Body language is very important when it comes to conveying a certain attitude. Making yourself seem as tall and confident as possible will make you seem more intimidating, so be sure to practice good posture. You can even lean forward a bit when communicating with others. Whenever you are sitting, standing, or walking, try and take up as much space as possible. This suggests that you command the space you are in and that you are confident in yourself.  When walking, move with your arms open (swinging, out at your sides, etc.) When sitting, lean back, and keep your arms and legs loose and open. When standing, keep your legs apart and arms out whenever possible. When you are standing in front of or next to others, rest your hands on your hips, and keep your arms open, away from your body. In many contexts, this stance conveys authority and can come across as intimidating. If you physically take up the space that others are trying to move through, they will either have to confront you or move to the side. Most people will want to avoid directly confronting you, and will either ask if you can let them by, or slip by without bothering you. Either way, you will appear intimidating.  Try this technique by blocking hallways, staircases, doorways, etc. If you want to appear especially intimidating, if someone asks if you can please let them by, say something like “Oh, I didn’t notice you there.” When standing, walking, or sitting, cross your arms over your chest. In many contexts, this can appear intimidating or aggressive. Make sure to cross your arms high over your chest, and do so firmly. If you cross your arms over your lower body, or loosely, it might convey nervousness rather than authority. While a smile can convey friendliness and agreeableness, a scowl suggests aggressiveness, anger, or displeasure. This can make people slightly afraid to talk to you, which may be desirable when you want to appear intimidating. Using your fingers to point, especially at people, conveys authority and conviction. In some cases,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Стойте прямо. Заполняйте собой пространство. Кладите руки на бедра. Стойте на пути других людей. Скрещивайте руки. Хмурьтесь. Показывайте пальцем. Нарастите мышцы. Не ерзайте и не суетитесь. Выглядите ухоженным. Сохраняйте нейтральное выражение лица. Соблюдайте зрительный контакт.


Body lice can hide and thrive in any old bedding or towels that a person with body lice may have used.  By properly cleaning both towels and bedding you deprive the body lice of their home, killing them in the process.  Use hot water when cleaning any bedding.  The water should be at least 130°F (54.4°C). Don't let the bedding or towels come in contact with other bedding or clothing, as this can spread the lice. Make sure you are cleaning bedding and towels at least once a week. Body lice are usually spread as a result of poor personal hygiene.  Changing dirty or soiled clothes regularly can also remove body lice and prevent a future infestation of them.  By wearing clean clothes and properly bathing you can remove body lice and prevent future troubles.  At least once a week, if not more frequently, you should change into fresh clothing. Always wash and dry infested clothing at high temperatures, around 130°F (54.4°C). A simple and easy method that you can use to fight against body lice infestations is to bathe regularly and practice proper hygiene.  By keeping your body clean you will create an uncomfortable environment for any body lice, causing them to leave your body and helping you avoid any future trouble from them.  Try to shower or take a bath at least once daily. Wash and clean your hair at least once a week. Make sure to clean all areas of your body using both soap and water. If you or someone you know has a severe infestation of body lice you may need to visit a doctor and receive an application or prescription of a pediculicide, usually permethrin. Using a pediculicide will directly kill any body lice that might be living on the surface of the skin.  Your doctor will be able to prescribe a pediculicide to you. Follow directions exactly when using a pediculicide. You will still need to thoroughly wash and clean any potentially infested clothes, towels, or bedding.

TL;DR in Russian:

Постирайте полотенца и постельное белье. Регулярно меняйте и стирайте одежду. Следите за личной гигиеной. Проконсультируйтесь с врачом в случае тяжелого заражения.


Body lice live in the seams of clothing and feed on human blood. They are larger than head lice and easy to spot on the body. They are commonly found in areas where people live in very close quarters or don't have access to bathing and washing facilities. Body lice are easy to get rid of once access to these facilities is gained. To treat body lice, do the following:  Throw out the infested clothing. Lice can live up to a month in clothes. Instead of trying to save them, throw them out. Wash new clothing with hot water, and dry at a high temperature. Take regular showers or baths and use soap. Regularly wash clothing, bedding, and other linens. Pediculicides are usually not necessary to get rid of body lice. Pubic lice, also known as crabs, is most commonly spread through sexual contact. They spread very easily from person to person. Pubic lice can also live in areas of the body with coarse hair, like the eyebrows, ears and armpits. The lice and their nits are easily visible. There are a few ways you can get rid of public lice:  Get an over-the-counter lotion containing 1% permethrin (such as Nix) or a mousse containing pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide (such as Rid or Pronto). These chemicals effectively kill the lice. Use according to the instructions on the package. Do not use them around your eyes, brows, or eyelashes. Remove the lice with a nit comb. Wash your clothes and underwear in very hot water. Soak combs and other items in hot water for 5 minutes. Shave the pubic region. Getting rid of the hair the lice cling to is effective, especially in combination with the chemical treatment. Monitor the area for signs of new lice. It may be necessary to undergo a second treatment. Inform any sexual partners from the previous month that they will need to be checked and treated. Only use lindane shampoo as a last resort. It's effective but studies have shown it has a negative effect on the brain. Canine lice cannot be transmitted to humans (nor human lice to canines), but they can make your dog very...

Body pillows tend to take up more space than neck pillows, even when they deflate. The more room you have in your suitcase and your seat, the more comfortable you will be with a body pillow. Body pillows range in size, but some may be as long and wide as your torso. Body pillows often work best when they are propped against your legs or shoulders. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid too much pressure or compression on your body when using the pillow. If you tend to run hot, dress light so the body pillow won’t cause you to overheat. Some body pillows inflate and deflate for easy storage. You may have to inflate the pillow by blowing into it, or it may self-inflate with the push of a button. Look on your pillow’s packaging or label for instructions on inflating it.  If you find that the pillow is too firm for comfort once inflated, you can deflate it slightly to create a softer surface. If you are not worried about space, you may prefer a body pillow that is not inflatable, such as one filled with foam or microbeads. Some body pillows, like the Travelrest, attach to your seatbelt, while others, like the FaceCradle, may connect to the seat behind or in front of you. Keep your most comfortable sleeping position in mind when you choose a style.  If your pillow attaches to the seatbelt, move it up to where you can comfortably lean your head against it. If the pillow attaches to the back of your seat, position it so that you can lead forward at a comfortable angle and rest your head against the pillow. Most body pillows are designed for leaning forward or to the side to let the pillow support your weight. Find a position that is comfortable for you and leaves your neck as straight as possible.  Your body pillow may have a J-shaped curve on each end. The larger curve will fit over your shoulder, and the smaller curve can be tucked under your opposite arm to help keep it in place. Some body pillows are designed to rest on your lap or tray table and support your upper body while you lean forward.

Body temperature can vary throughout the day, but a normal temperature is considered 98.6oF or 37oC. The recommendation in infants less than 4 months old is that if they have a rectal temperature of 100.4oF (38oC) or more, immediately call your physician for advice. For children of any age, if their rectal temperature is 104oF(40oC) or more, immediately call your physician for advice. Any child 6 months or older with a fever of  103oF(39.4oC) should also be seen. If your child has any fever along with any of the following symptoms, call your doctor (or emergency services) as soon as possible:  looks sick or has no appetite fussiness drowsiness obvious signs of infection (pus, discharge, streaky rashes) seizure sore throat, a rash, a headache, a stiff neck, an earache other rarer signs to watch and immediately seek medical attention for:  high-pitched cries or sounds like a seal barking difficulty breathing or has a bluish tinge around the mouth, fingers or toes swelling on the top of the baby’s head (the soft spot called the fontanelle) Limpness or lack of movement Call your physician for advice even if you are just seeing the signs of mild dehydration, especially in babies. These can become serious dehydration pretty quickly. Symptoms of mild dehydration include:  Dry, sticky mouth or crustiness around the lips/eyes in a baby More sleepiness, fussiness or tiredness than usual Thirst (Look for a “lip smacking” behavior or pursing of the lips to tell if infants are thirsty.) Decreased urine output Dry diapers (They should need to be changed because of wet diapers at least every three hours. If the diaper is dry after 3 hours, that may mean some dehydration. Keep pushing fluids and check after another hour. If the diaper is still dry, call your physician.) Dark urine Few or no tears when crying Dry skin (Gently pinch the back of the baby’s hand, just pinching the loose skin. Well-hydrated babies have skin that bounces right back.) Constipation Feeling dizzy or lightheaded If you see any of these, call emergency...

