Most Androids do not come with a texting app that lets you know when someone has read your message, but yours might. Unless you and the person you’re messaging are both using the same app to text (and both enable read receipts), this method won’t work. It’s usually a ⁝ or ≡ at one of the top corners of the screen.  Depending on your model, you might not have this option. It could be “Text Messages” or some other similar. ” Again, this is not available on all Androids. This is the option that lets you know when the message is opened by the recipient. If you see an option called Delivery Reports, understand that it’s more of a notification that the message has been delivered to the phone; it doesn’t mean the person has opened the message to read it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Запустите приложение для обмена текстовыми сообщениями. Нажмите на значок меню. Коснитесь Настройки. Нажмите Дополнительные. Включите опцию «Уведомления о прочтении».


Most Aries guys will thrive in a relationship if their partner is active both in and out of the bedroom. Athletic activities are a good way to bond with him, especially if those activities involve some level of challenge.  Engage in a one-on-one race, game of basketball, or similarly competitive game. Keep in mind that Aries men hate routine, so your physical activities should not adhere to a strict schedule. In other words, a daily jog after work might not be the best thing to hold his attention. Mix up the activity and time a little each time. In terms of physical intimacy, the Aries man rarely needs much coaxing. Whether you've reached the bedroom stage or not, you can expect him to put the moves on fast and to heat things up in the blink of any eye. You'll need to keep pace with him if you want to avoid boring him. For your own sake, you might want to stay physically fit. Otherwise, you'll find yourself exhausted well before he wears out. Unfortunately, the Aries man can be a little selfish regarding acts of physical intimacy and quickly takes over. If you want to have any say in the experience, you may need to act unimpressed from time to time. Doing so can trigger his love for a good challenge, and as a result, he may end up paying more attention to you in the pursuit of his conquest. Hint around this his moves just aren't doing anything for you. Once he catches on, he will be eager to figure out what will and likely won't stop trying new approaches until he reaches his goal. As with all other aspects of his life, and Aries man needs variety. If he wants to try something new in the bedroom, let him. If he gets nothing but "the same old thing" with you, he might get bored quickly. If you are uncomfortable with something, though, you need to be straightforward and directly tell him to stop. Once he gets an idea in his head, he will go through with it, even without direct permission. Only direct denial will be enough to put the brakes on things.

TL;DR in Russian:

Всегда будьте активны. Поиграйте с ним. Дразните его. Не бойтесь пробовать что-то новенькое.


Most GPS devices can find much more than addresses these days. Try searching "Indian Food," "Post Offices," "Gas," "Rock Climbing Gyms," or whatever else you are interested in and see what pops up. This can be incredibly useful when you are in a new city, or if you just feel like finding the closest burrito shop.  Apps and Internet enabled GPS (like those found on phones) will always have this feature. Many portable GPS devices have a section labeled "Nearby Locations" or "Find Locations" that list businesses within a short radius of your current location. Geocaching is when people hide objects in the world with GPS coordinates. It is a global community that prides itself on sharing and exploration, and can be a great way to see the outdoors. To Geocache, buy a GPS and sign up for one of the many internet-based services and forums. Most modern GPS devices and apps can be turned on while you run or bike, and store the information on your speed, elevation, and distance for later. You will need a specific app like NikeFit, MapMyRun, or AppleHealth to get the most out of this feature. Because smartphones are constantly hooked up to a GPS, you can use them to find lost or stolen phones if you act quickly. Download a tracking app on for your phone and sync it with your computer to always keep tabs on your phone's location.  Use "Find my iPhone," by going to the Find my iPhone Website and inputting your Apple username. Log onto Google's online "Device Manager" to find your lost/stolen android phone without a tracking app. You can even download "Android Lost" to your phone remotely to get your phone's coordinates.

TL;DR in Russian:

Находите магазины, рестораны и другие учреждения, расположенные неподалеку. Поиграйте в геокэшинг. Пользуйтесь GPS во время занятий спортом. Найдите потерянный телефон


Most Holland Lop rabbits are healthy as long as a proper diet is fed to them. However, once a year she needs a veterinarian examination to make sure all is well. This examination will include a tooth check to make sure the teeth are wearing properly. If not, the veterinarian may need to trim them so the mouth or teeth don’t become injured. Your bunny should be neutered if he is a male or spayed if she is a female when he or she is 4 to 6 months of age. This stops unwanted litters if you have two rabbits of the opposite sex, plus stops bad behaviors like aggression or urine spraying. It also eliminates reproductive system cancer and infections. For the most part, rabbits with proper diets are healthy. However, you should be aware of the signs of illness, which include refusing to eat or drink, diarrhea, not pooping for a day, eye or nasal discharge, drooling, swellings, reddened skin, or fur loss anywhere on the body, not hopping or moving like normal or unable to use back legs, dark, red urine, or a fever of more than 105 °F (41 °C). Never ignore these signs. If you see them, contact your veterinarian immediately for an examination.

Most Korean spas have gender-specific nude areas, which means you are free to go nude within the confines of specified areas. So, in the male area, men are free to go nude, and it’s the same in the female area.   Within these areas there are saunas, bathing areas and grooming areas. So, you can slowly get accustomed to being nude in the company of others. If you’re still not completely comfortable, use a small towel to partially cover yourself. Typically uniforms are available to wear as well. Come with a friend so that you have someone to talk to, if that makes you feel more comfortable. Some people may prefer to start with just strangers. Give yourself something to do. Bathe yourself or groom yourself while at the spa, and you won’t be totally focused on your nakedness. Also, while you're there, try to get a massage too. It'll help sooth your nakedness, and it will also sooth your back! If you have a significant other or have a supportive friend or family member, get naked around them only if the other person is comfortable with it.  If you’re comfortable around your significant other, then you’ll be more comfortable during sex or other forms of sexual activity. Being naked around a supportive person also helps you gain confidence and set aside any fears. No one is going to gawk at you, point or laugh, which is some people’s greatest fears. Nude massages, for instance, are a way of acclimating yourself to being nude around others. Typically, the parts that are not being massaged are covered up with a towel, so you will have some sense of being covered.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сходите в турецкие бани или корейские спа комплексы. Разденьтесь перед человеком, которому доверяете.


Most Libra men can really appreciate beauty and culture, so if you want to make his heart skip a beat for you, invite him to the art museum or give him a book with photographs of beautiful scenery. Showing him that you understand what he loves can be a huge plus in your favor. When you extend an invitation, pick a place that your Libra man will probably enjoy, like an art gallery, arts and crafts fair, or museum. You can appeal to him even more by inviting him out during an active time. For instance, ask him to a special one-day-only exhibit instead of inviting him to the museum during a quiet "off" time. Along with art and culture, Libra men usually have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life. When you invite him to spend time with you, choose impressive locations like trendy cafes or four-star restaurants. When you give him a gift, consider picking out something tasteful from a designer. If you do not have the finances to back Libra's love of luxury, fear not! These men are interested in refinement, but that refinement does not necessarily need to cost you an arm and a leg. Try inviting him to a fancy restaurant for dessert only to save you the cost of a meal, or go somewhere with an elegant atmosphere but a moderate cost. As social creatures, Libra men love freedom and need to feel unconfined in order to be happy. You can dote on him as much as you want when the two of you are together, but avoid smothering him or forcing your way into areas of his life he hasn't invited you to on his own. Keep in mind that Libra is an active guy, so once he takes a liking to you, you'll probably know about it. In the meantime, work on him steadily, and avoid pushing your feelings onto him before he is ready for them. Libra men love to love, and they love being loved on. Little tokens of appreciation can underscore your feelings for him while making you appear more attractive in his eyes. Try giving him a small gift or note for no reason, or offer a massage at the end of a long day or week.  Refined, tasteful...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обращайтесь к его любви к красоте, искусству или музыке. Обратитесь к его вкусу к роскоши. Дайте ему пространство. Покажите ему свое отношение. Пусть романтика будет простой.

