have an abrasive side (like the yellow and green scrubby sponges), at least on the abrasive side. In addition, you should skip steel wool or any other type of scratchy material. Anything too abrasive can scratch up your countertop. A microfiber cloth is best when scrubbing your countertop. It works well to remove stains, but it won't scratch the surface. You can find these cloths at big box stores, supermarkets, and even home improvement stores. Hard solvents, like drain cleaners, can cause serious damage to Corian surfaces. Similarly, acetone can also cause damage to the surface that you can't undo. If you spill nail polish on a Corian surface, you can remove it with nail polish remover; just be sure to pick one that doesn't have acetone in it. You should also try not to get other harsh chemicals, such as paint remover or oven cleaner, on your countertop, as those can also cause damage. While Corian counter tops are heat resistant, it's still a good idea to protect them from heat. Always put trivets or other heat protection under hot pots that you place on the counter. It's also a good idea to put a trivet under something that produces heat, such as a toaster. Corian counter tops have a tendency to get scratched, but you can take care of most minor scratches at home. The best tools are the abrasive pads put out by DuPont, which get progressively finer. However, you can also try something like Comet powder cleaner and a Scotch-Brite white pad. Fine-grit sandpaper may also work. It will need to be 400-grit wet-dry sandpaper.  With the DuPont abrasive pads or sandpaper, clean the counter to remove any film, and leave it wet. Starting with the peach pad (or sandpaper), rub lightly in one direction over the scratch. Every once and a while, switch the direction you're rubbing perpendicularly. Run the pad under water to remove residue as you go. Keep scrubbing until the scratch is removed. You may need to work over a large surface area or use finer abrasive pads to help it blend. With...

You shouldn’t argue with your parents every time you disagree with them, if only because this strategy will make it harder for you to win when the argument is about something that is really important to you.   Weigh the benefits versus the costs. If the topic of the argument is significant to you, it might be worth the effort and the possible consequences of engaging in an argument with your parents. However, if there are minimal worthwhile results, it might be best to let this one go. For example, if your mom hates it when you play your music loudly, the only real benefit of having an argument about this is that you might get to play your music at a louder volume, and maybe only for a short period of time. It will also be perpetuating a behavior that your mom doesn’t like and will lead to more arguments in the future. But if your parents have a problem with your significant other and they don’t like you spending time with him/her, this might be an instance in which planning an argument is worth it because there are more possible benefits on the line for you. Causing a scene in public will only embarrass your parents and make them less likely to hear what you have to say. Make sure that your argument takes place at home or in a private space so that they are comfortable having the conversation with you.  If you start an argument with your parents in public, they will view it as a very immature thing to do and it will not be a good way to begin the argument. Some people get embarrassed when they think others know their business or are listening to them talk. This is not a good way get your parents to hear you out. Give your parents the courtesy of conducting your argument in private. They will probably not listen to you if they are upset. People are more likely to hear what you say to them and really consider your opinions when they are in a good mood. If you start an argument with your parents when they are already upset, they will probably brush you off or respond even more negatively.   Give yourself the...

TL;DR in Russian:

You shouldn’t be so quick to assume that older people are out of touch with what’s going on in the world. In fact, because of their experience, they might have a different perspective that helps you think about an issue or topic in a new way.  Don't argue when you opinion differs from an older person’s. Instead, have a polite conversation where you’re both express your points of view. Maintain eye contact when they give your their opinion or advice. If it looks like you aren't listening or paying attention, they may think that you don't care. Because of their experience, older people can offer up a wealth of valuable insights, so it only makes sense to use them as a resource. Talk to the older people in your life to see if they’ve encountered a similar situation and can provide guidance. This can include things like:  Having trouble in school, be it academics or bullying. Fighting with your significant other. Being unsure what to do with your career. Cultural customs, practices and stories are usually passed down generation to generation, so the older people in your family probably have insight into your ancestors that you can’t get anywhere else. Ask them to share what they know about your family’s traditions, so you can learn more about them -- and where you come from. Making an family tree can be a fun activity to do with an older relative. There are a variety of websites, such as Ancestry.com, that can make researching your family easier, so your elderly relatives don’t need to remember all the details.

TL;DR in Russian:

Цените их мнение. Обратитесь за советом. Узнайте о традициях вашей семьи.

You spend more time with yourself than anyone else, and you should learn to enjoy your own company.  One key to being a happy single woman is to be comfortable spending time alone with yourself, understanding that you don’t always need to be around others.  You will ultimately discover qualities about yourself that you love, and some that you’d like to change.  This process of self-discovery is invaluable to truly being a happy, single woman. Being single means that you have more time for yourself.  Now is the time to develop your own interests outside of work and other relationships.  Pursue what makes you happy, what fulfills you, or what piques your curiosity.  Don’t let your work or other people influence which interest you pursue.  Choose something that will bring you joy or fulfillment. You might take up bike riding, or yoga, or a book club, or even sign up for sewing lessons at a local shop. Negativity breeds more negativity, and that can stifle your happiness.  Instead, look around you, really think about your life, and take stock.  Think about your friends, your family, your job, your house, your collection, your hobbies, your health, and your wit, and appreciate what you have.  Focusing on the positive will shift your perspective to one of gratitude and happiness. You might choose to be in a relationship in the future, and there’s no better time than when you’re happy and single to figure out what you want and need in a partner.  Consider why you’re happy right now and what traits in a future partner could enhance that happiness.  This is the best time to define what you want, expect, and need in a future relationship.  It’s also a great time to concretely lay out your dealbreakers.  Perhaps you want your future partner to have a certain level of education or affiliate with a particular political party. On the other hand, you might decide that a partner who is disrespectful to servers and strangers is a dealbreaker for you. Take some time to clarify for yourself what features of a relationship are...

You start a critique not when you sit down to write the essay, but when you sit down to read the work of literature. Ask yourself why the characters do the things they do in all works of literature, whether novels, short stories, essays, or poems. To help you organize the plot and characters so that you can think about the text, it is useful to make a graphic organizer. There are many ways to set up a chart so that you can organize your observations, including an idea web, Venn diagram, T-chart, and more. For example, for a T-chart, list the names of the characters in one column and their actions in another as you read. After reading, you can add a column with why you think they did each action. After you are done reading a piece of literature, think about what each character did and how each action contributed to the plot. Look at your graphic organizer to help you understand what happened in the book. Don’t try to decide what that author is saying at this point. Just look at the actions and plot at face value. This is similar to artwork. Instead of looking at a painting to figure out what the artist was communicating, just look at what is literally present in the painting. For example, what items are present in Van Gogh’s ‘’Starry Night’’? Don’t think about what he is trying to say in this painting; think about the stars, the swirling night sky, and the houses below. After you have a good understanding of the events of the book, you can try to understand what the author was suggesting about human nature through the characters and their actions. These things are called the themes.  For example, ask yourself, why does the witch turn the prince into a beast in Beauty and the Beast? What does this action suggest about human nature? Also think about what lesson the reader can learn from the characters. What does the Beast teach us? After you have selected one lesson the reader can learn from the work of literature, it is time to make a thesis statement out of it. A thesis statement is a single sentence that...

You take a piece of flat land, about five squares to five squares. In each corner, you add three pieces of obsidian. After making four pillars, you then make a roof. Make it low enough, so you can't jump, but you can move around. It works as a sort of hut. Between each pillar, should be three spaces. Dig those spaces out, and replace them with "Sticky Pistons." facing up. You should then have nine squares in the center. Stand in the middle of those nine spaces, and put a pressure plate on every other space, apart from the one you are on. Your trap is done. In the empty space you were in, put a chest in it, and keep it empty. You then put a sign saying "Free diamonds for anyone who can get in and out first." Quick, simple, and you can wait till they get really angry and try to break the machine. It lasts for about five minutes, before they escape. Simply dig a three by three square, two squares deep. One layer, place TNT. The other layer, place sand/dirt/gravel over it. Something that explodes. You pop a sign next to it, and also a dispenser. On the sign, you write "Free diamonds. Step on and wait." They will step on the Pressure plate that you have placed in the center of the nine squares, the TNT will ignite, and BOOM. Instant death.

