If your energy levels do not improve, then make an appointment with your family physician and get your blood sugar levels checked. Diabetes is characterized by chronic high blood glucose due to lack of insulin or insulin resistance. Your body needs insulin to get glucose into cells so energy molecules (ATP) can be made.  A common symptom of diabetes is daytime fatigue that is not alleviated by sleeping, exercise, or eating nutritious meals. Dehydration from excessive urination is also common with diabetes, which contributes to tiredness too, as noted above. Other symptoms of diabetes include weight loss, confusion (brain fog), blurred vision, and a sweet-smelling breath odor. Another common cause of tiredness and fatigue is hormonal imbalance. Glands in your body produce hormones, many of which impact metabolism, energy production, and mood. Your doctor can send you for blood tests that measure hormones and other compounds made by these glands.  Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) is a common cause of chronic fatigue, especially in women. Adrenal fatigue can be caused by chronic stress, heavy caffeine consumption and/or over-medication. The most common symptoms of adrenal fatigue are fatigue, lack of energy, nervousness and sleep disturbance.  Menopause commonly leads to lack of energy, hot flashes, insomnia, and emotional problems. It's brought on by a natural decline in female reproductive hormones (estrogen and progesterone), but certain diseases and conditions can trigger it prematurely. A major symptom of anemia is feeling fatigued or weak. Anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough healthy blood cells to function properly. Anemia may be caused by an iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, a chronic disease (such as Chron's disease or rheumatoid arthritis), or many other factors, so it is important to see your doctor if you are experiencing ongoing fatigue. If you are constantly tired but testing determines that you are otherwise healthy, you may want to look at your emotional health. Both...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проконсультируйтесь со своим лечащим врачом и сдайте анализы для диагностики диабета. Обсудите с врачом возможность гормонального дисбаланса. Сдайте анализы на выявление анемии. Подумайте, не является ли  депрессия или тревожность причиной вашей усталости. Получите направление в клинику снижения веса.


If your eyes are exposed to HF, they will experience rapid symptoms.  If your eyes only have mild exposure, expect rapid irritation and possibly pain.  This may be followed by a clouding of the cornea of the eye, which may be reversible. If severe exposure occurs, expect a rapid onset of pain and damage to the cornea.  The cornea may degrade and the eye may swell.  Clouding of the eye may become permanent as well as any other visual defects in the eye. As soon as your eyes are exposed to HF, flush them with large amounts of cool, running water for at least thirty minutes. This will flush out the acid and help prevent continued damage to the eyes. If only one eye has been contaminated, be sure to not wash acid into the other eye. Keep your eyelids apart and away from the eyeballs while washing. Tilt your head to the side so that water runs off your eye from the side closest to your nose towards your temples.  This will prevent the contaminated water from rinsing back into your eye, nose, mouth, or other vital areas on the face. Once you wash your eyes out, seek medical attention immediately. Ideally, you should see an eye specialist so he or she will know the best way to treat you. This cannot be reiterated enough. HF is a highly reactive substance and can cause severe damage, visual defects, and blindness. On your way to the emergency room, you should apply an ice pack to your eyes. Applying an ice pack to the affected area may lessen the effects of the HF, while also helping to alleviate the painful symptoms. Once you get to the emergency room or eye doctor, he or she will assess the damage in order to limit the long-term effects to your eyes. You will most likely continue to receive flushing of the eye, as well as topical tetracaine ointment and a 1% calcium gluconate flush. The goal of immediate treatment is to reduce your pain, neutralize the effects of burns, and then to assess and come up with a treatment plan based on the outcome. Prior to discharge, your doctor will assess your electrolyte balances...

Выявите симптомы. Промойте глаза водой. Постарайтесь как можно быстрее получить медицинскую помощь. Приложите пакетик со льдом. Обратитесь к офтальмологу. Пройдите необходимые анализы.


If your fabric is made out of natural fibers like cotton, linen, silk, and wool, most fabric dyes will work. If your fabric is made out of synthetic materials like polyester, spandex, and acrylic, look for a black fabric dye that says “synthetic fibers” on the label. Non-synthetic fabric dyes may not dye fabrics made with synthetic materials. A large bowl or bucket will work. Make sure the container is large enough to hold the piece of fabric you're dyeing. Fill the container with enough water that you'll be able to completely submerge your piece of fabric. Using boiling water will give you the best results, but your fabric will still dye if you just use hot water from a tap. If you have access to a stovetop and large pot, you can make your dye bath on the stovetop and turn the burner to low. Keeping the water hot throughout the dye process will make the final color darker. Read the label on the back of the fabric dye to see how much you should use. Keep in mind that the more fabric dye you use, the darker the final color will be. If you want your fabric to be a dark, solid black, you may want to use an entire container of fabric dye. Stir the dye thoroughly with a spoon. You can find a black fabric dye online or at your local fabric store. Use .25 cups (59 mL) of salt per .5 pounds (0.23 kg) of fabric you're dyeing. Thoroughly stir the salt into the dye bath with a spoon. For example, if you're dyeing 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of fabric, you would use 1.5 cups (350 mL) of salt.

If your feeder is close enough to the window, birds won’t be able to pick up enough velocity to hurt themselves when flying into it. If it is far enough away, then the bird will be more likely to recognize that the window is not part of the natural environment. Ideally you should place your feeder either less than 3 feet from the window or more than 30 feet from it. Birds are drawn to the reflection of the natural environment that they see in your windows. Installing drapes or blinds will obstruct that reflection. This should reduce the likelihood of them flying into your window. You can also place decals on your window. However, to significantly reduce the likelihood of birds flying into the window you will need to have stickers placed no more than 2 inches apart horizontally and 4 inches apart vertically. This would obstruct much of your view. These can be doubly effective. They will reduce the reflectivity of the glass, decreasing the likelihood that birds will fly into the window. Furthermore, they will provide cushion and reduce the chance of injury if a bird does fly into your window.

TL;DR in Russian:

If your fish has a contagious condition, it will need to be removed from the tank so that any illness does not infect other fish. Prepare a holding tank for your fish by putting fresh, conditioned water into the tank. Remove your fish from the original tank and put it in the new tank. If your fish is experiencing stress because of a new fish or environmental change in its tank, you might find that it feels better after being isolated. Many disorders that fish have can be highly contagious. Anything that touched the fish or the water, including your hands, the fishnet, a spoon, etc., will need to be disinfected before it should come in contact with another fish. Use antibacterial soap to wash your hands. Disinfect any other item that has come in contact with the fish or the water in the tank using a bleach solution of 1 part bleach and 9 parts water. Soak items for 10 minutes in the bleach solution and rinse very thoroughly. Rinse again for good measure. Never add bleach to the fish tank when fish are in it, as this can kill fish. Once you have positively identified your fish’s ailment, you can administer a common fish medication to your fish. Give the medication intended for the ailment, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  Be sure to give your fish the entire course of medication as recommended by the medicine’s manufacturer. Use good judgment when giving medications to your fish. Don’t try out several medications guessing at the right one. If you are unsure, you might consider consulting an aquatic veterinarian.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изолируйте рыбку. Дезинфицируйте все после контакта с заболевшей рыбкой. Лечите рыбку препаратами.


If your flirtation is in the early stages simply exchange a smile.  Tell her how pretty she looks today, or compliment her on her outfit.  Speak specifically about her as a person, about her laugh, her eyes, and any unique mannerisms you pick up on.  Never touch her, especially at first.  Look her in the eye when you are speaking to her to show your attention is fully on her. Stand up straight, and don't slouch.  Never think that you can't date her.  You have to think positively about your prospects.  Older girls detect that level of confidence and are attracted to it.  Speak smoothly instead of bumbling over your words.  Crack a joke every once in a while that gets her to laugh.  Keep a smile on your face, and never frown. Keep the conversation going.  Always have something in the back of your mind to say when she is done speaking.  You don't want any awkward silences. Talk about mature topics such as a sports team you belong to, a book you have recently read, or something you know someone her age would find interesting.  Ask her where she works, what sports she plays, what college she plans on going to, and where her family is from.  These are mature questions, that show that you sincerely care about getting to know her as a person, rather than as a sexual object. If she is in a debate team, for example, joining the team will get her to notice and consider you.  This especially works when the girl knows that it is out of your comfort zone.  For example, join the book club she is in, even if you don't like to read that much.  This shows that you are willing to work in order to ask her out in the future.  You not only care about what you are interested in, but what she likes as well. She can be saying nice things, but her eyes might wander off.  You will want to hold her attention by the way you look, the forcefulness of your tone, or your overall endearing personality.  If she just doesn't seem that interested, move onto someone else.  To be a mature man, you have to understand that older girls know what...

TL;DR in Russian:

Флиртуя с девушкой, ведите себя по-взрослому. При разговоре с ней будьте уверены в себе. Узнайте, что ей нравится. Примите участие в деятельности, которая ей интересна. Попробуйте прочесть язык ее тела, а не слова. Подружитесь с некоторыми из ее друзей. Не бойтесь пригласить ее на свидание.


