Take one 15-minute break every 50 to 90 minutes to rest and recharge your mind. Your brain can only focus for a maximum of 90 minutes before it needs a break due to the ultradian rhythm -- a natural cycle of concentration humans experience off and on throughout the day.  Exact results can vary from person to person, with some people doing best if they break every 50 minutes and others being able to go for about 90 minutes before crashing. Experiment with amounts of time within this range to find what works best for you. The length of your break may also vary slightly from person to person, but 15 minutes is usually a good place to start. Avoid breaks that are less than 10 minutes long or longer than 25 minutes, and factor in the amount of time between breaks when determining how much time to take. For instance, a 25-minute break might be appropriate if you spend 90 minutes in between each one, but it would be more appropriate to take a 10-minute break if you only study for 50 minutes straight. You may need to experiment at first to determine how often and how long your breaks should be, but once you set a break schedule for yourself, it’s important that you stick with it. Study only until you find a natural stopping point, then take your break, even if you aren’t completely done with the material yet.  For instance, if you’re reading through a chapter of a textbook, stop once you reach the bottom of the page you’re on or the end of a sub-chapter (for more complex material), instead of waiting until you reach the end of the chapter or unit. Postponing the break may mean working past your brain’s ability to concentrate, or worse, inadvertently skipping it altogether. This prevents you from losing track of time during breaks so you can get back to studying as scheduled. For example, set an alarm on your phone when you step outside, or use a kitchen timer if you take a food break. On a similar note, it may even be beneficial to set an alarm on your phone to remind you when to start your break, as well. Setting...

TL;DR in Russian:

Запланируйте короткие перерывы в своем графике учебы. Четко придерживайтесь своего графика перерывов. Ставьте таймер во время каждого перерыва. Подумайте о том, чтобы менять подход после перерыва.


Take out a piece of paper or open up a spreadsheet on your computer. Write down all of the details regarding your debts. Include information about required payment amounts, due dates, and interest percentages. Update this list often and mark off the debts as you pay them off.  This will also allow you to see which debts need to be paid off first and which ones can come later. For example, it is always a good idea to pay off high interest credit card charges as soon as possible. One entry on your list might look like, “American Express Card, $1,800 balance, 18% percent interest rate, $25 minimum payment per month.” Even without any money at present, it is still a good idea to consider what you will do with cash when you have it. Your goal should be to move away from a lifestyle that involves surviving paycheck to paycheck. This could mean finding a job and moving a certain percentage of pay into a savings account each month. This could also mean spending some time learning about saving on a site such as Learnvest. There are also some handy spending “tricks” that you can learn, such as setting aside the change from your checking transactions using an app, such as Qapital. Make a decision to pursue frugal, but safe, accommodations. If you are moving, select a location that will allow you to live in a thrifty way. Look into the cost of living numbers and consider the benefits of living within a city versus in a rural area, for example. You can also investigate saving money on transportation by forgoing a car. For example, Panama is one location where you can live comfortably for around $300 a month. If do not have a paid position, then look for one by creating a solid resume. It might help for you to list out all of your skills before you begin applying for positions. You could contact a temp agency as well or just browse the job sites on your own. Make sure that you only apply for legitimate work opportunities. You might also consider putting your skills to work by creating a business. Without a financial safety...

Take out a piece of paper or use a calendar tool on your computer to create slots of every hour of your work day, or the hours of the day that you are awake. This could be from nine to five or ten to seven. Though you do not need to fill up each time period down to the minute, it can be helpful to make sure each hour of your day is accounted for in your schedule.  Start to fill each hour of the day with your required tasks for the day. You may start with the most important tasks first and work your way down to the least important tasks. As well, if you consider yourself a morning person, you may decide to put the more complicated tasks earlier in the day, but if you know you usually get a second wind after lunch, you may place complicated tasks later in the day. Try to customize your schedule to fit your needs and work habits, as this will set you up for success when you use the schedule. You may want to create a template for your schedule on a whiteboard or a calendar tool so you can update it every day according to your schedule for that day. It can be difficult to focus on one task or a group of tasks for longer than one to two hours. Make sure you schedule in a ten minute break every hour or every two hours so you do not feel overworked or stressed out. During the mini break, you should get up and walk around the office, or talk to a coworker in the break room. You may go get a coffee or go for a quick walk outside. Try to keep the break to 10 minutes or less so your schedule is not thrown off. You can also take 10 long, slow deep breaths at the top of every hour to clear your mind and pause. This may help you to get some perspective on a task you are doing or going to do and ensure you are checking in with yourself despite your busy work day. Rather than try to rush through your schedule and address every item quickly, take the time to do each task correctly, the first time. Rushing through your emails could lead to prolonged email exchanges, especially if you send cryptic or confusing emails to a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Take out all items that you are storing in your basement. This includes washers and dryers, cabinets, and basically anything else that can move or that takes up floor space. You will need to have total access to all walls and floors while you are working on finishing your basement. . If you have a concrete floor, you’re going to want it to be as clean as possible before you start. Clean up all dirt and debris from the floor. Mold problems and leakage should be double-checked, just to be sure they won’t cause issues later on. . This is one part you should really get a pro to do. At best, bad wiring just won’t work. At worst, it starts fires or electrocutes you (and not in a Wile E Coyote kind of way). Unless you want to try your hand at some DIY firefighting, just get a pro to come in and wire your new basement. If you’ve got some experience, however, you can do the bare necessities wiring yourself. Just make sure you carefully plan everything out. . This is another thing that is good to have a professional do. While it’s less dangerous than bad wiring, it still can lead to costly repairs being necessary later if something leaks. Make sure that you carefully plan ahead so that everything that needs water will be accounted for. . Insulating is important mostly for soundproofing a finished basement. If you’re going to put a media room down there, you don’t want that sound traveling up and disturbing anyone. Use soundproofing materials to insulate the ceiling and everyone will be happy. Otherwise, building a simple drop ceiling should be enough. . It will be very important to insulate the basement walls. This will keep your basement warm and cosy, making the space much more livable. There are many types of insulation available but spray-foam insulation is becoming popular for basements.

TL;DR in Russian:

Уберите все из подвала. Хорошо очистите пол. Сделайте электропроводку в вашем подвале. Проведите все необходимые трубы. Установите изоляцию и смонтируйте потолок. Изолируйте стены.


Take pictures of the process and of the final result. If you install the yarn bomb while it is still light outside, you should snap a photo as soon as the installation is complete.  After you install the piece, you should take pictures as soon as possible before any damage comes to it. If you want to remain anonymous, do not declare that you are the one responsible for the yarn bomb on any public forum, including social media accounts with strict privacy settings. If you absolutely must take credit for the work, wait until after you've taken it down before announcing your role. Return to your yarn bomb a few hours or days later to check on it. Viewing your yarn bomb anonymously can also help you learn about the honest reactions of people on the street who are viewing the artwork for the first time. While anonymous feedback is great, you should also ask for feedback on your yarn bomb from people who know that you were the one to create it.  It's best to start with people who already knew about the intended yarn bomb or those who you believe can keep the yarn bomb a secret. After you've removed the yarn bomb or have otherwise indulged in a satisfactory amount of anonymity, you can begin asking strangers and acquaintances for their opinions. Get opinions from the artistically inclined as well as the everyday passerby. As noted earlier, a yarn bomb is not meant to be a permanent structure. It is best to remove your yarn bomb before it starts to deteriorate too dramatically. Know that someone else may remove your yarn bomb before you have the opportunity to do so. People who find the yarn bomb an annoyance may cut it down prematurely. The city may also choose to remove it if they get complaints or if they believe the yarn has gotten too dirty. One major purpose of yarn bombing is to brighten the drab qualities of ordinary, everyday life. If you aren't brightening your own life by creating the piece, a large aspect of the process is missing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Take pride in the strengths that come with being an introvert and leverage them in order to find a career path that suits you.  Scientists, writers (technical and content writing), programmers, researchers, auditors, accountants, translator, lab technician etc. These are some of the jobs that match the personality of an introvert. They offer autonomy, require people who have a keen eye for detail, and don't necessitate too much interaction with colleagues. Introverts tend to bury themselves into whatever it is they're working on and dig deep for facts, details and information. You can put your heart and soul into everything you undertake - be it a simple school level assignment or a crucial project.  Even the minutest details matter to you, so you are able to see things that other people would overlook. This gives you ownership over those points, aspects and ideas which others have no access to. You are able to think outside of the box to deliver unique and customized solutions, products and services. This trait is crucial in professions such as auditor, accountant, researchers, scientists. You are not in the habit of thinking aloud or saying/doing something just for the sake of it. When you say something you mean it, so it's no wonder that people take you seriously.  You are a taskmaster. You are capable of commanding respect. So you come across as firm, decisive, unwavering, as one who weighs all pros and cons, not impulsive. You just don’t say something-you come thoroughly prepared and what you say is completely backed by facts. As a result, people take you and what you say seriously. Therefore you are the ideal mediator or arbitrator. You are the Mr. or Mrs. Reliable of your organization/department You prefer to use your ears more than your mouth. Your preferred method of communicating is to spend more time listening to your inner thoughts and to others rather than talking or participating in discussions with others.  Good listening skills are one of the prerequisites for maintaining harmony, good...

