You could also try joining something like the chess club, which encourages logical thinking. In some schools, there are clubs where students work together on a single creation over the course of your semester. See if your school offers a club like this. Imagination is vital to becoming an inventor. Engage in a variety of hobbies that feed your imagination and allow you to develop the innovative mind of an inventor.  Hobbies like baking sometimes...

Учитесь мыслить творчески. Сосредоточьтесь на предметах НТИМ. Запишитесь в школьные кружки и секции. Находите творческие хобби и увлечения.


If you want to be debt free, you need to freeze all of your inessential spending and avoid buying things that you can't afford. If you can't pay for something in cash, today, you don't need it. Commit to the process and the journey of remaining free of debt and enjoy the freedom that it brings. Being debt free doesn't mean living like a miser. If you want to spend a little on vacation, or splurge a little every now and then, feel free to go for it. Just make sure that these kind of fun expenses come from monthly income that's in excess, not being charged on accounts that are already swollen beyond capacity. Every paycheck, put aside some money for bills, food, and other needed necessities of living, and some money aside to save. Also put aside a little money for non-necessities. It's important to be able to buy things you want without going into debt. Keep saving money, and paying off bills so that you can pay off your debt. For many people, debt happens because we think we deserve a certain quality of life. Why don't we deserve the expensive cars, the fine jewelry, and the fancy vacations that other people can afford? This kind of thinking is how people get sunk into heavy debts they struggle their whole life to pay off. Learn to be happy living within your means, and take pleasure in every dollar you save, in every day that you spend out from under the boot of someone else's money. Be free. Medical debts quickly sink financially secure people into financial trouble.

If you want to be noticeable to your crush, you have to make everyone else notice you too, not saying you have to be popular! Get out of the shadows and start by following your passions and achieving your goal. Do the things that make you happy and do them without feeling worried about what other people think of it. People will admire your dedication and you'll be happy about it, knowing you just did something amazing! Learn a new skill that you want in order to get people to see just how amazing you really are and how dedicated you are. You can teach yourself to play an instrument or take up another skill, like running track or something else that you want to do. Just do something you've always wanted to fulfill! Of course, getting people to notice you means that you have to actually talk to people you think you could be friends with. Get out there and be more social. Go to events with your friends, make some new friends, and get involved in things that are going on. The most important thing is to get up off the couch and start living your life loud and proud. If all you do is sit around, you're going to be bored, and probably to other people as well as your crush, might think you want to be alone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следуйте за своими желаниями. Учитесь новому. Будьте общительны. Живите своей жизнью!


If you want to be popular, you'll need to be seen and known around your school. Joining an extracurricular activity can help boost your status and will be something to mention in your future résumé. It has the added benefit of allowing you to make new friends and increasing your popular nature.  You can find people with common interests by joining a club that personally speaks to your passions. If you're interested in journalism, for example, joining the newspaper club can help. If you're focusing on popularity, you may want to see what kinds of clubs the popular kids are joining. If the most popular boys and girls in school are all in the debate club, this may be a great place to meet popular students. In many schools, a lot of girls and boys are involved in sports or athletics. Joining a sports team may help you get to know the popular students. If you end up excelling at sports, you may become popular yourself.  Train if you're unfamiliar with a certain sport. If you want to join the basketball team, for example, practice shooting hoops at a local park. You may have to get in shape to join certain clubs. Make sure you start small when it comes to getting in shape, as you don't want to overexert yourself. Start with small exercise sessions and work your way up. Do not get too discouraged if you don't make a school sport's team. Remember that you can always try out again next year. It is also important to stay in shape if you're willing to get better for next year's try-outs. . Are the class presidents, treasurers, and representatives popular in your school? If so, you may benefit from running for student council. At the beginning of the year, when elections are held, try to get a campaign team together and go for a spot in student council.  Make sure you learn the rules and regulations for running for student council. You may have to get your parents' or guardians' signatures and sign up by a certain deadline. Think of a great campaign slogan and plaster it on decorative poster boards. Put up your posters...

If you want to be self-confident, then the first thing you have to do is to think about all of the things you already have going for you. You may feel like there's nothing good about you, that you have no redeeming qualities, and that everyone around you is somehow better-looking and more impressive than you are. Well, all of that has to go out the window if you're determined to change! Make a list of all of the things you're good at, from being a good listener to having a great singing voice. These qualities may not mean much to you, but you have to think about the fact that you do have plenty of things to be proud of.  If you really like the list idea, then you can even keep the list handy. Add to it whenever you think, "Oh, right, there's something else I'm good at..." When you're feeling low or like you're not worth much, read it over and you'll feel better. Talk to a close friend about it. Ask your friend what he or she thinks your strengths are. Your friend may come up with something that you never even considered because it was right before your eyes! Of course, optimism, like Rome, cannot be built in a day, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it to start building a foundation of positive thinking and an expectation for the best. Optimism and confidence often go hand in hand, because people who are hopeful for the future and expect good things to happen tend to think that good things will happen to them if they go out into the world or just try hard enough. Practice monitoring your thoughts to see how many of them are negative, and work to counteract every negative thought with at least three positive ones. With enough hard work, you'll soon be able to see the world in a more favorable light. The next time you're with your friends, practice talking about the exciting things in your life or the things you have to look forward to, and you'll see that people will respond better to you, and that you'll find yourself in a better mood. Being prepared for any situation -- within reason -- can also help you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Гордитесь своими сильными сторонами. Работайте над тем, чтобы стать оптимистом. Подготовьтесь. Прекратите сравнивать себя с другими людьми. Избавьтесь от источников негатива.


If you want to be sophisticated, then you have to be prepared to discuss sophisticated subjects and to avoid the less classy subjects whenever you can. Be prepared to discuss current events, politics, literature, art, cultural events, or anything that shows that you’re a well-rounded individual who is aware of what is going on in the world. Being sophisticated is about more than just the look—your words have to show that you’re sophisticated, too.  You don’t have to artificially insert sophisticated subjects into a conversation if the people around you are discussing something completely different. But if you naturally bring up a sophisticated subject or if the people around you are already discussing something sophisticated, you have to be prepared to jump in. If you’ve recently travelled somewhere or have read something interesting about another culture, you can share this information with other people. Just make sure that you don’t end up boring them with information that sounds irrelevant. Here are some sophisticated subjects: museums, good wine, foreign cultures and languages, travel experiences, political movements, philosophy, literature, and film. Knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what you should not talk about. Though you shouldn’t completely censor yourself and end up sounding like another person, if you want to sound sophisticated, then you have to avoid discussing subjects that make people cringe, roll their eyes, or generally feel like leaving the room. Here are some subjects that you should avoid talking about if you want to sound sophisticated:  How much money you make Bodily functions Your latest hookup How drunk you got last night Don’t go out and teach yourself French just for the sake of being sophisticated, but do know that if you really want to be sophisticated, then you have to be open-minded and to have some knowledge about other cultures and the way that people in different countries live their lives; the easiest way to do this is to master a foreign language....

TL;DR in Russian:

Обсуждайте утонченные вещи. Не обсуждайте ничего такого, что заставляет людей чувствовать себя некомфортно. Научитесь говорить больше чем на одном языке. Не используйте грубые выражения. Расширяйте словарный запас. Умейте изысканно спорить. Говорите о себе скромно.


If you want to be sophisticated, then you have to master sophisticated body language so other people are instantly impressed when they see the way you carry yourself. Sophisticated people are confident, in charge, and calm, so make sure you’re never walking too fast, wildly searching through your bag for a lost item, or generally acting in a way that makes you look frazzled and unsure of yourself. If you want to look sophisticated, then the movements of your body have to be measured and calm. Here are some other things you can try:  Make eye contact slowly but surely. Don’t stare at people you’re not talking to or avert your gaze from people who are speaking to you. Avoid fidgeting with your hands. Keep them at your sides if you’re standing or fold them on your lap if you’re sitting. Maintain good posture by keeping your back and neck straight and looking ahead of you instead of down at the floor. It’s not sophisticated to slouch or hunch over. Part of being sophisticated is mastering the look. Make sure you get your hair cut every two months or so and that you update your haircut at least yearly so that you’re continuing to be current and trendy with your look. You don’t have to follow every trend you see, but you should make sure you look fresh and stylish, and not appear to be rocking the same haircut for the last decade.  Mix it up. If you normally have super long hair, go for a short bob and see how it fits your personality. Part of being sophisticated is being willing to embrace new things without following trends too closely. Consider getting highlights in your hair if you think it’ll enhance your look—but only if you can afford to get it professionally done. If you’re thinking about covering up your gray hairs, make sure it’s something you really want. Having a hint of gray in your hair or even rocking a salt and pepper look can actually make you look more sophisticated. Both men and women should keep their faces looking sophisticated and well-groomed. Here’s what they should do:   Women should wear...

TL;DR in Russian:

Освойте утонченный язык тела. Сделайте утонченную стрижку. Следите за своим лицом. Одевайтесь со вкусом. Подбирайте стильные аксессуары.


