In some cases you absolutely shouldn't remove your own stitches. If your stitches were inserted after a surgical procedure, or if the recommended healing time (usually 10-14 days) hasn't elapsed, removing them yourself can put you at greater risk for infection and may prevent your body from healing properly. Your skin needs to have grown back together before your stitches are removed.  Keep in mind that when you go to the doctor, adhesive strips are often placed on the skin after stitch removal to continue to facilitate the healing process. If you do it at home, you may not be getting the care you require. If you want to double check whether it's OK to remove your stitches, give your doctor a call. He or she will let you know whether it's safe enough to do it yourself. However, they will likely recommend you come into the office to get your stitches removed. If your wound looks as if it's getting red or more sore, do not remove your stitches: go to your doctor. You may have an infection. Keep in mind that in many cases, you can get your stitches removed without going through the regular doctor's appointment process. You might be able to walk right in for a quick stitch removal. It's likely that a nurse can check your wound and remove the stitches if the wound has healed. Call your doctor and ask. Use a sharp pair of surgical scissors if possible. Sharp nail scissors may also work. Avoid using any type of blunt edge, and don't use a knife - it's too easy for knives to slip. Drop them in a pot of boiling water for at least 20 minutes, let them thoroughly dry on a clean paper towel, then swab them thoroughly with a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. This will ensure the cutting tool and tweezers don't transfer bacteria to your body. There are a few other things you should have on hand. Gather sterile bandages and antibiotic ointment in case you need to treat an area that starts to bleed. You shouldn't need to use these supplies, since if your skin has properly healed, no bandage is necessary, but it's...

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что снимать швы не опасно. Выберите, чем вы будете снимать швы. Займитесь стерилизацией выбранных инструментов. Соберите все необходимое. Помойте и простерилизуйте в меру сил область, где вы будете снимать швы.


In some cases, a relative may have been unintentionally invited. Maybe you accidentally selected their name while setting up an event on Facebook. Or, maybe you talked about an event in their presence and they assumed they were invited. Whatever the case, you might be able to make up an excuse for having to disinvite them. Say, “Jessica, I clicked your name by accident when setting up the page for Samantha’s baby shower. It would have been nice for you to come, but we have to keep the guest list under 15 people. I’m sorry that this happened.” If an invitation was extended without your permission, do apologize for the miscommunication. You might say, “Hey, Derrick. Ronnie told me that he mentioned the party to you last week. He shouldn’t have done that. Our guest list is very exclusive. I’m sorry for this mix up.” Even better, you might suggest that the person who made the mistake deal with the situation. Tell them, “I saw Regina the other day and she’s under the impression that she’s invited to the party. She tends to drink too much, and I’m worried that she will make a scene. Can you please uninvite her?” Some family members automatically assume they are allowed at any event hosted by their relatives. Maybe they never got a formal invitation but have plans to attend. Let them down gently. For example, you overhear your cousin talking about what she will wear to your bridal shower. You might say, “Oh, Candice, I didn’t realize you were planning to come. The shower next weekend is going to be just for coworkers. But, I’d love to get together with you some other time, just the two of us.” The worst outcome of uninviting one guest is to have other guests refuse to come out of solidarity. Depending on how important their presence is to you, you may try to convince them to come. However, don’t allow yourself to be coerced into having an annoying guest in attendance. Stand firm in your decision, even if it means a few people not agreeing with you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Объясните, что список гостей ограничен. Извинитесь за человека, который говорил от вашего имени. Будьте решительны с теми, кто приходит без приглашения. Учитывайте, что другие гости могут устроить бойкот.


In some cases, being thrown off balance can be kept from turning into an actual fall by having on footwear suited to your activity. This is especially likely to prevent slips. If you are involved in an activity that puts you at greater risk of losing balance, chances are there is a shoe designed specifically for it that will improve your stability as much as possible.  Obviously, not all falls occur during risky activities. You should not design your wardrobe or life around the relatively small chance that you could lose your balance at some point. Just be smart about your footwear when the situation calls for it. For example, don't wear sandals while walking on ice. Choose footwear that is not likely to actually cause a fall. Many loose-fitting shoes (including flip-flops and most other sandals) could cause you to lose your balance if they come off at an inopportune moment. Again, just don't wear loose shoes while playing sports or doing anything else that elevates your risk of falling. A lot of falls occur when the person simply isn't looking where they're going. Minimize your risk by watching your step, especially in slippery or dimly-lit conditions. Being generally aware of your surroundings is good advice anyway, and will also help you more easily recover your balance if you do stumble.  When walking or moving around at night, use a flashlight or headlamp (if the situation calls for it). Casting light on the ground in front of you will majorly decrease your likelihood of taking a spill. When walking down stairs, it is an especially good idea to look at the step in front of the one you're currently standing on. If you look at the spot where you intend to step, your brain will do a much better job of telling your foot where to go than if you just settle into a rhythm of bouncing down the steps. Sometimes people take medications or consume other substances that decrease their ability to maintain balance. If you are under the influence of alcohol or medications that cause instability and reduce reaction...

TL;DR in Russian:

Носите подходящую обувь. Будьте осторожны. Старайтесь не выходить из дому, когда вы больны или ослаблены. Пользуйтесь перилами.


In some cases, he might not be willing to accept your apology. It is important to accept this yourself.  Do not get mad at him and do not yell at him. It is his right to accept or reject your apology, and if you really offended or hurt him, he might want to do that. If your mistake has cost you your friendship, you need to take responsibility for that. Avoid begging for his forgiveness or asking him what you can do to make it up to him. Rather, take the initiative to regain his trust by doing those things on your own. In your apology, you likely told him a way that you will make it up to him. Show him you were serious by following through with those promises.  Do whatever it takes to make it up to him without complaint. Complaining about it will only negate your apology and possibly put the guilt or blame on him. It is, quite possibly, even more important to follow through if he rejected your apology because this is a big way that you will try to regain his trust. Once the apology and the disagreement are over, it is best to let the whole situation fall into the past. Do not bring it up over and over again, regardless of whether he accepted or rejected your apology. If he accepted it, then bringing it up will likely become annoying and cause a new issue. If he rejected it, then bothering him about it frequently will likely only push him further away.

TL;DR in Russian:

Смиритесь, если друг не примет извинения. Покажите, что ваше извинение было искренним. Не вспоминайте о ситуации.


In some cases, like if you've introduced a serious irritant or contaminant to your eye, you shouldn't bother with sterile eye washes. Instead, your focus should be on immediately and thoroughly washing your eyes, then getting medical help.  For example, if you accidentally splash your eyes with a chemical that is an acid, an alkaline (base), a corrosive, or some other kind of irritant, then stop what you're doing and flush your eyes with water right away. Keep in mind that some chemicals react adversely with water. For example, most of the alkali metals (the furthest-left column in the periodic table) react violently with water. Don't flush these chemicals with water. Most places where you can may splash dangerous chemicals in your eye will come equipped with special eye wash stations. If you get a foreign object or chemical in your eye(s), go to the eye wash station right away and then:  Depress the lever. The lever should be brightly marked and easy to find. Place your face in front of the water spouts. These spouts will spray water in your eyes at a low pressure. Keep your eyes as wide-open as possible. Use your fingers to keep your eyes open as you rinse them. If you can't immediately find an eye wash station or you're somewhere where there are no eye wash stations (like at home), you can use the running water from your sink instead. Tap water isn't ideal for eye washing, as it's not as sterile as the purified water used in many laboratories. But it is far more important to rinse the chemicals from your eyes than it is to worry about possible infections. To wash out your eyes using the sink:  Go to the nearest sink and turn the cold water on. If it is very cold, then you may want to adjust it until the temperature is lukewarm. Then, lean over the sink and splash water into your open eyes. If your sink has an adjustable faucet, point it directly into your eye at a low pressure and hold your eyes open with your fingers. Rinse your eyes for at least 15 to 20 minutes. After you have washed out your eyes, you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте о том, при каких повреждениях глаза необходимо его немедленное промывание. При возможности используйте специальный душ для промывки глаз. Промойте глаза под водой из крана. Позвоните в службу неотложной медицинской помощи и проконсультируйтесь насчет дальнейших действий.


