Straightening your hair works best on freshly washed or day-old hair. When washing your hair, tailor your shampoo and conditioning products to your hair type. For thick, frizzy hair, use a smoothing shampoo and conditioner. For thin, flat hair, use volumizing products. Once hair is washed, dry it gently with a microfiber towel, spray it with a heat-protectant product, and then blow-dry it with a hairdryer. This will help to pre-straighten your hair, so you will have less work to do with the straightening iron.  Dry the roots of your hair with the hairdryer first, then work through the lengths of your hair. Turn your head upside down while drying your hair to add more volume. Use a paddle brush to work through tangles and hold hair taut as you dry. Investing in a good heat protection spray which you apply every time you straighten is one of the best things you can do for your hair, without forgoing straightening altogether. The heat protection spray locks in moisture and prevents hair from becoming dry and frazzled. Apply the heat protection spray evenly over dry hair, holding the can about six inches away from your head.  Don't apply the heat protection spray to your roots, as this can cause them to look greasy. Heat protection sprays can be found at most drug stores and hair salons. It may be worth investing in a brand name product which will do a better job of protecting your hair. Try asking your hair stylist for recommendations. Most good quality hair straighteners give you the option to adjust the temperature of the irons. Using the right temperature for your hair will ensure you get the best results and will prevent you from doing unnecessary damage to your hair. The temperature your straightener should be set to will depend on your hair type:  Fine or damaged hair should use a temperature of between 200 and 300 °F (93-149 °C). Hair of average thickness which is in pretty good condition should use a temperature of between 300 and 350 °F (149-177 °C). Very thick or coarse, frizzy hair should use a...

Вымойте и высушите волосы. Нанесите термозащитный спрей. Установите температуру на утюжке подходящую вашему типу волос. Выпрямите следующий слой волос. Закрепите результат специальным средством.


Straw has a natural appeal for summer, and the sun hat is a classic design that adds whimsical charm to your outfit. Try the straw hat in bold colors, like yellow or pink, or go for something softer, like coral or turquoise. You can also wear them in darker staples, like navy or red. Bucket hats and newsboy caps are fitting looks for warm weather as long as the material and color are light. A khaki colored hat coordinates especially well with a white outfit to create a natural look. The combination of white and tan creates a leisurely appearance. A tan belt on a white outfit gives a pop of color while remaining neutral.  A tan belt strapped across a loose-fit blouse adds structure to your outfit. Try a tan belt with white pants and a white t-shirt. For a sleeker evening look, wear a skinny belt with a fitted white dress and tan shoes. White can be monotonous, but a bright red or blue belt can throw enough color into your ensemble to draw the eye. If tan is too neutral for you, add a belt that has a bit more color.  Choose a patent leather belt for chic flair. Pair a colorful belt with a long, flowing white maxi dress. Try a silk sash for a touch of daytime elegance. A silver or gold chain belt looks elegant enough for evening and creates a nice amount of visual interest against a plain white background. If you don't like chain belts, try a black belt with a large metallic buckle. Mix and match your metals for a chic look. You don't have to match gold with gold and silver with silver - have fun mixing it up as you accessorize. A leather jacket creates a tough, boyish look, while a sweater or wrap gives you a softer appearance. Black provides a crisp, stylish contrast to a white dress. Pairing black with your white dress can give you a sleek look for evening. If you want something a little more fun, wear a colorful blazer, jacket, sweater, or shrug with your white outfit. Go for something bold in fuchsia for an attention getting look, a soft pastel for a romantic summer day, or an earth-tone for a boho chic...

TL;DR in Russian:

Носите соломенную шляпу. Носите ремни коричневых оттенков. Разбавьте белый наряд широким ремнем или поясом ярких цветов. Разбавьте монотонность металлическим поясом. Носите черный жакет или свитер. Сочетайте ваше белое платье со смелым красочным блейзером. Как насчет денима? Оберните шею шарфом. Носите шарф в качестве головного убора. Не забудьте про солнцезащитные очки.


Strength is not just measured in physical prowess. Girls want a man who is supportive of their feelings, able to comfort them when they are feeling down, and provide a feeling of security.  Take care of yourself financially. Girls aren't just after money, but most would like to know that you could provide if you have to.  Be able to deal with situations that make her scared. Hold her during scary movies, and kill the creepy crawlies that get in the house. Help her move things that are heavy. You don't have to be a muscle man, but be able to help out when you're needed. Girls want to see a man who is willing to put himself on the line to defend what is right. This does not mean throwing punches and getting into physical altercations, but it is important to be willing to speak up if things aren’t going well.  Send food back if it isn’t what was ordered. Stop people from bullying or picking on others. Sign petitions and be active in making the community better. Being dependable is important to show that you can be counted on during hard times. If you are constantly procrastinating and telling a girl that you will do something later, she will wonder if you ever complete anything.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте сильным. Отстаивайте свою правоту. Держите свое слово.


Stress, particularly chronic stress,  can be one of your immune system's worst enemies.  Studies have consistently shown that there is a direct relationship between people who self-identify as stressed and reduced immunity/increased illness.  Meditate or do yoga to encourage a more peaceful outlook on life. When possible, address the source of the stress.  If there is an individual person or an aspect of your job that causes you great stress, try reducing your contact with the person or activity if possible. Try going to therapy if you feel like you need help addressing and dealing with deep-seated or long-term stress. People who feel happier and spend more time laughing and smiling have healthier immune systems. Finding a source of humor for yourself—and allowing yourself to have a sense of humor, even if you are a generally sensitive person—can help your emotional health and your immunity.  Find a funny TV show or movie that makes you laugh and relax. Watch online videos of animals or babies doing funny things. Find a comedian/comedienne who you particularly like and download podcasts of his/her standup routine. Read comic strips or humorous print materials. Spend more time with a friend who you find particularly funny. You could even tell her why you want to spend more time with her, which could make her proud of her sense of humor. Socializing can help boost your mental health and thus your immunity.   While this may seem like it is higher-risk because being around other people (and their germs) exposes you to potential illnesses, the benefit of feeling socially content far outweighs any potential germ exposure. Spending time with people whom you consider friends is preferable, but talking to coworkers or casual acquaintances also helps. If you have social anxiety or live or work in a situation in which you have limited access to other people, bonding with a special pet can be a reasonably effective substitute for human contact.  Be sure you find a pet with a great personality, who interacts with you and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте стресса. Старайтесь чаще смеяться. Проводите время с другими людьми. Общайтесь с животными.


Stretching and working out your facial muscles can keep blood circulating and fine lines and wrinkles from developing. Repeat these exercises once or twice a day to help your skin be firmer and appear more youthful firmer.  Put a hand on your forehead and push your head against it. Stay in this position for 10 seconds. Sit upright and lift your head back so that your chin is pointing toward the ceiling with your lips closed. Make a chewing motion with your mouth and feel your facial muscles working. Repeat this exercise about 20 times. Tilt your head to the ceiling again and pout your lips in a kissing motion. Repeat this exercise twice by pouting your lips for twenty seconds each time. Whenever you use your facial muscles, it causes a groove to form under your skin. As your skin ages and loses elasticity, it can no longer fill this groove and cause fine lines and wrinkles. Varying your facial gestures may help to keep your facial skin firm longer. Incorporate regular exercise into your lifestyle as well. It not only promotes blood circulation and keeps you healthy, but may also help your skin appear more youthful. Some studies have shown that a nutritionally well-balanced diet can protect your skin and delay aging and loss of elasticity. Consuming face friendly foods like fruits and vegetables may promote more youthful skin.  Avoid foods high in fat and sugar, which may slow cell turnover and make your skin appear older. Eat foods high in vitamin A and beta-carotene like fruits and vegetables increase cell turnover for healthier skin. Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables are high in vitamin A and beta-carotene. Incorporate foods high in vitamin C like citrus fruits, which studies have shown may promote younger looking skin. Have food high in essential fatty acids, such as walnuts or olive oil, to keep skin cells hydrated. Avoid food high in unhealthy fats, which could make your skin appear less youthful. Remember that unhealthy food takes the place nutrient-rich choices that can promote healthy skin....

TL;DR in Russian:

Делайте упражнения для мышц лица. Чередуйте выражения лица. Ешьте продукты, полезные для кожи. Пейте больше воды. Защищайте кожу от солнца. Откажитесь от курения. Боритесь со стрессом. Смиритесь с тем, что человек может стареть.


