Keep it to casual glances, or he might get freaked out. When he catches your eye, smile sweetly and turn back to what you were doing. If you sit and stare at him all day, he'll think you're a little obsessive. When you do talk to him, though, be confident enough to look him right in the eye instead of staring at the ground, and he'll be impressed by how you handle yourself. Change for a dollar. Or ask what time it is, like if you might be late to a class or whatnot. Ask if he knows any of the people running for student office. Something simple, no big deal. If you're talking to him, it's okay to avert your gaze every once in a while. Staring into his eyes during the entire conversation may be a little intense. This does not mean you should ruthlessly flirt with his friends until they can't help but notice you. It does mean that you should act cool and fun around his friends, and try to get to know them a bit. Flirting a little bit with other guys is okay and will keep your crush on his toes, but if you go overboard, the guys may get the wrong impression of you. Instead, be kind and interested, ask his friends about their favorite sports teams or weekend plans, and just try to act cool without making it obvious that you really like their friend.  If his friends notice you and like you, then they may talk about you in front of the guy, which will make him notice you more. If you become friends with his friends, they may even invite you out to parties, which will make it more likely for you to hang out with the guy. Resist the urge to send friends to ask if he likes you. He will think that you're trying to force a relationship. This will get right back to him and he will not think it's cool. Even asking the friends about how he's doing or what he's up to will basically reveal that you have a crush on the guy. If the guy is in your orbit but not talking to you, don't spend your time looking sad or bored and waiting for him to come up to you. Instead, enjoy the people you're hanging out with, laugh, tell funny...

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите зрительный контакт. Попробуйте завязать разговор. Попробуйте сделать так, чтобы его друзья вас заметили. Покажите ему, что с вами весело! Будьте собой. Не говорите глупости. Не будьте чересчур ревнивой. Спросите парня, чем он интересуется.


Keep lights dim an hour before bedtime, and turn off all overhead lights, night lights, and lamps when you go to bed. Any bright light (not just electronic devices' screens) can trick your body into thinking it's too early in the day for sleep.  If you want to read or write before bed, try using a small book light rather than a desktop lamp or overhead light. Bluish light can keep you awake, so go for a bulb that gives off a warm glow. Red light bulbs are a great choice.  If you have a bright clock, use the dimmer option to lower the brightness of the screen. Additionally, turn it away from the bed so you won't be tempted to check the time. If you can, keep noise in and around your room to a minimum at night. For example, if you have an old-fashioned clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at a low volume while you are trying to sleep. Lowering your core body temperature helps induce sleep, so try lowering your thermostat. Setting the temperature between 60° and 70° F (15.5°-21° C) could do the trick. Set it low enough that it feels cooler than room temperature, but not so low that you're shivering. Ideally, you want to sleep so that your neck is in a straight line with your hips. Try placing a pillow between your knees to keep your hips in a neutral position. If necessary, buy new pillows if your current ones aren't keeping you comfortable and aligned.  Try to sleep on your back or side. These positions are best for your spine and can offer more restful sleep. Sleeping on your back or spine also keeps your airways open, which can help alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea.  If sleep apnea is preventing you from getting a full night's sleep, talk to your doctor. They may recommend a sleep study for you to see if you need a CPAP machine. It's tough to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other annoying sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Создайте в комнате полумрак. Сведите к минимуму отвлекающие шумы. Проветрите или охладите комнату. Взбейте подушки и разместите их так, чтобы тело во время сна поддерживалось в правильном положении. Попробуйте купить генератор белого шума. Купите удобный матрас и новое постельное белье. Почитайте в постели, если не можете уснуть.


Keep lists of needs that will require a trip and try to accomplish multiple objectives with each. This will not increase your fuel mileage (the number of miles your car moves for each gallon of gas), but it will help you drive less (which, in turn, means you use less gas). Take the route with the fewest stops and turns and least traffic. Take highways in preference to city streets when possible. Put it in a spreadsheet.  It will keep you focused, and other methods are inaccurate; you will never know for sure if you're saving fuel, wasting fuel or just seeing errors from gas pumps that stop pumping at different points, or fractions of miles being dropped off your 'trip' odometer when you reset it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Планируйте поездки. Тщательно продумывайте маршрут. Ведите учет, сколько вы проехали на каждом баке.


Keep mixing them until they are evenly combined. There should be no streaks or swirls of condensed milk visible. The all-purpose cream must be chilled so that it is thick. If it is too warm, it will be too oozy and not allow the fruit cocktail to "float." If you need to, break or cut the crackers along the perforated lines so that they fit. The entire bottom of the pan should be covered. Save the remaining graham crackers for further layers. Take a graham cracker, and crumble it until it resembles a coarse grain—sort of like sand or coffee grounds. Use this to fill in any cracks between the larger graham crackers. Use a rubber spatula to scoop up a generous amount of the cream mixture, and spread it across the graham crackers. The cream mixture should be thick, sort of like custard or pudding. If it is too thin and oozy, cover it with plastic wrap and put it into the fridge for about 15 minutes. If you are using a clear pan, be sure to push some of the fruits right up against the sides. Remember to fill in the spaces between the graham crackers with more crushed graham crackers. If you still have lots of ingredients left over, you can repeat the layers in your pan until you have none left. You can also fill up a second pan. A popular garnish is to crush graham crackers into a fine crumble (like coarse sand or coffee grounds), and them spread them across the top of the cake in a grid-like fashion. Each "grid" equals on serving, and gets topped with a piece of fruit cocktail. This will allow the cream to harden up and the flavors to blend together. Slice the fruit graham with a sharp knife, and serve it with a spatula. Immediately refrigerate any leftovers.

TL;DR in Russian:

Смешайте универсальный крем со сгущенным молоком в миске. Уложите крекеры на дно квадратного блюда (20.32 см). Заполните отверстия между крекерами измельченным печеньем. Смажьте крекеры толстым слоем крема. Добавьте слой фруктового коктейля без сиропа. Повторите процесс в той же последовательности: Украсьте торт фруктами и (или) крошкой от печенья. Поставьте торт в холодильник на ночь или на 4 часа. Подавайте торт.


Keep pushing it until the glue stick is as deep as it can go. Hold it steady, if you need to. Try to glue the thinner kind of hot glue stick rather than the thicker kind. Make sure that the top/length side of the cone is facing upwards, towards the ceiling. Hold the trigger for a few moments until glue starts to come out of the nozzle. Once you see glue coming out of the tip, release the trigger and extinguish the flame. Your hot glue gun is now ready to use. Working quickly, make a line of hot glue wherever you need the glue to go. Gently push the glue stick into the nozzle to help force the glue out. At some point, you may need to heat the glue up again by igniting the lighter.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вставьте палочку клея в конус. Удерживайте зажигалку параллельно столу. Зажгите огонь и нагрейте клей. Отпустите курок. Используйте пистолет.


Keep reminding yourself that the situation is only temporary. Spend each day hitting the pavement and looking for jobs. Use the local library and bookstore not only to search for jobs, but also to become more knowledgeable in ways that will help you get through this and find a job. Search the Internet for free community voicemail services, and/or get a prepaid cell phone so employers can call you. To build your funds, consider food stamps, food banks and soup kitchens. Most importantly, talk to people like social workers and religious organization workers who will sympathize and understand, and try to help.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не теряйте оптимизма.


Keep softer natural cheeses like Gouda, Gruyère, and brie frozen for no more than 2 months. For harder cheeses and processed block cheeses, feel free to keep them frozen for up to 6 months. Refer to the date you listed on the packaging and discard the cheese if you haven’t used it up after 6 months’ time. Keep in mind that shredded cheese and any cheese produced with holes like Swiss or fissures like blue cheese may be more prone to freezer burn. Check in on them from time to time so they don’t go bad. Even if the expiration date isn’t for a while, you should consume the defrosted cheese as quickly as possible for the best results. Use it in a baked dish like pizza, lasagna, or a casserole, melt it over a burger or pan of nachos, or use it as a crumbled salad topping to retain the thawed cheese’s flavor while avoiding its mealy consistency. However you use it, be sure to finish it off within the next few days. After a 3-day period, discard any remaining thawed-out cheese that you haven’t used.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте замороженный сыр в течение 2–6 месяцев. Приготовьте или съешьте размороженный сыр в течение 2–3 дней.


Keep the affected area in particular clean and soft.  Clean off soap completely from your body and scalp. Don't use abrasive soaps or harsh chemicals. Use moisturizers. Avoid harsh soaps and use a moisturizer. Use warm water — not hot. This is one of the more difficult areas to clean and treat.  If the skin of your eyelids becomes red or scaly then you can wash them nightly with baby shampoo. Use a cotton swab to wipe away scaly skin. Apply a warm compress to soothe the skin and wipe away scaly skin as well. This is not quite the same as a full dandruff treatment, but it may help with light removal of skin particles from the hair itself.  Apply a few drops of mineral oil or olive oil directly to your scalp. Leave the drops in for one hour. Comb or brush out your hair and wash it with warm water.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно мойтесь. Очищайте веки. Удаляйте из своих волос отшелушившуюся кожу.