In some cases, like if you've introduced a serious irritant or contaminant to your eye, you shouldn't bother with sterile eye washes. Instead, your focus should be on immediately and thoroughly washing your eyes, then getting medical help. If you accidentally splash your eyes with a chemical that is an acid, an alkaline (base), a corrosive, or some other kind of irritant,  immediately  stop what you're doing and flush your eyes with water. You can reach the Poison Control Center at (800) 222-1222 for advice. They will advise you either to wash your eyes or seek immediate medical attention based on the chemical contaminant.  For instance, some chemicals—such as most of the alkali metals—react violently with water. The Poison Control Center can easily identify the correct steps for you to take. If they advise you to call 911 and also to rinse your eyes, have someone else around you call emergency services for you while you concentrate on rinsing your eyes. The quicker you can get to a hospital, the more likely you are to prevent serious injury or blindness. Most places where you can conceivably splash dangerous chemicals in your eye will come equipped with special eye wash stations designed for just such a situation. Proceed immediately to the eyewash station, depress the lever (which should be brightly marked and easily accessed),  and place your face in front of the water spouts, which will spray water at a low pressure. Keep your eyes as wide open as possible. You may want to use your fingers to keep them wide open. Water doesn't neutralize many chemicals. It simply dilutes them and washes them away. For this reason, a large quantity is needed. The volume of wash delivered should not be less than 1.5 liters/minute (0.4 gallons/minute) for fifteen minutes. If you can't immediately find an eyewash station, proceed to the nearest sink as quickly as you can. Tap water isn't ideal for eye washing, as it's not as sterile as the purified water used in many laboratories, but it's far more important to rinse the...

In some cases, puffy cheeks may indicate a medical condition that requires treatment. If you’re already at a healthy weight and nothing seems to help reduce the puffiness in your cheeks, make an appointment with a doctor. For example, your doctor may want to check you for the mumps since this condition causes your cheeks to look puffy. If you’re taking a prescription of over-the-counter medication regularly, this might be contributing to puffy cheeks. Check with your doctor to see if this if a possibility and if there are any alternative medications you can try. For example, oxycodone can cause a reaction that makes your face and extremities swell up. Although this is rare, it’s worth looking into if you’re taking this medication. This is an extreme option for excess weight in your cheeks, but you might consider it if nothing’s helping and the excess weight bothers you. You can ask your primary care physician for a referral to a plastic surgeon or find an experienced plastic surgeon on your own.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попросите врача проверить, не связана ли полнота щек с какими-либо заболеваниями. Проверьте, не может ли округлость щек быть связана с принимаемыми вами лекарствами. Подумайте о пластической операции, если не помогли другие методы.


In some cases, such as a contract for the private sale of personal items, the other party to the contract should have a copy. However, if the contract is an employment or sales contract with a large company, determining who exactly has the contract can be more difficult. Here are some guidelines to help you determine who has the contract.   If the other party to the contract is an individual, he or she should have the original agreement with both of your signatures. If a company or organization is the other party to the contract, you will need to find the appropriate person within the organization who is likely to have a copy of the contract. The company’s Human Resource (“HR”) or Legal Department would be a logical place to start. If there is no HR or Legal department, or you cannot locate a phone number for the individual department, simply call the company’s general number. Whomever answers the phone should be able to tell you which department retains copies of executed company contracts, and direct your call accordingly. Start by looking through your personal paperwork to see if you have records showing contact information for the person or business with whom you signed the contract. Next, look in the telephone book or online for specific contact information, such as a mailing address, phone number, or email address. Social media sites are another potential source of contact information. If you have the correct contact information, it will be easier to contact the person or business with whom you signed the contract. The type of request will depend on to whom it is directed. For example, if you personally know the party who has the contract, a phone call may be the most appropriate type of request. A request directed to a large company may call for a formal letter. What follows should help you decide what type of request is most appropriate.  Telephone. For many contract requests, directly calling the person who has the contract is best. If you know the person who has the contract and you have a phone...

TL;DR in Russian:

In some cases, such as opening nights and special "black tie" events hosted by the theater, attending a stage production might require formal dress. For these occasions, you should plan to piece together some of the more elegant selections from your wardrobe. Typically, black and white will be the best chromatic choices for such events. If a production is advertised as "black tie" or "white tie," or if it's an inherently formal type of event, like an opening night or opera, this means that formal dress standards are expected. In contemporary times, the rules of formal dress have changed somewhat. One effective strategy is to dress in a manner similar to the way you would for a night out at an upscale restaurant, or perhaps even a professional setting. If you're a woman, this may be a mid-length skirt or pant suit, although evening wear like a tasteful cocktail dress will create a more alluring look. Men should choose a well-fitting suit in dark, neutral evening hues; shirtsleeves with a tie and pressed slacks are also generally acceptable. For modern formal theater events, the same attire you might wear to a wedding, funeral or charity dinner will generally be sufficient. Finalize your formal look with necklaces, bracelets, watches and other jewelry. Wear closed-toes shoes with appropriate stockings or dress socks, even in the summer. Carry a matching purse or handbag for small belongings (if you have a larger bag that might take up too much aisle space, leave it at home). And, of course, be courteous to the actors and other patrons and keep cell phones and other devices put away until after the show.  Oversized or abundant jewelry can look gaudy and distract from a sharp outfit. Binoculars are permissible if the theater where the production is being staged is quite large, or for those with who have trouble seeing at a distance. Because they don't make noise or emit light, like phones and camera, binoculars are considered normal theater accessories. Your hair is also a vital part of your appearance. Scruffy...

TL;DR in Russian:

In some cases, the event planner is also the emcee. Ask them if they require anything special in their introduction. Ask them to pronounce their full name, so that you can say it with ease. Go to their website, listen to their music, read their blog or ask for their resume. You should be able to talk about the person in-depth and off-the-cuff. Learning about intricacies in the event will help you stay on tone as you present. A theme will connect each of your introductions and improve event cohesiveness. Don’t improvise or you are likely to say the wrong thing or take up too much time. The following are good rules to follow when writing your script:  Don’t use inside jokes. If the whole audience doesn’t get them, they can ruin the cohesive feeling in the group. Don’t use offensive language or stereotypes. If you can’t tell a joke without offending, avoid humor and be sincere. Avoid hyperbole when you explain the presenters. Don’t say “She is the best person in the world,” say, “She won the Community Leader Award for the last three years.” Let the resume speak for itself when possible. Keep it short. Spend the same amount of time and care on each presenter.

TL;DR in Russian:

In some cases, there are no obvious signs that a dog has a kidney stone. Kidney stones might be found during an x-ray or ultrasound for another condition in the affected dog. In other cases, there are certain clues or signs that might make a veterinarian suspicious that a dog has a kidney stone. These include:  Blood in the urine Frequent urination and increased drinking Recurring urinary tract infections Loss of appetite Vomiting Weight loss Difficulty urinating Lack of energy Painful belly Kidney stones are the result of minerals found in the urine. The kidney is the urine formation organ in the body. In some cases, as the urine forms the minerals which should dissolve in the urine do not dissolve. Instead, they start forming into stones. These stones can be microscopic or large enough to fill cavities in the kidney. Regardless of size these are not normal and can potentially damage the kidneys. Kidney stones can block your dog's urine flow and cause his kidneys to swell if the stone is too large. A blockage may result in serious illness and even death, so it is crucial to contact your veterinarian right away if you suspect that your dog has a kidney stone. Kidney stones may also lodge in the bladder or start to form in the bladder itself. This process is more common and some dogs’ bladders may fill completely with stones. No matter where a stone forms, it will cause infection and on-going damage to the kidney or bladder. Certain dog breeds are more susceptible to kidney stones than others. It is good to know if your dog is one of these breeds so that you can check for symptoms more often.  Lhasa Apsos, Yorkshire Terriers, and Miniature Poodles are more susceptible to kidney stones made of calcium and oxalic acid Dalmatians, Yorkshire Terriers, and English Bulldogs. are more susceptible to kidney stones made of uric acid.

In some cases, unless the circuit has been installed by a licensed contractor and then approved by a local building/electrical inspector, the manufacturer won't recognize the warranty. The power that runs the hot tub must be given a dedicated circuit because of its electrical demands. No other appliances or electrical demands should share the power. Again, if there is any doubt about how to wire the circuit responsible for the hot tub, use a licensed electrician. Otherwise, here is some important information about wiring that you should know:  The size of the wire you use must be approved by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or local codes. The size of the wire you use should be based on the length of run from the breaker box to the hot tub. The maximum current draw should also play a role in determining wire size. Copper wire is recommended with THHN (thermoplastic nylon) insulation. In fact, all wiring should be copper; aluminum wire should be avoided. If using wire larger than #6 (10mm2), be sure to put a junction box close the hot tub. Then, reduce the wire to short lengths of #6 (10mm2) in between the junction box and the hot tub. When it comes down to it, saving a few hundred extra bucks isn't worth the potential disaster of voiding the warranty or causing serious bodily harm or death. Please see a professional if you no experience wiring electrical circuits.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следует знать, что некоторые гарантии аннулируются, если установка электрического контура производится не лицензированным подрядчиком. Если вы решили выполнить электромонтаж самостоятельно, то для электропитания следует выделить отдельный контур. При самостоятельном подключении следите за соблюдением спецификаций. При наличии сомнений лучше обратиться за помощью к профессионалу.