If your front and back doors are hollow, you need to replace them immediately. How do you know if your door is hollow? Simply knock on it. Hollow doors are merely sheets of veneer over a cardboard core. All exterior doors should be solid and made from the following  materials:  Fiberglass Solid wood Solid wood core (a layer of veneer over solid wood) Metal (Note: make sure metal doors are reinforced inside and have what is called a lock block. Otherwise, they can be bent out of the frame using a car jack) Having a door open in this way helps absorb any type of forced entry. For maximum security, all doors should be windowless, and you should not have windows close enough to the door so that a thief could break the window and unlock the door from the inside. A deadbolt isn't much help on any door like this for that reason. A big dog's the only possible hindrance with these doors, but only with the landlord's permission.  If you do have sliding glass doors, glass door panels or nearby windows, however, cover the glass with a security grate or grille on the outside or a clear, unbreakable polycarbonate panel secured behind the glass on the inside.

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите надежные двери. При установке или замене дверей или каркаса, сделайте их лучше открывающимися наружу, а не вовнутрь, не забыв оснастить специальными защитными петлями. Замените все наружные двери с окнами на полностью непрозрачные.


If your front suspension uses MacPherson struts, look for a wear indicator, which is usually a grease fitting. Grasp the fitting and try to wiggle it. If the fitting moves around inside the housing, you’ll need to replace the ball joint. Many front wheel drive cars with strut suspensions should not be jacked up using the lower control arm, so it's a good idea to consult your owner's manual before attempting to inspect the joint. In general, you're going to want to jack the car up in the directed place as you normally would, on the crossing member of the frame. Let the MacPherson struts extend as far out as you can before you try to check the wheels for play. Rock the lower part of the wheel around to see if there is any play in the joint. If there is any play in the joint, it must be replaced. The ball joint assembly in a vehicle with strut suspension should be silent. Any clicking sound when you move it up indicates it's worn out and not working smoothly as it should. If you notice significant play, you need to change the ball joint. Alternatively, have someone look at the ball joint while you attempt to move it. It'll shudder slightly and look insecure if it needs to be replaced.

If your girlfriend can't keep her hands off of you and is always touching you, has her arms around you, or wants you to hold her hand, put your arm around her, or even drape her across your lap, then she may be ready for more. If her actions have been getting more sexual -- like if she's touching your manhood through your pants, or placing your hands on her breasts -- then she may be ready for something more.   If she's more physical around you, then this means she's probably more comfortable around you. And she'll only have sex with you if she feels comfortable with you. See how she dances with you. Does she get closer to your body than ever? She may be trying to tell you something. It's unlikely that your girlfriend wants to have sex with you if you've never even  kissed. But if you've been making out for a while and have moved further than that, then it's more likely that she's ready to have sex. If you've touched her breasts, and if you've touched each other's private parts or even performed oral sex on each other, then it's more likely -- though not guaranteed -- that she may be ready to move further with you.  Just because a girl gives you oral sex does not mean that she's ready to have sex with you. Some girls give oral sex way before they're ready to have sex, while others aren't comfortable giving oral sex until after sex -- or they don't give it at all. Every girl is different. If you kiss for hours and your girl doesn't do anything more, she may either be waiting for you to make the next move, or she may really just not be ready to have sex. If she pushes you away every time you try to touch her breasts, take off her shirt, or touch her below the belt, then she is definitely not ready. If suddenly, your girlfriend's friends are nowhere to be found, and she wants to spend a lot of time alone with you, in one of your homes or bedrooms, then it's likely that she wants to get intimate -- to some degree. If she wasn't ready for sex, then she'd be more likely to avoid any uncomfortable situations where...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, стала ли девушка чаще прикасаться к вам. Оцените существующую степень близости. Подумайте, хочет ли она проводить больше времени наедине с вами. Вспомните, приглашает ли она вас к себе домой. Подумайте, не пытается ли она остаться у вас ночевать.


If your girlfriend cheats on you, guess what? It's not the end of the world. In fact, you should maybe take it as a good thing. If your girlfriend felt the need to cheat, that means your relationship was unfulfilling in some way, possibly broken beyond repair. Now, it can be over, and you can both stop wasting your time in a relationship that doesn't work. Stay calm, take a big breath, and try to keep a cool head.  Leave the scene, if necessary. If you catch your girlfriend cheating, just walk away. If you find some kind of evidence, walk away. Call a friend, or a family member, and talk it out. The last thing you ever want to do is lash out violently or irrationally. Be the bigger person in this relationship. Stay calm, and decide what you want to do. Breaking up is hard. Your girlfriend's feelings for you might have kept her from telling you to your face, to avoid the pain of the break-up. So, really, whether or not your girlfriend is cheating, it's a bad sign that you've come to this point anyway. It's still important to Try to be objective and honest with each other.  Ask your girlfriend big questions. What do you want from this relationship? What are you not getting from this relationship? What might I be able to change to make it work better? Try to be as specific as possible. You don't need the answer to a question like, "Why did you cheat on me?" or "What did you do with him?" Focus on things that matter for going forward, not looking back. Try to keep things focused on her feelings and not on the way that you feel. Being cheated on hurts, and you may want to express your feelings and hash it out with your partner, but take a step back and focus your energy where it will matter.  If she's already given up on the relationship, there's little point in bearing your soul to someone who doesn't care. Walk out on her. The relationship is over, if one party has given up on it. If she wants to work it out, then you can talk about how you feel and decide whether or not you want to. Try to think about whether...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Спросите девушку, счастлива ли она, но не заводите речь об измене. Спросите девушку, чего она хочет. Выслушайте девушку. Поделитесь своими чувствами, когда придет время.


If your girlfriend is ready to take the next step with you, it's likely that she'll be talking about sex more. She can do this in a lot of different ways, from talking about your friends who just started having sex, to casually asking your opinion on sexual topics. If the word "sex" is on the tip of her tongue, then it's obviously on her mind.  If she mentions sex while you're alone together, then it's even more likely that she wants to have sex with you. If she's suddenly very curious about which of your friends are having sex and which aren't, then she may be wondering when you two will have sex too. If she tells you that you have a great chest, sexy biceps, or amazing abs, then she's hinting that your body turns her on. Instead of telling you that she likes your shirt or that you have a great haircut, she's choosing to let you know that she notices your body -- and may be thinking about all of the things it can do for her. If she gives you these compliments while you're kissing or being intimate, then it's even more likely that she may want to take the next step. If she comes over, pats your bed, and says it's "really comfortable," then she may be hinting that she wants to lie down on it with you. If she even does lie on the bed and talk about how great it is, then she wants you to join her as soon as possible. This is a pretty bold move, but yes, your lady may just tell you that she's in the mood, feeling frisky, or just wants to hook up. This doesn't necessarily mean that she wants to have sex, but if she's comfortable enough to tell you that she's in the mood for something intimate, then it's not a leap that she may want to have sex with you. If your girlfriend has started talking dirty to you over the phone, sending you dirty texts, talking dirty when you're making out or doing something more, or even having phone sex with you, then she may be ready to take it to the next level. Of course, this could all just be talk, but if she's comfortable enough with herself and you to go this far, then she may be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, стала ли она говорить о сексе чаще. Обратите внимание на то, делает ли она вам пикантные комплименты. Обратите внимание, не стала ли она чаще говорить о вашей кровати. Вспомните, говорит ли вам о том, что она возбуждена. Вспомните, говорит ли она вам неприличные вещи.


If your hair isn't already blonde, consider dying your hair blonde. Choose one strand of hair that is at the front of your face and dye that strand hot pink. Part your hair to the side and get long side bangs. Also, get layers at the bottom of your hair that are barely seen. These are the colors that she wears the most often. Avril usually wears denim and black t-shirts with punk skulls on them. They are easy to find and are a great accessory with Avril's look. Toms are okay too as long as they are black or white or hot pink. Avril wears a lot of bold jewelry, and remember, to save money, the jewelry doesn't have to be real silver, it can be silver-colored. Also, consider wearing hot pink & black chunky bracelets to show some attitude.

If your hand wart doesn't go away naturally or after trying the above-mentioned home remedies, then make an appointment with your family doctor — especially if the wart is painful or located in a very inconvenient spot. Your doctor will examine your hand and make sure it's just a wart and not some other kind of skin condition. Skin problems that can mimic warts include: corns, calluses, moles, ingrown hairs, pimples, boils, seborrheic keratosis, lichen planus and squamous cell carcinoma. To make sure it's not something serious, such as skin cancer, your doctor can take a tissue sample (biopsy) of it and examine it under a microscope.  If it's not a wart on your hand, your family doctor will likely refer you to a skin specialist (dermatologist) for treatment. If it is a regular wart, you doctor will likely use a form of cryotherapy (stronger than the OTC products). The doctor may have to numb the your hand before applying the liquid nitrogen. Cryotherapy, when done by your doctor, should leave no skin scars. Healthy skin grows and fills in the hole left by the destroyed wart. If you or your doctor are not keen on cryotherapy, then ask about prescription topical medications — they're usually just stronger varieties of OTC creams and ointments. For example, prescription salicylic acid solution is 27.5% concentrated or higher (compared to 17% or less in OTC varieties), which makes it more effective, but also more dangerous to handle. Another common topical prescription medication applied to warts (especially plantar warts on feet) is cantharidin, a compound made from blister beetles. Cantharidin is a strong blistering agent that burns warts off. It's often used in combination with salicylic acid.  Research confirms that salicylic acid is more effective when its combined with cryotherapy.  Prescription salicylic acid products are sometimes given to patients to take home, but there's a much higher risk of skin irritation and scarring. Cantharidin, on the other hand, is poisonous if swallowed and not typically given...