Strive to maintain a lightheartedness about what you're doing. If you can't stand the people you work with, then laugh about how reliably silly and petty people can be. Imagine that you're living in a sitcom. Turn monotonous tasks into games.Be playful and try to have fun.   Play pranks on your coworkers. Have fun, but make sure not to do anything that will get you fired! Unless, of course, you want to get fired. Organize events with your coworkers. Invite them out for drinks after work, or plan a party in the office. Start a book club or a fantasy sports team. . Let go of your frustration by changing your perspective. View your job as a temporary situation, not something with which you'll be "stuck" for the rest of your life. Look at the big picture. Remember that change is the only constant in life. All things go, and so too will this job that you hate. Ask yourself whether you will still be working this job in a year. If so: why? Try to find a way out. Think about your friends, your family, and your community. Bring your attention to your hobbies and passions. Notice the beautiful place where you live, and be thankful that you are alive. . One way to avoid getting lost in your frustration is to get so lost in the moment—the minute details of what you're doing, and how you feel when you're doing it—that you forget about all of those negative thoughts. Optimism asks you to look at the big picture, but living in the moment involves looking at the tiniest picture possible. See if there is a way for you to cope with this job by accepting your place in the present.  Do not dwell on the past. Whenever negative past events pop into your mind, bring your attention back to the task at hand. Similarly, don't imagine about the future. Oftentimes we imagine future events that never happen, so we worry for nothing. Living in the moment is not always easy to do. Meditation or mindfulness meditation can help. . Perhaps you hate your job even more because you feel that you need it to survive. Don't be a slave to the job!...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поддерживайте хорошее чувство юмора. Будьте оптимистом Сосредоточьтесь на положительных вещах в жизни. Живите настоящим моментом Избавьтесь от страха быть уволенным Молитесь


Strong negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and anger can lead to self-destructive behaviors. Finding new ways of coping with these triggers is crucial to reducing self-destructive behaviors. More than likely, there are triggers that precipitate your self-destructive patterns. Use the activities in the previous step to identify thoughts, feelings, and situations that trigger self-destructive tendencies. These will include not just your feelings, but the specific situations which seem to coincide with self-destructive behaviors.  Continue working in your journal. Keep a page devoted solely to identifying and tracking your triggers to self-destructive behaviors. For example, some triggers to drinking alcohol might be: when my mother yells at me, when I feel stressed out or overwhelmed, when I hang out with friends who drink, and when I am home alone and feeling lonely. Actively avoid situations that trigger you. For instance, if you want to reduce your drinking, but you know that if you hang out with certain people that will try to pressure you to drink alcohol, avoid this situation altogether. Instead of putting yourself in a potentially risky situation where it may be difficult to say no, give an excuse or explain that you are in recovery. Is important to understand how to cope with these triggers (situations, emotions, and thoughts) to self-destructive behaviors. In addition to changing your specific thoughts, you can also actively change your self-destructive behavior or replace it with a new behavior that is more effective in helping you cope.  Try communicating with your higher power, if you believe in a power greater than yourself. Sometimes, we need to talk about something to let go of it. Try new activities. Find alternatives to your self-destructive behaviors that don't cause more harm than good. For example, you could try: writing, painting, coloring, sports, camping, hiking, walking, collecting things, helping others, or gardening. Avoid trying to immediately escape an emotion. Focus on longer...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите связь между эмоциями и поведением. Проведите обстоятельный  самоанализ. Составьте список своих навыков решения проблем. Учитесь чувствовать эмоции. Следите за своим здоровьем. Поддерживайте здоровые отношения. Обратитесь за помощью.


Studies have shown again and again that grooming is the most important element of attractiveness.  Shower often. You shouldn’t necessarily style your hair like you’re going to prom all the time, and don’t feel like you need to spend hours with the curling iron and hairspray, but be sure your hair looks clean.  Sometimes the amount and type of grooming that you will do depends on the type of person you want to attract. Some people are more attracted to a rugged, outdoors type, while others prefer a more put-together appearance. Smell your best. Wear deodorant, and bathe regularly, but don’t overdo it on the perfume, body spray, or lotion.  You don’t want to make your crush sneeze or get a headache because you are wearing too much scent. In general, research shows that neat, well fitting, and more formal clothes are considered the most attractive.  That is, clothes should be free of holes, well-laundered, flattering to your shape, and typically on the classier side.   That said, it all depends on who you’re trying to attract. Some people find a more casual look appealing. No matter what style you choose, pick clothing that you feel good in, so that you will look and feel more confident. Some researchers believe that wearing red makes you more attractive. According to one study, teeth are “the human equivalent of a peacock’s tail.”  The study showed that people with whiter, brighter, more evenly spaced teeth were rated more attractive than others. Be sure to brush and floss those pearly whites, and if you’ve had the privilege of orthodontia, wear your retainer!

TL;DR in Russian:

Тщательно ухаживайте за собой. Опрятно одевайтесь. Следите за чистотой зубов.


Studies have shown that continuous chronic stress can lead to abdominal obesity or excess fat levels.  Managing stress better may help you lose weight and decrease excess fat levels.  In addition, chronic stress can make it difficult to lose weight.  You might feel hungrier and crave more "comfort foods" when you're stressed. Try to engage in relaxing activities to help you relieve stress in your life.  For example, try:  meditating, going for a walk, listening to music, talking to a friend or doodling. If you're having difficulty managing stress, consider seeing a behavior therapist for stress management.  These health professionals can give you additional guidance and techniques to better manage your stress. Like stress, poor sleeping habits can also make weight loss and decreasing excess body fat more difficult.  Studies have shown that those people who don't sleep well or sleep enough pack on more body fat and lose more lean muscle mass.  In addition, your levels of ghrelin (your hunger hormone) increase which stimulates your appetite.  Aim for at least 7-9 hours of sleep each night.  This amount is recommended for adults. Try going to bed earlier or sleeping in later to help you meet your nightly goal. Also, try turning off cell phones, laptops and TVs prior to going to sleep.  This helps you get a more sound sleep. Studies have shown that regular weigh-ins help you stick to your diet longer term.  Help yourself stick to your diet plan by getting on the scale on a regular basis.  Knowing that you have a regular weigh-in can help motivate you to stay on track with your diet and exercise routine. Try to weigh yourself one to two times a week.  This will give you the most accurate view of your weight loss trend. Remember, although you want to lose body fat, you'll see the reduction of body fat reflected in your overall weight loss.

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте стрессов. Старайтесь достаточно спать. Взвешивайтесь хотя бы один раз в неделю.


Studies show that physical activity can ease menstrual cramp pain. Taking a brisk walk, light jog, or swim can help your cramps. There is no need to work out too hard during your period. Doing some exercise, though, can make you feel fitter and happier. These substances can worsen menstrual cramps. Alcohol can leave you feeling dehydrated. In any case, do not use alcohol in conjunction with painkillers. Drink at least 9 cups (2.2 liters) of filtered water daily. Your body is losing fluid and blood during menstruation. By staying hydrated, your body will feel less weak and you will be more energetic. Beverages with electrolytes like sports drinks or coconut water also can help you feel better. Coconut water has more potassium than a banana and is a great natural source of hydration. Psychological stress can increase the severity of your cramps. Consider doing yoga exercises to calm your body. Stretching also can help alleviate your cramps. Almost every woman will menstruate during her life. It is a completely healthy, natural process. Do not be ashamed of your period. You can live life normally during menstruation. If you feel uncomfortable about having your period, talk to a trusted friend or adult.

TL;DR in Russian:

Занимайтесь физической нагрузкой. Избегайте курения и употребления алкоголя. Следите за поддержанием водного баланса. Сокращайте воздействие стресса. Осознайте, что менструация – это нормальный естественный процесс.


Studying history involves memorizing lots of dates, names, events, and other facts. Look through your notes and textbook and identify keywords. Make a list of them, then create flashcards with a word on one side and its definition or explanation on the other. You can even use an app like quizlet to create flashcards digitally. If you have trouble coming up with a list, try asking your teacher what key dates, figures, and other information might show up on the test. Seeing, saying, hearing, and touching at the same time help your brain make stronger connections and memorize information more easily. Try reading your textbook out loud as you study, and say what you’re writing as you create your flashcards. You could also try recording yourself reading your textbook or flashcards. As you listen to the recording, follow along in your notes or flashcards. Memorization can be boring, but using quick, silly ways to remember facts can add a little fun. Even better, they’re also an effective way to keep your facts straight. For example, the mnemonic device Neighbors Actually Persuaded Lovely Yvonne To Shut Her Window will help you memorize the British royal families in chronological order: Norman, Angevin, Plantagenet, Lancaster, York, Tudor, Stuart, Hanover, and Windsor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте карточки с основными понятиями, именами и датами. Проговаривайте информацию вслух, когда делаете или читаете записи. Запоминайте факты при помощи мнемонических приемов.


Studying multiple languages can feel like a daunting task. To avoid burnout, include some fun language-learning activities into your study time. Watch movies or shows with subtitles in one of the languages you’re learning, listen to music in your new language, or find native speakers of the language that you can talk to and practice with. Joining a local conversation group or language exchange for the languages you’re learning can be a great way to stay motivated and meet new people. You can use a website like meetup.com or your local newspaper to find a group like this. You can also join a virtual language exchange through a website like iTalki. Be sure to schedule time each day to practice at least one of your languages. In addition to the scheduled time, you can label items around your house in the different languages, or change the language settings on your phone and computer. You can also listen to music in your target languages, watch TV shows or movies in the different languages, and consume other media in those languages. Small changes like this will give you little bits of language practice even when you’re not formally studying. To stay motivated, it helps to have a solid reason for why you want to learn the new languages. Find something that you care about to help you get motivated to keep learning. Some ideas are to plan a trip to a country that speaks one of the languages you’re learning, or join a volunteer group for helping speakers of that language get accustomed to life in your country. Don’t forget to celebrate all of your small accomplishments! Allow yourself to take breaks as a reward, or treat yourself to a dessert that is traditional to a country that speaks a language you’re learning. Planning a trip to a country that speaks the language is also a perfect way to reward yourself.

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте себе повеселиться. Задействуйте изучаемые языки в повседневной жизни. Погрузитесь в естественную языковую среду. Поощряйте себя.


