If your last light bulb was jammed into the socket, it may have pushed a small brass tab too far down to make proper contact with the light bulb. This tab should be raised at a 20º angle above the base of the fixture. If it is not, turn off the power and use needle nosed-pliers to pull this tab gently to the correct position. When inserting a light bulb, you should line up the threads on the socket, then turn slowly clockwise. As soon as you feel a slight resistance, stop. If you turn the light on and it flickers, turn it off again and turn only another quarter-turn clockwise.  Warning: Always make sure the lamp is unplugged or the switch is in the off position before changing a light bulb. Only do this when you are absolutely sure the power to the fixture has been turned off. Remove the light bulb from the socket if there is one present. Wearing gloves made from rubber or other non-conductive material, take a clean, dry rag or towel and rub it along the inside threads of the metal socket. You may also wipe the outside threads of the bulb base before insertion.  The cloth wipes off rust or other corrosion that has built up on the socket, reducing the chance of both burned out bulbs and a bulb jamming in the socket. Use a Scotchbrite pad or bronze wire brush if the corrosion won't come off onto a cloth. If there is too much corrosion to wipe off with a cloth, you may need to wipe them with a specialized lubricant. Only use an electrical contact cleaner or contact spray for this purpose.  There are several commercially available products called "bulb and socket lube" that can be applied to the socket or the base of a new bulb prior to installation. The product appears similar to Vaseline and greatly reduces the incidence of "sticking". Using any other substance as a lubricant carries the risk of burning out your bulb, blocking the electrical current, or jamming it in the socket. If your light bulbs only last a few weeks or months, they may be receiving too much power. Too much vibration or heat can also wear...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если ваша предыдущая лампа застревала то она могла придавить латунный контакт ко дну патрона, что ухудшит контакт в последующем. Вкручивайте лампочки аккуратно. Протирайте внутреннюю часть патрона лампочки сухой тканью. Используйте спрей для чистки контактов чтобы удалить более сильную коррозию. Если лампочки перегорают часто, то используйте лампочки рассчитанные на более высокое напряжение.


If your leather is not responding to conventional methods, vinegar and olive oil can be used instead. Mix one part vinegar and one part extra virgin olive oil. Then, dab onto the leather with a soft cleaning cloth, using circular motions to apply. Let sit for 10 minutes before buffing the chair with a dry cloth until it shines. Baby wipes can be used to remove any gunk or built up residue stuck on a leather couch. If you're hesitant to use baby wipes on furniture, they make wipes specifically designed for removing gunk from leather as well. You can buy these wipes online or at a local furniture store. If you have young children, you may end up with marker stains on your leather chair. These can be removed with hairspray.  Use aerosol hairspray. Spray it over the stained areas. Then, rub it off gently and see if the stain comes out.  Eucalyptus oil can also be used to remove marker stains if hairspray does not work.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте использовать уксус и оливковое масло. Используйте детские гигиенические салфетки. Попробуйте использовать лак для волос.


If your left arm pain has a very short duration (seconds) it is very unlikely to be caused by the heart. Along the same lines, if the pain has persisted for a long time (for days or even weeks), it is also unlikely to be heart-related. If it lasts in the realm of a few minutes to a few hours, however, it may be a heart attack. If your pain is recurring in short intervals, take note of all the durations and intensities of the pain on a piece of paper to bring to your doctor. This could also be heart-related and warrants prompt medical attention.  When the pain is released or accentuated by movement of the thorax (mid-spine region), it is probably due to a spinal degenerative disc disease, especially in older patients. This type of pain is unlikely to be caused by the heart. Similarly, when the pain appears after a vigorous exercise with your arms, it is probably muscular in origin. Look at your daily patterns. What seems to aggravate it? Angina is a pain that occurs when there is insufficient blood flow to the heart. Angina is often a squeezing or pressure sensation; you may feel pain in your shoulders, your chest, your arms, your back, or your neck. It may also resemble the feeling of indigestion.  Although it is atypical for angina to appear only in the left arm, it is possible. Angina is usually worsened or provoked with stress - either physical stress (such as exertion, like after climbing a flight of stairs), or emotional stress (such as after a heated conversation or a disagreement at work).  If you suspect you may have angina, it is important to see a healthcare provider sooner rather than later. It is not life-threatening like a heart attack, but it nevertheless requires appropriate evaluation and treatment. In addition to the pain in your left arm, take note of any other areas that you are experiencing pain. This is one of the most accurate ways to tell whether your left arm pain is heart-related or not (and if it's serious). A heart attack is likely to be accompanied by:  Sudden and excruciating...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание на длительность боли. Подумайте, не связана ли боль в руке со стенокардией. Обратите внимание на другие симптомы.


If your lips have stuck together with super glue, it's no laughing matter. Push the saliva against your lips from the inside. The saliva should help moisten and soften the glue from the inside of your mouth while the warm water works from the outside. Wait until all sides are thoroughly moistened before attempting this, and do not pull! Doing so could cause more damage to your lips. Work your lips from side to side while keeping them submerged in the warm water. Ideally, they should gradually peel apart from one another. Your saliva will eventually remove any remaining stuck adhesive but do not swallow it. Instead, discard any detached adhesive.  Don't worry about swallowing liquid adhesive since the glue should solidify once it comes into contact with your saliva. The remaining adhesive should lift away within one or two days.

TL;DR in Russian:

Действовать нужно быстро. Попробуйте собрать как можно больше слюны во рту. Аккуратно удалите клей. Ешьте и пейте как обычно.


If your listening skills feel lacking, don't beat yourself up. It seems like the easiest skill, but it can be very, very taxing. The way you're taught English in school is practically the opposite of how native speakers actually speak. No wonder it's such a chore! So the next time someone says, "Do you want to pass me that bag?" and you hear, "Djuwanapassmethabag?" you're not going crazy. Between that and all the "like," "uh," and "umm," you run into it could drive a person crazy. So when you get in the listening zone, remind yourself: it's slang time. Really. Passive listening is okay, but interacting is even better. If you want to get good at listening, you have to ask questions. And this way you have control of the conversation! If you ask someone what their favorite thing to do in summer is you know they're not going to go off on a confusing tangent on politics. At least, hopefully! And the more you hear a specific individual talk, the easier it is to understand them. English has so many accents you may find yourself not understanding someone and wondering why. Be patient! Your mind will get used to their accent in time. English-speaking people have to adjust for each other all the time. So while talking and listening proactively is best, passive learning is good, too. So throw on the telly and sit down for a spell. Try to keep the captions off! And if you can record it and watch it more than once, even better. That way you can see your progress. Even having the radio on in the background is helpful, just to keep your mind in the English zone. But the best case scenario is getting a movie and watching it over and over until your mind stops having to worry about understanding and instead can concentrate on the little things, like intonation and slang. And watching TV shows where you have the same characters over and over so you get used to their speech. In other words: repetition. If you have a friend who speaks English that is trying to learn a language you speak, start an English exchange! Half the time...

TL;DR in Russian:

Уясните причины возникновения трудностей в процессе аудирования английской речи. Старайтесь высказывать свои мысли. Смотрите фильмы, телевидение, передачи в Интернете и все в том же духе. Предложите взаимопомощь. Слушайте английскую музыку.


If your loved one in question is still alive, make sure to spend quality time with them in their final days.  Talk to your loved one about shared memories, as well as what you appreciate about them. Make sure you emphasize how you feel about your loved one. Tell them you love them. These end-of-life conversations can be very difficult, but you want to make sure you get what you want to convey across so that you don't have regrets. You can try writing down what you what to convey to your loved one before you tell them. Families who stick together in continuity and support during times of loss are better at enduring difficult emotions associated with loss.  If you feel the need to talk to a family member or friend, consider asking them. Chances are, you aren't the only person who needs comforting.  Surround yourself with family members and create unity through talking about shared memories or engaging in activities together. Not only do family interactions assist in lessening the fear of losing a loved one, but relationships outside the family are also useful in increasing ones ability to positively cope with the anticipation of loss. It is helpful to discuss your feelings and thoughts with others in order to reduce fear and anxiety. If you are religious or spiritual, try talking to your service leaders to comfort you and help find some appropriate prayers. Not only do we need social support when we are worried about someone dying, but giving social support to others is a great way to feel better.  Talk to Your Children About Death. If you have children, make sure to spend some special time talking about the subject of passing on. Most public libraries will have children's books to help you and your children with the subject in a graceful manner. One of the biggest fears people have when considering the death of a loved one is the ending of that relationship. However, a relationship with someone lives on past death, in your memories, your prayers, your feelings and thoughts about the person. Focus on the fact...

TL;DR in Russian:

Наслаждайтесь временем, проведенным с близким человеком. Общайтесь с членами семьи. Откройтесь доверенным людям. Предложите поддержку окружающим. Поддерживайте отношения живыми.