Most Operating Systems (OSs) won't be able to run DOS games, but you can bypass this obstacle by making use of a DOS emulator. One highly recommended emulator by users is DOSBox, a free emulator you can find with a quick Internet search. Download and install DOSBox on your computer. This will require some searching on your part, but the DOSBox.com forum might connect you to the game you're looking for sooner than a general online search. After you find the game, download it to your computer. In many cases, the DOS game software you download will be bundled with installation instructions. For best results, you should follow all included directions. It is recommended that you can make a new folder  directly to your hard drive (usually prefixed by "C:" or "D:") to make mounting these files to a virtual hard drive easier. Move the DOS game(s) you downloaded to this folder in preparation for mounting these files in DOSBox. Some recommended names for your DOS games folder are:  DOSGames DOS Open DOSBox and through the text interface, type in the command "mount c C:\DOSBox". This will mount DOSBox's virtual drive, which you will use to install your game. The file path for the right installation program for your game will vary depending on which game you have downloaded. In principle, you will type the approximate command: "mount d C:\DOSGames\Installfolder - cdrom", but you will have to follow the individual instructions outlining the correct file path for installation. These should have been included with your downloaded DOS game.

TL;DR in Russian:

Скачайте эмулятор DOS. Найдите DOS игру, которую хотели бы установить, и скачайте ее. Следуйте указаниям разработчика, если они есть. Создайте отдельную папку для DOS игр. Монтируйте виртуальный привод. Запустите мастер-установщик.

Most adults who follow a healthy, balanced diet that contains milk, dairy products, and fish should be able to meet their iodine requirements. But supplements containing iodine can help you meet your iodine needs if you do not or cannot consume iodine-rich foods. It’s important to speak to your doctor before you take iodine supplements to ensure you are taking the correct amount and you are taking the iodine supplement that is right for your body. You should always talk to your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have thyroid disease, are taking other medications, or if you have experienced iodine deficiency over a long period of time. Keep in mind that these supplements are dangerous for people with kidney disease, so talk to your doctor first. The capsules should not exceed the daily adult requirement of 150 mcg/day. Do not take seaweed or kelp supplements as sources of iodine. The amount of iodine in these supplements can vary and in some cases, provide excessive quantities of iodine. It can be difficult to meet the higher recommended iodine intake when you are pregnant or breastfeeding through just diet alone. But many multivitamin and mineral supplements contain iodine. Check the labels of these supplements to make sure they provide 140 - 150 mcg of iodine. The remainder of the required iodine intake can be met by your diet. If you consume high quantities of iodine-rich foods while pregnant, you may not need to take an iodine supplement. Check with your doctor about your iodine levels before you take any supplements.

Most ammonia-free cleaning agents make use of a gentle or mild soap, like baby soap, water, and a disinfecting agent, like alcohol. These are the three main components that will make up your ammonia-free, tint safe cleaner. You should also use distilled water when mixing your cleaner, as it has been filtered of impurities, like calcium and lime, that could leave spots, streaks, or other buildup on your tint. These products can most likely be bought from the home goods or cleaning supply section of your local grocery store. All in all, you’ll need:  Baby soap (a generic brand is OK) Distilled water Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol (91% is preferred, but lower percentage is also OK) Spray bottle Take your empty spray bottle and rinse it to clean out any dust or residue from anything previously used in it. Then add 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle along with a few drops of your baby soap. Now you can fill up your spray bottle with distilled water, screw on the cap, and swirl the contents to ensure a thorough mix.  The alcohol in your cleaner, besides safely disinfecting the surface of your tint, will also help your cleaner to evaporate quickly and streak free. Alcohol also helps to dissolve grease and oils, like the kind that causes fingerprints, from the window. These ingredients have a relatively long shelf life and can be used to make large quantities of your ammonia-free cleaner. By making your own cleaner, you can save a significant amount of money while achieving the same results as you would with a store bought brand. You may want to allow areas of your tinting that are particularly dirty to soak in the cleaner for a while. Just spray a heavy mist where the tinting looks dirtiest and allow it to sit for about five minutes. Be careful with your cleaner around the edges of your tinting. Allowing your cleaner to sit on the edge can lead to it seeping under the tinting, which could cause peeling, bubbling, or a shorter life for it.  You should use a two microfiber cloth system when...

TL;DR in Russian:

Most anal fissures heal on their own with 4 to 6 weeks. If your anal fissures does not heal within this timeframe, and does not seem to improve with use of medication, your doctor might recommend surgery.   The standard surgery to treat an anal fissures involves cutting a portion of the sphincter muscle. This helps relax the bowels, helping the fissure heal.  Surgery has a high success rate, with over 90% of fissures clearing up after the procedure. Your doctor will talk to you about how to prepare for your surgery. Follow all her instructions and do not hesitate to ask any questions if something confuses you.  You will probably be asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery.  Your doctor will tell you what medications you should and should not take prior to the operation, including any herbal supplements or over the counter sleep aids.  Bowel prep is common in anal fissure surgery. You may be given an enema or laxatives prior to the operation. Anal fissure surgery is a same day procedure. This means, assuming there are no complications, you will leave the hospital the same day you had the procedure done. Your doctor will give you instructions on how to recover from the operation.   Normal activity can be resumed shortly after surgery, but it should be gradual. Make sure you walk the night after surgery, as this lessens the risk of blood clots, which can be potentially life threatening.  Depending on the type of surgery, you should not return to work for 1 to 4 weeks. Avoid driving until you're done taking pain medications.  Your surgery will leave a wound in the rectal area that needs treatment. Keep the wound clean and dry and take sitz baths baths 3 times a day. Bloody drainage will occur for a few days following the surgery, so the wound should be sealed with gauze.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте, когда может понадобиться операция. Подготовьтесь к операции. Как оправиться после операции.


Most anglers use the fly and bubble technique with an ultralight spinning rod, as spinning tackle is best suited to the light lines used for fly and bubble fishing. Some anglers favor rods as short as 5 feet (1.5 m) when fishing streams whose banks are overgrown with weeds and brush and as long as 8 feet (2.4 m) (2.4 m) in wider rivers and in lakes, while other anglers favor lengths from 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 m). The rod should have a fast action tip. Longer rods allow for more distance when casting and can better simulate the action of a fly rod; however, shorter rods can be packed and carried more easily when fishing in remote areas. As noted above, a spinning reel is the preferred reel for fly and bubble fishing. The reel should have a smooth-functioning bail and retrieving action and a good quality drag to handle the light lines the fly and bubble technique calls for. Fly and bubble fishing calls for light lines of from 4 to 6 pound test (2 to 3 kg class). Many anglers like to go even lighter with the leader the fly is attached to, choosing 2 to 4-pound test (1 to 2 kg class) line. The most common shape for plastic bubbles used in fly and bubble fishing is a teardrop-shape, with the thicker end facing the rod and the narrower end facing the lure. Some anglers prefer a more tapered bubble that is at its thickest in the center and equally narrow on either end, while others prefer spherical bubbles. Bubbles can be held in place with built-in clips, although some anglers favor bubbles that use rubber or plastic tubing to keep them in place. Most bubbles feature a stopper you can push in to fill the bubble with as much water as necessary to provide casting weight without hampering the flies action. Generally, for fishing dry flies, which are designed to fish on the surface, you should fill the bubble about half-full so that it will still float on the water after being cast, while for wet flies, which are designed to be fished underwater, you should fill the bubble completely. (Some anglers even add a couple...

