Spray the ends of your hair with water to make it easier to keep them together. Then, place the rag at the tip of your hair and begin rolling under.  At first it will be tricky and the tip will want to come out.  Keep tucking it back in and roll your hair upward. Watching what you’re doing in the mirror will help as you’re first learning. If you struggle with using rags to curl your hair, purchase foam curlers instead.  The process is exactly the same, only instead of tying a rag to set the curl you will instead clip a plastic cross-bar or special pin.  Some people find sleeping on curlers to be uncomfortable or difficult. Remember that the size of the curler will determine how loose or tight the waves are. Big curlers make loose waves.

TL;DR in Russian:

Накрутите прядь волос. Используйте бигуди из пенопласта.


Spray the stain remover directly onto the spots. Check the label of your stain remover to confirm the amount of time you should allow the cleaner to sit.  Most products recommend waiting no more than 30 minutes before washing the fabric. These kinds of stain removers can be bought at most general retailers and grocery stores. Add your normal amount of detergent and bleach to the washing machine, then insert the fabric and run a complete cycle. The cold setting will keep the proteins in the organic stains loose, increasing the chances of them coming out. Before you apply hydrogen peroxide, bear in mind that it can sometimes lighten the color of fabric. If stains remain after the washing, apply equal parts peroxide and ammonia directly to the stains and blot them with a clean rag until gone. To prevent unnecessary stress on the fabric, only blot at stains for about 10 to 15 minutes. Any longer may damage the fabric. Keep the fabric out of the sun and away from heat. Once dry, if necessary, clean the fabric same as before: blot stains with cold water, pre-treat them with an enzyme cleaner, wash the fabric on “Cold,” spot treat, then stains will likely be gone. Stains that are especially bad or have set may be impossible to entirely remove. You might be able to lift stains further with another round of cleaning, but this may be rough on the fabric. Set your dryer to the lowest heat setting if air drying the fabric isn't an option. Once dry, it’s ready to be put away. Treat bed bug stains in this fashion as soon as possible to prevent them from becoming permanent.

TL;DR in Russian:

Предварительно обработайте пятна ферментным отбеливателем для тканей. Выстирайте белье обычным образом, настроив стиральную машину на цикл холодной стирки. Точечно обработайте оставшиеся пятна смесью перекиси водорода и нашатыря. Просушите ткань на воздухе, а затем при необходимости повторите процесс выведения пятен. В качестве альтернативы высушите белье в сушилке на низкой температуре.


Spray the surface with the solution, then scrub it with a clean, lint-free cloth. A powerful degreaser will cut through dirt, grime, mold, and other problematic residue without affecting the temperamental zinc coating. Proceed in small sections until you’ve cleaned the entire surface.  Common household products like Comet, mineral spirits, and chlorine bleach can all be used to prepare galvanized steel for painting. If you’re attempting to paint siding panels, roof flashing, or other materials that have seen exposure to the elements, a thorough cleaning is necessary to eliminate any organic contaminants from the outer surface. Once you’ve finished cleaning the steel, let it rest until all traces of the degreaser have evaporated. That way, you won’t have to worry about the solution interfering with the action of the vinegar, which you’ll be using to rough up the smooth steel. If possible, do your prepping and painting indoors, or on a clear day when there’s little moisture in the environment. When working with an item that’s seen some wear, you may noticed a chalky or powdery film on parts of the surface. This can easily be buffed out with a high-grit sandpaper (120-grit or finer is preferable) and a little patience. Sand the steel using gentle circular motions until the exterior takes on a uniform appearance.  Afterwards, wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with warm water to remove any lingering dust. This chalky substance is commonly known as “white rust.” It forms when the thin layer of zinc coating the steel begins to break down as a result of age or exposure to the elements. Wet a clean, dry cloth with distilled white vinegar and wring out the excess liquid. Go over the galvanized steel thoroughly, applying more vinegar as needed. To ensure an even paint job, it’s important that it come into contact with every part of the exterior.  The acid in the vinegar will gently etch the slick zinc-coated finish, giving it a rougher texture that will allow paint to stick better. If you happen to miss a spot, you...

Обработайте сталь химическим обезжиривающим средством. Подождите, пока сталь высохнет. Протрите старую оцинкованную сталь, чтобы убрать белую ржавчину. Протрите сталь белым уксусом. Оставьте изделие на 1–2 часа.


Spray them with nonstick cooking spray so you'll be able to remove the finished lollipops without them cracking. Put the lollipop sticks in the molds. This recipe works with any type of hard candy molds. You can use drop molds, start or heart-shaped molds, or any other mold you like. Be sure to use candy molds, and not other types of food molds, since candy molds are designed to prevent the candy from sticking. Place the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan. Put the saucepan on the stove over medium high heat. Scrape down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush to keep it from sticking. Stop stirring and check the temperature with a candy thermometer. Let the mixture keep boiling until it reaches 295 °F (146 °C), then immediately remove it from heat. It's important to remove the sugar mixture from heat at this exact temperature. Use a candy thermometer, and not a meat thermometer, to be sure your measurements are exact.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте форму для леденца на палочке. Положите сахар, кукурузный сироп и налейте воду в кастрюлю. Размешивайте смесь, пока сахар не растворится. Доведите смесь до кипения. Добавьте экстракт и пищевой краситель. Налейте конфетную смесь в форму для леденца. Дайте леденцам полностью затвердеть, прежде чем достать их из формы.


Spray water on the moss, peat, or other material you've placed at the base of your tank whenever it starts to dry out. Keep this material moist at all times. If you can't spray every other day at least, you could leave an ice cube in the tank, or a rag or sponge soaked with water. The snails may stay healthier if you spray them with water every day or two, but pay attention to water temperature. Spray with warm water in cold weather, and use room temperature water during hot weather or if you have central heating. Most snails are not picky eaters, and will enjoy most types of fresh fruit and vegetable. Wash all food thoroughly in clean water before you give it to them, and cut large vegetables into chunks or slices. Some foods, such as carrots and potatoes, may need to be boiled for a few minutes to soften them slightly. Always let cooked food cool completely before giving it to your snails. Some snails may eat raw meat, raw eggs, brown bread, or (soaked, but uncooked) oatmeal. Experiment to give your snails a varied diet to increase the chance that they are receiving all the nutrition they need. Not much research has been done on the best nutritious diet for snails, and there is disagreement among snail owners about which foods may or may not harm the snails. Here are a list of food ranging from the most to least dangerous:  Salty foods could kill your snails. Avoid anything with salt crystals on it entirely. Avoid pasta, rice, and millet. These starchy foods can potentially cause blockage in the snail's digestive system. Do not feed them to your snails. Homegrown plants may be exposed to car exhaust while growing, which could cause harm. Acidic foods such as citrus fruit, tomatoes, and kiwi fruit may or may not harm snails. Use them in small quantities along with other foods. You can use any source of calcium as long as it is clean and washed. Egg shells or discarded snail shells in your garden will work for the average pet owner. If you are trying to breed snails you may wish to buy more concentrated...

Spray your Christmas tree with a cat repellant spray that you can purchase at your local pet supply store. This will deter your kitty without leaving a noticeable odor to human noses. Or, you might try a citrus spray, as cats are repelled by citrus odor too.  Apple cider vinegar can also be sprayed as a cat repellant. If it's a plastic tree, a small amount of Citronella oil shaken into a bottle of water and misted on to the tree makes it smell unpleasant to the cat, but fresh and citrus-like to you. Spray some pine cones with Citronella and pile them around the base of the tree. Cats do not walk on pine cones! Pine cones also have the same effect in the base of your houseplants. You could also place orange peels under the tree to make your cat less likely to go near it. Cats also dislike the smell of rotten apples, but then you probably won't like that smell much either! Try spraying your tree with a little orange juice. Cats hate the smell of citrus, so orange juice can act as a deterrent. Slices of orange can also be used for decoration. Be sure to tape down excess wire and to make it too hard for the cat to reach the power point or where the cords join. Do not leave any wires dangling – wrap wire around the base of the tree rather than having it dangling anywhere. It can also be helpful to cover exposed wires in wire covers or piping to prevent the cat from chewing them.  Cords can also be coated with cat repellant sprays. Just be careful not to spray too much liquid on the electrical cords – a light misting will do. Plug the tree lights into a short indoor extension cord and tape the plug into the socket with electrical tape. Simply unplug the lights from the extension cord to turn them off. Consider using cords that shut off if damaged. Always turn off Christmas tree lights when there is no responsible adult in the room to keep an eye on them. Place toys the kitty likes in the same room as the tree and place his/her scratching post reasonably near to the tree. These are the cat’s things and encourage the...

Spray your vinegar-detergent mixture onto the shower and tub surfaces. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes so that the ingredients have time to penetrate the dried on soap scum, mildew, and mineral deposits. If your shower doesn’t have soap scum, mildew, and mineral deposits, then you don’t need to let the product set. Scrub your shower surfaces with your non-abrasive applicator, paying special attention to areas with thicker grime. As you clean, apply additional cleaning solution as needed. For example, if your cleaner dries before you get to that section, you can apply additional cleaner. Do not scrub with hard-bristle brushes, scouring pads, or metal pads because they will scratch your fiberglass. Use a cup to splash cold water onto all of the surfaces to remove the cleaning solution and the grime. You will likely need to rinse areas more than once to remove all of the product. If you have a handheld shower head, you can use it instead of a cup.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нанесите моющий раствор на грязную поверхность. Вотрите раствор губкой, тряпкой или мягкой щеткой. Промойте душ холодной водой.