If your loved one or close friend is sick in the hospital or confined to their home, the most important way to encourage them is by being present. You can help to take their mind off of their illness and to maintain a semblance of normalcy during this hard time.  Think about what you might do on your visit. If your friend likes to play card or board games, you might bring something along. If you have children, you might want to leave them at home, but you could ask them to draw a picture for your friend to help cheer her up. Be sure to call first and make sure it’s a good time, or schedule your visit in advance.  Sometimes illnesses require extra care in planning for visits to schedule them around appointments, timing for medications, naps and early bedtime, and other contingencies. Someone with chronic or terminal illness lives with daily reminders that she is sick. What she needs is reminders that she is still the same person that you love and care about. Treat her the same as you would if she was not sick.  Maintain regular contact. A chronic illness can be a true test of a friendship, and for your friendship to withstand the emotional and logistical challenges of the illness you must make a point to prioritize staying in touch. Someone who is undergoing treatment or confined to a hospital or their bed is often "out of sight, out of mind," so be sure that you put a note on your calendar to remember to reach out on a regular basis. Help her do the things that she normally enjoys. If your friend is living with chronic or terminal illness, its important that she still finds pleasure and joy in life. You can help by offering to take her out for their favorite activities.  Don't be afraid to joke around or make plans for the future! This is still the same person that you know and love. If your friend has a family or even pets, this illness is probably even more stressful because  not only does she have to worry about her own recovery or prognosis, but she has to worry about those who are depending on her. There...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проведывайте больного. Общайтесь с больным как со своим другом. Поддерживайте больного и его семью. Пошлите больному цветы или корзину фруктов. Будьте самим собой Сделайте так, чтобы больной чувствовал, что он нужен другим.


If your lover is mad at you because of something you did or didn't do, learn to accept fault and apologize. By swallowing your pride, you are showing that her feelings come before your ego. A wise man once said that trust is a must for relationship. When two people are in love, there needs to be total transparency. By always remaining honest with her, it will allow a deeper level of trust to develop, which allows more room for love to grow. Much of our communication happens through our body language. Be sure to physically show your affection to your partner whenever you two spend time together.  Try holding hands, giving hugs, cuddling on the coach, and giving kisses. Give a kiss to her forehead or cheek. It is a small gesture that will go a long way. Look into her eyes during a conversation to show you are listening closely. If she gets a haircut, or buys a new outfit, be sure to take notice and give her a compliment. By noticing the small things, she will feel appreciated and realize how much you care. If you feel angry or frustrated with her, calmly communicate your feelings to your lover as to protect her feelings. Anger does not translate as love, but rather as disrespect. It could lead her into thinking you are annoyed and have hostile feelings towards her. Whether you are teaching her something new, or frustrated once again because a certain chore wasn't done, be patient, and refrain from yelling.

TL;DR in Russian:

Признавайте свои неверные поступки. Будьте всегда честны. Научитесь выражать любовь с помощью языка тела. Обращайте внимание на мелочи. Будьте терпеливы.


If your machine is malfunctioning mid-cycle or you forgot to add a dish, you’ll need to reset the cycle. For front-control washers, press the Start/Reset button. If you have a top-control washer, carefully open up the top of the dishwasher door and press Start/Reset, then close the door. Dishes can be added at any point up until the main wash. Make sure to wait before opening the machine and adding dishes. During this time, you may see a blinking light, which means that the machine is resetting. Make sure the light has stopped blinking before starting up the machine again. Be careful of any hot steam or water. Place any extra dishes in the dishwasher and start a new cycle by pressing the Start button again and push the door closed until it latches.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нажмите на кнопку «Запуск/Сброс», чтобы отменить цикл мойки. Подождите две минуты, пока вода не вытечет. Осторожно откройте дверцу и загрузите еще посуду.


If your manicure is beginning to peel and crack, it can be tempting to pull it off. However, this will cause more damage to your nails. If you want to remove your manicure, either make a new appointment or carefully remove the manicure, yourself. Gel polish can be fun, but when used too much it can seriously affect nail health. Take a break on the gel polish once in awhile so your nails can adequately heal. Think about getting a keratin manicure between gel manicures. Push back your cuticles after a gel manicure instead of cutting them. Your cuticles protect new nails that are growing, so they're vital for recovery after a gel manicure. You should also treat your cuticles to cuticle creams and gels during the recovery process. Proper removal will help keep your nails strong. Before you remove your polish, buff your nails with a nail file to remove the shine on top so you just barely see the natural nail beneath them. Then, soak a cotton ball in acetone-based polish remove and secure to your nail using an adhesive like tape. Leave the ball in place for 15 minutes. Do this for each finger. If there's any remaining nail polish, push it off using a cuticle pusher.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не сдирайте лак. Время от времени отдыхайте от гель-лака. Не обрезайте кутикулу. Безопасно снимайте маникюр.


If your matrix is 2 x 2, you can use a shortcut to make this calculation much easier. The first step in this shortcut involves switching the top left element with the bottom right element. For example:   (7423){\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}7&4\\2&3\end{pmatrix}}} → (3427){\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}3&4\\2&7\end{pmatrix}}}   Note: Most people use calculators to find the inverse of a 3 x 3 matrix or larger. If you'd like to calculate it by hand, refer to the end of this section. In other words, multiply the top right and bottom left elements by -1:  (3427){\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}3&4\\2&7\end{pmatrix}}} → (3−4−27){\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}3&-4\\-2&7\end{pmatrix}}} You found the determinant of this matrix in the section above, so there's no need to calculate it a second time. Just write down the reciprocal 1 / (determinant): In our example, the determinant is 13. The reciprocal of this is 113{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{13}}}. Multiply each element of the new matrix by the reciprocal you just found. The resulting matrix is the inverse of the 2 x 2 matrix:  113∗(3−4−27){\displaystyle {\frac {1}{13}}*{\begin{pmatrix}3&-4\\-2&7\end{pmatrix}}}=(313−413−213713){\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}{\frac {3}{13}}&{\frac {-4}{13}}\\{\frac {-2}{13}}&{\frac {7}{13}}\end{pmatrix}}} To check your work, multiply the inverse by the original matrix. If the inverse is correct, their product will always be the identity matrix, (1001){\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{pmatrix}}} If the math checks out, continue on to the next section to complete your problem.  For the example problem, multiply (313−413−213713)∗(7423)=(1001){\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}{\frac {3}{13}}&{\frac {-4}{13}}\\{\frac {-2}{13}}&{\frac {7}{13}}\end{pmatrix}}*{\begin{pmatrix}7&4\\2&3\end{pmatrix}}={\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{pmatrix}}}.  Here's a refresher on how to multiply matrices. Note: Matrix multiplication is not commutative: the order of the factors matters. However, when multiplying a matrix by its inverse, both options will result...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поменяйте местами элементы главной диагонали матрицы 2 х 2. Оставшиеся два элемента местами не меняйте, но измените их знак. Найдите число, обратное значению определителя. Полученную матрицу умножьте на обратное значение определителя. Проверьте правильность вычислений. Найдите обратную матрицу для матрицы 3 х 3


If your messaging sounds good but you don’t deliver on your promises, your customers will go elsewhere, and your brand won’t catch on. But if your business delivers what your branding promises, you’ll gain your customers’ trust. Before long, they’ll start spreading the word about your quality of service, and your brand’s reputation will soon speak for itself.  Make sure that your customers’ association with your brand lines up with what you’re actually offering, too. For example, if you promise that your margarita flavored lemonade is the most refreshing drink on the market, but your customers routinely complain that they took a sip and were surprised it didn’t contain tequila, there’s something off about the way you’re pitching the product. You might want to rename the drink so that customers don’t feel let down when they try your product. Being transparent about your business practices is essential, too. Trust is a really important part of brand recognition, because of your customer's need to feel like they know your brand like an old friend. Let your customers see how you work, where your money goes, and what your real priorities are. Even if the information isn't always the best, it should at least be true and painted in the best possible light. What's the age group and demographic of your main customer base? You might be surprised at the answer, so it’s important to conduct some research to find out who’s interested in the product you’re offering, and how they’re responding to your branding.  Consider  running a focus group so you can test out how your product is received by people from different demographics. Ask them to describe their perception of your product before and after trying it. Targeting a specific demographic is often more effective than trying to be universally appealing. You might find that you’ll decide to narrow your focus after learning who’s buying your product. For example, if you find that teenage boys are the most likely group to buy your snack mix, you may want to change your...

If your mind is a tangled mess of thoughts, it can help to write them down. Start off writing in free-form: record how you're feeling, why you're feeling, and what you want to do about it. After recording this information, you'll have something concrete to reflect upon; this will help you feel a sense of accomplishment, even if you haven't "done" anything. This really interesting trick will help you literally throw away your thoughts. Write all your troubles down on a piece of paper, discussing why they're bothering you. Then crumble it up and throw it away. Yes, throw it away! Researchers found that people who threw away their written concerns were less likely to be worried by them. So you may not be a Van Gogh, but you don't have to be to create art. All you need is a medium and a piece of paper. Have fun decorating with rainbow crayons; experiment with oil painting; get just the right shading with charcoal. Releasing your anxieties and clearing your mind through drawing can be an incredibly powerful force. Maybe you're the kind of person who keeps their thoughts and emotions bubbled up inside. That's not a bad a thing, necessarily, but it means that small concerns can quickly snowball into seemingly big ones overnight. In order to free your mind of worries you may be having — worries about love, stress about health, doubts about your job — learn to talk to someone.  Reach out to friends and family first. Your friends and family love you and understand you. They don't need rationalizations, and they won't sugarcoat advice. Tell them about what you're going through and listen for advice. If your friends and family aren't the kind to lean a helping hand, consider talking to a therapist. A therapist is trained to listen to your particular concerns and find solutions based on calculated research and troves of experience. Don't feel like you're inferior for seeking the advice of a therapist. Have a deep conversation with someone. Easier said than done — but totally worthwhile. Researchers have found that having...

