If you feel overwhelmed and stressed, this can tax your body and emotions to the point where they feel numb. If stress is taking all of your body’s resources, you may feel depleted and not be able to connect in an emotional way. if you’re dealing with stress and need a positive way to cope with it, try   daily yoga and meditation. You can also do other relaxing activities such as journaling, listening to or playing music, or taking a walk. Don’t turn to mind-numbing activities like watching television or playing video games to deal with stress. Cope with your stress in a positive way that enhances your life. Make a list of all the things you feel are fun, or creative things you’d like to do. Put your favorite activity at number one. This list could be anything you enjoy and would like to incorporate in your daily life, such as taking classes in knitting or crocheting, painting or drawing, inspirational journaling or writing, or going fishing, attending a community event, etc.  Hang this list in a place where you will see it daily and start checking it off as you go along.   These creative and fun hobbies will help you relax and cope during times when you are having a hard time with emotions. They help you to remain active and avoid isolation, and some of them, such as painting, drawing, or writing can be used as a form of self expression to release pent up emotions. Doing artistic or creative activities tells your mind that you are taking care of yourself. It allows you to safely process emotions you may be experiencing or have been suppressing. Share your creativity with those friends or family members whom you feel closest and most comfortable with. Don’t ignore what your body needs, even when you feel numb. You might lose your appetite or feel withdrawn from people or the world at large. Even so, pay attention to what your body needs. Eat a healthy diet and schedule regular meals. Get good quality sleep, about 7-9 hours each night. If you’re suddenly over-sleeping or under-sleeping, you might want to speak...

TL;DR in Russian:

Учитесь бороться со стрессом. Чаще веселитесь и занимайтесь творчеством. Заводите полезные привычки. Не употребляйте алкоголь и наркотики.


If you feel pain in your lower back that radiates along the path of sciatic nerve (through the buttocks, thigh, and lower leg), you may be suffering from sciatica.  Sciatica pain is often described as sharp, burning, needlelike, or tingling. In some cases, sciatica can be more localized around the buttocks, with radiation in the thigh, but no pain at the lower back. The specific pain pattern will differ from person to person, and is mainly tied to the underlying cause of the sciatica. Pain is usually present in one leg, but can affect both in some cases. Muscle weakness can occur during sciatica, due to the irritation and inflammation of the nerve.  Pain and muscle weakness can be so severe that it can affect your lifestyle and daily activities. The pain could be triggered by walking, bending forward or backward, and prolonged sitting or standing. In some cases, pain can get worse even with coughing, sneezing or hard laughing, although it usually recedes after. If your symptoms become especially acute, it is necessary to seek medical attention to prevent complications from developing. These signs include:  Progressive weakness or numbness in your lower leg or thigh Inability to control your bladder or bowel movement

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за болевыми ощущениями в пояснице. Обратите внимание на любую новую мышечную слабость. Обратитесь за немедленной медицинской помощью, если вы столкнулись с вышеперечисленными симптомами.


If you feel pain, tenderness, or discomfort when you push the hernia, stop pushing and call for medical help. Hernias can block blood flow within the abdomen which can cause a medical emergency. Pain can indicate:  A hernia that's become trapped in the abdominal wall. A hernia that's become twisted and strangulated, which cuts off the blood supply. If this happens, tissue dies and can cause gangrene. While you can push a hernia back in and use a support to relieve discomfort, surgery is the only permanent treatment for hernias. Discuss whether you'd like to consider this as an option. Keep in mind that most hernias are not medical emergencies, but they can become medical emergencies. There are no medications to treat a hernia. Your doctor may recommend putting you under general anesthesia and performing open surgery. With this traditional approach, a surgeon opens the abdominal wall and repairs the hernia before closing the wall. Or, your doctor may recommend laparoscopic surgery in which small fiberoptic tools attached with a camera repair the abdominal wall. Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive although you'll also need to be under general anesthesia. Recovery time is much shorter than with open surgery. After surgery, take pain medication and gradually return to your normal activity level within 3 or 4 days. You might feel sore or have nausea (from the anesthesia) which will wear off after a day or two. You should avoid strenuous activity like lifting until your doctor approves. Ask your physician when you can resume activities like sex, driving, and exercising.

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте, в каких случаях требуется срочная медицинская помощь. Проконсультируйтесь с врачом. Сделайте операцию. После операции следуйте рекомендациям врача.


If you feel ready to turn down the romantic interest of someone after a couple of dates or a handful of social interactions, you’ve hopefully already thought through the consequences.  You should be confident that this guy/girl isn’t for you, and accept that any existing friendship may never be the same (or even survive).  Make sure you also prepare for the act of rejection as well.  Think about what you'll say beforehand. Don't just tell them a straight out "no"; try to explain it in a way that's not harsh or cutting. Choose your words carefully.  If you want to practice beforehand in the mirror, or with a sympathetic friend or sibling, do it.  Make sure you are getting your message across clearly but compassionately. Be prepared to adapt, though, based on his/her reactions.  You don’t want to sound like you’re reading from a script.  Practice adjusting to various scenarios. While it’s natural to want to put off unpleasant tasks, you’ll only make things worse by waiting once you know you want to end things.  The longer you drag things out, the more likely the other person will think things are going great, making the rejection even more surprising and hurtful.  Pick a good time to do it -- maybe not the person’s birthday or the night before a big test or job interview -- but don’t keep waiting for the “right time.”  The right time is now. If you’re already in a long-term relationship with someone, many of the tips expressed here will be helpful, but there are unique challenges as well.  Take a look at How to Break Up or How to Break Up with a Guy Nicely for ideas. Of course it’s tempting to get it over with by text, email, phone call, etc., but bad news is best delivered in person, even in the modern digital age.  This is especially true if you’re dealing with a friend you hope to keep as a friend.  Show your maturity and respect.  A face-to-face rejection allows you to immediately see how the other person is reacting to the news -- surprise, anger, maybe even relief -- and lets you adjust accordingly.  Find...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте себя. Не откладывайте. Сделайте это лично. Подготовьте человека к тому, что собираетесь сказать. Будьте честны, но милы. Дайте ему/ей время переварить это. Стойте на своем и не сдавайтесь. Не заканчивайте разговор на горькой ноте. Уделяйте особое внимание другу/подруге, который(ая) хочет большего.


If you feel that you made a mistake in the relationship and have attempted to make amends, move on. Don’t be hard on yourself for things that you cannot change.  To help alleviate guilt, try reminding yourself what you did right, either in the relationship or outside of it.  Envision a time when you were supportive, loving and loyal to those around you. Determine who is behind the guilt that you’re feeling. Are your friends wishing you would get back together with your ex or is he manipulating you in some way? Determining which feelings are someone else’s and which are your own is important for figuring out if the guilt is warranted or not. If you had a favorite restaurant that you frequented together, make it a point to still eat there. Make reservations to go with friends in order to create new memories. This will keep you from limiting yourself and letting your sadness dictate your actions. If you shared a mutual friend with your ex who you still care about, try not to let the nature of the friendship change now that you’re no longer together. Remember that starting a new relationship doesn’t mean it will end like your last one did. Concentrating on how you feel you were wronged will make you appear bitter and unpleasant to be around. If you hold onto these feelings, you could miss the opportunity to meet someone amazing in the future. Allow yourself to learn from past mistakes, but understand that no two men are the same. If you begin to notice an unhealthy pattern within your relationships, consider how you can avoid this. Whether it’s being taken advantage of, or letting a negative side of your own personality take over, recognize that failure to change this habit will result in a similar outcome.  If the type of man that you’re drawn to keeps hurting you, address the reasons behind why you're drawn to this type of relationship. Talk with those closest to you who saw the nature of your relationship first-hand. Ask them for help in constructively evaluating what went wrong with your ex. Chances are that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не зацикливайтесь на возможном чувстве вины. Не следует избегать места или людей, которые напоминают о бывшем парне. Не позволяйте затянувшемуся негативу мешать вам знакомиться с новыми людьми. Не нужно повторять ошибки и ждать других результатов. Не ищите поводы для общения с бывшим партнером. Не пытайтесь забыться с помощью алкоголя или наркотиков.


If you feel that you would feel sexier by making changes to your body, begin by reviewing your diet. A poor diet can not only contribute to an undesirable weight, but it can also affect your energy and mood. If you find that your diet consists of food that does not benefit your body, begin to make changes. Reduce your sugar intake, and try to eliminate processed foods. Make sure that you get your recommended daily intake of fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.  Changing your diet doesn’t have to mean eliminating all of the food you love. Instead of having a chocolate bar every day, reserve a special day or two to eat one. Exercising is great for your mood as well as your body. Exercising is important even if you don’t want a dramatic weight loss. Look for a physical activity that you enjoy. Try running, dancing, tennis, or swimming. Do that activity at least twice a week if possible. You can make the activity fun by doing it with a partner. Do a quick workout the morning or hour before you will be naked. This will temporarily tone your body. Go on a quick run, do a set of weights, or do a set of lunges and pushups. A happy, healthy mindset will help you feel sexy and confident. If possible, take a few minutes out of every day for self-care. If that’s not possible, set aside an hour a week. You can take a warm bath with scented oils, try out a face mask, or work on meditation. Do whatever makes you feel calm and happy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пересмотрите свой режим питания. Найдите физическую активность, которая приносит вам удовольствие. Сделайте быструю разминку перед раздеванием. Выберите время для ухода за собой.