Spraying, or urine marking, is communicative behavior that can be caused by a variety of factors. Urinating, however, is usually due to need and can often be attributed to a litter box issue alone.  Spraying marks are found on vertical surfaces as a cat sprays by backing up into an object. They also have less volume than simple urinating. The urine emitted during spraying will smell stronger as the cat releases certain chemicals to send messages to other cats.  Spraying is more common in un-neutered males, multiple cat households, and in households where there have recently been changes. To stop the behavior, you must understand the reasons cats spray. Spraying is a way to communicate with other cats, and knowing what your cat is trying to communicate is key to fixing the problem.  Cats are territorial and like to claim certain things and areas. Urine marking is your cat's way of letting other cats know of his presence and which portions of the house belong to him. If you live in a multiple cat household, your cat is likely claiming territory.  Spraying is also a mating ritual for cats. Spraying is very common during mating season, and the pheromones in the cat's urine communicate their availability to breed. If your cat is not neutered, he may be spraying for this reason. Now that you know the causes for spraying, ask yourself a series of questions about your own house. This can illuminate the reasons your cat may be spraying.  Is there a new baby or pet? This might mean your cat feels threatened and wants to mark his territory. Are there any neighborhood cats that could be coming into your yard, causing your cat stress? Have there been any changes to your cats routine? Cats dislike change, and sometimes act out when their routine is disrupted. Do you have multiple cats in your home? If so, do they all have enough space? Have there been any changes to the little box lately?

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите разницу между территориальными метками и обычным мочеиспусканием в неположенном месте. Поймите возможные причины стремления метить территорию. Выясните причину нежелательного поведения именно вашего питомца.


Sprays and waxes can stiffen softer materials considerably. When you’re finished waterproofing, put the shoes on and walk around in them for a little while. Some light activity will get them nice and relaxed in no time. After three or four wears, you shouldn’t even be able to tell a difference. Flex your foot in all different directions to loosen up the more rigid areas. Make sure you give your footwear some much-needed attention before the rainy season arrives. Under normal conditions, you shouldn’t need to repeat the process more than about once every few months. Of course, the more you put a pair through, the faster the protective water-resistant coating will deteriorate.  If you live in a hotter climate, you may need to show your shoes a little more attention. Exposure to heat can continually re-melt the waterproofing, causing it to wear away in no time. Don’t forget to treat your shoes again any time you wash them, or you’ll be in for an unpleasant surprise when you step outside! If at any point you decide to undo the waterproofing, all you need to do is scrub the shoes with a sudsy solution of hot water and mild dish soap or laundry detergent. The heat will help melt the spray or wax, while the surfactants in the detergent whisk away the oily mess. Give the shoes time to dry and it will be like it never happened. Once you’ve finished washing, rinse the shoes until the water runs clear. Otherwise, leftover traces of waterproofing and detergent can congeal into a slick residue as they dry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разносите обувь. Повторно наносите водоотталкивающие средства так часто, как это необходимо. При желании смойте водоотталкивающий слой.


Spread a clean sheet on the floor of your working area to protect the dress as you press it. It is best if you use a clean press cloth of white cotton sheeting or muslin unless you are using a brand new or freshly cleaned iron. Start at the back and bottom of the train until you feel comfortable with the pressing. Take your time and use caution. When it is finished you are ready to preserve your gown. We recommend that you first wash and dry your ironing board cover to remove any dirt, starch, or sizing. Where possible, press the dress from the inside. If you have a thick, cushy, ironing board cover, the sequins and beads can press into it. Start at a low temperature, and increase it gradually. If it starts to stick, reduce the heat immediately. Loosely fold your wedding gown before storing it, and store it away from sunlight because direct sunlight will cause it to yellow. Protect it from light in an acid-free chest covering it in acid-free tissue paper. Don't store the dress in plastic or hang it up. Put your box in your closet or under your bed away from the light and far from any areas with mold or mildew. Now you can take it out and admire it whenever you want to look back on your wedding day.

TL;DR in Russian:

Застелите рабочую зону. Погладьте платье. Уберите платье на хранение. Спрячьте коробку с платьем.


Spread a thin layer of baking soda over the entire surface of the foam mattress. Leave the baking soda on the mattress overnight or during the day while you are at work. Then, vacuum up the baking soda. You can use a lemon or other citrus based cleaner to remove odors from a foam mattress. Spray a light layer of citrus cleaner. Then, let it dry completely. You can make your own citrus based cleaner. Put some orange or lemon peels in an airtight container. Fill the container with white vinegar and let it sit for two weeks. Then, strain out the orange peels. Put the liquid in a spray bottle and clean. Put your mattress out on the front porch or backyard for an hour or two. The breeze and sun will help eliminate bacteria and deodorize the mattress. Airing out your mattress may be easiest in a rural or suburban location.  Remember to bring it back inside and keep an eye on the weather, since you don’t want to get your foam mattress wet. If you live in a city with a lot of air pollution or traffic, you may want to skip this step. Once you have vacuumed, cleaned and deodorized your foam mattress, you can go ahead and put on the clean mattress cover. The mattress cover will help keep your foam mattress nice and clean. If you tend to drink a lot of coffee or wine in bed or own a pet, you may want to use a waterproof mattress cover. A waterproof cover will help you avoid the disaster of a soaking foam mattress.

TL;DR in Russian:

Присыпьте матрас пищевой содой. Распылите поверх матраса цитрусовое чистящее средство. Вынесите матрас на свежий воздух. Наденьте наматрасник.


Spread about half the tobacco evenly over a paper towel. Lightly mist the tobacco with a water-filled spray bottle. Fluff the mixture with your fingers. Repeat until the tobacco is just slightly damp. Mix the moistened tobacco in a plastic bag with the rest of the stale tobacco.   Shake the bag to mix thoroughly. Wait half an hour or so for the moisture to even out. Put the tobacco in a bowl (a wider bowl will provide better exposure).  Cover the bowl with a damp (not overly wet), clean towel. The towel should not touch the tobacco. Secure the cloth using a rubber band to ensure the cloth doesn’t touch the tobacco.  Check the tobacco every few hours. This method is less likely to compromise the integrity of your tobacco. Get a new and unused foam sponge and cut off a small corner from it.  Use water to dampen the removed sponge. Remove all excess water and make sure it isn’t dripping. Add the damp sponge into a sealable container with the tobacco. The damp sponge will act as a humidifier to the tobacco.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте герметичный пакет. Накройте влажной салфеткой. Увлажните губку.


Spread evenly and avoid touching leaves or flowers between each herb piece. Use a lower power setting, such as the half power or defrost power settings. Dry for 2 minutes, then let sit for 10 minutes. Check for the level of dryness. If it is sufficient, then use the herbs as required. If not, do another dry for about 1 minute.  If the drying of 2 minutes proves too long and the herbs have dried out too much, use a new set of herbs and reduce the drying time by 30 seconds. Keep experimenting to reach the right timing, depending on the type of herb. Herbs that tend to air dry well with little shrinkage (such as thyme) will need less time in the microwave than herbs that don't air dry as well (such as basil). As already noted, the silica use means that the herbs are no longer safe for consuming.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите тонкий слой силикагеля на дно емкости, которую вы поместите в микроволновку. Равномерно разложите сверху травы. Начните сушку. Используйте засушенные таким образом растения только для поделок.


Spread frozen corn kernels into an even layer in the dish.  Canned corn kernels can also be used, but there are some differences in the cooking method and length. Frozen corn does not need to be thawed prior to cooking. Stir the water into the corn to disperse it throughout. Note that this step is only needed if using frozen corn kernels. You do not need to add water if using canned corn, but you should not drain the canned corn before use. Use a fork to poke a few holes into the plastic wrap, providing ventilation.  Only use plastic wrap that is safe to use in the microwave. If the dish has a cover, you could use that instead of the plastic wrap. Make sure that the cover is placed on the dish loosely so that the corn is still ventilated. If using canned corn, only microwave the dish for 1 to 2 minutes.  The exact length of time varies depending on how much wattage your microwave has. A lower-powered microwave will need longer time, while a higher-powered microwave will need less time. If you hear popping sounds as the corn cooks, stop the microwave early. Drain the cooking liquid from the corn and season as desired with butter, salt, and pepper.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите кукурузные зерна на блюдо, пригодное для использования в микроволновой печи. Добавьте от 2 до 4 столовых ложек (от 30 до 60  мл) воды. Накройте блюдо пищевой пленкой. Готовьте кукурузу в микроволновке 4-5 минут. Слейте и подавайте.


Spread mulch or compost around the stump of your buddleia plant, as this will help it retain moisture and fight off unwanted weeds. Spread about 6 inches of mulch or compost along the stumps of the plant. You may decide you want to plant more buddleias. You should keep the new plants 5 to 10 feet away from existing plants to make sure all your plants have adequate space to grow. Buddleias may expand as they grow, branching out new stems. Therefore, it's vital you make sure the plants have the space necessary to thrive. Buddleias need to be watered. The amount of water they need depends on the season. Young buddleias that are still growing should be watered thoroughly.  Buddleias do tolerate drought well. However, prolonged dry soil can be a problem for the plants. Therefore, regular watering is important in dry months.  Water the soil around the buddleia thoroughly so the soil is moist without being over-saturated. Before a buddleia blooms, it will need more watering. Water the buddleia at least once a week before it blooms. You may want to water twice a week or more if you live in an area experiencing a drought or very hot temperatures.  Once a buddleia is full grown, it requires less watering. However, check the soil surrounding the plant regularly to make sure it's damp. If it feels dry, water the soil until it moistens slightly.

TL;DR in Russian:

Рассыпьте мульчу ранней весной. Сажайте новые кустарники в 1,5–3 метрах от имеющихся растений. Хорошо поливайте растение.