Most animals that are sneaking into your garden are doing so because they can smell the vegetables and are attracted by the free meal.  Scents can also be used to keep animals out, sending a message that your garden is either not a safe place to eat or by making it smell unappealing.  Take a look at the two main types of scent deterrents to help you pick one for your garden:  You can buy animal repellents that smell like the urine of a predator.  These repellents will make your garden seem dangerous to animals.  You'll likely need to know which type of animal is invading your garden before buying a predator scent that scares that specific animal. You might try using spicy or unappealing sprays around your garden.  These sprays can make animals uncomfortable or make your garden taste and smell bad enough that they will look for food elsewhere. Animal repelling sprays can be bought at most home or garden stores. You can try looking up homemade animal repellent recipes and make your own. Many sprays will need to be applied often, as rain or moisture will wash them away. If you know the type of animal that is regularly invading your garden, you can try growing some plants that they would find repulsive.  Adding plants that common garden pests dislike can help keep them out and protect your vegetables.  Take a look at some of the following plants that are thought to keep away garden pests:  Azalea, boxwood, lamb's ear, peony and marigolds are all unappealing to rabbits. Bleeding hearts, daffodils, hyssop, and mullein are plants that can repel deer. You can try mixing some of these plants in with your garden to make the whole thing look unappealing. Planting these barrier plants along the parameter of your garden can help repel pests. Even though your garden is a peaceful place, the animals that are sneaking in will still be on the look out for threats.  Because of this, you can add devices to your garden that are designed to startle and scare off whatever animal might be nibbling your vegetables.  Take a look at...

Most applications are accepted, but the interview is where most people are weeded out. Your interview will likely be in a hotel, so book a room there. The interview may be in two stages, with each stage on different days. If you pass the first stage, then the next stage will be the next day. Book at least 2 nights in the hotel. Just as there is no excuse for being late to work, there is never any excuse for being late to an interview. Arrange your travel plans accordingly. Bring two suits, nice shoes, a nice pen, a pad of paper for notes, and any props or materials you want to use for your lesson. If you have print outs, print them in color. If you are using flash cards, laminate them. Make it as professional as possible. Your lesson demonstration is only 5 minutes, but the amount of work you put into preparing will impress your interviewers. Never start your demo lesson without some pictures or props. Iron your suits and polish your shoes. Don't bring perfume, extra makeup (foundation only is okay) more than 1 pair of earrings, more than 1 ring, any other flashy or colorful accessories. While people in Japan do wear many accessories, they do not wear them in the office. Excessive makeup like eyeliner and eyeshadow is frowned upon. Painted nails are a big no-no. (Clear polish is okay though). These things are unprofessional and won't even be allowed at your school if you are hired. If you are a woman, wear stockings and closed toed heeled shoes. Do not wear ballet shoes. No bright colors (pink, red, yellow, orange) and also do not wear all black. Schools want to show a professional, but "bright" friendly image. Think about that before you go. If you are man, shave your beard or trim it very short. It is relatively rare of men in Japan to grow beards, especially businessmen. If they do have one, it is always neatly trimmed. This will be a requirement at the school if you are hired. Hide any tattoos. Your school will not hire you if you display a tattoo. Some schools are okay if you have one, but you must keep...

Most areas host fairs, festivals, carnivals, or other fun events during the summer. Check your city's calendar online, or ask other people in the area whether they've heard of events. Check the websites or advertisements for nearby venues, including concert locations, theaters, and sports stadiums. Look at your town's or region's tourism website or brochures advertising events and find out what attracts people traveling from other locations. There might be anything from museums to merry go rounds lurking in your town, or in areas a short drive away. Spend a couple days with friends or family at a campsite, or camp in your backyard. Gather friends around a campfire or barbecue to tell scary stories and make s'mores. . Find a geocaching site online, and look up locations near you to see if anyone has hidden secret rewards. You can search for these caches or hide your own wither with a GPS unit or by finding the coordinates on a map. If weather, transportation, or a lack of events prevents you from leaving the house, take a fake vacation. Invite a couple friends for a sleepover and decorate your room like a palace, jungle, hotel, or anything you like. Go shopping for unusual foods and "souvenirs" to share with your guests. If the weather is rainy, dress up in swimsuits and sunglasses and lounge around indoors pretending you're visiting a location with a proper summer. If your current friends are out of town or busy, look through your old yearbooks, phone contacts, or emails and reconnect with people you used to know. Any of the activities above can be more fun with friends, or you can simply spend an afternoon catching up with each other or reminiscing. It could be anything, a house made out of cardboard or a simple 3D puzzle. This would help you think logically and help you to keep up your resilience.

Most artists will offer different products services such as digital and print photographs, paintings, or ceramics. The more diversified you are, the more likely you are to appeal to a broader public be successful.  If you decide to offer additional products and services, you’ll need to make sure you’re aware of different trends and methods. You can find this information by reading trade publications and art magazines. Even if you offer several different services, it’s a good idea to have a type of art in which you specialize to help attract clients. For example, maybe you make beautiful landscape photographs. Consider specializing in pictures of landscape features and selling them to magazines or local businesses.  It’s important to not be too diversified. Offer several different products or services that you do well instead of dozens that you do marginally. Set up pricing structure for your services. Knowing how much you want to charge in advance can make you appear more professional when you meet with potential clients.  You may want to set base rates and tailor them according to how much work each individual job will cost.  Looking at what other freelancers charge will give you a point of reference.  Make sure your prices are commensurate with your experience and the location in which you’re offering your work for sale. For example, freelance art in places such as Michigan won’t cost as much as New York or Los Angeles. Once you know your price structure, install an invoicing and payment system. Consider the types of payment you will accept and how you will write receipts, which will help legitimize your business and make it easier to report income.  Make sure to have separate bank accounts for your business and for your personal finances.  Likewise, have separate credit lines for your business and for your personal use.  Make sure every aspect of your pricing and billing is transparent to clients and vendors. Maintaining fair business practices is vital to your success. This will be one of your many...

Most at-home teeth whitening kits use carbamide peroxide as the main bleaching ingredient. Peroxide is effective, but it can irritate the nerve endings of your teeth and cause sensitivity. Choose an in-home kit that contains a low peroxide level of 5 – 6%. A higher peroxide dose will not guarantee effectiveness and might cause a great deal of pain.  There are a wide variety of at-home whitening options: strips, paint-ons, mouth trays with gel, whitening toothpaste, and even whitening gum and mouthwash. If you have any concerns about the safety of these products, ask your dentist. If you do choose a tray-based whitening method, make sure that the tray fits securely over your teeth. If it is loose the gel can leak out and create widespread gum irritation and increased sensitivity. It may be tempting to use more gel to get quicker, whiter results. Don’t do it. Instead, follow the directions carefully and make the health of your mouth the priority. Using too much agent can cause gum irritation and even vomiting if swallowed. Extending the time beyond the package recommendations will not make your teeth any brighter or whiter. It will, however, possibly erode your tooth enamel, causing future issues with sensitivity and decay caused by fractures in the enamel. The recommended length of time will generally depend on the percentage of active peroxide, which varies from product to product.

Most auction companies are independent ventures -- people like you have started out as auctioneers and then opened up their own business. However, there are some "houses" that are chains and are quite huge. Just like any employer, some are better than others, but you'll never know until you try. Try to find an auction company that specializes in your area (agriculture, antiques, etc.) and is willing to work with you and your schedule. Do they provide mentorship? What do they charge overhead? Will you be an employee or a contractor? These are things to consider when looking for employment. Auctioneers are often sought due to their expertise in certain areas. You'll need to be able to look at an item and roughly tell what condition it's in and what factors matter about it. If you overlook a scratch, you could be starting way too high. Here are the most common subtopics of auctioneering:  Learn about livestock and agriculture. Many auctions sell livestock and agricultural equipment. Acquire knowledge about antiques. Auctions regularly include antique items, and it helps to know information about eras of history and historical items. Auction off vehicles as an expert. Learn about makes, models, years, engines and unique trivia about vehicles. Some states, like Tennessee again, have a specific license for public automobile auctioneers. You will be held highly responsible for the turnout at your auctions. In order to get bidders in the first place, you'll need to market your auctions with the right media at the right places and times and to the right people. If the auction happens and the products don't walk, your client will not be happy. It's important to know your audience here. If you have an estate auction that is mostly Elvis memorabilia and thousands of vinyl records, that's totally different than an estate sale that's all 19th century modern art and fine china. The expanse of your network will be very, very important here. If you live in an area with a small population, you're obviously going to get more...

