Cardstock is going to be the best material to use for your paper mask, but you can also use heavy cardboard or even a sturdy paper plate. Choose any color you’d like and decide what shape you want. You can make a mask to cover your eyes, half your face or the entire thing. Decide what shape best fits the occasion and draw it on the cardstock. To make your mask symmetrical, fold your paper in half and draw half of the mask. Place it up to the window and trace the shape on the other half of your paper. You can also cut out the half-shape while your mask is still folded, just be sure that the center is along the fold or you'll end up with two separate halves. To make sure the eye holes are in the right place, first hold the mask in front of your face, then use a pencil to make a small mark on the area in front of your eyes. You can then draw the eyes around the mark. Do the same for the mouth if making a full-face mask. Use an X-Acto knife or a razor blade to cut out two holes for the eyes. If you’ve decided to make a full-face mask, cut out the mouth hole as well.  If you don't have an X-Acto knife or a razor blade - or if there isn't an adult present - you can cut them out with scissors. Just fold the mask across where you want to cut the eye and cut a small hole. You can then insert your scissors through the hole to cut out the remaining shape of the eye. Don’t cut out your full mask yet. Leave the extra paper around the shape in case you find that you want a larger one while you’re decorating.

Care is given to prevent further damage and relieve pain, but not a lot can be done to speed up the healing process. The use of cold water or cold compress can reduce the inflammation by constricting the blood vessels and reducing the blood flow in the affected area.  The cool temperature helps to numb nerve endings, providing you with instant, localized pain relief from the burning sensation of the blistered sunburn. You can also use soaks and compresses with Burrow’s solution (a solution of aluminum acetate in water). Burrow’s solution can usually be found in drugstores. When taking a bath, use cool water and relax for 10 to 20 minutes; this can help relieve the pain of a sunburn. Repeat as often as you like  for several days.  If you use a face towel, soak it to the cold water and apply it to the affected skin. Warm baths and the utilization of soaps or bath oils is not advisable, because these can irritate the skin and increase discomfort. Make sure the temperature of the water when you shower is just below lukewarm. Pay attention to the flow of the water, making sure it is very gentle so it does not aggravate your pain.  In general, if you can avoid showering, do so. The pressure of the shower could prematurely pop your sunburn blisters, leading to pain, infection, and scarring. After showering, pat dry your skin using gentle movements. Don’t rub or wipe the skin with a towel as this can cause irritation. If the pain of the sunburn is bothering  you, you can take anti-inflammatory analgesic oral medication such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin.  Ibuprofen (Advil) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It also reduces hormones that trigger fever. Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid)is a drug that works as an analgesic, relieving pain by inhibiting pain signals in the brain. It is also an antipyretic, a drug that reduces fever. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is safer than aspirin for children who may have a sunburn. Acetaminophen...

Career objectives are not usually included in resumes. However, in some cases it can be beneficial for you to include an objective.  If you're changing fields, like going from marketing to accounting, an objective can help employees see how your marketing specific skill sets could be applicable to accounting.  If you're very young and have limited experience, an objective might help you sell yourself to an employee even if your experience is small.  If you're applying for a specific position, always include an objective. Watch out for certain pitfalls people encounter when writing a career objective. Make sure your objective is free of any of the following common errors:  Being too vague Longer than 3 sentences Focusing on your skill set without explaining how its applicable to the advertised position  You should also avoid cliches. Phrases like "dynamic self starter with an entrepreneurial spirit" are both incredibly vague and overused. Avoid phrasing that sounds too familiar. An employer is likely to toss out a career objective that's laden with cliches. You should never send out the same objective for multiple jobs. Always cater your objective based on the skills a job posting is asking for.

Carefully adjust the mantel so that the fireplace is framed evenly, with the mantel extended an equal distance on either side of the hearth. Use the measuring tape to make sure the position is ideal, and follow with the use of a level to make sure the mantelpiece is perfectly horizontal. You want to make sure the mantel is level not only side to side, but also front to back. Use a torpedo level to check the level front to back. Using a piece of chalk or a pencil, make an outline around the edges of the mantel, both along the top and the sides of the fireplace. Once the marking is complete, pull the mantel away from the fireplace and position it face down on a smooth surface. Make a second set of lines, which will serve as the outer edge of the mounting boards, also called cleats.  One way to measure the cleat is to fit it into the back of the mantel like it will be on the wall. Use a measuring tape to measure the length from the top edge of the mantel to the bottom edge of the cleat. Place the measuring tape along the line drawn in step 2, and then use the measurement and draw a new line below the first. For example, if the length from the top of the mantel to the bottom of the cleat is 3", measure 3" down from the line on the wall and draw a second line. Another method to measure the cleat is to measure the size of the inside of the mantel from the top of the shelf to the edge just above where you will place your cleat. Then, measure the length of the side of the cleat you will affix to the wall. Add those totals together. For example, if the measurement from the mantel shelf to the edge is 2" and the length of the cleat is 1-3/8", then your measurement will be 3-3/8". Draw a line under the line on the wall using your measurement. The mounting boards will be affixed to the actual wall surrounding the hearth at strategic points, creating a framework for the mantel. A minimum of 3 mounting boards is required, 1 for the top and one for each side, although additional cleats can be used.  Measure the size of the...

Carefully apply an even, barely visible layer of dust around the perimeter of the carpet. The insects need to crawl across the dust for it to injure them, and they're more likely to avoid piles or thick layers of dust. Thick layers of DE are also more likely to get kicked up into the air and irritate lungs or eyes. Carpets are usually only treated on the edges so human activity doesn't kick the dust into the air (where it's more likely to make you cough than kill insects). If the carpet is in a side room, you might be able to dust a larger area and stay out of the room for a few days. Diatomaceous earth is not intended for use on upholstery or mattresses, where it can irritate human skin. However, a thin layer around the legs of furniture will affect any insects that crawl up onto the bed or couch. This won't stop the insects from reaching the furniture, but it will expose them to DE on the way and (hopefully) kill them a few days later. Diatomaceous earth is more effective in dry environments. Run a dehumidifier in the room if you have one. A cross-breeze can also help, but avoid pointing fans where they could blow away the powder. As long as you aren't kicking up dust or coughing (which shouldn't happen with proper application), there's no need to remove the diatomaceous earth. It remains effective as long as it stays dry, and often takes a week or more to start killing insects. Since the insects may have laid eggs by then, leaving on the diatomaceous earth for several weeks will help prevent a rebound. It's hard to predict how effective the DE treatment will be. An insect population in one neighborhood may even be more resistant than the same insect species somewhere else. Instead of waiting to see how it goes, attack the insects with multiple treatments at once. Find out about more treatments for bed bugs, cockroaches, carpet beetles, or fleas. Diatomaceous earth is very hard and can quickly ruin a normal vacuum's filter. A normal vacuum might be fine for a single, light application, but a filterless...

Carefully chop or mince 1 medium red onion and 4 cloves of fresh garlic. You can chop these as large or as small as you prefer. Place the prepared onions and garlic in a medium-sized bowl. If you'll be using or garnishing the sauce with green onions, you can slice them now and set them aside. Gather the following ingredients and place them in the bowl that has your onions and garlic:  1 1/2 cups (355 ml) of white vinegar 2 tablespoons of soy sauce 1 teaspoons of salt 1 teaspoon of sugar 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper Stir the sauce so the ingredients are combined and the sugar dissolves. Taste the sauce and adjust the flavor to your liking. You can garnish the sauce with 1 tablespoon of sliced green onion or 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes. Serve the sauce immediately. You can refrigerate and serve this sauce later. Keep in mind that the sauce will become spicier as the onion, chilies and garlic infuse it.

Carefully pick any old cement, food, or other material off of the crown if you can, using a toothbrush, a toothpick, or dental floss, and rinse the crown with water. If you clean the crown and tooth over a sink, make sure to plug it first so that you don’t accidentally drop it down the drain. Using a toothbrush and floss, gently clean the tooth that has lost its crown. The tooth will likely be sensitive, which is normal. Using sterile gauze, gently dry the crown and tooth area. Testing the crown with a dry fit will help you make sure that you can put it back in place. Set the crown in place and bite down very gently.  The crown should not feel like it is sitting higher than your other teeth. If it does, it may need to be cleaned further. If the crown does not seem to fit right one way, turn it and try another way. It is designed to fit securely, so it may take some time to get it properly in place. If you cannot fit the crown in place without cement, do not try to fit it in with cement. If you are successfully able to set the crown in place in a dry fit, then you can try to adhere it to the underlying tooth. Dental cements are designed for the job and will secure the crown best, though other materials will work in a pinch. Choose an adhesive based on what is available to you.  Use dental cement. You can probably find this at a pharmacy. This is different than denture cream; the container of dental cement should be labeled as a fix for a crown or cap that has fallen off. Some cements have to be mixed, while others are pre-mixed. Follow directions carefully. You can also use temporary dental filling material. This is also widely available at pharmacies. Denture adhesive will also work.  If you can’t get denture cement, a loose slurry of flour and water can be used instead. Mix a small amount of flour and water together to make a smooth, loose paste. Do not use superglue or household adhesives to hold the crown in place. While many people are tempted to do this, it can irritate your tissue and tooth. Doing this...

