Fill the espresso machine's metal or ceramic pitcher with enough sake to serve. Note that you should prepare about 3 oz (90 ml) per intended serving. Fill the upper reservoir with water and set the temperature of the espresso machine to low. Allow the water to heat up for about 30 to 60 minutes, or until the temperature reaches 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.5 degrees Celsius). Open the lid of the upper reservoir and submerge the pitcher of sake in the water. Turn off the heat and allow the sake to sit in the warm water for 30 minutes. Position the pitcher carefully so that none of the water gets inside the mouth and into the sake. Remove the pitcher of sake. Place the steam wand of the espresso machine into the pitcher and turn on the steam to the wand. Let the sake continue heating up until it reaches a temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.5 degrees Celsius).  The steam wand should sit at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the sake. Do not allow it to dip into the sake; it must rest above the liquid in order to provide steam. The tip of the wand should also be just a bit off-center. If you want to check the temperature of sake without the use of a thermometer, you can gauge it by looking. If small bubbles begin to rise, the sake is considered to be warm. If bubbles quickly and immediately rise to the surface, then the sake is hot. Remove the steam wand from the sake and serve immediately.  You should be able to handle the pitcher without the use of an oven mitt. If you want to serve the sake in a more traditional way, pour it out of the pitcher and into a tokkuri before serving it to guests.

Fill the jars to within a quarter inch (half a cm) of the rim. Use a funnel to ensure that the seal between the jar and the lid stays clean.  You may want to wash the canning jars using the hot water cycle on your dishwasher before starting the process. Place the lids into boiling water for a couple of minutes to sanitize them. If you spill salsa on the rim of the jars, wipe it off with a paper towel before proceeding. Screw on the lid rings to make sure they stay put. Don't tighten the lids too much at this point, since air needs to escape at the next stage of the canning process. Fill the pot with water until it covers the jar by 2 inches (5 cm). Turn the burner to high heat and bring the water to a boil.  If you live at low elevation, boil the jars for 15 minutes. If you live at high elevation, boil the jars for 25 minutes. Allow them to cool completely. The lids will make popping noises as they cool and seal. If a lid makes a popping noise when pressed down and released, the can has not been properly sealed. You can place unsealed jars in the refrigerator to use immediately, or put them through the canning process again.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разлейте сальсу по чистым банкам для консервирования. Положите крышки на банки с сальсой. Поставьте банки в большую кастрюлю. Осторожно выньте банки из воды. Проверьте герметичность, нажав на крышки. Готово.


Fill the jars up to about a fourth of an inch from the top of each jar. Make sure that you wipe up any spilled jam on the sides or around the mouth of the jar. Place the lid on top of each jar, put the ring around the lid, and tighten until you can’t tighten it anymore. There should be enough water in the pot that when the jars on placed in the water, there will still be about two inches of water left above the jars. Place a washcloth on the bottom of the pot so that when you do put the jars in, they don’t clink around against the bottom of the pot. If you have one, use a canner for the rest of this Part. Bring the water in your canner to a boil. Make sure that there will be at least one to two inches of water above the jars when you put them into the canner. Whether you are using a regular pot or a canner, you will need to let the jars boil for roughly 10 minutes. However, the altitude you are making jam at will affect how long you need to process your jars. Follow these basic processing times:  0 to 1,000 feet (0.0 to 304.8 m): boil your jars for five minutes. 1,001 to 6,000 feet (305.1 to 1,828.8 m): boil your jars for 10 minutes. Above 6,000 feet (1,828.8 m): boil your jars for 15 minutes. Use tongs to get the jars out of the water without burning yourself. Put the jars in a cool, draftless spot to cool down overnight. The next day, either remove the rings or loosen them so that they don’t rust into place (forcing you to smash your glass jars to get at your delicious jam). Before you put your jam away in the pantry, you will want to make sure that the lids are sealed properly so that you don’t go to open a jar only to find that your jam has gone bad. Press down in the center of the lid. If the center doesn’t move, you’re good to go. If it makes a popping noise and the center pops up and down, the lid has not properly sealed. You will need to refrigerate your jam and use it up.

TL;DR in Russian:

Fill the lower part of a steamer with water and heat, on the stove, over medium heat until the water steams and starts to simmer.  Do not boil the water. Do not fill the steamer high enough for water to slip up through the holes of the steamer basket. If you do not have a steamer, you could use a stockpot and a metal colander with fine holes. Make sure that the colander fits over the lip of the stockpot without falling in. Spread the kernels out into a single layer.  Canned corn kernels can also be used, but they will finish cooking in a much shorter amount of time. They may also be soggier once finished. You do not need to thaw frozen corn kernels before use. Allow the corn to steam for 9 to 10 minutes without covering it. Drain once finished. Canned kernels will only need to steam for 3 or 4 minutes. Steamed corn can be served with butter and salt as well as other seasonings.

Fill the pot halfway full with water, or more if necessary to cover the burned area. Add a couple drops of dish soap. Turn on the heat until the water boils. Turn off the heat and let cool enough that you can safely touch the pan and water.  You can replace the dish soap with a small spoonful (or crumbled tablet) of dishwasher detergent. This may discolor aluminum.  Try a different method first when cleaning a cast iron pan, since soap will remove most of your hard work seasoning. If necessary, add more hot, soapy water whenever the old water cools down. Scrub using a tool that won't damage your pan's material:  Enamel, anodized aluminum, or Teflon pan: Use a sponge, nylon brush, or Dobie pad (sponge with protective plastic netting). Stainless steel, copper, or non-anodized (shiny) aluminum pan: Start with gentle options above, then move on to a scouring pad or copper wool. Use a light touch and scrub under the water level to minimize scratches. If there's still burnt gunk in the pan, cover the pan with a layer of baking soda. Add just enough water to cover it and simmer for 15–30 minutes. Let cool and scrub the stain away. Baking soda will react with and ruin aluminum. Because of its abrasive properties, it is not recommended for Teflon or other non-stick surfaces either. Boil white distilled vinegar in the pot. Let cool and scrub off the stain. Vinegar won't dissolve grease like soap does, but it's acidic properties can eat through some stains that the methods above won't remove. This will probably scratch your pan, but at this point you're running low on options. Pick up some cream of tartar from a grocery store's baking aisle if you don't have any. Sprinkle it over the pan and stir in a few drops of vinegar until you get a thick paste. Let sit for ten minutes. Scrub hard to remove the stain, or add more vinegar and bring it to a boil yet again. Many people use baking soda and vinegar for cleaning, but despite the dramatic fizz, this mixture quickly turns into neutral water. Cream of tartar has similar...

Fill the saucepan with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of vegetable oil. Test the temperature using a deep-fry thermometer. Alternatively, you can add a pinch of flour to the oil to see if it immediately browns and bubbles. If it does, then the oil is ready. Combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of cornmeal, and 3 lightly-beaten eggs in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together until you've created a thick, even batter for the pickles.  Use tongs or a fork to lower each pickle into the batter and move it around until it's completely covered in it. Hold it above the batter for a second or two so that the excess batter drips off the pickle. Once you've covered a sauce pan's worth of pickles in the batter, it's time to start frying them. Lower the pickles into the hot oil using a mesh basket or a set of tongs. Fry them until they are crispy and golden brown, which should take about three minutes, depending on the size of the saucepan. The pickles are done when they float easily on the surface of the oil. Once one batch of pickles is fried, move on to the next. Avoid crowding the pan or you'll bring down the temperature of the oil. The pickles will be soggy instead of crispy. Place them on plates covered in paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve the fried pickles immediately with a small bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.

Fill the sitz bath with warm water and place it over the toilet. This will allow you to sit and soak just your genital area. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of epsom salts in the water and stir the mixture till the salts dissolve. Sit on the bath for 10 to 20 minutes, twice a day. You should do sitz baths three or four days or till the cyst improves. You can buy a sitz bath at a pharmacy or medical supply store. If you don't have a sitz bath, you could also just run a few inches of water in your bathtub. More research is needed, but ACV can be used to try to reduce the size and swelling of vaginal cysts. Either run a sitz bath and add 1 cup of ACV or you can soak a cotton ball or swab with ACV. Apply the soaked cotton ball or swab directly to the cyst and hold it there for 30 minutes twice a day until you notice swelling reduce. While ACV is a popular home remedy, scientists caution against relying on vinegar as a medicinal treatment. Fill a hot water bottle with hot water and wrap it in a clean towel. Place this against the cyst to provide some pain relief. You might also try applying a heat pack, so long as you keep another cloth between the pack and your skin. Take care not to burn the delicate tissue in the vaginal area. You can also dip a flannel or cotton cloth in hot water, wring the water out, and apply it directly against the cyst. Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder. Stir until the mixture forms a paste. Use a cotton ball, tampon, or swab to apply the mixture to the cyst. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes once a day. Don't rinse or clean off the paste. Just let it run out naturally.  You may want to wear a sanitary napkin so that the bright turmeric doesn't stain your clothing. Studies have shown that turmeric (curcumin) is an anti-inflammatory. This can reduce the irritation caused by vaginal cysts. Since it may take a few days for the cyst to clear up, you may want to take OTC pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If you feel severe pain that doesn't...