Body wraps can temporarily help you shed a pound or two of water weight, resulting in you looking slightly thinner for a short period of time. Note that the results are only temporary, though, and may only last a day or two.  Body wraps are commonly offered at spas. Do an online search for reputable, well-reviewed spas near you to see what’s available. Be sure to ask your spa about the ingredients in the body wrap before-hand. If you have any health conditions and/or are taking medications, consult with your doctor to ensure that none of the ingredients in the body wrap will cause problems for you.  If you have sensitive skin, you’re better off using a clay wrap than a wrap with fragrant oils. Fasting involves abstaining from some or all kinds of food and drink; it can help you temporarily lose a few pounds, but generally the weight will come back on once you start eating again. Fasting for a few days won’t hurt most healthy people, as long as they stay hydrated. Fasting for longer periods of time, however, is dangerous.  A water fast would be to only drink water for a set period of time — not eating or drinking anything else. Another type of fast is to only consume liquids — generally fresh fruit and vegetable juices, and broths. Yet another type of fast is to consume mostly liquids, with one light meal each day — usually comprising vegetables, whole grains, and maybe lean protein.  Don’t fast if you have diabetes; it can lead to dangerous drops and rises in blood sugar. You should also not fast if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you suffer from any chronic health conditions. If you’re unsure about whether you can safely fast, ask your doctor. Shapewear is a word for undergarments made from rigid yet flexible fabrics that are specifically designed to smooth out our trouble zones — flattening the stomach and love handles, pulling in the thighs, and lifting the bum.

Boil 1 cup of water, 6 tbsp. of butter, 1 tbsp. of granulated sugar, 1 tbsp. of brown sugar, and 1/8 tsp. of salt together in a saucepan. Stir the ingredients until they are thoroughly incorporated. The dough should form a ball. This will slightly thicken the ingredients. Add all four eggs to the ingredients, one at a time, waiting for one egg to be completely incorporated before adding the next egg to the mixture. When you're finished, the mixture should be nice and smooth. This will give the funnel cake the perfect thickness. Wait at least one minute for the oil to heat up. You can swirl the dough, criss cross it, or just create a free-form pattern. Make the funnel cake pattern about ten inches wide. You can repeat this process with the excess batter later. Cook the first side for 3-4 minutes until it's brown and then use a spatula to flip it over to the other side. Cook the other side until it's brown too -- this should take at least another minute. Use a spatula to move the dough onto a plate covered with a paper towel and wait at least one minute for the excess oil to drain onto the paper towel. Add as much sugar as you'd like. Enjoy this tasty extra sweet funnel cake while it's hot.

Boil a small pot of water on the stove. Turn off the heat and stand over the pot with a towel draped over your head, so that the steam coming from the water will be trapped around your face. Steam your face for five minutes or so, making sure to come up for air when you need to. Steaming helps to open your pores in preparation for a facial mask, which draws out impurities.  For a more luxurious experience, add some essential oils to the water. You'll get a steam and aromatherapy treatment in one. Try a few drops of lavender, lemongrass, rose, or grapefruit essential oil to lift your spirits. If you don't have essential oils, throw a few herbal tea bags into the water. Chamomile, chai and peppermint tea all have aromatic herbs. Next up is a facial mask, which will draw out impurities (like dirt and dead skin) from your pores. You can buy a facial mask product from the store, but it's easy and fun to make your own at home. Try one of the following masks:  For dry skin: mix 1 mashed banana and 1 tablespoon honey For medium skin: mix 1 tablespoon aloe and 1 tablespoon honey For oily skin: mix 1 teaspoon cosmetic clay and 1 teaspoon honey For any type of skin: use plain honey, which has antibacterial and moisturizing properties perfect for any skin type Smooth it over your skin, then wait for it to do its magic. In the meantime, why not give yourself an eye treatment? Lie back and place two cool cucumber slices over your closed eyes. If you don't have cucumbers, two chilled tea bags work just as well. Use warm water to remove all traces of the facial mask. Be sure to remove the honey from around your eyes and nose, since if you leave it in place it will feel quite sticky.

Boil a small pot of water. Pour the water into a ceramic cup. You can put the ball directly in the pot of water, but don't leave it in for more than a couple minutes. Ping pong balls can melt or burn when overheated. The water will heat up the air inside the ping pong ball. This causes the air to expand, popping the ball back into shape. To increase the heat and pressure, use a spoon to push the ball underneath the water. Hold it there for about 20 seconds, or until the ball is fixed. Use the spoon or a pair of kitchen tongs to take out the ball. The water will be too hot to touch with your bare hands. Wrap a tissue or handkerchief around the ball, taping all the edges together to form a little sack. Hang the sack from a nail or clothes hanger until the ball cools, about 5–10 minutes. The ball won't be quite as good as new, but it will be round and usable again. Leaving the ball to cool on a flat surface can cause it to slump and form a flat surface.

Boil at least 6 cups of hot water or several kettles full of water. Uncover the drain and slowly pour the hot water down. If you have plastic piping, just use very hot water. Avoid pouring boiling water in the drain. If the water is still draining slowly, repeat the process again until the drain becomes clear. If the clog still stubbornly resists draining, you may have a hairball stuck. This may require manually removing the clog. Consider calling a plumber, especially if the drain completely stops up. This works best on a clogged tub, since you can fill the tub with gallons of water. Fill the tub with hot water. Then,  open the drain and let the pressure of all that water help break up the clog.

Boil one cup of cayenne pepper and 3-5 chopped habanero chilis with water in a pot and let it cool. Transfer it into a spray bottle. Spray the entry points you've identified. Because raccoons follow their noses, this spray will make their nesting area unbearable. Use goggles and a respirator before spraying in enclosed areas. Although hot peppers are technically non-toxic, they can irritate mucous membranes in your eyes and mouth. Raccoons can easily scale wood or metal fences. They also use nearby tree limbs or shrubs to help them over fences. Run electrified wires at the top and bottom of your fence to deter intrusions. Prune tree limbs near fences. If you decide to replace your fence, make sure the mesh is no wider than 3 inches (7.6 cm). This will prevent young raccoons from entering your yard.

Boil the water on the stove for a minute or two or until it is steaming vigorously. Then remove the pot from the heat.  Place the hot pot on a heat resistant mat on a table. Keep any children away from the pot while it is boiling and while it is steaming. Try to do a steaming treatment when there aren't any children around. Drape a large, clean cotton towel over your head and then place your head over the steaming pot. Close your eyes and keep your face at least 12 inches away from the water.  You want the heat to enter your nose and throat, but you certainly don’t want to damage or burn yourself. Inhale through your nose and out through your mouth for five counts. Then reduce the inhales and exhales to two counts.  Repeat for 10 minutes or for as long as the water is still steaming. Try to blow your nose during and after the treatment. You can give yourself a steam every two hours or as often as your schedule permits. If you're busy and not able to boil a pot of water and sit over it, consider placing your face over the steam coming from a hot tea or bowl of soup when you're at work or out and about. The goal and effect is still the same, even if the source of steam is different! A humidifier can also be utilized for this method of relieving the sinuses.