Spread out the branches to attach to the tree as you go after cleaning each piece. You may wish to place a sheet on the floor around the tree to catch any falling debris. Use an upholstery bristle brush attachment to test an area at the very base of the tree. Your vacuum should be able to safely clean the dirt off the branches without damaging the tree. You can also use a hand vacuum if you want a weaker suction and don’t wish to deal with a long tube or cords. Work from the top to the bottom, using your vacuum brush to gently suction dust off the branches and the trunk of the tree. Avoid vacuuming the tree into the hose or pulling out greenery. Don't allow any parts of the branches to be sucked into the hose. The broken pieces could damage your vacuum cleaner. Fill a bucket with mild dish soap and warm water, avoiding any harsh chemicals that can damage your tree. Unplug your tree if it has built-in lights. Use a soft dish or dust rag to clean the tree so the cloth won’t get tangled in the branches. Dip your rag in the soapy water and wring well. Use the rag to gently clean the tree, working from top to bottom. Rinse the dust off your rag frequently to prevent spreading wet dust to other parts of the tree.  Replace the water as necessary. If you are leaving suds, your towel is dripping, or you're leaving wet branches behind, you are not wringing the rag enough. Allow the tree to dry thoroughly before plugging the lights back in. Vacuum the area around the tree to remove any dust that may have fallen on the floor. Put your cleaning supplies away. Fold the corners of your dust sheet in towards the center. This will form a sack to transport the sheet without spilling any contained dirt. Take the sheet out to the garbage and dump out the contents. Now that your tree is clean, now is the time to put on your decorations. Test the tree to make sure all the branches are dry before plugging in the lights.

TL;DR in Russian:

Spread out the side piece of your top felt on a flat surface. Note that the side facing you will be the inside of your hat. You’ll be constructing much of the hat inside out in order to hide the seems. Place the interfacing on top of the felt and pin in place with a few straight pins. Then iron the interfacing onto the felt according to the manufacturer's instructions. Repeat this process with the top of the fez, as well.  Make sure that the glossy side of the interfacing faces the fabric. The glossy side is usually the adhesive side. Use a low heat and a thin press cloth when ironing the pieces together. Do not use direct heat and do not use a high heat setting since doing either action may cause the felt to burn. Iron around the straight pins initially. Once the fabric and interfacing feel securely joined, remove the pins and iron over the spot to adhere the interfacing there. Let cool when done. At this point you should have an inside and outside piece for the side of your fez. Spread out the outside piece of felt with the interfacing side flat against your working surface and the outer side facing you. Lay the inner felt on top, matching the edges precisely. Pin in place using straight sewing pins, then sew around both curved edges of the fabric with a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) seam allowance. A seam allowance is the area between the edge and the stitching line on two pieces of material being sewed together.   Do not sew the two straight ends of the fabric together. When done, pull the two pieces of felt and the interfacing through one of the open ends. The interfacing should now be hidden on the inside of the joined fabric, and the side of the fez is now right-side-out. Just like with the side pieces, you should have two top pieces at this point, your outside piece, which has the interfacing on it, and your inside piece. Place the top piece of felt on your working surface with the interfacing lined side down. Set the inner felt material down on top, matching up the edge as closely as possible. Pin in place, then...

Spread the bags out evenly in the bottom of a shallow baking tray or similar container.  This is a great way to recycle teabags already used to brew tea. If you use loose tea leaves instead of teabags, place the leaves into the bottom of a paper cup, ice cube tray compartment, or similar mold. Carefully pour a small amount of melted candle wax over each tea bag, using just enough wax to cover the bag or the leaves. You could pour liquid paraffin over the teabags instead of using melted candle wax, if desired. Either option should work just as well. Allow the coated teabags to sit out, undisturbed, until the bags and leaves absorb the melted wax. This means that the wax will also cool and harden. When ready, the teabags will feel stiff and cool to the touch. Place the teabag firelighters in resealable plastic bags or containers. Store them away from any excess moisture until ready to use.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите пакетики в сковородку. Налейте расплавленный воск на пакетики. Пусть чай напитается воском. Храните, пока вам не понадобится растопка.


Spread the cloth out so that lies right-side up in front of you.  Use your hands to smooth out as many wrinkles as possible. If you allow any of the wrinkles or folds to remain, you could end up creating a large crease where one should not be. Large linens are rolled, not folded. You will roll the linen up so that it faces inside-out when viewed on the roll. Place an appropriately sized cardboard roller on one end of the linen. Roll the linen around the cardboard, and continue on until all of the material is on the roll.  You will need to hold the cloth with a bit of tension as you roll it up. Otherwise, wrinkles are more likely to form. Keep the hems straight and square with each other so that the linen rolls up evenly. Protect the linen by wrapping the roll with tissue paper.  It is also recommended that you label the tissue paper with "Fair Linen," "Credence," or another appropriate name. Doing so will make it easier to identify the linen later. After completing this step, you can place the linen in storage.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ровно расстелите полотно. Скатайте полотно на картонный ролик. Оберните рулон.


Spread the cooking oil across the whole surface of the skillet by tipping and rotating it. Keep the skillet over the heat until the oil starts to ripple. Non-stick pans will make your sear less crispy. Opt for a cast iron skillet. Make sure the meat isn’t dripping with marinade before you put it on the pan. Before the oil starts to smoke, lay the meat down in the center of the pan, or spread out smaller pieces of meat evenly so the meat isn’t crowded. Don’t move the meat around the pan once you’ve dropped it in. Use tongs or spatula to try and lift the meat off of the pan to check on the sear’s color. If the meat sticks to the pan, wait to flip it. Once you see a dark sear or the breading is golden brown, flip your meat over. The size and type of meat will affect the time it takes for it to cook. A 6 oz (170 g) chicken breast will take approximately 5 minutes for each side to cook through. A beef steak or pork tenderloin that’s 1 in (2.5 cm) thick will take 3-4 minutes on each side. If your meat isn’t at the right temperature and you’re afraid of the pan burning it, remove the meat from the skillet and place it on a baking pan. Put it into your oven on the broil setting for 2-3 minutes before checking the temperature again.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разогрейте смазанную маслом сковороду на плите на среднем или сильном огне. Положите мясо на сковороду, когда она как следует разогреется. Переверните мясо после того, как его нижняя сторона потемнеет. Полностью приготовьте мясо.


Spread the florets out into as even a layer as possible. If possible, arrange the florets in a single layer. If this is not possible, though, you should at least make sure that the florets are distributed in the dish as evenly as possible. For a standard head of cauliflower, add about 2 to 3 Tbsp (30 to 45 ml) of water. There should only be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water in the bottom of the container. The idea is to have enough water to create steam, but not so much water that you end up boiling the cauliflower florets, instead. If the dish you use has a microwave-safe lid, cover it with that. Otherwise, cover the dish with a layer of microwavable plastic wrap.  If your container does not have a microwave-safe lid and you either do not have plastic wrap or are uneasy about putting it in the microwave, you can cover the bowl with a microwavable ceramic or stoneware plate. Make sure that the plate covers the mouth of the dish completely.  Covering the dish is essential because it allows you to trap steam. The steam created by the heated water is what will cook the cauliflower florets in this method. Steam the cauliflower in the microwave on high power. When done, the florets should be tender enough to pierce with a fork but should not be mushy.  Check the cauliflower florets after the first 2 1/2 minutes. Recover it and continue cooking, if needed, for up to an additional 1 1/2 minutes. Exercise caution when you remove the lid. Open the lid away from your face so that the steam does not burn you as it escapes. Remove cooked cauliflower from the microwavable dish and transfer it to a serving dish. Season the florets with salt, pepper, and melted butter, as desired. There are other ways you can serve steamed cauliflower, as well. You could drizzle soy sauce over it, sprinkle the florets with Parmesan cheese, or season the cooked florets with spices and herbs like paprika, lemon pepper, or parsley. Precisely how you enjoy this healthy treat it up to you, so get creative.

Spread the oil into the pan by turning it from side to side until the oil spreads evenly over it. Place 2 cloves of chopped garlic, 2 chopped shallots, 1 chopped zucchini, and 1 cup of chopped carrots in the pot and stir the ingredients a bit to combine the flavors. Place 1 tsp. of curry powder and 3 cups of chicken stock in the skillet and wait for the stock to boil. Cover the orzo and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the ingredients together and stir them occasionally to combine the flavors. For all dente, cook the ingredients for 10 minutes. If you'd like the orzo to be a bit softer, cook it for another 1 or 2 additional minutes. Then, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan, 3 tbsp. of chopped flat-leaf parsley, and 1 cup of peas. Season this dish with salt and pepper to taste and serve it immediately.

Spread the pre-soaked soybeans on top of a lightly-greased baking sheet. Bake them in a pre-heated oven at 350 °F (177 °C) for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring them often. They are ready when they are light brown and crunchy. You can use the same technique in an electric frying pan. Grease the pan, add the beans, and fry them at 350 °F (177 °C) for 40 to 50 minutes, stirring often. Add the pre-soaked soybeans into a large crockpot. Cover them with hot water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, then cover the pot. Cook the beans on HIGH for 6 to 8 hours. Season 4 cups (620 grams) of edamame beans with 2 tablespoons (34 grams) of salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes, then add them to a large pot of salted water. Boil them, uncovered, for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the beans, then allow them to cool before serving. You can serve them in their pots or you can hull them first.