If your ingrown hair scars are severe or if they do not respond to treatment, then you should make an appointment to see a dermatologist. A dermatologist can examine your ingrown hair scars and determine the best treatment options for you. If your ingrown hair scars do not respond to natural remedies and over-the-counter treatments, then you may want to look into laser filler treatments. A few treatment sessions with a fractionated laser can help to even out the surface of your skin and encourage collagen production, which will help fill in any pitted areas. Other types of laser and filler treatments include:   Ablative lasers. This type of laser treatment will flatten and smooth the surface of your skin.  Non-ablative lasers. This type of laser treatment will leave the surface of your skin as it is, but they will encourage collagen growth to help improve the appearance of your skin.  Filler injections. You can also get injections of collagen in conjunction with a laser treatment to help improve the appearance of scars, but you will need to repeat these injections every four to six months to maintain the results. Radix Arnebiae has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries to help reduce scarring.  Radix Arnebiae is also called Zi Cao and Lithospermum erythrorhizon and it is characterized as a heat and toxin releaser in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This herb may help to reduce the numbers and functions of scar-forming cells. You will need to find a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to get this herb.

If your job requires you to be on your feet all day, break up the time you stand still by walking around the office or taking a walk at lunch. Since spider veins are caused by poor blood flow and circulation, it's important to avoid positions that impede circulation and use positions that aid it.  Avoid crossing your legs when you sit at home or work. Crossing your legs for long periods interrupts the blood flow from your heart to your legs, which can cause vein walls to weaken and spider veins to appear. Elevate your feet using a footstool when you're sitting down. Raise your feet to 6 to 12 inches (15-30 cm) above the level of your heart, which will improve circulation and help regulate the blood flow in your veins. It also reduces swelling in your ankles and calves, which will reduce the risk of spider veins. Avoid wearing high-heeled shoes, especially if your job requires you to sit or stand for long periods. High heels put extra pressure on your legs and can restrict the flow of blood from your heart to your legs, causing the limited circulation that can cause spider veins to appear. Wearing compression hose is one of the best ways to prevent and remove spider veins. Wear low-grade compression hose, available at most drug stores or health stores, to prevent spider veins. Compression hose stimulate your blood vessels and improve circulation, making your legs less swollen and achy and preventing the poor circulation that often causes spider veins. It's important to use sunscreen to protect the fragile skin on your face, but sunscreen can also help prevent spider veins from appearing on your legs, calves and ankles as you get older. Make sure you protect yourself from the sun every time you spend more than a few minutes outside.

If your letter or card is very large, you may need to go to a craft store to find the right size of paper. For example, if your card is 8.5 x 11 inches, then you will need at least a 12 x 12 inch piece of paper. For a small 4 x 5 inch card, a 7 x 7 inch piece of paper will work. The corners should face up and down, and right and left, like a diamond.

If your loss of taste is caused by a cold, flu, or seasonal allergies, you can try over-the-counter medicines to unblock your congested nasal passages. This will help your sense of smell, and related sense of taste, return more quickly. Decongestants come in pills, liquid form, and nasal sprays. Some over-the-counter decongestants containing pseudoephedrine are found behind the pharmacy counter, though you don't need a prescription for them. Some conditions, such as bacterial sinusitis, and infections of the throat and salivary glands, can lead to an impaired sense of taste. Consult your doctor and after a proper diagnosis, take prescription antibiotics to treat these conditions and help your sense of taste return. There is debate in the medical community about whether you need to complete a course of antibiotics or stop when your symptoms improve. Without a clear consensus yet, consult your doctor on how long you need to take your medicine and whether to continue after your symptoms have cleared up. An otolaryngologist, more commonly known as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor, is a specialist in problems related to the ears, nose, throat, mouth, and larynx. If you experience loss of taste that isn’t attributable to a cold or to ageing, you should ask your doctor for a referral to this specialist, who can diagnose the extent of your taste loss and help you find a treatment for the underlying condition.  The otolaryngologist will examine your ears, nose, throat, and mouth and perform a taste test to determine the lowest concentration of taste quality that you’re able to detect. You might be asked to compare the taste of different chemical concentrations by sipping them and then spitting them out, or chemicals may be applied directly to the surface of your tongue.  Certain disorders, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and Bell’s palsy, can cause impaired sense of taste, so it is important to get examined by a doctor if you’re experiencing a prolonged loss of taste. Sometimes loss of...

If your mother says no or does not pick up on your hints, then try new strategies.  List the reasons that you want to shave your legs, and plan out a way to present these reasons to your mom.  Separate your reasons in a numbered list.  For example, your first reason might be that you feel uncomfortable in social situations.  Your second might be that you enjoy the feeling of smooth legs.  Your third might be that you feel like you are responsible enough and old enough to start shaving. After making a numbered list of all the reasons you want to start shaving, you should write some sentences so that you don't feel unprepared when the time comes. For example, you might want to write, "My friends have noticed that I still have hairy legs and it is making me feel uncomfortable. Being able to shave would allow me to fit in more and feel more comfortable with my body.” Make sure you will have plenty of time to have a full discussion. A long car ride, doing the dishes together, or during down time on the weekend are all good times to have a conversation. Don't start a conversation when one of you is busy or about to leave.  Start the conversation by saying, “Mom, I wanted to ask you something, and I want you to listen to all of what I say before responding”.  This will leave room for you to have a calm conversation. This is where planning your argument will come in handy. List your reasons in a calm and collected way. Use the list that you made in the planning stage. You can say, “There are a few reasons that I want to shave my legs.  The first is that it is making me self-conscious to have hairy legs.  The second is that my friends are noticing that I have a lot of leg hair. The third is that I think that I am old enough and responsible enough to start shaving.”

If your old photograph has dirt, sand, or residue on it, you may be able to clean the image by hand. Wear rubber gloves, and gently remove the dirt with a soft brush or soft-bristled toothbrush. If there is a large amount of dirt, the photograph can be gently rinsed under lukewarm running water. Use your finger to softly wipe away dirt, but take care not scratch the photo. Let the photograph dry in a dark place where it will not be disturbed. You can clip the image on a wire with a clothespin to dry, or you can place the image face-up on a newspaper or towel. If the photo turns red, yellow, or white while cleaning, this could be an indication that professional care is needed. The image may be too badly damaged to fix at home. If you find a stack of photographs that have stuck together, do not pull them apart. Instead, soak them in distilled water. Photographs are coated with gelatin. When they are placed in water, the gelatin softens and the photographs can be separated more easily. Purchase a bottle of distilled water from your local grocery store or pharmacy. Keep the water at room temperature, and pour it into a container that is large enough to submerge your photos. Place them with the image facing upward and let them soak in the water for 20 to 30 minutes. Use your fingers to gently slide the photographs apart, or use a rubber spatula to separate the images. Let them dry on a towel image-side up. Place a book or magazine along the edges so they do not curl as they dry. Before trying to remove the glass, be sure you make a copy of the image. You can remove the glass by heating up the image. Hold a hair dryer 4 to 5 inches away from the back of a print. After a few minutes, try to lift up one of the corners of the image, and slowly peel back the image. You can secure a tear or fix a torn photograph by using an acid-free tape. Regular tape with an acidic adhesive can damage the photograph over time. Look for an archival tape or tape with an acrylic adhesive at an office supply or stationary store to repair...

TL;DR in Russian:

Очистите фотографии. Разделите склеившиеся фотографии с помощью воды. Отделите фото от стекла с помощью теплового воздействия. Зафиксируйте надрывы клейкой лентой, которая не содержит кислоты.

If your opponent gets a piece to your back row, then it will be crowned and more difficult to capture. Keeping a full back row is the best way to keep your opponent from crowning his pieces. It will also make it easier for you to capture any opposing pieces that approach your back row. Watch an expert checkers player, either in person or on television. You'll pick up a lot of pointers just by watching an expert maneuver his pieces around the board. Pay attention to what the expert does in certain situations. Try reading about checkers strategies online or in books as well. Some checkers experts have written about their strategies and reading about them may help you to improve your game.

TL;DR in Russian:

Старайтесь как можно дольше держать свои шашки в позициях на последнем ряду. Наблюдайте за игрой мастеров.