Boil the water on the stove for a minute or two or until it is steaming vigorously. Then remove the pot from the heat. Start with 1 drop/quart of water. The following essential oils have either antibacterial, antifungal or antiseptic properties, meaning they can kill bacteria and other microorganisms that can infect the sinuses:   Spearmint or peppermint - Both peppermint and spearmint contain menthol which has antiseptic and immune-boosting properties.   Thyme, sage, and oregano - These herbs boost the immune system and have antibacterial properties.  They also increase circulation of the blood by opening up blood vessels.   Lavender - Lavender is known as a soothing herb that also has antibacterial properties. It will help you feel calm and relaxed and can relieve anxiety and depression.   Black walnut oil - If you know you have a fungal sinus infection, add black walnut oil, which has antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties.   Tea tree oil - Tea tree oil has antiviral, antifungal, and antiseptic properties and has provided relief to some people suffering from sinus infections. If you don’t have the above essential oils on hand, you can substitute ½ teaspoon of dried herb per quart of water. Once you add the herbs, boil for another minute, turn off the heat and move the pot to a comfortable area and begin steaming. Each time you try a new herb, give yourself a test to make sure that you don't have any adverse reaction, such as sneezing or skin irritation. Make the concoction and steam your face with the new herb for about a minute. Then, take your face away from the steam for 10 minutes and wait. If you don't notice any irritation or other reaction, reheat the water and do the full steam treatment.

Налейте в кастрюлю 250 мл воды. Добавьте 1-2 капли эфирного масла. Воспользуйтесь сушеными травами. Всегда проверяйте травы на возникновение ответной реакции.


Boil water in a tea kettle until steam begins to shoot through the spout. The steam is what you'll use to loosen the glue in the envelope you want to open. Keep in mind that the steam method can get a little messy and potentially warp the paper, so if it's imperative that the envelope looks fresh and new, you might want to just use a new envelope instead.  If the steam is coming out in a strong, steady stream, stick a spoon in the spout to diffuse it. That way it won't be as likely to warp the paper with a thick stream of moist heat. If you don't have a tea kettle, simply boil a small pot of water until it produces steam. Steam is hot, so you'll probably want to use a pair of tongs or an oven mitt to hold the seal of the envelope under the steam so your hand doesn't get burned. Hold the envelope there for about 20 seconds to give the steam time to loosen the glue.  If your envelope is a long business-sized envelope, run the entire thing over the stream of steam to make sure each portion of the glue gets loosened. Don't hold the envelope in the steam for more than 20 seconds, or the paper will begin to warp. Lay the envelope on a table and carefully run an envelope opener under the flap to loosen it. Open the flap so that you can remove the contents of the envelope. You want to open the envelope slowly enough that you don't accidentally rip it, but quickly enough that the glue doesn't begin to reseal. If the flap doesn't seem to be giving, and it tears slightly instead of easily lifting, place it back under the steam so you don't end up ripping it. After you've finished removing and replacing the contents of the envelope, let the envelope get completely dry before you seal it back up. In order to prevent wrinkling, lay a sheet of waxed paper over the envelope and put a heavy book on top. Pressing the envelope flat while it dries will keep it looking fresh. You could also iron the envelope flat to prevent it from wrinkling. If you choose to do this, be sure not to leave the iron on the paper for more than a few...

Boiled sweet potatoes can be used on their own as a side dish. You simply need to cut them into cubes. Then, toss them in some butter, salt, and pepper until you get your desired taste. You can also cut your sweet potatoes into cubes and add them to other dishes. Boiled sweet potatoes can be used in salads, tacos, soups, stews, pastas, and casseroles. If you're looking to add nutrients to a meal, throw in some boiled sweet potatoes. It's best to peel sweet potatoes first if you're going to mash them. Boil about six sweet potatoes and then use an electronic mixer to add in other ingredients.  While mixing the sweet potatoes, add in 3/4 a cup of milk, adding it about half a cup at a time. You should also add half a cup of butter and 3/4 of a cup of maple syrup.

Boiling or cooking a live seashell will loosen up any animal tissues inside the shell and make it easier to remove. You will need a pot and tweezers or some tool like a dental instrument to remove the animal tissue. To clean live shells by boiling:  Place the seashells in a large pot of room temperature water. Cover the shells with about 2 inches (5 cm) of extra water. It's important to use room temperature water and to put the shells in the pot before heating them up because any sudden heat could crack the shells. Bring the water to a boil. Let the water roll for about 5 minutes. If you are boiling more than one shell, add extra boiling time. As well, larger shells might require more boiling time. Take out the shells with tongs and place them gently on a soft surface like a hot towel. Carefully, with your tweezers or any other tool, pull out any animal tissue from inside the shells and dispose of it. This method of cleaning out a live shell can take the longest, but many choose to use this method to prevent the shell from being damaged. Boiling and freezing, as well as pulling out animal tissue by hand, can cause a shell to crack. Burying a live shell, provided you bury it in a safe place, protects it from damage and is a natural way to clean out animal tissues. Ants, bugs, and other insects will feed on the shell and clean it out. To clean live shells by burying them:  Dig a hole in the ground. Make sure the hole is large enough to fit all your shells and also provide plenty of space between each shell. The hole should also be around 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) deep to prevent unwanted animals from digging up your seashells or people from stepping on top and crushing your shells. Place your shells evenly with space between them in the hole. Cover the shells with dirt. Wait a few months for insects, larvae, worms, and bacteria to remove the tissue inside the shell. The longer you wait, the better the results.  Dig up the shells again and check to see if all signs of animal tissue are gone. Freezing kills...

Boiling water with a microwave is remarkably easy. To start, pour the water into a container made of the microwave-safe materials listed above. Make sure the container is not sealed shut. A buildup of hot steam can cause a harmful explosion. Next, put a non-metallic object such as a wooden spoon, a chopstick, or a popsicle stick in the water. This prevents a dangerous problem called "super-heating" by giving the water something to form bubbles on.  Super-heating occurs when water in the microwave heats water past its boiling point and the water is unable to form bubbles because there are no nucleation sites (essentially rough spots for the bubbles to form on). As soon as the water is disturbed or a nucleation site is introduced, the built-up superheated water forms steam very quickly, causing a small explosion of boiling water.  If you don't have any non-metallic objects to put in your water, use a container that has a scratch or chip on the interior surface. This will act as a nucleation site to help the water bubble.

Boils are bump-like manifestations on the skin. When it is advanced, a boil can disappear on its own or increase in size. When they increase in size they become abscesses and are of significant concern, both medically and cosmetically. If it increases in size, it will eventually form a head, which means that underneath the top surface, the skin becomes filled with pus. It can break open, draining and oozing pus, which is a mixture of blood cells, bacteria and fluids. The symptoms include:  A firm, typically red bump on the skin Tenderness at the sight of the bump, which is sometimes extreme Swelling When you notice the symptoms of a boil, you may need to figure out which boil you have. A boil is a common form of a medical condition called an abscess which is a collection of pus underneath the dermis (the layer of skin under the epidermis). There are a number of different types of boils that may appear. These include:  Furuncles, which occur in hair follicles. They are associated with a fever and chills and can become chronic. Carbuncles, which are generally larger than furuncles and can also become chronic. They can also form hardened lumps under the skin. Cystic acne, which is both a type of acne and a type of boil associated with more severe forms of acne. Hidradenitis suppurativa, which is an inflammatory condition of the sweat glands. It occurs when there are multiple boils cropping up under the arms and along the groin area. It is also resistant to antibiotics and may require surgery to remove the affected sweat glands. Pilonidal cysts, which result from inflamed hair follicles at the top of the buttock crease. Pilonidal cysts are uncommon, can occur after long periods of sitting, and occurs more in men than women. There are multiple things that can cause boils. They are the result of an infection from the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus most commonly, though other fungi and bacteria can be found in the boils. Boils can be found anywhere on the body; however, they are most commonly found on the face,...

Bold and sexy are close cousins. You can't be sexy if you're afraid try do anything wild or out of your comfort zone. To be sexy with your boyfriend, you can try being bold in the following ways:  If you're talking to him on the phone, surprise him with casual dirty talk. He'll be surprised--and turned on--by your sudden sexy mood. Take risks. Try an adventurous food, go sky diving, or go mountain climbing. This will make you a more open--and more sexy--person. Be open about what you want. If you're really in the mood for something, telling him what you crave. He'll respect you for sharing your true feelings and will be turned on in the process.  Be bold, but know when to strike. Surprising your boyfriend with something sexy is a plus, but trying to get it on when he has a bad cold or just isn't in the mood is a big no no. Before you go in for the kill, ask yourself if your boyfriend is really in the mood for what you have to offer. Some of the most sexy times you have with your boyfriend will be totally unplanned. Leave room for sexiness any time in your life, even if you're just having an ordinary dinner or watching a television show. Here are some ways to be spontaneously sexy:  If you're feeling sexy, take the initiative. Even if you're not in the middle of a sexy activity, let your man know by kissing or touching him in a subtle way. And if subtlety fails, try for some dirty talk to let him know what's on the table. He'll be more than just pleasantly surprised. When he comes home from work, turn off all the lights, pull the shades, and lay naked on his desk. When he turns the lights on he will get a real surprise. However, do not do this unless you plan on further sexual activities. A guy is not going to be surprised by a naked girlfriend on his desk and then just walk away to read the newspaper. Surprise him in public.