Take semi-frozen steak and cut it thinly. Fry up onions and peppers and remove when ready, about 5 minutes. Start to cook the steak, chopping thoroughly with a sharp spatula when almost cooked. Mix your onions and peppers with your chopped steak. You have two options here about how to heat up your roll and/or cheez wiz:  Option 1: Toast your hoagie roll and then smother the hot bread with cheez wiz. This will give the bread a nice crispiness, but the cheez wiz won't stay hot as long. Option 2: Warm your cheez wiz in the microwave. Pick up melted cheese with a spatula and deposit on the roll.

Take showers regularly. As mentioned above, taking a shower can help to get rid of body odor quickly. Making sure to shower each day and lathering up your problem areas can help to keep you feeling cleaning and fresh while you do your daily activities. When you shower: Make sure to use an exfoliant a couple of times a week. This can help to wash away grime, dead skin, and bacteria, all of which can play a part in creating body odor. You can purchase exfoliants at your local pharmacy, or you can  make your own natural exfoliants. Bacteria like an environment with lots of moisture, food to eat, warmth, and the proper levels of pH and sodium concentration, all of which can be found in folds of moist skin. Because of this, it is important to dry off your skin whenever it becomes moist, whether the moisture is from taking a shower or sweating.  Use a towel or oil blotting papers to wipe off sweat and other moisture. After a shower, consider applying powder to areas like your armpit in order to combat moisture. If you have exercised or performed another activity where you sweat profusely, change your clothes afterward to keep yourself fresh and dry. . This can apply to both men and women, though women more commonly shave their armpits. Getting rid of the hair in your armpits can help to reduce the amount of body odor you have because hair absorbs odors easily; if you have less hair, there will be less chance that the body odor is absorbed. There are certain synthetic materials that don't breathe very well unless they've been specifically designed for that purpose (like polyester blends). If you're really worried about body odor wear fabrics like cotton, wool, or silk as they soak up moisture and have better breathe-ability, which means you will most likely sweat less and create less body odor. You can also wear a cotton or silk undershirt under your clothing to soak up your sweat and body moisture so that your body odor does not soak into your outer layers of clothing. . As mentioned above, body odor can seep into...

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно принимайте душ. Держите тело в сухости. Регулярно брейте подмышки. Носите одежду из дышащих тканей. Регулярно стирайте одежду.


Take showers regularly. Keeping your body clean is a necessary part of being attractive. Walking around with dirt on your arms and greasy hair may project an image other than the hotness you are going for. In general, try to take a shower once a day, and wash yourself with a body soap that is specifically tailored for your skin type. If you have dry or sensitive skin, use warm water rather than hot water, as hot water can irritate your skin and cause it to become even more dry. Wash your hair every other day. While it is important to wash your body regularly, you should try to limit yourself to washing your hair every other day at the most. While it is important to wash your hair frequently to prevent your hair and skin from becoming greasy, unless you have extremely oily hair, it is probably unnecessary to wash your hair every day. When you wash your hair everyday, your hair can become dried out and will feel brittle to the touch.  Use a shampoo and conditioner that are suited to your type of hair. In general, try to use a grape-sized dollop of conditioner when you wash your hair. Some people find that rinsing their hair with cool water can help to make their hair shinier and softer. Pluck or wax your eyebrows. Keep your eyebrows looking tidy by removing any stray hairs. Having perfectly shaped brows can do wonders for your face by framing your eyes, therefore making them the center of attention, even without makeup. Well manicured eyebrows can be very striking and add definition to your features. Pluck from the bottom of the brow, close to its root, rather than trying to pull it out from the top of the hair. If you're nervous about plucking and aren't sure which eyebrow shape would best suit your face, go to a beautician to have them plucked or waxed for the first time. Ask your beautician about maintaining your eyebrow shape at home and invest in a good pair of tweezers. . While taking showers regularly will definitely help you to smell good, it is still important to try to vanquish body odors such as...

Take small pieces so that you can give it one for each thing it does without worrying about your dog getting fat. Some dogs, especially Labradors and Beagles, are extremely food orientated, and so you can set aside a portion of their daily kibble into a treat pouch, and use this to reward them. Don’t have toys out unless they are for training. You want the dog to listen to you, rather than watching other dogs having fun in the park. During the early stages of training, when you aren't sure of your dog's response, keep your dog on a leash. This saves unnecessary shouting to get its attention if it starts to wander off. Instead, just gently reel your dog in. Once your dog has learned basic commands like sit, stay, and heel, then you can continue lessons with distractions - indeed this is beneficial because it helps him understand you expect to react under all circumstances, rather than just in the yard. A typical training program involves two daily sessions of 10 - 20 minutes each. Also reinforce commands by asking the dog to "sit" before meals, or "stay" when you go to get his or her lead. Different dogs have different attention spans, (just as human personalities differ so do dogs). However, some breeds are more trainable, meaning they have strong powers of concentration. These include German shepherd dogs, Border collies, Labradors, and dogs that were originally bred as hunting dogs. Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks, but it takes longer. Don't expect him to pick things up as quickly as a young puppy within their socialization period. However, do not be discouraged if progress is slow. Stay focused and be patient with your dog and yourself as you train it!

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите лакомства, которые нравятся вашей собаке. Выберите место, где вам ничто не помешает. В начале старайтесь сделать тренировку короткой. Не требуйте от собаки быстрого прогресса.


Take some deep breaths, concentrating on having the air go in your nose and out of your mouth. Do a few yoga stretches before going out or spending time with someone. Repeat, “Relax,” to yourself until you can feel the stress slipping away. If you are stressed, you will likely hold your tension in your body and make sex less pleasurable. Sometimes it also helps to give voice to your fears. You might tell your partner, “I’m nervous about this, so I may need to relax more.” Try to have sex in an environment where you can concentrate all of your focus and energy on your partner. Minimize outside noises and distractions. Turn off your cell phone. Make sure that you will not be interrupted. Fostering a calm environment will help you to fully relax and be yourself. You’ll want to think about what type of environment is relaxing to you. Some people prefer candles and soft lighting, whereas others like music on in the background. You may think that having a sex conversation with your partner is unromantic, but not talking can be much more detrimental. If you talk before you have sex about what you like, you’ll be far more likely to express your likes/dislikes in bed as well. It also important to know each other’s sexual boundaries.  For example, you might say, “I’d really like to start off slow.” Or, “I will relax more if we turn off the lights.” If you have some sort of health problem, such as endometriosis, it is a good idea to make your partner aware of this as well. Be open and don’t be afraid of rejection. Your partner may be able to brainstorm ways to make sex better for you. You will have better, less painful sex if you eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep. Sex can be similar to a workout in that it might push your body to its limits. If you are not healthy, then your body may respond to sex painfully. Try to eat a balanced diet. Work out at least three times a week. Get at least eight hours of undisturbed sleep a night. Getting healthy and losing weight has also be associated with a decrease in the...

Take some of the wax you just melted, and place a drop into the bottom of your container. Alternatively, you can use a drop of hot glue or super glue instead.  Be prepared to work quickly, as the hot wax or hot glue will set up fast. If you don't have spare candles or a hot glue gun on hand, place a piece of double-sided tape against the bottom of your tabbed wick. You can buy tabbed candle wicks in the candle aisle of a craft store and online. They look like long candle wicks with small, metal disks on the bottom. Tuck the wick into the container, then use your finger or a stick to press the tab against the hot wax or hot glue. Don't worry if the wick is too long for the container. You will cut it at the very end. If you cut it now, it won't stick up straight in the wax. Hot glue will need about 2 to 3 minutes to harden. If you used super glue or double-sided tape, then you don't need to wait at all. If you don’t wait for the wax or hot glue to set, the wick may move as you are pouring the wax.

Take some proactive steps to ensure that you both feel the same way. If the ex agrees to trying to be friends, be chill for awhile. If you start texting or calling right away, your ex might get confused and think that you want to get back together.  Always ask exes if they can handle being your friend or not. Respect their wishes if they say no. If the answer is yes, don't be tempted to send cute text messages or post links or memes on their Facebook wall. We all need time to heal, so don’t be pushy by reminding them about you so soon. Try not to show up at your ex's favorite places when you know there's a good chance they will be there. It will seem like you are forcing an interaction. Talking about how this whole “being friends” thing is going to work is important. You need to convey your needs and expectations, and your ex certainly needs to weigh in. Don’t jump into trying to be friends until everything is out in the open.   Discuss how you expect a friend to behave. Ask your ex to define friendship, too. You have to make sure that you have the same goals in mind before continuing. Your ex might not be that comfortable with seeing you frequently since you are the one who initiated the break up, so give them a lot of leeway in establishing parameters. Allow your ex to make the plans the first couple of times that you meet. They may feel more comfortable when feeling in control. You’re either friends or you’re not. Don’t take advantage of them because you used to date. Be sincere in all intentions, return calls and texts in a timely fashion, and don’t be flaky. If you act otherwise, you won’t maintain the friendship.   Avoid blowing off your ex. If you are asked to hang out and you can’t, just reply back. Don’t ignore them, as that’s simply rude. Assuming that this person might want to be a “friend with benefits” is a bad idea. You might end up embarrassing yourself. Don’t think that your ex will enjoy accompanying you on work or family functions because you don’t have a date. No one likes to feel like an...

TL;DR in Russian:

Для начала дайте бывшему партнеру немного времени побыть одному. Установите несколько основных правил. Относитесь к этому человеку как к настоящему другу.