Keep the baking sheet in the fridge while you are making the dough. This will make the sheet cold and help the cookies set faster. Stir everything with a spoon or a spatula. Consider cutting the butter into smaller cubes; this will help it melt faster in the next steps.  If you are lactose intolerant, try using almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or lactose-free milk instead. If you don't like peanut butter, you can make chocolate hazelnut cookies instead. Start by reducing the cocoa powder to just 2 tablespoons. You can substitute chocolate hazelnut spread for the peanut butter later. This will allow the sugar to dissolve completely. You will end up with something that looks watery. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the rest of the ingredients. Keep stirring until the oats are completely covered. If you are making chocolate hazelnut cookies, use 1 cup (250 grams) of chocolate hazelnut spread instead. Once everything is mixed together, take the pot off the stove and set it down onto a heat-resistant surface. You will end up with lumpy clumps. If you want, you can press the back of the spoon against the cookies to flatten them. You can also roll the dough into small balls, and then roll the balls in a bowl filled with shredded coconut, crushed nut, or cocoa powder. You can drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the cookies to make them even yummier. You can also leave the tray in the freezer for 15 minutes instead. If you try to eat them too soon, they will get gooey and messy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Застелите противень вощеной бумагой. Смешайте сахар, молоко, масло, какао-порошок и соль в миске. Включите плиту и подогревайте смесь в течение одной минуты. Добавьте арахисовое масло, ваниль и овсяные хлопья. Отставьте миску с плиты. Используйте ложку, чтобы выложить готовое тесто на противень. Полейте готовое печенье топпингом. Поместите противень или форму для кексов в холодильник как минимум на 30 минут. Подавайте печенье, когда оно остынет и станет твердым.


Keep the base of the plant or tree clear of infected leaves that may have fallen on their own. Clear away all fallen leaves, whether they’re infected or not, since beds of dead leaves trap and retain moisture, thus creating a ripe breeding ground for the disease. Be sure to rake straight up to winter’s first snow, or even after if needed; the disease may survive the cold weather and reinfect the plant or tree when spring comes. It’s best to prune from the bottom up. Lower leaves are more likely to be infected with black spot disease, so you’ll want to start in the lower canopy. Prune back lower branches that never completely dry and leave higher ones that receive sunlight. Pruning the lower canopy is also safer – you won’t need to get to those high-up branches. Water the soil directly. Keep the leaves dry. Avoid overwatering. Allow soil to dry before watering again. Refrain from watering during rainy weather. Weed the soil to improve airflow. Apply a level amount of mulch around the base of the plant or tree, leaving a ring of free space between the mulch and the trunk. Prevent weeds from growing while improving the area’s ability to dry more thoroughly.

TL;DR in Russian:

Постоянно собирайте граблями растительный сор с поверхности почвы. Производите профилактическую обрезку нижней части листвы. Надлежащим образом поливайте растения и деревья. Следите за хорошей циркуляцией воздуха.


Keep the bedroom door open and position the fan in a corner of the room so it faces your bed. Avoid pointing the fan at your face, your back, or too close to your body. Pointing the fan at your face can cause your neck muscles to stiffen and lead to allergies or illness. Before there was AC, people would suspend ice packs, ice towels, or cooling packs in front of fans to stay cool.  To make an ice towel, hang a wet towel holding ice cubes from two chairs. Point a fan at the towel and at a wall or far away from you in the corner of the room. Place a container under the towel to catch the melting ice water. If you wake up due to heat during the night, flip your pillow over to the other side. The other side will be cooler than the side you were sleeping on, as it has not absorbed your body heat during the night. You can buy cold packs in most grocery stores. Slip a cold pack under your neck, on your forehead, or under your arms, by your armpits. Cooling down the back of your neck, your forehead, and under your arms helps cool the rest of your body down as well.  You can also make your own cold pack at home. Place three to four tablespoons of dish soap in a resealable Ziploc bag. Place it in the freezer. The soap will not harden, and it will hold the cold temperature longer than ice and/or the blue ice packs. Once you are ready to use it, place in a pillowcase or fold it in a towel and apply it to your neck or arms. Because the pack is not solid, it is versatile and comfortable on most areas of your body. You can also Make a Rice Sock. Place it in the freezer and leave it there for at least two hours. When you turn in, bring the bag with you to use as a cool compress. Try placing it under your pillow so it's nice and cool when you flip it over. If you wake up during the night due to heat, take a spray bottle and fill it with cold water. Mist your face and neck to cool down.

TL;DR in Russian:

Стимулируйте движение потока воздуха с помощью вентилятора. Сделайте «ледяное полотенце». Переверните вашу подушку на холодную сторону. Положите пакет со льдом на шею или лоб. Обрызгайте ваше лицо из пульверизатора.


Keep the big picture in mind and get to know what's normal for your dog. Make yourself familiar with how far the dog likes to walk, how it reacts when you come in from work, how sweet-tempered or grumpy it is, how much water it drinks, what its stool looks like, how often it moves its bowel a day, what the inside of its ears look like, and what its breath smells like.  For example, some dogs are greedy eaters whilst others are finicky. If your dog is usually a greedy eater, it's significant if the dog refuses its food. However, if you own a lapdog that turns its nose up at anything but best steak, then refusing a bowl of food it less of a worry. If you know all of these things like the back of your hand, you are ideally placed to spot changes that could indicate the dog is unwell. Dogs experience emotions, such as grief, depression, boredom, and frustration. The trick as an owner is to recognize these emotions. Most commonly, the first sign to be aware of is a change in behavior or body language.  For example, be suspicious when the outgoing dog who is always at the door to greet you becomes withdrawn and does not get out of its bed when you return home. Pay attention to your dog's usual body language. Is it holding its ears or tail lower than normal or is it shying away or taking a dominant stance when approached? These are body language signs that there could be something wrong.  A hint that your dog is bored or frustrated includes destructive behavior, digging, whining, barking, and crying. In this case, the dog is adopting a displacement activity, such as chewing the furniture, as an outlet for his frustration. Many dogs are capable of expressing emotions, such as depression, on their faces. If your dog doesn't usually have doleful looking eyes or sad expressions, but suddenly does, then it is probably an expression of the dog's current emotions. Physical changes could be symptomatic of mental stress or depression. For instance, pay attention if your dog stops grooming itself. Depressed or sick animals...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, что считается нормой для вашей собаки. Оцените эмоциональное состояние питомца через его поведение и язык тела. Обращайте внимание на выражение морды собаки. Внимательно отнеситесь к любым физическим переменам в вашем питомце. Примите меры по устранению потенциальных причин недовольства вашей собаки.


Keep the cat inside to let him rest and prevent further trauma to his injuries. Try putting your cat in a small room (like a bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room). This way, you can easily find him, check on the injury, and administer medications. Cats that are sick or injured often prefer to be away from children, other pets and a lot of noise or activity. You'll need to pay attention to your cat’s appetite, water intake and litter box habits. Tail injuries can sometimes affect bladder or bowel functions. If your cat is leaking urine or feces or not urinating or defecating at all, he could have nerve damage affecting these functions. If you notice these problems continuing, talk to your vet. The vet may need to test your cat's urine for infection and adjust any medications. It's easiest to remember if you give medications on a schedule. You'll probably need to give antibiotics to prevent infections for any open wounds. Only give pain medication if your vet instructs you and gives a prescription. Never give over-the-counter pain medications. Many of these, like aspirin, or tylenol, are very dangerous to give to cats. They can have severe, even fatal, side effects in cats. Check the wound at least once a day. Your cat may soil himself with urine or feces since it may be too painful to lift his tail or if there's nerve damage. Sometimes wounds will have crusted blood, discharge, hair, litter, or other debris stuck to or around them. You may need to clean the wounds gently with lukewarm water or very diluted betadine or chlorhexidine solutions, and some gauze or a washcloth. Tail wounds usually don't need to be bandaged. Don't use soap and peroxide since they're irritating and damaging to tissues. If you see dry scabs, remember that they're good and don't scrub or pull them off. Whether or not you take your cat to the vet you will want to monitor the injury (or surgery) site very carefully. Don't let your cat lick any wounds. While there are some compounds in saliva that can help heal wounds, excessive licking can...

Keep the frozen foods chilled while they thaw so they do not develop harmful bacteria. Meat in the fridge is safe to use 1 to 2 days after it’s completely thawed or it can be refrozen if you end up not using it.  Larger meats will require more time to thaw in the fridge. For example, a large frozen turkey should be thawed in the fridge for 24 hours for every 5 pounds (2.3 kg) it weighs. You can also thaw meat in a sink filled with cold water. Put the meat in a water-tight bag and fully submerge it in the sink. Change the water every 30 minutes as it starts to warm up. Meat thawed this way needs to be cooked immediately. Never thaw foods at room temperature or else harmful bacteria could form. Once the meat is thawed, put the marinade in a resealable plastic bag along with your meat and leave it in the fridge. Not only will it help tenderize your meat, but the meat will absorb the flavors and make your meat tastier.  Marinating for longer than 12 hours can make your meat too mushy or stringy once it’s time to cook it.  Marinades can be made with balsamic vinegar, red wine, or any liquid with herbs and spices. Keep the meat on a baking tray or in a bag so you don’t contaminate your countertops. Meat that’s too cold will cook unevenly and make it overdone on the outside while it’s undercooked on the inside. Hold the bit of fat with your non-dominant hand and pull it away from the meat until it’s taut. Cut with a chef’s knife where the fat meets the meat with a slow slicing motion. Tilt the knife towards the fat as you cut so you don’t remove portions of good meat.  Remove small strips at a time so you have the most control. Leave some fat on the meat. The fat will render as you cook it and make your meat more flavorful. Cook meat like venison, buffalo, or chicken for lower fat content. Add the seasonings right before you plan on cooking the meat. Sprinkle ¾ tsp (4 g) of salt and pepper per 1 lb (0.45 kg) and rub it in so the meat absorbs the flavor as it cooks. Add other spices and herbs if you want a more...

TL;DR in Russian:

Размораживайте замороженное мясо в холодильнике в течение 24 часов. Маринуйте мясо не дольше 12 часов для дополнительного аромата. Достаньте мясо из холодильника хотя бы за 15–30 минут до того, как готовить его. Обрежьте ножом лишний жир. Приправьте мясо солью и перцем.