Bombay cats are fairly talkative, and they will hold conversations with you. They aren't loud, per se, they just like to talk often. They have a distinctive meow, so you will know when your cat wants your attention. However, not every Bombay cat will show this characteristic. Bombays are pretty smart cats, so watch to see if the cat is able to figure things out. For instance, this might be the cat that will figure out how to open your bedroom door or get the treats that you've hidden on a high shelf. These cats love to be engaged in games of fetch, puzzle games, and other types of fun cat toys. Of course, all cats are naturally curious and inquisitive. However, Bombays are even more so. They will always want to be in the middle of the action, so they can see what's going on. These cats are fairly laid back when it comes to social situations. They do well around families and pets, though they may want to be the dominant pet in the household, particularly if there are other cats. They also enjoy curling up on your lap for some snuggle time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на шум. Обратите внимание на интеллект кошки. Обратите внимание на любознательность кошки. Проверьте, является ли кошка добродушной и дружелюбной.


Bond energy is defined by the sum of all of the bonds broken minus the sum of all of the bonds formed: ΔH = ∑H(bonds broken) - ∑H(bonds formed). ΔH is the change in bond energy, also referred to as the bond enthalpy and ∑H is the sum of the bond energies for each side of the equation.  This equation is a form of Hess’s Law. The unit for bond energy is kilojoules per mol or kJ/mol. When given a reaction equation simply written with chemical symbols and numbers, it is helpful to draw this equation out, illustrating all of the bonds formed between the various elements and molecules. This visual representation will allow you to easily count all of the bonds that break and form on the reactant and product sides of the equation.  Remember, the left side of the equation is all of the reactants and the right side is all of the products. Single, double, and triple bonds have different bond energies, so be sure to draw your diagram with the correct bonds between elements.  For example, if you were to draw out the following equation for a reaction between 2 hydrogen and 2 bromine: H2(g) + Br2(g) ---> 2 HBr(g), you would get: H-H + Br-Br ---> 2 H-Br. The hyphens represent single bonds between the elements in the reactants and the products. In most cases, the bond energies you will be using for these calculations will be averages. The same bond can have a slightly different bond energy based on the molecule it is formed in; therefore, average bond energies are generally used..  A single, double, and triple bond are all treated as 1 break. They all have different bond energies, but count as only a single break. The same is true for the formation of a single, double, or triple bond. It will be counted as single formation. For our example, all of the bonds are single bonds. The left side contains the reactants. These will represent all of the broken bonds in the equation. This is an endothermic process that requires the absorption of energy to break the bonds. For our example, the left side has 1 H-H bond and 1 Br-Br bond....

Bonds are unlike stocks in that they represent debt the company owes rather than an ownership position. The interest rate the bond pays out over its life is already established at the time the bond is issued. The trading price of a bond does change during the holding period, but these changes are based on whether the interest rate provided in the bond payout is greater or less than the general market rate. You can read the bond issue price, par value, and interest rate before purchasing, to determine whether it is a worthwhile investment.  It is possible to buy a bond for one price and then sell it before maturity for more. Most investors make money by collecting the bond’s interest payments every six months, and reinvesting the par value of the bond upon pay out. When interest rates go down, existing bond values rise. When interest rates rise, existing bond values go down. It is possible that, with significant shifts in interest rates, the value of your bond can change significantly. Mutual funds are pools of managed securities that you can purchase a share in.For example, a bank such as chase may invest $1,000,000 in a fund that includes many different stocks, bonds, and other securities. Then the bank sells shares of this fund to individual investors. By purchasing a share of a mutual fund, you automatically diversify your portfolio, because one share of a mutual fund is an investment in many different securities.    Mutual funds are generally not trading vehicles, however, as they are managed by an investment advisor. Some mutual funds are classified by the sector of the market they invest in most heavily, such as technology, transportation, or retail. However, you can also purchase mutual funds that are intentionally diversified with multiple market sectors, to diversify and create the most secure investment. Use your investment strategy to inform what kind of mutual fund is best for you. Get a copy of the mutual fund prospectus and review the objectives, risks, fees, and expenses involved.

Bonsai trees, like all trees and plants, react to the change in seasons. If you're keeping a bonsai tree outside, it will have an even stronger reaction to the change in temperature, sunlight, and the amount of rainfall in the region. In some regions there are four distinct seasons, and in others the seasonal changes are more subtle. In any case, understand the way your tree species reacts to the seasons in your region, and let that information guide the way you care for it.  Trees lay dormant during the winter; they aren't producing leaves or growing, so they don't use as much nutrition. During this season, watering the tree is about the only care it needs. Avoid trimming it too much, since it won't be able to replace the depleted nutrients until spring. In spring, trees begin using the nutrients they stored during the winter to sprout new leaves and grow. Since your tree is in transition during this time of year, it's a good time to repot the plant (adding extra nutrients to the soil) and begin trimming. Trees continue to grow during the summer, using up the rest of their stored nutrients. Be sure to water yours well during this period of time. In the fall, tree growth slows, and the nutrients begin accumulating again. This is a good time for both trimming and repotting. Your bonsai tree's light needs depends on the species and your climate, but most will thrive in a location that receives morning sun. Turn the tree 90 degrees every few days so all of the tree foliage can receive an equal amount of light. Indoor trees may need a light shade cloth over the window during hot, bright summer months. During the summer, it's fine for the tree to spend the majority of time outside. Bring it inside overnight when temperatures dip below about 40 °F (4 °C). In preparation for the winter, get your tree acclimated to spending more time indoors by moving it inside for a few hours at a time, and increasing the time it spends indoors every day until you bring it inside entirely. Fertilize the tree with a special...

Book an appointment for a professional cleaning with your dentist, every six months.  This will help to keep your teeth in tip-top condition, preventing tooth decay and gum disease in addition to making your teeth nice and white. Your dentist can also perform an in-office bleaching treatment which is similar to the whitening trays you use at home, except the bleaching solution is much stronger. Another very effective option is to get a laser whitening treatment. These can be expensive, but are quick and will produce very effective results.  A bleaching gel is applied to your teeth, then a rubber shield is placed over your gums. A laser or white light is then directed towards your teeth, activating the bleaching gel. Depending on how white you want your teeth, you may need to return for several sessions. However, each session only lasts about 30 minutes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте профессиональную чистку зубов. Вы можете сделать лазерную процедуру.


Books are enjoyable, but actively reading takes a bit more motivation than watching TV or playing video games. Some people find it helpfully motivating to set goals for themselves. For instance, if you're not reading as much as you'd like, you can write something down along the lines of "I will read three books this month."  Make sure the goal is realistic, and account for the fact that some books will take you much longer to read than others. Goodreads has an annual reading goal feature free for use by all accounts. If you sign up with an account, you can set a chosen book goal at the start of the year and see how you've done by the end of it. Some book journal keepers prefer to wait until the end of a book to make their entry. Others find it enriches the experience of reading to be actively writing down notes as you go along. If you have a note journal at your side while you're reading, it may motivate you to have a stronger attention to detail. This is a very important part detail if you've been out of school for a while and find you've been losing your touch as a critical reader in the time since. A longer-form journal entry can feel like a bit of a chore before you get into it. Some journal keepers make the mistake of procrastinating their entries until days or weeks after they've read the book. This defeats the purpose of keeping a book journal. You want your reflections to be as fresh as possible. Otherwise, you're not writing about the book itself so much as your memory of the book. A book journal is a long-term commitment. Although you're encouraged to bring it along with you when you go on trips, accidentally losing your book journal could feel catastrophic depending on how much time and work you've invested in it. Make a habit of storing it in the same place when you're between books. Even if you don't publish your entries on a public blog, recording a second copy of your entries can be insurance against losing them permanently. If you're keeping track of your reading with a physical journal, you...