Take some time alone to think through this decision. Ideally, you should answer "yes" to all these questions before you have sex:  Do you and your partner understand how pregnancy and STDs work? Can you talk openly about the risk, and agree on a method or methods of protection? Do you and your partner trust and respect each other? Would your partner listen if you changed you mind and said "stop"? Are your personal values compatible with the sexual experience you're considering? Would your family and community be okay with this if they knew? If you answer "no," are you comfortable accepting that fact? Sex can be a great way for two people in a healthy relationship to have fun and express their connection. This isn't always the reason sex happens, however. Be honest about why you want to have sex, and understand which reasons are no good:  Only have sex when you and your partner genuinely want to. If one of you is pressuring the other, put this to a stop and wait until both of you are ready. Don't have sex because you think everyone else is doing it. Most high school students have not had sex, and the ones that do don't have sex very often. Don't have sex to save a failing romantic relationship. It won't work. Once you're confident you're ready for sex, talk to your partner. You need to talk about previous sexual experiences, possible STDs, what to do in the event of an unplanned pregnancy, and your views on abortion and adoption. Tell each other why you want to have sex. If you cannot talk to your partner about these topics, you may want to postpone sex until the two of you are able to have the conversation. Make sure you're on the same page about what sex means to your relationship. Is it just for fun? Do you love each other? Is this an exclusive relationship? If it's the first time for one or both of you, or even just your first time with each other, you're going to need privacy and time to yourselves. Arrange your agreed-upon method(s) of protection in advance, so you don't miss an opportunity. Finding...

Take some time every day to have a conversation with your girlfriend. Whether you have a phone or face-to-face conversation, try to find a daily time to dedicate your full attention to each other.  Avoid checking your phone, surfing the web, or watching television when having a conversation with your girlfriend. Keep in mind distractions aren’t only technological. For example, if either of you need time to zone out after school or work, give each other some space before starting an extended conversation. Avoid questions that call for simple yes or no answers. Ask her about her day, and try to show your sincere interest in learning about her life’s little details.  Ask her things like, “What did you do at work (or school) today? How did your presentation go? What’s the most unique thing that happened to you today?” Learning small, even trivial details about someone lays the foundation of an intimate connection. Try to let your curiosity carry the conversation instead of just asking questions about things that you already know. Further, asking detailed questions doesn’t have to come off as nosy or intrusive. Don’t ask her questions in a way that seems rehearsed or paranoid. Make your intentions clear if she seems annoyed or asks, “Why do you want to know?” Say, “I’m not checking up on you or trying to nag, I just want to learn more about you.” Make eye contact and nod to show you’re listening with interest. When she talks about something or asks you a question, don’t respond with something like “Uh-huh,” or “Yeah whatever.” Listen to what she says, ask a follow-up question, tell her you support a decision she made, or share something about yourself that conveys you relate to her point. Expressing your interest and support, or “turning toward” your girlfriend, is crucial to maintaining a good relationship. Keep the conversation balanced by talking about yourself, too. Try not to deliberately change the subject when you talk about yourself, but show her that you can identity with her experiences. Bringing up a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Take some time immediately after being hurt in order to cool off. Usually, a couple of hours to a day is a good period of time. When you're really hurt, in the moment, you tend not to think and you can easily end up saying things you don't mean or saying things in a way that's not constructive to anyone. You want your words to be thought out and have an impact, so give yourself a little while to think. Try to understand the person that hurt you. People, unless they're actual sociopaths, always have feelings and a good reason for doing what they do. People are also rarely maliciously mean. Most of the time, they're just doing their best and trying to do what they think is the right thing to do. And a lot of the time, just like the rest of us, they make mistakes.  Try to think about why they might have thought what they were doing was right. This will help you sympathize with them and feel better about what happened. Just because someone did something with good intentions or simply didn't think about the hurt they'd cause, doesn't excuse them or make them right. If they did something bad, you should still let them know (kindly) so that they can make the right choice in the future. Now, imagine you were them, trying to make the same choice. Really try to set aside your bias. You'd probably have made the same choice, right? Or, at least, you probably made a similar choice for similar reasons in the past (maybe when you were young and didn't know better). Thinking about this will also help you understand them and what happened, which will make you feel better. Remember that people usually have more stresses of sadness and stress in their life than they let on. They might have not been in the best mental condition when they did what they did, which might explain really strange or cruel choices. We can't be at our best 100% of the time, so try to have sympathy for them. A good place to start when forgiving someone is to accept their apology. Give them the benefit of the doubt and take them at their word that they...

TL;DR in Russian:

Остыньте. Поймите обидевшего вас человека. Поставьте себя на место обидевшего вас. Примите извинения. Дайте выход ненависти. Не замышляйте месть. Пусть ваша боль будет значить что-то. Подумайте себе ситуацию, когда все наоборот - обидели вы, а ваш обидчик пострадал от ваших действий. Напишите письмо, в котором расскажите обо всем, что накипело.


Take some time to find unique angles and details before settling on the precise focus of your photograph. When taking pictures of tall buildings, you may find yourself tilting your camera upwards in order to fit the entire building in the frame. This can create a distorted image in which the building looks like it is falling away. You can correct this by taking the picture from further away, using a different camera lens like a wide angle lens, or fixing the distortion with digital editing software. Alternatively, focus your picture on a different element of the building; a dramatic and creative photograph of a building does not always mean that you need the entire building in the picture. Take a look at what surrounds the building: this may be the sky, other buildings, trees, or water. There may also be parked cars, garbage cans, trash, birds or pedestrians surrounding your building.  Determine if these elements add to or detract from the overall sense you want to convey. Be patient and wait until pedestrians pass by to snap the photo if you don’t want them in your photo. Use surrounding elements to create frames that draw attention to the main subject of your photo: the building itself. Framing can add depth and add context to your photograph. Some of the elements you can use to create a frame include windows, doorways, fences, the center of a staircase, tree branches, or people. The depth of field is the area in your picture that will be in focus. A shallow depth of field means that objects in the foreground will be in focus and the background will be blurry. A deep depth of field will have both foreground and background in focus. Depth of field is controlled by your camera’s aperture. Set your camera to AV (aperture priority) mode. AV mode will allow you to control the aperture (how much light is let into the lens) while the camera automatically adjusts other controls. Having a larger depth of field – or having a longer range of what is in focus in your photograph – can improve a photograph of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите здание снаружи и внутри. Решите, с какого угла вы будете снимать. Подумайте, что еще будет в кадре. Выберите композицию. Определитесь с глубиной резкости. Уделите внимание деталям. Обратите внимание на симметричные фрагменты. Используйте воду как отражающую поверхность.


Take some time to really think about the reasons why you feel how you do. You may want to write down these reasons for you to reflect upon later. This will help you form answers to your boyfriend’s questions about your decision. Some common reasons for wanting space in a relationship are needing some alone time to decompress after a busy week, wanting to focus on a project, or taking care of private family matters. Your boyfriend will most likely want to know what taking some space apart means for your relationship. If you determine that you want to break up with your boyfriend, it is best to do so now. Togetherness and separateness are balanced in healthy relationships. In healthy relationships, you also feel like your own person and have friendships outside of the relationship. A good time would be when you are both relaxed, calm, and able to focus on listening to one another. A public place that is quiet where you can still talk may help you avoid a scene, like a park or coffee shop, would be a good location.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите, для чего именно вам нужно свободное пространство в ваших отношениях. Определитесь с тем, что вы в конечном итоге хотели бы сделать со своими отношениями. Спланируйте время и место встречи для этого разговора.


Take some time to really think through the things you are good at. Consider things like physical skills, practical tasks, and creative work. Perhaps you are a great artist, a whiz with numbers, an excellent salesperson, or an all-star soccer player. Alternatively, you might have a thorough knowledge of historical events, manage your time efficiently, have strong spacial reasoning skills, be a great public speaker, or have a natural knack for technology. List every skill and strength you can think of. If you’re struggling to determine your skills or strengths, ask your friends, family, and colleagues for their input. Now, think of what you enjoy doing, which may not be the same things that you are good at, and add them to the list. For instance, you might enjoy spending time in nature, attending parties, studying other cultures, putting together model planes, hosting fundraisers, or traveling around the world. Or, you might like to read, listen to music, swim, conduct science experiments, play with animals, cook or bake, ride a motorcycle, volunteer, make craft projects, clean, go fishing, or create sculptures. In order to land a job you enjoy doing, choose something that you enjoy and are also good at. Look ahead to the future and think about what you’d like your life’s work to be. It’s okay if you don’t know right away; spend some time thinking it over. Perhaps you want to build an empire, make a difference in children’s lives, create a new piece of technology, develop sustainable living practices, or bring joy to the elderly. Determining what you want to be known for will help you determine what career path to take. Think about how the job will affect you as you age. For instance, if the job requires intense physical labor, it may be difficult to sustain when you get older. It’s common to feel pressure from your family members, friends, teachers, and society to follow a certain path. And while doing so might make them happy, it probably won’t make you happy. Let go of other people’s expectations of you and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте список навыков, которыми вы обладаете, перечислите все свои сильные стороны. Подумайте о своих интересах и увлечениях. Решите для себя, чем бы вы хотели запомниться людям, прежде чем уйдете на пенсию. Сосредоточьтесь на собственных стремлениях, а не ожиданиях общества. Пройдите тест на профессиональную ориентацию.


