If you find yourself wondering “Where does all the time go?”, this is a great way to find out. For one week, write down everything you do while using the Internet. What websites you visit, how much time you spend on each, how often you refresh or update pages, each time you click on an embedded link, etc. Often our worst Internet time-wasting habits are things we do mindlessly. Make sure you include the time you spend using the network on your smart phone or other hand-held device. For people with on-the-go lifestyles, this is often where we clock in most of our Internet hours! Checking our email or refreshing our Twitter feed every five minutes is an impulse that keeps us from being able to focus on longer tasks. If the paper we’re researching begins to feel frustrating or boring, it seems harmless to take a 10-second break in order to see if something more exciting is going on in another window. The problem, though, is that all these little breaks, plus the time it takes us to refocus our attention as it shifts back and forth, really add up. Particular habits will vary from person to person, but some examples might include:  Do you check your email fifty times in a day? Perhaps you spend an appalling amount of time on celebrity gossip blogs or websites? Maybe you keep yourself logged in to Google Chat or Facebook Messenger when you’re doing other things, and find you are frequently interrupted by friends looking to chat? Or maybe you find that after thirty minutes of concentrating hard on something, you get a sudden intense “craving” to see if anyone new has “liked” your new Facebook profile picture, and then just get sucked into your newsfeed for an hour or more? It might seem like your friend is being hyperbolic when she says something like “I’m totally addicted to my iPhone!”, but there’s actual science behind this. Technology dependence actually changes the way our brains work, very similar to the changes a brain undergoes in the instance of drug, alcohol, or gambling addictions.  The culprit is a...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you focus on the actions of others, you’ll dwell on what-ifs and moments that cannot be changed. Instead, try to spend your time and energy on your personal actions. Moreover, focusing on your choices and actions will help you to live in the present, rather than focusing on the past. Examples of personal actions and choices you can focus upon include:  Acknowledging and working through your emotions Acting with kindness and generosity toward others, including your former friend Deciding to spend time with your other friends and family members Working to move forward with your life This will allow you to gain distance from the person, which will enable you to refocus time and energy that you previously would have given to your friend. Better still, when you stop interacting with your friend, you are less likely to think about them as well. Finally, in ceasing all contact with your former friend, you are ensuring that no negative interactions between the two of you come to fruition. You might consider cutting off contact with your former friend by:   Blocking their phone number Ignoring and/or deleting emails Not returning text messages Unfriending or blocking them on social media Avoiding them in face-to-face situations Being your own friend means learning about yourself and accepting yourself for who you are. Practice self-compassion by speaking kindly to yourself and finding solo activities that make you feel confident and empowered.  For example, you might enjoy writing or hiking by yourself. Set some personal goals and make a plan for achieving them. Make sure these goals are something personally meaningful, not a way of getting attention from your former friend or making them jealous. You need time to process the dissolution of your friendship. While you are processing your loss, you need to make sure that you are caring for yourself. Make sure that you are eating properly, getting enough rest, working through your emotions in a healthy manner, and not isolating yourself. Remember that sometimes you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сосредоточьтесь на том, что вы можете контролировать. Оборвите все контакты с бывшим другом. Займитесь чем-то, что отвлечет вас от потери. Поработайте над собой.


If you focus on yourself and your self-esteem you can deal with an ex who seems ok after your breakup. Boosting your self-esteem will make it possible for you to recover from the breakup and be okay like your ex.  Make a list of all of the good things about you. Include things about the way you look, skills you have, and things about your personality. Use positive self-talk with yourself. For example, get in the mirror and tell yourself, “I’m a great person with a lot of great qualities.” When you are dealing with a breakup, even if your ex seems fine, you need to do things to make sure that you are fine. It will be much harder for you to deal with your ex if you are tired, hungry, or just plain not feeling well.  Avoid eating junk foods as a comfort. Instead, eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Get 6 – 8 hours of sleep each night. An hour before bed, start preparing yourself to settle down and rest. Participate in physical activity on a regular basis. For example, start jogging, go swimming, or join an athletic team. Do not turn to drugs or alcohol for comfort. You can deal with an ex who seems fine after your breakup if you make sure that you aren’t bottling your feelings up. Doing this can stress you and make the breakup more difficult to handle. Cope with the breakup and with your ex by expressing your feelings appropriately. Talk to friends and family members to help you process your feelings.  Talk to someone close to you about how you are feeling. For example, you might say, “Would you mind talking with for a little while. I’m having some feelings about my breakup.” Avoid trying to talk to your ex about how you are feeling. They may not want to talk or respond to you the way you want them to. Try expressing yourself creatively. For instance, write a song or a poem or paint a picture about how you are feeling. During your relationship you may have stopped doing some of the things you like to do in order to make time for your partner. You can deal with an ex who seems fine after your breakup if you focus...

Работайте над  повышением своей самооценки. Заботьтесь о своем здоровье. Выражайте свои чувства. Развивайте свои интересы.


If you forget someone’s name but you need to introduce the person to your friend, you can be completely honest and claim you have a brain fog. Apologize for forgetting the person’s name and then say your brain is so foggy from dealing with all the appointments you have that day. Most people understand that a busy schedule and stress can make your brain foggy, so using this as the reason you’ve forgotten someone’s name is a legitimate reason. If you’ve forgotten someone’s name, a good way to get the person to say it is to introduce a friend of yours. Find a friend nearby and say, “Hey, I’d like to introduce you to my friend.” Say your friend’s name first and then wait to have the other person finish the introduction. For example say, “I’d like to introduce you to my friend Katie Gellar”, and the person should respond by saying something like, “Hi Katie, My name is Melanie Smith”. You can find out the name of a person by getting the person’s contact information. You can ask the person to put the information in your cell phone, and then glance at the new contact listing before putting your phone away. Another way to find out the person’s name is to ask for the person’s business card. Many people carry business cards with them which include their name and contact information. Tell the person you want to keep in touch and ask for a business card. Ask the person to spell their name to make sure you get it right.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пожалуйтесь на склероз. Представьте своего друга этому человеку. Попросите контактную информацию.


If you forgot your toothpaste as well as your toothbrush, you can use baking soda as a substitute. It is an ingredient in many toothpastes because of its ability to whiten teeth and remove plaque. Simply place some on your finger, paper towel, or washcloth before brushing your teeth. Salt has natural antibacterial qualities and can eliminate some of the plaque-causing germs in your mouth when you don’t have any toothpaste. Combine 1–2 teaspoons of salt to 8 ounces of lukewarm water and allow the salt to dissolve in the water. Then dip your finger, paper towel, or washcloth in the saltwater before brushing your teeth. You can also use the salt water to rinse your mouth out after brushing. Don’t use too much salt or use this method frequently if you have metal fillings, as salt is corrosive. Strawberries contain vitamin C to maintain gum health, a powerful astringent that helps remove plaque, and malic acid which whitens teeth. Alone or combined with baking soda, crushed strawberries are a good substitute for toothpaste.  Be sure to rinse thoroughly after brushing, as strawberries also contain sugar, which can contribute to tooth decay. Be aware that strawberries contain fructose. This is less dangerous to your teeth than sugar, but may still contribute to some decay. Check with your dentist before starting to use a homemade strawberry toothpaste.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите вместо зубной пасты пищевую соду. Попробуйте смесь соли и воды. Сделайте зубную пасту из клубники.


If you frequently pass your crush in the halls, plan on giving him the note during that time. You won’t have too much time before you have to get to your next class, so you won’t have to worry about standing around and talking awkwardly.  If you’re too nervous or anxious to pass the note yourself, give it to a friend to pass on. Make sure you choose a friend that you trust, just in case they decide to read the note themselves and tell others what it says. You could also give him the note in class. He’ll probably be thrilled to have something to do (other than focusing on the lesson and studying, of course). Just make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. You don’t want your teacher to find it and confiscate it, or worse, read the note out loud. If you don’t want to give the note directly to your crush and you feel weird asking someone else to do it, slide the note through the slots in his locker. Just make sure you’re putting the note in the right locker. If you feel that you couldn’t possibly give your note at school, try sending it through e-mail. Some people believe that e-mail is not romantic, but that’s actually not the case. As long as you’re being honest and sharing your feelings, your crush won’t really care how you send them over. You can also send your note as a text or Facebook message. Whatever medium you feel most comfortable using, do that. If you’re absolutely convinced that you couldn’t possibly send your crush a letter with your name on it, try leaving your name off. Your crush won’t know who his secret admirer is, but some people like a mystery. Just know that if you want to actually pursue a relationship with your crush, you’re going to have to come clean about it eventually.