If your pain is severe or lasts for more than a few days, schedule an appointment with a dentist right away. You may have tooth decay, a loose filling, or a cracked tooth, all of which need to be addressed by a dentist.  If your pain is only occasional and not confined to a single spot, you probably have nothing to worry about, but you should still see your dentist regularly for cleanings.  The sooner you see a dentist, the less likely your problem is to become more serious, so don't put it off. If several of your teeth suddenly begin to ache, it may be caused by teeth grinding, which people often do in their sleep. Wearing a night guard to bed will prevent you from grinding your teeth, which should make the pain go away. If you are experiencing more stress in your life that you are used to, you may suddenly begin grinding your teeth. Intense sinus congestion can sometimes cause pain that is easy to confuse with a toothache because it compresses nerves that are very close to the roots of your upper teeth. If your teeth have only started hurting since you have been congested, consider taking an over-the-counter remedy to relieve your congestion. You may just find that your tooth pain goes away as well. If your congestion is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms, see a doctor. If your teeth just suddenly started causing you pain, it may be due to a change in your eating habits. If you have added any new acidic foods into your diet (like citrus fruits, coffee, or tomato sauce), you may want to cut back on them. Acidic foods are known to break down tooth enamel, which can lead to pain and a variety of dental problems. If you don't want to give up acidic foods, try to rinse your mouth out with water after you eat them. This will help prevent the acid from sticking around on your teeth after you've finished eating.

TL;DR in Russian:

В случае постоянной боли обратитесь к стоматологу. Попробуйте поносить ночную капу. Разберитесь с заложенностью носа. Подумайте о недавних изменениях в своем рационе.


If your pain is worsened when you move your neck or upper back, cervical spondylosis may be to blame. This is one of the most common causes of left arm pain. More than 90% of people older than 65 have evidence of cervical spondylosis. This is a general term for age-related tears affecting the disks in your spine (particularly in your neck area). As the disks dehydrate and shrink, cervical spondylosis develops. It tends to worsen with age as the back wears out.   Moving your neck and upper spine can determine the cause of the pain. When movement increases your pain, this is probably related to cervical spondylosis. Heart attack pain is not lessened or worsened by movement or applying pressure on the spine or neck. If movement or pressure aggravates the pain and you are without other symptoms, it is most likely cervical spondylosis. However, this is still a serious condition that you should report to your doctor. If the pain flares up in your arm when you move your shoulder, it could actually be shoulder arthritis. Many patients that come into the emergency department with the fear that they're having a heart attack are actually suffering from this condition. This is a disease that destroys the smooth outer covering (cartilage) of the bone. As the cartilage disappears, the protective space decreases between the bones. During movement, the bones rub against each other, causing shoulder pain and/or pain in the left arm. Although no definitive cure exists for arthritis of the shoulder, many treatment options are available to relieve the pain. If this describes you, don't worry. It sounds serious, but the progression can be stopped. If you lose the function in your arm, it's most likely to be a nerve-related injury. The arm nerves arise at the spinal cord level in the lower neck and form a nerve bundle, called the brachial plexus. This bundle splits, giving rise to the nerves of the arm. Arm nerve damage from the shoulder to the hand causes varying pain, but usually this is associated with a loss in arm function...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте, не связана ли боль в руке с движением шеи. Проверьте, не связана ли боль с движением плеча. Подумайте, не связана ли боль в руке с повреждением нерва. Проверьте кровяное давление и пульс. Подумайте о наличии других заболеваний, которые могут вызывать боль в руке.


If your phone is in a protective case, you'll need to remove the case in order to get the SIM card out. Depending on the type of phone you have, the SIM card will be located in different spots:  Check for a SIM tray. Many modern smartphones have SIM trays along one of the sides. These are opened by inserting a SIM removal tool or a straightened paperclip into the small hole on the side of the tray. Check behind the battery. If your phone's battery is removable, the SIM is typically inserted behind it. Once you've located the SIM card, remove it from your phone.  For SIM trays, pop the tray out with the tool or paperclip and then pull it all the way out of the phone. You can then remove the SIM card from the tray. If the SIM card is behind your battery, you can either slide it out or press it in a little to pop it out, depending on your phone. Reverse the removal process above to put the SIM into the new phone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вытащите старый телефон из чехла. Найдите SIM-карту. Извлеките SIM-карту. Вставьте SIM-карту в новый телефон.


If your primary goal is to edit the Word document, you can copy the Word document's text and paste it into a new Word document and then save the new document onto your computer. While doing this won't remove the read-only protection from the original document, it will create an editable copy. Double-click the Word document to do so. This will place your mouse cursor on the document's page. Press either Ctrl+A (Windows) or ⌘ Command+A (Mac) to do so. You should see the entire document become highlighted. Press either Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘ Command+C (Mac). This will copy the document's text to your computer's clipboard. Click File in the upper-left side of the Word window, click New on the left side of the window, and click Blank document to open a blank Word document. On a Mac, click the File menu item, then click New Blank Document at the top of the drop-down menu. Press either Ctrl+V (Windows) or ⌘ Command+V (Mac) to paste the locked Word document's text into the blank document. This may take a few seconds if the original document was particularly large or contained images. Press Ctrl+S (Windows) or ⌘ Command+S (Mac), then enter your document's name and click Save. You'll be able to edit the document you just created like usual.

If your relationship has already ended and you’re questioning if your love is still there, make sure you remember what caused the breakup. It’s easy to look back and romanticize an old relationship, but don’t overlook reality. Sometimes people simply gave up too quickly without attempting to work out their problems. However, sometimes there are fundamental problems that just cannot be fixed.  If the relationship ended because someone made a mistake, it is important to determine if you can truly forgive and forget. You can’t create a future with someone if you are stuck in the issues of the past. Similarly, nothing will change about your relationship of no one has changed. If you broke up with your partner because you didn't trust them, either they need to have become trustworthy or you need to have become trusting. Past issues don't just disappear. Try to determine how your overall quality of life changes when you are with them and without them. If they become your #1 priority and your work performance, family relationships, and self-care all fall to the wayside, it may not be a healthy relationship. However, if you truly feel like a better person when you’re with them, that’s something you don’t want to slip away. Write it all down so you can truly see if the positives outweigh the negatives. Don’t hold back! Are you debating going back to this person because you are lonely? Loneliness, though painful and debilitating, is not a reason to be with someone. Jealousy is another powerful emotion that can make you start pining for an ex, but don't fight for them back just because you don't want to see them with someone else. That is not the foundation of a healthy and long-lasting relationship. If you can say with certainty loneliness, jealousy, boredom, or any other superficial emotion isn't the reason you're considering rekindling your romance, you may still love this person.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вспомните, почему вы решили закончить прошлые отношения. Составьте список плюсов и минусов того, что вы встречаетесь с этим человеком. Будьте честны с собой относительно своих целей.


If your screen is scratched to the point where it impairs the visual presentation--but the actual LCD display is unharmed--then purchasing a new screen cover is practical. If the LCD display has been damaged (parts of the screen are black or rainbow-colored), however, your item is likely beyond repair and you will need to purchase a TV/phone/computer. You can usually find the specific model number on the back of a TV or phone, or the bottom of a laptop. You'll need this number to make sure you purchase the correct type of screen. Make sure you have your manufacturer's name as well (e.g., Sony or Toshiba).  Higher price doesn't always correlate with higher quality, so look through your results carefully before deciding on a screen replacement. For a more focused search, go to Amazon or eBay and type the same thing in. You may find that you're better off buying a new item anyway--if the combination of their services and the screen's price ends up being as much as a new TV, for example, you should consider just purchasing the new TV.  Most tech departments (e.g., Best Buy) will replace your screen for you, though they often charge a considerable fee--another reason to purchase a mid-range screen replacement rather than the most expensive one. Replacing your own screen cover is not recommended. Your screen should now be safe from future scratches!

TL;DR in Russian:

Отдайте устройство для замены экрана профессионалам. После установки экрана приобретите защитную пленку для него.


If your shoes have a lot of dirt, grass, or mud on them, brush off as much of it as possible with an old rag. There is no need to scrub. Simply wipe them down to get the worst of the dirt off. You can also bang the shoes together over a trash can to dislodge a bit more of the dirt. Start by getting a small cup and filling it with water. Add 1 spoonful of dish soap. Dip the toothbrush into the solution. Scrub the soles of the shoes with the toothbrush. Make sure to apply a lot of force. The harder you scrub, the more dirt you’ll be able to get off. You need to get rid of any soap residue. To do this, hold your shoes over a bathtub or sink and rinse the soles of the shoes with water. If your shoes have laces, you should put them in the washing machine separately. There can be a lot of dirt collected in the shoelaces and around the eyelets, so removing them will help the washing machine get in there and clean them.

Сотрите грязь с поверхности кроссовок влажной тряпкой. Промойте подошвы теплой мыльной водой с помощью зубной щетки. Сполосните кроссовки. Выньте из кроссовок стельки и шнурки.