Fill the tank with about two inches of water, then wait for a half an hour.  If there are any leaks, it's better they show up now, rather than when you have filled the entire thing.  If you don't see leaks, fill up the tank about 1/3 full. Do this somewhere where you won't mind water if it does leak. Have sealant on hand so that you can dry the tank and start fixing it. Once you are sure that all the decorations are just the way you want, fill the tank up to just under the rim of the tank, leaving a gap of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Fill the reservoir of the filter with water, and plug it in!  Water should smoothly (and quietly) circulate after a couple of minutes. Plug in the powerhead/pump if you have an under-gravel filter.  Water should start moving vertically in the lift tube(s).  Wait for an hour or two and check that the temperature is still in the safe range, that there are no leaks, and that the water is circulating properly. It will attach with suction cups. Try to position it near or at the mouth of the filter expelling water. This way the water will be evenly heated.  Most of the thermostats on new heaters now come pre-set at an acceptable temperature range of 70-77 degrees Fahrenheit (21-25 degrees Celsius).  Plug in the heater and install your thermometer. Do not turn it on until the tank is filled completely with water.  The fully-submersible heaters are the easiest to use.  Look for one with an adjustable thermostat, since different fish prefer different temperatures. A good rule of thumb is 3-5 watts of heat per gallon of water. Most fish like it between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Basically, keep it between 78-82 degrees F. or 28-32 degrees C in a community tank. Some lights (sometimes included in starter kits) put out so much heat that the water temperature will be drastically altered. When it is turned off, the temp. falls drastically as well. Not good for fish. If this happens, simply go to the hardware store and get the kind that doesn't give off such extreme heat. Remember to turn on the heater...

Fill up a big saucepan and place it on a burner over high heat. This helps flavor the noodles and helps the water boil at a higher temperature, reducing the cooking time. If you have long, thin noodles, like spaghetti, you might need to break them in half to fit them all in the pot.  Don't add the noodles until the water has come to a rolling boil, or they'll end up getting soggy and mushy. Add the noodles gently so you don't splash hot water back onto your skin. until tender. Depending on how thick the noodles are, you may need to boil them from anywhere from 5 minutes to 12. Read the instructions on your noodle package to determine the correct time. Pull out one noodle with a fork or slotted spoon. Taste the noodle. It should be soft enough to easily chew, but still have a bit of bite, meaning the noodle is 'al dente.' You can also try these other ways of testing whether the noodles are done:  Toss a noodle against the wall. If the noodle sticks, it's ready. Look at the ends of the noodles. If they're white compared to the rest of the noodle, they need more time. Hold the noodles up with a fork. If they swing easily back and forth, they're done. Pour the noodles into a colander to drain the water away. Stirring in just enough oil to finely coat the noodles keeps them from sticking together. Wheat and egg noodles are delicious with plain butter, olive oil, and salt and pepper. You can also use them as part of a  casserole, add them to soups, or top with  pasta sauce.

Fill up your sink or washing container with cold water. For every 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water, add ¼ of a cup of bleach. For white cotton or cotton-polyester blends you may use chlorine bleach. Use oxygen bleach or all-fabric bleach on any other fabric.  Bleach is very strong, so always dilute it in water instead of pouring it directly on clothing. Avoid mixing other cleaning chemicals with chlorine bleach, since doing so can cause the bleach to release toxic fumes. Bleach can quickly wear out clothing, so don’t walk away. Drop the stained clothing in the water and let it sit for five minutes. When finished, remove the clothing from the bath.  When using an all-fabric bleach, you may leave the clothing in the mixture for up to 30 minutes. As long as the bleach is diluted in water, it won’t burn your skin. Wear gloves or avoid lingering in the water. Rinse your hands afterwards. Hopefully the dye began coming off right away. No matter what happened, rinse off the bleach immediately. Use warm water for most fabrics and cold water for delicates. Make sure you rinse the entire shirt to ensure all the bleach is removed from it. Move the dyed article to the washing machine. Now, wash it as you would on any other occasion. Your regular detergent is safe to use, and will disinfect the clothing as well as help to remove the dye stain. Dye stains are tough, so one treatment may not be enough. Go back to the sink and refill it with the water and bleach mixture. Soak the clothing, then rinse and wash it a second time. As long as you go through all the steps each time, you can continue treating the clothing until the dye is gone. If this doesn’t work, a strong color remover might be your last resort. Look for ones designed to prepare clothing for dyeing. Unless you want all the color gone, save them for white fabrics.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разведите отбеливатель в холодной воде. Замочите одежду на 5 минут. Сполосните одежду в чистой воде. Постирайте одежду. Повторите весь процесс заново, если пятно не исчезло.


Fill up your sink with hot, soapy water and put any removable burner caps or grates in it to soak while you work on the stove top. This will help remove any crusted food or grease from the burner elements, and also make it easier to clean the stove around your burners.  When you’re done cleaning your stove, scrub the burner elements with a scouring pad and rinse them off before putting them back on the stove. If your burners aren’t removable or have electric components, don’t soak them. Instead, lay a warm, wet cloth over the coils, being careful not to get the electric parts wet, and wipe them down with a paper towel instead of rinsing them. Wipe off anything that isn’t stuck to the surface of your stove and throw it away. You can also use a sponge for this, but a paper towel is often more effective since you can pick loose pieces up with it. Fill a household spray bottle with 1 part water and 1 part distilled white vinegar. Spray the entire surface of the stove, adding a couple of extra sprays over any particularly tough stains. If you do not like the scent of vinegar, replace it with an equal amount of lemon juice, or add a few drops of an essential oil to your vinegar and water mixture. The vinegar should cut through the grease and loosen any crusted-on food. Let it sit for at least 1 minute, or more if your stove top is very greasy or dirty. Run a dish sponge under warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Run the wet sponge over the surface of the stove and wipe up any grease or debris. You can also use the rough side of the sponge on stains, but be careful to scrub gently. Never use steel wool when scrubbing your black stove top, as it may scratch the surface. Take a separate sponge and run it under warm water with no soap. Use this sponge to mop up the soapy water and any remaining grease or crumbs. You may need to squeeze the sponge out and rinse it a few times during the process to get the surface totally clean. To avoid creating streaks on your black stove top, use a microfiber cloth to dry and...

Fill your home with indoor plants to purify the air and increase oxygen in your space. If you have limited room, put plants in the rooms you use the most, like your bedroom and kitchen. If you have pets, research online before purchasing plants to make sure they’re non-toxic. All plants are good at boosting the oxygen in your home, but the following are very efficient:  Aloe English ivy Rubber tree Peace lily Philodendron Snake plant Spider plant Red-edged dracaena Golden pothos Though not scientifically proven, some believe that lamps made from pink Himalayan salt may help to purify the air. They emit a nice pink glow as well. This may not generate enough negative ions to change your environment, but it might help remove some of the toxins in the air around you. Candles made of beeswax don’t smoke when they’re lit, and they don’t release chemicals as they burn. Similar to salt lamps, these candles don’t release enough ions to purify the air completely. However, beeswax candles may be a healthier substitute for more common candles made of paraffin, which usually emit pollutants. You can purchase beeswax candles at your local health food store or online. Never let candles burn unattended.

