Being so sheer, a lot of tulle is necessary to create a wearable tutu. For a small tutu skirt (child size) use between 2–4 yards (1.8–3.7 m) of fabric. For a medium tutu, you will need between 5–7 yards (4.6–6.4 m) of tulle. A large tutu can be made using 8–10 yards (7.3–9.1 m) of tulle. The waistband of a no-sew tutu is simply an extra long piece of ribbon tied around the waist. Choose a ribbon that is at least ½ inch thick and is wire-free in a hue that matches the tulle. Wrap it around your waist where you want the tutu to sit, and add an extra 2 feet (0.6 m) of length before cutting. Lay your tulle out flat, and cut it into dozens of long strips measuring between 2–4 inches (5.1–10.2 cm) wide. For a fluffier, fuller skirt, use wide strips. To create a tutu that lays down a bit more and looks more intricate, use thin strips of fabric. In order to add the tulle strips to the ribbon, they must all be folded in half first. You can choose to do this as you work, or fold them all in half at the get-go. This should leave two tail ends together at one end with a loop at the other. Place a strip folded in half over the top of the ribbon. Move it so that the loop overlaps the ribbon with about 2 inches (5.1 cm) sticking out over the top. Wrap the tail ends in the opposite direction away from the loop, and then pull them around and through the loop over the top of the ribbon. This will create a classic hacking knot. Continue the process of adding strips via hacking knot to the ribbon. Pull the tail ends tight to minimize the ‘knot’ around the ribbon and to make space for other pieces. Slide them together to keep the tutu organized and smoothed out. The ribbon needs 1 foot (0.3 m) of length on either end to be used as ties for the skirt. When you have added enough tulle strips that the ribbon is completely covered except for these two tail ends, your tutu is finished. Wear your tutu around town by wrapping the ribbon around your waist and tying it in a knot or bow at the small of your back. Gently fluff up the tulle...

TL;DR in Russian:

Достаньте тюль. Сделайте резинку на талию. Разрежьте вашу тюль на полоски. Сложите полоски пополам. Привяжите свою первую полоску. Добавьте полоски. Закончите завязывать полоски. Испробуйте вашу новую туту из тюли.


Being thankful can help you recognize that you have good things in your life.  You can get more enjoyment from life if you spend some time acknowledging the things that make you happy. Spend some time every few days writing down moments that make you happy. You don’t need to make a laundry list; instead, focus on a few specific instances and write more about those instances. Being open to positive experiences can help you enjoy life to the fullest. When you find joy in small moments, you will appreciate life and learn about what you want and need to be healthy. Be present in the moment, and take notice of the good things that surround you. For example, take a walk in nature. Look at your surroundings. Notice how the wind rustles through the trees. Notice the ladybug climbing up a leaf. Watch the sun filter through the tree branches. Paying attention to the little things will help you find happiness. Being honest and true to yourself will help you stay in touch with the real you. When you spend all your time pretending to be someone else or trying to please others, you start to lose a sense of what you really like and need. Be an authentic person.   For example, your friends want to go dancing but you’d really like to get a good night’s sleep so you can go hiking the next morning. Do what feels right for you, not for them. Be sensitive towards other people’s needs, but don’t override your own needs. If your appearance is interfering with daily life or causing you distress, then you should seek the help of a mental health professional, such as a therapist. You may be suffering from a deeper problem, such as body dysmorphic disorder. This may be the cause of your confidence issues.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ведите дневник благодарности. Находите радость в каждом дне. Будьте настоящим. Обратитесь за помощью к психотерапевту или психологу.


Being the best student in a class is about more than just getting good grades. You should also work on being a good person. You don't want to be a bully or a class clown; that will not make you the best student in the class. Focus on making people feel good by giving them compliments and telling them when they do a good job. Don't be mean to people and tease them or say hurtful things. Be a good person by helping people when you can. If you know how to do something or you have an easier way of doing it, show them how. Don't make yourself seem smarter or better, just be nice and friendly. You can also do small nice things, like holding a door open for them or helping them carry something heavy. For example, if someone was gone for a few days, offer to help them get caught up and share your notes with them. Even when people are mean to you, you should still be respectful. Don't shout at them or physically hurt them. Don't call them names or cut in front of them in line, just to spite them. Simply ignore them and treat them like you would treat anyone else. Be respectful to people by not talking over them and definitely giving them a chance to talk if they want to. Respect their opinions and don't worry if they think a little bit differently than you. You should also let people be themselves and don't make them feel bad for being unique or different. When you're in class, stay as calm as you can. Don't run around and disrupt people. You should also try not to get stressed when school gets tough. This is bad for you and it might also cause you to lash out at other people.  Help yourself calm down by breathing slowly. Remind yourself that everything will be okay. You're strong enough to do this! Avoid worrying about perfect grades. Perfect grades really only matter your last year and a half of high school and then when you're in college (if you plan on going to graduate school later). Otherwise, just focus on learning the material as well as you can and don't worry about the numbers or letters that your teacher...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приносите людям хорошие чувства, а не плохие. Помогайте другим. Относитесь к людям с уважением, даже когда они ведут себя не очень хорошо. Оставайтесь спокойным. Постарайтесь сделать все в школе более интересным для других. Будьте собой!


Being the first person to reach out is super scary, but it may be the only way to fix things. Don’t let your fear hold you back. Send the first text, give the first smile, or say the first, “Hey, how’ve you been.” Soon, your friendship might be on the road to recovery. Keep things simple at first. Send a simple text that says, “Hey! :)” You likely wish things could go back to the way they were, but that may not be possible. Instead of trying to pretend things are the same, embrace the chance to start over. Get to know your friend all over again by having long talks and making new memories together. Invite your friend to have coffee or bake cookies. Then, use this time to talk about yourselves. Doing fun, new things will help you move your friendship forward. Choose something you and your friend have always wanted to try, or pick something that’s scared you in the past.  For instance, you might go skydiving, run a 5K, take an art class, or try out for a play. Ask your friend if they have any ideas for activities you can try. Talk to your friend about your differences and how they might affect your friendship. Then, work together to figure out how you can still make your friendship work.  For example, let’s say you have a job but your friend doesn’t. You’ll have a lot more demands on your time, and you need to make that clear to them. In this case, you could make plans for after work or on your day off. Similarly, your friend may have family responsibilities that you don’t have. It’s important to respect your friend’s time with their family and the demands they face. To compromise, you might spend more time at their house or you could include their younger siblings or children in your activities. Despite all of your efforts, it’s possible your friend will want to slow things down. If so, respect their wishes. Keep your distance while they sort through their feelings and decide what they want. In the meantime, work on building new friendships. Tell them, “I understand how you feel. I hope that we can be friends...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте первый шаг, чтобы наладить отношения. Ведите себя как во времена первого знакомства. Пробуйте новое вместе. Примите различия и стремитесь находить  компромиссы. Предоставьте другу личное пространство. Умерьте свои ожидания.


Being together is not the only way you can show that you love him. Your boyfriend needs his friends and to enjoy things outside of you and the relationship. By encouraging him to go out with his friends, you are showing him that you love him and trust him. Plus, when he returns, you can remind him that you love him and only him by telling him how much you missed him.  Don’t get upset or angry if he wants to go watch a game with his friends. Time apart is good for you both, as is spending time with your friends. Make sure the time he spends with his friends is realistic. He shouldn’t expect you to never see your friends while he sees his. If you are living together, leave one another with all the housework while you hang out with your friends. That would be unfair to him or to you. It’s okay to spend an hour or so tweeting about the issues of the day, but there’s also a time to call it quits. If you spend time on social media while he's right there with you, you'll make him feel unloved. Rather than checking your phone throughout your date, focus on him. Social media will still be there tomorrow.  Stay present in the moment when you go on dates, eat dinner, or watch television. Enjoy the activity and talk to one another. If social media is too tempting, then consider turning your phone off. Encourage him to do the same so that both of you could focus on each other. Be friendly and respectful to his friends. It is important that you form good relationships with his friends because they are important to your boyfriend. However, you shouldn’t flirt with them. If you really love your boyfriend, you will be friendly with his friends but nothing more. Instead, focus your affection on your boyfriend while you are with his friends to remind him he's the only one for you. It’s okay to offer a friendly hug after you’ve gotten to know them, but softly grazing their arms or standing too close are red flags for flirting. Behavior like this will make your guy think twice about your loyalty. Talking positively about your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Побуждайте его общаться со своими друзьями. Сосредоточивайте свое внимание на нем, а не на общении в социальных сетях. Относитесь к его друзьям с уважением. Говорите только хорошие вещи о своем молодом человеке, когда его нет рядом с вами. Будьте верны молодому человеку.