If you feel that your device has been stolen, do not try to retrieve it yourself. Instead, report it to the police and let them take care of the problem for you. Trying to retrieve your phone yourself could land you in serious trouble, and may even cost you your life. The speed with which you need to do this and the extent of it will depend on how much you use your phone for online interaction. For some, this may be very little, while for others, it could be a huge task. You may also want to cancel any credit/debit cards that were registered to any online stores through that device (like the App store, for example).  If you're worried that the phone is in someone else's hands, the sooner you do this the better, as identity theft is a serious and widespread issue. It's better to take the time to reset your passwords and logins before physically hunting further for your phone. This will minimize the potential damage someone could do with access to your information, and if you do find your phone then using new passwords is only a minor inconvenience. Start with your most important passwords. This typically includes email, bank accounts, Facebook, and online storage. Deal with financial and personal information first. After you have changed your major passwords, you can reset passwords for less important services. Have your account details handy, so that your account can be closed down. You may need a password or passcode, if you designated one for your account. Having your service provider cancel the phone will help keep someone (whether a thief or someone who finds your phone) from making unauthorized calls with your SIM card. If you have a phone that is paid by usage rather than prepaid, and you cannot find it within 2 hours, it usually is a better idea to call your phone company immediately and tell them to deactivate your phone. Visit the police station. Smartphone insurance providers will often want a police report, if you intend to file a claim through your pre-paid insurance option. Some phone companies...

TL;DR in Russian:

Действуйте с умом и оставайтесь в безопасности. Измените логины и пароли. Свяжитесь с вашим оператором мобильной связи. Сообщите о краже смартфона в правоохранительные органы.


If you feel the need to cheat or manipulate the test, one thing that most people recommend is to cause yourself mental or physical stress when you are expected to give the answer to a control question. This will give you a higher baseline, so when you tell lies relevant to the case or situation, any spikes in your responses might be smaller than the spike you just created during the control.  Think of a frightening or exciting thought when you recognize an obvious control question. You can also make your heart rate and perspiration increase by trying to solve a somewhat difficult math problem in your head. Try dividing 563 by 42, or some other similar problem. When asked a question relevant to the case or situation, put yourself in a calm state of mind when you answer. By staying as calm as possible, you can prevent many major spikes in your physiological responses.  Essentially, a “lie” only counts if that lie generates a greater physiological response than that which you had while you were telling “white lies” with the control questions. As long as your physiological response to a question and answer produces a less noticeable reaction than any reaction you displayed while answering the control questions, it will probably not count against you. Maintain your breathing pattern and keep in mind that the polygraph is not infallible, and that you are in control of your own physiological response. Daydream about something soothing, like cuddling under a warm blanket with a cup of hot chocolate on a cool night, or taking a relaxing shower or bath. If the examiner catches you trying to cheat the test, you might be asked to schedule another test or the examiner may take countermeasures against further acts of manipulation. Moreover, attempts to manipulate the test might cause the examiner or reviewer to judge your results more harshly once you finish.  For instance, do not stick a thumbtack in your shoe and attempt to press down on it to spike your vitals during control questions. Oftentimes, an examiner will have...

TL;DR in Russian:

Создавайте себе стрессовое состояние, отвечая на контрольные вопросы. Сохраняйте спокойствие, отвечая на значимые вопросы. Не используйте уловки, которые легко заметить.


If you feel you made a painful mistake by having the relationship, allow the pain to stop you from making the same mistake in the future.  There are reasons for certain rules in life. Following them will steer you toward pleasure and away from pain. Follow this simple yet profound principle to ensure a bright future. Relying on yourself will help you cope with the dissolution of a relationship. You know what makes you happy, so participate in activities that increase positive feelings. Psychologists and Psychiatrists are available in your local area and can be located through the American Psychological Association    and the American Psychiatric Association.. You are here to live life and enjoy it. Standing up for yourself will remind you that you deserve to be happy, and the world will notice. When you reach a level of healing after a bad experience, other people perceive a positive change. You sent up a flare to signal that you are ready for good things to happen. People might say things like, “Did you do something different? You look great.” Your response can be, “Thank you. Yes, I decided to be happy and it is working for me.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Учитесь на своих ошибках. Полагайтесь на себя в методах по преодолению трудностей. Если вам трудно справиться с ситуацией самостоятельно, обратитесь за профессиональной помощью, чтобы понять, какие изменения необходимо внести в свое поведение. Боритесь за себя и за ту жизнь, которую хотите иметь.


If you feel you need to apologize, be specific about what you're apologizing for. Make sure it's sincere: what are you really sorry about? For example, if you've been ignoring your friend because you're spending all your time with a new love interest, it isn't appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person. Instead, talk about how you're sorry you haven't been making time for your friend. It's probably best to talk in person if you can: body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings. However, if that's not possible, call your friend to talk. If you ask to meet, try to avoid vague phrases like, "We need to talk." These can put your friend on the defensive. Instead, try a more emotionally rooted approach like, "I miss you," or "I was just hoping we could spend a little time together." If you're too shy or your friend won't see you, writing a short note can help break down the barrier. Sometimes expressing yourself on paper is easier than in person. Try to be simple and straightforward; at the end, suggest a casual, no-pressure meeting, such as going for coffee or a walk.

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите заранее, что вы скажете другу. Позвоните другу или предложите ему встретиться. Напишите письмо.


If you feel you really need seasoning, use fresh herbs to season your food. Drink your water cold, warm or hot. Once per day, choose a sparkling water to add variety, if desired. It is acceptable to have one cup of unsweetened chamomile tea per day, if desired.

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте орехов, семечек и масел. Откажитесь от сушеных трав и приправ. Не пейте ничего, кроме воды.


If you feel your boyfriend is being disrespectful, learn to assert yourself. In the moment the disrespect occurs, let him know you will not tolerate it. You do not have to be aggressive or mean. Simply state your needs in a calm fashion   When your boyfriend is being difficult, say so in the moment. Calmly let him know what he's saying is not respectful and you don't appreciate it. Do this in a calm fashion to avoid escalating the argument. For example, your boyfriend is on your case about you going out with friends from work because he feels these friends are not responsible. Say something like, "I appreciate your concerns, but I know how to stay safe. I'm allowed to have a social life and I need you to respect that." If your boyfriend is chronically disrespectful, he may not always listen when you assert yourself. Instead of hearing your needs and backing off, he may become hostile or even aggressive. For example, "I don't care what you think you need. I don't want you going out with those girls from the office." In this case, just walk away.  You need to back up your words with behavior. If you want your boyfriend to respect your social life, and he isn't, show him you won't tolerate this lack of respect. Say something like, "You're not listening to me and this isn't getting us anywhere. I'm going for a walk." Then, leave for a few hours to give your boyfriend a chance to calm down. Living with a chronically disrespectful person can drain your self esteem. You may start to feel you are not worth things like love and respect. This is not the case. Everyone has worth, so remind yourself of yours when necessary.  Most people have some areas in their lives they could use to improve. However, this does not mean you don't deserve love or respect. Just because you're, say, a little messy does not give your boyfriend the right to yell at or berate you constantly. Remind yourself of of this. Adopt a personal mantra. Try something like, "I matter. I deserve respect. I deserve love." If someone keeps disrespecting...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если это необходимо, начните самоутверждаться. Если парень не проявил уважения, закончите разговор. Напомните себе о чувстве собственного достоинства. Подумайте о том, чтобы отдохнуть от таких отношений.


If you feel your child is ready for the truth, there are different ways to approach the conversation.  Explaining who "Santa" really is rather than simply saying he isn't real can help make the transition a lot easier.  Whether you're religious or not, explaining to your child how Santa Claus came to be as we know him today and the history of the tradition, all the way back to the real Saint Nicholas, may lessen any disappointment they feel and encourage them to help others. You can shift their imagination's focus from the Santa Claus seen in malls and on television to the exciting and robust history of Santa, a history that goes all the way back to the actual person, Saint Nicholas. Your child might be interested to know that people celebrate Christmas all over the world and that each tradition has its own version of Santa Claus. This will reinforce the idea that Santa is not any one person, but a holiday spirit and tradition that is appreciated by people across the globe.  In many parts of Switzerland, for example, a large parade is held in which people march with artistic representations of Saint Nicholas.  There are instruments, animals, children, and processions in the parade, not to mention the 1700 people walking in the main parade. In the United States, Santa Claus has become a symbol of generosity, jolliness, and giving.  He travels the world in one night, leaving presents under the Christmas tree for all good children. In Austria, on the other hand, children leave their empty shoes outside their bedroom doors or on windowsills to find them filled in the morning by St. Nicholas. Your child is likely to be just fine upon hearing the truth about Santa Claus and will not need reassurance or have an emotional response.  However, some children do feel confused or even betrayed, and that's perfectly acceptable.  Fortunately, if there is any negative reaction, it should not last very long.  Don't force your child to explain why they feel badly.  They might not even know the words for what they're feeling. ...

