A standard size dog food can or a soup can are perfect.  Remove the paper label, the can lid, and wash it clean with warm water.  Dry before proceeding to the next step. They need to be long enough to wind around the can.  Try not to touch the sticky ends, or get them dirty, otherwise the trap will not work. Press the duck tape tightly against the can with your hands.  Give the duck tape a gentle rub in order to transfer the stickiness. The surface of the can will now be sticky.  Gently touch the can to see how sticky it is.  If it is not very sticky, repeat with new lengths of duct tape. Put the lid over the base of the flashlight.  This will create a base for the flytrap.  It is best if you can find a UV flashlight, as flies are mostly attracted to UV light. Sit the can upright so that all the stickiness is available to catch flies.  Switch on the flashlight and place it into the can.  Make sure that the flashlight is upright, and has new batteries in it. They'll be attracted to the light but get stuck on the sticky sides of the can. If you have successfully caught flies with the can, it is best to throw it away.  Make sure to use a pair of gloves when you contact the can, so you do not have to touch the flies.  It might be best to have a plastic grocery store bag ready to place the can in, before you throw it away in the trash.

A steam cleaner is a cleaning machine that uses steam to clean tile floors and other flat surfaces.  Generally, steam cleaners work the same way that vacuum cleaners do – simply turn the machine on and push it along the surface of your bathroom tile.  You'll probably have to fill the steam cleaner with water before using it. Consult manufacturer directions before using your steam cleaner. You may be able to rent a steam cleaner at your local hardware or home goods store.

TL;DR in Russian:

A stick of gum after a meal encourages the production of saliva in the mouth, which fights bad breath. Look for gum with natural essential oils. Spearmint, peppermint and cinnamon oils have been shown to tackle foul-smelling bacteria in the mouth. This might be tough to do, but chewing coffee beans and then spitting them out has been known to temper garlic breath. Rubbing coffee beans on your hands (and then washing them) can also help to remove the smell of onion and garlic from your skin. If other remedies for onion and garlic breath don't seem to work, cutting down on your use of them in meals will prevent bad breath. If you eat garlic for its potential health benefits, you may want to substitute an odorless garlic supplement for raw garlic. Be aware that supplements come in many forms, range significantly in quality, and research into their health benefits and side-effects is ongoing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пожуйте жвачку. Пожуйте кофейные зерна. Уменьшите потребление чеснока и лука.


A sticker will wear over time, peeling back and leaving sticky residue. But, if you want a low cost color change, this is the best way to do it. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of companies who provide sticker decals for your iPhone. Skins can range from $5 to $50, depending upon the look and the quality. Use a computer-safe spray and/or microfiber cloth. A clean surface will provide better adhesion. Placing it on the right area the first time is the best way to ensure it will stay put for a long time. Ask someone to do it for you, if you do not believe you can apply it well.

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, готовы ли вы наклеить обложку на свой iPhone. Поищите информацию о разных компаниях, продающих эти обложки, в интернете. Закажите обложку на свой вкус. Сначала вымойте свой iPhone. Прежде чем отклеить старую наклейку с телефона, поэкспериментируйте с различными местами для новой. Твердой рукой наклейте обложку.


A stone with a rough or sandy texture should not be identified as a gemstone. A stone that is readily malleable—i.e. easy to shape by hammering, crushing, or bending it—the stone is more likely a metallic ore than an actual gemstone.  True gemstones have a crystalline structure. This structure can be shaped through cutting, fracturing, and abrasion, but it has fixed planes that cannot be altered by pressure alone.  Don't hit a stone with a hammer if you don't want to shatter it. Real gemstones don't get bend or reshaped, but they do break. In particular, pearls and fossilized wood can be mistakenly classified as gemstones but do not fit the qualifications in the strictest sense of the term. Synthetic stones share the same structure, chemical composition, and physical properties of their natural counterparts, but they are created in a lab rather than made naturally. You can usually spot a synthetic by observing several characteristics.  Synthetic stones often have curved growth patterns inside the stone rather than angular growth patterns.  Gas bubbles are that are round and come in large strings are often an indication, but be careful, since a gas bubble in an inclusion can occur within natural stones. Platinum or gold platelets can stick to synthetic stones. Fingerprint-patterned inclusions are common in synthetics, as are nail-shaped inclusions, chevron (v-shaped) growth patterns, wispy veil-like inclusions, and interior columnar structures. An imitation stone is a material that looks like a real gemstone upon first glance in spite of the fact that it is made of a completely different material. These stones can be natural or artificial, but there are a few good techniques used to spot them either way. Pay a special attention while checking Turquoise, Lapis, Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald because there are many treatments available in market which make the stones same like natural  The surface of an imitation may look pitted and uneven, like an orange peel. Some imitations have swirl marks known as "flow lines."...

TL;DR in Russian:

Осмотрите поверхность камня. Проверьте, поддается ли камень деформированию. Некоторые материалы напоминают драгоценные камни, не являясь ими на самом деле. Определите, не является ли камень искусственным. Остерегайтесь подделок. Определите, не является ли ваш драгоценный камень составным.


A strained muscle occurs when individual muscle fibers are taken beyond their limits and tear, which leads to pain, inflammation and some degree of guarding (muscle spasm in attempts to prevent further damage). A deep tissue massage is helpful for mild-to-moderate strains because it reduces muscle spasm, combats inflammation and promotes relaxation. Start with a 30 minute massage, focusing on your shoulder, lower neck and mid back areas. Allow the therapist to go as deep as you can tolerate without wincing.  Always drink lots of water immediately following a massage in order to flush out inflammatory by-products and lactic acid from your body. Failure to do so might cause a headache or mild nausea. Your therapist may do trigger point therapy that focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your shoulder after injuries or overuse. Acupuncture is an ancient art and involves sticking very thin needles into specific energy points within the skin / muscle in efforts to reduce pain and inflammation. Acupuncture for shoulder pain (caused by an injury or arthritis) can be effective, especially if it's done when the symptoms first occur. Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by releasing a variety of substances including endorphins and serotonin, which act to reduce pain.  Acupuncture is practiced by a variety of health professionals including some physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists and massage therapists — whoever you choose should be certified by NCCAOM. Acupuncture points that may provide relief to your shoulder pain are not all located near where you feel the pain — some can be in distant areas of the body. Chiropractors are joint specialists who focus on establishing normal motion and function of the spine and peripheral joints such as the shoulder. Shoulder pain is not only caused by the underlying glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joints, but also from joint issues in the neck and mid back. Your chiropractor is trained to diagnose joint...

A strained muscle occurs when individual muscle fibers are taken beyond their tensile limits and subsequently tear, which leads to pain, inflammation and some degree of guarding (muscle spasm in attempts to prevent further damage). A deep tissue massage is helpful for mild-to-moderate strains because it reduces muscle spasm, combats inflammation, and promotes relaxation. Start with a 30 minute massage, focusing on your upper back and lower neck areas. Allow the therapist to go as deep as you can tolerate without wincing.  Always drink lots of water immediately following a massage in order to flush out inflammatory by-products, lactic acid, and toxins from your body. Failure to do so might cause a headache or mild nausea. As an alternative to professional massage therapy, position a tennis ball underneath your body and between your shoulder blades (or wherever your upper back pain is). Roll on the ball slowly for 10 – 15 minutes a few times daily until the pain subsides. Chiropractors and osteopaths are spinal specialists that focus on establishing normal motion and function of the small spinal joints that connect the vertebrae, called spinal facet joints. Manual joint manipulation, also called an adjustment, can be used to unjam or reposition facet joints that are slightly misaligned, which triggers inflammation and sharp pain, particularly with movement. You can often hear a "popping" sound with a spinal adjustment. Traction techniques or stretching of your spine may also help your upper back pain.  Although a single spinal adjustment can sometimes completely relieve your back issue, more than likely it will take three to five treatments to notice significant results. Chiropractors and osteopaths also use a variety of therapies tailored more towards muscle strains, which may be more appropriate for your upper back issue. A chiropractor or osteopath may help with improving mobility in the joints. If your upper back problem is recurring (chronic) and caused by weak spinal muscles, poor posture or degenerative...

Обратитесь к массажисту-физиотерапевту. Обратитесь к мануальному терапевту или остеопату. Прибегните к физиотерапии. Попробуйте акупунктуру (иглоукалывание). Проконсультируйтесь с психотерапевтом.