If you want to be stubborn, then you have to know how to be firm about what you want. If you can’t say what you want clearly, calmly, and with confidence, then you won’t be able to be truly stubborn. However, if people see that you’re really serious about what you want, then they’ll be much less likely to try to change your mind or to think you’re a pushover.  Look people in the eye when you say what you want. Let them see that you mean it. If you look at the ground or away, it’ll look like you’re unsure of what you want. Speak slowly and clearly. Make sure you’re talking loudly enough so that people can hear you and see that you mean business. Use confident language. Instead of saying, “I was wondering if there was any chance you could let me borrow your car some time,” say, “I really need to borrow your car as soon as I can. I would really appreciate it if you could help me.” Another way to help yourself be assertive and stubborn when it comes to getting what you want is to provide concrete evidence for why you should get whatever it is you’re asking for. If you just state what you want without giving any reasons for why you need it or why it shouldn’t be that hard for the person you’re talking to to make it happen, then your request will sound wishy-washy, or like you haven’t put a lot of thought into it.  Make sure to plan what you’re going to say before you say it. Come up with an argument for what you want and what you’ll say to really prove it’s necessary. If you don’t have anything to say when the other person asks, “But why?” then it’ll look like you’re not really invested. Practice asking for what you want in front of a mirror or even with a friend. This can help you gain the confidence you need when you state your demands; it can also help you see if the evidence you’re planning on providing will really help your case. You can say something like, “Mom, I’d like to sleep over at Stella’s house tonight. You promised I could do it if I got my grades up last week, and I just got an ‘A’ on my English...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте тверды в своих требованиях. Представьте доказательства, подтверждающие ваши притязания. Не позволяйте другим людям переубедить вас. Позаботьтесь о себе. Подумайте, стоит ли игра свеч. Выразите уважение человеку, которого вы просите о помощи. Ставьте перед собой цели и добивайтесь их. Учитесь конструктивно справляться с отказами.


If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, then you'll need to get an 8 x 10 inch black and white headshot. You may need to invest some money in a professional photographer, or be careful about finding a trusted and talented friend with a stellar camera, but it will be worth it. You won't be taken seriously if all you have is a selfie or a cheap Polaroid, so make sure to follow through on this part. A good headshot can help you look like a professional, and can also help stunt coordinators or producers see whether you have the look they want. A headshot is like your business card as a stunt man; if you don't have one readily available, then how do you expect people you meet in the business to remember you? You may think that you don't need a résumé to be a stunt man because so much of the work is physical, but that's not the case. You should treat your career just like any other, where a résumé is crucial to helping the people who are hiring you to figure out if you're good for the part. The most important thing is remember is that you have to be honest. Don't try to impress people by saying you have skills you don't really possess, or you will be in trouble -- and even possibly in danger -- if you're picked for the role. Here are some important elements that you should list on your résumé:  Your height, weight, shoe size, and any other physical measurements Your union affiliation (more on this later) Film and TV credits (if you have any) A list of skills or special abilities, such as rock climbing, scuba diving, boxing, or martial arts If you want to find work as a stunt man, then you have to join a union, so that you can be legally hired to perform in films, music videos, or television. In America, the two major unions are the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), which is the more prestigious of the two, or the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. In England, you will have to join the Join Industry Stunt Committee's Stunt Register (JISC); look into the guilds in your country if these do not...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте фотографию. Составьте резюме. Вступите в ассоциацию каскадеров. Найдите первую работу. Будьте терпеливы. Подумайте о другой профессии.


If you want to be tough, you first have to start accepting yourself for who you are. If you prefer staying up late to read science-fiction, as opposed to keeping up with the hottest television show, so be it. If a group of people think something’s funny, but you don’t, so what? Pretending to be someone you’re not is an obvious sign of insecurity or weakness. People can easily pick up on it, and you surely won’t look so tough if someone calls you out on it. This goes hand-in-hand with step 1. If you’ve accepted who you are, then you have the groundwork you need to become self-confident. What does this have to do with being a tough girl? Easy. If you’re confident and comfortable in who you are, then you can confidently handle any situation that comes your way. You’ll be confident in your beliefs and the decisions you make. And you won’t be afraid to let others know it. Here are some ways you can improve your self-confidence.  Make a list of things you admire about yourself, your strengths, and achievements on a sheet of paper. Turn a blank sheet of paper horizontally and either fold into thirds or simply draw two vertical lines to create three columns. In each column, write at least five things you like about yourself, at least five things you feel you’re great at, and at least five things you’re proud to have achieved. Do you think you have a great smile? Do you have a knack for making people laugh when they’re feeling down? Are you proud of the evening you spent feeding the homeless? Write down whatever comes to mind. Read over your list often as a reminder of how great you are. Think positively about yourself. Pinpoint a couple qualities about yourself (maybe some that you wrote down in your list) and think about them often. Another tip: take those negative thoughts and reverse them. If you’re thinking, “I hate the way I look,” you could say: “My eyes are really pretty.”  Dress to feel better about yourself. If you feel your wardrobe doesn’t reflect the real you or make you happy, find clothes that do. If...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте верны себе. Работайте над самооценкой. Перестаньте переживать из-за того, что о вас подумают другие. Не принимайте все близко к сердцу. Научитесь контролировать эмоции. Окружите себя крутыми друзьями. Поддерживайте здоровые отношения со своим партнером.


If you want to be true to the name "boyfriend jeans," then you want to wear a pair of jeans that look like they could have been borrowed from your boyfriend -- which means they probably weren't his newest, shiniest-looking pair. Whether they're frayed, faded, or have a few tears, the jeans should look a bit worn, even if you just bought them an hour ago. Don't go overboard with this. Your jeans can look slightly worn without appearing messy, really old, or just generally looking like they need to be donated or thrown out ASAP. Though the boyfriend jeans are meant to look a bit big and like they could have belonged to a man, they shouldn't actually be made to fit a man's body. If you buy a pair of men's pants, they'll be too baggy, too big around the waist, and they won't have the same flattering cut around the front and back. Make sure to resist the temptation to actually wear a pair of men's pants and to invest in -- or borrow -- a pair of women's boyfriend jeans instead. Though boyfriend jeans are usually low-waisted, you can also buy a mid-to-high waisted version of these jeans. The kind of cut that is best for you depends on your body type. If you carry extra weight around your middle, then you should stick to mid- or high- waisted jeans to avoid getting a "muffin top" look. But if your figure is relatively straight and you're on the thin side, then low-waisted jeans can help give your body the appearance of more curves and definition.  Though the pants are made to look a bit big and worn, that does not mean that they shouldn't fit you correctly. The right pair of boyfriend jeans should fit you around the waist, whether it's low-cut, mid-cut, or high-cut. The jeans should be loose around your legs, but not so baggy that your figure is lost in them. You can find boyfriend jeans in a variety of washes, from very light blue to very dark denim. Most often, a darker wash is dressier and a bit more formal than a lighter wash. Darker jeans are better for more formal events, and may suit older women a bit better...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите поношенные джинсы. Выберите женские штаны. Подумайте о форме джинсов. Подумайте о цвете ваших джинсов. Найдите качественные джинсы. Вы можете укоротить джинсы. Наденьте ремень.


If you want to become a meteorologist, start preparing in high school. Take advanced math and science courses. Many schools offer AP courses that can transfer into college credit.  Take calculus, physics, chemistry, and earth science. Hone your writing skills in English classes. Being a scientist means writing research papers and lab reports. If you become a meteorologist on a television station, you will have to communicate clearly. Meteorologists use computers to help with their research and weather predictions. They work with computer programs and computer models when doing research. You need a deep understanding of computers and technology to pursue a career in this field. Meteorologists receive a bachelor's of science degree in meteorology or atmospheric sciences.  In college, you will take math and science classes, such as calculus, physics, dynamics, synoptics, and some computer programming courses.  Some meteorologists receive degrees which combine meteorology with other scientific fields, such as chemistry, geology, oceanography, physics, or statistics. It may be beneficial to take computer science classes during your degrees, too.  If you want to be a TV meteorologist, take classes in journalism, speech, or other media-related fields. If you want to start working for the government right after your bachelor's degree, you will have to have completed courses which fall under strict guidelines. You must have at least 24 credit hours of atmospheric science or meteorology. Depending on the job you want, you may need to get a master's or Ph.D. Most meteorologists get degrees in related, interdisciplinary subjects. Some even get two master's in different sciences. Some graduate degree programs encourage bachelor's in a field like math or computer science instead of meteorology.  Many higher level positions require at least a master's. If you want to do research, you will need a Ph.D.  There are about 100 undergraduate and graduate programs for meteorology. A good way to get experience at any point during...

