Share the bathing, hair combing, tooth brushing, dressing, and other grooming routines with your daughter. Showing her how to care for herself and establishing a routine during which she can count on your personal attention teaches her from a young age that you are there to take care of her. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, and it also indicates that your daughter is trying to learn her cues for behavior from you. If your daughter tries to mimic your body language, activities, or routines, invite her to participate and to learn from you. However, keep in mind that she is an individual. Encourage her to participate in activities with you, but let her explore her own interests.  Set good examples. If you have negative feelings toward your looks or body shape, you risk passing on these same issues to your daughter. Learn to embrace your size and your imperfections and teach her to love herself regardless of the often unrealistic media images presented on the "perfect body". Always talk to your daughter openly about body image issues. Be honest about your own feelings and avoid being judgmental of how she looks. If you find it hard to talk about, there are excellent resources available in books and online for helping you approach body image and related issues with your daughter. If you love to jog, bring your daughter with you in a jogging stroller; if you love to shop, people-watch, garden, cook, or read, find ways to bring your daughter with you or help her to be a part of the action at your side. Involve your daughter in chores early on, as a way to develop personal responsibility rather than enforcing an "expected role." If you have sons, include them as well, doing the same amount of chores, so that your daughter and sons learn that chores are the shared responsibility of all householder, to ensure the smooth running of a household.

TL;DR in Russian:

Передайте свой опыт по уходу за собой маленькой дочери. Пусть ваша дочь пытается быть похожей на вас. Задействую дочку в своих любимых занятиях.


Shared activities help build a sense of connection. Doing activities that you all enjoy can help you see other aspects of your parents. Your parents might be worried about being less involved in your life as you grow up, but inviting them to take part with you in a fun activity can set the groundwork for your future loving adult relationship.  For example, if you really like rock climbing, invite your parents to an easy climbing wall with you.  This gives you the opportunity to teach them something, and they may be more supportive of your hobby if they've experienced it with you. Or, you could offer to join your parents and learn more about one of their hobbies. Spend an afternoon at the art museum together, and ask questions about why they like it. Interacting with you on an adult level will help you to develop a more mature relationship. If your parents don't know what's bothering or annoying you, they won't be able to try to change their behavior. Choose a quiet, unstressful moment to have this conversation, and be aware that you might have to revisit these topics multiple times.  Your relationship won’t change overnight. Plan in advance what you want to say, so that you won’t find yourself blurting things out. [[ It may be helpful to talk to another trusted adult in advance. They will be able to give you an adult’s perspective on your concerns, and let you know if your parents’ behavior is typical or more serious. Some parents really are overly strict or constantly critical. They may berate you for not always winning at your sport or push you into activities that you don’t enjoy. Other parents may be neglectful, focusing on their work or new relationships rather than their children. If you are facing these kinds of demands or issues, know that you need and deserve outside support from a counselor or therapist. Your doctor or a trusted teacher will be able to help you find that support. It’s not up to you to fix your parents’ issues or problems. Your job is to take care of yourself and learn strategies for...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проводите время вместе. Скажите родителям, какие их действия расстраивают вас. Получите помощь, если вы сталкиваетесь с  необоснованными требованиями или поступками. Поговорите с родителями о проблемах, с которыми вы сталкиваетесь. Помните о том, что ссоры в отношениях – это нормально. Научитесь смотреть на вещи глазами родителей.


Sharing a difficult experience or task with a friend or partner will make the whole experience more tolerable, even enjoyable. Enlisting a friend to help you in your endeavor to stop swearing can work in one of two ways:  You can either rope in a friend who also has a swearing problem and work towards cutting out the bad language together, or you can ask a clean-mouthed comrade to monitor your language and give you a gentle reminder whenever you slip up. Either way, having someone to hold you accountable for your swearing slip-ups will force you to stick to your guns and kick this bad habit once and for all. Everyone has their own individual triggers which set them off, leading to the intense desire to swear. For some people it's traffic, for others it's the queue at the grocery store and for others still, it's when yet another character dies on "Game of Thrones". If you can pinpoint what your exact triggers are, you may be able to avoid them - by leaving work 30 minutes later to avoid rush hour, by shopping online, or by watching reruns of "Friends" instead. Remove yourself from any situations which cause negative emotions to rise and you'll be better able to control what comes out of your mouth. The swear jar is a tried-and-tested method which has helped many people to kick their swearing habit. It usually involves taking a large jar or money box (something you can't easily break into) to which you will add a dollar (or some other arbitrary amount of money) every time you utter a swear word. You can view the swear jar in two ways, as a punishment or as a delayed reward:  It's a punishment because you have to say goodbye to a dollar every time you slip up. But it's also a reward, because once the jar is full (or you've successfully stopped swearing - whichever comes first) you get to spend the money on whatever you like - whether you want to buy yourself some new threads, or donate the money to charity. Keeping the swear jar in your office is a good idea if you have roped several people into giving up...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь за помощью к друзьям. Выясните, что провоцирует брань, и избегайте этого. Используйте штрафную банку за ругательства. Ударяйте резинкой по запястью. Представьте, что вы постоянно находитесь рядом со своей бабушкой. Избегайте музыки и фильмов с ненормативной лексикой.


Sharing humor with others can be a great way to connect. If you want to bring some humor to social functions, learn a few basic jokes. You can also look for humorous pictures, witty statements, and funny internet memes to share with others. Look for things that go with your style of humor.  For example, try something like this: What do you call a line of rabbits walking backward? A receding hare line.  What did the football coach say to the broken vending machine? Give me my quarterback! People tend to laugh at jokes that deal with their situations, where they live, or their beliefs.  Make a light joke about the weather or the city you live in to break the ice with people. If you are in the same business, make a joke about that profession. When looking for something to say, comment on the weather. For example, "If it doesn't stop snowing, I'm going to have to ski to work." Think about your funny friends. How do they slip humor into the conversation? What kinds of jokes do they make?  Check out stand up comedians or watch videos online. Focus on their delivery, the topics, and how they turn the everyday into something humorous. Observe the people in your life that you consider funny, and determine what it is you like about their humor that you can add to your own. Practice making jokes so you can improve and become more natural. Start by using humor with trusted family and friends. Tell them your goal and ask them to be honest with you. Listen to them if they tell you that your jokes need improvement. As you become more comfortable, expand your comfort zone by inserting humor into conversations with people not as close to you. As you develop your sense of humor, think about the context. Do you get offended easily when people are making jokes? Whether you are telling jokes or laughing at jokes, you want to be careful not to offend anyone or hurt their feelings. Having a sense of humor means you approach life with a good-natured attitude. You don't use others to get a laugh, and you don't laugh when people make...

TL;DR in Russian:

Запомните несколько шуток. Замечайте юмор в обычных вещах. Окружите себя веселыми людьми. Практикуйтесь. Следите за тем, чтобы шутки не звучали оскорбительно.


Sharing towels, shoes, and socks can increase your chance of spreading athlete's foot to others or of getting it yourself. Make sure that you only use your own towel and wear your own socks and shoes. Do not borrow or lend these items to people. Athlete's foot can get onto your sheets and socks, which may cause it to breed and spread. To prevent athlete's foot from spreading from one foot to the other or from becoming worse, change your sheets every day until your athlete's foot is gone and change your socks every day as well. You should also change your socks if they get sweaty because this will increase the chance that athlete's foot will spread. Athlete's foot thrives in damp or wet environments. By keeping your feet dry you can make it more difficult for the bacteria that causes athlete's foot to infect you. Take some of the following steps to help keep your feet dry and prevent athlete's foot:  If you are at home, and no one you live with has athlete's foot or any other fungal infection, you can go barefoot to keep your feet cool and dry. If your socks are sweaty or wet you should change them as soon as possible. If you find yourself away from home, keep a few clean and dry pairs of socks with you to prevent the chance of you having to go any period of time with sweaty or damp socks on your feet. Always dry your feet off completely after washing them. When getting out of the shower or after washing them off, make sure to rub dry in between your toes especially with a clean towel before you get dressed or put on socks and/or shoes. Your shoes can play an important role in preventing athlete's foot. By selecting shoes that can help keep your feet dry and clean, you can reduce the chances of contracting and/or spreading athlete's foot.  Keep some of these tips in mind when shopping for shoes:  Try wearing a different pair of shoes each day to allow the shoes some time to dry in between uses. You can also sprinkle talcum powder in your shoes to help deal with moisture. If you're unable to have or can't...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пользуйтесь только собственными полотенцами, обувью и носками. Ежедневно меняйте простыни и носки. Следите, чтобы ступни оставались сухими. Носите подходящую обувь. Не ходите босиком в общественных местах. Ухаживайте за ступнями.


Sharks have several different attack methods. Sometimes they swim right up and charge, sometimes they circle for a while before lunging, and sometimes they sneak up from behind for a surprise attack. To be able to defend against the shark, you must know where it is, so make every effort to watch the animal, even as you are working out your escape. When you first spot the shark, chances are it will swim away without bothering you. You cannot out-swim a shark, so trying to sprint to safety may not be your best option, unless you are already very close to shore. It is important to keep your wits about you, so you can continuously appraise the situation and figure out how to get to safety.  Move slowly toward the shore or a boat; choose whichever is closest. Do not thrash your arms or kick or splash while you swim. Do not block the shark's path. If you are standing between the shark and the open ocean, move away.  Do not turn your back on the shark as you move. Remember, it is important to keep the shark in view. If you cannot get out of the water right away, try to reduce the shark's possible angles of attack. If you are in shallow enough water, keep your feet on the ground. Slowly back up against a reef, piling, or rock outcropping or any solid obstruction so that the shark cannot circle around behind you. This way you only have to defend attacks in front of you.  If you are diving near the shore, you may need to descend to find cover. Look for a reef or rock on the bottom of the ocean. In open water, get back-to-back with another swimmer or diver so that you can see, and defend against, an attack from any direction.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не отрывайте взгляд от акулы. Сохраняйте спокойствие и не делайте резких движений. Примите защищающуюся позицию.