A stress-free lifestyle makes you feel more in control of your life and your actions. When you're stressed or depressed, you're much more likely to feel like you're acting on autopilot. Most misbehavior comes from that loss of self-control. You should use relaxation techniques regularly and whenever you feel like you're losing control of a situation.  Learn yoga. Yoga is a great way to reduce stress and promote a healthier mindset. Start your day with yoga, and do yoga when you start to feel yourself losing control. Meditate. Meditation has long been an effective and easy way to relax. Practice breathing through your nose. Focus on your breath and feel the world slip away. You can do this any time. Take plenty of breaks throughout the day. Relaxation is key to maintaining self-control. If you're working all day, your mind won't have time to settle. Give yourself alone time or do an activity you enjoy. Learn your strengths and weaknesses. Specifically, learn when you are most likely to misbehave. Use that information to stop your misbehavior before it happens. Don't let yourself into situations where you misbehave, or find ways to stop your misbehavior. The more you know about yourself, the better equipped you are to control yourself.  A great way to learn about yourself is through writing. Make lists of your strengths and weaknesses. Be honest with yourself. When are you most in control and when are you least in control? When do you misbehave the most? What are the circumstances when you misbehave? Are you sad, stressed, hungry, or sleep-deprived? Once you find a pattern to your behavior, use that information and change your lifestyle to improve your behavior. Another great way to learn about yourself is through meditation. Find a quiet place and just sit and focus on your breathing. After a while, you'll feel everything slip away. What's left is your self. Ask yourself questions and answer honestly. Ask your friends and family what they see about you. Ask them how they think you could improve your behavior,...

A strong clue that the victim's injury came from a sea urchin sting is the visual identification of a sea urchin in the immediate area. These creatures cannot quickly flee; if a person is stung by a sea urchin it can usually be easily spotted for confirmation. This is not critical to the victim's safety or well being, but simply allows you to be reasonably sure that a sea urchin was the cause of the injury. Sea urchin injuries can vary widely in terms of severity, but commonly cause symptoms such as those listed below.  The site of injury contains spine fragments (barbs) embedded in the skin. These barbs will often have a bluish tinge that shows under the skin, revealing the site of even small stingers The victim experiences immediate and severe pain at the injury site. The puncture site is swollen. The skin around the wound is red or brownish-purple in color. The victim experiences joint discomfort or muscle pain. The victim becomes weak or fatigued. Even a small or apparently minor injury from a sea urchin sting can be life-threatening, especially if the victim is allergic to the urchin's venom. The following are strong indications that urgent medical treatment is required:  There are multiple, deep puncture wounds. The injury is located in the victim's abdomen, chest, neck, or face. The victim experiences fatigue, muscle aches, weakness, shock, paralysis, or respiratory failure. Lay the victim down on the ground if the incident occurs near shore. Most sea urchin stings occur as a result of accidentally stepping on an urchin with bare feet. As such, most sea urchin injuries occur in shallow water near a shore or beach.  Just as for any other sea creature-induced injury, getting out of the water quickly and safely is essential to prevent further injury. Elevate the injured body part to avoid getting sand or dirt in the wound, especially if the injury is to the bottom of the victim's foot. If the victim and/or his companions determine that emergency services are not required, someone will need to transport...

TL;DR in Russian:

A strong melody will be easier to learn to play by ear.  Rock or folk songs usually have strong, easy to recognize melodies. Avoid songs with inconsistent melodies, such as rap and hip hop tracks. In music, notes combine in a specific way to make a scale or chord, and chords come together to form chord progressions. Chord progression patterns are especially common in popular music, so you should be able to recognize common patterns when you hear them.  Recognizing chord progression patterns will help you to anticipate chord changes as you listen to a piece of music. For example, popular songs like ‘La Bamba’ and ‘Twist and Shout’ share one of the most common chord progressions of all time. If you can play the chords for one of these songs, you can easily play other songs with the same or similar chord progression. This will help you find the key of the song.  To find the key of the song, you must first find the tonic or the root note, which is the first and last note in the scale of the song.  For example, in the key of C Major, the tonic is C. The notes in a scale or key are like a family, so they are related and center around the tonic of the key. The tonic or the root note of the song will be the tone that sounds the most ‘at home’ in the song. It will sound like it could fit just about anywhere in the song. Now that you’ve found the key of the song, try to find the melody based on the notes in the key. For example, in the key of C, the notes are C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C, so the melody will fall within these notes. In general, the notes of scales and chords are assigned specific numbers. So, the fifth is a fifth note of the scale.  If we use ‘La Bamba’ as an example, it is in the key of C major. So, G is the fifth degree of C Major, as you go five degrees up from C Major, i.e. C,D,E,F,G, A,B,C.  It’s best to play a fifth above the tonic as the fifth is always the second most stable tone in any key. This tone should also feel like it could belong in any part of the song, though not as strongly as the tonic. Focus on...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите мелодичную песню. Внимательно прислушивайтесь к шаблонам в песне. Играйте ноты песни одну за другой и наблюдайте за тем, как они звучат. Определите мелодию песни. Сыграйте тон на квинту выше тоники, чтобы определить аккордовую последовательность песни. Повторяйте этот процесс для каждой смены аккорда.


A strong social media presence is key for successful fundraising. Get on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and other social media outlets.  Ask a social media savvy friend to help if you're not familiar with these outlets yourself. A strong Facebook fan page, as well as a Twitter presence, can be a great means to spread the word of an event to many people at once. Reach out to the right people. Blindly inviting your entire Facebook friend's list is a big no-no. You're likely to annoy people who do not live in the area or who are not interested in the cause. Stick to inviting people who you know have similar views and live near enough to attend. People are more likely to donate if they know where their money is going. Know exactly where your money will be going and be upfront with people about this. If people know that, say, $5 buys one vaccination for a child in need in a third world country they'll be motivated to give. As you'll likely have to go through some auditing process for tax purposes, keep thorough records. Keep records of who donated, how much they donated, and what the money went towards. The key to getting people to donate is genuinely believing in your cause yourself. Know as much as you can about your cause so you sincerely believe it's worth it.  If you know a lot about your cause, you're likely to feel more passionate about it. When you send out an e-mail or letter asking for donations, you'll sound more convicted. This can motivate people to donate.  People enjoy contributing to worthy causes. It makes them feel positive about themselves and involved in their community. The stronger you believe in your cause, the more others will want to help you out. The easier it is for passersby to donate to your cause, the more money you'll be likely to raise. Make it easy for potential donors to make a contribution. If you have a website set up to collect donations, ensure that it is easy to navigate. If you've set up an account at the local bank, make sure the instructions for making a deposit are clear....

A studded leather bracelet requires strips of tooled leather, assorted studs, an x-acto knife, a hammer, a snap-on clasp, and scissors. Wrap the leather strip around your wrist, and add an additional inch to the measurement. Use the scissors to cut the strip to length, and cut off the corners to round off the ends. Take your studs and arrange them how you like over the leather bracelet. When you've gotten them just where you want them to be, gently poke the leather with the prongs from the stud. Doing this will not pierce the leather, but leave a small indent. Use the x-acto knife to cut small slits where the prongs indented the leather. These cuts need only be wide enough for the prongs to be inserted through; cutting them too wide will show up on the finished project. Slide each of the studs through the slits you have cut. The prongs will stick out the back end. Twist them around just how you like them before securing them in place. Flip the leather strip over and use your hammer to bend down the prongs. If there are two prongs on the back of each stud, hammer them down in opposite directions. To create the clasp, add the snap-on buttons to either end of the bracelet. These may have prongs that can be slid through the leather and hammered down like the studs, or they may need to be glued in place. Use the snaps to secure the bracelet on your wrist. Adjust any studs that may have gotten twisted around or moved out of place. Your bracelet is finished! Show off your new style by making several and stacking them.

A study from Hong Kong Shue Yan University shows that people who sleep face down are more likely to have dreams about being tied up, smothered, and other nightmarish themes. Note that this may also increase the likelihood of erotic or sexual dreams, so you may not receive the desired effect. If you cannot get to sleep on your stomach, the next most "nightmarish" sleeping position may be lying on your back, followed by lying on your left side. While eating spicy, salty, or fatty foods are commonly believed to cause nightmares, scientists are divided over the exact effect of these substances. Some argue that the disruption of your sleep cycle may even slow down the onset of dreaming, potentially resulting in fewer dreams or nightmares. Others think they may increase dream intensity, at least in some people, and suggest that each person pay attention to his own body's response. Try watching a horror movie, playing a scary video game, or reading ghost stories before bed. If you have a specific fear or anxiety, look at images of it or simply lie in bed imagining a "nightmare scenario." Aim to make yourself only slightly scared or anxious. If you are terrified out of your wits, you are unlikely to fall asleep in the first place. While the effect of vitamin B6 on dreams is not thoroughly studied, many people swear by its ability to increase the vividness of dreams. One study suggests that it may be effective, either due to an effect on the dreaming process itself, or an enhancement of your ability to remember dreams. Including vitamin B6 from both food and supplements, daily intake should not exceed 60 mg for children 9–13 years old; 80 mg for teenagers 14–18 years old; or 100 mg for adults 19 years or older. Some people report having more vivid or bizarre dreams when taking melatonin, which may give you a new dream experience even if they are not outright nightmares. At least one study supports this idea, suggesting that dreams involving transformations are especially likely to occur under melatonin. Melatonin is...