Keep the gloves on at all times to protect your hands. They will protect you in case any of the tools slip when in use. Also, put on polycarbonate protective glasses or goggles to shield your eyes from metal fragments. Rotary tools have detachable heads. You can swap out the heads with 1 of many different accessories. For cutting screws, you want a flat wheel designed to cut through metal. Fit it onto the rotary tool according to the manufacturer's instructions. Test the wheel by turning on the rotary tool. The wheel should spin freely at a consistent speed. Keep your biggest flat blade screwdriver nearby to use as a point of comparison. Tip the rotary tool so the edge of the wheel is over the screw head. Lower the tool down to begin cutting into the screw. Work slowly and carefully to widen the cut to the size you need. An ideal slot creates a tight fit for the screwdriver so you can turn the screw with maximum force. Push the screwdriver head into the slot you made. Continue pushing down on the screw as you begin turning it counterclockwise. If the slot is effective, the screw will loosen and pop out.  If the slot is too small, you can widen it with the rotary tool. If the slot is too big, you may not be able to remove the screw this way unless you can find a larger screwdriver. Some screws will still be rusted in place even after you cut a perfect slot. Use heat to remove them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте толстые кожаные перчатки и защитные очки. Установите на бормашину отрезной диск. Прорежьте на шляпке винта паз размером с наконечник самой крупной отвертки, которая у вас есть. Выкрутите винт отверткой.


Keep the gloves on throughout the process in case you slip and hit your hands. It will mitigate at least some of the damage. Also, rusted metal can break and splinter, so wearing polycarbonate glasses or goggles is a must. Square up the hammer so it is directly over the screw's head. Rapidly hit the head a few times to break the rust seal holding the screw in place. Use some force if you can, enough to jar the screw while still maintaining your accuracy. Keep your other hand clear from the area in case the hammer misses the screw head. Commercial rust penetrant often comes in a spray bottle, so all you need to do is point the nozzle and shoot. Spray a lot of penetrant around the screw's head. This should lubricate the head as well as allow penetrant to drip down into the screw's shaft.  You can purchase rust penetrant at most hardware and general stores. If you don't have rust penetrant on hand, you can mix your own by combining equal amounts of acetone and transmission fluid. Regular WD-40 can help, but it isn't as effective as specialty rust penetrants. Give the screw a few more solid whacks with your hammer to loosen the rust further. Afterwards, lightly hit the side of the screw head. Do this all the way around the head to prepare the screw for removal. Hitting the screw with an impact driver and hammer may also help break up any remaining rust. Use the correct type of screwdriver for the job, such as a Phillips head screwdriver for those screws with +-shaped slots. Turn the screw counterclockwise to remove it, but stop if you experience problems like the screwdriver beginning to strip the screw. You can end up making the removal more difficult if you keep going. Stop turning the screw if you feel like you can't keep the screwdriver in the screw head. The screwdriver may even slip out. This happens when the screwdriver begins stripping the screw. The gripping paste will help you keep your screwdriver in place without damaging the screw. First, place 1 teaspoon, or .17 oz (4.8 g), of a powdered cleanser in...

Keep the humidity level in your home between 30 and 50 percent. Open the windows on days when it's not humid. This will allow fresh air to circulate and inhibit mold growth. If you live in a humid climate, run a dehumidifier in the rooms most prone to moisture. These areas are already prone to humidity. Carpets can trap moisture under their surface, even without flooding or water seepage. If your basement or bathroom isn't carpeted, leave the floors bare. Use removable, washable mats to avoid slip hazards. This is a great investment if you live in a flood-prone area. Water that seeps into the basement collects in a sump basin and is pumped outside. Unless you are a licensed home improvement contractor, call a professional to install one. Choose a sump pump with the following specs:  Cast iron core Alarm that sounds when the water level gets too high Mechanical switch Submersible pump No-screen intake design Impeller that can deal with objects of 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) in diameter. When you cook, turn on the exhaust fan over the stove to catch water vapor. Use the fan in the bathroom as you shower to reduce condensation cause by steam. Even if you take cooler showers, run the exhaust fan for good measure. Let the fans in each room run until all steam has been eliminated. Install them in the basement and in closets. Clean each dehumidifier regularly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely for best results. Use a clean dry towel or a squeegee to remove any leftover water droplets. Make sure the curtain is completely dry. Do this after the last shower of the day to prevent moisture buildup. Water can pond around the foundation of your house and push moisture into the interior. Landscape the area around the foundation to slope downward and away from the foundation. Add extensions to downspouts to direct rainwater at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the foundation. Apply spray-on Icynene foam to the ceiling of your attic. The foam forms a water-tight seal as it dries. Avoid fiberglass and hard foam insulation....

TL;DR in Russian:

Keep the kittens safe by removing hazards like deep water bottles, strings, ribbons, or small toys. Doing so can keep your cat from drowning or choking. You should also take care where you put hot drinks in case curious kittens knock into them and get scalded. Plates with human food should also be removed from the kittens since they could eat food that irritates their stomachs.  Supervise any other pets (especially dogs) around the kittens and seal off places where kittens could crawl inside and become stuck. Also be careful when entering a room where the kittens are living. Kittens love to dash around in an unpredictable way and it is easy to tread on a kitten or fall over one. If you've decided not to keep the kittens, you can begin finding new homes for them as soon as they're eight weeks old. While some suggest you should wait until 12 weeks, kittens don't socialize as much by this point, making it harder for them to adapt to their new homes. This is why it's best to start looking for homes between eight and 12 weeks old. This timeframe lets the kittens spend plenty of time with their mother and allows them to accept their new homes. Look closely at their skin and fur for small black spots. You can also brush the fur and shake the brush onto a white, wet paper towel. You might see red spots (dried blood) and flea dirt (flea droppings). If the kittens or mother have fleas, ask your veterinarian to recommend a flea product designed for use in kittens. Take care to treat the mother, wait for medication to dry, and return her to the kittens. If your vet finds the kittens have roundworms passed on from mother's milk, the kittens might need to be treated with a liquid medication (fenbendazole) that is given by syringe. You can give this to kittens that are at least three weeks old. Repeat treatment every two to three weeks. You can get the kittens vaccinated once they are at least nine weeks old. Consult with the veterinarian to determine which vaccinations the kittens need. Your vet will probably recommend to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Keep the leaves and flowers facing downward. Leave for several days to dry, checking every now and then. Be sure to tie on securely in case of windy days.    After bundling, tie a paper bag around the bundle. Hang the whole bag outside. The bag will provide more protection against the sunshine. It will also catch any seeds that dry too, if you want to collect them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Срежьте травы, когда высохнет роса. Соберите их в пучок резинкой. Подвесьте растения где-нибудь на ярком месте. Сушите травы в бумажном пакете.


Keep the mint in a single layer with as little overlap as possible. Mint leaves will dry more evenly if kept in a single layer since each leaf will receive the same amount of heat as the others. Leaves that are in stacks or piles will need to be stirred during the process, and some may finish drying out well before others. Place the dehydrator tray back into the dehydrator and turn the device onto the lowest temperature setting available.  A low amount of heat is all that you need to dry mint and similar herbs. If your dehydrator does not have a thermostat, you should check the device more often during the dehydrating process to prevent the leaves from burning. Remove any unnecessary trays before you begin. Doing so will clear more room for larger leaves and increase the overall amount of air circulation the mint leaves receive. Check the mint every five minutes or so. Remove the mint from the device as soon as it appears dry. The edges should begin curling up and the leaves should look crispy yet green.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разложите листья мяты по лотку дегидратора. Поставьте дегидратор на самый слабый режим. Обрабатывайте в дегидраторе, пока не высохнут.


Keep the mucus in your throat loose by drinking six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day. If you have a dry cough that doesn't produce anything, you need to stay hydrated so the coughing doesn't irritate your throat. This is especially important if colds and flu are triggers for your asthma symptoms. Increase your fluid intake if you're coughing up yellow or green mucus. Keep the air in your home as pure as possible. Check any air filters in your home and avoid smokers. Since smoke is a common asthma trigger, talk to any smokers about not smoking around you. You should also avoid spraying hairspray and perfume.  Since pollen can trigger your asthma, you should consider running an air conditioner on days when the pollen count is high. Just take care to regularly clean the air vents in your home so dust and mold isn't blown around. Consider running a humidifier or leaving bowls of water around your home. This will add moisture to the air which can improve your breathing. Avoid deep over breathing  when you have an asthma cough. Some doctors believe that this can irritate your lungs even more. Instead, slowly breath only through your nose, keeping your inhalations and exhalations the same length. For example, breathe in through your nose while counting to 8. Hold your breath for as long as you can and breathe out for 8 counts. Stay calm, relaxed and still while you breathe. While you'll be getting a little less oxygen during this exercise, it's about the same amount you'd be getting if you were coughing. Controlling your breathing by counting can decrease the cough and other symptoms of asthma. A coughing fit brought on by asthma can make you feel panicked or out of control. Calm yourself and your breathing by practicing a relaxing breathing pose. Lay on your back and bend your knees so that your feet are still flat on the floor. Place your hands on your belly put a pillow under your head so you're more comfortable. Close your eyes and let your belly sink down with each breath. The goal of this exercise...

Пейте достаточное количество воды. Очистите воздух. Расслабьтесь. Попробуйте заниматься дыхательными упражнениями йоги. Постарайтесь избавиться от неприятных условий.