Sharpen the pencil for thinner lines. Allow it to blunt for thicker lines. The darkness or lightness of the line from a regular pencil depends on how much pressure you apply to the paper. It can achieve a finer and more consistent line. For a preparatory sketch, a 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in) lead will be sufficient. If you're aiming for a more detailed drawing, go with a narrower lead, around 0.3 millimetres (0.012 in). Drawing involves creating a variety of lines and tones. Use H-grade leads for drawing light, solid lines that you don't want to smear. Opt for a B-grade lead for creating shadows or other parts of a drawing that require smudging. B-grade leads also create much darker lines and tones. If you're doodling on notebook paper or computer paper, go for the least expensive brand like Crayola. Sharpen them like a wooden pencil to achieve thin lines. Allow them to get blunted for thicker lines. If you're serious about art, visit an art store for high-quality colored pencils. They're more expensive, but you may find that they give a stronger color than you'll find in typical colored pencils. Some brands are much easier to blend than the less expensive brands. Like straight charcoal in stick form, this pencil is based on wood that has been burnt to the point where only the carbon is left. Unlike regular charcoal, they write a bit more smoothly. Apply strong pressure for heavy, dark lines. Ease up on the pressure for finer lines. Like lead pencils, charcoal pencils come in a variety of hardnesses. Buy them at any art supply store. Go with this variety if you're looking for true black, which you can't get with graphite. These pencils are based on lampblack, the byproduct of burning oil. Carbon also comes in varying hardnesses and can also be obtained in stick form. Buy them in any art supply store. Also known as china marker, this variety of pencil is based on a waxy crayon-like material. Choose this variety if you need to make temporary marks on smooth surfaces like ceramic, metal and, plastic. Sharpen it...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите деревянный карандаш, если вам нужно нарисовать разные линии. Выберите механический карандаш для рисования чертежей. Держите под рукой карандаши разной степени твердости. Используйте цветные карандаши, чтобы очертить или зарисовать фигуры на бумаге. Выберите угольный карандаш, если вам нужны насыщенные черные или серые линии. Купите углеродный карандаш, если хотите нарисовать гладкие черные линии. Используйте жировые карандаши для глянцевых поверхностей.


Sharpen your carving knife, if necessary, using either a sharpening rod or stone.  To use a sharpening rod, pull the edge of the knife down and across the rod, holding it at a 22° angle (you know what that looks like, right?). Repeat this process 5 to 10 times. If you're using a sharpening stone, hold your knife at a 10° to 15° angle to the stone. Push back and forth in smooth, steady strokes. If you have one with a well at one end to contain the juices, good for you. First things first, remove the cooking twine  with a knife or scissors and dispose. . To make it easy on yourself, use a carving fork to hold the roast in place. Turn the platter to where the rib bones are on your left if you are right-handed, or on your right if you use your left hand to carve. Using your ultra-sharp carving knife, make one cut, slicing off the chine bones (the bones on the large end) to sever the meat from the bones in one piece. Save the bones for nibbling on later. Or, if you're crafty in the kitchen, make a scrumptious soup! Slice the meat across the grain to the thickness you prefer. 1/4 - 1/2" (.6-1.25 cm) is fairly standard. Serve, enjoy, loosen your belt a notch, and moan away in prime rib ecstasy.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите длинный, тонкий, острый нож. Положите мясо на большую разделочную доску. Начните разрезать мясо. Разрезайте мясо стороной вниз.


Sharpening stones can be found at most hardware stores, and can be used to sharpen any blade you have. Sharpening stones normally have two sides used for sharpening blades: a coarser, grainier side, and a fine side.  If you have very dull scissors, you should start out using the coarse side of the stone, and then use the finer side of the stone to finish your sharpening. If your scissors just need a light sharpening, you only need to use the fine side of the stone. Remove the screw attaching the scissor blades together. You do this so you can sharpen each blade separately, and have more mobility when sharpening the blades. More often than not, a flathead screwdriver small enough to fit in the screw’s head will work in unscrewing the scissors’ blades from each other. Use a damp paper towel to wipe down the blades of the scissors and clean off any stone bits that may have collected on the blades while you sharpened the scissors.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите оселок. Разберите ножницы. Протрите ножницы.


Shave with the direction of hair growth, as you normally would. One perk of olive oil compared to shaving cream is that it allows you to see the area you are shaving clearly. Use a damp cloth to keep the area moist. You can use any type of razor.  You should discard disposable razors after one use, and clean electric razors after each use to prevent bacterial growth. If you want a cleaner shave, apply more oil and shave against the grain of the hair. Wash the area again with soap, either in the shower or at the sink. This will remove dirt and excess oil. If you don’t want to smell like olive oil, be sure not to skip this step! Washing the area thoroughly is important for removing the scent of the olive oil. Instead of using a store-bought lotion to moisturize post-shave, try massaging a teaspoon of olive oil into your skin. It’s cheap, and you already have it on hand! Try to apply the oil while your skin is still damp--it’ll absorb better. Olive oil is a lubricant, and can prevent your blade from rusting. Coating the blade with olive oil after shaving will help it last longer. You can leave your blade in the oil until the next use, or store it in its usual spot. If you store your razor in a drawer or on your counter, you may want to place a towel under the blade to prevent the oil from spreading.

TL;DR in Russian:

Брейтесь вдоль роста волос. Вымойте участок кожи. Снова нанесите масло, чтобы увлажнить кожу. Макните бритву в масло.


Shaved unibrows will come back much more quickly that unibrows that have been plucked, waxed, or had cream applied to them. You can purchase eyebrow razors at beauty stores and pharmacies. Make sure that you do not get the shaving cream on any part of your eyebrow that you wish to keep.   You can also mark the portion of your eyebrows that you wish to shave with a brow pencil. Doing this will help you place the shaving cream only on the portion of your eyebrows that you want to get rid of. Hold the brow pencil vertically on either side of the bottom of your nose. The point where the pencil meets your eyebrow is the center point of your brow; everything between the left and right points should be removed. Carefully shave the portion of your eyebrow that you wish to remove. Shave from your brow line to the very top of the bridge of your nose. Try to avoid getting any shaving cream in your eye. If you missed several hairs, re-apply the shaving cream and shave again. You can also use tweezers to pluck away any stray hairs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание, что бритье имеет самый кратковременный результат. Купите специальную бритву для бровей. Нанесите небольшое количество пены для бритья на область между бровей. Сполосните бритву под струей воды. Вытрите остатки пены при помощи салфетки или мокрого полотенца.


Shaving over razor bumps will only irritate or tear them open, leaving them vulnerable to infection (and probably not removing much hair in the process). If you can, let the hair grow for a few days and see if it breaks out of the bumps on its own. It might itch, but breaking the bumps with your fingernails can lead to infection and scarring. Try to hold off as much as you can. Look for something that contains salicylic acid, glycolic acid, witch hazel, aloe, or any combination of these ingredients. Some of these products might come in a roller bottle that's designed to go directly on your skin, while others might require you to put the solution on a cotton ball and dab it on your skin.  If you don't know what to buy, call your local waxing salon and ask what they recommend to their clients. You can probably purchase the product there as well, or look around online. Apply the solution to your skin at least once per day, if not more. Aim to do it when you get out of the shower, before your skin has sweat or anything else on it. If you suspect that you have infected ingrown hairs, try using an antibacterial cream on them each day. Bacitracin, Neosporin, and Polysporin are all possible topical treatments. Retinoids, derived from Vitamin A, can help smooth over skin and reduce the appearance of scars or marks left by razor bumps.  You might need to see a doctor for a prescription.  Do not use Retin-A if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. It can cause severe birth defects.  Areas treated with Retin-A are more susceptible to sunburns. Cover up, or wear SPF 45 sunscreen.  Don't use Retin-A on any areas where you plan to wax in the future.— It can make the skin significantly weaker, leading to potential tearing during a waxing session. If your razor bumps persist for several weeks, and you haven't shaved again, consider booking an appointment with a dermatologist.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прежде чем снова побриться, дайте волосам немного отрасти. Не чешитесь! Воспользуйтесь продукцией для лечения раздражения после бритья. Лечите инфекцию антибактериальным кремом. Лечите шрамы средством Ретин-А. Посетите дерматолога.


Shaving too often will not allow your skin the time it needs to heal sufficiently from previous shaving sessions.  Try not to shave more than once every four to five days. Razors should be disposed of after five to seven shaves.  This way, you’re always using a sharp blade, and less likely to irritate the skin. Wet your skin with mild soap and warm water before shaving, then apply shaving cream or shaving gel.  Shaving cream helps you get a smoother shave and reduces the likelihood of getting razor burn. Shave in short strokes.  Don’t apply excess pressure; the weight of the razor should be enough to help you shave with the proper pressure.  Always move the blade in the direction the hair is growing.  If you pull the razor in the direction the hair is not growing, you might end up pushing hair into your follicles. Allowing your razor burn to be exposed to fresh air can help you get rid of it more quickly.  If you must cover the razor burn, wear only loose-fitting clothes to allow your pores to breathe. Wear cotton clothes.  Synthetic clothes can irritate razor-burned skin.  Wool, similarly, can exacerbate your razor burn.  Cotton, on the other hand, is a more breathable material and will accelerate the razor burn healing process.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не брейтесь слишком часто. Используйте острую бритву. Используйте крем для бритья. Улучшайте технику бритья. Старайтесь не закрывать кожу с раздражением после бритья.