Boosting your protein intake can help to promote healthy hair growth and prevent any hair shedding or hair loss due to diet. Your diet should have a balance of meat, fish, beans, nuts, and whole grains. If you do not eat meat, make sure you get enough protein through soy based foods, as well as beans, nuts, and grains. The key to an effective high protein diet is to choose your protein sources wisely. Cut out processed meats or full fat dairy products, as these are not healthy sources of protein. Include a high amount of healthy carbs in your diet, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Certain multivitamins and supplements, such as Biotin and Viviscal, are known to promote hair growth. These products contain vitamin C and vitamin B, which are key vitamins for hair growth.  Talk to your doctor before you take any supplements to check that you are taking the proper dosage and that the supplements will not conflict with any medications you are currently on. Vitamins like biotin can work differently on people, and some people even experience side effects. Pulling your hair out when you’re stressed isn’t just a turn of phrase; stress can affect your cortisol levels and lead to reduced hair growth. Lower your cortisol levels by doing stress relieving activities like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises. This will lead to a more peaceful life and a fuller, longer head of hair.

Заполните свой рацион продуктами с высоким содержанием белка. Внедрите в свой рацион добавки, стимулирующие рост волос. Снимайте стресс с помощью йоги и медитации.


Boot or reboot the computer. When the computer reboots, you will need to press the Setup key in order to enter your BIOS to change the boot order. This will allow you to boot from the USB drive instead of your hard drive.  The Setup key must be pressed when the manufacturer’s logo is displayed on the screen. This is typically a very short window of time, so if you miss it you will have to reboot and try again. The key varies from computer to computer, but will be displayed on the screen when you can press it. Typical keys include F2, F10, and Del. While each BIOS layout is different, they will all typically have a Boot menu, though it may be worded slightly different. This menu will display the order in which the computer will look for a bootable operating system. Typically, computers are set to boot from the hard drive first so that the installed operating system loads automatically. Once you have found the Boot menu, you will need to switch the order so that your USB drive is listed at the top. Again, this will vary from computer to computer. Some BIOS setups will list the USB drive by its name, while others will simply say “Removable Device” or “USB”. You will typically use the “+” and “-” keys on your keyboard to swap around the boot order. Once you have changed the boot order, save your changes and exit the BIOS. The key for this is typically F10. The computer will reboot, this time booting from the USB drive first.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вставьте USB накопитель в компьютер, на который вы хотите установить Windows. Перейдите в меню загрузки. Измените порядок загрузки. Сохраните изменения и выйдите из BIOS.

Bootable antiviruses are anti-malware applications that can be installed and run on an external storage like a flash drive or a CD.  Assuming that the ransomware has already blocked your access to your own computer, you may need to download and install the bootable antivirus on a different PC.  Windows Defender Offline is a popular option on Windows for many reasons:  it is by the same manufacturer of the operating system, it comes preinstalled on all Windows 8/8.1/10 devices, and is easy to run. Connect the external media where you want to install the antivirus and click the downloaded file, the antivirus will start installing itself on your preferred external media.  Depending on the application you downloaded, you can install the bootable antivirus on a CD or a flash drive, but it’s advisable that you use the latter for easier access because not all PCs have disc drive (like netbooks). Download the antivirus onto a computer that does not have the virus. Once the antivirus has been successfully installed, safely unplug the flash drive from the USB port or remove the CD from the disc drive.

Borax is a cleaning chemical that is poisonous to ants, but non-toxic to humans. To try and kill the ants at their source, make a Borax bait that the ants will flock to, and bring back to their nest. Mix one part corn syrup (or any sweet, sticky substance) with one part Borax, and spread the mixture on an index card. Place the index card in an area where you have witnessed a lot of ant activity. The ants will bring this sweet, poisonous mixture back to their colony, and it will slowly eliminate the ants.  Consider setting this bait at night, because ants tend to hunt for food during the night hours.  You could also make a poison mixture with Borax and powdered sugar. Mix together 1 part Borax with 3 parts of powdered sugar. Fill small containers with this mixture (bottle caps, spoons, etc.), and place these containers around areas where ants may be entering your house. If you have pets or children who could get into this powdered Borax mix, consider mixing 1 cup of warm with ½ cup of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of Borax. Soak cotton balls in this mixture, and set the cotton balls out in shallow dishes near known ant entry points. Commercial bait traps eliminate ants much the same way as Borax traps, but they tend to work a bit faster (although they are still slow-acting), and can be more targeted to specific food preferences of your invading ant. For example, there are ant baits that are sugar based, grease based, and protein based depending on what kind of ant you are dealing with.  When in doubt for what kind of ant bait to use, consider getting one of each.  If you find that the ants are not taking the bait, you may have to change the type of bait you are using, or relocate the bait to a more active area.  When using bait, all other food competition must be removed from the area. This food competition could inhibit the effectiveness of the bait. When the ants start feeding on the bait, leave them alone to feast and bring it back to their colony. After some time, you should see a reduced number of ants. If you...

Border Collies (also known as BCs) exceed almost every other dog breed in intelligence and energy, and are only good matches for responsible, dedicated, informed, and experienced dog owners. Never buy a Border Collie because of their cute appearance, or because your friend has a really nice one. And always dedicate a large amount of research time before purchasing or adopting a Collie. Border Collies are high energy and require a lot of exercise and room to roam freely. They don’t do well in apartments or confined spaces. They really need a large yard or some land to roam around. Responsible breeders are the best source for those who desire a show or competition dog; however, if you are interested simply in a quality pet, consider adopting from a specialized breed rescue. This will allow you to give a home to a dog in need while still getting the breed that you want.  You can sometimes buy a Border Collie from a pet store. But this is not really recommended, as you will generally have no idea of the puppy's health, breeding, or history, and will most likely be supporting a puppy mill. You could also consider buying from a "backyard," or casual, breeder. This is also unadvised for the lack of information you will receive about the dog. Consider adopting from a shelter. This is a preferred route for those wishing to help dogs in need. But this is often unadvised due to the lack of information and because shelters are often unable to provide for the Border Collies’ special needs, resulting in a badly behaved dog. Adopting from a breed-specific rescue, however, is a reasonable and kind way to acquire your dog. Once you have found some Border Collies, go meet them and see if you like any of them. Remember that this is a big decision and you shouldn’t make it lightly.  Never adopt a dog sight unseen, no matter how cute it may seem in pictures. You need to interact with the dog in person and make sure there is a connection between you two. You also need to make sure the dog seems healthy. Consider bringing your...

Border collies and other herding breeds can be trained to scare geese away from an area. The geese will perceive the dog as a predator and may be convinced to leave the area for good.  Only dogs that have been specially trained by a handler should be used to scare geese away.  Do not let the dogs catch or harm the geese. If not specially trained, the dogs may cause the geese to re-locate to the water, where the dog will not pose a real threat.  If the geese are nesting or raising young, do not attempt to scare them away with a dog. There are several products on the market solely for the purpose of scaring geese, such as fake alligator heads or a plastic dead goose. Geese will eventually get used to these devices, but they may buy you some time to plan a more permanent solution.  Cutouts of dogs or coyotes may work better in an area where geese have already learned to fear these animals.  Keep cutouts moving by placing them on a swivel. The wind will cause them to appear more lifelike to the geese. Move the cutouts around your property to maximize the effect. Sonic repellents can be effective at moving geese away from an area, but only for a short period of time. Most sonic repellents come equipped with a timer and make use of a recorded goose "alarm" call. When the geese hear the alarm, they flee. Like decoys, sonic repellents may only work as a temporary solution. Geese can get used to loud noises rather quickly. Sonic repellents are much more effective if the geese associate the noise with a mobile threat, such as a dog or a person.