TL;DR in Russian:

Расскажите историю возникновения образа. Расскажите о разных традициях. Приготовьтесь к проявлению эмоций. Выберите нечто среднее.


If you feel your pulse rate quickening, or your bicep flexing, you might be brushing too hard.  Enamel is broken down via "toothbrush abrasion" and exposes dentin.  If you're brushing vigorously, it could lead to increased tooth sensitivity and receding gums. Teeth whitening products often use hydrogen peroxide which wears down the enamel and could penetrate into any existing decay or inner areas of the tooth.  Aside from potential pain and sensitivity, whitening does not affect various dental restorations such as crowns or porcelain veneers, which could cause multi-colored teeth, negating any vanity aspects of the procedure. Symptoms vary according to the nature, frequency and duration of excessive clenching and grinding. Aside from general sensitivity, grinding can include pain in the teeth, chronic muscular facial pain with tension headaches, flattened tooth surfaces, micro fractures of the tooth enamel, broken or chipped teeth, pain in the jaw joint that cause restricted opening and difficult chewing. If grinding is an old habit, you might usually have an increased development of the masseter and temporal muscles that change the look of your face, making your face seem muscular and always tense. Post dental treatment sensitivity can be created by inflammation and very subtle movement within and between teeth.  If you recently had a procedure done at the dentist, there is a possibility of sensitivity. Acidic foods and drinks (e.g. tomatoes, pickles, fruits, soda) can wear down enamel if consumed regularly and in abundance.  They may also be the culprits behind some acid reflux, which can also erode enamel.

TL;DR in Russian:

Почистите зубы. Перестаньте пользоваться товарами для отбеливания зубов. Перестаньте скрежетать зубами. Взгляните на календарь. Измените режим питания.


If you feel your resolve wavering, remember that no good will come out of staying in an unhealthy relationship. You'll only feel trapped and resentful if you stay. Someone who tries to manipulate you by threatening self-harm will eventually find other ways to manipulate you, too. Your boyfriend or girlfriend is putting you in a terrible emotional position by threatening suicide if you break up, but that doesn't make their actions your fault. Remind yourself that they are their own person. You can't control them or make decisions for them. If you are struggling with guilt after the breakup, it may be helpful to talk to a  counselor. After you end the relationship, move on and don't look back. Avoid getting back together with your ex, even if you miss them. Both of you need time and space to grieve the loss of the relationship, and dragging the breakup process out will only make healing more difficult for both of you.  You should remove them from your social media profiles. Ask mutual friends not to talk to you about your ex. If you need to communicate with your ex, choose one way that they can reach you, such as by text or by email. You do not have to go through this breakup alone. Reach out to friends and family members for help and support. Ask them if they are willing to talk with you when you are feeling down. If you have second thoughts, they can convince you that breaking up is for the best.

TL;DR in Russian:

Напомните себе, почему вы решили расстаться со своим партнером. Не чувствуйте вину за решения и действия другого человека. Поставьте точку в этих отношениях. Положитесь на поддержку ваших друзей и близких.


If you fill the cupcakes while they are still warm, the filling will melt and turn the cupcakes gooey. You can bake the cupcakes from scratch using your favorite recipe, or you can bake them using a boxed mix. Snip off the bottom of a piping bag first, then insert a decorating tip into the bag. A small, sound tip will work the best, but you can use a larger star-shaped tip as well. Smooth fillings, such as custard, puddings, buttercream frosting, or whipped cream will work the best. You can also try jam or jelly, but make sure that it's not the chunky kind, otherwise you might clog the tip. Push it into the cupcake by about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). You do not need to cut a hole into the cupcake first. Depending on the size of the cupcake, you should be able to squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling into it. If the filling starts to leak outside of the hole, stop; you have filled the cupcake as much as possible. Use a piping bag and a large round or star shaped decorator's tip to pipe buttercream frosting onto the cupcake. You can also use chocolate ganache. Glace icing made from powdered sugar and water is not recommended, however; it is too thin and will sink into the hole.

TL;DR in Russian:

Испеките кексы и дайте им полностью остыть. Наденьте кондитерскую насадку для декорирования выпечки на кондитерский мешок. Наполняйте мешок 1–2 столовыми ложками выбранной начинки. Вставьте насадку в верхушку кекса. Выдавите начинку в кекс. Смажьте кекс глазурью или украсьте на свой вкус.


If you find a baby bird all alone in its nest, don't assume its mother abandoned it. It's more likely she's off getting food for her baby and will return soon. No matter how much it's chirping and crying, never remove a baby from its nest. Think of it as kidnapping. A nestling is a young bird that hasn't grown feathers yet. They sometimes fall out of their nests, which puts them into danger. The best thing you can do for a nestling is to NOT take it home, but try to return it to its nest.  Search nearby trees and bushes for an empty nest. If you can find one, place the bird back into its nest so it can wait for its mother to return. Remember to be gentle when handling it! Birds can be quite good at hiding their nests in nature. If you can't find the nest, you should still try to reunite the baby with its mother by making a manmade nest for it to wait in.  Fill a small box or bowl with dried grass or paper towels, and place the bird in its makeshift nest. Do not use fresh grass, because that could make the baby bird cold You can also use a basket with a handle, then hang the basket from a nearby tree branch. Leave this "nest" where you found the bird. Wait to see if a parent bird comes by to take care of the baby. If, after waiting for an hour or so, you haven't seen any parent birds come to take care of the baby, you should reach out to experts. Licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialists will be best equipped to keep the baby bird healthy and happy.  If you can’t find a rehabilitator on your own, call vets, bird stores or the local Audubon Society and ask them to put you in touch with one. The wildlife rehabilitator will want to know where you found the bird, so he or she can return it to its home when it's healed. Be as specific as possible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не забирайте птенца из гнезда. Верните выпавшего неоперенного птенца в гнездо. Создайте импровизированное гнездо для птенца, если вам не удастся найти его настоящее гнездо. Вызовите профессионалов, если родители птенца не вернутся.


If you find a bunch of maggots in one part of your house, collect them with a broom and dustbin. Put them in a sealed garbage bag. Freeze them in the bag for at least sixty minutes. Then, put them in the outdoor trash can. Freezing is the most humane way to kill maggots. Use a broom to wipe the boric acid into the carpet fibers. A natural insecticide, boric acid should kill the maggots. You can purchase boric acid at hardware stores, large department stores or online. Thoroughly vacuum every nook and cranny of your carpeting. Pull out the vacuum bag and seal it in an airtight plastic bag or container. Freeze it to kill the maggots. Then, immediately put it in the outside trash container. Freezing is the most humane way to kill maggots. Purchase or rent a carpet steam cleaner from your local hardware or drugstore. Renting is usually relatively cheap and is an invaluable tool for getting rid of maggots. Make sure that the insecticide you choose is safe for your carpets and non-toxic to humans and animals. Following the directions on the label, mix the insecticide solution with hot water. Then, add it to your steam cleaner reservoir.  You can even use pet shampoo that contains an insecticide. You can use permethrin to remove indoor maggot infestations. Run the steam cleaner over all of the carpeted areas of your house at least twice to draw out the maggots and exterminate them. Dispose of the used water outdoors in a sealed container if possible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Соберите опарышей и заморозьте их. Посыпьте ковер борной кислотой. Пропылесосьте ковер. Используйте пароочиститель. Приобретите инсектицидный раствор для пароочистителя. Почистите ковры паром.


If you find a guy who you have a lot in common with, don't wait for him to ask you to hang out. If you are scared to ask him because you think he doesn't like you, ask anyway. It's scary, but it won't hurt you, and you only stand to gain in the long run. He might also be shy, so he might not be the one to approach, either because he thinks you're out of his league or because he fears you might reject him. . Flirt with him to let him know that you're definitely interested. Lean in during conversations, touch him casually and lightly, and compliment him (do so honestly, people can always tell the difference). . If all else fails and he's still not asking you out on his own, go right ahead and make your move. You don't want him to get away! Have a date in mind (something that will appeal to him) and go straight up and ask. Try to be confident, as most people find this attractive.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не бойтесь сделать первый шаг. Заигрывайте с ним Пригласите его на свидание


If you find a large honeybee on the ground during the spring, when the weather is just starting to have warmer days, it may be a queen honeybee!  If she stopped hibernating too early, she may have gotten caught by colder weather than she expected.  Feel free to bring her inside to warm her up and feed her. However, you should plan to release her in a day or so – her nest’s survival likely depends on her return. It is usually only the queen honeybee that survives the winter.  She carries the responsibility of establishing a new colony the following year. Unless someone you live with is allergic to bee stings, or the hive is dangerously close to somewhere you need to go frequently, let it be.  The hive will only be there for one season, and it’s value as a pollinator is increasingly significant in the context of declining bee populations. In fact, most individual honeybees only live for a few weeks. More directly, choose plants for your garden that bees love. Large scale agriculture has increased honeybees’ dependence on cultivated crops, so providing uncultivated foraging areas is increasingly important. In particular, plant sweet clover, Dutch clover, alfalfa, purple vetch, birdsfoot trefoil, and partridge pea on your land.  Allow trees and bushes such as linden, black locust, honey locust, Russian olive, wild plums, elderberries, red maples, willows, butterfly bushes, and honeysuckle to blossom as well. Contact your local natural resource management office for information about what you can plant to help the honeybees in your area. While you may need to apply an herbicide or pesticide to target another type of pest, mowing or tilling the weeds the weeds in your yard first will decrease the likelihood that you end up killing bees when you apply a pesticide. This is especially important if the weeds are blooming. In particular, mow fields with lots of milkweed, smartweed, and dandelion before applying any chemicals.  Otherwise, these plants will likely be covered in bees!