TL;DR in Russian:

If you frequently use lotion on your hands, you may be inadvertently making them clammy. While some lotions (like those that contain antiperspirant chemicals) can actually help dry your hands out, others can make them more moist. Some substances, like petroleum jelly, can even make your hands extra wet or greasy. If you use lotion frequently, consider switching your go-to lotion for one that's lighter or one that's specifically formulated to have a drying effect. Gloves, pockets, and any other types of clothing that surround the hands can lead to excess sweating and moisture. These items trap moisture and heat against the hand, causing the hands to produce more sweat and making it more difficult for the sweat that is produced to evaporate. To fix this, simply leave your hands uncovered throughout the day when you can — their natural moisture should evaporate more freely. If it's too cold to leave your hands uncovered, try using fingerless gloves or gloves made out of a lighter material if possible. Ideally, these will keep your hands warm while allowing some air to reach them. Sometimes, even something as simple as a person's diet can lead to excessive sweating. Certain foods can trigger a sweating response, which, if you're susceptible to clammy hands, can make your problem much worse. Consider avoiding the following food and drink items if they're frequent additions to your diet:  Spicy foods: Believe it or not, hot, spicy foods trigger the same responses in your body that are caused by actual physical heat, often leading to sweating.  Caffeine: Some people sweat if they consume excessive caffeine because the chemical stimulates the nervous system leading, to jumpiness, heightened activity, nervousness, and so on. The effect is often greatest when drinking hot caffeinated beverages.  Alcohol: For some people, getting drunk or "buzzed" can lead to excessive sweating due to a process called vasodilation in which the body's blood vessels expand and increase the temperature of the skin, giving the feeling of...

If you froze cilantro just on its own, without any butter or oil, you can break off a few leaves, and add it to guacamole or cilantro chutney. You do not need to defrost it. You can also use it in salad dressings. Because it already contains oil, you will need to adjust your recipe and use less oil. A single cube of frozen cilantro will contain about a tablespoon of oil. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes for it to thaw. Once it thaws, you can spread it on bread or crackers. Once frozen, cilantro loses some of its crispness. When it becomes defrosted, it will appear wilted and mushy. This may detract from the appearance (and texture) of salsa and salad. Once frozen cilantro starts to thaw, it will begin to look wilted and mushy. If you need to garnish something, consider using fresh cilantro instead. Frozen cilantro won't last forever, although it will certainly last longer than fresh cilantro. Here are some guidelines as to by when you should use your cilantro:  Use frozen cilantro within two months. Use cilantro frozen in oil within three months. Use frozen cilantro butter within a month. If you thaw it and put it in the fridge, use it within five days.

If you gave out your personal information or gave a scammer money, you will want to report the scam to the proper authorities. When you contact various reporting agencies, they will want to look over any evidence you have regarding the scam. Therefore, if you received any suspicious mailings, got any voicemails, or were handed any paperwork in person, keep it. This information will help identify the source of the scam and what they are attempting to do. In addition to keeping documents you received, you will also want to take your own notes of what is happening. These notes will help you remember details when it comes time to report, and it will help you describe the scam accurately. For example, if you contacted someone regarding the scam, write down who you contacted, what you talked about, how long the conversation was, and what the outcome of that conversation was. If someone called you asking for money or personal information, write down the number they called from, who they said they were, and what they asked for. If you have friends or family who witnessed the scam take place, or who have seen the emails or other solicitations, ask them to write a brief statement about what they saw. These statements can help back up your story and provide additional information that you may have missed. Additionally, if you know others who were victims of the same scam you were, ask them to report the scam with you. The more people you can get to join you, the more seriously your complaints will be taken.

If you generally use styling product when doing your hair, pick a mousse or styling spray. Mousse and spray products are lightweight, while creams or serums will weigh down your hair, making it look limp. Try to pick a mousse or spray that is volumizing.  Use an oil-free product, especially if your hair is oily as well as fine. Don’t use too much product. Even lightweight formulas can weigh down hair when used excessively. Heat stylers like curling irons or straightening irons can cause damage to any hair type, but they are particularly harsh on fine hair. It’s best for your hair not to use irons at all, but if they are an important part of your beauty routine, use a heat protective spray before using heat tools. Heat protective sprays coat the strands of your hair so that they are not damaged by the heat of the iron. Always start with the lowest setting on your hair iron or dryer. Since heat is damaging to delicate, fine hair, always start off with the lowest heat setting when using a dryer or iron. Increase the heat gradually if the cooler setting does not have the desired effect. Letting you hair dry whenever is possible is best for dry hair. People with flat, fine hair often notice that their hair gets oily very quickly. Dry shampoo is a great remedy because it acts as a powder that absorbs excess grease and oil. To use, dust a small amount on the scalp. Then use your fingers to work it over the oily areas of your hair. Don’t use dry shampoo as a stand in for regular shampoo. Instead use it occasionally for touch ups. Try to only brush or comb your hair when it’s dry. Because your hair is more fragile when wet, brushing wet hair can be stressful to your hair. Therefore, try to brush your hair when it is dry and use a wide toothed comb or a bristle brush to be extra gentle.

TL;DR in Russian:

If you get a fungal infection on your toenails or fingernails, you can see your doctor for some oral antifungal medications. Nail fungus can be treated with topical medication, oral medication or a combination of the two. Your doctor will most likely advise you to take the medication for six to 12 weeks; however, it may take up to four months for your fungal infection to fully resolve. Most topical agents cannot penetrate the nail plate and cure rates are less than 10%. The best-penetrating formulation of ciclopirox is a nail lacquer Penlac, which you apply daily for up to one year. The downside of this lacquer is that it is costly and recurrences are common; however, it is safer than oral therapy. When topical therapy is insufficient, oral agents should be considered.  Talk to your doctor about the benefits versus the risks of oral therapy.  Even with successful therapy, relapse is common.  Two most common agents used in oral therapy are itraconazole (Sporanox) and terbinafine (Lamisil).    These drugs interact with many other medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, so make sure you tell your doctor if you are taking any other medications or supplements. They can also have severe side effects, including irregular heartbeat, liver damage, decreased urine, joint pain, loss of hearing, vomiting, depression, and more. Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of these serious side effects.  Oral antifungals also require you to undergo continuous monitoring and lab tests to check for side effects. Oftentimes, the combination of an oral medication and a topical medication lead to the best results when it comes to clearing up a fungal infection. Your doctor might suggest you do a combination of these treatments. Your doctor can prescribe these to you if needed. For fungal infections that are extremely severe and/or painful, and that cannot be resolved with medical treatments alone, surgery is an option. The infected part of the nail may be cut out and removed, and the healing time will be the...

If you get a period of dry weather, water the sandalwood tree. Twice per week, give it half a litre (.5 quart) of water. It is best to water sandalwood in the evening, which prevents excessive evaporation. If your area gets below the recommended range of 850-1200 millimeters (33-47 inches) of rain per week, you’ll need to water the plants regularly. If the host species begins to overshadow the sandalwood tree, you’ll need to prune it back. Otherwise, the sandalwood tree will not get enough light. Prune the host species so that it is a little bit shorter than the sandalwood plant, so that the sandalwood gets adequate sun. Since herbivores love the taste of sandalwood trees, you’ll want to protect your plants. Avoid damage to your sandalwood tree by putting up a fence around the perimeter, which should help prevent herbivores from eating it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поливайте сандаловое дерево в сухие периоды. Обрежьте растение-хозяина. Защитите сандаловое дерево от травоядных животных.


If you get acne on your chest, back, or butt, consider wearing clothes that allow your skin to breathe. Tight-fitting clothes can trap moisture and irritate your skin, leading to breakouts. Instead, wear clothes made from natural fibers, such as cotton or silk, which allow airflow and wick away moisture.  This is particularly important when it comes to clothes that you sweat in a lot, such as your exercise gear. If you get acne on your back from wearing a backpack, consider using a handbag or satchel instead. Once you finish working out, you should always take off your sweaty exercise clothes and take a shower. This allows your skin to breathe and washes away the oil and sweat that can cause breakouts. If your gym does not have a locker room with showers, make sure that you shower right away when you get home. If you cannot shower immediately, consider using travel wipes that contain salicylic acid. Because it leaves pores and follicles susceptible to bacteria, removing body hair, by either shaving or waxing, can lead to breakouts. Instead, you might want to consider laser hair removal, which is less irritating to the skin. If you do have to shave, make sure that you use a shaving cream designed for sensitive skin.  This is particularly important if you get acne around your bikini line. You can also try gentler alternatives, like sugaring and threading. Because bacteria can hang out on your clothes and bedding, you should regularly wash all fabrics that come in contact with your skin. Bacteria on pillows can cause your face to break out and unwashed clothes can lead to body acne. Make sure you wash your clothes regularly and your bedding at least every two weeks. If you wear any hats, be sure to wash them regularly to prevent any breakouts on your forehead.