Shaving your butt with a razor might lead to a feeling of prickliness as the hairs grow back, as well as the possibility of cutting sensitive skin. To prevent this, use a high-quality razor if you’re choosing this method. A cartridge razor will allow you to move around the curves of your body more easily. It's also important to use a new blade. Since the skin on your butt is quite sensitive, you don’t want to begin shaving on dry skin. Rub shaving cream or lotion onto the area that you want to shave, making sure you apply it in an even layer. Choose a shaving cream or lotion that won’t irritate your skin. Your butt is a pretty hard spot to see, so you’re going to need some backup. Use a handheld mirror to help you navigate the shaving process, ensuring that you don’t cut yourself. Shaving in the same direction of hair growth will help prevent your skin from becoming irritated or getting razor burn, which is a common occurrence. When you’re shaving the hair off, do it gently and use light, fast movements. Use a damp towel to wipe off any extra shaving cream once you're finished. After you’ve completed your shave, it’s important to moisturize the area to reduce irritation. Apply a thin layer of lotion to your butt, making sure to rub it in well.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте бритвенный картридж высокого качества. Нанесите крем для бритья или молочко. Чтобы видеть зону бритья, воспользуйтесь переносным зеркалом. Брейте волосы по направлению их роста. Нанесите молочко на ягодицы после бритья.


She may cry. Girls are often more sensitive than men and confronting her directly might cause her to break down or get aggressive. She may become so emotionally unstable that you are unable to continue the conversation. She may flee the conflict. If this happens, keep an open mind and give her a chance to reflect on what was said. It takes two people to fight. She may accuse you of things you have done to hurt her. Apologize for your mistakes and give her an opportunity to do the same. Say things like:  "You're right, I made a mistake too. I should have done things differently." "I think I could have handled the situation better also, I'm sorry that I hurt you." No matter the outcome, you confronted her and apologized for your own wrongdoings. This experience will help you both grow, even if you cannot reconcile. She may need more time to understand her mistake and you won't be able to force her. Even if she is unable to apologize, you can still forgive her. Forgiving doesn't mean you are excusing what she did to you. First and foremost, forgiveness is about you.  Forgiving her might not come instantly. Depending on how badly she hurt you, you might need time to truly forgive her. Let go of negative feelings. Holding a grudge may cause you emotional stress. Realize that everyone makes mistakes and move on. If she is receptive to your feelings and offers an apology, accept it. Express to her how good her apology made you feel and how you respect her for taking responsibility for her actions. Encourage her to reach out to others she may have hurt.

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте готовы к ее ответной реакции. Примите ответственность за свои поступки. Будьте оптимистом. Простите ее. Помогите ей загладить вину и примириться.


She really does care about you and would love to hear about what's going on in your life. Spending time with you will help her understand you better and trust you more. This will be important for when you ask her to go places.  Try talking to her about school, your friends, what you're feeling, etc. Ask her to go to the mall, the movies, for a walk, etc. As a teenager, your main responsibility is performing well in school, so if you're not already doing this, you've already given your mom a trump card to deny your requests. Hit the books to show her that you take your school work seriously.  If you get a good grade, be sure to show her! If you're not doing well in school, show her how hard you're trying by doing your homework where she can see you, or by signing up for tutoring. If you have chores assigned to you, don't wait to be reminded to do them. Get them done even before your mom expects them to be. This will show her that you are hard-working, responsible, and that she can trust you.  Letting your industriousness surprise your mom is better than telling her how great you are for doing your chores. Let her find out on her own. Go above and beyond. If your mom asks you to do something, do it -- and more. For instance, if she asks you to tidy your room, vacuum it, too. This shows how you're taking initiative, and she'll appreciate that. This goes for at school and at home: if you want your mom to trust you to go places, act mature and respectful.  You don't have to be perfect, we all mess up sometimes, but try your best.  Be polite and say "Please" and "Thank you." Don't get into fights at school. Respect your mom's friends by listening to them when they speak and politely engaging them in small talk.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проводите время с мамой. Проявляйте усердие в учебе. Выполняйте работу по дому без напоминания. Ведите себя хорошо.


She should know that she can count on you through thick and thin. You'll offer her a shoulder to cry on when her relationships go wrong. You'll drive her to the station in the middle of the night to get back to her family in the pouring rain.  That you'll study with her for a really hard test. This doesn't have to be said -- after enough time, it'll be understood. Girls get emotional. When she gets like this, it's important just to listen. She may not want an actual solution, regardless of how much she's complaining. Being there, listening to her, and telling her she can handle whatever she's going through is infinitely valuable on its own. If they want to date her, it's fine by you but you're always keeping an eye out for her. That'll keep them on the straight and narrow too. And that's what being a true friend is all about. After all, she's like your sister, but better (no fighting over the bathroom). Let your girlfriend know she's your friend, period, too! Sometimes girls get a bit intimidated by other girls; if you approach this topic like it's no big deal, your lady should (hopefully) not have a problem. Heck, maybe the two of them will even hit it off! There's a school of thought that says guys and girls won't always be "just friends." At one point in time or another, either she'll have feelings for you or you'll have feelings for her. If this does happen (which it might), stay open about it. The absolute worst is living in a does-she-or-doesn't-she state of mind. Avoid this by being direct. And because you're such good friends, you can do this! Hopefully she'll be direct with you, too. If you start to notice mixed signals and you think she might be developing feelings, let her know how much you appreciate her friendship. There are delicate ways you can tell her you're just friends without hurting her feelings. Nip the problem in the bud as soon as you can!

TL;DR in Russian:

Всегда будьте рядом. Объясните вашим друзьям, что она ваша подруга и точка. Будьте открыты в ваших чувствах.


Shea butter or coconut oil contain beneficial fats that add smoothness and flexibility to skin and lips. Whip the product to make it smoother, then stir 1 tsp (5mL) into your lip scrub — or replace the oil completely.  If these feel too greasy to you, try jojoba oil or another light, extra-moisturizing oil. Petroleum jelly is not a great choice for a lip scrub since the lips won't absorb it. It's better in a lip balm, where it sits on top of your lips and stops moisture from evaporating. Essential oils can add a great scent and possible health benefits, but many can burn your lips or even poison you if ingested. Check with a doctor or an experienced herbalist before adding one to your lip balm. If you do find a safe option, just stir in two or three drops (or 1–2 drops per tbsp/15mL of lip scrub).  Lavender, sweet orange, and green mandarin essential oils are typically safe for lips.  Peppermint, spearmint, cornmint, and tea tree oils are popular choices, but should never be used on young children. Overuse can also dry out your lips.  "Synthetic Flavor Oils" are non-natural alternatives that are generally safe for lips.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вам необходимо увлажнить губы, добавьте больше масла. Добавляйте эфирные масла очень осторожно.


Sheep naturally eat pasture plants such as grass and clover. If the pasture is large enough and stays in bloom all year, you do not need to provide supplemental food for the sheep.   The amount of hay needed will depend on the quality of the hay, use of pasture, condition  of sheep (pregnant ewes, or with lambs) and amount of grain being feed.  A reasonable estimate for feeding strictly hay is about 3.5 percent body weight per day. Hay is basically cut, dried, and baled forage. It tends to be a grass or legume (like alfalfa or clover). The later the cutting the better the feed quality of the hay, typically. Alfalfa and clover hays tend to be more nutritious and preferred by most animals. They are more expensive, though, and aren’t imperative for sheep. Keep in mind that some clovers may contain a substance similar to estrogen which can work as birth-control in sheep, so avoid that if you’re trying to breed your ewes. Grain isn't actually that great for sheep, except in a few specific cases, because these mixes tend to contain too much copper for a sheep's diet. If you do need to supplement your sheep's diet with grain try to get a mix that is specially formulated for sheep.  Eating too much grain can also cause your sheep to bloat, and potentially die. So really avoid over-feeding grain. A basic mix with corn/soy/oats, or specially formulated sheep/goat chow from your local feed mill should work if they need a little extra supplement. Ones that may need some grain added to their diet typically are young, lactating, or elderly sheep. Goat or cow mixes are better than horse mixes if you can’t find one that is formulated specially for sheep. Again, sheep are sensitive to copper, so avoid all-purpose mixes. Hay should be dry before being stored, kept out the rain, and off the ground. If hay gets damp it can be dried again and used for bedding; though care needs to be taken to prevent sheep from eating molded hay. Grain should be stored in metal containers with lids to prevent damage from rodents. Sheep need the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выпас на пастбище и сено должны составлять большую часть диеты овец. Не перекармливайте овец зерном. Не храните подкормку дольше одного месяца. У овец должен быть доступ к соли. Обеспечьте овец чистой свежей водой.


