Use the same active language as you’d use throughout a resume. In addition to keeping your language consistent, skipping personal pronouns and using sentence fragments can make your summary as concise as possible.  For instance, instead of writing, “Glen coordinated at least 5 installations per month, and he increased the company’s productivity by 20%,” you’d write “Coordinated at least 5 installations per month and increased the company’s productivity by 20%.” There’s limited space on your resume, so limit your summary to 2 to 3 sentences, or about 50 to 150 words. As with other types of descriptions, start by stating who you are and what you do. Use the template: [Professional title] with [length of time] of experience in [2 to 3 specific skills]. Write, for example, “Product application specialist with over 5 years of experience in computer-aided design and office systems installation solutions.” After the introductory sentence, add context to your experience. Provide specific examples of how you’ve put your skills into practice. Call attention to professional accomplishments that show potential employers what you bring to the table.  For instance: “Served as senior development officer for an international nonprofit. Revamped fundraising campaign strategies and generated a 25% year-over-year increase in donations.” Review the key skills listed in job descriptions, and include them in your resume summary. Employers and recruiters want to see how you’ve honed the specific skills the job requires.

Use the same ready-position as you would with an overhand float serve, with your feet shoulder width apart and slightly staggered.  Your weight should be resting on your back foot and your body leaning slightly forward. You will hold your shelf arm out perpendicular to your body to throw the ball. Bring your hitting arm back with your elbow pointing behind you, at about eye level. Throw the ball up into the air like you would for a float serve, but throw it at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the starting point.  Be sure to throw it straight up, not to the side, to allow for a balanced hit. Although you are throwing it a bit higher for the topspin serve than for the float serve, do not throw it too high. You will likely under/overestimate the timing to hit it, leading to an unbalanced hit. Use the same pose as you would for a float hit, with your elbow above your ear and behind your head. Instead of punching at the ball like a float serve, you will instead hit downwards with an open hand.  As you swing, you will turn so your throwing shoulder is facing away from the ball.  Snap your wrist downwards so that your fingers are angled towards the floor. Do this as you make contact with the ball to push it forward. Follow through all the way with you arm on this serve, so that your hand will come to a stop much lower than where the ball originally was. You will end the hit with your weight shifted to your front foot.

TL;DR in Russian:

Займите правильную позицию. Подбросьте мяч. Отведите руку назад для удара. Махните вперед рукой, чтобы ударить по мячу.


Use the same soap each time you wash your hands. Your hedgehog will begin to associate that scent with you and be more comfortable. Do not wear gloves when you handle your hedgehog. Your hedgehog will not be able to smell you.  Hedgehogs may also be frightened by the smell of gloves and begin to bite. If you do not want to use your bare hands, use a blanket instead. If you do use a blanket, use the same one each time and wash it with the same detergent. Place your hands on both sides of your hedgehog and scoop him off the ground. Allow your hedgehog to find a comfortable position in your hands. You want him to feel supported and safe.  It is best to pick up your hedgehog when he is belly down. You can hold your hedgehog in your hands or place him on your lap. Your hedgehog may ball up when you pick him up. This is completely normal.  Do not handle your hedgehog right after you eat, touch something with a strong smell, or handle another animal. Your hedgehog will not know that it's you and may bite you or huff and ball up. Wash your hands thoroughly to get rid of the smell. Your hedgehog may be shy and take a long time to unroll. You can let him relax under a blanket until he unrolls, or you can let him rest on your lap. Your hedgehog will learn that your lap is a safe, comfortable place to sleep and relax.  Always be gentle when you are holding your hedgehog. Being too rough or impatient can damage the relationship you are trying to build. Feel free to watch TV or use your computer while your hedgehog rests in your lap. Always pet your hedgehog in the direction the quills lie. Petting in the opposite direction will be uncomfortable for both you and your hedgehog. When your hedgehog is relaxed, his quills will lie evenly. If your hedgehog feels threatened, the quills will become more spread out and sharp to the touch.  Avoid petting your hedgehog when he feels threatened. Your hedgehog may not enjoy being petted until he trusts you. Go slow with the petting at first.

Мойте руки, прежде чем взять ежика. Берите ежика очень осторожно. Дайте ежику время на то, чтобы развернуться. Гладить ежика надо от головы к хвосту.


Use the same thinset/additive mixture you used to create your smooth surface. The additive helps create a better bond with your tiles, and it's a good idea let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes so the chemicals can react to one another. Mix up only about as much mortar as you can work with in 45 minutes. You don't want your thinset to dry out before you can use it. Apply the thinset mixture across the area above your support shelf, just wide enough to install a row of tile. Then, score the thinset mixture. Comb the notched edge of the trowel through the mixture at an angle such that the scored lines runs parallel to your support shelf. Line up the middle of the first tile with the center line, resting the bottom edge on the shelf.  Gently tip the tile into the thinset from the bottom to the top. Then, wiggle the tile gently to set it in place. Set additional tiles on either side of the center tile. Use the same method for placing the first tile. Make sure the tiles are level and spaced evenly. Alternate placing tiles on the left and right side of your row until you reach the outside edges. As you did for the first row, apply mortar and tiles, working up the center line row by row. Follow the design you have laid out on the cardboard or plywood until the upper field is completed. Use spacers between your rows to ensure they are all the same distance apart. Once you've finished the upper field, let it dry before you proceed any further. This will take several hours, so you may want to just let it set overnight.

Use the shears to cut them back about a third of their length. Trim the branches off at a 45 degree angle.  If there are any side shoots on the branches further down the base of the plant, you can prune a few of these shoots. Do not cut off any nodules on the plants as you prune, which are new buds that have not bloomed or opened yet. Check the plant for any stems that are unusually long. They may appear loose or straggling, falling off different areas of the plant. Pruning leggy stems will help the plant to grow in a fuller, more even pattern. Use the shears to cut the leggy stems back to one third their length, cutting at a 45 degree angle. If you have soft-stemmed houseplants like coleus, heartleaf philodendron, and English ivy, make sure you pinch them regularly. Use your thumb and forefinger to remove the tip of a stem. Pinch above the node, which is the growing point where the leaf is attached to the plant. Pinching off the stems can help maintain the bushy shape of the plant and encourage even growth. It also helps to prevent the growth of leggy stems. Do not over prune the plant, as this can make it difficult for it to grow properly. Make selective cuts to the plant, removing only 10-20% of the foliage at a time. Wait a few weeks to one month to prune the plants again. Always leave some foliage on the plant when you prune. If you are in doubt, under prune the plant and then reevaluate it a few weeks later.

TL;DR in Russian:

Произведите обрезку примерно половины самых длинных ветвей на растении. Обрежьте слишком сильно вытянувшиеся стебли. Произведите прищипывание кончиков стеблей. За одну процедуру обрезки удаляйте с растения лишь 10–20 % листвы.


Use the spade to dig holes spaced a few inches apart, or as indicated on the packaging of the seeds or young plants you bought. Make sure the holes are as deep and wide as they need to be. Place the seeds or plants in the holes and cover them with soil. Pat the soil gently into place. Depending on the plants you choose to grow, you may need to fertilize the garden again after planting. Some plants may need more fertilizer than others, so make sure you use it only in the spots that require it. Some types of plants require a thin covering of compost, mulch or topsoil to protect them during seed germination and while the plant is young and fragile. Spread the material by hand, or use a soil spreader to cover a larger area.  Some types of compost or mulch aren't appropriate for certain plants. Conduct research on the produce you're growing to make sure you use the right ground cover. Too thick a layer could inhibit growth, so make sure you add only as much as each type of plant needs. When you're finished planting and treating the soil, use the garden-hose nozzle's "sprinkler" setting to dampen the garden thoroughly. Water the garden every day you don't get significant rain, adding more or less water to different areas according to the plants' needs for the first few weeks after planting.  Over-saturating the soil could drown the seeds and prevent the plants from growing. Don't water to the point where streams of water run through the garden. Never let the soil completely dry out. Watering once a day is sufficient. Once the plants have sprouted, water in the morning, rather than at night. Water sitting on the leaves and stems all night can lead to the production of mold and other plant diseases. After a few weeks, reduce how often you water the plants. Give the garden deep waterings two or three times a week or as needed. . Sprouting weeds take nutrients from the soil, leaving less for your vegetables or flowers. Weed the garden every few days to make sure your plants get the nutrients they need. Be careful not...

Use the spatula to help shift as much as possible from the processor to the jar. The tahini is ready to use immediately. If storing, keep in the refrigerator to reduce the potential for rancidity and use within three months. In a cool climate, it may be possible to keep tahini in your pantry. If your kitchen gets hot regularly, prefer the refrigerator for storage.