TL;DR in Russian:

Присматривайте весной за пчелиной маткой! Не избавляйтесь от пчелиного гнезда на своем участке. Помогите пчелам с пропитанием. Скашивайте сорняки или вырывайте их с корнями.


If you find a nest of baby wild rabbits and the mother is not around, or if you see tiny baby wild rabbits hopping around on their own, you may think they are orphans. More times than not, however, this is not the case—their mother is simply not at the nest and will return later. It would be better for you to be certain whether the babies are orphans before attempting to feed and care for them.  Wild rabbit mothers nurse for short periods during the night and early dawn, then leave the nest during the day. Therefore, it would not be surprising if you did not see the mother with her babies during daytime hours. If the babies’ tummies look nice and plump, you can be confident that their mother is caring for them. If you look closely at their bodies, you may be able to see a ‘milk line’ through their skin—evidence of nursing.  If you want to be sure the mother is around, you can place string in a grid pattern over the nest. Arrange the string in the evening and check it in the morning. If it is disturbed, then the mother has returned to the nest. Baby wild rabbits who appear cold, weak, dehydrated (loose skin stays tented when you pinch it), or injured are likely orphaned. Since baby wild rabbits are extremely difficult to rehabilitate and care for, you should  contact a wildlife rehabilitation center as soon as possible. In the event that you are not able to get to a wildlife rehabilitation center right away, you may need to provide at least initial care (food, general comfort) to the orphaned baby wild rabbits. Regular goat milk is frequently recommended for baby wild rabbits. Kitten and puppy milk replacers are also good choices.  Milk replacers are available at your local pet stores. You may be able to find regular goat milk at your local grocery store. If it is not available there, ask the grocer where you can find it. Cow’s milk and human baby formula (Pedialyte) are not recommended for feeding baby wild rabbits.  If the baby wild rabbits are cold prior to you feeding them, warm them up by placing them in...

If you find any of the signs or symptoms of throat cancer and/or are someone who is at risk for the disease, schedule an appointment to see you doctor as soon as possible. If diagnosed early enough, throat cancer is very treatable, with a rate between 50 to 90% depending on the stage at which your doctor diagnoses the disease.  You can see your regular doctor or an otolaryngologist, or ear-nose-throat doctor. If necessary, your doctor can send you to other doctors or specialists. Your doctor will most likely conduct an exam of your oral cavity and throat. She may also health history, which can include factors like your health habits and any past illnesses.  Your exam may include having your doctor examine your throat with a lighted scope called an endoscope. If your doctor suspects that you have developed throat cancer, she will probably order additional testing. Tests such as a biopsy or scoping can confirm a diagnosis of throat cancer.  The most common test for throat cancer is scoping. Your doctor will insert a small lighted scope, called an endoscope, into your throat or voice box and examine them through a video that the scope transmits.  Your doctor may also perform a biopsy, where she removes cells or tissue from your throat and then sends them to a laboratory for furthering testing.  In some cases, doctors will also prescribe imaging tests such as CAT scans or MRIs. Imaging tests can help your doctor determine how much throat cancer has spread.  In the event that tests confirm throat cancer, you may require additional tests which can determine if the cancer has spread to other areas of your body.  Additional testing may include a lymph node biopsy or more in-depth imagining tests. If your doctor discovers throat cancer, she will prescribe a course of treatment based on the extent to which the disease has spread. There are several treatment options and they can be successful if your throat cancer is diagnosed early.  Your doctor will prescribe a treatment based the stage at which your cancer is...

If you find any signs or symptoms of male breast cancer and / or are at risk for it, visit your doctor as soon as you are able. Early detection and diagnosis can significantly increase your chances of successful treatment and survival.  Make sure your doctor’s office knows why you are scheduling the exam so that your doctor can provide prompt attention to your symptoms or concerns. Tell your doctor about any symptoms of male breast cancer that you have including changes to your breast appearance and the way it feels. Alert the doctor to any lumps or irregularities you felt during a breast self-exam. Since there are other reasons for breast changes in men, giving a thorough and honest history is important and should include any medications, herbs, or supplements that you are taking or receiving from other professionals. Not providing proper information could hinder your doctor’s ability to diagnose cancer or another condition. If your doctor suspects breast cancer, he or she will likely perform a clinical breast exam and order further testing. Tests including biopsies and imaging tests can better help your doctor diagnose breast cancer, determine the extent of the disease, and develop the best treatment plan for you.  Allow your doctor to examine your breasts and perform a clinical breast exam. Like a self-exam, a clinical breast exam will include your doctor using his or her fingertips to feel for lumps or other changes in your breasts and surrounding tissues. The exam can also tell your doctor things such as the size of any lumps, the way they feel, and their proximity to your skin and muscles. Make sure to let the doctor know if you experience any pain during the exam. Get imaging tests including mammograms, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs if your doctor prescribes them. These tests can help your doctor more closely look at tissue irregularities and determine the extent of any cancer you may have. Have a biopsy to remove lumps or suspect breast tissue. Biopsies, where a fine needle is inserted into the...

If you find it difficult to be around the annoying person often, you may need to set boundaries so you do not end up getting too emotionally involved. Setting boundaries for yourself is an important coping mechanism and will ensure you are not put in situations where you might come into conflict with the person.  You may try to limit the amount of time you spend with the person, such as only chatting to them briefly in the morning at work and leaving the office for lunch. Or you may only answer their calls or texts when you have free time rather than answering them right away. You may also try to remain calm and detached when they speak to in meetings or social situations where you cannot excuse yourself. Doing this can set up personal boundaries for you to help you cope with the person's irritating nature. For example, if the annoying person starts talking too loudly at a family dinner, you may try to stay detached and focus on something else in your mind. This will allow you to block out the person and stay calm. You should also focus on the positive when you are around the person and try not to let their mood dampen yours. Being positive and proactive, rather than angry and reactive may discourage the person from trying to annoy you or bother you.  One way you can appear positive is by maintaining open body language. This means maintaining eye contact with the person and nodding to show them you are not fazed by them. You should also keep your arms relaxed and by your sides. Avoid responding to the person with a passive aggressive comment or a snide remark. Instead, say something simple and polite like, “Thank you for sharing that with me” or “Sounds great.” If you are unable to handle being around the annoying person, despite trying to remain positive, you may want to avoid being around the person. Keep your distance and look for ways to avoid spending time with the person. Sometimes the best way to cope is to separate yourself from the person and take some time away from them. You may try to keep your...

If you find mature termites, there are probably larvae somewhere in the colony. While there are a few different types of adult termite, you can typically identify them by their pale, soft bodies. Worker and nymph termites look like larger versions of the larvae while soldiers have a dark, hardened head. Only the reproductive termites that lay eggs have wings. While you may need a professional exterminator to find most termites, you can do a basic check inspection to see if you can notice any signs of infestation. Start by inspecting window sills, window and door frames, support beams, and places where concrete structures join wooden ones. You should also check in the basement, in crawl spaces, under the porch, and anywhere that moisture is present. Use a flashlight to peer into cracks and dark spaces. Note that termites often live deep within the walls, and they can infest a home for years without being noticed. Just because there are no external signs of termites does not mean that you do not have them. Using a screwdriver, gently tap the wood or surface of a wall. Listen for any hollow or rustling noises coming from inside the wood. This may indicate that there is something living inside the wood. Termites may build mud tubes to travel between areas of their colony. These may look like branches or lines of mud crawling up the wall or foundation. You can break a tube open to see if there are any termites inside. Note that if a tube is empty, it may still mean that there are termites elsewhere in the building. Termites can live deep within a structure, and they often keep their larvae within the most protected parts of their nest. To measure the extent of the problem, you should consult with a professional pest control company. They will be able to tell you if you have termites or another pest. They can also identify the larvae for you.  Contract a reputable company and explore a liquid barrier treatment or the installation of termite bait stations. If there are any areas where moisture is building up, they...