Take some time to run through your speech a few times. Check it for timing and trim if necessary. Ask for feedback from a friend.  This will ensure that you’re comfortable with the speech and you’ll be able to relax a bit. Memorize the first sentence of your speech. This will help you overcome anxiety of starting out the speech strongly. Bring a hard copy of your speech with you as well. If you are using any visual aids such as PowerPoint, test your technology to make sure everything is hooked up correctly and is working. Many people get a dry mouth when they are speaking, so be sure to bring some water with you. Take a small sip just before you start speaking. If you are giving a brief speech, you likely won’t need to drink any water in the middle of your speech. If your speech is longer, then you might want to find a good moment to pause and take a small sip. Don’t gulp the water down; you will risk spilling it on your shirt or making yourself cough. Start your speech with a strong voice. Make sure your body language projects confidence. Stand tall with your shoulders back and your head high. Take some deep breaths before the speech starts in order to calm your body and mind. Don’t start your speech with a comment such as, “I’m sorry if this speech seems disorganized,” or “I apologize for my nervousness.” The audience will only know it if you tell them.  If you act prepared and organized, your audience will assume that you are. Look out into the audience while you’re speaking. If you feel shy or embarrassed about looking at people, choose a spot just above the audience’s heads or a point on the back wall. It is more difficult for the audience to pay attention when you are only reading directly from your paper. Instead, look up frequently to assess the audience’s engagement with your material.

TL;DR in Russian:

Репетируйте речь заранее. Попробуйте заранее. Пусть рядом стоит стакан с водой. Начните с убедительного тона и жестов. Не начинайте с извинений. Поддерживайте зрительный контакт с публикой. Не нужно просто читать все с бумажки.


Take some time to think about why the person annoys you. Is it the sound of their voice? The things they say? Their attitude? Or something else. Becoming more aware of why the person annoys you may help you to manage your interactions with them a bit better.  For example, you might prepare yourself for an interaction with someone who annoys you because of their negative attitude by telling yourself something like, “Tom and I see things differently, and that’s okay. He has a pessimistic point of view, but it is likely because of things that have happened to him. Just because he sees things this way does not mean I have to see them that way.” You may also want to consider ways that you can limit your interactions with the person. For example, if you work together then you will likely need to see them every day. However, if the person is a family friend, then you can reduce your exposure to them by showing up a little late to gatherings where you know they will be present, or leaving a bit early. When you see the person who annoys you, you might begin to feel angry, agitated or even nervous.  Employ various tactics and strategies to keep yourself calm during this time so that you don’t react negatively or get yourself worked up.  One thing you can do is to breathe deeply and slowly.  Another thing you can do is to think of a memory or mental scenario that calms you.  For instance, imagine that you are on a beach or on a relaxing walk through nature. Try to visualize the sights, sounds, smells, and other sensations of being in your relaxing place. For example, you could imagine the feeling of sand between your toes or the smell of flowers in a nearby field. Practice this frequently and you will be able to calm yourself more quickly. Breathe in slowly through your nose and exhale through your mouth until you feel calm. Sometimes, your anxiety and agitation can be similarly soothed if you repeat certain mantras in your head to calm yourself.  Repeat something like “peace” over and over until you feel that the word...

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь выяснить, что конкретно раздражает вас в этом человеке. Сохраняйте спокойствие. Выберите специальное кодовое слово, благодаря которому вы будете успокаиваться. Научитесь управлять невербальными средствами общения. Потренируйтесь вести беседу, наблюдая за собой в зеркало. Будьте прямолинейны и сдержанны. Создайте личные границы. Не вступайте в спор. Научитесь терпению и молчанию. Подавайте пример.


Take some time to think about your answers to these questions. Spend a few hours journaling or go for a long walk. Once you have processed the information, make an effort to talk to your best friends. Let them know how much you appreciate them! Write them a card, take them out to dinner, or make them a pan of your famous brownies! Now that you have figured out who your best friends are, focus on further developing your relationships with them. Continue to spend time with them, make an effort to be present at all of their major milestones and minor events. Keep the lines of communication open and never take your best friends for granted!

TL;DR in Russian:

Проанализируйте свои ответы. Поговорите со своими лучшими друзьями. Продолжайте работать над дружбой.


Take stock of the conditions holding you up and estimate how much longer it will be until you can make it in. Depending on what you do, a few minutes may not be the end of the world. If you think you’ll be delayed for a while, however, you should always make it a point to let someone know.  Consider how long it will take you to resolve your current situation in order to give a more accurate estimate. If you’re stuck in traffic, for example, use a navigation app that provides live traffic updates to find out how fast things are moving up ahead. Giving your employer an idea of when they can expect you to arrive will put them at ease and allow them to make any necessary adjustments to the schedule. Unless you’re confident you can make it in on time despite the setback, it’s usually best to pick up the phone and let someone know you’re running behind. Inform them of what’s going on and how much longer it will be before you can get there. If you have no way of knowing how late you’ll ultimately be, err on the side of caution and call anyway. Once you’ve got someone on the phone, request to be put on the line with your manager, shift leader, or one of your boss’s direct subordinates. This will help ensure that the message gets relayed to the right person.  If you have important information to share, leave it with your boss’s receptionist or administrative assistant. These people usually take notes, so there will be a record of your call. Avoid sharing your status with a coworker. If they get busy or distracted, they may forget to pass the word along.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените, как сильно вы опаздываете. Позвоните на работу, если вы опаздываете более, чем на пять минут. Постарайтесь поговорить с начальством.


Take symptoms of an infection with the influenza virus seriously. It is a potentially dangerous illness that often develops suddenly. Contact your child's doctor if you think your child may have the flu, especially if your child is under age 2 or has medical problems such as asthma. Symptoms of the flu include:  High fever and/or chills Cough Sore throat Runny nose Body or muscle aches Headache Tiredness and/or weakness Diarrhea and/or vomiting Check to see if your child has chills, a flushed appearance, is sweating, or feels very warm to the touch if you do not have a thermometer. Ask your child how much pain he or she is in and where the pain is located. You may also want to apply gentle pressure to the spot your child is complaining about to get an idea of how severe it is. Pay careful attention to signs that indicate your child needs to be seen by a medical professional immediately. These include:  Fever in a child under three months old Severe headache or a stiff neck Changes in breathing patterns, especially any trouble breathing Changes in skin color, such as looking very pale, reddish, or bluish Child refuses to drink fluids or stops urinating No tears when crying Severe or persistent vomiting Child is difficult to wake up or is unresponsive Child is unusually quiet and inactive Signs of extreme irritability or pain Pain or pressure in the chest or stomach Sudden or prolonged dizziness Confusion Flu-like symptoms improve but then get worse Talk to your local pharmacist if you are not sure whether your child needs to be seen by a doctor. She or he can help determine if your child’s symptoms require medical attention and can offer advice on medications if they are needed. You can also call your doctor's office, as there is almost always someone available to help you decide what to do and to provide home care advice.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите, болен ли ребенок гриппом. Регулярно измеряйте температуру у ребенка. Спросите ребенка, болит ли что-то. Обратите внимание на признаки серьезных заболеваний. Попросите совета.


Take the 14 to 16 lb (6.4 to 7.3 kg) frozen young turkey from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator to thaw completely. This should take 2 to 3 days. Your refrigerator should be 38 °F (3 °C) or cooler. Place a large stockpot on the stove and pour 1 gallon (3.8 l) of vegetable stock into it. Stir in 1 cup (288 g) of kosher salt, 1/2 cup (100 g) of light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon (9 g) of black peppercorns, 1 1/2 teaspoons (1.5 g) of allspice berries, and 1 1/2 teaspoons (6 g) of chopped candied ginger. Turn the burner to medium-high and stir the brine every once in a while as it heats. The brine should begin to boil as the sugar dissolves. Turn off the burner and let the brine cool until it's at room temperature. Put the lid on the stockpot and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill while the turkey thaws.  If your stockpot won't fit in the refrigerator, pour the brine into a storage container with a lid. Put the container in the fridge. You can make the brine a few days before you plan to roast the turkey.

TL;DR in Russian:

Take the 4 outer roof pieces, and glue them together to form a picture-frame-like box. Using the 4 inner roof pieces, glue them together to form a box that will fit inside the outer roof frame. If there are small gaps, don’t worry––those can be taken care of with filler before painting. Center the frame structure on top of the roof, and mark the location. Apply glue to the bottom of the frame, and attach. Add the 4 support blocks on the inside corners of the frame, as shown. Apply glue to the support blocks, and set the roof top in place. It should be flush with the top of the frames. Replace the frames with solid pieces. Instead of an outer frame and an inner frame plus support blocks, center and attach one .7u square x .1u high piece, then top it with a .6u square x .1u high piece. Center and glue this block to the top of the roof assembly. Make sure the entire roof assembly is squared, and let dry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Take the Moby wrap and gather the material together. Wrap the material around your body from front to back, so the tag is at the center of your waist, just above your belly button. If you want a cleaner look, fold the Moby wrap in half lengthwise before you begin wrapping. Make sure to keep the seams together. Cross the two ends of the material behind your back to make an x. Bring the ends over your shoulders (like straps), keeping the material as flat as possible for optimal comfort. Tuck the two ends of the wrap underneath the piece of fabric around your waist (directly behind the tag), from top to bottom. Arrange the material so it fits snugly around your body. Cross the ends of the wrap a second time, making an x shape in front of your stomach. Bring the ends around to your back then continue to wrap them all the way around the body, before tying the two ends together in front of your stomach. Once the Moby wrap is secured around your body, you can place your baby into it. The most popular position is the cradle hold:  Start by holding the baby upright on the shoulder opposite the first panel of fabric (the shoulder panel closest to the body). Then carefully place the baby into the first panel of fabric, in a seated position. Spread the fabric wide to cover the baby's bottom, back and shoulders. Continue to support the baby with your arm as you do this. Place the baby's legs into the second panel of fabric (the shoulder panel on the opposite side). Then find the third panel (the one that goes around your waist) and pull it up to cover the baby.