TL;DR in Russian:

Носите одежду, которая пропускает воздух. Незамедлительно принимайте душ после занятий спортом. Аккуратно избавляйтесь от волос на теле. Регулярно стирайте вещи.


If you get an infection, you're going to have to tell your parents, because you may need medical treatment. Tattoo aftercare includes not picking at or scratching your skin, which could make your parents suspicious, anyway.  Don't try to hide your new tattoo by re-wrapping it. The tattoo artist will cover the piece immediately after tattooing and instruct you when to take it off. Do not wrap it again, with a bandage, cloth, or anything else. Tattoos cannot be submerged in water for at least two weeks afterwards, so if you are on the swim team, wait until the off-season. Tattoos can "weep" for a few days, so be aware some fluid (clear or the color of your tattoo) may soak through your clothes. You should try to wear something loose anyway, so the tattoo can get air and heal. Once your tattoo is fully healed, you can disguise it with makeup. There is high-quality makeup made for this specific purpose, and it actually works. Many are strong enough to stay on all day, won't rub off, and may even be waterproof.  In a pinch you can use white face paint to cover a tattoo. Paint two layers over your tattoo (allowing the paint to dry in between layers), then cover with liquid foundation the color of your skin. A spritz of hairspray can help keep it in place.  If your tattoo is very dark or has bring colors, purchase a primer as well. This will neutralize the colors of the tattoo so it won't show through your coverup. If you strategically placed your tattoo, it should be easy to hide with long sleeves, a thick watch band or bracelet, a bandaid or a ring. Just wearing your hair down can cover a tattoo behind your ear or on the back of your neck. Try not to be adamantly anti-tattoo. Say something like, "Actually, I think they can be really beautiful if they're done well." You could even hint that you would consider getting one someday. If you say there's absolutely no way you would ever get one in a million years and then your parents see the one you've been hiding, you're going to come off as a bigger liar.

TL;DR in Russian:

If you get anxious or frustrated when dealing with math and numbers you may have math phobia or anxiety. There are four common symptoms that can help you recognize if this is the case for you: panic, paranoia, passive behavior and lack of confidence. Ask yourself some of the following questions to see if you might have math phobia:  Panic: Do you feel a wave of helplessness or terror associated with math class, tests, quizzes, and homework? Paranoia: Are you concerned that you are the only person in the world who can't do the math problems and that everyone else is smarter than you? Passive behavior: Have you given up on trying to learn and understand math entirely because you feel that you are just not smart enough? Lack of confidence: Do you second guess all of your answers and rely on others to help you through the material? As with most phobias and addictions, the first step to treatment is admitting the problem. Having math phobia in itself does not make you a bad person, but not dealing with it will affect your life negatively. This is especially important if you have a child who is struggling with math. Your own anxiety can increase theirs. Everyone has different abilities and learns at a different pace. Make sure that you are placed in the proper level of mathematics before you begin. Being placed in a course that is more advanced than you are can be extremely frustrating as you struggle to keep up with the material.   Talk to your advisors and discuss what level of math they think is appropriate for your skill level. Take a math placement test to help you gauge your level of knowledge. At the high school level or below, this may not be an option, but at the college level you can choose your professor and math section. There are many online sites where previous students have rated a professor that will allow you to get an idea of their teaching style.   Ask other students who have been in that professor's class about how they liked it. Schedule a meeting with the professor and ask them specifically...

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте симптомы боязни математики. Признайте тот факт, что вы боитесь математики. Подберите подходящий вам по уровню курс математики. Выберите преподавателя, чей метод обучения будет подходить вам. Задавайте вопросы, если вы чего-то не понимаете. Сначала решайте самые простые задачи. Давайте себе достаточно времени на подготовку к контрольной работе. Продумайте план выполнения контрольной работы, чтобы снизить уровень тревожности. Попросите дать вам дополнительное время. Пересмотрите свои привычки в учебе.


If you get bored and distracted easily when you are studying on your own, try working with a study group. You are all studying the same materials, so you all have a common goal. Look for people in your class that also might benefit from a group study session.  You want to make sure the people you choose are people you can get along with. You want the study session to be productive, not full of drama. Although you can socialize a little bit when you first meet up, make sure you don't waste a lot of time just talking. Try to get straight to studying as soon as you can. One of the benefits of studying in a group is that they can help you understand concepts you aren't sure about. If you have a question, ask one of your group members to help you understand. The whole group will benefit from the discussion. If you were alone and confused, you would be more likely to get bored because you couldn't engage with the material. Now, you can engage with the material and with each other in order to better understand the information. This can help those who fill uncomfortable asking questions in class. If you are too shy or embarrassed to ask your professor when you are in class, you can ask one of your group mates instead. This way, you avoid any uncomfortable situations and can get the help you need. A great way to learn tough material is to teach it to others. In your study group, assign each other sections of the information to reteach to the study group. This way, not only will you benefit from teaching it to others, you will also get to learn from your group mates and get a different take on the material. Plus, with so many people talking about different topics, it will be really hard to get bored while you study. Once you have studied in a group for a while, you can start quizzing each other on the information you have been learning. You can make flash cards or try a round robin approach, where each group member asks a question to the group and, once it gets answered fully, the next person gets to ask the question....

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите компанию для учебы. Задавайте друг другу вопросы. Принимайте участие в обсуждении. Проводите викторины. Изучайте материал в игровой форме.


If you get involved in a romantic relationship, you need to make your boundaries clear. Talk to your partner about why you're choosing to practice abstinence and make your expectations and boundaries clear.  It's important to be as straightforward as possible. Many people do not understand why someone would practice abstinence and how they manage to keep sexual desires in check. Explain to your partner why practicing abstinence is important to you, what reasons you have for doing so, and how abstinence will affect your romantic relationship. There are different levels of abstinence. Some people do not want any physical contact, including kissing and hand-holding. Others allow kissing, making out, and some light touching but no activity that could lead to orgasm. Some people practice an "everything but" approach, only abstaining from activities that involve genital to genital contact or penetration. Explain to your partners where your boundaries lie and what is and is not acceptable contact on your terms. Your partner might be unsure how to support you, so talk about what you like to do instead of having sex. Talk about planning fun date nights that limit sexual temptation. Things like hiking together, volunteering together, and attending events with friends and family members can help you both avoid temptation and respect one another's boundaries. There are way to intimate that do not involve sexual activity. The following activities can be fun ways to feel intimate with your partner without engaging in sex:  Taking time to talk can help. Without the pressure to fill time with sex, you can spend late nights sharing stories and discussing ideas and opinions on a wide variety of topics.  Touching can help with intimacy. Snuggling, holding hands, kissing, and generally remaining physically connected to your partner can foster feelings of intimacy without sexual activity. Abstinence is sometimes looked down on. If your partner is being disrespectful, it is not worth your time or energy to stay with this person....

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте откровенны относительно своего решения и границ. Найдите другие способы испытывать близость. Замечайте неуважение.


If you get on someone's bad side during a first encounter, it's hardly a bad idea to humble yourself. People frequently put their foots in their mouths when they are nervous or self-conscious. Explain this to the other person. However, don't come off as if you are making an excuse for your behavior. Odds are, the person has once been in your shoes; they may understand where you're coming from. Sometimes, a misstep is not so obvious and you may not be presented with an opportunity to apologize for something you said or did. In these cases, it's best to display pivotal behaviors that counteract the offensive ones.  If your shyness is being received as rudeness, make an effort to smile more, start a conversation, and ask the other person questions. This can happen without any indicator to them that you are making a pivot. They will assume they judged you too quickly and assimilate these new interactions into their impression of you. On the contrary, if you have a tendency to come off as over-bearing and you ruffle someone's feathers, quickly adjust your behavior as needed. You might try to sit back and not respond to every statement made, but rather nod your head, smile, and listen more. This also works for interruptions, which can be seen as offensive in some settings. Acknowledge the misstep by saying "My apologies for the interruption." and ensure that your subsequent behavior is characterized by taking turns and listening until the other speak has finished. Many social faux pas happen during first impressions because a person is putting on airs.  Be yourself when you meet new people. Or, better yet, be the best version of yourself. If you don't like speaking in front of others, don't put yourself in an uncomfortable position by signing up to lead a presentation. This might lead to a bad, false impression. Instead, highlight the talents that you do have. If you're highly organized, you can volunteer to put together the information packets for the presentation or research complicated concepts that may need...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проявите смирение. Измените поведение. Не притворяйтесь другим человеком. Обратитесь за советом.