If your mom doesn’t agree with you or tells you no, try not to argue, yell or whine. Instead, remain calm and keep your tone of voice friendly and understanding. Then ask your mom why now is not the right time. For example, “When do you think the right time is?” or “When did you get your first bra?” Do this if you are uncomfortable not wearing a bra, but your mom still says no. Suggest getting a training bra, sports bra or a camisole with a built-in bra to wear in the meantime. After wearing these for a few months, bring up the topic again. For example, “I have been wearing my training bra for six months. I think I am ready to wear a bra now. Do this if your mom simply will not listen or does not understand that a bra will help you feel more comfortable about your body. Talk about the issue with a trusted relative, counselor or teacher. They may be able to offer you some advice on how to approach the topic with your mom. You could also ask them to discuss the topic with your mom for you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте спокойствие. Предложите альтернативный вариант. Поговорите с другим взрослым, которому доверяете.


If your mom seems upset about something, and you are not sure what it is, then the best way to figure out what is going on and to help her feel better is to ask her what’s wrong. Try talking to your mom when she is on her own and you have time to sit and talk.  For example, you could try talking to your mom after dinner or over the weekend. You don’t need to say anything fancy, just say something like, “I have noticed that you seem a little sad. What’s wrong?” Your mom might have something really specific that she is worried about, which can give you an opportunity to offer your help. For example, if your mom tells you that she is stressed about getting the house cleaned up before your grandparents come to visit, then you could offer to help her clean up. Keep in mind that it is also possible that your mom is just feeling a little blue. This happens to lots of people and it is normal. However, if your mom continues to feel sad, then she might need to talk to her doctor about it. Hugs are great for cheering people up. The help to reduce stress and cause our bodies to release a hormone called oxytocin, which helps us to feel closer and more connected with other people. Try giving your mom a big hug to let her know that you care about her. Your mom might also feel better if you say something nice to comfort her. Some nice things that you can say to comfort your mom include:  “I love you.” “You are important to me.” “I care about you.” “You’re not alone.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Спросите, что случилось. Предложите свою помощь. Обнимите маму. Скажите несколько слов поддержки.


If your mom tends to shut you down when you try to talk to her about your feelings, then you might consider writing her your feelings in a letter. As you would when talking to her, you should try to be firm, but also respectful. Explain what happened that made you feel angry, and use the “I feel…” language instead of making accusations.  Be sure to include everything you would have included if you talked with her. Ask her why she did or said what she said. Remind her that you love her, and that you want to work through the problem together with her. In the letter, if you are open to talking with her, tell her that. Explain that you want to have a conversation where your feelings are also respected. You could also suggest that if she does not want to talk with you about it that she can write back to you, and you can talk about it that way. Writing a letter has the advantage that you can get everything out on paper exactly the way you want to say it. It also gives your mom a bit of time to process what you have said, so hopefully she won’t feel the need to react defensively. Another option for communicating your anger without a face-to-face conversation is to record a video message using your phone or computer. This has the added advantage that you may be able to express the emotions you are feeling more clearly than in a letter.  Again, do exactly as you would in a face-to-face conversation. Be firm and respectful, and use “I feel…” language. Avoid making a video where you raise your voice angrily. It is alright to record a video like this in order to get all your feelings out, but don’t send that version to your mom. It will be more effective if you are able to speak calmly and respectfully. If you have another parent, or maybe an older sibling, try talking to them if you have already tried talking to your mom without success. They may be able to give you ideas about how to deal with your mom more effectively, or they may be willing to talk to your mom for you.  In this conversation, it is important to keep...

If your monitor has a scratch, you may be able to get it replaced.  Check the warranty that came with your monitor to find out what your options are. Once you start trying to repair the scratch yourself, further damage may no longer be covered by your warranty. Computer stores and computer sections of department stores sell scratch repair kits for LCD monitors.  Check online reviews to find out the best formulation for your particular scratch. Follow the instructions for applying the scratch solution to your screen. Use a cotton swab to apply a thin layer of jelly over the scratch.  If the scratch is small, a bit of petroleum jelly is a safe option. It won't repair the scratch, but it will make it look more discreet. Make sure it is not the gel-type, as this will not work.  Work the toothpaste over the scratch with a microfiber or other soft cloth. Let it dry, then wipe off with a clean, barely damp cloth. Rubbing compound can be found online or at auto supply stores.   Be very careful when using this. Limit it to the damaged area only, and consider doing a spot test on the corner of your screen. Rub a very small amount on your screen with a q-tip, and work back and forth until the scratch is minimized. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off carefully. Clean the screen very well afterwards with a clean cloth and screen cleaning fluid or dilute vinegar. Consider this option for very old monitors, or where the scratch might get bigger if not addressed. This will cause a bit of haziness on the screen where the lacquer was applied.  Cut a hole in a piece of paper. The hole should be slightly larger than the scratch. Use this to mask off the screen. and make sure everything is covered (keyboard, buttons, etc.) except the scratch. Spray a thin coat of lacquer onto the paper, over the hole, to “stencil” the lacquer onto the scratch. Remove the paper carefully afterwards, to avoid smearing. Alternately, clear nail polish applied to the scratch may also prevent it from becoming larger. Use a small brush or...

If your mouth breathing isn’t a structural or mouth issue, then it’s a habit. Breaking the habit is a matter of correcting the behavior when you notice you’re doing it. Breath through your nose instead of your mouth whenever you notice that you’re doing it. If you’re having issues breathing through your nose because it’s a habit, you can leave written reminders for yourself. Write “breathing” on sticky notes and place them on your computer or inside of books to remind yourself to use your nose to breathe. If your nose is stuffed from allergies or a cold, over-the-counter nasal sprays may be able to clear your nostrils and help your breath through your nose. Purchase the spray from a drugstore and read the directions before using it. Clear your nose first by blowing it, then carefully place the end of the nozzle into your nostril and press down on the applicator to spray the solution into your nose. Sheets and carpets can harbor pet dander and dust and can make allergies worse. Cleaning them once a week will prevent dust buildup and can make it easier to breathe through your nose.  If you sleep with your pet, you should try to sleep without them to see if that clears up your nose. Upholstered furniture is more likely to trap dirt and dust. Use leather, wooden, or vinyl furniture instead. Breathe through your nose for 2-3 minutes straight, then close your mouth, inhale deeply, and pinch your nose with your fingers. When you can't hold your breath any longer, slowly start to exhale through your nose. Continue to do this several times until you clear your nose. Many exercises like running, biking, and yoga require good breathing technique. If you get trained by a professional, they will give you the techniques you need to breathe properly through your nose. Look for classes locally and talk to your trainer about your mouth breathing problem.

TL;DR in Russian:

If your muscles are sore from intense activities such as weightlifting, your muscles are rebuilding themselves, needing water and lots of protein. For optimal muscle growth, consume 1 gram (0.035 oz) of protein per day for every pound of lean body mass that you have, or, consume 0.22% of your lean body mass in protein.  For example, a man who weighs 150 pounds (68 kg) with 20% body fat, has 120 pounds (54 kg) of lean mass, and should consume 120 grams (4.2 oz) of protein per day. This will speed up recovery times considerably, as well as prevent muscle loss from poor nutrition. Eat Protein 15 to 45 minutes after workout for best results. Drink lots of water while you workout and throughout the day. Your muscles need water to function at their peak, and your body needs water to repair your muscles. Don't forget to drink water. Eating carbohydrates before and after your workout aids in muscle recovery and gives you the fuel necessary to power through your routine. Muscles need particular vitamins and minerals to repair properly as you work out, so prepping the body with the right supplements will help prepare it for strenuous exercise.  Vitamin C and antioxidants, in particular, have been effective in helping to prevent muscle soreness. Blueberries, artichokes, and green tea are antioxidant-rich, while chili peppers, guavas, and citrus fruits are all high in vitamin C.  Look into supplementing with branched-chain amino acids (bcaa: L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine) and others before exercise — such as l-glutamine, l-arginine, betaine, and taurine -- may help prepare to clear waste products from your muscles. This also may promote recovery and protein turnover, rebuilding muscle. Consider adding a protein supplement. Protein helps rebuild the muscles. You can try eating more natural sources of protein (like eggs, yoghurt, or chicken) or consider adding a scoop of protein powder in your post-workout smoothie.  Consider adding creatine to your diet. Creatine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body, but...

If your nails seem to be weak and brittle no matter what you do, it's time to think more about what you're putting in your body. Your nails, like the rest of your body, are nourished and strengthened by the food you eat. Nails are actually made out of protein, so if you aren't getting enough on a daily basis, it really shows in your nails.  Eat protein as part of every meal. Eggs, meat and fish are good choices, as are beans, other legumes and tofu. You can also drink protein shakes or add protein powder to a glass of water or milk to get an extra boost of protein. Nails are also nourished by a lot of different vitamins that make them strong, healthy and shiny. If your nails look dull and yellowed, it's important to step up the amount of nutrients you're feeding them. Vitamins D, H and A are especially important for nail health.  Dairy products are a great source of vitamin D. Bananas, beans and eggs are great sources of vitamin H.  Carrots and sweet potatoes will load you up with vitamin A. If you're on an extreme diet, it might make your nails stop growing. Not getting enough food can cause your nails to become brittle, yellowed and prone to breakage. Make sure you're getting enough calories - that includes calories through fats, proteins and carbohydrates. A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are essential for healthy nails.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ешьте белок. Употребляйте побольше витаминов. Старайтесь кушать столько, сколько вам нужно.