If you find mice that have been orphaned, they’re probably in desperate need of food. Try to get them fed as quickly as possible. They’ll need to be fed liquid nutrients with droppers, since they’re still very young and would normally be nursing. By feeding them as babies, you're getting them to think of you as a mother, which is key to taming them from a young age.  Feed baby mice every two hours. This can become tiresome, but it’s what’s necessary to keep them alive until they’re weaned. If there’s another nursing mother nearby, they should be nursed by her. Mice are good mothers and will nurse babies that aren’t their own. Assuming there’s not a nursing mother nearby, the best things you can give the babies are goat milk or kitten formula. Do not try to feed them cow milk, as it’s very hard to digest. Baby mice will not automatically urinate or defecate. They need to be physically encouraged to do so. Rub gently on their abdomens and their genitals to induce urination after eating. This is another way to gain their trust and develop their dependence on you, making them tame.  The best way to do this is with a warm, damp washcloth. Do this each time the mice feed until you notice that they urinate on their own after eating. Normally, baby mice would be kept warm by their mother’s body heat. You need to simulate this as best you can. Create a nest for them that is between 75°F (24°C) and 90°F (32°C).  The mice must be kept warm at all times. A good option is a plastic critter carrier lined with a towel. Then, place either a hot water bottle or an electric heating pad (set on the lowest setting) under the towel. Give the mice a cooler area within their space that they can move to if they get too hot. Diarrhea is a common problem for baby mice and can be serious. The baby mice can become dehydrated and die. Luckily, you can treat diarrhea in mice with over the counter treatments that are suitable for humans. When you care for your baby mice in this way, they continue to have positive associations with you as...

If you find out someone has been practicing mind games on you, or someone you know, and has done it well, figure out what made that person so successful. Study their mannerisms and words to figure out their technique. Be sure to study the person you are trying to play a mind game with, so that you know how that person thinks. This will allow you to take the best approach for getting this person to take part in your game. A lot of people are easily responsive to emotional situations and hardships. For sympathetic and empathetic people, you will want to play to their emotions by having them feel bad for you. This will lead them into helping you however you say you need it. This tactic requires you to gain the sympathy of the other person. You need to act like you are a perfect, moral person who keeps being victimized by the evils of the world, and you just don't know why. This will make someone feel obligated to give in to any requests you may have. Simply pretend to be ignorant, and say, “I just don’t know what I keep doing wrong. Why do bad things keep happening to me?" Pretend like you are genuinely confused as to why things never work out for you. When you know that someone is sensitive to guilt, be sure to play on that weakness. Guilt can weigh very heavy on a lot of people, and they will do their best to avoid that feeling. When you go to ask for a favor that someone may not want to do, you can attempt to guilt trip that person into doing it. Here are some things you can say if someone turns you down:  "I knew you would let me down." "I am not surprised that you won't do it, I am used to it." If you find someone who goes by fact, and does not believe in something unless there is evidence to back it up, then you need more than emotions to mess with this person. Figure out a way to back up what you say with reason or logical benefits to be more convincing. For example, if you want someone to eat more healthy, explain how unhealthy food leads to health problems, and that vegetables can add years to your...

If you find out your child or student has lice, it's important to check to see if your family or other students have been infested. Let your family or classroom know about a possible lice infestation and urge them to get them checked.  If you find lice in your home, it's important to treat everything in your home to ensure the lice does not infest others in your family. Even the sheets and rooms of non-infested people must be cleaned. If you're treating a child or student with lice, it's most likely you will have come in contact with lice as well. Get yourself checked for lice before, during, and after their treatments. Remove all clothing worn by you or whoever is infested with head lice and wash all garments in the hottest water setting possible. If a garment can't be washed, isolate it in a garbage for several days to weeks to ensure all lice is dead. Since there is nothing the lice can feed on, the lice will eventually die. You can purchase over-the-counter or prescription lice medication at your local pharmacy which may sometimes be called pediculicide. Be careful to read and follow the instructions of the medication.  If you or whoever is infested with lice has long hair, you may need more than one bottle of medication. Do not use shampoo or conditioner or wash your hair for 1 to 2 days after using lice medication. If you can still see lice moving around in your hair, do not retreat. It can take a while for the medication to kill all the lice. If you still see lice moving around after 12 hours, call your health care professional. They may recommend you do a second round of treatment or prescribe you a different lice medication. Most lice medications will come with a comb or you can purchase a comb specifically made for checking for lice. Since all the lice are dead and you aren't able to wash your hair for the next few days, it's important to comb out the dead lice and eggs from your hair. Flea combs for pets are a great alternative to lice combs. Even if treatment was successful, it's important you...

TL;DR in Russian:

If you find partway through applying bleach to your hair that you don’t have enough to cover your entire head, it’s not the end of the world.  If you run out of the mixture but you still have all the ingredients you need, quickly mix this together and then continue applying the bleach to your hair. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes for you to make the mixture. If you need to go buy more ingredients, complete the bleaching process for the hair that you’ve covered in bleach (allowing it to sit on your hair until it’s blonde or until a maximum of 50 minutes have passed — whichever comes first). Then at your earliest opportunity, buy more materials and apply the bleach to your remaining unbleached hair. Ideally you’ve worn old clothes and protected them with a towel. If for some reason bleach gets on something you care about, you can try to remove it using the following method:  Apply a clear alcohol such as gin or vodka to a cotton wool ball. Rub the stain and the area around it with the ball; this should move some of the garment’s original color over to the bleached area. Keep rubbing until the color has covered the bleached area. Rinse well in cold water. If this doesn’t work, you might consider bleaching the entire garment and then dyeing it with a fabric dye in a color of your choosing. If you bleach your hair and after 50 minutes the color is nowhere close to blonde, don't panic. This is a common occurrence for people with darker and/or stubborn-to-dye hair. It may take you a few attempts to get your hair the color you want it.  If you need to bleach your hair a few times to get it blonde, be sure to give yourself at least two weeks in between bleachings. After each bleaching, pay close attention to the quality of your hair. If it begins to feel very damaged, you’ll need to wait longer before you try again. Your hair should feel fairly healthy before you apply more bleach to it, otherwise you’ll risk it breaking off or falling out. After a few root touch-ups you may find that your hair has developed...

If you find that idealistic representations in the media are having a negative effect on your self-esteem, it may be a good idea to decrease your exposure to media and social media outlets. Limit your time spent on social media websites, or eliminate it altogether. Delete or disable your social media pages. If you don’t want to completely disable or delete your Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account, then limit the time you spend each day, or each week, checking up on your accounts. For example, keep it to 10 minutes a day or 30 minutes a week, but use caution since even small amounts of exposure can lead to negative comparative thinking. Limit your exposure by avoiding fashion magazines, reality television shows, certain movies, and music, etc. If you found yourself frequently comparing you to a certain model or athlete, avoid magazines, shows, or games that feature them. Even temporary exposure to media depicting ideal images has been shown to impact self-esteem and self-image negatively. This can even put you at risk for rumination and depression symptoms. Idealistic images in the media cannot always be avoided, so be aware if you're comparing yourself to them. Think about the realities of those seemingly perfect people or things.  For example, if you envy the perfect relationship that a friend has with her spouse, remember how difficult it was for her to find that partner and the challenges she may have faced. Empathy will replace jealousy. If you see someone with the body, car, or life you want, try to think of actions you can take to get yourself closer to these goals and write them down. Find ways to use them that will enrich your life. Follow educational, informative, or inspirational pages. If you want success, follow entrepreneurial accounts. If you want to achieve a better physical condition, follow fitness and healthy eating pages. If you want to improve your mind and personality, try following brain and psychology-related accounts.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ограничьте просмотр средств массовой информации. Избегайте СМИ, которые показывают идеальные образы. Начните думать реалистично. Используйте СМИ в положительном русле.


If you find that pornography is ending up on your computer, either willingly or unwillingly, you'll want to start avoiding pornography by cleaning up your computer. You'll want to start by deleting any pornography saved onto the computer itself. After that, there are a few other things you can do, depending on the problem that you're having:  Clear your browser. Clear your browser's cache, history, as well as your Google search history. If your computer remembers you visiting porn sites (even if it was by accident), it will think you want more porn and display more advertisements for pornography and unsafe sites. Check for viruses. If you notice that you get porn pop-ups even when you're visiting trusted sites or maybe even as soon as you open your internet browser, you might have a computer virus. Call an expert to get the virus removed and then install anti-virus software that can protect you for the future. Be careful about what search terms you use and websites you visit. Some phrases are frequently attached to pornography and some websites are more likely to give you viruses and lead to pornography. Turn on Google Safe Search to protect from unsafe searches and try to only visit sites that you absolutely trust. There are a number of ways in which you can set up a censor that will keep you and others safe from pornography on the internet. You can block all but a few sites, only sites that are marked for adults, or you can just block certain sites. Choose a method that is right for your needs:  Use StayFocused. StayFocused is a browser add-on for Chrome browsers that allows you to control what websites you can access and how much time you can spend on those sites. It's great for policing your own behavior, if you're the one struggling with porn. Alternatively use Stop Procrastinating App that allows you to block internet access or filter websites on all web browsers, not just Chrome. It is impossible to get around and also offers users goal setting options to help them focus psychologically on breaking...