Sheet music is written on lined notation paper, featuring blank staves on which you can print notes, rests, dynamic markers, and other notes to guide the instrumentalists as they play.  If you want to write sheet music free-hand, the old fashioned way of Mozart and Beethoven, don't worry about drawing your staves on a blank piece of paper with a ruler. Instead, find some free blank staff paper online that you can print out quickly to start filling in with your compositions. If you are really serious though, it would be a better idea to go to a music store and get staff paper there. Its not free like online but your work will look more professional. On many sites, you can even pre-set the key and add the clef markers without having to fill them in yourself. Configure the staves like you want them, download the files, and print them out from your computer. Print out plenty of sheets to practice on and start your compositions in pencil. It can be a messy business trying to get your complicated ideas out on paper, so it helps to be able to erase and make little changes without having to recopy the whole thing. If you want to compose on your computer, you can use software to drag and drop notes, make quick changes and revisions, providing you with easy access and quick saves. Composing on the computer is increasingly popular among contemporary composers, saving you time and effort in writing music.   MuseScore is a popular software, easy-to-use and compatible with either freestyle composition or MIDI inputs. You can record directly onto the staves or work by building your piece up note-by-note. Most composition software also features MIDI playback, so you can hear what you've just written in digital version.  GarageBand also comes standard on most new Macs, and can be used to write sheet music by selecting a "Songwriting" project. You can record live sounds or input an instrument directly to transcribe into musical notation, then click on the Scissor icon in the bottom left corner to check out the notes. ...

Shellac was a common wood finish before the 1920s; this may be enough to indicate to you that you have a shellac finish. Shellac is also the principal way to make French polish and has been used for this purpose on quality furniture over the past century. Old or new, here is the way to check the finish on the furniture or woodwork:  Dab a little denatured alcohol on one section of the wood finish. Try to find an inconspicuous spot. If it is shellac finish, it will liquefy and dissolve.  A result of softening without dissolving suggests there is shellac present but that it has been mixed with lacquer as well. Any other response and you're probably looking at a different wood finish. If in doubt, talk to someone familiar with furniture restoration.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте проверить, нанесен ли на дерево или мебель шеллак. Проверьте, шеллак ли это.


Shellfish is actually divided into two categories, crustaceans and mollusks. Crustaceans include shrimp, lobster, and crab. Mollusks are clams, scallops, mussels, and oysters.  You can be allergic to one group or both. In fact, you may only be allergic to one type of shellfish and not to others, such as shrimp.  Allergies to crustacea are usually worse than allergies to mollusks. If you know you have a severe allergy, it's important to see your doctor and discuss your options. If you can, see a person that specializes in allergies, as they can help pinpoint exactly what you're allergic to.  You can develop a shellfish allergy at any time in your life. Therefore, if you start to show symptoms, it's best to get checked out.  If you start to feel tingly in your mouth after eating shellfish, it's time to talk to your doctor. If you're diagnosed with a severe shellfish allergy, your doctor will prescribe an epinephrine autoinjector so you can self-treat at the first sign of a reaction. These auto-injectors, or pens, can help you survive when you have a severe allergy attack by injecting epinephrine (adrenaline) into your body.  Some common brand names are EpiPen and Avui-Q.  Epinephrine can save your life in the event you have a severe attack.  Check your pen regularly, at least once a month. If you see that the liquid is cloudy or the pen is past its expiration date, get a new one.

She’ll notice if you take the time to style your hair and put on a nice outfit. It’s also a good idea to spritz on a little cologne or body spray — but not too much, since this can be overwhelming.  Brush your teeth and floss before you meet up with a girl you'd like to kiss. You don't necessarily have to dress up, depending on the situation. Do make sure your clothes are clean and wrinkle-free. Don’t let bad breath kill the mood. Keep a small tin of mints in your pocket so you can freshen up your breath before you get close. If you chew gum, remember to spit it out before the kiss! As a bonus, popping a mint during a conversation can give the girl a hint that you're interested in kissing her! Let her know you’re interested in what she has to say, even if you just met her. Ask her questions about herself, and really listen to her answers. As you get to know her better, try to find out more about the things she really likes.  Keep the conversation light. Try saying something like “Tell me more about where you’re from.” If she mentions a pet, ask her if she has any pictures on her phone. People love talking about their animals! Eye contact is one of the most universal signs of flirting, and it can actually make her feel closer to you. If she says something cute or funny, look into her eyes as you laugh. Hold the eye contact for a few seconds and then look away. If you stare at her for too long, you might start to look creepy. A light touch to the arm or face paired with a compliment will let her know that you’re interested in her. Be sure to be sincere in your compliments — if you love the way she smiles or the way her eyes sparkle, tell her.  Try to think of something that other people wouldn’t notice. For instance, if she has striking blue eyes, she’s probably been complimented on them her whole life. You’ll score extra points if you tell her the freckles across her nose are adorable instead. Avoid compliments about her figure, which might make her feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. If she’s leaning...

Shift the tiles, if needed, so any cuts that must be made by the wall are against the least noticeable wall. You also don't want cut tiles at the entrance to the bathroom, so adjust the tiles so cuts are against the far wall. You can snap additional chalk reference lines, once the tile layout is finalized, if you wish. You won't want to step on the newly laid tile before the mortar has a chance to dry. Work on laying the tile in small sections at a time.  Mix up a small batch of thin-set mortar and spread a thin layer on the cement board with the notched trowel. Lay several pieces of tile with tile spacers to establish even grout lines. Firmly press the tile into the mortar so there are no air bubbles underneath. Set a level across the top of the tiles to make sure they are perfectly flat. As you work toward the walls, you may not be able to use a perfect number of tiles. You may also need to make cuts for tiles that sit around toilets and other rounded objects in the floor. Follow the instructions recommended by the manufacturer before grouting.

Shih Tzus are highly social dogs and want to be with their owners as much as possible. Separation anxiety is a problem for Shih Tzus and, as it's not possible to bring your dog everywhere, you need to train your Shih Tzu to adapt to solitude.  A crate can be an excellent way to lessen separation anxiety. Shih Tzus tend to be less nervous about being left alone if they have a place of their own to retreat to. Make your Shih Tzu's crate comfortable, with bedding and toys, and leave the crate door open when you are home. This way, the Shih Tzu will not see the crate as a forced experience but her own special refuge. Some people are wary of leaving their dogs in crates, especially if they're gone for long hours during the day. If this is the case with you, you could try allowing your Shih Tzu access to your bedroom, study, or another closed off area of the house where she feels safe. Shih Tzus might develop nervous tendencies if overly coddled. This can result in timidness and even aggression. Expose your Shih Tzu to a variety of sounds and experiences.  Sounds like whistles, lawn mowers, sirens, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, and other day-to-day noises should be familiar to your Shih Tzu. As separation anxiety is an issue, you don't want to risk her hearing an innocuous noise and panicking while you're gone. Exposing your Shih Tzu to a variety of stimuli simply means taking her with you different places and remaining calm and collected in the face of loud or sudden noises.  Dogs pick up on cues from their owners. If you get frightened or anticipate a negative behavior from your dog, it's more likely to occur. Staying calm in the face of sudden noises, other dogs, or other people can help your dog stay calm. Do not treat her any differently so she sees the event is normal and not be feared. If she displays any timid behavior, such as cowering or whimpering, it's okay to say something soothing to her or to provide with a treat to make the moment seem happy and positive. However, do not remove her from the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приучите ши-тцу хорошо вести себя в одиночестве. Познакомьте собаку с различными звуками и ситуациями. Обучите собаку приходить по команде. Научите ши-тцу правильно ходить на поводке. Обучите ши-тцу командам «сидеть» и «лежать».


Shih Tzus do not respond well to punishment. If you see your Shih Tzu has had an accident, it is too late to scold the dog. Punishing your Shih Tzu after an accident has occurred will only serve to confuse her.  Never put your dog in her crate as a form of punishment. You should never use physical violence, like hitting the dog, as a form of punishment.  You should never yell at a Shih Tzu. The only form of scolding you should use is a firm "No!" Raising your voice can startle your dog, creating an environment of fear. This can make training more difficult. In the event of an accident, clean the affected area thoroughly. Use an odor-neutralizing spray and make sure you get out any traces of urine or feces. You want to make sure the area is clean. Shih Tzus are drawn to smell. If an area smells like urine or fecal matter, they're likely to eliminate in that area again. Shih Tzus are highly trainable dogs, but it may take a few weeks for your dog to be successfully house-trained. If you're working with an older Shih Tzu, training can take longer. However, consistent training over a long period of time will eventually pay off. Even if you are frustrated, try to have patience while you're training your Shih Tzu.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не наказывайте ши-тцу. Тщательно убирайте следы инцидентов. Имейте терпение.


Shih Tzus love their people, but they're not as people pleasing as other breeds. They tend to be stubborn and may not consistently follow your rules.  A Shih Tzu's mood is dynamic. She may be willing to sit and stay one day in order to get a treat, but may show no interest in the treat the next day. You can't always use the same training tactics with a Shih Tzu. You might have to switch up how you reward and punish behavior. If your Shih Tzu is ignoring food one day, try rewarding her with praise, toys, or a walk. Shih Tzus are a highly intelligent breed and expect rewards for good behavior. Have a variety of ideas on hand to reward your dog for being good. Although Shih Tzus can be notoriously difficult to train due to their stubborn streak, being firm with them without resorting to scolding or heavy discipline, is an effective means of training.  If your Shih Tzu is acting out or misbehaving, it's better to simply ignore the behavior. Do not give in to jumping, biting, or other attention grabbing behaviors. Do not make eye contact with your Shih Tzu if she misbehaves and do not speak to her or touch her. If your Shih Tzu realizes certain behaviors do not result in attention, she'll cease using them. Always praise a Shih Tzu for behaving well. Shih Tzus enjoy human interaction and affection and are willing to work for praise. Positive reinforcing good behaviors while ignoring bad ones is a great way to get your Shih Tzu to behave. Shih Tzus are great pets, but tend to be one person dogs and prefer homes with more mature family members. Children under the age of 3 might not do well with a Shih Tzu as they'll fail to understand the breed needs boundaries. If you have young children, consider opting for a different breed or keeping your kids and your dog separate.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проявляйте гибкость. Используйте во время дрессировки только положительные стимулы. Не подпускайте ши-тцу к маленьким детям.