If your narcissist seems open-minded, bring up the topic of getting help. In many cases, narcissistic behavior patterns have led to problems in the narcissist's marriage, family, friendships, and career. Use one of these aspects as a benchmark to convince your spouse to get help.  For instance, if your spouse is very career-oriented, but has been struggling to work as a team player, you might use this as fuel for a conversation. Say, "Sweetie, I know you were hoping for a promotion this year, but you've been having trouble with the team at work. I think it would be a great idea if you talked with someone who can help you build on the skills you already have to increase your odds of getting chosen for the position." Although it may seem like a good idea to search for a marriage therapist to help your spouse, avoid this dynamic in favor of having your spouse attend individual therapy. In many cases, couples therapy results in the narcissist playing the victim role, leading to very little change.  Instead help your partner find an individual therapist who has experience treating personality disorders. You don't have to share your suspicions about the specific disorder with your spouse, but this increases the odds of your spouse being properly diagnosed and treated. Be sure to let the therapist know about your suspicions that your spouse is a narcissist. However, do not let your spouse find out that you have shared this information or they may become enraged. Refrain from trying to steer your spouse into treatment one way or another. Treatment for personality disorders like narcissism require long-term, intensive one-on-one therapy, and your spouse must be a willing participant. However, it can be helpful to ask how you can show support as they go through treatment.  You might say, "Darling, I'm so proud of you for seeking help with what you're going through. What can I do to show my support or help you through this time?" Be open to your spouse's response. They may simply ask for space while they come to terms...

If your neighbor's bamboo continually creeps into your yard, you can keep it contained by installing a root barrier in the affected area. Rolls of plastic root barrier are available in home and garden stores. Metal and concrete barriers are also effective.  You can dig a trench that will act as a barrier if you'd prefer not to use a non-porous material in your yard. Installing a pond or stream will also effectively block bamboo roots. Applying an herbicide to the leaves of bamboo shoots may help to prevent new growth from occurring. However, this doesn't always work as well as removing culms and rhizomes by hand. It might be tricky to find a chemical that works for the particular species of bamboo you're dealing with. Even if you do find one that works, you could end up killing other plants or wrecking your neighbor's treasured bamboo grove in the process.  If you want to try an herbicide, use a glyphosate herbicide or a selective-grass herbicide directly on new bamboo growth each time it appears. A selective-grass herbicide is not as effective as the glyphosate type in controlling bamboo, but it may be used in flower beds or around ornamental shrubs.  In order for the herbicide to be effective, it's important that you spray any new shoots as soon as they appear. Using boiling water to kill bamboo is more natural and environmentally friendly than using an herbicide. Whenever you see new shoots growing in, boil water and dump it over the roots and shoots of the plant. Not all bamboo species "run" all over the yard; some actually stay contained when you plant them. Ask an expert at your local nursery to help you choose a species that won't take over your property. This is a simple way to enjoy bamboo while making sure it doesn't get out of control. Most bamboo species do well in large containers that may be placed on your porch or in your yard.

Используйте барьер для корней. Подумайте о применении гербицидов. Полейте корни кипятком. Купите кустарниковый бамбук. Сажайте бамбук в контейнере.


If your nightmares are the result of an underlying condition such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, REM disorder, or restless leg syndrome, receiving treatment for these conditions should help to reduce nightmares.  If your nightmares are related to anxiety, depression or PTSD, certain forms of therapy or medications might help to alleviate these conditions and lessen nightmares. In particular, a drug known as Prazosin is often prescribed to help patients with PTSD, anxiety and panic disorders, and can alleviate nightmares. It is important that you speak to your doctor to figure out a treatment option that is best for you. Eating before bed can trigger nightmares, as food speeds up your metabolism and sends signals to your brain to become more active. Therefore, it's a good idea to cut out bedtime snacks, particularly those that are high in sugar. . Stress can contribute to nightmares, so take some time to relax throughout the day and aim to go to bed with a calm, clear mind.   Yoga and meditation are both good activities for relieving stress and clearing the mind. Consider taking a class, or simply practice for a few minutes each day in the comfort of your own home.  Other activities such as reading, knitting, running or just spending more time with your family and loved can also help to relieve stress. Taking a hot bath before bed can help you to unwind after the stresses of the day and leave you feeling calmer and more relaxed . Certain medications can increase the likelihood of nightmares, so speak to your doctor if you feel this might be an issue for you.  Anti-depressants and certain blood pressure medications are often responsible for causing nightmares, so speak to your doctor about switching to a different drug. Sometimes a change in dosage or coming off a particular drug can cause nightmares, in which case the bad dreams should subside once your body adjusts. Although nightmares may cause sleep deprivation, sleep deprivation can also cause nightmares. Therefore, taking steps to improve the quality of your...

If your nose is stuffed up but not dripping, or mucus isn't coming out easily when you blow your nose, don't force it. Your impulse may be to blow your nose until you expel some mucus, but it's best if you leave the tissues alone. Only blow your nose when it is running. Drinking lots of fluids when you’re sick can help clear up a stuffy nose. Stick with plain water, herbal tea, or broth and keep a water bottle or mug on hand at all times to encourage hydration.  Comfortably hot beverages are especially helpful for thinning out mucus. Avoid sugary beverages like juice and soda since they don't contain any helpful nutrients or electrolytes your body needs. Sugar may also prevent your immune system from functioning properly. Stay away from caffeine, such as in coffee, as it can be dehydrating. Lying flat on your back can cause mucus to build up while you rest or sleep. Elevate your head with a few pillows or snooze in a recliner when you have a stuffy nose. If you typically sleep on your stomach or side, try sleeping on your back and elevating your head while you're sick. Irritants like cigarette smoke can make a stuffy nose worse. Avoid smoking or being around others who smoke when you’re congested. If your stuffy nose is due to allergies, do your best to avoid common allergens, like dust and pet dander. If you need help to quit smoking, speak to your doctor or contact the Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

If your nose is stuffy and you have trouble breathing, you may be snoring at night to overcompensate for the reduced airflow. If you suffer from a chronic sinus infection, speak with your doctor about treatment. Use these only as a temporary measure. Prolonged use of either can pose health risks.  Gargle with a peppermint mouthwash to shrink the lining of your nose and throat. This is especially effective if your snoring is a temporary condition caused by a head cold or an allergy. Change your sheets and pillowcases often to remove bedroom allergens. Vacuum your floors, clean your curtains, and dust the place down. Many respiratory infections are caused by germs floating around in our living spaces. to humidify your bedroom. When you breathe dry air, your airways tighten, reducing the amount of air that can pass through your windpipe. If your bedroom is very dry, you may be snoring to compensate. Most pharmacies sell bottles of saline solution, and some of these solutions are medicated with decongestants to potentiate the effect. Use these nasal decongestant sprays sparingly, as they can dry out your nose with overuse.  Take a warm shower or bath before bed to keep your breathing channels from drying out. Hot, moist air will help drain the mucus from your sinuses and keep them unobstructed. As noted before, raise the head of your bed or sleep on an extra pillow. This will help reduce the amount of mucus that drains and blocks your nasal passages. These sticky strips may make your snoring quieter, but they are not likely to actually fix the problem. Nasal strips are available at most pharmacies. Following the directions on the package and tape one of the strips to the outside of your nose. They work by lifting and opening your nostrils to increase airflow.

TL;DR in Russian:

If your outbreak was caused by external contact with an allergen, clearing that allergen from your skin right away can help lessen the severity of the reaction.  Avoid soap products that contain sodium laurel sulfate as this chemical often irritates an allergic reaction.  Unscented, gentle cleansers such as Dove, Aveeno, Cetaphil, or Shur-clens are good options. Many lotions and ointments are available over-the-counter at supermarkets or drug stores that can provide immediate relief for symptoms like itching and burning. Try some of the following:  Calamine Lotion, which should be applied as needed unless otherwise directed. However, be careful not to leave calamine lotion on the skin too long as this can irritate the rash more.  Aloe Vera should be applied two or three times a day until the area begins to heal. Hydrocortisone cream, sold at most drug stores and supermarkets, is available without a prescription and can provide temporary relief of skin rashes caused by allergens.  Low-strength (.5 or 1%) hydrocortisone creams are typically applied one to four times a day until symptoms begin to clear up. Hydrocortisone cream comes in the form of an ointment, lotion, foam, liquid, gel, spray, and a moist towelette. Choose whichever form you're most comfortable using, and follow the instructions on the label.Ointments tend to be more soothing to irritated skin.  Lotions can sting and are best for covering larger areas. For some, over-the-counter lotions and creams further irritate their skin. If that's the case for you, you may want to invest in some natural remedies.  Clay can provide a cooling sensation and thus decrease the need to itch a rash. Use virgin, untreated clay. Mix the clay in a bowl or cup of water until it has a creamy consistency, dab it on itchy or irritated areas, let it dry, and then peel it off.  If peeling the clay is causing any further irritation, try re-wetting the clay and gently removing with a soft, wet towel. Apple Cider Vinegar has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that...