Keep the new cat in a separate room so the other cats can smell her through the door. You can use your bathroom if you don’t have a spare room.  Give the established cat something with the new cat's scent on it to sleep on. The ideal object is a T shirt with your scent on it that the new cat has sat on. This uses your scent as a "intermediary" and gives the established cat a gentle introduction. It may take a few days for your cats to not freak out or avoid your new cat’s bedding. But over time, they should start to get used to the new scent. As a general rule, it is usually best to introduce a new cat when your existing cat is young. This will allow the two cats to get to know each other over a long period of time and hopefully bond as they grow. If you are planning to get a second cat or to add another cat to your household, it’s important that you ensure they get along by introducing them properly. This means letting the cats see each other before they touch each other or interact.  Consider placing the new cat in a cat carrier and placing this on the floor for the existing cat to sniff around and investigate, without the threat of being chased by the new cat. Alternatively, use a baby gate that is at least 36 inches high. Place it in the doorway of the new cat’s room so she stays in her room and does not interact with your existing cat(s). Allow the cats to get a look at each other. Then, praise and reward both of them with a treat if there is no attacking or signs of aggression like hissing. Make sure the cats look at each other five to ten times a row, two to three times a day. Before you allow the cats to physically interact with each other, you need to ensure they have grown used to each other by smell and by sight. They should seem relaxed and calm when they look at each other and be okay with being in each other’s presence for an extended period of time. If either cat starts to hiss, growl, or seem uncomfortable, move them out of each other’s sight. Keep the baby gate door closed to the cats cannot...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте кошкам познакомиться c запахом друг друга, прежде чем устраивать им личную встречу. Разрешите кошкам увидеть друг друга до прямого контакта. Следите за языком тела кошек. Начните играть вместе со всеми своими кошками.


Keep the oil in the airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator or cabinet. You can now use the oils to clean or as a natural skin care product.

TL;DR in Russian:

Хранить лимонное масло следует в прохладном, темном месте не дольше месяца.


Keep the plant in a well-lit location (like near a window) away from direct sunlight – too much heat and light can stunt growth and burn the leaves. It should also be away from drafts, heat vents, fireplaces or other sources of hot air.  Move an indoors plant outdoors in summer to a shady location. It is best to keep in a normal house temperature range, about 65 to 75°F (18 to 20°C). That being said, cooler night temperatures can be used to initiate blooming. We'll discuss getting it to bloom in the final section. If it's in a north or east-facing window, you won't have to worry about light. But if it's in a south or west-facing window, diffuse the light with semi-transparent curtains or some other light-diffusing device. Put a tray of water next to the plant so that the water evaporates and provides humidity. Alternatively, you can make a humidity tray by placing the pot on a waterproof saucer that is filled with gravel and halfway filled with water.  Make sure to not let the pot touch the water when it is sitting on the gravel; otherwise the pot will wick up water and make it easier for the roots to rot. 50 to 60% humidity is the ultimate goal. If your environment is close to that, you should be fine. For the container, some of the cheap nursery planters will work well, and orchid planters (the plastic basket kind) work well also. Pair this planter with a planter that will hold water and allow the basket to fit down into it. Then, place a few medium sized rocks into the bottom so that the basket container will be held about an inch above the bottom.  Use a combination of 3 parts potting soil to one part sand for the potting medium. An alternative is one part potting soil, two parts peat moss or compost, and one part sharp sand or perlite. Whichever way you go, pour about two inches of room temperature water into the outer container and set the basket container inside. After about twelve hours, pour out any remaining water. Repeat this as often as the plant needs water; it will vary based on your home's...

TL;DR in Russian:

Рождественник предпочитает яркое, но непрямое освещение. Создайте вокруг растения достаточную влажность, если воздух в помещении сухой. Вам нужны горшок и почва, которые хорошо дренируются. Вносите удобрение, чтобы улучшить рост кактуса.


Keep the room you are in softly lit. Fluorescent lighting is considered bad for eyes since they give off the wrong light frequencies of color and emit radiation that makes you drowsy all day long.  When reading, try to keep your light source located behind you and keep the light directed on the paper or the task you are working on. At work, or at a desk, use a shaded light source positioned on the desk in front of you. Again, keep the light directed towards your work and the shade will protect your eyes from direct light from the source. Avoid watching television or working on the computer in the dark. Dry eye is caused by a lack of lubrication and moisture on the surface of your eye. Problems can range from minor irritant to serious inflammation of the tissues of the eye.  Use a humidifier to moisturize your house or workspace. Adjust your thermostat to reduce air flow and dust particles that might irritate your eyes. Move your desk or office space if it is near a vent. Request moving to a different area of the office. Quit smoking because it can inflame your eyes. Consider stopping if you develop a dry eye condition. Use artificial tears if necessary to keep your eyes moist and lubricated. Invest in the correct glasses or contact lenses for your specific situation. Nowadays, eyewear is made for nearly every situation so make sure to get a proper eye exam and talk to your optometrist about getting the correct prescription for the most likely environment where you will be wearing your glasses.  Prescription and nonprescription lenses are made for nearly all types of lifestyles. There are different types of lenses for age, sports, and indoor and outdoor wear. If you work outside or have to drive long distances make sure to buy polarizing sunglasses to protect your eyes again UV light and glare. This will help prevent squinting. Make sure you wear glasses for as long as you need to and keep them clean. Computers are a major source of eye strain for most people. Try to limit your screen time by routinely taking...

TL;DR in Russian:

Keep the seeds an even distance apart when you plant them. If you are planting 4 seeds, imagine the cup to be a clock and plant the seeds at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 positions. Stick a toothpick next to each seed to mark where each seed is growing. Water the seeds until the soil is damp to the touch. Make sure not to overwater the cup or else the seeds will become waterlogged. In 2 or 3 weeks, you should start to notice seedlings through the top of the soil. The seedlings should be kept in a bright and warm area, like a windowsill, so they can grow. Remember that the more light a plant gets, the more water the plant will need.  If you want to keep the humidity of your seedlings higher, you can loosely cover the cup with plastic wrap. This will help the soil retain its moisture for longer. The first “leaves” that you’ll see on your seedlings are cotyledons and not true leaves. True leaves will develop over time and will resemble leaves from a fully grown pear tree. Once there are at least 4 true leaves on your seedling, they are ready to transplant. Use a ruler or transplanting tool to dig the seedlings out from the cup, being sure not to damage their root structure. Once you have unearthed a seedling, put it in a hole slightly larger than the root ball and fill in the topsoil.  At this point, you can keep seedlings indoors or outdoors depending on the weather. If there is harsh sunlight, it may be best to keep your plants indoors until they develop further. If the seedling grows too big for its pot, you can transfer it to a larger pot so you can still move it indoors or outdoors.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наполните пластиковый стакан почвой для комнатных растений и посадите семена на глубину около 1,5 сантиметра. Полейте семена и подождите 2–3 недели. Держите стакан в хорошо освещенном месте. Дождитесь, пока побеги выпустят 4 настоящих листка. Пересадите саженцы в отдельные горшки.


Keep the smoke, like normal, in your mouth if possible. This trick works best with thick, white smoke. Hold your bottom lip out like have an an underbite. Let the smoke escape from your mouth, drifting up from your lower lip. As the smoke escapes, drifting up from your bottom lip, inhale gently from your nose. It will appear like an upside down waterfall of smoke, sneaking up from your bottom lip into your nose. Try blowing a smoke ring through your mouth and inhale it back through the nose. Can you adapt into a French Ghost, popping the smoke out from your mouth and pulling it back through the nostrils? This is just a patient, easier version of the French Inhale. To do it you must take a large, full drag. Open your mouth from the lower lip and slowly exhale, pushing the smoke out and up. Keep exhaling slowly, tilting your chin slightly down as you do, to cover your whole face in smoke.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте большую затяжку. Вытяните вперед нижнюю губу, слегка приоткрыв рот. Вдохните дым ноздрями. Сочетайте водопад с другими трюками. Попробуйте выполнить "лицо призрака".


Keep the soil around seedlings slightly moist to slightly dry. Once the plant is mature and no longer growing, most varieties will not require watering except during hot weather. As with any plant, water more frequently if it appears withered or the soil cracks. Sweet William plants can rot if exposed to too much moisture, so be careful not to over-water. The soil should never feel soggy or contain pools of water. If you wish to encourage faster growth and flowering, apply a general-purpose fertilizer to the soil once every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer, when growth or flowering is noticeable). Follow the instructions on your specific fertilizer carefully to avoid burning or damaging the plant. It’s usually a good idea to dilute the fertilizer even more than specified on the container. Spray a general purpose insecticide on young plants to discourage disease. Sweet William is susceptible to nematodes. If you see the presence of nematodes, which look like tiny, round worms, use a fungicide on the plants according to the manufacturer's instructions.  Note: if you are planning to eat the Sweet William flowers or feed them to a pet, do not treat with any type of pesticide. Sweet William plants typically bloom during late spring or early summer, and then lose their flowers to the summer heat. When the flowers of Sweet William plants have dried, gently cut them off and discard them. This will encourage new blossom growth, and prevent the plant from dropping seeds if you wish to control your garden more closely.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поливайте слегка. Удобряйте растения (по желанию). Обрабатывайте молодые растения инсектицидами. Оборвите увядший цвет.