Shingles first presents as pain, itching and tingling of the skin. Sometimes these initial symptoms are followed by confusion, fatigue, fever, headache, memory loss, an upset stomach and/or stomach pain. Up to five days after the appearance of these initial symptoms, a painful rash may appear on one side of the face or body. If you think you have shingles, visit your physician within 24 to 48 hours. Antiviral drugs like famciclovir, valtrex and acyclovir can be used to effectively treat the symptoms of shingles, but only if they are started within 48 hours of onset. If you begin taking your antiviral medication after 48 hours, it may not be as effective. Additionally, keep in mind that your antivirals won't prevent PHN. If you have moderate to severe pain caused by your outbreak, your doctor may prescribe the oral corticosteroid prednisone, along with acyclovir. Corticosteroid therapy may reduce your nerve pain, but it doesn't work for everyone. Your doctor will only prescribe corticosteroids if you aren't taking medications that interact with them. Make sure you tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking. For example, your doctor might prescribe up to 60 mg of prednisone for up to 10-14 days, tapering you off before you stop taking the medication.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте о симптомах опоясывающего лишая. Если вы подозреваете, что у вас опоясывающий лишай, обратитесь к врачу в течение 24–48 часов. Узнайте у врача, подходит ли вам лечение кортикостероидами.


Shingles most often begins with unusual sensations such as itchiness, burning, tingling, or loss of sensation in one area of the skin (and localized to one side of the body and not the other). This may be accompanied by a general feeling of being unwell and/or a fever. One to two days after the onset of these symptoms, a shingles rash (often painful blisters in a band-like pattern) typically appears.   The rash may also occur near the eye. If this is the case, seeking medical treatment sooner rather than later is key to prevent potential complications such as blindness. The rash will occur in a dermatomal pattern across the body, which means that the rash will cover an area of skin that is connected by the same set of nerves.  Therefore, your doctor will be able to notice a dermatomal distribution and diagnose the condition. If you have contracted shingles and are seeking to prevent complications of the disease, be sure to see a doctor as soon as possible. The quicker you start medical treatment for shingles, the less likely your risk of developing complications.  Preventing complications is key because the complications of shingles are, in many cases, more burdensome than the illness itself. The complication of postherpetic neuralgia can lead to long-term chronic pain, and the likelihood of this can be greatly diminished with early treatment (as well as vaccination). Having shingles around your eye can lead to serious eye problems and even blindness if not treated early. The shingles blister may become infected with bacteria if not addressed and treated appropriately. If you have been diagnosed with shingles, it is important to take preventative measures to avoid spreading the VZV virus to others. Shingles itself is not contagious from person to person; however, someone who has never had chickenpox can catch chickenpox by being in contact with someone with shingles.  In particular, avoid your shingles blisters coming into contact with anyone else, as these can lead to direct spread of the VZV virus. There...

Shirts with high collars (including turtlenecks and polos) can be aging or give you the appearance of a uni-boob. A V-neck will visually break up your chest and flatter your figure.  A sweetheart, low-cut square, or punching necklines all flatter a larger bust.  Avoid details that draw the eye to your chest. Sequins, writing, buttons above the bust line, pockets, and frills or lace at the neckline will all bring the focus back to your breasts. Don’t get crazy with too much cleavage, as that will draw attention to your breasts. Because you have more to cover in the chest area, your shirt will hit higher on your waist.  You want it to hit about 4-5 inches below your belly button. This will slim your waist and make your torso look longer, instead making your hips and bustline look squished together.  Notice sleeve length as well—sleeves that end right at your bust-line can make your chest appear wider. Try cap, three-quarter, or long sleeves instead. When shopping, choose shirts with a more rectangular shape than a square shape—these will be longer. Wear long camisoles under shorter shirts to add length. If all your shirts are boxy and too short, invest in a couple of long camisoles you can layer underneath for the same effect. You might be feeling self-conscious about your breasts and want to hide in a baggy shirt, or you may be so frustrated trying to find something that fits that you just buy a shirt that is too big. But baggy clothes don’t make your breasts look smaller—they just make you look bigger all over. Try to find shirts that are fitted in the torso but have more space in the bust area. Fitted t-shirts that have extra length should give you the desired fit. Wrap dresses will cinch in your waist, and usually have V-necklines with more room for your breasts. Any dress that creates that “V” shape at the top (whether with fabric, seams, beading, or neckline) will give you a gorgeous hour-glass shape.  Avoid dresses with halters or empire bust lines. These are generally not made with large-breasted women...

Shisha is just tobacco packed in liquids that add flavor and thick smoke. These liquids tend to settle to the bottom, so give it a quick stir to spread them around.  For your first time smoking a hookah, consider using tobacco-free hookah molasses to practice the setup. Tobacco can be very harsh if you make a mistake.  Shisha comes in many different flavors, which significantly change the experience. Sample several to see what you like as a novice hookah smoker. Fluff up pieces of shisha and drop them in the bowl. Press lightly down to make a flat layer without compacting the tobacco. It should stay fairly loose so air can easily flow through it. Fill the bowl nearly to the top, but leave at least 2mm (3/32 inches) of space above the tobacco so it doesn't burn. Lay a piece of heavy-duty foil over the bowl, stretching it taut. Crimp it around the edges to secure.  If you only have standard duty foil, use two layers. You can use a charcoal screen sold for this purpose instead, but most users prefer the foil. This should fit securely into another rubber piece, for an airtight fit. Using a toothpick or paper clip, poke about 12–15 holes through the foil surface. Test air flow by drawing on the hose as you do this. If you have trouble pulling air, add more holes. Some people like to poke all the way through the shisha to provide channels for heat and air. There are two types of coals used for hookah. Follow these instructions depending on which one you have:  Quick light coals: Hold with tongs over a nonflammable area. Light with a lighter or match until it stops smoking, then wait 10–30 seconds until covered in light gray ash and glowing orange. These are convenient, but give a worse, shorter smoke. Some people even get headaches from smoking them. Natural coals: Heat directly in a stove flame or on an electric burner, but never where ash could fall into the gas line or on a glass stove. The coal is ready once glowing orange, usually after 8–12 minutes. Place the coals evenly ringing the edge of the foil, or even...

Shock is a serious medical condition that can quickly worsen, so if you suspect a person might be experiencing shock,  call 911 or your local emergency number as soon as possible. Medical and emergency professionals will know what to look for and how to effectively treat shock. Although any injury, illness, or disease that restricts blood flow can lead to shock, some medical problems are more likely to produce this condition than others. To evaluate whether someone might be suffering from shock, check the following list of some of the common causes of this condition and the terms for the type of shock that results:  Heart problems, including heart attack or heart failure, can cause cardiogenic shock.  A severe allergic reaction may lead to anaphylactic shock.  If someone has low blood volume due to heavy bleeding (external or internal) or even dehydration, he might experience hypovolemic shock.  When someone has a major infection, he might experience septic shock.  In the event of a brain or spinal injury that damages the nervous system, neurogenic shock can occur. Traumatic events such as accidents, disasters or assaults can lead to physiological shock The symptoms of shock vary depending on the type of shock and the condition that caused the body to experience shock. Refer to the list below so that you can recognize some of the common symptoms associated with shock.  Low blood pressure Rapid pulse and breathing Sweating Shallow breathing Nausea or vomiting Dilated or enlarged pupils Weakness or fatigue Dizziness or fainting Skin that is cool, clammy, or pale Bluish lips and fingernails Anxiety, agitation, confusion, or changes in a person's behavior or mental status

Shoe stores will often carry products specifically tailored to clean your shoes. They may work better than household items, as they are usually made for specific shoe fabrics. Make sure to use the correct one for your shoes, however, as using the wrong product could damage a different fabric.  Buy suede-specific products for suede. Suede can be difficult to take care of, and it scuffs very easily. Look for suede-specific cleaner, which comes in a spray bottle. Use it according to the directions and scrub out the scuffs. Buy a shoe brush. There are many types of shoe brushes for different shoe types. Suede and leather brushes are made to brush and protect scuffs off of suede and leather shoes, and will help give you a great finish. Many shoe stores carry shoe wipes, which come in handy packets for on-the-go cleaning and polishing. Some scuffs and marks are easier to clean off if you catch them early and often, so shoe wipes can be a convenient way to get rid of them quickly. Make sure to buy the correct type for the material of your shoe. For leather shoes, adding a little shoe polish in the correct color can help revitalize the leather and soften up any scuff marks. Using a soft rag, buff a little bit of shoe polish over the entire surface of the shoe. Pay close attention to the locations of the scuffs and give them a little extra polish. Magic Erasers are used for getting scuffs and stains off of household items, but they can work for shoes as well. Wet the eraser, then rub it over the scuffed parts of any shoe: leather, suede, canvas, etc. Continue rubbing until the whole scuff is gone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подыщите специальное средство для удаления потертостей на обуви. Используйте салфетки для обуви. Отполируйте ботинки кремом для обуви. Используйте меламиновую губку.