Border collies are herding dogs, but they are also chasing dogs. Therefore, games and sports like catching discs are perfect for border collies. In fact, disc catching and throwing is not just a backyard sport, as you can compete with your dogs in local and national competitions. If your border collie associates the disc with food, he'll think it's okay to hold it in its mouth. Try providing dinner in the disc for several nights in a row. Shake the disc back and forth in play. Your border collie will likely latch on to it and want to play. First let him play with the disc, saying "good boy!" Then tell him to "drop it." Try to pull it back from him. Don't let him play tug-of-war. If he doesn't want to give it up, just stop talking and praising. In fact, ignore him completely. Because he wants your attention, he'll likely drop it. Praise when he does. Continue working on the "drop it" cue. Your pup will naturally chase after the disc if you roll it away from you. Ask him to come back, and tell him to "drop it." He'll soon catch on that this game is fun, and he'll play along. When throwing, toss it away from your border collie. He will chase it down or even catch it in the air. You don't want to toss it directly at your border collie, as you could hit him and it takes some of the fun out of chasing it down. Let him play with it if he catches it, but go grab it yourself if he doesn't, as your teaching him to catch it and playing with the disc is a reward. Once your border collie catches the disc, call him back to you, and tell him to drop it for you. For instance, one event in disc events for dogs is throwing and catching at various distances. You'll need to practice your throws, and you'll need to teach your dog to catch at these various distances. Generally, in these events, you gradually increase your distance in a timed period.

Boric acid is corrosive and can cause skin or respiratory irritation. Find a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors, and spread out a drop cloth over anything that could become damaged by the acid. If you need to clean the brick indoors, choose a spot near open doors or windows. While handling boric acid, make sure to cover your eyes and any skin that will directly handle the cleaning agents. Wear goggles to protect your eyes and rubber gloves to protect your hands and forearms.  Wear long-sleeved clothes, if possible, to protect as much of your skin as possible. If you have long hair, pull it back tightly in a bun or ponytail while cleaning with acid.

Boric acid is one of the most common and effective ways to dispatch of termites. In fact, it is the main insecticide used in many store-bought termite insecticides. Boric acid shuts down the termite's nervous system while dehydrating it. The best way to kill termites with boric acid is to use bait stations.  Coat or spray wood (or another cellulose material) evenly with boric acid. Plant the boric acid bait in the garden near your house or in an open infestation. Check on the bait station regularly and replenish it with boric acid as needed. You should see the termite carcasses nearby. Readily available at your local hardware supply store, using termite-control products is the first step you need to take to get rid of these harmful pests. You can use termite-baiting control methods or a liquid termite-killing product. Lay the bait near infested areas and spray the termite control product on those same areas. Because heat will kill termites, you can have your home heated to a high temperature to kill them. This must be done by a professional though, as the tools required aren’t available for anyone to purchase/use. Call your local bug infestation control company, and see if this is an option for your home. If you decide that your infestation is simply too big, or the house is simply too important not to get it right the first time, you should probably call a professional extermination service. When you call professional exterminators, be sure that you:  Get at least three different quotes from competing firms. Look at the service record of the firm from the Structural Pest Control Board before you decide on employing them. Get a written agreement from the firm you are using insisting on complete termite extinction for two years. This may require the firm to come back periodically, check for new infestations, and clear them away — at no cost to you. In most states you can legally purchase the same products used by the professionals when you are using them for personal use only. Two top of the line products are...

Both "gray" and "grey" were derived from the original Old English term referring to the same color: grǣg  Both spellings date back hundreds of years, so there's really no way to distinguish which is right and which is wrong. It's worth noting that "grey" was more popular during the early 1700s in all English dialects, but by 1825, American English had primarily switched to "gray." As time passed, both versions became widely known, but the preference between British and American English still remains. Periodically, individuals, organizations, and others will refer to "gray" and "grey" as two slightly different colors, but such variations are purely a matter of preference rather than fact.  Both spellings primarily refer to the exact same neutral hue that exists between black and white on the color spectrum. Similarly, both spellings can also be used to refer to something that is dull or gloomy. While there is no actual difference in color, there have been claims of such differences throughout the centuries. For example, the English chemist George Field attempted to differentiate the two in 1835 by claiming that "gray" referred to a cool or blue-tone shade, while "grey" referred to a strictly neutral one. His definition did not catch on in popular opinion, however, and is no longer observed. If you can't remember when to use "gray" versus "grey," consider the following trick:  Match the a in "gray" to the a at the start of "America," and the e and "grey" to the e at the start of "England." That should help you remember that "gray" is common in American English while "grey" is used in British English. Keep in mind, however, that England is not the only country that uses "grey." Any country that uses British English will spell the word with an e, including all members of the United Kingdom. English dialects closer to British English (e.g. Canadian English and Australian English) also use the "grey" spelling. Even though the most widely used spelling varies by location, you don't have to worry if you accidentally...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выучите термин из древнеанглийского (англосаксонского) языка, который был распространен на территории нынешней Англии в V—XII вв. Поймите, что разница в цвете — субъективна. Запомните разницу при помощи мнемоники. Не переживайте слишком сильно.


Both I and me are pronouns that we use to refer to ourselves, but I is nominative, suitable for use as the subject of a sentence or clause, and me is accusative, suitable for use as the object of a verb.   Nominative – The nominative case is used when the pronoun is the subject (e.g. "I rode in the car") or, when speaking very formally, after a form of "to be" (e.g. "It is I," would be formal, "It's me" would be informal).   Accusative – The accusative case is used when the pronoun is the object (e.g. "He drove me to work") or with prepositions (e.g. "between you and me," not "between you and I"). Most native speakers rarely make case errors with these pronouns, except when they are paired with other nouns as part of a compound subject or object. (Unfortunately, problems with pronoun case are more common today than twenty years ago.)  Although almost no one would say, "Harry took I in his car," one often hears sentences such as "Harry took Jordan and I in his car." If you're trying to determine which pronoun to use in a sentence with a compound subject, try the sentence using only the pronoun part of the subject. Whichever pronoun, I or me, sounds right alone is the one to use in the compound subject It can be hard to tell whether to use "I" or "me" in a long, complicated sentence with more than one subject or object. For example, "Me, Hector, and Sam went to the store" doesn't sound to most people all that much better or worse than "Hector, Sam, and I went to the store."  Mentally delete all other subjects or objects so that the sentence is reduced to its simplest form, with just "I" or "me" remaining. In this example, you would be left with "Me went to the store" and "I went to the store." Now, it's much easier to see that "I" is correct. "  In Superman comics, there's an imperfect version of Superman called Bizarro, and he does everything in a backward sort of way.  He says, "Goodbye" when he means, "Hello," and he says things such as "Me am so sad to see you" (meaning "I'm glad to see you").  Bizarro, and...

Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 have file history backup utilities. These need to have been enabled in order to use them to recover older versions of files. See this guide for detailed information on using File History for Windows 8. You will need to configure Time Machine to store your backups on an external hard drive beforehand, but you will then have access to all the different versions of that file over time. See this guide for detailed information on using Time Machine.

Both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) will help bring down your fever. Even bringing your fever down a degree or two will help make you feel a bit better. These medications are also pain relievers, which can help with pain related to sore throat and muscle ache from the cold or flu. Always use acetaminophen or ibuprofen in children. Aspirin can lead to a life-threatening condition called Reye’s syndrome. If your cold or flu includes congestion, then you can also take an OTC decongestant to help. Many OTC fever reducers have cold and flu variants that include additional medicine for cough and congestion. Take as directed and do not combine medicines or take any medicine longer than directed. If you prefer to stay away from a medication, you can also try saline drops and sprays, which are also a better option for young children since they’re just salt water. Always use as directed. An easy, safe way to help soothe a sore throat from a cold or flu is to gargle with warm salt water. Dissolve half a teaspoon in 8 ounces of warm water, hold a small amount of the solution at the back of your throat and gargle for thirty seconds. This is safe to repeat as needed. Never swallow the solution since drinking salt water isn’t safe. If using this method with a child, make sure he or she can gargle without choking as well. Drinking plenty of water helps for several reasons. Plenty of liquids will help thin the congestion-causing mucus, moisten and soothe your sore throat, and prevent dehydration if your flu symptoms include vomiting.  If you have a “stomach flu” that includes vomiting and diarrhea, stick to water and sports drinks (such as Gatorade) to help replace lost electrolytes. For young children, use specific fluid and electrolyte replacement options (such as Pedialyte) instead of sports drinks.  For a cold, you can also drink juice and clear broth in addition to the above options.  Men should aim for 13 cups of water each day, whereas women should aim to drink nine. You should avoid both...