Fill your tub with warm water to a level that reaches your raw skin. Sprinkle the bathwater with colloidal oatmeal, which is a finely ground oatmeal specifically made for the bathtub. Soak in the oatmeal and warm water for 5-10 minutes. Then pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer. This may soothe raw skin and promote healing. Use uncooked oatmeal if you cannot find colloidal oatmeal. While your skin is healing, put on loose clothing made of a smooth and breathable fabric such as lightweight cotton. This can prevent further irritation of raw skin. It also increases airflow to promote healing. Avoid wearing several layers of clothing. Loosen your clothing to prevent irritation and excess moisture. Minimize or avoid potentially irritating products or allergens. Use products that are labeled scent-, fragrance-, and dye-free. This may help speed healing and prevent further irritation. Even with home care, your raw skin may not heal. Tell your doctor when you noticed the raw skin and what home treatment you’ve done.  They can diagnose potential causes or conditions and get you prompt and proper treatment. See a doctor if your raw skin:  Is so painful that you lose sleep or get distracted from your daily routine Becomes painful Appears infected Won’t heal with self-care

Fill your tub with warm water. Add 1 cup (280 grams) of sea salt and 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Agitate the water with your hand, then climb into the tub. Rest in the tub for 20 minutes before getting out. In a large bowl, combine 2½ cups (700 grams) sea salt with 1 teaspoon of a soap fragrance oil (such a orange blossom) and ½ teaspoon of essential oil (such as lavender). Add 9 tablespoons of dried flowers, such as rose petals, lavender, or calendula. You can use all one type of flower, or a combination. Mix until everything is even, and store the salt in glass mason jars. Use this sea salt in your bath as usual. It is good for a few baths. In a jar, combine 1 cup (280 grams) of sea salt, ½ cup (120 milliliters) of almond oil or jojoba oil, and 10 drops of essential oil. Seal the jar tightly until you are ready to use the scrub. This makes enough scrub for 3 uses.  To use the scrub: get into the bath or shower first, then massage a handful of the scrub onto your damp skin. Rinse the scrub off when you are done. Salt scrubs help buff away dead skin cells. They leave your skin feeling soft and nourished. You can use any essential oil you like, but lavender, eucalyptus, or mint will go best with salt. Fill a small, plastic tub with warm water. Add a handful of sea salt, and swish the water with your hand. Sit down some place comfortable, then lower your feet into the tub. Let them soak for a couple minutes. Consider massaging your feet to loosen dead skin cells and relieve aches. Combine 1 part sea salt with 1 part olive oil. Splash your face with warm water, then massage the scrub into your skin. Take care to avoid the eye area. After a few minutes of massaging, rinse the scrub off using warm water. Finish off by splashing your face with cool water; this will help seal and tighten your pores.

Filled with rich, moisturizing ingredients, such as honey, oils, and butters, this mask will leave your lips feeling silky-smooth. It also contains sugar, which is a gentle exfoliator. If you have dry and flaking skin on your lips, you may want to try a soothing mask instead, as the exfoliating one may be too harsh for you. To make this exfoliating mask, you will need:  1 teaspoon of avocado oil, olive oil, or sweet almond oil 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon coconut oil, shea butter, or Vaseline

Fillet the fish. Holding the tail, cut under the fillet just above the backbone, moving towards the head. Once you cut the fillet off, use your knife to remove the skin, if desired. Use a similar technique: start near the tail, and run the knife under the skin, moving away from you. Pop each fillet in a freezer storage bag, and push out as much air as possible. The bag should seal around the fish as closely as possible. If you are freezing whole fish (minus the guts and scales), you need to dip the fish in saltwater before freezing. The water helps it build a glaze to protect the fish.  Pre-freeze a baking pan by placing it in the freezer for 5 minutes. Stir a teaspoon of salt into a quart of water until the salt dissolves.  Dip the fish quickly, and set them on the tray. Place the tray quickly back into the freezer.  Once the ice has frozen on the outside, repeat the process a couple of times to build up a layer.  Wrap the frozen fish in freezer paper. Secure with tape. Place them back in the freezer. You want to freeze the fish as quickly as possible, and spreading the fish out in the freezer is the easiest way to do that. Fatty fish, such as tuna and salmon, can be frozen for about 3 months. Non-fatty fish, such as cod or flounder, can stay in the freezer for about 6 months. When thawing the fish, make sure it stays in the container it was frozen in to help maintain flavor and texture. To thaw seafood, place it in cold, running water to keep it cool while thawing out the ice.

Filling in your fixed tasks is easy, but structuring the rest of your time can get tricky. Start by writing down everything you have to accomplish on a blank sheet of paper or in a new document on your phone or computer. Prioritize tasks by writing a number or letter next to each one.  For example, write 1 (or A) next to your most important tasks. These will be the tasks you'll write on your schedule first. Write 2 (or B) next to your middle-priority tasks, and 3 (or C) next to your low-priority items. When you write a task in your schedule, you could mark the priority level next to it, or just make an asterisk or exclamation point next to your top priorities. If you’re  planning out your week, make a list of your weekly tasks. Write down your daily tasks if you’re planning a single day. Fill in your schedule starting with the most important tasks. Estimate how long each task will take, and schedule your top priorities during times that you’re most alert and free of distractions. To call attention to high-priority tasks, draw asterisks, underline them, or highlight them.  For example, if you’re most productive in the morning, schedule high-priority projects before lunchtime. Save paper filing and deleting emails for later in the day. Do your best to set reasonable expectations. Don’t try to squeeze homework or a meeting with a client into 30 minutes when you know a full hour is more realistic. After you’ve entered the most important items, you can fill the smaller tasks, like doing laundry or going grocery shopping. As you fill in your tasks, include specific information so you don’t forget what the entry means. If you just jot down shorthand, you might not remember what you meant by “Go to meeting,” or “Do research.”  If you have to go to a meeting, include the time, location, and who will be attending. You might also want to add bullet points on the meeting's topic. Keep in mind you don’t want to write an essay for each task. Just include the necessary details that will help you stay on track.

Filters, selected from the filter menu and applied to either the visible layer or selection, can be used to achieve a wide variety of effects. When each filter is chosen, a menu with a number of options will be brought up. You can experiment or look online for more details for each filter.  For example, you can use the “gaussian blur” to significantly diffuse the pixel on a layer. The “add noise”, “clouds”, and “texture” filters can give texture to your image. Other filters can be used to give dimension or distort images. You will simply have to experiment to find which is right for your project. Levels allows you control of an image’s brightness, color balance and contrast by specifically defining absolute white and absolute black for a given image. This is complex and will require experimentation and practice to execute perfectly. Many tutorials can be found online. Open the levels window by clicking command/control+L. The curves menu allows you to adjust the tones within your image. Bring up this menu by clicking Image -> Adjustments -> Curves. You will see a line going diagonally across a box. The horizontal scale represents the input image and the vertical scale represents the output image. Click on the line to create anchor points and then drag those points to alter the tones in your image. This will give you more control over contrast than the contrast menu will. You can use the transform tools to scale, rotate, skew, stretch, or warp an image. This can be done to a selected area, an entire layer, or a series of layers. Access these tools by clicking Edit -> Transform. This will give you a submenu with a variety of options. Choose which is best for you. Experiment or look up tutorials on the web. Remember to press shift if you wish to keep proportions constrained while using transform tools.

Financial abuse involves taking over a woman’s finances and properties without her consent. The abuser may forcefully take the woman’s financial and identification information in order to gain access to her finances. Financial abuse can also include:  Stealing money from the woman or woman’s family. Forcing the woman to give up information about her bank accounts. Controlling what the woman is allowed to buy, or putting her on an “allowance” against her will. Not giving the woman enough money to properly care for herself or her family. Forcing the woman to cash in bonds, stocks and other assets. While financial abuse is harder to recognize that other forms of abuse, there are some signs that you can look for if you think a woman is being abused financially.  If a woman has a well-paying job but has old, tattered clothes, or looks like she is malnourished, she may be the victim of financial abuse. Notice if the woman is very careful with her money, saves all of her receipts, and very rarely buys things. Note that this could just be the signs of someone who is trying to save money. You may want to bring up the topic by lightly saying something like “Saving up for a big trip?” or something that broaches the topic. Take note of broken or damaged property, or if the woman has suddenly lost a great deal of property. Pay attention if you notice that the woman is unable to access her accounts or go to the bank. This can also be called sexual harassment. Workplace abuse is when a woman is confronted with sexual advancements, verbal or physical actions that insult or bully the woman, or is threatened by co workers, both physically and verbally. Workplace abuse is taking place if:  The woman’s employment is affected by the sexual advancements or abuse of her coworkers. The woman’s ability to get work done is hindered by the sexual harassment or verbal threats she receives. She feels intimidated, scared, or offended by the people doing these actions. If you think a woman is being abused in your workplace, but she has not...

Finasteride, also known as Proscar or Propecia, is a drug commonly used to solve baldness. Although it isn’t designed to improve facial hair growth, some people find it effective, especially when it is paired with a drug like minoxidil. If your doctor approves you for treatment, you take the drug by swallowing a small tablet once a day. If that doesn’t work, you may be able to see results with alternative drug.  Drugs like finasteride work by limiting a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that stops hair growth. Stopping DHT usually increases testosterone, which is responsible for speeding up hair growth. For example, Latisse is a beauty product brushed on eyelashes to grow them out, but some people have found it effective for beards and mustaches.  Since Latisse is expensive, look for beauty products containing bimatoprost or prostaglandin like Latisse does. Use the included applicator to rub it on your face. Doctors detect hormone deficiencies through a simple blood test. If your body isn’t making enough testosterone, then your facial hair will come in slowly or look patchy. Age, injury, and genetics are some of the many reasons behind a hormone problem. To treat this common issue, the doctor will either give you manual injections or give you an alternative option to take at home.  For instance, you may be asked to wear a patch, take a pill, or rub a gel on your skin every day. Some symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, muscle weakness, and loss of muscle mass. Therapy takes as much as a full year to be effective, but then it often causes facial hair to grow in much more rapidly. Minoxidil, known as Rogaine, is a safe hair-treatment foam you can buy from a pharmacy to apply from home. You don’t need a prescription. All you have to do is slather the treatment on your face, then let it sit there for about 4 hours. Repeat this twice a day to stimulate your follicles.  Follow the dosage instructions on the label. Apply only about 1 mL (0.034  fl oz) of the product each time. Consult your doctor if...