Shoes with good treads will help support your feet as you walk down stairs. Wearing high heels, slippers with soft soles or socks are more likely to allow for slips down stairs.  If your ankles are weak, make sure you also include ankle support when walking down stairs. A turned ankle may result in a fall. Keep your feet turned slightly out for better stability. It's easy to step on long, flowing skirts or pants when walking up and down stairs. This will usually result in a fall. For best outcome, avoid wearing clothes of this nature when walking on stairs.  If you find yourself wearing these clothes in a situation where walking down stairs can't be avoided, be careful to gather the excess material in one hand as you walk. Hold carefully to the stair rail with your other hand. Wearing clothes that are overly long prevents you from seeing your feet. Not visually knowing where your feet are on the stairs raises the risk of falling. Skirts which don't allow for free movement of the knees and legs can also be a hazard. When skirts are too tight, people can't properly walk from stair to stair.  If you must wear tight skirts, walk up and down stairs by putting both feet on each stair, rather than alternating stairs. Another way to navigate stairs in a very tight skirt is to push the skirt as far up the thigh as you politely can. This allows your knees more leeway, and aids in walking up and down stairs more safely.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ходите по лестнице в обуви. Не ходите в одежде, которая тянется по полу. Не носите узкие юбки.


Shoot to eat about 5-7 times a day, just with really small portions. For a snack, go for a banana and some walnuts, or a small bit of Caprese salad. Your biggest meal of the day should be before mid-day. Eat plenty of protein to build those ab muscles. Avoid sugar all together and reduce your caloric intake.  Eating dos:  Lean meat, such as beef, fish, chicken, or turkey. Lean protein, such as eggs and soybeans (tofu) or other beans. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as spinach, kale, blueberries, or strawberries. Nuts and seeds, such as walnuts and sunflower seeds (unsalted). Whole grains, such as oatmeal or whole-grain pasta.   Eating don'ts:  Fast-foods. Rich sauces, heavy cream, ice cream, desserts and carbohydrates (bread, starches, etc.). Sweets, such as candies, cakes, and pastries. Processed foods, such as sweet breakfast cereals, chips, or fish sticks high in sodium.   Try not to eat right before you go to bed. Food that gets consumed right before bed often doesn't have enough time to get metabolized by your body, and so is converted directly into fat. Avoid those late-night snacks! A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 liters daily in most instances but most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. Drinking water also prevents you from drinking other alternatives which contain calories while still keeping you hydrated.  Cut out all sugary drinks from your diet! Sugary drinks — even those like Diet Coke, or Coke Zero — will not contribute to your overall health like plain, filtered water will. You don't have to be fanatical about it but try to avoid soft drinks as a general rule. Drink green tea! Green tea is packed with antioxidants, which are instrumental in curbing free radicals — cells in your body that attack other cells and contribute to aging. Without sugar, green tea is a great way to get some fluids and antioxidants into your body, and it does not contain any calories. Drink a big glass of water or green tea right before a meal. This will give your stomach the...

Shopping for a month can lead to a serious amount of groceries to unload.  To keep your goods fresh and well preserved, put away all of the freezer foods immediately, then tackle the refrigerated foods, and then all of the pantry goods.  If you have children, this is a great time to get them involved! While you put foods away, try to organize them into products that need to be consumed earlier in the month.  For example, certain produce items like bananas and spinach are more perishable and need to be eaten earlier in the month while items like apples, oranges, and celery can wait.  Try to keep these perishable items in the front of the fridge/freezer as a reminder to use them quickly. Experienced savvy shoppers plan their meals so that perishable items are used in meals earlier in the month, saving sturdier goods for meals later in the month. In addition to prioritizing perishable foods as you put them away, it is really helpful to portion items as well.  This can help save a lot of time as you begin making meals because everything is already pre-portioned.  This is especially helpful for frozen goods because some food items cannot be defrosted, portioned out for a given meal, and then refrozen without becoming unsafe to eat or losing quality.  For example:  Divide things like tortillas into separate freezer bags that include the number of tortillas you would use for one meal.  That way you can thaw out one bag to use for a meal and keep the others frozen until you need them. If you bought or made pizza dough, separate the dough into smaller balls and freeze them individually so you can defrost only enough to make one pizza and keep the rest frozen. When shopping only once a month, it is important to learn what items you can buy in bulk and then freeze and use later.  You can freeze most products as long as you do so properly.  Some guidelines include:  Be sure to properly package foods so that no air can permeate the wrap and touch to the food.  This will help maintain quality and prevent freezer burn. Wash...

Быстро разложите еду по местам хранения. Правильно организуйте раскладку продуктов. Разделяйте еду на порции при раскладке. Научитесь правильно замораживать. Продолжайте обновлять список и определяйте оптимальное сочетание продуктов. Оценивайте и изменяйте стратегию сообразно ситуации.


Shopping on a budget can be difficult – especially when you want everything. However, if you can't afford to splurge, it's important that you give yourself a budget. Be honest with yourself about your finances. Following a budget will allow you to get the essential items that your closet is missing – jeans, basic tops, boots, etc. Once you do this, you'll be able to figure out if you can afford those high heels you've been eyeing.  If you give yourself a budget, you'll be less likely to buy items that you really don't need. When shopping online, use a price filter. If you cut yourself off from the expensive items, you'll be likely to spend less money. Doing your shopping during postseason sales is a great way to build your wardrobe on a budget. Take inventory of your closet and determine what you'll need for the upcoming year. Then, create a budget around those seasonal purchases. Buy investment pieces such as business suits in January, purchase winter coats and boots in late February, and load up on swimsuits and summer clothing in late August. Buying these clothes when they're on sale will help you save money, and you'll already have your shopping done for the following year. Even if you avoid splurging on expensive designer pieces, trend-chasing is still a costly habit. Because trends have such quick turnarounds, keeping up with them will break the bank, even if you’re purchasing lower-end clothing. When you stop trend-chasing and focus on fashion, you’ll be able to develop an eye for the basic pieces that you need and the select few trend pieces that make your wardrobe pop. Focusing on fashion will allow you the time to invest in pieces that will last through the years. If you want a few trendy items that you’ll only wear a few times, hit the clearance racks and outlet malls. This way, you won't be spending the bulk of your clothing budget on items you’ll rarely wear. ” Whether it’s a cashmere sweater, a pair of polyester pants, or a silk dress, make sure you’re aware of the cleaning instructions of the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выделите бюджет на покупку вещей и придерживайтесь его. Покупайте несезонные вещи. Не гоняйтесь за трендами. Не покупайте вещи, которые нельзя стирать в стиральной машине. Наберитесь терпения. Расплачивайтесь наличными.


Short nails have less of a chance of chipping quickly, as they don't come in contact with as much on a daily basis. For instance, short nails don't come in constant contact with computer keys while typing. If you can't avoid an activity that you know might damage your nails, protect them if you can. For example, if you need to wash dishes, be sure to wear dish washing gloves while you do it. Biting your nails will destroy your nail polish immediately. While it's hard to break the habit of biting your nails, if you don't you won't have a beautiful coat of nail polish for long. The spots where you apply small bits of polish to fill in any chips will not be as smooth or pretty as the rest of your polish, but they will help preserve the rest of your nail polish from chipping off. This is basically a last ditch effort to save your manicure. If you can, when a coat of polish starts chipping off, simply take it off with remover and start over. If you have a small chip on the tip of your nail, simply file your nail down and then apply another layer of top coat, focusing on the tip of your nail. You can also paint a thin layer of a contrasting color of nail polish all along the edge of your nail, like a thin french manicure. You will need a steady hand but the result will look cute and intentional. It will keep the polish strong and resilient. This will also make your nail polish shiny and beautiful once again without the hassle of totally reapplying it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, стоит ли отращивать длинные ногти. Избегайте тех видов деятельности, которые могут повредить ваши ногти. Не грызите ногти. Замазывайте небольшие отлупившиеся кусочки. Подойдите к небольшим сколам лака креативно. Наносите новый слой верхнего покрытия каждые несколько дней даже если лак не облупливался.


Short stories are an incredible genre all their own, and if you really want to be well-read, then you have to read the short stories of classic masters as well as some contemporary short stories. For short stories, it's more important to read the works of a particular author than a collection, so here is a list of classic short story writers as well as more contemporary writers that you have to check out:   Classic short story masters (1600-1950): Edgar Allan Poe, Anton Chekhov, Ernest Hemingway, Jorge Luis Borges, Kafka, Isaac Babel, John Updike, Katherine Mansfield, Eudora Welty, and Ray Bradbury.  Contemporary short story masters: (1950-Present): Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver, Donald Barthelme, Tim 'O Brien, George Saunders, Jhumpa Lahiri, Junot Diaz, Z.Z. Packer, Joyce Carol Oates, and Denis Johnson.  Classic Short Story Collections:   In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway (1925)  A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor (1953)  What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver (1981)  Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson (1992)  Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (1999) If you want to be well-read, then you also have to read the works of classic playwrights. Though Shakespeare is the playwright you should know the best, he has been previously listed. However, there are other contemporary and not-so-contemporary plays that you should read if you want to call yourself well-read. Check these out:  Everything by Shakespeare, including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Much Ado About Nothing (1606, 1597, 1599)  Hedda Gabler and A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen (1890, 1879)  The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde (1895)  Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmund Rostand (1897)  The Cherry Orchard and Uncle Vanya by Chekhov (1904, 1897)  Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw (1912)  Our Town by Thornton Wilder (1938)  Death of a Salesman and The Crucible by Arthur Miller (1949, 1953)  Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett (1949)  Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose (1954)  A Streetcar Named Desire, The Glass...