Being unashamedly who you are and letting your passions in life shine through is very impressive to people, even when they don't realize it. Everyone wants to live like they don't care what others think, so when they see someone actually doing that they are impressed. Take responsibility for your actions but also take on responsibility. Being the "adult" in the situation, ready to be in control and handle the consequences, is impressive to others. Tell people your polite but honest opinion. Be open about biases you may have and be willing to tell someone when you think something won't work (even if it's your own product). When you make a promise or assurance, keep it. Over-deliver on things that you promise if you can. You want to be someone that people view as very trustworthy. This is seem as a rare trait and is admired. Be someone who can turn a terrible situation into a useful lesson without batting an eye. Always keep calm in tough situations. Don't be a complainer: just quietly confront problems and move on. People like people who can handle situations without becoming overwhelmed. Be respectful to your peers and superiors, but most importantly be respectful to people who others might view as "below" you. A great man once said, "If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." That said, be kind to the poor, the homeless, your employees, etc. They're more your equals than you might like to admit. A humble nature is actually very impressive to most people. The commonly accepted idea that acting like you're the best gets you treated better doesn't really hold true in practice. People don't like a showoff and it's likely to earn you more rival than anything else. Be humble about your accomplishments and people will be truly impressed.

TL;DR in Russian:

Живите громко и гордо. Берите на себя ответственность. Будьте честны. Будьте позитивны. Уважайте всех. Будьте скромны.


Being underweight means you will have lower energy requirements and a smaller stomach, so you will become full faster. Planning on eating five or six slightly smaller—but complete—meals throughout the day can help you to get the nutrients you need more regularly, and to struggle less with finishing large portions at the beginning. And, as with any seemingly insurmountable task, breaking it into smaller parts can help to make it feel achievable.  ”Hara hachi bu” is a Confucian saying which means to eat only until you are eighty percent full. While usually thought of as a mantra for those trying to avoid overeating, it can be helpful for keeping the big picture in check: the point of this is to be healthy and well, not to keep eating to the point of being uncomfortable. You might already know that eating more frequently is also a tip given to those wanting to lose weight as well, to maintain the body's metabolism. So which is right? Both, actually! It just depends on what those frequent meals you're eating consist of. Slowing your metabolism can be attempted to gain weight, but it's not a healthy method that's generally advised. This is a good baseline to maintain when you’re trying to pack on pounds. Searching online for a calorie calculator will yield multiple results, any of which you can use to determine how many calories are necessary to maintain your current weight. Then, add 250-500 to that number. Meats, cheeses, and nutritious whole grain carbohydrates are excellent choices. While simply eating a lot of nearly anything will make you gain weight, care must be taken to also answer the nutritional deficiencies that are part of being underweight.  Example breakfast dishes: scrambled eggs with cheese, yogurt with fruit and granola, and breakfast burritos. Example lunch dishes: chicken breast sandwich with avocado, tuna salad, and whole wheat bagels with cream cheese. Example dinner dishes: steak with cooked vegetables, baked potatoes with butter and sour cream, and grilled salmon with rice. Full-fat options...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ешьте почаще, но небольшими порциями. Ежедневно потребляйте на 250-500 калорий больше. Отдайте предпочтение высококалорийным продуктам с большим содержанием белка. Пейте цельное молоко, а не обезжиренное. Ешьте много углеводов. Включите в свой рацион много клетчатки. Налегайте на легкие закуски. Откажитесь от кофеиносодержащих напитков. Не налегайте на жидкости.


Being upset, hatred, wanting revenge: all of these take up a lot of energy and time! That's time that you could be spending doing something that makes you feel happy and fulfilled. It might even be keeping you from meeting new and exciting people. Put those negative feelings aside and find a new use for your energy. This could be pursuing a promotion, learning a new skill, or improving your grades! Giving yourself a busy and set schedule can help, especially during the early period when you haven't quite changed your own heart yet. When bad things happen, it's easy to focus only on the bad thing and ignore all of the incredible good deeds that people do in response. Look back on your pain and think about the people that were there for you. It's important to really embrace the love that they showed you and spend some time showing them your gratitude. For example, your best friend holding back your hair after you stress-vomit from seeing your ex. That's an incredible act of love that you should not put aside or forget. Continuing to tell the story of what happened to you over and over again simply makes you relive the experiences and leaves you feeling like a victim. Don't be a victim. Dwelling on these negative experiences can also drive away people who would otherwise really like to make you happy. When we fill our spirits with spite and sadness, we wear those emotions on the outside too. This is often scary and unattractive to people. You don't want to drive away good people...then the person that hurt you has won! If someone asks you about the topic, you can certainly still tell them about it if you want to, but the important idea here is to stop identifying yourself and your life as being all about that terrible thing that happened. When we're focused on bad things, it's easy to forget about all the good things that happened too. A breakup may make you forget what might have been many happy years with that person. A fight with your friend may make you forget about the happier times and fun the two of you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Направьте свою энергию на что-то другое. Обратитесь к кому-то за помощью. Прекратите переживать события те снова и снова. Вспомните старые-добрые времена. Найдите новый опыт для новых счастливых воспоминаний. Восстановите доверие. Заведите новые знакомства. Живите жизнью всем на зависть.


Being your true self is essential for developing your inner beauty. Reflect on your values, interests, and goals in life. Then, pursue what makes you happy. You can develop your authenticity by doing the following activities:  Notice how you feel in different situations, then do more of what feels right. Be open and honest with your friends. Don’t worry about being perfect because no one is. Be present in each moment by focusing on your 5 senses. Being grateful for what you have will make your inner beauty shine. Instead of complaining about what’s lacking in your life, focus on your blessings. Celebrate the people who are important to you, the talents or skills you possess, the opportunities you have, and the small comforts you enjoy. Here are some ways to express your gratitude:  Keep a gratitude journal to record the things you’re thankful for. Send your close friends cards that tell them how much they mean to you. Give small and meaningful gifts, like a poetry book, necklace, or painted stone. Tell your loved ones how you feel about them. Call people to check on them. You don’t need a lot of money to have abundance in life. You may be rich in time, talent, or creativity. Share what you have with others to help make people happy. This will help you have inner beauty. Here are some great ways to be generous:  Let people borrow your stuff. Give your time to help others. Share a meal with people in need. Bring snacks and drinks when you go to events. Give gifts to people in need around the holidays. Living with constant conflict and dealing with people who are toxic can drain you. This makes it hard to have inner beauty because you’re upset or exhausted all of the time. Instead, surround yourself with supportive, positive people who help you be your best self. Make sure you’re giving your friends, relatives, and partners the time, attention, and support that they need, as well.  Make time for your friends, especially those who’ve been there for you for awhile.  Make new friends to keep you growing and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте искренни Выражайте благодарность Будьте щедры Поддерживайте здоровые отношения. Отпустите негативные чувства Участвуйте в жизни общества, занимаясь волонтерством. Поищите духовную истину. Приобретайте мудрость, изучая новые вещи и сохраняя прогрессивность взглядов.


Believe it or not, exercise is essentially a natural antidepressant. In fact, a recent study showed that exercise, CBT, and certain medications all show similar effects. To get the most out of your workout, do weight-training and cardio, which has shown to be even more beneficial  than just one or the other (and that's for your waistline, too).  Exercise helps boost your mood because it releases endorphins in your brain, which makes you feel better. Exercise also helps your brain make new neural connections.  50% of people who have one major episode of depression will relapse, and the likelihood goes up if you’ve had more than one episode. But exercising, eating right, and taking care of your body can limit the chance of recurrence. In addition to helping your body function at its best, it is a mood regulator, easing your mind. People, especially young people, are prone to depression and other mental illnesses if they regularly get an inadequate amount of sleep. To keep your mind and body in tiptop shape, aim for a solid 7 hours a night, if not more.  Researchers advise 8 hours of sleep a night for optimum performance, but that is not always possible in today's hectic world. Only you will know the amount of time you truly need to function at your best, figure that time frame out and do your best to hit that goal every night. It turns out all the millions of stimuli your brain has to sort through every second really take a toll. Through the day, the brain accumulates so much information it just slows down. Recent research has shown that enough sleep gets rid of the things that keep your brain from performing well. Eating a low-fat diet, rich in vitamins, nutrients, omega-3s (found in fish), and folic acid can be helpful for mood regulation and balance. You are what you eat, after all. If you eat healthy, you'll feel healthy – inside and out. Excessive sugar consumption often correlates to higher instances of depression. Since eating a lot of sugar causes your glucose levels to spike then drop low, it can make...

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно занимайтесь спортом. Высыпайтесь. Ешьте здоровую пищу. Избегайте алкоголя и наркотиков. Следите за своим здоровьем в целом.


Believe it or not, hairspray can actually work to remove set-in grease stains. Heavily douse your grease stain with hairspray, using a paper towel in between the fabric and the spray. Allow it to soak for thirty minutes, and then put it in the washing machine for a regular wash. Air-dry your clothes when finished in the washing machine, and you should be good to go! If this process doesn't work the first time, you can repeat it until the stain is totally removed. Granted, this does sound a little gross. However, cheese-whiz is a sworn-upon grease remover by some. Coat your grease stain in a thick layer of cheese whiz, and then rub it in with your finger and put it in the washing machine. A single wash should be enough to get out the stain - and the whiz. Shampoo is used for getting the natural oils and grease out of your hair and scalp, so why not use it for the same process on your clothing? Pour shampoo directly onto your stain, and use a cloth to vigorously rub it in. Let it set for 10-15 minutes, and then wash it as you would regularly in the washing machine. Allow the clothing to air-dry, and you should be grease stain free. Waterless mechanic's soap - a type of powder detergent - is used in garages all over the world to remove oil from the hands of greasy mechanics. Pour the powder onto the stain, and then rub it vigorously into the oil stain. Let it set for thirty minutes, and repeat the process. Wash the clothing and allow it to air dry; if the stain still persists, repeat the aforementioned process again until it has been fully removed. Simple green is a cleaning solution used by many for regular household cleaning tasks. However, it also works to remove set-in stains. Pour the liquid directly onto the stain and let it set for 15-20 minutes, adding more if necessary. Then wash your clothing on a cold water cycle, and air dry it. WD-40 is used for a multitude of cleaning purposes, including oil and grease stain removal. Pour the cleaner onto the stain and wait for 30 minutes, allowing it to soak in....