Most autistic children engage in unusual motor movements – they jump, spin, twist their fingers, flap their arms, walk on their toes, and make strange faces. Like self-injurious behaviors, these motor movements are self-stimulating, but they are not harmful. Stimming helps children control their emotions, focus on tasks, prevent meltdowns from sensory overload, and feel good. (Tapping pencils, pacing, playing with hair, and tapping feet are all examples of stims that neurotypicals engage in too.) Never scold or mock your child for stimming, because this will harm their self-esteem and make coping more difficult. It is okay to casually let your child know that a stim looks odd. However, don't pass judgment or try to stamp it out of them. The stim may be very important to them. Let them choose whether it's worth the effort to redirect it or not, and give them your full support either way. If you spend lots of time engaged in playful interactions with your child, they will stim in moderation. Teach your child new games, and try to introduce imaginary play. Children who constantly stim are probably in need of more activity.  Trampolines, exercise balls, tree-climbing, swimming, recreational sports, and going on walks can help hyperactive children get the stimulation they need, so they can sit calmly during school. Keep plenty of fidget toys around. Your child may not sit still, but mild/moderate fidgeting can be enough to help them focus. Talk with teachers and aides to ensure that your child's peers learn good social skills and don't bully your child for being different. Autistic children should never be afraid to stim. Your child may enjoy playing with a doll's hair or fidgeting with a tangle. This allows your child to choose when they want to stim conspicuously, and when they prefer to stim in ways that don't attract attention. Encourage your child to explore with different stims so that they can choose the ones that are most comfortable to them.

Most avalanche victims trigger the avalanche themselves, and sometimes the avalanche will start right beneath their feet.  If this happens, try to jump up the slope, beyond the fracture line.  An avalanche happens so quickly that it's almost impossible to react fast enough to do this, but it has been done. Whether the avalanche starts above you or beneath you, you may be able to make your way toward the side.  Don't hesitate: move as quickly as possible to the side of the avalanche slope.  If the avalanche begins well above you, you may be able to get out of its path before it reaches you. The snow will be moving fastest near the center of the flow, and that's also where the highest volume of snow will be. You want your body to be as lightweight as possible, so let of your gear, but keep your backpack, it may protect your neck and back. This raises the chances that you'll be able to stay toward the surface of the snow.  It goes without saying that you should not let go of survival equipment, such as a transceiver and probe or snow shovel; you'll need these if you get buried. People searching for you later may be able to find you if they see some pieces of equipment on the surface of the snow, so you could let go of a glove or something else that's light to increase the chances they'll find you. If you're unable to escape the avalanche, try to grab on to a boulder or sturdy tree.  If it's a small avalanche, or if you're near the edge of the avalanche, you may be able to hold on until the flow of snow passes you.  Even if you get ripped away from the object you're holding, if you can succeed in delaying your departure downhill, you have a better chance of not being buried or, at least, of not being buried as deeply. Keep in mind that a very powerful avalanche can carry away even large rocks and trees... This is essential to helping you stay near the surface of the snow. The human body is much denser than snow, so you'll tend to sink as you get carried downhill.  Try to stay afloat by kicking your feet and...

Most beauty shops sell acetone. You may also be able to find it in a drug store that sells beauty supplies. Once you have your acetone, add a few drops to a container. Acetone is acidic, so you will need a container it will not eat through. Avoid plastic. Use a glass cup instead. A shot glass would work. Just make sure to wash it thoroughly before drinking out of it again.

Most beginners try to go too long or too hard; this is a mistake. You end up getting too sore (some soreness is normal at the beginning of any new activity) or worse, injured. If you’re out of shape, and especially if you are overweight (20-plus pounds or more), start by walking 20-30 minutes, a few times a week. After a few weeks of this, start increasing your walking intervals — quick walking for a minute or two, then slowly walking for a minute, and repeat. If you feel you’re ready for running, or have done the above walking routine for at least a month and are ready to incorporate running, start with run-walking. That’s warming up with walking for 5-10 minutes, then jogging for a minute or so, alternating with walking rest periods. If you think you can run without the walking, do it for short periods at first — 10 minutes, then 12, then 15, and so on. Add some time every 2-3 runs, but don’t be too quick to add the distance. And don’t add faster paced running in yet. Remember that the key principle is this: your body will adapt if you give it time. Start slowly, let your body adapt to that, then gradually gradually add time. Later, when you’re used to running (after a couple of months), you can add intensity. Accept that you’ll be tempted to ignore this advice and be more ambitious. But don't ignore it; you’ll have a much better experience with running for following it. Better yet, if you take the time to build your stamina, you will pleased with your progress and be more likely to stick with it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Most boils are caused by ingrown hairs or by splinters or debris getting lodged in the skin. In otherwise healthy people with strong immune systems, the boils get resolved and fade away within a few weeks. However, if your boil persists for more than a few weeks (or is chronically occurring) and involves severe pain, swollen lymph nodes, fevers / chills and/or loss of appetite, then call your family doctor and have it examined. Large boils (greater than 2 inches in diameter) should also be looked at by your doctor.  Boils are not considered very serious, but other more serious conditions that can look similar include skin cancer, allergic reactions, wasp or bee stings, diabetic abscess, MRSA, herpes outbreak, and chicken pox. Applying antibiotic cream (Neosporin, Bacitracin, Polysporin) on boils often is ineffective because it doesn't penetrate deep enough into the skin to reach the bacteria. If your doctor confirms the skin lesion is a boil and not something more serious, then he/she might recommend lancing it if you've been dealing with it for more than a few weeks, or if it's particularly large or painful. Lancing is a minor in-office procedure in which the doctor applies a local anaesthetic and then makes a small incision into the tip of the boil to release the pus and promote drainage. The doctor will then bandage it up and send you home with basic cleaning instructions. Lancing by your doctor is always a much safer alternative to popping the boil at home yourself.  In some cases, large, deep skin infections that can't be completely drained by lancing may be packed with sterile gauze to help soak up additional pus. Depending on the size of the boil, lancing it may leave a small scar on your skin. This may be a concern if the boil is on your face, so weigh your options with your doctor carefully. Antibiotic medications are seldom needed to deal with boils, although your doctor may prescribe them if the infection is severe enough or reoccurring. For people with multiple or recurrent boils, antibiotics are...

Подумайте, когда все же стоит обратиться к врачу. Спросите врача, целесообразно ли вскрыть фурункул хирургическим путем. Принимайте антибиотики только в случае крайней необходимости.


Most boys forget about opening doors, letting the girl walk first, etc, believing that the behaviors are "old-fashioned." But nothing makes a girl notice you more than if you hold the door for her, help her with her books, or pull her chair out for her. Channel your inner gentleman. This isn't about patronizing her or acting like she isn't independent, it's about taking the time to be kind and thoughtful.  Offer her your arm when she's in heels, or hold hands through busy crowds. Let her go first through doors, down the street, and into the car. Offer her your seat, especially when they are limited (like on the bus). Avoid showing off or talking about yourself. Don't talk about other girls' booties or how big their boobs are. It shows you are disrespectful and may only see women sexually. This includes talking about your own girl's assets. While some girls don't mind the occasional compliment about it, over-emphasizing their physical attributes makes you seem uncreative and single-minded. Try not to use words like "hot" or "sexy." Instead, try "gorgeous" or "beautiful," which are a little gentler and apply to more than just her breasts and butt. Be nice, kind, and generous. Avoid bodily noises. Don't be obnoxious, putting on your music, your movies, and your shows all the time. Show her that you have been raised well and been taught to treat women with respect, which is really attractive. It is perfectly okay to have things you talk about with the boys but not your girl. You don't ever need to lie to her, you just don't have to bring up certain things. Some topics, like the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, are meant to stay between the guys. This doesn't mean you need to be joined at the hip. Spend time with your own friends as well, but check in with each other regularly to make sure she's not alone in the corner. Show her you care by kissing her all over (forehead, hand, ear) and making her feel like she's special every day. However, you each need to respect each other's boundaries. If something...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ведите себя по-рыцарски и помните о манерах. Не обсуждайте части тела девушки с ней или со своими друзьями. Не относитесь к ней, как к одному из своих друзей мужского пола.