Use these as the two highest cards in the deck. They can beat anything and will give the player(s) who get dealt them a good hand. Take two of each card (so two Aces, two Kings, two 3's etc.) and place them apart from the other half of the deck. Shuffle and use only these 26 cards to play. The game will go much more quickly. For instance, at the beginning of the game, pick a wild card.  Example: Designate the 2 of hearts and the 3 of diamonds to be unbeatable cards. Even an Ace cannot stand up to a wild card. Line up each of your 26 cards face-down directly across from your opponent's 26 cards. Go down the line and flip each card, as your opponent flips each card. Collect the pairs of cards that you win and repeat. Play until one player wins all of the cards.

Use these questions as a guide to help you focus on the important and relevant material. As you are skimming the chapter, ask yourself if the material you are reading is answering these questions. If it is not, then skip it. Look for key words like “effects,” “results,” “causes,” “versus,” and “pros and cons,” for example. These key words will clue you into the chapter’s thesis or main idea. Knowing the main ideas beforehand will help you identify sections of the chapter that need careful reading. Highlight and refer back to the main idea or thesis so you can stay on topic. Rephrase section headings and subheadings into questions to help you focus on the important ideas being presented. If the section heading says, “Kramer’s Three Social Laws,” then rephrase it into a question by saying, “What are Kramer’s three social laws?” Then read the information that answers this question. Remember that bolded or italicized headings and subheadings contain clues to the most important information. If you understand these two sentences, then just skim or skip the paragraph. If you do not understand the first and last sentences, then read the entire paragraph. Make sure to slow down when you encounter complex paragraphs and sentences. This way, you will be able to fully understand what the author is trying to articulate in the paragraph. Skim the book for important concepts, people, places, and events. These are usually bolded or italicized. If you understand a concept, then you can skip the contextual information that explains it. Read the supporting text and contextual information only if you do not fully understand a concept. Ask some of your classmates if they are willing to do this. If they are, assign sections of the chapter amongst one to three other classmates. Each classmate should be responsible for their section. Make sure that you all can come to an agreement about each person's responsibilities. For example, devise a plan where each student in the group reads and writes a detailed outline for their respective...

Use this measurement to get the size of the pirate hat accurate. This is the part that tends to make the pirate costume. Fortunately, it's very easy to make a pirate's hat. Use this as the template. If you're not confident in this, one can be found online. Place the template over lightweight card and trace around it. Do this twice, as you need two sides to the hat. Cut out the hat shape. Run glue or tape around the edges of the hat, leaving the base of the hat where your head goes in untouched. Let dry if using glue. Go over with at least two coats and let dry. Then paint on the skull and crossbones design in white. Again, if you're not super artsy, print this off the internet and glue on. If you're using paint, this may take two coats; white over black at first is gray. Be patient -- your hat is one of the flashiest parts of your outfit -- put the time in to make it right. Tape this together in a loop or circle. Slide this inside the hat and tape or glue to the hat. This will help to keep the hat shape open and keep it snugly on your head. If it's really windy out and you're forced to become an outdoor pirate, add elastic to keep the hat in place. Only do this as a last option though, as it can look a bit bulky and silly.

Use this method if you know:  multiple distances that were traveled; and the amount of time it took to travel each of those distances.  For example: If Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour, what was his average speed for the entire trip? The formula is S=dt{\displaystyle S={\frac {d}{t}}}, where S{\displaystyle S} equals the average speed, d{\displaystyle d} equals the total distance, and t{\displaystyle t} equals the total time. To do this, add up the number of miles traveled during the entire trip. Substitute this value for d{\displaystyle d} in the formula. For example, If Ben traveled 150 miles, 120 miles, and 70 miles, you would determine the total speed by adding the three distances together: 150+120+70=340{\displaystyle 150+120+70=340}. So, your formula will look like this: S=340t{\displaystyle S={\frac {340}{t}}}. To do this, add up the times, usually hours, that were spent traveling. Substitute this value for t{\displaystyle t} in the formula. For example, If Ben for 3 hours, 2 hours, and 1 hour, you would determine the total time by adding the three times together: 3+2+1=6{\displaystyle 3+2+1=6}. So, your formula will look like this: S=3406{\displaystyle S={\frac {340}{6}}}. This will give you your average speed. For example:S=3406{\displaystyle S={\frac {340}{6}}}S=56.67{\displaystyle S=56.67}. So if Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour, his average speed was about 57 mph.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите на данные величины. Запишите формулу для вычисления средней скорости. Вычислите общий пройденный путь. Вычислите общее время в пути. Разделите общий путь на общее время.


Use this method if you know:  two different speeds; and that those speeds were used for the same distance. For example, if Ben drives the 160 miles to the waterpark at 40 mph, and returns the 160 miles home driving 60 mph, what is his average speed for the entire trip? The formula is s=2aba+b{\displaystyle s={\frac {2ab}{a+b}}}, where s{\displaystyle s} equals the average speed, a{\displaystyle a} equals the speed for the first half of the distance, and b{\displaystyle b} equals the speed for the second half of the distance.  Often problems requiring this method will involve a question about a return trip. In these types of problems, it doesn’t matter how far each speed is driven, as long as each speed is used for half the total distance. You can modify the formula if given three speeds for the same distance. For example, s=3abcab+bc+ca{\displaystyle s={\frac {3abc}{ab+bc+ca}}}. It doesn’t matter which speed you substitute for a{\displaystyle a} and which you substitute for b{\displaystyle b}. For example, if the first speed is 40 mph, and the second speed is 60 mph, your formula will look like this: s=(2)(40)(60)40+60{\displaystyle s={\frac {(2)(40)(60)}{40+60}}}. This number should be the numerator of your fraction. For example:s=(2)(40)(60)40+60{\displaystyle s={\frac {(2)(40)(60)}{40+60}}}s=480040+60{\displaystyle s={\frac {4800}{40+60}}}. This number should be the denominator of your fraction. For example:s=480040+60{\displaystyle s={\frac {4800}{40+60}}}s=4800100{\displaystyle s={\frac {4800}{100}}}. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. For example:s=4800100{\displaystyle s={\frac {4800}{100}}}s=48{\displaystyle s=48}. So, if Ben drives 40 mph for 160 miles to the waterpark, then 60 mph for the 160 miles home, his average speed for the trip is 48 mph.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите на данные величины. Запишите формулу для вычисления средней скорости, если даны две скорости и одинаковые значения участков пути. В формулу подставьте значения скоростей. Произведение двух скоростей умножьте на 2. Сложите две скорости. Сократите дробь.


Use this method if you know:  two or more different speeds; and that those speeds were traveled for the same amount of time. For example, if Ben drives 40 mph for 2 hours, and 60 mph for another 2 hours, what is his average speed for the entire trip? The formula is s=a+b2{\displaystyle s={\frac {a+b}{2}}}, where s{\displaystyle s} equals the average speed, a{\displaystyle a} equals the speed for the first half of the time, and b{\displaystyle b} equals the speed for the second half of the time.  In these types of problems, It doesn’t matter for how long each speed is driven, as long as each speed is used for half the total duration of time. You can modify the formula if you are given three or more speeds for the same amount of time. For example, s=a+b+c3{\displaystyle s={\frac {a+b+c}{3}}} or s=a+b+c+d4{\displaystyle s={\frac {a+b+c+d}{4}}}. As long as the speeds were used for the same amount of time, your formula can follow this pattern. It doesn’t matter which speed you substitute for a{\displaystyle a} and which you substitute for b{\displaystyle b}. For example, if the first speed is 40 mph, and the second speed is 60 mph, your formula will look like this: s=40+602{\displaystyle s={\frac {40+60}{2}}}. Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. For example:s=40+602{\displaystyle s={\frac {40+60}{2}}}s=1002{\displaystyle s={\frac {100}{2}}}s=50{\displaystyle s=50}So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

Use this method to avoid killing non-target animals such as dogs. You will need a cage trap or live trap to capture the mink. Unlike the locations in the other sets, you want to find a spot where the mink will not drown. Look for mink signs in the area. Place the trap away from open areas. This will prevent theft, vandalism, and distress to the animal. Make sure the hole is dark and deep. Mink are curious creatures and will be attracted to the hole. Make sure the hole is big enough to hold the cage. Alternatively, you can place the cage in a pre-existing den or hole. If you are trapping the mink near your house, then place the cage in a dark area such as under. Press the cage deep into the ground or partially bury it to provide stability. Consider placing an anchor (such as a rock) inside of the cage so that it will not tip or misfire when the mink enters. You can also use stakes or pegs to secure the trap to the ground Cover the cage with surrounding vegetation and debris (such as branches and leaves) to make it appear like a den. Place soil, leaves, branches, and other material on the cage’s base to hide the treadle. Wrap the cage in something dark, like a blanket, if you can. Trip it several times to make sure it is functioning. Use a pen or pencil, stick the end through the side of the cage, and push down on the treadles to trip the cage. If you need the doors to close faster, use small stones or weights on top of the door. Use fresh fish or a dead muskrat. Place it at the back of the cage. You can also use fish oil or raccoon glands as a lure. Minks are nocturnal creatures, so the best time to check for their capture is in the morning. Check the cage daily. This helps to prevent people from discovering the trap. It will also keep the mink out of the light and heat during the day.