Studying out loud is a very helpful way to remember information. If you hear information and talk about it, you’re more likely to remember it. Just make sure you choose a friend who probably studied and understands the material. Ask your friend if the two of you can exchange notes so you can read theirs quickly. After your friend has told you what they remember learning from studying, repeat what they say out loud, in your own words. Doing this will help you to better recall what you studied while you’re taking the test. If you’re not sure about what something your friend said means, ask about it. Keep asking questions until you understand it. Relate what you know already to what your friend is saying, and have a conversation about the test material. Figuring out what to stay focused on together will be helpful for the both of you. Using your notes, ask each other some basic questions on what you think you should know for the test. Give each other a little pep talk too about how great you’ll both do!

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите друга, которому вы доверяете. Поговорите о материале. Задавайте вопросы. Протестируйте друг друга.


Suboxone has a long half life. A half-life is the amount of time it takes for a substance to deplete to half its value and Suboxone's half-life is 37 hours. This means some traces of the substance stays in your system for over two days after your last dose. Despite this, quitting cold turkey is not recommended. You could end up causing yourself unnecessary physical and emotional pain.  Quitting cold turkey may not be safe and the withdrawal symptoms, such as body aches and dizziness, will be much more severe if you simply stop using the drug suddenly. Relapse is far more likely if you attempt to quit cold turkey.  Remember, you should not detox from Suboxone until you have the other opiate addiction for which Suboxone was recommended under control. You should also wait until you are in a stress-free environment. You do not want quitting Suboxone to lead to a relapse of heroin or another powerful narcotic. Never stop taking Suboxone without consulting a physician first. You need to figure out a safe and effective method of detox that minimizes withdrawal and the likelihood of relapse.  Talk to a physician who knows your full medical history including your history of drug use. Only they can tell you what's safe for you. You can also check into a rehab or detox facility where on-staff physicians have experience treating addiction and can provide you medical support during the process of quitting.  Most doctors recommend reducing your dosage by 20% to 25% every 24 to 48 hours. A medication to control heart rate and blood pressure will be prescribed. In addition, medications to treat the nausea, diarrhea, sleeplessness, and cramping will also be recommended. Withdrawal symptoms will not be as harsh for Suboxone as they might be for other narcotics like heroin; however, you should expect to experience some symptoms of withdrawal as you begin the process of quitting.  Common withdrawal symptoms include dizziness, confusion, headaches, nausea, stomach pain, sleep disturbances, and liver damage. You should regularly...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не пытайтесь резко прекратить прием лекарства, содержащего бупренорфин. Обсудите с лечащим врачом, каким образом вам следует уменьшать дозировку препарата. Будьте готовы к возникновению синдрома отмены.


Subtract the number you just wrote below the dividend from the digits of the dividend directly above it. Write the result beneath the line you just drew.  In the example, we'll subtract 24 from 25, getting 1. Do not subtract from the complete dividend, but only those digits you worked with in Parts One and Two. In the example, you should not subtract 24 from 250. Write the next digit of the dividend after the result of your subtraction operation. In the example, because 6 can't go into 1 without exceeding it, you need to bring down another digit. In this case, you'll grab the 0 from 250 and place it after the 1, making it 10, which 6 can go into. Divide the new number by your divisor, and write the result above the dividend as the next digit of the quotient.  In the example, determine out how many times 6 can go into 10. Write that number (1) into the quotient above the dividend. Then multiply 6 by 1, and subtract the result from 10. You should end up with 4. If your dividend has more than three digits, keep repeating this process until you've worked through all of them. For example, if we we had started with 2506 grams of mushrooms, we'd pull the 6 down next and place it next to the four.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вычтите число, записанной под делимым, из первых двух цифр делимого. Опустите третью цифру делимого, то есть запишите ее рядом с результатом вычитания. Повторите процесс с новым числом.


Such drugs can help men maintain erections for several hours at a time. They work by enhancing the effect of nitric oxide, which the body produces naturally to relax and increase blood flow to the penis. If you're interested in taking a drug specifically geared toward treating ED, talk with your doctor about getting a prescription.  It's important to treat the underlying problem that might be causing ED, rather than relying on medication alone to deal with the issue. ED medications might not work, or might be dangerous to take, if you're taking certain other medications or have had a stroke or heart disease. If you'd prefer not to take medication, it's possible to use either an injection or suppository to administer alprostadil into the penis just before you want to have an erection. Side effects can include pain and the accumulation of fibrous tissue in the penis. If your doctor determines that your ED is being caused by low levels of testosterone, then testosterone replacement therapy may be the right solution for you. Talk to your doctor about starting a program. This device is a hollow tube with a hand pump. The tube is placed on the penis and the pump is used to create an erection. A ring is placed a the base of the penis to keep the blood from flowing out. If you're interested in trying a pump, talk with your doctor about which model is right for your needs. Either inflatable or semi-rigid implants are placed in the penis, enabling you to have greater control over erections. Since implants can cause infections, doctors usually advise against them unless all the other methods have failed. If you're not interested in drugs and devices, see a homeopathic practitioner who can advise you as to what natural remedies might help manage your ED. While no studies have been conducted to prove that these remedies work for everyone, some men have found that acupuncture, herbal medicines, and "herbal Viagra" can be useful.  Don't take supplements or extracts without consulting with a physician first. Korean red...

TL;DR in Russian:

Принимайте препараты от ЭД. Рассмотрите возможность прибегнуть к инъекции или суппозиторию. Изучите возможности тестостероновой терапии. Попробуйте помпу для пениса. Подумайте о возможности имплантации. Поищите природные средства.


Sugar, whether in a refined form or a natural form, like honey, can help neutralize spiciness. After you’ve eaten something spicy, sprinkle enough sugar or drizzle enough honey to cover your tongue so that the capsaicin can be absorbed. This will also put a nice, sweet taste in your mouth. The fat and oil in all dairy products, not just milk, can work well when trying to relieve a burning tongue. Eat a bit of yogurt or sour cream so that the capsaicin can be dissolved, much like dish soap dissolves grease on your dirty dishes. Opt for full-fat yogurt and sour cream for the best results. While it might taste a little gross on its own, oil has the perfect combination of fat and oil for countering the burning sensation caused by spicy food. Hold your nose to minimize the taste and pour a little on your tongue. If you can’t stand the taste of the oil, peanut butter has similar qualities and should work as a good substitute. Starches, such as bread, chips, crackers, potatoes, rice, or pasta, can all act as a barrier between your mouth and the capsaicin in the spicy food you’re eating, which will lessen the burn. These foods can also absorb some of the capsaicin. The high fat content in milk chocolate makes it another good solution for cooling off your mouth. Next time you eat something too hot, grab a candy bar to remove some of the capsaicin from your taste buds. Dark chocolate has less fat, so it’s less effective.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посыпьте сахар или положите немного меда на ваш язык. Съешьте немного йогурта или сметаны. Проглотите немного оливкового масла. Съешьте что-нибудь, содержащее крахмал. Съешьте кусочек молочного шоколада.


Suggest that they call themselves out when they think things like, “I’m not good enough,” or “I’ll never be able to do this.” Advise that they tell themselves, “Stop! These are negative thoughts, they’re unproductive, and I have the power to change my thought process.”  Ask them, “Would you tell a close friend ‘You’re a bad person,’ or criticize them harshly? More likely, you’d let them know they need to work on something in a much nicer way. Instead of practicing negative self-talk, treat yourself the way you would treat your friends.”  Suggest that they replace negative thoughts with more neutral or realistic ones. For example, instead of “I’m so dumb, I’ll never be good at math,” suggest that they tell themselves, “This is a difficult subject for me, but I’m going to work on getting better at it.” This can help them transition to a more positive mindset. Make sure your friend is interested in hearing tips about controlling negative thoughts. If they don't respond well, it might be best to give them some space instead of forcing the conversation. Let your loved one know that you understand how life's obstacles can seem unchanging, insurmountable, and all-encompassing. Tell them to think objectively instead of getting overwhelmed.  Tell them, “Thinking in absolute, negative terms isn’t constructive. Instead of ‘I’ll never be good at this,’ say to yourself, ‘If I practice, I can improve,’ or ‘There are some things I’m not good at, and that’s okay.’” Say, “Bad things can seem like they’ll stick around forever, but nothing is permanent. Think about times that you’ve dealt with tough situations. Things got better in time; just say to yourself, ‘This too shall pass.’” Try encouraging them by saying, “Do your best to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve overcome a lot, and you’ve become stronger by conquering past obstacles.” Tell them to forgive themselves for mistakes they’ve made, from saying something silly to deliberately doing something wrong. Instead of dwelling on the past, suggest that they...

TL;DR in Russian:

Объясните, как выявить и перенаправить негативные внутренние диалоги. Напомните любимому человеку, что негативные ситуации носят временный характер. Убедите любимого человека в том, что все совершают ошибки. Попросите его смириться с тем, что он не может контролировать.