You teacher might have recommendations or guidelines for breaking in your shoes, so check with them before you begin the process. Your teacher knows your feet, and has probably worked with tons of different foot types. Remember, breaking in pointe shoes is a highly personal process, and every dancer will do it differently.  Ask your teacher if they have a specific process for breaking in pointe shoes. Especially for beginners, teachers often rely more on dancing to break in shoes, rather than manual manipulation. Before you follow any of the steps below, get your teacher’s approval. Some teachers prefer that students avoid the rougher forms of breaking in shoes, like cutting the shank or removing the toe satin. The shank is the arch-supporting insole of the pointe shoe. New shoes have very stiff shanks, so you’ll need to bend the shank so that the shoes mold properly to your feet. Find the part of the shank that contacts the breakpoint of your foot, which is the area where your heel meets your arch. Bend the shank back and forth along the breakpoint, continuing until you have achieved the desired flexibility.  Some dancers opt to cut the shank at the breakpoint with scissors.  For extra flexibility, you can cut away a quarter of the shank at the heel of the shoe. The toe box refers to the hard part of the pointe shoe that holds your toes. It can be pretty stiff at first, so you should step on or knead the box to soften it up. If the fabric is too tight around your big toe bone, try blotting the area with water and rubbing alcohol. You can use metal, bristled tools called scrapers and roughers to scratch the soles of your pointe shoes. This makes for a better grip on the floor. Make deeper scratches with scissors for even more traction. The pleats are the folds of fabric on the bottom of the shoe, near the toe. These can make noise when dancing, so many dancers like to bang them on a hard surface to make them softer. Beware--banging the pleats makes the shoes wear out sooner. Pointe shoe satin can be slippery....

You typically do this by adding the dried fruit to hot water.   Measure out 1 cup of hot water. Add 4-5 dried apricots to the water. Allow the fruit to soak for 30 minutes. When the apricots are rehydrated they should have increased in size and be soft when squeezed. When the apricots are rehydrated, discard the water. You will add the following:   1/2 cup spreadable apricot fruit Juice of 1 lime 2 1/4 teaspoons ground ancho chili pepper 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar Rehydrated apricots. Use a high setting.  Make sure the ingredients are evenly mixed. The ingredients may stick to the side of the food processor. In this case, use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl. If you don't have a food processor or traditional blender, you can try using a hand blender. You will need to refrigerate the chamoy if you aren't using it right away.   For the mangonadas, you will only need 2-3 tablespoons of the chamoy. Measure this out and store the rest. This should keep well in the refrigerator. You can use the rest as a dipping sauce or in a salsa.

TL;DR in Russian:

You usually have warning when someone is about to start a fight. They may be throwing insults at you, acting aggressively, and getting in your space. These are all signs a fight may be coming. If you're prepared, you'll be more likely to win the fight or at least come out of it with less harm. If you notice these signs, start taking action, such as getting in a defensive position or calling for help. Don't put your fists up like you're ready to fight. Instead, put your hands in front of you with your palms together. Keep your elbows low and against your sides and spread your feet shoulder-width apart with your dominant foot slightly in front. In this position, you're ready to defend vital parts of your body. For instance, you can bring your hands up to block a blow to your face. Even though you don't want to throw the first punch, you do need to get a hit in early. That's because fights rarely last more than a few seconds, so if you can take them out early, you're more likely to win. If you someone coming at you, try to deflect the blow and then do what it takes to slow the person down.  Aim for the groin, for instance, with a well-honed kick or elbow. Alternatively, go for a punch at the chin, nose, or forehead. Keep your fist straight; otherwise, your wrist may break when you deliver a hard punch. Another option is claw at the person's face, as it will often shock them enough to slow down. You're just trying to get the person to stop fighting you, so use what you can. Elbow them in the stomach if you need to or knee them in the leg or groin. Keep using your knees and elbows to attack the person so they stop attacking you.  Seize the chance if you and your opponent are twisted to the side. Punch them in the side of the head. You could also push their head down and swing them to the ground. If you keep moving back, that shows a defensive position, and you want to go on the offensive. Keep going at them until they admit defeat or go down to the ground. If they fall, seize the chance to keep them there. Sit on...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте начеку, чтобы заметить приближающийся конфликт. Займите оборонительную позицию, которая похожа на позу для молитвы. Стремитесь нанести удар как можно раньше. Атакуйте противника коленями и локтями. При каждом ударе делайте шаг по направлению к противнику. Не позволяйте оппоненту встать, если он оказался на полу. Будьте осторожны во время драки, чтобы не нанести противнику серьезные травмы. Сохраняйте спокойствие против большой группы людей. Убегайте при первой возможности.


You usually know what your class is going to be about because your teacher assigned you some kind of material ahead of time. As you are getting to class, think about what you will be covering that day, mentally preparing yourself for the time ahead. This process will get you in the right frame of mind and help you absorb information better. If you're in high school, you really don't have the option not to show up, but in college, you're in charge of your own time. One of the easiest ways to earn good grades without studying much is to show up to your classes and listen to what your teacher has to say. That means not just showing up but being attentive as well. In addition, many professors will make attendance and participation a part of your grade. Therefore, just attending will contribute to you making better grades. If you don't show up enough, you lose those points. It may be tempting to sit in the back row, out of sight and mind of your professor. However, you'll be better able to see what your professor is writing on the board at the front, and you'll be able to hear her better. You'll also be less tempted to let your mind wander. If you're confused about something, don't be afraid to ask a question. Your teacher will be happy to shed some light on what's confusing you, and other students will likely have the same question. It may sound difficult to do, especially if the subject is something you don't like, such as math. However, start out by feigning interest, if you have to. Psych yourself up, saying how much you love math. Try to find parts of it that do interest you, even if it's a small part. Being interested in what you're learning helps you to take in information more effectively. Your teacher will likely clue you in to what's important by writing main ideas on the board or emphasizing it with her voice. She may even repeat the main ideas to make sure the class is understanding what's important. Constantly be asking yourself what the main ideas and main points are, so that you are using your time...

You want Mr. Right to have his priorities in the right order.  He should prioritize your happiness over how his friends, coworkers, or family think of him. If he's worried because you make him seem less manly or cool, he's not Mr. Right. He should also share your priorities regarding things like work, finances, lifelong education, better himself, etc.  Life priorities are different for everyone, so it's hard to say which ones he should and shouldn't have. What's important is that his priorities are the same as yours. Just remember: you should not expect any more from him than you expect from yourself. When he introduces you to people, does he try to avoid calling you his girlfriend? Is he reluctant to introduce you to his parents, even though you've been dating for quite a while? These are bad signs. You should also watch out for how he talks to you. Is he insulting or does he make you feel bad? Mr. Right does not say hurtful things to you on purpose. Sometimes your guy may try to point out some flaws that you have. This can be good or it can be bad, depending on how he does it. If he really is worried about you and he wants to help you better yourself, he'll never pressure you or create an ultimatum. Instead, he'll consider your feelings on the topic and if you want to change then he'll help you find good ways to do it. Much like life priorities can differ depending on the person, maturity levels can also be different. Just find what works for you and insist on it. If you like someone that's playful and carefree, then that's fine. But if you need someone that can be a grown-up with you, then you deserve to have that. Don't write it off as boys-will-be-boys. If you feel like you have to take care of him all the time then your relationship will not work in the long run. When you're with Mr. Right you should feel free. You should feel like it's okay to try new things and explore the world around you. The world should feel full of possibilities. He should encourage you, not hold you back. If he makes you feel...

You want a basic idea of how you want your project to go. Sketch out an idea of what you want your project to look like, as well as where you want your main texts to go. This sketch will also give you an idea of what you need to research. Create a list of what you're going to need for your project. For instance, you may need clay, poster board, or markers. Look around your house first to see if you have some of what you need, and then make a list of just what you need to buy or borrow. For a big project, it's best to have one space where everything goes. That way, you won't spend time looking for items every time you sit down to work on it. Plus, you'll know exactly what you have to work with. Put the materials you found around the house in the selected space. Go buy what else you need. If you need to, ask your parents to take you to the store. Make a list so that you don't forget anything. You don't want to lose valuable time having to make a second trip to the store.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте карту проекта. Обдумайте необходимые материалы. Подготовьте рабочее место или коробку с материалами. Соберите все материалы.


You want a bold, full-flavored bean to get the best drink. Fruity coffees, like many originating from Central America, often lose some flavor when mixed with the milk, and mild or light roast beans are not robust enough to provide the coffee taste you want. Aim for Sumatran, Java, or Brazilian beans, or dark-roasted beans with a big flavor. You can also use espresso beans, though you want to brew them like traditional coffee. In order to avoid weakly flavored coffee, which may occur when the milk is added, you want a strong pot of coffee to start with. While some people suggest using espresso, a cup of espresso and steamed milk is technically a latté, not a café au lait.   If you use a coffee maker, use twice as many ground beans or half as much water to get stronger coffee.  If you use a French press, or press pot, be sure to add an extra 2-3 spoonfuls of grounds, and let them steep in the hot water for at least 4 minutes. Scalding is just a culinary term for heating up the milk. You want to be careful not to foam the milk, just warm it up. Place it in a saucepan and heat it up slowly, on low heat, until it is just beginning to bubble and is hot to the touch. It should not be bubbling. You can also use the steaming wand found on an espresso machine, which will heat the milk up without the chance of burning it.  Use whole milk for the most authentic, rich café au lait taste you can get. While a traditional café au lait has no foam, all milk drinks should be slightly foamed, as air bubbles improve the taste. Take a whisk to the milk for 10-15 seconds before removing it from heat to get the best flavored drink. You want equal parts of milk and coffee, and you want to avoid stirring it up if possible to reduce any foaming. To make this easier, you might transfer the warm milk into a heat-safe measuring cup before pouring.  While the ratios do not have to be exact, a café au lait is supposed to be half milk, half coffee. Add more or less milk to get a weaker or stronger cup. If you are struggling to pour both...