Most brands of toothpaste make a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. These contain a chemical, potassium nitrate, which helps reduce sensitivity by protecting the nerves in your gums. Most of these toothpastes use a synthetic form of potassium nitrate, although some natural toothpaste brands such as Tom’s of Maine use a natural form. Both forms of potassium nitrate are safe to use. Follow the directions on the toothpaste tube for proper usage. The bristles on toothbrushes can range from soft to firm. The softer the bristles, the more gentle it will be on your teeth and gums when you brush your teeth. Choose a toothbrush that has soft bristles. If you have a habit of brushing hard on your teeth, this will be especially painful for you in the first few days after you get your braces. Be gentle on your teeth, slowly and carefully brushing in a circular motion. Take your time when brushing and when opening your mouth wide. When you have braces, you need to brush and floss after every time you eat, even when you are out of the house. Without this attentive care to your teeth, you risk getting cavities, swollen gums or other tooth problems. During the time you wear braces, your teeth need extra care. Carry a travel toothbrush, a mini tube of toothpaste and a small packet of floss with you when you are away from home so that you are always prepared to brush after eating.

TL;DR in Russian:

Покупайте пасту для чувствительных зубов. Используйте щетку с мягкой щетиной. Чистите зубы аккуратно. Чистите зубы и пользуйтесь зубной нитью после каждого приема пищи.


Most brands should suffice for a quick fix. Bear in mind that hair-spray may help affix the glitter in place on the garment, but will not hold up forever. You may need to use fabric glue or a transparent iron-on transfer for a more permanent fix. Shake the piece of clothing vigorously to remove any loose glitter. Lay a towel on a flat, dry surface. Then, lay the clothes flat out on the towel, with no creases. If there are any creases in the garment, the hairspray may fix them in place. Consider ironing the garment beforehand, if it's terribly wrinkly. Be thorough: apply a thick layer, and make sure that you don't miss any spots. If you notice any problem areas where the glitter is particularly loose, make sure to give those spots extra attention. Look for drying instructions on the hairspray bottle. Allow slightly more time than the package calls for, as fabric may dry differently than hair. Once the hairspray has dried onto the glitter, pick up the garment and shake it lightly. If any glitter falls off, you may need to reapply. If not, then it's probably okay to wear, but be gentle!

TL;DR in Russian:

Приобретите лак для волос. Стряхните излишки глиттера и приготовьтесь опрыскать одежду. Нанесите лак для волос на блеск. Дайте лаку высохнуть.


Most bronzing lotions and water don’t mix. Apply a light body oil a few minutes before showering to reduce the amount of bronzing lotion lost when you need to clean. Try using a body cleanser that says it is pH balanced and avoid harsh soaps that remove moisture and color from your skin. Try not to use scrubs or rough brushes as they remove some dead and dry skin as well as your new tan. If you notice that you missed a few spots, put a fresh pair of gloves on and apply a small amount of lotion in your palm. Apply the lotion in the same way as before. Be sure to apply the bronzing lotion lightly the second time and blend it around the edges so that appears even. Wipe off any excess bronzing lotion with a moist cloth. Dead skin will begin to peel and flake naturally as your skin begins to dry. The quicker your skin dries and flakes the quicker your tan will fade. Regularly apply a skin moisturizer in order to prolong your new sunless tan.

TL;DR in Russian:

Примите душ. Пройдитесь по пятнышкам и светлым участкам. Используйте средство для увлажнения кожи.

Most carriers will offer a range of phone options across operating systems (no OS is specific to a carrier). Major carriers often subsidize phones or offer different payment plans and contract combinations to reduce the up-front cost of smartphones.  Some carriers, like T-Mobile, allow you to forego a contract while paying off the phone as part of your monthly costs. Cancelling your service early will force you to pay the remainder of the phone’s costs at once. Unlocked phones are phones purchased outside of a carrier and thus not linked with a phone service contract. They are more expensive but allow you much more flexibility if you ever need to switch phone carriers. If buying an unlocked phone, make sure to doublecheck that the model is compatible with your specific carrier’s network. Most carriers have a webpage where you can check compatibility with your phone model's ID information, (for instance Verizon, or AT&T). Phone service carriers will usually offer a wide range of prepaid monthly plan options for phone minutes, texts, and data over the cellular network. You may be able to cut monthly costs by not purchasing a data plan at all, but this means you won't be able to access the internet from your phone if not on wifi. Screen size is measured corner to corner diagonally. Ultimately, screen size is a matter of preference. Smaller screen phones may fit better in your pocket and are often cheaper. Larger displays may be preferable if you plan to watch  a lot of videos.  iPhone offers the “SE” series for compact phones and the “Plus” series for an extra large screen. Android phones come in a wide range of sizes: there are smaller budget models such as Moto G or Galaxy S Mini, higher end models like the Galaxy S or the HTC One series, and oversized models like Galaxy Note or Nexus 6P. Newer phones are typically faster and more powerful than their respective older versions but will come at a higher cost. In particular, older model phones will have a more difficult time running modern applications.  For the...

Most cars come equipped with buttons that allow you to recirculate the air already in your car or to pull air in from outside. If your windshield is fogging, change the setting so the air gets pulled into the car from the outside. Look for the button that has a little car with an arrow pointing inside the car. Tap this so the light above it is on.  Alternatively, tap the button with a car and circular arrow inside of it so the light goes off. This turns off the function the recirculates the air already inside of your car. Because fog is caused by differing air temperatures, getting the air temperature inside your car to match the air outside will reduce fog. Turn your car fans on the highest setting, and turn the air temperature down as cold as you can stand. This is the fastest method but also the coldest, so be prepared to shiver a bit! The defrost vent will direct air straight at your windshield, but the cool air will help your windshield temperature match the air temperature outside. This can help get rid of the fog on your windshield.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте использовать другой источник воздуха. Понижайте температуру внутри автомобиля. Включите кондиционер на обдув холодным воздухом.


Most cars won't have an in-dash mounting location available, so it's usually best to mount your tach on the steering column.  Drill holes in the steering column and use the mounting bracket supplied with the tachometer, or rig your own. Directions for mounting typically are provided with new tachometers, as well as any necessary pieces.     Bracket mount the tachometer on the steering column. Fabricate or find a secure mounting bracket that will support the tachometer mounting points. Attach the bracket to the steering column. A simple U bracket would suffice for this.    Apply power to the tachometer by attaching the power input wire of the tachometer to the 12-volt dashboard lighting supply of the car. Provide power to the tachometer backlighting. Locate the 12-volt switched dash lighting supply for the dashboard on the car fuse box. Attach the tachometer backlighting wire. This light will remind you that it is recommended to change gears at the current RPM. Not all tachometers have the shift light feature. If your chosen tachometer does, follow the installation instructions to properly set the shift light. The shift light cannot be set if the engine is running.

Most cases of Toxic Shock Syndrome produce symptoms that can easily be mistaken for the flu or some other illness.  Listen closely to your body to help ensure that you don’t miss such important signs of TSS. TSS can cause a fever (usually above 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 39 degrees Celsius), major muscle aches and pains, headaches, vomiting or diarrhea, and other flu-like symptoms.  Weigh your risk for getting TSS (for instance, if you have an oozing surgical wound or are a menstruating young woman using tampons) versus your likelihood of having caught the flu.  If it is reasonably plausible that you may have TSS, keep a close eye out for other symptoms. If there is a “telltale” sign of TSS, it is a sunburn-like rash that appears on the palms and/or soles of the feet.  However, not every case of TSS includes the rash, and the rash can occur on any part of the body. People with TSS may also notice significant redness in or around the eyes, mouth, throat, and vagina.  If you have an open wound, look for signs of infection such as redness, swelling, tenderness, or discharge. Symptoms of TSS usually appear two to three days after infection, and often start off mild in nature.  They will, however, progress rapidly as the condition worsens rapidly, so be vigilant in watching for them if you have any inkling that you might have TSS. Watch for a rapid drop in blood pressure, usually accompanied by dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; confusion, disorientation, or seizures; or signs of kidney or another organ failure (such as significant area pain or signs of improper functioning).

TL;DR in Russian:

Остерегайтесь симптомов гриппа. Остерегайтесь видимых признаков ИТШ, вроде сыпи на руках, ногах и других участках тела. Определите другие серьезные симптомы.