TL;DR in Russian:

Take the bed sheet off the mattress first, then rinse the stain out using cold water. Do not use hot water, as this will set the stain. Follow this step with any of the stain-removal treatments listed below. Pour hydrogen peroxide directly onto the blood stain. Wait 20 to 25 minutes, then lightly pat the residue with a paper towel. If you don't have any hydrogen peroxide at home, you can use club soda instead.  White vinegar will also work in a pinch.  Light can turn hydrogen peroxide into water. If it is very bright in your room, cover the treated area with plastic wrap, then drape a dark towel over it. The towel will hide the area from light, and the plastic wrap will prevent the towel from soaking up the hydrogen peroxide. Simply spray the window cleaner onto the stain. Wait 15 minutes, then rinse it out from behind using cold water. Fill a spray bottle with 1 tablespoon of ammonia and 1 cup (240 milliliters) of cold water. Close the bottle and shake it to mix. Spray the mixture onto the stain and wait 30 to 60 minutes. Blot up any residue with a clean cloth, then wash the sheets in cold water. Be careful with colored sheets. Ammonia may fade or bleach colored fabrics. Mix  one part baking soda with two parts water to form a paste. Dampen the stain with water, then rub the paste onto the stain. Let the fabric dry, ideally in the sun. Brush off any residue, and then wash in cold water. Talcum powder or cornstarch/cornflour will also work. Mix 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of dish soap. Dampen the stain with cold water first, then soak it with the soap mixture. Wait 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse  the stain out using cold water. You can also use shampoo instead of dish soap. Fill a spray bottle with 1 part baking soda, 1 part hydrogen peroxide, and ½ part cold water. Close the bottle, and shake it to mix. Spray the mixture onto the stain, wait 5 minutes, then rinse it off. Repeat 2 more times, then wash the sheets in cold water. This works best on polyester-cotton blends. Use cold water, a mild...

Take the beef out of the bag or container. Shake it lightly to remove extra marinade. Don’t leave garlic gloves on the surface, or they may burn on the surface. Let it sit out until it comes to room temperature. This should take at least 20 minutes or up to one hour. The cooking time will vary depending upon the size of the beef.

TL;DR in Russian:

Take the bra out of the mesh bag, and press on the inside of the cup until it pops back out to its original shape. This is typically more needed for padded or shaping bras.  If the bra is soaking and dripping wet, do not wring or twist them; instead, put the bra between two towels, and press down on the towels to remove any excess moisture Avoid using a dryer, as the heat will cause the bra straps to stretch and lose their elasticity. You can air dry the bra by draping it across a drying rack or clothesline. You can also clip the band of the bra to a hanger, and hang it up to dry. Do not hang the bra by the straps; this will cause the bra straps to stretch too much. If you do not have any spare hangers, clotheslines, or drying racks, you can lay the bra out flat on a clean, dry towel.  If you must use a dryer, ideally use the "no heat" setting. Be sure to keep the bra in its mesh bag to prevent any tangling.  Putting a bra in a hot or warm dryer will not likely do immediate harm. If this does happen, there is usually no reason to panic. This is not ideal treatment, but rarely causes a bra to become unusable.

TL;DR in Russian:

Восстановите формы чашек бюстгальтера, как только стирка будет окончена. Сушка бюстгальтера.


Take the coat by the shoulders and, as you would when changing a bedspread, swing the coat out in front of you. You may want to do this outside, or an area of the house that can be easily swept.  Once you begin flinging the coat, debris will fly in all directions. Furs should always be hung on broad, padded hangers to prevent the shoulders from losing their form.  Because of the nature of the fur, it can easily be stretched and deformed. Never fold your fur coat. Using a proper fur brush, begin at the top of the coat and begin working your way to the bottom.  Be sure to brush the direction of the hair, and to use small and even strokes as you work a small section at a time.  Fur brushes have wider spaced teeth and soft edges, which prevent the brush from damaging the skin of the fur.  If you do not have a proper fur brush, you can run your fingers through the fur to help clear-out any dirt or debris. Never brush your fur with a "normal" brush. This will damage the coat as the teeth on a normal brush are too fine.  Avoid making long strokes along the length of the coat.  This can cause the coat to stretch. Mix 1 part isopropyl alcohol with 1 part water and apply it directly to the stain.  Because fur coats are delicate, you should always avoid using any type of cleaner or solvent, and use as little water as possible. Do not rinse the solution out, instead, place the coat in a well-ventilated area and allow it to dry thoroughly.  The alcohol will prevent any water stains from forming on the coat.  Never use heat on a fur coat.  Heat will damage the coat and lining.  Be gentle as you rub and be careful not to stretch the skin. Be sure to use a white cloth or rag or else you may transfer color to the fur. Again, work in the direction of the fur and work small sections at a time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Как только мех полностью высохнет, вычистите всю шубу щеткой для меха.


Take the coconut milk out of the fridge and open it without shaking it up. Use a spoon to scoop the thick, fatty layer from the top of the can, and transfer it into a  mixing bowl. Discard the coconut water or save it for another recipe.  You must use full-fat coconut milk. You must chill the coconut milk overnight in the fridge. Add the remaining ingredients into the bowl with the coconut cream in it. Use a whisk to mix everything together for about 2 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves. Pour the mixture into a shallow container that's safe to go into the freezer. Great examples include metal loaf pans and Tupperware containers. The ice cream will be frozen in this container, so make sure that it is convenient to use and store. Place the entire container into the freezer. Every 30 minutes, give the mixture a stir with a whisk. After about 3 to 4 hours of doing this, the ice cream should be ready.  You can try freezing the ice cream in an ice cream maker instead. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The ice cream may be very hard when you take it out of the freezer. Let it sit on the counter for about 5 minutes before scooping it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте банку и отделите кокосовое масло от жидкости. Смешайте миндальное молоко, ванильный экстракт, сахар и соль. Переложите получившуюся массу в емкость, которую можно безопасно использовать в морозильной камере. Замораживайте смесь, перемешивая каждые 30 минут.


Take the curtains out of the dye bath and transfer them to your washing machine (if they are not already inside the machine). Run the machine through a full hot water cycle and set the rinse cycle to warm water.  If you can set the soil level of your washing machine, set it to "heavy soil." Do not drain the dye bath if you dyed the curtains in your washing machine. Simply run the machine using the water already inside. Add 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 ml) liquid laundry detergent to the washing machine and run it on a normal to warm wash cycle with a cool rinse.  The first wash cycle should have washed away most of the excess dye. This second cycle should help set the dye. Make sure that the water runs clear by the end of your cycle. When the water runs clear, the dye is set and should no longer bleed off the material. As long as the curtains are made from a material that can go through a dryer, the simplest and quickest way to dry them will be to toss them into your drying machine and tumble dry them on low until they are dry to the touch. Alternatively, you can hang dry the curtains on a clothesline. They should air dry completely after a day or two, as long as the day is dry and the sun is bright. Most of the dye should be out of your washing machine by this point, but to avoid potential laundry mishaps, it is still a good idea to clean the washing machine by running it through another cycle. Add half a capful of liquid detergent and run the machine through a warm wash cycle with a cool water rinse. Consider putting a little bleach in the washing machine for this step, as well. At this point, your curtains should be dyed and ready to hang in place.

TL;DR in Russian:

Постирайте занавески в режиме стирки в теплой воде. Запустите стиральную машину в режиме цикла “тепло / холод”. Просушите занавески. Очистите стиральную машину. Повесьте занавески.