You want a deep enough, and large enough, bowl that you can submerge the entire nail into the bowl. Ideally, you want a bowl large enough to dip all of your nails at once.  Pick a bowl that can stand up to freezing or chilling. Metal bowls will hold in the cold and be cold to the touch. Plastic will insulate the water but may be easier to handle. Consider dedicating a bowl just for beauty regiments. You probably do not want to accidentally get nail polish on your favorite mixing bowl. After you’ve picked the right vessel, fill it with cold water. You want the coldest water possible without freezing everything in the bowl. This will help the ice not to melt so quickly. You want to add a cup of ice (cubes, not crushed) to the bowl. This will create cold enough water to help instantly dry your nails. Once you’ve added the ice, return the bowl to the fridge if you intend to paint your nails right away. If you think you it will take at least an hour for your manicure, consider returning the bowl to the freezer so the ice does not melt. Be warned, wait too long and the entire bowl will freeze. Once the bowl is chilling, now it is time to put on your favorite manicure. You can use whatever type polish you would like. Paint your nails as you normally would. Remove the bowl from the fridge or freezer, carefully. Be careful not to smudge your wet nails doing this! If you can, have someone assist you with this. Place the bowl on a flat surface. If you are putting the bowl on wood, place a towel or trivet underneath the bowl. This will prevent water rings on the surface. You can place both hands at once, being careful that your fingers do not touch each other. Or, you can place one hand at a time. You will want to submerge your hands slowly as not to cause the water to ripple and damage your nails. This is going to be cold. It might be a little bit painful. But, the longer your nails are submerged, the drier your nails will become.  Once your hands have been successfully submerged, remove them from the water and place...

You want a name that rises above the masses while still representing the true you. Avoid sexual references. Turn away from anything boring. Go for a name using wordplay or humorous puns. The utterly silly and goofy can also work. Pop culture handles are okay too, especially if they are meaningful to you.  Hybrid names work well. Mix together a couple of your interest areas into one name. For example, HockeyFlier or RoseIvy. Resist the urge to simply tack on a number to the back-end of your handle. It can come off as boring, so go the creative route instead. For security and safety reasons, do not use your full name as your online ID. Consider the 100-character box at the top of your profile as an opportunity to make an exciting first impression. Choose a favorite movie quote or a line or two from a book that is meaningful to you. Put down a brief summary of your most unusual experience or perhaps a funny conversation.  You might open with, "In the immortal words of Doc Holliday, "I'm your huckleberry." Or, maybe I could be your huckleberry if you are the right person!" Don’t try to include everything in this initial area. You’ll have plenty of space later to elaborate on certain aspects of your personality. Avoid list-like writing whenever possible. It might be helpful to consider the type of person that you would like to entice with your profile. What will they respond to? That is the type of information that you need to include either here or down the page. When in doubt it is always better to cast a wide net and sort through the responses. The idea here is to show how your interests shape your life instead of just listing everything out. In the main text area provided by the website, write a story in which you weave in details about your personality and hobbies. The more details that you can provide the better.  For example, if you enjoy dancing and travel you could describe your ideal salsa dancing date in Spain. Or, if you’ve actually had an experience like this, write about the exciting sensations that...

You want a rose which has a nice bloom, but also no moisture or flaws.  The moisture will cause molding and the flaws will be exaggerated in the drying process.  You can use blooms which have opened a bit, but don't use a rose which is already beginning to fall apart and lose its petals. Find a room which you don't use often, like a laundry room, attic or a utility closet.  The space should still have good ventilation to allow the moisture to escape.  Stretch a clothes line or rope between 2 points in this room and tie it securely.  Make sure it is sturdy enough to hold your roses. You want to choose a dark space.  The color of your roses will darken in the drying process, but exposing them to light will increase this color change, while using a dark space will reduce the alteration in the rose color.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите розы с лучшими бутонами. Натяните бельевую веревку в прохладном темном помещении.


You want basic white toothpaste. Not gel, whitening paste, or anything with abrasive crystals in it. The traditional white paste will do the trick without damaging the wood. Sometimes rubbing alcohol or peanut butter can be used in place of toothpaste to remove marker stains, but toothpaste is usually more effective. You want to make sure the spot you’re removing is accessible and flat, so that the toothpaste doesn’t run down the surface while you’re trying to rub it in. Make sure your marker stain is covered with a thick layer of toothpaste. You can apply more later if you don’t have enough. Grab a clean washcloth and hold it under running water. Any temperature that’s comfortable to you is fine. Once the washcloth is soaked, squeeze any excess water so that it’s damp and not dripping wet. Using a circular motion, rub the toothpaste into the marker spot for three to five minutes or until most of the toothpaste disappears.  Apply enough pressure that your toothpaste can penetrate the marker, but not so much pressure that you’re going to damage the finish on your wood. Add more toothpaste if the washcloth doesn’t move freely over the entire surface of the marker stain. Using your damp washcloth, wipe off any toothpaste that’s still left on the wood. Make sure you wipe in the direction of the wood grain, not against it. The wood will dry and any toothpaste should be gone. Your marker stain should be removed. All you have to do now is clean up your area. Put away your toothpaste, dispose of your washcloth to be cleaned, and replace your wooden object if it’s movable. Repeat the previous steps, but add an equal amount of baking soda (for the amount of toothpaste) to your stain. This will add abrasion so use caution when you’re rubbing the mixture into the wood. If the baking soda doesn't work, follow the same steps using rubbing alcohol or peanut butter. Be sure to wipe away the alcohol or peanut butter with a damp washcloth, then let the wood dry before cleaning up.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите обычную зубную пасту. Переверните изделие изрисованной стороной вверх. Выжмите на деревянную поверхность достаточное количество зубной пасты. Смочите тряпку. Начните втирать зубную пасту. Вытрите остатки зубной пасты. Уберите рабочее место. Добавьте соду, если на поверхности еще остались следы маркера.


You want enough music to have music playing during your entire party so it’s important to think about the length of the party when you make a playlist. The music should start with mellow songs that give a relaxed feel as guests arrive. As the night goes on, the music should start to pick up with faster music to encourage dancing. You can end the night with music that’s a bit slower and more calming.  Try using an online radio to create your own station and play music all night long. You can also tell your guests to create their own playlist and take turns playing them at the party. It’s important to think about the type of party you’re having when you consider what music to play. If you want people to be dancing, you should play fun, upbeat music and include songs that have their own dance like the Silento’s “Watch Me”. For a smaller more intimate party, have the music playing softly in the background. When you’re having a larger house party, it’s a good idea to hire a DJ or have a live band perform. A DJ will play continuous music to keep the fun going during your party. A live band is a great addition to a house party and makes guests feel like they’re at a private concert. This will help achieve a lively party vibe where everyone is having fun.

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте плейлист или выберите подходящий компакт диск. Подберите музыку под стиль своей вечеринки. Подумайте о том, чтобы пригласить диджея или организовать живую музыку.


You want enough water to reach about 1" (2 cm or so) above your potatoes. This way they'll all cook evenly. Make sure your potatoes are clean and to size! You want to do them all at once, if possible, to make sure they're all the same level of doneness. Boil small to medium potatoes for approximately 7-10 minutes; boil larger potatoes for approximately 12-15 minutes. Some people swear on bringing the potatoes to a boil and immediately turning it off, leaving the potatoes in the hot water on the hot burner. This method generally takes a solid 15 minutes, but is better for ensuring you don't overcook your potatoes. If you're not sure how "done" the potato is, stick a fork into it. Preferably there should be a cooked outer edge and a raw middle; the potato should still be firm and your fork should meet resistance after the initial edge lets it through easily You can also take your knife to the edge of the potato. Do the edges come off all nice and fluffy-like? When you get to the center, is it whiter, harder, and clearly a bit uncooked? That's perfect. This stops the cooking immediately. They are now ready to be used as required in your recipe. Parboiled potatoes will not keep for very long time – aim to use them within a day or two, at most. Keep them in the fridge in a bowl, not a plastic bag (this causes them to sweat, softening them).

TL;DR in Russian:

Наполните кастрюлю одой комнатной температуры и положите в нее картофель. Доведите воду до слабого кипения. Снимите кастрюлю с картофелем с огня, когда подойдет время. Опустите картофель в холодную воду.