If you get sleepy while you study, movement can help wake you up. Instead of browsing the internet during your break, stand up from your desk. Stretch and run in place. Then take a short 5-minute walk around the room. Studying too much information at once can cause you to feel overwhelmed. Instead, separate your notes into smaller sections. Each time you master a section, you'll feel a sense of satisfaction! For example, instead of trying to memorize all of your equations, focus on 1 or 2 at a time. Add more only once you have mastered the previous ones. If you're studying history, break up your notes according to event, historical figure, or time period. For example, you might study 10 years at a time or focus on the consequences of 1 historical event. You can organize your breaks around these smaller chunks. This will help you rest a little more while you learn your material. To encourage yourself to accomplish large study goals, plan large rewards for your hard work. For instance, if you study all weekend for a midterm exam and cover all the material, reward yourself with tickets to a concert on the next weekend. Having an exciting incentive in mind while you study will make the whole process more enjoyable.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пройдитесь во время перерыва, чтобы избежать сонливости. Разбейте материал на части поменьше, чтобы избежать выгорания. Установите награду посерьезнее.


If you get stressed out about tests, the anxiety will the-opposite-of help you. It's in your best interest to be as calm as possible. Here are some ideas to get your zen flowing:   Do yoga. It turns out that yoga can help with anxiety and your attention span. And if it burns calories, that's a triple threat!      Do meditation. You probably already know that meditation leads to lower stress levels and less anxiety. Just a few minutes a day may be all you need.     Sniff some essential oils for a blast of aromatherapy. Taking a whiff of lavender or rosemary can actually reduce your test anxiety. Could it be easier than that?    . In order to function at 100%, your brain needs sleep. Point blank. 8 hours is good spot to aim for, but anywhere from 7-9 should do the trick. If you don't get enough sleep, your attention, focus, and memory all suffer. So don't risk it! In other words, don't stay awake and study all night. You won't be doing yourself any favors, and you definitely won't retain the information you were studying when you were half-awake on coffee and chocolate bars at four in the morning. If you ever find yourself in that position, know that you're better off going to sleep. Having the right diet before a test can also be the icing on the cake: if your body isn't feeling up to par, your mind is going to lag, too. Try to stay away from too much processed junk -- crashing from that constant sugar high won't be much fun. Want some diet direction? Go for Omega 3s and 6s. These nutrients found in fish, nuts, and olive oil can actually help with test anxiety. Scientists are hard at work determining the link between creative potential and aerobic exercise -- turns out doing the latter increases the former for about 2 hours post-workout. So if your brain is feeling sluggish, turn to the pavement or the pool. Even low-intensity workouts can do your test scores a favor. Studies show that those can make you more alert and energized, turning your brain on for test-dominating time. No, listening to classical music...

TL;DR in Russian:

Успокойтесь. Вздремните. Подумайте и о своем теле. Разомните свой мозг, разминая свое тело. Слушайте музыку. Моделируйте среду, похожую на обстановку, в которой вы будете сдавать экзамен. В день экзамена позавтракайте.


If you get up and go to sleep at all sorts of weird hours, this can lead your body to feeling sick, lost, and dead inside. Regulate your schedule as much as possible and consider making some sacrifices in order to get that regular schedule for a while while you take care of yourself. If you're having trouble finding space in your day, try cutting out the time wasters that are so easy to forget about. Facebook, checking email, and time waster mobile games can suck more time out of your day than you think. Save those actions for when you really can't do something else (like when you're sitting on the toilet!). Every body is different and your sleep needs might not be the same as everyone else's, but if you're going through your day feeling dead inside and exhausted, it might be because you're either not getting enough sleep or you're getting too much! Start by getting the standard 8 hours of sleep, on a regular schedule (at the same time every night), for a couple of weeks. How do you feel? Some people only need 6 hours of sleep, some might need more like 10! You may have to experiment, but give your body a chance and lots of time to adjust before you write it off. Eating a healthy diet is crucial to keeping you feeling strong, healthy, energetic, and ready to tackle your day. Diet can also play a huge role in depression! Make sure to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Cut unhealthy fats and sugar from your diet as much as possible. Eat with a purpose...don't just grab whatever tastes good and is easy!  Healthy vegetables and fruit include: kale, spinach, broccoli, bananas, and citrus fruits. Healthy grains include: quinoa, brown rice, rye, and oatmeal. Good lean proteins with healthy fats include salmon, tuna, sardines, and nuts (soy nuts make a great snack!). You can also try lean proteins like chicken and eggs. Avoid junk food like chips and crackers. Even crackers that label themselves as healthy, like Wheat Thins, aren't healthy any more if you eat half the box and are still...

TL;DR in Russian:

Придерживайтесь режима. Высыпайтесь. Хорошо питайтесь. Сократите потребление напитков, подпитывающих вас энергией. Занимайтесь спортом. Не останавливайтесь.


If you get used to having a smile on your face, it will come more naturally when you need to make it happen. Even though there will always be those times where it is hard to smile, you can make it easier by having your smile ready. The mirror can be your best friend in this case. Take a few minutes (each day, or every week) to check yourself out. Treat this as an important task, and take all the time you need to find the smile that's right for you. Try out a few different options. Do you like how you look with your mouth open? Or does your smile look better without your teeth showing? Choose the one that not only looks great, but feels comfortable. A genuine looking smile is always your best option. Work on your smile like you work on the rest of your body. You'll be sure to like the results! Start by keeping your mouth closed, and stretching your lips to the side. Hold for a brief period. Next, stretch, the smile further, exposing half of your teeth. Hold this position. Finally, let your full smile fly, showing all of your teeth. Hold, then start repeating the process. This exercise will actually strengthen your smile muscles. Strong smile muscles will make it easier to hold it in place during a sticky situation. For example, if you are at work and dealing with a difficult client, it's going to be hard to hang on to that smile. The stronger your smile, the more firmly it will stay in place. In addition to using the mirror, your camera can be a great tool for you to rely on when working on your smile. Even better, you can just use the camera on your phone and take a few selfies! Take pictures of the different smiles that you have been practicing in the mirror. Pick the one that looks best, and make that your go-to smile. Pull up the picture before you head into what could be a difficult situation. Seeing yourself smile might just help you smile for real! When you're working to learn how to smile your way through difficult situations, practice by placing yourself into happy environments. Grab some friends and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте зеркало. Тренируйтесь улыбаться. Делайте фотографии. Создавайте приятные ситуации. Повысьте уверенность в себе.


If you give birth, hold your baby against your skin immediately. This will help awaken the nursing instinct, and your baby should begin to breastfeed within the hour. If you have induced lactation, do the same, but have some formula or donated milk on hand to supplement what you have. If you wait too long to start nursing, it can lower your milk supply. Breastfeed 8-12 times a day for the first several weeks. This means breastfeeding every 2-3 hours, including several times at night. Doing it less may lower your milk supply.  Don't skip sessions. If your baby is sleeping or needs to be bottle-fed, pump at the time you would normally be nursing. Don't wait for your breasts to refill. You should still have milk even when your breasts are not swollen. There are many ways to signal to your body that you would like to nurse. It may be enough to hold your baby against your bare skin.  Apply a warm compress or towel soaked in warm water to your breast. Stroke your breast lightly with your fingertips. This will relax you and can stimulate your milk-ejection reflex. You may also massage your breast much in the way you would conduct a self-exam. Press your fingers flatly and firmly against your milk glands and milk ducts. Massage them in slow, firm circles. Massage from the outside in a spiral towards the areola. Lean forward and lightly jiggle your breasts. Gravity should help draw milk into your nipples. After your baby has nursed energetically on one side and has slowed down, switch them to the other breast. Your milk supply will decrease if your baby strongly favors one breast over the other. Your baby's latch will be stronger if they learn how to suckle your nipple before they learn how to suckle a pacifier. If you would like to give your child a pacifier, wait 3-4 weeks after birth.  The stronger your baby's latch, the more milk you will produce.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните кормить ребенка сразу же. Кормите ребенка грудью 8–12 раз в день. Стимулируйте рефлекс выработки молока. Кормите с обеих сторон. Не спешите давать малышу пустышку.