In some cases, you cannot avoid interacting with the person, but you can keep the time you spend with him or her to a minimum. Keeping your interaction short and sweet is key.  If they have a snappy attitude each time you talk to them in person, consider communicating via email. For face-to-face encounters, prepare your statement ahead of time so that the conversation can end quickly: "Hey, I'm headed to a meeting, but I wanted to check in to see how the report was progressing." This is a big part of having an exit plan. If you have to ask for his or her help, do it on the way out to lunch, so you do not have time to stay for any negative feedback.  Make your exit obvious, like having your coat on and walking out the door. This will allow you to leave quickly in a convincing manner. They won't have time to be mean. You can say something like "Oh, well. I'm running late for my lunch break. I'll catch you later." You may have a choice in some cases like avoiding a mean cashier at the local grocery store but in other cases like the mean person being your boss you may not be able to avoid him or her altogether. Mean people can spread their negative energy, so keeping your distance allows you to preserve a positive outlook. If you can't avoid them, consider each encounter as a challenge for you to show compassion and practice patience. Just as mean people can spread negative energy, you can spread the positive. Being around mean people can be draining. Just as you should try to avoid a person who is mean to you, you should also make an effort to be around people who are nice and supportive. Doing so can provide you with much-needed nurturing and counteract the negative energy a mean person gives off.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отвечайте коротко и прямо, чтобы скорее завершить разговор. Найдите повод уйти. Старайтесь избегать человека. Заручитесь поддержкой.


In some cases, you may feel possessive because things have happened in the relationship that make you question the relationship's stability. If this is the case, you should address the issues with your partner. This way you can resolve the issues, you will know where your relationship stands, and you can start being less possessive of your partner.  Tell your partner you'd like to talk about some of the issues you all have been having in the relationship. You might say, “Can we talk about the problems we've been having lately?” Have an open and honest conversation about the things that have been bothering you. Remember that resolving some issues such as past betrayals may take more than one conversation and a bit of time. Leaving these unresolved can also lead to an ongoing lack of trust. One of the keys to a successful relationship is trust. You have to trust that your partner cares about you and is honest with you, just as they trust the same things about you. Part of the problem with being too possessive is that it sends your partner the message that you don't trust them. Be less possessive with your partner by having faith in their feelings and their actions.  Trust your partner when they say they are going somewhere or doing something. You don't need to check up on them to see if they are being faithful. Believe what your partner tells you. Unless you know for a fact that your partner is dishonest, you should trust what they say. Have faith in your partner's feelings for you. Trust that your partner cares about you as much as they say they do. One issue with being possessive of your partner is that it may cause you to act in ways that are disrespectful to your partner, yourself, or others. You may say or do things that are humiliating, patronizing, or hurtful. You can be less possessive of your partner and build a stronger relationship if you make an effort to show them the respect they deserve.  Talk respectfully to and about your partner. Don't yell or scream at them or intentionally say things to make...

In some cases, you may not be sure how to act or react towards another person. By reflecting the other person's facial expression, you will demonstrate that the two of you are on the same page. In the majority of cases, this will go over in a positive light. It's not recommended to mimic the other person if you suspect he is using sarcasm. Even the most kind-hearted person can come off as rude if they don't tend to basics first. This includes taking a shower at least a few times a week and making sure your clothes are freshly laundered. If you carry a sour body odour with you wherever you go, you're not likely to make any friends and people are bound to be repulsed. Something this simple can mean a world of difference as far as politeness is concerned. Some people tend to blink rapidly when they're under stress. If noticed, this can give the other person the impression that you're uncomfortable or feel rushed. Because this is an involuntary action, it can be hard to train yourself out of it, or even know if you do it. The next time you're in a somewhat stressful situation, try to be conscious of your blinking. This and other facets of negative body language can be eased by allowing yourself to relax. Body language is most often done without thinking. If we are stressed, it is often seen in the way we position our bodies. Even if we're otherwise making an issue to be as polite as possible, this rudeness can manage to get through. The best way to keep it under control is to make an emphasized point of paying attention to your own body language. Crossed arms and an aggressive stance can come across naturally, but if you fix your focus on the way your body's reacting, you'll be able to keep these signs of stress from showing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Повторяйте выражение лица собеседника. Следите за собой. Не моргайте слишком часто. Внимательно следите за языком тела в стрессовых ситуациях.


In some cases, you might not be able to avoid a very close encounter with a snake. Unfortunately, snake bites do occur. If you or a friend experience a snake bite, there are several steps you can take to effectively deal with the situation.  Make sure that the person who was bitten does not panic. Remaining calm can be difficult, but it will definitely help the situation. If you are bitten, avoid moving around. Restricting your movement will help to reduce the flow of venom. Sometimes you may not be certain if you or your friend were actually bitten. Be familiar with the common symptoms of snake bites. You may see fang marks or swelling at the wound. Fever, dizziness, and weakness are also common symptoms. You need to seek professional help for any snake bite. Even if you think it is minor, call a doctor. Depending on where you are, you may need to call an ambulance.  Call 911. The dispatcher might direct you to either take the patient to the nearest clinic or hospital, or they might send an ambulance. Antivenom needs to be administered to snakebite victims. There are different types of antivenom. Try to tell the doctor or operator what type of snake it was. If you don't know, try to describe its appearance. You can also call the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. They can offer advice on treatment and are available 24/7. You should seek medical assistance for any snake bite, no matter the severity. If you can't immediately get the victim to a treatment facility, you can use basic first aid.  Remove any rings, jewelry, or clothing around the area. This will help prevent swelling. Gently clean the wound with water and a clean cloth. Do not flush the wound with water. Wrap the wounded limb with compression bandages. Apply these bandages as you would to a sprained ankle, wrapping firmly but not too tight. Keep wrapping the bandages about 4 inches above the wound. Do not apply a tourniquet. Do not try to suck the venom out by mouth. Know that anytime you are spending time in the outdoors you could...

In some cases, you might not have time to set up speakers in your bathroom. In other cases, setting up speakers might not be worth the effort. You don’t need speakers to listen to music while showering. However, if you do plan on using speakers, select durable, small- to mid-sized speakers.  Large speakers will create more volume and will be the easiest for you to hear over the sound of the shower running. However, these tend to be more delicate, and will likely be more sensitive to steam. Speakers that can be oriented to broadcast music directly at the shower should be prioritized. These kinds of speaker will be easier to hear over the running water. If you’re playing music straight from your phone without external speakers, it may be difficult to hear the music. It’s a good thing you can create an emergency amplifier by inserting the speaker end of your phone into a cup or glass.  You may want to try several different glasses, as the shape of the glass will influence the application effect. Generally, you can expect wide-mouthed glasses or bowls to produce richer, fuller, deeper sound than small-mouthed glasses. The more you focus the sound of your phone and (potentially) your speakers on the shower, the easier it’ll be for you to hear the music over the sound of the water. If you made a cup-amplifier, you may be able to hear the music best from the shower if you angle the mouth of the cup to face the shower.  Water can sometimes spray through gaps in the curtain, especially after you enter the shower. Take extra care to keep your equipment from getting unnecessarily wet. Generally, moisture is bad for electronics. The acoustics of your bathroom may also influence the best placement of your audio equipment. Generally, sound waves spread through a room, bouncing off hard surfaces and being absorbed by soft ones. The more concentrated these waves, the easier to hear they are. Angle speakers and cup-amplifiers to emit sound at your shower area. When you’re in the shower, especially if you don’t have the...

In some cases, you will first spot a leak in your aquarium by noticing that the water level is dropping. While there is always some evaporation in fish tanks, any noticeable level drop could be due to a leak. If you have a severe leak, the location will likely be very evident and you will be able to find the source from a quick glance around the tank. If the leak is not obvious, you may first suspect one if there is unexplained water around the outside of your tank. Even a small amount of unexplained dampness could signal a problem. If you have changed a filter, added items into your tank, or otherwise interacted with the tank recently, water outside of the aquarium may be due to your activities. Try drying it up and then keeping an eye out for additional water pooling up. If the water returns, then you have a leak. If you suspect there is a leak, but its location is not evident, then you will need to do a bit of investigating. Look for metal corners that appear to be separated from the glass, and for sealant protruding in the corners. These are tell tale signs that the aquarium has a problem. Also, feel around the edges. If you feel water, move upward from that location, until the surface feels dry. The furthest spot towards the top of the tank that is wet is likely to be the leaking area. If you find the location of the leak, or you have an area where you suspect the leak is, you should mark that area with a felt tip pen. This will allow you to keep track of the area once your tank is empty and you begin repairs. Most felt tip pen marks can be easily removed with glass cleaner after you finish your repairs. Leaks along the seams of your aquarium are relatively easy to fix because they are usually caused by a failure in the silicone, and silicone can be easily replaced. However, if the leak is due to a cracked side or bottom of your tank, that is not as easy to repair. Replacing a whole piece of glass will take a lot more time, expertise, and energy. Basically, replacing a glass panel of an aquarium will...