A sub-domain type arrangement is available on a lot of sites, most notably Blogspot, Blogger and Wordpress. With these sites, you'll be able to choose a URL address free of charge, but have the host site's name included. Deciding what type of server you'll use depends on the content of the site itself. If you're a writing publication, for instance, Wordpress might be best. If it's a hobby site, Blogger may be best.  If you were using Wordpress, for example, your URL might look like: www.testsite.wordpress.com. These sites come with fairly intuitive interfaces, so they're great to use if you're not particularly tech-savvy. To get your sub-domain up and running, you'll need to access one of these sites and write up account info once you're sure what your site's going to be about. As with most sites, the process of registration is often quite simple. Some may distinguish between making an account and making the domain/site itself, allowing you to host multiple domains with one account. The specifics of the registration information you'll need will vary from server to server, but you'll need an email, password and domain name for a free account, and a valid credit card if you decide to upgrade to paid account. Choosing a perfect domain name can make or break a website. Although the server name will be part of your overall URL, you'll have to choose your specific site name. Pick something that accurately defines what your site is about. For example, if your site is about books, you should include the word 'books' or something related, like 'literature', in the domain name. The domain should also be relatively easy to remember. Don't be discouraged if your first choices are already taken. These server sites see a lot of traffic, and you can't be too picky with a free domain. If you get frustrated, try to find new permutations of your site's name. Try to avoid intentionally misspelling it purely for the sake of finding an available domain name. Once the registration has finally gone through, it's always good form to...

A successful title should fit the story in an apt but evocative way. Think about the major theme of your story--is it revenge? grief? alienation?--and think of titles that evoke that theme. If, for example, the theme is redemption, you might title your story something like “Falling into Grace.” If one particular setting plays a central role in the story, consider using that setting for your title. For example, if the crux of your story is something that happened in a town called Washington Depot, you might simply title the story “Washington Depot.” Or you might draw inspiration from events that happen there title the story something like “The Wraiths of Washington Depot” or “Washington Depot in Flames.” If there’s a particular event that either predominates the story or plays a key role in setting events in motion, consider using that as your title inspiration. For example,  you might devise something like, “What Happened in the Morning” or “A Death Among Thieves.” Naming the book after an important character can provide a kind of compelling simplicity to a title. It helps, though, if the character’s name is something notable or memorable. A number of venerated authors have gone this route: Charles Dickens with David Copperfield and Oliver Twist, Charlotte Bronte with Jane Eyre, and Miguel de Cervantes with Don Quixote. If you have a particularly clever or original turn of phrase in your story that captures an important element or theme, use it or a version of it for your title. For example, novels like To Kill a Mockingbird, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, and Sleepless in Seattle are all based on lines from the stories themselves.

A succinct introduction sentence at the start of your paragraph will help catch the reader’s attention and shift their focus to the person you’re about to describe. Keep this first sentence clear and concise, focusing on one aspect of their appearance so you don’t overwhelm your reader with too much description right away. You can also split your topic sentence into 2 sentences for clarity and flow. Start with something like: To hook your readers in even more, go straight from your general introduction to the most interesting or unusual part of the person’s appearance. Think of this as the thing that you notice first, or that makes the biggest impression on you when you first see it. If you’re writing a more creative piece, like a narrative, you can also use this as your introductory sentence. For example, you could write:  “I didn’t usually notice people’s skin, but Natasha’s glowed. It was almost alien. Night could be falling, or we could be sitting in a dark classroom, and I’d still see her out of the corner of my eye, faintly golden.” “His arms looked too long for his body, and disproportionately muscular, like pale twin boa constrictors.” By carefully choosing your descriptive words, your paragraph can paint a vivid picture of the person while giving the reader a sense of who they really are. Search for strong, resonant words that get across the point you want to make and create a tone that fits with the person. Make sure that your reader has a good sense for the most important parts of this person’s appearance. You want to at least touch on key aspects of their body and clothing, as well as their face, since these are the parts of the person that the reader will be most interested in. Continue to use strong, descriptive words and challenge yourself to describe them in unique ways.  To describe a face, for example, you could write, “Her nose and her two front teeth were just slightly crooked. She was constantly pulling her long hair forward and throwing it back again, blinking her bangs out of her eyes...

A sun hat or a floppy hat can pull your outfit together. A beanie is a great way to accessorize your polka dot dress and to keep your head warm. You can make a hat your statement piece of your outfit. Try wearing hair accessories with your dress, such as headbands, ribbon, hair scarves, hair clips, hair sticks, and other hair accessories. Hair accessories are a subtle accessory that can add to your outfit without taking away from the dress. Wearing a belt with a dress can accentuate your waist and break up the polka dot pattern. Experiment with different areas of your waste until you find the best spot for the belt on you. Figure out the width of belt that looks best on your body. You can have a really thick belt or a simple thin belt. A solid-colored scarf adds contrast to the busy dress pattern of polka dots. Scarves also keep your neck warm in cold weather. Wear a scarf in a loop, knot, or circle around your neck. Wear solid-colored tights or leggings to add warmth and style to your outfit. Black opaque tights look great under dark-colored dresses. You can opt for brighter tights to stand out against a neutral polka dot dress.

A table as high as your hips is ideal. Do not place the can on your lap or in between your legs. The knife could slip and injure you. Grip the top of the knife with your palm directly over the joining place. Your fingers should rest against the side of the handle, safely away from the sharp edge of the blade.  Make sure you have a firm grip. This method can be dangerous if your hand or the knife is slippery. Do not use this method with a knife smaller than a chef's knife. A chef's knife is a large, heavy knife that weighs more than a pruning or steak knife. You need the relatively heavy weight of the blade to effectively puncture the lid of the can. The heel of the knife is the place where the blade is widest. It's at the opposite end of the blade from the tip. Place it up against the raised lip at the edge of the can's lid.  The heel should be centered right under the place where your palm is gripping the knife. Make sure it is firmly positioned against the edge of the lid, so it won't slip. Press down firmly so that it punctures the can, creating a small hole. If you have trouble puncturing the can, try standing up and leaning over it. Hold the knife in place with one hand. Place the other hand on top. Apply steady pressure with both hands and push down until the can is punctured.  Do not strike the can to puncture it. The knife may slip and injure you. Instead, apply slow, steady pressure until the knife breaks through the can. Don't be tempted to use the sharp tip of the knife to puncture the can. The heel is more stable and less likely to slip. Also, if you use the tip you'll ruin the edge on your blade. Move it a few centimeters along the edge of the lid. Use the same technique to create another hole right next to the first one. Circle the entire lid, just as you would with a can opener. The lid should now be loose. Insert the tip of the knife into one of the holes. Push up to pry off the lid. Be careful to point the edge of the blade away from your body so that it won't hurt you if it slips. Remove and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте банку на устойчивую поверхность. Удерживайте нож в месте пересечения рукоятки и лезвия. Расположите пятку ножа над внутренним краем банки. Прижмите пятку к крышке. Сдвиньте нож и выполните новое отверстие. Продолжайте выполнять отверстия по окружности крышки. Подденьте крышку.


A table at hip height is ideal. Stand over the can so you can access it easily. Hold the knife so that is vertical, rather than at an angle. Grip the handle such that your fingers won't be in the way of the blade if it slips. The back of your hand should be facing up.  This method is more effective than attempting to saw the lid off using the blade of your knife. That will ruin your knife and potentially leave metal shavings in your food. Make sure the knife is completely extended and locked into place, so it won't slip. This method can also be done with a chisel or another sturdy, thin object similar to a pocket knife. Use your second hand to lightly smack the back of the hand that's gripping the knife handle. This gentle smacking motion will cause the tip of the knife to puncture the lid of the can.  Do not smack too hard. You don't want to lose control of the knife. Smack with your hand open, and connect with your palm. This will help you maintain control. Position the tip of the knife a few centimeters over and repeat the technique to puncture the can again. Circle the entire lid, as you would with a can opener. The lid should now be loose. Slip the tip of the knife into one of the holes. Use it to pry the lid off. Gently pull the lid from the can.  If necessary, use a smaller knife to saw through remaining connected parts of the lid. Cover your hand with a towel or your sleeve before prying off the lid. This will protect your hand from getting scratched by the lid.