You want it to take on an open center shape. After the first year and in the summer, cut the shoots that are forming on the top of the tree by two or three buds. In a month, check the tree for progress. If you have three wide-angled branches spaced equally apart, cut back other branches to keep these as your three main branches.  A year from then, again in summer, prune any shoots growing below these main branches. From then on, remove any shoots in the center of the tree to help it keep its shape. Prune the tree in late winter or early spring to shape the tree. Cut off any branches that are rubbing against others as well as any that might be growing up into the open center of the tree. Pruning annually encourages production, not diminishes it. It encourages new growth, allocating more resources to the parts of the tree you want growing. You'll get 10 to 18 inches of new growth each season. After the tree blooms, which will take about 4 to 6 weeks, thin the fruit by spacing them out 6 to 8 inches apart. This ensures that the fruit left over becomes large and juicy. You also want the sun to be able to reach all branches and fruit – if some fruit is flowering in the shade, thin it – that way you can allocate the nutrients to the fruits that will grow faster. You always want an "open canopy" for your fruit. Try to have every branch have access to plenty of sunlight. Remove dead, dying, and crossing branches and blooms to give your fruit the best chance. Watch the fruits on the top and outsides of the tree – they'll likely be ready for harvest first. When there are no longer any bits of green on the fruits, they're ready. They should come off with a slight twist.  Peaches are notorious for bruising easily, so be careful when you pick them. They can store in a resealable bag in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or, of course, you could make peach jam.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обрезайте дерево. Прореживайте плоды. Собирайте урожай после полного вызревания плодов.


You want one that has some glue left that's too dry to spread. If you want, you can use a brand new glue stick. Just let it sit without its cap for a few days so it can dry out and become more tacky. Don't try this with a new glue stick that's still spreadable. The sticky tack will be too sticky, and it could glue your pictures to the wall instead of temporarily adhering them there, like sticky tack does. Take a pinch and stick it to the back of your pictures, posters, and other lightweight items, then press the items against the wall. When you're ready to take them down, the sticky tack will peel right off.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите старый клеящий карандаш. Пользуйтесь.


You want one that is affiliated with a national boxing organization and that also has a reputation for training fighters. If you are serious about this, do not go to a health club that happens to have boxing classes. You need a gym that's dedicated to boxing (and potentially other martial arts). Odds are if you do a bit of asking around, you'll find the place that has the reputation as the best of the best in your area. There will likely be no doubt about it which club you'd like to join. He will explain their hours of operation, fees and methods of training. You can also find out his experience as a boxing coach and whether he was a fighter himself at one point. Meet the staff and get a feel for the place. If it fills you with a sense of excitement and anticipation, it's probably right for you.  Do ask questions. Find out what they would recommend for you and what kind of training you should start. What's their schedule like? Who would you work with? How can you meet everyone? Make sure you know what you're getting into before you sign up. You want a club that has a wide range of clients at different levels. As you begin to develop your skills, you will want to start sparring with other people. A club with fighters at all different levels mean that there will always be someone for you to work with and that you can go grow with the club.  Think of it like walking into a restaurant: if there's no one there, you wouldn't eat there. And if there's only people in blue hats and you're not wearing a blue hat, you might not eat there. If there's only people who seem to be miserable, you probably wouldn't eat there. So take a look – do the clients seem A) fit and competent and B) happy with their training? If you can, find someone who doesn't work there about the establishment. Sometimes you need an unbiased party to get an honest opinion. Before you start working with a coach, it's probably a good idea to know at least the 101 of boxing and some of the terminology. You don't have to be good at it, you should just...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбор боксерского клуба. Поговорите с тренером. Ознакомьтесь с составом участников клуба. Ознакомьтесь с основами.


You want one with an active ingredient of 2% salicylic acid. Look for washes that are fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. Products like Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash are particularly good with this. Concentrate on the areas with pimples and wait a minute or so before rinsing to get rid of all the oil. Let the medicine sink in and do its work. Your skin is an organ in your body. Not figuratively, but literally. And like other organs in your body, it needs water and other nutrients in order to look and feel its best. Use lotion on your back whenever you've washed it (daily). Alternatively, use a non-medicated lotion, but be sure that it is guaranteed to be non-comedogenic. This is necessary because salicylic acid dries out your skin. Since you are already using salicylic acid to wash and moisturize, use a different medicine for spot treatment, such as 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Do not use 5% or 10% benzoyl peroxide if you have extremely sensitive skin because this will increase irritation. If you're sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, a 10% sulfur solution may work for you instead. Put a retinol cream on your back at night. This exfoliates your skin and prevents breakouts in tough places. Alpha Hydroxy Acids are essentially exfoliants, sloughing off dead skin that tends to clog pores and cause acne. Beta Hydroxy Acids fight the acne bacteria from the inside out. If you can, try to find a body scrub with AHAs and wash with that scrub three times per week. After showering and moisturizing, wipe your back with BHA-medicated pads. It's entirely possible that this is a condition which requires prescription acne pills or topical creams. Don't be afraid to see a dermatologist to make sure.

TL;DR in Russian:

Мойтесь, используя медикаментозное средство, которое не содержит масла. Увлажняйте кожу, используя лекарственный лосьон, который не содержит масла. Используйте лекарственный крем для лечения акне. Используйте крем с ретинолом. Используйте альфа-и-бета гидроксильные кислоты. Проконсультируйтесь с дерматологом.


You want someone with whom you can do activities, so you'll easily be able to spend time together. You want someone who you can have a conversation with. Choosing a girl with similar interests is crucial in making sure that neither of these things are a problem in the future. You start your relationship with things in common or you can build common interests over time. Try taking up new hobbies together in order to build new interests. One good example of a hobby to try as a couple is learning a language.You can find free language classes online or you can take a course at your local community center or school. The person who you choose to be with should share your values and priorities. This is one of the defining features of someone who is right for you. They don't need to be the "normal" values or priorities, but they should be the same as yours. This will prevent tension and conflict as you go through a relationship.  For example, if she's a hardcore conservative and you're very liberal, you're going to encounter a lot of philosophical differences that can, over time, make you respect each other less. However, if you can find common ground even between different values and priorities, you can sometimes make it work. You see this, for example, in couples with different religions. One might be Jewish and one might be Christian, but they're both devout in their love to God and that is enough for them. Sometimes the fundamental belief is more important than the details. You should have similar goals in life, if you plan on making this a very long-term relationship. It's okay for specific goals to change over time but the broad strokes should match up. This is because your goals will put you on a particular path in life, just like hers will determine her path. If your paths diverge, the relationship will be very difficult or even impossible. For example, it's okay if she doesn't plan on pursuing higher education if that is something that is also unimportant to you. However, if education and ambition are things...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ищите девушку, которая будет разделять ваши интересы. Выбирайте девушку, которая будет разделять ваши ценности и приоритеты. Ищите девушку, у которой такие же цели, как и у вас. Выбирайте девушку, которая хорошо относится к вашим друзьям и сама имеет хороших друзей. Выбирайте девушку с подобным жизненным опытом.


You want the ground to be lightly padded, since you're sure to fall over a couple of times. Outdoors, look for a grassy flat spot, and be sure to check for rocks and sticks. Indoors, a padded gym floor or carpeted room both work well. When you're learning how to do a handstand and walk on your hands, it helps to have someone nearby who can hold your legs in position until you get a feel for how to balance on your hands. Ask a friend to stand next to you while you practice.  They should gently hold your legs straight once they're above your head. After practicing for awhile, you won't need as much help from your spotter. Ask them to stand back unless you're about to fall over. Stand up straight with your feet in a comfortable, balanced stance. Hold your arms by your ears, making sure to squeeze tight. Take a large enough step into a lunge. Before you start walking on your hands, you need to learn how to balance in place and gain control over your movements. Keep practicing your handstand until you're able to easily move into position and hold it for at least twenty seconds before rolling out.  If you're having trouble getting the hang of it, try walking yourself up a sturdy wall. Get into a plank position with your feet toward the wall. Walk your feet up the wall and move your hands toward the wall until you're upright on your hands, using the wall as a brace. Try gently pushing off the wall so that your body is hand-standing without the wall. Eventually you'll need to get to the point where you can move into a handstand without using the wall. When you want to exit a handstand, roll out by bending your arms and tucking into a forward roll, or somersault. You can also simply drop your feet back and do a bridge, if you're flexible enough.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите хорошее место для тренировок. Найдите страхующего. Встаньте в исходное положение. Задержитесь в позиции в течение 20 секунд и больше.


You want the name of your business to be easy to say and easy to remember. You may think you're being original or clever, but if no one knows how to say your name or can't remember it, you're in trouble. Here are some things to think about as you start to eliminate complicated names:  Avoid names that are more than 2 or 3 syllables long. Avoid names with a long set of initials or numbers that will be hard to remember. Eliminate any names that just don't sound good. If it doesn't roll of the tongue, it's not a good name for a business. Avoid cute puns. Unless the outside world thinks the name is funny and cute and customers actually "get" the joke, you run the risk of alienating your potential customer base. Though your company's name should appeal to ask many people as possible, it shouldn't be so general that customers have no idea what kind of business you have or what service it represents. The name should signal the value, expertise, and uniqueness of your business, so it has to be specific while not constraining you. Watch out for names that limit the potential scope of your current and future business. If you call your coffee shop, "Mary's Coffee Shack," you may limit it to selling other items. Once you've eliminated most of the names you're working with, it's worth it to check to see if the name is already trademarked. If the name is already taken, you can run into a lot of trouble that can bankrupt your business down the line. You're better off checking that the trademark is available first. If you're in the U.S., you can use this search tool to find out if the name is available. You should also ask a professional agency to make sure that the name is not taken. Once you've narrowed down your search a bit, you should eliminate any names that don't have available URLs. You don't want to pick a website name that is slightly different from your company name, or to have to buy an existing website from a customer who already owns it. It's easier to start fresh. Just do a simple web search to see if the name...