Carefully pour roughly three-fourths of the chocolate mixture onto a glass cutting board or marble slab with a low rim around the edges. Set aside the remaining mixture.  This tempering process may seem like a lot of extra work, but it is strongly recommended that you follow through with it nonetheless. Tempering chocolate causes the cocoa butter to harden in a specific crystalline pattern, and as a result, the dark chocolate will have a more appealing sheen and texture.  Note that untempered dark chocolate may have trouble setting, look blotchy, have a distorted inner texture, or be prone to developing white fat bloom on the surface. Use a flexible plastic scraper or palette knife to spread the chocolate out into as thin and even a layer as possible. Use the knife to scoop the edges of the chocolate into its center, working as quickly as possible. Quickly spread the chocolate out into a thin layer, then immediately scoop it back into its center. Repeat this process for the full amount of time, keeping the chocolate moving throughout the duration of that time limit. Allow this first portion of tempered chocolate to reach a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) before moving onto the next step. Add the chocolate still in the saucepan to the chocolate on the slab. Quickly mix it the two together with a single round of spreading and scooping. After adding the hot chocolate mixture to the tempered chocolate, the temperature should be about 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). To verify that the chocolate has been appropriately tempered, drop a small dab of the chocolate onto an empty space of the marble or glass. It should set very quickly. If the chocolate mixture does not set when tested, continue tempering it for another few minutes before trying again.

Carefully remove the egg from the vinegar. You may notice that it feels quite rubbery. To test the strength of the membrane, try dropping the egg on the table and see if it bounces. Start with just one inch above the table and then increase the height by an inch at a time. At a certain height, the egg will break. Do this activity outside or lay down newspaper before experimenting. The membrane of the egg is permeable to liquid, meaning that water can pass through into the egg. The contents of the inside of the egg contain about 90% water. If you put the egg in a cup that is 100% water, the water will pass through the membrane to equalize the amount of water inside the egg due to a process called osmosis. As the water moves into the egg, the egg swells in size.  Add food coloring to the cup of water to color your egg. You can also shrink the egg after growing it, if desired. Using the same properties of osmosis, you can shrink the egg by placing it in a solution with very little water. Place the egg in a container full of corn syrup. This time, water will pass out of the egg to equalize the amount of water on each side of the membrane. As the water leaves the egg, it will shrivel and shrink. You can put the egg back into a glass of water to grow it again after shrinking it, if desired.

Carefully retrieve the crown from your mouth so that you do not drop it or swallow it. If you have already swallowed it, you are not in danger, but the crown will need to be replaced. If you have lost the crown, you can coat the tooth surface with an over-the-counter dental cement (available at many pharmacies) to temporarily seal the area until a dentist can repair it. Losing a crown is not a true dental emergency. Still, you should contact the dentist so the crown can be repaired. The dentist can tell you what to do and how to care for it until you can get it fixed. Your tooth will be weak, possibly sensitive, and at a greater risk of decay until the crown is fully prepared so do not delay in contacting your dentist for a solution. If no pieces have chipped off of either the tooth or the crown, you should be able to set the crown temporarily back in place. Contact a dentist and do not attempt to reattach the crown if the crown is filled with hard material or a portion of your tooth, rather than mostly hollow. Your crown may be attached to a metal post, and it is hard to fit the sharp tip into the right place, especially if the crown is on a molar. Contact your dentist for the best guidance. Keep the crown in a secure place until you can reattach it, so that you don't lose it. Avoid chewing on tooth that lost the crown until you can reattach it. This will help prevent tooth decay and any further damage to the tooth.

Carefully review concentrations of vitamins and other ingredients in all supplements.  Buy only supplements that abide by recognized manufacturing standards. Search for a supplement that uses purified sources and can provide full detail about concentrations of mercury, heavy metals, and other potential contaminants.  Look for supplements that are endorsed or reviewed by the USP (US Pharmacopeial Convention) — this will be noted on the label.  The USP ensures high quality standards for ingredients and manufacturing practices for supplement companies.  Also, examine the levels of Vitamins A and D to make sure that you will not be consuming higher levels of them than is advisable. Most adults should not exceed 10000 IU of Vitamin A and 5000 IU of Vitamin D each day.  Not all cod liver oil supplements are created equal. You may have to try several varieties before finding one that most appeals to you and meets quality standards There is no nutritional difference between the two types of supplements.  However, capsules can be slightly more expensive.   Whether you take a capsule or a liquid version of cod liver oil is purely a decision of preference.  Liquid supplements often have a noticeable fishy taste, which can often be avoided by taking a supplement in capsule form. Belching a fishy smell or taste is a common side effect of both supplement forms. Consider chilling your cod liver oil capsules or liquid if the taste is not pleasant. Dietary supplements (including vitamins, minerals, protein and herbal supplements) are not approved by the FDA prior to marketing and distribution to the public.  It's important to be aware of how a supplement may make you feel.  Common side effects of cod liver oil supplements include:  belching, bad breath, heart burn and nose bleeds.  High or excessive doses may cause:  increased chance of bleeding, disrupted blood clotting, nausea, loose stools, toxic levels of Vitamin A and D, and hypotension.

Carefully roll the cake in the opposite direction so that it lays flat again. Remove the dishcloth. Scoop some of the filling into the center of the cake and use a knife or spatula to spread it over the surface of the cake, stopping about 1/2 in from the edges. Add as much or as little filling as you'd like. Roll the cake back up in the same direction it was rolled before. Place it in the freezer to let it firm up for an hour. Place the cake on a cake plate or platter for serving. Dust the cake with more powdered sugar, or  make a sugar glaze to pour over the top. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Carefully select the right time to approach your parents for this conversation.  Choose a time when they’re calm and not stressed or distracted. Don’t pounce on them right when they get home from somewhere--and especially don’t approach them as soon as they’re home from work. Don’t try to open the topic when other people are around. You don’t want potentially jealous siblings in the room, nor do you want to approach your parents if their friends or relatives are around (they’re more likely to be stressed or distracted). First and foremost, you need to have the right attitude when approaching your parents with this request.  Open the conversation calmly and maturely with something like, “Do you have a few minutes? There’s something very important I’d like to talk to you about.” Lead into the discussion with a demonstration that you appreciate the things they’ve already given you and the amount of time and energy they put into helping you on a daily basis. You might say something like, “I really appreciate how much time and effort you put into helping me with my homework and making dinner [or fill in the blanks according to your situation]. And I’m really thankful for the bike you gave me for Christmas because it’s really helping me to get around [or, again, fill in as appropriate].” Before asking the question, preface it with something like “You don’t have to say yes or no right now” to let them know that you’re willing to give them time to think it over. Taking away the pressure of an immediate response will help your parents listen to what you have to say without immediately making up their minds; when parents have to immediately decide something, the answer is often no. When you’re ready to pose the question itself, do so politely but also sincerely--that is, don’t be obviously obsequious or saccharine. It will only make your parents suspicious of you and your true motives. Form the question so that you’re opening a dialog rather than dropping a bombshell. You might, for example, say something like “I’d...

Carefully tilt your container of lemon juice and fill the squares in your ice cube tray until they’re almost all the way full. However, avoid overfilling the tray, because the juice will expand a little as it freezes.  By freezing your lemon juice in cubes, it will be easy to grab what you need for a recipe. If you’d like, you can even portion out your lemon juice so you’ll know exactly how much is in each cube. For instance, you might measure 2 US tbsp (30 mL) of lemon juice into each cube. It can take several hours for the lemon juice to freeze. The best way to ensure that the cubes are frozen completely solid is to leave them in your freezer for 8 hours, or overnight. If you try to take the cubes out of the tray before they’re frozen, they’ll break, which could cause you to spill any unfrozen lemon juice. If you want to add a little fresh lemon flavor to a drink or a dish, grab a few ice cubes from the bag. If you're adding them to a cold drink or to a recipe that's being heated, you can put the frozen cubes into whatever you're making without thawing them. If you'd prefer liquid lemon juice, place the cubes in a bowl in your refrigerator to thaw overnight.