A tailored dress shirt is your best option, but any shirt that fits your shoulders correctly will work as long as that shirt has sleeves.  The accuracy of this measurement depends entirely on the shirt you choose to measure, so make sure you pick a good one. For the sake of accuracy, use a shirt that fits in the shoulder area as correctly as possible. If you want a looser fit, you can always add 1 inch (2.5 cm) or so to the measurement after you take it. This measurement can be substituted for your back or standard shoulder width measurement. Do not use it to substitute for your front shoulder width measurement, though. Since this measurement is not quite as accurate as one measured across your actual shoulders, you should only use this option if you are unable to use the traditional method of measurement. Place the shirt on a table or other flat working surface. Smooth it out so that the material lies as flat as possible. For the sake of consistency, you may want to keep the back facing up as you measure. This does not matter much, though, since the location of the shoulder seams will almost always be the same on both the front and back of you shirt. This measurement is your shoulder width. Consider marking it down and saving it in your records.  While not quite as accurate as a shoulder width measurement taken from your actual shoulders, this measurement will almost always provide a close enough approximation to your true shoulder width. This measurement is most commonly used for tailored men's pieces, but it can be used for both men's and women's tops.

A tank size of 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) at minimum is recommended for a single betta fish. If you have more than one fish, you should get a bigger tank to accommodate all of the fish. If you have a larger tank, you may not need to change the water as frequently. Toxins will build up more quickly and in higher concentration in a smaller tank. Having a good pH balance will help restrict the levels of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, which will in turn keep your betta healthy. An ideal pH is 7.  Treat the water with a dechlorinator. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to put this into the water. Test your water for ammonia using a test kit. You will either use a dip-stick test or gather a water sample to test the water. Your ammonia level should read 0, since you just used a dechlorinator. Measure the ammonia level once per day until you start seeing ammonia levels. This will tell you how long you can go before changing the tank’s water. Twice a week, you should change the water in the tank to make sure that you don’t have dangerous levels of ammonia, nitrate and nitrite building up. You can use distilled, bottled or tap water, but each kind of water needs to be treated before it goes in the tank in order to restore the proper balance of nutrients in the water.  Change 25%-50% of the water in the tank twice a week. This means you add 25% new water and keep 75% of the old water (or 50% new and 50% old). Use aquatic water conditioners, available at your pet store for $5-$10, to adjust pH levels in the water. Use them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Add 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt and 1 drop per gallon of a fungus preventative like Aquarisol. Do not use table salt in place of aquarium salt. Table salt may have additives like iodine and calcium silicate, which can be harmful to fish. Cycling your tank means that you build up good bacteria in the tank so that your fish can flourish. This bacteria will help keep ammonia levels low by breaking down fish waste into nitrite and then into nitrate. Start...

A tap detector is a physical device you can hook up to your phone. As the name suggests, it can pick up on outside signals and taps, letting you know that your suspicions are correct and that someone else has been listening to your calls. The usefulness of these devices is in question, but in order for any such device to be of any use in detecting a wiretap, it will need to be able to detect electrical or signal changes over the phone line being tested. Look for a device that measures impedance and capacitance levels, along with high-frequency signal changes. For smart phones, you might be able to install a tap detecting app that can pick up on tap signals and unauthorized access to your cell phone data.  The effectiveness of these apps is debatable, so even these may not provide you with irrefutable proof. Some apps of this nature are only useful in detecting bugs placed by other apps. Apps that claim to detect bugs include Reveal: Anti SMS Spy. If you have strong reasons to believe that you phone is tapped, you can ask your phone carrier to check using professional equipment.  A standard line analysis performed by the phone company will be able to detect most illegal wiretaps, listening devices, low frequency devices, and phone line splicing. Note that if you have asked your phone company to check for wiretaps and bugs, but the company refuses your request or claims not to find anything after barely searching, there is a chance that it could be administering a government request. If you have strong evidence that your phone really has been tapped, you can also ask the police to check. Moreover, you can enlist their help in catching whoever is responsible for the tap, as well. Most police departments have the equipment needed to test your phone for a bug or a tapping device, but if you do not have decent evidence that your concerns are justified, they might not be willing to use it.

Используйте прибор для обнаружения прослушивающих устройств. Установите приложение. Попросите о помощи телефонную компанию, которая вас обслуживает. Обратитесь в полицию.


A tarp is not necessary, but it helps a great deal with the cleanup. Placing the dug-up dirt on a tarp will reduce the mess caused by a lot of errant soil. Depending on the amount of soil you have to dig up, you can wrap up the tarp into a sack and carry it to the organic garbage as such, or shovel it back. If you have a lot of soil and have nowhere for it to go (for instance, you already used some to amend your plant beds but you have quite a bit of soil left), there are probably others in your neighbourhood who could use it for their own landscaping projects. Putting an ad up somewhere like Craigslist is your best bet. There are obviously no guarantees whether someone will respond to your ad, but it is a way to get rid of your soil for free, all the while helping out a stranger while you're at it. If you have enough excess soil from your digging operation and have nowhere to put it, you can send it to a landfill as 'clean fill'. You can send this excess to a landfill provided the soil has not been contaminated and meets your municipality's minimum sanitary requirements. The particulars will depend on where you're living, but you can usually find specific details on your home city's webpage. Keep in mind that you may be charged a fee for disposing of your soil in a landfill.

Положите брезент рядом с будущей ямой, чтобы ссыпать на него весь извлекаемый грунт. Дайте объявление о том, что отдаете грунт бесплатно. Вывезите грунт на свалку.


A tea ball can also be dropped into a teapot for one or two if easier. Just be sure that the tea ball has the capacity for the amount of cups you're planning on brewing. The boiled water should be "first boil" (see the boiling instructions under "Brewing loose green tea in a teapot" for more details). The water should be allowed to sit for a moment as the ideal temperature for water for green tea is 180 °F (82 °C), 80C. Leave the tea to steep for a few minutes (3 to 5 minutes is usually enough, unless the tea instructions advise otherwise).  Enjoy it with some matcha and chocolate swirl cake.

TL;DR in Russian:

A ten or twenty gallon tank is good for two to four small hermits.  A twenty to forty gallon tank is good for a dozen small or three to four large hermits. Hermit crabs are social animals and should have at least two other crabs with them.  The proper home for your crabs should be one that holds in humidity, but still lets in fresh air. A fish tank or reptile aquarium usually does nicely. You can even rinse out that old leaking tank from the attic and use it! Acrylic terrariums tend to work better, as they hold the humidity and heat more efficiently. You should buy a hygrometer (humidity gauge). These will help you to monitor and maintain a 75-85% relative humidity. Hermit crabs breathe through (hardened) gills, and can't breathe properly unless the air is humid enough. The ideal range is at least 75% relative humidity. Humidity lower than 70% will cause suffocation, which kills slowly over several weeks or months and is extremely painful. A great way to increase your tank's humidity naturally is to add natural moss to your tank. It increases the humidity, and hermit crabs eat it. Look for moss like Fluker's Reptile Moss at your local pet store. Sponges also work well, and can also be found at a pet store. But sponges get dirty easily and need to be changed out every two to three weeks. Hermit crabs are tropical animals and do best in warm temperatures. 75-85°F is the proper temperature range. Heat damage is irreversible, and temperatures that are too low slow down a crab's metabolism. An under-tank heater designed for hermit crabs, mounted on the back of the tank is a good way to keep your tank humid. An improper environment can cause your crab to become lethargic and inactive, lose limbs and could potentially cause death. Buy a thermometer to keep an eye on the tank's temperature. Substrate is the layer of material you place on the floor of the tank. Sugar-sized arrogate sand is the only sand you should use because other grades could cut the crab, and play sand may have harmful fills. Use dechlorinated salt...

A tent is the most common source of shelter used when camping.  If you haven’t set up your tent before, set it up in your yard once or twice before you arrive at your campsite to get some practice. Tents come in many different sizes.  If you’re camping alone, you could get a small, single-person tent.  If you’re camping with someone else, get a tent that accommodates both of you. If you plan on going hiking or climbing during your camping trip, you’ll want a backpack.  The size of the pack you decide to bring depends on how far you’ll be hiking.  Longer, more intense hikes will require a larger and sturdier backpack, while easier day hikes will only require a small day pack.  Backpacks are either frameless, or have an internal or external frame.  Internal frame packs tend to be more expensive and sit flush against your back. External frame packs are more affordable and tend to provide more ventilation.  However, they are bulkier than internal frame packs. Smaller day packs that don’t hold much are usually frameless. A sturdy rope has lots of uses when camping.  You can use it as a clothesline, or cut it into various lengths in order to hang pots or bind your sleeping pad to your backpack. You'll want to store and coil your rope correctly when you pack it to avoid tangling. A tarp can provide additional protection for the bottom of your tent, or it can be stretched over your tent to keep it extra-dry.  The size of the tarp you get depends on the size of your tent.  The larger your tent, the larger the tarp you bring along. A battery-powered flashlight or headlamp is important for helping you find your way around your campsite after dark. Headlamps can be useful to complete tasks around your campsite, as your hands will be free.  Be sure to pack extra batteries. You might also want to bring a battery-powered lantern. Collapsible camping chairs are perfect for sitting around the fire or just lounging around the campsite.  The best camping chairs are lightweight and sold in specialty backpacking stores. If you’re...