Most cases of body lice will go away once the body has been cleansed of any nits or lice.  Unlike hair or pubic lice, body lice only invade the body when they need to feed and are not consistently present on the skin. Nits are rarely laid on the body. Your doctor will be able to provide you with prescription creams and body-washes that will help reduce any skin irritations or allergic reactions that may have resulted from body lice feeding (or from excessive scratching). In extreme cases, doctors may recommend the use of a pediculicide.  Popular over-the-counter pediculicides include "Clear," "Rid," and "Nix."  Pediculicides are designed to kill lice in one of two different ways.  Ovicidal pediculicides kill nits and only need to be used a few times. Non-ovicidal pediculicides kill mature body lice, but not nits.  It is therefore recommended that non-ovicidal pediculicides be used on a regular basis to avoid re-infestation (from nits that hatch). Be sure to wash all articles of clothing, bedding, and towels in water that is at least 130 °F (54 °C).  This will kill any lice or nits. Unfortunately, machine-drying certain articles of clothing may not be possible.  Due to the high risk of re-infestation, however, you should consider destroying these pieces if you can. Isolate infested items in a garbage bag for five-to-seven days, then rewash separately. This may cause the infestation to multiply. Vacuuming will remove any lice or nits that may have made their way into the seams and cracks of furniture.  Nits can lay dormant for up to two weeks, so it is imperative that you prevent them from being transmitted to another host by eliminating their presence in common areas. Pair vacuuming with disinfectant spray to help kill the lice.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно соблюдайте личную гигиену. Посетите врача. Используйте педикулициды. Избавьтесь от вшей, находящихся на одежде. Высушите одежду в сушильной машинке при высокой температуре. Поместите одежду, от которой не хотите избавляться, в мешок для мусора. Тщательно пропылесосьте обивку, матрасы и ковры.


Most cases of car sickness can be dealt with using lifestyle changes and home remedies. However, sometimes car sickness can get in the way of your job or everyday functioning. In this case, you should talk to your doctor about possible medical interventions, such as over-the-counter or prescription medication.  You should also talk to your doctor if you (or your child) experience symptoms well after you have gotten out of the car, severe headache, difficulty hearing or seeing, and difficulty walking. These could indicate issues that are more serious than regular car sickness.  Susceptibility to car sickness may be related to age, race, sex, hormone factors, sensory illness, and migraines. Ask your doctor if you have an elevated risk for motion sickness. There are over-the-counter and prescription drugs that are effective against car sickness. Most of them contain dimenhydrinate (aka dramamine) or meclizine. Some popular brands are Dramamine and Bonine/Antivert. Some of these are available as patches and can be particularly helpful because of their ability to release the medicine over time. Antihistamines can prevent nausea caused by motion sickness by dulling the inner ear's motion sensors. In order to work properly, you should take the medication 30-60 minutes before you begin your car trip. Look into the side effects before using any of these drugs (especially if you're driving), and ask your doctor just in case. Antihistamines can make you feel sleepy and affect your ability to operate machinery. Scopolamine is only safe for adult use--not for child use. It is prescription-only and is worn as a patch behind the ear. You must wear it 4 hours before your traveling commences. While its side effects can be severe (blurred vision and dry mouth), it is very effective at combating nausea caused by motion sickness. Talk to your doctor about whether it might be a good option for you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обсудите проблему с врачом. Принимайте антигистаминные средства за 30–60 минут до поездки. Попросите врача выписать вам скополамин.


Most cases of diarrhea are caused by viruses, like the common flu and others. Viral diarrhea should subside within a couple of days. Wait it out, stay hydrated, rest, and use over-the-counter anti-diarrheals for relief from symptoms. Diarrhea caused by contaminated food or water is often due to bacteria, or sometimes parasites. In this case, your doctor might need to prescribe you specific antibiotics or other medication to treat the infection. If your diarrhea doesn't improve within 2-3 days, see your doctor to determine whether there's an infectious cause. Note that antibiotics will only be prescribed if bacteria is known to be the cause for your diarrhea. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses or other causes, and they can cause unpleasant side effects or worsen your digestive problems if used incorrectly. Antibiotics are actually a common cause of diarrhea, because they change the balance of bacteria in your gut. Cancer drugs and antacids with magnesium can also cause or worsen diarrhea. If you have frequent diarrhea and you're not sure why, ask your doctor about your medications – they may be able to lower your dose or switch you to something different. Never stop or change your prescribed medications without consulting your doctor. This can have serious health consequences. Some digestive diseases can cause chronic or frequent diarrhea, including Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, Irrirtable Bowel Syndrome, and issues with your gall bladder (or after having it surgically removed). Work with your doctor to control the underlying disease. Your doctor might refer you to an intestine and stomach specialist called a gastroenterologist. For some people, feeling very stressed or anxious can cause stomach upset. Use relaxation techniques on a regular basis to reduce your stress level and during bouts of diarrhea to help ease discomfort. Try meditation or deep breathing exercises. Regularly practice mindfulness, go for walks in nature, listen to music – whatever helps you relax.

TL;DR in Russian:

Переждите вирусную инфекцию. В случае бактериальной инфекции принимайте отпускаемые по рецепту препараты. Посоветуйтесь с врачом относительно того, чтобы перейти на другие препараты. Занимайтесь лечением хронических заболеваний. Сведите к минимуму стресс и чувство тревоги.


Most cases of food poisoning can be handled at home. Symptoms can begin within hours and last for hours or days and even longer in some cases.  Mildly contaminated foods, or some types of contaminants, may not cause the symptoms to start for several days, or even longer. When the onset of symptoms is delayed, the duration of the problem can last for days to weeks. Chronic symptoms should be promptly evaluated by a doctor especially if you are having hematemesis or hematochezia, which is bloody vomit or diarrhea, respectively. The symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps, sweating, and fever. You may want to let your stomach settle for an hour or so, but then you need to start introducing fluids to prevent dehydration. Take small sips of whatever liquid you can most easily tolerate, and continue to drink as much as possible throughout the day.  Sip on water or suck on ice chips. Taking small sips of water may help calm nausea and will provide your body with a small and steady dose of this essential liquid. If your stomach is not ready for liquid, then try putting ice chips in your mouth and let them dissolve. Try sucking on a ginger candy or drink some ginger tea. Ginger can help with digestion and treat stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea. Diarrhea and vomiting also cause your body to lose essential electrolytes. A good way to replace the lost electrolytes is to sip on a caffeine-free sports drink (not an energy drink) once you can hold it down.  Other products are available for adults and children that help to replenish fluids and restore electrolytes. These products are called electrolyte replacement drinks. Types of sports drinks include Gatorade and Powerade, to name a few. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for a specific recommendation. Sometimes a little carbonation may actually help reduce symptoms of nausea. Try sipping on ginger ale or other clear carbonated beverages over ice. Sip on clear broth, such as chicken, vegetable, or beef, once your...

Most cases will just one screwdriver to access. Some cases use thumbscrews, but a screwdriver can still help loosen an overly-tight screw.  The most common screw is a 6-32, which you can use a standard #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove. This is the larger of the two most common sizes. The second most common screw is the M3. This is slightly smaller than the 6-32, but can still be removed with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. If you want to clean the inside of your case, you'll likely need some compressed air and a small vacuum. An electrostatic wriststrap can be helpful for grounding yourself while working inside the computer, but you can ground yourself without one. Use your operating system's Shutdown function turn the computer off. If you're afraid you won't be able to remember where everything goes when you need to plug it back in, take a picture or draw a diagram first. This is located on the back of the computer, and contains a variety of different connectors, including Ethernet, speakers, USB, display, and more. Knowing where this is will help you orient your case on the table. This will ensure that you remove the correct panel on the computer and can access the components inside. Avoid laying your case on the carpet when working on the inside. You should see two or three screws along the top edge of the back of the case that hold the side panel in place. Removing these screws will allow you to remove the side panel. Lots of enthusiast cases and some cases from major manufacturers will use different case panel mechanisms. Some use thumbscrews that you can remove by hand, while others have a simple latch and no screws at all. If you're having difficulty figuring out how to remove or open the side panel on your case, look up your computer or case model online. Electrostatic discharge can cause significant damage to your components without you even realizing it. Ensure that you are properly grounded by attaching your electrostatic wristband to the bare metal of the computer case, or by touching a metal water...