If your symptoms are minor, or if they tend to disappear quickly (some women experience pain for only a few minutes), you probably don’t need to do anything at all. Basic pain relievers like ibuprofen, naproxen, and acetaminophen should help relieve your symptoms. Follow the instructions on the label, and do not exceed the recommended dosage.  Note that different women find different over-the-counter pain medications to be more effective than others, and this varies from woman to woman. If you find that one does not work particularly well, do not hesitate to try another, as you may find greater success in trying another type of medication. Anti-inflammatory pain medications (such as ibuprofen and/or naproxen) are known to be troublesome for people who have been diagnosed with kidney or stomach problems. If you fall into either of these categories, consult your doctor prior to use. Or, if you notice symptoms of upset stomach after starting the medication, consult your physician for further advice. Some women report that a heating pad alleviates their symptoms. Apply the heating pad to the lower abdomen, and repeat as necessary.  The reason heat works so well is that it enhances blood flow to the area of pain, relaxes muscles, and eases cramps.   Some women also report that a cold pack or cold compress can help to alleviate ovarian pain associated with ovulation, so you can try both heat and cold and see what works best for you. A warm or hot bath may work like a heating pad does to relax you and relieve your symptoms. If your symptoms are very bothersome, you can try hormonal contraceptive pills. Prescription birth control pills prevent pregnancy, in part, by stopping ovulation. If you begin taking hormonal birth control pills, you will no longer ovulate, and your painful ovulation will therefore disappear.  Note that birth control pills are the only effective way to prevent ovulatory pain, as they halt ovulation altogether (by suppressing your natural hormones and therefore preventing ovulation). Birth...

If your teacher’s behavior frightens you or makes it hard for you to learn, consider getting a parent involved. Examples of behavior that might warrant parental intervention:  Yelling frequently, belittling students, or deliberately humiliating students. Being very disorganized. This might include losing assignments or failing to enter grades. If the teacher can’t teach in a way that allows you to learn. Handing out work without teaching material. Come prepared with specific examples. Rather than saying, “My teacher is scary,” for example, say: “Last Thursday, my teacher got so mad he hit all of our desks with a ruler and shouted at us for ten minutes. I was really scared.” It might be a good idea for your parent to e-mail or write to your teacher. That way, she has documentation of their interactions in case she needs to go to the principal or other authority later on. The e-mail can include a request for an in-person or telephone conversation, and it should include a telephone number. Read the e-mail over before your parent sends it, if possible, to make sure that your parent has understood the issues. Your parent should note when he made the call. If the teacher doesn’t respond, the issues are not resolved, or the situation worsens, it’s time to talk to someone above the teacher.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определитесь, нужно ли привлекать родителей. Обсудите проблему с родителями. Попросите родителей поговорить с учителем. Если учитель не отвечает, то попробуйте позвонить. Определите, когда следует обращаться к директору или в другие инстанции.


If your uncle loves to bring up politics but you’d rather not discuss it, don’t engage the conversation. Make an effort not to bring up politics when in this family setting. Even if your uncle brings it up and tries to egg you on, it’s up to you how you respond. This goes for competing sports teams, universities, or cousin rivalries. Say, “We can agree to disagree and leave it at that” or “I’d really rather not get into that here and I’d prefer to have a great family gathering without this argument again.” Your cousin may say something really offensive that you immediately want to fire back on or correct, but take a breath and decide whether it’s worth engaging or not. If your grandfather says something offensive, ask yourself whether your comment will alter his perception or if it will spark a debate. Sometimes you have to grit your teeth and say, “You’re entitled to your opinion" and move on. Live and let live. If you can’t stand your relative due to a conflict, see if you can resolve the conflict between you and your relative. You may need to find time to sit down, be honest with each other, and clear the air. When approaching your relative, be kind, compassionate, and non-defensive.  The sooner you resolve conflicts, the less resentment will build up. Be willing to forgive. You don’t have to ignore the situation or pretend it didn’t happen, but learn to forgive so that you can release the hurt in pain from within yourself. If you have a relative that seems to want things from you (money, free labor, a place to stay, etc.), don’t be afraid to say no. Remember that you have the right to say “no”. If you want to consider things before you immediately say “yes”, you also have the right to wait and think things over before you agree to anything. You don’t have to justify your response or give an excuse. Just say, “I’m sorry, I’m unable to do that.” You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Perhaps your difficulties arise because of certain passive aggressive remarks from your relative comparing you to other...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не участвуйте в повторяющихся ожесточенных спорах. Решите, как вы будете реагировать на обидные высказывания. Разрешайте конфликты. Научитесь отказывать. Научитесь распознавать пассивно-агрессивные манипуляции. Установите границы. Научитесь правильно вести себя в сложных ситуациях.


If your video plays on the iPod but you have no sound, that means your sound is muted or in an incompatible format.  When files are muxed, they contain interleaved audio and video tracks, which are mixed together instead of being stored as separate tracks.  Here's how to figure it out.  Open the original movie file in QuickTime Player. From the Window menu, chose Show Movie Info. Click the More Info disclosure triangle in the Movie Info window (if it's closed). Note the entry next to "Format." If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," the audio portion of your video file is incompatible with your iPod and iTunes applications, and with anything else based on QuickTime. There is not fix for this other than to use a third party application to convert all of the file.

If your washing machine is not draining all the way after the cycle finishes, then this may be causing the mildew smell. Check your washing machine for defects to see if water is pooling somewhere. If so, then you may need to hire a professional to fix your machine or you may need to replace it. If your towels smell like mildew, sometimes the washing machine could be a part of the problem. Since the gasket is the rubber seal inside the washer that prevents water from leaking out when a load is washing, cleaning the gasket is very important to eliminating mildew smells coming from the washer. Wipe down the gasket with a rag dunked in soapy water, or sprayed with a mild mildew cleanser. You could also use a cleaning solution of 50% water 50% bleach.  Consider using an old toothbrush to get hard to reach places of the gasket. Make sure to get all areas of the gasket. You may need to pull back sections of the gasket to get into small rubber folds. Take out the detergent dispensers from the machine and scrub them with a soapy water mixture consisting of a small amount of dishwashing soap, and water. Leftover soap residue or stagnant water on the detergent dispensers can make this area of your wash machine smell bad too. If the dispensers cannot be removed from the machine, do your best to clean inside the dispensers with a rag or pipe cleaners. un a cleaning cycle. Make sure that your washing machine is empty and then run a wash cycle using the longest, hottest temperature setting. If the mildew smell remains, try running another cycle. It might take a few cycles to remove the mildew smell. Consider adding one of the following straight into the washing basin of the machine:  1 cup of bleach. 1 cup of baking soda. 1/2 cup of powdered enzymatic dishwasher detergent 1/2 cup of a commercial washer cleaner 1 cup of vinegar If none of these methods help with getting rid of the mildew smell, you may need to call a professional to come look at your washing machine. There may be mold growth behind the drum of the machine,...

If you’d like to make something out of your plastic, it needs to be done in the first hour while the curds are still moldable. You can use cookies cutters, molds, food coloring, glitter, or any other decorative materials you would like.  If you want to get really into it, you can use sculpting tools. Paint and markers can also be used once the plastic is completely dry. Before you begin, you will need to squeeze all of your curds together into a dough-like substance. Once it’s clumped into one blob, knead the dough well. Work it with your hands for a few minutes until it is easy to shape and form. Wait until the curds have cooled completely before handling them. Once the dough has been well kneaded, you can roll it out and cut shapes using cookie cutters. You can also press the dough into a mold to form a shape. Remove it from the mold and set it aside to dry. Alternatively, you can sculpt the dough as you would with clay or play dough into any form you’d like. You can add food coloring if you’d like all your shapes to be the same color and you don’t want to wait for them to dry and paint them later. Put on gloves, add some food coloring to the dough, and work it until the color is even throughout the dough. Gel food coloring works better than liquid. Roll the dough into round beads and poke a hole through the center using a straw. This will make beads that you can string into a necklace or bracelet. Add glitter while the beads are still wet and it will stick as it dries. Set the beads aside to dry. Check on them in a few days to make sure they are completely dry. The plastic will take a few days to dry out completely. If you don’t want to do anything else with the plastic, simply leave it alone for a few days until it is dry. If you have molded it into something, you’ll need to wait until it is dry to use it. Once it’s dry, you can paint it or decorate it however you would like. Using craft paint or permanent markers, color your creations however you’d like. You have to wait until the plastic is completely...