Use very sturdy cardboard for this tray. You can also use several thick sheets of cardboard for a stronger base. Cover the portion of the bottle above the support with aluminum foil. You want the kind that sprays with a foam and hardens. You may want to try Great Stuff Insulating Foam Sealant. Once your basic shape is formed, allow it to dry.  Place a small piece of paper atop it. Drop 4 Mentos into the cylinder. Quickly remove the paper that is lying flat over the top of the soda bottle. The 4 Mentos should pour into the bottle starting the explosion.   The porous surface of the Mentos causes the rapid formation of carbon dioxide. This chemical reaction produces foam.   Remove your 2 l bottle of soda from the bottom of the cardboard. Insert another bottle and do it again.

Use vocabulary that promotes your audience. Instead of using phrases like “I think that...” or “Let me tell you about...” direct your speech towards them. Say things like “You will love...” and “You’ll find...” You want your product to seem like an obvious choice, and to do so you need to strike on the reasons that is makes life easier, increases profits, saves time, saves money, et cetera. It should be a clear choice that purchasing from you will improve your client’s life significantly. If you offer too many things for sale at once, you are likely to overwhelm your client with choices. This makes it nearly impossible for them to give a simple “yes” or “no” to your pitch. Instead, focus on one item or service at a time and ask the question of how many that person is interested in purchasing. Once you’ve made a successful sale, offer up another product or service. Your audience will be more receptive having already agreed to purchasing with you, and you will have to do much less work the second time around. If you have an elaborate purchase and shipment plan, your audience may become frustrated with the amount of work involved on their part. Simplify everything as much as you can so that the brunt of the work falls on you, not your client. This is when you make an agreement with your client on either meeting again in the future or purchasing more product from you. Try setting a date for a future meeting after they agree to make a purchase with you. This way, you’ll have at least one more chance to sell to them again. To push a sale, make it seem like there is a short amount of time during which the purchase can be made. That could be because clearance is ending, the price is increasing, or there is a limited number of your product or service available for purchase.

Меняйте лексикон. Ясно укажите достоинства. Избегайте продажи "чтобы такое купить". За каждой продажей должно следовать новое предложение. Сделайте процесс покупки возможно более простым. Достигайте взаимного согласия. Создайте у клиента чувство срочности.


Use warm water and work your hair into a healthy lather. Washing it every few days will remove all the dirt off, leaving it soft and manageable.  Comb your hair gently before you rinse out the shampoo. Do not use a brush while your hair is wet, but use one after you've rinsed the shampoo away. Rinse the shampoo off once you have combed your hair. Avoid washing your hair with scalding hot water. Scalding water steals away the natural moisturizing oils from the hair. Use warm to cold water instead. You can find one at most hardware stores and home-and-garden stores. It will filter out the chlorine and various minerals from the water, resulting in healthier hair and skin.

TL;DR in Russian:

Мойте голову шампунем. Приобретите фильтр для душевой лейки.


Use warm water to rinse out all traces of soap. If any shampoo remains in your dog's coat while you blow dry it, the soap can cause dryness and skin irritation.  Make sure that the water is warm, not hot. Since poodle hair is so dense, it can take a long time for water to thoroughly saturate it. It is crucial that you do not rush the process and patiently make sure that all traces of shampoo are out of the coat before proceeding further. Avoid spraying the poodle's eyes with water and do not let any of the suds get into the dog's eyes, either. You may wish to protect the poodle's eyes by applying a thin coat of petroleum jelly or mineral oil around the outer perimeter of the eye. You may have to “knead” the poodle's coat as you rinse it to make sure that all traces of shampoo are scrubbed out. After washing your poodle with water and dog shampoo, consider applying a dog conditioner to the coat. The conditioner will improve the health of your dog's coat and will make the blow drying process easier.  Follow the instructions on the dog conditioner regarding proper application. Some conditioners should be left in, while others will need to be rinsed out. You could also opt for a detangler spray instead of a conditioner. Detangler will not offer the same overall health benefits for the poodle's coat, but it will still make combing and drying the coat easier. Gently brush your dog's wet coat with a slicker brush to remove any knots that developed during bath time.  A slicker brush is a special type of brush that has thin metal wire tines poking up from a foam or rubber base. The design of the brush makes it easier to remove tangles and dead clumps of loose hair. Note that you could also use a large plastic comb during this stage. The comb will help you remove large knots but may not remove as many fine tangles as a slicker brush would.

TL;DR in Russian:

Тщательно ополосните собаку. Теперь о кондиционере. Расчешите и распутайте все узлы.


Use water-based (urethane) polish on floors with a polyurethane finish. For other finishes, use a wax-based polish.Squirt the solution onto the floor and wipe the floors with a microfiber cloth. You can do this by hand or attach the cloth to your mop.” Follow the directions exactly to avoid damaging your floors. Check to see if you have to sand and wax your floors before you polish them. Follow all recommended safety guidelines on the label. Even if you know what kind of finish your floor has, you should test the polish to make sure it won’t discolor the wood. Locate an area under a large piece of furniture or in a closet. Apply the polish. Wipe it with a microfiber cloth. If no damage appears, you can polish the entire floor. If you see discoloration, seek advice from a professional contractor. Depending on the directions, either spray the polish directly to the floor or apply it to a cloth first. Use a “feathering” technique (wiping the polish in a semi-circle). Overlap your feathering strokes for a streak-free finish. Cover 3 by 3 feet (0.91 by 0.91 m) sections at a time. Move gradually across the width of the room to the next corner. Continue along the length of the room to the third corner. Polish to the last corner. Begin to move inward to polish the center of the room. Polish the area by the doorway last to avoid ruining your hard work. If your floor has been waxed, apply 2-3 thin layers of polish instead of one thick layer. Wait for each coat to dry completely (about 24 hours) before applying the next one. Your floor will feel tacky or sticky until it’s completely dry. For good measure, wait six to 24 hours before walking on the floor with socks. Don’t wear shoes for at least 24 hours. You can replace your furniture after 2 days.  Block off the area with painter’s tape or a chair for at least 6 hours. If you have companion animals, keep them away from the polished area for at least 24 hours. You could also fit them with “doggie socks” after 6 hours.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите подходящую полироль. Прочитайте инструкцию по применению полироли. Протестируйте полироль на незаметном участке пола. Обработайте пол полиролью. Работайте от самого дальнего угла комнаты по направлению к двери. Дайте полироли высохнуть.


Use waterproof silicone caulk or sealant to fill in cracks or holes. Windows or doors are popular entry points for ants.  This will make it more difficult for ants to find a way inside. Try to seal as many holes or cracks as possible. You may not be able to get every single spot, but this will help with overall ant prevention. The ants will be attracted to the bait, then get stuck and die. Baits come in either gels, granules, or stations. Most baits also come in two forms: sugar-based or protein/grease-based. You can use any type of bait, though it is recommended to use one that has both sugar and protein bases. Use insecticide around where the ants are entering your house to deter them from coming back. Keep about 4 inches (10 cm) between your spray and the surface you are spraying. This will prevent more ants from coming inside.  You want to spray enough to wet the surface, but not soak it. Use an insecticide that contains bifenthrin, permethrin, or deltamethrin. For more serious ant issues, you can also spray around the perimeter of your house. Exterminators can help assess the problem and catalogue the extent of the damage. For severe carpenter ant infestations, an exterminator is your best bet to help remove the repeat infestations and apply insecticide as needed.  Call a few exterminators to compare prices and make sure you're getting the best deal possible. You might have carpenter ants if you have any damaged or wet wood in the house.

TL;DR in Russian:

Заделайте любые трещины, через которые муравьи могут проникнуть в дом. Расставьте в доме приманки для муравьев. Распылите инсектицид возле точек проникновения, чтобы отпугнуть муравьев. Обратитесь за помощью дезинсектора, особенно если в дом могли проникнуть муравьи-древоточцы.