Shortcut keys work on most newer PCs that run Microsoft Word. They tend to be faster and easier to remember than using ASCII Code to create accents. Hold the Control key down, then tap the accent key near the top left corner of your keypad. Release the keys. Then select the desired letter to accent. The accent key is usually on the same key as the ~. It is not the apostrophe key. Hold Control, then tap the apostrophe key. You can find the apostrophe next to the enter key. Release the keys. Then select the desired letter to accent. Hold down the Control and Shift keys then tap the 6 key. Release the keys and select the desired letter. The 6 key is used because of the ^ character found above the number. You will find the tilde is the same key used to make the grave accent. Be sure to hold down the Shift key or you will end up with a grave accent instead. Release the keys, then select the desired letter. , then the letter to add an umlaut accent. The colon key can be found next to the apostrophe key. You must hold down the Shift key to select the colon as opposed to the semicolon. Release the keys. Now select the letter. However, this time, simply type the shift key straight after typing the Control + (choice), then type the letter. It will automatically capitalize.

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспользуйтесь сочетаниями клавиш (клавишами быстрого доступа). Нажмите Ctrl + `, чтобы ввести гравис. Нажмите Ctrl + ', чтобы ввести акут (ударение). Нажмите Ctrl, затем нажмите Shift, потом нажмите 6 и, наконец, нажмите клавишу с нужной буквой, чтобы ввести циркумфлекс («шляпку»). Нажмите Shift + Ctrl + ~, чтобы ввести тильду. Нажмите Shift + Ctrl +: Аналогичным образом введите прописные буквы с надстрочными знаками.


Shorter names are easier to remember than longer ones. The Texas Oil Company shortened its name to Texaco and it's hard to imagine "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" having been as successful if they hadn't decided on the shorter "Yahoo." Even if you're using words that are made-up or use creative spellings, make sure they make some level of sense for the product or service. "U-Haul" and "Flickr" work despite their text-speak because they are accurate names for the business, not because they are spelled strangely. Naming your salon "d' verse tease" is too clever for its own good. It might seem like the best idea in the world to name your construction business "Daedalus Construction" because you've studied your Greek mythology, but alienating customers by risking going over their heads is a risk. This is where knowing your audience comes in: a comics shop named "Jim Gordon's" might appeal to the Batman-obsessives while alienating the average reader though average readers tend not to shop in comics shops anyway. Think of it as a tradeoff. Upscale restaurants in expensive districts can get away with naming their restaurant something French, but it might be a bad idea in West Memphis, where your clientele might be made to feel excluded, or not "in the know." Too often, an adjective becomes train-wrecked into a noun, and a terrible business name is born, like QualiTrade or AmeriBank. Names like this lack personality and your business won't stand out in a market saturated with similar-style names. If your business name includes Ameri, Tech, Corp, or Tron as prefix or suffix, you might want to reconsider and come up with a name that's less saturated. Geographically-specific names will lock your business into a particular niche that will require changing the company name if it grows outside that niche. "Omaha Pipe and Drain" will work for a plumbing repair business in the metropolitan Omaha area, but it won't help a plumbing contractor land a pipefitting contract in Des Moines or Kansas City. "Kentucky Fried...

Shortly into the new year, clean up your room, kitchen, bathroom, and/or basement. Tidy up any cluttered areas, throw away garbage, and put away items that are out of place. This way, you’ll enter the new year feeling neat and organized. It is also helpful to clean out your car. Get rid of any trash, and sort through your center console and glove box, for instance. The new year is a great time to take inventory of your wardrobe and get rid of items that no longer fit or suit your style. Take out the clothing in each of your drawers, and create 1 pile for clothing to keep and 1 pile for clothing to rehome. Then, fold your clothes neatly and return them to your dresser or closet. This helps you declutter your space and freshen up your style. After you create a “rehome” pile, consider giving your items to your friends or family members, or donating them to a thrift store or consignment shop. Consider repainting the walls of your home early into the year. Cover the floor and your furniture with a drop cloth, and use a paint roller to apply indoor house paint to your walls. You can pick a new color for a change of pace, for instance. Visit a local thrift or home supply store, and pick out a couple new items to redecorate with. For example, you can get 2-3 decorative throw pillows, a rug, a lamp, or a new bookshelf. Adding a few new items can make your home feel fresh and new.  You can also get small items like paperweights, vases, and magnets.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните весеннюю уборку раньше, чтобы навести порядок вокруг себя. Рассортируйте свою одежду и избавьтесь от вещей, которые редко носите. Покройте стены новым слоем краски, чтобы освежить комнату. Приобретите несколько новых декоративных элементов, чтобы освежить обстановку.


Shortness of breath can indicate a more serious problem than bruised ribs. If you are suddenly short of breath, have difficulty breathing, chest pain, or are coughing up blood, call emergency services or seek immediate medical attention. Look out for flail chest.  Flail chest occurs when you break 3 or more ribs right next to each other, and it can seriously hinder your breathing. If you suspect more than 1 rib is injured and you physically can't take a deep breath, seek medical help. A rib that's bruised or cracked is damaged, but still in its place in the rib cage. A broken rib, however, is dangerous because it's been dislodged from its normal position, and could potentially puncture a blood vessel, lung, or another organ. Seek medical attention instead of attempting to treat yourself at home if you suspect your ribs are broken instead of bruised. Chest pain can have a number of causes, and some can be life-threatening. An accurate diagnosis ensures that you're treating the right problem. Your healthcare provider may order chest x-rays, a CT scan, an MRI, or a bone scan if a fracture is suspected to reach an accurate diagnosis. However, injured cartilage or bruises will not show up in these tests. Seek medical attention if:  You're experiencing increasing pain in your abdomen or shoulder. You develop a cough or fever.

TL;DR in Russian:

Немедленно обратитесь за медицинской помощью при первых признаках затрудненного дыхания или боли в груди. Обратитесь к врачу при малейшем подозрении на сломанные ребра. Запишитесь на прием к врачу, если вы испытываете постоянную сильную боль.


Shortness of breath is one of the hallmark symptoms of congestive heart failure (particularly left-sided heart failure). This shortness of breath may occur during physical activity, at rest or while sleeping. This shortness of breath may be caused by fluid in the lungs, or by the inability of the heart to pump adequate amounts of blood during physical activity. In addition to the shortness of breath, you may be prone to fits of coughing and experience wheezing or crackling sensations in the lungs when lying down. One visible symptom of CHF is when the jugular vein becomes distended when you are in a semi-upright position. The vein may pulsate as your heart beats. Swelling may occur in the legs, feet and ankles as a result of poor circulation, which causes fluid to accumulate in the lower extremities. This is known as peripheral edema. One of the telltale signs that your ankles and feet are swollen is when your shoes and socks feel tight. Hepatomegaly (an enlarged liver caused by the accumulation of fluid) is often a symptom of CHF. Signs of an enlarged liver include abdominal swelling and nausea. Along with the liver, fluid may accumulate in the abdomen as a result of CHF. This is known as ascites. Ascites leads to abdominal distension (or swelling) and feeling bloated and nauseous. Feeling too warm (even though everyone else in the room feels fine) may be a symptom of CHF. This is because poor circulation prevents the release of body heat. However, even if you feel too warm, the skin on your hands and feet may feel pale and cool, as these parts of your body are not receiving enough blood. Another symptom of CHF is fatigue and dizziness following physical activity, which may force you to sit or lie down. Again, these symptoms occur as a result of poor blood circulation. Another possible symptom of CHF is mental confusion brought on by inadequate circulation of blood to and from the brain. This mental confusion may manifest itself as anxiety, irritability, depression and/or in difficulty concentrating or remembering.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на одышку. Обратите внимание на любой кашель и хрипы. Обратите внимание на раздутые яремные вены. Обратите внимание на отеки лодыжек, стоп или ног.

Shorts should be neither too long nor too short. The hem of appropriately-cut shorts should fall just above the knee when you're standing up straight, and should be no more than an inch or two higher when you're seated. In some zones (read: hipster) short jean shorts, also known as jorts, are increasingly popular, while elsewhere extra-long baggy shorts that hang below the knee are stylish. If you're curious about whether or not you can pull off either of these styles, it's probably a safe bet to go traditional and leave the experiments to the trend-setters. Shorts should sit on your hips normally, like jeans or trousers. Always wear an appropriate belt when you wear shorts. Other than looking professional, shorts have a tendency to sag that you want to avoid. Keep your underwear under your shorts and make sure you've got a belt on. There's nothing wrong with wearing those old soccer shorts while you're sitting around the house watching the game, or keeping on the ratty old cargo shorts you've had since high school while you do the laundry. No shame. But even if you're in the middle of a heat wave, don't wear them out to work on Monday. If you work somewhere it would be appropriate to wear shorts, get the appropriate cut and style and use the same judgment you'd use in your regular work attire. They should be clean, pressed, and professional. Khaki shorts come in many colors and look good on almost all men. Unless you live in the Bahamas, trying to rock cargo shorts, board shorts, or jean shorts past the age of your early 20s won't make you look younger, it'll make you look like you can't dress yourself. Khaki shorts pair well with casual styles and more professional looks, as well. It's a good investment and more recommended than other styles.  When in doubt, go for mute colors. Beige, gray, navy, and black shorts will always be in style. The bright pink pair you picked up for the yacht trip might spend a lot of time at the back of the closet.   If you wear cargo shorts, aim for the smallest possible pocket,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите шорты "правильного" фасона. Носите шорты того же размера, что и брюки, и не забывайте надевать ремень. Шорты для отдыха оставьте для отпуска. Купите шорты цвета хаки. Комбинируйте шорты с подходящими носками и обувью.