TL;DR in Russian:

Carefully turn the boat right side up and place it in a cradle or in slings. This is a good time to build a set of saw horses to set and cradle the canoe in so it won't move while you work on the inside. Gunnels are the top rails of the canoe, which are placed on the inside and outside edges on both sides of the canoe.  Gunnels give a completed look to the canoe, while also serving to protect the sides of the canoe as rub rails. Each gunnel should be about 1-1-1/4"x3/8-1/2" square, with the top outside and inside edges rounded over. Use epoxy and brass or bronze screws to attach the gunnels at the front 24-30" of the gunnels. You can use the epoxy and spring clamps to attach the gunnels to the canoe until the epoxy dries. At the stem ends on top of the canoe you can fit small decks, on top of the rails or between them, if you take the time and effort to make a good fit. Flush decks look the best. Keep in mind that you will have to do one or the other, as epoxy alone will not last when exposed to the sun. When you've finished painting or varnishing the outside, it's time to turn the canoe over and do the inside, clear coat or paint. Sand the inside of the boat, removing any drips or runs. Try to not sand through the top plywood layer.  When all the sanding is done, it's time to coat the inside of the boat with. For best results, do this in two or three thin layers of epoxy, waiting 24 hours between coats. When this is all done you can sand the last coat lightly with a 120 grit sandpaper and then a 220 grit to get a really smooth finish. Wipe away any dust, then paint or varnish the inside. You can add seats before or after you epoxy coat the inside of the boat.  All seats should be about 1-1-1/2" from the bottom of the canoe, not hanging from the gunnels. On a light canoe (such as this one) with a low freeboard, it's best to keep the center of gravity as low in the boat as possible. Let the whole thing set for about a week -- this gives the layers of epoxy and finish time to dry completely.

Carefully wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and rinse with water. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel. Washing the chafed skin is especially important if you've been exercising or sweating a lot. You'll need to wash away the perspiration before treating the skin. Avoid rubbing the skin hard with a towel. You don't want to further irritate dry, peeling skin. Sprinkle powder over your skin. This should help to reduce your skin's friction. You can use talc-free baby powder, baking soda, cornstarch, or another body powder. The use of talcum powder has been brought into question since some studies show it may be a carcinogen, specifically for women if used in the genital areas. Use any kind of petroleum jelly, body balm, diaper rash cream, or product designed to prevent chafing over the skin to reduce your skin's friction. Several products are specifically designed to prevent chafing for athletes. Once you've applied an ointment, you may want to cover the area with a bandage or sterile gauze pad. If the area is very painful or bleeding, ask your doctor for a medicated ointment. You'll be able to spread it on the area much like petroleum jelly. Cool the chafed skin by applying an ice pack right after you finish exercising or begin to notice irritation. Make sure not to apply ice or an ice pack directly to your skin, since this can further damage your skin. Instead, wrap the ice pack in a towel or cloth and keep it near your skin for 20 minutes. This cooling sensation will give you immediate relief. Spread natural aloe vera gel directly from the plant onto the chafed area. You can also purchase aloe vera, but  make sure it has as few additives as possible. This will calm your skin. You may also want to drop a couple of drops of tea tree oil onto a cotton ball. Then, spread it over your skin. This can fight infection and help your skin heal faster. Create a soothing mixture of 2 cups baking soda and 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Then add this to a running bath of lukewarm water. Avoid soaking in very...

Caring for plants in a garden relies heavily on the natural elements and environment in proximity. As a result, the amount of watering you need to do is dependent on what the weather and soil is like in your area. It's generally a good rule of thumb to water your plants 2-3 times a week either by hand with a watering can, or with a sprinkler system. The soil of your garden should be damp without being soggy, and not so dry that it is crumbly and dusty. Check the ideal watering amounts for each plant, as some varieties prefer lots of water while others require very little. Weeds can spring up overnight and ruin a perfectly lovely garden. Weeds aren't only an eyesore, they also take up valuable growing space and use nutrients in the soil that could otherwise go towards growing your garden. As a result, you should try to pull weeds whenever you see them pop up. Grasp each weed as close to the ground as you're able, and then pull it straight up. doing this will increase the likelihood of pulling out the root system and slowing the growth of future weeds.  You can use weed killers in your garden, but most aren't plant-specific and will kill all surrounding plants (not just the weeds). Check for weeds growing underneath the canopy of a plant or bush. Mulch is a type of organic compost that is added to the top of your garden soil to prevent weeds from growing and to trap moisture. Mulching will also add nutrients to the soil as it mixes in over time, helping your plants to grow even larger. You can purchase mulch at most garden supply stores. Simply add a layer of mulch 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) thick over the entirety of the topsoil in your garden.  Be careful not to cover up the base of your plants with mulch, as this will inhibit their growth. This is especially important for small trees and bushes. You can add a layer of organic compost as a substitute for garden mulch, if you want. Keep in mind that compost will not prevent weeds like mulch will, although it is beneficial to your plant's growth. For permanent...

Caring for this plant can be a bit tricky as you need to take care not to overwater or underwater it:  A Christmas cactus is a tropical cactus, not a desert cactus. Unlike most desert cacti, this variety cannot tolerate completely dry soil. If the soil gets too dry, the flowers buds will drop, and the plant will wilt. Feel the soil with your fingers; if it feels dry, it's time to water. Too much watering will cause spots from white rot to appear on the leaves, and the leaves will likely fall off. The soil should be evenly moist for best growth. The rule of thumb is  less water is better than too much water.  When watering, thoroughly water the plant. Before attempting to water the plant again, check to see that the top inch of soil has dried thoroughly first. Mist leaves as well as watering the soil. Water the cactus based on your environment and the time of year. A good method is to water a cactus as follows:   Dry climate, outdoors: Water every two to three days when warm and sunny  Humid, cool or indoors: Water every week During the fall and winter months, the plants should be watered less frequently in order to promote blooming. When October hits, your watering duties are over. You can carefully resume a light watering in November. If it's dry where you live, feel free to place the pot over a tray of moist pebbles. This is all to set up the bloom happening around Christmas. The only other time you should cease watering is after the plant blooms. At this time, cease watering for about 6 weeks to allow the plant to rest. New growth will still appear – and that is when watering should be resumed. One of the most frustrating things that can happen to Christmas cactus is after the flower buds have developed they drop off the plant. Bud drop can be caused by several different conditions. Usually it's because of over-watering, but it can also be due to a lack of humidity or insufficient light. If this starts happening, water the plant less and add some fertilizer to the pot. Move it to an area away from a hot...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поливайте рождественник осторожно. Поливайте кактус в зависимости от условий содержания и времени года. Прекратите полив к октябрю. Событие, которое может вас больше всего разочаровать, это когда у рождественника вырастут бутоны, а потом опадут.


Carne asada is one of the most popular additions to burritos. Carne asada is a marinated skirt, flank, or flap steak that is then grilled over high heat and lightly charred. It is considered a more expensive cut but is still very forgiving on the grill. Like most Mexican meats, it is readily available in a carniceria. Although chicken is not a common meat ingredient for burritos in Mexico, it is increasingly popular in America. There is a ton of versatility to chicken. Here are just three ways to prepare it for your burrito:   Boiled and shredded. Shredded chicken is a more traditional Mexican preparation style.  Sautéed chicken. Sauteed chicken is generally dark-meat chicken and fried with a bit of oil and Mexican spices before being cut into smaller bits.  Chicken mole. Black mole is a perfect compliment to succulent chicken. Try it out if you've never tasted a variation of this dish that 99% of Mexicans have enjoyed. Carnitas is the Mexican name for slow-braised pork — specifically, Boston butt or picnic ham cuts. The meat is first slow-braised to break down the collagens and cook the meat, and then finished off fried or sautéed to develop a crispy texture. "Al pastor" means "in the style of the shepherd," and it probably originated as a Mexican interpretation of Lebanese shawarma. Today, it is a spicy way to cook pork, and it's absolutely delicious. Try this meat out in a burrito. Do it! Chorizo is a spicy pork sausage that comes in a casing. When sautéed, it is deeply aromatic and flavorful. Common in breakfast burritos but also in normal burritos. Barbacoa is the name from which we derive the English word for "barbecue." In modern Mexico, barbacoa refers to meats (usually sheep) cooked slowly over an open fire. Many burrito eaters may not be accustomed to more experimental cuts of meat, but they offer a nice break from the monotony of beer or chicken. Go to your local carniceria and talk with the butcher about picking up some of the following:   Lengua — cow's tongue  Cabeza — cow's head  Tripa —...

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте приготовить carne asada. Попробуйте добавить курицу в бурито. Попробуйте буритос, начиненные carnitas. Приготовьте al pastor. Попробуйте chorizo. Попробуйте barbacoa. Экспериментируйте с другими, более экзотическими видами мяса. Приготовьте тако из говяжьего фарша.