Take the cuttings during the warm growing season, or roots may fail to form. Cuttings have the best chance to become established if you cut them early in springtime, but if you want additional flowers, you may wait until early or mid summer, then take the cuttings after the plant has bloomed. Waiting later than mid summer is not recommended unless you live in an area with late or no frosts, as the plant needs at least six weeks to grow roots before the ground freezes. "Nodes" are the clumps on a branch from which a cluster of leaves sprout. Select a young branch, low on the plant, with at least two nodes. There are two different methods of selecting a branch:   Softwood cuttings use only soft, new-growth material from this year, that has not yet become brown and woody. These cuttings will grow fastest, but are only usable if the soft material is at least 5 in. (12 cm) long, and includes at least two leafy nodes.   Hardwood cuttings include woody, brown stem material, but must also have at least an inch or two (2.5–5 cm) of soft, new growth at the tip. These require a root stimulator to encourage root growth, available at a gardening store. A root stimulator is necessary for growing hardwood cuttings. It is optional for softwood cuttings, since the young stem will grow roots without it. A root stimulator may be useful for a softwood cutting if you removed it from the mother plant late, less than six weeks before the first expected frost. Check the label and ingredients of a root stimulator before purchasing. Select a root stimulator that contains a root hormone, not just fertilizer and vitamin B1. Prepare a seed starting tray or small flowerpots to place the cuttings in for the first few weeks after cutting. Because plants without roots are sensitive to both drought and excessive moisture, use a special mix of 50% organic compost and 50% perlite to retain water at the correct level. Similar mixes sold at gardening stores can be used as well, such as a mix of sphagnum moss and perlite. Terra cotta flowerpots...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начинайте работу весной или летом. Выберите ветку, на которой есть не менее двух узлов роста. Приобретите стимулятор корнеобразования (для зеленых черенков необязателен). Подготовьте небольшие горшочки или лоток для предварительной выгонки и заполните специальной почвенной смесью. Срежьте ветку острым чистым ножом. Срежьте все листья с черенка, за исключением верхушки. Окуните нижний конец черенка в стимулятор корнеобразования (при использовании зеленых черенков необязательно). Посадите черенки в подготовленные для них контейнеры и хорошо полейте. Поддерживайте почву влажной и держите черенки притененными, но постепенно начинайте меньше поливать их и больше подставлять солнцу. После появления корней пересадите черенки в более крупные горшки или в открытый грунт.


Take the dough you've made and prepare it for sun baking. Make sure the pieces are spaced far enough apart to give them room to expand a bit without touching each other. You'll need to use at least 2 baking sheets to do this. To do this successfully, of course, you need to find a warm place with direct sunlight, with a temperature that should be ideally at least 80-85ºF (25-30ºC), if not much warmer. The warmer it is, of course, the more quickly your poppadoms will bake. Alternately, you can dry them in the oven at the lowest possible setting, for around 4-6 hours. If you're not ready to serve them, you should store them in an airtight container as soon as you can. They'll be good to go for up to 6 months. If you want to serve your poppadoms, either eat them right away or heat them up directly over an open flame or place them on a gas grill just until they're lightly toasted. You can also place them in your broiler, which should be set on high, until they're lightly toasted.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поместите круги теста на противень. Поместите противни под прямыми солнечными лучами на 24-48 часов. Хранение. Подавайте.


Take the first week to analyze your current diet habits. To do this, start a food diary. Record everything that you eat and drink for a week, be sure to include snacks and portion sizes. As you record your food and drink intake, also record your mood. You will be looking for patterns. Do you eat when sad, bored, stressed? If you find that you do eat when emotional, keep this in mind when starting your diet. You do not want to mindlessly fall back into old emotional habits. After a week of recording everything you eat, analyze your weekly food intake. Use a free online nutrition site to determine how many calories you consume. Add up the calories you consumed for the entire week. Then divide this number by 7 to find your daily average intake of calories. Macronutrients refers to how much fat, carbohydrates and protein is in the foods you eat. Use a free online nutrition site to determine the macronutrient content of your food. Determine your daily average by adding up your macronutrient intake for the entire week and dividing by 7. Do this for your daily fat, carbohydrate and protein intake. It is important to know your macronutrient intake because you want to restrict the right kind of calories to stay healthy on a diet. Brainstorm why you want to lose weight. Is it for health, vanity? Think about what your final goal is, write it down. Put this goal somewhere were you can see it regularly, such as on the fridge, your bathroom mirror, or your desktop.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проследите за режимом своего питания. Определите среднее количество калорий, которое вы поглощаете на настоящий момент. Определите среднее количество потребляемых макроэлементов. Признайтесь сами себе.


Take the front and back sections of the wrap and lift them up, pressing them against the basket, covering both ends and meeting the sides at the top. The sides of the wrap will then stick out.  Then, take the wrap touching the table (or surface) in the center and bring it up to the side of the basket. You'll then have a right and left "flap" jutting out. Do this on either side of the basket. Alternatively, you can just pull down the sides. Pull it taut; there will be a slight overlap in the middle where the front and back meet, but that's it. You can then tape them down on the bottom of the basket from there. You know how you have two "flaps" on either side of your basket, from where the center sides were brought in? Crease those at their bottom edges (like you're wrapping a standard box-shaped gift) and bring them in, back flap first. Then fold the front flaps over the back flaps, creating a sort of V-shape on the sides with the creases. Take the pieces that you folded down last (likely the front flaps) and secure them with tape. Transparent, double-sided, or packing tape all work. You'll probably want pieces that are around 2" (5 cm) long. This is where you start making the frilly firework fanfare at the top. By now the cellophane is taped down on the sides and jutting into the air at the top. Right at the top of the basket, grab the cellophane and cinch it together, as tightly as can be. With the wrap in one hand, use your other to "fluff" the top. Spread out the edges so it juts out symmetrically on all sides until it looks like you'd like it to.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поднимите длинные стороны целлофана и заверните их поверх коротких. Заверните передний край назад, а задний – вперед. Туго держите целлофан и в верхней части вашей корзинки.


Take the initiative and introduce yourself to a Cancer woman. Try not to be overly aggressive by using intimate pickup lines or invading her space. Cancer women are naturally shy and are apt to be more open to a laid-back approach. Try to notice what she’s doing, and use that information to say hello.  For example, if you see her select a candy bar a the grocery store, you could say, “Is that one good? I’ve been meaning to try it. I’m Mark, by the way.” If she’s not doing anything in particular, just start simple. Say, “Hi.” If she says hi back, ask her how her day is going. Take your Cancer woman to a movie, concert, or another date activity where she is not the sole focus of attention. Having something for both of you to focus on will keep her most comfortable. If conversation lags, comment on the activity at hand. Avoid intense one-on-one dinner dates early on, which may feel like an interrogation to a shy Cancer. Reveal a little bit about yourself when she asks you questions rather than giving short answers. If there’s a suitable opportunity to talk about something that was a challenge for you, go for it. Your Cancer woman will appreciate your ability to open up. For example, if she asks how you got into teaching, rather than simply saying, “I like it.” You could say, “I really want to make a difference for kids. My dad wasn’t always around growing up, and I had a teacher who made a really strong impression on me during that time.” Try not to be put off if a Cancer woman dodges your questions. Table the topic for now, and circle back to it when you know each other a bit better. Cancers are protective and naturally shy, especially about their families and close friends. For example, if she says avoids a personal question, say, “No problem. I want to make you feel comfortable.” Prove you are trustworthy by following through on your actions and words. Cancer women crave a reliable, stable partner. By showing her you can be that person, she’ll be more attracted to you. For example, if you say you’re going to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте первый шаг. Выбирайте для свидания места, связанные с активной деятельностью. Продемонстрируйте уязвимость. Будьте терпеливы, если ей потребуется время, чтобы раскрыться. Если вы сказали, что сделаете что-то, значит, делайте. Не ходите на свидания с другими женщинами.


Take the lid off the pitcher and wash it in the sink with hot water and your basic dishwashing detergent. Wipe it down with a washcloth or sponge, making sure to get into the crevices of the lid as best as you can. For pitchers with electronics in the lid, be sure to not submerge them in water. For Brita pitchers that feature a chrome lid, mix one teaspoon of vinegar into a cup of warm water and gently wipe the lid down with a soft cloth dipped in the water. The filter does not need to be washed, but rinse it off with warm water if you want to. Set the filter on a clean surface so you don't contaminate it. Take the water reservoir out of the pitcher, if it has one, and put it in the sink. Using a mild dish detergent and warm water, wipe the reservoir down with a soft cloth. Be sure to wipe the inside and outside of the reservoir, as well as the cradle where the filter sits.

TL;DR in Russian:

Снимите крышку и помойте ее. Достаньте фильтр и отложите его в сторону. Достаньте и помойте воронку.


Take the loose end of yarn in your left hand and wrap it around two or three fingers of your right hand, creating a loop.  Start at the palm-side of your hand and wrap the yarn over your forefinger. Wrap the yarn around the back of your fingers, past the middle or ring finger, and back up along the palm-side of your hand. You should create a full, closed loop. Hold this loop closed with the thumb of your right hand. Use your left hand to grab the yarn just before the loop. Pull this yarn through the loop, working from the bottom (palm-side) of the loop to the top (thumb-side).  The yarn you grab should come from the side of the yarn still attached to the ball. Do not grab from the loose end. After completing this step, you should see a second loop form. Slide the first loop of yarn off your fingers once this second loop appears. Slide the hooked part of your crochet hook into the second loop your created. Pull down on the loose yarn beneath your loops to tighten the yarn around the hook.  The loop of yarn should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the top of your hook. When you pull down on the yarn, the first loop should turn into a knot and the second loop should close onto the hook. Once the yarn is tightly attached to the hook, you're ready to begin making stitches.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обмотайте пряжу вокруг пальцев. Проденьте нить в петлю. Вставьте крючок во вторую петлю.