Both acute and chronic renal failure are often preceded by certain medical conditions. If you know you have any of the following conditions, be especially wary of any kidney failure-like symptoms you may develop and promptly consult with your doctor for further guidance:  Myocardial infarction, or heart attack. Blockages of the urinary tract. Rhabdomyolysis, or kidney damage due to muscle breakdown. Hemolytic uremic syndrome, or the obstruction to the small vessels inside the kidney. If you notice symptoms attributed to renal failure and you have one of the following conditions, consult with your doctor for further guidance. Conditions which can lead to chronic renal failure include:  Poorly controlled diabetes. Longstanding hypertension, or high blood pressure. Chronic glomerulonephritis, or the inflammation of tiny filters in the kidney.  Certain genetic diseases like polycystic kidney disease, Alport’s syndrome, or Systemic Lupus. Kidney stones. Reflux nephropathy, or the backwards flow of urine back into the kidneys. A diagnosis of renal failure, chronic or acute, often takes the form of blood tests, imaging tests, urine output measurements, urine tests, or a kidney biopsy.

Both adult carpet beetles and larvae can infest your home, but the larvae do the most damage by eating organic materials like wool, leather, and silk. To know where to focus the brunt of your cleaning, first look for the primary source of the infestation, which will be the area with the most signs of damage and beetles. Check dark, secluded areas like basements and under carpets and rugs for signs such as:  Brown, bristly, shell-like shed skins from the larvae Brown fecal pellets, about the size of a grain of salt Adult beetles, which are oval-shaped, can come in a range of colors and are just larger than the head of a pin. They can fly and typically live outside, but will lay eggs indoors in dark, secluded areas. Larvae, which are slightly longer than adults, often with tufts of hair, although some varieties can be shiny and smooth. They can be brown, red, white, or striped. A thorough vacuuming is the best and quickest way to remove carpet beetles and larvae from your carpeting. Focus on the source and the most infested areas, but vacuum your whole home to make sure you remove all beetles. Throw away the bag right away after you finish vacuuming.  Continue vacuuming your home at least once a day for a week. Depending on how bad the infestation is, you may need to vacuum multiple times a day for the first few days. Vacuum any upholstered furniture or fabric-covered areas that can’t be put in the washing machine. Check the labels on your rugs to see how they should be cleaned, and hire a steam cleaner if necessary. If some pieces of clothing or fabric have been badly eaten away, toss them into an outdoor trash can. Keeping infested garments makes it more difficult to stop the infestation. Toss out the clothing even if you don’t see any carpet beetles or larvae left on the material. Put all your clothing, towels, blankets, linens, and other fabrics in the washing machine and wash them on a hot cycle with detergent. Carpet beetles, larvae, and eggs are very resilient, and hot, soapy water is the best way to...

Both are emergencies and every minute counts.  Signs of a heart attack include pressure or pain the chest, pain in one or both arms, neck, back, jaw, or abdomen, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or dizziness. In some, sudden onset reflux symptoms or pain just below the sternum may be experienced. Both men and women are vulnerable to heart attacks.  Symptoms of a stroke include: drooping face, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, numbness or weakness in an arm, leg, or the face, confusion, vision problems in one or both eyes, dizziness, loss of coordination, headache, Most people do not have symptoms, so the best way to find out is to get your blood pressure checked every year at your annual checkup. That being said, when people show symptoms, they may include:  Headaches that don’t go away Blurred vision or seeing double Frequent nosebleeds Shortness of breath It is imperative to take the medications following your doctor’s instructions. If you skip doses or don’t take them correctly, they may not be effective. Your doctor may prescribe:  ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for Angiotensin-converting enzyme.

Both avoidant personality disorder and schizoid personality disorder can cause people to avoid social interactions with others, but there is a very important difference between the two. People with avoidant personality disorder are typically very troubled by their isolation and want to get involved with others, while people with schizoid personality disorder usually are not distressed by their lack of interaction. Social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder are extremely similar, so it may be impossible for someone who is not trained in psychology to distinguish one from the other. Typically, individuals with avoidant personality disorder display more symptoms than those with social anxiety disorder, and their symptoms tend to be more inhibiting.  Individuals who display only a few of the symptoms of avoidant personality disorder may in fact have social anxiety disorder, but it is important that a trained mental health professional make this diagnosis. Some people may be diagnosed with both avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety disorder, which further complicates the distinction between the two conditions. Avoidant personality disorder is not the only psychiatric condition that can cause individuals to lack self-confidence and feel inadequate. Before assuming that an individual has avoidant personality disorder, consider other, similar personality disorders.  Like people with avoidant personality disorder, people with histrionic personality disorder tend to lack self-esteem. The major difference is that people with histrionic personality disorder tend to go out of their way to seek the approval and validation of others, often in an unhealthy or destructive way, while people with avoidant personality disorder instead avoid contact with others. Dependent personality disorder is also characterized by a lack of self-worth and fear of abandonment. However, people with dependent personality tend to latch on to a specific individual instead of avoiding all social interactions. People with...

Both baby blues and postpartum depression are very real. Baby-blues are fairly normal, but be careful for signs of postpartum depression. These can be signals of a serious problem that may require professional help.  Signs of baby blues:  Mood swings Anxiety Sadness Irritability Feeling overwhelmed Crying Reduced concentration Appetite problems Trouble sleeping   Signs of postpartum depression:  Depression or severe mood swings Excessive crying Difficulty bonding with the baby Withdrawing from family and friends Loss of appetite or sudden, excessive eating Insomnia or hypersomnia (lack of sleep or excessive sleep) Overwhelming fatigue Intense irritability and anger Feelings of worthlessness, shame, guilt or inadequacy Diminished ability to think clearly, concentrate or make decisions You may want to excitedly have everyone you know over to see the baby. Just make sure that you're not over-doing it. A new baby is stressful enough, without all the added chaos from celebrations. Clean up. Shoo people home before it gets too late. Parenting is a two person (or more) job. Make sure you do your part, but don't go overboard. By becoming an equal partner in your relationship, you can make the time after labor more positive. Especially in the first few weeks after the birth, a new mom may need a lot of time to recover. She made need frequent naps, be sore, and generally fatigued. At this time, remember all the work she did in the delivery room, and help her out. Try to be as involved with the baby as possible. The mother shouldn't be the only one getting up with the baby all night – you should also be present. Treat her well, but make sure you take care of yourself, too. Fathers sometimes have such a strong need to help out, they forget to take care of themselves. Make sure you are rested and content, so that you can be there for your wife. Don't burn yourself out.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте внимательны к ее настроению. Празднуйте вдвоем. Распределяйте обязанности. Будьте добры к себе.