Use wedge-shaped pillows to prop your head or back while sitting or reclining or to support your back or belly while lying on your side. You can even use wedge-shaped pillows to prop a hot water bottle up against your back.  Wedge-shaped pillows are convenient because they are small and easily portable. However, because they are small, you will still need to use a regular pillow for your head. Choose from a crescent-shaped or triangular-shaped wedge pillow, whichever is your preference. The different shapes do not provide different benefits. Use a U-shaped pillow to support your whole body from your head and neck to your back, belly, knees, and ankles. This pillow is great for women who are used to sleeping on their back. It is also convenient for women who toss and turn during the night since you do not need to readjust the pillow. The U-shaped pillow is typically the most expensive pregnancy pillow. It is also the biggest pregnancy pillow. So if you have a small bed, look into getting a smaller pillow. C-shaped pillows are smaller than the U-shaped ones, so they are great if you have a mid-sized bed. These pillows provide support for your head, neck, back, and pelvic area. They are great for relieving pelvic tension and reducing water retention in your legs and ankles.  The only drawback is that you will need to adjust the pillow throughout the night as you switch sides. This pillow shape is also recommended for plus-size women since its asymmetrical shape allows you to shape the pillow in a variety of ways. The J-shaped pillow is similar to the U-shaped pillow, only smaller and without the extra side. So if you have a mid-sized bed, look into this pillow. This pillow is great for head, neck, and back support. Also known as I-shaped pillows, these pillows are straight and run along the length of your body. They look like regular pillows, only longer. You can wrap your arms and legs around them. However, they do not provide much back support. Flexible versions of the full-length pillow are available as well....

TL;DR in Russian:

Остановите выбор на клиновидной подушке. Попробуйте использовать U-образную подушку. Остановите выбор на C-образной подушке. Выберите J-образную подушку. Попробуйте использовать длинную прямую подушку.


Use whatever tool feels most comfortable to you. A shovel might be your best bet for removing large sections of bark quickly. Or you can use an axe or an adz to chip away the bark which should easily break off. Bark scraps make good kindling for fires. Keep them if you plan on camping or making fires. Using a pencil, draw along the sides just how your want your ends to taper. On the top of your log draw where the ends taper and mark where the center of the boat will be. The center outline will look a bit like an oval. If you suspect it could rain and wash away your outline, consider lightly chiseling in your outline, using a small chisel and hammer. Make perpendicular cuts across the length of the log. You'll then use a chainsaw, adz, or axe to split out all the sections between the cuts. You'll want to have help and some rope to carefully roll the flat bottom onto the ground. You should now see a rounded part at the top. Again, make perpendicular cuts across the length of the log and then split out all the sections between the cuts. Don't go too deep, since you'll be cutting into the sides of your canoe. You can use either a chainsaw to crudely remove large chunks of wood, or you can use an axe or ads to chop away as much wood as you lik. Usually, the ends are tapered into points. This allows your canoe to move in either direction. Look to your outline and leave at least 5/8" to 1" on the sides. Be careful to stop at least 2" to 3" from the bottom of the log. This will prevent you from accidentally cutting holes into your canoe. While it might seem like you're cutting out too much wood, you need to in order to reduce the weight of your canoe. Removing the bulk of the wood will help its buoyancy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Снимите кору. На бревне нарисуйте схему. Сделайте плоское дно для каноэ. Переверните бревно. Сделайте плоский верх для своего каноэ. Вырежьте передний и задний концы. Вырежьте центральную часть.


Use whichever brand of vanilla ice cream you prefer the most. Pour the milk into a measuring cup so that you use the correct amount. Then, pour the milk over the ice cream. If you don't have a scooper, use a large spoon instead. Measure the Amarula with a jigger or shot glass. Then, pour each shot into the blender and turn the blender on high. Keep blending the drink until the ice cream is fully incorporated with the ice and the drink is smooth. If you want to add even more sweetness to the shake, spray some whipped cream or squeeze some chocolate syrup on top of the drink. Keep in mind that the ice cream and Amarula are already sweet, so adding more sugar will cause it to become even sweeter. Enjoy the drink while it's still cold.

TL;DR in Russian:

Добавьте в блендер 3–4 шарика ванильного мороженого и 240 мл молока. Налейте 1–2 рюмки Амарулы в напиток и перемешайте. Перелейте напиток в стакан и украсьте его.


Use wire cutters to cut a long piece of sturdy wire to the length and height you want the arch to be. You can also purchase a balloon arch kit from the store, and use the wire frame from there. Because wire gets flimsier the longer you cut it, this method is best used for smaller arches. Stick the ends of the arch into a bucket filled with gravel, pebbles, or sand. If you bought a pre-made arch from the store, it may already have a flat, base or platform. In this case, place something heavy, such as a brick or cinderblock on the base to weigh it down.  Add a thin layer of colored sand or pebbles to your bucket. This will hide the plain sand or pebbles. Wrap bricks or cinderblocks in paper that matches your balloons. You can also paint them to match the base of your balloon arch. They can all be the same color, or they can be different ones. Tie the tail end of each balloon into a knot as soon as you finish blowing it up. Try to make each balloon the same size.  Use a regular pump for this method, not a helium tank. You don't have to use a balloon pump for this, but your lungs may get tired after a while. If you are having trouble with this, you can tie the balloons together using string instead. Repeat this step for the remaining two balloons. You should now have two balloon pairs. Place your first set of balloons over the second one in a cross shape. Pull the bottom two balloons upward. Pull the left one to the right, and the right one to the left. You will have something that looks like a four-leaf clover. Alternatively, you can tie the balloons together in a cross shape with some string. Pull the balloon clover against the wire. Make sure that the wire is resting against the knot in the middle of the clover. Twist the two adjacent balloons together so that they close in front of the wire. You can also secure the balloons to the wire with string or colorful ribbon. Blow four balloons at a time. Twist them into sets, then twist the sets together to make a clover. Slide the clover onto the wire, just above...

Use word of mouth to get cell phone numbers. For example, if you need to find Dave, but don't know his phone number, ask mutual friends if they will get a message to Dave and say that you'd like to contact him. If they don't know where Dave is, either, broaden the search to check with coworkers and family. Be sure to be honest with these contacts regarding your reason behind obtaining the number to ensure the best results for all parties involved.

Use your Photos app on your phone to open the image that you want to send. This looks different depending on the phone and version that you are using. There are several options to choose from, depending on the apps you have installed on your phone.  Email - This sends the photo as an attachment on an email message. Messaging - This sends the photo as an attachment to a text message (MMS), or through your iMessage (if both you and the recipient have Apple iPhones). App-specific options - There will be a variety of other options listed based on what you have installed, including Facebook, Hangouts, WhatsApp, and more. Pick the option that best matches the needs of you and your recipient. Depending on the method you chose, you'll need to finalize the message that will go along with the image. The message may take a few moments to send if you're sending multiple images.

Use your blueprint as a guide for what tools are needed. Consult your local hardware store in case they have better alternatives. For example, certain types of wood may provide a better surface for skateboarding but may not hold up well to the autumn rain.  Purchase screws and wood at any hardware store. Ensuring the length and type are best suited for your measurements and plans. Consider renting, borrowing, or using your own power tools to reduce time. For example, a power drill with assorted bits would be helpful but not necessary if you just want to use a regular screwdriver. Likewise, a jigsaw would also reduce time if you are cutting any wood down. If you choose steel plating in conjunction with wood or instead of it, you’ll need to find a local steel fabricator or scrap metal centre in your area. This may be difficult to find in your area, so start your design and customization around what steel is available to you. Stick to a budget especially if this is your first build. A beginner ramp commonly costs approximately $200 to build after all building materials are purchased but this can easily sky rocket if you factor in power tools, customization, or top-of-the-line materials. While some stores will cut it for you, be prepared to shape your wood to your specifications yourself. Getting a professional will save you time and the hassle of working with power tools so weigh that possibility into your overall budget to help manage your expectations. Use pressure treated wood. This material is chemically treated for protection against the growth of mould and is fairly waterproof. Consult the retailer for all possible alternatives. Pressure treated wood comes in two colors: a copper green-ish tinge and a natural tone. The only difference is the preservative so choose whatever looks best to you. Before cutting or shaping anything, remember the old adage.  If you’re unsure, do a faux set-up by drawing it out because it’s better to make the mistake on paper rather than ruin your project and start over. Don’t be...

Составьте список того, что вам потребуется. Подготовьте древесину. Следуйте пословице “семь раз отмерь, один раз отрежь”. Соблюдайте правила безопасности. Обработайте древесину, чтобы продлить срок службы рампы.