TL;DR in Russian:

Откажитесь от названий, которые слишком сложны или громоздки. Уберите название, у которых излишне широкое применение. Не используйте названия уже существующих торговых марок. Избегайте названия, которые уже используются в Интернете. Оставьте по крайне мере 5 названий в списке.


You want the outside to cook quickly, but not burn.  A takoyaki pan is a metal pan that resembles a muffin tin. It has small round holes for each piece of takoyaki. If you don't have a takoyaki pan, a mini muffin tin will suffice. Generously brush the takoyaki pan with oil. Use a pasty brush to do this. Be careful when working with oil over a hot pan. Don't forget to oil the ridges in between the small bowls in the pan. Fill the holes with the batter completely.  It is ok for the batter to overflow slightly. To make this easier, use a measuring cup with a handle to pour the batter. This will also help with spilling and mess. Do this by putting 3 pieces of octopus into each takoyaki.  Sprinkle on 1/2 cup of chopped green onion. After that, sprinkle on the tenkasu and powdered katsuobushi. The takoyaki will now need to brown. If you like red ginger, you can also about 2 tablespoons of Beni shōga to the batter. During this time, the base of the takoyaki will brown.  Don't turn or disturb the takoyaki during these three minutes. Let the takoyaki cook until the timer goes off. Afterwards, you will flip the takoyaki. Use long skewers to do this by cutting and scraping the batter between each takoyaki.  Turn each piece 180 degrees so that the cooked portion on the bottom of the each ball faces upwards. Stuff the edges as you turn them so the ball ends up a nice rounded shape. To stuff the edges, push any pieces of takoyaki that are sticking up under the edge of each hole. Use the skewers to do this so you don't get burnt. During this time, turn the balls constantly.  This will make sure the takoyaki cook evenly. The takoyaki should be golden brown on all sides when cooked. When the 4 minute timer goes off, it is time to plate the takoyaki. Use the skewers to do this as they will be very hot. You will now add the sauces.  Pour takoyaki sauce and spicy Japanese mayonnaise over them. Sprinkle dried seaweed and some katsuobushi flakes on top. Serve immediately, but be careful as the takoyaki will be very hot inside.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нагрейте сковороду для такояки на среднем огне. Подождите, пока над кастрюлей не появится дым, прежде чем добавлять кляр. Добавьте в кляр осьминога, зеленый лук, тенкацу и порошкообразный кацуобуси. Установите таймер на три минуты. После выключения таймера необходимо отделить кляр от каждой выемки. Установите таймер на 4 минуты. Переложите такояки на тарелку.


You want the soil to be loose and light when sowing your sunflower seeds. If your soil is low in nutrients or drains poorly, mix in three to four inches of compost. You can simply use your hands to dig these small holes. If planting in rows, make sure to allow about 30 inches (76.2 cm) of soil between each row. Sunflowers need a lot of space to grow healthily.  For large sunflower types, allow 18 inches (45.7 cm) of space between seeds. For medium-sized sunflower types, allow 12 inches (30.5 cm) of space between seeds. You can stagger your planting over a few weeks to experience blooms at different times throughout the summer. Since sunflowers are annuals, meaning they flower once per year, staggering your seeds will allow you to enjoy blooms over a longer time. Choose an organic fertilizer when possible and spread it over the seeding area to promote strong stalks. Make sure you wet the soil, but do not drench or flood the seeds.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разрыхлите почву руками или лопаткой. Сделайте лунки глубиной в пару сантиметров на расстоянии от 10 до 45 см друг от друга, в зависимости от вида подсолнуха. Положите в каждую ямку несколько семян и накройте землей. Добавьте небольшой слой удобрений после посадки семян. После добавления удобрения тщательно полейте все водой.


You want the spinach to grow in soil that is continually moist but not overly drenched. Depending on the climate, you should water your spinach crop on average once or twice per week. Again, spinach does not do well in hot weather. If temperatures begin to climb, you can cover the soil with a shade cloth to lower the temperature of the soil and keep the plants cool. If your spinach plants are growing slowly, you may want to add more nitrogen-based fertilizer. As mentioned above, spinach likes soil rich in organic matter such as well-rotted manure, alfalfa meal, soybean meal, cottonseed meal, and blood meal. Add the fertilizer according to label recommendations and water thoroughly. Spinach is a cold-hardy crop that farmers often maintain over the winter for an early crop next year. During winter, protect your spinach plants in a "low tunnel" of row cover over a simple PVC frame, with ventilation to prevent overheating on sunny days. The spinach plants will be semi-dormant during the darker months, requiring infrequent watering and no fertilization. Once longer daylight hours trigger growth in late winter, provide water-soluble fertilizer and care for the growing spinach as you would at other times of year. Some varieties are more cold tolerant than others. Check the seed catalog or contact the seed supplier for more information.

TL;DR in Russian:

Постоянно увлажняйте место посадки шпината. Накрывайте грунт затеняющей сеткой, если температура поднимется выше 26 °С. Удобряйте растения только при необходимости. Позаботьтесь о шпинате зимой.


You want the video to remind your viewers of your brand. Therefore, use similar language to what you use on your website and pick a similar style of graphics.  If your brand is more professional, use professional language. If your brand is more quirky, use language that reflects that quirkiness. Using a lot of jargon or using convoluted, run-on sentences can be confusing and off-putting for your audience. Pretend you are describing your product to your grandma. You want to reach as wide an audience as possible. Though you want to reach a wide audience and your language should reflect that, your product is most likely meant for a particular audience. Gear your script and format to that audience. It’s ok to use some younger slang (that everyone understands) if that’s who your audience is.  For instance, if you want to discuss a particular problem your product is addressing or even if you want to poke fun at yourself, you could use slang like “epic fail.” Be sure to address the audience as “you,” as it will draw them in Generally, viewers will connect more with something lighthearted than with something very serious. Try poking a bit of fun at yourself in the process. Check your script for errors. Make sure you have grammatically correct sentences. It's a good idea to give the script to someone else to look over, as they will pick up on any errors you might have missed Overall, a great script is short, to the point, and memorable. A good length for an explainer video is 1 minute to 1 ½ minutes, which is approximately 140 to 180 words per minute or 210 to 270 words per minute and a half. Stand out from the crowd in the style of video you use or in the humor you use. Try something innovative with animation or draw your viewers in with a set of trivia questions. Maybe what makes your video “memorable” is what you’re offering to the viewer—a new idea or a great offer. Pick something that will stick with them for a while.

TL;DR in Russian:

You want to appear in control, poised, and confident without looking awkward or uncomfortable.  Approach someone directly, rather than from the side of behind. Maintain enough distance so you can hear the person but are not in their face.  Relax (do not slouch or hunch) your shoulders and spread your feet shoulder-width apart so your body weight is balanced evenly on both legs.  Fold or clasp your hands and hold them in front of your stomach, no higher than your diaphragm. If you are addressing someone who is taller than you, suggest sitting down so you are at the same height. Find a table where you can sit and talk across from one another.  Sit with your back straight. Your head should be upright and evenly balanced on your shoulders. Avoid tilting your head to one side or hunching your shoulders. Do not cross your legs. This can communicate that you are distracted or bored. Regularly crossing your legs when sitting may contribute to back pain or formation of spider veins.  Clasp or fold your hands on the table. Having your hands in a location where the other person can see them to establish trust and demonstrate your sincerity. How you use your hands to communicate can set the tone for the rest of the conversation or interaction.  When gesturing to make a point, keep your fingers together and point with an open palm.  Avoid pointing or jabbing your finger at someone. Look the other person in the eye and relax your face.  Do not stare at the floor or look off to the side when speaking or listening. These will make you look nervous. Do not clench your jaw or tense the muscles in your face. Maintain direct eye contact, but avoid 'eye-balling' the other person.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте настойчивы. Если вы сидите, это не должно влиять на ваше поведение. Жестикулируйте. Следите за мимикой.