Spreading the word is a very important part of running a blog or website successfully.  Get accounts on social media that will promote your blog. For example, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and Pinterest. Use a program that sends updates to these sites each time that you add a new post to the blog. Use fun, quirky and short lead-ins on these sites to entice people to click on the link and come and read your new posts. Use forums to share blog content. Post information about your website onto other sites or blogs. You can personally tell people about it and tell them to then spread the word, and you can even pass out flyers or business cards. Where possible, try to guest blog on other fashion blogs. This increases your outreach to new readers and gets your blog some exposure that will remain ongoing for as long as that blog exists/leaves your post intact. In turn, invite others to blog on your blog too. The reciprocity of guest blogging opens up lots of possibilities and spreads the word.

TL;DR in Russian:

Spring-loaded skunk traps lure the skunk inside with bait, then close the door behind them so they can't escape. The skunk is then carried away from your property and set free in the woods or another open, wild area.  Bait the skunk trap with peanut butter, canned sardines, cat food, or another strong-smelling food. Set it near the skunk's den or its route of access to your property. Traps designed for raccoons, feral cats, and other wild animals also work well for skunks. When you releasing the skunk in the woods, wear heavy clothes and gloves, and make sure your face is positioned well away from the door where the skunk will exit the trap. Most of the time, skunks leave traps calmly, but you should take precautions just in case you get sprayed. If you'd rather leave the skunk handling to an expert, have the animal control center in your region dispatch someone to take care of removal. He or she will have the tools and knowledge to trap and release the skunk.

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите ловушку. Позвоните в службу отлова бездомных животных.


Sprinkle 1cm or half an inch of salt into the base of a clean and dry crock, jar or ceramic storage container with lid. Make sure they're clean and dry. Sprinkle a light layer of salt over each layer of basil leaves. Continue this way until all the leaves have been added. About every 10 or so layers, press down gently to slightly firm but not crush the layers of leaves. Press firmly but gently. Finish by pouring in a lot more salt to compact everything down. Shake and jolt the crock a bit to help ease the salt into all the cracks and crevices between the layers. Place the crock in a cool and dry spot. The pantry is often ideal, or a cellar. Leave as long as you like. Shake the salt off the leaves then cook with them as usual.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте соль. Приготовьте листья базилика. Положите листья базилика в горшочек. Наполняйте до уровня 5 см от верха. Сохраните. Чтобы использовать, просто возьмите несколько листьев, стряхните соль и используйте как обычно.


Sprinkle an even layer of sugar in the bottom of a heavy skillet or saucepan. Be sure the pan is large enough to accommodate the sugar's expansion. Cook the sugar on medium heat. You will notice the edges of the sugar will begin to brown and cook first. With a clean heatproof utensil, push the liquefied sugar towards the middle of the pan.  You want to make sure to move the liquefied sugar so it doesn't begin to burn. Once burnt, it cannot be saved. If lumps begin to form, turn down the heat slightly and stir slowly. The lumps should melt by the time you are done. The process here will begin to speed up, so don't leave the stove. Watch as the sugar deepens in color to a rich amber. If a recipe you are using calls for the addition of a liquid (like cream), add it in now to cool the pan and slow the cooking process.  Use caution when adding liquid to the pan as it will bubble up. If you are using the caramel in a mold (for flan or crème caramel) pour it into the mold now. To make pralines, add a cup of toasted, chopped nuts to the pan. Stir them slightly with a couple pinches of salt, and pour the mixture onto a wax-paper lined baking sheet to cool. If you are not adding liquid to your caramel, another way to cool it down (and stop the cooking process) is to set the base of the pan in a large bowl of cold water. Clean the pan by soaking or boiling water in the pan until all of the caramel has melted away. Enjoy!

Положите сахар в кастрюлю. Нагрейте сахар. Обжарьте сахар. Охладите. Теперь у вас есть карамельный соус!


Sprinkle seeds across the dirt in the areas you want your fenugreek to grow. Don't worry about making sure that the seeds are even or perfectly spaced. Fenugreek seeds don't have to be distanced a certain amount of space apart in order to grow properly like some plants. Some people recommend soaking the seeds in water overnight before you plant them. Fenugreek does not need to be buried very deep in soil. In fact, only .5cm, or ¼ inch, of potting soil provides ample coverage for your fenugreek. You will want to be sure they're buried so that scavengers like birds will not eat them. In order for the seeds to germinate (that is, begin to sprout), you will have to water them in the soil. Make sure that the soil is evenly moist. The excess water should quickly drain away, but you will want to continue to keep it well-moistened over the coming days. Sometime between the third and fifth days they should start to bud. Because of the rainy environment that fenugreek adapted to, it's advised that you maintain a steady slow drip watering method instead of pouring water on the surface periodically. Not only will this make water delivery constant and even, it also allows the water to penetrate the soil deeper and more effectively. Although fenugreek does not suffer from too many pests or diseases, you may notice a powdery mildew, aphids, or charcoal rot. Use organic pesticides and avoid over watering to help control any pests or diseases that may try to attack your fenugreek. It takes between 3-4 weeks for the seedlings to be ready to harvest. You will know that it's time by the height of the sprouts, which should grow to about 6 inches or 140 mm tall. Depending on whether you're trying to get leaves or seeds from your fenugreek you will want to vary how you harvest the plant. For leaves, cut the plant at the stem a few centimeters above the soil or pull them up by the roots. For seeds, wait for the pods on the plant to turn yellow, signalling that they've fully ripened, and harvest the seed before the pod pops open....

TL;DR in Russian:

Посадите семена. Присыпьте семена почвой. Поливайте семена. Следите за возможным появлением вредителей. Дождитесь, пока растения созреет. Соберите пажитник. Посадите пажитник заново.


Sprinkle the meat with 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt and 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground black pepper, or season to taste. Set aside.  If the meat is in one large chunk, cut it into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes before seasoning it. You may also want to pat it dry with clean paper towels, as well. Curry can be prepared in the same way no matter which meat you choose (solid beef, pork, or chicken), but you might want to vary the spices according to your own personal tastes. For instance, many prefer to add more heat when preparing pork curry. You can do so by increasing the amount of pepper you use or by sprinkling chili pepper powder into the curry base before you prepare the roux. If you decide to make chicken curry, opt for dark meat portions of chicken, like the thigh. Take the skin off before you add the chicken to the stockpot. Alternatively, you can skip the meat altogether and prepare a vegetarian curry by following the rest of the steps as described. Pour the cooking oil into a large, heavy stockpot and heat it on medium over the stove. Give it a minute or so to warm up adequately.  Note that you must use a heavy-bottomed stockpot with thick walls to avoid burning the curry. The stockpot should also be large enough to hold 5 L (5 qts). For a slightly richer taste, use butter or ghee instead of oil. Ultimately, however, the difference in taste might be difficult to distinguish since the flavor of the curry tends to overwhelm any subtle variations like this. Place the chopped onion in the hot oil and cook for roughly 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until soft and translucent. Temporarily remove them from the stockpot and place them on a nearby plate. If your stockpot is wide enough, you could just push the onion to one side instead of completely removing it. The important thing is to keep the cooked onion out of the way as you cook the meat. Add the meat to the stockpot. Let the pieces cook on one side for 1 to 3 minutes, or until browned on that side. Afterward, continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until all...

Sprinkle the powder liberally and don’t worry about using too much. Both baking soda or corn starch are absorbents that will “soak up” moisture, especially oil. They will not stain or damage carpeting.  One advantage of baking soda or corn starch is that they are very inexpensive. Another advantage is that they are non-toxic and made from organic materials. Neither baking soda nor corn starch will have a negative effect on the environment or on your body. Avoid rubbing too softly or too harshly. Use just enough force for the baking soda or corn starch to penetrate into the carpet’s fibers. Use a utility brush for larger oil stains, and an old toothbrush for small stains. This means leaving the powder alone for at least 15 minutes. Now that the baking soda or corn starch has absorbed the oil, use a vacuum cleaner to suck it out of your carpeting. Vacuum very thoroughly to remove every last bit of powder. Rub the detergent into the carpeting with a utility brush or an old toothbrush. Pour a small amount of warm water over the area and immediately blot up the detergent with a clean cloth or sponge.  Don’t be alarmed if the process creates soap suds, just keep blotting until all of the detergent is removed and the carpet is relatively dry. The more detergent and water you use, the longer the process will take. Inspect the fibres carefully for traces of oil. Repeat the process if the stain is still visible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посыпьте масляное пятно содой или кукурузным крахмалом. Вотрите пищевую соду или кукурузный крахмал в ковровое покрытие. Оставьте соду или крахмал на ковре на некоторое время, а затем пропылесосьте, чтобы удалить выбранное вещество с ковра. Нанесите несколько капель жидкого средства для мытья посуды на участок ковра с пятном. Подождите, пока ковер высохнет полностью.


Sprinkle water onto the fire rather than pouring a bucket full of water over the pit. By sprinkling the water, you can gradually put out the flames. If you pour the water onto the pit, you will flood it, making too wet to use at a later time. Use a stick to mix around the ashes as you sprinkle water onto the pit. Mixing the ashes makes sure that all of the ashes are dampened and put out. Turn the back of your hand to face the remaining ashes. If you feel heat coming up from the ashes, they are still too hot to leave. Continue to sprinkle water on the ashes and mix them up. Once the ashes are no longer giving off heat, you have completely extinguished the bonfire.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разбрызгайте воду над огнем. Разгребите золу. Поищите источники тепла.


Sprinkling the chemicals directly on the fire typically works best on campfires. Allow your fire to burn until there is a bed of red embers beneath it and the flames have died down a bit. For the best results, the flames should be approximately 1 foot (30 cm) high. Start with just a pinch to test the chemical and ensure that no adverse reactions occur. Be sure to stand back a bit as you add the powder to the fire to protect yourself.  Sprinkle the chemical on the edge of the fire rather than just tossing it into the middle. This will decrease the chance of a large and dangerous flare-up. Wear safety glasses and fire-resistant gloves when you add the chemicals to the fire. The smoke produced by many of these chemicals can be a serious irritant, especially for people with breathing problems. Wear a protective breathing mask while adding chemicals to the fire, and be mindful of which way the smoke is going. The first sprinkle of the chemical will likely not change the flames' color, so you should keep adding more until you notice a change. In many cases, it can take up to a minute for the color change to be visible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разожгите костер Насыпьте небольшое количество химиката на раскаленные угли. Продолжайте добавлять химикаты в огонь, пока пламя не изменит свой цвет.