TL;DR in Russian:

Посоветуйтесь с врачом насчет приема лекарств, если вы хотите стимулировать рост волос. В случае проблем с уровнем гормонов запишитесь на тестостероновую терапию. Наносите на кожу лица «Миноксидил», если вы хотите использовать безрецептурное средство. В качестве натурального средства втирайте в кожу лица разведенные эфирные масла. Смешайте масло амлы с листьями горчицы, чтобы получить еще одно натуральное средство. Смешайте молотую корицу с соком лайма, чтобы стимулировать рост волос.


Find a basic white button down shirt. Look for a gray or black skirt that almost reaches your knees. Pleats are optional. Pick a V-neck vest in gray or black to wear over your white shirt. Select a tie in Gryffindor colors (scarlet and gold) to wear underneath the vest. You could also wear a button down cardigan instead of a vest, especially if you're not going to be wearing a robe. Look for knee-high socks in a solid color, such as gray or black. Wear black or brown shoes in a simple style, such as Mary Janes or loafers. You can find one at academic bookstores, costume stores, or charity and thrift stores. Just be sure to find one in nice condition, as Hermione wouldn't have had ragged or worn robes. Ask any lawyers or academics in your family if they have a robe you could borrow. If so, be careful not to permanently attach a Hogwarts insignia to the robe.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте белую рубашку. Найдите подходящую юбку. Подберите жилет и галстук. Подберите гольфы и туфли. Наденьте мантию.


Find a clean dish sponge (not a scour pad) and a ballpoint pen with a removable tip.  A cheap, plastic pen works best, as long as you can easily pull off the plastic tip and remove the ink. A slightly see-through pen can make it easier for you to see what you are doing. Use your finger to feather and break up the fibers of the sponge.

Find a comfortable and steady position and if possible mount your binoculars on a camera tripod, or something else steady and fixed so they won’t shake as you use them. With the binoculars you should be able to see Jupiter as a white disk.  You may also be able to see up to four distinct specs of light near Jupiter, these are its four Galilean moons. Jupiter has at least 63 moons in orbit. In 1610, Galileo named the four main moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. How many you can see will depend on their position orbiting Jupiter. Even if you have a telescope, it can be helpful to use binoculars to spot Jupiter in the sky before moving on to the telescope for a more detailed observation. Once you have spotted Jupiter, you can begin a more detailed observation of the planet’s surface through your telescope and identify some of its key features. Jupiter is famous for its darker cloud belts and lighter zones which are appear laterally across the planet’s surface. Try to identify the central light area known as the equatorial zone and the darker equatorial belts north and south of it. When searching for the belts, keep trying. It takes time to learn how to spot the belts through a telescope. It's a good idea to try this with someone who is already familiar with spotting them. One of Jupiter’s most fascinating features is its Great Red Spot. This giant oval storm, larger than Earth, has been observed on Jupiter for more than 300 years. You can locate it at the outer edge of the south equatorial belt. The spot shows clearly how fast surface of the planet is changing; within the space of only an hour, you should be able to see the spot clearly move across the planet.  The intensity of the Great Red Spot varies, and it can’t always be seen. It isn’t really that red, but more of orange or a pale pink colour.

Find a comfortable position where you can stay without moving for 20 or more minutes.  Stretch your back before you begin, if you have been sitting all day. Twisting from the waist to the left and right in a seated position or doing yoga cat/cow and child's poses can release tension so that it is easier to focus on the meditation. Relax your shoulders. Lift them up to your ears as you breathe in, then drop them back down. Keep your back very straight. Place your hands in your lap. Zazen meditation suggests that you place your left hand in your right hand, palms up and place your left thumb on top of your right thumb, as if you were cradling an egg. This should make a circle, suggesting infinity and also the unconscious--your non-dominant side being allowed to take over. Some meditators find it difficult to mediate with their eyes open, while some struggle to meditate with their eyes closed because drowsiness becomes too much of a problem. Consider actively focusing on "nothing." Look not at the blank wall, but through the wall. Blink when you need to blink. Most meditation is not more complicated than sitting quietly and breathing, when you get right down to it. Within that simplicity, however, is endless complexity. Begin counting down from 10. You can focus on the counting to get your mind to start calming. If you have more time and this practice is helpful, consider counting down from 50 or 100.  Breathe in deeply for a count of 8 seconds, hold the breath for 2 to 4 seconds, and breathe out over a count of 8 seconds. Repeat this breathing pattern for 2 minutes. Feel the breath coming into your body and going out of your body. Imagine the oxygen filling your body and coursing through your blood. Feel the oxygen come into all the parts of your body, and continue focusing on your breath.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сядьте на подушку или стул. Закройте глаза или смотрите на стену. Сосредоточьтесь на дыхании.


Find a comfortable well-lit place to work where all your materials are nearby. For this tutorial, you will need:  Your sketchbook, paper, or card stock. A pencil An eraser Scissors (optional) Markers, color pencils, or crayons (optional) Make sure to give yourself plenty of room on the top, bottom, and sides of your oval. This will be the body of the crab. You can draw this oval in one continuous stroke or connect two sideways "C" shapes to make this shape. Crabs have two small eyes with a tiny antenna coming from each one, like eyebrows. You will want to draw these at the top of your oval in the middle.  Find the center of your oval and draw two small circles next to each other on the top line. Make sure to space the circles far enough away that you can clearly see both of them. You may also want to color them in completely with your pencil or a black marker. Above each circle, add a short line sticking up and out, from the inside of the circle. This means that the two antenna lines should be directly across from each other, with the circle eyes on the outside. Drawing the claws of your crab is a three step process. On the top of the oval, toward the edges, add a small oval, tall-ways, to each side. If you have trouble getting these ovals the same size, don't worry, some crabs have one claw that is larger than the other.  On top of each oval, draw a larger oval tilted diagonally inward toward the eyes. Your top ovals should look like they are almost facing each other while reaching upward. Add the pincers on the top of the larger oval. To draw the pincers, hold your pencil at the top of the oval and draw a short curved line reaching upward. End this line with a pointed tip, and take the line back down to the center of the top of the oval. From the center of the top of the oval, draw a shorter curved line, curving toward the first (as if to complete a circle), and end that line in a point as well, before taking it back down the the base of the oval. Your crab can have three legs on each side, all below the...

Find a container large enough to stick your hands in. Fill the container about half way full with acetone.  Acetone is the main component in most nail polish removers. It can be found at most general and drug stores. Do not fill the container completely full. If you have sensitive skin, consider diluting the acetone with water.

TL;DR in Russian:

Налейте немного ацетона в открытую емкость.


Find a container that is 12 (h) x 12 (w) x 20 (l) inches in size. Avoid containers with patterns on the sides or bottom, as it will make removing the gel more difficult. Measure the inside wall 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the bottom of the container and mark it with a permanent marker. This will be the line that you fill the water to. Coat the entire inside with spray to help release the gel when it is finished. Wipe any excess spray out to avoid cloudiness in the finished gel.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите большой пластиковый контейнер. Измерьте и пометьте форму. Распылите на внутренние стенки контейнера жир для готовки.


Find a deep conditioning treatment that's right for your hair type. There are many products on the market, and while they're all made to restore moisture to hair, you should find one that's tailored for your specific needs.  If you have kinky, textured hair, look for products made specifically for kinky hair. If you have fine hair, look for products that are described as "light" or "weightless." Products made with heavier oils will make your hair look weighed down. If you have curly hair, look for products designed to keep your frizz at bay. Use a gentle shampoo that won't strip your hair too much. Avoid shampoos made with sulfates, which are abrasive cleaning agents that cleanse hair of its natural oils and lead to dryness and breakage. Squeeze a dollop about the size of a quarter into your hands and rub your hands together.  Then apply the product to your hair, beginning about halfway down the shaft and moving towards the tips of your hair.  Then spread the any product that remains on your hands from the roots to the tips. Pay special attention to the tips, which tend to get drier than the rest of your hair. If necessary, use a wide-toothed comb to distribute the product. Deep conditioning treatments require at least 10 minutes to get to the core of each strand of your hair.  Check the instructions on the product you are using, as some may suggest being left on longer, but most should work in 30 minutes or less.  You may want to keep the conditioner in place by covering your head with a plastic shower cap, but this is optional. Some products suggest using hair dryer to heat up the product in your hair, which allows it to get absorbed into your hair more easily. Use a blow dryer on a low setting to direct hot air at your head and thoroughly heat up the product. Make sure the hair dryer doesn't get too hot, since you don't want to melt the plastic cap if you are using one. Remove the shower cap and rinse your hair with cool water, which will tighten the hair shaft and make it look shiny. After rinsing, towel...