Sukkot is a joyous holiday and a time of great celebration for all Jews! In fact, Sukkot is so closely associated with happy emotions that traditional sources often call it Z'man Simchateinu (Hebrew:"the Season of our Rejoicing"). For the seven days of Sukkot, Jews are encouraged to celebrate God's role in their lives and rejoice in the good fortune of the past year. Sukkot should a happy time spent with your friends and family, so be ready to let go of any negative thoughts or feelings in preparation for the holiday. Aim to be upbeat, positive, and thankful to God for the entire week. As noted above, one of the most memorable, remarkable traditions of Sukkot is the building of a Sukkah.. This lightly-constructed booth can be made from many different types of materials as long as it is able to stand up to the wind. The roof of the Sukkah is traditionally made from leaves, branches, and other plant matter. Sukkah are usually decorated on the inside with drawings and religious symbols. For more information on building a Sukkah, see the appropriate section below. In the book of Leviticus, Jews are instructed to dwell in the Sukkah for all seven days of the Sukkot holiday. In a modern context, most take this to mean centering family gatherings around the sukkah and eating meals inside it, though some devout Jews will even sleep in it. Though the Sukkot holiday lasts for about 7 to 8 days, the first two days of the holiday are especially blessed. On these days, much like on Shabbat, most forms of work are to be avoided as a show of reverence to God. Specifically, all activities normally forbidden on Shabbat are also forbidden on the first two days of Sukkot with the exception of cooking, baking, transferring fire, and carrying things around. During this time, people observing the holiday are encouraged to spend time praying and celebrating with their families.  The following five days are Chol Hamoed (Hebrew: "intermediate days"), during which work is permitted. Note, however, that if Shabbat falls during the...

Summer is a fun time to play with friends. A great way to stay active in the summer is to join a summer camp or sporting activity. You will have fun meeting new friends and spending time outdoors in the summer weather. There’s many different types of summer camps to choose from including sleep away camps, day camps, sport focused camp, or artistic camps. Joining a summer sporting activity like swim team is a great way to stay active all summer long.  Search online or visit local churches, schools, libraries, or nature centers to find summer camps in your area. Sometimes, local magazines will have a listing of upcoming summer camps in the area as well. Sign up for camps early to ensure you receive a spot in the camp. Swim team, flag football, tennis, and golf are all great sports to do in the summer. Summer is a great time to do activities outdoors because the weather is warmer and the days are longer, so stay active by going for a hike at a local trail. Hikes are a fun way to enjoy nature while keeping physically fit. There are many hiking trails to choose from, so you can try to do new one each week of the summer for a fun challenge.  Make sure you dress appropriately for your hike by wearing comfortable, sporty clothes, a hat, and tennis shoes or hiking boots. Bring a friend with you on your hike to share the experience with. Pack a backpack filled with healthy snacks, water bottles, a cell phone or gps, and a first aid kit. Find local trails to hike by searching online, visiting your local nature center, or contacting your local parks and recreation department.

Найдите летний лагерь или спортивную секцию. Отправьтесь в поход по окрестностям.


Sun exposure can wreak all sorts of havoc on your complexion, from freckles and brown spots to serious sunburns and skin cancer. If you want lighter skin, you have to care for it properly, using a sunscreen with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating.  When you expose your skin to UVA and UVB light, your body produces melanin which makes your skin appear darker. Therefore, the number one most important thing you can do to lighten your skin is to wear sunscreen every day you'll be outdoors, even when it's not super-hot or sunny. You can also protect your skin by wearing light, long-sleeved clothing and by wearing a hat and sunglasses when you're in the sun for long periods of time. Taking good care of your skin involves following a strict skincare routine where skin is properly cleansed, exfoliated and moisturized. Thoroughly cleanse your face twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. This removes dirt and oil, which is important for a healthy, clear complexion. Moisturize with a product suited to your skin type. If you have oily or blemish prone skin, you should go for light lotions, while people with very dry skin should go for heavier creams. This is important as it removes the darker, dead skin cells and reveals the new, lighter skin beneath. You can exfoliate using a product containing small particles, or by gently rubbing your face with a clean, damp washcloth. If you have acne prone skin, consider a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid, which will dissolve dead skin cells without over stimulating the skin. Drinking water and eating right won't magically make your skin lighter, but it will help skin to rejuvenate itself.  When skin rejuvenates, the old, pigmented layers fade away and fresh, new skin is revealed, leaving your skin looking brighter and healthier. Drinking more water speeds up this process, so you try to drink between six and eight glasses a day. A good diet also helps to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy by providing it with the vitamins and nutrients it needs. Try to...

Supplementing with vitamin C has been shown to reduce the severity of asthma attacks. You can take 500 mg of Vitamin C every day as long as you do not have kidney disease. You may also want to consider including vitamin C rich foods such as:  Citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit Berries Cantaloupe Kiwis Broccoli Sweet potatoes Tomatoes Molybdenum is a trace mineral. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of molybdenum for children up to 13 years is 22–43 mcg/day. The recommended amount for people over 14 years is 45 mcg.  Pregnant and nursing women need 50 mcg/day.  Most multivitamins will include molybdenum, but it can also be purchased on its own. You can also get molybdenum by eating certain foods, such as:  Beans Lentils Peas Leafy vegetables Milk Cheese Nuts Organ meats Selenium is necessary for the biochemical reactions involved in controlling inflammation. If you use a supplement, get a supplement that uses selenomethionine because this form is easier for your body to absorb.  Don’t take more than 200 mcg of selenium a day because it can be toxic in higher doses. Food sources include:  Wheat Crab Liver Poultry Vitamin B6 is involved with over 100 different reactions in the body. Vitamin B6 can help reduce inflammation as well as support the immune system. As a supplement, children between the ages of one to eight years should take 0.8 mg/day. Children between the ages of nine to 13 should take 1.0 mg/day. Adolescents and adults should take 1.3–1.7 mg/day and women who are pregnant or nursing should take 1.9–2.0 mg/day. Foods highest in the most absorbable form of Vitamin B6 include:  Salmon Potatoes Turkey Chicken Avocados Spinach Bananas When vitamin B12 levels are low, supplementing with vitamin B12 may improve symptoms of asthma. As a supplement, children between the ages of 1-8 years should take 0.9-1.2 mg/day. Children between the ages of 9-13 should take 1.8 mg/day. Adolescents and adults should take 2.4 mg/day and women who are pregnant or nursing should take 2.6-2.8 mg/day.  Food sources...

Sure, the first draft is full of mistakes and spelling / grammatical errors, but at least it exists, right? Besides, the first draft is just that — a draft.  You can always edit it at your own pace, as much as you want. And after constant re-tooling, you have your first chapter. After that, do the same with the remaining chapters, until you think they're good enough to be read, if not published (yet). If you don't think your draft is something that you yourself would pick from a bookstore shelf, then it needs work. Continuity is the consistency, as well as the flow, of the light novel when it comes to information, events, or just about anything in your light novel. Make sure you jot down major events in your story to keep for reference if you don't have the time to look back through your book every now and then. If you write your "ranobe" on your computer using a word processor, then you just need to save the draft. For those writing "ye olde-fashioned way," copy your draft from the paper you used to write it on and save your light novel onto a computer (and proofread using the processor's spell-check). These will be mostly without dialogue, as your "ranobe" will most likely relay what the characters have said. Add these images in the center of the action, in order to properly illustrate the scene. Save the file.

Напишите свой первый черновик. Следите за непрерывностью. Сохраните ваше произведение на компьютер. Как только документ сохранен, добавьте изображения, ранее нарисованные  вами или нанятым художником.


Surgery is one common treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. Surgery is an option if you have stage I or stage II cancer or some stage III lung cancers. During surgery, the cancerous tumor is removed. To do this, the surgeon has to remove the part of the lung that contains the tumor.  Each of your lungs has a superior lobe (the largest, top section of the lung), the right lung has a middle lobe (middle section), and both the right and left lungs have inferior lobes (small, bottom section). Depending on how big the tumor is, the surgeon may only take a small section of the lung or they might take the whole lobe or the entire lung. Usually the nearby lymph nodes will be removed as well. These lymph nodes will be checked for cancer cells. Removing the entire lobe is often chosen over removing a small section. Removing the entire lobe has a higher chance of curing the cancer. If there are cancer cells near the edge of the tissue removed during the surgery, you may (rarely) need a second surgery to go back and get any remaining cancerous tissue. Some people cannot undergo surgery due to poor health.  Surgery is used most often with non-small cell lung cancer. Chemotherapy is used for all stages of non-small cell lung cancer. It may be used after surgery, along with radiation, or for advanced stage cancer that has spread. Chemotherapy uses medication to kill cancer cells or prevent them from dividing, which keeps the cells from growing. Chemotherapy treatment is either done orally, intravenously, through an injection into a muscle, or placed directly into the affected area of the body.  The type of chemotherapy you will receive depends on the stage and type of cancer. You may be given a combination of different drugs. Chemotherapy usually takes weeks or months of treatments.  In early stages of cancer (stage II), chemotherapy can help reduce the risk of the cancer returning. Chemotherapy is most often used with small cell lung cancer, along with radiation therapy. Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, is...

Surgery is usually scheduled in advance to give you enough time to prepare and work on an exercise routine. Exercising prior to surgery will restore some of your knee function and will ensure that your knee will be strong enough for the surgery.  The main objectives of exercising the ACL are to strengthen the supporting muscles and to improve your range of motion as much as possible. The intensity of the exercise should be gradually increased. Be alert of pain which may signal that you are pushing yourself too much. When pain is felt, stop the exercise immediately and decrease the intensity of the exercise. Your physician might refer you to a physical therapist who will develop an exercise program especially tailored to your current condition. Talk to your doctor before starting any exercise regimens. This exercise will help strengthen your hamstring, gluteus (butt muscles), and hip muscles. Perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions of this exercise.  Lie on your back with your hands interlaced on your stomach. Your knees and ankles should be bent in such a way that only your heels are in contact with the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your buttocks and hips up off the floor until your knees, hips, and shoulders are all in line. Hold this position for 6 seconds and then slowly go back to the starting position and rest for 10 seconds. Repeat the whole exercise. This exercise will strengthen your gluteus muscles, which are important when extending and rotating your legs. Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.  Lie on your back with your knees straightened and ankles at a 90 degree angle perpendicular to the floor. Use your elbow to raise your upper body. Squeeze your buttocks as strongly as possible and hold for 6 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds and repeat the whole procedure. This exercise will develop the muscles at the back of your thigh. Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.  Lie on your stomach with your hands folded to support your head. You can place a washcloth above your knee if your kneecap feels painful or...