Spritz water onto the section you'd like to start with.  The smaller the sections, the more volume your hairdo will have. Keep in mind that this method works best for long, straighter hair that lacks natural volume. Starting from the tip, loop your hair around the straw multiple times until you reach your roots. Keep these loops loose and irregular. However, don't wrap them so loosely that the curl comes undone. Use a bobby pin to hold the straw and your hair in place along your scalp. Spritz a little hairspray onto each wrapped strand. This will help hold your curls in place once you've finished. Unlike ringlet curls, you don't have to make every strand the same size or wrap them the same way. Because of the chaotic, messy nature of this look, it's ok if you miss a few strands and stray hairs. Wait about two to three hours first to allow the curls to set. Unclip the bobby pins and then unravel the strands by hand. Use your fingers to gently fluff out your coils into "big hair." Add a small amount of hair oil to soften your hair to make it easier to work with. Keep in mind that this method intentionally adds tangles and frizz to create volume. Combing it will be difficult. Use your fingers to arrange your hair for any final styling.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите и увлажните первую прядь волос. Накрутите волосы на первую соломинку. Зафиксируйте соломинку. Повторяйте весь процесс, пока практически все ваши волосы не будут накручены. Снимите соломинки, пока ваши волосы будут еще немного влажными.


Spritzing the paste with a solution of lemon juice and sugar (which you can make at home or may be provided by a henna artist) will seal the paste on your skin and also keep it wet. As long as the paste is moist, it will continue to dye your skin and you can get a rich, dark color that will last longer.  The henna will continue to work up to 12 hours after application if you keep it wet.  Don't oversaturate the paste with spray--you don't want it so wet that the paste begins to slide or spread on your skin, blurring your design.  Make your own spray by dissolving 1 1/2 tsp sugar in 3 tsp lemon juice. Gently heat the mixture in a sauce pan if the sugar doesn't dissolve after about a minute of stirring. Holding your hand or feet over a heater, stove, or fire will heat your skin and keep the henna paste moist. You can even use a heating pad--just be sure you don't accidentally rub off the design. Keep the area warm, but not hot--sweating too much might cause the paste to smudge. Black henna is not henna, which is derived from plants. Black or blue henna is actually a chemical called PPD, which is only approved for use in hair dye and can be harmful to your skin. It can cause rashes, allergic reactions, swelling, and other complications. Some black hennas may not have any actual henna in them at all and consist only of the harsh PPD. Applying a coat of petroleum jelly can help create a seal over the tattoo and repel water. Water can cause the skin to dry out, which will increase the shedding of dead and dry skin.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не счищайте пасту хны как можно дольше. Согрейте участок кожи с нанесенной хной. Никогда не используйте черную хну, даже несмотря на то, что производители будут убеждать, что татуировка продержится дольше. После того, как очистите хну избегайте, контакта с водой в течение 24 часов.


Sprouting is the process of soaking grains, seeds, beans, and legumes, and then leaving them in a small amount of water until they sprout. The first step in sprouting is soaking, because this helps to kick start the germination process.  Place your lentils or other grains, seeds, or beans into a mason jar. Fill the jar with lukewarm water. Cover the mouth of the jar with cheesecloth and secure it in place with an elastic. Let the lentils soak in the water for about 12 hours. After 12 hours of soaking, remove the cheesecloth from the jar. Place an inverted strainer into the opening of the jar and drain out the water, leaving the lentils in the jar. Fill the jar with clean water and screw on the lid. Give the lentils a shake to rinse them, and then drain out the water by placing the strainer over the mouth of the jar again. Secure the cheesecloth back onto the mouth of the mason jar. Turn the jar on its side and give the lentils a shake to spread them out. Place the jar in a warm, sunny location and let them germinate for two to four days. Sprouts are generally ready to eat as soon as the sprout tail is about the same length as the original grain, bean, seed, or legume. After eight to 12 hours of germinating, rinse and drain the lentils using the same process as before. Then, cover the jar with the cheesecloth again, turn the jar on its side, and return the lentils to their sunny location. Repeat the rinsing and draining process two to three times daily until the sprouts are ready. You can eat your sprouts plain, add them to salads, put them on sandwiches, or enjoy them any other way you like. Leftover sprouts should be stored in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag and kept in the refrigerator. Fresh sprouts will last for about five to seven days in the fridge.

TL;DR in Russian:

Square scarves can also be worn around your wrist as a sweatband.  To do this, lay it flat out and fold it into a triangle. Grasp the middle point of the triangular scarf and fold it into the middle, so that the scarf looks like a narrow trapezium shape. Use your thumb and forefinger to keep hold of the end.  Use the fingers on the hand you are tying it to to hold it in place. Hold it tight around your wrist when wrapping it around. When you are done, let go of the end with your thumb and tuck both ends inside the wrapped scarf.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте повязку для запястья. Такой платочек носят в виде повязки на запястье. Возьмитесь за противоположный конец шарфа и плотно оберните его вокруг запястья.


Squaring a number, or multiplying it by itself, creates a perfect square. For example, 25 is a perfect square because 5 x 5, or 52, equals 25. Memorizing at least the first ten perfect squares can help you recognize and quickly simplify perfect square roots. Here are the first ten perfect squares:  12 = 1 22 = 4 32 = 9 42 = 16 52 = 25 62 = 36 72 = 49 82 = 64 92 = 81 102 = 100 If you recognize a perfect square under a square root symbol, you can immediately turn it into its square root and get rid of the radical sign (√). For example, if you see the number 25 under the square root sign, you know that the answer is 5 because 25 is a perfect square. Here's the same list as above, going from the square root to the answer:  √1 = 1 √4 = 2 √9 = 3 √16 = 4 √25 = 5 √36 = 6 √49 = 7 √64 = 8 √81 = 9 √100 = 10 Use the perfect squares to your advantage when following the factor method of simplifying square roots. If you notice a way to factor out a perfect square, it can save you time and effort. Here are some tips:  √50 = √(25 x 2) = 5√2. If the last two digits of a number end in 25, 50, or 75, you can always factor out 25. √1700 = √(100 x 17) = 10√17. If the last two digits end in 00, you can always factor out 100. √72 = √(9 x 8) = 3√8. Recognizing multiples of nine is often helpful. There's a trick to it: if all digits in a number add up to nine, then nine is always a factor. √12 = √(4 x 3) = 2√3. There's no special trick here, but it's usually easy to check whether a small number is divisible by 4. Keep this in mind when looking for factors. If the number's factors contain more than one perfect square, move them all outside the radical symbol. If you found multiple perfect squares during your simplification process, move all of their square roots to the outside of the √ symbol and multiply them together. For example, let's simplify √72:  √72 = √(9 x 8) √72 = √(9 x 4 x 2) √72 = √(9) x √(4) x √(2) √72 = 3 x 2 x √2 √72 = 6√2

Squeeze a dollop of soap onto your hand, and spread your palm and fingers as wide as possible. Use your outstretched hand to quickly and efficiently cover the maximum surface area of your body. You may be surprised how much area your hands can cover when they're fully spread out.  For instance, you may be able to lather each leg in one pass if you can almost reach around them.  Try using a scrubber or loofah with body wash already applied. This can be a great way to cover surface area. Work symmetrically with both hands, lathering each side of your body at the same time. Lather each side of your chest and torso, under both arms, up both legs – all in tandem, with your hands spread out. This technique also works with lathering your hair quickly, as well as for drying off quickly. If exfoliation is part of your daily routine, consider doing it in the shower so that it's easier to wash off the skin particles. This is not a way to shower more quickly, per se – but it may help you streamline your general morning routine. You might need to look in the mirror to shave your face, but you can shave other parts of your body while the water streams around you. Try shaving your chest, your legs, or any other area that needs a touch-up. Lather up with lotion or shaving cream. Shave gently and methodically, and let the water wash away the loose hairs. This works best for just a touch-up shave. If your body is very hairy, then you run the risk of clogging the shower drain.

TL;DR in Russian:

Эффективно используйте мыло. Пилинг. Побрейтесь в душе.


Squeeze a little section of toothpaste — the kind that has baking soda in it is best — onto your hands and rub them together. After you’ve been rubbing them together for a couple of minutes, wash your hands off with clean water. Pour a small amount of salt into your hands and rub them together. You may want to moisten the salt with some water to improve its adhesion. When finished, rinse the salt away with water and dry your hands. You can also lather your hands up with dish detergent before sprinkling salt on your hands. Scrub them together to begin eliminating the odor, and rinse your hands with clean water once you’re finished. If you don’t mind your hands smelling like coffee, use coffee grounds to eliminate any odors. Cover your hands entirely with coffee grounds and then gently scrub your hands together in a bowl of water. As an alternative, you can also rub whole coffee beans together in your hands until the odor starts to disappear. Mix together 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water in a bowl to create a paste. Rub the paste all over your hands thoroughly for at least 1 minute. Rinse the mixture off with clean water afterwards.