Find a deep stainless steel pan and fill it 1/3 full with lard or frying oil. Next, place the pan over medium-high heat for five to eight minutes, or until the oil bubbles. Avoid using low smoke-point oils like olive oil. Appropriate frying oils include:  Peanut oil (don’t use if you have nut allergies) Coconut oil Rendered animal fat, also called lard The oil needs to be 385 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (196 to 204 Celsius) to properly fry the pork rinds. If you have a cooking thermometer, hold the metal end in the oil for a few seconds to get a temperature reading. If not, dip the end of a piece of bread in the oil.  If the oil vigorously bubbles around the bread, the oil is hot enough. If the oil barely bubbles around the bread, the oil needs to heat up longer. Drop three to four pieces of pork skin in the hot oil. Let them fry for thirty to sixty seconds. Once the pork rinds are large, puffy, and floating on the surface of the oil, they’re finished cooking.  Fry the skins in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Use a metal slotted spoon to remove the cooked pork rinds onto a paper-towel lined plate. Mix a small bowl of seasonings and sprinkle them liberally over the fresh pork rinds. Many people prefer a simple blend of salt and pepper. However, a variety of seasoning mixtures can be used, including:  A spicy-sweet blend of 1.5 teaspoons salt, 0.5 teaspoons ancho chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of maple sugar A teaspoon of Chinese five spice and a teaspoon of salt  A teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika Keep any leftovers in an airtight plastic container or re-sealable bag. If the container isn’t airtight, the rinds will become stale. Eat any leftover pork rinds within a week.  Pork rinds can be stored on the counter or in your pantry. If your pork rinds begin to smell rancid, don’t eat them. This means that they’ve spoiled.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разогрейте масло или смалец (топленый жир). Проверьте, достаточно ли нагрелось масло. Обжаривайте шкурки в масле, пока они не раздуются. Добавьте приправу и подавайте шкварки к столу. Сохраните шкварки, которые не съели сразу. Готово!


Find a firm fruit, that gives a little when squeezed without collapsing or leaking. A relatively smooth skin is also a good sign, with slight bumps instead of major raised nubs. Hard, unripe fruits are edible but won't have as strong a taste. A wet, soft fruit is overripe, and may be fermented (edible with a different, strong taste) or rotted (unpleasant). Crushed or soaked peels are almost always rotted. Different varieties have different skin colors, but most are red, orange, or yellowish when ripe. Brown fruits have usually gone bad. Grasp the nub of the stem and peel away the pink or yellowish-brown skin at one end. The white, semi-translucent flesh inside is the edible portion of the fruit. You may want to peel the fruit over a bowl to catch the dripping juice.  If the lychee has been left out a while, the skin will be harder and tougher to peel. Use your fingernail, teeth, or a knife to cut a slit. Soaking the fruit will make it easier to peel as well.  Completely transparent flesh, mottled flesh, or yellow-brown flesh mean the lychee may be fermented or rotten. A perfectly ripe lychee has a soft skin that separates easily from the flesh. You can gently squeeze these fruits to pop out the flesh inside. If this doesn't work, just tear off the skin in small pieces using your fingers. The skin is inedible. Throw it away or compost it. A large seed lies in the center of the fruit. Gently tear apart the flesh with your fingers, pick out the glossy brown seed, and discard it. The seed is slightly poisonous. Fresh lychees have sweet, crisp, juicy flesh, with a signature scent that you can't find in the canned product. Enjoy it raw, or keep reading for more uses of this fruit. A thin, brownish membrane lies on the interior of the flesh, where the seed was. Just eat this with the rest of the lychee. It adds a slight crunch without affecting the flavor. Removing it tends to squeeze out a lot of the tasty juice. Refrigerate lychee wrapped in a dry paper towel, inside a perforated plastic bag or a container with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите спелые личи. Снимите кожуру с конца личи. Сдавите или разорвите кожуру. Извлеките косточки. Съешьте личи. Правильно храните оставшиеся фрукты.


Find a flat, rough rock or piece of concrete. Turn the can upside down and rub the raised rim against this hard, rough surface, pressing down slightly while you do. If the can contains only liquid, you can keep it upright, and use the tip of a spoon to rub against a small section of the outermost groove instead, touching the raised rim of the can top. Eventually, the crimped edge of the can should come apart, leaking moisture through the hole you made. When you notice this happen, turn the can right side up again. Hold the can upright on a flat surface, and squeeze the sides with both hands. Do this gently at first, gradually squeezing harder, since popping the can lid out too vigorously could cut your finger.  Alternatively, whack the side of the can against a hard object. This is messier, but may keep your fingers safer. Another option is to find the hole and pry it open with a spoon, screwdriver, or other tool, working your way around the rim. Do not use a knife, as it could easily slip and injure your hands.

TL;DR in Russian:

Find a flat, smooth surface, like a laundry table. Position the shirt in the middle of the surface with the button-side (front) facing down. Stretch out the sleeves to each side. Make sure that the edges of the shirt do not fall off the sides of the surface. Fully button up the shirt from top to bottom. Button up the cuffs as well.

TL;DR in Russian:

Find a foundation color that matches his skin tone and apply it evenly to his face. Apply a matching powder over the foundation to finish the base of the makeup. Eye makeup will help accent his eyes and make them look bigger. Eye makeup is a great way to make a boy look more feminine.  Apply eyeshadow on his eyes to accentuate his eye color. Consider using two or three colors to blend onto his eyelid to make his eyes look bigger. Use eyeliner to draw a line at the base of the eyelid. This will accent the eyes and give a finished look to the eye makeup. Finish with mascara on his eyelashes. Use black mascara if he has dark eyelashes and brown mascara if he has light eyelashes. For a fun, festive look you can use colored mascara, like blue or purple, to make his eyelashes pop. Blush is a great addition to dress a boy like a girl because it makes the face look more feminine. Apply the blush to the apples of his cheeks and his cheekbones. The finishing touch to makeup is adding color to the lips. You can line his lips with lip liner and then fill in the rest with lipstick. Red, Pink, and Neutral colors are good choices to pick for his lipstick.

TL;DR in Russian:

Тональный крем и пудра. Макияж для глаз. Нанесите румяна на щеки. Губная помада.


Find a freecycle network within your area or ask friends and relatives for old unwanted items.  Look for furniture made from real wood that can be refinished.  Unless it is in good condition, avoid second-hand plywood, particle board, or laminate furniture. While these surfaces can be cleaned and repainted, refinishing techniques such as sanding or sawing can release airborne pollutants such as formaldehyde. Check your local newspaper or Craigslist for garage sales in or near your neighborhood. You are more likely to find things for free if you go later in the day, preferably after 12:00 p.m. Use recycled wallpaper to decoupage old lamps, vases, or furniture for free. You can also use wallpaper to line shelves or the bottoms of drawers. For example, move a bookshelf from the living room to your bedroom.  Look for design inspiration in your own house. Use a painting, decorative pillow, piece of clothing, or floor rug as the basis for a new design theme or color palette in your room. Ask permission from housemates before moving anything.

Find a go-to spot where you can know you can go and focus on your studies.  This applies to getting quality study time in general, which is all the more important if you’re working as well.  Whether it’s a particular nook in the library or a clean desk in your bedroom, make sure the time you spend studying is productive by placing yourself in an environment free of distraction.  Make sure to avoid rooms with televisions or other things that may draw your attention. Turn your phone off, and put on headphones if other people are around.  If you listen to music, choose music without lyrics to help you focus. Get in the practice of keeping everything you need to study all together, perhaps in the place you study or in a backpack. It may be tempting to get all of your school work done in one or two marathon sessions each week. However, your memory and focus will work better in one or two hour sessions.  Accordingly, avoid trying to get all of your schoolwork done in one sitting.  To keep sessions consistent, get in the habit of studying at the same time four or five days a week. The regularity that results from a consistent study schedule will also make your study sessions more productive.  Your mental focus will be improved, as your brain will anticipate focusing on schoolwork for that part of the day. Having regularly scheduled study sessions also means you can occasionally miss a study session as long as you get back into the routine as quickly as you’re able. This will help you avoid procrastinating, and it will make your study sessions more productive.  Sitting down with a specific task or goal in mind will provide direction that can help you get right to work. Further, if you have multiple tasks to complete, you should start with the most challenging or most important task first.  Since more emotional and mental effort will be required to comprehend challenging material, address it first while your mind and body are fresh and focused.  More routine, busy work can be accomplished as you coast through the...