If you find that she’s on her best behavior when you are around that is a good sign. However, don’t take it to heart if she is brief with you sometimes. She might seem in a hurry or she might not want to be around you right at that moment. Sometimes she might just be grumpy or having a bad day. Pay attention the theme of your conversations, not one specific instance. For example, if she tries to engage you in interesting conversations then she probably thinks you are interesting. If you're always the one to talk to her, she might assume she doesn’t have to put any work into the relationship. Talk to her a few times and then leave the door open for her to start a conversation with you. If she doesn’t then she probably doesn’t want to talk to you anymore.  For example, if she asks you how your soccer game went or your piano recital it means she is paying attention to your interests. That's a good sign. If she likes you, she might ask for help on a lot of things. She might ask you for help on the new homework in the hall, just so she can get closer to you.  She might ask you a lot of questions about your interests. She might even just say something about how she’s excited you’ll be living in the same neighborhood next year, or something like that. Keep an eye out for these clues. If she is a straight A student, and she asks you for the history assignment, she probably already has it and she just wanted to talk to you. But be careful, she might really need help, so don't get your hopes up too high. This sounds simple, but honestly sometimes the simplest clues are the most important ones. If she is nice to you and asks questions, she probably likes you. There’s a myth that sometimes girls will act mean to you to get your attention. That’s not true. They might tease you flirtatiously, but they aren’t going to outright insult you. Take the teasing in stride because it’s probably a good sign.  For example, if she teases you for being late to school that day she might like you. If she tells you you're dumb because you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Послушайте, каким тоном она с вами разговаривает. Дождитесь, пока она сама завяжет с вами разговор. Следите за вербальными жестами. Следите за тем, как она относится к вам.


If you find that you are a bit smelly, hop in the shower if you have the time. Body odor is created by bacteria that cause you to smell, so rinsing your body (and the part that smells worst in particular) can help to get rid of the smell quickly. However, it's important to use soap or an antibacterial detergent when you wash yourself, rather than just rinsing with water. When you shower, be sure to use a cleansing soap to lather up your underarms, groin area, and feet, along with any other problem areas you may have. Antiperspirants form a block using certain chemicals (like aluminum) against sweating and perspiration, which helps to eliminate body odor. Many of these antiperspirants last all day, but you may need to reapply, especially if you've been doing something like exercising.  Unlike a deodorant, antiperspirants actually eliminate the perspiration, while deodorant simply masks the smell. There has been a lot of talk about whether antiperspirants that contain aluminum cause breast cancer, or Alzheimer's, but medical research has never adequately proven a link between the two (or between breast cancer and parabens), so it should be safe to use. Sweating isn't bad for you (unless it's in excess and indicative of a larger problem) so you don't want to eliminate it entirely. Sweating serves the very utilitarian purpose of cooling your body down, but you can manage your sweating so that it doesn't happen at inappropriate times. Deodorant covers up the smell, or eliminates it entirely, while not getting rid of the moisture itself. Some deodorants last longer than others. If you are looking for a quick fix to your body odor problems, apply any deodorant that you can find. If you are looking to stay smelling fresh for longer periods of time, consider investing in a quality deodorant. If you are at home and don't have any deodorant or antiperspirant on hand, try mixing one teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide with one cup of water. Stir the mixture together and then dip a washcloth in the solution. Rub the wet...

If you find that you cannot overcome your sadness on your own, talk with a mental health professional. A trained therapist or psychologist can work with you to learn new ways of thinking and coping. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an approach that has been shown to give people to the tools to handle depression.  This practice focuses on using techniques to help people focus on the present, rather than getting carried away with negative thoughts. It can be used in conjunction with medication as well. In some cases, people suffering from sadness or depression begin to feel better by taking medication. Antidepressants can help alleviate chronic feelings of sadness or depression.  Your doctor may prescribe a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram, and escitalopram. SSRIs generally cause fewer side effects than other antidepressant drugs.  Your doctor may prescribe serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as duloxetine, venlafaxine , desvenlafaxine, and levomilnacipran.  Norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), such as bupropion, are not generally associated with the sexual side effects of other anti-depressants.  Tricyclic antidepressants are generally prescribed when other anti-depressants haven’t worked. These drugs-- including imipramine, nortriptyline, amitriptyline, doxepin, trimipramine, desipramine, and protriptyline—can have significant side effects.  Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a last resort antidepressant. MAOIs, such tranylcypromine, phenelzine, and isocarboxazid, are also generally prescribed when nothing else works. Be aware these drugs can have serious side effects. You and your care providers may want to consider other treatment options if medications and lifestyle remedies are not working. From hospital stays to transcranial magnetic stimulation, these alternative treatment options may help you stop feeling sad.  If you are not able to properly care for yourself, you and your doctor may want...

If you find that you experience insomnia regularly, you may have an underlying illness or condition that requires professional treatment. Speak with your doctor. He or she may prescribe medication for your insomnia, or diagnose you with an underlying condition that causes insomnia and assign treatment for that. There are numerous over-the-counter medications available for helping alleviate insomnia, such as antihistamines and melatonin. Speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before purchasing one to ensure that you are selecting the right pill for you.  Do not rely on over-the-counter pills. Not only does the body become immune to them after a certain amount of time, but they may also have negative side-effects. Over-the-counter medications are intended to help you sleep, but not resolve your insomnia. If you are already taking prescribed medication for some other condition or ailment, consult your doctor or pharmacist first to ensure that the sleeping aid does not react negatively with your current prescription. When you see your doctor regarding your insomnia, he or she may prescribe you some medication. Take your prescription according to the directions your doctor or pharmacist give you.

TL;DR in Russian:

If you find that you have too much energy during the day, you may be consuming some form of a stimulant.  Try to reduce your coffee intake. This is the most popular stimulant used by adults. You may think that you need your morning coffee in order to power through the day. Chances are, if you feel really hyper throughout the day, you may be overloading. Try cutting back on your coffee. Go from 3 to 2 cups a day and see if there is a change. If you are more of a tea drinker, do the same for tea. Caffeinated sodas can also be the culprit. Reduce the amount of soda you drink in a day. Drink water instead. Eat less chocolate. Just like with coffees, teas, and sodas, chocolate won’t necessarily lead to hyperactivity, but it can certainly give you a rush of energy that may be interpreted as such. The primary concern with sugars is that they get into your bloodstream quickly. So if you eat a lot of sugary foods, you are constantly feeding your body a source of quick-burning energy. If you normally get really hyper after lunch, reduce the amount of sugar you take in at lunch. See if this helps. Many parents and medical practitioners agree that lab created colors and additives may lead to slightly higher levels of hyperactivity in children. There is no definitive study that points to artificial coloring or additives as a cause of hyperactivity. Studies that do exist rely on subjective findings, in part, because they have to rely on parents to describe the changes in their own children. Other opponents point to the fact that most food items with artificial ingredients are also loaded down with sugar. The stimulant sugar may be the cause of the increased hyperactivity. Eat a lot of fish, like salmon and tuna. Many leafy green vegetables also contain fatty acids. These fatty acids facilitate the transfer of neurotransmitters in the brain. When your neurotransmitters function improperly, it can cause hyperactivity and loss of concentration. Oftentimes, omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and ADHD are mistaken for one another....

If you find that you regularly irritate others, you might want to work on changing parts of your behavior. Start by thinking more positively. If your thoughts are positive, you are more likely to behave in an optimistic and approachable way. Every evening, think of three good things that happened today. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can help you feel better and share these good feelings with others. An instructor can help you better identify the behaviors you need to work on and what you can do instead. You will be able to practice communicating well in a positive environment with other students who are trying to improve.  Look online for classes, seminars, or workshops in your area. You may be able to take a class at your school. Check with local therapists to see if they offer group workshops. A common reason that people get irritated is when they are treated rudely. Try to always use good manners so that you don’t upset someone. Don’t interrupt, always say please and thank you, and greet people in a friendly way. You can also be polite by respecting other people's’ personal space.  Be attentive to others. Show that you are listening by maintaining eye contact (or looking at them) and asking questions when appropriate. . Pay attention when they talk about how they feel, and take their emotions seriously. People deeply appreciate people who make them feel heard and understood. Making a habit of validating people's feelings can go a long way to helping them feel comfortable around you, and helping them enjoy spending time with you. It can be really irritating if someone is constantly talking about themselves. If you've realized that you are guilty of this, figure out some ways to correct the problem. For example, ask other people questions about themselves. If you're talking about how much you loved Breaking Bad take time to ask the other person what their favorite show is.   If you notice you've been talking about yourself a lot, pause and ask a question about the other person, such as "So how has...