If you’d like to try to control your DHEA levels using diet and exercise, then make an appointment to talk over your ideas with your primary care physician. They may be able to give you some extra tips or advice as to what works and what doesn’t. They can also start to track your DHEA levels right away, so you’ll know how to modify your lifestyle changes. Just to be clear, foods do not contain DHEA directly. But, eating particular foods can encourage your body to produce more or less DHEA and other hormones. If you are trying to lower your levels, avoid foods that will elevate your DHEA, such as wild yams, sugars, wheat, and dairy products. Instead, follow a diet that emphasizes foods with anti-inflammatory properties, like tomatoes, olive oil, and salmon. Going to work out at least three times a week is a great way to keep your DHEA levels under control. Include cardio and weight sessions to see the most benefits. Working out will help you to build muscle and shed fat. Keep in mind that exercising too much may raise your DHEA levels, so it is important to avoid overdoing it. Look at the Body Mass Index (BMI) for a general guide as to where your weight should be as related to your height and age. When your body carries extra weight the fat cells store DHEA. Your body also produces excess estrogen, DHEA, and other hormones. To better control your hormones, aim to get eight hours of sleep per night. Come up with a sleep schedule that works for you and stick with it. Your body is very sensitive to stress and may respond by producing excess hormones, such as DHEA. To keep your DHEA under control, find some ways to unwind in your daily life. Take up yoga, which you can do both at work and at home. Practice deep breathing techniques. Eat at least one meal outside each day to enjoy the fresh air. Go see a movie or a take a painting class with friends. You can also ask your doctor to monitor your blood pressure levels alongside your DHEA results. If you engage in stress-relieving activities, you might see...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you’re asking someone to set you up, make sure that the person knows you well and, perhaps more importantly, knows what you want in a partner. Your close friends might have the same social circles as you and might not be able to set you up with anyone new. Don’t be afraid to ask people you don’t know as well, such as friends of friends, to set you up. Pick someone who you think would have fun, interesting friends. You will need to communicate with your date beforehand to talk about logistics. If the person setting you up insists on coordinating logistics, ask to at least chat with the person on the phone for a few minutes with the matchmaker there. Ask your date a few basic questions, such as where they are from or what they like to do on the weekends. That way, when you talk to the person on your date, you’ll have one small conversation to reference. Choose a start time that you can make with plenty of leeway. Choose an end time that leaves time for lingering if you want to keep talking with your date. Keep it short. If you like your date, you can always see them again. A bad date that’s too long is worse than a good date that’s too short! Restaurants, bars, parks, movie theaters, and mini golf venues are all good examples. Let a friend know what time you’re leaving and when you’ll be back. Check in with her at the end of your date so that she knows you’re safe. When deciding what to do, pick something that is easy and stimulates conversation. Feel free to abandon the “dinner and drinks” mold. Here are some ideas that are more interesting than dinner (but also pair well with dinner, if you are hungry!):  Hiking Mini golf and ice cream Aquarium Jazz club Karaoke bar Canoeing or kayaking Cooking class Dance class

TL;DR in Russian:

Разумно подходите к выбору «свахи». Заранее пообщайтесь по телефону с человеком, с которым планируете пойти на свидание. Установите конкретное время начала и окончания свидания. Выберите общественное место для свидания. Выберите непринужденное, но увлекательное занятие.


If you’re going to be sensitive to other people’s feelings, the best place to start is to become aware of your own. If you’re unaware of how you’re feeling during a heated or sensitive conversation, you’re less likely to be able to respond sensitively to others.  Learning to recognize the signs of fear, anger, anxiety, and sadness in yourself will help you more easily empathize with others’ feelings. Pay attention to concrete signs of your own feelings. For example, notice if your palms start to get sweaty, or if you start to shake. Does your stomach start to ache as your anxiety increases? Does your breath become shallow? When you notice signs of strong emotion, you’ll need to know ways to manage your feelings so that they don’t overwhelm you. Whether you cope with your feelings by taking deep breaths, talking to a therapist or a trusted friend, or a combination of approaches, the most important thing is that you allow yourself to acknowledge your feelings in a healthy way.  It can help to remind yourself that strong feelings aren’t wrong or bad. If you’re feeling guilty for having strong feelings, this will only compound your stress. Having a regular exercise routine will help you cope with strong emotions as well. If you start to feel overwhelmed, it’s okay to take a break. Your ability to be sensitive to another person’s feelings will diminish if you’re not able to take care of your own feelings.  If there are people or topics that you can’t avoid, make sure to allow yourself time and space to recover afterward. Realizing that sometimes topics are hard for you because you need to pay attention to them might help you put your own feelings in perspective. Take a calming walk, spend time playing with your dog, or just take time to sit by yourself breathing deeply.

TL;DR in Russian:

Осознайте свои собственные чувства. Изучите приемы самоуспокоения. Защитите себя.


If you’re having trouble talking to your parents about your interracial relationship, or anticipate problems when doing so, let your partner know.  If they’ve experienced a similar situation, they might even be able to offer advice.  For instance, say, “I’m worried about what my parents will think of us,” or “I wonder if my mom and dad will be upset we’re dating.” Let your partner know that no matter what your parents think, you will still love them and don’t care what their race is.  Say, “I won’t let my parents’ opinions affect how I feel for you.” Don’t let yourself be dissuaded from sharing your situation by the thought that your partner will feel you’re blaming them for your familial problems.  Since your partner loves and respects you, they will appreciate your being open and honest with them, even about this difficult issue. Your parents might not be the only ones who are uncomfortable with your interracial relationship.  If you have friends who also had questions or concerns about your interracial relationship, think about how you broached the subject with them.  Did you wait for them to bring it up?  Did you ask them directly what they thought?  You could also use your friends’ experiences or the experience of your partner to think about how to approach the topic with your own parents. Talk with them about how they dealt with their parents’ concerns, if there were any.  For instance, ask your friends, “Did you have trouble telling your parents about your interracial relationship?” You can also consider what you already know about your parents' views on race and reasons why they might be against interracial relationships. For example, perhaps your parents have a friend who was in a dysfunctional relationship and their partner happened to be a different race. They might be basing their ideas on this friend's experiences. Sometimes people detect discomfort from others because they are themselves uncomfortable or feel out-of-place in an interracial relationship.  Talk to a trusted friend, family member,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поделитесь переживаниями с партнером. Проанализируйте свой предыдущий опыт, чтобы выбрать правильный подход для разговора с родителями. Оцените свои чувства.


If you’re in a relationship, communication is a key part of cultivating a healthy sex life. Getting thoughts out in the open is also a good way to keep them from growing or festering in your head, and it can improve your sex life instead.  If you're sexually active, communicate with your partner to maintain a healthy and open sexual relationship that keeps you both fulfilled. Communication doesn’t have to be just verbal, either. You can write your partner notes. As a couple, you could also read a book together or watch a film that shows or articulates your thoughts. And if you’re reluctant to communicate with your partner about sex, remember that communication itself is a turn on.  If you’re not sexually active, it’s equally important to communicate. If you're thinking about sex more than you'd like to even though you're not sexually active, is it because there's something lacking or frustrating about your sex life? Talk to your partner openly and truthfully. You also want to make sure your expectations are aligned with your partners. You should know if and when, for example, your partner wants to begin having sex, and he should know when you want to have sex as well. If you are in a relationship, use your sexual drive to act in a loving and caring manner toward your partner. Be romantic instead of strictly sexual, per se. That way, you can build the emotional intimacy you share with each other. With masturbation, there's nothing to feel guilty about, especially if it helps keep your sexual thoughts and urges in check. Abstaining might even worsen your urges. If you're constantly thinking about finding a sexual partner, you can date regularly yet keep yourself partially sexually satisfied through masturbation. This can help free your mind to focus on more important things. Just make sure masturbation doesn't turn into a new addiction, however. Any topic that you think about too much or obsess over can seem all-consuming, and while sex is important and seems omnipresent, life is not entirely reduced to sex and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Разговаривайте со своим партнером. Старайтесь, чтобы ваши мысли о сексе носили романтичный характер. Развивайте здоровое отношение к мастурбации. Помните о том, что не все в этом мире вращается исключительно вокруг секса.


If you’re independent and you aren’t used to someone else controlling the relationship, make sure that he feels like he’s in control. You can do this by reaffirming things that you agree with, so he feels like he is the one making the final decisions even if he’s not.   Don’t change who you are as a person. If you really don’t want to do something and your guy is forcing you, have a conversation with him or leave the relationship. Many Taurus men will want to have control over the finances in a serious relationship. Your guy’s incredible loyalty only exists if it’s reciprocated. Don’t date outside of the relationship, and restrict yourself from making accounts on dating websites.   Jealousy may come into play when dating a Taurus, so be sure to consistently let him know how awesome he is. Infidelity could ruin your relationship with your guy for good. This will affirm how much you need him in your life and will draw him closer to you. Taurus men like to be relied on, and the more you communicate with him over text, the more you are showing him how important he is in your life.  Like all people, things are best done in moderation. He might like texting more than the average guy, but everyone has a limit. Even though Taurus men don’t talk about their emotions, they think about them constantly. He will internalize a lot of the stuff you say to him, so if you tell him how important he is, it will make it clear that he has an impact and is a major part of your life.  He will like giving gifts but not receiving them. Instead of a material gesture, do something sentimental and from the heart like taking him on a date to where you first met. You don't want your Taurus guy to make any assumptions. Make sure to make your emotions clear to him. Taurus men are usually more conservative, and they must have stability. If you always start arguments or like to go out and party constantly, you won’t be compatible with him. Taurus men are practical and rational. If you find yourself in an argument, don’t get overly emotional....