You want to avoid carbonated drinks like sodas because they can cause bloating and cramping. Instead, stay hydrated by regularly drinking water.  In addition, carbonated drinks have a diuretic effect. Instead, drink water. It will also help if your stomach is upset on the flight. Take regular sips of the water, rather than downing it all at once. Drink water 24 to 48 hours before your trip too at regular intervals.  It’s a good idea to drink at least 8 ounces of water for each hour that you’re in the air. Take a water bottle on the plane; there’s no ban on it, generally. Drinking either one of these before you fly or during the flight could make you feel sicker.  Alcohol could lead to a sick stomach. It can also make it harder to fall asleep after you wake up. Instead, in addition to water, choose beverages that have a lot of electrolytes, such as those in tomato or fruit juice. Other beverages can also help hydrate you. In addition, try not to drink alcohol the night before you fly. Having a hangover is going to make an upset stomach much more likely. There are many different supplements that can help ease or prevent an upset stomach.  Use magnesium to destress. This is a muscle relaxant, and some people add it to herbal tea. Other sources of magnesium include organic cereal and cacao nibs. Digestive enzymes can also help you on board. Try ginger. Take a ginger pill, suck on ginger candy or ask for a ginger ale. This is said to help some people with motion sickness, although watch drinking too many carbonated beverages. Natural remedies for motion sickness include ginger, peppermint, fennel, basil, and Fenugreek.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте много воды. Избегайте алкоголя и кофеина. Примите пищевые добавки.


You want to avoid the cage moving around. Place the side of the cage toward the front of the car, so that the bunny won’t hit his face if the car needs to brake suddenly.   Never place a bunny carrier in the closed-in trunk of a car. It’s too dark and scary, and he could run out of air! Bunnies can ride in a covered truck bed or trailer if they are well ventilated. However, avoid this if it’s hot outside because rabbits are sensitive to heat. The rabbit carrier will need to be strapped in tightly. Run the AC if it’s hot or even warm outside. Rabbits are more sensitive to heat than we are. Park in shaded areas when you stop and leave the windows down if it’s cool enough outside; or if it’s hot, leave the car on and the air conditioning running. You can bring two keys with you to be able to lock the doors while you’re out of the car.  If possible, travel during cooler parts of the day, like early in the morning or after the sun has gone down in the evening. It’s not likely it will ever be too cold for a bunny in the car, unless the temperatures are below freezing outside. If it’s safe enough for you to travel, it’s safe for the bunny to stay in an unheated car. If you’re staying in a hotel, check ahead of time to be sure that they allow rabbits in the room. If the hotel doesn’t allow it, then be sure you wait to stop until after the sun has gone down and the temperatures have dropped. Lock the car doors and leave the windows down enough to provide ventilation overnight. Park in the shade so that the early morning sun doesn’t stress or overheat your bunny. Be sure that there is a continuous supply of water in the water bottle. When you stop, offer treats like apples or carrots. You can leave these in the carrier during travel; he may not eat them, but it’s nice to have them in there. Just remove them if they start to go bad. Offer a vitamin supplement such as Vita-Stress to help with the strain of transporting your bunny. If your bunny overheats, you’ll need to immediately get him to a cooler place and be sure...

You want to be able to fix any mistakes you may make, or make adjustments to your design. By using pencil, you will be able to easily erase and mark over what you draw. Be sure to keep your lines parallel to the top and bottom of the paper. Try clipping your paper, or the material you are drawing on, to the table to keep it straight. This will help keep your letters straight. You can use the fonts stored on your computer for inspiration, or you can search for fonts online. Once you find a font you want to use, keep it out if front of you as an example. Go slowly, and try to be as accurate as possible. Remember to use a ruler when possible. Using a pen with a finer point, or one that is made to glide smoothly, will help your letters turn out better. You can find special pens such as calligraphy pens online or at large convenience stores. Gently go over the area, and make sure you do not smudge the your pen lines. Try waiting until the pen is completely dry before erasing your visible pencil lines.

TL;DR in Russian:

You want to be able to leave your job on the best terms possible given your situation. Your future employment may depend on your ability to stay calm in the present. There may be friendships and/or professional connections between your current company's employees and potential employers. Plus, your current company may be contacted as a reference. Therefore, you must do your best to remain calm and stay professional by doing the following:  Listen to what your employer has to say. It may be tough to keep quiet but in order to understand the situation, you must listen. Do not argue. No matter the circumstances, the decision has been made by your employer. As a courtesy to you they are giving you an option to either resign or stay and wait to be fired. Arguments and pleas will not change their minds. Do not cause a scene up until you leave for good. The meeting can go very differently if you act out and the employer rescinds your option to resign. If you pose any threat or you are unprofessional, you will be asked to leave and escorted out the building by security. If this happens there will be negative implications such as bad references, bad impressions, possible ineligibility for unemployment or company benefits and possible legal issues. Most likely you already understand the circumstances surrounding your choice to resign because you have been spoken to already, have a feeling something is going on or know you have done something undesirable. However, if you do not fully understand, you must ask questions. Knowing the exact reasons for asking you to resign will help you make your decision about whether to stay or wait to be fired. For example, if you are being asked to leave because your position is being eliminated, then resigning will leave you without unemployment benefits and it may be best to wait to be fired. If you are asked to leave because you have engaged in prohibited acts defined by the company, it may be best to resign because of possible negative implications and ineligibility for...

You want to be comfortable when you meditate, but make sure you’re not slouched over. Sitting up straight will open up your lungs and make it easier to take deep, steady breaths. Try sitting in a comfortable chair or on a blanket on the floor with your legs crossed. The goal of meditative breathing is to slow your breaths, help your body take in more oxygen, and be mindful of how you’re breathing. Once you’re comfortable, take deep breaths through your nose to steady your breathing and relax your body. As you’re inhaling, breathe from your diaphragm so your belly expands. Once you’ve taken a few deep breaths and relaxed your body, try to let go of your thoughts and any distractions around you. Instead, focus on your breath as you inhale and exhale, paying attention to how it feels as the air passes through your nose and fills up your lungs. Also, notice the sensation of your lungs deflating and your breath leaving your nose or mouth when you exhale. Not only can meditative breathing help calm you down when you’re feeling stressed or anxious, it can also train you to be more mindful and present. When you learn to be mindful of your breathing, you can start to breathe more effectively even when you’re not meditating. When you’re first getting started with meditative breathing, try short, 3-5 minute sessions. As it gets easier for you, you can start meditating for longer periods of time. Also, don’t worry if your mind starts to wander and your focus turns away from your breathing. That’s natural, and it will happen less over time. If your mind wanders and you notice yourself thinking about something else, just return your focus to your breathing, and continue to slowly inhale and exhale.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сядьте удобно и держите спину прямо. Сделайте несколько глубоких вдохов. Сконцентрируйтесь на дыхании. Продолжайте равномерно дышать и не отвлекайтесь.


You want to be sure it is physically healthy and doesn't have any hereditary problems. Watch the guinea pig move. It should run and walk without difficulty. Look at the shape of the guinea pig. Make sure it is neither too skinny or too fat. Also, look at the pig's legs and feet to make sure its foot pads aren't swollen or bleeding and that the legs are straight along the bone. Lastly, look at the skin. There should not be any bald spots. Look in its eyes, ears, and nose. If there is discharge in the ears or nose or film on the eyes the guinea pig might have some kind of infection. Another sign that the guinea pig might be sick is if it doesn't eat. It should eat frequently, so even if you meet a guinea pig for a short period you should see it eat. To do this, you will need to inspect the genitals. Also check that they are over six weeks old and aren't pregnant. Just because a guinea pig is healthy doesn't mean it has the personality to be your perfect pet. Play with the guinea pig for a bit and gauge its personality. Ask him or her if the pig has ever been sick and if its parents were healthy. Chances are good that they will tell you the truth and its always better to ask than not to.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проведите внешний осмотр своего потенциального питомца. Убедитесь в том, что морская свинка здорова. Не забудьте проверить пол морской свинки, особенно если у вас уже есть другая морская свинка. Оцените характер будущего питомца. Попросите продавца рассказать вам полную историю приобретаемой вами свинки.


You want to be the one to wake up first so that you can get out without making things too awkward. Don't make a big deal out of hooking up. You don't have anything to be ashamed of. Just be calm and let yourself enjoy it. Put yourself together and make sure all panties are accounted for. Wash off your makeup quickly if it's all smudged and tie up or comb your hair into something that looks intentional. You should also clean up any mess you guys made the night before as best you can without making too much noise. Leave if you're at a hotel or make an excuse about needing to get him out of your place. You want to clear out before things get too awkward, especially if either of you is new to the hook up. You don't need to apologize to anyone about hooking up with a guy (unless you have a boyfriend, in which case, oops). Don't apologize to him. You're just going to make both of you feel bad about something you don't need to feel bad about. A quick kiss goodbye will help make sure everyone leaves with good memories. Leave him your phone number if you want to leave the option open for a Round 2.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проснитесь первой. Держитесь уверенно. Приведите себя в порядок. Уйдите пока вам не стало неловко. Не извиняйтесь. Поцелуйте его на прощанье.