If you give the guy absolutely nothing to work with, you won't get anything back. He won't be intrigued by you if you give him the cold shoulder and if he feels like you're not interested in him at all whatsoever. So, give him a little smile, a wave, or start a light conversation with him. Flirt just a tiny bit to make him think there's a chance that you like him, but not to make him think that you want him. Just give him enough to leave him thinking about you and wanting to see you again.  Use his name when you talk to him, and make a bit of eye contact. Avoid making physical contact when you first talk to him, or you may be coming on too strong. If you want to intrigue a guy, then you have to make him feel like he wants to be around you. If you're in his orbit, make sure you're having a great time with your friends, laughing, talking happily, or even dancing, if you're out -- let him think, "There's a cool, fun girl. It would be fun to get to know her better." If he always sees you moping or looking bored or sad, why would he want more of that? Of course, you shouldn't pretend to be fun just to catch his eye, but actually be the kind of girl who is out to have a good time. He should feel like he should be lucky to be in your orbit -- not that you're looking for a guy to make your life complete. If you're getting to know the guy a bit and he wants to hang out, you should be excited about it, but not act like your schedule is wide open. Keep him guessing. Maybe you have a host of other exciting dates lined up. Maybe you have some fun weekend plans with your girlfriends. Maybe you like to spend Friday nights by yourself, translating Latvian poetry into English. He shouldn't know exactly what you're up at all times -- just knowing that you're not always free will make him think that he should cherish his time with you and that you're a dynamic person with a lot going on.  Being a person with a lot of plans and exciting ideas will make you a more interesting, multi-faceted person. Don't call him all the time,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Покажите небольшой интерес. Покажите ему, что вы отлично проводите время. Не будьте всегда рядом. Не отказывайтесь от запасных вариантов. Не напирайте слишком сильно. Не рассказывайте ему о себе все. Оставьте его томиться в ожидании.


If you go in unprepared, then of course you're going to have problems. Acknowledge that you have issues with lust and then prepare yourself when you know you will be going anywhere with temptations. Preparing yourself mentally and having a game plan is half the battle. When you go somewhere where temptation is strong, follow the practice of bouncing your eyes. This means that if you see something that can cause lust, immediately find something else to look at. This is a very handy practice and can help a lot. Another thing you can try is to focus on doing something you enjoy. This is a great trick for when you're having lustful thoughts at home or in other areas where your temptation is within yourself and not from an outside cause. Having an activity which is mobile is especially helpful, since these thoughts can occur at any time.  Consider learning decorative braiding, or other creative hobbies which are easy to do anywhere. You can also challenge yourself to memorize as much holy text as possible. Another method would be to  volunteer. This is an activity which can not only distract you but it can also help you do God's work. Another way to distract yourself would be to recite, either aloud or in your own head, any verse you know. This can remind you of God's love and help you keep his laws. The best way to avoid lust is to remove the causes of your temptation. For many people the main cause of temptation is pornography. If you find that you can't focus on the important parts of life and your pornography collection is building up like the pyramids in Egypt, it may be time to take a break. Set up a filter on your computer to keep you from looking at the images.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте готовы. Бегайте глазами. Сосредоточьтесь на хобби. Молитесь или повторяйте изученный стих. Избегайте причин вашего соблазна.


If you go on a road trip or drive on country roads and pick up a lot of bugs, clean off your car within a day or two of getting back. This oily substance will loosen the dead bugs and help them come off more easily. Apply it to your car's body with a rag or using a spray can and let it sit and soak in for about 10 minutes.  Don't use WD-40 on your windshield or windows. It's an oily substance that will be very difficult to remove.     Don't have WD-40? Try a different bug an tar removing product. Your local auto store should have a selection of products you can use to take off the bugs.     As a bonus, this method works well to remove tar, too.    After the WD-40 has had time to soak in, use a towel to wipe off the bugs using a circular motion. Where necessary, you can scrub off the bugs with the towel. Be very careful not to scrub too hard, though, or you could damage your paint job.  Don't use a tough sponge or steel wool pad to remove bugs from your car - it will scratch your paint. If you catch the bugs before they completely dry, one pass should be enough to clean them off. If the bugs have dried into the paint, you may need to clean the car once, then do another application of WD-40, let it soak in, and clean the car again. You'll need a different cleaning solution to get the bugs off the glass parts of your car. A mixture of water and dish soap can often get the job done, but if you think you need a stronger solution you can find car window soap at an auto parts store.  Spray your windshield and windows with soapy water. Let it soak in for 10 minutes. Scrub away the bugs. For the toughest spots, use a scrubbing sponge. After the bugs have been cleaned off, wash your car thoroughly to get rid of the residue from the products you used to clean it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не теряйте времени. Нанесите на поверхность WD-40. Сотрите или соскребите останки жучков. Вымойте стекла автомобиля. Вымойте машину.


If you go straight from school to studying, you may feel burnt out and struggle to concentrate. Taking half an hour to prepare your mind and body for a study session can help you study more effectively.  Go for a short walk before beginning to study. Stretching by walking can help your body loosen up and clear your mind in preparation of studying.  If you're hungry, eat before studying but stick to a light snack or a small meal. Eating a heavy meal before studying can result in sleepiness. This can make it difficult to concentrate on studying. The mindset you have going into studying can affect the effectiveness of your study session. Work on fostering a positive mindset going into each study session.  Think positively when you study. Remind yourself that you are building new skills and abilities. Do not get discouraged if you struggle with something. Remind yourself you're studying because you need to improve so it's okay if you don't understand some material.  Do not engage in catastrophic or absolute thinking. Catastrophic thoughts include things like, "If I don't get this now, I never will." Absolute thoughts are things like, "I always do poorly on these exams." Instead, try to be realistic. Think to yourself, "I'm struggling with this information at the moment, but if I'm persistent I'm sure it will come to me."  Do not compare yourself to others. You're focused on doing well on this assignment for yourself. Other people's success or failure should not matter. Memory games, always known as mnemonic devices, are a means of remembering information by creating associations. They can be extremely helpful when it comes to smart studying.  Many people remember subjects by stringing words together to form sentences, the first letter of each word signifying part of a topic that requires memorization. For example, the sentence "Kings play cards on fat green stools" can be used to help remember the taxonomy ranking for animals: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.  Make sure you use mnemonic...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте тело и разум к обучению. Занимайтесь с правильной установкой. Используйте игры на память. Переписывайте свои записи.


If you go to a sports game, a concert, or a bar in hopes of meeting someone in person, be bold. If approaching someone you're interested in isn't really your style, you can still make yourself look approachable and inviting.  If you see someone you’re interested in, but you can’t come up with a pickup line or a conversation starter, buy a drink for them and ask the bartender to tell them it’s from you. It’s hard to go wrong with a simple, kind gesture.  Make eye contact, smile, and raise your eyebrows – you just might make a connection from across the room. A lot of people who swear they hate dating probably only hate small talk. However, if you establish common ground through casual chatting, you’ll be able to discuss more serious topics, and the overall conversation will flow a lot more smoothly.  Ask broad, open-ended questions. Something like "So what got you interested in rock-climbing?" is a lot better than "Are you interested in rock-climbing?" If you meet in person, talk about where you are and what you're doing there. If you happen to meet someone playing beach volleyball, say something like: "Wow, you're really good. I'll know where to come in the future if I want my butt kicked. Do you play here often?" Relate to what the other person said. If they gripe about getting to work and you, too, have a difficult commute, express your shared frustration and tell them why you hate driving (or taking the bus or train). Nervous mistakes are simply a part of dating. You might trip over your words and say something you think is utterly stupid, or make an embarrassing typo while messaging on a dating app. Instead of taking yourself too seriously and letting the awkward moment get to you, try making a joke at your own expense. Luckily, some people think it's cute if their date is a little nervous. Don't go out with anyone who shows mild interest in you. People who are more discriminating tend to be seen as more desirable, and having standards shows that you value yourself and your time.  On the other hand, if...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проявляйте интерес и излучайте уверенность в социальных ситуациях. Начните увлекательную светскую беседу, если вы познакомились при встрече или в сети. Не относитесь к себе слишком серьезно. Действуйте избирательно, но в пределах разумного. Помните об уважении, даже если человек вам не интересен. Пригласите человека на свидание, которое будет ему интересно.