A tequini takes all the sophistication and class of a martini and squeezes a little bit of fun into the mix. Imbiber beware, however, because this brother is boozy! Turn the tequini into a sweeter tequini by using a reposado tequila and sweet vermouth.  Into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, mix:  2 1/2 oz blanco tequila 1/2 oz dry vermouth Dash of Angostura bitters   Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with an olive, lemon twist, or jalapeño pepper. Called "tequila sunrise" because of the layering of red and orange, this recipe is another reminder that tequila and citrus make a really nice pairing.  In a highball glass with ice, pour in:  2 oz. blanco, oro, or reposado tequila Enough orange juice to fill the glass almost to the top.   Stir ingredients, and then dip two dashes of grenadine syrup into the drink by tilting the glass slightly and funneling the syrup quickly down the side. The grenadine should sink to the bottom and slowly rise through the drink. Garnish with stirrer, straw, and cherry-orange. This is also sometimes called a "Bloody Maria." The vampira cocktail is a Mexican twist on the classic bloody Mary recipe. It's light and spicy, and manages to be original without betraying the essence of the prototype.  Fill a 10-ounce glass with ice. Into the glass, pour:  pinch of salt 1 1/2 oz. blanco tequila 1 teaspoon Mexican hot sauce, e.g. Cholula 1 oz. Clamato 1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice   Top up the drink with Mexican Squirt or another grapefruit soda, and garnish with a lemon wheel.

A termiticide treatment will not only kill termites in the ground, but will protect your house from any termites trying to burrow into it. Create a trench around the perimeter of your house, then spray termiticide in the trench to create a natural barrier.  Be sure to carefully read and follow the instructions for using liquid termiticide to keep you, your family, your neighbors, and the environment safe. This treatment is a lot easier to perform when you are building a new house. Trenching may be necessary if your house is already built. Termite bait is a poison that slowly acts to kill termites. It also spreads the poison around the colony to eradicate the infestation. Place the baits in a perimeter around your house, spread 10–12 feet (3.0–3.7 m) apart. Add additional baits in areas where there is high termite activity.  Termite baits are made of cardboard, paper, or other cellulose material, with a lethal poison for termites.  You can use either above or below ground baits. Nematodes are roundworms that can kill termites. Expose the termite colonies to nematodes by releasing them in areas where there is high termite activity.  This is not always the most effective method of extermination. Nematodes have varying mortality rates depending on their environment. The Steinernema carpocapsae is one of the most effective types of nematode to eradicate termites and other wood borers. While do-it-yourself methods may seem appealing, your best solution is to hire a professional to remove the termites. Look online for exterminators who specialize in removal of termites and their colonies. Make sure to read user reviews and choose an exterminator who has a good reputation.  Calling in a professional may cost more money initially, but will save you money on repairing structural damage around your house. Talk about future prevention methods with the exterminator as well.

Создайте барьер вокруг дома, используя жидкое средство от термитов. Используйте приманку для термитов, чтобы отравить всю колонию. Убейте колонию термитов с помощью нематод. Обратитесь за помощью к профессионалу.


A test kit is the fastest and most reliable way to determine if you have ammonia in your tank. There are many effective test kits that you can purchase. Ask the employees at your local pet store to help you choose the best one for your needs.  Ammonia test kits are very affordable. Most cost between $5-$10. A test kit can tell you whether you have elevated ammonia levels. Keep one on hand in case you notice any symptoms. Follow the directions on the packaging. If the test indicates any level of ammonia, that is too much. The only safe level of ammonia is zero. If your test kit detects any amount of ammonia, you need to perform a water change. This process can take several days.  Changing the water is the only safe way to lower ammonia levels. Products that promise to remove ammonia might have negative side effects, so they should be avoided. A water change means that you will remove 10-15% of the water in the tank. Use a clean bucket or jug to remove the water. Replace the water with fresh water. Use dechlorinated tap water. Continue changing the water over the next 2-3 days until there is no trace of ammonia. You do not need to remove your fish or any plants that are in your tank. The process by which you keep the water in your aquarium healthy for your fish is known as "cycling". The primary reason to cycle your aquarium is to ensure that the levels of ammonia and nitrates are at the proper level. You can cycle a new tank or an already established tank.  A full cycle will take 4-6 weeks to complete. Begin by placing all new water in your tank. With a new aquarium, start slowly. Let the aquarium run for at least a day before adding fish. Add fish slowly. Do not add more than 3 new fish per week to any tank. Purchase a cycling aid product. You can ask for these at your local pet or fish supply store. There are several brands that will contain bacteria to supplement your tank. These products will help promote healthy bacteria in your tank. Follow the instructions on the product packaging.

A therapist can be helpful whether or not your vaginismus is caused by emotional or psychological issues. This is because awareness of the condition itself often produces fear and anxiety before intercourse, starting a vicious cycle that exacerbates symptoms. Feelings of depression, isolation, and lower self-esteem are also common effects of the stigma of sexual dysfunction.  Treatment outcomes are much more positive when the woman and her sexual partner are motivated, cooperative, and resolve to lessen relationship conflicts. So, a couple's psychological evaluation is a great beginning to treatment.  If your vaginismus is connected to anxiety issues or past sexual trauma, a therapist can help you deal with these issues so you can start to move forward. One particular type of therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), can be especially helpful to some women. CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts and behaviors, and a cognitive behavioral therapist can help you change your thoughts and behaviors regarding avoidance of sexual intercourse. One treatment for vaginismus is called exposure therapy, or flooding, and it involves gradual desensitization to penetration. Therapist-aided exposure to penetration is an effective treatment, even for women with lifelong vaginismus. The techniques for exposure usually involve vaginal penetration exercises using dilators. This is the same method used for self-treatment, with the addition of a guide who can help you continue on your own with confidence and success. Ask your doctor to refer you to a physical therapist who has experience dealing with vaginismus and other forms of female sexual dysfunction. Because the muscles of the pelvic floor play such a major role in vaginismus, physical therapy is one of the best treatment options. Your physical therapist might:  teach you breathing and relaxation techniques help you learn pelvic floor muscle contraction to control your pelvic floor muscles Kegel exercises are designed to help you control the muscles of your...

A therapist will be able to help you work through the issues you are going through at this current time. A therapist can also help educate you about your depression, which is an important component and has been shown to reduce depression.  If you don't like the idea of traditional therapy, look into unique variations of it. Animal, art, drama/psychodrama, and music therapy all work by combining the talk-based therapy of a counselor with an activity-based approach to help you overcome your depression. Ask friends or family for recommendations of local psychologists. You may be surprised by the number of people you know who visit a counselor on a regular basis. Asking someone you trust can also help you to transfer a bit of that trust onto the therapist before you start meeting, making it more likely that you will have a quick recovery. Social support is crucial to getting out of a depression and can help you cope with stressful life events (job changes or loss, etc.).  Support from others can also help reduce negative thoughts that lead to depression. Find those people in your life – friends, family members, or coworkers – who make a positive impact on your daily functioning. Are they encouraging? Do you enjoy their company? Can you go out and do things with them? These are the people you want to spend your time with.  Make plans on a regular basis – one or two times a week – to go out with a supportive friend. This could be as simple as grabbing coffee or lunch together, or perhaps taking a day-trip to a new city or spending the afternoon out kayaking. You can make plans to do anything together, just get out and do them! Create distance with people you know cause you anxiety or who are not supportive of your disorder. Spending time with them will likely worsen your condition and make it harder to feel enthusiastic about recovering. Make big plans for the future to look forward to. Plan a camping trip or a short vacation to take place a few months down the road. This way you have exciting events on the horizon...