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за уровнем воды в аквариуме. Проверьте, нет ли мокрых участков вокруг аквариума. Осмотрите аквариум, чтобы найти течь. Отметьте место течи. Некоторые течи невозможно ликвидировать в домашних условиях.


In some circles, this is known as verb 1, 2, and 3. Place a colon next to each one. You will then write the correct conjugation next to each term.  Write down the infinitive form at the top. This is the word that is used with the word “to.” In English, it is also the part of the verb that is used with the future tense and with auxiliary verbs. For example, with the verb “to search,” the infinitive is “search.” List the present participle. This is the form of the verb that you use with the present continuous tense, such as “I am searching.” List the past participle. This is the form of the verb you would use with the past perfect, present perfect and future perfect tenses. For example, "I had searched," “I have searched," and "I will have searched." These are the most commonly used pronouns, including I, you, he, she, it, we, you and they. You are listing the first person, second person and third person, both singular and plural.  The pronouns that you conjugate will change based on the language. Clarify what conjugations you are asked to include before you start your assignment. When doing English conjugation, you can group he, she and it together. You can also opt to remove the plural 2nd person, or you, because the verb does not change based on the number of people (that is, "you search" versus "you (all) search"). While you'll be able to stop at person and number for some languages (Romance languages, namely), for others that won't be the case. If your language needs to account for gender, mood, voice (the full list is in the last section), do so now. It's still best to use a few verbs. How many "verb families" does your language have? Make sure to have one of each, including irregular verbs. Write the form of the verb that is used for each person in each tense you are working on, next to the pronoun. Have separate charts that are constructed the same, yet different for past, present, and future. For example, to conjugate the verb “to search” in the present tense, you would write “I search, you search,...

Итак, с чего же начать? На соседних строках перечислите все те лица, по которым должен спрягаться глагол. Не забывайте про род и прочие грамматические категории. Внесите выбранные глаголы в таблицу спряжений. Внесите все выбранные глаголы в таблицы.


In some cultures and especially in baseball, it's common to spit on the ground, close to someone's feet, when you want to insult them. This is a common way of expressing disgust. This is always insulting. Because of this, it can also be provocative and confrontational, which could lead to an escalation in a tense situation. Be very careful if you ever attempt to do this. It's a common trope in hyper-masculine television shows that two men will spit on their hand before shaking to "seal a deal," but this is purely a product of pop culture, not a common tradition in any culture. If you've just bought a house and want to seal the deal with the realtor, just shake hands in the regular way. No spitting necessary. To avoid consuming too much alcohol during a wine tasting, it's traditional to spit the wine out into a bucket after tasting each different variety. Buckets will often be provided at professional tasting events, but they may not be. If you'd rather spit, make sure you locate a receptacle before taking wine into your mouth and never just spit it onto the ground. If you're only going to be tasting a few varieties, it's always perfectly ok to swallow the wine instead. Just get a designated driver. It's common practice to keep the sidewalk and other surfaces free of tobacco stains by spitting into a jar, bottle, or receptacle that you keep on your person, ideally out of sight. Even if you're going to be outside, it's a good idea to spit tobacco into a receptacle. Old-style spittoons were first introduced to help control the spread of tuberculosis and other communicable disease spread by contact with bodily fluids. Spittoons are still common in some public buildings, including the United States Senate. In some regions, it's thought that spitting on the ground can help to ward off the possibility of bad omens. If you're a superstitious person and find a black cat crossing your path, a bird flying into your house, or you find yourself walking under a ladder, consider spitting courteously and quietly. It's good luck.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не плюйте рядом с людьми (и особенно им под ноги), потому что это считается оскорблением. Никогда не плюйте на руку, чтобы «оформить» сделку! Если вам нужно сплюнуть во время дегустации вина, плюйте в специальную емкость. Если вы курите и хотите сплюнуть, плюйте в емкость. Иногда принято плевать через плечо, чтобы защититься от злых духов или плохих вещей, которые могут произойти.


In some cultures, pointing with an index finger, giving the “ok” sign, and other common gestures can be seen as offensive. Since you may not know which gestures could be mistaken in this way, stick to “open-handed” gestures. For instance, try using your whole hand if you need to point to something. Keep your feet on the floor, sit up straight, don’t use your arms too expressively, and otherwise keep your posture more or less conservative. This is because certain postures can be seen as offensive to others. For instance, showing your foot in some cultures is seen as a rude gesture, so you would not want to cross your legs in a way that your sole sticks out. If it becomes clear that a less formal posture is acceptable, you can follow suit. Some cultures may expect more physical contact between people when communicating than other cultures do. For example, some cultures may shake or touch hands more willingly than others.  Don’t take it as offensive if another culture is more or less physical than you are used to when communicating. The exception is if you think you are being violated or abused. If you are uncomfortable, let others know. It’s a good rule of thumb to be conservative with the way you touch people from other cultures when communicating with them. However, if they appear to use more physical contact, follow suit if you are comfortable doing so. In some cultures, looking another person in the eye when you speak is seen as a sign of honesty and interest. In other cultures, however, it may be seen as disrespectful, confrontational, or a sign of sexual interest. Conversely, some cultures think than not looking a superior person in the eye when communicating is a sign of respect. It is common for different cultures to use facial expressions differently. For instance, Americans may smile frequently, while other cultures may see excessive smiling as a sign of shallowness. When communicating with people from other cultures, you may notice that they are more expressive with their face (to show happiness,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте открытые жесты. Сначала примите официальную позу. Изучите правила, касающиеся прикосновений. Изучите, как устанавливать зрительный контакт или избегать его. Будьте готовы к различным выражениям лица. Уважайте количество личного пространства, которого требует ситуация.


In some families, pieces associated with holidays are passed down, such as a ceramic animal figurine or a decorated ceramic egg. If it is a large enough piece, it might be enough on its own, or easily spruced up with ribbon or flowers. If it's small, work it into a display using other Easter items.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте в центр стола пасхальное украшение, которое передается в вашей семье из поколения в поколение.


In some instances you should store vitamins or supplements in the fridge, but only if the label instructs you to do so. Although most vitamins and supplements should be stored at room temperature, there are some vitamins and supplements that require refrigeration.  These include liquid vitamins, and some essential fatty acids and probiotics. Probiotics contain active cultures that can die if exposed to heat, light or air, so it is essential that you refrigerate them. Still, not all essential fatty acids, liquid vitamins and probiotics are required to be kept in the refrigerator, so it’s best to check the label first. It is more likely that you will be instructed to store liquids in the fridge than other forms of vitamins or supplements. Some multivitamins tablets are best kept in the fridge too. Make sure you secure the lid very tightly to avoid any moisture penetration. Leaving the lid loose in the refrigerator means exposing your supplements to excess moisture, which could seriously degrade the vitamins or supplements.  Keep the container well out of the reach of any children or pets. Even if they are in a childproof container, you should make sure that they are inaccessible. Put your supplements in a separate airtight container from foods to prevent any potential contamination. Perishable foods in the fridge could easily spoil, so it’s best to put vitamins and supplements in a separate airtight container.  If foods spoil nearby your supplements, any mould or bacteria could spread to them if they are not properly separated. Remember to keep your vitamins and supplements in their original containers. Airtight containers will not completely eliminate moisture, as you will let in moisture whenever you open the container.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сначала прочитайте этикетку. Храните витамины в плотно закрытом контейнере. Отделите витамины от пищевых продуктов воздухонепроницаемыми контейнерами.


In some instances, it might be best to install the yarn bomb during daylight hours. Other times, you might find it more beneficial to install it at night, when few others are around to interfere.  Yarn bombing during the day will likely make it impossible to remain anonymous, but if secrecy is not important to you, the daylight will make it much easier to see. If you want to remain anonymous, you will need to pick a time of day when very few people are likely to be around. Usually, this means installing the yarn bomb at night. Aside from your yarn artwork and installation tools, you may also need to bring a few helpers with you.  You will need to bring a yarn needle, matching yarn, and scissors to actually install a crocheted or knitted piece. If you are latch hooking or cross stitching, bring the tools you would usually use to create a piece of this nature. Take your diagram, as well, so that you can check your work against it as you move through the installation. You should also bring along a ladder if you need to reach tall places and a flashlight if you are working at night. Even if you think you can install the yarn bomb on your own, it is a wise idea to bring at least one friend with you if you are doing the work in the evening or at night. Use your diagram as a guide as you wrap each piece of yarn artwork around the appropriate part of the object. Hold each piece in place with safety pins until all of the pieces are in their correct position. If you are cross stitching, latch hooking, or wrapping, you won't have any previously created pieces to wrap around the work. Instead, you will need to use the object itself as your canvas and create the entire work on scene. Use additional yarn and a large yarn needle to stitch all the seams together, holding the yarn bomb in place more securely. Once everything is in place, you can remove the safety pins previously responsible for holding the pieces together. Use a simple stitch to make the process as easy and quick as possible. For instance, a whip stitch is...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите наилучшее время. Возьмите все, что вам может потребоваться. Оберните каждую часть вокруг объекта. Сшейте детали вашего произведения. Никогда не портите никакого имущества.