If you go to sleep right after you watch a scary movie, you are more likely to have nightmares. While you are sleeping, your brain strengthens the memories and fear you experienced while watching the movie.  It is best if you do not go to sleep at all that night. However, if you cannot stay up all night, try to sleep as little as possible. The more sleep deprived you are, the less your brain can create those bad memories.  Try not to watch the movie late at night when you tend to be sleepy. If you cannot physically spend time with another person after the movie, try calling, texting, or video chatting with someone. Your family and friends are a great source of support for you. They can make you feel secure and safe. They can also encourage you, get your mind off the movie, and offer you advice about dealing with the scary movie. If you feel comfortable, discuss your fears with them.  You can also ask them how they handle scary movies. They may have some tips that you have not thought of. Do not spend time alone with someone who is just as scared as you are. You may actually feel worse and freak each other out. Just as scary movies cause you to experience fear and anxiety, watching a funny movie, video, or television show can make you feel happy. Laughing decreases your stress and causes your body to release feel good hormones. Laughter will help you feel good and forget about the scary movie you just watched.  The subject of your funny movie does not matter. As long as it makes you laugh out loud, you will reap the benefits.  If you cannot find anything funny to watch, at least watch something that is pleasant or not scary at all. What you watch affects what you dream about and how well you sleep. Reading jokes and funny stories that make you laugh are also an option. While the emotions that you experience during the movie are real, you know that you just watched a fictional story. If the movie you watched had zombies, vampires, werewolves, or some other mythical creature, tell yourself that none of those...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не идите спать. Проведите время с друзьями или семьей. Посмотрите что-то смешное. Напомните себе, что фильм не реален. Обратитесь к конкретным страхам. Займитесь чем-нибудь приятным для вас.


If you got paint on the bottoms of your pants legs or sleeves, you may be able to modify your clothing slightly to get rid of the stained area. Simply raise the hem to convert your long pants to capris or your long-sleeved shirt to a ¾-sleeved shirt. You can hem your own clothing if you know how to sew, or you can take it to a tailor to have it professionally done. Fabric paint is meant to be applied to fabric, so one way to save your garment is to simply apply more paint. Create a fun design on your clothing that incorporates the stain. No one will ever know that you didn't intend to get paint on your clothes. Don't try to cover up the paint stain with a new paint color that matches the fabric. This may not come out well. If you don't want to apply more paint to the fabric, think about other ways you could cover it up. For example, you could attach a decorative patch or even cover the area with sequins. If you don't like to sew, you can find iron-on patches for clothing. If you can't think of any way to salvage your garment, but you really like the fabric, you may be able to make something else out of it. For example, if you got paint on your favorite blouse, try making a throw pillow out of the unstained portion of the fabric. You may also be able to cut a large shirt with a paint stain into smaller pieces to make a child's shirt. This will require sewing skills. You can find patterns for making clothes online. If you don't know how to sew, find a tailor who will make custom clothing with your fabric.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подрубите вещь. Покрасьте вещь. Спрячьте участок с пятном. Используйте ткань.


If you grow Lantana from seed you have harvested, you may not get a plant exactly like the parent plant. When you propagate Lantana from cuttings, the plants you grow will be more predictable. Propagate Lantana cuttings in the spring. Take about five inches of fresh, healthy-looking growth, remove the lower leaves and dip the cutting in rooting hormone or powder. Then insert the lower two inches into a pot with moist cutting compost. Cover the pot that you have placed your cutting in either with a clear plastic bag or an inverted clear plastic bottle with the spout cut off; doing this makes a mini greenhouse of sorts. Make sure the plastic doesn’t touch the cuttings; use plant sticks to support the bag and keep it away from the stem if necessary. If you keep your cutting moist, it should root in about a month. After the last frosts have passed you can harden your cutting off and plant it out in the garden. Hardening off means that you slowly acclimatize your cutting to outdoor temperatures. This could mean moving it outside during the day, and then storing it in your garage overnight. If you do grow your Lantana from seed, start the Lantanas off indoors about a month before the last frosts occur. Seeds may take a few weeks to germinate. If you are growing from seeds, fill a pot with potting soil and plant the seeds. Keep the pots in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте осведомлены о преимуществах выращивания из черенков. Подготовьте черенок для размножения. Накройте черенок. Держите черенок влажным. Посадите лантаны из семян, если вы не можете взять здоровый черенок.


If you grow Rose of Sharon from seeds you harvest yourself, you may find that the newly grown plant doesn't look exactly like its parent plant. Gardeners say the plants ‘don’t come true’ when this occurs. If you want to try growing from seed (regardless of what the new plant will look like), you should try looking underneath the existing plant first, as your Rose of Sharon may have self-seeded.  See if there are any seedlings waiting for you that you can dig up and replant elsewhere. This will save you the effort of growing the plant from scratch. When you do this, you might like to hoe or pull out the other seedlings so that your garden isn’t overrun with Rose of Sharon! If you prefer to plant your own Rose of Sharon seeds, wait until the pods are brown and mature before harvesting them.  Some gardeners plant the seeds outdoors in the fall and let them get going over the winter. Other gardeners will start the seeds off indoors about a month before they expect the last frost. Regardless of whether you are planting the seeds indoors or outdoors, you should sow your seeds in a seeds compost. Moisten the compost, lay the seeds on top and cover with about a quarter inch of dry compost. Spray with water. If you start the seeds indoors, make sure to place them somewhere light but out of direct sunlight, such as an indoor window ledge that doesn't get direct sun. For both indoor and outdoor seeds, keep the compost moist until the seeds germinate in about 2 to 3 weeks.

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте, что растения, выращенные из семян, не могут выглядеть как исходное растение. Посмотрите на ваше существующее растение, проверьте его на наличие любых саженцев. Подождите, пока стручки не потемнеют до уборки их на семена. Сейте свои семена в семенной компост. Держите посаженные семена влажными и в хорошо освещенном месте.


If you grow herbs in your backyard or on your balcony, they can sometimes be difficult to tell apart. Many herbs look similar, especially in the early stages. To fix this issue, simply stick a a thin wooden poll in the end of a wine cork. Use a marker or pen to write the name of the herb on the side of the cork. Stick it in the soil near the herb to remind yourself which herbs are which. Using a sharp knife, hollow out the center of a wine cork. Stop about three quarters down the length of the cork.  Add potting soil to the hole you’ve created and insert a small plant. Succulents work well and will likely last the longest since they’re relatively easy to maintain. Small planters are a cute decoration for tiny plants in your home. If you want, you can glue a magnet to the back and stick your cute planter on your refrigerator to add some fresh greenery to your kitchen. If you have dressers or drawers with older, beat up knobs, you can replace the knobs with wine corks. First, remove the old knobs by opening the drawers. Unscrew the screws attaching the knobs to the drawers. Pick up matching screws at a local hardware or craft store. Insert new screws into the holes in each draw. Then, screw your wine corks onto the screws pointing out of the front of the drawers. You'll be left with a somewhat quirky set of knobs for your cabinets or drawers. This also works well with champagne corks. If you have a lot of high heels, wine corks can make great heel stops. To start, cut the cork in half. From there, use a power drill and a drill bit as big as the heels on your shoes to drill a hole into each half of the cork. Leave a small space at the bottom of the cork. Then, fit each heel into the hole, wiggling the heels as necessary to widen the holes to accommodate your heels. If you have cheese knives with unwieldy handles, replace the handles with wine corks. Use a mallet of carefully crack off the existing handle, leaving a small and thin bit of the handle in place. From there, make a slit at the end of the wine cork....

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте пробки в качестве меток для растений. Делайте горшочки. Заменяйте старые ручки винными пробками. Используйте винные пробки в качестве подставок для каблуков. Сделайте рукоятки для ножей для сыра. Сделайте игрушку для кота.


If you had CAD but your blockages were not sufficient to require intervention, you may simply receive suggestions for avoiding further episodes. You may have undergone intervention with angioplasty with blockages less than 70% or you could have had surgery to replace some of the arteries to your heart. In either of these cases, follow your doctor's recommendations about recovery. Make sure to avoid stress and focus on relaxation when trying to physically recover from a heart attack. There is significant research that we can lower the risk of heart attack with aggressive cholesterol management. This can be accomplished with medication and lifestyle changes, such as a adopting a healthy diet. Blood pressure is a primary risk factor for CAD. In patients with known CAD, a drop in Systolic Blood Pressure (the top number) of just 10 mm/.Hg decreased cardiovascular events by a full 50 percent.  There are several classes of drugs, from beta blockers to ace inhibitors, that can help patients lower their blood pressure. Contact your medical provider for suggestions, and a prescription, for a blood pressure medication. It is very important to lower your risk of having another heart attack. While this can be helped with medication, it is also your responsibility to make changes to your lifestyle that will lower that risk. Some important changes you can make include:  Adopt a low-sodium diet: Adopt a low-sodium diet. This means that your should be eating less than 2 grams of sodium per day. Focus on stress reduction:  Some people relax via meditation, a supervised exercise program, and others use hobbies, such as reading or yoga. Music therapy is another suggestion. Lose weight: Get your BMI below 30 via healthy and balanced diet. Consult with a nutritionist or dietician to create a diet that will work well for you. However, with any suspected CAD get your healthcare provider permission prior to starting any exercise program, as exercise may precipitate a heart attack Stop smoking: This is the single most important thing...