A therapist, counselor, rabbi, minister or another professional will have had experience in helping people cope with unhappy experiences of love. It can be helpful to talk to someone who doesn’t have a personal investment in the situation, who can talk to you without being concerned about taking sides. Self-pity can be due to a long history of bad relationships, starting from childhood. You may need to work through these issues to start improving your relationships. You should not attempt to do this on your own. Seek help from a mental health professional who can guide you through this process.  You may want to check with the therapist to see if examining your past relationships is something that he or she can help you to do. Some therapists prefer to focus on the present rather than digging up problems from your past. Keep in mind that this process can be quite painful and it will take time to complete. You can trust a professional not to share your personal information with others. Seeing a professional can be expensive, but often insurance coverage can help defray the costs. There are also clinics which offer counseling services for free or lower-cost for low income people. . When you've been involved in an unhappy love situation, you might conclude that no one wants you. However, this is a result of rejection and/or being in a bad relationship. Instead, take this opportunity to remind yourself of your positive qualities.  Practicing self-love will aid the healing process of a broken heart, as it affirms your self-worth and self-esteem. If you find yourself engaging in negative self-talk, check yourself. Are these words that you would say to a loved one? If not, consider what you might say to someone whom you loved. There are lots of good reasons to share your feelings with another person. Talking about your frustration will help you see your relationship in a new way, which may offer solutions you hadn’t thought about before.  Talking with a trusted friend is a great way to release pent-up feelings, and...

A thesis statement conveys to the reader the points and/or arguments you wish to make in a paper. It serves as a road map by telling the reader the direction of your argument or analysis and how you will interpret the importance of the subject. In the most simple of terms, a thesis statement answers the question, "What is this paper about?" Additionally, a thesis statement  is an assertion, not a fact or observation. Facts are used within the paper to support your thesis. takes a stand, meaning it announces your position towards a particular topic.  is the main idea and explains what you intend to discuss.  answers a specific question and explains how you plan to support your argument. is debatable. Someone should be able to argue an alternate position, or conversely, support your claims. You want your thesis statement to be identifiable as a thesis statement. You do this by taking a very particular tone and using specific kinds of phrasing and words. Use words like "because" and language which is firm and definitive. Example thesis statements with good statement language include:  "Because of William the Conqueror's campaign into England, that nation developed the strength and culture it would need to eventually build the British Empire." "Hemingway significantly changed literature by normalizing simplistic writing and frank tone." Because of the role thesis statements play, they appear at the beginning of the paper, usually at the end of the first paragraph or somewhere in the introduction. Although most people look for the thesis at the end of the first paragraph, its location can depend on a number of factors such as how lengthy of an introduction you need before you can introduce your thesis or the length of your paper. Thesis statements are clear and to-the-point, which helps the reader identify the topic and direction of the paper, as well as your position towards the subject.

A thick glass container, like a glass canning jar, is usually a safe choice. Spoon the honey you need to melt into the container.  It is best to check the container to verify that it is microwave-safe before using it. Typically, this information is labeled on the bottom of the container.     Never use a metal container.     Plastic containers are debatable. Many are marked as being microwave-safe, but there is some evidence that chemicals from plastic can leech into the contents of the container when heated.    Place the container of honey in your microwave. Set the power to 50 percent, then microwave the honey for 30 to 40 seconds.  The exact amount of time can vary based on how powerful your microwave is and how much honey you have inside the container.     Keep an eye on the honey as it melts inside the microwave. If it appears fully melted before the full amount of time passes, stop the microwave and remove the container.    Carefully remove the container of honey from the microwave. Stir the honey with a spoon to distribute the heat. If some of the honey has not yet melted, return the container to the microwave and heat for another 20 seconds at medium power.  Repeat this process as needed. Heat the honey in 20-second intervals at 50-percent power, stirring after each interval, until the honey melts.     If you are trying to decrystallize honey, stop heating it once you can no longer spot any crystals. If you only want to melt honey to a thinner consistency, simply stop heating it once it has become thin enough for your liking.    Pour the melted honey into an airtight storage container. Store that container in a dry, room temperature location until you need to use the honey.  The ideal temperature range is between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (10 and 21 degrees Celsius). Colder and hotter temperatures can speed up the crystallization process. Moist conditions should also be avoided.     The container must be an airtight one if you want to prevent moisture loss and crystallization.

A thick yogurt, like Greek yogurt, works best. Simply add a small amount of yogurt, like a spoonful, at a time. Stir your yogurt into the curry and keep adding a little more at a time until it reaches your desired thickness. This is great for Indian-style curries as a cream substitute. It can also come in handy if your curry is a little spicier than you would like, as it can cool your curry down. This works best for curries that are already tomato-based, as it won't affect the flavor too much. Tomato puree is usually thicker than paste and has a slightly stronger flavor. Mix in a small amount of tomato puree or paste into the curry. Add a little at a time until the curry gets as thick as you want.  If you don't have puree or paste, you can try diced tomatoes. For best results, add tomatoes or tomato puree during the cooking process rather than after. If you're cooking with potatoes, try mashing them after the curry is cooked. This is a simple way to thicken the curry without potentially damaging or diluting the flavor. Sometimes, a few mashed potatoes can make for a thicker curry.

A thigh gap as wide as a supermodel's is not normal by any means, and oftentimes the photos of thigh gaps you see have been professionally digitally altered. While many people could stand to lose a little leg fat, some will never see a wide gap between their thighs even after shedding excess pounds. Genetics and body structure play the biggest role in whether you can gain a thigh gap. Simply put, most women have hips that are set too closely together for there to be a large gap between their thighs, even with very little fat on their legs. If you have wider set hips, however, a thigh gap might actually be possible while maintaining a healthy overall weight. Dieting and exercise will not give you a thigh gap overnight — it is a long-term lifestyle change, not a quick fix. Physical results could take as long as three to four weeks to start showing. Even then, some girls' genetics keep them from achieving a thigh gap, no matter how skinny they are. Whatever the case, it is not healthy to achieve a thigh gap by skipping meals or by exerting yourself to exhaustion. Stay motivated by noticing the ways in which a healthy diet makes you feel better, instead of simply looking better. You might have more energy, or notice that your clothes fit in a more flattering way. It may not be what you wanted, but learning to be happy with who you are is a skill you will need to develop whoever you are. Getting a thigh gap has become the Holy Grail for some. They need it or they feel inadequate. In serious cases, people focus on it so much that they begin to lose perspective about other important things in life, like health or maintaining social relationships. A troubling number of teens and young girls are treating a thigh gap in an unhealthy way, fasting and possibly developing eating disorders. Don't let the prospect of a thigh gap make or break you. Your thighs do not say anything about you. Do not let anyone tell you what to do. If you are after a thigh gap, but the only way you feel you can get there is starving your body...

Обратитесь за помощью, если вы чувствуете, что попытки сделать бедра стройными сказываются на вашем здоровье. Если вы решили добиться просвета между бедрами, используйте разноплановый подход из диеты и физических упражнений.


A thin cut of steak will cook very quickly and will let the different flavors — cheese, onions, peppers — intermingle, with your bread as the bed. You can cut the partially-frozen steak with a large, sharp chef's knife, or you can use a commercial meat slicer for easy preparation and uniform thickness. Most people won't have a meat slicer; a sharp knife will do just fine, even if it takes a bit longer. In a large skillet coated with a neutral oil, fry the onions and (if desired) peppers until both are translucent and barely browned on the edges. Stir occasional and salt as necessary. Remove and set aside when finished. Allow the meat to brown without stirring or agitating. At a high enough heat — and depending on the thickness of the meat — this process should only take one or two minutes. Do not overcook. Hold the steak with one spatula while you chop it with the other. Once the steak is chopped into smaller bits, turn it over to ensure that it's cooked on both sides. Cook for no longer than 30 seconds. You are going to be placing your roll directly on top of the steak, so make sure that your mound of meat is roughly the size of the roll.  " What kind of hoagie roll should you choose? In the Tri-state area where cheesesteaks are king, Aversa, Amoroso, and Vilotti-Pisanelli are commonly used as hoagie rolls. If you can't find any of these brands, however, you can try making your own Italian roll or using French bread. French bread is a little crispier than what is usually used, and it's not ideal, but it won't fall apart easily and is a pretty substantial bread. The contents of your cheesesteak should fit nicely inside your roll.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите слегка подмороженный бифштекс и нарежьте его очень тонко. Обжаривайте на среднем огне лук с перцем около пяти минут. Хорошо смажьте маслом ту же сковороду и положите тонко нарезанный стейк. Двумя острыми лопатками начинайте нарезать стейк на более тонкие ломтики. Добавьте лук и перец к мясу и уложите стейк по размеру булки, а затем накройте двумя кусками сыра. Выключите огонь под сковородой и подождите около 30 секунд, пока расплавится сыр. Положите раскрытую булку сверху на мясо и сыр, формируя «крышу». Подденьте лопаткой мясо и переверните его на булку. Наслаждайтесь.