In some instances, underarm pimples will develop as a result of excess oil and bacteria. As a result, you should wash your armpits at least once a day. If you are a profuse sweater, you may want to wash them multiple times a day in order to prevent the development of underarm pimples. You should always wash after exercising to remove oil and bacteria from the surface of your skin. Some deodorants can also cause skin irritation under the armpits and can contribute to the development of clogged pores. Try using fragrance free and hypoallergenic deodorants to help reduce the chances of developing underarm pimples. You can also choose a deodorant without aluminum. Tight clothing can also contribute to the development of underarm pimples because they trap in moisture, which can cause bacteria to develop. If you suffer from underarm pimples, wear loose cotton clothes. This will allow your underarms to breathe and will help keep them free of moisture throughout the day.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно мойте под мышками. Пользуйтесь натуральным дезодорантом. Носите дышащую одежду.


In some patients, overbites can lead to the erosion of individual teeth through unwanted grinding and strain. If this happens, the dentist may need to install caps, crowns, or other forms of dental hardware. This can happen before or after the primary realignment process. If you grind your teeth while sleeping, ask your dentist about nighttime mouth guards. In many cases, overbites are caused by overcrowding, a condition where your teeth are too close together. To move forward with braces or other alignment treatments, your orthodontist may need to have some of these teeth extracted, opening up room for everything to move around. In most cases, extraction will be handled by a dentist, not your orthodontist. In extreme cases, full oral surgery may be required to fix an overbite. During this process, the cheeks are pulled back and a surgeon makes incisions inside the jaw. This allows them to physically move the jaw, changing your chin shape and aligning your teeth. This is typically only done after less invasive methods, like braces, have failed to work. Expect the surgery to cost between $20,000 and $40,000 and leave you hospitalized for about 2 days. Because the surgery is typically performed inside the mouth, most patients leave with no visible scars.

TL;DR in Russian:

Исправьте зубы. Удалите скученные зубы. Проведите операцию на челюсти.


In some places in Europe, the requirement is 18. Unfortunately, if you are under the age of 13 (or 18 depending on where you live) it is a violation of the Instagram Terms of Service to be on the app. It will not only be harder to get online, it will be difficult to convince your parents that an account is a good idea. Don't talk to them whenever they're busy, or worried, or when dealing with one of your siblings. If you catch them in a good mood they will be much more likely to let you on Instagram. Some good times to consider are:  After dinner During a relaxing weekend. Shortly after an accomplishment, like a good report card. Many parents are uncomfortable with Instagram because they don't understand it. But Instagram is relatively simple when compared to sites like Facebook or Twitter. Users share photos with their friends, who can like or comment on them and post their own photos. There is an emphasis on photography instead of "status updates." The basics of Instagram are:  Users post and edit pictures on Instagram with built-in photo-editing software. Users can follow their friends to see their pictures on a photo reel. While you can like and comment on photos, there is no "chat-room" function on Instagram. You do not need to provide any personal information, other than a private email address, to join. Think of a reason why you want to get on Instagram. If you can show your parents how Instagram will benefit your life and creativity then they will be much more likely to let you get an account. Luckily, because Instagram is a photography site, it is easy to show your parents the benefits of the site:  You want to practice photography. You want to explore famous photographers and locations. You and your friends capture and share special moments together online. Instagram is an inherently creative app -- you get to take photos and edit the brightness, contrast, saturation, cropping, filter effects, and much more. This makes it different from other, more gossipy social media sites, and you should remind...

TL;DR in Russian:

Для регистрации в Instagram  вы должны быть не младше 13 лет. Выбирайте такое время, когда родители в хорошем настроении. Объясните родителям, что такое Instagram. Объясните, почему вы хотите зарегистрироваться в Instagram. Подчеркните творческий аспект Instagram. Рассмотрите и обсудите Советы для родителей в Instagram. Помогите родителям завести свою учетную запись. Обсуждайте, но не спорьте. Уважайте решение родителей.


In some regions, duck carcasses need an entire wing left on for identification purposes with the game warden, while other places allow you to retain the heads and entrails separately for ID. Since this affects how you'll dress out your birds, it's important to find out how they'll be checked if and when the game warden comes calling. Duck hunting regulations vary widely. In some areas, you'll only be allowed to collect a certain number of duck per day, so it's a good idea to be up-to-date on the specific regulations in your area. Federal guidelines can be found here, while local regulations can be found on the website of the Department of Natural Resources or the Hunting and Finishing bureau in your state. When you collect a duck, it'll have been floating around in pond water, rolling in the mud, and probably mouthed by your golden retriever for a couple minutes before you got to it. In other words, it's pretty dirty, and it's important to take a few minutes to clean it up a bit before packing it up or dressing it out to keep the meat from spoiling.  Clean any dirt and fecal matter from the feathers, especially around the tail of the duck. Dry it thoroughly and pack it in a cooler, or start dressing it immediately, depending on your intentions. Below 40 F, a duck carcass will be fine for 3-5 days in clean conditions, without doing anything.  Locate the shot and keep track of it. The meat around the area the pellets(s) entered will be scorched and less than tasty. You'll need to be careful to remove any shot from the carcass, and to trim away any meat around the area later, so it's a good idea to clean it out now. Letting meat dry out some will intensify the flavor in the right ways, reducing gaminess and making your duck more tasty.  In the right conditions, you can do this without dressing the bird out, or you can do it after you've skinned or dressed the bird. Either way is fine for a clean bird.  If the temperature is right, you can hang birds upside down by their feet to drain out, in a shed or garage, as...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выясните, какие правила идентификации дичи действуют на территории вашего проживания. Немедленно промойте уток после того, как их отыщете. Утку следует выдерживать 1-2 дня при температуре не менее 5 градусов по Цельсию. Решите, будете ли вы снимать кожу или ощипывать ваших уток.


In some schools, there are rules surrounding whether or not students are expected to shower after exercise. Before doing anything to encourage a teen to shower at school after exercise, make sure that you familiarize yourself with the school’s stance on the matter. For example, though it may be common to have a “shower inspection” after gym class in some schools, other schools may prohibit such inspections. Some schools may not allow showering at all. If you are a gym teacher or a coach, you can give your students a talk about what you expect from them at the beginning of the year. If your school doesn’t prohibit you from doing so, you can tell your students that you do expect them to shower after gym class and what the consequences of not showering will be.  When you talk to your students about showering, you may want to explain that when you say shower, you don’t mean 15 minutes spent washing every inch of their body. A shower after class is simply meant to rinse off the sweat, and shouldn’t take any longer than a couple of minutes. You might also point out to students that showering in front of others may seem a bit awkward at first, but you will get used to it. Remind them that everyone feels self-conscious at first. Most students feel very nervous and awkward showering in front of others, at least at first. While this is to be expected, there are some cases where a student may have a legitimate reason why they don't want to shower in front of their peers. Whether or not you agree with this reason, it is important to listen to what the student has to say, and be sensitive when responding to these reasons.  For example, the student may have an issue with their body that makes them feel very anxious about taking off their clothes in front of others. There may even be a religious reason they feel they should not shower. Tell students that they should come talk to you in private if they have a reason that they don't want to shower. If they have a reason, then try to make alternative arrangements. For example,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выясните, какие правила относительно душа после физических нагрузок существуют в школе. Поговорите с учениками о своих ожиданиях. Отнеситесь с пониманием к причинам, по которым ученик может отказываться от душа. Объясните, чем опасно отсутствие ухода за собой. Выясните, хватает ли ученикам времени на душ. Подумайте об альтернативах душу.