If you want to become a prodigy, you'll need to pursue your passions. If you decide to work in a field that fascinates you, you're more likely to be motivated to develop the skill set necessary to becoming a prodigy.  What inspires and fascinates you? What has always been interesting to you, ever since childhood? If you start with a field you already have some knowledge and interest in, you'll have a head start in developing the skills of a prodigy.  Do you already have some skills due to hobbies? Do you sketch casually? Play the piano on the weekends? If you choose to work on a skill you're already somewhat proficient at, your practice will be of higher quality. There is no quick and easy way to develop the skills necessary to become a prodigy. You'll simply need to practice as much as possible.  Focus when you practice. Keep your mind in the here and now. All you need to do is complete this one skill in this one moment. Do not let your mind wander to other things during practice sessions.  Incorporate practice into your day-to-day life. Make time for practicing in your schedule as you would brushing your teeth at night or showering in the morning. People are often controlled by fear. If you fear failure or mediocrity, this can hold you back from developing new skills and pursuing your passion. Try to have confidence in yourself at all times. Be confident, bold, and willing to try new things even if you'll sometimes fail in the process. Fearing failure or less than perfect results will only hold you back as you attempt to become a prodigy. You cannot achieve the talents of a prodigy without guidance. Find the best teacher possible if your goal is to become a prodigy.  How you find the right teacher depends greatly on the skill set you're working to build. If you want to be a writing prodigy, for example, consider applying for a top-tier Master of Fine Arts program, such as the Iowa Writer's Workshop, in order to gain access to great teachers. If you want to be a ballet prodigy, look into prestigious dance...

TL;DR in Russian:

Следуйте страстным увлечениям. Постоянная практика. Уверенность в себе. Найдите хорошего учителя.


If you want to become a professional dancer, you will need proper training. You will need to take a variety of classes, beginning with beginner classes and moving up as your skill level increases. However, classes can be fun and helpful even if your goal is to two-step at a local dance club. For cheap classes, check with local dance studios, your city's parks and recreation programs, and even your local community college. You can also major in dance at a university. However, these programs are very competitive, and most of them will be difficult to get into. Also, be aware that many dance programs require you to be a certain weight to be a part of the program. If you've taken a few classes and want to just have fun as a dancer, try auditioning for community theater. In most community theater programs, you'll run into amateurs like yourself, so you'll be in good company. Work with your future spouse to choreograph your dance for your wedding. It's one way to make that first dance truly special. Maybe you want to just impress your friends at the dance club. If that's true, try out your moves on a Saturday night.

TL;DR in Russian:

Запишитесь на занятия. Выберите танцы в качестве основного предмета в институте. Запишитесь на пробы в местный театр. Поставьте танец для своей свадьбы сами. Отправляйтесь в клуб.


If you want to build a lot of muscle, you need to eat a lot of protein. Studies have shown that people who eat protein gain muscle faster than those who don't. The reason is simple; your body uses protein to build muscle. The more protein you give your body, the more muscle you can build. If you're just beginning a workout routine, it's very important to get enough protein if you want to see fast results.   For every pound of body weight you have, you need to eat .73 grams (0.026 oz) of protein. For example, a 180 pound man would need to eat 130 grams (4.6 oz) of protein every day. It's best to evenly split your protein intake over three meals so that your body absorbs it properly; so, if you needed 120 grams (4.2 oz) of protein a day, you would eat about 40 grams (1 oz) of protein with each meal. Think about what foods you like. How many of them are high in protein? For example, lean beef is an excellent source of protein. In a four ounce serving of lean ground beef there are 29 grams (1 oz) of protein. If you like lean beef, try to incorporate this into your diet more often. If you don't eat meat, quinoa is also an excellent source of protein, with eight grams of protein per cup serving. Other good sources of protein include beets, eggs, brown rice, Greek yogurt, and chicken. Don't eat too much of the same thing; try to vary your diet so that you stay healthy. If you're trying to build muscle, you need to give your body the tools it needs to build that muscle. That means that you'll be eating a lot more calories than you're used to eating. To find out how many calories you need, multiply your body weight by twenty. For example, a 180 pound man needs to eat 3,600 calories per day to gain muscle.  Make sure you're working out hard in the gym! If you eat over 2,000 calories a day without any exercise you could gain fat instead of muscle. Stay away from sugary and fatty food! Get most of your calories from meats, vegetables, grains, and fruits by eating a balanced diet.

TL;DR in Russian:

Употребляйте подходящую для ваших целей пищу. Ешьте богатую белком пищу. Ешьте больше здоровой пищи.


If you want to burn a movie file so that it plays on any DVD player, you'll need special "DVD authoring" software. There are lots of these programs available, but DVD Styler is free and open-source. You can download it from dvdstyler.org/en/downloads.  Chrome may report the DVDStyler installation file as malware. If you get this warning, use a different browser to download the installer. Pay attention when installing the program. As of 6/6/2015, the Windows 64-bit installer did not bundle any adware, but this may change in the future. Read every installation screen carefully. When you launch DVD Styler for the first time, you'll be taken to the New Project window. There are a few settings you can adjust here before adding your video file(s):  Disc label - This is the name that will appear when the disc is inserted in a computer. Disc capacity - Most DVDs are DVD-5 (4.7 GB). If you have Dual Layer (DL) discs, select DVD-9 (8.5 GB). Video/Audio bitrate - This affects the quality of the video and audio. Most users can leave these at their defaults. Video Format - Choose PAL if you live in a PAL region (Europe, Asia, Brazil) or NTSC for NTSC regions (Americas, Japan, Korea). You will be prompted to change this if you add media that is in a different format. Aspect Ratio - Choose 4:3 if you're going to play the DVD on a standard definition television. Choose 16:9 if you're going to play the DVD on an HDTV. Note that this will not affect the aspect ratio of the actual video file. Audio Format - You can choose between AC3 or MP2. Most users can leave this on AC3. DVD Styler comes with several menu templates that you can choose from. You can also select "No template", which will just start playing the video as soon as the disc is inserted. This will add the video to your project. DVD Styler supports most video formats so you won't need to convert before adding.  The bar at the bottom of the window will display how many minutes of video you have used and how many you still have free. Depending on the type of video...

If you want to carve stone into a shape for a project, or carve curves into stone, you have options as well. First, you need to gather some tools. The process of carving and shaping stone is a bit more delicate.  You will need a chisel set containing the following types of chisels: a large, heavy chisel, a point chisel, a claw chisel, a flat chisel, and a file. Chisel sets can be purchased online and at most hardware stores, but can get pricey. A set may cost up to $100. You will need dust masks to wear during the shaping process, as well as safety goggles. Leather gloves are a good idea as your hands may get sore while carving. To start, making a drawing of the object you're trying to carve. This can help guide you during the process. You may be making a fancy shape, like a flower, or just making a curved corner or a tile for a larger project. At any rate, sketch a rough drawing of your shape. You can use found stones, or slabs of stones you purchase at a hardware store, for your project. When selecting a stone to use, especially with found stones, you want to select something close to the shape you want. If a stone has a curved edge, for example, this would be a good option to carve out a curved corner. This will result in less extensive work for you as you shape the stone. From here, draw out your design on the stone itself. If you're carving a curve, draw the direction and shape of the curve along the edge of the stone. If you're drawing a fancy shape, like a flower, for example, draw out the shape of the petals, buds, and so on against the stone. You can use a marker or a pencil to draw on your stone. Now you can begin shaping to stone. Take your largest, heaviest chisel to start. You will use this to carve out the rough shape of the stone. Do not worry, during this process, if the stone does not look much like your desired shape. You will go through several different rounds of carving, and you're just trying to get a very rough outline here.  Scrape your chisel along the stone, carving it into the rough...

TL;DR in Russian:

Соберите необходимые инструменты. Начертите на листе бумаги эскиз того, что вы хотели бы получить. Выберите камень, форма которого близка к желаемой. Нанесите эскиз на сам камень. Обозначьте приблизительную форму крупным и тяжелым зубилом. Используйте точечное зубило, чтобы выровнять следы, которые остались после большого зубила. Сгладьте неровности зубчатым зубилом. Удалите полосы плоским зубилом. Отшлифуйте поверхность напильником.


If you want to catch the guy’s eye, then you shouldn’t hover around him, trying to make eye contact all day. Instead, you should work on doing your own thing, having a great time with your girlfriends, hitting up the dance floor, or just having a blast without needing a guy. You can smile at him and let him know you’ve noticed him, but focus on having a great time and he’ll want to be right there with you.   Of course, it’s impossible to be in a good mood all of the time. If you’re really having a down day, you shouldn’t feel the need to completely fake it. That said, though, you should work on cultivating a positive energy as much as you can. Potential boyfriends and potential friends are drawn to positive energy like moths to a flame. The more you laugh and the more joy you have in even the smallest things in life, like a clear night sky or an adorable puppy, the more people will be gravitating toward you. You shouldn’t be too chilly or mysterious if you want to get the guy you want, or he may think that you don’t really like him or that you’re just not very nice. Instead, you can be friendly, introduce yourself, and make a bit of small talk without letting him see that you really like him. Show him that you’re fun to talk to while leaving him wondering where your feelings are at; this will leave him to want to talk to you even more.  Don’t be afraid to say hi and to ask how he is. If he’s wearing a funny shirt, tell him you think it’s cool. Don’t put too much pressure on your first exchanges and just focus on having fun. Being friendly to others will also make you look like an awesome person who is worth getting to know. Don’t limit your friendliness to the guys you like and make an effort to get to know everyone in your orbit. Though you may think that “be yourself” is tired advice, the best thing you can really do to get the guy you want is to be just who you are instead of putting up a front or acting like a girl you think the guy would rather be with instead. Don’t hide your best qualities, even if...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте ему видеть вас веселой. Будьте дружелюбны, но не давайте пока ему знать о ваших чувствах. Будьте сами собой. Флиртуйте. Не будьте слишком  серьезной. Станьте для него заметной. Удивите его своей уверенностью. Будьте реалисткой.