If you find that your fountain has developed noticeable algae, the first thing you need to do is thoroughly scrub the individual components of your fountain. Take your fountain apart and clean each surface using soap and hot water and allow to air dry before reassembling. Wipe down the fountain with distilled white vinegar or a solution of 1 cup of bleach per gallon of water before soaping and rinsing the fountain. Rinse bleach thoroughly. Unlike preventative treatments, algaecides are meant to kill off existing algae growths within a fountain. Algaecides are available in home improvement stores as well as online and specialty retailers.  Check the algaecide bottle to see how to properly use the product. Check the bottle to see how much product should be added to the water and at what frequency. Non-metallic algaecides work better in fountains as they are less likely to stain. If heavy algae growth continues for extended periods in your fountain, consider replacing the pump to get better water movement and circulation. You may be able to do this yourself, or you may want to call in an expert depending on the size of your fountain and your level of experience. Fountain pump systems can differ greatly. Check with your manufacturer to see what components your fountain requires.

TL;DR in Russian:

Почистите фонтан. Используйте альгицид. Замените насос.


If you find yourself caught in a lightning storm, the key to minimizing danger is to get inside a protective structure. While most people seek shelter if lightning appears to be near, people commonly wait too long to seek shelter. If you can detect lightning, it may be close enough to strike you. Don’t wait for it to strike right next to you (or on top of you) to get to safety. Never stand under a tall or short tree, and avoid being close to power lines as they're both excellent conductors of electricity and could potentially cause death, if not serious injury. Find shelter near or under a stony shelter such as a cavern.   Substantial, frequently inhabited buildings (those grounded with plumbing, electrical systems, and, if possible, lightning rods) are best. If you can’t find a substantial structure, get in a car with a metal roof and sides. If the car is struck, the metal body will conduct the electricity around you, not through you. Make sure all windows are rolled up and doors are closed. Be careful not to lean against any metal -- if you do, the lightning will be conducted into your body if it strikes the car. Do not use the radio. Avoid small structures, such as stand-alone public restrooms. Open covering and rain shelters are also not suitable. These structures will attract lightning and provide no protection, making them more dangerous to be around. Standing under a tree is a very bad choice. Lightning strikes tall objects, and if the tree you are standing under is struck, you may be struck as well or injured by the tree. Bring in your pets. Doghouses and other pet shelters are not suitable protection against lightning strikes. A pet leashed to a fence has a much higher risk of getting struck by lightning. Keep windows closed, and try to stay within inner rooms of the structure. Windows provide a direct path for the lightning to travel. Using a landline phone is the main cause of lightning-related injuries in the US. Lightning can travel into the home from through any material that conducts...

TL;DR in Russian:

Быстро найти укрытие. Не стойте у окон. Не прикасайтесь к металлическим предметам и электрическим приборам. Оставайтесь в укрытии.


If you find yourself consistently missing out on opportunities because of your fear of heights and have already tried facing your fear, you might want to consider more long-term options. Explore these options in depth realizing they may help you seize opportunities. Studies have shown that various forms of treatment you might encounter in therapy, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), are helpful in managing specific phobias like acrophobia. . There are numerous schools of psychotherapy, ranging from the traditional psychoanalytic method to existential and alternative approaches. The goal of any therapy program should be to help you safely and gradually lessen your fear while teaching you how to control your anxiety. Therapy may or may not be coupled with medicinal treatments. Ultimately, you must decide which type of therapy is the best option for you. But, there are things you should consider when choosing a therapist, including:  Accreditation. Before beginning a therapy program, look into the education and certification of those therapists and counselors you are considering. Try to find a therapist or counselor who is licensed in his or her field, and with some type of expertise in phobia/anxiety treatment. Experience. Try to find a therapist who has been in practice long enough to generate a number of happy, healthy former patients. If you can, talk to some. Ask them how effective and comfortable their experience was and whether they would recommend their therapist. Think twice about therapists who seem inexperienced or are unable to back up claims of success. Method of treatment. Most reputable therapists use modern, scientific techniques that have been subjected to peer review in legitimate medical publications. But, holistic and alternative methods have been researched and are widely effective for some people. Once you think you've found a suitable therapist, schedule a meeting and see if the therapist is a good fit. Different therapists may take different approaches to tackling your fear. But,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте, что вы можете и чего не можете. Выберите психотерапевта, который вам подходит. Запишитесь к психотерапевту и расскажите о своей проблеме. Научитесь приемам, позволяющим контролировать страх.

If you find yourself constantly annoyed by the person and their bad habits, find some ways to calm down so that you’re not always upset while at home. Start by taking some deep breaths to calm your mind and body. Breathe in slowly, then exhale slowly. Do a few cycles of deep breathing and notice how you feel. If you don’t feel calm, keep doing more breaths until you do. Especially if you’re avoiding the person you live with because you don’t get along, it’s likely you’ll want to find ways to de-stress. Practice activities known to lower stress such as yoga and meditation. Making time for fun is a great way to relieve stress and have a good time. Exercise is another way to de-stress and keep your body functioning well. If you don’t like going to the gym, try hiking, biking, or dance classes instead. Try not to get too wrapped up in the drama with the person you live with and let go a bit so you can have some fun. Spending time with friends can get you out of the house and help you connect with people who care about you. Whether you need to vent about the situation or spend some time away from it, your friends are there to help. It can be helpful to talk to a trusted friend about what’s going on at home. Getting support from friends can be cathartic, even if they can’t help improve your living situation. See this time as an opportunity to spend more time on yourself. Try new things on your own and spend some time getting to know yourself. Some alone time might even be good for you: solo time can help you better know yourself and increase your productivity.  Do solitary activities such as writing in a journal or creating art. If you don’t have your own room, spend time alone by going on walks or spending time outside. If your living situation only compounds your stress and you’re struggling to manage, consider talking to a therapist. They can help you cope with stress and manage your emotions better. They can also help you learn skills to interact differently or more productively. Find a therapist by contacting...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте несколько глубоких вдохов. Регулярно выполняйте упражнения для снижения уровня стресса. Проводите время с друзьями. Проводите время в одиночестве. Поговорите с психологом.


If you find yourself falling asleep after eating sweets, try exercising. A gentle walk or a full-blown workout can help energize you. Try going for a short walk around your office building if your afternoon treat leaves you feeling lethargic. If you find yourself crashing, it’s easy to reach for another cookie or energy drink for a quick boost. Avoid doing this, as you will only cause your blood sugar to peak and then crash again, possibly leaving you more tired. Dehydration can often mask itself as a sugar craving. Before you indulge in a sweet treat, try drinking a large glass of water or a cup of tea to see if hydrating can curb the craving. Another way to overcome the sleepiness brought about by consuming too much sugar is to step outside. Sunshine can warm and invigorate you. Spending time in the sun will give you an added boost of vitamin D, a nutrient that is essential to overall health and wellbeing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Двигайтесь. Старайтесь не есть добавленный сахар. Выпейте стакан воды или чашку чая. Впустите солнечный свет.


If you find yourself getting stuck by the introduction and it is preventing you from writing the rest of your paper, skip it for now. Just write your thesis statement at the top of your paper and start on your body paragraphs.   You may find it easier to write your introduction after you finish your essay, after you know what you end up saying with your essay. It is more important to get into a groove with your writing than to write each part in the order that it comes in the essay. An introduction should introduce your topic, state your argument, and provide your reader with the context of your essay. If sentences in your introduction do not help with any of those goals, they are likely unnecessary. A hook, often the very first sentence in your paper, is a sentence or two that “hooks” or grabs the interest of your audience. Commonly used hooks may be good for novice writers, but some college professors think that certain hooks are overused.  A few ideas for hooks follow.   A statistic (particularly one that seems surprising to the reader) can be a good way to start certain types of papers. Be sure the statistic is from a reliable source, like one from your school’s library database. A personal story or anecdote told in detail can draw the reader in. It should, however, be relevant to the topic, and you will need to explicitly connect it to your thesis statement. This may not be appropriate in a formal essay. A quotation from a famous person can be a good lead-in. However, since this is one method that has been overused, try putting a twist on this method by using a surprising quote, contradicting the quote, or using it in a new context. You will also need to connect this to your thesis clearly. Illuminating a paradox or puzzling scenario could draw your reader in by making them question something that is usually taken for granted.  Try to avoid introductions that start by giving a dictionary definition of a word and explaining it or by asking a question. Avoid over-used and essentially empty phrases like...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пишите введение в последнюю очередь. Держите в уме цель введения. Придумайте «наживку». Перейдите к тезису.


If you find yourself in a tense situation, the best thing you can do is to try to defuse the situation. In order to reduce the tensions, keep your cool. Staying calm can have a calming effect on the people around you.   Take a deep breath. If you feel yourself tensing for a fight, focus on your breath. Breath in slowly, and exhale slowly. Take a moment to think. If someone starts teasing you in the hallway, your impulse might be to take the bait. Instead, pause. Say to yourself, "If I fight, someone will get hurt and probably in trouble. I'm going to stay calm." Make it a habit to breathe and think before speaking or acting. Your actions might result in others staying calm, too. A great way to defuse a dangerous situation is to draw attention to something else. For example, if someone pushes you in the cafeteria, don't respond to the physical aggression. Instead, look for a way to shift the attention.  Try saying something like, "Didn't the bell just ring? I'm going to have to ignore you and head to Spanish." You can also change the subject completely. If someone bumps into you aggressively on the way to class, turn to a friend and say, "Did you see that baseball game last night?" Shifting the focus can help to ease tensions. By paying attention to something else, you are decreasing the likelihood of a fight. A good laugh can instantly lighten the mood. If you find yourself in a situation where a fight could arise, try to say something funny. Using humor to defuse a situation can be very effective.  If you show that you are relaxed enough to make a joke, the person who wants to fight might back down. Say something funny to ease the tension. Don't make jokes that will hurt someone else's feelings. Instead, try to just find the irony or humor in the situation. Maybe someone is taunting you for studying during lunch. Laugh and say, "It may be boring now, but it will be nice to get into a great college!" If you are self-assured, you will be less likely to feel the need to fight. When you are confident in...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Переключайте внимание. Полагайтесь на свое чувство юмора. Будьте уверены в себе. Научитесь справляться с оскорблениями.