TL;DR in Russian:

Заставьте его почувствовать, что он все контролирует. Оставайтесь верны ему. Переписывайтесь с ним в течение дня. Скажите и покажите ему, насколько он важен для вас. Не устраивайте драму и не будьте переменчивы.


If you’re into bohemian style, patchwork curtains could be a unique addition to your home. First, measure the dimensions of your existing curtains. Then, cut many similarly-sized squares of fabric from your old clothes; the more variety of colors and patterns among your squares the better. Stitch the squares together along their edges into one cohesive piece of fabric, until you create the dimensions you measured at the outset. If you don’t have enough scraps to create a whole curtain, a valence for the top of the window can add some rustic charm. Old T-shirts, particularly soft ones, make great pillowcases. Cut off the arms of a T-shirt and the ridge around the neck. Sew the holes you’ve created shut, and turn the shirt inside out, so the seams are on the interior. You now have a soft new pillowcase. If you want the design on the front of the T-shirt on the outside of the pillowcase when you are finished, turn your shirt inside out before cutting. A rag rug is a durable, circular rug that incorporates many different fabrics and colors for a homespun look. They can be as small or large as you like, which makes them extremely versatile. Cut your clothes into long strips, approximately the size of the crochet hook you want to use. Then consult this guide for detailed stitching instruction. If you’ve been looking for a unifying décor piece for your home, select strips for your rag rug that incorporate the colors present in your room already. Your rug will highlight each of them and pull the room together. If you have a smaller dog, you can use the pillowcase method with a big T-shirt to create a slipcover for your dog’s bed. If your dog is bigger and one shirt won’t cover it, create two smaller pillowcases with the pillowcase method, then stitch them almost all the way together around the body opening (so end-to-end,) leaving a small hole. Use more old clothes to fill the pillow through the hole. Once stuffed, stitch it shut the remainder of the way to complete your brand new dog bed.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сшейте занавески. Сшейте наволочку для подушки. Свяжите напольный коврик из полосок старой ткани. Сшейте чехол для собачьей подстилки или же саму подстилку.


If you’re on the Facebook homepage, do the following:  Find the Shortcuts section in the left menu bar. Click on the name of your Page. If you don't see this option, you can click on “Pages” under the “Explore” section and select your page from there. In the top right corner of your page, you should see a settings button just to the left of help. You will now be on the general settings page. Messages will be the fifth option on the list. Make sure you're looking at the menu to the right of the main menu. You will see a checkbox next to Allow people to contact my Page privately by showing the Message button. Make sure this box is checked, or else you won’t be able to receive messages. This will take you back to the main part of your page. On the right side of your page, just below your cover image, you will see a bright blue box that says + Add a Button. This will allow you to create a button that users can click on to message you. Underneath Step 1, you will be presented with five options. Since you want to receive messages, click on the Contact you option. Facebook gives you five options for the text of the button you’re creating. All of them are good choices, but send message makes the most sense in this case. This will be the blue button in the bottom right corner of the window. This is the only option under step 2 for you to choose, but you still must click on it in order to add the button to your page. This is the blue button in the bottom right corner of the window. Once you finish this process, users will begin to see a large button prompting them to send you messages.

If you’re planning on wearing makeup to the party, bring some extra makeup in a small bag for touch-ups. Touch-ups can include fixing smeared mascara, applying powder, reapplying lipstick. Additionally, if you’re attending a pool party, consider bringing enough makeup to reapply everything after swimming. Common “touch up bags” include:  Makeup removal pads Powder and a powder brush Mascara Blotting papers (to remove excess skin oil) If you eat these foods, you risk ruining your shirt or dress for the rest of the night. Additionally, some foods may leave a faint stain on your teeth and lips. Combat these stains by brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth out with water. Stain-prone foods include:  Dark berries Coffee Dark wine Pasta sauce Most people find confidence attractive. The more relaxed you are, the more confident and you will look. If you’re having trouble relaxing at a party, try focusing on different things in your environment. This will draw your attention away from yourself and help you relax. For example:  Think about the color of the furniture. Examine the pictures on the walls. Force yourself to focus on a conversation.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите косметичку со всем самым необходимым. Избегайте продуктов, которые оставляют пятна. Расслабьтесь.


If you’re planning to leave your room, you need to keep track of where the creaky floorboards are. You can also look up methods to sneak around silently.   You can either memorize them or sketch a rough outline of the stairs or hallway on a piece of paper. Then mark the noisy spots on it as you find them throughout the day. You’ll probably get hungry or thirsty while staying up late, so during the day, sneak some bottles of water and snacks out of the kitchen and into your room. Hide them under the bed if there’s any chance your parents will go into your closet before the end of the day.  Choose energy drinks or caffeinated beverages if you’re worried about getting tired. Select quiet snacks like bread or fresh fruit instead of chips or cereal, which will be in loud, crinkly bags. If you’re staying up late to do homework, gather all your books, papers, and pencils together in your room so you don’t have to find them later. If you’re staying up for fun, hide some entertainment under your pillow: a book, your phone, or a handheld gaming device. Make sure any electronic devices are fully charged so that they last through the night. You’ll probably have to turn your bedroom light off at some point to pretend you’ve gone to sleep. If you plan to read a book or do any writing, track down a book light or flashlight and store this near your bed so you can read under the covers. If you have time in the late afternoon, take a quick nap. Grabbing an hour or so of sleep now will help you make it through the night later.

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте план своего дома или квартиры. Возьмите украдкой напитки и закуски в свою комнату. Возьмите необходимые книги и электронные устройства. Подготовьте источник света. Вздремните в конце дня.


If you’re smelling mold, then you likely have a high humidity level in your house. Treating the smell won’t be enough to keep your carpet smelling good because the mold spores will continue to thrive. Instead, change your habits to minimize humidity. Run a fan during showers, open a window to let shower or cooking steam out, and use a dehumidifier. If your carpet is wet, a wet-dry vacuum can help limit mold growth by removing the wetness that facilitates it. For mold smells, dilute your vinegar with water. Make sure that the water is warm rather than hot. Don’t warm your water on the stove. Coat the entire carpet in the room. The carpet should be damp enough to react to baking soda. While your carpet is still damp, sprinkle on your baking soda. The baking soda should react to the diluted vinegar. Depending on the size of your room and the quality of your sprayer, you may find it more convenient to work in small sections of your room. This may take several hours or overnight, depending on how much you applied and if you use fans to help the carpet dry. Dump the baking soda in your outside trash can. To prevent a return of the moldy-mildew smell, hasten the drying time. Depending on the weather, open a window as well to prevent the room from being stuffy. If you have water damage or mold, you may need the help of a professional. Mold is a serious issue that can quickly get expensive, so the earlier you get professional help the better it will be for your home.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите причины запаха плесени. Пользуйтесь пылесосом для влажной и сухой уборки, чтобы удалить излишки воды. Смешайте 1 стакан (240 миллилитров) белого уксуса с 2 стаканами (0,5 литра) теплой воды. Побрызгайте раствором на ковер. Посыпьте влажный ковер пищевой содой. Подождите, пока раствор уксуса, воды и соды высохнет. Соберите пылесосом оставшуюся пищевую соду. Включите вентилятор. Если запах плесени возник вновь, посоветуйтесь со специалистами.


If you’re texting or using social media sites, you cannot see their body language or hear their tone unless you are having a video call. But by reading responses and seeing how long it takes for the person to respond, you can gauge if the person doesn’t want to talk to you.  Look for a “read” indication on sites like Facebook, Instagram, or Whatsapp. If there is a long lapse between your text and the response, or if the person doesn’t respond at all, she likely doesn’t want to talk to you. You can never be completely sure what is going on, though. It might be that she is busy or forgot to answer your message. Notice if the person goes offline when you send them a message. It could be that she doesn't want to talk to you, but once again you can't really know what is going on. She might be busy. Check the person’s responses. If they are one word such as “yeah,” “sure,” or something along those lines, chances are they’re no longer interested in the conversation or don’t want to talk to you. The tone of voice someone uses when speaking to you can tell you a lot about how they are feeling. Noticing the tenor of the conversation can help you figure out if the person isn’t engaged and cue you to exit elegantly. Ask yourself the following questions about the tone:  Does she sound irritated when I say something? Does he seem tired, slow, or bored when he responds? Does she sound pleasant or excited about our interaction? Does it seem like she’s questioning everything I say? If you suspect a person doesn’t want to talk to you, figure out who is leading the conversation. This can also indicate if your conversation partner has checked out and you need to stop talking.  Notice if you hear your own voice considerably more than that of your chatting partner, which can be a sign she is no longer interested in the conversation. Hold back a bit to see if the person begins talking more. This can indicate that she wants to talk but you’re overwhelming her. Check to see if you are integrated into the conversation if there are...

TL;DR in Russian:

Читайте между строк. Прислушайтесь к тону голоса. Определите, кто задает тон беседе. Прислушивайтесь к ответам. Обращайте внимание на зрительный контакт. Обратите внимание на положение тела. Следите за языком тела.