Both brass and copper develop a patina with age, usually green but sometimes other colors. If none of the original metal is visible, try brass cleaning techniques. These typically work for both metals, but to be safe you could use a commercial brass and copper cleaning product. If the metal is highly polished, you may see false colors due to reflected light. Look at it in sunlight or under a white fluorescent light bulb, not under a yellow incandescent bulb. Copper is a pure metal, and always has a reddish brown appearance. A modern US penny is plated in copper (and was almost entirely copper from 1962 to 1981), so this is a good point of comparison. The word brass refers to any alloy that contains copper and zinc. Different proportions of these metals produce different colors, but the most common types of brass have a muted yellow color, or a yellow-brown appearance similar to bronze. These brass alloys are widely used in machined parts and screws. Some brass has a greenish-yellow appearance, but this alloy, called "gilding metal," is only used for a few specialized purposes in decoration and ammunition. Many other common brass alloys can look orange or reddish brown, when they contain at least 85% copper. These types of brass are usually found in jewelry, decorative fasteners, or plumbing. Any hint of orange, yellow, or gold means the item is brass, not copper. If the brass alloy is almost entirely copper, you may need to compare it side by side with a copper pipe or item of jewelry. If you're still not sure, it's either copper or brass with such a high copper content that the distinction may not be important. Brass with high zinc content can look bright gold, yellowish white, and even white or grey. These alloys are not common, since they are not machine workable, but you may find them in jewelry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Both caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that will interfere with sleep, so you should avoid using them too close to going to bed. Though alcohol is a depressant, it still leads to more waking at night and a lower quality of sleep. A cool, dark, and quiet location are all key to falling asleep and staying asleep. This also means avoiding watching TV in bed or sitting in bed with other electronic devices such as phones, tablets, and laptops.  If dead silence hinders more than helps your sleep—or even if you want to mask outdoor noises—you can use a white noise machine that creates a low, consistent sound which won't interfere with sleep. Light has just as much impact on falling asleep as it does waking up. If possible, try to set up your room so it's dark enough to fall asleep while still letting in the morning sun to help you wake the following morning. Stressful or exciting activities increase alertness, making it more difficult for you to fall asleep. Establish a relaxing routine before bed, such as reading while drinking a soothing cup of herbal tea. You may also find taking a hot bath to be a nice pre-bedtime relaxation technique. You may also find deep-breathing exercises beneficial, such as those found at How to Breathe Deeply. Frustration over an inability to fall asleep just compounds the issue. If you can't fall asleep after 20 minutes, then try getting up and doing something relaxing to help make you sleepy, such as reading or listening to tranquil music.  Do not turn on the TV or another electronic device as staring at a bright screen will only wake you up more. Try not to stare at the clock as you try to sleep either. This is another way to simply frustrate yourself over being unable to sleep. Avoid the temptation to stay up late and sleep in too late on the weekends. The best way to sleep well consistently is to standardize your body's internal clock by going to bed at the same time each night, sleeping a solid 7 to 8 hours, and waking at the same time each morning. Note that the amount of...

Both cast iron and nonstick skillets are not dishwasher friendly. A cast iron pan may rust in the dishwasher, as it can be stripped of its protective seasoning. While some nonstick skillets can go in the dishwasher, it will wear down the nonstick coating more quickly. Metal utensils can scratch the surface of a nonstick pan. Instead of metal, use plastic, wood, or silicone with your grill pans to help the coating last longer. However, metal is fine to use on cast iron. When washing your grill pan, you may be tempted to reach for steel wool to clean the pan more thoroughly. However, like metal utensils, steel wool can damage the coating on your grill pan, both cast iron and nonstick varieties. Stick to nylon scrubbers. It takes a little time to build up a true seasoning on your cast iron skillets. While you're still building it, don't cook acidic foods like tomatoes or beans in your cast iron skillet. Once you have a good, non-stick surface on your surface, acidic foods are fine. While cast iron grill pans can take high heat, most nonstick grill pans aren't meant to go to high temperatures. If you want to cook something on a high temperature, stick to an outside grill or a cast iron grill pan.

Both electrolysis and laser removal have the potential to be permanent solutions after enough treatments. They are far more expensive than the other methods of hair removal, but they can save you a lot of time in the long run if you’re constantly waxing or bleaching your mustache. During laser-hair removal, a laser is used to zap many hair follicles at once and kill hair at the root. Because the lasers are best at targeting dark hairs that stand out against light skin, it’s not ideal for dark-skinned or light-haired people. Skin and hair color are less important for electrolysis, when a tiny needle is inserted into the hair follicle and creates a current that kills the root of the hair. Some places have better machines, more qualified specialists (always make sure they’re licensed), and happier customer reviews than others. Look online for reviews, but never choose a location based on the testimonials on their company website. Call your top two or three choices for clinics and ask them questions about their services, equipment, and training. Some things to ask include how long they’ve been in business, how old their equipment is, whether their equipment is FDA approved, and whether their practitioners are licensed. Also ask about the total price, whether they’ll let you do a patch test, what the possible side effects will be.

TL;DR in Russian:

В качестве постоянного средства используйте электролиз или лазерную эпиляцию. Лазерная эпиляция подойдет в том случае, если у вас темные волосы и светлая кожа. Узнайте о ближайших косметических салонах и специалистах по эпиляции. Обзвоните несколько салонов и узнайте подробности.


Both flat and eggshell (also called satin) latex paints look nice on interior walls because they don’t bounce a lot of light. Unfortunately, these popular paint finishes can be finicky to clean. These finishes can be damaged easily, so do not use chemicals or degreasers on this kind of paint. Choose a gentle dish detergent that is free from dyes. After mixing a few drops with about 0.5 gallons (1,900 ml) of warm water, soak a sponge in the solution. Another option is to mix 2–3 tablespoons (30–44 ml) of white vinegar with 1 gallon (3,800 ml) of warm water. It is very easy to leave streaks on flat and eggshell/satin walls. This means you want to use as little cleansing solution as possible. After soaking the sponge in the solution of your choice, wring it out until it’s just about dry.  Never use scrubby sponges or rough materials. A soft cellulose sponge will work best. Rub your soft, barely-wet sponge over the wall. Work from top to bottom. Move to the right and do another vertical area. Make your way across the wall in this pattern.  Remoisten and wring out your sponge as needed. You may need a chair or step-stool to reach the top of your wall. Since you are using a very gentle solution, one pass may not get your wall completely clean. If your wall was pretty dirty to begin with, it is a good idea to do a second pass. Pause and make some fresh solution. Begin again at the top left corner of your wall. Your solution is diluted enough that you shouldn’t need to rinse it off. Open some windows and/or doors. Turn on a fan. Give your wall plenty of time to air dry. Avoid drying your wall with towels, as this is more likely to leave streaks. If possible, wash your walls when it is warm outside.

Both frogs and toads jump. Frogs, however, tend to jump more often and much higher.  Frogs take very high jumps, and can also jump great lengths. Toads take very small hops and lack the ability to jump very far. Toads are much more likely to crawl than hop. Crawling is a toad's main form of movement. You will rarely see a frog crawling. An animal that is crawling is very likely to be a toad. Always consider other factors, as an injured frog may crawl. Frogs need to be close to water to survive, while toads can spend a lot of time out of water. An animal that stays close to water is likely to be a frog. If you find an animal far away from water, it is probably a toad. A frog is unlikely to wander far from a source of water.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите, как животное прыгает. Обратите внимание, ползает ли животное. Примите во внимание место, где вы нашли животное.


Both hot and cold temperature extremes can affect hives, and may cause them to worsen when hives are already present. For best results, take a comfortable, room-temperature bath to soothe skin rashes.  Sprinkle baking soda, uncooked oatmeal, or finely-ground colloidal oatmeal into your bath to help relieve itching. Avoid using soap until you know whether or not a given soap brand will irritate your hives. Cool, wet compresses can help alleviate the symptoms associated with rashes and hives. Exposure to a cold, wet bandage or dressing can help soothe irritated skin, and may help reduce inflammation by slowing blood flow to the rash. There are many things that can irritate hives and rashes. Even if you are not normally affected by common household irritants, it's best to avoid them until you know how your current rash/hives will react to these items. Common irritants include:  Cosmetics Dye (including dye used in clothing) Fur and leather products Hair coloring Latex Nickel products, including jewelry, zippers, buttons, and kitchen utensils Nail care products, including nail polish and artificial nails Soap and household cleaning products Even though your rash may itch very intensely, it's important to avoid scratching or rubbing the rash/hives. Scratching can cause the skin to break, leaving you prone to infection and delaying the healing process. In some people, exposure to heat and humidity can further irritate hives and rashes. If you are experiencing rashes or hives, avoid exposure to heat, humidity, and exercise. If you are experiencing rashes and hives, it's important that you choose the right clothing to prevent further irritating your skin. Choose loose, smooth-textured material like cotton. Avoid constricting clothing and any materials that are rough and scratchy like wool.