A three-strand braid is a very common way to braid, perhaps most associated with a classic schoolgirl hair braid. You can use this technique to make a strong braided rope. Braided ropes are appropriate for use in high-friction situations. You can use more or less any type of rope material for this method, including synthetic rope, natural rope and plastic cords. It just has to be flexible enough that you can work with it. If the ends of your strands are frayed, fuse them before you begin.  With a synthetic rope you can fuse the end by holding it over a candle so that it melts a little and fuses together.  You can tie twine (dental floss works well) around the end portion of the strand to bind it together. This practice is known as “whipping.”  You can also use tape to secure the ends of the strands, and prevent fraying. Use a knot or some tape to securely bind the ends of your three strands. Electrical tape and gaffer tape are good choices, depending on how thick the strands you are using are. Once you have bound the strands together at the left-hand side, stretch out the rest of the rope towards the right-hand end.  The three strands should be lying next to each other and not overlapping to get your starting position.  You may find it helpful to label the three strands A, B, and C. You could also color-code the strands, or use different colors if you want to make a pattern. Start by crossing strand A over the central strand B. The order of strands will now be B, A, C. Next cross the other outside strand across the newly central strand, C over A. Now the order will be B, C, A. This is one basic repetition of the braiding pattern for a three-strand braid. Continue repeating this pattern of crossing one outside strand over the central strand, and then crossing the other outside strand over the new central strand.  In this example you would now cross B over C, so that B is the central strand. Then you would cross A over B so that A is the central strand. You can continue this pattern until you reach the end of...

A tick must bite a person or pet to transmit disease, so by checking yourself constantly during your camping trip, the chances of contracting a tick disease are significantly reduced. When you check for ticks make sure to look in these places:  Under arms and on the backs of knees Inside your belly button Around your waist Between your legs In and around your ears A hand-held or full-body mirror can make checking for ticks easier. Although it can be difficult while camping, taking a shower or bathing will help you locate and remove any unattached ticks. This is a good time to perform a tick check. To kill ticks that might be on your clothes, dry clothing as soon as you come home from your camping trip.  Dry the clothes on high heat for 10-15 minutes.  Do this before washing the clothes, since research has shown ticks are not killed by washing (even in hot water). Don’t leave your clothing sitting in a pile or stick it in a hamper. To remove ticks that aren't attached, place duct tape over them and pull them off the skin or clothing with the tape. Then, fold the tape over itself and toss it in the trash.  Bring a roll of duct tape on your trip so you are prepared. A lint roller also works well for removing unattached ticks. If the tick has already attached itself to your skin, use tweezers to grab its body and pull it directly up and away.  Tweezers with pointed ends work best so you can grab and hold on to the tick more easily. If the tweezers are not pointed, you can tear the tick during removal, which increases the risk of spreading disease. Never twist the tick or try to coax it off using heat or solvents. Follow up by swabbing the area with rubbing alcohol to disinfect. You can also apply an antibiotic cream or ointment to the site of the tick bite. If you are concerned about the risks of tick bites or live in an area where tick-borne diseases are common, it’s a good idea to place the tick you remove in a plastic bag so you can identify the type of tick and send it in for disease testing.  Note the date...

A total of 150 minutes of moderate cardiovascular activity is recommended for keeping you healthy. However, if you’re trying to lose weight, you may need to exercise more than this. Shoot for 30 minutes on 5 days of the week as your minimum target. This will help you to reach your 1,500 per day calorie deficit.  Choose an activity that you enjoy. This will help make it easier for you to stick with it. Try breaking up your exercise sessions into smaller chunks if you’re short on time. For example, you could exercise for 10 minutes at a time 3 times per day, or do two 15 minute workouts each day if you don’t have time for a 30 minute workout session. Every extra calorie you burn throughout the day will get you closer to your goal, so always be on the lookout for ways you can be more active.  Some easy things you can do include:  Parking further away from entrances Getting off the bus or subway 1 or 2 stops early and walking the rest of the way Taking the stairs instead of the elevator Biking or walking when you run errands or on your way to school or work Doing pushups or squats during a commercial break when you’re watching TV High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective way to increase the amount of calories you burn during your workouts. To do it, alternate between exercising at a moderate pace and exercising vigorously, and then repeat these intervals. Try doing HIIT with walking, running, biking, or swimming.  A sample HIIT workout on a treadmill might include walking for 4 minutes, then running for 4 minutes, then walking for 4 minutes again, and so on for a total of 30 minutes of exercise. If you do HIIT on a bike, you might ride at a moderate pace for 4 minutes, then sprint for 3 minutes, then return to a moderate pace again for 4 minutes, and so on. Building muscle gives you more lean muscle mass, which burns more calories. This will help to raise your metabolic rate and make it easier to create a caloric deficit. Aim for two 30 to 45 minutes strength training sessions per week.  You can use...

Занимайтесь кардиоупражнениями хотя бы по 30 минут большинство дней в неделю. Поищите простые методы больше двигаться на протяжении дня. Включите в свои занятия спортом высокоинтенсивные интервальные тренировки, чтобы сжигать больше калорий. Нарастите мышцы с помощью силовых упражнений.


A towel that's warmed to 37-40 °C (100-105°F) may be applied 3-4 times a day for no more than 10-30 minutes. This dilates the blood vessels and the warm sensation diminishes the pain by acting as a counter-irritant that masks the pain brought about by the inflammation. Sebaceous cysts may be covered if not causing the patient distress; most are non-dangerous and are only bothersome aesthetically. However, if it's infected, seeking medical treatment is wise. Be sure to routinely and thoroughly wash the skin with non-irritating antimicrobial soap in running water. Pat dry the skin using a clean cloth or towel and cover with a sterile gauze – keep the gauze dry at all times. Avoid putting cosmetics and skin care products on the site of the cyst. This may cause further irritation and infection. This type of cyst dries up naturally; trying to pop it would put you at risk for further infection and may cause permanent scarring. Resist the temptation -- if it bothers you, get it removed by a doctor. If a cyst burst due to healing or accidental popping causing a break in the skin; wash the area thoroughly in running water using a non-irritating antimicrobial soap. If signs of infection occur -- pain, swelling, redness, and warmth sensation -- notify your doctor immediately for appropriate medical intervention. It's a very routine procedure and nothing to worry about; however, if left alone, you can become septic, which is a very, very serious condition. Even if your cyst doesn't seem infected, you may wish to visit a doctor. A very simple incision will be made, and the cyst can be gone in a matter of minutes. You may need to get 1 or 2 stitches once the cyst is removed.

A towel wrap is a good system to use if you have long, curly, or thick hair that tends to hold onto moisture for a long time. You can wrap up your hair while you’re getting ready for the day, then take it down and style it when it’s still a little damp. You’ll need a large, soft towel long enough to wrap your hair. You can buy special towels made just for this purpose. Check out a beauty supply store or look online for a good selection.

A toxic parent will make their child feel bad about themselves. They might criticize their child constantly and harshly, and many toxic parents are dismissive of their child and the child’s accomplishments. A toxic parent is very negative and may often yell at their child. However, more sophisticated toxic parents may be more subtle in the way that they criticize and abuse their child. They may deliver criticism along with niceties or in a deceptively sweet way. One classic example of this is when a child brings home a good grade on a test. The child might say, “Look! I got an A- on my math test!” A toxic parent might respond with, “Well, why didn’t you get an A+?” This undermines the child’s hard work and leaves the child feeling that the parent is disappointed in them. Children of toxic parents often end up being the parent in situations where the toxic person wants the attention of their child. This is most likely to occur when the parent is feeling upset or worried about something. Unfortunately, most children are not ready to deal with the responsibility of their parent’s happiness, nor should they be. A parent’s biggest responsibility towards their child is to care for the child, not the other way around. A toxic parent isn’t able to set aside their ego when arguing with their child. Instead, they might give their child the silent treatment until the child begs for forgiveness. A toxic parent doesn’t care about how their child feels, they care about how they feel. This can be difficult for a child to deal with, especially at a young age because they don’t have the ability to understand why their parent is behaving this way. For many toxic parents, this also means that they feel they need to control everyone else. In order to be happy, a toxic person needs to get what they want, so they aren’t afraid to make other people (their children included) feel bad in order to get what they want. They also might not even be able to identify other people’s emotions and be unaware that their behavior is having a...