TL;DR in Russian:

Распылите на пятно лак для волос. Нанесите на пятно сырный соус. Используйте шампунь. Попробуйте безводное «гаражное» мыло для грязных работ. Попробуйте универсальное чистящее средство. Воспользуйтесь WD-40. Налейте на загрязненное место немного колы. Попробуйте алоэ вера. Купите пятновыводитель, подходящий для застарелых пятен.


Believe it or not, humans can “catch” emotions as easily as we catch colds. If you spend a lot of time with people who are happy and positive, you’re more likely to feel that way yourself. If you spend a lot of time with people who are focused on negativity, that will rub off on you as well. Surround yourself with people who care for you, respect you and others, and enrich your life.  Who do you spend your time with? How do they make you feel about yourself? Do you feel respected and validated by the people in your life?  This isn’t to suggest that your friends and loved ones shouldn’t offer constructive critique. In fact, sometimes we need a friend to point out when we’ve done something thoughtless or hurtful. However, you should always feel like your loved ones approach you with kindness and respect, and you should treat them the same way. Learning to  communicate assertively (but not aggressively) can help you feel stronger, more confident, and more fulfilled. Assertive communication acknowledges that both you and others have needs, and works to give everyone a way to be heard.  Be open and honest but don’t use judging or blaming language. If someone has hurt you, it’s healthy to share your feelings with him or her. However, don’t use language that puts blame on the other person, such as “You were so unkind to me” or “You don’t even care about my needs.” Use “I”-statements. Using statements that focus on what you are feeling and experiencing keep you from sounding blaming or judging. For example, “I felt hurt when you forgot to pick me up from work. I felt like my needs were not important to you.” Give constructive criticism and accept it from others. Don’t simply tell others to do or not to do something. Explain why you are asking. Invite others to share their needs and ideas with you. Use cooperative language, such as “What would you like to do?” or “What do you think?” Instead of automatically feeling a need to assert your own point of view, try saying something like “Tell me more” when you hear...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о людях, которые вас окружают. Обсуждайте свои потребности с окружающими. Любите всех. Прощайте себя и других. Предлагайте себя другим. Принимайте всех.


Believe it or not, it is much easier to fall asleep in a cool environment than a toasty, well-heated room. Try to achieve a temperature in your bedroom between 60º and 67ºF (15.6–19.4ºC). Personal preference has an effect here too, but the ideal sleeping temperature for most people falls into this range. Try it and you may be surprised. Babies and toddlers sleep better at a slightly warmer temperature. Their ideal range is between 67 to 70 °F (19 to 21 °C). If you are a light sleeper, wear ear plugs and eye covers to prevent stimuli from waking you up. If early morning sunlight wakes you up, hang blackout curtains to block it. If loud noises in the night are unavoidable, comforting background could help cover them up. Try running a whirring fan or playing quiet, calming instrumental music. If your room is dry, a humidifier can solve two issues at once. This is especially important if you suffer from back or neck pain, but anyone can benefit from arranging themselves and their pillows in a comfortable position. Try one of these:  Sleep on your side, with your knees pulled up slightly toward your chest. Place a pillow between your knees to keep your pelvis and spine straight. Sleep on your back only if your mattress provides comfortable support. Try a second pillow beneath your knees and/or under the hollow of your back for additional support. Sleeping on your stomach is not recommended, as it can cause breathing issues and neck pain. If this is the only way you can fall asleep, sleep on the edge of a tall pillow, so you can tilt your head slightly for air flow, but don't need to wrench your neck to do so. Some people sleep without a pillow, while others prefer one or two large, soft pillows. Go with the option that keeps your neck and shoulders relaxed throughout the night. If you feel tense when you wake up, and can't find a pillow that works for you, try rolling up a towel and placing it under your neck for direct support. If you can't find a comfortable position for your arms, try holding a large pillow,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Believe it or not, plain old tonic water glows under a black light — quite brightly, as well. To get this effect, start by pouring some tonic water into a container where you can see it. You can add it by itself or dilute it with water. However, the more water you add, the dimmer it will glow. Tonic water is available at most local stores and supermarkets for just a few dollars. Be sure to get tonic water, not club soda or soda water. The bottle should say "with quinine" or something similar. All you need to do to get tonic water to glow bright is to illuminate it with a black light. Be sure to dim the lights in the room before you do this or it will be more difficult to see the glowing effect. Black lights are available from specialty party stores (like Spencer's, etc.) or online. The price for the black light often depends on its size and brightness — basic lights can cost as little as $20 or less. Making tonic water glow with a black light makes it look very strange, but it doesn't make it poisonous, radioactive, or harmful to drink in any other way. However, tonic water is often high in calories and sugar, so enjoy it sparingly. Tonic water glows this way because of tiny chemicals called "phosphors" inside the liquid. When ultraviolet light from the black light (which humans can't see) hits the phosphors, they convert it into a form that humans can see, producing the glow.

TL;DR in Russian:

Влейте порцию тоника в прозрачную емкость. Посветите на тоник черной лампой. Не бойтесь пить тоник.


Believe it or not, there are many ways to fold a paper into thirds, but some give more precise results than others. Try this method if you don't need to be exact — it's quick and it works well, but rarely will your results be perfect.  On the plus side, you won't need any tools for this method. Note that a standard 8 1/2 × 11 inch sheet of paper doesn't have to be folded perfectly into thirds to fit in an envelope, making this a good choice for correspondence.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите лист бумаги на рабочую поверхность.


Believe it or not, there was a time when you took regular breaks from work. If your work schedule allows, take breaks and enjoy a quick recess. Even if you have to wait until after work, schedule time during the day to do something fun.  Try one of the activities discussed above. Instead of eating your lunch at your desk while doing work, try going on a picnic in the park. Recess time in school usually involves physical exercise outside so use shorter breaks to  enjoy a quick walk around the block instead of waiting in line for coffee. You can also bring your drink with you. You might not have time to drag out a rest mat at work, but you can pack a snack to help you feel more like a kid. Snacking during the day keeps your blood sugar level and elevates your mood. To feel even more like a kid, forgo the grown-up protein bar and pack a juice box, fruit snack, or pudding cup. While adults are often afraid to admit they don’t know or understand something, children readily absorb information and are excited to learn new things. Take a community education class, join a book group, attend a lecture, or pick up a new hobby. If it seems daunting to venture out on your own, encourage a friend or family member to go with you. Many adults bring workplace stresses home with them, which prevents you from feeling youthful. When you return home from the office, turn off your work email and avoid focusing on the day’s problems. Researchers have found that children smile 400 times per day while adults only smile about 20 times per day. According to psychologists, smiling and laughing make you feel happier and more youthful, so get ready to grin and guffaw if you want to feel young. If you want to maintain a more youthful perspective, try watching a family-friendly movie or reading a book intended for a younger audience. These selections are often more lighthearted and less serious. To take a trip down memory lane, pick one of your childhood favorites. Spending quality time with kids is one of the best ways to feel youthful. ...

TL;DR in Russian:

Получайте удовольствие от своего свободного времени. Находите время для перекусов. Узнавайте новое. Оставляйте рабочие тревоги в офисе. Улыбайтесь и смейтесь. Смотрите детские фильмы и читайте детские книги. Играйте со своими детьми или предлагайте свою помощью с детьми друзьям или родственникам.


Believe it or not, you can actually make really good scrambled eggs in the microwave.  Beat together 2 eggs in a microwave-safe container. Add 1 handful of your favorite chopped veggies. Cherry tomatoes and sauteed spinach leaves work well, or you can use whatever veggies you have leftover from dinner the night before. Sprinkle in a bit of cheese. One ounce of reduced-fat cheese is packed with protein and is a great addition to any healthy breakfast. Don't overdo it, though, as cheese can still be a caloric food.  Keep your serving size to once ounce and stick to reduced-fat or skim cheeses. Zap the mixture in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stir, and then cook for another 30 seconds or until the eggs are solid. Sandwiches are often thought to be off limit because they can be a bit heavy on the carbs.  However, there are healthy ways to put together a satisfying breakfast sandwich.  Watch your fillings.  To keep you sandwich healthy, plan on filling it with low-cal items like egg whites ( to cut out some fat and cholesterol from the yolk), light cheeses, and veggies.  Avoid caloric spreads like full-fat mayonnaise. Cut the carbs in half by making an opened-faced sandwich with just one slice of bread instead of two. Top a lightly toasted slice of whole wheat bread with some smashed avocado and then top it all with a sunny-side up egg (or cooked however you prefer). Avocados are rich in "good" fats, oils, and tons of vitamins. Burritos are great on-the-go breakfasts; simply warm up your fillings, roll in a tortilla, and hit the road with breakfast in hand.  Eggs work great in a breakfast burrito, which can be made using whole wheat and/or low-carb tortillas. You can basically throw whatever you have on hand in there -- cooked beans, veggies, low-fat cheese, even leftover whole grain rice -- it’s a great refrigerator clean-out vehicle.  Some things to avoid, though, that will take your burrito into unhealthy territory are refried beans, full-fat sour cream, full-fat cheeses, and other processed foods. Boost...