If you had a dye job you dislike, scrub your hair with a clarifying shampoo as soon as possible. Clarifying shampoos contain powerful surfactants capable of stripping away grime, chemicals, and hair dye.  You can find a clarifying shampoo at most supermarkets or drug stores. Follow any instructions on the bottle when applying clarifying shampoo to your hair.  Clarifying shampoo can dry out hair, so you might try following it with a moisturizing shampoo. Be sure to condition your hair afterwards to prevent dry, cracked hair. If a clarifying shampoo doesn't do the trick, you can remove semi-permanent dyes by adding vitamin C powder to existing shampoo. This can help lighten a dye job by lifting some of the existing color from your hair.  You can buy vitamin C powder online or at a local grocery store. Mix one part vitamin C powder to 2 parts shampoo. Wet your hair and lather the shampoo in. Then, put on a shower cap. Drape a towel around your neck to prevent dripping and let the mix sit in your hair for about an hour.  Once an hour is over, rinse your hair and allow it to dry. If it works, about 85% of the color will be gone. You might want to condition afterwards to prevent your hair from drying out. If you dyed your hair at home, call the hotline number on the box of dye. The people working at the phone center get questions all the time. They may be able to offer you helpful suggestions on how to remove color from your hair. Baking soda can help strip hair of chemical buildup. Adding baking soda to shampoo or conditioner may help remove chemicals in hair dye. It may take awhile longer to work in comparison to other methods. Using baking soda once a week may lighten dyed hair over time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспользуйтесь глубоко очищающим шампунем. Полупостоянную краску для волос можно удалить с помощью порошка витамина С и шампуня. Если вы неудачно покрасили волосы в домашних условиях, поищите информацию об использованной вами краске в Интернете. Используйте пищевую соду.


If you happen to focus on a floater, try moving your eye up and down or side to side. The movement of the eye can shift the floater and provide relief. If you have floaters that frequently disrupt your vision, new floaters that suddenly appear, or just have questions about them, talk to your ophthalmologist or physician. These professionals can help you determine if your floaters require medical intervention, based on your symptoms.  Although most eye floaters can be chalked up to a normal part of the aging process and treatment for eye floaters is not always needed, some rare cases require targeted medical intervention.  Have your eyes checked by an optometrist or ophthalmologist at least once every two years or more often if you have certain medical conditions (like diabetes). Although floaters may be annoying, they usually don't interfere with your vision so much that you can't perform daily tasks. Normally, your brain learns to ignore floaters and adapts your vision accordingly.  Nearsighted people or those with previous eye injury or certain conditions such as diabetes are more likely to experience floaters, or to experience them more frequently.  You may have floaters for years, and they may fade in time. If you notice new ones, however, contact your ophthalmologist for an examination.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пятнышки и так называемые «мушки» в глазах исчезают, если перевести взгляд с одного предмета на другой. Обратитесь к офтальмологу. Не обращайте внимания.


If you happen to run into her in a public setting, you can choose to simply walk up to her and start talking to her. This by far the most direct approach, and might take some guts. However, you can definitely do it and pull it off with a little luck. When you approach her:  Stand straight with good posture. Don’t act like you’re nervous or uncomfortable. Smile. Make sure your clothes look nice. Act relaxed – as if you have plenty of time. Texting is great because it won’t really be in her face. Ultimately, she’ll see the text and then be able to respond (if she wants to) on her own time. However, when texting her, remember to keep it short. In addition, don’t ask to hang out with her right away. Instead, engage in some light banter, joke with her, and ask her how she’s doing.  You could start off texting her something simple like "Hey! Long time, no talk." She might respond she doesn't know who you are, and then you can take the conversation from there. If she does know who you are, ask her how she's doing. Consider texting her about something you think she finds interesting. For example, if she's really into politics, say you were watching the latest election results and thought of her. There are many ways to contact her on social media. You could send a message (keep it short), like one of her posts (on Facebook), or simply comment on something she posts or says. In addition, you could also tag her in a photograph – reminding her of the good times you once had together.  Tag her in a photo and write,"Good times!" If you message her on social media, send her something short like, "Long time, no talk. What's going on?" Calling her is very direct and could be awkward. However, it could also be the simplest and easiest way to reestablish contact. Ultimately, you need to make the decision as to whether you want to contact her in a direct way (like calling) or in a more indirect way (like texting or on social media).  If you call her, you may want to start off by honestly explaining yourself. Introduce yourself...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подойдите к ней лично. Напишите ей. Свяжитесь с ней в социальных сетях. Позвоните ей.


If you have Firefox installed on your computer, you can use it to look for a downloadable video on a page; this can save you time when trying to find and download the video:  Open Firefox. Go to the website on which your Flowplayer video is hosted. Play the video if it doesn't begin playing. Right-click (or Control-click on a Mac) a blank place on the page. Click View Page Info in the drop-down menu. Click the Media tab. Scroll through the results, looking for a "Video" option in the "Type" column. If you see a video listed on the page, you can proceed with the rest of this method; if not, you most likely can't download the video. Click or double-click the Chrome app icon, which resembles a red, yellow, green, and blue sphere. This extension allows you to download quickly any Flowplayer videos which aren't encrypted. vGet won't allow you to download videos that are otherwise impossible to download. It's a blue button in the upper-right side of the page. Doing so installs the vGet extension in Google Chrome; you should see the vGet app icon, which resembles a downward-facing arrow, appear in the upper-right side of the Chrome window. This should be the website on which the Flowplayer video that you want to download is located. The vGet extension sometimes requires you to begin video playback in order to find the video on the page, so make sure you click the video's "Play" button if necessary before you proceed. It's the downward-facing arrow in the upper-right side of the Chrome window. A drop-down menu will appear. If you don't see this icon, first click ⋮ in the top-right corner of the Chrome window, then click the "vGet" icon near the top of the drop-down menu. You should see at least one video's name in the drop-down menu; clicking it will prompt the video to begin downloading onto your computer.  If you don't see any videos listed here, your video can't be downloaded. Depending on your Chrome settings, you may have to select a save location before you can proceed.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте, можно ли скачать ролик. Запустите браузер Chrome. Перейдите на страницу расширения vGet. Нажмите Установить. Щелкните по Установить расширение. Откройте веб-страницу. Воспроизведите видео. Нажмите на значок vGet. Нажмите на название видео.


If you have Google Chrome installed on your desktop, access it from there instead. Chrome should come up in the search window, and it will be listed as a “Desktop App”. This will take you to Google Chrome’s directory—for example, your “Documents” folder. This will open the Properties menu. This will allow you to choose from a couple of the default icons included in Chrome’s installation.  This will save your changes. You now have a new icon! If your Chrome icon was pinned to your taskbar or Start menu beforehand, you’ll need to unpin it--and then repin using the original file found in Chrome’s directory--before the icon swap will show.

If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or an iron deficiency condition like haemochromatosis, talk to your doctor before you do the Vitamin C flush. These conditions can get worse if you do the flush without speaking to your doctor first. They may recommend a specific dosage of Vitamin C based on your condition. They also state that "too much dietary vitamin C is unlikely to be harmful"  In 1986 a report was published of a woman who had kidney stones and also was taking vitamin C.  There were also a number of other factors that could have caused it.  It appears that all references to vitamin C causing kidney stones refer back to this report, in combination to a study that showed that oxalate blood levels reached saturation during vitamin C use, but this does not necessarily translate to greater likelihood of kidney stones, as those patients taking vitamin C did not exhibit symptoms of kidney stones, and it is believed kidney stone precipitate is a function of misappropriated oxalate rather than oversaturation.  More recent studies all indicate that large doses of vitamin C do not cause stones even in extreme doses only possible with intravenous use, even where the blood concentration is up to 100x higher (7mmol/L) than normal (70umol/L).  Vitamin C is essential to kidney function and can play an important role in kidney repair.  According to some sources doses of Vitamin C higher than 2,000mg a day can cause cramps, dizziness, diarrhea, fatigue, headache, heartburn, and gut issues. If you are worried about these symptoms, talk to your doctor before taking Vitamin C. If you are pregnant or breast feeding, use caution when taking Vitamin C. Speak to your doctor to confirm if it is safe for you and your baby before taking it. If you get very ill and vomit or have diarrhea when you start the Vitamin C flush, you may have an allergy or intolerance to Vitamin C powder. Stop the flush and speak to your doctor right away. If you have a general unwell feeling or lightheadedness that does not go away after one hour while...