If you’re using Windows, you should find it in the menu. If you have a Mac, it should be in the Applications folder. Groups appear in the column along the left side of the screen. This opens the group in the main panel. You can also search for a group by name using the search bar. It’s at the top of the group. It’s under the “Settings” header. If you’re modifying a supergroup, click Add Administrator instead. This adds their name to the top of the window. You can select more than one admin if you wish. If you’re modifying a supergroup, click the admin’s name, then select the permissions you wish to assign this user. The selected member is now a group admin.

If you’re wearing a hooded sweatshirt, lean forward a bit and pull on your hood. Your eyes will be shielded from both the sides and the front, making it a great, natural-looking way to get a bit of sleep. Look up your dress code rules or review the guidelines for that class to make sure you can wear your hood in class. If your teacher asks you to take your hood off, they’ll realize you’re asleep. Keeping your hands on your forehead will block your eyes so your teacher won’t see them. Your hands will also help you stay balanced so you don’t slip when you fall asleep. To throw your teacher off even more, open a textbook in front of you so that it looks like you’re reading. Rest your elbow on the desk and place your hand under your chin, on your forehead, or against your cheek. Hold a pencil in your other hand and put it on your notebook. Tilt your head down to take a quick nap. This trick makes it look like you’re about to take notes or are reading over what you’ve just written. Arrange your hair in front of your face before you walk into class so the teacher thinks it’s a new style. When you doze off, the teacher won’t be able to tell that your eyes are closed. This is a perfect trick if you’re growing out bangs. If you want to make sure the teacher can’t see your face, prop your textbook upright on your desk and sit so your face is hidden behind it. Try to maintain an upright posture so it looks like you’re reading. This strategy can look obvious, so only use it when the class has a lot going on and is a little louder, such as during group work or a lab activity. Your teacher will be distracted and won’t pay as much attention to your sleeping. Slide down in your chair, place your head down on your desk, or hold your head in your hands. The person in front of you will block the teacher’s view of your chair so you can safely take a snooze.  This is best when the person in front of you is noticeably taller and broader than you. Make sure that the class won’t be getting up and moving any time soon, such as for...

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте капюшон таким образом, чтобы скрыть лицо спереди и сбоку. Обопритесь лицом о ладони и смотрите вниз. Подоприте голову одной рукой, а второй возьмите карандаш. Прикройте лицо волосами. Поставьте книгу на парту таким образом, чтобы она закрывала ваше лицо. Сядьте за одноклассником, который крупнее вас и немного пригнитесь.


If you’ve given her a reason to distrust you, such as cheating on her, being shady with other girls, talking about her behind her back, or just doing something to make her think that your intentions are less than pure, then the most important thing you should do is to give her an apology that is genuine and sincere. Look her in the eyes, put away all distractions, and make it clear that you recognize that you’ve made a huge mistake and want to make it up to her.  Don’t make excuses for why you were disloyal or hurt her feelings. Instead, focus on how much you regret it and how there’s no way you’ll do it again. Saying, “I’m sorry you’re so upset” makes it sound like you’re blaming her. Instead, say, “I’m so sorry that I acted like a real jerk. I take full responsibility.” Of course, no one said it was easy to apologize, but if you really want to gain her trust, then this is far better than being in denial about doing something wrong. Whether you’ve made a mistake and want her to forgive you or you’re just with a girl who needs some time to put those walls down, if you really want to gain her trust, then you have to give her time to open up and to feel safe with you. If you get impatient because she’s not opening up enough or not warming up to you after a few weeks, then you may be on the way to spoiling a good thing. If you’re trying to win her trust back after cheating, then the ball is really in her court and it may take her much longer than a few weeks to feel like she can trust you again.  If you cheated on her, then you have no right to be mad that she’s taking “too much time” to feel close to you again. It’s all up to her now. If she just has trust issues or has been hurt by boyfriends in the past, then the best thing you can do is reassure her that you’re different. That said, if you lose patience with her, she may be scared off. Show her that she’s worth the wait. If you want to gain her trust, then you have to let her make some of the calls. Whether you want to get more intimate, have her meet your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы совершили ошибку, то искренне извинитесь перед ней. Будьте терпеливы. Не давите на ее. Не злоупотребляйте ее доверием. Будьте надежны. Не ставьте пароль на телефон. Будьте честны с ней.


If you’ve landed an interview, then the most important thing you can do in advance is to prepare as much as you can for your big day. You want to read up on the company, understand what the position truly entails, practice answering relevant interview questions for your field, and make sure you have plenty of specific examples to illustrate how you have the qualities your employers are looking for.  You’ll probably be asked about your biggest strengths. Make sure you’re prepared with specific examples of why you possess these strengths, and make sure that they are skills that your interviewers are looking for for the position.  You may be asked about your weaknesses or areas of improvement. Don’t say that your biggest weakness is that you work too hard; they’ve all heard that before. Instead, you should mention a weakness that isn’t that bad and which isn’t crucial to the position, and also mention steps you’re taking to improve that weakness.  You will likely be asked why you’re a good fit for the company. Make sure you understand the company’s mission and goals and talk about any relevant things about the company, such as the workplace culture, that make you a good fit for the team. Prepare to answer behavioral questions too, such as, “What would you do if a manager was out of line?” or “How would you control a classroom with several rowdy students?” The worst thing you can do is to roll in to an interview late; this shows that you really don’t care about the job. Aim to get there at least half an hour early, and then walk in to the building 5-10 minutes early. This shows that you have your act together without you being so early that your interviewers are annoyed or thrown off. Use this time to get yourself in a calm and positive state instead of reviewing your answers. Bring a copy of your resume and cover letter with you, along with any other relevant materials you may need to bring. This can help you answer your questions and can show that you’ve put thought into your interview. Obviously, dressing...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьтесь заранее. Придите на собеседование немного раньше назначенного времени. Одевайтесь как профессионал. Ясно излагайте свои мысли. Для того чтобы показать свою заинтересованность, задавайте вопросы. Будьте в курсе того, чего не следует делать.


Image that you're hanging a cloth ribbon on a clothesline above your head. Lift your fingers, drop your wrist, and slowly lower your wrist. Be sure to lower your wrist as far as it will go. Imagine that you are smoothing out the ribbon. Afterwards, slowly raise your hand again, as if you have a balloon attached to your wrist. Repeat the process from the beginning with your opposite arm about 5 to 100 times. This exercise begins with extending your fingers straight. Then, make a fist, and extend your fingers straight again. Do this repeatedly, but each time you make a fist, alternate between the 3 choices: a straight fist, full fist, and hook fist. For example, grab the pen or pencil and twist it between your fingers. You can also open and close your hand, and gently stretch your fingers by moving them away from each other and then back together again. Regularly exercising your writing hand is important to prevent cramps. A simple way to remember this first movement is pretending you're signaling a stop sign. Afterwards, use your left hand to gently pull your fingers toward you, bending your right hand back. Hold this position for around 15 seconds. Repeat this exercise with both hands. Your palm should be facing your chest, and your fingers straight downwards. Take your opposing hand and gently press your fingers toward you. Hold this position for around 15 seconds. You can also do this exercise with your palm facing away from you and your fingers pointed up. In this case, you still press your fingers toward you. A stress ball is an easy way to stretch your fingers and wrists, while also strengthening them. This can help with stamina and reduce the likelihood of experiencing pain from writing. Most big-box stores and popular online suppliers sell stress balls Make sure your palms are facing away from you when you stretch your arms out in the opposite direction. Then, while holding your arms outward, reach them toward the ceiling, keeping your shoulders lengthened in line with your back.  Hold this position...

Imitation is often the quickest way to learn the basics of something, and screaming is no exception. Try to find a singer who does not scream his or her entire vocals. Instead, when learning how to master this, try listening to a song where there's a scream within the song, but doesn't scream all the lyrics. As you practice your own scream, you can vary the style to suit your voice and image as desired. For now, however, focus simply on producing the basic sound and worry about tailoring it to your own tastes later on. Screaming will be much less harsh on your throat if you moisten your throat first. Something lukewarm or warm is preferably to something cold, since warm fluids can soothe the throat while cold fluids can cause the muscles to tighten and ultimately feel more sore.  Warm tea with honey is one of the best options, but you could also settle for lukewarm water or room temperature juice. Avoid cold drinks. Stay away from drinks containing caffeine or alcohol, since these will only dry out your throat more. Force out a lot of air as you whisper, but make sure that you can retain enough air to sustain the sound for 15 to 30 seconds.  Take a deep breathe through your nose before you begin to get as much air into your lungs as possible. The more air you start with, the longer you can sustain the sound. Breathe out from the diaphragm. The air should be forced up from the bottom of your lungs, and you should force it out in a controlled, steady stream instead of letting it loose all at once. Narrow your throat so that there is only a small gap for you to force air through. Apply more energy to your "ah" until you can eventually feel the sound between your throat and chest. Your throat should be as tightly closed together as it can be while still allowing air to flow through. If you take your time, it could take several weeks of consistent practice before you master this scream. You should still practice this slowly to avoid ruining your throat, though.  If your throat begins to hurt as you practice your...