Take the loose petiole (blade) between your fingers and pull gently. If the petiole does not come off easily, leave it. Palm flowers and fruits take energy and nutrients away from the tree, attract pests, and create hazards for people walking below.  Cut fruit and fruit stalks from the fronds or trunk and remove flower growth by hand. Fruit stalks and flowers should be removed as soon as they are visible. Place fronds in a trash bin made for organic waste. Palm tree fronds tend to have sharp needle-like protrusions that can prick those who handle the waste.  Continue to wear gardening gloves as you clean up debris. Pick up any fallen fruit, flowers or seeds. Pests that can harm the tree are attracted to dropped seeds and fruit. Fallen fruit can also stain concrete and produce unpleasant odors, and the seeds can germinate in undesirable places. Consult your local waste disposal service department to find out how and where to dispose of palm debris. Palm trees do best when left alone. Green fronds produce all of a palm tree's food. Keeping them around is integral to maintaining the health and strength of your tree. For that reason, you should never take off more leaves in one year than the tree can produce in that time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Уберите свободные черешки (листовые пластины) с ветвей. Если пальма цветет или плодоносит, отрежьте цветоносы. Выбросьте отрезанные ветви, цветы или фрукты. Проведите следующую обрезку не раньше, чем через год (а лучше позже).


Take the sausage stuffer out of the freezer, and set it up according to the manufacturer instructions. Run warm water through the sausage casings, and get them ready to stuff by draping one end over the rim of the bowl while the tail continues to soak in warm water. Prepare a cold platter on which to place the stuffed sausages. Lastly, remove the sausage meat from the freezer.  When you run water through the casings, check to see if there's a leak. If you find one, discard that casing.  Try to keep the casings from getting twisted since you might accidentally rip one if you have to untangle them. Each casing is several feet long. The entire casing should be slipped onto the tube with a tail of 8 inches (20.3 cm) or so hanging off the end. When you stuff the sausage, the meat will fill the casing. In some cases you only need one casing for an entire batch of sausage. Place the meat into the sausage stuffer all at once. Crank down the stuffer so that the meat begins emerging from the stuffing tube and fills the casing. Use one hand to help the casing slowly slip off the tube as the sausage meat fills it, and use the other hand to guide the sausage into a coil shape.  It takes some practice to get the hang of how fast to crank the stuffer and fill the casing. So, go slowly at first since you don't want the casing to rip. If you have sausage meat that won't fit in the stuffer, keep it in an ice cold bowl until you run out of sausage. Then, quickly fill the stuffer again. If you run out of casing, remove it from the stuffer, tie off the end, and resume with a new casing. Keep stuffing casings until you run out of meat. You should now have one or more coils of sausage knotted at one end of the casing and open at the other. Form the links by measuring six inches from the knot, pinching the sausage with your thumb and forefinger, and using your hands to twist the two pieces toward yourself three times.  Measure another six inches down the coil, make a pinch, and this time twist away from yourself three times....

Подготовьте аппарат для начинки. Наденьте оболочку на трубку для начинки. Начините оболочку. Сформируйте сосиски.


Take the stiffener or interfacing and fold it in half lengthwise, to make the strip half as long. Then use a sewing machine or sew by hand to create a seam about ¼ inch (.63 cm) in from the edge that connects the shorter, raw edges of the interfacing. Do the same for the brim piece, so that you are left with two loops. Take the loop you made from your brim piece and cuff it in on itself to make it half its original width. This should leave you with a cuffed piece of cloth that has a folded edge on one side of its length and raw edges on the other side. After cuffing your brim piece, fold the raw edges of the brim piece inward about ¼ inch (.63 cm). Make sure to fold them over to the inside rather to the outside to hide the raw edges. Iron the brim piece, paying special attention to press the area you just folded over. Turn the brim piece inside out so that the seams are visible. Then tuck the stiffener or interfacing into the ¼ inch (.63 cm)  “cuff” that you made by tucking in the raw edges. Sew by hand using straight stitches or use a sewing machine to sew the two fabrics together. Adjust your sewing machine’s stitch length and the machine’s tension to the highest setting. Then place the edge of the circular cloth under the needle of the machine and sew all the way around the circle, about ½ inch (1.25 cm) from the edge. This will create ruffled pleats in what will become the puffy top of the chef’s hat.  Adjust the stitch length and tension of your machine back to the usual settings after you finish. If you don’t have a sewing machine, hand sew using long, straight stitches and pull tightly after each stitch to create pleats. Slide the ruffled top part of the hat into the “cuff” of the brim piece you made, so that ½ inch (1.25 cm) of the ruffled hat top is inside the open part of the brim. Pin all the way around the top of the brim to keep the top part of the hat in place. Hand sew or machine sew all around the brim where it overlaps with the ruffled top piece, about ¼ inch (.63 cm) from the top edge of the...

Take the terracotta pot out of its packaging, and put it into a bucket filled with water. The pet needs to be completely submerged. This will moisten the entire pet, and help the seeds stick to it better. While the pet is soaking, put 2 teaspoons (5 grams) of Chia seeds into ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of water. This softens the seeds, and "wakes" them up. The seeds will start growing once they get wet. This will be enough for one pet. Chia pet kits often contain enough seeds for several pets. This will help the seeds soak more evenly. You don't need to stir the seeds again after this. During this time, the seeds will form a gel-like coating. This will help them stick to the Chia pet. After the soaking time is over, take the Chia pet out of the water. Place it on the drip tray, and fill it with fresh water. The drip tray will catch any extra water. It will also protect your desk or windowsill from getting stained. If you don't have a drip tray, use a plastic dish or lid that is a little bit larger than your pet. Make sure that the seeds are somewhat sparse and spread out. You can use your fingers, a small knife, or even a spatula. Try to spread the seeds as evenly as possible; don't let them clump in any one area. If there is a hole in the top of your pet, take care to avoid it. This is where you will be pouring the water.  You may not end up using all of the seeds. If your seeds aren't sticking to the Chia pet, empty the pot, and spread the seeds over it again. Keep the pot empty, and don't water the seeds 2 days. Don't let the bag touch the actual pet, however, or the seeds won't sprout. The plastic bag will help create a mini greenhouse for your Chia pet. Take the bag off after 3 to 4 days, when most of the seeds have sprouted. If you are having troubles getting the bag to stay up, put a long stick inside the watering hole of your pet, then place the bag on top of that. The stick will prop the bag up, like a tent. Some gardeners will recommend waiting until the seedlings sprout before moving the pet into a sunny spot.

TL;DR in Russian:

Замочите питомца чиа в воде на 24 часа. Залейте водой семена чиа (если они прилагались отдельно и не были сразу включены в субстрат производителем). Через 15 минут перемешайте семена в воде ложкой. Оставьте семена отмокать на 24 часа. Полейте питомца чиа свежей водой и поставьте его на поддон. Равномерно распределите семена по предусмотренным для них канавкам на глиняной поверхности горшка-основы или просто на субстрате. Если в помещении сухой воздух, накройте питомца чиа полиэтиленовым пакетом на первые 3–4 дня. Поставьте питомца чиа на солнечное место и дождитесь окончательного обрастания зеленью.


Take the time and talk to your partner, and more importantly, listen. Engage your partner by asking open-ended questions, then leisurely reflect upon what he or she says. Be open with sharing your feelings, and allow your partner to do the same. You can practice reflective listening by saying, “I hear you saying that things are difficult between you and your parents” or, “It sounds like you’re feeling really stressed about work.” With jobs, families, and other issues that require your time, sometimes the relationship is the part that suffers the most from time taken away. Stress is a normal part of life, but chronic stress causes a spike in cortisol, a hormone that can reduce the desire for physical intimacy. Needless to say, this can cause damage to your relationship in the long run. Eliminate stressful elements from your life if possible, and combat stress by exercising regularly, doing yoga, or meditating. Encourage your partner to do the same, especially if he or she struggles with stress.  Manage your time to avoid the stress caused by rushing to meet a deadline. Take care of tasks as they come up rather than letting them pile up, and use a planner to keep track of obligations. Spend more time doing things that you enjoy. Life can’t be all work and no play, so make it a point to devote at least one day each week to doing what you love. Find something that will interest both of you and work toward it. Having a long-term goal assures that you will spend time together during your week and can lift you out of the work-family life rut. Some possible projects might be:  Train for a sporting event together such as a triathlon. Learn a new language together, then visit a country where it’s spoken. Build something like a boat, a shed, or a garden. Trying something novel can increase intimacy. Choose an activity that neither of you has done before, and maybe even one that’s a little scary. Sharing the experience of having trepidatious misgivings and then going through with an activity anyway will probably bring...

TL;DR in Russian:

Умейте внимательно слушать. Справляйтесь со стрессом. Запланируйте совместную цель на длительное время. Попробуйте что-то новое. Старайтесь сосредоточиться на общей картине.


Take the time to build solid relationships with the people about whom you care. Listen to their problems. Help them when necessary. When you offend them, apologize and strive to do better. Practice kind gestures like giving people rides or birthday cards. See Have a Healthy Relationship for more advice. Additionally, practice these behaviors:  Build a circle of trust. Make sure your family members and friends know they can share their thoughts openly with you. Do not tell other people's secrets. If someone asks you to keep a confidence, do so. Be compassionate towards others. Even if someone wrongs you, if they are sincere in their repentance, show them forgiveness. Do not bring up their past transgressions in moments of anger. Be direct when speaking to others. Listen carefully and attentively. If you have disagreements, try to fight effectively. That is, do not call each other names. Instead, discuss your problems calmly. Make sure you listen to the other person's point of view.  For example, it might be wise during arguments to repeat the other person's point of view. This shows you understand. You might say, "What I'm hearing you say is that you are annoyed by the fact that I am always home so late." Ask rather than assume. If you feel a relationship is suffering in some way, talk to the other person openly and candidly. Part of living a good life comes from building a tight-knit local network. If you have neighbors, be helpful to them. Watch their cat when they go on vacation. Offer to shovel an elderly neighbor’s driveway. Practice neighborliness and you might find it is contagious. One way to live a good life is to contribute to the community in which you live. You might volunteer at a soup kitchen or run a clothes drive for refugees. Ask your local government representatives or religious organizations for tips on which causes could use help. You also could plan a fundraiser for a cause in the global community.