If you want to change the relationship you have with your mom, don't be afraid to take the first step. IF both of you are waiting for the other one to initiate change, nothing will ever happen.  Sometimes changing the relationship requires changing yourself. For example, if your relationship with your mother is strained because you have betrayed her trust, work on becoming more responsible and earning that trust back. The longer you wait to resolve conflicts, the worse they will become, so deal with your issues as soon as possible. Some things just aren't worth arguing over, so don't let these small things get in the way of the healthy relationship you are trying to build. If you are tempted to start arguing with your mom about something, take a moment to consider whether you would be better off just letting it go.  This is usually the best strategy for small, inconsequential things. For example, if you and your mom disagree about what kind of party you should throw for your dad's birthday, you may want to just let it slide. Don't just brush aside issues that are really important to you. For example, if you and your mom disagree about what you should study at college, you should not disregard your own opinions just to avoid a conflict. No matter what the problems between you and your mom may be, try to look at the situation from her perspective and understand how she must feel. Being empathetic will help you get past quarrels that you have had with your mom and move on.  Always take a moment to think about why your mom might feel the way she does. Keep in mind that her various life experiences will influence her opinions. Doing your best to understand where she is coming from is a great way to start having more empathy for your mom. It's important to keep in mind that your mom is a human being who makes mistakes, just like you. Don't expect her to be perfect. No matter what has happened between you and your mom in the past, you have the power to forgive her. Forgiving does not mean that you are condoning your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не ждите, что изменения произойдут сами по себе. Принимайте решения. Проявляйте сопереживание. Умейте прощать ошибки прошлого. Расскажите о своих чувствах. При серьезных разногласиях обратитесь к психологу.


If you want to charm a girl, make her feel special right away and get closer to sweeping her off her feet, then you have to make her see that you don't just see her as any ordinary person. Let her know that you think she's special by complimenting her when you see her. Remember not to say something that might creep her out. Tell her she has amazing hair, a quirky sense of humor, a fantastic laugh, or the most incredible sense of style you've ever seen.  Don't tell her she's beautiful or gorgeous quite yet. Though this is a nice compliment, if you tell her too early, she may feel like you're coming on too strong or being insincere. In your very first or second conversation, try to sneak in a subtle compliment that makes her see that you really see her as an individual, not just as any other girl. You can compliment aspects of her personality, too. Like a strong sense of responsibility, strength of character, morals, etc. Generally, people love to talk about themselves when they are given the chance. If you want to make the girl feel special, and like you really care, then you have to ask her a few questions about her life and her ideas. Don't give her the third degree or make her feel like she's in an interview. Just asking some slightly personal but not intrusive questions can really make her see that you're interested. Here are some topics to ask about:  If she has any pets -- if she does, what breed or what kind of cat or dog does she have? If she has siblings, what are their names, gender, what do they do, etc.? What her favorite movies, bands, books are? What her hobbies are and what she likes about her hobbies? What her job or classes are like for her? If you want the girl to feel special and like you really care about her, then you have to show that her opinions really matter to you. Ask her what she thinks about a variety of topics, from your new shoes to her taste in music. Don't ask any questions that could start a fight right away -- steer away from politics or any other sensitive topics. But asking...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте ей уникальный комплимент. Задавайте вопросы о ней. Интересуйтесь ее мнением. Потратьте время, чтобы действительно выслушать ее. Будьте джентльменом. Поинтересуйтесь ее хобби. Создайте зрительный контакт.


If you want to charm a lady, then you have to make your charm look effortless. If you’re bending over backwards to impress her, doing flips or walking on your hands, or trying out every joke in your arsenal, she’ll be on to your tricks. Instead, take a deep breath, relax, and get ready to work your magic. Speak slowly enough for her to hear you, don’t look like you’re clinging onto every single syllable she says, and don’t comment on the fact that your joke has fallen flat if it does. Just be yourself and the rest will follow.  Remember that if you really want to charm and  succeed with a lady, then you have to show her that you’re comfortable with being who you are. If you’re grinning from ear to ear while sweating and fidgeting, she won’t be charmed. Keep your body language calm and relaxed. Keep your hands at your sides or use them to gesture, keep your posture straight, and look at the lady instead of at the floor. Women love men who have a good sense of humor and who are also able to laugh at themselves. If you want to charm the lady, then you have to show that you don’t take yourself too seriously, and that you’re comfortable enough with who you are to poke fun at yourself. If you know you’re wearing a ridiculous pink shirt, that you have a cute gap in the front of your teeth, or that you’re known to be clumsy, don’t try to hide these adorable qualities from the girl; instead, show that you’re comfortable with who you are, flaws and all.  This doesn’t mean that you should be so self-deprecating that you look like you lack confidence. Just a light joke at your own expense or the ability to laugh at yourself if the lady makes the joke will do just fine.  Remember that a lady doesn’t want to hear really crass humor. The joke at your own expense can be completely PG. This is another way to charm a lady. You don’t have to be completely serious all the time. Talk about your embarrassing nickname for your puppy; show off your ability to juggle. Pull a quarter out of her ear (okay, so maybe not). Don’t be...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не лезьте из кожи вон. Смейтесь над собой. Дурачьтесь. Обратите внимание на свой внешний вид. Улыбайтесь. Очаровывайте людей вокруг . Говорите на иностранном языке. Будьте сексуальны, но недостижимы.


If you want to connect to your audience, then you should consider its knowledge before you select a topic. If you're giving a speech to a group of aspiring writers, then you can comfortably reference other writers and literary terms; if you're speaking to a group that knows very little about writing, be careful when you make more obscure literary references. If you're speaking to a group that is knowledgeable about a topic, then you don't have to waste their time by discussing the most basic aspects of that topic. If you're speaking at a conference for young professionals, you can use more complicated terms and elaborate phrases, but if you're delivering a speech to middle school students, you'll have to change your terms and phrasing to connect to your audience. You don't want to lose your audience by speaking about something that is completely over their heads, or by delivering content in such a basic way that it sounds condescending. What would your audience need to know, and what would interest your audience? Put yourself in your audience's shoes and make a list of all of the things the audience would care about; an audience of teenagers would care about very different things from an audience of middle-aged adults. Imagine yourself as one of the audience members. If they're teenagers, pretend you're a teenager. Try seeing your topic choice from their perspective. If it bores or overwhelms you, then it won't be the right choice. Knowing the age, gender, and race of the members in your audience can help influence your topic. If most of your audience is over the age of 65, then you probably wouldn't talk about current fashion trends on the runway; if most of your audience is under the age of 20, then you wouldn't talk about saving for retirement.  If there are many more males than females in your audience, for example, then it may be best to pick a gender neutral or male-geared topic. Knowing the race of your audience can help pick a topic. If you have a diverse audience, then something about race relations...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о том, что знает ваш средний слушатель. Подумайте про образование ваших слушателей. Подумайте про интересы и нужды ваших слушателей. Подумайте про демографический аспект. Подумайте про свои отношения с аудиторией.


If you want to cope with your divorce as best as you can, then you need to give yourself time to grieve. You can't just expect to move on fully as soon as your ex moves out or as soon as the divorce is finalized. Even if the relationship had gone sour a long time ago, you'll still need time to deal with the emotional pain of ending a relationship with someone you once deeply loved. Instead of being in denial about how much you're hurting, you should tackle your feelings of confusion, pain, and sorrow head on.  It's okay to just let yourself cry for a while. This will be therapeutic and will make you feel better -- it's better than keeping these feelings in and letting them build up. If you don't want to be social, talk to your friends, or be out and about for a while, that's okay too. Though you'll feel better once you engage with the world and settle into a comfortable routine, you can't expect to do it overnight. You can keep a journal for writing down all of your thoughts of confusion and pain. This will help you heal as you figure out your feelings. Though you may have a number of regrets about the end of your marriage, whether you regret deeply hurting your loved one, not being around enough, or not taking the time to do the little things that might have helped the relationship grow, you can't waste your time asking "What if..." all day long. This will only make you feel more upset as you try to change things that are out of your control.  Try making a list of all of the things you regret and then tearing it up. Once you write down all of the things that you regret, you'll be able to deal with them more easily. It's likely that your ex is filled with regret, too. But remind yourself that this feeling won't lead you anywhere. Once you're ready to talk to your family and friends about the divorce, you should take the time to open up to a few close friends or family members, or even just one close friend or sibling, so you don't have to face all of your hurt feelings by yourself. Talk to your friends on the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте себе время погоревать. Отпустите свои сожаления. Не проходите через это в одиночку. Примите тот факт, что это конец. Относитесь к себе проще. Обрубите все связи с бывшим партнером, если это возможно.