Find a good place in your home for the hammock swing. Once you've found an appropriate spot, drill a hole in the ceiling and insert a hook.  Ensure that the ceiling is strong enough and make sure the hook is securely in place. Check the hole and the hook from time to time because as it can start to come loose after a lot of swinging. Make sure that there is space to swing. The swing must be at least 14 inches (35.6 cm) away from any barriers or hard surfaces, such as walls or edges of furniture. Hang the spring on the hook. The spring will allow the swing to gently bounce while swinging. Measure the length of the chain that you need, depending on how low you want to set the hammock swing. You shouldn't make the swing too high, in fact it should be relatively close to the floor.  Measure from the top and do not forget to include the dimension of the swing in the measurement. Measure the height of your hammock swing from the steel ring to the bottom of the swing. Consider putting a mattress beneath the swing, that way if your baby falls they will not be hurt. Place the chain on the spring. At the other end put the carabiner or a quick link. Cut a "U" shape into each end of the wooden board. Each "U" should be ¾ inches wide and 1 ½ inches into the board.  Pull the free ends of the swing fabric through these holes. Make sure the bottom of the swing is in the middle. Secure the ends of the fabric by tying them up with additional ties. The steel ring should be in the middle of the fabric. Make sure the bottom of the swing is centered and that it stays flat. Secure the steel ring with another tie to make it more stable. Attach the steel ring onto a carabiner. Place your baby's head where the elastic is, and your baby's legs where the tied strips are. Tie the straps that are stitched to the bottom of the swing together to close the swing and ensure that the baby does not fall out.  Always put your baby lying on her back and check her from time to time. Do not leave the baby out of your sight. Make sure that the swing...

Find a group of people that you can study with. The text is very complicated and having some help to get through it will be very important. They will also help keep you motivated and inspired. Discuss what you have read with others who may have more experience reading and studying the Bible than you do. Let the Bible inspire you. Increasing your knowledge about Biblical Principles will only come after years of dedication, hard work, and just plain reading. The Bible is not just one book from Genesis to Revelation.  There are 66 books, each from different authors at different times. Several authors have written more than one book, but they were written at different times for different reasons. You will find similar subjects and meanings throughout all the books of the Bible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Find a hard, flat surface to set your register on. Ideally, this will be on a countertop with room for customers to place their merchandise. Plug the register directly into an outlet (do not use an extension cord). Batteries provide backup memory for the cash register in case of power failure and should be installed before you program any functions in the cash register. Take off the receipt paper cover and locate the battery compartment. You may need to use a small screwdriver to unscrew the lid to this area. Install the batteries according to the directions on the machine. Put the lid back on the battery compartment.  Some battery compartments are located underneath the receipt paper area. Change batteries once per year to ensure that they will work properly. Take off the cover to the receipt paper compartment. Make sure the end of your paper roll has a straight edge so it will be fed easily into the paper feeder. Feed the paper roll through so that it will run up through the front of the register where you will be able to tear off receipts for customers. Press the FEED button so that the register will catch the receipt and feed it through. The till drawer usually has a key that locks it up for safety. Do not lose this key. You can just leave the key in the drawer when it is unlocked so that it is easily found when you need to lock it up. Some cash registers have an ON/OFF switch on the back or side of the machine. Others may have a key on the front top of the machine. Turn on the machine, or turn the key to the REG (register) position. Newer registers may have a MODE button instead of a physical key. Press the MODE button to scroll into a REG or operational mode. Most registers have buttons that can be programmed to categorize similar items. These categories, or departments, can also be associated with taxable or non-taxable items. You can also set the date and time.  The program function is usually accessed by either turning the key to PRG or P, or pressing the mode button to PROGRAM. Other registers may...

Find a hot meal and possibly other services at soup kitchens, which are commonly run by churches and charities. Soup kitchens also offer networking and outreach opportunities. You can get to know other people who are living on the streets, and may find someone who can help you better your circumstances.  If you can’t find a soup kitchen, try religious facilities, which usually offer some type of charitable support. You may be able to get a few grocery items or a store gift-card. Ask the soup kitchen staff for information about related services, programs that help the homeless, and opportunities for assistance in getting off the streets, but don’t ask them to give you money or let you stay with them. . While you want to avoid walking up to people and soliciting them for help, panhandling for food can keep you fed while you live on the streets. People are often more willing to donate food than to give money. If you are able to blend in with other customers, go into grocery stores and collect the free samples. Don’t take multiple samples from the same booth unless the person working the table gives you permission. Keep track of which store offers the most samples so that you can return there.  Be sure to act like a customer. It’s a good idea to make a small purchase, even if it’s just a single piece of fruit or a pack of noodles. Visit farmer's markets after closing to see if you can get leftover produce for free or very cheap. . Stores and restaurants throw out food every day, and some of that food could be going into your stomach. Dumpster diving has become common because even people who can afford food choose to do it.  Check the area around the dumpster so that you can avoid confrontations with people who may not want you to remove items from that dumpster, such as a business owner or someone who already dives there. When in doubt, don’t eat food that might have gone bad. Most chain grocery stores throw out extra food even before the best by date. Look in bins behind stores such as Walmart, Kroger, or...

Find a large, flat wall with no windows and a hard floor, and decide who will start the game. Establish the parameters of the court by either marking lines or using ready made boundaries like bushes or lines on the concrete. The game starts once the first player serves the ball, or throws the ball, at the wall. Ensure that the ball must bounces once before it reaches the wall.  You may play with just 2 players or with multiple players at once. Decide the order of players to keep things organized. Depending on the size of the court and the variations of the rules, players must determine how far they are allowed to stand from the wall prior to the serve. For example, some rules indicate that everyone must stand back behind the throwing line prior to the first serve, in line with the server. Other rules state that only the thrower must stand behind the line. Do not choose a wall that you may damage or is close to items that you can damage like windows or cars. It also is ideal to find a wall where the ground has a slight decline towards the players. As a receiving player, allow the ball to bounce once after it has hit the wall and then return it. Return the ball by hitting it with your hand and letting it reach the wall directly, without bouncing on the ground. Follow your order. If you’re first, that means you're the server! Serve the ball. If your turn is second, third, or fourth, but you play the ball out of order, you are out. The ball is out when it bounces on a boundary line or outside of the boundaries completely, hits the ground before it hits the wall, bounces twice before a player is able to return it, or if a receiving player doesn’t let the ball bounce after it has hit the wall. If a receiving player fumbles the ball in an attempt to return it, she must run to the wall. Another player may then go for the ball in an attempt to throw it at the wall before the fumbling player reaches it. If the fumbling player does not touch the wall before the ball gets there, she is out of the game.  If the fumbling...

TL;DR in Russian:

Бросьте мяч об стену. Позвольте следующему игроку принять мяч. Продолжайте игру до тех пор, пока мяч не выйдет в аут. Игрок, упустивший мяч во время игры, выбывает, если не успеет вовремя добраться до стены. Продолжайте игру дальше, после того как игрок выбыл.


Find a list of clubs and extracurricular activities offered at your school. Joining these school activities looks good on college applications, helps you make friends, and opens you to new experiences.  Sometimes only joining the club is not enough for a college. If you enjoy the club or extracurricular activity, consider going out for a leadership role, like a treasurer, secretary, or even president. Find clubs and extracurricular activities that truly interest you. Don't  just join a club because you feel you should. High school is a period in your life where you are juggling many time commitments; make sure you are enjoying the activities where you are spending your time. Don't be a club hopper. Colleges prefer you to be involved in a few activities for a longer period of time instead of many clubs for only a short amount of time. Plus, being involved in less clubs for most of your high school career allows you to build relationships with fellow members and deepen your involvement in the club or activity. Getting a job in an area of interest can help you develop your interests and certain skills that can be helpful when applying to college. Volunteering is not only personally rewarding, but also helps you discover interests you may never have known you had before.  If the time demands during the school year are too much for you, then try a summer program. Many organizations have short, summer internship programs for high school students. Summertime can also be the perfect period for a part-time job.  Volunteering, working, and getting internships can give you valuable experiences outside of the classroom. Be careful not to overdo it. Effective time management can help you balance all of your different tasks. The keys to a successful education are good reading and writing skills. The more you practice outside of the classroom, the better student you will become.  Good students usually make reading a habit. They read everything from newspapers, to the internet, to books and comic books. The important element...