Keep the soil around the young cantaloupe plants moist, but not standing in water. They should get around 1 or 2 inches a week. Cantaloupe will be very sensitive during periods of drought and may need additional watering, so use your judgment and keep a close eye on the plants to make sure they're growing and looking healthy.  Melons will take a while to set on the vine, but most of the sugary flavor in a melon can be determined from the leaves. Just because you don't see melons yet doesn't mean that you don't know anything about how they will taste. Pay attention to the quality and vigor of the leaves: they should be dark green, with stiff structure and a healthy color. Yellowish or spotted leaves may be a sign of dryness or disease. It's typical for melon leaves to wilt significantly in the midday and stay wilted looking until the evening in extremely hot weather. This isn't necessarily a sign that you need to water the cantaloupe more, however, so look at the quality of the leaves, not the limpness.  Drip-tape can be quite effective in watering your melons, but you can also hand-water or do whatever is appropriate for the size of your plot and other planting projects. Water around the base of the vines and try not to get the fruit wet, when it sets. Whether you're growing new plants or have transplanted your starts, it's a good idea to cover your rows with floating row cover in order to keep them warm and protect them from insects. You can use small loops of chicken wire to create a tunnel, then drape your netting over the row.  It's important to remove the matting after the threat of frost has dissipated and blooms have started to form, so that pollinating insects can reach the blossoms. You can cover the plants again once the fruits have set. Use weed killers and chemical pest controls only as a last resort. Read all label instructions to make sure the treatment is safe for use on edible harvests and will not kill pollinating insects. It's challenging to walk around the thick network of vines, much less...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дыни нужно поливать щедро, но редко. Вам нужно будет заботиться о плодах. Тщательно пропалывайте грядки, прежде чем у дыни появятся ползучие стебли. Вы можете подвязать растения. Периодически удобряйте почву. Перед тем, как дыни полностью созреют, уменьшите количество воды для полива.


Keep the soil moist throughout the summer by watering the squash every few days. When the soil looks like it's getting a little dry, give the squash beds a thorough soaking. Water at the base of the plants, rather than getting the leaves wet, to prevent powdery mildew and sunburn. The first blossoms the squash plants produce are male, and eating them won't affect the health of the plants. If you'd like, pinch off the yellow blossoms and add them to salads or stir-fries. Otherwise, they'll naturally fall off about a week after they bloom. The second set of flowers produced by the plants are female, and they grow just above the tiny squash fruits. Leave the female flowers on the vines. Squash plants don't usually become attractive to pests until the end of the growing season when the plants have almost reached the end of their life cycle anyway. If you know pests are a problem in your area, take measures to prevent an infestation:  Protect young squash plants by covering them with floating row cover. Remove the cover once they begin to flower to allow pollination. Planting a row of nasturtium flowers alongside your squash can help deter insect pests. If you see squash bugs or cucumber beetles on the leaves of the squash plants, pick them off by hand. Squash vine borers attack the plants inside the stalks. Unfortunately, once they attack, there's not much you can do to save the plants.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно поливайте побеги тыквы. Ешьте ранние соцветия тыквы. Отгоняйте вредителей.


Keep the strength in your hand by writing with it and using it daily.   Allot left handed writing. Perhaps you always write on a calendar, or constantly update a grocery list—assign small tasks like this to your left hand to keep it in use. Practicing your left handed writing daily will keep your cognitive performance at a high level. Continue improving on your left handed writing by beginning to draw.  Begin with very basic shapes: squares, triangles, and circles. Work your way up to more difficult drawings. The more your movements become directed but natural with your left hand, the easier it will be to maintain your left handed writing. Using both your right and left hand improves connection of the left and right brain hemispheres.   If you switch entirely to your writing with your left hand, you will lose writing skills in your right hand. Creativity and abstract thinking have been said to improve when you use both your left and right hand interchangeably.

TL;DR in Russian:

Тренируйтесь ежедневно. Начните рисовать. Меняйте руки.


Keep the water just below lukewarm (cool, but not tooth-chattering cold) and relax for 10 to 20 minutes. If showering, use a gentle stream of water, not a full blast, to avoid irritating your skin. Air dry or pat gently with a towel to avoid abrading the skin.  Avoid using soap, bath oils, or other detergents as you bathe or shower. Any such products can irritate your skin and possibly make the effects of the sunburn feel even worse. If you have blisters forming on your skin, take a bath instead of showering. The pressure from the shower might pop your blisters. Dampen a washcloth or other piece of fabric with cold water, and lay it over the affected area for 20 to 30 minutes. Re-wet it as often as you need to. Over-the-counter drugs such as Ibuprofen or aspirin can lessen the pain, and may or may not reduce inflammation. Do not give aspirin to children. Instead, opt for something that is specifically marketed as a child's dose of acetaminophen. Child's Motrin (Ibuprofen) is a good option due to the possible anti-inflammatory effect. Drugstores also sell sprays meant to relieve red and itchy skin. Sprays that contain benzocaine, lidocaine or pramoxine have a numbing effect that may help with the pain. However, as these are potential allergens, it may be best to test the medication on an unaffected patch of skin first and wait a day to see if it causes itchiness or redness.  These sprays should not be used on children 2 years of age or younger without a doctor's advice. Sprays containing methyl salicylate or trolamine salicylate may endanger children 12 and under, and capsaicin can be dangerous for people 18 and under, or for anyone with a chili allergy. Baggy t-shirts and loose cotton pajama pants are ideal clothing items to wear while you're recovering from a sunburn. If you can't wear loose clothing, at least make sure your garments are cotton (this fabric allows your skin to "breathe") and fit as loosely as possible. Wool and some synthetic fabrics are especially irritating, due to scratchy fibers or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Примите прохладную ванну или душ. Приложите к коже холодный компресс. Примите обезболивающее средство, которое отпускается без рецепта. Нанесите на рану мазь. Наденьте поверх ожога свободную хлопковую одежду. Воспользуйтесь кремом с кортизоном.


Keep the watermelon stored at or below 0 °F (−18 °C). When you’re ready to use it, you can let it thaw in the refrigerator or add it almost immediately to your dish. You can leave it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days before it spoils. Fruit packed this way is best for desserts and fruit cocktails. It preserves the quality and sweetness of the watermelon, similar to canned fruit.

TL;DR in Russian:

Храните арбуз в морозильной камере вплоть до 12 месяцев.


Keep them in a single layer, and do not let the leaves overlap. By keeping the mint in a single layer, you can dry the leaves out faster and more evenly than you would be able to do if you piled the leaves inside a microwave-safe bowl. Place the leaves in the microwave and cook them 10 seconds at a time, checking frequently to see if they have begun curling and becoming crispy. The mint should be adequately dry in 15 to 45 seconds.  Ideally, the leaves will stay green. You can use the leaves after they brown, but green leaves will have more flavor and a better aroma. If you place a pile of mint leaves in a dish instead of keeping them to a single layer on a microwave-safe plate, you will need to stir the leaves every 30 seconds and microwave them for a total of 1 to 3 minutes. This tactic is not ideal, however, and may result in unevenly dried mint.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разложите листья мяты по блюду микроволновки. Включайте микроволновку на 10-и секундные интервалы.


Keep them well watered throughout the growing season to prevent the ground from drying out. Reduce the amount of water a couple of weeks before harvest; allow the ground to dry between watering. Ensure to water the crop adequately during the growing season as the plants require water for growth and sprout development. However, Brussels sprouts need a large amount of water but do not like standing water. That being said, lighter soils will require more frequent waterings than heavier soils. Stop fertilizing when you cut back on watering at the end of the growing season. In addition, removing the growing tip of the plant about a month before the harvesting date will result in greater yields as the plant will divert energy from leaf growth into developing the Brussels sprouts. This feeds the plants and provides a barrier for weeds. Brussels sprouts have a very shallow root system, so avoid disturbing the soil around them. Weed the area carefully by hand if needed. Aphids and cabbage worms are common pests that will affect the sprouts. Maintaining the soil PH at 6.5 or above will help prevent certain diseases such as club root (a soil borne fungus).

TL;DR in Russian:

Полейте саженцы у корней после пересадки. Подкармливайте капусту удобрениями, содержащими азот, как минимум раз в несколько недель. Регулярно добавляйте органический компост в почву вокруг растущей капусты.


Keep them well watered throughout the growing season; if the soil gets dry, the phlox will suffer. Water from the base of the plant, rather than from the top. Avoid getting their leaves wet to decrease the chances that mold and mildew will form on the plants. Use well-rounded plant fertilizer like 10-10-10, which contains 10 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphate and 10 percent potash. Repeat a second application of the fertilizer when the plants are flowering. In subsequent years, add compost around the plants each spring. Do it when when the days start getting hotter. The mulch helps to keep the soil moist and cool and helps with weed control. Add fresh mulch to your phlox at least once a year. For tall-growing varieties, cut off all but 5 to 7 stems on each plant. This increases air circulation to the stems, increasing blooms and reducing chances of disease. Pinch off the growing tips of the remaining stems to slow down the growth and encourage the plants to fill out. Start when they are around 6 inches (15 cm) tall if you are growing a tall species of phlox. Shorter phlox species that you are not growing as ground cover can also be pruned when they are 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) tall. Some varieties of phlox will bloom a second time if you deadhead the plants when the flowers die. Dig the entire plant out of the ground so you can see its root structure. Cut sections off the outer-edge of the plant clusters that have plant growth and buds. If the inner section of the cluster has become woody, trim off and discard the woody parts. Replant a piece of the original back in the original hole. Move the other pieces to new areas for planting. Air, sunshine, and proper watering can help prevent common diseases that affect pilot, like rot or mildew. Remove affected foliage quickly.  Water your phlox early in the morning. Remove all mulch and plant debris during the autumn season to prevent fungus and rot. A phlox bug is a piercing and sucking insect that preys primarily on phlox plants. Prevent phlox bugs by using...