If your pain is severe, you are likely breathing rapidly and shallowly. In contrast,  controlled deep breathing (breathing from the diaphragm and exhaling from the chest) has been shown to harness the parasympathetic nervous system's “quieting response.”  Lay down in a quiet room. Turn off any distractions and reduce any exterior factors that may over-stimulate you. You may choose to close your eyes or focus them on a specific point.  Try to focus on nothing but inhalation and exhalation. If you can realize that you are in control of your body and take charge of your own breathing, you may be better able to prevent the pain from controlling you. Once you are breathing deeply, muscle relaxation may come naturally. Try to let go of all feeling in your body and remain focused only on breathing. Women practicing Lamaze breathing techniques in childbirth are utilizing the benefits of controlling breathing to lessen pain. If deep diaphragmatic breathing alone fails to provide you with relief, there are other options for calming tight muscles and the pain that accompanies them.  Progressive relaxation has been shown to be an effective form of muscle relaxation that requires no external stimuli. Begin with your toes, then work you way up through the muscles in the rest of the body until you reach your face. For each muscle, first slowly contract the muscle, then relax it, waiting until it is fully released before moving upward. When your mind alone fails to bring muscle relation, consider adding pressure point therapy. Research shows that finding pressure points associated with your specific type of pain and compressing them with your fingers reduces muscle tension, thereby alleviating pain. Be careful not to continue activating a pressure point if it seems to be worsening your pain when you remove your fingers, however.

TL;DR in Russian:

Переведите дыхание. Сделайте следующий шаг.


If your paint has hardened completely, it won't be possible for you to revive it. However, paint that has thickened and has become firm but is still somewhat tacky or malleable can often be restored. You can gauge your paint with a poke from your finger or a tap from your brush or palette knife. For paint that is especially solid, press onto it firmly with your finger, the handle end of your brush, or your palette knife. If you notice an indentation form, this is a good sign that you may be able to revitalize your paint. If you notice your acrylic paint has begun to solidify, you may still be able to bring it back to a workable state. Add water or a thinning agent and firmly mix it into your paint with a palette knife. Make sure you have a good grip on your palette before attempting this; this may take some extra oomph, and accidentally knocking your palette on the ground can create a big mess. You may find it easiest to set your palette down on a sturdy surface before attempting this. You should still maintain a good grip, as the smooth surface of your palette will be prone to slipping or sliding as you grind at the paint with your palette knife. If your poke check has revealed that your paint, while significantly hardened, is still malleable, you may not be able to revitalize it by mixing it as you would conventionally. In these cases, you should grind your palette knife to mix water into the hardened paint on your palette. This motion will force the water throughout the thicker, hardened parts of the paint. If after some minutes you notice no difference in the consistency of your paint, it is likely too dry to revitalize.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите те краски, которые еще можно спасти. Чтобы восстановить загустевшую акриловую краску, используйте мастихин. Постарайтесь раскрошить сильно затвердевшую краску.


If your paint is in a metal can, grab a flat blade screwdriver. Wedge the screwdriver’s tip under the lid. Push down on the handle of the screwdriver to loosen the airtight seal. Repeat this process three to four times around the lid. When the lid is unsealed, remove it from the paint can. This method may be used on old and new paint cans. Using a paint stick, stir the latex paint for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir the paint in an upward and downward spiral motion. This will combine the heavy molecules that settled on the bottom with the lighter molecules on the top.  Another method of mixing the paint is to pour it repeatedly from one bucket or paint can to another. Instead of a paint stick, use an electric drill with a paint mixing attachment. Observe the paint coming off the paint stick. Slowly lift the stick out of the paint and hold it over the paint can. If the paint coming off the stick looks like smooth, thick cream, it does not need to be thinned and doing so will actually render the paint unusable. If the paint remains on the stick or comes off in clumps, it needs to be thinned. You can also use a funnel to evaluate the paint’s thickness. Hold a funnel over the paint can. Use a ladle to pour the paint into the funnel. If it flows freely through your funnel, then the paint is thin enough. If it does not flow freely through the funnel, it must be thinned.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откройте банку с краской. Размешайте краску. Оцените густоту краски.


If your paper sketches are not high quality or drawn with clear lines, this option may not work. If your sketch is high quality:  Scan the sketches to your computer. Then, retouch them in Photoshop. Clean up the lines. Play with the filters, colors, brightness, contrast, saturation, or any other effects at your disposal. Add lines, flourishes, splatter effects, and other embellishments that might make the design more dynamic and balanced (where appropriate). Make sure that the entire layout is internally consistent by keeping proportions reasonable, styles consistent, and colors cohesive. If you aren’t happy with the quality of your paper sketches, use computer software to draw line art on Photoshop. If you have a computer drawing tablet, you can color and draw straight onto Photoshop or a similar program. Look for a font that complements your overall design, rather than overwhelm it. The font should work with the image(s) in your design to create a balanced design.  Think about the fonts on some of the more well known logos or designs. The font should relate back to the company or brand’s overall style. Nike’s Just Do It’s slogan, for example, is in a bold and simple font, just like their bold and simple swoosh logo. In contrast, the font used for a sports team or a garage rock band may be more elaborate or ornate. Make sure any filters you are using on the design are also applied to the font. If you are working with layers on Photoshop, you will need to drag your font layers below the photo effects layers.  Use free fonts from an online site like defont.com. You can also access free brush designs from brusheezy.com.  Look at how to add fonts to your PC, Illustrator, or Photoshop if necessary. If you’re feeling adventurous with design, you can make your own. For a small-scale operation, you can continue ironing on the design. If you’d like to make shirts at a larger scale, however, you can pay a printing company to make them for you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте Adobe Photoshop, чтобы подправить свои бумажные эскизы. Используйте компьютерные программы для создания рисунка. При желании добавьте к рисунку текст. Выпускайте футболку(и).


If your parents are concerned about covering the cost of your tattoo (which can become expensive quickly), assure them that you will pay the tattoo artist’s fee. This will also help convince your folks that you’re mature enough to have thought ahead about the financial cost of a tattoo. Your parents will know that you really want a tattoo if you work hard and earn money for it. Your parents will want to make sure the studio is clean and hygienic and also look at the artist’s work to make sure that they do a good job and can create good looking tattoos. Make sure that the work the tattoo artist has done is well done, and that they are experienced and professional. Your parents will likely want to review the work that artist has done, to assure that they know what they are doing. Your parents will want to know about the tattoo parlor’s sanitary practices. Call the shop, or email if an address is given. Ask what steps the artists take to clean their tools and dispose of used needles. Your parents would be right to be concerned about this issue. If the tattoo artists do not properly clean their tools, or if they re-use tattoo needles, you could be at risk for serious illness. They can be good for moral support. It will also make your folks feel more comfortable about you getting the tattoo if they can be in the room with you while it’s happening. If you need their legal consent you may need your parents with you anyway.

TL;DR in Russian:

Откладывайте деньги на татуировку. Сходите с родителями в студию, чтобы они могли поговорить с мастером. Изучите санитарные условия студии. Предложите родителям присутствовать при нанесении рисунка.


If your parents don’t seem comfortable letting you go to homecoming, ask them to explain why. They may be concerned about drugs and alcohol, or they may be worried about who’s driving you. Listen to them calmly and patiently, so they have a chance to express themselves.  If you're not sure how to start the conversation, you might say, "I know that you're unsure about homecoming. What are you concerned about?" It may be difficult, but don’t interrupt your parents when they’re talking. Be respectful and show that you take their concerns seriously. Once you know what your parents’ concerns or objections are, you can try to find ways to address them. In most cases, that means being willing to compromise. For example, they might not want you to go to the post-homecoming activities, so agree that you’ll just go to the dance and come straight home. They may be concerned about your transportation for the evening, so you might suggest that they drive you to and from the dance. Find a way to make you and your parents both at least a little bit happy. Another way to compromise with your parents about homecoming is to suggest periodic check-ins over the course of the night. For example, you might agree to text or call when you arrive at the dance, at some point in the middle, and right before you leave. If you’re headed to post-homecoming activities, you can check in again when you arrive at the locale and when you’re on your way home. If you behave in a mature, responsible way, your parents are more likely to trust you and allow you to go to homecoming. Make a habit of always obeying your curfew, so they know that you'll be home when you say that you will. If they give you chores around the house, do them without your parents having to remind you. You should also be kind to your siblings, and try to resolve conflicts with them without having your parents intervene. Your performance in school can also help convince your parents to let you go.  Work to get good grades so they know that you take your responsibilities...

TL;DR in Russian:

Внимательно выслушайте родителей, все их переживания и возражения. Будьте готовы пойти на компромисс. Заслужите доверие родителей. Примите их решение.


If your parents have different Rh factors (or if they are both positive and you want to know for sure that you are also positive), you can request a blood typing test. This outpatient procedure is fast and should not be very painful. You can go home afterwards. A nurse or physician will clean a spot on your inner elbow or wrist with an antiseptic towelette. He/She will locate an easily accessible vein in this area. After wrapping a tourniquet around your upper arm to pool the blood, he/she will stick your vein with a needle. The needle is usually connected to a syringe, which removes your blood. Once he/she has taken enough blood, he/she will take out the needle and gently press the injection site with a sterile swab. You will then receive a bandage. Afterwards, the nurse will label your sample and send it to a lab for testing.  Doctors test children’s blood through the back of their hands.  If you feel like you might pass out, tell the medical professional. He/She can help you recline.  You might feel a prick, sting, or mild pain when your nurse sticks you. After the test, you might bruise at the puncture site. This pain should not last long. At the laboratory, a technician will test your sample for its Rh factor. He/She will combine a sample of your blood with an anti-Rh serum. If your cells clot, you have Rh+. On the other hand, if your blood cells do not stick together, you are Rh-. It is likely that the lab will run tests to determine your ABO blood type as well during this time. Record your blood type in a safe place and share this information with your emergency contacts. You will need this information if you require a blood transfusion or organ transplants. Additionally, if you are or plan to be pregnant, knowing your Rh factor is essential. If you are female and Rh-, you will need to have your partner test his Rh factor. If you are Rh- and he is Rh+, you can experience Rh incompatibility. This means that if your baby inherits his father’s Rh+, your antibodies can attack the baby's red blood cells....