If you have Morton's Toe, your second toe will likely be longer than your big toe.  A normal foot shape is defined by a big toe that is longer than the rest, with toes 2-5 decreasing in length. You might have Morton's toe even if your second toe isn't longer than your big toe. You should always see a medical professional to diagnose this condition and to discuss treatment options. Morton's Toe can cause debilitating pain and long term complications.  Morton's toe causes surrounding bones to be displaced, putting unnecessary weight on the head of the second foot bone. This extra weight bearing causes stress to the bone. This extra weight causes a callus to form underneath the bone. A callus is a hard swelling of bone. This callus can cause moderate to severe pain in the foot. Some people with Morton's Toe have debilitating pain. This can be a strong, aching constant pain or a sharp pain during walking. This condition can lead to further problems down the road.   Patients with Morton's Toe can have lower back pain, knee pain, and hip pain. This is due to slight changes in the way you walk when you have Morton's Toe. Arthritis is a common problem in people with this condition. This condition can also lead to bunions and hammer toes.

If you have a 2-month time period to gain weight, you'll need to increase your calories by about 250 or 500 calories daily.  Small caloric increases result in healthy and gradual weight gain.  In general, you should aim to gain about a half a pound to one pound per week. Increasing your total daily intake by more than that can cause rapid weight gain, which isn't healthy. Use a food journaling app or online diary to find out how many calories you currently eat.  Add 250-500 calories to that number to figure out what daily caloric intake you should aim for.  For example, if you currently eat 1600 calories daily, shoot for 1850-2100 calories daily to gain weight. Whenever you're trying a new diet plan, it may be helpful to write up a meal plan for your new eating pattern.  Meal plans are somewhat like a blueprint of all your meals and snacks for an entire week.  This can give you the plans to stay on track with the right types and amounts of foods for the week.  Write up a list of all the meals, snacks and beverages you'll be eating over the course of the week. It may also be helpful to write up the corresponding grocery list as well.  This may make grocery shopping easier too. Regardless of whether or not you're trying to lose or gain weight, it's essential to eat balanced meals.  A balanced diet means eating a wide variety of foods from each food group most days and over the course of a week.  Eat the following food groups:  Protein foods.  These include eggs, dairy, red meat, seafood, poultry and legumes.  Include a 3-4 oz serving of protein based foods at each meal and snack.  Fruits and vegetables.  Aim to have 1-2 servings of fruit daily (about 1 small piece or 1/2 cup chopped) and 4-6 servings of vegetables daily (1 cup or 2 cups salad greens).  Grains.  Try to go for whole grains when you can (like quinoa, brown rice or 100% whole wheat bread).  Servings are about 1 oz or 1/2 cup of cooked grains. You can increase the total calories at your meal by about 100-200 calories per meal to result in an extra...

If you have a 3000w amp playing three 1000w subs, but they really sound weak, then it's time to get more power. Alternatively, play the bass as loud as you can and see if your dome lights dim or not. If they barely flicker, then your power is manageable, but if they almost go dark with each bass note, then it's time for more power. Although wet cells can be used, they could spill battery acid in your car if they leak. Dry cell batteries are a better choice if you can afford them. Dry cells have no battery acid and are extremely safe in a vehicle.   Connect the batteries in the car with a large ground wire and ground it in metal. You don’t have to run it into the engine bay; any good metal ground will do. Be sure to put them in a sequence: first battery connected to the main in engine bay and last battery connected to the amp(s). By getting a larger alternator that puts of more amperage, your battery will be continuously and quickly charged. Whenever massive amounts of power is needed, it's directed from the alternator much more than the battery, giving you more power. A good 220-amp alternator can really make a difference in sound quality and bass. You just have to find it for a good price and have it installed.

If you have a PS3 for which you would normally use your controller, turn it off and unplug it to prevent accidentally turning it on while you pair the controller with your Mac. Using a bent paperclip, press the recessed Reset button that's on the bottom of your controller. This will prevent the controller from running into issues left over from previous pairings. This step is optional, but highly recommended. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. It's in the drop-down menu. This will open the System Preferences window. It's the Bluetooth icon in the middle of the System Preferences menu. If you don't see this option, click the ⋮⋮⋮⋮ button to return to the main System Preferences menu. This button is on the left side of the page. Doing so enables your Mac's Bluetooth. If this button reads Turn Bluetooth Off instead, Bluetooth is already enabled. Attach the small end of the charger cable that came with your PS3 controller to the controller's charging port, then plug the other end into your Mac's USB port. If your Mac uses USB-C ports (ovals) instead of USB 3.0 ports (rectangles), you'll need to buy a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter for your Mac before you can do this. You can find them on Amazon and in tech department stores. If the controller hasn't been charged for a while, you may want to let it charge for about 30 minutes before proceeding with setting up the Bluetooth connection. It's in the middle of the controller. Doing so will prompt the lights on the top of the controller to begin flashing. The PS3 controller will appear in the list as "Connected" after a few seconds. If your Mac prompts you for the device's passcode, type 0000 and then click Pair. This usually isn't required on newer Macs. Now that the PS3 controller is connected to your computer via Bluetooth, you can use it in any game that supports gamepads. You may have to manually set the controller buttons for game functions; this varies from game to game.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выключите консоль и отключите ее от источника питания. Перезагрузите контроллер. Откройте меню Apple. Нажмите Системные настройки. Щелкните по Bluetooth. Щелкните по Включить Bluetooth.

If you have a Roku streaming device connected to your TV, you can use it to stream movies and other content from Netflix. When your Roku starts up, it’ll bring you right to the home screen. If you don’t Netflix, here’s how to enable it:  Select Streaming Channels (or the “Channel Store” if you have Roku 1) from the left menu. Select “Movies & TV.” Choose Netflix, and then select “Add Channel.” Roku recommends you sign up for a Netflix account by visiting www.netflix.com in a web browser. Follow the steps in Signing Up on the Web before continuing with this method. Now that you’ve created an account, select “Sign In” (most models of Roku) and enter your new username and password. Once you sign in, you’ll have access to unlimited movies and television. If you’re using a Roku 1, follow these steps:  Opening Netflix will bring you to a screen that says “Are You a Member of Netflix?” Select “Yes” to reveal an access code. Go to your computer and visit www.netflix.com/activate in a web browser. Enter the activation code on this screen. When you return to the Roku, you’ll be able to watch unlimited Netflix.

Перейдите на главный экран Roku. Выберите «Netflix» на главном экране. Создайте учетную запись Netflix. Войдите в Netflix на Roku.


If you have a Toddy Brewer or you simply want to try your hand at making cold-brewed, you need a very coarse grind. Coarsely-ground coffee bits are about the same size as black pepper corns. Use a light hand with your grinder to achieve this grind. If you have a fancy French press, you want the beans to be ground coarsely so they resemble cracked peppercorns or potting soil. The larger pieces of bean will create a cleaner cup of coffee, whereas a finer grind would result in a muddier final pour. If you have a Chemex or cafe solo brewer, grind it coarsely and give it just one extra pulse. Chemex and cafe solo brewers require a medium coarse grind. This is the most popular type of coffee maker, so chances are you'll need to grind your beans to medium at one point or another. Use this grind for both cone or flat-bottomed filters. A medium grind is the texture of sand. If you have a pour over cone, a vacuum pot or a siphon dripper, use a medium-find grind. If you're making special coffee, you'll need a special grind. A fine or extra-fine grind is the texture of flour. This can only be achieved with a burr grinder.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте кофе грубого помола для приготовления холодного кофе. Используйте кофе грубого помола для приготовления французского кофе. Используйте средний уровень размалывания для кофеварок с влагоотделителем. Используйте кофе мелкого помола для приготовления эспрессо и турецкого кофе.

If you have a big home, place it in a central location if possible. Don’t put it close to your modem or any other wireless devices, as this can cause line interference. (For example, a 2.4-ghz router may conflict with a 2.4-ghz phone.) If necessary, buy a longer cable to allow as much distance as possible between your modem and router. Type 192.168.1.1 in your internet address bar to connect to the router and fill in your user name and password. Once you have access, go to the Settings and make sure that the specifications listed here the ones recommended by Comcast. You can find these either in the information packet that you got when you first set up your internet or online.  If you haven’t ever set up a username and password, use the default settings for your router, which can be found in the manual or searched online. The default username is often admin and the default password is often either password or left blank. To be safe, jot down your router’s current settings before modifying them. This will prevent you from making any major mishaps. If the above suggestions fail, the problem may be that your router isn’t fast enough to accommodate the connection speed you’re paying for. Compare the mbps (megabytes per second) on any new candidates to the mbps on your old one to see what your options are. If you do online gaming or a lot of big downloads, you may even want a gigabyte router.  Make sure the router is Comcast approved. Some may not function well with Comcast equipment. Try to get a wireless G or N router with WPA or WPA2 support, which provide better encryption protection than WEP. (If you have an older computer or laptop, make sure it supports this.)