Most castles are painted gray. However, there are many castles that are beige, white, and brown. Additionally, consider using a darker shade of the same color to outline any bricks or embellishments. Each medium works best with specific kinds of paint. For example:  You can use almost any kind of paint on wood. However, spray paint and water based acrylic paint work best. Any water based acrylic or latex paint works well on foam. However, avoid using spray paint as it will dissolve the foam.  You can use water and oil based paints on paper and cardboard. However, use spray paint sparingly as it may make these mediums soggy and weak. Once the walls of the castle are dry, you can begin painting any embellishments. Use a variety of colors to paint accents on your castle. For example, use a deep burgundy to paint any rooftops. Other accents include:  Window sills Window panes Doors and gates If you’re building a simple foam or cardboard castle, consider painting the landscape. This is a quick, easy way to give your castle a colorful backdrop. If you want to create a realistic landscape, visit a craft store for fake grass and small stones. Other realistic touches include:  Creating small hills with foam and covering them with grass Lining a small pathway with stones Creating a moat and filling it with clear epoxy to create “water” Place small accessories around the castle or on the landscape. Accessories can include small human figures, trees, shrubbery, bridges, and gates. Many of these items can be purchased at a craft store. However, if you’re on a budget or if you’re feeling inspired, you can make your own at home. For example:  Make your own trees by gluing a shredded green sponge to some copper wire.  Craft a drawbridge using tongue depressors and hot glue. Create small bushes by crumpling small pieces of green tissue paper. Use a small jewelry chain to create a realistic drawbridge.

Most cats are naturally a little skittish about having their paws handled, so begin by helping your cat get accustomed to it.  Wait for a time when your cat is relaxed and lounging. Begin gently petting its paws while simultaneously petting the cat in its favorite spots (the back of the neck, under the chin, where its back meets its tail, etc.). Do this for each paw you plan to trim. The cat might pull its paws away, or even get up and walk away. Let it go; don't force it to do anything, but continue to gently pet its paws when you have the opportunity. Whenever you handle your cat’s paws, reward it with treats and praise to help build positive associations. Once your cat is comfortable enough to allow you to rest your hand on its paws without pulling away, start to gently hold its paws in your open hand.  Place your hand over the cat’s paw, then flip your hand around so the bottom of the cat's paw is on the palm of your hand. Keep rewarding the cat with petting and treats; give the cat a new, special treat that will only be associated with cutting its claws. After your cat grows accustomed to you holding its paws, start holding the paws and massaging them with your fingers.  Gently massage your fingers over the tops and bottoms of each paw you plan to trim. Reward your cat with more treats and praise. Eventually, you should be able to gently squeeze the paws (applying most of the pressure on the pads) to push individual claws out without upsetting your cat.  When your cat’s claws are extended, you’ll see the thick part of the nail, and, towards the cat’s toe, a pinkish area inside the nail, called the quick. The quick is the living part of the nail and contains blood vessels and nerves, so cutting a cat’s nail to the quick is quite painful for the cat. Never cut a cat's nail close to or with flush with the toe; your aim is to clip off only the sharp point.  Look carefully at where and how large each quick is--through a clear nail it will look like a small pink triangle. Each of your cat’s nails will be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Погладьте кошку по лапам. Подержите кошку за лапы. Помассируйте лапы. Осмотрите когти животного. Приучите кошку к позе для стрижки когтей.


Most cats don't like the feel of large pieces of mulch, so they will avoid the areas with it. In addition, part of the attraction of a garden is the fresh dirt, which most cats view as a litter box. By covering up the fresh dirt, you make that area less inviting. You can lay this wire across the paths that lead to your garden. Cats do not like the openings in the wire on their paws and will usually stay away. You can also lay the wire across your beds and cover it with mulch. Use wire cutters to create holes for your plants, and bend the ends of the wire down, pressing them into the ground. This wire deters cats from using the dirt as a litter box and from clawing at the dirt. Criss-cross branches across your plant beds. Cats won't like walking on the branches, and you can place plants in the openings. An alternative to branches is lattice work. Plants can grow up through the holes of the lattice, and cats won't like walking on it. Though these mats sound malicious, they are not harmful to the cats. They have small plastic spikes on the mats that cats don't like walking on. You cut the mat into pieces and then set them along your beds. These types of repellants, which you can find at local gardening and hardware stores, come in granules or sprays. Cats do not like the smell, so it will keep them out of the area.  Granules are better if you need to cover a large area. If you want to keep cats away from a certain plant, the spray is easier. You will need to renew this when you see cats coming back in your yard.  Lion dung is an effective repellant that you can buy online. The cat is scared off because it thinks a bigger predator is around. Most cats do not like the smell of citrus. One easy method is to scatter citrus peels around the yard, though you will need to replenish them frequently. Instead of peels, you can use sprays that have citrus scents. You can also dissolve citrus essential oils and spray it around your garden. Simply dissolve 10-15 drops of oil in a cup of water, and place it in a spray bottle....

TL;DR in Russian:

Покройте почву мульчей. Натяните на некоторых участках проволочную сетку с отверстиями в 2,5 см. Используйте палочки или ветки. Разместите в саду шипованные коврики. Воспользуйтесь репеллентом.

Most cats have basic, obvious reasons for being up at night. Your cat is most likely bored or hungry, or she may need you to clean the litter box. Your cat is quite often left inside the house all day while you are at work or school with little interaction. She sleeps all day and may be bored at night with no one to play with. One of the worst things you can do is jump up as soon as she meows or pounces on you and feed her. She will think that is the best way to get more food and will continue the behavior. Holding out for a long time before giving in is also a bad choice. This may even encourage her more than giving in right away. She will think it is a game to see how long it will take you to finally wake up and give her food. The delayed gratification is more like a chase, which speaks to her instincts. It's better not to give in at all. Cats like to jump from high places and pounce on things. When you are sleeping, you are the perfect target. Look around your room to see if there are common places that your cat pounces from. Look for high shelves, headboards, or dressers that she might climb on to get to you at night. If possible, you can remove them from your room or re-position them so she can't jump on you. If that isn't possible, put slippery cloth on them or cover them with items that she can't knock off. This will deter her from jumping up to those areas and pouncing on you. If your cat wakes you up by bringing you vermin, you need to stop the behavior. Keep the cat indoors at night if she's an indoor/outdoor feline. This will remove her ability to bring you kills in the middle of the night. If your cat uses a cat flap to have outside access instead of a litter box, this may not be an option. If this is the case, keep the cat in the room that has the cat flap. This will allow her to get out but keep her away from your bedroom so she can't bring you mice in the middle of the night. You can try to give her access to a secure room at night. Leave her in a nice, warm place with some food, water, and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выявите причину, почему кошка беспокоит вас ночью. Не кормите кошку. Уберите источники соблазна. Минимизируйте доступ кошки к отлавливаемым ею вредителям. Если возможно, не пускайте кошку к себе в спальню.


Most cats love to have their heads massaged. Use your palms of your hands to give your kitty circular rubs on the top of his head as well as on the back of his head and on his temples. Use your fingertips to massage around and behind his ears. You might want to come back to the head after you’ve massaged your cat more, since he might need to be more relaxed in order to fully appreciate having his head massaged. After you've massaged your cat's head, rub under the cat's neck very slowly and gently. Massage your cat with your fingers, making small circular motions up and down his neck. Be careful not to press into his neck. You can use one hand or two. Use little circular motions with your fingers to massage his cheeks and his forehead. You can also use the palms of your hands on each side of his face. Your cat may purr or close his eyes in approval. If he likes what you're doing, he may even let you massage the little area around his eyes, on his nose or around his whiskers.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проведите массаж головы. Проведите массаж подбородка и шеи. Проведите массаж морды.