If you want to create a whole document with one standard line spacing, set the spacing before you begin to save time later. If you have nothing selected, the spacing changes will occur from where your cursor is onwards. To adjust line spacing, click either the Home or the Page Layout tab. In the Home tab, look for the Paragraph section. Click the Line Spacing button to open the Line Spacing dropdown menu. The button has 4 small lines with an arrow pointing both up and down. From this menu, you can select common line spacing options.  If you don’t see the line spacing button, it is most likely missing because the window isn’t large enough. You can access it by clicking the arrow button next to the word Paragraph. This will open the Paragraph menu. In the Paragraph menu, you can adjust the line spacing using the Line Spacing dropdown menu from the Spacing section. In the Page Layout tab click the arrow button next to Paragraph. This will open the Paragraph menu. In the Paragraph menu, you can adjust the line spacing using the Line Spacing dropdown menu from the Spacing section. Besides changing the spacing after each line, you can also adjust the amount of space before and after each paragraph. In the Page Layout tab, look for Spacing in the Paragraph section.  Before will add space before the paragraph begins. After will add spacing every time you press Enter to start a new paragraph. The default line spacing in Word is set to 1.15, not 1. If you want to have truly single-spaced text, you will need to select Single from the Line Spacing dropdown menu.  ”Exactly” will allow you to set an exact spacing between lines, measured in points. There are 72 points to an inch. ”Multiple” will allow you to set larger spacing, such as triple spacing. If you would rather have Word automatically space at something other than 1.15, choose your settings in the Paragraph menu and click the Default… button. Word will ask you to confirm the permanent changes to the default template. You can adjust the spacing for individual...

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите междустрочный интервал перед началом работы. Измените интервал на вкладке «Главная». Измените интервал на вкладке «Разметка страницы». Измените интервал между абзацами.

If you want to cry or scream into a pillow over the breakup, allow yourself to do it. Avoiding negative feelings can extend the time you feel angry or sad. Instead of repressing your emotions, allow yourself to feel the emotions from the breakup so that you can get over it quicker.  Don’t say things like “I don’t care” or “It doesn’t matter,” if you’re still upset about the situation. Lean into the feelings instead. Avoid doing things just to get back at your ex, like dating one of their friends in retaliation. Looking at the relationship from the outside might give you clarity that you don’t have. Think about the reasons you broke up with your ex in the first place. If you weren’t compatible, there’s a likelihood the relationship would have been bad for both of you and was never meant to be.  Even if you didn't want to break up with them, there's still a good chance that you weren't compatible. If you're concerned about your friend because of prior experiences with your ex, it's okay to express that. Just make sure to keep to the facts so that it doesn't look like you're bashing your ex. Signs of an unhealthy relationship include constant fighting, belittling, volatility, manipulation, and jealousy.  You may also may not be financially or emotionally in the same place as your ex. If you have items from the relationship, it may be harder to get over your ex. Get rid of anything sentimental that you own to help distance yourself from them. This will potentially reduce your negative feelings and help you maintain your friendship. Throwing away or tearing up things that remind you of your ex can be a therapeutic experience. Unfollow them or block their content so that you don’t see pictures of them. Following what your ex and friend are doing online is unhealthy and could help feed negative emotions. Distancing yourself from that imagery may help you get over the breakup and prevent you from feeling angry or sad at the situation.  You may also have to stop following your friend if they post photos or information...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвольте себе первое время злиться или грустить. Составьте список причин, почему вы расстались с бывшим партнером. Избавьтесь от вещей, которые напоминают вам о бывшем. Прекратите следить за бывшим в социальных сетях.


If you want to cut fat off your body, you should figure out your starting point. Weigh yourself and measure your body with calipers. Once you have the body fat measurement from your calipers, you can do body fat calculations that take into account your height and weight.  When cutting, you want to maintain your muscle mass while losing fat. This means you need a way to measure whether the weight you lose is from fat and not muscle. Calculating your body fat percentage is the easiest way to assess this. There are a variety of body fat calculators you can use online. You simply input your caliper readings and the other information requested and they will tell you your body fat percentage. When you start cutting you should make a goal for weight loss. This could be an overall goal but many people use a weekly goal. This allows you to track your progress weekly, make changes as you go, and set an end point for cutting.  Many people set a goal of losing 1 pound (16 ounces) per week while cutting. This is typically a reasonable goal that can be attained through dietary and lifestyle changes. A goal of losing more than 1 pound per week would likely require crash dieting or other extreme measures that are not healthy. Calculate when you need to have reached your target weight and work backwards. Make sure that you have enough time to safely lose 1 pound a week and meet your goal. As you begin cutting, don't be afraid to change your program. If you are not losing the weight that you want to, reduce the number of calories you are eating, make changes to what you are eating, or increase your exercise. Figuring out what works for you may take some fine-tuning.  If your cutting routine is not working, consider consulting with a fitness professional for some advice. They may have good insight into what you can do to reach your goals.  Self-discipline is important for cutting. Try to avoid temptation and stick with your new diet until you reach your goal. You need to reduce your caloric intake so that you are eating fewer...

TL;DR in Russian:

Взвесьтесь и рассчитайте процент жира в организме. Поставьте себе цель снизить вес до определенной отметки. Если вы не достигаете цели, скорректируйте тренировки и питание. Подсчитывайте калории.


If you want to deal with criticism, then you have to understand the message behind it. If you've determined that the criticism is meant to be constructive, then you have to break it down so you can start figuring out what to do next. Sometimes, you may be focused on the hurtful aspects of the feedback and your pride may be too wounded for you to see what is right in front of you.  Sure, you weren't happy with the "C" on your English paper. But was your teacher trying to tell you that you were stupid and a horrible writer? Probably not. She wanted to tell you to research your argument more, and to use more concrete evidence to back up your claims. It also wouldn't have hurt to actually meet the word limit, would it? If your friend told you you're obsessed with yourself, sure that hurts. But could there be something helpful behind the message? Sure: your friend is telling you to be a little more empathetic, and to spend more time thinking about others and less time thinking about yourself. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. It's even more likely if you've heard similar comments before. If ten people told you you were selfish, or if your last three girlfriends told you you were emotionally distant, then they can't all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something. Okay, you've decided that your English teacher, boss, boyfriend, or best friend is completely right, or at least somewhat right. Now, you've got to write down the thing you need to work on, and make a plan for addressing it. This can take a long time, and it's never too late to start. Once you come up with a plan, a way of adjusting your expectations and actions, you can begin to address the criticism and become a better person.  If your English teacher is right about you needing to do more research, then make a point of spending twice as much time reading up on...

TL;DR in Russian:

Постарайтесь хорошо понять, что вам в действительности только что сказали. Подумайте о том, есть ли за этими словами правда. Составьте план, который позволит вам соответствующим образом отреагировать на критику. Поблагодарите человека за откровенность (если он говорил с вами вежливо). Перестаньте оправдываться. Помните о том, что конструктивная критика сделает из вас более гармоничного и развитого человека.


If you want to deal with dumb people in the moment, then you should avoid anything that can upset them, make them angry, or make them start a crusade to prove that you're wrong. If you know that this person is pretty stupid and has pretty stupid opinions, then why bother talking about something serious -- which may mean a lot to you. Just stick to the pleasantries, ("Hi, how are you?") if you have to be around the person on a regular basis, and don't bother getting into the highly-debatable topics. Even if you know this person has stupid opinions on controversial topics and you just want to "get him," avoid the temptation. It's not worth it -- not for you or your blood pressure. If a person is acting exceptionally dumb, then chances are, being nice to that person may be the last thing on your mind. Which is precisely why you should act as nice as possible. If you're as nice as possible, then the behavior will disarm and possibly confuse the dumb person, leaving him or her with little to do but be nice back and to stop being so darn stupid. If you're rude, condescending, or even mean, then that will encourage the person to continue to be as dumb as possible. Just grit your teeth and be nice, no matter how much it hurts, and the dumb person will start to annoy you much less. Remember that it's much easier to be kind and polite than to be mean and nasty. Being mean is bad for your spirit and stress levels, and you're doing your own mental well-being a favor by being as nice as much as you can. This is related to avoiding controversial topics. If the dumb person happens to bring up a controversial topic and proceeds to share his particularly dumb opinion on the matter, resist the urge to jump in and prove that person wrong. Be polite, say something like, "You're entitled to your opinion," or "How interesting," without mentioning that you completely disagree. Then, change the topic or excuse yourself. There's absolutely no point in engaging in a debate with a dumb person, even if you think it'll make you feel...

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте спорных тем. Убивайте добротой. Держитесь подальше от политических дебатов. Наблюдайте за своими эмоциями. Попросите их прояснить свою точку зрения фактами. Игнорируйте их, если нет лучшего выхода. Когда у вас есть возможность, просто уходите.