Use your body and your mind to do positive things, instead of mope. If you're feeling depressed and obsessing over a guy, try to work on yourself instead. Exercising helps to expel energy and boost your mood by releasing feel-good endorphins in your brain. Get moving if you want to feel better. Make your own exercise routine. Find a cardio workout by picking 5-10 exercises that you can repeat three times each, about a minute for each exercise. Do this three times a week at home. Spend some extra hours at work, or at school, doing what you need to do. If you're on a sports team, devote extra energy to planning events or extra workouts with your teammates. Put yourself deep into some project to help yourself focus on other things.  The best revenge is living well. If your ex sees how productive, busy, and happy you are? That's the best way to stick it to him. Show him what he lost. On the other hand, it can also be good to take some time off, if you need to. Call in sick, if you're really feeling unproductive and crappy. Take the time you need. Use your newfound single-status as an excuse to do other new things. If you've always wanted to write a book, but never had the time because of your relationship responsibilities, you've got no excuse now. Pick a new hobby to throw yourself into and distract yourself from the way you're feeling.  Start reading more. Getting lost in a good book can be a great way of forgetting about your troubles. Do something creative. Painting, drawing, or other art projects are a great way to get busy. Pick a daily-baking project, and try to cook something new each day. Channel your frustration energy into fun projects in the kitchen. Every break up is a mixed bag. On the one hand, you're alone. And it usually sucks. On the other hand, you're alone. That means, you can do whatever you want, without worrying about how your ex will react. There's nobody to hold you back anymore. Do what you feel.  If you feel like blasting Katy Perry at 7 am and eating Fruit Loops in your ugly pajamas,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Отвлекайтесь, занимаясь спортом. Загрузите себя на работе. Попробуйте новое хобби или занятие. Отпразднуйте свою свободу.


Use your break to catch up on all those things that you could not find time for during school. Use your time to catch up on laundry, or cleaning your room. You don't want to waste precious time every day looking for some clean clothes to wear, or trying to find your phone or keys in a messy room. It may not be the most fun you'll have all summer, but getting it out of the way first can make for a great start. Think big. List all the things you have been wishing you had the opportunity to try, then spend your holiday making them happen. Having a list handy will provide you with lots of ideas. You won't waste your summer days sitting around trying to think of something to do. Just find something on your list to check off. Keep the people that matter to you in mind. You don’t want to keep yourself so busy that you have no time to catch up with them. Set aside time that is just for being with family or friends and make the most of it. With work, family and friends, keeping track of your summer activities can be overwhelming. Make a calendar so you can fill your days with fun without overdoing it. Summer is a good time to earn extra money. The biggest mistake students make is spending it all on their holiday and going back to school broke. Be sure to limit your activities to what you can afford so you head back to school in good financial shape. You don't want to begin the new school year while you are stressed out about money.

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте список необходимых дел. Составьте список дел, которые вы давно хотите сделать. Уделяйте время друзьям и родным. Составьте календарный план. Контролируйте траты.


Use your brush to clean the bottom and sides of the pool again, then vacuum up all the dead algae. If there are a lot of dead particles and you're having trouble vacuuming them, you can add a flocculent to help the algae bind together and make it easier to vacuum. Your swimming pool water should be crystal clear after treatment. If the algae seems to be coming back, go through the shocking and treating process again until it's all cleared away. All chemical levels should be in the normal range.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пропылесосьте мертвые водоросли, оставленные в бассейне. Пусть фильтр работает, пока водоросли не исчезнут. Еще раз проверьте химические уровни с вашим тестовым набором для бассейна.


Use your comment as an icebreaker to start the conversation. Look around and observe what is going on around you. Is there anything funny or interesting that you notice? For example, if it is lunch and the food truck hasn’t arrived yet, you can say “Are they going to get us water for this wait, or do they want us to die?” If you are going to remark on something simple, try to make it playful. Even if you don’t think of yourself as a funny person, you can still be playful. And playfulness is found to be very attractive to both guys and girls.  This playfulness will make the conversation fun and will help keep the mood light. Don’t worry, the first few comments you make to your crush are not going to make or break the conversation. Getting the conversation started is more important. So don’t worry too much about being smooth, and focus instead on continuing conversation. Once you have broken in with an opening line, move on into something you can talk about more. Asking for an update is a good question to ask if you do already know the person a little bit or you are taking a class together, for example. It is a good idea to acknowledge your familiarity with one another by talking about the thing you have in common. This will make the conversation less awkward, and you will also get a better understanding of what is going on with the other person in your shared thing. For example, if you are taking a class together you can say, “So how is your midterm paper coming together?” You don’t have to mention the fact that you are in a class together unless you aren’t sure that he or she knows. If you want to remind him or her, do it without making a big deal out of it. Say “So in English class, how is your midterm paper coming together?” It is not weird that you know that you share a class. If he or she doesn’t know, you mentioning the class first will tip him or her off and he or she will probably apologize for not recognizing you. Topics of conversation can go by pretty quickly, and so it can be good to have a couple...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте забавное или шутливое замечание о месте, в котором вы сейчас находитесь, или деле, которым заняты. Узнайте новости о теме, которая касается вас обоих.

Use your computer or mobile device to check into your flight as soon as the twenty-four hour window opens. This will give you a better chance of not getting bumped off the plane if a delay occurs and your flight becomes oversold, and it will also reduce your time spent in line. If you fly often, then you might consider spending a little extra for a service like TSA pre-check, which allows you to skip the long lines and use a special, shorter line at check-in. This service requires a background check and there is an $85 fee. Having travel insurance is a huge help in case of a flight delay or cancellation. Pick a package that covers what you need, such as medical, travel protection, and baggage protection. Many policies will help cover your costs of a hotel room, meals, or other various expenses. Make sure to purchase your insurance well before your trip, as any storm systems that occur before your purchase will mostly likely not be covered. Make sure you’re the first to know about any changes by signing up for instant notifications from the airport. This way, you can make arrangements quickly if a delay or cancellation does occur.  Along with signing up for official airport notifications, download a third-party app that will notify you of delays. Sometimes third-party apps actually relay information about delays faster than the official airline website, so try downloading several such as TripIt Pro or App in the Air.  If you’ve arranged for relatives or friends to pick you up from the airport, suggest these options to them so they can receive live updates on any flight schedule changes. Bring a few extra doses of prescription medication, pairs of underwear and socks, and maybe a laundry soap sheet to wash your clothes if the delay stretches on.  Always make sure to write down everything you will need for your trip before you pack. This will save you time and help to ensure that you pack all of the necessary items. It is also a good idea to look up the airport’s guidelines for how to pack certain items, such as...

TL;DR in Russian:

Use your crescent wrench to turn the metal tab back to the on position. The metal tab should now run parallel to the incoming line from the gas supplier. Once the gas is turned on, go back to the line and turn its valve on as well. If you do not turn the gas line on, then you will not be able to test for any possible leaking. Put a 50/50 mixture of dish soap and water into a spray bottle and shake it. Spray the mixture onto the gas cap. If you do not see any bubbles, then the cap is installed correctly. However, if you see bubbles appear around the cap that means the gas is leaking. Repeat the steps until there is no leak. Besides looking for bubbles, listen for gas escaping. It will sound like hissing. You may need to relight the pilot light on your water heater and on other appliances since you turned off the gas.

Use your dome brush after it has been cleaned well to blend your shadows together. You want to create a smooth graduation of color, so take a few minutes to softly fade your darkest shadow up into the middle hue. Avoid contacting the line of dark shadow near your lash line too much, as you don’t want to make that part look too faded from blending.

Use your favorite sweetener and stir it into the apple cider vinegar to make your drink taste better. Mix the drink until the sugar is completely dissolved. Replace the sweetener with 1 tbsp (21.25 g) of honey for a natural sweetener. Sprinkle 1 tsp (2.3 g) of ground cinnamon or cayenne pepper to add more antioxidants to your drink. Cinnamon and pepper will add a spicier flavor to your drink as well as help your body burn calories. Stir the spice into your drink until it’s thoroughly mixed. Put a cinnamon stick into a hot drink to steep the flavor. You can either squeeze the juice from 2 lemons or use prepackaged lemon juice. Adjust the amount of lemon juice you put in your drink depending on how sour you want it to taste. Warm up your drink and add 1 tbsp (21.25 g) of honey to help with a sore throat. Mix together 3 tablespoons (44 ml) of olive oil, 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of apple cider vinegar, 1 clove of minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon (2.8 g) of salt in a bowl. Stir the dressing together until it’s well-combined. Pour a third of the dressing onto your salad and refrigerate the rest. You can also mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of ACV into your favorite store-bought dressing. Mix 2 parts of cooking oil with 1 part apple cider vinegar in a resealable plastic bag. Stir in spices, like cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder. When the marinade is well-combined, put in your choice of meat or vegetables and let them soak up the flavors for 3-4 hours before cooking. Experiment with different flavors. If you want a saltier marinade, add in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each of Worcestershire and soy sauce. Soups and stews are filled with a variety of flavors that will mask the acidity of your apple cider vinegar. Put 1 tablespoon (15 ml) into your bowl of soup and stir it thoroughly. When you’ve finished your soup, make sure to drink the broth to get all of your ACV. Apple cider vinegar can be added to store-bought or homemade soup.