You want to bring passion to all parts of your life. It will help you to be excited about what you do and what you experience. Being passionate about things is also a great way to find friends and romantic partners, because people are drawn to those who are passionate about things.  Figure out what you like. This could be anything from cooking, to video games, to saving the whales. You should get out and try new things to figure out what interests you. For example: you might go to a free lecture at your local university about global climate change and become passionate about saving the planet. You wouldn't have found this passion if you hadn't gone outside your usual comfort zone and tried something new. You can also share your passion with other people. Get your friends interested in your interests, or go online and find like-minded people to get excited about your passions with. There are tons of websites out there devoted to everything from rock climbing to knitting. You can even look around your area to see if there's a group devoted to your passion, or a way to start one (like a writer's group, or a quilting circle). . Being grateful for things in your life is a prime way to boost your mental and physical health. It doesn't necessarily mean that everything is going swimmingly in your life. In fact, many of the most grateful people are those who have experienced some trauma or life altering (usually "bad") event, like an illness or death of a loved one.   Keep a gratitude journal. This means that every day you write down between 3 and 5 things that you are grateful for. They can be as simple as "the sun warmed me today" or "I got to have bacon for breakfast" or as big as "I got engaged today" or "my book got accept for publication." Make sure that you spend time thinking about the things that you are grateful for. Say "thank you" to the people you talk to throughout the day: the server who brings you your lunch, the lady who holds the door for you, your son when he makes you dinner. By spreading gratitude...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не забывайте о страсти. Будьте благодарным человеком Изменяйте то, что в ваших силах. Продолжайте учиться. Следите за здоровьем. Отвечайте за свои поступки.


You want to catch your partner at a good time. A confrontation about cheating is serious. It should not take place at a time when either of you are busy.  Ask your partner ahead of time when a good time to talk is. You could even propose a time you think might work. For example, "If it's okay with you, I would like to talk tomorrow night after dinner." From there, work on eliminating distractions. Make sure, before the talk, you power down electronic devices like the TV and your phones. You want to give this kind of conversation your full attention. You do not want to go into the conversation expecting it to go one way or another. This may affect your behavior, and make it more difficult to remain calm. Talking about cheating will be an emotionally draining experience. If you indulge fantasies in which your partner gets mad or defensive, you'll go into the conversation on edge. Instead, embrace what you don't know. Think to yourself, as you enter the conversation, "I don't know." Remind yourself, as the conversation begins to unfold, "I don't know what is going to happen. I don't know how my partner will react." It's important to stay calm if you want to address the situation in a productive fashion. You likely have questions you want answered and issues you want addressed. In order for this to happen, you cannot completely lose control.  Take a few deep breaths before going into the conversation. You may want to even vent your emotions ahead of time, to someone else or in a journal, to get them out of your system. It's okay to have emotions. You may cry or become angry. However, strive to keep these emotions from inhibiting your ability to communicate effectively. You can also act on your emotions after dealing with the situation. "I"-statements are statements phrased in a way to lessen personal judgment. Instead of expressing an objective truth about the situation, you're emphasizing your personal feeling. The have three parts. They begin with "I feel..." after which you immediately state your feeling. From...

You want to choose a place to visit in your city or town that's close by. You can check out a place you've never been or a place you don't visit often, which can still be enriching. Places you do visit regularly can also offer new experiences if you explore them from a new angle.  For example, if you usually breeze past a local museum, take some time to check out the exhibits over the summer. Historic sites, parks and recreation areas, walking and hiking trails, farms open to the public and amusement parks make great places to explore. You might also plan a trip to a new mall or movie theater that you haven't visited yet. Consider riding the bus or commuter train to see even more sights in your area you haven't seen before. Don't forget to take lots of pictures of your adventure to share with friends. Going bike riding on warm summer evenings can be great exercise and lots of fun for the whole family. Play it safe and stick to popular biking trails in your community. You can make the activity interesting by going a bit further along the trail each time you go out. If you and your friends don't have bikes, consider renting them. Not every community has bike rentals, but take advantage of the opportunity if your community has such an option. Get together with other teens and plan game nights. Game night can be just for teens, or you can make the event for all ages. Games that work great for large groups include street hockey, dodge ball, whiffle ball and frisbee. The point is to have lots of fun, so consider games that don't require much skill or athleticism.  You might plan to play board games and card games, especially for smaller groups. You can build buzz for your neighborhood game night on your favorite social networking site. Try to get everyone who participates to bring a beverage or a snack to the event. Movie nights are easy to plan thanks to streaming video services. All you need for successful movie nights are blankets, pillows and snacks. You can organize movie nights just for your immediate family...

TL;DR in Russian:

You want to clean your face of any dirt or oil. Think of this step as preparing your face so it is a blank canvas. You want to prepare your skin as best as you can so your makeup brings out your best features. To wash your face properly, follow these steps:  Wash your face with lukewarm water and a cream cleanser. You want to avoid using too hot of water as it will dry out your skin, and too cold water will make your skin look red or splotchy.  A cream cleanser will hydrate your skin and wipe off any lingering oils or makeup. Dab your face with a towel; do not rub. Rubbing may damage your skin. If the skin around your eyes is particularly dry, use an eye cream to moisturize.

TL;DR in Russian:

Умойте лицо.


You want to cut against the grain. To cut against the grain, look at the long horizontal strands that run through the steak and cut perpendicular to them. Don't be afraid to leave a little fat on the beef, it will help it cook later. You want to cut the garlic finely into small chunks. Mix your ingredients well. Take your time to let the beef soak up the mixture, using your fingers to lightly message the meat. Think -- honestly -- about giving a gentle message to a loved one! Make sure you create a nice, tight seal around the beef -- it will marinate for a long time. Scents and flavors from the air will mix into your food if you leave it uncovered, changing the flavor of your tapa. If you are in a hurry you can leave it in overnight. However, the longer the beef marinates the better it will taste. You can put a little bit of cooking oil at the bottom of the pan, but it is not necessary. You want to keep all of the juices in the skillet. Turn the beef regularly, every minute or two, to keep it from burning. You may even want to keep the beef cooking another 2-3 minutes if you want it to be crispy on the edges. If the liquid is gone and you still want to cook the beef, add a tablespoon of oil to the pan to help it fry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оставьте тапа мариноваться в холодильнике на 1-3 дня. Когда мясо уже замариновалось, нагрейте большую сковородку. Высыпьте говядину и вылейте маринад на сковороду. Готовьте говядину до тех пор, пока вся жидкость не испарится.


You want to find "Windows Explorer," which is the window you use to sort through files. You can also open it by clicking on "My Computer." On the left side of the screen you should see something like "This PC," or just "Computer." Right click it with your mouse, then click on "Properties," which is located at the bottom of the list.  In the middle of the screen something like "Installed Memory (RAM):" should appear. This is your computer's Random Access Memory. The higher your RAM, the faster you computer will run. " You can find the amount of RAM you have through "Control Panel" → "System and Security" → "System." It will be labeled as "Installed Memory."

You want to find a platform which seems reliable, safe, and professional. Which website can cater to your blog? Which template seems the most eye-catching? How will you make sure that your blog is unique? Most prolific bloggers can tell you that money should not be your key goal. It'd be like purposefully picking up a bad gambling habit in the hopes you one day hit it big. So find a site that can let you do what you love, check out the competition, and get to know your new environment. You've passed the point of no return. You'll soon find yourself in a middle-of-the-night sugar-induced stupor, going through your work making sure your commas are rightfully placed and your photo captions are as quippy as can be. But, wait. What is your content actually about? You have an idea for that, right?  Ideally, there will be some void you can fill. The Internet is so huge now that people don't go on it to pay for things they can get for free or even to be marginally entertained. They want to learn things, to get inspired, to laugh their butts off. The only way traffic will come to your blog is if you offer something other people can't. So what's unique to you? What do you know better than anyone else out there in the blogosphere? And then blog about it.  Before you can go any further, just figure out your blog's name, what your content is going to focus on, and who you're appealing to. Then you can go to the next step! Which is... It takes money to make money, you know? And they're really not that expensive in the scheme of things -- maybe $100 or so. You could also blackmail a friend of yours into it if you know of someone who's good at web design and would be easy to blackmail. It may seem like an unnecessary step, but the attention span of Internet surfers is becoming infinitely more microscopic by the day; if your blog doesn't look good, the content doesn't matter. Check out your competition. What do others do that works? What kind of setup is the most user-friendly? What is the most aesthetically pleasing? What...

Исследуйте другие блоги и веб-сайты, посвященные ведению блогов. Продумайте ваш блог. Наймите дизайнера. Будьте терпеливы и реалистичны. Создавайте хороший, полезный, читаемый контент. Не бросайте вашу основную работу.