In some situations, cutting might be a symptom of another issue such as depression, anxiety, or other psychological disorder. Cutting often gains the person a sense of relief from intense feelings such as anger, guilt, anxiety, isolation, grief, or hopelessness. It can also be seen as an expression of those feelings and pain. Other reasons that people cut include a need for control over your body, especially when you feel out of control. Some people self-harm to feel something when feeling numb. Others do it as a response to trauma or other issues like anxiety and depression. If you have trouble breaking the cycle of cutting through coping techniques or other methods, you might need professional help to change the situation. A counselor, clinical psychologist, or psychiatrist will talk to you about why you're harming yourself and they will talk with you about what you're feeling and how to change your behaviors in relation to these behaviors.  Consider going to group therapy, where you'll be able to see that there are other people struggling with the same issue. If you're a minor, tell your parent or guardian that you need to see a mental health professional as soon as possible. Emphasize that this is an emergency. If you're an adult and have health insurance, call your primary care physician as soon as possible and ask for a referral to a therapist or psychologist who specializes in self-harm. If you're not insured, investigate free or low-cost mental health clinics in your area, or ask a member of your clergy for help if you are religious. If you've harmed yourself to the point of severe injury, you need to seek medical help immediately. Severe injury is any cut that that bled for more than 10 minutes, a cut that won’t stop bleeding, or a scenario where you accidentally or intentionally nicked a major vein or artery. You should also seek help immediately if you are having thoughts of suicide. Self-harm is not the same as suicide but the two are often mistaken for each other. A major difference is the intent...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите основную причину. Поговорите с профессионалом. Обратитесь за немедленной помощью. Знайте различия.


In some situations, home remedies may not be enough to treat your kidney stone pain. In these situations, you will need to call your doctor right away. If you go to the emergency room, they will run urine tests and send you for an abdominal ultrasound or CT to determine if you have kidney stones. Call your doctor if you experience:  severe pain around your abdomen, sides, groin, or genitals bloody urine a burning sensation when you urinate nausea and/or vomiting fever and chills flank pain that radiates to your groin If home remedies do not provide enough pain relief, then you may want to ask your doctor about proscription pain relievers to help you cope with the pain of passing a kidney stone. Even if you are already on a prescription pain reliever, if you are still in pain, then let your doctor know. You may need a higher dosage or a more powerful medication. If you pass the kidney stone while you are at home, then you should save it and bring it to your doctor for analysis. Having your kidney stone analyzed will enable your doctor to determine what type of kidney stone it was and make recommendations about how to prevent another kidney stone in the future.  There are many types of kidney stones, including calcium stones, uric acid stones, struvite stones, a cystine stones.

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвоните врачу, если у вас тяжелые симптомы или сильная боль. Спросите о рецептурных обезболивающих. Сохраните камень, когда он пройдет.


In some situations, it may be necessary for you to seek treatment right away. You can try home treatments for a few days, but you will need to see a doctor if your condition does not improve after a few days. Call your doctor if you notice:  Thick and/or greenish-yellow phlegm Wheezing or whistling sound at the beginning or end of each breath Any odd sounding cough (not just wheezing) and difficulty with breathing at the end of a cough A fever of more than 104°F (38°C) Shortness of breath In some cases, a cough may present with other symptoms that require immediate medical treatment. Go to an emergency room if you experience:  Choking Difficulty breathing or swallowing Blood in your phlegm or pink-tinged phlegm There are several prescription and over-the-counter medicines available that may help to relieve your wheezing cough. Make sure that you check with your doctor before taking anything because the medicine you need will depend on the cause of your cough.  Some common medicines for different types of coughs include:  Antihistamines — May be recommended for a cough brought on by allergies. Cough suppressants — May be helpful for a cough due to the common cold. Decongestants — May be helpful for a cough with sinus congestion. Expectorants — May be helpful if you have lots of thick mucus that you cannot cough up. Bronchodilators/Inhaled Beta Agonists — May be helpful if you have a cough that is due to asthma.

Вовремя обратитесь за медицинской помощью. Обратитесь в отделение неотложной помощи, если у вас возникнут тяжелые симптомы. Спросите врача о лекарствах от кашля.


In some social events, it's a bad idea to skip out. An event for work or school, for example, could help you make connections. If your career or relationships with colleagues depend on an event, you should make an effort to attend.  For example, look at events like a boss's birthday party or a mixer with members of your graduate program. These events allow you to make connections and keep up good relationships at work and school. It's probably a bad idea to miss such events. However, other events are low-key. If your friends are having a bowling night, for example, it won't hurt your career to skip out. Consider the feelings of other people involved. Is anyone counting on you to go? Did you make a strong commitment to an event? How disappointed will people be if you don't show up?  For example, your friend may be hurt if you skip their birthday party. Friends may also be hurt if you made a strong commitment to something. If you and your friends have been planning a camping trip for months, for example, it may be a bad idea to skip it at the last minute. Social events that are less important can usually be avoided without too much trouble. For example, if your friends have a movie night every week it's unlikely anyone will feel too bad if you stay at home one day. People tend to be happier when they have meaningful interactions with others over small talk. An event may be more worth your while if you're going to have interactions that matter there.  If you're very close to some of the people attending, you're more likely to have meaningful interactions that will help you feel refreshed upon leaving. However, if it's mostly strangers and acquaintances, you may not have as much fun. Be honest about whether you can afford to go out. Think about how much money you'll be spending and consider other expenses you have for the month or week. If your budget is looking tight, stay in the for the night and save some money. If you want to go out even though money is tight, try limiting how much you spend. Bring cash...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, что поставлено на кон. Подумайте, насколько важно ваше присутствие для других. Подумайте, какое там будет общение. Обратите внимание на свое финансовое положение.


In some states, you can get 5 or 10 cents per can or bottle by returning them to a deposit center. There are many ways to take advantage of this opportunity:  Scrounge up all of the cans and bottles you can find around your home. Look for cans and bottles in trash cans, along busy roads, and anywhere that people hang out (parks, stadiums, etc.). If you've got a big pile of scrap in your backyard, own a junked camper or other vehicle, or know of a dump site where you can legally salvage materials, you can sort and sell it to a scrap yard or recycling center in your area. Metals such as scrap steel, copper, or aluminum can fetch good prices. If your state doesn’t have a can/bottle refund system, you can still sell aluminum cans to a scrap yard. Computers are full of valuable metals such as steel, aluminum, and gold. If you dismantle old computers, you can sort these metals and sell them to a salvage yard, or you may be able to find buyers who will accept the old computer as is and scrap it themselves.  If possible, get several computers to scrap to make it worth your while. For instance, offer to take outdated computers from a school doing upgrades or find junked computers. Don’t scrap good, working computers; what you get for the scrap won’t be as much as you could get by selling the components or the entire device.

TL;DR in Russian:

Получите деньги за собранные бутылки и банки. Получите деньги за металлолом. Получите деньги за ценные металлы, извлеченные из старых компьютеров.


In spite of some popular myths, shaving does not cause your hair to grow faster or thicker. The fastest way to grow a beard or mustache is to leave it alone. Shaving means you’re starting with nothing again. Let your hair grow on its own for at least 4 weeks.  Keep in mind that everyone’s hair grows at a different rate. After the initial growth, you will probably end up feeling like it comes in much quicker after that. New growth feels itchy at first, but don’t trim your hair yet. Instead, care for it by washing it, combing it, and using a conditioner made from jojoba or argan oil. Oil, dirt, and dead skin build up into a thick barricade your hair follicles struggle to break through. To prevent this, use a mild cleanser and warm water to clean your face. You can do this while you’re in the shower. Clean facial hair looks softer and bushier, and it may also help if your hair seems to be growing in too slowly.  Try washing your face when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night. A gentle store-bought facial cleanser is better than standard soap, which can be abrasive and cause skin irritation. Consider using an exfoliating cleanser twice a week to help clear out the dead skin cells. Rub on a light moisturizer to keep your skin well-hydrated. Add it while your skin is still damp. Good moisturizers keep your skin and hair healthy as well as protected from irritation. It both improve your existing facial hair as well as removes debris that could slow down its growth.  A good moisturizer can help even after you grow out your facial hair. Continue using it to prevent inflammation and breakouts. Try using a natural moisturizer made with an essential oil like eucalyptus. That kind of product can provide extra benefits due to how much essential oils help with facial hair growth. Use a beard comb made from something soft, such as boar’s hair. Brush your hair out in the morning. Regular brushing makes facial hair appear thicker and fuller. It is also great for covering up patchy spots. Look for...