Sweating out water is one of the quickest ways to drop water weight. If you have access to a sauna or a steam room, take a 30 minute soak to sweat out the fluids and toxins in your body.  Spend only 30 minutes at a time in the sauna to avoid dehydration. You will likely gain the water weight back after drinking or eating, but this is a good way to temporary shed water weight for the night. Drinking alcohol can lead to dehydration, which will will then force your body to store excess water to stay hydrated. Avoid that glass of wine or pint of beer before and after exercise to stay hydrated and skip alcoholic beverages for the night if you want to avoid carrying any water weight. Get your heart pounding to pump fresh blood and oxygen to all your tissues, increasing circulation of body fluid and helping the excretory system get rid of waste. Increase the frequency and intensity of your workout for the week to encourage your body to release water weight through sweat. Exercise also elevates your cortisol levels to a healthy level, which helps you work through stress and tension.  High intensity interval training (HIIT) can help you burn fat and sweat out water weight. This type of training is structured around simple, intense exercises, followed by short bursts for recovery or rest.You can perform HIIT exercises with gym equipment, or an exercise mat and a few free weights. There are several popular HIIT programs listed here.

TL;DR in Russian:

Посещайте баню или сауну. Сократите потребление алкоголя. Не забывайте о тренировках.


Sync your favorite tunes to your iPod or mobile device so you can pull them out at any time while you're on the move. You can also use programs like Spotify, iTunes, or Pandora to stream a nearly endless catalog of hits. If you've got the radio on, make sure it's something that everyone in the car can agree on. Be sure to stash a pair of headphones in your bag—without them, you might have trouble hearing your music or run the risk of annoying your fellow passengers. Thanks to modern technology, it's now possible to enjoy your favorite programs from just about anywhere. Use your smartphone or tablet to stream titles from Netflix, Hulu, or similar apps. You could even hold a private viewing party for the people in the back seat!  Make sure everybody else gets a chance to pick something to watch on a shared device. If data or internet reception is an issue, invest in a portable DVD player that you can fit into your luggage. Send messages to your crew back home and let them know how your trip is shaping up. This will allow you to stay connected while you're gone.  This will only be an option when you're in areas with decent cell coverage. Don't forget to pack an extra charger (or better yet, a car charger) so you can give your phone some juice whenever you stop. Keep your followers informed about how your trip is going by posting on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Take some time each day to upload photos, status updates and even reviews of restaurants, museums, and famous attractions. It's a good way to document your travels while also staying connected to everything else that's going on in your social circle while you're away.  Come up with a unique hashtag for your vacation to organize all of your relevant posts under one label.  Be sure to turn on your device's location settings, as well. This will allow your followers to see all the places you've visited.

Слушайте музыку. Смотрите фильмы или сериалы. Переписывайтесь с друзьями. Рассказывайте о поездке в социальных сетях.


Take a couple flat strips of cardboard, wet them, and stack them on one another in an area where termites are likely to be. Because termites feed on cellulose (cardboard), this makes for an excellent spot trap. When the cardboard is infested with termites, take it out in a safe area and burn it. Repeat multiple times, if necessary.  Note: This spot trap will not solve all your termite problems. It is a quick fix to remove several hundred termites, often at a time. Combine this method with other fixes to deliver a more powerful punch. Beneficial nematodes are small unsegmented worm species that are natural parasites to garden pests, including termites. These nematodes search for hosts, such as termite larvae, and burrow into them, usually causing death within 48 hours. They use the host's carcass as a place to spawn.  You can purchase beneficial nematodes at your local garden supply store or online. Currently, there are about five varieties produced for sale. For use in soil temperatures above 60 °F (16 °C), nematodes should be used immediately after they are purchased. If you do not use them immediately, store them in a refrigerator. Plant them in the early morning or after sunset, as UV light will harm them. If the termite-infested item is not your home but rather a piece of furniture or an item that can be removed from your home, expose it to sunlight. Termites thrive in darkness, and the heat and light from the sun will kill them. On a sunny day, place your furniture outside for as long as possible - preferably 2-3 days. This method works well in conjunction with the cardboard trap method for capturing/killing the termites. If you’re in a rainy area and can’t expose your furniture to sunlight, consider an alternative of freezing your furniture to kill the termites. Place your pieces (or parts of your pieces) of wooden furniture into a large freezer for 2-3 days. Although this can be tricky for large pieces of furniture, if you’re able the freezer method should guarantee the death of the termites.

TL;DR in Russian:

Устройте "картонную ловушку". Попробуйте применить полезных нематод. Поместите пораженные деревянные предметы на солнечный свет. Заморозьте термитов.


Take a deep cooking pot and fill it with water. The pot should be spacious enough to hold the cap you’re attempting to shrink without overflowing. Set the eye of the stove to a medium heat and allow the pot to start warming up. You might also be able to perform this step in a sink, though using a pot will give you greater control over the temperature of the water. Heat the water until it begins to emit a small amount of steam. The water should be hot enough to shrink the cap, but not so hot that it might burn you or damage the cap’s materials. Do not allow the water to come to a boil. In addition to potentially causing burns, water that is too hot might cause the cap’s bill to warp and lose its structure. Place the cap into the hot water. Force it down until it soaks up enough water to stay submerged on its own. You should be able to dunk the cap in the water by hand, but you can also use a pair of kitchen tongs if you prefer. If you don’t plan on reshaping the bill later, you can hold it out of the water entirely, wetting only the cap’s crown. Give the cap a few minutes to begin undergoing to the effects of the hot water bath. The heat will cause the cotton fibers that the cap is made of to constrict and cling more tightly together, effectively shrinking the entire hat. Soak the cap until the fabric of the crown begins to “billow” a bit; this is a sign that it has loosened up sufficiently to be refitted. Safely remove the cap from the hot water and shake it remove excess liquid. Once the hat has cooled, place it on your head and wear it until it dries through. The damp hat will be extremely pliable, and as it dries it will conform to the shape of your head.  Drying a hat this way will likely take all day. For best results, heat the cap early in the day and then wear it as you go about your business. Hang the hat up by the bill overnight using a clothespin to prevent stretching or warping as it continues to dry.

Take a few steps and see if you feel woozy. Then, check if you can walk straight and maintain your balance without swaying. You may be drunk if you’re feeling disoriented, can’t walk straight, or the room feels like it’s moving.  You might feel like everything is hard right now. For instance, walking to the bathroom and relieving yourself might feel difficult right now. That’s a sign that you’re drunk. If you're feeling unsteady on your feet, stay seated or ask a friend to support you while you're walking. It's possible to accidentally hurt yourself, and your safety is very important. Alcohol affects your concentration, so it’ll be really hard to focus. Try to tell your friend a story or to read something on your phone. If your mind keeps wandering or you forget what you’re doing, it’s likely that you are drunk.  Try retracing your steps over the course of the night. Do you remember everything that happened? Can you give specific details? Are you keeping good track of time? If anything is unclear right now, you’re probably drunk. Ask a friend or someone you trust for help if you need it. For example, if you're having trouble paying your tab, ask a friend to help you take care of it. It’s normal to experience nausea when you’re drunk, which can range from mild to severe. If you drink a lot of alcohol, you might even throw up. Sit down and take a break if you start to feel sick.  If you don’t feel nauseous, it doesn’t mean you aren’t drunk. Drink some water to help you avoid dehydration. This might help you start to feel better. It’s common for your pupils to dilate when you’re drunk, so you’ll likely notice that your pupils cover most of your iris. Go to the bathroom or use a pocket mirror to see if your pupils look really big. You can also ask a friend if your pupils look wide. Say, “Are my pupils really dilated?” to see if it’s racing. When you’re drunk, your heart beats fast but you’ll breathe slowly because alcohol is a depressant. Place your right forefinger and middle finger over your left wrist to check...

TL;DR in Russian:

Встаньте и походите, чтобы понять, твердо ли вы стоите на ногах. Подумайте, можете ли вы сосредоточиться на задаче или разговоре. Отдохните, если чувствуете тошноту или если вас рвет. Посмотрите в зеркало на свои зрачки. Измерьте свой пульс


Take a large basket or bin and walk through the space you need to clean. Put all of the papers, toys, and things that belong in other rooms into the basket. Don't worry about putting all of the items away since you're short on time. Instead, store the basket in a room that you're not cleaning or in a closet.  If you have a lot of clutter that just needs to be thrown away, walk through with a trash bag too. If you're cleaning a small home or apartment and don't have space to store the basket of clutter, you may need to take the time to put everything away. Try to make it a race and see how quickly you can put it all away. Walk through the space with a laundry basket or hamper and toss in all of the dirty clothes you find. Put the basket in your laundry room or in a closet, if you don't have access to a laundry room. If you have the time, quickly sort the clothes and toss a load into the machine. The clothes will wash while you're cleaning the rest of your home. Walk through your home and gather all of the dirty dishes that are in each room. Quickly put dishwasher-safe dishes in the machine and set dishes that have to be hand washed in the sink. You can run the dishwasher if it's full, but save washing the dishes in the sink for when you have a little more time. Once you've cleared your space of excess items, take a soft microfiber cloth and dust areas that look grimy. Try to work from the top down so that dust is knocked down towards the floor that you haven't cleaned yet. Additionally, work left-to-right or right-to-left so you don't accidentally clean the same spot twice.  For example, if you have dirty blinds, swipe a microfiber cloth over them before you dust the coffee table below it. Try to dust noticeable places like televisions, corners of rooms, blinds, and dark furniture.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сложите в корзину все вещи, которые нужно рассортировать. Соберите грязную одежду в корзину для белья. Уберите грязную посуду. Соберите заметную пыль и грязь салфеткой из микрофибры.