If you want to delete multiple posts or that you've made, you can use your Activity Log. This is the quickest way to scan through the posts and comments that you've made without having to hunt them down. The process is a little different depending on if you're using Android or iPhone:  Android - Tap the More button (☰) in the upper-right corner of the Facebook app. Scroll to the bottom and tap "Activity Log." iPhone - Tap the More button (☰) in the lower-right corner of the Facebook app. Scroll down and tap "Settings." Select "Activity Log" from the menu. You'll only be able to see posts and comments that you've made, not comments that others have made on your posts. This will open a small menu. You will be asked to confirm that you want to remove the item from Facebook. Once you confirm, the post or comment will be permanently deleted.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте журнал действий. Найдите публикацию или комментарий, который хотите удалить. Нажмите кнопку «∨» у публикации или комментария, который хотите удалить. Коснитесь «Удалить», чтобы удалить публикацию или комментарий.


If you want to discover what makes a place special, make it a point to engage with those who call it home. Get out and live among the people rather than just passively observing them. Your taxi driver or tour guide can tell you things that no map can.  Do your best to appear in control at all times. Making it obvious that you're a tourist in over your head can make you an easy target. Stop and ask someone when you need help or directions instead of relying on your mobile device. Make new friends and have them show you around during your stay for a more intimate and authentic experience of the culture. In many ways, traveling is the ultimate teacher. You have a rare chance to dive in headfirst and see so many new and astonishing things firsthand, and to learn about what makes life interesting in the process. Capture new sights on camera, or keep a travel journal to record the details of your adventures. Take advantage of this chance to enrich yourself.  Take part in local cultural events like the Mardi Gras in French New Orleans, Germany's Oktoberfest or the Songkran Water Festival in Thailand. A stacked itinerary will not only keep you busy but allow you to get better acquainted with unique character of a given culture. Traveling is every bit as much about doing and feeling as it is witnessing. Go hang-gliding in the Alps or sign up for salsa lessons in Brazil. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and experience everything a culture has to offer, from its history and politics to its charming and unusual quirks.  Write down a list of specific things you want to see and do, or challenge yourself to try one new thing every day. It’s normal to feel like you’re in over your head at first. This can be a very good thing, as it means you’re able to recognize and appreciate cultural disparities. If you wanted to be completely comfortable at all times, you could just as easily stay home. There are many times when traveling can become a source of frustration, especially when you’re lost somewhere halfway around the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Общайтесь с местными жителями. Впитывайте информацию. Выходите из зоны комфорта. Сохраняйте положительный настрой.


If you want to discuss your concerns about a person's possible drug use, it is best to approach them when they are sober and thinking clearly. Someone who is high on marijuana may have trouble communicating with you or following what you are trying to say. It's best to catch the person when they're in a relatively calm mood. If they've had a rough week, or the two of you have been fighting all day, it's probably better to hold off until the person is in a more positive state of mind. Attempting to talk when the person is in a bad mood can make them more defensive, which means the conversation probably won't be very productive. Depending on the type of relationship you have with the person, you may be able to ask up-front if they are using marijuana. Keep your approach simple, straightforward, and non-judgmental. For example, you might say, “Hey, you've been acting different lately, and I noticed a funny smell in your room. Have you been smoking marijuana?” If the person thinks you are angry at them or judging them, they are less likely to open up to you. Make it clear that you are sympathetic and just want to help. For example, when talking to a friend, you might say, “I noticed you've been canceling a lot when we try to make plans, and you always seem so tired when I see you. Are you doing ok? I've been really worried about you!” Panicking or getting angry is usually counterproductive. Talk to the person calmly, without raising your voice, making threats, or being sarcastic. If you approach them in a hostile or fearful way, they will be less likely to open up to you, and the situation may become worse.

TL;DR in Russian:

Дождитесь, когда человек придет в себя, чтобы поговорить об этом. Выберите время для разговора, когда человек спокоен и расслаблен. Прямо спросите, употребляет ли он марихуану. Дайте ему понять, что вы обеспокоены. Сохраняйте спокойствие.


If you want to dive straight into the most modern technology and start becoming one of the DJs illuminating by the glow of a Macbook on stage, then you're going to need to start with a good pair of CD turntables.  The good news? These are incredibly versatile, useful, and can hold an incredible amount of music. You'll have literally thousands of songs at your fingertips, ready to mash-up beats and verses in crazy combinations, as opposed to being stuck with the crate-full of heavy vinyl you'll have to drag to the club with an old-school set up. The bad news? These are expensive. At the low-end, a single CD turntable can cost up to $700, making an investment for a pair neighboring on the ridiculous. For this reason, many digital DJs prefer to line-in a laptop and play sound files directly, or use Ableton Live. Serato Scratch Live or Traktor Scratch are typical digital DJ packages that allow you to do everything that a vinyl DJ does on his mixer and turntables on your computer. You won't be able to have the same kind of touch available to tactile records, but you can still approximate a lot of the same distinctive sounds and effects, especially if you have a digital turntable or some other way of mixing the sounds manually. There are also devices called DJ controllers, which are almost exactly like video game controllers (in that you use them to plug into your computer, basically). They don't actually play music in and of themselves, but you can use them to simulate the action of mixing on real turntables, but while playing MP3s or other sound files from your computer set-up. At the most basic, being a digital DJ might mean hooking your computer up to a set of good-quality speakers and pushing play on your pre-mixed set lists. It's not the most fun way of playing a DJ set, because it doesn't allow you to read the crowd or acquire any of the skills and touches that an analog DJ has, but it's a popular option, increasingly. Regardless of what kind of turntables you're using, if you want to use any kind of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приобретите несколько CD вертушек. Скачайте программное обеспечение для диджеев. Подумайте о приобретении цифрового контролера проигрывателя. Просто подсоедините свой компьютер к любым колонкам. Приобретите цифровой интерфейс. Приобретите внешний жесткий диск.

If you want to download music that's playing in the background of a website or music from a video that auto-plays upon opening a website, you may be able to use this method to find and download the music file. If the music file you want to download is protected (as in the case of sites like SoundCloud), you won't be able to use your browser's source code. Try using 4K Video Downloader or Audacity if so. Open the website from which you want to extract the audio, and make sure that the website is fully loaded and the audio is playing before proceeding. This step will vary slightly depending on your browser:   Google Chrome — Click ⋮ in the upper-right corner of the window, select More tools, and click Developer tools.  Firefox — Click ☰ in the top-right corner of the window, click Web Developer in the drop-down menu, and click Inspector.  Microsoft Edge — Click ⋯ in the upper-right corner of the window, then click Developer Tools in the drop-down menu.  Safari — Enable the Develop menu item if necessary, then click Develop in the menu bar and click Show Page Source in the resulting drop-down menu. You'll need to do this at the top of the Developer window on both Chrome and Edge. Skip this step on Safari and Firefox. Click anywhere in the Developer window, then press Ctrl+F (Windows) or ⌘ Command+F (Mac) to do so. The most commonly used audio type is MP3, so type mp3 into the "Find" window and press ↵ Enter to search for it. Other commonly used audio tags include M4A, AAC, OGG, and WAV. Scroll through the highlighted results until you see an MP3 file that has a full web address, including http:// or ftp:// at the beginning and .mp3 at the end. The address may be quite long. If you don't get any results for .mp3, try a different audio tag. You can also try a video tag such as MP4. If you still don't get results, the song is most likely hidden behind an embedded player or encrypted. Double-click the URL for the audio file that you want to download, then press Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘ Command+C (Mac) to copy it. Keep...

If you want to dress like a tomboy, you’ll at least need to check out the source. Head to the boys section of your favorite stores and peruse the racks.  Look for graphic tees and distressed shirts. More likely than not, the clothes will be a bit baggy on you but that’s not a bad thing. Pick out things you like and try them on. If they are absolutely humongous, you can always try  altering them. Other great stores that have unisex options include Reebok, Hot Topic, and Tillys. Look for clothes that can be worn by both girls and guys. Loose, comfortable t-shirts are one of the most basic aspects of tomboy style. Cotton shirts in boyish colors (forest green, navy, grey, black, brown, maroon, etc.) are always great to have on hand--and go with pretty much every outfit. You should also buy some stylized tees. Shirts with band names, skater themes, and skulls (among other styles) are all considered tomboyish clothes. You can also look for shirts with sarcastic or funny images or phrases on them. While you don’t have to ditch skirts entirely, tomboys are pretty much defined by not wearing skirts or dresses. Instead, wear cool, comfortable pants that have a boyish look. Stores like Gap sell ‘Boyfriend’ pants that are cut like boys’ pants but are fitted for a girl’s body. Skinny skater pants, distressed or boot-cut jeans, and athletic pants are all good options for a girl wanting to dress like a tomboy. Black, opaque leggings are also great tomboy apparel. If you do have to wear a skirt for whatever reason, pair it with some leggings, some Converse, and a t-shirt with your favorite band’s logo. These additions will play down the girliness of the skirt. Instead of tiny Daisy Duke shorts, try rocking some loose distressed jean shorts or longer shorts that go to just above your knees. Shorts that are made of a stretchier or more athletic material (like board shorts) are great for running around. Plaid is a unisex fabric that is a great addition to most outfits. It is an awesome material because it can be worn as a shirt...