Попросите врача провести анализ для определения группы крови. Сдайте кровь для анализа. Узнайте результаты анализа крови. Тип крови имеет очень большую значимость. Остерегайтесь рисков, связанных с беременностью.


If your parents have hidden something big, then it will be hidden in a very different place than something small, like your favorite DVD. Think about where something fits and is concealed best.  Very small items like DVDs can be hidden in very tight places. Look between books, inside bags, under lightweight items. If you're looking for something like a bicycle, avoid rooms where it obviously won't fit without being noticeable, like the bathroom. The parents' bedroom is normally off-limits, so it's the most obvious place to hide something. Think about whichever place is the most private, the location you'd get in the most trouble for investigating.  Check their drawers. Sock and underwear drawers are definitely off limits, and a bit odd to sift through. This is a very natural hiding spot. Look in their closet. The space in the closet allows for a lot of hiding spots. Make sure you check the shelves, between folded clothes, and in any messy looking location. Crawl under the bed. For some reason, people think under the bed is a good hiding spot. For adults it's a more difficult location to see because it requires getting on the floor. Take a peek behind the TV. The spot behind the TV is often dusty because the TV is heavy and hard to move. This is a natural hiding spot because people don't see the spot often. Spot-check their bathroom. There aren't a lot of great hiding spots in your parent's bathroom, so look in a few obvious locations. The more items in a room, the easier it is to camouflage something. Colors, shapes, and patterns blend into a background when there are multiple items in the way. Additionally, the more items that need to be moved, the less likely someone is to go through the effort of searching.  The pantry is a perfect hiding spot. Lots of heavy cans, cookbooks, and assorted odds-and-ends obstruct the view. Moving a bunch of food all around makes it harder to find. Check the linen closet. If you don't change your own sheets or towels, the linen closet could be your jackpot. This is a great...

If your parents haven't met the people you plan on attending the concert with, invite them over beforehand so that everyone gets to know each other. Your parents will feel better knowing who it is you'll be spending the evening with as opposed to picturing strangers. Are you getting a ride there? Taking an Uber, Lyft, or other taxi service? Figure out how you'll be going to the concert as well as how long it takes to get there and which route you'll take. These are important factors to discuss with your parents so that they know you'll arrive safely and without rushing. If you'll be driving there, make sure the driver is responsible and someone you (and your parents!) trust. If you're having a friend drive you, check to make sure they have a clean driving record and won't be drinking. Asking your parents or another family member to drive you is always a great option, too. If you have an older brother or sister, ask them if they wouldn't mind going to the concert with you. Knowing that you'll be with someone they trust and know very well will make your parents feel better about letting you go, and you'll have just as much fun.

TL;DR in Russian:

Познакомьте родителей со своими друзьями, вместе с которыми вы собираетесь на концерт. Узнайте, как вы доберетесь до концерта. Садитесь в машину к надежному человеку, не представляющему угрозы. Попросите старшего брата или сестру пойти с вами.


If your partner gives you constructive feedback following a fight, act on it. This shows that you listened to them and want to make positive changes. Recognize that you’re not perfect and that there are areas where you (and your partner) need to improve. Swallow your defensiveness and make the effort to follow through.  For example, if your partner asks you to help out with chores, do them without having to be asked. Take the garbage out, buy groceries, and anticipate the needs of your partner and the home. You shouldn’t have to bend over backward or give up your life to please them. Feedback should feel constructive and not overwhelming or controlling. The sooner you two can experience some form of joy and lightheartedness, the better. Actions that create genuine positive feelings will help you and your partner feel connected. Give your partner positive attention in ways that are meaningful to them. Backing away after a fight can lead to distance between you, which, over time, could end your partnership. For example, tell them how attracted you are to them, take them on a date, or cook them dinner. Affection can help foster feelings of connection with you and your partner, which is especially helpful after a fight. Hold your partner’s hand, put your arm around them, or touch or caress their leg. Make sure you touch your partner in a way that they enjoy. Affection can also lower stress levels, so both you and your partner benefit from touch. It's important to repair your friendship as well as your romantic relationship. Plan a fun date together. Go out to your favorite restaurant, take a hike, or go to a museum. Do something that you both enjoy doing. If it was a major fight and you’re having a hard time reconnecting with your partner, a romantic gesture may be just the thing. Buy your partner a gift that they want or make an appointment for a massage. If you want to go big, book a trip together or take them on their dream date.

Действуйте в соответствии с обратной связью партнера. Уделяйте партнеру позитивное внимание. Делитесь лаской и нежностью. Займитесь чем-нибудь веселым вместе. Совершите широкий романтический жест. Примите изменения в отношениях. Обратитесь к семейному психологу.


If your partner has been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while, you should explain why you don't like tattoos before they actually get one. For instance, maybe tattoos are a trigger for you and bring back unpleasant memories and experiences. Or maybe you find tattoos unprofessional and unattractive. Once you explain why you don't like tattoos, your partner may decide not to get one. Remember that your partner has the right to control the appearance of their own body. Avoid using your apprehension about tattoos as a way to manipulate your partner into not getting a tattoo. You can share your apprehension, but try to be respectful of your partner’s wishes. If your partner comes home with a surprise tattoo without any warning, you should still vocalize your feelings. However, be sure to be respectful and keep in mind that your partner has the right to do what they want to do with their body. For example, you could say "I wish you would have told me you wanted to get a tattoo; that way we could have talked about it in advance and come to a compromise." This will allow you to get your feelings off your chest and you and your partner can come to an understanding. If your partner got a surprise tattoo of your name or image, it was likely intended as a nice gesture. You should not be overly critical because they are trying to demonstrate their commitment and feelings towards your relationship. When you are talking with your partner about their new tattoo, do not shout or use an aggressive tone. Instead, you should approach the conversation in a calm and gentle manner. This way you are not attacking your partner, but instead trying to come to an understanding. Take a deep breath before speaking. You could also try taking some time to cool down before approaching your partner about their new tattoo. Perhaps you are upset because your partner did not tell you about the tattoo in advance. As a result, you feel as though your partner does not value your opinion. Explain to your partner that you feel overlooked and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поделитесь своими мыслями до похода в тату-салон. Поделитесь своими чувствами постфактум. Говорите спокойным и мягким тоном. Попросите партнера обсуждать такие вопросы с вами.


If your partner has genital herpes, they can be contagious at all times; however, the risk of infection is highest when your partner is having an outbreak. It's important that you and your partner both know how to recognize a herpes outbreak. Symptoms include the following:  A tingling sensation in the infected area Small red dots or blisters around the genitals Flu-like symptoms, such as a headache, muscle aches, fevers, and swollen glands Your partner will be most likely to pass on the infection to you during an outbreak. If you want to avoid becoming infected yourself, talk to your partner about avoiding sexual activity during an outbreak. The duration of outbreaks depend on how long your partner has had the virus and whether they are on any antiviral medications. On average, outbreaks last three to 14 days. Using condoms or dental dams during sex can reduce the transmission rates of genital herpes. Keep in mind herpes can affect parts of the skin not covered by a condom or dental dam so such protective methods do not completely eliminate the risk.  Be aware that herpes can be spread by both vaginal or anal sex. Use of latex condoms can greatly cut down on transmission rates of genital herpes. Transmission rates are reduced by 30 – 50% when latex condoms are used properly. Dental dams may not provide as much protection as condoms but can still be effective at preventing the spread of herpes.  Herpes can be spread through oral sex. Both the giver or the receiver of oral sex can contract herpes during the act; therefore, to be safe, you should also use condoms or dental dams during oral sex if you want to prevent the virus from spreading.  Consider using lubricants. They will not protect against STDs, but can reduce friction and therefore limit the number of outbreaks. Lubrication will also help keep condoms from breaking during use. Products like KY jelly or AstroGlide are available at most drug stores. Herpes can also be spread from skin-to-skin contact. If you're engaging in genital stimulation with your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Умейте распознать симптомы вспышки генитального герпеса. Подумайте о том, чтобы вовсе отказаться от сексуального контакта в период обострения генитального герпеса. Воспользуйтесь презервативом или коффердамом (латексная завеса). Избегайте контакта с высыпаниями зараженного. Подумайте о других видах сексуальной активности.