Squeeze out a dime sized amount of bodywash, as you do not need much to clean your whole body. Avoid using too much bodywash at once, as this can irritate or dry out your skin. Take a warm shower or bath when you use the bodywash so you can wet and clean your entire body. Use a wet washcloth to apply the bodywash from head to toe. Gently rub your body with the washcloth to help clean your skin and remove dead skin cells.  Avoid using just your hands to apply the bodywash, as it is more difficult to clean your entire body with just your hands. Make sure you rinse out the washcloth regularly to prevent germs and bacteria from accumulating. You can also replace the washcloth once a week. Stay away from using a loofah to apply the bodywash, as it can harbor bacteria and germs. It can also increase your chances of developing acne. Bodywash is made for your body only. Use a facial cleanser for your face. Putting bodywash on your face can increase the risk of developing skin irritation and dry patches in this area. Once you have cleaned your body with the bodywash, use warm water in the shower or bath to rinse it off. Make sure you get all the bodywash off of your skin. Having soap residue left on your skin can irritate and dry out your skin. Use a clean towel to gently pat your body until it is completely dry. Do not rub your body dry, as this can irritate your skin.

TL;DR in Russian:

В душе или ванне используйте небольшое количество средства для очищения тела. Нанесите очищающее средство на тело с помощью мочалки. Не наносите средство, предназначенное для очищения тела, на лицо. Смойте очищающее средство теплой водой. Насухо промокните тело.


Squeeze out a small dollop of scar cream onto 1 finger and rub it into your boil scars. When it’s fully rubbed in, the cream should be absorbed into the scar tissue. If the cream is visible after you’ve rubbed it in, you’ve probably applied too much. Leave the cream in place for 3–5 hours before washing it off, unless the product packaging directs otherwise.  You can apply scar treatment cream to boil scars anywhere on your body. Be sure to let the boil heal fully before applying the cream, though. Common brands of scar treatment gels include NewGel, BioCorneum, and Kelo-cote. These products are designed to shrink scar tissue and to lighten its appearance. Many scar gels also contain medium-SPF sunblock. The sunblock will help protect your scars from being damaged and darkened by sunlight. Squeeze a generous dollop of the gel into 1 hand and spread the gel across your boil scar tissue until it’s covered in a thick layer of gel. Wait 4–5 minutes for the gel to dry before putting any clothing or covering over the scars. In most cases, you only need to apply silicone gel twice per day. Continue using the gel twice daily until the boil scar shrinks in size and loses its raised texture.  Silicone gel has no side effects and does not cause pain when it’s applied to scar tissue.  Silicone gel works slowly. In most cases, you’ll need to apply the gel for at least 6 months before you begin to see results. While this may feel like a discouraging amount of time to wait, don’t give up! Silicone products work well and are very effective, so you’ll likely be happy with the results. If you don’t see results within 9-10 months, ask your doctor if another treatment method would be more effective.  Silicone gel is widely sold at drugstores and pharmacies. You can also check for it in the pharmacy section of a large supermarket. You can also tape a silicone gel sheet on the scar for 12-24 hours per day for 2-6 months. Wash the sheet daily and replace it with a new one every 10-14 days. Get a pressure garment or bandage that has...

Используйте химический пилинг, чтобы уменьшить выпуклые шрамы после фурункулов. Крем с витамином Е — натуральная альтернатива для лечения шрамов.


Squeeze the eraser to remove any excess water before applying it to the hair dye stain. Remember to test the eraser on a small, hidden area first before applying it to larger surfaces. Make sure to scrub the stain gently. However, if the stain is not coming out, you may scrub harder. If the eraser becomes dry, re-wet it and keep scrubbing until the hair dye stain is removed. Wipe a clean, dry towel over the area. If you want, you can clean the area first with a wet towel before drying it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Смочите меламиновую губку под проточной водой. Потрите загрязненный участок круговыми движениями. Протрите поверхность насухо, используя чистое полотенце.


Squeeze the juice of 2 fresh lemons into a bowl, then mix in 8 fluid ounces (240 ml) of water. Pour this mixture over your hair and scalp, wait a few minutes, and then rinse it out with warm water. The excess coconut oil should wash out with it. You can also add a few tablespoons of honey to the mixture to soften your hair. Work the mixture through your hair and scalp, into a lather. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then wash it out. The coconut oil should rinse out with the aloe and shampoo. Beat 2-3 eggs together in a bowl. Add 32 fluid ounces (950 ml) of water and mix together, forming an egg wash. Pour this egg wash over dry hair and rub it in. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then wash it out with lukewarm water. The coconut oil should be gone by the time you finish rinsing. Do not use hot or even lukewarm water to rinse the egg wash out, because the heat will cook the eggs in your hair. To avoid the scrambled egg effect, make sure the water is cool. Mix 1-2 tablespoons (7-14 g) of baking soda with just enough water to form a fairly thick paste. While your hair is dry, apply the paste to your roots and scalp. Focus on the oiliest areas, like the crown of the head. Once you’ve covered the oily areas, rinse out the paste with warm water. It should wash out easily and take the coconut oil with it.  Don’t work this paste through the rest of your hair--focus only on your scalp. The baking soda will bond with the coconut oil, but won’t stick too firmly to your hair.

TL;DR in Russian:

Смойте масло при помощи лимонной кислоты, которая содержится в лимонном соке. Добавьте 1 чайную ложку (5 мл) геля с алоэ вера в свой обычный шампунь. Используйте яичную смесь, чтобы удалить масло и обогатить волосы природным белком. Сделайте пасту из пищевой соды для кожи головы.


Squeeze your feet into the new leather shoes. Heat each shoe in turn with a hairdryer, bending your feet back and forth as much as is possible. Blow with heat for 20-30 seconds at a time. Keep the shoes on as they cool. Put on thinner socks or pantyhose. Try on the shoes. If you can feel enough of a difference, the shoes are stretched. If not, repeat the process. This conditioning will restore any depleted moisture caused by the heat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте очень толстую пару носков. Сядьте где-нибудь поудобнее. Перестаньте обдувать ботинки. Снимите толстые носки. Нанесите кондиционер для кожаной обуви или седельное мыло.


Squinting can be a natural reaction to brightness but it can also be a habit that you have formed. Ask yourself whether you're squinting has caused any frustration, anxiety, or self-consciousness. Chances are that your social network has already mentioned something as they will notice it more than you because it may already have become ingrained. Habits are formed automatically from repetition so identifying squinting as a bad habit means that you have to make a conscious effort to prevent it from occuring. Notice whenever you are squinting and evaluate the setting. Do you squint whenever you're talking to your boss? Do you squint whenever you're meeting someone new? Chances are there is a cue or context that brings about your squinting. Keep a journal to record when you squint. After a few weeks you will clearly be able to see a pattern unless someone has already pointed it out to you. Whether you developed squinting as a way to cope with stress and anxiety or simply out of childhood boredom, ask yourself why you ultimately feel the need to squint. There is always a strong emotion associated with whatever triggers your bad habit. For example, many people chew their nails because they are anxious so ask yourself what emotions you are feeling when you catch yourself squinting. The emotions may be hidden deep beneath the surface so take the time to evaluate the context. Talk to your social circle to get at the heart of the matter. Habits are difficult to break especially if you have been doing it most of your life. Once you know what triggers your blinking and what ultimately motivates it, make a conscious effort to replace the habit with something more positive. For example, if you squint when you are at parties because you are insecure that no one will speak to you, try smiling instead. This presents self-confident and open body language. Even if you only attempt to stop squinting, positive reinforcement will make each successive attempt easier. Whether it's verbal praise or a material reward, remain positive...

TL;DR in Russian:

Люди часто щурятся по привычке, а не из-за необходимости. Определите факторы, которые побуждают вас щуриться. Подумайте, почему у вас выработалась привычка щуриться при определенных обстоятельствах. Подумайте о том, чтобы заменить вредную привычку щуриться чем-то полезным. Если вам удалось воздержаться от того, чтобы щуриться, поощряйте себя за это.


Squirrels will find and feast on the seed you place out for birds. Constructing a squirrel feeder may help keep squirrels away from food set out for other wildlife. Any feeder placed too close to the house may encourage the rodents to try to gain entry. Squirrels are also very destructive and will chew through parts of your home or get into the attic. The squirrel feeder needs to be in a separate area so the squirrels will stay away from places you don't want them to be. Squirrels are very territorial and will soon claim their feeder as their own. Locate an area of your property that has shrubbery or trees which will give protection and will provide a way for the squirrels to escape. Once you have found the ideal location for your squirrel feeder, you will need to decide which type of squirrel feeder you would like to build and select a food supply with which to stock the feeder.  The food source you select often plays a role in deciding what sort of feeder you may want to build. Squirrels like to eat corn and will find a multitude of ways to get to it. Also, corn is cheap and readily available in most areas, making it an ideal source of food for a squirrel feeder. Native nuts are a good choice of food. Walnuts, acorns, pecans, or whatever nuts grow in your area are natural squirrel food. Of course, these must be raw and not salted or flavored. Sunflower seeds are also a good food for squirrels. Many people feed squirrels peanuts, but unless they are roasted to kill a toxic mold, squirrels can get sick from eating them. While squirrels will certainly take advantage of a readily available food source like peanuts, they are of limited nutritional value to squirrels. Squirrels also need a source of calcium to be healthy. Consider buying a special calcium mixture made for squirrels or provide occasional bones for your squirrels to gnaw.

TL;DR in Russian:

Защитите кормушки для птиц на своем участке от набегов белок. Размещайте кормушки для белок в стороне от дома. Найдите в своем саду место подальше от птичьих кормушек. Выберите подходящее для белок место. Выберите кормушку и тип пищи.