Most cats will need to be brushed regularly. You can buy a brush that is wire or you can get a wire and bristle combo. Additionally, you could get a comb that is metal toothed. A brush will be especially important if you are getting a long-haired cat. If this is the case, you may want to get a de-shedding brush for the cat to minimize the amount of fur that builds up in your home. Every cat needs its nails trimmed once in awhile, so you should buy some nail trimmers in preparation for bringing a new cat home. Cat nail trimmers come in two types: guillotine type and a scissor type. The guillotine type are generally easier to use than the scissor type.  You can also use human nail clippers to trim your cat's nails in a pinch. Trimming a cat's nails is good for the cat but it can also cut down on the damage they can do to your furniture when scratching. When you get a new cat there may be accidents in your home, such as the cat vomiting or going to the bathroom where it shouldn't. Be prepared for this by buying cleaning supplies that are specially made for cleaning up cat bodily fluids.  These products usually contain special enzymes that eat up the acids in cat urine.  These products are available at your local pet supply store and at many general big box stores.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите щетку для кота. Купите когтерезку. Купите моющие средства.


Most cats will prefer the litter box to other parts of the house because of the texture of the litter. But, there are still steps you need to take to make sure you're offering the litter box as the best place to use the bathroom.  Place the box in a quiet spot where the cat won’t be bothered by people, dogs, or loud noises. To keep the litter box clean, make sure you scoop the litter daily, and clean the box weekly. You should also replace or refresh the litter at least once a week.  Provide enough litter boxes for more than one cat. If you have 2 cats, you need 3 litter boxes in different areas of the home. One cat might try to intimidate a less dominate cat away from using a single box. Don't frighten or startle your cat when it's using the box, or it may form a bad association with the box and start avoiding it. Buy a large box, even if you have to spend a little money on it. Cats are more comfortable in a larger (in area, not height) box.  Don’t switch brands of litter on your cat, because cats don’t like sudden change. Switching from a clay litter to a scoopable clumping type of litter or vice versa might upset the cat so much it stops using the box. Don’t use heavily scented litters that might deter a cat from litter box use. Keep in mind that kittens and older cats with arthritis or other health problems may have problems getting in and out of a box that's too tall. Use low-height boxes in an easily accessible area for kittens and cats with special needs, or buy an adjustable litter box. Scratching is a normal part of cat behavior, and there's no way you can train it out of them. If your cat still has its claws, he'll need one or two scratching posts to keep him from scratching up furniture, woodwork, and so on. By providing a post, you allow the cat to indulge in normal, healthy behavior. Cats are curious, and will jump on counters or other places you'd like them to steer clear of. Scat mats, a perfectly timed mist of water from a spray bottle, or even a stern “no” can correct this behavior. With time...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте лоток более привлекательным для кошки. Сделайте лоток приятным. Учитывайте возраст животного. Установите когтеточку. Не давайте кошке забираться в запрещенные места. Купите средства с кошачьими феромонами.


Most cats won't like to be anywhere near water, but some breeds are more accommodating than others. If you'd like your cat to be water-friendly, consider getting any of the following common cat breeds:  Bengal Turkish angora or van American bobtail Maine coon Kittens are more likely to be calm around water the earlier you introduce them to it. Within the first few months of the cat's life, it's ok to try to introduce them to water calmly and gently, going a little at a time.  Introduce the cat to water when its calm and tired. The best time to bathe a cat? Right after its been playing, or has eaten. Cats tend to get really active just before eating, and just after is the perfect time to try to introduce your kitten to water, if necessary. Trim the cat's claws before you try to introduce it to water, and wear long sleeves when you're trying to play with the cat in water. Many house cats are fascinated by dripping faucets. For a quick test, to see whether or not your cat will be water-friendly or easy to bathe, try to set your faucet to drip at a slow, even rate. Set your cat up on the counter and see if it seems interested in the dripping. Some cats will play with faucet water, or even drink from it. Others will ignore it completely. Both are perfectly normal cat responses. Make sure to be quiet, slow and gentle and use warm water in a spray bottle. Use a calm tone of voice and hold the cat against your body with one hand firmly under its belly. Pet the cat along the back of the neck and the jaw to help it calm down some if you're trying to introduce it to water. Move extremely slowly.  In some cases, it's good to wrap the cat in a soft, fluffy, warm towel while you're doing this. You can use it to dry the cat off when you're finished, and use it to calm the cat now. Never try to introduce a cat to water by submerging it in the tub. There's no reason to use that much water to clean a small cat, and you'll only serve to aggravate the animal. The best way for a cat to contact water is with its paws. Use a small...

TL;DR in Russian:

Можно сразу выбрать котенка той породы, которой нравятся водные процедуры. Начинайте знакомить котенка с водой как можно раньше. Сначала покажите кошке, как капает вода. Будьте спокойны и аккуратны. Возьмите мягкую тряпочку, намочите ее и вытрите лапы котенка. Если нужно, намочите котенка сильнее. Сразу же обсушите кошку полотенцем. Не заставляйте котенка контактировать с водой.


Most cats would rather graze throughout the day, rather than gorging themselves all at once. With this in mind, feed the cat more frequently, rather than offering larger meals. This is more in tune with the cat's natural digestive processes and its more likely to finish a small bowl of food than a large one. Canned food has a high moisture content (around 70-75% is water) so an easy way of getting more calories into a cat is to switch to dry kibble (provided kitty is happy to eat dry food). The lower moisture content means that for each mouthful of food eaten the cat is taking in nearly four times as many calories. Consider offering a highly palatable, calorie dense food. Hills AD is a recovery diet made to put weight on cats that are convalescing after an illness. It is liver based and ultra tasty for many cats, as well as being calorie dense. It's soft pate like texture also encourages cats to eat who have sore mouths, or are otherwise feeling delicate. Treats are usually tasty, which means high calorie, and attractive to most cats. However, be careful not to dull the cat's appetite when it comes to mealtimes. For example, be careful if you decide to increase your cat's calorie intake by giving cream or milk. The cream has a high fat content that can trigger diarrhea, which will then cause your cat to lose precious calories. Milk contains lactose which many cats are unable to digest and will therefore also give the cat diarrhea. Stop feeding for weight gain and start on a maintenance food. Weigh out the ration and give the amount recommended on the package for a cat of that weight.

TL;DR in Russian:

Увеличьте частоту кормлений. Повысьте калорийность корма. Подумайте об угощении кошки лакомством в промежутках между кормлениями. Будьте осторожны с тем, что добавляете кошке в корм. Пересмотрите режим питания, когда кошка достигнет целевого веса.


Most ceiling mold comes from water moving through a leaking roof. If the water is coming through the roof then you must repair the roof before cleaning the mold. If you do not repair the roof, the mold will simply return. Oftentimes bathroom and kitchen ceilings will develop mold because there is inadequate ventilation. You can add fans or extractors to the room to allow moist air to escape. Some extractors can be installed by yourself and some will need to be professionally fitted. Speak to a representative at your local hardware supply store to see what kind of extractor will suit your room. Mold prefers to grow in dark conditions so keeping windows open to allow sunshine will help prevent the growth of mold colonies on your ceilings. If you cannot add natural light try adding additional lighting, which will also add heat and reduce the growth of mold. If your house has poor insulation, this can encourage mold growth, including on the ceiling. The effect of cold air on the outside of walls and warm air on the inside can cause condensation. When warmer, more humid air meets the cold wall, condensation forms, contributing to mold problems.  Insulation provides a barrier between the cold air outside and warm air inside, reducing the conditions causing mold growth. Insulation should be improved in walls and around heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems. A small patch of mold growth on the underside of the ceiling can indicate a large colony on the other side of the ceiling. If you remove the small patch on the underside of the ceiling but there is still a large colony on the other side it will simply grow back. Mold prefers damp and warm conditions. Dehumidifiers remove the humidity from the air, reducing the ability of mold to grow and thrive. After showering leave the shower doors open and the fan on for at least 15 minutes to allow the water vapor to escape. This removes the humidity that mold prefers for growth. Wet towels can add humidity to a room. Make sure you hang your towels to allow them...