Take a moment to steady your hands. Reach down and grab the ring with the index finger and thumb of one hand. Use the index finger and thumb of your other hand to grab the bead. If you have difficulty manipulating the ring with your hands in this position, try placing both hands on the ring itself, positioning your fingers on the opposite sides of the bead or ball. Holding both pieces of the ring, twist slightly and apply measured force until the ball comes free. Make sure that you have your fingers on the ball as it comes free, or you might drop it on the ground or on the table. Once the ring and ball are separate, set the ball on the table.  With traditional captive rings, tension is the reason that the ball stays in place in the ring. By twisting the ring, you loosen this tension just enough so that the ball can move or drop out. If you accidently drop the ball or ring, make sure to sterilize the jewelry again before continuing. With both hands on opposite sides of the opening in the ring, carefully twist the two ends in opposite directions. Turn your right hand clockwise and your left hand counterclockwise. The ring should look like a slight spiral. When twisted into this shape, it should be easier to slide into your piercing. Insert one open end into your piercing. Glide the wire of the ring into the piercing until the center of your ring rests inside. The opening of the ring should lie directly across from the piercing itself. You may need to use your fingers to support the skin around the piercing as you slide the jewelry in place. Grab one side of the ring with the index finger and thumb of your right hand. Grab the other side of the ring with the index finger and thumb of your left hand. Apply pressure with both hands to twist the two ends back into place. Your right hand should move counterclockwise and your left hand should move clockwise.  When done, the ring should no longer look like a spiral. There will still be a slight gap in the center, but otherwise, it should be back in the shape of a...

Take an absorbent rag or towel and soak it in white vinegar. Make sure that the entire towel has absorbed the vinegar, not just a section of it. Wring it out if it is excessively dripping, but make it as wet as possible. Take the rag and wrap it around the tap. Use rubber bands to hold the rag in place. Make sure that the entire surface of the metal is touching the rag. Leave the rag wrapped around the tap for an hour. After an hour, remove the rag. You should notice that your faucet looks much better! Use a clean cloth to remove the last remnants of limescale and vinegar. Use a Q-tip to get at hard to reach nooks. Sometimes the head of the faucet needs special attention because it is the place that tends to accumulate the most limescale. If you notice that the rest of the tap looks great but the head still has some limescale, take a small cup of vinegar and submerge the head of the faucet in it.  Wrap a towel around the whole head a the faucet, including the cup, and rubber band it in place. Make sure that the towel is tight around the faucet so that the head of the tap stays submerged. After an hour, remove the towel and the cup from the head of the tap. Use a clean cloth to wipe away any remaining vinegar and limescale. If you're cleaning your sink faucet, turn it on and run it for a few seconds so you don't taste vinegar the next time you use it!

Take beauty lightheartedly, aiming for simplicity and health. When done right, it shouldn't take more than half an hour each morning and night. If you feel your hair looks drab, research your face shape and a haircut that would bring out your best features (ask your stylist for help). Generally you should aim for hair that is clean, shiny and healthy. You can achieve this by washing as needed and conditioning as often as necessary for your hair type. Also, embrace your natural texture and heat-style as little as you can. There are plenty of wikiHow articles that can help you with that. If you drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest and eat healthy, your beautiful skin will shine through. If it still needs some help, get products for your specific problem. A cleanser, toner and moisturizer should solve most of it. A scrub made with sugar drenched in olive oil should wash away blackheads and acne after some uses. You can then keep up the brow grooming yourself with tweezers. Keep lashes lush by applying petroleum jelly every night. If you feel strongly about your eye shape, try simple makeup tricks to make yourself look better like a little liner or producing optical illusions with highlighter. You can improve the looks of nearly anything with clever makeup tricks like wearing darker blush under the cheekbones to make them more pronounced. Be careful when choosing products for facial use such as foundation or blush, ask for help from professionals (but forgo as many products as you can). Also seek help of you are unsure on how to apply makeup. Nothing looks worse than poorly applied makeup, no matter how bad do you think you'll look without it. Then embellish however you like with nail polish or nail art. A weekly manicure done at home is highly recommended, even if you don't paint your nails, just trim and file. First and foremost clean out your closet and research what would make your best features stand out, and dress for your body shape. Then write down a couple outfits to wear when you don't have the...

Take care to wash the wart area and your hands. Most OTC spray kits will come with a canister that contains the cryogen, or very cold compounds. It should also come with a foam applicator. Treatments don't take very long, so make sure you have all the supplies on hand. Always read and follow the specific instructions that came with your kit. Take the applicator, usually a stick with a foam tip, into its handle. Set the spray can so that it sits level on a sturdy surface. You'll want to insert the handle into the top of the spray can. Take care not to hold the spray can near your face. The spray compound is very cold, so take precautions to keep it from accidentally spraying. Keep the spray can on the table and hold it with one hand. With your other hand, press down on the handle till you hear a hissing sound. Keep pressing it for another 2 to 3 seconds. This will soak the applicator with the cryogen. You can now take out the handle with the applicator. Wait 30 seconds. When you look at the applicator, you should see that it's saturated and looks frosty. You might smell the dimethyl ether. Gently press the applicator against your wart. Don't rub, just press. Most kits recommend pressing the applicator against the wart for 20 seconds or less, depending on the size of the wart. Remove the applicator, taking care not to touch it. Throw it away and wash your hands. If the wart is on the top of your finger or toe, slowly move the finger or toe while you're applying the compound. You'll probably feel aching, itching, or stinging.

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте соответствующий участок кожи и запаситесь всем необходимым. Приготовьте набор. Зарядите аппликатор. Нанесите охлаждающее вещество на бородавку.


Take cuttings in the middle of summer when hibiscuses experience the most growth. This will give you a better chance of successfully propagating all of the cuttings. If you wait until the late summer, the stems will be more mature and woody, and they might take longer to root. At the ends of the branches, look for stems that are smooth and dark green with plenty of leaves. A healthy hibiscus will have plenty of new growth to choose from. It's okay to take cuttings from stems that are slightly brown or darker green, but they must be rooted in topsoil to be successful. Using sharp, clean pruning shears, cut the green branches away from the plant at lengths of 4–6 inches (10–15 cm). Carefully collect them in a box or bag for safekeeping while you work.  Avoid taking too many cuttings from one plant, as this can cause the parent plant to look bare or stop growing altogether. Aim to take no more than 5-6 cuttings at one time. After taking the cuttings, wipe the pruning shears with a clean, damp cloth to remove any bacteria and prevent rusting. Removing leaves from the cuttings helps to improve oxygen levels as the plants are growing. Gently snip all of the leaves off with the pruning shears, leaving only 2-3 leaves at the very top of the stem.  If the remaining leaves are very large, cut them in half horizontally to avoid wilting. You should never pull leaves off of the cuttings, as this can cause damage to the fibers in the stem, making growth more difficult. Using the pruning shears, cut  0.25 inches (0.64 cm) off of the bottom of the stem at a 45-degree angle. This will help prepare the stem for rooting. If possible, make the cut through an area where a leaf was growing from the stem. These spots, called “eyes” contain natural growth hormones.

TL;DR in Russian:

Дождитесь лета, чтобы приступить к разведению гибискуса. Выберите ветки с гладкой зеленой порослью. Срежьте молодые стебли садовыми ножницами. Очистите черенки от листьев, за исключением 2–3 верхних. Срежьте основание черенка по диагонали, чтобы стимулировать рост.


Take it, and dry it well. This is a simple magic spell to make a general wish come true. Use it to put your intention out into the universe by calling on the power of the waters and the moon. You can draw your own symbol, or you can look up different symbols that are related to your area of desire (love, family, health, success, and so on). Draw it on the surface of the shell with chalk, charcoal or something else that will wash off in the water. Set it in a spot where the waves will eventually wash over the shell when the tide comes in. The symbol on the shell should be facing upwards—towards the moon. Note the phase of the moon when you do this. Use the waxing moon if you wish to gain something and the waning moon if you wish to get rid of something Your shell should be the center of the triangle. Meaningful phrases and words may be drawn into the sand as well, as long as they are in the triangle. Alternatively, you can write these directly onto the shell. Focus on your wish and try to say the spell with reverence and conviction. Goddess of Moon, Earth, and the SeaEach wish in Thy name must come to bePowers and Forces which Tides do makeNow summon Thy waves, my spell to take As the tide moves in, the shell should wash away, and your wish will be taken by the universe, to the Old Ones or whichever gods you believe in. You should notice results in 7-28 days.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите ракушку в мелководье. Возьмите или создайте сами символ своего желания и вложите его в ракушку. Положите ракушку возле океана или озера. Нарисуйте треугольник на песке. Повторяйте это заклинание, стоя под лунными лучами. Покиньте то место с надеждой, что ваша мечта осуществится.