Use your file explorer to navigate to the folder containing the presentation file you’re trying to open. The basic idea behind this method is to move the file from a possibly corrupt drive onto a working one. If the presentation is already on a USB drive, you’ll be copying it to your computer’s hard drive. If the presentation file is on your computer’s hard drive, you’ll be copying it to a USB drive. This can be any location on the second storage device, as you just need to move it from one drive to the other. This will copy the file from one drive to the other. If the file doesn’t allow you to copy it, the file or the drive itself may be corrupt. After copying the file, try to run it from its new location on the second drive. If the original location was corrupt, you may be able to open it properly now. If the file opens fine from the new location, you’ll want to try to fix any disk errors in the original location.  Windows - Open your Computer/This PC window and right-click on the disk that was giving you problems. Select “Properties,” click the “Tools” tab, and then click “Check now” in the “Error-checking” section. Check both boxes and click “Start.” Mac - Open the Disk Utility program from the Utilities folder. Select the problematic disk from the left menu, then click “First Aid.” Wait for the scan to complete.

Use your fingers and feel the wax, whether at the tips or at the roots.  If the wax is soft, it is best to use the shampoo method.  However, if the wax has hardened, it will need to be melted in order to be removed. You can always get a friend or relative to check for you, whether or not the wax is hard.  Sometimes it can be hard to see/feel for yourself, and in that case get a second opinion. Try and position the paper towels exactly where the wax is.  Grab the section of waxed hair, and wrap the paper towel around it tightly.  Only do this one section at a time, otherwise the paper towels will become hard to manage and might fall out. You may want to dampen your hair, or the paper towel in order to help the paper towel stick in position. Plug the hair dryer in and turn it on to high heat.  Feel the heat with your hand to make sure that it is not too hot, which would damage your hair follicles.  Hold the paper towel in place, and run the hair dryer over the area. Make sure not to get too close to the paper towel, which might result in burning. Make several passes through the area and over the paper towel.  You should start to see/feel the candle wax melting, and soaking through the paper towel. If you have a hard time managing this step, you can always use a friend or relative to run the hair dryer for you as you hold the paper towel into place. Press on the paper towels with your fingers.  Feel the wax through the paper towels.  As you pull the paper towels off, hold onto the wax.  Do this slowly, as to pull off as much of the wax as you can get off.  Run your fingers through your hair.  Try and pull off as much of the excess, now melted, wax as you can.  If you cannot do this by yourself, get a friend or family member to do so. Determine whether this section still has wax that needs to be removed, or whether this section is now relatively clean. If you are moving on to a new section, or redoing an old section, apply new, clean paper towels.  Repeat the previous methods over and over again until the wax has...

Определите на ощупь мягкий или твердый воск. Оберните запачканные воском волосы бумажными полотенцами. Воспользуйтесь феном. Уберите полотенце. Для следующей пряди используйте новые бумажные полотенца. Намочите волосы теплой водой. Вымойте голову с шампунем и кондиционером.


Use your fingers or a soft paper towel to spread the oil over the entire inner surface of the pan, including the bottom and sides.  While Orgreenic recommends the use of vegetable oil, other oils and vegetable shortening could be used, instead. If selecting another oil, opt for one with a high smoking point, like peanut oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil, over one with a low smoking point, like olive oil. This technique can be used on all Orgreenic pans, including all stovetop pans, oven pans, and grill pans. Place the pan on the eye of your stove and turn the heat onto a medium setting. Keep the pan on the heat until you can see smoke rise from its surface.  Expect this process to take several minutes. While you might be tempted to heat the oil on high heat, you need to keep the temperature control set to medium so that the oil heats up slowly. Otherwise, the oil may not seep into the surface thoroughly enough. Every few minutes, turn the pan to redistribute any oil that has begun to puddle or bead. Remove the pan from the heat source. Set it aside and allow it to cool back down to room temperature. Leave the pan out at room temperature as it cools. Do not attempt to cool it down faster by placing it in a refrigerated space, since the dramatic change in temperature can damage the ceramic. Use a clean paper towel to wipe away any visible puddles or streaks of remaining oil. The surface of the pan will still feel a little greasy after you wipe it down, but this greasiness is natural and should not be scrubbed out. Your Orgreenic pan should be re-seasoned every six months. You can do so following this same method or by trying one of the other described methods. If food begins sticking to the surface of your pan before six months have elapsed, re-season your pan ahead of schedule.

TL;DR in Russian:

Налейте в сковороду 1 ст. Разогрейте сковородку на плите, пока она не начнет дымиться. Дайте сковороде остыть. Вытрите излишки масла. Повторяйте процедуру раз в шесть месяцев.


Use your fingers to gently bend the two middle tines or “teeth” of a white plastic fork forward until they snap at the base.  If the tines do not break off at the base, use a clean pair of sharp scissors or a clean utility knife to shave off any remaining plastic. Instead of snapping the tines off by hand, you could also remove them by directly cutting off the entire tine with a pair of scissors or utility knife. Use scissors or a clean utility knife to cut away the handle of the fork in a straight horizontal line.  You will actually end up cutting away more than just the handle. Trim the fork roughly halfway in between the handle and the base of the tines, right at the spot where the fork begins to curve. The remaining piece should be fairly boxy rather than being rounded. Make sure that the scissors or utility knife you use is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before using it since the plastic will need to go in your mouth after coming into contact with your cutting tool. Stick a small dot of braces wax or denture wax to the horizontal bridge of the remaining piece. You can buy dental wax from some drug stores, or from dentist supply stores online. Apply the wax to the portion that curves “in.” This part was originally the front of the fork. Stick the makeshift fangs onto your front teeth with the wax pointed in. Press gently to secure the wax and the plastic teeth. Make sure that the fangs are centered at the front of your mouth. You should be able to see an even amount of your two front teeth in between the fangs when done.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отломите два средних зубца на вилке. Отрежьте ручку. Смажьте зубным воском края клыков. Прикрепите клыки к верхним передним зубам.


Use your fingers to peel off the outer layer of skin from the head of garlic. Break up the individual cloves and transfer them to a large metal mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with another metal bowl of the same size. Hold the two bowls together and shake them vigorously for 10 seconds. Remove the top bowl and pick out the peeled garlic cloves. You can also use a large mason jar with a lid if you don’t have two metal mixing bowls of the same size. Transfer the peeled garlic cloves to a blender. Add 1 cup (235 ml) of the water and secure the lid on the blender. Puree the mixture until the garlic is finely chopped, about a minute. If you don’t have a blender, you can use a food processor or immersion blender. Otherwise, chop or mince the garlic with a knife or garlic press and stir it together with the water. Puree the mixture for an additional minute or so, until the garlic has been liquified. The soap will help the mixture stick to the foliage in the garden, but it also acts as a pesticide in its own right. You can use any liquid soap you like, such as dish or castile soap. Transfer the pureed mixture to a clean mason jar and screw on the lid. Leave the mixture on the counter for at least 12 hours, and up to 24. The longer the mixture steeps, the more time the garlic will have to infuse the water with pungent sulfur compounds. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and position the strainer over a bowl. Pour the mixture into the strainer to remove the chunks of garlic. Give the cheesecloth a gentle squeeze to remove as much of the liquid as possible. Straining the mixture will prevent the garlic from clogging the nozzle on your spray bottle. Insert a funnel into the mouth of a clean spray bottle. Pour the garlic liquid into the spray bottle. Remove the funnel and screw on the lid. Use as necessary to control pests and fungi in the garden. Store the mixture in the refrigerator and use within a week.

Use your fingertips or fingernails to gently rub the chin, particularly where the jawbone connects to the skull. It's possible the cat will push into your stroke or jut out her chin, both signs of enjoyment. Use the pads of your fingers and apply gentle pressure. The base of the ears is another scent-marking spot for cats. If the cat likes this, s/he may rotate his/her whiskers forward, effectively asking for more. Once the cat is warmed up, use your middle finger to stroke the cat's "mustache" (just above the upper lips) while encircling his/her whole face and stroking the top of the head with your thumb. The cat is yours. Pet the forehead, then run your hand from forehead to the base of the tail, going from head to tail repeatedly. Massage her neck muscles by pinching gently. Apply gentle pressure and make it a continuous, slow motion. Work only in one direction (forehead to tail), as some cats do not like back-to-front strokes.  Don't touch the tail or move your hand along to the side. If the cat likes what you're doing, s/he'll arch his/her back to add more pressure to your hand. When you bring your hand back to where you started, the cat may rub her forehead firmly against your hand to encourage you to do it again. If the cat puts her ears back, cowers away from your hand, or just walks away, stop petting. You can scratch gently as you bring your hand down along the cat's back, but don't stop at one spot and scratch there. Keep your hand moving. Apply a little pressure at the base of the tail, though with caution. This is another scent gland area, and there are cats that like getting scratched right here. Others, however, have a habit of suddenly snapping their teeth at your hand when they've had enough.