You want to find natural foods for your pet that are created from real meat, vegetables, grains, vitamins, and minerals rather than just a variety of preservatives and chemicals. If you can read the ingredient list without a dictionary, chances are the food is healthy and nutritious. Look for labels that say the food is “fit for human consumption.” If you can’t eat your dog’s food safely, it is much more likely to harm your dog’s digestive system. Many advertisements tout meat as the first ingredient, but this doesn’t always mean that your pet will receive high quality protein. In some cases, this may not even mean your dog is receiving more meat. Ingredient lists on nutrition labels are ordered by the weight of each ingredient as it is added to the recipe. Once cooked, this weight can change, so these lists can be misleading. In order to select a pet food with the best quality, natural ingredient, you'll need to understand how to accurately read these ingredient lists.  Check for the percentages of protein, fat, and other nutrients in addition to reading the ingredient list. Different foods may offer the same amounts of key nutrients, but they can vary dramatically in price. This is generally because the more affordable foods use lower quality protein sources. Purchase the best quality food you can afford. This can include salt, sugar, artificial colors, and added flavoring. These unnatural nutrient sources do not add to your dog’s nutrition in any way, but they are designed to make the food last longer without spoiling, look more appealing, or taste more like foods that your pet enjoys. While some dogs never show signs of digestive or other health concerns caused by consuming these unnatural food additives, others show significant negative response like decreased energy and elevated risk for diseases common among their breed. This is especially important as your dog ages or for younger dogs who are less active. Many prepackaged pet foods, even natural ones, include large amounts of sugar that make the food...

Изучите ингредиенты на этикетке. Научитесь читать информацию о составе. Не покупайте продукты с некоторыми консервантами и наполнителями. Считайте калории. Поговорите с ветеринаром или поставщиком корма. Используйте добавки с покупным кормом.


You want to generally make your base wardrobe using pieces of clothing that don't go out of style. This will keep you looking good (you won't be embarrassed 20 years from now, when you look back on pictures with your kids). It will also help you save money and reduce waste. Mix in trendy pieces and swap them out for the newer fads as time passes, but keep the main bulk of your wardrobe classic. With your color palette chosen using the advice in the previous section, you're now going to apply that as you create your wardrobe. By keeping all of the colors in your minimalist wardrobe in the same family (warm or cool), you'll be able to ensure that every piece matches with almost every other piece, and they can freely be switched around to create tons of different outfits. A few standard tops can be mixed and matched to work in any season, in any regions. You can also mix and match for more or less formal occasions. This means just a few pieces will get you through almost any given day!  Get a few basic tees and tanks. Get tee shirts and tank tops (or other warm-weather shirts) that look good on you. You'll want some in neutral colors and some in more interesting colors. Get some fancy tops. You'll then want to get some fancier shirts. These are the kinds of shirts that you might wear to a nice bar or to a cocktail party. Choose these in sensual or dark colors. Get some basic button-downs. You'll want several pairs of basic button down shirts. Depending on the weather in your area, these can be long or short sleeve, or a mix of the two. Have most in white, but a few can be colored or black. Get some sweaters. Now you'll want some sweaters. How heavy duty these are and how many you get will depend on the weather in your area. Have at least one cardigan (button down sweater) and one full sweater. More than one of each is a good idea, so that you can have one of each in a neutral color and one of each in a brighter color. Just like the tops, a few standard bottoms can be mixed and matched to work just about...

You want to get the same experience as any other patron, as many restaurants will give you special treatment that may change your review if they know you're a critic. Instead of telling them you are there to review their food, simply head inside and take a table, acting like any other customer. The Association of Food Journalists even suggest that you avoid large culinary events (grand openings, staff parties, etc.) so you don't risk being approached by chefs looking for a good review.  If you are an established reviewer you should make reservations under a different name. You should still bring a notebook or small recorder with you to take notes, though you can also take them on your phone. To write a great review, you should be taking notes. Did you need a reservation, and how far in advance was it set up? Where is the restaurant, and what is the neighborhood like? How was the parking? These facts will make up a very small part of your review, but this information is essential to help potential customers find the perfect restaurant for their night. Give your reader a feel for your experience. Does the wait staff treat you like family or an old friend, or is the place elegant and classy? What is the dress code like? What kind of atmosphere is in the restaurant? Be creative in the description -- a good food review is not just about the menu, it is about the entire experience.  Do the decorations create an appealing ambiance? How are people enjoying their meals? At large, talkative tables or many small, intimate dates? Avoid thing like, "the service was good/bad." You want specifics. The best way to get them is by asking questions. While you don't want to pester people, a good waitstaff will know what foods go well together, if there are any allergens in the dish, and the basic presentation of the dish. Most importantly, a good waitstaff is there when you need it -- when water glasses get low, when a fork is dropped, and when you're ready to order your next course. You will not be able to eat everything on the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не сообщайте персоналу, что вы ресторанный критик. Опишите уровень организации. Опишите атмосферу и первые впечатления. Опишите уровень обслуживания. Заказывайте блюда из нескольких разделов меню.


You want to give your German acquaintances and friends a holistic view of yourself, and knowing how to talk about your immediate family can add a significant layer to it.  Meine Mutter - My mother  Mein Vater - My father  Mein Bruder - My brother  Meine Schwester - My sister  Mein Mann - My husband  Meine Frau - My wife Here, you can use the same vocabulary that you previously used to describe yourself. If you're still a little uncomfortable with the language, simply use the following descriptions.  Meine Mutter/Schwester/Frau ist groß/klein/nett - My mother/sister/wife is tall/short/nice  Sie hat braune/blaue/grüne Augen - She has brown/blue/green/eyes  Mein Vater/Bruder/Mann ist groß/klein - My father/brother/husband is tall/short  Er hat braune/blaue/grüne Augen - He has brown/blue/green/eyes  Meine Mutter/Schwester/Frau ist freundlich - My mother/sister/wife is friendly"   Mein Vater/Bruder/Mann ist lustig - My father/brother/husband is funny

You want to give your plant the best chance at growing and surviving. Planting at the right time of year is a key factor in this. Planting times will vary depending on the plant and where you live. Again, this will vary depending on where you live.  If you are not sure of the best time of year to plant your tree, consult your local University Extension Service or similar service. Each county in the United States has a University Extension Service and many countries, including India and Kenya, have them as well.  If you are in the United States, you can locate your local University Extension Service using the National Institute for Food and Agriculture’s interactive online map at http://nifa.usda.gov/partners-and-extension-map .

You want to have two times the amount of wax flakes than your jars' ounces. For example, an 8 oz jar will need 16 oz. of wax flakes. Use a heat-resistant glass measuring cup with a handle, such as a Pyrex cup, to measure and then later melt the flakes.  When choosing wax flakes, soy based wax burns longer than paraffin and some people prefer it as a natural ingredient. Make sure that you buy wicks that are meant for soy candles if you choose to use soy instead of paraffin wax. All you will need is a medium sized pot or saucepan and a stovetop range. Place the measuring cup on the side of the pot and fill the pot with water. You want a lower level of water so that the water doesn't splash into the wax as it boils. You don't want a full rolling boil because that may cause the wax to overheat. Stir the wax with a wooden spoon as it melts so that all of the flakes are equally liquefied. You want to keep the temperature of the wax between 150°-180° F or 65°-80° C. Do not leave the wax unattended. This is so that it doesn't overheat but is mostly for safety. At these temperatures wax can burn skin easily. Break off small pieces of non-toxic wax crayon pieces to add a hue to the wax. A little bit goes a long way, so add the crayon in increments of a 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) piece at a time. You can test out the color intensity as you go by dropping a little wax onto some parchment paper and letting it cool as the wax finishes melting. Once it reaches these temperatures and is fully melted, set the measuring cup aside. Let the wax cool down to 125° F or 50° C. You cannot add the essential oils or scents at a higher temperature because the scent can evaporate away. For every 16 oz. of wax flakes, use ten drops of essential oils. You can mix and match scents and oils for a unique candle. For scent ideas, reference your own favorite candle scents or smell different oil combinations to determine what meshes and what clashes.

You want to know how strong your moonshine is, both for aging and as an indication of how well your distillation went. Be sure not to confuse the proof and tralle readings on the hydrometer. Your proof will always be two times the amount of the tralle. If you do decide to age your whiskey, you want it to go into the barrel at around 58% to 70% ABV. Aging will make the whiskey smoother and give it its distinctive taste. Whiskey will only age in barrels. When it is bottled, whiskey will stop aging.  Whiskey is generally aged in oak barrels. The barrels can be carefully charred or toasted first, or can be sourced from another distiller that's kept another spirit in the barrel for added flavor. If you want to add oak flavor to your moonshine but don't want to have to spring for a barrel, you can also add toasted oak chips to your whiskey. Toast your oak chips over low heat (200º F) in the oven for an hour, until they are aromatic but not yet charred. Remove and cool. Transfer to whiskey container and steep for  5 - 15 days or longer, depending on your tastes. Strain the whiskey through cheesecloth or a clean pillowcase to catch all the wood chips. . After your whiskey is aged, you'll want to dilute it before you drink it and bottle it. At this point, the whiskey is still probably 60% - 80% ABV, which would make for a fiery, uncomfortable drinking experience. It should be diluted to around 40% or 45% ABV for a much more pleasant drinking experience. Bottle your whiskey, along with a note on when you bottled it. Always drink responsibly.