Believing that you’re going to do well on the test will actually help you get there. Even if you think you won’t do well on the test, don’t let yourself hear it. Instead, just say “I got this!” It's sort of a "fake it till you make it" idea, but it can work!  Take a piece of paper and write positive stuff like "I will ace my test!" on it.  Try smiling before the test, even if you have to force it. Studies show that making yourself smile, even when you don't feel like it, actually raises your mood. You could also try to think of something funny, like imagining your teacher slipping on a banana peel or walking in the room dressed like Hello Kitty. before and during the test to stay relaxed. Deep breathing increases your oxygen levels. Getting plenty of oxygen means you can think more clearly. And when you think clearly, you’re primed to do your best on the test!  Breathe in slowly through your nose for 10 seconds. Exhale slowly through your mouth.  Repeat several times. Take a minute to see how many questions there are, and if there are separate sections on the test. This will give you an idea of what is in store and will help you to manage your time better. It also prevents any nasty surprises with only a few minutes left. Take a close look at every question before you attempt to answer it. Read each one twice if you have time. If you are taking a multiple choice test, read the entire question before looking at any of the answers. Don’t waste time hunting for an easy question to begin with. Just go through the questions one by one. If there’s one you can’t answer, or just seems hard, skip it and go to the next one. Come back later to any questions you didn’t answer, if there’s time.  If you’re really nervous, however, do some easy problems first to build your confidence and calm yourself down. If you skip any questions, mark them with a star so you'll know which ones to come back to if you have time at the end. If you go back and change your mind several times, you are likely to make a mistake due to...

Bella is known for her checked shirts and plaid shirts, so buy a few that you like. You can get them in many colours and sizes and they suit anyone and everyone. Bella also wears simple, long-sleeved shirts in dark colours like blue, grey, brown and sometimes even green. Jeans are what she always wears, because Bella's style is so comfortable and laid-back. Buy a few different pairs of jeans that fit perfectly. Buy some jeans in different washes for variety. Bella loves easy-to-wear, comfortable shoes such as Converse, Keds and other "sneaker"-style shoes. She usually wears them in solid, dark colours such as black, grey, and navy blue. Although Bella is more of a tomboy with her clothing,  she gets more feminine as the series progresses. In Breaking Dawn Part 1, she certainly looks more elegant in what she wears. She wears sophisticated dresses such as the one pictured above. Consider buying a simple dress that will suit your figure and fit you well. Because Bella doesn't wear bright colours, opt for a dress in ivory/white, black, or navy blue.

Bend over slightly and hold frisbee in your hand, horizontal to the ground, at the height of the dog's mouth. Then let him grab it with his mouth while you are still holding on to it. Say "drop it" then take the frisbee from his mouth immediately. Now praise the dog graciously by saying "good boy (girl) and repeat the process again a few more times. Now do the exact same exercise, only move your body in a circle away from the dog, keeping it at the height of the dog's mouth. As the puppy grows, you will be able to stand up while doing this exercise. Now that you are standing up, hold the frisbee a little higher than the dog's mouth and horizontal to the ground, so he has to jump up to grab it.  After a while, release the frisbee right before your dog jumps up to grab it. Try turning in a circle with this exercise as well. If you are training a young pup, you may need to repeat all the above many times before it is ready to chase the frisbee.

Bend your head forward slightly, as if giving a respectful nod. Maintain this head position throughout the curtsy. In modern times, it isn't usually necessary to hold your skirt while you curtsy. If the skirt is especially long and voluminous, however, you may choose to hold it discreetly to avoid tripping on the material. Take the edges of your skirt between the thumb and first two fingers on each hand, with the pinkies extended. Gently pull the skirt out to each side. For most skirts, you don't need to pull them out, and doing so may appear overly formal or mocking. Unless you need to hold your skirt for safety, simply keep your hands down by your sides. Place your right foot a couple of inches behind the left, resting on the ball of your foot. As you do so, shift most of your weight onto the front foot. Lower yourself down into a curtsy, bending the knees outward, rather than forward. Keep your back straight as you do this -- do not lean forward and do not stick out your behind. Don't bob straight back up -- slowly and gracefully return to an upright position, lowering your hands back to your sides and raising your head as you do so.

TL;DR in Russian:

Опустите голову. Возьмите юбку. Заведите правую ногу за левую. Согните ноги в коленях. Грациозно вернитесь в исходное положение.


Bend your knees and get low to the ground. Hang your head low. When you stand up quickly after you've been crouching, sitting, or laying down for a while, the blood rushes from your head, and your brain is momentarily knocked off of its usual equilibrium. If you haven't been sitting or laying down for long, try crouching down and breathing rapidly to simulate the process.  Be aware of external factors. The lightheaded effect will be more intense if you're hungry or dehydrated, or if the air is hot and humid. If you get too lightheaded, you might faint or vomit. Consider standing on your head or performing a handstand. Turning yourself upside-down is a very quick way to bring blood to your head. The process is essentially the same: stay upside-down for a minute or two until your head is heavy – then stand. Make sure that you have plenty of neck support. In theory, this will increase your blood flow and temporarily raise your blood pressure – especially to your head and lungs. Keep breathing and crouching for at least thirty seconds, and as long as several minutes. Bear in mind that the longer you stay down, the more likely you are to feel lightheaded upon standing. The heavier and faster you breathe, the higher your heart rate will go. This will cause your blood flow to quicken. Hold your head high, and don't move around much. The blood pressure should drain from your head, suddenly. You should feel lightheaded almost immediately. Your vision may go dark. You may see spots, "stars", or bright points of light dancing before your eyes. You should feel an overwhelming head rush. It's best to stand still for a few moments and enjoy the sensation. Let your vision return, and let your brain restore its balance. If you try to walk while you're very lightheaded, you might trip, fall, or bump into something.

TL;DR in Russian:

Присядьте на корточки. Дышите быстро и глубоко, сидя на корточках. Быстро встаньте. Немного подождите, перед тем как пойти.


Bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the floor. This stretch is great for people who already have lower back pain. It stretches the lower back along with supporting muscles in the hips and glutes. Keep your other leg in a comfortable position - usually against the floor, either straight or bent at the knee. To add a hip-flexing element to the stretch, use your hands to rotate your leg by gently pulling your shin across your body.

TL;DR in Russian:

Лягте спиной на ковер или гимнастический мат. Держите колено одной ноги впритык к груди на протяжении 30 секунд.


Bending your knees will help you to absorb any bumps or wakes that the boat traverses, helping you maintain balance and continue standing. Do not try to pull yourself forward or maintain balance by pulling on the rope. You should simply allow the rope to continue pulling you forward. Lean back slightly with your hips forming a straight line with your shoulders. You can push your hips slightly forward and up towards the handle but make sure the skis stay directly beneath you.  Allowing the skis to move to far out in front of you will cause you to fall backwards. Leaning forward will cause the skis to move behind you and make you fall forward. Many skiers tend to hold their breaths while skiing but it is important to breathe naturally. Normal breathing will reduce fatigue and prevent you from getting overly tired. Try turning slightly by putting more pressure on the inside edge of the ski on the opposite side of where you want to go. Stay inside the wake for now.  For example, you will push down on the inside edge of the ski with your left leg and lean slightly to the right and away from the boat to move to the right. At the same time you can lift up slightly with your right foot to help you turn. Make sure you keep proper positioning with your knees bent and arms straight in front of you while you turn. Make a turn to either side and cross the wakes by turning your skis at a sharp angle to the wake. Keep pressure on your ski closest to the boat until you are completely outside the wake.  Keep your knees bent to absorb the shock. If you try to cross with one ski at a time, you will fall. Make sure you cross at a sharp angle to the wake with both skis at the same time. Going over the wake should be quite quick. If you try to go slowly, you will fall. Keep your arms straight in front of you while crossing the wake. Pulling on the handle is a common mistake made by beginners and can also cause you to lose your balance and fall.

TL;DR in Russian:

Держите колени все время согнутыми. Держите руки выпрямленными, и пусть катер тянет вас вперед. Постоянно наклоняйтесь назад, чтобы оставаться в правильном положении. Дышите нормально.

Bendy straw work the best, but you can try it with a normal straw as well. It just needs to be long enough to reach from your armpit to your mouth. Take one end of the straw and close your armpit around it. You can do this with a shirt on if you stick it in through the collar. Put the other end of the straw in your mouth and blow. It should produce realistic sounding fart noises with ease.