TL;DR in Russian:

Стройте прочные отношения с близкими людьми. Стимулируйте здоровое общение. Будьте хорошим соседом. Вносите вклад в общество.


Take the time to cushion each individual cookie, or each pair of cookies with the flat bottoms placed together. You should use plastic wrap, cellophane bags, or foil to wrap the cookies without leaving any room for air or moisture. You can even wrap them twice if you're using plastic wrap or foil to maximize their freshness. You should pack the crunchy cookies together, and the softer cookies together, or the crunchy cookies will get soft and the softer cookies will get crunchy. You don't need to place them in separate containers to separate them by type, but you should separate them with resealable bags, or even cellophane goodie bags if you want to be fancy. If you're only shipping one type of cookie, then you can put sheets of waxed paper between the layers of the cookies. Use a Snapware container, tin container, or at least a plastic food storage container to store the cookies. The container will need to be able to be sealed tightly with a lid, so if you use a tin container, you'll need to tape around the lid to make sure that the lid doesn't pop off while the container is in transit. Once you've chosen your container, you should line it with cookie-cradling packing materials, such as crumpled waxed or parchment paper, crumbled up newspaper or thick paper, bubble wrap, or foam peanuts. You can also stuff resealable bags with real popcorn and use that as stuffing, so the recipient will receive an extra treat as well as an even more buttery and delicious-smelling package.  If you want the cookies to stay fresh, then you'll need to use to package the cookies tightly so that they don't have room to bounce around or fall apart. On the other hand, make sure you don't pack them too tightly, or they'll get squished and will lose their original texture. Once you've individually wrapped the cookies and separated them by type, you should place them in the container, so that they're surrounded by the stuffing. Once you've placed them in the container, you can use stuffing to fill the top of the container and to fill...

Take the time to make sure you don't have dirty hands. You want to make sure that you don't accidentally introduce germs or dirt into the tank while you clean it. If you use soap, make sure to rinse it off thoroughly. Soap residue can kill fish. It is important to keep all electrical appliances unplugged and away from the tank while you are cleaning it. While these appliances should be made for use in a fish tank, you do not want them to accidentally fall into the tank or be otherwise submerged in water. To clean the tank you will first need to set up a safe and clean place to stash your fish. Find a clean cup or bowl that you can put the fish in. Take some of the water from the Betta's existing tank and place it into the glass or bowl; You will need just enough water so that the fish will have a little room to swim around. In addition, you will need the tools to clean and refresh the tank's water. You will also need: a sink, a plastic cup or net to scoop the fish and water, paper towels and a scrubber to clean the inside of the tank, water conditioner (which is available at most pet or aquarium stores), a sieve to use when cleaning tank gravel, and a plastic spoon. Using a small cup, scoop out 50% to 80% of the water in the tank. Set it aside so that it can be used later on in the tank. This has to be done because you cannot change the water entirely, as it might put the betta into shock. Instead, you will put the water you set aside back into the tank, after it is cleaned.  If you are a new owner, you can start by 50% water changes and gradually increase it till you reach 80%. Most of the filth in a betta's tank is in the gravel at the bottom. If you take the water off the top, then you will still be getting rid of most of the dirt and grime when you clean the gravel. Once you have removed some of the water from the tank, scoop your fish with the same cup. Take your time and be careful of the fish's fins. If you go really slow, you may be able to get the fish to settle into the cup while it is underwater,...

Take the time to read each job posting in its entirety. You want to glean as much information as possible about the advertised position and about the type of person the company is seeking. As you read the job posting, take a moment to highlight words and phrases that seem especially important – generally, those are the words that reflect required or desired education, experience, and skills. The words you highlight will be your core keywords. The level of detail varies considerably from one job posting to another. If the posting for a particular job is short or lacks detail, spend some time finding and reading advertisements for similar positions in the same industry, even if you do not plan to apply for them. These ads may include helpful keywords that the ad for your desired position does not. Add these to your list. Every industry has its own particular set of keywords or buzzwords. In the hospitality industry, for example, a significant keyword is “RevPar” (revenue per available room). Placing these words in your resume (assuming you can do so truthfully) will increase the likelihood of making it through a first round of screening done by recruiting management software.

TL;DR in Russian:

Внимательно прочтите объявление о вакансии. Выделите потенциальные ключевые слова. Просмотрите аналогичные объявления о работе. Исследуйте сферу деятельности компании для выявления дополнительных ключевых слов.


Take the time to sit down and have engaged, deliberate conversations with your baby. Focus on your baby as he or she speaks, just as you would focus on any other conversational partner you might have.  Sit in front of your baby and look directly into his or her eyes as you speak. Alternatively, sit with your baby in your lap or carry your little one around as you converse. Converse with your baby at every opportunity. When you change your little one's diaper or feed your baby, for instance, talk through the activity. Conversations with your baby will likely consist of both babbles and "real" speech. If you don't know what to say, say anything. Tell your baby about your plans or ask rhetorical questions. Your baby may not understand the words, but he or she will learn how to respond to different inflections and intonations. When your baby begins to babble, repeat his or her babbles. Each “ba-ba-ba” your baby makes should be followed with a “ba-ba-ba” of your own.  Repeating after your baby's babbles will let your little one know that you are giving him or her your undivided attention. Since your baby wants your attention, he or she is likely to babble more often in an effort to keep it. Similarly, you can respond to your baby's babbles with unrelated expressions that let your baby know you're listening. After a string of babble, you could excitedly respond with "I see!" or "Really!" After your baby finishes his or her own babbles, introduce similar sounding babbles. For instance, after repeating your baby's “ba-ba-ba,” follow by saying something like “bo-bo-bo” or “ma-ma-ma.” You could also follow up your baby's babbles with simple words that contain the same sound as the babble your baby just made. For example, if your baby says, "bah," you could respond with "bah-bah-ball." If your baby says "dah," you could reply with "dah-dah-dog." Whether you are repeating babbles or using real words, you should be slow and deliberate as you speak to your baby. Your baby will begin to understand your speech before...

Разговаривайте с малышом. Повторяйте за малышом. Вводите новые звуки лепета. Говорите медленно и просто. Будьте позитивным. Не прекращайте говорить. Изменяйте тон голоса.


Take the time to wash your extensions at least a few times a week if not daily. Remove light debris and dust in between washings with a little warm water and combing. Do this by wetting your lashes with a little warm water and then very gently combing them out. Don’t let moisture-rich products like shampoos, conditioners, glycerin, or heavy creams near your lashes or lash line to protect the integrity of the adhesive. For example, tilt your head back in the shower to keep these products away from your eyes. Also try dabbing a very thin line of 70% isopropyl alcohol on your lash line once a week to wipe away excess oil that can be produced by sweat when you exercise frequently. Avoid tugging, rubbing, or pulling at your lashes. This will loosen them and make them look clumpy if you’re not careful. It can also pull out your natural lashes. Get them professionally removed if the extensions itch or are otherwise really bothering you. Avoid cream eyeshadows, and use powdered eyeshadow as you normally would, focusing application at the very corners of your eyes. Steer away from liquid eyeliner, which can damage your extensions. Most importantly, never use mascara. It will damage your extensions and leave them looking and feeling crusty.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно очищайте наращенные ресницы. Защищайте ресницы от масла. Не трите глаза. Наносите макияж с осторожностью.


Take the unwanted clothes, games, toys, and other stuff lying around your room and sell it. This is a good way of not only earning money, but getting rid of clutter.  Get your parents to help you sell it on eBay or Craigslist. You can sell everything from clothes to toys on there. Take your clothes and shoes to a consignment shop. Consignment shops pay money for quality, second-hand items. Some consignment shops will even take toys. Make sure the items are in good quality so you get the best price. Sell your old video games and video game systems back to gaming stores. Or try selling them on eBay or Amazon. Have a yard sale. This might not be easy since your parents will have to do a lot of work, but maybe you can convince them to share some of the profits from their sales if you do a lot of the organizing work. Are you good at math, language arts, or science? Did you ace your standardized tests? If so, you can tutor kids younger than you in your community. Tutoring sessions usually last 30 minutes to an hour, once or twice a week. If you are an experienced musician, think about giving music lessons to people in your community - both young and old. Teach people how to play the piano, the guitar, the flute, or the violin. Use your years of hard work and practice to your advantage now. Offer your musical services for a fee at local events. Play the piano at a reception, play the guitar at a wedding, or play the violin at a local festival. Do you know sign language? Then you can sell your time as an interpreter. If you Learn HTML or a programming language, people or companies can hire you to build websites and applications. If you're good at drawing and painting, think about painting faces at birthday parties and other events for a small fee. The holidays are an extremely busy time for families. Offer to help them in various ways. Help them decorate their house, bake, wrap presents, and address greeting card envelopes. People always need a little extra help during such busy times. Baking, knitting, crocheting,...