Should you suspect that you have entered a minefield or mined area, either because you see warning signs, you see a mine or potential mine, or because a detonation occurs, remain calm and carefully back out of danger by stepping in your footsteps.  If possible, do not turn around.  Look behind you as you walk, and slowly place your feet exactly where they were before.  Continue until you are sure you are out of danger, such as when you reach a road or other frequently traveled area. If you have to move forward for some reason, or you can't see your tracks to backtrack, you'll need to probe the ground for mines and move forward little by little. Probe the ground very carefully with your hands or feet; you can also use a knife or another object to gently probe the area inch by inch.  Probe at an angle, rather than straight down, since mines are usually detonated from top-down pressure.  Once you've cleared a small area, move forward and continue probing. It's safest to move through the field very slowly and on your belly, rather than walking through. If you're not absolutely sure where you stepped before, and you don't feel comfortable probing, don't risk moving. Inches can be the difference between life and death.  Call for help or have people nearby do so.  If you are alone and can use a cell phone, call for help.  Do not use two-way radios unless absolutely necessary. The signal from the radio may cause certain types of mines or UXO to accidentally detonate.  If you have no way of reaching anyone, wait.  Do not try to "make a run for it" and do not attempt to probe your way out unless you know what you are doing. When exiting a minefield be alert for signs that a mine may detonate. Listen for unusual noises.  You may notice a faint click if a pressure plate has been depressed or a tilt rod has been moved, or, more likely, you may hear the pop of the exploding cap.  Pay attention to what you can feel, as well.  If you are very alert and proceed slowly you may be able to feel the tension of a trip wire, for...

TL;DR in Russian:

Отходите из заминированного района. Исследуйте землю. Получите помощь, если вы ничего не понимаете. Обратите внимание на наличие признаков, что мина может вот-вот взорваться. Немедленно бросайтесь на землю, если началась детонация. Отметьте место опасности и сообщите о нем в соответствующие органы.


Shovel away all the old mulch, debris, and rocks so that you can see the tree trunk. A "mulch volcano” occurs when mulch is piled up year after year on the base of a tree. Mulch piled up at the base of a tree is detrimental and starves the roots of needed oxygen. Up-growing roots can wrap around the base of the tree and kill it over time. If you notice any roots growing upward around the tree as you clear away old mulch, cut them away. Up-growing roots are a sign that the tree is starved for oxygen. Scrape the area around the base of the tree to get rid of any weeds or grass. Once you shovel away excess mulch, dirt, and rocks, you should see the primary root flare around the base of the tree.  Mulch will act as a natural weed-barrier. Roll-out weed barriers, which are also called landscaping fabric, starve the tree of oxygen and compact the soil underneath -- you should avoid using them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сгребите старую мульчу, землю и камни. Обрежьте тянущиеся вверх корни садовыми ножницами. Лопаткой или посадочной вилкой уберите траву и другие сорняки.


Show confidence in who you are, and that you have many good things to offer others.  Avoid being overly confident by being kind and appreciative of others.  Avoid bragging about yourself, or making the conversation all about you when talking to a girl. For example, let's say you just met a girl, and she asks about what work you do.  Maybe you want to brag about how much money you make.  While this may seem like a good way to impress a girl, it's important to be humble, and instead focus more on what you enjoy about your work. Avoid being hard or down about yourself.  Try to focus the conversation on things that you enjoy doing, rather than what makes you annoyed or unhappy.  Avoid making the conversations intense or morbid. Show that you can be friendly and kind to others, not just to the girl you’re talking to.  Learn to be more comfortable around acquaintances or people you don’t know by asking questions about their interests. Avoid making her feel dumb, uninteresting, or rude.  Be thoughtful in what you say and how you say it.  If you think that what you say may come out wrong, or seem hurtful, avoid blurting it out.  Think before you speak.  Take a few seconds to process what you’ll say.  Imagine whether your words could come off as rude, cold, or unfeeling if you were in the girl’s shoes. Remember that each person is different.  One girl may react in one way, and another girl might react differently.  Be prepared for the possibility that what you say may not work out as well as you thought. Be supportive when someone is feeling down, frustrated, or confused.  Showing empathy and concern is a step towards a better relationship.  Offer your help in some way.  For example, if she’s had a bad day and she’s carrying lots of stuff, offer to help with carrying some of the items. Avoid trying to quickly find solutions to her problems. She may just want to have emotional support, rather than advice on what to do. Offer hugs to help console her.  If she’s very sad or tearful, be welcoming, but make sure that it’s...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ведите себя уверенно, при этом проявляя скромность. Будьте внимательны к ее чувствам. Поддерживайте ее, когда  она в этом нуждается.


Show her that you care about her time and that, while you want to talk to her, you don’t want to bother her. Make sure that she’s not getting work done, hanging out with friends, or otherwise occupied. Before you message her, check her status to make sure it doesn’t say that she’s busy. If you really like her and want to impress her, you shouldn’t have to pretend to enjoy talking to her. Sincerity goes a long way, and you’ll have a much easier time maintaining a good conversation if you actually want to get to know her.  Thoughtful questions, relevant responses to her answers, and specific compliments will help let her know you’re sincere. For example, if she tells you that she's stressed about having a ton of studying to do, don't change the subject or talk about how much you have on your plate. Instead, say something like, "Well that's no good! Should I let you get to work? Or maybe I could help you study?" If you ask her how she’s doing and she says “Not great,” ask her why. Tell her you’d be happy to chat about anything that’s bothering her. She’ll appreciate the fact that you’re willing to let her vent, and you might even be able to impress her by giving her great advice about her problem. Even if you think you’re paying her a compliment, you’ll just make her feel disrespected, and there’s nothing more unimpressive than that. Being courteous, polite, and genuine will help you stand out better than anything else. If the two of you know each other outside of social media or are comfortable enough, you could ask her if she wants to video chat. Just keep it clean, and have a nice, face-to-face conversation.

TL;DR in Russian:

Спросите, удобно ли девушке разговаривать. Проявляйте искренний интерес к ее личности. Позвольте девушке выговориться после тяжелого дня. Не присылайте и не просите прислать вам непристойные фотографии или включить видеосвязь.


Show interest and enthusiasm.  Girls are more likely to engage in conversation with you if you are approachable.  Give off the impression that you’d like to help, or at least be open to conversation.   Use body language that indicates openness.  Smile.  Maintain good eye contact.  Turn and face the girl when talking. Avoid defaulting to checking your phone, computer or other devices. Show that you’re not too busy to have a conversation with the girl.  For example, if a girl talks with you at a party, and you're constantly distracted by your phone, she'll likely think you don't want to talk with her, or aren't friendly. Avoid tensing up or getting anxious when the girl approaches or engages in conversation.  Keep your body loose and avoid fidgeting. Have active listening skills that demonstrate empathy and engagement with what the girl is saying.  Avoid making the conversation only about you and your interests.  A good conversation is a two-way street.  Pay attention when the girl is talking.  Avoid distractions. Summarize or restate what you heard.  Repeat it back to her for clarification or to demonstrate that you were listening.  For example, “Let me see if I heard what you’re saying…” Reflect on what was said or provide feedback.  For example, “It sounds like you had a tough night after talking with your parents.” Validate what you’ve heard.  For example, “I can totally understand where you’re coming from.” Allow for pauses and silences for a few seconds.  Avoid interrupting until the girl has finished her thoughts. While you may not always have the same interests or feelings about a situation, being nice involves showing genuine interest, and being willing to care about what others say and do.  Ask question to know more about something that she’s interested in.  Find something she likes that you can gravitate towards.  For example, if she’s interested in cats and bicycling, and you’re not really into cats but like bikes, focus the questions around bicycling. Avoid getting distracted or zoning out.  When...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте открытым и доступным. Будьте хорошим слушателем. Покажите, что вас интересует то, что девушка говорит и делает. Избегайте незначительных разногласий.


Show respect by humbling yourself before God. Dress plainly (if you can), do not show off your prayer pridefully to those nearby, and pray on your knees with head bowed (if you can). You may want to begin by reading a passage from the Bible which has significance and meaning to you. This will open your heart to His word and show him your devotion. Thank God for all of his blessings. Thank him for the things that make you happy, that make your life better, or that make the world a better place. Understand that these blessings are God showing his love for his people and should be celebrated and appreciated. Ask God's forgiveness for the mistakes that you make. Keep your heart open and remember that we all make mistakes: nobody is perfect. Though you may have trouble admitting it or thinking of a mistake you have made, you will find some way that you can be better. Be sincere and you will know in your heart if God forgives you. Ask God's guidance. He isn't a genie or some magical granter of wishes...He is merely there to guide you on the path you are meant to follow. Ask him to lead you and show you the right decisions and the ways to better yourself as a person, as well as the world and people around you. Pray for those who you feel need prayers. You can pray for your family, for your friends, or for strangers. Ask God to show them His love and to also help them find their way when they are lost. Do not cast judgement on them or their problems: God is the only Judge and He will do what is right. Remember that people are not the Devil or demons; they are souls, just as you are, and can be led by God. Don't ask for them to be struck down, ask for them to realize their mistakes and seek forgiveness just as you do. Close your prayer in whatever way you feel is appropriate. The most common way is to say 'Amen'.

TL;DR in Russian:

Покажите уважение. Читайте Библию. Поблагодарите Бога. Попросите прощения. Просите указания дороги. Молитесь за других. Завершите свою молитву.