Keep these materials handy so that you can use them as you work. You should use both a soft and stiff bristled brush for this job.  You can get shoe cleaner at a shoe store, grocery store, or online. If you don’t have shoe cleaner, mix equal parts of water and dish soap until you have a soapy mixture. Dip the softer brush in water and squeeze some shoe cleaner onto the bristles. Instead of scrubbing, gently run the brush along the edges of the shoe. Use a light pressure to protect the delicate material. Now dip the stiff-bristled brush into the water and apply shoe cleaner to it. As you scrub, the shoe cleaner will start to foam. Make sure to get inside each of the grooves on the rubber outsole. Move the brush in small circles to get all of the dirt out. Get all of the foam off of the bottom of the shoe. Wipe down the sides of the boost as well. You may need to use 2 or 3 paper towels to get all of the foam off. You can let them air dry. It may only take an hour or 2 for the shoes to dry. If they're still wet, wipe them down with a paper towel again. Once they are dry, you can wear the shoes again.

Keep track of the time of day when you most often have spasms, or leak urine. Develop a schedule of times throughout the day to urinate. Maintain this schedule for a few weeks to be sure you are emptying your bladder frequently enough to avoid spasms and leakage.  Gradually extend the time between voiding. This will gradually train your bladder to hold a little more urine, strengthening the muscles to prevent the spasms.  Avoid drinking fluids within two hours of bedtime to help control of your bladder during the night. Some foods can trigger bladder spasms. Pay close attention to the foods you eat, and eliminate items that seem to be triggers for you.  Foods that are highly acidic, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes, and foods that are spicy have been associated with triggering bladder spasms.  Chocolate and foods or beverages that contain artificial sweeteners may also trigger bladder spasms. Beverages that have high levels of caffeine, such as coffee, tea, and soft drinks can lead to spasms. So can beverages that have high acid content, such as citrus fruit juices.  Alcoholic beverages and those with caffeine can cause your bladder to fill quickly, leading to leakage and spasms.  Beverages that contain large amounts of citrus fruits can be irritating to your bladder, and lead to bladder spasms. Try spacing out what you drink over the day, rather than drinking a large quantity in a short period of time. Harsh soaps and the ingredients in bubble baths have been reported to trigger bladder spasms. The ingredients in bubble bath products and soaps that contain fragrances or harsh ingredients can be irritating to your bladder, and lead to spasms. Being overweight puts added pressure on your bladder. Talk with your doctor to determine a healthy weight loss program to aid in controlling your bladder spasms. In addition to being bad for your health in general, smoking irritates your bladder muscles. "Smoker's cough," a chronic cough caused by lung irritation due to smoking, can also trigger bladder spasms and can...

Keep your body clean by using soap and warm water when you bathe at least once a day. To continue smelling good, use deodorant, antiperspirant or body powder to combat sweat and odor. Additionally, using lotion daily will keep your skin soft and smoothe. If you get very sweaty, you might take more showers or use a body cleansing wipe to maintain your cleanliness. to prevent premature aging and blemishes. Wash your face with a mild cleanser in the morning and evening. Follow up with a face lotion or cream. Additionally, you can address your unique skin concerns with products like eye cream for wrinkles or under-eye bags, acne cream for blemishes, or lip balm for dry, cracked lips.  Never sleep in your makeup, as it’s very bad for your skin.  Ideally, it’s best to use a lighter moisturizer during the day and a heavier cream at night. Fill half of your plate with veggies, a quarter of your plate with lean protein, and a quarter of your plate with a starch or grains. Then, snack on fresh fruits and veggies whenever you feel hungry between meals. Additionally, make sure you’re drinking about 8-12 glasses of water daily to stay hydrated.  If you have a tendency to overeat at mealtimes, try eating off smaller plates, which can make it appear that you have more food. Don’t try to cut out foods you enjoy, as that will make you miserable. Instead, add in your favorite foods in moderation, and look for healthier ways to make foods that don’t fit into your healthy eating plan. Choose a fun exercise that you will keep doing. For example, you might try walking, jogging, dancing, aerobics, group gym classes, kickboxing, or swimming. Find what works for you! Don’t feel pressured to workout constantly or lose a bunch of weight all at one time. You can be attractive at any weight, so just focus on improving your health in a sustainable way.

Keep your cheek color light.  Consider a pink blush if you have fair skin. Choose a peach blush if your skin is medium tone. Try a plum shade if you have darker toned skin. Apply dark, shimmering metallic shades to make your eyes stand out.  Avoid light silvers or grays, even if you opted for all-silver accessories. If you want to keep the all-silver look, opt for medium to darker shades of gray.  Go with either dark bronzes or coal grays if you accessorized with silver and gold accessories. Try adding some variety into your look with a color eye shadow. Stick with blue tones. Think dark blues, eggplant violets, and deep turquoises. You may add liquid glitter liner over the black liner to give your eyes a bit more sparkle.  Instead, use violet-red colors like mauve or pink tones.

Keep your chin level with the ground, your shoulders back, and your stomach in. Let your arms fall naturally at your sides.  Place your feet about shoulder-width apart, the same stance you would use for working out. Imagine a string holding you up. As you stand tall, imagine a string is coming from the ceiling, pulling you upwards. Keep your lower back inline, and don't move to your tiptoes. Visualization techniques like this one can guide your sense of the proper position you should be in. Stand with your back against a door or wall. Just touch the wall with the back of your head, your shoulders, and your butt. Your heels should be 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) away from the wall. Slide your hand behind your back to check for space.  You should be able to slide your hand behind your back but only by a little bit. If you have more space than that, pull your bellybutton back towards your spine to help flatten your back a little. If you can't slide your hand behind your back, arch your back so that you can. Try to hold this position as you move away from the wall, rechecking as needed. Away from the wall, if you simply put your head back, tuck your chin in, and pull your abdominals in, then you will find that your spine, shoulders, and chest automatically go into the positions that they're supposed to be in for good posture. Think about it: If you put your head back and tuck your chin in, then your chest will automatically be out front. And the good change in spine position will automatically push your shoulders back, to the correct position, and encourage the proper curve to the middle of your back (near the bottom of the rib cage). Then, it becomes quick and easy to think: "Head back, chin tucked, abs in." Go back to the wall again and notice that the wall actually guides you to achieve this very posture of "Head back, chin tucked, abs in" Make an "X" from your shoulders to your hips. Add a straight line of tape across your shoulders closing the top of the X. Wear this during the day to help retrain your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Встаньте прямо, чтобы принять правильную позу. Используйте для выработки правильной осанки стену. Попросите кого-нибудь наклеить вам на спину ленту в виде буквы “X”. Удерживайте основной вес тела на подушечках стоп. Пройдитесь так, как будто на голове вы удерживаете книгу. Выберите удобную ортопедическую обувь.


Keep your cleaver and your chef's knife in the drawer for this job. To properly bone a chicken, it helps to have a knife with a fairly flexible, but quite sharp, blade that you can use to work alongside the bones and remove them, as well as scrape the meat from the more difficult joints. Find the backbone. You should be able to feel quite easily where the backbone is with your finger, and carefully work the flat edge of your boning knife down the back, to one side of the bone. Use the bone as a guide, and start working your knife into the skin to create a starting point. You may find it helpful to cut the skin in several places, then flip the knife edge up and cut through the skin from underneath. You may also find it easier to cut just to the left or the right of the spine when you get started. Grasp the skin with one hand, and (carefully!) cut the meat away from the bone, pulling it free as you work. Start by grasping the skin next to the spine cut furthest away from you. Cut as close to the bone as you can, letting your knife do the work. As you start pulling the chicken away from the ribs, you'll encounter the wishbone quickly. Spin the chicken around so the neck hole is facing you, and work your knife around the wishbone to loosen it, pulling it free. The wishbone is famously easy to break, and might snap as you try to get it out. That's fine, but make sure you get the pieces and be careful of bone shards as you work. Keep cutting meat away from the rib cage, slowly moving down from the back, around the side, toward the breast. You'll feel the wing and leg joints as you move, which you'll need to take a little more care to separate and, later, remove. Work slowly and use pressure to pull the meat away from the ribs to make the knife secondary. Use as small cuts as you can get away with, taking care to not cut through the skin on the other side (the breast). Keep separating until you reach the leg and wing joints. Start working down the other side of the backbone, working your knife around much as before,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что вы используете очень острый разделочный нож. Разместите птицу грудкой вниз на разделочную доску. Начните работать ножом вниз по грудке. Удалите поперечную кость. Продолжайте резать и найдите крыло и кости голени с той же стороны. Переверните тушку и сделайте то же самое.


Keep your connection with your date going by asking them their opinion on the movie. Express your thoughts about the movie, too. For example, you may ask, “So, what did you think of the action scene?” or “Did you enjoy the ending?” Extend the movie date by proposing that you both go to a nearby bar or cafe to talk more about the movie and hang out. You may suggest that you grab food or a drink close by to spend more time together. For example, you may say, “Let's talk some more about the movie over drinks” or “Want to grab some food and chat more about that fight scene?” If your movie date is winding down, end it by suggesting another date in the near future. Maybe you pick another movie to see or you move from a movie date to a dinner date or do another activity. For example, you may say to your date, “Want to go see another movie next weekend?” or “How about I take you to dinner and a movie next time?” End the date by parting with your date in a friendly way. Thank them for a nice time. If they respond positively and tell you they had a good time, too, you may offer to hug them or give them a peck on the cheek. Notice if they are smiling or maintaining eye contact with you, as these are usually signs they enjoyed the date. If you have planned another date in the future, you may want to say to your date, "See you soon!" or "I'll contact you next week about dinner, can't wait!"