Beneath the sink, you'll find a vertical metal bar with a series of holes in it (the extension bar) connected to an angled (but nearly horizontal) rod that enters the sink's drainpipe (the pivot rod). To disconnect them, pinch the V-shaped spring clamp that holds them together. Keep the clamp and all other pieces you disconnect for future reference. The pivot nut is threaded onto a short stub on the drainpipe, and is the entry point for the pivot rod into the drain. Turn the nut counterclockwise by hand — or use a wrench if necessary — to unthread it. Pull it straight off along with the inserted pivot rod. You should now see the pivot ball nestled inside the nut, along with the stub of the pivot rod that connects to the stopper inside the pipe. The vertical extension bar is connected by a clevis (a “U” shaped joint) with the lift rod that extends to the topside of the sink. Undo the screw to unfasten the lift rod, then pull the lift rod out from above the sink. Because the extension bar and lift rod are adjustable — that's what the clevis, the holes in the extension bar, and the spring clamp are for — you may be able to keep them in place and reuse them with other new or repaired components of the sink stopper. A sink stopper replacement kit will come with a new extension bar and lift rod, however, should you want or need to replace them as well. The stopper is no longer connected to anything and should be sitting freely in the drain opening. Use your fingernails or a thin tool if necessary to get a grip on it and pull it out of the drain. If you use a screwdriver or other tool and plan to reuse the drain itself, however, be careful not to scratch up the finish. Take the pieces you've disconnected — the drain plug, lift handle, extension bar, pivot rod, etc. — with you to the home improvement store. If you have details on the brand and model, all the better. If you can find replacement parts that match up just right — ideally from the same brand and model — you can install them and fix the sink stopper...

Bengal cats are descendants of wild Asian leopards, so it is in their nature to be active and energetic. They have a penchant for playing and exerting large amounts of energy. Bengals spend more time playing and less time napping than many other breeds of domestic cats. If your cat seems quite docile or lethargic, it is unlikely that the cat is a Bengal. Despite their wild ancestry and feral appearance, Bengal cats are very affectionate towards humans – especially their owners. They love to cuddle and play with their family members and spend much of their time engaging with humans. A Bengal cat will not be reclusive or aloof. It will spend most of its time around the humans and other animals of the household. Bengal cats are quite vocal and loud, more than many other breeds of cats. They regularly communicate with their owners about what they want and how they feel. They will not hesitate to let their owner know if their litterbox needs cleaning or if they want more food. Even though Bengals express themselves often, their meow is actually more of a gruff little bark sound than an actual loud meow.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на активность кошки. Обратите внимание на то, является ли кошка ласковой. Прислушайтесь к их отличительному мяуканью.


Bengals love to climb and the higher they get the happier they are. If you don't give them suitable things to climb on, they will find things for themselves, such as your curtains. A floor-to-ceiling cat gym is ideal, with lots of platforms and nest boxes. In fact if you have one in every room so much the better. Place one cat gym beside a window, so your Bengal can climb and watch birds through the window at the same time, which he or she will hugely enjoy. Provide plenty of toys, and be sure to have a minimum of twice daily play sessions, lasting at least 10 minutes (or until the cat gets tired). Bengals are intelligent and extremely energetic so you need to provide an outlet for all that pent up hunting behavior. Neglect this and the cat is likely to find its own amusement by shredding your best furniture. The Bengal is highly intelligent and adept at problem solving. This means he or she may work out how to open the food cupboard, or even the fridge. Be prepared to fit child locks on doors where there is anything that could harm the cat (such as cleaning products) or where there is food. Playing with your cat can provide hours of entertainment for you, and your Bengal. These cats love attention, so the more, the merrier! They also love to sleep with their "parents" so, let 'em snuggle up to you at night! Bengals only live 12-18 years average, so make the most out of each day with your cat. Play time with kitties is always important! Cats love anything moving. Get a feather on a string, and move it slowly on the ground. This will make your Bengal think it is alive. Move it slowly, shaking it a little back in forth, until your Bengal pounces. Bengals have a tendency to become one-person cats and ignore everyone else. To avoid this, when you get the Bengal kitten, make sure all members of the house spend equal time playing with, feeding, and grooming the kitten. This will help the cat become equally familiar with everyone. Consider giving your Bengal cat a friend to play with. Bengals have play fights in the...

Benzoyl peroxide can be an effective acne treatment for whiteheads, blackheads, and cystic acne. It works by killing bacteria on the surface of the skin and removing built-up oil and dead skin cells from pores. Benzoyl peroxide is available over-the-counter, although some of the higher strengths require a prescription.  Benzoyl peroxide can be quite harsh on skin. Always start with the lowest strength available, especially if you have sensitive skin, and only apply it on the affected areas. Try not to get benzoyl peroxide on any clothing, sheets or hair, as it can have a bleaching effect. Salicylic acid is known to break down whiteheads and blackheads. It may also help to slow down the shedding of skin cells in the hair follicles, which can prevent pores from becoming blocked. Try facial cleansers and creams that contain the ingredient.  Salicylic acid is available in various strengths over-the-counter. This treatment can be irritating on the skin. Apply it directly to pimples and avoid the surrounding skin. Retinoid creams and gels are made from vitamin A derivatives and may help clear up an array of skin problems, including acne related issues. Retinoid creams address whiteheads by unclogging pores and promoting cell turnover. Low dose creams are available over-the-counter, but higher doses require a prescription.  Retinoid creams may cause your skin to become red and irritated when you first begin using them. Retinoids can also be taken in oral form. These medications are usually only prescribed for severe acne. Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoid creams can be harsh on your skin when you use them by themselves. Never use more than one of these products simultaneously. This can cause serious skin irritation and will not solve your whitehead problem. Visit a dermatologist, spa, or esthetician for a professional facial. A facial can treat your whiteheads in a clean, sterile environment. It's especially beneficial for your nose area! You'll leave with smoother, clearer skin. If your whitehead...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пользуйтесь продукцией с содержанием пероксид бензоила. Попробуйте продукцию по уходу за кожей, содержащую салициловую кислоту. Для чуть более сильного воздействия наносите кремы с ретиноидами. Используйте только одно средство от прыщей за раз. Сделайте чистку лица.


Benzoyl peroxide helps fight acne by reducing oil and bacteria. Wash your face in the morning and evening by dampening your face and applying the cleanser. Rinse off thoroughly and pat your face dry with a clean towel.  If you wear makeup, be sure to remove it completely before washing your face. Use makeup removing wipes or solution to help remove all of your makeup. You can buy cleansers containing benzoyl peroxide at grocery stores, beauty stores, and pharmacies. Your toner will help remove any last particles of dirt while fighting the acne. Dampen a cotton pad with the toner and gently wipe across your face to apply the toner.  Salicylic acid can help unplug pores and may prevent clogged hair follicles. If you're pregnant, you might try products that contain azelaic acid instead. These may be safer for pregnant women, though salicylic acid is unlikely to be a risk. Once your face is clean, dab some benzoyl peroxide cream or gel onto your acne. This can help reduce the acne more quickly. You can get spot treatments from your dermatologist or over the counter at pharmacies and grocery stores. Your skin needs moisture after you strip it of oil and water. Use non-comedogenic moisturizers that won't block your pores. These should be marked as “non-comedogenic” on the label. Common ingredients in non-comedogenic moisturizers include hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera. As hard as it is, try not to touch your face or feel your pimples. Cystic acne can get inflamed when touched, producing more redness and irritation. It may also increase scarring.  Try sitting on your hands if you feel the urge to touch your face. Distract yourself by chewing gum, taking a walk, or squeezing a stress ball. Cystic acne is much harder to pop than normal acne, and doing so will possibly make it worse. Trying to pop cystic acne will also be more painful and more likely to leave a scar.

TL;DR in Russian:

Умывайтесь дважды в день, используя средство с перекисью бензоила. После умывания наносите на кожу тоник с салициловой кислотой. Наносите средство с бензоиловой кислотой на отдельные прыщи.

Benzoyl peroxide is a common ingredient in acne washes and lotions. It works by killing bacteria that may otherwise clog pores to form new pimples. It also helps clear away excess oil and dead skin cells from the affected area. Benzoyl peroxide is usually found in strengths varying between 2.5 percent to 10 percent in over-the-counter products.  Possible side effects of benzoyl peroxide include bleached hair and clothing if using a product containing too much benzoyl peroxide. Caution should be used when applying this product to your hair or scalp.  Other side effects include dry skin, redness, a burning sensation, and possible scaling of skin. Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used topical acne ingredients, found in most facial washes and medicated wipes. It helps prevent pores from clogging and can even unclog pores that have already become plugged, shrinking existing pimples on the scalp or elsewhere on the body. It is usually found between 0.5 percent and five percent strengths in most over-the-counter topicals. Possible side effects include skin irritation and a mild stinging sensation. There are two types of alpha hydroxy acids: glycolic acid and lactic acid. Both forms of alpha hydroxy acids are often used in over-the-counter acne treatments, as they can help clear away dead skin cells and reduce inflammation. Some studies suggest that alpha hydroxy acids can also promote new, smoother skin growth. Some people with acne find that sulfur is a useful treatment option. It can help clear away dead skin cells and excess oil from the body, and is usually combined with other topical over-the-counter ingredients when found in a skin wash or medicated topical. Be aware that some products containing sulfur may have an unpleasant smell.

Benzoyl peroxide is a popular product in acne products. It kills the acne-causing bacteria and helps to open up your pores, so applying it around your nose will help get rid of the acne. Look for products that contain benzoyl peroxide, which can be in concentrations of 2.5% to 10%. Products include cleansers or spot treatments. Benzoyl peroxide may dry out your skin or cause stinging, burning, and redness at the site of application. Use it only as directed on the package. Salicylic acid is another acne medication. You can find salicylic acid in over-the-counter cleansers and spot treatments to use for your nose acne. Available products contain between 0.5% to 5% concentration of salicylic acid. Salicylic acid can include skin irritation and stinging. Use only as directed. Differin gel (adapalene) is a retinoid gel that is available without a prescription. It is especially good at opening pores and treating and preventing blackheads, which are common in nose acne. Note that retinoids can be irritating and dry out your skin, especially when you first begin treatment. Make sure you follow the instructions on the packaging and use as directed. To help prevent acne on your nose and the rest of your face, wash your face daily, twice a day if you can. You should also wash after any sweaty activity. A lot of sweat can increase acne. Wash your face gently with light circular motions. Don't wash your face too much. More than twice a day is not recommended. You can apply a pore strip to your nose after washing your face, then allow the strip to dry and harden. As the strip dries, the comedonal plugs (dirt in your pores) are attracted to the adhesive on the strip. When you remove the strip, you will see small pieces of dirt stuck to the strip that have come out of your pores.  You have to apply the strip to wet, clean skin or it will not work properly. Make sure that you wait until the strip is completely dry to remove it. Then pull it off slowly. Some cosmetics can irritate your skin and cause acne. If you have trouble...

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective acne treatments. It is found in many face washes. Wash your face when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night.  If you can find one, use a face wash that contains exfoliating particles to help smooth your skin. If you have acne on other parts of your body such as your shoulders, back, and chest, give these areas a scrubbing twice daily as well with the same cleanser as you use on your face. If you wear makeup, never go to bed without washing it all off. Sleeping with makeup on is a surefire way to increase your pimple-count and make getting rid of your acne even more difficult. Use an oil-free makeup remover prior to washing with your regular cleanser to make sure all traces have been removed. Pat your face dry after cleansing with a clean towel. Pour a little bit of toner onto a cotton ball and apply it evenly over your face. The toner will help treat your skin after cleansing, and salicylic acid can fight the acne. Some toners come as wipes or pads. Others may be sprays. This gel can be bought from grocery stores, pharmacies, and beauty stores. Apply a dot of the gel on a pimple and pat it in with a clean finger. Look for products with 3% or less of benzoyl peroxide to avoid irritating your skin. Acne products can dry out or irritate your skin. A moisturizer can help restore moisture and hydrate your skin. Apply moisturizer after cleansing and treating your skin. Make sure to choose a non-comedogenic moisturizer. This means that the moisturizer won't cause acne. Common ingredients in non-comedogenic moisturizers include glycerin, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid. Known as the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM), this is a popular method of cleansing in Asia, and is a growing trend.  OCM is an alternative cleansing method that is gentler for skin, and of interest for sensitive skin types.

Benzoyl peroxide is similar to hydrogen peroxide in that it can act as an antibacterial agent and it can help dry out excess oil on your skin.  Salicylic acid helps reduce inflammation and unclog pores, which in turn helps reduce or eliminate pimples.  Both benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid can be found as the main active ingredient in topical skin treatments (i.e. creams or lotions) or cleansers designed specifically to treat acne.  There are a large number of options available over-the-counter at your local drug store. It can take six to eight weeks before such treatments start to show serious results, so be patient.  If you do not notice any difference after 10 weeks, consider trying something else. Lemon juice works as both an antibacterial agent and an exfoliant.  It not only kills the bacteria that causes acne, but it help remove excess oil and dead skin from your face.  Lemon juice can also act as a natural bleach and can help lighten acne scars over time.  After you’ve washed your face using your normal daily routine, apply one to two teaspoons of pure lemon juice to the affected areas of your skin using a cotton pad or ball.  Leave for at least 30 minutes.  If you do this before bed, you can let the lemon juice dry and simply to go bed.  If it’s during the day, rinse the lemon juice off your face with cold water.Apply your normal daily facial moisturizer when your face is dry.  Be careful using lemon juice if you have open sores, as lemon juice can cause stinging if applied to open sores. Due to the skin lightening effects, you should not use lemon juice if you have naturally dark skin. Tea tree oil is a natural ingredient that works as an antibacterial to kill the bacteria that causes acne.  It is also gentler on your skin that many other more acidic treatments.  You can use 100% pure tea tree oil directly on pimples after you’ve washed your face, or you can mix it with either aloe vera gel or honey to create a cream that can be used for spot treatments.  Make your very own facial scrub by mixing...

Benzoyl peroxide comes in different concentrations, but benzoyl peroxide with a 2.5% concentration is just as effective as 5-10% solutions, and it's less irritating to the skin to boot. Benzoyl peroxide also helps peel away layers of dead skin, leaving brighter, more rejuvenated skin in its place. Like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid kills bacteria responsible for pimple growth. It also causes skin cells to shed more rapidly, promoting the growth of new skin. Put small amounts of salicylic acid onto affected areas before you go asleep, after you have washed your face. Toothpaste contains silica, which is the drying agent you find in bags of beef jerky, among other things. Basically, toothpaste will dry out your pimple overnight, reducing it in size. Some toothpastes containing sodium lauryl sulfate can irritate the skin. Watch out for it before applying. Tea tree oil is an antibacterial essential oil that can blast the microbes that have started to make a home inside of your pores. With a dropper, dab a Q-Tip with a bit of tea tree oil and apply to pimples as needed, being careful not to put on too much.  Crush up an aspirin tablet and add just enough water to make it into a paste. With a Q-Tip, add the aspirin paste to the pimple(s) lightly, covering entirely. Let dry. Aspirin is another anti-inflammatory, meaning it will help the skin fight against inflammation, making the pimple less visible. Let the aspirin paste fight the pimple overnight. Astringents are agents that cause the skin to contract or get smaller. Some pharmaceutical astringents contain antimicrobial ingredients that will help fight the pimple in addition to reducing the size of the pimple. Here are some astringents to consider using: These come in different types and sizes. Look for one that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Ask for astringents that are gentle on the skin. They include: The citric acid here kills the bacteria that cause acne and act as a...

Benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria responsible for acne, so applying it to your forehead will help get rid of the acne there. It also has the added benefit of removing dead skin and excess oils, which will unclog your pores.  Look for over-the-counter products that contain benzoyl peroxide, which can be in concentrations of 2.5% to 10%. It may dry out your skin, make it scale as it dries, or cause stinging, burning, and redness at the site of application. Use it only as directed on the package. In addition to benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid can be found in over-the-counter cleansers and other facial products to help with your forehead acne. Products contain between 0.5% to 5% concentration of the acid.  Side effects can include skin irritation and stinging. Apply a small amount to the skin as wait three days to see if your experience irritation. Do not use for longer period of time or do not use more than prescribed — apply only as directed by your doctor or the directions on the packaging.  Salicylic acid is intended for use on the skin only — avoid applying it too close to your eyes, nostrils, or mouth. Use a Q-tip or a cotton ball to spot-treat areas on your forehead. Essential oils may irritate your skin, so dilute one drop of essential oil with one drop of a carrier oil, such as jojoba, olive, or coconut. If your skin is sensitive, introduce the oil slowly. You can leave the oil on the skin or use warm water to rinse it off. Essential oils to try are:  Tea tree oil  Oregano oil Spearmint or peppermint oils  Thyme  Calendula  Rosemary oil  Lavender Bergamot oil Steam opens up your pores and helps get out the impurities. It’s also simple and cheap. To make a steam treatment:  Fill a pot with water and heat it on the stove until it starts producing steam. Place the steaming water into a bowl and place it on the table. Lean over the bowl, keeping your face at least 12 inches from the bowl. Steam can cause severe burns, so be very careful. Cover your head with a towel and stay over the steam for 15 minutes....

Besides a dog being in pain from an inoperable or untreatable condition, there is the dog's quality of life that needs to be taken into consideration. Talk to your veterinarian about any concerns you have regarding your pet's quality of life. These can include the following factors:  Complete loss of appetite or unwillingness or inability to eat Trouble standing or walking. Falling over when standing or trying to walk. Difficulty with breathing or every breath is labored Incontinence or soiling problems Chronic pain or inability to get comfortable Chronic vomiting or diarrhea that threatens to leave the animal dehydrated Before making the appointment you will want to prepare yourself and your family members for life without your beloved dog. Make sure you have photos of your dog, spend some time with your dog petting and comforting it, and giving it a special treat or food. Remember to let any people that cared for and loved the dog join in this process. Do not lie to them that the dog is going to another home or that it ran away. Instead, explain to them the decision making process to euthanize the dog and explain the death to them in an age appropriate manner.  An excellent book for kids is When a Pet Dies by Fred Rogers of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood fame. You will need to decide if you want to be with your dog to the end of its life. Only you can decide if you want to present for the process. Some people want to be, some don't. It only depends on what is right for you and your dog.  Most veterinarians and their staff will be fine with you being present and will explain the process to you. If you can't be present they will understand that decision as well. When you call for the appointment to euthanize your dog you can ask if they will come to your home to do the euthanasia. Or you may prefer to have it done at the veterinarian's office to avoid unpleasant memories at home. Either the way the procedure is similar. You will need to decide on the disposition of the body after the euthanasia is completed,...

Решите, нужно ли собаку усыплять. Приготовьтесь попрощаться. Подумайте, хотите ли вы быть вместе с собакой в последнюю минуту ее жизни. Решите, что делать с телом собаки.


Besides all the other health benefits of drinking water, it will also help keep your metabolism up. When the body gets dehydrated, metabolism slows down. This means you won't burn as many calories, making it harder for you to lose the weight you want to. While protein is important for building muscles, it also helps keep your metabolism high. This is because the body burns a lot of calories digesting it, so your metabolic rate will stay high if protein is a normal part of your diet. Good sources of protein are chicken, fish like salmon and sardines, eggs, tofu, low-fat milk, low-fat cottage cheese, nuts, and beans. Heart disease is the number one killer of men in the United States, and diets high in saturated fats and cholesterol are a chief contributor to heart disease. Good fats, like mono- and polyunsaturated fats, lower cholesterol and decrease your risk of heart disease.  Sources of good fats include oily fish like salmon and sardines, olive oil, avocados, and nuts. Even when you're eating good fats, make sure no more than 25-35% of your overall calories come from fat. Any more will lead to weight gain. Iron deficiency will slow down your metabolism, so you'll want to get plenty of this nutrient in your diet. Some good sources of iron are shellfish. red meat, lentils, beans, and spinach. Carbohydrates are important for a diet geared towards building muscle. Without carbs, your body will burn protein for energy, which means that the protein won't go towards building your muscles. There are two kinds of carbs, however. Complex carbohydrates take longer for your body to digest than simple carbs. As a result, your body's metabolic rate will remain high if you eat these foods. Good sources of complex carbs include whole grain products, starchy vegetables, green leafy vegetables, and beans. Spicy foods like chili peppers give your metabolism a short boost right after eating. It doesn't last very long, but eating spices regularly can have a sustained effect on your metabolism. Try adding a scoop or two of chili...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поддерживайте водный баланс в организме. Ешьте достаточно белка. Употребляйте полезные жиры. Включите в свой рацион железо. Употребляйте сложные углеводы. Добавляйте в еду специи. Ешьте нежирное мясо. Считайте количество употребляемых калорий. Избегайте экстремальных диет.


Besides being rich in protein and vitamin D (both are key to strong hair), salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for healthy hair. About 3% of the hair shaft is made up of omega-3 fatty acids, which are also found in cell membranes in the skin of the scalp, and in the natural oils that keep the scalp and hair hydrated. If salmon doesn't thrill you, you can also get essential fatty acids from fish like herring, sardines, trout, and mackerel, as well as avocado and pumpkin seeds. Walnuts are the only type of nut that have a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. They're also rich in biotin and vitamin E, which helps protect cells from DNA damage. Walnuts also have copper, a mineral that helps keep your natural hair color rich and lustrous. Try using walnut oil in your salad dressing or stir-fry instead of canola or safflower oil. Oysters are rich in zinc, a lack of which can lead to hair loss (even eyelashes), as well as a dry, flaky scalp. Just three ounces of oysters contain almost five times your daily zinc requirement. They also boast a high level of protein. Zinc can also be found in  nuts, beef, eggs and fortified cereals and whole grain breads. Sweet potatoes are a great source of the antioxidant beta carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A. Vitamin A helps produce and protect the oils that nourish the scalp. A lack of vitamin A can lead to a dry, itchy scalp and problems with dandruff. Carrots, cantaloupe, mangoes, pumpkin, and apricots are all good sources of beta carotene. A great source of protein, eggs are loaded with four key minerals: zinc, selenium, sulfur, and iron. Iron is especially important, because it helps cells carry oxygen to the hair follicles, and too little iron can lead to anemia, which is a major cause of hair loss, particularly in women.  In addition to other nutrients, eggs are a natural source of the b-vitamin biotin, which supports healthy hair.  You can also boost your iron stores by eating animal products, including chicken, fish, pork, and beef....

Besides cost and ease of screening, these tests also vary in accuracy. Some physicians will start with the peripheral test and only conduct the centralized test if the first screen indicates poor bone density.  Peripheral machines are small and portable, and they check bone density on the periphery of your skeleton, such as finger bones or the heel. They are much cheaper but not always a good indicator of bone health in bones that are the most likely to break. Centralized bone scans involve a large X-ray machine with a movable arm that will scan different parts of your skeleton while you lie on a padded table. This machine tests bone density at your hip, lower back, and forearms to get a good measure of the strength of bones that are most likely to break in a slip or fall. Most individuals receive bone density scans to check for signs of osteoporosis.  Bone density scans are often used to detect your individual risk of bone fracture and your personal chance of developing osteoporosis if you do not currently have the condition. Bone density scans can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatments.

Besides doing tasks such as showering or brushing your teeth, try to create a routine that also includes ways to help you get ready for the next day so that you have less to do in the morning. Try to stick to the same routine each night so that it becomes a habit. Your bedtime routine could include taking a shower, picking out your clothes for the next day, packing your lunch, and reading before falling asleep. Eating the wrong foods can give you an upset stomach or can just make it difficult for your mind to turn off and for your body to fall into a restful sleep. Eat healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, proteins, or nuts.  Avoid drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages before bed. Drinks like coffee will keep you awake or prevent you from falling into a deep sleep. Eating a meal right before sleeping doesn't allow your stomach to properly digest the food, so try to eat at least 2 hours before going to bed. This means you should set your alarm so that you get the correct amount of sleep. Getting enough sleep each night will make a huge difference for how productive you are during the day, and you can’t expect to wake up early when you’re going to bed super late. For example, if your alarm needs to go off at 7 AM, start trying to go to sleep by 11 PM. The light from screens is much worse for your eyes than other types, and it will slow down your ability to fall asleep. Try to finish watching TV, using your computer, or texting at least 1 hour before it's time to sleep. It's a good idea to start a rule of no watching TV or using computers in bed. If you're a light sleeper and tend to wake up easily throughout the night, try using a noise machine or turning on a fan to create soft background noise. You can also download an app on your phone that plays white noise. If you're too hot or too cold, you're going to have trouble sleeping and won't get a good night's rest. The ideal sleeping temperature is around 65–68 °F (18–20 °C), depending on personal preferences.

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте распорядок. За несколько часов до сна старайтесь есть здоровую пищу. Старайтесь спать по 7–9 часов в сутки. По крайней мере за 1 час до сна выключите гаджеты с яркими экранами.

Besides typical barbecue or stove-cooked beef brisket, several other iconic dishes are made from the same "brisket" cut of meat at the front of the cow. For instance, corned beef, the tender, salty dish often associated with St. Patrick's Day celebrations and Irish cuisine, is usually made from brisket. Rather than being roasted or grilled, corned beef is usually brined in salt water, then boiled and stewed with vegetables and seasonings to give it its characteristic texture and taste. Though traditionally made from a cut called "beef plate", pastrami is often also made from brisket. Like corned beef, pastrami is typically brined . After this, the meat is seasoned, smoked, and steamed to produce a zesty final product with a characteristic reddish color. This tender, delicious deli meat makes for great sandwiches, especially when paired with a hot mustard. Pot roast, a style of dish that often uses cuts of meat from the tough "chuck" region of the cow, can be replicated with brisket fairly easily. As with chuck pot roasts, brisket pot roasts are made by quickly browning the outside of the meat on a grill or in a pan or skillet, then slowly cooking the meat for hours in a pot containing water or beef stock and various seasonings and spices. Cooked in this way, a piece of brisket can make for a delicious, mouthwatering-ly tender pot roast that can serve as the centerpiece of any great feast.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте приготовить солонину. Попробуйте приготовить пастрому. Попробуйте приготовить тушеное мясо.


Best friends are active listeners. When you speak, your best friends should give you their full attention--your BFF’s phone should remain in a pocket, purses, or on a table. Best friends want to hear about each other’s struggles and triumphs, fears and dreams. Friends that constantly turn the conversation back to themselves are not your best friend. Friends that never ask you about your life or how you are feeling are not interested in getting to know you. If you or your friend has had a rough day, one person may dominate more of the conversation. Best friends respond to your text messages. They return your calls. They pick up the phone--even if you ring them at the early hours. Friends that fail to respond, or gets around to it when they feel like it, are not reliable communicators. Don't think they are unreliable if they don't answer you at the early hours, they probably need a rest.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, кто из ваших друзей является самым лучшим слушателем. Определите, какие друзья говорят только о себе. Оцените, сколько времени уходит у друзей на ответ.