If your partner is having an emotional affair they may not tell you about all their contact with the other person. They may stop being at home as much because they are meeting with the other person. You may also notice that they talk on the phone, text, or chat online with people and don’t mention it. If asked, they may evade answering by saying they are talking to “no one,” “a friend,” or “a co-worker.” If your partner is having an emotional affair, they may start trying to hide their interactions. This might mean they delete call logs or texts, they go somewhere private when they talk on the phone, or they never let you around them and the other person. Your partner may not want you to see how they are with the other person because they act differently. Even though emotional affairs are not physical, that doesn’t mean someone in an emotional affair doesn’t want to impress the other person. Often, people in emotional affairs will dress up before seeing the person, wear perfume or cologne, and start changing things to make themselves more attractive.  Notice if your partner has changed the way they look recently. This could be due to an emotional affair. If your partner has started to dress differently to go to work, the gym, or to a business dinner, it could be a sign. Often, you know when something isn’t right in your relationship. This may be the case if your partner is having an emotional affair. If you start to notice a difference in the way your partner talks about someone or you feel like the relationship isn’t just friendship, your intuition may be right.  If you feel like something is going on, then you want to look for other signs. Don’t go on just your intuition alone, but don’t ignore it either. Another red flag to watch out for is if you advise your partner to be careful about developing a close friendship with someone else and they laugh at you or get defensive.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, скрывает ли человек, что общается с кем-то еще. Выясните, старается ли человек скрыть свое общение с кем-то другим. Обратите внимание на то, стал ли ваш партнер одеваться иначе. Доверяйте своей интуиции.


If your partner is showing signs that they are ready to make your relationship known, take subtle steps forward. Doing so may make your partner see that telling the secret isn’t a bad thing. It may also encourage them to be more open about you to others as well.  For example, posting a picture of the two of you on Facebook or Instagram is an easy way to take the first step. Inviting them to hang out with your friends or even attending a party together are also ideal ways to introduce your relationship. Only do this if you are sure your partner is ready to be open about your relationship. Otherwise, you could create problems by making your partner feel rushed. You may have thought that you could handle keeping your relationship a secret and agreed to do so. If you decide that you can’t anymore, you don’t have to stay. In some situations, it may be unhealthy to stay with someone who hides their love for you, particularly without a valid reason. Fortunately, you can make the decision to walk away. Keeping your relationship a secret may actually be a blessing in disguise when you decide to leave a relationship. Not showcasing it on social media and having people ask you what happened may help you to pick up the pieces much easier than if everyone you know was aware of the relationship. Although it may be painful to deal with a partner keeping your relationship a secret, going through this experience can help you identify what you do want in a relationship. In order to a have healthy partnership, you need to feel as if you emotional needs are being met. Plus, although all relationships come with hardship, you should feel nourished, supported, and positive about yours. When you enter into your next relationship, be sure to listen to your needs.  Gain more awareness of your emotions. Rather than taking whatever your partner says as law, decide for yourself how you feel. Think about what you need. Is being able to share your relationship with family and friends important to you? If so, make that clear up front....

TL;DR in Russian:

Подавайте личный пример. Прекратите отношения, если вы несчастливы. Примите решение на будущее.


If your partner pulls away when you try to kiss in public, ask them about it. Be sensitive to their feelings, and respect their opinion. Don't make them feel like they have to kiss you in public. Just because your partner doesn't want to kiss you in public does not mean they are ashamed of you. It could be something as simple as not wanting to kiss in a certain location. For example, they may not want to kiss close to where they work, or in front of their friends. There could be any number of reasons why your partner doesn't want to kiss in public. Some reasons could be difficult to talk about. Maybe they didn't get a lot of affection in previous relationships, or maybe they feel that it's a private matter. When they finish speaking, reply with, "I understand why you feel this way." Then, let your partner know your side of the issue. Don't negate their feelings, but try to find out the underlying reasons of the problem. Ask what your partner is comfortable doing in public. Assure them that you aren't trying to make out with them in the middle of a large crowd. If you reach a compromise and you both decide it's okay to hold hands, and kiss on the cheek, respect those boundaries. Don't break your partner's trust by doing anything more than what they're comfortable doing. When you're alone, let loose. Don't let the issue of public affection get in the way of actually engaging each other. In the privacy of your home, you should feel comfortable being affectionate. Tickle each other. Wrestle around and kiss. Keep things playful. After a while, some of that affection may spill out into the outside world.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обсудите возможные неудобства. Слушайте. Постарайтесь прийти к согласию. Не позволяйте данной ситуации мешать близости наедине.


If your pencil tip breaks off completely, you may be out of luck and won't be able to restore it to a point. The best way to handle a broken pencil is off course to have spare pencils available. The smartest strategy for dealing with a broken pencil is to not have to try to sharpen it, and to always carry at least a couple more than you think you will need. If you can't get to the pencil sharpener, you may be able to draw upon the pity of a fellow classmate. You may even be able to get someone to offer you a spare pencil without having to talk: simply sigh and hold up the broken tip. With luck, someone near you will notice and will be willing to hand you an extra. Take care not to make your situation worse, though, by speaking during an exam or important assignment. You don't want to get in even worse trouble or get your friend in hot water by forcing them to talk to you. You'll both risk failing the test or assignment. If you have a tendency to break pencils or if you dull the point quickly because you press down firmly when writing or drawing, you can avoid creating problems for yourself by constantly asking to get up and use the sharpener by keeping your own in your desk or pocket. You can purchase mini sharpeners at any office supply store or big-box store like Target or Walmart. You can also use a make-up sharpener (usually designed to sharpen eye and lip liners). So long as you aren't taking a standardized test which requires  you to use a pencil, you may be able to switch to a pen or even crayon to complete your work. With luck, your instructor will understand.

TL;DR in Russian:

Имейте при себе запасные карандаши. Попросите кого-нибудь одолжить вам карандаш. Используйте компактную точилку для карандашей. Перейдите на другой пишущий инструмент.


If your personal life is happy, then chances are your professional life will follow suit. Make sure to spend plenty of time with family and friends so that it doesn’t affect your ability to focus at work. Try to stick to a routine with work and home life. If you can, arrive at work and leave at the same time every day. Make sure to account for overtime work with some extra time to yourself for a long lunch or a walk. Let the truism “if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life” guide you. You can’t be truly successful or find balance in your work and personal lives unless you are passionate about your profession. Your job will feel like chore if you don’t love it. This will make you more likely to be sloppy in your assignments and not take any initiative that would help you succeed. Changing your professional or personal course to put yourself on the path to success and happiness requires taking some risk. However, this doesn’t mean making reckless decisions, rather that you should take a calculated risk. Take a calculated risk, not one that may derail your professional or personal life. You can’t be well-rounded or balanced if you don’t take care of your physical and mental health. Learn to focus on yourself and have a “me party.” Exercise is an excellent way to relieve stress, and increase endorphins and energy.  Taking a short walk twice a day will refresh your body and mind and can help you avoid burnout. For example, a 3-mile run will give you time to work out personal or professional problems if you need to while providing your body with needed exercise to maintain your health.  In a world where you are easily contacted by cell phones, email, and social media, having unplugged alone time is vital to maintaining your health by minimizing how much input you need to process on a daily basis. For example, you can turn off all electronics at 10pm so that you have an hour or two all to yourself or with your family. Having time away from your job for everything from ten minutes a day to a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сосредоточьтесь на своей жизни, а не на работе. Полюбите свою работу. Не бойтесь рисковать. Заботьтесь о своем физическом и эмоциональном здоровье. Не забывайте о перерывах, выходных и отпусках.


If your pet has had seizures before, your veterinarian may have prescribed tubes of rectal Diazepam for use during or after a fit. Diazepam is a tranquilizer and good at calming brain activity sufficiently to bring some dogs out of a fit.  Because your dog cannot swallow oral medications during a seizure, a convenient method of delivery is rectal administration. Diazepam is well absorbed across the rectal mucosa and swiftly enters the blood stream.  A 20 kg dog requires one 10 mg rectal syringe of diazepam, as soon after the seizure starts if possible. The dose can be repeated three times during a 24 hour period. To instill the rectal diazepam, remove the cap from the dosing syringe and squeeze a blob of the Diazepam onto the nozzle tip in order to lubricate it. Here's how to gently and safely administer it to your dog:  Gently hold your dog's tail away from the anus so that you can see the rectal opening. Place the nozzle against the central opening and with a gentle twisting motion push the neck of the treatment syringe into the rectum up to the depth of the syringes shoulders. With the suppository firmly seated in the rectal lumen, squeeze the tube to empty the contents into the rectum. Withdrawal the nozzle and throw the spent suppository away. The sooner you give your dog the diazepam, the sooner his symptoms will likely fade. However, do not compromise your sense of calm in your haste. Though time is important, it's more important that you do not aggravate your dog any further. You can also give your dog the medication after a fit to help him stay calm and prevent future episodes, especially if he is prone to cluster seizures.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если возможно, используйте транквилизатор, который вы применяли в прошлый приступ судорог. Используйте ректальный суппозиторий. Дайте транквилизатор сразу же, как только сможете.


If your pet will be staying at home on its own, keep the thermostat at a comfortable temperature for your pet. Maintain the thermostat as if you were still at your house. Close the doors to any rooms that you do not want your pet to get into. Make sure that your pet has a good bed and way to go to the bathroom (doggy door or litter box). Leave food and water for your pet in a familiar place. Your home should be safe if you have a pet that roams freely throughout the house.  Keep trash cans, toilets, and heating/air vents covered.  Move any plants that may be poisonous, household cleaners, medications, and chemicals to higher shelves.  Put away any toys, games, magazines, arts and crafts supplies, food, and household knick-knacks or decorations that may be tempting to your pet. Hide your clothing and shoes from your pet as well. If you must leave your pet alone for a few days, use an automatic feeder. An automatic feeder will portion out your pet's food as many times a day as necessary.  This will keep your pet from overeating.  Also, some pets, such as cats, prefer eating fresh foods and would not be happy with a huge bowl of food left out. There are automated feeders for both food and water. If you have no one to check on your pet while you are away, a pet camera will allow you to monitor your pet.  Some of these tools will allow you to interact with your pet as well. If you are unable to purchase a camera, there are surveillance apps that are more affordable.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте обстановку дома комфортной. Сделайте дом безопасным для животного. Используйте автоматическую кормушку. Подумайте о приобретении специальной камеры для домашних животных.