TL;DR in Russian:

Спросите девушку, что она думает о фильме. Предложите сходить за напитками или закусками, если видите, что девушка проголодалась. Заранее договоритесь о следующем свидании. Попрощайтесь с девушкой.


Keep your elbow at your side. Your fingers should be pointing at an angle, outwards and towards the opposite hand's direction. Take your dominant hand and place the palm on the palm of your non-dominant hand. You want the thumb of your non-dominant hand to line up with second finger joints of your dominant hand. The edge of your dominant hand's palm should stick out a little. Both your hands' fingers should wrap firmly around your hands. Right now your hands are perpendicular with each other. You need to rotate your dominant hand upwards slightly. Move your palms in and out so that the space between them opens and closes. You'll need to practice this and fine tune the movement and speed to get the best realistic fart noise.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите руку, которая не является ведущей, открытой ладонью вверх. Положите сверху ведущую руку. Сожмите пальцы, плотно обхватывая кисти рук. Поверните руки. Выполните удар ладонями.


Keep your hair moisturized throughout the week. Try to moisturize your hair every 2 or 3 days or as soon as you notice your hair drying and frizzing. For a quick moisturizing routine, just remove your hair from the twists and spritz it with water. Rub through a leave-in conditioner and brush your hair. Rub through olive oil for extra moisturizer.  You can leave your hair down or re-twist it into a protective style. For the most moisture, do a deep moisturizing treatment once a week. Dry hair is often caused by removing the natural oils from your hair. If you currently wash your hair every day, start waiting a day or two in between shampoos. This will give your hair a chance to stay moisturized from its own oils. When you do shampoo, choose a gentle shampoo that contains aloe vera or apricot kernel oil. These ingredients can help your hair stay moisturized. Your hair may dry out more quickly if it's exposed to wind, sun, chlorine, dry air, or saltwater. If you'll be encountering any of these, cover your hair with a scarf or hat. You should also increase your conditioning before and after coming into contact with these damaging elements. If you'll be in the sun, you can also spray your hair with a protective spray that blocks UV rays. Even the most moisturized hair can dry out if you use too many drying treatments. Coloring your hair or getting perms, relaxers, and chemical smothers can all dry out your hair. Consider doing these rarely to avoid drying out your hair. If you do color or highlight your hair, choose chemical-free or ammonia-free treatments since they're less damaging to your hair.

TL;DR in Russian:

Увлажняйте волосы несколько раз в неделю. Старайтесь не мыть волосы шампунем слишком часто. Защищайте волосы. Снижайте уровень воздействия химикатов.


Keep your hair natural and whimsical. Messy bohemian styles best capture the fairy look.  If you have long hair, wear it down or in braids. For those who prefer shorter hair, consider a pixie cut or a messy bob. Fairy-like details include piece-y (not perfectly even) bangs and tousled hair. Adorn your hair with ribbons and flowers. Antique pins and barrettes also make for a nice fairy look. Even out your complexion with a light-weight tinted moisturizer. If you are especially fair, apply a rosy blush to your cheeks. Apply a shimmering powder to your cheekbones. Use a highlighter pencil under your brow bone. Fairy beauty is fresh, glowy and wide-eyed.  Wear lip-gloss or a sheer lipstick. Look for products with shimmer. Avoid matte lipsticks, as these are too heavy.  Good color choices include pink, red and wine. Widen your eyes with mascara and light eye-shadow. Choose a good mascara and use only one coat to avoid heavy, spidery lashes. Look for light, shimmering shadows. Mocha, silver and moss-green are some good color options. Fairy fashion is feminine and ethereal, old-fashioned and romantic.  Wear long skirts and flowy dresses. Look for gossamer fabrics and filigree detailing. Err on the side of demure. In summer, you can show your arms, shoulders and perhaps some décolleté, but avoid hems that are too high (think thigh-high) and plunging necklines. For your winter wardrobe, check out the winter fashions of 19th-century Russia. The long coats, muffs and round hats capture the romantic fairy look. Accessorize with headbands and jewelry. Again, antique designs, beads, ribbons and flowers create a romantic and whimsical fairy look. Fairies are often barefoot, but this is not practical. Flat shoes, sandals and Mary Janes are excellent choices. Low-heeled shoes are acceptable, but exceedingly high, stiletto heels are not compatible with the free and easy fairy look.

TL;DR in Russian:

Создайте волшебную прическу. Сделайте цвет лица  ярче. Используйте макияж, чтобы создать естественный сказочный образ. Одевайтесь как фея.


Keep your instructions short and sweet. You don't want to overload the student with too much information while they are concentrating on improving their swimming skills.  Instead of giving your student a multitude of things to consider, try focusing on one or two elements at a time. Try saying something like, “That was great! Now this time, let's focus on pushing off hard from the wall and kicking small.” Start with a simple method to learn, like the backstroke. This technique relies heavily upon the body's own buoyancy and doesn't require a lot of fancy body movements that take time to perfect. Once your adult student has learned how to float on their back, you can start teaching the arm and leg movements.  Ask your student to hold the wall behind their head while they float on their back, then instruct them to flutter kick their legs. This is a great way for them to get used to the motions. Once they feel comfortable with this, they can try flutter kicking while floating away from the wall. Finally, teach them to swing each arm straight back over their head and into the water to complete the backstroke form. This is one of the most common swimming strokes, so it's a great starting point for beginning adult learners. After your student as mastered the flutter kick while hanging onto the wall, begin teaching them the proper breathing techniques. Ask the student to put their face in the water, turn their head to the right and breathe in, turn their head back down and breathe out under water, then turn their head to the left and breathe out. Practice these moves over and over until the student is comfortable. Next, try adding in the arm motions by teaching the student to flutter kick while bringing one arm over their head into the water at a time. After they have mastered this, you can start syncing the breathing with the arm movements. You should demonstrate the forms yourself, so that your students have something to work towards. Show them some more basic swimming strokes – that includes the breaststroke,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Говорите коротко. Для начала научите человека плавать на спине. Обучите  вольному стилю плавания. Научите его еще нескольким основным стилям плавания.


Keep your legs a foot or two above the rest of your body with pillows. This can force your uterine muscles to relax. In several studies, women who were treated with acupuncture reported less pain and needed less medication. Acupuncture works by balancing out the qi (or energy deficiencies) in the body. In the case of menstrual cramping, the qi imbalances are purportedly in the spleen and liver area. Gentle pressure is best, and repeat in 10-second intervals as needed. Your body will start to notice the sensation of the pressure instead of the sensation of pain caused by the menstrual cramping. More than just offering a distraction, the pressure could also soothe some of the pain. Massage the front of the abdomen, working back to your lower back. Have a friend or a family member massage your lower back if possible. This will reduce a lot the pain for some time. Walking is an effective and easy remedy for pain associated with menstrual cramping. For best results, walk briskly, and do this exercise for 30 minutes cycles at least three times a day. Walking will help get your beta-endorphins going, as well as reduce prostaglandins. This will give you enough exercise to keep you in less pain. In lieu of exercise, you can try other forms of aerobic exercise. Again, shoot for 30 minutes of controlled, medium-intensity aerobic exercise, 3 times a week.  Biking Swimming Dancing Sports, such as soccer or basketball, that involve running Any exercise may be beneficial, but sit-ups work your abdominal muscles especially, focusing attention away from cramping and toward the pleasant burn in your outer tummy. Exercise releases beta-endorphins in your body, which are internal opioids, or the morphine that your body produces all on its own.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поднимите ноги на 30-60 см над уровнем тела с помощью подушек. Попробуйте иглоукалывание. Положите на живот груз на 10 секунд. Массируйте живот, чтобы уменьшить боль. Пройдитесь. Выйдите на пробежку. Сделайте несколько приседаний.


Keep your morning meal balanced with enough food to represent a variety of food groups and start your metabolism working for the day.  Start with milk and cold or hot cereal, then top with pieces of fruit and nuts or seeds to create an easy breakfast that contains grains, dairy, fruit, and protein. Avoid sugary cereals or sweetened fruits. For a hot breakfast, try an omelet with two eggs or ½ cup of egg substitute; ½ cup of vegetables (like chopped broccoli, bell pepper, and onion, for example); and 1 ounce of reduced-fat cheese. Serve with a whole grain English muffin. Buy ingredients for healthy meals for the week ahead of time. Prep several portions of food to eat throughout the week, or eat dinner leftovers for lunch the next day, for a way to save time but still eat well.  For a quick lunch, try a sandwich with two slices of whole grain bread, lettuce, onion, tomato, a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese, and a few slices of lunch meat. A side salad with two tablespoons of salad dressing and a single cup of 100% fruit juice could complete the meal. For a simple balanced dinner, try 1 cup of cooked carrots, 1 cup of steamed string beans, 1 cup of cooked brown rice, and a single grilled pork chop. Water or low-fat milk could serve as a healthy drink. When planning meals and shopping for ingredients, reduce or eliminate pre-packaged or prepared foods, sodas, salty snacks, and dessert foods. You're more likely to make balanced meals when healthy, whole foods are on hand, without substituting for easy processed foods. Don't forget to make snacks between meals as balanced as possible. You may not include all food groups in every small snack, but each snack should contain more than one type of food.  For example, try a snack of apple slices and celery sticks with peanut butter to dip them in for a healthy snack that contains, fruit, vegetables, and some protein and oil. Eating snacks can be a great way to get a full day's worth of balanced nutrients if you get hungry between meals or have trouble eating substantial...

TL;DR in Russian:

Как следует завтракайте. Наперед планируйте обед и ужин. Не забудьте сбалансировать свои перекусы.