Take more time to relish in the good things. Slow down and delight in the wonders in the world around you every now and then. Being appreciative can actually increase your life satisfaction.  Go outside and stand in awe of Mother Nature. Listen to the sound of the rustling leaves or the birds in the trees. Feel the sensation of the wind passing over your skin. Choose a morning to eat mindfully and linger over breakfast. Inhale the smell of fresh coffee. Notice the colors, textures and smells of the food on your plate. Chew slowly, savoring the taste of each bite. How does your body feel as you satiate your hunger? Are you excited about any particular food more than others? Humans have a tendency to be biased in their reasoning. Assumptions are one form of biased reasoning in which you believe something to be true based on precedent or your own beliefs. However, this tendency leads to inaccurate and unfair judgments placed on people and situations.  When you notice yourself making rash judgments about people or events that happen in your life, take a second look. Are you basing your conclusions on hardcore facts? Try to reconsider your initial assumption. Recognize that people and situations have a range of complexity far greater than what meets the eye. For example, maybe you've heard a few people complain about a "delinquent" kid on your block. For that reason, you steer clear of him. However, one day you notice him helping an elderly lady unload her groceries from the car. He is polite and responds "yes, ma'am" and "no, ma'am". Now, you don't avoid him so much. You speak cordially when you pass him on the street, and you have found him to be incredibly different than what the neighborhood assumes. You may want to escape your surroundings because your life seems ordinary and colorless. Daring to dream bigger can enrich your outlook and life satisfaction. Give yourself the freedom to envision a future beyond your wildest imagination. Think about your life in the next five years. What are you doing? What does...

TL;DR in Russian:

Цените окружающий вас мир. Отбросьте предубеждения. Представляйте себе свою будущую жизнь. Составьте план действий, который поможет реализовать ваши мечты.


Take out a piece of paper and spend some time writing down why you have hatred towards your ex. This could be because of the things he or she did to you, or the decisions you made while with your ex. Try to be as detailed as possible and do not be afraid to really be honest about your feelings and emotions. It may help to do this over a period of time, adding to it every day until you feel you have rid yourself of every instance of anger or pain you associate with your ex. You may want to detail any infidelity, any moments where your ex made you feel like a lesser person or abused you in anyway. Once you feel you have written down every possible bad moment or feeling of hatred towards your ex, read it over at least twice. Use the document as evidence of your past relationship and how bad you felt during the relationship. When you are done reading it, tear it up or destroy it. This will symbolize you are willing to admit your hatred for your ex and you are choosing to destroy that hatred or be rid of it. If you are seeing a therapist or other professional counselor as you work through your issues with your ex partner, you may want to bring the document to your session and tear it up in front of your therapist. Having a trusted witness to the destruction of the document can help to motivate you to feel you can let go of your hatred. Remember that hate is not a very productive emotion and can often be debilitating to yourself and to those around you. Think about how you can replace your feelings of hatred with excitement about the future or motivation for the next phase of your life, without your ex. Once you commit yourself to letting go of your hatred for your ex, you can move on to other less detrimental emotions like pity, dislike, and even acceptance. You may be afraid to let go of your hatred because in some way it keeps you connected to your ex. Anger can act as a form of negative attachment, as opposed to love or happiness, which are positive attachments. Rather than let your hatred keep you emotionally...

TL;DR in Russian:

Опишите свои чувства на бумаге. Анализируйте собственные чувства. Помогите себе избавиться от ненависти.


Take ownership of your problems instead of blaming someone else for every bad thing that happens to you. When you learn to take responsibility for the circumstances in your life, you have a greater chance of taking action to resolve negative situations. Plus, if you give yourself credit for the good things that do happen, you start to believe that opportunities are possible. Eventually, you start to seek them out. Start taking personal responsibility for your life. Empower yourself by believing that, whether negative or positive, you are responsible for your choices and behavior. And, with this acceptance, you can start taking the necessary steps to shape your life to fit your dreams. A person who is engulfed in the victim mentality may hold on to wrongdoing or betrayals much longer than others. Unfortunately, staying stuck in anger, resentment, or pain only brings a cloud of doom over your own life. As the old saying from Buddha goes, “Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” Forgiveness is a requirement in order to overcome your victim mentality and start making positive changes in your life.  Keep in mind that forgiveness does not mean that you are condoning or even forgetting past wrongs that were done to you. Instead view it as a new lease on life. When you forgive, you release yourself from the pain and choose to move forward. When forgiving, try the following strategies. Think about the upsetting event or betrayal. Try to gain acceptance that it happened to you, and possibly changed you. Consider all the ways you have grown since the event. What did the situation teach you about yourself? Next, think about the person(s) involved. Remember that he or she is human and, therefore, flawed. Try to look at things from the other person’s perspective. What need was he or she trying fulfill when they hurt you? Now, let it go. Take a deep, cleansing breath, releasing the pain and hurt and breathing in hope and forgiveness. You can also perform a ritual to help you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Принимайте ответственность. Учитесь прощать. Учитесь благодарить. Рассчитывайте риски. Принимайте критику и отказы. Укрепляйте веру в свои силы.


Take some time to think about what kinds of changes you want to make to the appearance of your Nerf gun. Do you want to change the colors? The shape? Or just add some minor customizations to personalize your gun? You may want to make a sketch or two to plan out your modifications.  Use your imagination--there are many different modifications you could make, depending on the look you want For the amount of work you are willing to put in. If you need some inspiration, there are many websites where people have posted their favorite Nerf gun modifications, sometimes with tips for creating similar looks. The extent of the changes you want to make will determine the supplies you need and how extensive the project will be. Depending on the type of gun you're starting with, you may wish to add components or even remove parts to create a more appealing look.  For example, some Nerf guns have large stocks that serve little or no function. If you have such a gun, you might want to saw off the stock to create a smaller gun.  On the other hand, you might wish to add visual elements to your gun. You can use super glue, model glue, or rubber cement to add anything from parts of other Nerf guns, small items from toy, craft or hardware stores, or even to custom-created decorative elements, such the foam rubber blade added to a Nerf Maverick shown here. Again, think creatively about additions you might want to make. The possibilities are endless! Many serious Nerf enthusiasts like to create custom looks for their guns with full-body paint jobs. This can be as simple as sanding the gun down and spray-painting it with a color you like.  You must sand all the glossy surfaces down to make certain the spray paint will stick. Disassembling the gun, or at least removing the larger parts and painting them individually, will allow for a more thorough paint job. To get a multicolored look, you can paint your gun one color, let it dry, then tape over with masking tape the areas you want to remain that color. Then, paint the gun with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Наметьте улучшения. Измените корпус оружия. Распылите на пистолет краску. Добавьте дополнительные детали.


Take the cover off of the pan to let the steam escape. Set the heat to low and continue to cook the rice for about 5 minutes. The water should be cooked off by the end. If there is still water in the pan, place a sieve or colander over the sink, and pour the rice into it. Let it drain for a minute. You may want to shift around the sieve or colander to help it drain. At this point, the rice may be saved. You do not have to do anything else if that is the case. If the rice is too sticky or gummy, it means that it is overcooked. After draining the rice, pour a light stream of cool water over the sieve or colander. Gently unstick the grains of rice with your fingers. If the rice is still watery or soggy, you can cook off the extra water in the oven. Set the temperature to 350 °F (177 °C). Spread the rice out evenly onto a cookie sheet or baking pan. Let it cook in the oven for 5 minutes. In some cases, you may not be able to fix the rice. If you have time, make a fresh batch. Store the soggy rice in a plastic container. Place it in the fridge or freezer. You can use it later for some delicious recipes. Cooked rice will last for 4-6 days in the fridge and up to six months in the freezer.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если в кастрюле слишком много воды, ее надо выпарить. Лишнюю воду можно слить, откинув рис на мелкое сито или дуршлаг. Если рис слипся, его можно промыть холодной водой. Чтобы удалить излишки воды, поместите рис в духовку на 5 минут. Сварите новую порцию риса.


Take the time to do a close, clean shave. If you have a beard and/or mustache, trim them to keep your face looking neat and tidy. Short haircuts should get a fresh trim no more than a week before the interview. Longer hair may not need to be trimmed, although if you have split or rough-looking ends, these should be trimmed off to clean up your hair. If you have long hair, wear it in a neat ponytail. When worn down, long hair can make you feel and look very hot. It can cling to your face and neck, adding to the heat you may already be feeling. When your body temperature rises and you start to sweat, your perfume or cologne can become stronger. If you already are wearing strong cologne, it can quickly become overpowering in the summer heat. A slight splash of cologne on your face is likely all you’ll need. Neatly clip and file your fingernails to ensure they look tidy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Аккуратно побрейтесь или подстригите усы и бороду. Подстригитесь. Уберите длинные волосы от лица и шеи. Не используйте слишком много туалетной воды. Подрежьте ногти.


Take time to acknowledge what’s bothering you. Is it an unwanted thought, memory, or image? Is it someone else’s annoying habit? Whatever it is, before you ignore it and move on you first have to know what it is that’s bothering you and why. Keep in mind that some things can be detrimental to ignore, such as medical symptoms or a coworker stealing your project ideas. Accept that you cannot control other people, events, or situations. Rather, you can only control your reactions to them. Remember that you getting annoyed about something will not change the fact that it’s happening, so why bother wasting the energy? Some people find the Serenity Prayer useful for this. You can say, "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." When you’re trying to ignore something and it pops into your head, try to develop a phrase to say to yourself that will replace your unwanted negative thought. It's helpful to replace unwanted thoughts with something more positive and affirming. Some things you might say include:  “I'll give it another try, I can do this." “You've got this." "Keep going." Instead of paying attention to anything negative or annoying in your environment, try to stop and smell the roses. You might not be able to completely ignore the bad things, but you can retrain your brain to focus more on the good things. Try to do this a few times each day and you’ll notice a difference in your mood. For example, take time to notice how nice the weather is outside. Enjoy the feeling and savor the moment for at least 10 seconds. Just relax into the feeling.