A trader of binary options should have some feel for the anticipated direction in price movement of the stock or other asset such as commodity futures or currency exchanges. Within most platforms the two choices are referred to as "put" and "call." Put is the prediction of a price decline, while call is the prediction of a price increase. Unlike traditional options, anticipating the magnitude of a price movement is not required. Instead, one must only be able to correctly predict whether the price of the chosen asset will be higher or lower than the "strike" (or target) price at a specified future time. Evaluate the current market conditions surrounding your chosen stocks or other asset and determine whether the price is more likely to rise or fall. If your insight is correct on the expiration date, your payoff is the settlement value as stated in your original contract. The return rate on each winning trade is established by the broker and made known ahead of time. For example, let's say an investor who follows foreign currency movements senses that the USD (U.S. dollar) is gaining ground against the JPY (Japanese yen) and wants to hedge his risk and try to prevent his Japanese investment from dropping in value. He may do this by buying 10,000 binary contracts which say that “USD/JPY  will  be above 119.50” by 4:00 PM ET tomorrow. If his analysis is correct and the USD gains ground over the Yen, rising above 119.50, the 10,000 binary contracts will expire in-the-money, yielding a total payout of $1,000,000. If the investor paid $75 per contract, he will make $25 per contract, which is a $250,000 total profit, a 33% rate of return on his investment. However, if the yen does not end above 119.50, the 10,000 binary contracts will expire out-of-the-money. In this case, the trader would lose his initial investment on the binaries, but would be compensated by the gain in value in his Japanese investments. Binary options are generally simpler to trade because they require only a sense of direction of the price...

A traditional conditioner is applied every time you shower, just after you rinse out your shampoo. This type of conditioner works to repair the damage done by hot tools, chemicals, and general wear-and-tear that your hair experiences on a daily basis. Choose a type of conditioner that is advertised for your specific hair needs; whether you have curly and frizzy hair, dry and damaged hair, colored hair, fine hair, relaxed hair, or limp and lank hair, there is a specific conditioner that can help with each. Hop in the shower, and go along with your regular washing routine. You’ll condition your hair after you wash it, so give your scalp and strands a good scrubbing with your favorite shampoo. Focus most of your washing power on the scalp, being careful not to tug at your wet hair as you wash as this can damage the ends and cause more breakage. Use warm water to wash out the shampoo. Warm water is safer on your hair than hot water is. Be careful not to tug on the strands if you run your fingers through it. When your hair feels ‘squeaky’, you’ve rinsed out all the shampoo. If your hair is sopping wet, any conditioner you try to apply will run right off and won’t stick long enough to affect your hair. If your hair is very short, you probably won’t have to do much wringing. If, however, you have long hair, spend a bit of time getting as much water out of it as you can. Pour a bit of conditioner into the palm of your hand; the amount you need will vary depending on the length of your hair. A dime-sized amount is usually recommended for professional conditioners, while drug store brands may require more because they can be diluted. If your hair is very long, you may need a whole palm-full of conditioner. Run this through the ends of your hair, trying to apply it to every strand that you’re able. Your conditioner should be applied only to the ends of your hair, as this is the part that is damaged (it’s the oldest). Putting conditioner near your scalp and roots can actually clog your follicles, and slow hair...

A trained mental health professional will use the criteria in the DSM-5 to diagnose Borderline Personality Disorder. The DSM-5 stipulates that to receive a diagnosis of BPD, a person must have 5 or more of the following:  “Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment” “A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation” “Identity disturbance” “Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging” Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior” “Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood” “Chronic feelings of emptiness” “Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger” “Transient, stress related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms” Remember that you cannot necessarily diagnose yourself with BPD, and you cannot diagnose others. The information provided in this section is only to help you determine whether you or a loved one may have BPD A person with BPD will experience intense fear and/or anger if faced with the prospect of being separated from a loved one. S/he may display impulsive behavior, such as self-mutilation or threatening suicide.  This reactivity may happen even if the separation is unavoidable, already planned for, or time-limited (e.g., the other person is going to work).  People with BPD generally have very strong fears about being alone, and they have a chronic need for help from others. They may panic or fly into a rage if the other person leaves even briefly or is late. A person with BPD usually does not have stable relationships with anyone for a significant period of time. People with BPD do not tend to be able to accept “gray” areas in others (or often, themselves). Their views of their relationships are characterized by all-or-nothing thinking, where the other person is either perfect or evil. People with BPD often go through friendships and romantic partnerships very quickly.  People with BPD often...

A training program can help turn those extra calories into muscle, instead of just fat. You'll want to combine both weight and cardio training. Be prepared to work out at least five days a week to see maximum benefits. You’ll need to cut down your long distance cardio program if you are trying to gain weight. Long runs, for example, can burn up many of your stored calories. Instead, go for short, 15-minute cardio interval programs or incorporate sprints into a weight routine. Talk with a personal trainer and develop a specific weight workout plan that suits your goals. You’ll likely need to alternate very heavy lift days with lighter ones. Expect to spend at least 45 minutes at each session. It is quite possible that your trainer will also instruct you to train in intervals, performing a number of exercises in sets. You can get your diet and exercise program to work together by making good use of your “workout window.” Make sure to eat protein and carbs immediately before and after working out. You may be tempted to continually push yourself without a break for the full month. This can backfire and result in illness or injury. Instead, make sure to incorporate exercise rest days, diet cheat days, and just general relaxation periods. Getting at least eight hours of sleep a night is also important.

A transitional statement can help the person get ready for unexpected bad news. Although you want to get to the point right away instead of beating around the bush, you do want to at least prepare the person for the prospect of upsetting news.  You can use phrases such as: "I have some sad news to tell you", "I've just received a call from the hospital: there has been an accident and..."; or "I've been talking to your specialist and...", "There is no easy way to say this but..." or "There's some really bad news you need to know..." etc. As you narrate the events, react to the emotions of the other person as they arise by acknowledging and addressing them. The most important part of breaking news is how well you respond to the other person's emotions.  Make the connection between the identification of the emotions and the cause, and make it clear to the recipient that you get the connection. Do this by acknowledging their response, such as "This is a clearly a terrible shock" or "I can see that you're really upset and angry about what has happened", and so forth. Doing this lets the person know you get their pain or other reaction and that you've tied it to the news you've just relayed, without passing any judgment, making any assumptions, or trying to minimize their emotions. Everyone won't ask questions or demand answers after hearing upsetting news. Some people may just sit there in shock. It may take time to let the news sink in. If he or she does that, place your arm around the person’s shoulders and simply sit with him or her in a display of sympathetic solidarity. When comforting the person, keep in mind social and cultural conventions to avoid making the situation worse. It's all very well delivering bad news but there must be a strategy for after delivery of it. Action can help prevent a person from going into a state of shock, and can give them a sense of being involved or doing something to resolve, manage, deal with, or face the results of the bad news. Help to decide how to handle the news. If a...

A traumatic experience is one that terrifies or shocks the child and may have felt life-threatening (whether real or perceived) and caused the child to feel extremely vulnerable. Potentially traumatizing events include...  Natural disasters Vehicle accidents and other accidents Neglect Verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse (including things like compliance therapy, restraint, or seclusion) Sexual assault or rape Wide-scale violence, like a mass shooting or terrorist attack War Violent/intense bullying or victimization Witnessing someone else's trauma (e.g. witnessing abuse) If two children go through the same experience, they may have different symptoms or different severity of trauma. What is traumatizing to one child may simply be upsetting to another. A parent suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder can also be a trigger for a child to develop a traumatized response. A child may even react more strongly to trauma because adults around them have done so, especially parents because they're so attuned to them.

A trendy scarf wrapped around your neck looks chic while protecting you against any chilly autumn breezes. There are many styles to choose from, including bucket hats, newsboy caps, and fedoras. Try on a few different styles until you find one that compliments the shape of your face. Once you find a style that works for you, look for one made of a heavier material, like wool or tweed. Small purses with dainty straps work better in the warmer seasons. Large shoulder bags with chunky straps look especially stylish in the fall and winter, since they coordinate more effectively with heavier knit clothing and boots. Gold tones are warmer than silver tones and match better with the browns, reds, and oranges commonly associated with fall. Look for necklaces with big, chunky beads in coral, red, or dark olive green. Consider chunky dangle bracelets in dark brown or orange. Jewelry can be used to add a splash of color to any outfit, regardless of the season.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте модный шарф. Наденьте модную шапку. Возьмите большую сумку. Примерьте аксессуары золотого цвета. Одевайте другие трендовые украшения.


A troll's goal is to make users angry, and by responding to their posts, you are "feeding the troll". The sooner you extinguish the trolling, the better. Wait for the troll to post. After they post, wait a certain amount of time (perhaps ten seconds), then respond with simply, 'cool.' Continue the conversation you were having.  A troll either wants you to get angry and comment as such, or wants you to be quiet. Using this tactic robs them of both. This tactic works very well for statements meant to offend you. If the trolling persists, a moderator or site owner can deal with them.

TL;DR in Russian:
