Place the smoke-saturated clothing in a plastic bag. Add two dryer sheets and 2 Tbsp (30 ml) baking soda to the bag for every three to five clothing items in the bag.  Seal or secure the bag and give it a thorough shake to spread the baking soda and dryer sheets around.  Let sit overnight. When you remove the clothes from the bag, shake out the remaining baking soda. Run the clothes through a standard washing cycle in your washing machine when done. This method of odor removal is beneficial since much of the smoke smell gets removed from the clothes before you wash them. As a result, very little odor gets transferred into the washing machine. Add your smoky clothes to the washing machine tub and fill the tub with enough water to cover the material. Add 1 cup (250 ml) baking soda and 1 cup (250 ml) white vinegar to the water.  Let the clothes soak in the solution for one hour at minimum. Add a normal amount of detergent to the water and wash using a normal cycle. This method is beneficial, too, since the baking soda and vinegar can help neutralize the smoke smell in your washing machine, too. If you find that you washing machine smells smoky after you have washed several loads of smoky clothes, you should purchase a commercial washing machine cleaner to remedy the problem.  Add as much cleaner to the tub as the label directs you to. Run the machine on its hottest cycle without any clothes in it. If you need to get rid of the smoke smell on your clothes temporarily before you wash them, quickly spray an odor-eliminating spray over the material. Make sure that you choose a spray that can neutralize odors, not one that simply masks the odors with another smell.

TL;DR in Russian:

Примените соду и листы для сушилки. Вы также можете замочить одежду в уксусе, соде и воде. При необходимости используйте средство для очистки стиральной машины. Чтобы быстро решить проблему, распылите на ткань средство для удаления запаха.


Place the spool of thread on the spool pin at the top of the machine. Hold it in place by slipping the spool holder onto the pin, as well. If you are using a small spool of thread, place the cap on the pin so that the small side is next to the spool. Feed the thread through the thread guides and around the bobbin winder tension discs.  Snap the thread into the small plastic thread guide lying directly to the left of the spool pin. With the thread held in place by the thread guide, wind the thread clockwise around the bobbin winder tension discs in front of the guide. Insert the thread through the top hole of the empty bobbin spool.  Feed the thread through from the inside so that the tail is still on the outside of the bobbin. If you're using a bobbin with holes on both sides, only slip the thread through one hole. Place the bobbin on the bobbin winding spindle, located to the far right of the machine. Lock the spindle in place.  The tail of thread should still stick out through the top of the bobbin. To lock the spindle in place, push the bobbin as far to the right as it will go. This sets the machine to its "bobbin winding" mode. Hold the thread tail and gently step on the foot control pedal. The machine should begin to wind the bobbin.  If desired, you can let go of the thread tail after the bobbin has wound a few rotations, but doing so is not necessary. The machine should automatically stop once the bobbin is full. Note that the hand wheel should not turn and the machine should not sew while the machine is in its bobbin winding mode. Cut the thread to separate the bobbin from the spool. Unlock the bobbin winding spindle and lift the bobbin away to remove it.  Unlock the spindle by pushing it back to the left. Note that the machine will not sew until the bobbin winding spindle is back in its left position. You should also trim the tail of thread sticking out from the top bobbin hole after removing the bobbin.

Place the sweet potato in a small pot and cover with cold water. Put a lid on the pot and place it on the stove over medium high heat. Boil the potato until the flesh gives easily when it's poked with a fork, then remove from heat and drain the water. Let the sweet potato cool, then peel it and chop the flesh into cubes.  Add as much or as little sweet potato as you want. You can also supplement it with corn and other vegetables.     For prettier presentation, use a melon baller to scoop the cooked flesh of the sweet potato. Set the balls aside.    Rinse the fish pieces and pat them dry lay them on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place the fish cubes in a large bowl. Add the diced peppers and salt to taste. Add the leche de tiger sauce and stir well. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for five minutes. The fish is ready to serve when it turns white. With it's pretty colors and textures, ceviche is often served in large dessert glasses or clear glass bowls. Serve over lettuce with the sweet potato pieces on the side. Garnish with cilantro and red onion slices.

Place the thick-shelled seeds in a saucer or cup. Fill this dish with just enough water to cover the seeds and let the seeds soak overnight.  Since the shells of these seeds are so thick, they germinate much better when they are softened with plenty of water. The seeds should still be firm after you soak them, but they will feel a little softer and appear more swollen. You should use a 1 to 5 gallon (3.8 to 19 L)  pot or other planting container. Ideally, the container should have four or five drainage holes. If you are keeping the container indoors, set it on top of a saucer to prevent excess water from creating a mess as it drains. Instead of using soil from your garden, fill the planting container with medium to high quality commercial potting mix. Any all-purpose, standard commercial potting mix should suffice. These flowers do not require special soil. Soak the soil with water before you plant the seeds. The soil should be thoroughly moist, but not soggy.  Allow any excess water to drain before you sow the seeds. You will need to make sure that the soil is moderately moist throughout the germination process. This stage will usually take one or two weeks. Gently press each seed 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) into the soil. Space them apart at even intervals. Four seeds should fit into a 1-gallon (4-L) container comfortably. If you are using a 5-gallon (20-L) container, you can sow a dozen or so seeds without crowding them out too much. Set the container in a sunny location where it can receive around 6 hours of sunlight daily.  If the weather is warm enough, you can place the container outdoors on a porch, balcony, or patio. If the plants do not receive enough sunlight, they might look lengthy. Bloom production might also suffer.

Place the thinly-sliced cucumbers into a colander or strainer. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt over them. Toss the cucumbers together to distribute the salt. If your sink is very clean, you can set to colander into it during this time. You can also set the colander or strainer into a large bowl instead. Do not refrigerate the cucumbers during this time. Lift the colander or strainer out of the bowl and shake it to dislodge any moisture. Pour any liquid that's in the bowl into the sink, then wipe the bowl clean. Cover your work surface with paper towels. Spread the cucumbers on top in an even layer. Cover them with another layer of paper towels. Gently press on the paper towels to soak up any excess moisture. Place the sour cream into the bowl, then add the chopped dill or chives. Pour in the vinegar, then add in the pepper and the rest of the salt. Mix everything together with a fork or whisk.  If you don't like vinegar, or don't have any, use lemon juice instead.  If you don't like sour cream, or can't find it, try plain yogurt instead. Add the cucumbers to the bowl first. Gently stir them in using a large spoon or rubber spatula. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl often. If you prepared it ahead of time, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then leave it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Place the tip of the knife on the top of the can near the pull tab, holding it in an upright position. Make sure the hold the can and knife firmly to prevent the tip of the knife from slipping as you slowly apply light pressure to puncture the can. Make sure the hole doesn’t have any jagged edges that could potentially cut you when you chug your beer.  You can use a knife, a key, or any other sharp object. The hole should be about the size of pencil tip, it doesn’t have to be a huge, gaping hole. Grab the can in your dominant hand, and position your finger over the hole until you are ready to chug. The hole you made is sometimes called a carburetor and acts like a vent to allow air to enter the can. The extra air helps the beer to flow out of the can quicker and easier. You could also hold the can in your non-dominant hand to leave your dominant hand free to fist-bump your friends during or after your chug. With the carburetor still covered with your finger, open up the beer. Bring it to your mouth and drink it as you normally would. Starting the flow of liquid before you open up the vent will cause the beer to flow faster and make it easier to chug. When you’re ready to chug your beer, take a deep breath to prepare yourself and so you don't need to take a breath later. Remove your finger that has been covering the vent and tilt the can as the beer flows out of the can. Keep tilting the can higher and higher as the beer empties to keep the flow smooth and even for easier chugging. As you’re chugging the beer, do not take large gulps in an attempt to empty the contents of the can. Instead, relax your throat the allow the beer to simply fall down your esophagus directly into your stomach. Hold your breath as you chug the beer. Consider crushing the can in your hand and throwing it on the ground after you chug your beer to impress all of your friends with your victory. Please don’t litter and pick up your can afterwards.

Расслабьте горло и позвольте пиву свободно течь, пока не опустеет банка.


Place the tip of your wood glue at the edge of your inner label, and squeeze the bottle with light pressure. As the record spins, continue squeezing out the glue so it creates lines around your record. Stop when you reach the outer edge. You should have thin, even lines over all of your record.  Your record will have stripes of glue following the circular grooves of the vinyl. If you squeeze out too much glue on the vinyl, that's okay. You will even out the amount of glue. However, if you use too much towards the outer edge, use a paper towel to wipe up the excess. If you are worried about getting glue on your turntable, you can apply the glue to the record on a table instead. The spinning of the turntable helps spread the glue across your record. Take a piece of cardboard or cardstock about 2 inches (51 mm) wide, and touch it to the outer edge of your record. Let your record continue to spin, and the glue will spread out and cover the record as it moves. Then, lift up on your card and place it at the inside of your record to spread out all of the glue.  You can leave your hand stationary and let the spin of the record spread the glue for you. You will have a smooth, even surface of wood glue covering the entirety of your record. You can leave your record on your turntable overnight. To see if the wood glue is dry, you can gently touch the outer edge of the glue with your finger. If it still feels sticky, let it sit for 1-2 more hours and try again. You can also leave your record on a piece of newspaper to dry if you do not use a turntable. Using your index finger and your thumb, pull up on the outer edge of the wood glue. Then, lift up with steady, consistent force to peel away all of the glue. Remove the glue slowly and gradually to try to pull it up in 1 piece.  If your wood glue does not peel in 1 solid layer, that’s okay! Lift up at another edge and peel away the glue until it is completely removed. Avoid touching the surface of your record as you peel away the glue. Put the arm of your turntable onto...

Place the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan and put it over medium heat. Sauté them in the pan until they become tender. Simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes so the flavors can meld. Put it in a blender and process until completely smooth. Pour it in last and blend it with the sauce. If you're using a food processor, add the vinegar while it's still running. Place it in a lidded glass jar. It will keep in the refrigerator for several months.

Place the venison roast in your slow cooker. Pour 2 cups (500 ml) of beef broth over it evenly. If you do not have beef broth, you could use venison stock, beef stock, chicken stock, or vegetable broth. In a pinch, you could even use water. Cut the butter into small chunks and distribute it evenly over the surface of the roast. If the butter has been softened, smear it over the top and sides of the meat. If the butter is still hard, however, simply distribute the chunks of butter over the surface as evenly as possible to distribute the flavor. Combine the garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl. Sprinkle this blend of spices and herbs evenly over the top and sides of the roast. If you want the seasonings to penetrate the meat even further, consider using your hands to rub the seasoning blend into the meat. This works best if you are also using softened butter since you can spread both the butter and the seasonings over the surface at the same time. Spread the diced onion over the top of the roast. Layer the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots on top, as well.  Even if you choose not to prepare the roast with vegetables, you should still add the onion. Many people claim that the pungent onion flavor masks the "gamey" taste of a deer roast. If you prefer crisp, firm vegetables, you can wait until the final 2 hours of cooking time before adding the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots. The onion should always be added at this time, however. Cover the slow cooker and switch it to low. A thawed roast should take about 8 hours, but a frozen or partially frozen roast will need a full 10 hours. Alternatively, you could switch the slow cooker on high and leave it for 6 hours. Once the roast has finished cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and carve it into portion-sized chunks. Serve the potatoes and carrots on the side.

Place the water, rice wine, star anise, spring onions, and ginger in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Set the pan on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the broth to a steady boil. Carefully place the chicken feet into the boiling broth, lowering them directly into the water instead of dropping them from a height.  After adding the chicken feet to the braising broth, allow the liquid to reach a full boil again. Once the braising broth reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, dropping the broth to a gentle simmer. Partially cover the pan and allow the chicken feet to cook until they feet tender. This should take 1-1/2 to 2 hours.  Periodically check and stir the chicken feet as they cook in the braising broth. When ready, you should be able to easily pierce through the fleshy side and straight to the bone using a standard fork. Strain the contents of the pan through a colander. Collect 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the cooking liquid and all of the chicken feet. After reserving the 1/2 cup (125 ml) of liquid, discard the remaining broth.

Place the water, salt, and soy sauce in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the instant rice and stir together. Remove from heat, cover, and let steam for at least five minutes. Heat the wok over high heat and then add a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around so it completely coats the bottom of the pan. Add the eggs to the wok and scramble for a few minutes.  Remove from the wok and set on a plate for now. Wipe out the wok. The wok should be hot enough for a drop of water to vaporize from the bottom. Heat wok over high heat and add a small amount of oil. Add green beans and onion to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they start to get crispy and brown. Stir in the egg and rice to the vegetables in the wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until some of the rice starts to brown. Transfer from the wok to a plate. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.

Place the wax in a double boiler. Put the double boiler on the stove and turn the burner to medium high. Melt the wax until it is soft and gooey. Place the honey in the pot and stir it into the melted wax. You can substitute corn syrup for honey if you prefer. Beeswax gum goes well with peppermint flavoring. You could also try cinnamon, lemon or licorice. Squeeze about five drops of flavoring into the pot with the melted wax and honey, and stir well.  You can add finely chopped herbs, such as rosemary or mint leaves, to the mixture. For a medicinal gum, add extra peppermint oil and a few drops of lemon juice. Stir powdered sugar into the melted gum base. The mixture should begin to thicken a bit. Taste the gum mixture and add more flavorings or powdered sugar if you'd like to increase the flavor or sweetness. Use candy molds, an ice cube tray, or other small molds for the gum. Pour an equal amount of the gum base into each mold. Place the molds in the refrigerator to give the gum time to harden, then pop out the pieces when you're ready to chew them.

Place the wheat-based bread flour in a large bowl, using your hands or a spoon to form a well in the center.  While not strictly necessary, it's a good idea to sift the flour into the bowl to remove any lumps and make it less dense. If necessary, you could use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour, but the resulting wrappers might be slightly less durable. Add the beaten egg and cold water to the center of the flour well. Gradually beat these ingredients into the flour until well-combined.  The resulting dough should be very smooth. Start by adding only 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of cold water, then gradually add more water as needed to achieve the desired texture. Use cold water only; warm water may make the dough too sticky to work with. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead it for several minutes, or until it becomes notably more elastic.  If there's enough room in the bowl, you could knead the dough in the bowl during this step. You should handle the dough with well-floured hands either way. Return the dough to the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then place the dough into your refrigerator. Let it remain there overnight. While it chills, the dough should become firmer and easier to handle. You need to give it at least 4 hours, but 8 to 12 hours will be best. Turn the chilled dough out onto a well-floured surface. Roll the batch into a rectangle measuring roughly 12 inches (30.5 cm) wide and 16 inches (40.6 cm) long.  You also need to apply generous amounts of flour to the rolling pin used for this step. Avoid sprinkling too much flour directly over the dough since adding too much excess flour may result in denser, less crispy wrappers. If the dough seems too sticky as you work with it, try refrigerating it for a longer period of time. Use a smooth knife to cut the dough into 12 squares, each measuring 4 inches (10 cm) on all sides. You'll need to make four columns across the top and three rows along the side to produce 12 evenly sized squares. Using a floured rolling pin, flatten each...

Place the whites in a large sink or bathtub. Add 1 cup (235 mL) of white vinegar. If the clothing labels state bleach is okay, you can substitute the vinegar with ¼ cup (60 mL) of non-chlorine bleach. Add one gallon (3.8 liters) of cool water. Soak for 30 minutes. After you have soaked the white clothing for 30 minutes, rinse with cool water. Then place the laundry in the washing machine. Add detergent and wash with cool water. Air dry the clothing. If soaking and washing the white clothing in vinegar or bleach does not remove the dye, you can try a color remover like Rit Color Remover or Carbona Color Remover. Mix the product with water according to package directions, and then soak, rinse, and launder the clothing. You should only use color remover on all-white clothing as this harsh product will strip all dyes from the fabric.

Place the wine-filled demijohn on a table or flat chair, being careful not to disturb the sediment at the bottom. Next, place a second demijohn on the ground below the first. Make sure the second demijohn is cleaned and sanitized. If you disturb the sediment, allow the demijohn to sit undisturbed for a few hours before racking. This will give the sediment a chance to fall back to the bottom. Remove the bung and airlock, setting them aside on a clean towel. Next, insert a siphon tube into the jar. The end of the tube should be resting a few inches or centimeters above the sediment. If the tube is touching the sediment, it will suck sediment into your new demijohn, defeating the purpose of racking. Suck on the free end of the tube until you taste wine. Next, quickly place the free end into the second demijohn, filling it with wine. Keep an eye on the tube to make sure it doesn’t suck up any sediment.  If you’re worried about contaminating your wine with mouth bacteria, use a suction bulb to begin siphoning instead. Suction bulbs can be bought online or from a winemaking store. Use clean hands to replace the bung and airlock, screwing them on tightly. Put the demijohn back in its cool, dark location to continue fermenting. Clean and sterilize the old demijohn after racking. Otherwise, the sediment may stick to the bottom and become difficult to clean. Every three weeks, check the wine for sediment. If you see any, rack the wine and let it sit for another three weeks. This process can take up to nine weeks. Once the wine is sediment-free, it’s ready to bottle.

Place them in a pan with two tablespoons of olive oil.  Put the pan on the stovetop and turn the heat to medium, mid-high.  Heat the onions until they are translucent.  Continue to stir the onions so that the heat is distributed equally.  You can use sweet white onions as a substitute for the red onions. If you have a gas stove, turn the heat down to medium to mid-low as you stir the onions.  Gas stoves heat much quicker than electric stoves. While the onions are frying, prepare a mixture in a bowl.  The mixture includes: 20-30 halved baby rose tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 teaspoons Worcester sauce, 3 tablespoons chopped herbs, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and a tad bit of ground pepper.  Mix together with your hands or a spoon.  Be careful as to not crush the tomatoes.  You will want the appearance of the tomatoes on your final dish. The chopped herbs could include parsley, rosemary, basil, or thyme.  Feel free to mix and match depending on your personal taste preferences. Once the onions are translucent, add the mixture.  Stir with a spoon so that the onions mix together with the rest of the ingredients.  Place a lid on the frying pan.  Reduce the heat to low, mid-low. As you are stirring the mixture, feel free to add more olive oil if the ingredients start sticking to the pan. Do this for about one hour.  Continue to stir the ingredients every 10 minutes or so, and immediately replace the lid.  After the hour is up, turn the heat off. The most important thing is to not burn the ingredients, particularly the tomatoes.  If at any time you feel as if the ingredients are done cooking, turn the heat off. Let it sit somewhere safe so that it can cool down.  Take a spoon and pour it directly over, or next to, the pap.  Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, like parsley, oregano, or basil.

Place them in a pot filled with water and bring it to a boil. Then, let them simmer for 15 minutes or until they're cooked through. Peel the skins off the potatoes and cube them. Combine 1 lb. of frozen hash browns, 3 chicken bouillon cubes, 1/2 tsp. of pepper, 1 tbsp. of celery flakes, 1 tsp. of celery seed, and 1/8 cup of diced onion in a pot. Cover the pot in just enough water to cover the ingredients. Add one or two pinches of salt to the water. Boil the ingredients until they're tender. Combine 2 cans of Cream of Chicken soup and 2 cans of milk in another pot. Stir the mixture until it's smooth. Add the cubed russet potatoes, 1 cup of diced ham, and 1 tsp. of garlic salt to the soup. Heat it until the ingredients are blended and cooked through. Taste it to see if it needs more garlic salt or pepper. Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 4 strips of chopped and fried bacon, and 1/8 cup of chopped green onions onto the soup. Enjoy this hearty soup as a main course or as an appetizer.

Place them in a single pile. This will give you a general idea of the volume and inventory of items in the cabinets. Throw away items you're positive you don't need as you go. Throw any old, unused, or expired items into a trash bag. Keep an eye out for empty product containers or products that may have mildew forming, such as old shampoo and perfume bottles. Try and find things that you can do away with, including items that may still be in good condition, but you rarely or never use. Give away these items to people who can use them.  Keep all of your essentials, like toothbrushes and hand soap, on the counter while you clean. If you can't find willing friends to take your old items, drop them off at a local charity. The categories may differ depending on the variety of products that you own, but some examples are:  Facial skin care Body care Bath Hair care Makeup Medicines Oral care Nail care Shaving Perfumes Measure the space in your cabinets and the space that your items will take up in containers. This way, when you go shopping you can be sure that your items will fit into the containers, and the containers will fit in the cabinets. Container types may include plastic baskets, clear plastic containers with lids, or wicker baskets. You can also look for other kinds of containers around your home that you can re-purpose and use in your bathroom, such as metal cans, magazine holders, and see-through plastic orange juice containers. For the items that you need to grab easily when you're on-the-go, see-through containers come in handy. Use lidded containers for smaller items that tend to create a clutter. Open-top containers are best for items like toothbrushes that fit vertically into containers (they don't have to be see-though).  Your local department store should have plenty of see-though container selection to choose from. Stick to acrylic plastic containers. Glass works too, but limit them to holding items you won't need in a hurry to minimize the chances of them breaking. Once you begin segregating...

Place them into iced water. Place back in the water as you slice them. Add the turmeric powder. Then drain and place on a clean tea towel to retain the moisture. Drop in a few slices at a time to deep fry (don't overcrowd the oil). Use a slotted spoon to add and retrieve the slices.   Once cooled, they can be served or stored. To store, place in an airtight container, such as a glass container or resealable bags.

TL;DR in Russian:

Снимите с бананов кожуру. Нарежьте бананы на ровные кружочки. Подержите бананы в воде в течение 10 минут. Разогрейте масло. Повторите процедуру, пока не пожарите все бананы. Выложите чипсы на бумажное полотенце. Дайте чипсам остынуть.


Place them on a cutting board and use a knife to slice them into 1/2-inch strips. It's easiest to stack the tortillas and cut them all at once. Pour in a pat of butter or a tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat it for a few minutes. Lay the strips in the hot butter or oil and let them cook on one side for about 20 seconds. Use tongs to flip them over and cook them on the other side until they turn a little brown and crispy. Let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.  Some people skip this step, preferring to eat migas with tortillas that are soft instead of crunchy. If this is your preference, cut the tortillas into strips and skip to the next section. If you wish you can fry the tortillas until they get quite crunchy, like tortilla chips. In fact, tortilla chips may be substituted for tortillas in this recipe if you have them on hand.

TL;DR in Russian:

Порежьте тортильи на полоски. Разогрейте сковородку на среднем огне. Поджарьте полоски тортилий.


Place them over the uncooked egg, distributing them evenly across the skillet. Use a spatula to press them slightly down so that the egg mixture coats them all over.  If you want the tortilla strips to remain extra crispy, don't poke them down under the egg mixture. Let them sit on top instead, so the edges won't get soggy. The eggs should be pretty well cooked at this point. Stir them a bit if there are still wet pools of egg in the pan. Spread the cheese evenly across the migas. Keep cooking the mixture until the cheese has totally melted. If the cheese seems to be melting too slowly, you can cover the skillet with a lid for about a minute to help it along. Use a spatula to scoop migas from the skillet onto plates. Serve with salsa, sour cream, refried beans, more tortillas, and any other toppings you desire.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выложите полоски тортильи в сковороду. Равномерно посыпьте мигас сыром. Подавайте мигас на стол. Готово.


Place these ingredients in a large bowl and stir them until they are thoroughly combined. Whisking them all together works best. This recipe makes 6 servings or around 36 fritters. Once you've combined the first set of ingredients, you should stir the next set together until you've thoroughly combined everything again. You can use canned corn or corn fresh off a cooked cob. Now, use a mixing spoon to fold the ingredients into the batter until they're fully incorporated. They don't have to stick together completely; thanks to the milk, the mixture should be a little bit loose. If it's too chunky, add a bit more milk to loosen it up. Use a deep fry thermometer to make sure the oil doesn't get hotter than this; if it does, the fritters will burn right away. You can go ahead and start heating the oil while you make the batter to save time since it'll take a little while for it to heat up. You can use a cookie scooper or a regular spoon to scoop out each spoonful of dough. It will expand and should be no bigger than a ping-pong ball. Once you've scooped it out, drop it into the oil. You can throw in as many spoonfuls at a time as will comfortably fit into the pot. Give each spoonful about 2-3 minutes on each side before flipping it over, allowing it to brown evenly. You have to keep a close eye on them during this time to make sure they don't burn. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil, shaking off the excess oil, and place them on a paper towel over a plate. You can enjoy these tasty corn fritters on their own, or you can sprinkle them with a spoonful of powdered sugar or lightly drizzle them with maple syrup. Enjoy them for breakfast, as a snack, or during any time of day.

TL;DR in Russian:

Смешайте муку, сахар и разрыхлитель теста. Добавьте яйца, молоко, соль и кайенский перец. Добавьте в полученное тесто кукурузу и мелко нарезанный зеленый лук. Налейте в сковороду рапсовое масло, чтобы оно покрыло дно примерно на 8–10 см, и нагрейте. Выложите по одной-двум ложкам теста с масло. Готовьте оладьи до золотисто-коричневого цвета. Избавьтесь от излишков масла. Подайте к столу.


Place these ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 of cup cornmeal, 1 tbsp. of baking powder, 1 tbsp. of kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper. Continue whisking the ingredients to remove any lumps until the beer has been fully incorporated into the rest of the ingredients. Make two strips from each fish. To make this mixture, combine the salt, pepper, and granulated garlic together in a small bowl. Combine 1 tbsp. of salt, 1 tbsp. of black pepper, and 2 tbsp. of granulated garlic together in a small bowl using a spoon to stir the ingredients together. Sprinkle the salt mixture over both sides of the fillets until you've evenly seasoned them. Leave them in the batter for 10-15 seconds until they've absorbed it. Once the fryer has heated, you can add the fish to the fryer a few at a time and move them around so that they don't stick. Continue to fry them until they're brown and crispy. Take the fish out of the fryer and place them in a serving platter. Season the fish with the juice of one lemon and enjoy it while it's hot.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите рыбу во фритюрницу. Обжаривайте рыбу в течение 3-4 минут. Подавайте.


Place three fingers from one hand on the top three holes and three fingers from the other hand on the bottom three holes. Blow over the flute as you would a soda pop bottle, pursing your lips and directing air into the mouth opening. If you are not getting any sound, try pursing your lips even tighter so that the air hole is smaller. Since the dizi is symmetrical, it can be held in either horizontal direction, and can be played easily by a left-handed person as by a right-handed person. A dizi can emit different tones depending on temperature and humidity, so oftentimes winter is a less desirable season to play certain dizis. Watch the shape that your mouth makes as you are playing. Take note of how your mouth looks when you are able to make noise with the flute. There are many different resources online that give instruction on how to play the dizi. Tim Liu is one of the most well-known dizi instructors, although there are a number of others as well., Once you have mastered how to play a dizi, you can start to experiment with other techniques, such as sliding and popping notes, creating two tones simultaneously, using different tonguing techniques, using circular breathing, and so on, which can be accomplished by changing the embouchure and airflow. These are difficult to achieve, so a beginner should certainly not expect to be an expert player immediately. Dizi musicians spend decades perfecting their techniques. Master dizi players typically use several dizis to be able to play in a range of keys.

TL;DR in Russian:

Place translucent tracing paper over your computer monitor or art book to trace from a reference image, or draw your own directly onto the tracing paper.  Avoid tiny pieces and complex lines until you are a skilled inlayer. Consider which materials you'll use for each piece. Use multiple inlay materials for better contrast and aesthetic. Cutting each piece of your inlay out from its own sheet of tracing paper ensures you'll end up with pieces of the correct size. Leave yourself at least one "master design" sheet that won't be cut at all. Place your master design sheet over carbon paper and trace it again to mark the design onto the wood you want to inlay.  You may also wish to include a few "reference marks" around the design to help you orient yourself while inlaying. If you don't have any carbon paper, cut out one of your copies and tape it in place, then trace around it onto the wood. You'll then need to cut out each piece and tape it within the larger design, tracing around its edge as well. Cutting them all from one trace will result in undersized pieces. Number each one on its surface and on the master design sheet in the order you'll be inlaying them. Start with the furthest background elements and move to the foreground. Cut your pieces larger on edges that will end up underneath another piece to create an overlapping effect. You can even cut the entire "implied" piece out, such as a leaf that will be half hidden behind another leaf. To ensure precisely cut patterns, you can tape your pattern onto a medium density fiberboard (MDF) and cut it out using a table saw, router, circular saw, or jigsaw with the proper technique:   Only use laminate or carbide blades or a carbide drill bit to cut fiberboard. Use eye protection. Clean table saws thoroughly to remove debris that could cause a bad cut. Clamp the fiberboard in place and score with a utility knife before using a circular saw or jigsaw. Tape the fiberboard template or the paper cutout onto the wood veneer or other inlay material. Trace the pattern...

Place two granny squares on top of each other with the right sides facing together. This method is quick and easy, and as long as you keep the stitches fairly loose, it makes the seam very flexible and soft. Thread a large darning needle with yarn. Insert one end of the yarn through the eye of the needle and pull enough of it through to prevent the needle from becoming un-threaded during the joining process. You do not need to knot the yarn, but you may do so if you have difficulty keeping the yarn on the needle. Knot the short end of the yarn to the opposite side of the yarn, just past the portion which passes through the eye of the needle. Pull the thread through the the back loop in both the top and bottom squares.  Do not pull the yarn all the way through since there is no knot on the end of the yarn to hold it in place. Leave enough yarn at the end after pulling the rest through to either knot or use in attaching another square, depending on whether this square is on the end of a row or in the middle, respectively. Bring the needle over the edge of both squares and into the next back loop of the top square. Push it through the loops of both the top and back squares once more.  Repeat this with the next set of back loops. You are essentially sewing the squares together using a whip stitch, or a type of stitch that stitches over the edge of the material rather than before the edge. Continue sewing this top edge of the two squares together to connect them together. After the two squares have been joined together, you can use the same technique to join squares to the other sides of the same two squares. Expand your squares out in whichever direction you need to in order to add rows in both directions. Knot the yarn to the back edge of the final square once you have finished stitching them together.

Place your Developer and Blix containers in a sink or a bathtub with water that is 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.8 degrees Celsius. Use your thermometer to monitor the temperature of the water. Place your development tank in clean tap water that is 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.8 degrees Celsius, and pour same temperature water into the tank (without opening it) to pre-soak your film before developer. With your agitator, agitate the tank for one minute while it is soaking. After one minute dump the water out. It is OK if the water is colored. Make sure any excess water is removed from the tank. Use a thermometer to ensure that your Developer is 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.8 degrees Celsius. With a stopwatch in hand, pour the Developer into the tank until it is level with the opening at the lid. Start the stopwatch as soon as you've poured all the Developer into the tank. Agitate the tank for 15 seconds.  Do this by swirling the tank around. Flip the tank gently 4 times every 30 seconds. Tap the tank gently on the edge of the sink to pop any bubbles that have formed inside from flipping it. Repeat this every 30 seconds for 3 minutes exactly. At 3:25, start pouring the Developer back into its original chemical container or jug using the funnel. Your developing time will be 3 ½ minutes. Do not neglect to agitate the developing tank. The developing chemicals become exhausted very shortly after coming in contact with the film. The agitation ensures that fresh chemicals are touching the film. Ensure with your thermometer that the Blixer is at the right temperature. Pour the Blix mix into the tank until it is level with the opening at the lid, and start your timer. Agitate for 15 seconds then cover. Flip the tank four times, but you do not need to tap it this time! Flip the tank 4 times every 30 seconds for 6 minutes. At 6:25, pour the Blix back into its original chemical container or gallon jug using the funnel. You will need to wash the film after you pour out the Blix. Fill the tank with tap water that is 95 to...

Place your arms directly in front of you with the fingers pointing up and palms facing you. Relax your shoulders and take several deep breaths. While you can perform acupressure anywhere, try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. With your opposite hand, place 3 fingers below the crease of your wrist. Place your thumb right below them and center it in between the two large tendons. This is the pressure point. Specifically, you're looking for the P6, or inner gate, pressure point which relieves nausea. The same point on the opposite side of your arm is known as the SJ5, or outer gate. Take your thumb and index or middle finger and press firmly on the point on both sides of the wrist when you feel nauseous. Then gently, but firmly rub the point using a circular motion for several minutes. You may immediately feel relief, but it can sometimes take up to five minutes. Repeat the process with your other wrist. Simply do several quick taps while taking deep breaths. It doesn't matter which arm happens to be on top. If you like, you can alternate arms. Do this for several minutes, until you begin feeling relief. For some, tapping or rubbing the wrists may seem easier than locating and massaging the P6 pressure point. Try tapping if you're still struggling to locate the exact pressure point. Find the bottom of your kneecap and measure four fingers below it. With your opposite hand, place a finger right below the lowest measuring finger (your pinky), on the outside of your shinbone. If you've correctly found the pressure point, a muscle will flex if you move your foot up and down. Specifically, you're looking for the ST36, or three miles, pressure point, which is one of the most widely used pressure points, providing nourishment and energy. Use your finger, fingernail, or heel of the opposite foot to apply firm pressure. You can keep pressure on it without any massage or you can rub up and down on the point. Either way, keep pressure on the point for several minutes.

Place your bait at various depths to create an attractive setup, setting out the shallowest lines first and the deepest lines last so that the lines don't become tangled. Toss the pieces off of the transom until you have a visible chum click. Toss in new pieces every minute or so to keep the chum slick constant. Make sure that your hooked baits are within the chum slick.  If you are finding fish at different depths than the depths at which you set your bait, then you may want to change your bait depth. A bluefin will be 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 m) on your fish finder and will have a characteristic hump shaped like an upside-down "V."

Place your bamboo poles in the tub and allow them to soak overnight.  As with wood, bamboo requires moisture to bend. The moisture softens the lining and hemicellulose in the bamboo cells and allows them to flex. Without heat and moisture, these molecules crystallize making them virtually immovable. Depending on the size and thickness of the bamboo, soaking time may be longer. Pull the bamboo out of the water and slowly bend the bamboo, attempting to coax it into the shape you need. If you hear a crackling sound, the bamboo has not been soaked long enough, and needs to be placed back in the water. Take a large sheet of paper and sketch out the shape you want you bamboo to take. Place this paper on top of your large piece of plywood. Using the sketch as your guide, hammer nails into the plywood, following the sketched shape. Each nail should be approximately an inch apart. Hammer in a second row of nails. This row should run parallel to the shape you just nailed and the distance between the two rows should be slightly larger than the diameter of the bamboo. Once your bamboo has been adequately soaked and is pliable, remove it from the water and place it on the plywood between the nails. Allow the bamboo to dry 1-3 days. You can test whether your shape has been set by picking the bamboo off the board. If the bamboo retains the desired shape, it has finished drying into shape.

Place your chocolate squares in a microwave safe bowl. Place them in a microwave for 30 seconds. Then remove them and stir. Keep microwaving the chocolate in 30 second intervals until it's completely melted. Remove the brownie bites from the refrigerator. Dip them into your chocolate mixture one at a time. You can decorate the brownies as desired after dipping them in the chocolate. You can add decorative sprinkles or sparkling sugar, for example.  If there is a special occasion, decorate the brownie bites to reflect this. For example, you can use red and green sprinkles for Christmas or pink sprinkles for Valentine's Day. If you're making the brownie bites for a friend, use decorations they would like. If you're making them for a child's birthday party, for example, glittery sugar may be appropriate. After the brownie bites have been dipped in chocolate and decorated, place them in refrigerator again. Chill them until the chocolate hardens. How long this will take depends on the precise coolness of your refrigerator, but it generally takes around 20 minutes. You should store your brownie bites at room temperature in an airtight container. They should keep for about 3 to 4 days. After this point, you should discard your brownie bites.

Place your clean jam jars, lids, and bands in your large canning pot filled with water. Bring the water to a simmer so the jars heat up. Be sure to use fresh lids so the seals are intact. You can use lids that have been used before though. Your jars must be hot when you fill them with the hot jam. If the jars are cold, the hot jam may cause the jars to shatter. It may help to place a wide funnel over your jam jar. Carefully pour or ladle the jam into your jar. Leave about 1/4" of headspace at the top of the jar. Wipe the jar rims and threads with a clean cloth to make sure there's no jam stuck to the outside or top of the jar. Avoid leaving too much headspace. If you leave more than half-an-inch of headspace, there will be too much oxygen at the top of the jar and processing won't be able to sterilize the space so your jam will spoil faster. Place warm lids and rings over the jam jars. Twist them on to just fingertip tight. Use a canning tool to gently lower them into your pot filled with hot water. The water should cover the jars by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil. Cover the pot and boil the jars for 10 minutes. Resist the urge to twist the bands on tightly. Fingertip tight will let air escape from the jar while it's processing. Turn off the heat and carefully use a canning tool to lift each jar out of the water. Set them on a clean towel on your counter. Make sure it's in a draft-free spot so the temperature remains constant. Let the jars sit 12 hours and then you can check the seals. To check the seals, press down on the lid. You shouldn't feel any give and the lid shouldn't spring back when you remove your finger. It should remain flat if it was processed correctly.

Place your feet about shoulder width apart, but staggered in an up-and-back position.  You should be able to rock back and forth in this position without fear of falling over, as it is the most stable. Make sure your feet are planted on the ground and you are not standing on your toes.  You will begin with your weight shifted to your back foot, while maintaining your stance with your front foot fully on the ground as well. You should hold the ball in your nondominant hand (the one you don’t write with), with your other hand laying at your side.  Hold the ball in front of your body, above your hips and just below your waist. Don’t hold the ball too far out from your torso, otherwise you won’t be able to hit it with your opposite hand. Don’t grip the ball too firmly, but rather let it rest on your palm using a gentle grip with your fingers to keep it from falling. Your upper body and shoulders should be leaning forward slightly, and you should keep your eyes on the ball at all times. Close your hand, with your fingers tucked in and your thumb resting at the side. Using your hand with a closed fist, swing your arm in a pendulum motion to hit the ball.  Swing your arm with your palm facing up and your thumb facing out. Don’t wind your arm up very far prior to the swing; bring it back the same distance as you have to swing forward. For example, if you have to swing your arm forward half a foot, then swing with your arm only half a foot behind your starting position. Shift your weight forward slightly from your rear foot to your front, in time with your swing. Aim to hit the ball just below the center, so as to propel it slightly upwards and over the net.  Drop the hand holding the ball just before making contact with your swing. Follow through with your swing. Don’t stop your arm from moving immediately upon hitting the ball, but allow it to propel forward to give your hit more power. Keep your eye on the volleyball the whole time to aid in making contact.

TL;DR in Russian:

Займите позицию. Возьмите мяч. Поправьте осанку. Свободную руку сожмите в кулак. Замахнитесь рукой. Ударьте по волейбольному мячу.


Place your feet so that your front foot is slightly ahead of the ball; this way your club will be resting near the centre of your body. Your feet should be a little wider than shoulder-width apart with your golf ball toward the middle of your stance.  Play your bigger clubs (such as hybrids or drivers) more towards your front foot, and smaller clubs (like irons) towards the middle of your stance. If you're a right-handed player, it will be the opposite. Your left foot will be about one foot — often less — closer to the hole than the ball is. If you're a left-handed player, your right foot will be closer to the hole than the ball is. Don't stand so close to the ball that you have to bend your elbows to accommodate the club positioning. At the same time, don't stand so far away that your arms are fully outstretched. You want your upper body to be slightly bent toward the ball and your torso bent away from the target, but not dramatically so. Tilt your upper body slightly away from your target. Alignment is the direction your feet and shoulders are pointed in. You want to align your feet and shoulders so that an imaginary line passing from your back shoulder to front shoulder — and back foot to front foot — is pointed directly at your target. This is called keeping your alignment "square." To check your alignment, get into your stance and place a golf club on the teeing area along the tips of your toes. Step back from the golf club and look at the direction it's pointing in. It should be pointed either at your target, or at the hole itself. Instead of being a stiff mannequin, try to adopt an "athletic stance" by bending your knees slightly. Try a practice swing with your knees totally straight to see how hard it is — and how unnatural it feels — to swing a golf club without slightly bent knees.  Balance your weight slightly on the balls of your feet. Although this is more difficult than balancing your weight on your heels, it is easier to shift your weight forward, and then backward, as you perform your swinging...

Place your flower order (if desired) and pick up any goods friends or neighbors have offered to lend -- CDs? Baskets? Cake dishes or punch bowls? Tea trays? Sound equipment? A pre-rolled red carpet? Make a grocery list for the food and drinks. Buy any hard-to-find ingredients now in case you foresee having any trouble. Grab the alcohol now, too, if you're having cocktails. As long as it's meaningful, it doesn't have to be large -- especially since you're throwing her the dang party!  If she's a bit on the OCD side, ask the other bridesmaids and attendants what they've gotten her. They may have valuable input or you could join forces to purchase a larger gift. You could always offer to pay for part of the honeymoon! Hey, that's one less gift to open in the stream of gifts that will dominate (and possibly put the snooze button on) the party. Finally, a moment for you! Since you're the hostess, you have to look good, too! Here's the excuse to buy that new dress you've been looking at.

Place your hand near the base of your fire site to make sure it feels cool. If you do not feel any heat emerging from the ground, it is likely to be fully extinguished. Also check for signs of steam and listen for any hissing noises, which are signs of remaining burning embers.  If you do not see evidence of these things, it is safe to leave your fire site. If you see evidence of any of these things, repeat the above steps to extinguish the fire. If you don't plan on using the fire site again, dump water over it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь в том, что от костра больше не идет пар и жар, а также не слышится треск.


Place your index and middle fingers over the inside center of your inner elbow. When you press lightly you should be able to feel the pulse of your brachial artery from this position. If you have difficultly locating your pulse, place the head of the stethoscope (the round piece at the end of the tube) in the same general area and listen until you can hear your heartbeat. Tuck the cuff end through the metal loop and slide it onto your upper arm. The cuff should be roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the bend of your elbow and should be evenly tight around your arm. Make sure that your skin is not pinched by the cuff as you wrap it securely. The cuff should have heavy duty velcro on it, which will hold the cuff closed. If you can wiggle the two fingertips under the top edge but cannot wedge your full fingers beneath the cuff, the cuff is tight enough. If you can wedge your full fingers under the cuff then you need to open up the cuff and pull it tighter before closing it again. The head should be face down, with the wide part of the chest piece in contact with the skin. It should be positioned directly over the pulse of your brachial artery that you found earlier. Also place the stethoscope earpieces in your ears. The earpieces should face forward and point toward the tip of your nose. The gauge needs to be positioned where you can see it. Hold the gauge lightly in the palm of your left hand if taking your own blood pressure. If taking someone else's blood pressure, you can hold the gauge in whatever position you want as long as you can see the face of the gauge clearly. You should hold the pump in your right hand. Turn the screw on the pump bulb clockwise to close the airflow valve, if necessary.

TL;DR in Russian:

Place your index fingers on the outside of your eyes and the middle fingers in the centers of your eyebrows. Push up gently and look down. Squeeze your eyes tightly shut and release by opening them again. Repeat this exercises once or twice per day, which may reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent them in the future. Put your index fingers on the outside corners of your eyes. Then place your middle fingers on the inside corners. Press gently, keeping your fingers in place, and close your eyes while looking up. Open your eyes and repeat the movement. Do this once or twice a day. Make a V-shape with your thumb and fingers at the upper corners of your mouth. Make the same shape with your other hand and place it above the first hand. Gently press in your fingers and try to force a smile against them. Repeat once or twice per day. This can temporarily reduce wrinkles and prevent them in the future. Place one hand below your neck. Keep your thumb spread far from the other fingers. Then place your other hand on top of the first and point your chin toward the ceiling. Gently pull down your chest and smile with your mouth closed. This can reduce wrinkling around your neck while strengthening the muscles. It may also prevent more wrinkling in the future.

Place your jewelry in a clean mason jar or another suitable container. Cover it with white vinegar, so that it is completely immersed. You can let it sit for two or three hours, depending on how much tarnish you need to remove. Then, rinse and dry the jewelry. If the piece is only moderately dirty, it should be pretty clean after fifteen minutes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Погрузите ювелирные украшения в белый уксус.


Place your knight directly between the two pieces on the closest file to either side of the king or rook line. Say something like: "wouldn't this suck, this is called a fork. I've put two pieces in danger and I can take your rook free of charge." To accentuate this fact, do the same, replacing your student's rook with their queen. Place one of your bishops at the opposite corner. Explain that they have to get their king out of danger but will lose their queen because of it. Explain that this is a pin and because the king has to move, it is also a discovered attack. Place your bishop so that it attacks the rook and the king. Tell them that this is a pin, fork, and a discovered attack all in one. Many chess tournaments require you to take notation while playing to let you analyze it after playing and improve your game. Many chess boards should have the alphanumeric system already on it.  The length of the board runs from a to h (from white's perspective; if black, it is reversed. The width of the board runs from 1 to 8 (from white's side to black's side; again, reversed if from black's perspective). If white, the bottom right corner should always be white. This square is called h1. Rows are called "ranks"; columns are called "files." If there are no pawns in a file, it is said to be "open." If only one pawn of one color is on a file, it is "semi-open." If pawns of different colors, then it is a closed file. If they demonstrate correctly, then play them in a game.  Teach them simple openings. Openings should not be analyzed into much detail unless they are highly advanced players. Basic opening principles should be taught, however, including the three objectives of the opening:  Open up your diagonals to let the pieces develop. Pawn to e4 is the best move for white for beginners because it opens up the bishop and queen diagonals simultaneously. Teach them to develop their knights before their bishops, to castle early, get their rooks on the center (d and e) files, and attack the king using tactics. Take control...

Place your record on your turntable and turn it on. While the record spins, lightly hold the brush on the surface of your record to sweep away any impurities and static build-up. Keep your brush on your record for 1-3 spins, then angle your brush at the edge of your record and slowly remove it.  Most record brushes have 2 rows of bristles, 1 to sweep of the dust, and 1 to remove static. Be sure to clean your brush after each use. That way, you do not spread debris to and from your cleaning brush. While this will not erase scratches, it will help your turntable pick up as many grooves in your record as possible, helpful to avoid skipping parts of the song. Visit a music store or search online to find a kit. Most come with a liquid cleaning solution, directional brush, and smaller brush used to clean the directional brush. Then, follow the specific directions outlined in your kit’s instructions to clean away surface debris. Your directions will likely have you apply the cleaning solution, then use the brush to sweep away extra dirt. Combine ¼ cup of 90-99% isopropyl alcohol, ¾ cup of distilled water, and 1 or 2 drops of dishwasher fluid in a spray bottle. Place your record on a microfiber cloth, and spray the solution on your record. Wait 30 seconds to let the liquid fill the grooves, and wipe away the liquid with another microfiber cloth. Then, soak another microfiber cloth in distilled water, and wipe off both sides of your record.  This will remove fingerprints and grime that a record cleaning brush cannot pick up. Avoid spraying the label of your record. You can repeat the process for both sides of your record to thoroughly clean away dirt and dust. Locate the scratches of your record, and angle 1 wooden toothpick at the scratch. Apply a little pressure, and rub back and forth on the scratch. Do this for any and all scratches on your vinyl. Rubbing the scratch with a toothpick helps get into the small cracks and lift up stubborn debris.  Take your time when cleaning with a toothpick and be careful not to...

Place your right foot on the brake pedal and push it down, then insert the key and turn it clockwise to start the vehicle. Keep your foot on the brake pedal and shift the gear lever into "Drive." This gear is marked with a "D" on the display panel, and will be highlighted when you've successfully selected it.  For shift levers mounted on the steering column, pull the lever towards you before moving it up and down to select a gear. For shift levers mounted on the floor, there is usually a side button to unlock the lever. It can then be moved along its track into position. This is either a lever between the two front seats or a pedal on the far left side of the foot area. There may be a release lever above the lower parking brake or a button to push on the topside model before you can disengage it. Look all around the car, including blind spots, to see if there are any moving objects or beings in the vicinity. Make sure to keep your eyes mainly on the direction you're moving. Slowly release pressure on the brake pedal and the car will start to move slowly. Take your foot off the brake, use the same foot to press the gas pedal gently, and the car will begin to move faster. There is no need to change gears in relation to speed in regular road driving. In "drive," turn it to the left to turn the car left and turn it to the right to turn the car right. Take your right foot off the accelerator pedal and move it to the brake, applying gradual pressure so as not to jerk to a halt. When you wish to start again, switch your foot back to the accelerator. When you have reached your destination, bring the vehicle to a complete stop by applying gradual pressure to the brake pedal and slide the shift lever back into the "P" position. Turn off the engine by turning the key counter-clockwise. Don't forget to turn off the headlights and apply the parking brake before getting out of the car.

Place your spool of thread on the top of the sewing machine, on the spool pin. The spool should be turned so that the thread will be released counter-clockwise. Check the top of your machine for a diagram before you place your thread spool. Some machines have a small diagram on top that shows where the thread spool should go.

Place your thumb just beneath the bolster of the handle. Wrap your index finger around the handle from the other side of the knife. Bend both fingers closer together until they meet.  Note that the bolster is the blunt piece of metal in between the sharp portion of the blade and the handle of the knife. The handle grip is the option most beginner cooks naturally gravitate toward and it typically feels more natural than the blade grip. It also works well for cooks with unusually small hands. On the other hand, this grip style causes the wrist to fall out of alignment with the palm and fingers, thereby limiting the amount of control you have with the knife.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обхватите ручку большим и указательным пальцем.


Place your white Converse shoes in the washing machine along with a little standard detergent. Run the machine on a full cycle using cold water.  Do not use a chlorinated bleach or detergent. To help prevent your shoes from banging around too violently inside the washing machine, wrap them in a mesh or fabric laundry bag before throwing them in. Converse shoes must be allowed to air dry. To speed the process up and help further the whitening effect, place your shoes in a warm, sunny, and dry location to dry.  The dry warmth of the sun can help dry the shoes faster, and the light of the sun actually has a mild bleaching effect.  Do not use a dryer. Machine drying white Converse will result in the shoes losing their shape.

TL;DR in Russian:

Закиньте обувь в стиральную машину. Высушите кеды на воздухе.


Places like your underwear drawer, under the mattress, or at the top of your closet are obvious hiding locations for things. Your parents probably tried these areas when they were younger! Use strange or more complicated hiding areas for greater success.  Try hiding something in a sibling’s room. Those obvious locations become a little less obvious if they are looking for something specific to you. Note that this does not work if your parents do regular sweeps of the house for secrets. Tape things to the underside of your dresser or inside the top of the drawers. This keeps items from being discovered by a quick look under the dresser.  Another idea is if you have an old school backpack or an old bag, then you can hide things there, your parents won't suspect anything! Wrap your item in tissues or put it in a plastic bag (or both!) and hide it in the basement under some old clothes. Camouflage the item so that it looks like it “belongs” wherever you hide it.   Make sure to use things your parents are guaranteed not to use, move or throw away. Storing the item in a plastic bag or wrapping it in saran wrap can open up a few additional hiding opportunities. The bottom of a potted plant will go unchecked for months, and a proper liner can protect your items from water damage. There are loads of weird and wonderful ways of making one, and they are often easy to make. Grab old appliances, bottles, jars or other items that aren’t in heavy use anymore and see if they can support a few small items. This is especially useful if your household doesn’t use certain items such as television remotes or products that aren’t often kept in the storage container they come with.   Pull off the plastic head of a spray deodorant can and remove the cover to where the deodorant is stored (this comes off easily with the help of some basic tools). Put the plastic head back on (use this as a lid). Old bottles or food containers make for good hiding places and can easily blend in with your room. Combine with a good liner and store in...

Placing a bowl or dish between you can coax attendance, which should always be rewarded to begin the session. Please note:  This method relies on the “clicker training” technique with the use of a “target,” such as a ping-pong ball stuck on the end of a chopstick. If the cat tries to extend its nose or mouth to the target, withdraw it, wait five seconds, then try again. Over time, reward only paw movements toward the target, then only those that touch the target, then only those with the same paw (either front right or front left).  Withdraw the target, wait, then try again for wrong-paw or weak paw movements. For this method, you will need to be able to click and offer the treat using the same hand, since the other is holding the target.  Practice beforehand so you can do the move properly each time. Try to hold it with your palm facing down, using your thumb to help grip. Keep sliding your hand towards the tip until it is covering the end of the target. Extend your hand, palm down, and “click + treat” palm contact with the correct paw. “High five” is the natural choice. Once your cat masters this maneuver, you can work on other angles for your “high fives.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Сядьте на пол лицом к коту. Держите цель над головой кота таким образом, чтобы он не мог дотянуться до нее пастью или носом. Сначала поощряйте щелчком кликера и угощением любое движение лапой. Начните держать цель ближе к ладони руки. Полностью замените цель своей рукой. Введите голосовую команду «дай пять» в тот момент, когда кот протягивает лапу. Опустите руку ниже, чтобы ваша ладонь была обращена к коту и находилась на уровне его глаз.


Placing ads can be an excellent source of revenue for your blog. With “pay per click” (PPC) ads, you get paid when visitors to your blog click on ads that lead to other clients. You usually need to already have a strong readership and high visitor counts for ad buyers to be interested in your blog. Here are some examples of websites that pay you to place ads:  Google’s AdSense program is the most widely used PPC program because it has the power of Google Search behind it. Google will read your article and find "ads that are relevant" to it and display them next to or within the article. It will also use your readers’ cookies to display ads that are relevant to their recently visited websites on your blog.  You can also sign up for “cost per impressions” (CPM) ads. These function similarly to PPC, but they pay you based on units of “impressions” (views) the ad gets, even if the visitor doesn’t click on the link. Usually, the units are sets of 1,000 impressions.  If you don’t have about 10,000 unique visitors to your site every month, you aren’t likely to make much money from ads. That’s why it’s crucial to build up your readership through marketing and quality content. Affiliate marketing is a very popular way of monetizing a blog because it capitalizes on your readers’ trust of you. If your posts always deliver quality content, then your audience is more likely to trust product or service recommendations. You can provide links or recommendations to relevant products and get a commission from any sales driven by your blog.  Amazon Associates lets you place a banner on your website with products targeted at your audience, such as diapers for a parenting website or art supplies for a creative website. You earn a small commission when people buy something through your link. Amazon pays a commission ranging from 4% to 15%. Amazon is the giant in the industry, but it’s also a good idea to reach out to small companies and even individuals who make products or services that are related to your blog. For example, if...

Placing an ice pack on the hickey as soon as possible can help to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. This may make the mark less noticeable.  Wrap the ice pack in a clean cloth to minimize your risk of frostbite. You can also place a cool spoon on the hickey, but be sure to not rub it into your skin.  You can also use a bag of frozen vegetables, such as peas, or freeze a Styrofoam cup of water if you don't have an ice pack. Leave the ice on the hickey for up to 20 minutes at time. Make sure to wait for an hour or two after applying ice to apply it again. Apply the ice several times a day for a day or two. If your hickey is swollen after two days, you may want to apply a warm compress to the area. Heat therapy helps to open up blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can promote healing.  Use a heating pad or cloth soaked in warm water.  Apply heat for up to 20 minutes at a time several times a day. Make sure to give your skin a chance to return to its normal temperature after each heat application or you may burn your skin. Aloe vera is a natural moisturizer. It may help to promote the healing of a hickey. Try smoothing a thick layer of aloe vera onto your hickey. Leave it on for about 10 minutes. Then, wipe away the aloe vera with a tissue. Do this twice per day until your hickey has healed. Though there is no evidence that this actually works, some say that holding the inside of a banana peel on your hickey can help to cool the area, which may reduce the size of a hickey. Peel a banana and place the inside part of the peel on your hickey. Hold it there for up to 30 minutes, and then wipe away any excess banana with a tissue or damp cloth.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приложите лед. Прикладывайте тепло. Нанесите на засос небольшое количество алоэ вера. Приложите к засосу банановую кожуру.


Placing steel wool in vinegar will, over time, dissolve the wool. This combines with the vinegar to create an aging stain. Fill a glass jar with vinegar, and place a fist-sized chunk of steel wool inside it. Let it settle for a minimum of one day, but up to five days for a darker solution. Sand it to remove any stain or coating which might prevent your aging solution from adhering properly. Boil black tea to brush onto the wood prior to using your steel wool solution. Tea contains tannic acid, which reacts with the vinegar stain and darkens it. The tea will not add any color by itself, it will only make the wood appear wet. Use a paintbrush to give a thorough coat to the wood. You should see an immediate change in color, which will dry after a few hours. Only one coat is necessary to give the “aged” look, but multiple coats can be applied to darken the wood. Allow time to dry, and then use a damp rag and cold water to remove any residue from the steel wool. This can be the finished product, but if desired, a wax coating can be applied to preserve the effect.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание, что происходит во время  взаимодействия стальной ваты и уксуса. Сделайте раствор из стальной ваты и уксуса. Подготовьте древесину. Используйте чай. Используйте раствор из стальной ваты и уксуса. Завершите работу.


Placing the cut side down helps trap moisture in the ham. It also prevents the glaze that normally comes on spiral sliced hams from drying out or getting stuck to the bottom of the pan. The ham itself should be covered, and the foil should wrap around the edges of the baking dish. Heavy aluminum foil (as opposed to regular aluminum foil) will help protect the ham from drying out. With your oven set at 325 Fahrenheit (163 Celsius), heat the ham for about 10 minutes for every pound (0.5 kg) of ham. The internal temperature of the ham should reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) for store-bought ham and 165 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius) for leftover ham. Pull the ham out of the oven about halfway through the cook time. Pull away a corner of the foil and stick a meat thermometer into the ham. It should be at about 160 degrees Fahrenheit (81 degrees Celsius). If you notice the ham turning white and drying out, add a bit more water to the dish and rewrap it before putting it back in the oven. Place the slices on a microwave-safe plate and cover the plate with a piece of paper towel. Heat the ham for about one minute per slice.

Plain white vinegar is a safe and natural method to remove bad odors from your laundry, including the smell of mildew. In addition to killing the bacteria that cause odor, vinegar strips away most of the product buildup that could be trapping odor in your clothes.  If you like, you can use half the detergent you normally use in combination with the vinegar, as long as the detergent is not made from a natural soap.  Vinegar breaks down the fats in natural soaps, such as castile soap, rendering both ineffective if the two are combined. Vinegar and baking soda both kill mold and mildew, but they attack different strains of these odor-causing bacteria. If you’ve already tried vinegar and your clothes still smell moldy, add 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of baking soda into the wash, and run the cycle with the hottest water possible. It may help to add a little vinegar into the rinse cycle after washing with baking soda. Regular detergent may not be able to kill mildew, so if you prefer to use a stronger, store-bought detergent, opt for one containing oxygen bleach, or dissolve borax in hot water and add it to the wash. You can use oxygen bleach in place of your regular detergent, but borax is usually used in addition to detergent. If you accidentally leave your damp workout clothes in your gym bag, the combination of mildew and body odor makes it especially difficult to get the smell out of the fabrics. Choose a product that has enzymes for destroying odor, then add it to your wash. Some commercial laundry detergents contain odor-fighting enzymes, or you can purchase a bottle of laundry booster that you use in addition to your regular detergent.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте вместо стирального порошка 1 стакан (240 миллилитров) уксуса. Если неприятный запах не исчез, добавьте при стирке 1/2 стакана (130 граммов) пищевой соды. Если вы предпочитаете стандартные моющие средства, используйте кислородный отбеливатель или буру. Если плесень вызвана потом, используйте ферментное средство для удаления запахов.


Plain white vinegar is extremely acidic, which gives it antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties. Not only can it kill mold and mildew, it can also help loosen and lift other debris from your carpet. To make a cleaning solution, mix 2 cups (0.47 L) of warm water with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of baking soda in a spray bottle.  Shake the mixture thoroughly and apply liberally to your carpet. Make more as needed. Note that the room will smell strongly of vinegar until the mixture dries. Once the mixture has dried, vacuum the room completely. Mix 4 tablespoons (59 mL) of 3% hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of dye-free mild soap, such as Dr. Bronner’s. Blend them into roughly 6 cups (1.4 L) of hot water. This mixture is ideal for home carpet cleaning machines.  Find 3% hydrogen peroxide at a pharmacy or grocery store. Hydrogen peroxide may lighten the color of darker carpets. As long as you keep the percentage of hydrogen peroxide below 3%, however, this risk is minimal. Use white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide together for extra cleaning power. Blend 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of white vinegar with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) each of hydrogen peroxide and mild dye-free soap in a spray bottle.  Fill the rest of the bottle with warm water. Especially when using hydrogen peroxide to clean your carpets, test your cleaning solution to ensure that you won’t accidentally cause discoloration. Simply wet a towel with your cleaning solution and rub it on the carpet in the corner of the closet, for instance. Let it sit for a few minutes, blot with a dry towel, and wait 24 hours.  If no fading or other discoloration occurs, your mixture is likely safe to use on the rest of the carpet.

Plan a sit-down conversation with one or both of your parents. Schedule a time when they are not busy trying to make dinner or heading out the door for work. Make time to talk seriously and openly with your parents about what’s getting you into trouble. Turn off the TV and your phone so that you can give the conversation your full attention. Knowing what you want to say will help you figure out what is the most important parts to focus on. A plan can also help you say the hard parts that you might be nervous about.  A plan will also help you figure out what end result you’re looking for. Do you want to be grounded for less time? Do you want to get a phone? Do you want to attend a concert with your friends? Figure out what it is you want, but be realistic. If you’re already in trouble, don’t expect that your parents will suddenly change their mind after a calm conversation with you. Apologize for whatever got you into trouble. Your parents will appreciate that you acknowledge your wrongdoing. Saying sorry can go a long way. Even if you don’t think you did something wrong, try to understand the problem from your parents’ point of view. How do they view your actions? It’s a good rule of thumb throughout life to tell the truth. Your parents know you well and they are pretty good at detecting lies. If you start by lying, you can get caught in your lies if they don’t match up. Even if the truth is difficult to say, your parents will value your honesty and maturity. Keeping your temper in check will help your cause, because you will demonstrate that you can have a mature, calm discussion without automatically getting defensive or saying something rude. You may not get completely out of trouble by having a conversation with your parents, but you can make conditions better for yourself. Give a little and your parents will probably give a little too. This conversation may also lay the groundwork for keeping yourself out of trouble in the future. Talk with your parents in a respectful tone without sarcasm or anger....

TL;DR in Russian:

Выделите время, чтобы поговорить с родителями. Подумайте о том, что вы скажете. Несите ответственность за свои поступки. Говорите правду. Не раздражайтесь. Будьте готовы пойти на компромисс. Проявляйте уважение и будьте позитивным. Попросите своего брата или сестру поговорить с родителями.


Plan ahead and get a good night's sleep before your presentation. Being fatigued during your speech will minimize your ability to deal with the stress of giving a speech. If you have trouble falling asleep, drink some warm milk and think some pleasant, relaxing thoughts. It may also help to listen to a relaxation tape or soft music, or to do some light reading before going to sleep. If you can, clear your calendar of stressful events that could interfere with your ability to concentrate and speak confidently and sincerely. In other words, don't schedule a job interview, a dentist visit, or a meeting with your ex-spouse's lawyer on the same day you are going to deliver that all-important speech. Some people mistakenly think that drinking lots of coffee or alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or popping a tranquilizer before speaking will improve their delivery. However, mood-altering substances are a crutch you don't need. It's best to avoid these substances altogether so that you can use all of your mental abilities to get through the speech. One problem with taking mood-altering substances before a speech is that you can't necessarily regulate the dosage. You don't know how much is too much and, once it is in your bloodstream, there is little you can do about it. Your relaxation may turn to sluggishness. Your pep may turn to jitters. If you have excess energy before your speech, you can get a little of it out by exercising. Do a light workout that gets rid of some of your excess energy but doesn't exhaust you completely. For example, you could do a gentle yoga class or go for a walk a few hours before your speech to get you relaxed and ready. Take some time to pick an outfit that is both comfortable and professional. Polish your shoes and comb your hair. Wear attractive, flattering, professional-looking clothing. When you look good and are comfortable, it will help you feel confident.  If you aren't sure what looking good is all about, talk to friends and family members that have good style. Talk to them about the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Plan at least 3 months out so that you have ample time for publicity and to create a large e-mail invite guest list. Give your guests a six week "Save the Date" e-mail.  Make sure formal invites (via mail or email) are dated no less that 2  weeks out. This gives your guests ample notice and gives you time to prepare the party of the year. Here are things to consider:  Pick a date when nothing else is happening. If there's a big community event going on or your friends always have "wines day Wednesdays" for example, avoid partying on that day. You want people to come to your party, right?! Make sure to check sports, community, church and other organization calendars before finalizing your date. You would not want to plan a 6pm event downtown if a major sports event is scheduled with in an hour of your event. Think about things like traffic, commute time, event parking and other factors that could lower your attendance. Does the time or date conflict? Will parking be plentiful and free? Will the commute for the majority of the guests be short? You don't have to have your party at night. How about a brunch party? Everyone's looking for an excuse to eat pancakes and drink mimosas over the weekend, aren't they? It's easiest if the party is at your home, though it can be somewhere public like a community center, restaurants or a bar, but you could also look into venues for rent (community centers, parks, historical areas, recreational or sports centers.) Usually only 20% to 25% of the invited guests attend. A good rule of thumb is "the more the merrier." However, you don't want your guests packed in like sardines, so consider the place you're working with and how many mouths you need to feed! If you want 200 people in attendance make sure you have ample time to create a minimum of an 800 e-mail guest list. Remember, people always come late or sometimes never show. Also, if guests are bringing friends it could get out of hand rather easily. On the  invitation, indicate whether or not it's okay to bring uninvited...