Find a local wildlife guide at a library or bookstore, or search online for information on local birds. Choose one or more species you want to attract, and look up their nesting habits to discover what shape and style of nest will be most effective. If you live in North America, NestWatch is an excellent resource for nesting information, and one you can expand with your own data. This is an easy way to attract birds, and might be worth it even if you end up building a full nest as well. If you managed to find specific nesting information, you'll know what materials to leave, but you can't go wrong with a few items from the following list, left in visible locations:  Rigid twigs (for platform nest species) and flexible ones (for cup nest species) Yard clippings such as dry grass and straw, bits of bark and moss, dead leaves, etc. Human or animal hair or fur (no longer than 6 inches / 15 centimeters) Yarn or string Mud, spiderwebs, and/or caterpillar cocoons to help birds bind nesting materials together Never leave out materials that have come into contact with harsh chemicals, including dye, pesticides, or anti-flea treatments. Dryer lint and clothing rags are not recommended. If you want to attract birds that make nests in existing holes, leave dead tree stumps and fallen logs in the yard. Living trees and bushes will attract more visible nests from other species, especially if the plants are native to your area. For best results, plant a "staircase" of grass or moss, flowering perennials, shrubs, and trees. . If there aren't obvious crevices or hollows in your yard, building a nesting box or birdhouse is a simple carpentry project. Make sure the birdhouse is constructed to match the size of the birds you want to attract, or the size of the birds you see flying near your home.  For a higher chance of success, follow birdhouse building instructions specific to common North American species. Clean out the birdhouse regularly whenever birds are not nesting. Many birds prefer to make their own nest rather than...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте о гнездовых привычках птиц вашей местности. Оставьте во дворе материал для постройки гнезда. Обеспечьте разнообразие растений. Смастерите скворечник. Сделайте птичье гнездо.


Find a maple tree or a grove of maple trees. Walk around and collect the seedpods, also known as whirligigs because of the way they whirl when they fall from the tree. The seedpods look like brown wings or helicopter propellers. During the spring and summer, the seedpods are green and still attached to the tree’s branches. Pluck them from the tree and place them on a windowsill to dry out until they are brown. Take two wings and rub them against each other until the silver hairs begin to fall off. Do this until the majority of the silver hairs have fallen off. Repeat this process for all of the wings until you have about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of silver hairs.Alternatively, you can use a razor blade to remove the silver hairs. Run the blade against the wings to remove the silver hairs. Pick up the piece of paper and slide the hairs into a sealable plastic bag. Store the hairs in a dark place, like a cupboard, for two to three days to dry them out further. This will increase their itching intensity.  You can also store the hairs in a glass vial. For cautionary purposes, place a label on the bag that says, “CAUTION. DO NOT TOUCH OR THROW AWAY.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Соберите 15–20 кленовых стручков. Разотрите крылья между собой. Переместите волоски в пластиковый пакет.


Find a new spot in the garden for your divided daffodil offsets. They will prefer a sunny patch, although they’ll tolerate partial shade for some of the day. A daffodil plant needs to receive at least three hours of sunlight per day. Daffodils need a well-drained soil, so try to avoid planting them anywhere that puddles form and don’t easily drain away. Daffodil bulbs rot easily in wet ground.  It’s a good idea to incorporate plenty of compost or organic matter, such as well-rotted horse manure, into the soil. If you aren’t sure how much to use, cover your soil to a depth of 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) with the manure and then mix it with the existing soil. If your soil is clay heavy and tends to retain water, you might may want to add some grit into the soil to improve drainage. To plant each bulb, dig a hole three times as deep as the bulb is wide—that’s around 6 inches (15.2 cm) in depth for a 2 inch (5.1 cm) bulb.  If you can, add a trowel full of compost to the bottom of the hole for the bulb to sit on. Put the bulb in the hole with the pointed end facing upwards. Fill the hole with soil and water well. You might like to top-dress (add a top layer) of fertilizer or mulch. Now go back to the area where your bulbs were growing originally and replant the bulbs using the same approach. Having such a crowd of bulbs in this patch may have taken a lot of the nutrients from the soil, so it’s especially important to refresh the ground with fertilizer in this spot. In the fall, give your transplanted bulbs a good feed with a water-soluble fertilizer. During the fall the roots are most actively growing, so the fall feeding will help your transplanted bulbs get established in their new home. All bulbs will appreciate an annual top dressing of fertilizer or mulch.

TL;DR in Russian:

Для пересадки нарциссов найдите в саду солнечное место. Посадите луковицы нарцисса в хорошо дренированную, удобренную компостом почву.

Подкормите пересаженные луковицы водорастворимым удобрением.


Find a nut that fits snugly around the screw head. Bond them together using a two-part metal-to-metal epoxy, often sold as "weld bond." Wait for the epoxy to cure as directed on the label, then grip the nut with a socket wrench and rotate. If you don't have a nut the right size, you can adhere a smaller nut to the top of the screw head. This will not provide as much leverage. Breaking the screw usually relieves pressure on the screw shaft, making it easier to pull out — but if it doesn't work, you've eliminated most other options. Choose a drill bit slightly larger than the shaft of the screw, so the head detaches completely when you drill through. Start with a center punch to make a hole in the exact center of the screw, and take care to drill directly through the center. Once the screw head breaks off, grip the screw shaft with locking pliers and rotate counter-clockwise to remove. If the screw head isn't flat, file it down or grind it with a dremel and a pointed grinding stone attachment. Center punch and drill once you have a flat surface to work with. If all else fails, hire a machine shop to remove the screw using electrical discharge machining (EDM). This may be your best option if you used a screw extractor that broke off inside the screw.

Find a pair of nitrile gloves (medical grade), goggles, and a mask for your safety. The batteries contain acid which can cause severe damage, so make sure you keep your face and hands covered. Once you have your safety equipment in place, move on to the next step. If you get any of the chemicals on your skin, clean it off with soap and water. Leaving the chemicals untreated can cause irritation. Make sure to unhook the negative cable first, then follow with the positive cable. The negative cable is the black cable, and the positive is the red. You risk getting a shock if you touch the positive first. When putting the connection back on the terminals, connect in reverse order (positive then negative).   Replace the cables and clamps to avoid future problems if damage is extensive.  If you see any cracks or damage on the battery, do not touch the battery. You will need a professional to have the battery replaced.  If the connections are too tight, try using WD-40 to loosen them. Check to see if there are any other issues with the battery during this process. If there are any other cracks or seepage, find a professional to replace the battery for you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте защитную одежду. Гаечным ключом отсоедините кабели от аккумулятора. Влажной тряпкой протрите аккумулятор.


Find a pan that is large enough to fit your shoes in it, then fill it with enough water to submerge only the rubber soles. Make sure that the water is lukewarm and clean of any dirt or debris.  Remember when filling it that as you put the shoes in the pan, the water level will rise. If need be, you can soak one shoe at a time. Once the water level is about right, add one squirt of a mild dish detergent to the water and mix it thoroughly. The dish detergent is integral to the soak working, as water alone likely won’t break up stuck on grime. If you are soaking white rubber on white shoes, you may even choose to use a very small amount of bleach rather than dish soap. Leave the rubber portion of your shoe submerged in water and allow it to soak for a few minutes. This should allow it time to break up any stuck on dirt and grime and make it easier to scrub what’s left off of the rubber.  Check to ensure that only the rubber is soaking in the water. You may choose to allow the shoes to soak even longer than 15 minutes if they’re really dirty. After the rubber has soaked for a while, remove the shoes and use the soapy water to scrub away any remaining bits of dirt and grime that are still stick to the shoe’s rubber. Avoid using a steel bristle brush as it may cause damage to the shoe.  If need be, you can soak the shoes again after this step. If you are using a bleach solution, you may want to wear gloves to avoid any potential skin irritations.

TL;DR in Russian:

Find a piece of bamboo cane that’s between 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) long and 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) in diameter and cut it at the base.  When it comes to bamboo fishing pole, bigger is not necessarily better. Larger poles can be cumbersome to hold and awkward to transport. It’s probably best to cut three or four pieces of bamboo at a time, in case your first piece breaks after you’ve dried it out and you have to begin the process again Use a small sharp knife to trim away any leaves or nubs, as close to the main body of the cane as possible.  Find a joint at the thicker end of the cane and saw through it. This will ensure that the butt of your fishing pole has a closed end. Take a piece of sandpaper and used it to smooth the body of the fishing pole as much as possible. The next step is to dry out the cane pole. Tie a piece of string around the narrow end of the pole and suspend it from the ceiling. This will ensure that the cane dries evenly and as straight as possible.  Dry the cane pole in a warm, dry place but do not exposed it to direct sunlight. Sunlight will dry out the cane too quickly, causing it to become brittle. Depending on temperature and humidity levels, the cane will take a few weeks to several months to dry out fully. You will know it’s ready when it turns a tan color. When the cane is dry pick it up and give it a few test swings through the air to make sure it doesn’t break or bend. If it does, try another piece. You want your fishing pole to be as straight as possible, so if it dries with a slight curve you can straighten it out by weighing it with bricks. Take some 20 lb (9.1 kg) Dacron line and tie 1 end 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) above the “handle” of the fishing pole.  Run the line along the length of the pole until you get to the end. This will allow the pole to bend all the way through when you’re fighting a fish, which will prevent the line from snapping. Then take some extra pieces of fishing line and use them to tie the running line to the fishing pole at 2 or 3 different points...