TL;DR in Russian:

Для пользы дела воспользуйтесь отделом для парней. Выбирайте футболки. Вместо юбок выбирайте брюки. Если жарко, не забывайте о шортах. Поэкспериментируйте с шотландкой. Рассмотрите толстовку с капюшоном как вариант. Носите спортивную одежду. Носите то, в чем вам удобно.


If you want to drink responsibly, then the first thing you should do is avoid drinking alone, or drinking with people you don't really know or trust all that well. If you're out on your own and have no one looking out for you, you can get in all kinds of trouble without anyone even knowing something's wrong. Whether you're heading to a party or out to the bars, always make sure to drink with a group of people you like and trust.  Don't drink with people who encourage binge drinking or look down on you for not drinking, or for not "keeping up" and drinking a lot. You should be comfortable to drink at your own pace. Don't go out with people who have a reputation for running off to hook up with someone they meet at a bar or just disappearing in the middle of the night. Make sure you go with people you can rely on. When you go out with friends, at least one of them should be a person who knows her own limit, or even who doesn't drink very much, and will be willing to watch out for you and to tell you when it looks like you've had enough. Sometimes, you could be drinking way over your limit while being too stubborn to admit it, and this friend can let you know when it's time to switch to water.  This friend can tell you when you've had enough, keep you from driving, and be prepared to take you home if you're having a rough night. Don't abuse the "buddy system" -- if you're always that girl, no one will want to go out with you. You should be able to look out for your friend while she looks out for you. Before all else, know yourself and your own limits. It doesn't take long to learn how little or how much alcohol you can tolerate and everybody is unique in its ability to tolerate alcohol. Listen to your body and respond in a way that nurtures it rather than abuses it. The first time you drink, you should drink with close friends in the comfort of your own home or their homes, so that you don't get socially overwhelmed. This will help you get a sense of what you can and can not handle.  You can set your limits very...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пейте в группе друзей. Пусть хотя бы один ваш друг знает вашу норму алкоголя. Знайте свою норму алкоголя. Представляйте, как попадете домой. Не пейте, если вам нет 18. Не пейте, чтобы утопить горе. Не пейте на пустой желудок. Проконсультируйтесь с врачом, можно ли, если вы принимаете лекарства, пить спиртное в это время. Не пейте, если вы не выспались.


If you want to drink subtly, try to conceal your alcohol in other containers. Pour beer into a soda container. Mix liquor into half a bottle of soda or juice. Pour alcohol into a paper fast food restaurant cup. Pour clear liquor into a mouthwash container. Many online retailers, such as Amazon, sell flasks specifically made to help you conceal alcohol. Prices vary depending on the type of flask you get.  Most flasks are hidden in clothing. They may strap under a tie or bra or can be secured up your sleeve.  Other flasks are disguised as bags or purses. If you want to drink at an event that forbids alcohol, these devices could come in handy. The styrofoam, plastic, or paper coffee cups given out at coffee shops are great for concealing alcohol. Save a cup the next time you get coffee out.  If the coffee cup is Styrofoam or unclear plastic, you can use it to conceal virtually any type of alcohol as the liquid will not be visible through the cup.  A clear plastic cup can still be useful. Red wine looks like coffee and you can also mix a dark liquid, like soda or pomegranate juice, with a liquor of your choice. You can also simply spike your coffee. Vodka produces less smell than many types of alcohol. It is also easier to conceal as it looks like water to a causal observer. You can easily drink vodka out of a water bottle without getting caught. If you want to add alcohol to drinks, there are many ways to creatively spike a beverage that masks the odor. Consider some of these tricks.  Spike your coffee. Coffee has a strong scent that covers the smell of most alcohol. Adding a dash of liquor to a cup of a coffee is unlikely to cause too much smell.  Choose a peppermint flavored drink, like peppermint hot cocoa or tea. Peppermint gives off a strong scent that usually overpowers alcohol.  Around the holiday season, non-alcoholic drinks made with flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and other strong, earthy scents are easy to spike without getting caught. Much like peppermint, these smells are hard to detect. Be aware of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Скройте алкоголь в другой емкости. Купите замаскированную фляжку. Используйте стаканчик для кофе, чтобы спрятать алкоголь. Остановите выбор на водке. Скройте запах, креативно смешав напитки. Пейте осторожно, чтобы не попасться.


If you want to drive your boyfriend wild, then you'll have to make an effort to look sexy. This doesn't mean that you should look sexy or dress provocatively all the time, or that you should change your looks just to turn on your man. It does mean that you should try to up the ante a bit with your clothes and make up, and dress and look in a way that makes your boyfriend notice you -- and want to get you alone.   You don't have to wear a ton of makeup. Try creating smoky eyes with dark eyeshadow and mascara, and wear just a bit of lip gloss or lip balm to draw attention to your lips. You can look provocative without looking trashy. Wear flattering clothes that fit you well and show off your best assets. If you want to be really sexy, dress really provocatively from time to time -- or when you know you and your man will be alone. This will be a fun change and will drive your man wild. Get some sexy undergarments. The right thong, lacy bra, or pair of panties can make your man even more turned on. If you want to drive your boyfriend crazy, then you can't just give him what he wants all the time. Instead, you should kiss him for a minute or two, and then pull back, leaving him wanting more. If you're out, touch him provocatively by putting your hand on his thigh or caressing his neck before moving away. If you're alone in the bedroom, drive him wild with your kisses and caresses before removing your clothes.  You can also tease him by saying the right things. Tell him that you know he wants you, but that you're not sure if you're in the mood -- this will drive him wild. Compliment his body and let him know how sexy he is. Then, look down at the floor or distance yourself from him. You can also tease him by caressing your own body. You can say, "This shirt is so tight," or "I can't believe how big my chest looks in this bra," to make him want your body. If you're wearing a thong, lean down so he gets a peek at it. If you're wearing a lacy bra, lean toward him a bit so he gets a look at your cleavage in the bra....

TL;DR in Russian:

Выглядите сексуально. Дразните его. Будьте сексуальной на публике. Целуйте шею своего партнера Сделайте ему эротический массаж Поиграйте с едой.


If you want to earn a girl's trust back, the very first thing you should do is to apologize sincerely about lying and hurting her. Whether you cheated on her, lied about spending a weekend with your friends in Vegas instead of at your grandmother's, or lied about a significant personal detail, it's inevitable that she's feeling hurt, confused, and like she doesn't know you anymore. Let her know that you understand how difficult you have made things for her, and that you deeply regret what you've done. Take FULL responsibility, show her you know you were wrong. She's not going to go for a half-hearted apology. It needs to be sincere and real.   Don't just say "I'm sorry" because you think it's the right thing to do -- say it because you mean it. If you're not sincere, she'll be able to tell. When you tell her you're sorry, look into her eyes, speak slowly, and face your body toward her so she knows she has all of your attention. You don't have to say that you're sorry a hundred times -- it's about quality, not quantity. Let her know that you understand all of the pain and suffering that you've caused her. If she doesn't think you understand her pain, she won't want to listen to you. Though you shouldn't make this all about you, let her know that you're feeling real pain because of your mistake. You don't have to go in too much graphic detail if you think it'll only hurt her more, but you should be honest about why you told the lie. Maybe you wanted to protect her, maybe you knew that the truth would hurt her, or maybe you were even embarrassed about the truth and wanted to cover it up. Whatever your reason, let her know why you did it -- this will show that you're already maturing and trying to reflect, and that you're not just going to move on without gaining some perspective.  Being honest about why you lied will make her feel like you're more likely to be honest in the future. Letting her know your motives will help her understand your perspective. Know when it's better not to be honest. If you just wanted...

TL;DR in Russian:

Принесите извинения. Будьте искренни, говоря о своем поступке. Пообещайте, что этого больше не повторится — и будьте искренни. Пообещайте, что изменитесь.


If you want to eat the chickpeas fresh, you can pluck off the pods while they are still green and immature. Eat fresh chickpeas like snap beans. The pods only reach a length between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 and 5 cm), and each pod only contains one or three beans. The more popular way to harvest chickpeas is to harvest them once they've matured, as dried chickpeas. To do so, you will need to harvest the entire plant once the leaves wither and turn brown. Place the plant on a flat, warm surface and let the pods air dry naturally in a warm, well-ventilated location. Collect the seeds as the pods split open.  Mature seeds will be very hard. When bitten into, they should barely dent. If the weather is getting damp, bring the harvested plant or pods indoors to finish drying them. Otherwise, mold could develop on the pods and ruin the chickpeas inside. Also note that mice and other rodents may threaten your yield if you allow the plants to dry outdoors. Fresh, unshelled chickpeas can be kept in the refrigerator for one week. Dried, shelled chickpeas should be kept in a cool, dry location and can remain there for up to one year.  Keep dried chickpeas in an airtight container if you intend to store them for more than a few days. Chickpeas can also be frozen, canned, or sprouted.

TL;DR in Russian:

Соберите свежий урожай. Высушите урожай. Храните нут правильно.