In spite of what you may think, your face really is the first thing your boyfriend notices, so keep up a sexy appearance and the rest will follow.  If you feel comfortable wearing makeup, put on just enough to give your eyes a smoky look and your lips a nice luscious tint. Give your boyfriend sexy glances. Just the look in your eyes can let him know how you really feel about him. Knowing that you have it on can make you feel sexy, or showing your man a hint of what you have planned for later can make him excited for the rest of your night. Some sexy items include:  A thong, lacy underwear, a push up bra, pearls, a corset, knee-high socks, or spandex. Avoid any uncomfortable fabrics that can lead to chafing, which is the opposite of sexy. You don't need to always wear designer thongs or teddies. As long as you wear something out of the norm that shows more skin, your man will think it's sexy that you're wearing it for his benefit. Don't wear anything so elaborate that it will be impossible to remove. This may lead to frustration and other mishaps in the bedroom. If your clothes are revealing more than they're hiding, your boyfriend will be embarrassed to be seen with you instead of turned on.  Make sure your dresses and skirts are like a good story--short enough to keep things interesting, but long enough to cover everything. It's good to show a little cleavage, but not so much that most of your chest is exposed. Showing a little bit of bra strap can be sexy, but exposing your entire bra is too much. Care for your other extremities so your man will be even more excited by you.  Take care of your hands and fingernails so your man will be turned on when he holds them. Keep your feet nice and fresh so you smell sexy in the bedroom.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сексуальное лицо. Носите белье, в котором вы чувствуете себя и ведете сексуально. Не усложняйте. Выглядите провокационно, но не дешево. Ваши ноги и руки тоже должны быть сексуальными.


In springtime, most gardening centers and nurseries carry flats of of impatiens seedlings in a variety of colors, making it easy to pick up a few trays of your favorites. Buy impatiens in one color or mix and match so you can create a colorful pattern in your garden.  There are three common varieties of impatiens that each come in slightly different colors and have different petal sizes. The Tom Thumb varieties have large, bold-colored flowers; the Super Elfin varieties have pastel colored-flowers; and the Swirl varieties have orange and red colors with swirled patterns on the petals.  It's quite easy to plant impatiens seedlings, but you can also choose to start them from seed if you'd like. You'll need to sow the seeds in seed starting mix in January to get them ready for spring planting. Press the seeds lightly into the mix and keep the the seed trays moist and around 70 °F (21 °C). Impatiens wither quickly when they don't get enough water. Whether you purchase seedlings or start your impatiens from seed, you'll need to make sure they stay moist until you're ready to set them out in pots or plant them in the ground. If you keep your potted seedlings outside, do not put them in direct sunlight, as this could dry out the small pots quickly. Impatiens do equally well in pots, planters and garden beds. They like shady spots, so choose an area that has partial shade throughout the day. Make sure the soil is moist but well-drained, since impatiens can get mildew if they spend time in standing water.  Impatiens grow best in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11. This includes parts of the southern and southwestern United States. To determine whether an area drains well, take a look at the spot after a heavy rain. If you see standing water and puddles, you'll need to add peat or another mix into the soil to help it drain better. You may also want to try re-directing rainwater flowing into the area. If the water gets absorbed, it should be a fine spot for planting. Impatiens should not be set into the ground or planted in...

In tennis, one person starts the first serve of the game. Most players choose by flipping a coin, and in most cases, the person who doesn't serve gets to choose which side of the court to play on. The server keeps serving until the game ends. For the next game, the other player will serve. The game starts with both players on the baseline. The server chooses a corner of the baseline to serve from, and the other player positions themselves on the opposite back corner. So if you serve from the right corner of your side of the court, your opponent will stand in the far left corner from your point of view. You should be standing facing the opposite corner. Keep one foot slightly above the baseline and the other about 45 centimetres (18 in) away inside the court. There isn't a required way to hold the racquet as long as your hand is around the handle. Grip the racquet firmly in your dominant hand and hold it out with your arm extended, until the head of the racquet is roughly parallel with your head. When you aren't serving, you can hold the racquet with both hands. Usually, the dominant hand will grip the top of the handle with the other hand at the bottom, but there's no required position as long as you keep your hand or hands on the handle only. If you're serving, toss the tennis ball into the air towards your racquet. It's okay to toss the ball around a few times without using your racquet or to bounce it on the court before beginning your official serve. Get used to the ball and how it handles before you serve.  If you want to do a practice toss, don't hit it with your racquet. This counts as a fault, which could give your opponent a point! Save practice hits for non-game times. If you aren't serving, continue holding your racquet and waiting. When the ball approaches the head of your racquet, strike it hard diagonally towards the other player's service area. Aim towards the section of the service area closes to them. The idea is to force the ball to bounce once before they can return the serve.  If the ball...

In terms of format, an informal blurb is similar to a professional bio. The key difference is language. In an informal description, showcase your personality with humor, quirks, and colorful words. Unlike formal writing, you can use contractions, exclamation points, and other informal elements in a blurb. However, you should still ensure your writing is grammatically correct and avoid using slang, such as “gotta” or “woulda.” As you would in a formal bio, write who you are and share key information about yourself. See if there are guidelines on whether you should write in the first or third person. If it’s up to you, go with whichever you find more natural. Keep it mind it’s usually better to write in the first person on social media profiles. You could write, “Jacqueline Page is a coach and motivational speaker with over 10 years of experience. She loves helping her clients to live their best lives. When she’s not inspiring others, you can find her cuddling her 2 cats or hiking with her husband, Dan.” Include interests, hobbies, or other details that help readers get to know you. You could write about your pets or family, bring up a special talent, or mention an experience related to the blurb’s purpose. If you’re writing an author’s blurb for an article you wrote about cooking, you could include a detail like, “I fell in love with cooking when my grandmother began teaching me her old family recipes. From then on, I realized that food is all about family, history, and tradition.” You’re not writing an essay or personal memoir, so try to keep your blurb brief. In most cases, a short paragraph of 3 to 5 sentences or around 100 to 200 words should be enough for you to sketch out key details. If you’re not sure about the right length, see if there are guidelines, or check for past examples to use as templates. For instance, if you published a magazine article and need to write a blurb, use other authors’ blurbs as examples.

In the Army, soldiers who pass basic marksmanship are expected to hold their rifle steady enough to keep the front sighting post straight even if a hammer falls on the barrel. By mastering these fundamentals of basic steadying technique, you should be able to hold your sights that steady in any position.  Practice different positions to find what works best and is most comfortable for you. The seated position, comfortable for some, is uncomfortable for shooters with bad hips. If you're right-handed, your "firing hand" will be your right hand and your "non-firing hand" will be your left hand, and vice versa. However, eye dominance also plays a factor. Generally, with shoulder-fired weapons, you line up on the side of the dominant eye. This is even true for cross-dominant shooters — people who are left or right handed and dominant in the opposite eye. The rifle's hand guard should rest in the "V" created by your thumb and forefingers. The grip should be light, like a bad handshake, and the wrist should be straight with the fingers curled naturally around the handguard.  The non-firing hand should keep the rifle steady as the non-shooting hand in basketball should steady the ball. Most of the support of the rifle should come from your firing hand and your position, but the non-firing hand is for steadiness. Take precaution to always keep this hand clear of the rifle's action and ejected shells. Make sure the butt is steadied against your shoulder, not the fleshy part of your armpit beneath it, or on your collarbone. Keeping it firmly in this pocket allows the recoil to be absorbed by your whole body, rather than snapping back into your shoulder, making for a painful and inaccurate shot. Depending on the kind of rifle you're firing, you'll be gripping either a full pistol grip or a tapered shotgun-style grip. Regardless, your grip on it should be more firm than your non-firing hand, more like a business handshake. There should be some backward pull on the grip, pulling the rifle back firmly into your shoulder....

In the GTA V stock market, each stock has a similar rival stock; destroying that rival's property or causing chaos at that rival's venue will cause their stock to lower, thus increasing their competitor's stock. The competition pairings are as follows:  Coolbeans | BeanMachine Burgershot | Up-An-Atom Clucking Bell | TacoBomb FlyUS | AirEmu GoPostal | PostOP Bilkington | DollarPills Pißwasser | Logger MazeBank | BankOfLiberty Redwood | Debonaire Slaughter, Slaughter & Slaughter | Bullhead RadioLosSantos | WorldwideFM eCola | Raine For example, if your preferred in-game drink is eCola, attack every eCola delivery truck that you see. This becomes difficult for certain location-based vendors, though going to the vendor's location and attacking standers-by there may work. Once the stock for the brand that you've been harassing goes down in price, you can proceed with this method—or harass them more to cause the stock to fall further. Changes to a company's value may take a day or two of in-game time to reflect on the stock market. With your chosen company successfully disrupted, the stock should be significantly cheaper than it was before, allowing you to buy a fair amount of stock in the company. The price of the stock will depend heavily upon the brand, the amount of damage done, and the current market in-game. In the case of eCola, this would be Raine; simply find the corresponding competition and repeat your mayhem-inducing actions for them. As you cause problems for the competitor, your invested stock should begin to rise again. Keep harassing the competition until you've made a profit, then repeat this process as much as you like. This is not the most lucrative use of the stock market in GTA V, but it is a good way to begin making some extra side cash early on in the game.