Best friends want to spend time with you. They set aside blocks in their schedules to spend with you. Best friends plan fun activities and adventures to experience with you. Additionally, you frequently ask them to spend time with you too! Best friends are intentional about spending time with you. Your best friends attend all of your major life events, such as weddings and funerals. They are present at all of the little events too--from small birthday parties to your home sporting events. Often, you hang out “just because”--no special occasion is needed to bring you together. Best friends spend time together because they genuinely enjoy one another’s company. Best friends aren’t seasonal friends--they are there for you year-round, not just when school is in session or football is in season. Your best friends don’t spend time with you only when it is convenient for them or they want to use your swimming pool.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, кто из ваших друзей чаще всего зовет вас гулять. Определите, с какими друзьями вы проводите больше всего времени. Подумайте, почему вы проводите время со своими друзьями.


Best way to avoid putting on weight from beer? Avoid drinking too much of it. Aside from the long-term and short-term effects of consuming the alcohol in beer, the empty calories (between 150 and 200 calories per 12 oz bottle) will start to add up. If you're regularly drinking several average-strength beers in a night, think of it as an extra Big Mac or two on top of everything else you ate in the day, leading to weight gain. When you drink to excess, your liver goes into overdrive to process the alcohol from those delicious beers you consumed, filtering the alcohol, which acts as a toxin. Because of this, the liver becomes less efficient, and is less able to process fat into energy, meaning more of it will stick around your midsection. Combine this with a drop in metabolism as you age and you get a beer belly. The answer will be different for everyone. It's important to find your resting caloric intake number and start counting calories if you want to lose weight. Include any beers you drink in that amount to determine how much beer will be too much.  For most people, between 1,700 and 2,000 calories a day is a normal intake. To lose weight, that number can be safely dropped to around 1,500 calories for most people, if you eat a modest, healthy diet, or can hover around 1,700 with a sufficient amount of exercise. A couple of beers that keep your daily total within that range should be fine. Talk to a registered dietitian or your primary care physician to create a safe plan for losing weight and cutting calories while ensuring you get the necessary nutrients and enough calories to stay healthy. If you want to lose the beer belly, it's important to start thinking about those beers as the calorie bombs that they are. Alcohol is, in addition to all it's wonderful qualities as a social lubricant, a huge source of empty calories, especially when drinking to excess. Learn to count the calories in those beers and bourbons and you'll be in better shape.  Beers can have anywhere between 100 – 300 calories per 12 oz....

TL;DR in Russian:

Не пейте слишком много. Определите свою собственную норму. Научитесь приблизительно определять количество калорий, содержащихся в алкогольных напитках. Переходите на низкокалорийное пиво и выпивайте не больше бутылки-двух. Пейте больше жидкости вместе с пивом, чтобы избежать обезвоживания. Потребляйте меньше калорий в течение дня.


Beta is the risk, relative to the stock market as a whole, an investor assumes by owning a particular stock. That's why you need to compare the returns of a single stock against the returns of an index. The index is the benchmark against which the stock is judged. The risk of an index is fixed at 1. A beta of lower than 1 means that the stock is less risky than the index to which it's being compared. A beta of higher than 1 means the stock is more risky than the index to which it's being compared.  Take this example: Say that the beta of Gino's Germ Exterminator is calculated at .5. Compared to the S&P 500, the benchmark to which Gino's is being compared, it's half as risky. If the S&P moves down 10%, Gino's stock price will tend to fall only 5%. As another example, imagine that Frank's Funeral Service has a beta of 1.5 when compared to the S&P. If the S&P falls 10%, expect Frank's stock price to fall more than the S&P, or about 15%. High risk, high reward; low risk, low reward. A stock with a low beta won't lose as much as the S&P when it falls, but it won't gain as much as the S&P when it posts gains. On the other hand, a stock with a beta over 1 will lose more than the S&P when it falls but will also gain more than the S&P when it posts a gain.  For example, pretend Vermeer's Venom Extraction has a beta of .5. When the stock market jumps 30%, Vermeer's only gains 15%. But when the stock market sheds 30%, Vermeer's drops only 15%. If you make your beta calculations and find out the stock you're analyzing has a beta of 1, it won't be any more or less risky than the index you used as a benchmark. The market goes up 2%, your stock goes up 2%; the market goes down 8%, your stock goes down 8%. A good mix of high- and low-beta stocks will help you weather any dramatic downturns that the market happens to take. Of course, because low-beta stocks generally underperform the stock market as a whole during a bull market, a good mix of betas will also mean you won't experience the highest of the highs when times are...

Betadine is an effective iodine-based antiseptic that helps to fight off the water wart virus and eliminate the warts. Betadine scrubs are available over-the-counter in most pharmacies.  To use the scrub, wet your hands with a little warm water then rub the Betaine onto the infected skin. Do this for five minutes everyday until the warts disappear. This treatment is not recommended for people allergic to betadine or iodine. Alternatively, you can apply a pure iodine solution directly onto the warts, using a cotton pad. It's recommended that you prick each wart with a sterilized needle first, as this will help the iodine to penetrate the skin. Apple cider vinegar is an effective home remedy for drying out and removing wards. The acid in the vinegar attacks the wart, causing it to peel away from the healthy surrounding skin, taking the virus with it.  To use apple cider vinegar, soak a cotton ball in the vinegar and place it on the wart. Cover the area with an adhesive bandage for 24 hours. When you remove the bandage the wart should be gone, though you may have a scab in its place (which should disappear in a couple of days). Apple cider vinegar can be used on all types of warts except those which are caused by sexually transmitted disease, such as genital warts. A proteolytic enzyme ( i.e. an enzyme that breaks down protein) found in the milkweed plant can digest and dissolve water warts. Find a milkweed cream in a drugstore or online and apply it to the water warts at least four times a day. Salicylic acid is an over-the-counter wart medicine used for treating mild skin conditions. Salicylic acid works by softening the keratin (a protein that forms the structure of the skin), in the warts and the surrounding skin. Once the warts have softened, use a pumice stone or an emery board to remove them. Certain astringent chemicals (found in OTC and prescription skin creams) can be applied to the warts to dry them out, causing them to shrink. Some of the most effective ingredients to look out for include potassium...

Betta fish are members of the Anabantoid family (gouramis are also in this family), also called labyrinthian fish. They have a back-up breathing system that allows them to breathe surface air; however, they still require a filtration system in their tanks. Female betta fish are typically smaller than male betta fish. They usually lack the long finnage that males possess. However, they can still be equally as beautiful in their own way—–and feisty! Don't keep them together though, as females still tend to be as aggressive as the males. Bubble nests (foamy bubbles on the surface of the water) mean that they are getting ready to spawn. It does not automatically mean that they are happy or healthy. If a male likes a female, he flares his gills, twists his body, and spreads his fins. If a female likes a male, she wriggles back and front. "Betta" is actually a genus of fish. The typical betta found at pet stores is the Betta splendens species. There are actually many more species mainly found in the wild, and they can look like a totally different type of fish! Don't be afraid to choose a female betta fish! Although you may not be planning to breed them, a female is always less expensive and less aggressive. Therefore, you can always buy a female if you are inexperienced at keeping bettas, it is better to choose a female.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вот несколько фактов, которые интересно узнать о петушках:


Betta fish come to recognize their owners. They will actually learn faces and even simple games. Keep your betta company and say "hi" once in a while, so he learns who you are! Betta fish are very curious and often develop a strong bond with their caretaker. They can "beg" for food by swimming up and down in the front of the tank when you come near.

TL;DR in Russian:

Получайте удовольствие от общения с новым другом.


Bettas are carnivores. Your betta's diet should consist of pellets specifically made for feeding betta, as well as a variety of other carnivorous foods. Frozen or live brine shrimp or blood worms are good options. Check the ingredients of betta specific pellets and flakes. The first three should be protein based. Experts say that protein in the pellets should be no less than 40%. Betta fish vary in eating habits from each other, so experiment to see how much food your Betta eats. Set up routine feeding times, for example, once in the morning and once at night. If you stick to this routine, you may even find that your betta will be waiting for you when it's time to eat! Take care not to overfeed the fish. A betta's stomach is only about the size of their eye. Overfeeding can be a problem in some betta fish, as some fish will eat as long as you feed them (which can be fatal). A good feeding schedule is 3 pellets in the morning, and 3 at night. Soaking the pellets in water for a few minutes before feeding is recommended since the pellets will otherwise expand inside your betta's stomach, which can cause unhealthy bloating and digestive blockage. Overfeeding can cause bloating and bladder problems which can be fatal, although this is not as serious as a similar condition referred to as dropsy. Similarly, watch your betta to see if he/she spits up any food. This could be a sign that your betta is a picky eater, or it could also mean that the pellets are too big for the betta's mouth. Ironically, most big fish food companies don't realize that Betta fish have smaller mouths than, say, goldfish or others. You can cut the pellets in half with a small razor blade or such to allow it to fit in the betta's mouth easier. If it still refuses to eat, try another brand of pellets or dried food.