TL;DR in Russian:

Use your foot to push down on the lever near the rear wheels. While the lever is in its lowest position, it should prevent the wheels from moving. On some stroller models, the front wheels may also have a locking mechanism to prevent them from swiveling. First, push the stroller a few paces forward to put the wheels in the forward position. Then, look for a small lever between the front wheels. If present, it may need to be pushed up or down, depending on the model, to lock the wheels in position. Tug gently on the canopy, if opened, to pull it back into folded position. Push the seat backward to recline it as far as it will go. On some models, you may need to undo latches on the side of the seat before this is possible. Check the right and left sides of the stroller for a small handle, somewhere near the seat base or wheels. Some models simply fold when this handle is tugged in a particular direction, while others require a button in the center of the handle to be pushed and held down as you fold. You should now be able to fold the stroller together simply by pushing the back and seat together. Grip the lower handle if there is one. If necessary, tug the lower frame near the wheels to start the folding, then withdraw your hand from that area to avoid pinching your fingers in the folding frame. Finish pushing from the top handle and the seat base.

Use your hands or a spade to build the soil up into rows that are 4 inches (10 cm) high. Space the rows 16 inches (41 cm) apart. Making rows for the onions is particularly important if your soil has a high clay content.  Instead of growing the onions in rows, you can also plant them in raised beds that have been amended with compost and fertilizer. Planting sweet onions in rows or raised beds is important because it will help the water drain better, and this will produce sweeter onions. In a container, you have complete control over the soil medium, so it’s not necessary to create rows before planting. Use a spade to dig 1-inch (2.5-cm) holes in the rows. Space the holes so they're 6 inches (15 cm) apart. Place an onion set in each hole and cover the roots with soil. Don’t plant the onions more than an inch (2.5 cm) deep; otherwise, the leaves may rot and the bulbs won’t grow as large. An onion set is a small onion that was grown the previous year and dried. Mulch will help to eliminate weeds from the area and keep the soil consistently moist, which is ideal for onions. Good mulches for onions include a light layer of grass clippings or straw. When the onion bulbs start to grow, sweep the mulch away from the bulbs to keep the onions dry. The onions will need regular watering to keep the soil damp, because these plants have very shallow roots. Provide the onions with about an inch (2.5 cm) of water each week, minus whatever water they get from precipitation.  You’ll have to provide even more water if you didn’t add a top layer of mulch.  Water less if the leaves start to yellow prematurely, because this means they're getting too much. When the onions start to sprout new growth, about three weeks after planting, sprinkle a tablespoon (a half-ounce) of granular fertilizer 6 inches (15 cm) away from the stem of each plant. Use a rake to mix the fertilizer in with the soil before watering.  Side dress the onions again when the tops reach about 8 inches (20 cm).  Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer like blood meal. When...

TL;DR in Russian:

Use your hands to apply a generous amount of a thick moisturizer to your chest and neck. It's best to do this early in the day, such as after washing your face in the morning. This will help to create a luminous glow on your chest and neck. Smooth the lotion all over and rub it in until it is fully absorbed. If your chest looks darker in some spots than others, such as from an uneven suntan, you may want to even out the tone with a foundation or primer. Use a makeup brush or sponge to apply an even layer of the foundation to your chest and neck. Then, blend the makeup with the brush or sponge until it looks uniform all over your chest and neck. Make sure to choose a foundation or primer that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. Use a large, fluffy foundation brush to sweep bronzer under each of your collarbones. Don’t sweep the bronzer all the way across your chest. Sweep it under each of your collarbones separately. Then, use the brush to sweep bronzer into the grooves behind each of your collarbones. This will make them look deeper and accentuate your collarbones. You might need to blend the bronzer in around the edges of where you applied it to get a more natural look. Wipe off your makeup brush and sweep it back and forth across the bronzer to blend it in with the surrounding areas. To finish your accented collarbone look, take a highlighter stick or powder and apply a dab on the top most parts of each of your collarbones. Use your fingers or a makeup brush to apply it. This will help the collarbones catch the light and look even more prominent. Choose a highlighter that is 2 to 3 shades lighter than your skin tone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прежде чем наносить макияж, увлажните кожу в области груди, шеи и плеч. Нанесите основу под макияж или тональный крем, чтобы выровнять цвет кожи на груди. Нанесите бронзер вокруг ключиц и на ложбинки над ними. Нанесите хайлайтер на ключицы.


Use your hands to combine the crumbly mixture. Keep mixing until you have a dough that's smooth and doesn't fall apart. Avoid kneading it too much once it's formed or the gnocchi will be tough. You shouldn't need to add flour to your work surface at this point because the dough is already crumbly. Keep the dough on your work surface and use your hands to shape it into a rectangle that's about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) wide. If the dough sticks, use a sprinkling of flour to loosen it. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut across the rectangle. Avoid using a serrated knife which could tear the dough. Make 8 to 10 strips that are about 4 inches (10 cm) long. The dough should feel light and airy if you haven't over-mixed it. Move 1 of the strips to the center of your work surface and use the palms of both hands to roll it into a long rope. If you want to make thin gnocchi, roll the dough into a rope that's about 12 inches (30 cm) long. Roll out each of the strips into ropes. If you want thicker gnocchi, roll the rope about 8 inches (20 cm) long. Take your knife or bench scraper and cut across each of the ropes. Make 1 in (2.5 cm) pieces that will become the gnocchi. If the dough begins to stick, sprinkle more flour onto your work surface. Sprinkle flour evenly across a rimmed baking sheet. Place the gnocchi on the sheet and sprinkle more flour over them. Keep them on the sheet until you're ready to boil them. Boil the gnocchi within 45 minutes of cutting and putting them on the sheet. To add texture, press a piece of the dough onto the tines of a fork and roll the dough off as you press gently. For an easier shape, press your thumb into the middle of each piece of dough. If you don't want to add texture to your gnocchi, you can skip this step and begin boiling the pasta.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вымесите из смеси мягкое тесто. Руками сделайте из теста вытянутый прямоугольник. Разрежьте прямоугольник на 8–10 коротких полосок. Раскатайте каждую полоску теста в длинный жгут. Нарежьте каждый жгут на кусочки шириной около 2,5 см. Выложите ньокки на противень, присыпанный мукой. Придавите вилкой каждый ньокки, чтобы придать им уникальный вид.


Use your hands to mix about 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt and 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground black pepper into the ground beef. You can vary the amount of salt and pepper you use according to your own sense of taste. If desired, you could also add other spices and seasonings to change the flavor of the burger completely. For a quick change of pace, use 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of a pre-mixed hamburger spice blend. For standard, 1/4 lb (115 g) patties, separate the ground beef into four equal balls or portions. The exact amount can depend on the size burger you want. For instance, if you prefer super-thin, diet-friendly patties, you could divide the meat into as many as eight portions, creating 1/8 lb (60 g) patties. On the other hand, if you want giant patties, you could split the full amount into two portions, creating 1/2 lb (225 g) patties. Use an actual burger mold, a round cookie cutter, a plastic lid, or another round container that is the right shape and size. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over that mold.  The plastic wrap will prevent the patty from sticking to the sides of the hamburger press. If using an actual press, choose one that will work for the size burger you chose based on weight. If using another item, like a can lid, instead of an actual press, choose a lid that look just a little bit bigger than the size of the hamburger bun you anticipate using. Place one separated portion of ground beef into the lined mold and flatten it into the mold using your hands. Carefully remove it from the mold by lifting it out with the plastic wrap.  Make sure that the beef is compactly pressed into the mold to help the burger patty hold together more firmly. If necessary, add more meat or remove excess based on how much excess space is left in your mold. If the mold does not work for you at all, you can form each separate portion into a ball and use your hand to flatten it into the shape of a patty. It may not be perfectly round, but this will usually do the trick well enough as long as you aren't trying to impress anyone with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Перемешайте мясной фарш и специи. Разделите на порции. Затяните форму для котлет полиэтиленовой пленкой. Выложите фарш в формы. Для того, чтобы лепешки были тоньше, надавите на них. Слегка надавите в центре. Отложите котлеты до момента приготовления.


Use your hands to smooth out the dress so it as flat as possible, with the front of the dress facing up. Make sure any ruffles or details on the bottom and straps of the dress lay flat. Take a measuring tape made for garments and place one end on the top of one of the straps. Extend the measuring tape horizontally from the top of the strap to the bottom edge. Note where the bottom edge hits on the measuring tape and record the measurement. Most dresses are at least 30 inches (76 cm) in length and can be as long as 62 inches (160 cm) in length. Measuring a strapless dress must be done when you have it on. Place one end of the measuring tape at the center of your collarbone and then extend the tape down to the bottom edge of the dress to get the correct measurement. You may need a friend to help you hold the measuring tape in place.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разложите платье на полу или кухонном столе. Если у вас платье на бретельках, приложите конец измерительной ленты к верхней их части. Измерьте длину платья от самого верха до края подола. Наденьте платье и измерьте его длину от шеи, если оно без бретелек.