If you want to eat your beans fresh, you should pick your beans when the pods are large and full. The pods should not yet show the shape of the beans, because by that stage they have begun to dry out. Harvest the pods by snapping them off at the top; don’t tear them, as this can damage the plant and prevent new pods from sprouting. If you harvest at the right time, your bean plants could continue to produce new pods for several weeks. If you want to dry your shell beans for later use, the process is easy: leave your beans on the plant until they are completely dry. This process usually takes 1-2 months after having reached peak ripeness. You can tell when the beans are totally dry and ready for storage, as they will rattle inside the pods. Fresh beans can be frozen and used later, if you don’t want them fresh but don’t want to dry them. Simply place them in an airtight container and put them in your freezer. They will remain good for 6-9 months after initially being placed in the freezer; thaw them by letting them rise to room temperature.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сорвите бобовые стручки, пока стручки не раскроются. Высушите бобы на растении. Заморозьте бобы для последующего использования.


If you want to embody the classical zombie type, go traditional. Be a walking, shuffling zombie who is slow and dumb with dead eyes. No specific type of clothing is needed for this type. Use whatever’s on hand, such as old jeans and t-shirts. Maybe you want to go for a zombie with a special theme, such as zombie princess or ballerina who’s been zombified? Go for a cute identity that’s gone terribly, terribly wrong.  If you want to be extra realistic, use stage blood.  This might be where last year’s costume comes in handy--you could zombify it so long as you don’t mind destroying it in the process. You can also just be an interesting zombie, making a twist on other clothing. Zombies may have been a cheerleader, a pizza delivery guy, or had been on the way to prom. It can be fun to have a couple, family or group of friends dress as zombies. Some costume competitions have this as a category.  Be a zombie pair, such as a zombie bride and groom or maybe a famous couple from history who’ve come back from the dead. Be a zombie family! Mom, dad, sister and brother can all have fun as undead.  Hit up a used clothing store to look for wedding apparel. Have a favorite superhero? Nursery rhyme character? Disney character? Choose a character and turn them into a zombie!  Make sure you’ve got a costume on hand that’ll identify you as your character. You could always do something recognizable, such as simple, reworked Little Red Riding Hood costume. This is a great tactic if your costume is worn, or in bad condition. Since you will likely be fatiguing or distressing your costume (see below) it is better to work with items in less than new condition.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нарядитесь "традиционным" зомби. Сделайте костюм особенного зомби. Создайте костюмы для пары или целой группы зомби. Переделайте в зомби какой-нибудь знаменитый персонаж.


If you want to enrich your life, then you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone. You should take risks that challenge you and demand you to step up your game instead of doing the same old thing day after day. This can mean anything from asking the cute girl in your class out on a date to applying for your dream job even if you’re not sure you can handle it. Just making an effort to try new things and do things that make you feel less than safe can help you live a more enriching life.  Fail. If you never take risks because you do not want to deal with the disappointment, then you will also never be able to enrich your life. Sure, it is safe to stay at your perfectly fine job, but if you do not take a risk and apply for your dream position, then your life will also be just perfectly fine. (Of course, this does not mean make reckless or irresponsible choices) Conquer your fears. Whether you are afraid of water, heights, or new people, making an effort to see that there’s nothing to be so scared about can make you feel more confident and capable. You never know who can have a positive impact on your life and make you feel more capable and courageous. If you never make an effort to get to know new people and to learn from them, then you won’t be able to grow as a person. Step out of your comfort zone and take steps to meet new people, whether they are new in your school or office or if you just notice someone reading your favorite book in a coffee shop. You’ll never know how much value a new connection can have for you and your life.  Of course, not every new person will be compatible with you and talking to new people can lead to some awkward conversations; however, the more you get into the habit of introducing yourself to new people, the more likely you are to meet people who are exciting and interesting. Making an effort to meet new people will also make you a person who knows that he always has more to learn from life, instead of sticking with the same five people he already knows in his comfort...

TL;DR in Russian:

Рискуйте. Заводите новые знакомства. Относитесь с уважением к другим культурам. Найдите новое увлечение. Ставьте перед собой сложные задачи. Больше читайте. Ищите новые знания. Не тратьте слишком много времени на наблюдение за жизнью других людей в социальных сетях.


If you want to establish a friendship, you need to ask questions. Showing interest in what she's passionate about will quickly bond the two of you. Believe in the power of random questions in getting to know her.  Ask how she would describe herself. It's a quick way to learn about her personality. It may be a bit of a shortcut, but she'll get to describe herself honestly. Figure out what she's proud of. Positive questions will get her to talk about her accomplishments, traits, and skills. Ask questions revolving around "favorites," such as movies, TV shows, or musicians. You may have common interests, and this will create an immediate bond. Ask her opinions about things your passionate about. If she knows you're into something and you want to know what she thinks about it, she'll know you value her opinion. While you may find this girl attractive, you're trying to become friends, not hit on her. Avoid complimenting her looks, as this can make the situation uncomfortable, especially if she has a boyfriend. Instead, tell her something specific about her personality that you appreciate.  Women want to be appreciated for what they do or who they are, not what they look like. If you've heard her speak publicly and enjoyed it, tell her so. Speak in specifics about something positive that you've observed about her character. Above all, a compliment should be sincere. Don't pull something from a movie or a website. Observe something that you admire about her and share this admiration. Women like compliments, but you need to respect their personal space. Don't overdo it with the praise, as it may seem desperate or put on. There are many different ways to express love to another person. When starting a friendship, you'll want to express love in a friendly way. Doing an act of service works well in bonding an individual to you.  These acts of service can range from cooking her a meal to picking her up from an appointment. People often need help, so extending favors to her shouldn't be too difficult. Remember that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте о ее интересах. Похвалите ее характер. Помогайте ей. Смешите ее. Придумайте шутки, понятные лишь вам двоим.


If you want to ever really forgive the person who wronged you, then you have to kick all of those bitter and resentful feelings to the curb. Let go of the part of you that hates the other person or wishes him or her harm or failure; if you hang on to these negative feelings, then they will plague your own life and make it hard for you to find happiness, so the sooner you see that letting go of your resentment is the right thing to do, the better.  Sure, the person really hurt you, but if you waste energy in resenting the person, then you’ll only be letting that person cause you even more harm. Take the higher ground and let go of those nasty feelings. It’s better if you admit that you’re feeling resentment first instead of being in denial about it. Talk about your feelings to a friend. Write them down. Do what you have to do to get them out there so you can get rid of them faster. In the moment, you may feel that the person absolutely ruined your life or made you feel absolutely miserable. Okay, so maybe one of your friends forgot to invite you to her party; maybe your significant other said something hurtful to you in the heat of the moment. Could they have done something a lot worse? Will whatever they did really cause you pain in another few weeks – or in another few months? Chances are that sure, you’ve been hurt, but that it’s not the end of the world.  It may feel like the end of the world, just then. But if you give yourself time to cool off, you’ll see that it’s not so. Take a step back and look at your life. Filled with mostly good things, right? Was the thing the person did to you really bad enough to put all of that in jeopardy? Think of yourself as a student instead of a victim. It’s convenient, and even safe, to think of yourself as a victim when someone has wronged you, but instead, try to put a positive spin on the situation and see if there’s something that you can really learn from the experience. Maybe you’ll learn not to be so trusting. Maybe you’ll learn not to get into a situation where...

TL;DR in Russian:

Отпустите обиды. Рассмотрите схему вещей. Посмотрите, какой урок можно извлечь из произошедшего. Поставьте себя на его место. Вспомните, сколько хороших вещей человек сделал для вас. Посмотрите, может быть, вы когда-нибудь обидели человека. Знайте, что прощение фактически снимает стресс.


If you want to evolve a Pikachu, you will need to catch more Pikachus. You will go back to your list of Pokémon.  Look for Pokémon, which will pop up on your screen. They will look like small, dinosaur-ish animals that will appear on your screen relatively near to you. You may need to walk closer to the Pokémon before you can click on it. Your phone will open a screen that looks like a camera to the outside world with the Pokémon inserted into the camera frame. Using your thumb or forefinger, “throw” the ball toward the wild Pokémon you want to catch. Press the ball, move your finger toward the Pokémon, and release. Sometimes the wild Pokémon move or your aim is not quite right. Try throwing the ball farther if you miss the first time. If you catch a wild Spearow, for example, you earn Spearow Candy. You will typically get 5-10 Candies the first time you catch a new species, and 3-5 Candies for every duplicate catch. There is no way to control which wild Pokémon will come to you, so you may need to wait a while until you’ve captured enough of a particular Pokémon to evolve that Pokémon.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ловите покемонов, которых желаете эволюционировать. Нажмите на крестик внизу экрана, если вам нужно поймать больше Пикачу. Снова нажмите на крестик, чтобы вернуться к карте мира, на которой отображен ваш аватар. Прогуляйтесь по своему району в реальном мире. Нажмите на покемона, когда увидите его на экране. Поймайте покемона, используя покебол в нижней части экрана. Если промахнетесь, бросьте покебол еще раз. Получите конфеты и звездную пыль за пойманного покемона. Проявите терпение.