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь понять, что вас беспокоит. Признайте факт, что не все находится под вашим контролем. Размышляйте в положительном русле. Сосредоточьтесь на позитивных вещах вокруг себя.


Take time to do the things that make you happy, and anything that helps you clear your head. If you haven’t spent much time away from your partner before, this is a good opportunity to get a taste of what life would be like without them. It can also help you unwind and determine if stress was causing you to question your relationship. Not only can some alone time help you sort out your feelings without any pressure from your partner, but it will give you time to compose yourself and decide exactly how to proceed. If you’re currently in the relationship, use tact when speaking with your partner. Begin your sentences with “I” rather than “you," because you don't want to sound accusatory or hurtful. Instead, discuss how you’ve been feeling in the relationship. If you aren’t currently in a relationship with this person, decide if communicating your feelings is appropriate. It may not be appropriate if it could toy with their emotions, or if they have a new partner.  Once you decide to start voicing your feelings, things may get complicated. Don’t do this unless you’re sure it is something that needs to be addressed. Often times it is easier to write your feelings down so that you can say everything you need to say. Writing a letter can be a great way to communicate with your current or past partner. In other words, get yourself out of the awful gray area. If, after all of this, you want to stay together (or get back together), then do so wholeheartedly. If you want to break up, do so completely. You have to commit fully to whatever you choose! If you are in a relationship yet constantly doubting it, your relationship will suffer. You can’t have one foot out the door and expect love to flourish. On the other hand, if you decide you do not love the person, you must end things completely. You will not be able to start a new, independent life if you continue to ask “what if?”

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте себе немного свободы и личного пространства. Если хотите, обсудите свои чувства с этим человеком. Составьте план и придерживайтесь его.


Take up dancing, join a walking group or buy yourself a bicycle and join a bike club. There is a club for every activity you can think of. Do some research and go for it. You can decide to be miserable or you can decide to move ahead. Do research online and pick a cause.  Meet real people doing real things to help this planet. It's a gold mine. Get to know the staff and invite them to help you find books and resources. You won't believe how much fun the library can be. Plus, there are lots of potential friends at the library. Read the newspaper every now and then and watch a bit of the news every day. Not too much. It can be a little depressing. However, it helps to stay informed and aware of what is going on. If you live in or near a city, explore it. You could take a walking, cycling or Segway tour of areas of the city. Learn its history in depth. Attend more theater, orchestras, cinema, shows and talks. Even movies by yourself can be fun. Go and see new places. There is nothing quite like travel to rejuvenate tired outlooks on life. You will return reinvigorated and ready to try new things. Plus, you may make many new friends and some of them might come and visit you. Visit relatives, long lost friends and other people when you travel. Catch up with people you haven't seen in ages. The way their lives have turned out might give you much perspective. If you don't already have a pet, consider getting one. When you're alone, the companionship is invaluable. Plus, many pets need a lot of interaction to ensure their happiness, which feeds your happiness too. Dogs need exercise daily. Walking your dog twice a day for 30 minutes will get both of you out of the house and can improve your fitness. You may even meet new people! Do a night course or a whole degree, whatever you feel would extend your knowledge and give you a new outlook on life. Maybe you would even like to change your career; this could be a way to meet both your need for change and for finding new sources of friendships.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оставайтесь занятой. Увлекитесь делом и тратьте время на волонтерство. Представьтесь в местной библиотеке. Интересуйтесь миром вокруг вас. Посещайте места. Выберитесь и наслаждайтесь искусством, которое может предложить ваше сообщество. Путешествуйте. Заведите питомца. Вернитесь в школу.


Take your magnetic nail polish off with nail polish remover once it becomes chipped, damaged, or simply unwanted.  Use the same nail polish remover and cotton balls, cotton pads, or other materials that you’d use to remove regular polish. It may take more material and time to remove the thicker magnetic nail polish. You may want to have remover and cotton on hand when you are first attempting application of the magnetic polish, as you may need to remove it from a nail if you mess up before starting again.

TL;DR in Russian:

Когда потребуется, снимите лак с ногтей.


Take your parchment paper, which is also sometimes called ironing paper, and place it over the beads on the pegboard. You should be careful when doing this so that you don't accidentally knock any beads out of place. Heat a dry iron to a medium setting, then slowly run it in a circular motion over the parchment paper. You'll have to continue this for about 10 seconds for the beads to stick together.  The amount of time this takes can vary depending on factors like the kind of iron you are using. You may want to remove your iron at intervals and check your design every five seconds. Applying too much heat could turn your design into a Perler pancake! If you have an iron with a steam function, you should be sure this is turned off when heating your beads. Hot steam could affect the outcome of your design. Wax paper can be used when heating your Perler beads, but this can leave a waxy residue on the finished product. Parchment paper, on the other hand, will not. After allowing a little while for the beads and board to cool, you should flip your peg board over. This will make the beads fall off the board and expose the un-heated side of your beads. Place the parchment paper over your beads, and heat the beads in the same fashion you did before. Use medium heat, a dry iron, and circular motions for about 10 seconds. Take the parchment paper by one corner and peel it away from the pegboard. Your beads will be quite warm right after you finish ironing, so you should allow a few minutes to cool before handling your Perler art. Your Perler bead design is now ready to show off! Remove it from the pegboard and show your friends the design you have created.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прогрейте бусины с одной стороны. Прогрейте бусины с обратной стороны. Отделите от поделки бумагу и дайте ей остыть.


Taking in a stray is drastically different than taking in a sheltered cat. Your new cat will likely be more timid and more insecure about space and territory. Create a designated cat room so the cat feels comfortable in your home and, in turn, comes to trust you.  Have supplies like food, water, bedding, toys, and a litter box in place. Anything you can think of to make your cat feel comfortable and secure is a necessity.  This room should be in a quiet portion of the house and should not be used by humans until your cat has adjusted to his new home. Provide a chair or couch with a blanket hanging over it so your cat has a place to hide when he feels threatened.  Spend time in the room every day so your cat gets used to your presence. Knock on the door before entering, and say something like "Coming in" in a soft voice. Stray cats need time to adjust to human interaction. Do not try to force anything too soon, and let your cat take the lead when it comes to interaction.  Avoid eye contact. Cats often stare at humans, but do not engage in a staring contest with a stray cat. Staring is a sign of aggression. To communicate to your cat that you do not intend to harm him, close your eyes for a few moments and then look away.  Let the cat approach you. Wait for a cat to make physical contact with you before you attempt to pet him. Cats indicate friendliness by rubbing up against people and gentle nuzzling. Wait until you get such a gesture before trying to touch the cat.  If your cat wants to hide, let him. He might want to stay under a couch or chair for a few days, only coming out to eat. Allow him to do so, and do not try to coax him out before he is ready. When your cat opens up to physical contact, avoid touching his stomach. The stomach is a vulnerable area for a cat and touching it could be a major setback in earning his trust. After your cat has spent a few weeks in his safe room, and seems comfortable in your presence, allow him to explore the rest of the house.  Let your cat move independently. Allow him...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выделите для кота отдельную комнату. Уважайте кошачьи барьеры. Познакомьте кота с остальным домом.


Taking showers instead of baths is recommended if you have repeated episodes of cystitis, or bladder and urinary tract infections. After a bowel movement, women should wipe from the front to the back. This helps to prevent bacteria from entering your urethra, and moving into your bladder. Teach children to wipe this way, too. Try not to hold your urine for long periods of time. By urinating often, you help to continually flush out your bladder. By doing so, you can help to prevent the unwanted bacteria that may be transferred during sexual activity from spreading into your urethra and bladder. If possible, use warm water to wash your genital area before having sex. Drinking at least 6 to 8 glasses of water each day keeps the fluids moving through your urinary tract. This helps to prevent bacteria from growing and causing an infection. Wear cotton panties and avoid tight fitting clothing and pantyhose. Allowing your genital area to be exposed to air helps to cut down on sweating and moisture build up that can contribute to the growth of unwanted bacteria. Many feminine products affect the pH balance of the urinary tract. Some women may also be more sensitive to chemicals, fragrances, etc. used in these products and develop an allergy-like reaction to them. Particularly if you get cystitis frequently, eliminate the use of these products.  Don’t douche. Douching disrupts the natural balance of "good" bacteria and acidity in the area.  Avoid feminine hygiene deodorants or sprays in your genital area. Avoid bubble bath or scented granules. Change tampons or pads frequently during your periods. Use a water-based lubricant for sexual activity if you experience vaginal dryness. Avoid lubricants that are silicone or petroleum based. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to have on hand if you know sexual activity is a trigger for your infections. A single dose following sexual intercourse has been shown to help prevent this type of infection. Your doctor may also prescribe a single dose to be taken...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позаботьтесь о гигиене. Чаще мочитесь. Мочитесь до и после секса. Пейте достаточно жидкости. Носите правильное нижнее белье. Избегайте некоторых средств для женщин. Держите антибиотики под рукой при рецидивирующем цистите. Принимайте пробиотики. Лечите запоры.