Keep your notes organized by writing important details at the top of each page. Include information such as the date, bibliographic information, and page number of your notes. Noting details can make it easier for you to return to your notes and get important information. Write down key facts, ideas, and details in your own words. Avoid noting anything in the text verbatim, or word for word, unless it is a phrase or quote you may later use. Taking notes in your own words actively engages your brain, helps you better understand the text, makes you more likely to retain the information, and may minimize the risk of plagiarism. Develop your own system of signs and abbreviations that can help you more quickly take notes and review them. For example, “SM” for “scientific method,” or “GH” for “gender history.” Think about the text you’re reading or the lecture you’re listening to—they may be a bit dense and hard to understand. Avoid using these models when you write your notes. Instead, use keywords to say the same things in a short and manageable way that you can easily and quickly review later. For example, for obstetrics, you might note words such as midwife, placental abruption, childbed fever, and preeclampsia. As you write your keywords and ideas down, leave space between each line. Having extra room allows you to make additional notes or clarify points that you may not understand. This helps you quickly have and identify all of the relevant material to that keyword or thought.

TL;DR in Russian:

Указывайте подробности в верхней части страницы. Используйте собственный язык. Используйте ключевые слова вместо целых предложений. Пропускайте строки для дополнений.


Keep your skin moist and healthy by using moisturizers and skin creams. Avoid scented creams and lotions, BECAUSE you could have a reaction to them, causing more itching. Moisturize twice a day. Every time you shower, use one ounce or two tablespoons to moisturize your whole body, or use as needed. You should also avoid using scented soaps BECAUSE the chemicals in it can cause skin to get dry and irritated. Use mild, unscented soaps instead. Too frequent bathing can cause itching to get worse. Limit baths to once every 2 days. Bathing frequency can vary depending on climate, weather and your activities. However, once in two days should suffice. Avoid using very hot water; it tends to make the skin more irritated. Use water at room temperature or lower.  Hot water dilates  vessels speeding up metabolism of insulin, which can trigger hypoglycemia. Another reason why diabetics should not use hot water is diabetics suffering from nerve damage lose sensitivity to pain and temperature and may unknowingly burn themselves with hot water. Summer is a time of sun and fun, but sun can also seriously irritate skin. To lessen itching in the summer,  wear clothes made from light materials like cotton, chiffon or linen. Certain cloths like wool and silk can cause irritation and itching.:  Make sure to keep the skin dry from sweat as too much humidity can cause itching sometimes. Drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated. Drink 8 glasses (8-ounce glass) of water per day. However, if you engage in rigorous activity or live in an arid climate you may need to drink more water. Skin easily gets dry in winter, which is why it is very important for diabetics to keep skin well moisturized and hydrated. Moisturize your skin twice a day using unscented lotion. Switching on a humidifier when the heat is on also relieves and prevents  itching from getting worse. Itching is exacerbated by feeling stress.  This means that when you are in stressful situations, your itching increases. To combat feeling stressed, practice relaxation....

TL;DR in Russian:

Не давайте коже высыхать слишком сильно. Смените манеру купания. Уделяйте особое внимание своей коже летом. Следите за своей кожей зимой. Снизьте уровень стресса.


Keep your skin moisturized by putting on a moisturizer as soon as you’ve dried off from your shower or bath. Using a moisturizer after you have washed your body with bodywash will lock in moisture on your skin and prevent dry patches.  Make sure you use a moisturizer that contains hydrating ingredients, such as shea butter, coconut butter, and oats. Apply moisturizer in areas that tend to get very dry, such as your knees, your elbows, your feet, and your hands. If you notice your bodywash is causing you to develop dry patches or irritated skin, try switching to a bodywash made for sensitive skin. Look for a bodywash that has more natural or hydrating ingredients. If your skin becomes irritated, dry, or red due to the bodywash, see your dermatologist for guidance. You may be allergic to certain ingredients in bodywash or have skin that is too sensitive for conventional soaps. Your dermatologist may recommend a particular soap brand or a prescription bodywash to address your skin issues.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нанесите увлажняющее средство после использования очищающего средства. Если текущее очищающее средство сушит кожу, смените его на более мягкое средство. Поговорите с дерматологом, если у вас возникли проблемы с кожей.


Keep your stove and oven clean, especially watching for grease accumulation. Check stove vent hoods, clean the filter regularly, and make sure that if it is equipped with an exterior vent, insects or birds do not build nests or otherwise impede the air flow through it. Check the power cords for your appliances.  Look for missing grounding prongs on the plugs and damaged insulation, and replace or repair them if defects are found. Keep the lint trap and outside vent clean in your clothes dryer. Some dryers have internal ductwork which may become clogged and require servicing, so if the dryer is operating poorly, have it checked. Lint or other material collecting near the heat coils in clothes dryers is extremely dangerous. Stay nearby while using the dryer. Have a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher nearby. If you must leave the area for a minute, turn off the dryer. After all, you are not going to be away long, and you can immediately turn the dryer on when you return. Keep flammable materials (curtains, the couch) a safe distance (usually 3 feet) from portable heaters. Set heaters where they are not in the traffic flow of the room. As a rule, extension cords are not recommended with space heaters.  Small, low wattage heaters may be an exception, but check the manufacturer's recommendations prior to using an extension cord with one. Be safe, just don't use extension cords. Use space heaters only on solid, firm surfaces. They should never be placed on tables, chairs or other places where they may tip over. Replace old space heaters with ones that will automatically turn off if tipped over. Do not drape fabric over lamps to dim them. Either buy a lower wattage bulb, or turn the lamp off. An overheated cord is like an out-of-control electric heater. Inspect the fire box (hearth) for cracks, damaged sheet metal (for inserts) and other hazards. Use glass fire doors or a wire mesh spark screen to prevent embers from popping out of the fireplace. Burn dry, seasoned wood to prevent creosote buildup in the chimney. ...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте приборы. Будьте очень осторожны с обогревателями. Никогда не используйте удлинители для кондиционеров. Правильно ухаживайте за камином. Никогда не храните легковоспламеняющиеся жидкости рядом с источниками огня. Будьте очень осторожны в тех ситуациях, когда удлинитель используется длительное время.


Keep your supplies in an easily accessible spot, such as a hall closet or garage. Make sure every member of your family knows where your emergency supplies are located. Keep the following items on hand:  Enough bottled water and non-perishable food to last 3 days. A first aid kit, including gauze, alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, tweezers, ibuprofen or another pain reliever, cotton swabs, anti-diarrhea medication, sanitary napkins, and eyewash. Medications that any members of your family take regularly. A flashlight and extra batteries. Tools, including a screwdriver and adjustable wrench. A whistle, to alert first responders in the event you become trapped. Clothes and blankets. Your pet's food and medication, if you have one. You and anyone you live with should have a plan to quickly get to safety in the event of an emergency. Instruct every member of your household to drop, cover, and hold on, then to head to a designated meeting location when the shaking stops.  Designated spots might be a clearing near your home, a school, community center, or a shelter. Make a plan to reunite ahead of time, as phone service may be limited and should be used only for emergencies. Conduct practice drills every 6 months to ensure you and your loved ones know exactly what to do in the event of an earthquake. Look for tall cabinets, televisions, dressers, bookcases, hanging plants, and other objects that could fall and cause injury. Go room by room with your family members, and note spots that offer protection and those that are potentially dangerous. For example, if there's a heavy desk in your child's bedroom, tell them to take cover under it. Advise them to stay away from their windows and dresser. Avoid storing heavy objects high up, and install brackets to secure tall furniture to walls. Keep any dangerous items, such as sharp objects, glass, and flammable or toxic substances in locked or low cabinets. Objects such as knives or corrosive liquids can cause serious injury, especially if they fall from a high storage spot...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сложите аварийный  набор. Разработайте  план спасения для своей семьи. Определите безопасные места и источники опасности в каждой комнате дома. Храните опасные предметы в прочных шкафах или на нижних полках. Пройдите курсы оказания первой помощи. Научитесь отключать воду, электричество и газ.


Keep yourself engaged while you are studying by using bright, colorful school supplies to take notes and write down ideas. These may include pens and paper, note cards, stickers, highlighters, and Post-it notes. Adding color to the studying process will make it more fun and activate the creative part of your brain, which will help you retain things better. Atmospheric music will make studying more enjoyable and stimulate your brain without distracting you. Try playing classical music or movie scores in the background while you study. Play music at a moderate volume and avoid anything loud or jarring, which will break your concentration. This can be a fun activity that will help you remember information more easily. Write the song before practicing a few times in your head. If you need to, use a melody from a popular song.For example, make your math equations into a song or sing about historical figures in chronological order.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте цветные учебные материалы. Включите фоновую музыку во время учебы. Напишите песню на основе заметок, чтобы легче их запомнить.


Keep yourself safe by not touching mold with your bare hands. If you are using vinegar or Borax to clean the mold, regular household rubber gloves are fine. However, if you are working with bleach, choose natural rubber or PVC gloves instead. Take the gloves off as soon as you are finished cleaning so that the spores don’t spread throughout your home. It’s best to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting stained or damaged by the cleaning solutions and hot water wash cycle. Always use hot water to wash your clothes with immediately after you have finished cleaning so that the spores trapped in the fabric are killed and don’t spread. It’s especially important that you wear old clothes if you are using bleach. This is because bleach can remove the color from fabrics. Open as many windows are possible and turn on the bathroom fan if there is one. This helps to prevent you inhaling the mold spores and any toxic fumes that may be released by the cleaning solutions. You can also bring a portable fan into the bathroom if you have one.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте резиновые перчатки всякий раз, когда имеете дело с плесенью. Наденьте старую одежду и постирайте ее после того, как удалите плесень. Проветривайте ванную комнату во время уборки.