Use your jealousy to motivate you to become the best version of yourself. Based on the things you want in life, create action steps to help you achieve it. Set goals that you can achieve within the next five days and things to focus on for the next five years. For instance, maybe you want to get a high paying job. As a short-term goal, try to get A's in all your classes for the semester. A long-term goal could be finding a mentor or getting an internship in your field. Maybe you’re jealous because it seems like everyone else is having all the fun. Create some fun for you! Plan a fun weekend away for you and your bae, go to a theme park, or go hang out on the beach. Do whatever makes you happy! You’ll be a lot less worried about others if you’re focused on your own health. Build your confidence up by exercising at least three times a week. Eat a healthy meal by having veggies, fruits and lean meat. Be sure to get at least eight hours of sleep per night. Drink a lot of water, too! Maybe your jealousy comes from hanging around friends who try to make you jealous on purpose. That’s definitely not cool. Instead of being around that negativity, spend more time with your kind-hearted, honest, and down-to-earth friends! A positive person will be supportive, honest, kind and helpful. A negative person will insult, criticize, and drain you. If your jealousy is making it hard for you to enjoy life anymore, it might be time to seek outside help. There are many therapists who are trained to help their clients work through feelings of envy or inadequacy. Remember, there’s nothing wrong with getting help! It’s much worse to suffer in silence. Search online for therapists or counselors in your area. You can also get a referral from your doctor’s office or insurance provider.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте себе краткосрочные и долгосрочные цели. Запланируйте себе веселые развлечения. Заботьтесь о своем здоровье. Окружайте себя позитивными людьми. Подумайте о том, чтобы обратиться к психологу, который поможет вам справиться с ревностью.


Use your leisure time as a period of reflection. Look back on the goals you have set, decide if you are advancing as you’d like, and determine if you need to revise or develop new goals. For instance, if you set a goal last month to “Save $250,” you might check your savings to see how well you are advancing towards this goal. If you are progressing as expected, move on to the next goal. However, if you have fallen behind, you may choose to lower the goal (to say, “$150”) or figure out a strategy to help you stay on track like getting a side job. Free time outside of work, school, or family responsibilities can be spent productively when you use those chunks of time to learn new things. New skills can help you get ahead at work, or simply challenge you creatively.  Make a list of a few new skills you’d like to obtain. These may include tasks like learning a new language, enhancing your understanding of computers, or learning to ride a horse. For a balanced life, choose some skills that relate to your personal or professional development, and some hobbies that you want to pick up purely out of curiosity. Your to-do list may be bogged down with extremely overwhelming tasks that you keep pushing to the next day or next week. Such tasks cause frustration and rarely get done until the last minute. Ensure that you actually complete the outstanding tasks on your to-do list by de-cluttering it.  Write down your most important to-dos for the following week on a sheet of paper. Then, decide if this task requires one or several steps. Rather than writing “complete History essay,” individual action steps like “find resources for history paper,” “create outline,” and “write first draft.” One-step to-do lists are much more likely to have check marks at the end of the day. If you’re in need of extra cash, you can spend your leisure time from work or school doing a side job or finding creative ways to make money. Get a second job that you can do on evenings or weekends. Monetize your passion for jewelry making by setting up...

Use your measurements to purchase enough fabric to create the cover. Use a pencil to outline your sofa on large sheets of paper. Use a separate piece of paper for each section, including arms, seat area, and backrest. These will serve as your patterns for the cover. Leave a .8-inch (2-cm) border around the seat pattern, and a 2-inch (5-cm) seam around the patterns of the arms and backrest, which are curved and will need a little extra room. Once you have all the sections, lay them out on your couch to ensure they will fit properly together. Sew or pin the sections together along the inside of the pattern or the sides of the material that will face the couch. Smooth out any wrinkles or seams.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сходите в магазины тканей, чтобы найти материал. Сделайте шаблон, по которому вы будете кроить ткань. Вырежьте все элементы и приложите их к ткани. Карандашом перенесите контуры шаблонов на ткань. Разрежьте ткань портновскими ножницами. Отложите детали. Наденьте новенький чехол на диван.


Use your measuring cup to pour 4 pancakes on your skillet, using 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) with every pour. Wait 3-4 seconds after pouring each individual pancake to determine where one will stop and another will start. Leave a little space between each pancake. Your pancakes should be roughly 4–6 in (10–15 cm) in diameter.

TL;DR in Russian:

Налейте на сковороду тесто на 4 панкейка, оставляя между ними около 2,5–5 см.


Use your measuring material on your own neck or the neck of another man to measure the circumference at the base of the neck.  The measurement should be taken about an inch below the Adam’s Apple.  Place a finger underneath your measuring material to accommodate extra room and comfort for a fitted shirt collar. Measure around your own chest or another man’s chest by wrapping your measuring material around the back over the shoulder blades, under the armpits, and across the fullest part of the chest.  The chest should not be flexed or sunken in but rather comfortable and relaxed, with the measuring material held snugly against the skin while exhaling. Sport coat or suit jacket measurements will also include a letter after the chest size number. A Regular (R) typically fits men 5’7” to 6’, while a Long (L) fits 6’1” to 6’3”. Measure the length from the shoulder joint to the wrist bone to find the right length for a shirt or jacket sleeve.  For a shirt measurement, bend the elbow to accommodate for movement. For a jacket measurement, measure from the outside edge of the shoulder down a straight arm to where you want a jacket sleeve to end. Take a waist measurement by holding your measuring material around your or another man’s torso, just above the bellybutton.  Make sure that you are in a relaxed posture and breathing out, not flexing or sucking in the abdomen when taking this measurement, or you are instructing the man you are measuring to do so. Note that you may want to take a measurement at the hip, closer to where a waistband would come to, if you are measuring for trousers. Measure from crotch to ankle along the inside of one leg to find the inseam on yourself or another man.  If you cannot receive help taking this measurement on yourself, find the length on a pair of pants that fit you very well. Typical men’s pants sizes list two numbers: the first is the waist measurement and the second is the inseam. Find any other measurements that a sizing chart or clothing pattern calls for using your measuring...

TL;DR in Russian:

Измерьте обхват шеи. Определите обхват груди. Измерьте длину рукава. Определите обхват талии. Измерьте длину шагового шва. Снимите любые дополнительные мерки, которые вам необходимы.


Use your patient’s belly button as the center and divide your listening around the belly button into four sections. Listen to the upper left, upper right, lower left and right. Normal bowel sounds sound like when your stomach growls or grumbles. Anything else may suggest that something is wrong and that the patient requires further evaluation. You should hear “growling” in all four sections. Sometimes after surgery, bowel sounds will take a while to return. Most of the sounds that you hear when listening to your patient’s bowels are just the sounds of digestion. Although most bowel sounds are normal, some abnormalities could point to a problem. If you are unsure if the bowel sounds you hear are normal and/or the patient has other symptoms, then the patient should see a doctor for further evaluation.  If you do not hear any bowel sounds, that may mean that something is blocked in the patient’s stomach. It can also indicate constipation and bowel sounds may return on their own. But if they do not return, then there may be a blockage. In this case, the patient would need further evaluation by a doctor.   If the patient has hyperactive bowel sounds followed by a lack of bowel sounds, that could indicate that there has been a rupture or necrosis of the bowel tissue.  If the patient has very high-pitched bowel sounds, this may indicate that there is an obstruction in the patient’s bowels.  Slow bowel sounds may be caused by prescription drugs, spinal anesthesia, infection, trauma, abdominal surgery, or overexpansion of the bowel.  Fast or hyperactive bowel sounds can be caused by Crohn’s disease, a gastrointestinal bleed, food allergies, diarrhea, infection, and ulcerative colitis.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поместите диафрагму на голом животе вашего пациента. Выслушивание нормальных брюшных звуков. Выслушивание ненормальных брюшных звуков.


Use your preferred brand of pre-spot treatment, saturating the stain on the front and the back of the fabric. Different types of fabric can handle different temperatures at water.

Use your preferred image editor, and create a button that matches the style of your website. You can make the button as small or as large as you would like. If you want to offer a file to download, you will either need to host it on your own server or point the button to the file somewhere else on the web. Use an FTP client to upload the file that you want to make available to your website’s server. Upload the button image to the same location on the server as the page that you are putting it in. A download button represented by an image works the same way that all other links work in HTML. Copy the following code into your preferred editor: Place the code where you want your button to appear. Upload the new code, and then load the webpage to ensure that the button works. Check that the hover text loads and that the picture is the right size.