In the Internet, Setup, or Home menu of your router, check that your Internet IP address, DCHP, and DNS settings are all set. These should typically be set to automatic unless your service provider informs you otherwise. Many routers will provide a test button on the Internet menu page. Click it to check if your internet settings are configured correctly. This menu may be called Wireless, Wireless Settings, Basic Setup, or something similar. This page will display your wireless SSID, channel, encryption, and other settings. Find the field labeled SSID. This is the name of your network, and it will appear in the list of available networks for your wireless devices. Be sure to not put any personal information in your network name, as the name will be public.  Make sure that the “Enable SSID Broadcast” box is checked. The Channel should be set to Auto. If you have a lot of wireless networks in your area, your router will automatically move the network to a clean channel. This can also be called the Security Options. Here you’ll be able to choose which method you want to use to encrypt your network traffic. The options for most routers are WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK. WPA2 is the most secure mode of encryption, and you should use it if all of your devices support it. Only older devices do not support WPA2. The passphrase is what you enter when a device connects to your network. A strong passphrase will help protect your network from unwanted intruders. You should always have a passphrase for your network. Once you have chosen your SSID, encryption type, and passphrase, click the Apply or Save button to start your wireless network. Your router will process for a few seconds, and then your wireless network will be detectable by your wireless devices.

In the U.S. an HSA permits you to set aside money for medical expenses tax-free.  The money is not federally taxed upon deposit or withdrawal when used for qualified medical expenses (as determined by federal regulations).  More like a savings account than insurance, the account is portable -- it is yours to keep through job changes and the like. Only persons enrolled in High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP), as defined by federal code, can contribute to an HSA, but you can still keep and use the funds even if you no longer are in a HDHP. There are also annual contribution limits for HSAs. In the U.S., this information is available through the IRS. You can make withdrawals from your account that are tax free as long as they are used to pay for medical services on this list. Also keep up on the eligibility requirements of HDHPs and contribution limits for HSAs.  These can vary year-to-year.  Check the IRS for this information as well. The doctor's visit and any prescribed treatment or medication is a basis for a tax-free withdrawal from this account. Most health savings accounts provide a branded debit card (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) that works just like any other debit card but is linked specifically to the HSA funds. Some health savings accounts may still provide checks that are linked to your account.  Keep close track of your account balance if writing checks, because you could be subject to penalties for insufficient funds, returned checks, etc. This process is similar to submitting a traditional health insurance claim.  Check your HSA provider for details on claim forms, providing receipts, and so on.  Use this process if you forget your HSA debit card, discover after the fact that you paid for a qualified medical expense out-of-pocket, are unsure at the time if the expense is a QME, or have insufficient HSA funds to cover a QME at time of payment. Whether using a card, check, or reimbursement form, any money withdrawn for non-QMEs will be subject to income taxes and incur a 20 percent penalty. This penalty...

In the U.S., it is generally legal to use a hidden camera to record footage without a person's consent--provided that you are filming in public or within your own home. Many states have passed laws against filming people in spaces where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as bathrooms or personal bedrooms.  It is generally legal to use a hidden camera in the workplace, as long your filming pertains to a business concern. Don't film someone at work without their consent in order to settle a personal dispute--unless you're ready to risk legal consequences.  Laws vary between states and countries. Research the laws for your area before you record audio or video of anyone without their express consent. If you are planning to distribute the footage, sell the footage, or use it in court, then it is extremely important that you follow the law. If you are only planning to use the footage for personal entertainment purposes, you may not need to worry so much. Run a web search for "free webcam recording program" and install the software onto your computer. You may be able to use Windows Movie Maker or iVideo, if these are already installed on your computer. Search the Start menu (bottom left-hand corner of the Windows desktop) to figure out whether you have a program installed. When you leave the room, or when you are ready to start recording, boot up the recording software and click "Record". Cover up the USB cord with something so that it isn't obviously running to the hidden camera. Books, papers, or a jacket will do--anything that looks natural. Be subtle; only do this if you typically keep a webcam next to your computer.  Keep in mind that while this may be a more straightforward approach, the snooper may be more suspicious if they notice a camera point at them--even if they don't think that it's turned on. Be sure to turn off, cover, or disable the LED light that shows that your webcam is running. The "recording" light may tip off a snooper that they are being filmed. If the screen is open and the...

In the U.S., some energy drinks are marketed as “dietary supplements,” which places them beyond the regulatory purview of the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  This means, among other things, that the manufacturers do not have to disclose an ingredient list or nutrition facts on the beverage packaging.  If you drink one of these beverages, then, you really have no idea what exactly you are putting into your body. Fortunately for consumers, about 95% of energy drinks (including the most popular brands) are now marketed as beverages and not dietary supplements, which places them under the purview of the FDA and requires ingredient and nutritional labeling.  Of course, it is up to you to actually read the labeling, decipher what exactly is in your drink (and how much), and keep track of how much caffeine and other ingredients you are consuming per day. According to the website of the world's best known energy drink, practically any time is a good time to use their beverage.  You could / should use it while driving, studying, working, playing sports, playing video games, and partying day or night.  Buried a bit deeper within the website, however, you will find some more practical recommendations, such as keeping your daily caffeine intake to no more than 400 mg (or five cans of this particular drink) per day as a healthy adult.  It also advises against consumption by the caffeine-sensitive, and limited intake by pregnant or nursing women and children.  It additionally provides a complete ingredient list.  Find out as much information about the drink you wish to consume, and consult the manufacturer's recommendations, but use third-party, scientifically-grounded advice to determine if you should consume the drink (and if so, how much). Despite popular perception, caffeine is not technically an addictive substance, although you may experience some minor withdrawal symptoms for a day or two if you go “cold turkey” on a heavy caffeine habit.  In moderation, caffeine is safe for most people, but in high...

In the U.S., the most common venomous snakes are pit vipers. These snakes have large, triangular heads that are widest at the base and significantly wider than the neck. They also have a pit on their faces between the eye and nostril, which senses heat and makes it easier for them to locate their prey. To spot a pit viper, look for a triangular head shape, a pit on the face, and vertical, cat-like pupils.   Pit vipers are also found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and across the Americas. Pit viper species found in North America include a variety of rattlesnakes as well as water moccasins (also known as cottonmouth snakes). Rattlesnakes are a type of pit viper, and the most common type of venomous snake in the Americas. Aside from their triangular heads and heavy bodies, their most distinguishing feature is the rattle on the end of their tails. In some cases they may have only a button (a single rattle segment) or a squared-off tail if they have lost their rattle. It is also helpful to learn the different colors and patterns associated with different rattlesnake species. For example, diamondback rattlesnakes, as their name suggests, have a distinctive diamond pattern along their backs. Coral snakes are a type of brightly colored venomous snake found in the Americas and some parts of Asia and the Pacific. These snakes are not pit vipers—they have small, slightly rounded heads and their eyes have round pupils. While their colors and patterns vary, you can typically identify them by looking for bright red, yellow, and black bands.  If you live in the Southeastern U.S., you might have heard the saying “Red touch yellow, kill a fellow. Red touch black, a friend of jack.” This is a useful rhyme for remembering the difference between venomous coral snakes and harmless king snakes—king snakes do not have bands of red and yellow together. However, there are other non-venomous snakes with touching red and yellow bands, so this little rhyme is not always reliable. If you live or travel in Sub-Saharan Africa, you might...

In the US, each state has different laws and regulations regarding home-school. Generally speaking, New England has the most stringent requirements. Before you jump in, research your state's laws and give them the required notice, in addition to making a checklist of future deadlines for yourself (if applicable).   Since home educators have a personal investment in ensuring they understand the homeschooling laws correctly, local support groups are often the best resource to steer you to the most accurate legal information in your area. Be advised that the legal requirements for home educators vary by country, state, and even sometimes by school district, so a bit of research will be required. HSLDA and A to Z Home’s Cool provide useful guides to what it means to home-educate legally (see external links below). You may be required to keep a portfolio of your children's work. It is very important to do this from day one if required by your state. Depending on your take of "homeschooling," the amount of money you'll be investing in your child can vary greatly. The job can be done with $300 or it can be done with $2,500. It all depends on what supplies you'll be using and activities you plan on doing.  Activities, unfortunately, aren't always free. In order to get the best of the world (and learn more while they're at it), you could supplement their lessons with trips to planetariums, art exhibits, lectures, showcases, nature preserves and the like -- but these things can cost money. For the record, those two figures mentioned above represent the ends of the average home-schooling spectrum. Get them involved in some kind of sport or other activity that they like; your child will need social interaction and time spent away from home. Don't force them to do anything, but don't let them give up too easily, either. These activities get children to socialize and also teach important life skills such as making friends and keeping commitments.  Homeschooling your child will not "ruin" them. As long as you make sure...