Squirt a cream moisturizer (like a curl defining cream) into the palm of your hand and rub it through your hair. Ensure that each section of hair is evenly moisturized. Take a rubber brush and slowly brush from the tip of your hair towards your scalp to detangle the hair. This will prevent damage to your hair. If you have dry curly hair, consider detangling your hair with a Denman brush. The rubber can help spread moisturizing products evenly through your hair as you brush. If you have curly hair, twist each hair section on the back of your head tightly. You should be able to make a couple of twists from each section of hair. This is a protective style that will keep your moisturized and detangled hair out of your face as you moisturize the front of your hair. For an even tighter twist, consider twisting the very tip of each strand of hair so that it's tightly wound around itself. Bring the front section of hair down onto your forehead. Rub edge control gel into the edge that separates the front section of hair with the back sections of hair. Work the gel into the edge along your scalp. Brush the hair back and apply edge control along the edge of hair where it meets your forehead. Edge control will help smooth and hold any flyaway strands of hair and will add moisture to the hair near your scalp. Once you've applied edge control gel to the front section of hair, twist it into a protective side plait or braid. The end of the twist should be one one side of your face. This way, you can tuck it behind your ear, if your hair is long enough. If you want the plait twist to lay flat, ensure that you twist it under rather than over itself. Use bobby pins to pin the front plait or braid twist of hair to the side of your head. Take the edge control gel and use your fingertips to carefully lay your edges down. Dab the gel with your fingertips to the small wisps of hair along your scalp and forehead. Laying down your edges will prevent flyaways and keep the small hairs along your scalp moisturized.

TL;DR in Russian:

Расчешите каждую отдельную прядь волос. Заплетайте волосы. Используйте гель для фиксации краев вдоль передних прядей волос. Заплетите переднюю прядь волос. Закрепите волосы невидимками и пригладьте волосы по краям.


Squirt a few spoonfuls of the liquid dish soap into the palms of your hands and rub it through the greasy hair. Rinse the soap out with warm water until the water runs clear and there aren't any bubbles.  Consider using a conditioner after using the dish soap because the dish soap will strip your hair of its natural oils. Be careful not to get any detergent in your eyes. Try using a detachable shower head to rinse your hair. This way you can hold it up to your scalp and use your free hand to shield your eyes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте жидкое мыло для посуды с обезжиривающим эффектом для расщепления масла.


Squirt a little cream-based moisturizer onto the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and run the moisturizer through your synthetic hair. The moisturizer will help the synthetic hair hold the curl. You can also use an olive oil in place of the cream moisturizer. Keep the hair in the perm rods and let them cool and dry completely. They may dry quickly or take a full day to dry, depending on how much hair you wrapped on each curling rod. If you want to sleep with the perm rods in so your curls set overnight, just wear a protective cap. If you're short on time, you could blow dry the hair. Just ensure that the blow dryer is on the lowest setting.

TL;DR in Russian:

Увлажните искусственные волосы. Высушите волосы.


Squirt a quarter-sized amount of the mask into a small bowl. Dip a clean brush into the mixture and spread it evenly across your skin. You can apply it over your face or just on blemish-prone areas. Consider spreading it on your t-zone (between your nose and forehead) if you have acne or blackheads.  You can use a wide, flat foundation brush or one made specifically for applying masks. If you don't have a brush, you can use clean fingertips to apply the mask. Try to be as gentle as you can when you spread the charcoal mask on blemish-prone areas to avoid irritation. Because the skin around your eyes and lips is delicate, don't apply the charcoal mask to them. Apply the mask while you're standing in front of a mirror. This way you can see exactly where you're spreading the mask. The mask should dry completely and it will probably feel tight or itchy on your skin. If the mask begins to feel uncomfortable or painful, you should wash it off without waiting for the full 10 minutes to pass. Start at the bottom of the mask and slowly peel upwards towards the top of your face. If you only applied the mask to your t-zone, you can peel near the sides of your nose and pull up towards your forehead. You might notice small bits of the black charcoal mask left on your face. Wash your skin with a gentle cleanser and rinse it off with cool water. Apply a gentle moisturizer that won't clog your pores and let your skin air dry. To limit skin irritation, consider using the charcoal mask just when you have zits or blemishes. Because the charcoal mask will remove the topmost layer of skin and hair from your face, you should wait at least 2 weeks before doing another charcoal mask. If you have eczema or sensitive skin, avoid using charcoal masks, which could damage your skin.

TL;DR in Russian:

Распределите маску по лицу. Не наносите маску на области вокруг глаз и губ. Подождите 7–10 минут. Отлепите маску. Умойте и увлажните лицо после использования маски. Используйте угольную маску каждые две недели или реже.


Stack whole dry mint leaves in airtight containers. Make sure that the containers are sealed as tightly as possible.  Canning jars with tight lids, metal, non-porous and non-absorbant containers. Paper, cardboard, plastic and wood containers absorb the volatile oils from all mint family plants. Label each container with the current date, the contents of the bag, and the amount in the bag. If possible, store the mint as whole leaves and crush it just before using it rather than crushing the mint before storing it. The flavor and aroma will last longer if the leaves are kept whole. Keep an eye on the mint for the first few days. If any moisture develops, you will need to dry the mint longer.  Simply remove the mint and re-dry it using one of the processes outlined above. Mint and other herbs will quickly develop mold if they are not stored in dry conditions. For the best flavor, use the mint within a year. Do not use paper or cardboard containers. These containers will absorb the aromatic oils, thereby causing the mint to lose its flavor faster.

TL;DR in Russian:

Переложите мяту в чистый герметичный контейнер. Остерегайтесь влаги. Храните в прохладном, темном месте.


Stack your plates and put them in the microwave. Keep your microwave on its regular setting and heat them for 30 seconds per plate. Once they are finished, use an oven mitt to remove the plates since they will get hot. Preheat your oven to the lowest setting, usually around 150 to 200 °F (66 to 93 °C). Once the oven is hot, place your stacked plated inside and leave them there for a couple minutes. Use an oven mitt to take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Use a toaster oven that's large enough to fit your plates if you want to preserve energy. Plate warmers look like a large foldable heating pad that you can stack plates on. Plug the plate warmer in and turn it on. Wrap the entire plate in the warmer and then place another plate on top. Continue stacking the rest of your plates to heat them thoroughly for 5 minutes before you serve your food.  Plate warmers can be purchased online or in kitchen specialty stores. In a pinch, you can use a large heating pad meant for backs. These can be purchased at your local pharmacy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте микроволновую печь, чтобы быстро разогреть тарелки. Разогревайте тарелки в духовке (если они пригодны для этого) при минимальном режиме. Приобретите электрический подогреватель тарелок, чтобы не использовать для этой цели другие приборы.


Stage makeup and latex is designed to give you a realistic look that you could use on stage. But, you can also use it for a costume, party, or simply for fun.  You will need:  Liquid latex. Ben Nye makes a good liquid latex that is often used in the theatre. Brushes. Fake blood. Tissue paper. Try to use plain tissue paper without etching or designs. Dark eyeshadow. It’s also a good idea to lay some newspaper down as liquid latex and the fake blood can get messy. Liquid latex dries pretty quickly so you want to work in smaller sections rather than one large area. Press the tissue paper down on the latex. The tissue paper will stick pretty well to the latex. You can then pull and tear away the edges of the tissue paper which aren’t attached.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте все необходимое. Поместите бумажную салфетку на латекс.


Stain colors the wood, but you also need to protect your hard work by applying an exterior urethane finish on the surface of the stain to seal and protect it. Finish comes in flat, semi-gloss or high gloss, and will need to be applied in several coats. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions.  Water-based finishes are somewhat more environmentally friendly, but can also result in that "peach fuzz" texture that the stain creates as well. Apply the finish using a similar application and buffing process, using the steel wool or sandpaper between coats. Wipe down the surface with a wet rag. Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before applying finish, sanding it lightly if necessary before you begin. Follow the same basic procedure and pattern for applying the finish, using long even strokes and a uniform coat with the brush. Use a cloth to wipe off and smooth out excess finish if necessary. Read the manufacturer's instructions to find out how long to wait between coats, usually somewhere between two and six hours. Apply at least two more coats for a thorough, even finish over the first coat. which will be more heavily sanded than usual for a finish coat. By the time you get to the last coat, you shouldn't be sanding at all. When you've applied all the coats of finish, let the door dry thoroughly and wipe it down with a clean cloth to make sure it's completely dust free and clean before hanging it back in place. If you removed the hardware from the door, reattach it as before ad get your door ready to hang back up in the frame. Have a partner help to hold it in place while you screw the fixtures back in and reinsert the hinge pin into place to complete the job.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите подходящее для вашей двери уретановое покрытие. Используйте шерсть или пенную кисть, чтобы нанести отделку. Отшлифуйте все неровности, которые появятся после первого отделочного слоя. Прикрутите назад все металлические детали.


Stainless steel clothespins are ideal for sheets, towels, play clothes, and any other items that won't pull out of shape or stretch. Metals pins can easily secure bedding and other heavy items and they won’t rust or decay. Stainless steel clothespins last the longest. Sheets, blankets, pillowcases, and sturdy clothing such as denim can be hung with wooden clothespins. Delicate clothing or items with lace, beading or other trim should not be held by wooden clothespins, as they can catch and tear the fabric. Wooden clothespins can also develop mildew, so be sure to allow them to dry before storing them. Plastic clip-on pins are best for underwear, t-shirts, knit items, and stretch wear. They won’t stain or catch on your clothing, and lighter items will be held securely by plastic clothespins. The outdoor elements can deteriorate your clothespins quickly. Allow them to dry after use, collect them in a plastic container, then store them indoors, such as in the laundry room.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте металлические прищепки для предметов из нерастягивающейся ткани. Используйте деревянные прищепки для предметов из плотной ткани. Для хлопчатобумажных и растягивающихся тканей используйте пластмассовые прищепки. Храните прищепки в помещении.