Find a place that is meaningful to both of you. Tell him to accompany you there in the evening, and say that you should both dress up, even if the place isn't particularly fancy. Here's what you should do once you get there:  Hold his hands and look into his eyes. Tell him why you love the special place you brought him to, whether it's where you had your first date, where you fell in love, or where you shared your first kiss. Tell him that you can't wait to share so many more memories with him. Say, "We're pregnant." If you're the romantic type and are known for writing loving letters and poems, then writing a poem that tells your husband you're pregnant won't be a stretch. Here's how you can deliver the poem:  Have a romantic evening in or even go out to your favorite dimly-lit restaurant. Then share your message with him. Give him the poem and say, "There's something I want you to read." Wait for his eyes to fill with tears as he reacts. Find the most romantic restaurant in town, and give him the news there. After you've had some time to relax and have a great conversation, you can deliver the big news. Here's how you can do it:  Talk to the restaurant in advance to ask to have a slice of cake with "congratulations" written on it. When he asks you why he's being congratulated, you can look confused and wait for him to figure it out. Give him a romantic card that tells him how you feel. Have him flip it over to the back, where you've written the big news.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сообщите новости в памятном месте. Напишите ему любовное стихотворение, которое расскажет ему, что вы беременны. Расскажите ему в романтичном ресторане.


Find a place that is quiet, well-lit, and comfortable. You can even make a reading nook in your room. Constant distractions from the book in front of you can make it hard to concentrate, and no one likes reading the same passages over and over. Finding the proper environment in which to read can be just as important as finding the right book for many people.  Sometimes, people may suffer from light sensitivity, which can cause headaches when you read. Avoid high-contrast print, glossy paper, and fluorescent lighting. You don't have to read only at home, either. Check out the coffee shops, cafes, or bars in your area. Try to set aside time to read every day. Even if it just starts as ten minutes on a lunch break, twenty minutes on the bus, and fifteen minutes before bed at night, that's suddenly forty-five minutes that day you've spent reading. You can even turn this into a little game with yourself. Set a daily goal for reading time and give yourself a reward when you hit it. Eventually, you may come to find reading is its own reward. You never know when you might find a few extra minutes to read. Sitting in waiting rooms, commuting on public transportation, waiting at a restaurant for a friend to arrive, etc. are all situations where we tend to pull out our phones and send text messages or check Facebook. By having a book in your bag, you can help develop your love of reading. If you have an e-reader, you'll be able to carry an entire library around with you. The choices are endless. Whether it's in a pocket notebook, a memo on your phone, or someplace else, try to keep a reading list of books you hear about that you want to read. Remembering titles and authors is difficult and drawing a blank once you're at the bookstore or the library is frustrating. By having a list handy, you'll always remember what books sounded interesting. If you're at the library or bookstore and see a book that intrigues you, snap a photo of the cover. That way, you'll remember it for later. When you find an author whose style you...

Find a place to lay out your towel and spend some time looking around, enjoying the sun.  Scan the area for attractive girls, but do so in a friendly, non-leering manner.  If you catch a girl’s eye, nod and smile or say hello, and then go back to looking around.  Make sure to look over again in a few minutes to see if she is checking you out. Strutting up and down the beach or posing on your towel might get you looked at, but isn’t likely to score you a date.  Girls will find you more attractive to you if they see you out playing and having a good time.  Get up a game of catch with your friends.  Go for a swim.  Fly a kite.  Start building a sandcastle.  If you run into a girl during any of these activities, take the opportunity to strike up a conversation. Get up a game of Frisbee or catch with your buddies, or begin building a sandcastle.  If you see a girl watching you, give her a smile and wave her over to join you. If she smiles back, but doesn’t come over right away, jog over and ask her if she’d like to play.  Sometimes a girl will act shy and say “no,” or “I don’t know” but in a coy way that suggests she’d really like to play.  If this seems like the case (smiling and giggling are good indicators) give her some encouragement.  “Oh, come on, you’ll be brilliant!” or “I’ll bet you throw a great spiral” would both work well. If she says “no” and does not look amused or inviting, take the hint and let her be.  You won’t receive any positive attention by being pushy or aggressive. Another way to get a girl’s attention while playing is to accidentally overthrow a ball, or miss a catch so that your ball or Frisbee lands near the girl and you have to approach her to retrieve it.  Use this as an excuse to say hi and start a conversation.  (You might start with, “Sorry about that, the sun was in my eyes.” Or “My friend can’t throw to save his life . . . “)  Try to make sure your ball doesn’t land right on the girl or knock over her stuff.  There is a fine line between endearingly clumsy and just plain...

Find a qualified coach or trainer who can work with you one-on-one to help you with drills and technique. Talk with the coaching staff at your school, community center or at a volleyball camp in your area to find a person who is willing to take you on. Alternately, find a player with more years of experience than you. This person may be willing to mentor you and help you improve your skills. Volleyball teams are organized through schools, community centers and YMCA centers. Join a team or league to get regular practice and to participate in scrimmages or matches. Ask your coach or other teammates about summer camps or clinics that they might recommend. These range from one day clinics to week-long camps. Search online for a camp or clinic in your area. Watch how professionals play the game. Pay attention to their strategies, strengths, weaknesses, and interactions with other players.

Find a quiet place away from any distractions. Make sure the room is a comfortable temperature.  Put on some soft music Light some candles to prepare the room. Explain what you will be doing, and tell them to notify you of any discomfort or pain. Stand behind, placing your hands lightly on their shoulders as you both take several deep breaths.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьтесь. Усадите человека, которому вы будете делать массаж, и попросите его устроиться поудобнее.


Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for at least 30 minutes. You will need a blank sheet of paper and pencil. If you are at home with other people, ask them politely not to disturb you as you work. Switch off any music, television or devices that might distract you. Keep your phone on silent. When your life is fixed, what will that look like? How will achieving this goal affect your life? Who will be the first person to notice when your life is fixed? Consider all these things as you think about what aspect of your life needs a change.  It's okay to start fairly broad. Just work toward an idea of what you want out of your life.  For example, you could consider questions such as "What do I want to offer the world?" or "How do I want to grow?" Vague goals such as, ‘I want to be happy,’ or ‘I want to lose weight,’ are difficult to achieve. Your goal needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-based.  Such a goal will help you gauge your progress and let you know if you’re on track. So, instead of, ‘I want to lose weight,’ you can write, ‘I want to lose one pound every week until I weigh x pounds.’ You decide what fixing your life means to you. It’s okay if you need to write your goal a few times before you reach a clear, concise one. Write your thoughts if it helps you process them better. Writing as you think can give you distance from your thoughts and more objectivity. Break your goal into smaller, more manageable steps that can be targeted one at a time or simultaneously, if need be. Remember to write specific, time-based, measurable goals.  For example, if your goal is ‘to get a job that pays x money within one month,’ you can break that down into:  Research job listings on company websites and LinkedIn (Day 1, 2 hours) Write resume (Day 2, 1 hour) Have a friend proofread it (Day 3-4) Send resume (Day 5) Follow up on application one week after sending it. (Day 12) Keeping your goal(s) and plan in plain view will help keep you motivated. Stick them to your mirror/on...

Find a roll of duct tape and pull out a long section. The section should be long enough to wrap halfway around the lid with about seven inches of extra tape. When in doubt, it’s better to measure out too much than too little. You can buy duct tape at most grocery stores and hardware supply stores. Wrap the sticky side of the duct tape around the sides and top of the lid in a counter-clockwise direction. Wrap the duct tape halfway around the lid, letting the extra duct tape hang free. Press the sticky parts of the extra duct tape together to create an easy-to-grab duct tape handle. If your jar has a lot of condensation on it, wipe the jar dry before applying the duct tape. Grip the jar firmly in your non-dominant hand. Use your dominant hand to pull on the handle. The force of your pull should twist the jar lid in a counter-clockwise direction. Keep pulling until the lid pops off.  If the lid is especially stubborn, have a friend hold the jar while you pull the handle with both hands. If the jar is slick, use a dishtowel to help you hold it steady.

Find a safe environment where you can practice with your new bow and arrow. Remember: to be good at any skill requires practice. To become very good can take years of practice. Be patient! Make a target out of straw or foam, with a cardboard casing. If you're shooting at a fence, use a rug to protect your arrows. If they hit a fence they will likely break. You may wish to learn more about archery. Many local sports clubs, gyms, universities and community centers offer cheap or free classes in archery. Acquiring proper training will make your new skills safer and more enjoyable. Don't do anything that could lead you to injure yourself or others. This is not a toy, these may cause serious injury or death if used incorrectly. Also, don't use this to hunt animals, as it ineffective and cruel for this purpose. Don't use this weapon for self defense. If there is an intruder in your home or any other situation where you feel threatened, please call the police.