Carom billiards, of any variety, requires two people. It can be played with a third, but standard carom is with two. You'll need your standard billiards table -- 4 feet (1.2 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m), 4 1⁄2 feet (1.4 m) by 9 feet (2.7 m), 5 feet (1.5 m) by 10 feet (3.0 m), or 6 feet (1.8 m) by 12 feet (3.7 m) without pockets. This "without" pockets thing is pretty important. You could play on a pool table (pocket billiards), but you'll soon find that the pockets get in the way and could potentially ruin the game. Here's everything you need to know (and some things you may not) when it comes to the table:  Those diamonds are for you to use! If you know your geometry, you can use them to aim your shot. We'll cover that in the next section (strategy). The rail by where the first player breaks is called the short, or head, rail. The opposite rail is called the foot rail, and the long rails are called the side rails. The area behind which you break, behind the "head string," is called the "kitchen."  The pros play on heated billiards tables. The heat gets the balls to roll more smoothly. It's green so you can look at it for long periods of time. Apparently humans can handle green better than any other color. " That's where you each line up your ball near the baulk cushion (the short end of the table where you break from), hit the ball, and see who can return it closest to the Baulk cushion as the ball slows to a stop. The game hasn't even started yet and it takes skill! If you hit the other player's ball, you forfeit your chance of calling who starts. If you do win the lag, it's generally accepted that you go second. The player who breaks generally wastes their turn setting up the balls, not taking a strategic shot. You'll each need a cue stick, for starters (you had these for the lag, right?). Billiards cues are actually shorter and lighter than their pool counterparts, with a shorter ferrule (the white part near the end) and a thicker butt. Then you'll need three balls -- one white cue ball (heretofore called...

TL;DR in Russian:

Берите друга и к бильярдному столу. С помощью жребия, определите чей первый ход. Приготовьтесь к игре. Определите с напарником правила, по которым вы бы хотели играть. Играйте! Смотрите в точку на бильярдном шаре, куда будете бить кием.


Carpenter ants are large black or dark brown insects with three body segments and six legs. They have bent antennae. The worker ants are wingless, while the reproductive ants have wings. They tend to walk in long trails. Termites, which are a far worse problem to have, have straight antennae and light colored bodies. If you're dealing with termites, read this article. Frass is a sawdust-like material left behind when ants bore into wood to make their nests. It will contains body parts and debris, but will basically look like a pile of light wood shavings. If you see this around your house, it's a telltale sign you've got an ant problem on your hands. Wood that is serving as a nest for ants will have slits or holes. You'll usually see frass scattered nearby as well. Ants like to nest in walls, hollow doors, cabinets, beams, and structural wood. Look for areas where the wood is slightly damp, since ants like to build their nests in moist wood. To find the nest, you'll need to lure the ants out with some bait, then trail them back to the nest so you can figure out exactly where they're hiding. Set out very small bits of honeydew or another sugary fruit near where you believe the nest to be located. When the ants take the bait, follow them back to the nest. You'll probably see them crawl into a space in the wall, a cabinet, or a door. Keep watching until you're sure where the nest is located.  If the nest is visible and accessible, you can get rid of the nest itself by moving to the next step. If the nest is hidden and difficult to reach, you're going to want to use the toxic bait to kill the ants. It will take about three days to go into effect.

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что вы имеете дело именно с муравьями, а не с термитами. Ищите труху. Ищите повреждения древесины. Рядом установите приманку. Отследите муравьев до муравейника.


Carpenter ants prefer to build nests in wood that is softened by moisture and rotting. Look around areas near where you’ve spotted the ants and check for a dripping pipe, a broken seal around a window, or other areas where the wooden structure of your home is getting wet.  Focus your search around windows, doors, and water pipes, as these can create the damp wood that carpenter ants love. Carpenter ants usually nest outdoors in areas like wood piles, damp logs, and wooden deck posts. But if they are in your house, take immediate action before they cause significant damage. If you see carpenter ants entering and exiting the wall at a rotted section of baseboard, for instance, pull away that section of baseboard. Then, if necessary, remove some of the plaster or drywall in that area to investigate deeper into the wall. If you see a huge mass of ants in an area of heavily-damaged wood, you’ll know you’ve found the nest. You’re going to need to repair this area after destroying the nest anyway, so don’t be shy about digging in to find the nest. Alternatively, hire a pest control professional at this point to do the job for you. Choose an insecticide spray that’s marketed for carpenter ants and contains bifenthrin, permethrin, or deltamethrin. Don't be shy when spraying it on the nest--douse it until it's saturated with insecticide. If you follow the application instructions on the package, the insecticide should make short work of the colony.  Keep kids and pets out of the area while you work, and take any other safety measures described on the package. While laying out poison bait traps will kill off a carpenter ant nest over time, you’ll still need to address the rotten, damaged wood in your home anyway. So it’s best to attack the nest directly when dealing with carpenter ants. Reapply the spray if needed (and as per the product instructions) until you don’t see any more ant activity at the nest for 2-3 days. Then, fix any leaky pipes, seal up any gaps letting water in, replace any rotted wood, and close the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте, нет ли мокрой или гнилой древесины рядом с тем местом, где вы заметили муравьев. Откройте то место, где, по вашему мнению, муравьи устроили свое гнездо. Обильно опрыскайте гнездо муравьев-древоточцев инсектицидом, чтобы оно пропиталось им. Устраните поврежденную и гнилую древесину после того, как уничтожите всю колонию муравьев, чтобы избежать подобной проблемы в дальнейшем.


Carpeting is exposed to a lot of dirt and other contaminants. In order to protect carpet, make use of area rugs and runners. You do not have to cover all your carpeting. However, areas where spills are likely would benefit from a rug or runner. For example, you can place a rug under a dining room table. If you have young children, place your area rug where they typically play. Pet urine gives a unpleasant smell and in a long run the odor of urine will be the worst and difficult to be dealt with. So, train your pet to urinate outdoors and you may use repellents on your carpet. Repellents acts effectively to keep your pets away from the carpet. You may find commercial repellents and also you can use white vinegar, lemon juice, rubbing alcohol as repellent agents. Shoes should never be worn on carpeting. This is an easy to way to track in dirt from outside. Always remove your shoes when you enter your home. Encourage guests to do the same. Have a place to set shoes upon entering the home that's away from your carpeting. You do not want to bring items like wine, food, or other beverages near the carpet. Eat and drink over tiled or wood floors in your home. If you have young children, encourage them to play away from the carpeting. The easiest way to deal with stains is to prevent them from occurring.

TL;DR in Russian:

Укладывайте поверх ковровых покрытий половички и ковровые дорожки. Надлежащим образом обучите домашних питомцев и при необходимости используйте репелленты. Не забывайте сразу снимать обувь при входе в дом. Держите подальше от ковров распространенные источники образования пятен.


Carrots like cooler weather, but they still won't take kindly to frost. Their preferred temperature is around 55 °F (13 °C) or a bit warmer, so early spring is fine. However, they don't do well in temperatures over about 85 °F (29 °C). Space your carrots about 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) apart. You can plant them further apart if you wish. Drop 2-3 carrot seeds in each hole. Carrot seeds are tiny and hard to plant. If you drop some, that's fine. You can thin out the plants later once they sprout. Do not pack the medium into the holes since doing so may crush the seeds. Instead, lightly drop the medium into each hole. Make sure you get every hole filled. Pat the soil down gently when you're done. Add enough water to make the medium very wet. You don't need to make puddles, but your soil should be wet to the touch, not just moist. Your seeds need enough water to start the germination process. Use a gentle sprayer so you don't stir up the seeds. Most carrots prefer full sun, meaning they want sun all day long. Choose a spot in your yard or home that isn't shaded during the day, where your carrots will get enough light to be happy and grow well. Always read up on your variety, as some carrots prefer other conditions. For instance, some may prefer partial sun and partial shade.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы планируете выращивать морковь в уличных горшках, посейте ее после окончания весенних заморозков. Подготовьте для семян лунки глубиной около 1 см. Засыпьте лунки слоем грунта. Тщательно полейте посаженные семена. Выставьте горшок с морковью на открытое солнце.


Carry a notebook with you wherever you go and capture the ideas that pop into your head at the time they appear. Few people can afford to be novelists-in-residence without some income source earned by fair means or foul. Unless you're Alain de Botton, who writes living off an inheritance (although now his writing makes the money too), you'd best make the time wherever it's free. Use your time on the bus to and from work, during lunch, after dinner, on the weekends, during vacation blocks. Asking for time off work to write a bestseller should be done with care. Judge the nature of your workplace first––the more conservative the establishment, the less likely this will be something considered worth their loss of your time. Bestsellers do not need to be the best written; some may well be, but it can also take many years before the public catches up with such genius unless you also manage to win a literary prize. If you want to be great now, just start typing or writing, get it down and then fiddle with it later. Procrastination and perfection are the enemies of the bestseller. A plan, an outline, whatever you will. You can mind map it if you prefer. There are lots of rules for doing this. You can even read those too if you like. Or you can just get stuck into it and write, write, write. Not everyone does this the color-by-numbers way, so find your own path.  Fiction: Set out the characters, their traits and quirks, their motivations. This should be fun; fill them out as they grow in your mind. If they're based on your neighbor or ex-lover, make sure they're unrecognizable unless you enjoy being sued. And write out the situations you want to develop in your book, the plot so to speak, the series of events, be they fortunate or not so fortunate. And how will this all end? A cliffhanger, a surprise, a happy ending or a kaboom and everyone dies? Non-fiction: Consider the need for sections, methods, parts––how will you break things down? Chapters can be nested inside sections, etc. Say you're writing about people's...

Постоянно делайте заметки. Находите время, чтобы писать. Сконцентрируйтесь на цели этой книги. Напишите обзор вашей книги. Регулярно пересматривайте написанное. Установите конечный срок для написания.


Carry around a planner, notebook, or mobile phone with a calendar app. Write down the start and end times for every activity, no matter how small. At the end of the day you'll have a list telling you exactly how you spent the day. If today is not a typical day for you, make another list tomorrow, or even one for each day of the week. The goal is to tweak your actual schedule to form your daily routine, instead of trying to invent a completely new plan for your day. Look over your list of activities for the day your record. Decide which ones you'd like to spend less time on, such as procrastination or social media. Cross out some of these activities from your list. Count the amount of time saved by removing the unproductive activities from your day. Write down activities that could fill that time, such as work, studying, housecleaning, or other productive activities. Using the schedule from your actual day, and the list of changes you'd like to make, write down a routine you can follow. You can rearrange activities into any order you like, but don't change the amount of time they take. If it took you thirty minutes to have breakfast today, assume it will take you thirty minutes tomorrow as well. For new activities you're adding to the schedule, guess how long they'll take, then allow about 1/3 more time than you guessed. Most adults need 7–8 hours of sleep a night to stay alert and high-functioning. Children and teenagers often require 9 hours or more. Schedule a bedtime and wake up time that gives you plenty of sleep, or your daily routine will not be sustainable. If your rough draft of a routine is chock full of activity from the moment you wake up until the time you go to bed, you'll probably burn out or fall behind the first time something unexpected happens. Adjust your schedule to allow for at least one 30–60 minute chunk of free time if possible, and several 5–15 minute breaks in between productive activities. Give the schedule you wrote down a test spin. Do your best to follow the routine exactly. If...

Carry your jeans to the washing machine, wrapping them in newspapers to avoid staining the floor. Run your jeans through the washing machine without using fabric softener or detergent, which can yellow the jeans. This will rinse out excess bleach and make them safe to wash with other clothing later. Put the jeans alone in the washing machine, without other clothes, to avoid bleaching your other clothing. Now that your jeans are dry, you can have an accurate understanding of the color. If your jeans are not light enough, repeat the process using the bleach solution. Repeat until the jeans have faded to your ideal color.

TL;DR in Russian:

Без порошка постирайте джинсы в стиральной машине. После сушки проверьте, какого цвета стали джинсы.


Carry yourself confidently and with your head up. He will be drawn to your self-assured attitude. When you interact, have open body language. This means leaning forward, facing him and nodding and keeping eye contact when he talks. This shows that you’re listening and interested in what he has to say.  Be sure to flash a smile periodically. This will show that you’re a happy positive person who is fun to be around. A study shows that if you mimic someone’s gestures, their interest in you will increase. Make this a subtle action; it should only register with him subconsciously.  If his hands are resting on the table, try placing yours there as well. Sunny, warm weather increases endorphins stimulating the body and making you happy. Hanging out together on a summer day will mean he’s sure to enjoy his time with you. The darkness of movie theaters and restaurants can generate a romantic mood, as well. If he notices you laughing at something that he or someone else has said, you will portray that you’re carefree and fun. He’ll especially be intrigued if it’s his jokes that you’re laughing at.  This will make him feel confident and comfortable around you, meaning he’ll associate your presence with positive feelings.  Men are especially attracted to the sing-song laugh of women, that sounds similar to a musical scale. So don't get carried away with the volume of your laugh. Mischievously punch him in the arm or tousle his hair. Remember to never take yourself too seriously, especially if you don’t know him very well.  Be able to laugh at and make fun of yourself without being too self-deprecating. Don’t be afraid to try new things because you might feel embarrassed. Show him your sense of adventure, even if it means making a fool of yourself. If he suggests going on a roller coaster, but you're afraid of heights, show him that you can overcome your fear and be spontaneous. Men are attracted to women who display a passion and sense of motivation. He will assume that you are independent, which will make him more...

TL;DR in Russian:

Carrying excess weight causes your body to work harder, raising your body temperature and producing more sweat.  Skin folds caused by excess weight can harbor bacteria, so pay special attention to these areas when bathing. You sweat more when you consume these items, and as previously mentioned, sweat interacts with the bacteria on your skin to produce body odor.  Cutting back or eliminating these things from your diet will help you manage sweat volume, therefore keeping you smelling nice. While this tactic will not change your sweat volume, by protecting your clothing you'll be able to wear shirts and sweaters longer before they become smelly.  Shields are generally made from absorbent material that will keep sweat from clinging to your skin and becoming smelly.  You will also minimize the appearance of your sweat. A recent scientific study indicated that the "chemosignals," or body odor, of people in a happy mental state tended to induce a happy reaction in others exposed to their odor.  In other words, if you're a happy person, the message you send to others spreads that happiness — even your body scent smells happy!

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте здоровый вес. Избегайте острой пищи и алкогольных напитков. Используйте подкладки для подмышек, чтобы защитить одежду. Сохраняйте позитивный настрой.


Carve close to the body, especially near the turkey's back. Note the succulent orb of meat at the base of the back, called the oyster. Consume it as the cook's reward! Cut slices parallel to the bone. This task can be assigned to someone else to save time while you move on to carve other parts of the turkey. Repeat this process on the other leg. On the serving platter, you may want to keep the sections together to cater to everyone's favorite part of the bird.

TL;DR in Russian:

Cashews are readily available in the bulk section or nuts section at most grocery stores. They can often be found either raw or roasted. Keep in mind that approximately 2 cups of cashews will make 1 ¼ cups of cashew butter. Use this as a guideline for determining the amount of cashews to buy.  Cashews are not available to purchase with their shells still intact. Cashews are in the same family as poison oak and poison ivy, meaning that their shells release a toxin called urushiol that produces skin irritations and rashes. The nuts themselves are typically roasted or, if sold as “raw” in stores, are typically steamed to eliminate the toxin.  Cashews are also available already flavored, such as honey roasted cashews. These can be used to make cashew butter as well. If you are purchasing cashews as a replacement for peanuts because of a peanut allergy, you need to make sure that the cashew processing plant does not also process peanuts. The risk of cross-contamination can be dangerous or even deadly for those with peanut allergies. Also, check to make sure the person with a peanut allergy does not also have allergies to other types of nuts. Peanuts are ground nuts, while others, like walnuts, hazelnuts and cashews, are tree nuts. Some people are only allergic to peanuts, while others are allergic to all kinds of nuts. If you purchased raw nuts, you may decide to soak and dehydrate them first before processing them into cashew butter. To soak nuts, place 4 cups of nuts into a glass or ceramic bowl. Fill the bowl with water so the nuts are completely submerged, and add 1-2 tablespoons of unrefined salt. Cover the bowl and let it stand for about 2-3 hours. Raw nuts contain high levels of phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, which can cause irritation and digestive difficulty, and can inhibit the absorption of some of the nutrients contained in nuts. Soaking nuts can neutralize the acid and enzyme inhibitors, maximizing the health potential of nuts. Use cool water to remove any salt residue that remains on the cashews....

Cast-iron skillets are recommended for the best results, but you can use any frying pan you have. If you are using a cast-iron pan, you can speed up the heating process by placing it into a preheated 350° F (176° C) oven for about 20 minutes and removing it with an oven mitt. Starting with a piping hot cast-iron pan is key. Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pan. Don't use more than 1 tablespoon (0.5 ounces). If your oil smokes, your pan is a little too hot. Take it off the burner for a couple minutes and try again. When the beads of oil spread evenly and shine, the pan is ready for cooking! Place your patty in the middle of the pan and let it cook. Your burger patty will sizzle once it hits the pan and it might even smoke. This is good. Cook it for about 4 minutes. Resist the urge to poke and prod at your patty. Don't push it down into the pan. Leaving your patty alone will allow for it to form a delicious thick crust that will seal in the flavor. Once and only once, when you see the underside starting to turn brown, flip your burger. Cook for an additional 4 minutes on the other side.  The last few minutes of cooking is the perfect time to add a slice of cheese. Place a slice of cheese onto your patty and let it get perfectly melted in the last minute or so of cooking. Your burger is medium-rare at an internal temperature of 130 to 135° F (55 to 57° C). Your burger is medium at an internal temperature of 135 to 150° F (57 to 65° C). Your burger is medium well at an internal temperature of 150 to 165° F (65 to 74° C). Your burger is well done at an internal temperature of 165° F (74° C) or greater.

Casual belts are typically 1.25 to 1.5 inches (3.18 to 3.8 cm) wide. Dress belt are typically 1.25 inches (3.18 cm) wide, and should never be 1.5 inches or more, as that is too casual. Brown, tan and black are the most common belt colors. They are also typical colors of leather.  Generally men's shoes and belt should match. Women may choose to match shoes, belt and other accessories, or use a contrasting color. A tongue buckle allows you to slip a piece of metal through a belt hole to secure it. A military-style belt is usually cloth with a sliding latch.  A military belt is usually bought in a generic size and then trimmed down to the appropriate length at home. Don't forget to heat seal the ends with a lighter after you cut your belt to length. A braided buckle does not need belt holes, since you can slip the tongue inside of the braided strips of leather. Leather or vegan leather is made to stand up to regular wear and tear for years. It can be treated with polish to condition the leather as it ages. Fake leather is likely to wear out before treated leather. You can go a step further and match it to your cuff links or wedding ring as well. If you are looking for a very specific type of belt and not having much luck, you might consider making the belt yourself.

TL;DR in Russian:

Планируйте, чтобы получился пояс, который будет 1 - 1,5 дюйма (2,5 - 3.8 см) в ширину. Подберите цвет пояса так, чтобы он соответствовал обуви, которую вы носите чаще всего. Выберите пряжку с язычком, конечно же если вы не хотите пояс в военном стиле или плетеный пояс. Выбирают кожу для обычного использования. Учтите соответствие цвета металлической пряжки и цвета ваших часов.


Casual nicknames that you call a friend may give them the impression that you are not interested in them. Instead, try to call them pet names that convey that you think they are special or attractive. This will help transition your relationship from friendship to love.  For instance, call them something like "sweetheart," "cutie," or "gorgeous." Avoid casual names like "buddy," "pal," or "dude." Friendship means a certain level of familiarity and comfort that may not scream "romance." Aim to impress them the same way you would try to win over a blind date or a cute stranger. Add intrigue to the relationship to keep and increase their interest. For instance, dress up for outings the same way you would for a romantic date with someone you are just getting to know. A good way to shift your relationship from friendship to romance is to change your routine together. Create excitement by spending time in situations or places you have never been to. Avoid having "dates" that involve activities you did together as friends, such as playing video games or sports. For example, go out for a romantic candlelit dinner or share a bottle of wine instead of ordering a pizza. While you may have done many activities together as friends, a shared getaway is a distinctly romantic thing to do. Plan a small vacation for you and your partner to spend some one-on-one time together. Whether it is a short road trip or a more elaborate getaway, the experience will bond you on a new level. To avoid potential conflicts, start by going away for a few days at a time with your partner then build up to longer trips.

TL;DR in Russian:

Придумайте друг другу игривые или нежные прозвища. Постарайтесь произвести на человека впечатление, пусть даже вам уже давно комфортно друг с другом. Находите совместные романтические занятия. Запланируйте совместное романтическое путешествие, чтобы укрепить вашу любовь.


Casual pants that fit well are a staple in a male wardrobe, as they can be worn in most everyday situations.    Jeans are the most versatile pant. They should be worn an inch or two lower on the waist than chinos or corduroys, about three to four inches below your navel.  Jeans should have a consistent fit throughout the leg.  Avoid jeans that are too tight in the thigh and loose under the knee.  Slim-style jeans flatter most body types.  Sweatpants are the most casual pant, usually worn in athletic or relaxing situations.  When wearing sweatpants out in public, try brands that also make formal pants; they're more likely to fit slimmer and look better than the typical gym sweatpants found in discount stores.  Pair sweatpants with other well-fitting clothes and a pair of high-end sneakers to avoid looking too aloof. Formal pants are important for presenting a clean, conservative look- perfect for the office and special events.   Suit pants and dress trousers are the most formal pant option.  The top of the pants should come to the top of your hip bone.  They should fit well enough in the waist that you don't need a belt, but drape more loosely over the legs.  Avoid wearing pleated pants, as they can add the illusion of extra weight, especially in the seat.  Chinos and corduroys offer a more casual look than suit pants, but can still be worn in most professional environments.  These should fit slimmer than suit pants and worn an inch or two lower on the waist.  If you're wearing chinos in a conservative setting, opt for a slightly looser fit.  If wearing casually, you can size them slimmer.  You can tell when these pants are too tight if the pockets don't lay flat against the pants, creating "pocket flares."  When shopping for chinos, keep in mind that the waist and seat tend to stretch with wear. Casual shirts, despite their informality, can look great when sized and worn correctly.  They can be worn with chinos, jeans, or sweatpants.   T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts are more casual than button-ups and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подберите повседневные брюки мужского кроя. Подберите строгие брюки правильного фасона. Носите футболки майки, которые хорошо сидят на вас. Подберите рубашку. Выбирайте одежду с учетом своей фигуры. Дополните строгий образ подходящей обувью. Подберите повседневную обувь, которая соответствует вашему образу жизни. Подберите обувь в своем размере.


Casually talk about stuff she likes and dislikes. Start by just having conversations with her. Ask her about her siblings or other little things. For example, "How are Jimmy and Sarah doing?" or, "That blue shirt brings out your eyes." Girls like it when you remember little things.  Find out things you have in common, like a favorite band or sport. That will give you a common subject to talk about. If you go to school together, walk up to her in the halls and say hello after you've talked in class a couple times. You will make a good impression if you do nice things, like holding a door for her to go through or tying her shoe if you notice it has come undone. Do not go out of your way to do these things all the time. She will think it is weird instead of sweet. Many guys prefer to cut to the chase, but if she is worth asking out, it is worth building a friendship. If you ask her out without getting to know her first, she might turn you down just because she doesn't know enough about you to say yes. Text or chat with her for long periods of time. Girls love it when this happens. After you've texted her for a while and you think she's good enough friends with you, try to ask her who she likes. Make sure she asks you too, otherwise it will most likely end up being a different guy. Also try to make it late—that's extra cute! Do you have common interests? Are you around the same age? If you are going to date this girl, make sure that she is someone with whom you actually want to spend a lot of time. It is easy to build up unrealistic fantasies in your head, but it isn't always easy to gauge whether you would truly be happy with someone. Try talking about what motivates her; by doing so, you will create a bond between you two. Ask her and some of your other friends if they would like to go somewhere such as the mall or movies. Eventually if you two are comfortable with each other you could ask her to hang out at your house with a group of people. A group of people will make it seem less awkward.  Don't ask her...

TL;DR in Russian:

Cat digestion is designed to process a high protein diet. A food which contains a high proportion of cereal or non-animal protein is less than optimal and may be hard for your cat to digest, resulting in insufficient calories. Read the label of your cat food. It should list a named meat as the first two or three ingredients, with cereals and vegetables way down the list. If cereals or soy are high up the list, switch foods. Many premium supermarket foods are highly palatable, but are made so with the addition of flavorings and therefore not nutritionally ideal. Your vet should have some suggestions about what foods will be best for your cat.  Raw food diets are high in water and nutrients. Ask if raw food would be a better choice for your pet. You can buy raw food at pet stores, online, or make at home. Be very careful that your raw food is nutritionally complete or you may end up damaging your cat's health. A good indicator of quality is to chose a manufacturer who also creates prescription diets for the veterinary market, because their knowledge of treating ill health through diet could also cross-pollinates into their regular cat foods. Royal Canin and Hill's are examples of over the counter foods that also manufacture prescription food. If your have several cats be careful to observe the dynamics between the cats and make sure the thin cat is not being bullied or kept away from the food bowl. Make sure each cat has its own food bowl, and be sure to place the food bowls at opposite ends of a room, or even in separate rooms. This makes it harder to a dominant cat to patrol the food area and prevent other cats getting access. If you have a greedy cat that eats everyone else's portions, consider getting a microchip activated food bowl. These devices have a locked lid which is only opened when the cat approaches whose microchip bears the number programmed into the dish.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените текущее качество питания кошки. Обсудите с ветеринаром высококачественную диету для кошки. Учтите конкуренцию между кошками.


Cat food comes in a vast array of types: dry food, semi-moist, and canned are the common types. Dry food is easily and efficiently stored, but cats go wild for the taste of semi-moist and canned foods. The latter types can add more fluid to the cat’s diet than dry foods. In general, food type comes down to owner preference. Occasionally, a cat with a medical condition might need one type over another. Consult your veterinarian for recommendations. Like other animals, cats have some specific nutritional needs. They are "obligate carnivores," which means they need animal proteins to avoid severe health consequences. Ask your vet for suggestions about a good quality food. Cheaper products may not provide enough nutrition to keep your cat happy and healthy.  Look for cat foods that list large amounts of animal meat like beef, chicken, turkey, or fish.  Also look for important amino acids like  taurine and arginine and fatty acids like arachidonic and linoleic acid.  Avoid feeding your cat human foods unless you have cleared the food with your veterinarian. Some human foods can make a cat severely sick or are even toxic to cats (e.g., chocolate). In general, cats are fed according to age, weight and activity levels. They prefer to eat frequent, small meals throughout the day. Ask your vet for recommendations on what and how to feed your cat if you have any reservations. Follow your veterinarian's recommendations closely and make sure your cat gets plenty of exercise, as obesity is one of the biggest health issues facing cats today. Obese cats are more likely to develop diabetes when they approach middle age. Extra weight also contributes to arthritis, heart disease, and other health problems in cats.

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, какой едой вы будете кормить кошку. Подберите качественный корм. Кормите кошку в соответствии с инструкцией на упаковке корма. Не перекармливайте кошку.


Catch the part of your nose above the tip and stretch it out as if you are removing your nose out of your face. It should not be painful, but simply stretch out your cartilage, stopping the sneeze. Use a tissue and blow your nose when you feel a sneeze coming on. It should clear your sinuses of what caused the sneeze in the first place. Using your thumb and forefinger, pinch your upper lip lightly and press it upward toward your nostrils. Your thumb should head toward one nostril and your forefinger toward the other, bunching up your upper lip slightly. Press your tongue behind your two front teeth, where the roof of your mouth meets the gum palate or alveolar ridge. Press hard with your most powerful muscles against your teeth until the tickling sensation dissipates. Find a small table anywhere in your home, hold your face about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top of the table and stick your tongue out; the sneeze should subside naturally. It takes about 5 to 7 seconds. If it doesn't work, at least, whoever's around will get a good kick out of it! Tickle the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue when you feel the sneeze coming on. Continue until the urge to sneeze dissipates.  This should take 5 to 10 seconds. Spread the thumb of one hand away from the fingers. Using the sharp edges of the nails on the thumb and index finger of your other hand, pinch the flap of skin between the spread thumb and the fingers. This is a pressure point that some grab to stop a headache, and it can work with sneezes, too. With your thumb and forefinger, pinch between your eyebrows until you feel a substantial amount of pressure. With the side of your forefinger (handheld horizontally beneath your eyes), press into the cartilage on your nose, just beneath the bone of the bridge of your nose. This will pinch one of the nerves involved in triggering a sneeze. Wiggle your ear lobe gently as you feel a sneeze coming on. This can be masked as looking like you are playing with an earring or something if you're stifling a public...

Catching the kitten is not the end of your project. Once you have it, make sure you are prepared to handle it carefully. When dealing with the kitten, you'll want to keep a pair of gloves handy. Do not handle the kitten directly until you have had it checked out by the vet. Kittens are cute and can become cuddly, but this one is still a wild animal. If one escapes from its carrier (or box, etc) you can try gently scooping it up with a towel. The containment process is crucial when introducing a kitten to a new environment. To keep it from becoming even more traumatized, you want to introduce new things (and people, sounds, and other animals) very slowly. When you first rescue the kitten, make sure you have a safe small place to bring it. This could be a small room, such as your bathroom, or even a comfortable box where it won't be disturbed. Make sure your kitten is comfortable in confinement. Provide it with the basics--a towel to sleep on, food, water, and somewhere to go to the bathroom (this can be a newspaper or a small litter box). You will definitely want to take the stray kitten to a vet in your area. Ask the vet to perform all necessary tests and vaccinations. This could get expensive, so make sure you are prepared for that. Also, remember this is very scary for the kitten, so be ready to transport it to and from the vet as carefully (and quietly) as possible. You'll want to specifically make sure the vet to check for basic ailments such as worms, distemper, rabies, and respiratory problems. Also, it's a great idea to talk to the vet about having the kitten spayed or neutered. The kitten is probably adorable, but you may not want to keep it, or not be able to properly care for it. The next best thing is to find it an adoptive home. If you have some time to devote to this (and want visitation rights), try checking with your friends and friends of friends. Post pictures on social media--kittens can be hard to resist! If you can't find a home on your own, contact your local animal shelter. They will be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Аккуратно обращайтесь с котенком. Поместите котенка в небольшое пространство. Обратитесь к ветеринару. Найдите дом для котенка. Оставьте котенка у себя.


Categorize your items in terms of use and separate them appropriately. For instance, you could place recreational gear like skateboards, roller blades and golf clubs in one area. You could then put your tools, power saws and blades in another. Once you have everything sorted out, you can decide the best way to arrange them for easy access. How you choose to organize will depend on what you have, but it's common to separate the tools and the sporting goods or other storage stuff. Some people's garages are sacred car spaces, while for others it's more of an attic run-off zone. Keep organized according to what you have. Put the stuff you don't use often toward the back, or the more difficult to reach spaces of the garage. If you hardly ever go golfing, you would want to place your clubs behind other things that you use more often, like the lawn mower or your socket wrenches. You may also want to make seasonal adjustments in your garage, so you can rotate summer and winter items accordingly. You probably won't need your snow blower during the heat of summer, so you can schedule yearly reorganizations to keep your space in the most optimum arrangement for the season. It doesn't need to take more than a few minutes. Finally, you can prevent a lot of frustration by properly labeling storage bins or anything that you have to open to access items. If you have small items like different sized screws and nails, you should put these into small containers and mark them accordingly. It may be a little more tedious at first, but should make your life easier later on.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разделите предметы по их назначению. Можно организовать хранение вещей, опираясь на то, как часто они используются. Можно организовать предметы по сезонам. Четко все обозначьте.


Caterpillar stings can result in a variety of symptoms. Depending on the type of caterpillar and any allergies you may have, symptoms can be very mild or very severe. Common symptoms include:  Itchiness and contact dermatitis, blisters, weals (welts), small red bumps, pain Acute conjunctivitis, if hairs penetrate the eyes Rash and hives Difficulty breathing Nausea and vomiting Bleeding and renal failure can occur after contact with the South American Lonomia caterpillar. If you develop blisters, large welts, or a rash that spreads, contact your doctor immediately. This is important, as some people can develop potentially deadly allergic reactions to caterpillar stings. Poison control can be reached at 1-800-222-1222 any time of the day or night, if you have any questions about how to treat a caterpillar sting. A poison specialist will answer the phone and provide you with recommendations about how to treat the sting site. If you have not had a tetanus booster in the last five to 10 years, you should get one within 72 hours of being stung by a caterpillar. This is because the sting/wound site may become open to bacteria and infection.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если на коже проступили отчетливые волдыри, обратитесь к врачу. Сделайте прививку от столбняка. Позвоните в токсикологическую службу. Узнайте о разных симптомах.


Caterpillars do not require an elaborate enclosure to keep them safe and healthy.  A one-gallon jar, fish tank or reptile enclosure will all work fine.  Make sure the container has a cover and allows air to flow in and out.  Line the bottom of the container with paper towels to make it easy to clean.  Cheesecloth can be used as a lid for enclosures that don’t have a top.  Caterpillars cannot chew through cheesecloth but it allows air to travel in and out of the enclosure. If you are going to poke holes in a lid or enclosure to allow airflow, be sure the holes are very small or the caterpillar may find a way to escape through them. Caterpillars need sticks and twigs to crawl around on, and eventually, to hang off of as they enter their pupae stage.  Adding sticks and twigs will also make your caterpillar feel more comfortable and at home.  Make sure to place some of the sticks upright, leaned against the wall or top of the enclosure to give your caterpillar a place to climb. Place some sticks on their sides on the bottom of the enclosure as well. Once you have the enclosure prepared, give it a once over to make sure it looks safe for your new caterpillar friend.  Caterpillars can easily injure themselves or get trapped if an enclosure isn’t safely put together.  Caterpillars can easily get cut by sharp edges in their enclosure.  Make sure the areas around holes you punch are bent or sanded over so they can’t injure the caterpillar. Look at the ways your sticks are positioned to ensure the caterpillar couldn’t easily get trapped under or between them. If you have more than one caterpillar in your enclosure, it’s important that you provide each caterpillar with enough space to thrive.  Make sure there is at least three times the body size of each caterpillar in the enclosure. If you plan to use the same enclosure for the caterpillars until they hatch into butterflies, you need to ensure there is enough room for them to expand their wings when they emerge from their cocoons.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте для своей гусеницы контейнер. Поместите в контейнер палочки или ветки. Позаботьтесь о том, чтобы ваш контейнер был безопасен для гусеницы. Если у вас не одна гусеница, а несколько, убедитесь, что им хватает места.


Caterpillars don't need to be housed in anything too fancy - a clean one-gallon jar or a small fish tank is perfect.  These will be easy to clean and will allow you to see your caterpillar easily.  Cover the container with a piece of cheesecloth or mesh and secure with a rubber band. This will allow proper ventilation. Don't just poke holes in a screw-on lid (as some sites advise) as the caterpillars may attempt to escape through these holes and injure themselves on the sharp edges. If you're housing more than one caterpillar, just make sure that each caterpillar has around three times it's body size in extra space to move around in.  This will prevent overcrowding. It's a good idea to line the bottom of your caterpillar's home with some paper towel or tissue paper. This will soak up any excess moisture and catch any caterpillar droppings (known as frass). You can then easily clean the container by whipping out the dirty paper and replacing it with fresh stuff.  However, you should only line your caterpillar container with paper towels if you know that you have a species of caterpillar which pupates above ground. If you have a species of caterpillar which pupates underground (or if you're not sure what species it is) you should line the bottom of the container with a two-inch layer of soil or sand. This way, the caterpillar has something to bury into. The soil or sand should be slightly damp - but not damp enough that it causes condensation on the sides of the container. Caterpillars are quite sensitive to humidity. It's a good idea to place a couple of sticks inside the caterpillars home, for a number of reasons:  Firstly, the caterpillar will have something to climb on, which it may need to do in order to reach it's food. Secondly, the caterpillar may choose to pupate hanging from the stick. As a result, you should make sure that the stick is in a secure position and not in danger of falling over. Thirdly, once the butterfly or moth emerges from the pupa it will need somewhere to hang upside down in order...

TL;DR in Russian:

Содержите свою гусеницу в подходящем контейнере. Постелите на дно контейнера бумажное полотенце или насыпьте земли. Поместите в контейнер пару палочек. Поддерживайте влажность в контейнере.


Caterpillars eat the leaves of the host plants you often find them on.  Take some of the leaves from the type of plant your particular caterpillar prefers and place them in the enclosure to serve as a food source.  Caterpillars will eat in their own time, so don’t worry if the caterpillar doesn’t begin eating as soon as you place leaves in the enclosure. If a caterpillar has more than one preferred host plant, add leaves from each to give the caterpillar a few choices. If you are unsure of a caterpillar’s host plant, add a few different kinds of leaves and see which one the caterpillar eats.  Use those leaves for food from now on. Caterpillars need water added to their enclosure on a daily basis.  Do not place a water dish in your enclosure as caterpillars may fall into them and drown.  Instead, simply spray some water onto the leaves each day and the caterpillars will drink from the droplets.  Instead of spraying water onto the leaves, you can simply rinse them before you place them in the enclosure, that will provide enough water. If your caterpillar begins to look very dry, try spraying more water into the enclosure. You will need to remove uneaten leaves on a regular basis.  Depending on the plant, leaves may last up to a week, or they may begin to dry out after only a few days.  You may also want to replace the paper towels you place at the bottom of the enclosure as bedding.  Replacing the bedding will remove caterpillar droppings and waste that could cause caterpillars to get sick. Remove old leaves any time you place new leaves in the enclosure. If your container does not allow enough room for your caterpillars to emerge from their cocoon and spread their wings, you will need to relocate the cocoons to a larger enclosure once they enter them.  Make sure the new enclosure has enough space for the butterflies to emerge from their cocoons and spread their wings. Be very gentle when removing the cocoons.  You can handle them with your hands as long as you are very careful.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите в контейнер еду. Обеспечьте гусеницу водой. Убирать в домике гусеницы надо каждый день. Пересадите куколку в другой контейнер.


Catnip essential oil has been shown to be effective at driving away bees and mosquitoes, and can be purchased from aromatherapy shops or online. Other strong-scented substances such as peppermint oil or cloves are often used to repel insects, but may not work as well as other options. Do not apply these substances to children under three years of age. If not sold with instructions for applying to skin, look up the substance online first, to see if it causes irritation or health problems. Bees do not seek out humans unless they perceive them as a threat, so insect repellants for personal protection are not typically useful. However, some specialized bee repellants such as Bee Go or Honey Robber can be used to repel bees from an area. These are available from stores that sell beekeeping equipment.  In the United States, check the label for an EPA-approved logo before buying, so you know it is safe for human use and the environment.  Spray repellents are by far the most effective type of commercial insect repellent. Candles, foggers, coils, clip-on battery-powered devices, wristbands, and electronic sound-based repellents rarely work to drive off insects. Listen for a buzzing noise while walking through the wilderness, and don't put your hand into any crevices you can't see into. Bees often nest among rocks or in trees, so be extra alert while climbing.  While most honeybees do not bother humans, "Africanized" honeybees will aggressively defend their hives. These are found in many areas in Southern America, Central America, and along the southern border of the United States. If you hear a hive, or you know there are hives in the area, keep pets nearby, preferably on a leash. While clothing probably does not have a major effect on bee attraction, dark clothing and red clothing is more likely to cause bees to perceive you as a threat. Leather and furry articles of clothing may also alarm bees. The USDA and some other agencies recommend not using strongly scented perfume, shampoo, gum, or other materials in areas...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте очень душистый натуральный репеллент. Используйте химические репелленты. В дикой местности всегда будьте начеку. Носите одежду светлого цвета. Не рекомендуется пользоваться очень ароматными духами, шампунем, жевательной резинкой там, где обитают африканизированные пчелы. В случае нападения пчел бегите в убежище, например, в автомобиль или в здание, или продолжайте бежать до тех пор, пока пчелы не отстанут от вас.


Catnip plants like drier soil, and root rot can set in if the soil is too moist. When you water, thoroughly soak the soil to saturate the roots. Let the soil dry out completely, and test it out by touching a finger to it before watering.  If the soil feels moist or wet, don’t water the plant and check it later that day or the next day. Catnip plants are fairly hardy and quite drought-resistant, so you should be more concerned about over-watering than not watering them enough. After your plant's first flower blooms finish, remove the spent flowers. Shear back the plants by one-third to promote new growth and a new bloom of flowers. Remove any dead or dried leaves regularly. Shearing and deadheading plants will result in bushier plants that flower more consistently. You can propagate, or make new plants, by dividing one plant’s root system. Dig up a cluster of plants with at least two to three stalks, or remove them from their pot if you used a container. Soak the root ball to the point of complete saturation. Use a clean trowel or garden knife to divide the root cluster in half, then replant each new plant.  Continue to water frequently after you’ve divided the plants. Don’t let the root system dry out as you would with a normal catnip plant. Dividing plants can help control overgrowth, renew fading plants, or simply allow you to share a plant with a friend. Cats are of course attracted to catnip plants, and love to nip at their leaves and lay in plant beds. If you have an outdoor cat, don’t plant catnip next to delicate flowers or plants you wouldn’t want your cat to damage. If using containers, avoid positioning pots in places where they might easily be knocked over or broken. Consider using garden fencing, bracing, or bamboo sticks to support the plants and prevent your cat from laying on them. To harvest, trim down a stalk to its base, or just above a leaf joint, or cut off the whole plant at the base. Cutting just above a joint, or where a leaf or leaves spring from the stalk, will promote more rapid new...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прежде чем поливать почву, дождитесь, пока она высохнет. Стригите траву и удаляйте увядшие цветы, чтобы обеспечить дальнейший рост. Весной или осенью разделяйте корневые системы. Следите, чтобы ваша кошка не повредила кошачью мяту или другие растения. Собирайте листья и сушите их на открытом воздухе.


Catnip prefers full sun in most locations. If you live in a hot, dry climate, consider an area where plants will have some shade from the afternoon sun. It will still need at least six hours of full sun, but in locations in the south, the sun at its highest and hottest could damage leaves.  Catnip grows best outdoors, but can be grown indoors if you place it by a window that gets at least six hours of full sun per day.  If growing a plant indoors, you should place it no more than three feet away from the sunlit window. Alternatively, you can grow it indoors away from a sunlit window if you have access to high output fluorescent plant grow lights. Use standard potting soil if you’re container planting, or whatever soil you have in your garden. Soil should allow draining, so it shouldn’t be too rich or compacted. Catnip, like most herbs, will thrive in poor soil. Give seedlings or young plants ample room to grow, leaving about 18 to 20 inches (45.7 to 50.8 cm) between each plant to prevent crowding.  They might look thin when you first plant them, but they will need the room to grow and will soon fill out the space. Catnip will grow in just about any soil, but sandier soil tends to yield more aromatic plants.  Water frequently after first planting. After a couple weeks, or after you see that the plants have adjusted to transplanting and are starting to grow, water only when the soil has dried out a few inches below the surface. Once established, catnip can grow aggressively, and can take over an entire garden. To keep it from invading your yard, grow it in a controlled garden, such as one with permanent stone dividers. If you don’t have a controlled space, using containers offers total control of where and how your catnip plants grow.  If you want the look of an herb garden, but don’t want to risk catnip taking over, plant it in containers then bury the containers in your garden. Placing the plants in containers beneath the soil will help confine and control their roots, preventing them from wandering...

TL;DR in Russian:

Высаживайте саженцы в хорошо освещаемом месте, если только вы живете не в жарком сухом климате. Посадите растения на расстоянии 45–50 сантиметров друг от друга. Подумайте о том, чтобы выращивать кошачью мяту в горшках.