If your phone autocorrects your text message into something embarrassing or insulting, you need to send a new message as soon as possible to inform the recipient of the mistake. If you wait too long, the recipient might think you meant to type the text as it is. Send a new message apologizing for the mistake. People today know that most phones use autocorrect software, so when you accidentally send a message that doesn’t say what you meant to say, most people will understand the mistake. Make a joke of the faux pas by texting something about the mistake right after. Text “LOL. My phone apparently thinks differently than I do.” Most phones will give you the option to turn off the autocorrect software. If you turn off autocorrect, it might take you longer to type out a text message, and you still might misspell words, but you will know you’re sending a message you meant to type. Some phones will underline misspelled words for you so you can fix them on your own. Check your phone’s user’s manual to find out how you can turn off your autocorrect software.

TL;DR in Russian:

Реагируйте на ситуацию быстро. Попробуйте посмеяться над ошибкой. Постарайтесь отключить автозамену.


If your phone has a glass screen (instead of a plastic one) you'll have to use a more heavy-duty solution than toothpaste or baking soda to get scratches off your phone. In this case, a cerium oxide polish is recommended. This type of polish can be bought as a soluble powder, or in a pre-mixed form. While the pre-mixed polish is obviously the more convenient option, you'll get much better value if you buy it in its powdered form. 100g of cerium oxide powder should be more than enough when it comes to polishing your phone screen. You may want to buy a larger amount in the event of future scratching however.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите полироль на основе оксида церия.


If your pimple is deep under the surface, trying to pop it will do more harm than good. Wait until you see a visible white or yellow head, which means that the infection is close to the surface of your skin. Blackheads, which form when pores or hair follicles are clogged with hardened oil, can also sometimes be gently squeezed out with a warm compress. Before trying to pop the pimple, wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap. This will help prevent you from contaminating the area and creating a worse infection.  Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, and make sure to wash every surface of your hands, including under your fingernails. Rinse your hands carefully and dry them on a clean towel when you’re done. After washing your hands, wash your face with warm water and the facial cleanser of your choice. Ideally, use a cleanser that is designed for oily skin so you can get rid of extra oil and grease as well as dirt and bacteria on your skin. Look for cleansers that are formulated without dyes or perfumes, since these can irritate your skin and make acne worse. Once your skin is clean, soak a washcloth in warm water. Gently press it against the pimple to soften your skin and open your pores. If the pimple is ready to drain, the warm compress should encourage it to do so.  If the pimple doesn’t drain easily when you apply the washcloth, you may need to wait another day or 2 and try again. However, some dermatologists recommend using a warm compress for 15 minutes a day, 3-4 times daily until the pimple drains.  If you feel pain when you apply the compress, stop and call your doctor. This may be a sign that you have a deeper infection that needs professional treatment. If you’re sure a pimple is ready to pop but you aren’t having much luck with the washcloth method, you can also try gently lancing the pimple. After washing your hands and face, take a pin or needle and disinfect it by passing it through the flame of a lighter. Carefully poke the head of the pimple to puncture it.  Try gently pressing...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дождитесь, когда прыщ созреет, то есть его белая головка будет хорошо заметна на поверхности кожи. Помойте руки, чтобы избавиться от грязи и микробов на них. Помойте лицо теплой водой с очищающим средством. Приложите теплое полотенце к прыщу, чтобы выдавить его. Проколите прыщ иглой, если компресс не помог. Приложите холодный компресс после того, как вы выдавили прыщ. Дезинфицируйте участок после вскрытия медицинским спиртом. Нанесите на обработанный участок средство точечного нанесения с салициловой кислотой.


If your pimple is red and inflamed but not ready to pop, a hydrocolloid dressing can help calm it quickly. Put the hydrocolloid bandage on your pimple overnight to minimize inflammation and help absorb excess oil and pus.  Hydrocolloid dressings are the same type of rubbery bandage that are sometimes used to treat blisters. You can find them in your local pharmacy or online. This treatment won’t heal your pimple overnight, but it will make it a little less obvious. Use the treatment for a few days to help your pimple heal up completely. Acne spot treatments can help dry out pimples and reduce inflammation to promote faster healing. They are also formulated with medications that help kill the germs that cause pimples to form. While these treatments won’t heal a pimple instantly, they can help reduce its appearance and encourage it to heal up more quickly. Look for acne spot treatments containing ingredients such as:  Benzoyl peroxide Salicylic acid Sulfur While it won’t actually get rid of your pimple, a little concealer or coverup can make a pimple a lot less noticeable. Dab the concealer on the spot and gently pat it to blend it in with the surrounding skin.  A concealer with a green tint can help offset the redness of the pimple. Before applying the concealer, wash the affected area to remove grease, dirt, and germs. You can also make the concealer more effective by combining it with other treatments. For example, use a hydrocolloid patch overnight to reduce inflammation, then put on the concealer in the morning. It can take weeks for a pimple to surface and become ready to drain. If you just can’t wait that long, a cortisone injection can help it heal up in a matter of hours to a couple days. Talk to your doctor about getting a cortisone treatment, or ask for a referral to a dermatologist who can do it. A dermatologist can also recommend treatments to prevent future outbreaks.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте гидроколлоидную повязку, чтобы уменьшить отек. Попробуйте средство для точечного лечения прыщей, чтобы иссушить его. Попробуйте скрыть прыщ  корректором. Обратитесь к врачу, чтобы сделать инъекцию кортизона и быстро справиться с прыщом.


If your plant is indeed infested with spider mites, the leaves may have yellow blotches on them. When light falls on the leaves, you may see a silvered look or even streaks of bronze or silver.  While mites usually attack the underside of leaves, they can sometimes get greedy and also eat the upper side of leaves and flowers. Eventually, the mites will suck holes right through the leaves - providing the most obvious evidence of infestation. Even if you can't find holes in the leaves, your plant may still have spider mites, so keep an eye out for other signs of infestation. Other signs of mite damage include distortion, deformation, wilting, spotting, streaking or discoloration on the surface of the leave. If the mite damage gets particularly bad, the leaves may start to fall off. This is a giveaway sign of some spider mites. The webbing usually clusters around feeding areas. Note that not all species of spider mite will produce webbing though. Spider mites are so  small, they can be very difficult to see. However, one method you can use to confirm their presence is to take a sheet of white paper, place it beneath the plant you suspect to be infested and and lightly shake the stem of one of the leaves.  A certain number of the spider mites should fall onto the paper. They can be viewed more easily with a magnifying glass. Spider mites come in a variety of colors, including red, green, yellow and brown. They have eight legs and tend to move quite slowly. Be on the lookout for spider mites with spots on their backs - these are known as two-spotted spider mites and can be particularly hard to get rid of. There are some plants which spider mites seem to favor more than others.  In particular, pay attention to possible infestations on miniature roses, fruit trees, bananas, potted begonias, beans, mint, broad-leafed weeds, strawberries, frangipani and indoor houseplants. Be aware that the two-spotted spider mite has been known to infest over 100 different species of plant. These are the conditions where spider mites...

TL;DR in Russian:

Посмотрите на поверхность листьев. Проверьте растение на наличие белой паутины. Подтвердите наличие паутинных клещей. Будьте особенно бдительны с некоторыми видами растений. Будьте особенно внимательны в сухую и пыльную погоду.


If your point is especially complex or technical, it can be a good idea to prove your point in writing, as opposed to trying to talk it out or explain it in words. Complicated business proposals, technical project descriptions, schematics, and even complicated emotional talks can be more helpful to write out, so the other person can read it before you talk more directly and answer questions.   Write a memo for a business idea, or a new concept about how to do business. Whether you're proposing to your boss or to subordinates, writing it out will give your point more credence, and allow the other people to think through it on their own time. Write an outline for a complicated concept or point, to break it down and make it easier to understand. If you think you've just uncovered the philosophical thesis for your new black metal collective's aesthetic manifesto, you should probably write it out instead of trying to explain it. If you’re struggling in a relationship, consider writing out your complicated feelings in a letter. This will help you gather your own thoughts, and could provide a more smooth transition into a hard discussion. Sometimes it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words. If you can use an image, a photograph, or a video to make some point without speaking, you’ve made your job a lot easier. Using charts, graphs, and photos can be quick ways to present statistics, showing growth or decline, and letting the viewer come to their own conclusions about your point. It's hard to argue with a graph showing an employee's productivity dip. One common way of proving to alcoholics that they need to sober up is to record a particularly ugly example of their drunkenness, then play it back later. You shouldn't have to say anything. An excellent rhetorical technique can be to ask lots of questions that lead the other people in the conversation to come to the same conclusion that you've come to, essentially planting the idea in their head. Play Socrates and ask a series of probing questions that help to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Четко запишите несколько обоснующих фактов. Визуализируйте некоторые моменты. Позвольте вашим слушателям думать, что это у них родилась идея. Расскажите историю. Избегайте применения неуместных приемов.