If you find yourself pining to look at your ex’s social media sites, pull out a sheet of paper and write down a list of reasons why your relationship didn't work. This can keep you from jumping to conclusions and missing a bad relationship. Relationships can be intense and a partner can be a significant part of your life. It’s natural in relationships to mention your partner and you may be tempted to do this even after you’ve broken up. However, this can remind you of the person and make you want to find out what he or she is doing. Consciously not talking about your ex can distract you from thinking about the person.  Remember that it’s normal to mention an ex—especially if it is about a good time—sometimes. Avoiding any mention about the person with friends may feel awkward for everyone involved. If you need to bring up your ex as a way to process your feelings, do so but avoid making it a regular habit. Ask your friends to avoid mentioning your ex around you. This may remind you of your ex and could make you want to find out further details on social media. There may be situations, especially with mutual friends, where your ex’s name is mentioned or even discussed. If this happens, step away from conversation until there is a new topic. You may not be feeling great after a breakup. But this can be a great opportunity to lean on and reconnect with family and friends. They can help distract your and provide support if you need it—even to take your devices away so that you can’t stalk your ex. Be open with your support system about your feelings. You can even let friends and family know that you’ve been following your ex on social media. They can offer you a open ear and advice, or remind you that talking about your ex is hurting you. In addition, your support system can do activities with you to distract you from your feelings and social media. It can take a lot of time to get over a relationship. But concentrating on yourself can help distract you from your ex. Do stuff that you couldn’t do with your ex,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не забывайте о причине разрыва. Не упоминайте о бывшем партнере. Положитесь на своих близких. Цените личное время. Знакомьтесь с новыми людьми.


If you find yourself reaching for certain things a lot, make sure they’re accessible. Give some thought to how frequently you reach for certain items on your desk and arrange them in order of importance. By taking this approach, you can streamline the process of finding and using various supplies.  Writing utensils, typing paper, notebooks, communication devices and digital accessories might all be kept out in the open, or somewhere else that you can get to easily. Separate pens and pencils into a cup to keep them together and ready to use without taking up too much space. Leave paper clips and staplers near the printer or wherever you complete paperwork. You can save as much as an hour a day by minimizing the time it takes you to hunt for things in a messy desk. Non-essential supplies that see a lot of use can go in drawers so that you can take them out as they’re needed. Reserve the top drawers of your desk for larger items and things that you use often but don’t necessarily need to keep out on the desktop.  For instance, you might find that you use your laptop, tablet and other electronic devices more often than pen and paper for completing your work. In this case, these secondary materials can be stored away close at hand while leaving your desk clear for your electronics. If you have a lot of smaller items, buy some desk drawer organizer trays. These fit neatly into the drawers of your desk and are made up of compartmentalized sections that let you keep everything organized and visible in its proper place. Make a mental priority list of where things should go in your workspace. If you use an item frequently or it’s important to keep up with, leave it on your desktop. If you have a need for it every now and then, secure it in a nearby drawer. If you rarely use it or it doesn’t really belong on your desk, find someplace else to keep it. Anything you decide to keep but don’t need on hand at your desk should be stored elsewhere so that it doesn’t accumulate and turn into a mess. This includes personal items,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Храните важные предметы под рукой. Сложите часто используемые предметы в верхние ящики. Уберите неиспользуемые вещи. Складывайте бумаги и документы в специальный лоток. Поддерживайте порядок на общем рабочем пространстве.


If you find yourself thinking about that special person more than you think about anything else, you most likely have a crush.  Perhaps you are at dinner with your family but you aren’t paying attention to the conversation because you are wondering what your crush is doing. Maybe you’re hanging out with your friends but secretly you wish that you were hanging out with your crush. When you are going to sleep at night, do you think about what it would be like to kiss your crush goodnight? Do you find yourself bringing that person up in conversation with your friends all the time? A major sign that you have a crush is when your friends tell you that you talk about that specific person all the time. If you feel comfortable doing so, it would be a good idea to talk to your best friends about thinking that you might have a crush on someone. They can help you figure your feelings out and might have some ideas about how to get to know your crush better. Be careful who you talk to about having a crush. Don’t just go blabbing to any random friend about your crush. If you do that, someone might tell your crush and then you might get embarrassed. Only tell your best friends--the friends you can trust the most. Do you have any habits or patterns you have gotten rid of or changed in the hopes of getting your crush’s attention?  Do you walk by their locker a million times in the hopes of seeing your crush? Have you changed the path you take to class because you know he/she walks that way? You have taken a new and deep interest in a subject that you know your crush is interested in, like photography or rock climbing. Often, when you have a crush, you will feel excited when your crush gets brought up in conversation. If someone mentions your crush in passing do you: Feel excited? Suddenly get that feeling like a bunch of butterflies are flying around your stomach? Feel like your heart might leap out of your chest? Blush and giggle? Get tongue-tied and flustered? If any of these things happen, you have a crush on someone....

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о том, является ли этот человек – главным, кто занимает ваши мысли. Отметьте, разговариваете ли вы часто о вашей пассии. Подумайте, изменили ли вы как-нибудь вашу жизнь из-за вашей влюбленности. Присмотритесь к вашей внутренней реакции, когда кто-то упоминает этого человека в разговоре. Уделяйте внимание вашим мечтаниям. Подумайте, напоминают ли вам определенные вещи об этом человеке. Подумайте о том, что вы чувствовали, читая эту статью.


If you find yourself thinking about your job after leaving work, try to avoid this. Think to yourself, "I did what I could today, and now I can relax." When you're not at work, focus on things like your hobbies, friends, family members, pets, and other aspects of life outside the office. You work hard and are entitled to unwind at the end of the day. Try to avoid talking or complaining about your job after work. This only exacerbates the issues, and it’s best not to bring work into your home life. If you're unsatisfied at work, you may internalize these feeling and start feeling negative about your life overall. Strive to remind yourself you are not your job. You have other things going on, like friendships and family obligations, outside the office. Place your focus here when you feel discouraged. Not everyone can work a job that fulfills their dreams. If you're not in the exact field you love, pursue your passions outside of work. Volunteer at an organization that could use extra help. For example, if you're working an office job, but your goal is to work with kids, volunteer at a daycare, library, or school to help tutor kids. Work doesn't have to be your only outlet in life. Think about your passions and find ways to indulge them on the side. Form a band with friends if you're interested in music. Join a local theater troupe if you're interested in acting. There are many things you can do to feel fulfilled outside of work. Sometimes, it’s not the job that’s the problem, and it may be that underlying issues are making you unhappy. Talking to a therapist can help you work through these problems and pinpoint if you are suffering from anxiety or depression.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отключитесь после ухода. Помните, что вы — это вы, а не ваша работа. Проявляйте инициативу в других местах. Не отказывайте себе в увлечениях и предметах страсти. Подумайте о том, чтобы сходить на прием к психологу.


If you find yourself unable to focus while drinking, it can be helpful to return your attention to your breathing. Using your breath as a focus point has been shown to help you return to the present moment and situation. Although you will still be inebriated, paying attention to your breath can give you something to focus on and a moment to catch your thoughts. If you've had a large amount of alcohol, it can be easy to lose track of yourself and your surroundings. If you need something to focus on, paying attention to your senses can be a good idea. By bringing your attention to the sounds, sights, or even something like how warm or cold you feel can give you something to focus on. If you're too drunk and are having difficulty maintaining focus on your surroundings, try talking with a friend. Tell them you are too drunk and need help. Your friend will help you to stay safe and give you something to focus on, giving you some level of control over your situation.  Talk with your friends. Engaging in a conversation can help you stay focused. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask your friends.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сосредоточьтесь на своем дыхании. Сконцентрируйтесь на чувствах. Обратите внимание на окружающих.


If you find yourself using a complex emoticon such as an Eastern emoticon often, you may find it easier to create a shortcut for it so you don't have to always track down one to copy and paste or hunt for characters.    It's crucial that you don't type a phrase that you use for other things, as the shortcut will get replaced any time it is used.  A common trick is to use HTML-style tags as the phrase. For example, if you are creating a shortcut for (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, you could type &table; into the "Replace" field. The & and ; ensure that you won't replace a real word by accident. Space in any text field to insert your emoticon.