Stainless steel dishwashers and other products have a differentiated surface, with small flecks or striations in it.  These flecks or striations are collectively known as the grain of the stainless steel.  Conduct a close visual inspection of your stainless steel dishwasher to determine what direction the grain is oriented in.  It might be up/down, left/right, or diagonally oriented. Dip a sponge or dishcloth in warm, soapy water.  Move it along the surface of the stainless steel dishwasher in a motion consistent with its grain.  For instance, if the grain of your stainless steel dishwasher is oriented up/down, wipe with your sponge or dishcloth using an up/down motion. If you wish, you could substitute a specially-formulated stainless steel cleaning product for warm, soapy water.  Bar Keeper’s Friend, for instance, is a popular product. Once you’ve washed the stainless steel dishwasher, use a dry sponge or dishcloth to dry it.  Wipe away the warm, soapy water by moving the cloth or sponge along the direction of the dishwasher’s grain.  In other words, if the grain of your stainless steel dishwasher is oriented in an up/down direction, move the dry cloth or sponge in an up/down direction. Cleaning solutions that contain chlorine should not be used to clean the exterior of your stainless steel dishwasher.  This could cause corrosion.  Likewise, do not use steel wool or other harsh cloths, as doing this could lead to scratching the surface.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте направление зерен на нержавеющей стали. Вымойте наружную поверхность посудомоечной машины. Насухо вытрите посудомоечную машину из нержавеющей стали. Не используйте абразивные чистящие средства.


Stainless steel scratches easily, and even a mild kitchen scrubbing pad will mar the surface.  Use a microfiber cloth. They work better than lint-free cotton because they leave less fibrous material on the surface of the stainless steel Clean and shine your refrigerator with paper towels. If you want a super, non- streak shine, first clean the surface with the microfiber cloth and your favorite cleaning agent, and then wipe down the refrigerator with paper towels.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте неабразивную ткань.


Stains are actually created by perspiration reacting to the aluminum found in most deodorants and antiperspirants. The combination of the protein found in your sweat combining with the aluminum creates the yellow stain. Tom’s of Maine makes an aluminum free line of deodorant. Caking on the deodorant or antiperspirant could lead to worse discoloration. Try to use sparingly. Excess deodorant will only cling onto your clothing and create more stains. Before wearing, after washing, turn the garment inside out. Sprinkle baby powder liberally over armpit areas and iron. This works best for cotton or cotton blend fabrics. To keep stains away from nicer dress shirts, use an undershirt as a buffer zone between your sweat and the garment. Wash stained garment immediately after wearing and pretreat with a stain removal product, such as OxiClean or Spray and Wash. Fresh stains are far easier to treat than old ones. By consistently treating the stain, you keep the garment clean and prevent it from settling into the fabric.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте дезодоранты и антиперспиранты, в состав которых не входит алюминий. Используйте меньше дезодоранта или антиперспиранта. Принимайте профилактические меры. Носите недорогие нижние рубашки. Выводите желтые пятна перед каждой стиркой.


Stale, day-old bread will work the best for this recipe. The more rustic and hearty the bread is, the better! Keep beating the eggs until they are smooth and pale yellow with no streaks remaining. You can do this by hand with a whisk, or you can use a stick blender. Beat everything together once more with your whisk until the texture is smooth and the color is consistent. For a more traditional flavor, add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. A nonstick frying pan will work the best, but you can use a regular one as well—grease it well with about 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of coconut oil (or non-dairy butter). The pan needs to be hot enough to sizzle a droplet of water. Make sure that you soak both sides of the bread in the batter and that it is completely soaked through. Hold the slice over the bowl for a moment and let the excess batter drip back into it. Place the bread onto the pan. If your pan is big enough, you can add another slice of batter-soaked bead—just make sure that the edges are not touching. Fry the bread for 2 to 4 minutes, flip it over with a spatula, then cook it for another 2 to 4 minutes. It's ready when it is crispy and golden-brown. The pan may start to turn dry after a few batches. If this happens, simply add more coconut oil (or non-dairy butter) to it. Keep the already-made toast by covering it with a clean towel. You can serve it jut as it is, or garnish it with your choice of toppings. Maple syrup and/or non-dairy butter are the most traditional, but you can also try toasted coconut or a sliced banana.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нарежьте хлеб на кусочки толщиной 2 см. Взбейте яйца в неглубокой миске. Смешайте кокосовое молоко, сахар, ванильный экстракт и соль. Нагрейте сковороду на среднем огне. Опустите кусочек хлеба в яичную смесь. Поджарьте тост на сковороде с обеих сторон. Переложите готовый тост на тарелку и поджарьте остальные. Подавайте французский тост к столу.


Stand directly in front of the attacker so that the vertical center of your body lines up with the vertical center of your attacker's body. When performing an upper-cut, you will need to bring your arm up along this center line until you reach the attacker's chin. As such, you will need to be in a position where you have access to the center line of your attacker's body. Use your non-dominant hand to block and swipe at your attacker's block. Keep the hand near eye level so that it draws attention. Keeping this hand free allows you to defend yourself against your attacker's strikes and also causes your attacker to shift their attention away from your dominant hand. Swing your dominant arm up along your attacker's center line with your fingers slightly bent, exposing the heel of your palm. The palm should face your attacker's face.  Do not make a fist. The heel of your hand is located just above the wrist and should be aimed at your attacker's chin. Strike just below the chin of your attacker, snapping their head back and knocking them out.  Striking the attacker here throws the head back and pinches the nerves at the top of the spinal column, causing the attacker to black out. Using the palm of your hand gives you a greater surface area to work with in bare-handed fighting. It also protects your fingers, thereby saving your hand and preventing damage to the one "weapon" you have access to in the fight.

TL;DR in Russian:

Встаньте по центру к противнику. Прикройте глаз недоминантной рукой. Быстро нанесите удар открытой рукой под подбородок противника. Бейте костью ладони.


Stand near a table at first so you can get used to how it feels to put your weight on your heels, where your wheels are. Rocking back on your heels is how you roll. Now that you're familiar with your heelys, time to put them to the test. Rock back on the heel of one foot, and use the toe of your other foot to take a step and push forward. As you push forward, transfer your weight to the heel. Now that you're in motion, put the heels of both feet on the ground and roll. Don't lean back too far, or you might fall on your rear end!  Keep your weight balanced over your heels. Keep one foot slightly ahead of the other foot. When you want to go faster, use one of your feet to push off again, just like you would if you were riding a scooter - only the wheels are attached to your foot instead of a board. Leaning back so that the heel part of your shoes (the part behind the wheels) touches the ground will bring you to a slow stop. You can also slam your toes down, but you'll have to start running, since your upper body may keep going forward if you are moving very fast. Get comfortable with stopping both ways.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поднимите носки вверх и отклонитесь назад на пятки. Оттолкнитесь одной ногой. Балансируйте на пятках. Оттолкнитесь снова. Остановитесь откинувшись на пятки.


Stand near a tall wall or pole and raise your hand as far as you can. Have a friend measure where your hand reaches up to (make a mark with chalk or a similar marking tool). Then jump with that same hand raised, and have your friend try to measure where your fingertips hit the wall. Subtract your original measurement from your jump measurement. This is your current vertical leap. You'll need to keep track of your measurements and when they were taken. Write the date you took the measurements and how high you jumped. There are several options for tracking your measurements, depending on your preferences. You could use paper, your computer, or your phone.  Keep it simple by writing down your numbers. Type your numbers into a document or spreadsheet if you prefer to use the computer. Keep track of the numbers on your phone in the notes app or a word processing app. How often you measure your vertical leap is up to you, but measuring weekly will provide consistency and allow time for improvements between measurements. If you forget to measure on your normal day, measure the next time you get a chance.

TL;DR in Russian:

Измерьте высоту прыжка. Выберите способ ведения учета своего прогресса. Продолжайте проверять высоту прыжка еженедельно.


Stand or sit still. Breathing slowly and deeply, take several full breaths. At the top of an inhale, hold your breath by closing the back of your throat. Use a stopwatch to time how long you can hold your breath. If you're happy with the time, you may feel ready to hit the pool. If not, you can increase your lung strength and capacity through breathing exercises and regular physical activity. You may have heard that people can hold their breath underwater for several minutes. This is thanks to the mammalian diving reflex, which makes it possible for mammals to hold their breath longer underwater than on land.  This is a survival instinct and is not to be relied upon.  Further, people who set records for holding their breath regularly practice their endurance and do so under particular conditions. Just because you are constantly breathing doesn't mean you are getting the most out of your breath. Abdominal breathing exercises that strengthen your lungs and diaphragm, the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen, can help you to breathe more consciously and efficiently.  Lie down on a flat surface. Use a pillow under your head if desired, and/or under your knees, if you have pain in your low back. Place one hand on your chest, in the area of your heart, and the other just below your rib cage. Breathe in slowly through your nose. The hand on your belly should rise, but the hand on your chest should remain still. Contract your stomach muscles and exhale slowly for six seconds through puckered lips. Again, the hand on your chest should remain still throughout the exhale. Practice this sequence 5-10 minutes a few times a day. As the exercise becomes more habitual and easy, you may place a book, bag of rice, or sandbag (available at yoga supply stores) on your abdomen to increase the strength of your diaphragm. This is exercise that increases your heart rate. Improved cardio-respiratory function and more efficient use of oxygen are some of the benefits of a regular fitness routine. For general health,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте, как долго вы сможете задерживать дыхание вне бассейна. Тренируйтесь дышать диафрагмой. Регулярно выполняйте аэробные упражнения. Узнайте, можно ли в бассейне долго находиться под водой.
