If there is no remainder, then your answer is a whole number rather than a mixed number, and you need not do anything further. Likely, though, you will have a remainder. Set this aside for now. The quotient you found when Dividing the numerator by the denominator will be the whole number of your mixed number. For example, 26÷9=2{\displaystyle 26\div 9=2} with a remainder of 8{\displaystyle 8}. Thus, the whole number of your mixed number will be 2. Place this numerator over the original denominator. This will give you the fraction of your mixed number.  For example, if your original denominator is 9{\displaystyle 9} and your remainder is 8{\displaystyle 8}, the fraction of your mixed number is 89{\displaystyle {\frac {8}{9}}}. This gives you the final answer to your original division problem.

TL;DR in Russian:

If there is only one eyepiece, you can skip this step. With a binocular eyepiece, turn the eyepieces to find the correct space between the eyes, or interpupillary distance. You should see a single circle of light when you look through both eyepieces.  If you see two images when you look through the eyepieces, you need to continue to adjust the distance. Move the eyepieces closer together or further apart until you see a single circle of light. Remove your glasses, if you wear them. You can use the microscope's settings to focus the object according to your sight. The diaphragm allows you to change the amount of light on the slide. To begin focusing on your specimen, you want to shine the maximum amount of light on the slide. There should be a lever or spinning disc that allows you to alter the diameter. Move the lever or spin the disc until the diaphragm is all the way open. You may have two or three different rotating objective lenses that you can switch into place to magnify the object. You should start with the 4x objective and increase until it is focused. Usually, the 4x (sometime 3.5x) objective is the standard for the lowest magnification on a basic microscope.  The low power objective gives you the widest view, and allows you to slowly bring the object into focus without missing it. It is often called the scanning objective for this reason. Starting at the high power objective may mean that you don't see the object or you don't see the full object. The two most common high power objectives are the 10x and 40x. The eyepiece has a 10x magnification that is multiplied by the magnification of the objective; therefore, the 4x objective gives you a total magnification of 40x (10 times 4). The 10x objective gives you a magnification of 100x and the 40x objective, a 400x magnification. Most slides are much larger than the specimen that is mounted on them. If you can see the specimen, try to position it directly in the middle of the light source. If you can’t see it, move the slide slowly around while looking...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если микроскоп снабжен бинокуляром, настройте его. Максимально раскройте диафрагму. Начните фокусироваться на объекте при наименьшем возможном увеличении. При необходимости сместите предметное стекло к центру предметного столика. Сфокусируйтесь на объекте с помощью винтов фокусировки и диафрагмы. Перейдите к большему увеличению. Храните микроскоп в чехле, который защитит его от пыли.


If there is poison on her coat, when the cat grooms herself she will swallow it and risk further toxicity. If the contaminant is a powder, brush it off. If it is sticky, such as tar or oil, you may need to use a specialist hand-cleansing product such as Swarfega Hand Cleaner (as used by motor mechanics) worked into the fur. Bathe the cat in lukewarm water for 10 minutes to remove all residue, and then rinse well with water. As a last resort, you may wish to cut off the worst affected hair with scissors or clippers. Better safe than sorry! Many poisons are harmful to liver, kidneys, or both. To reduce the risk of organ damage from poison already absorbed, ensure the cat drinks freely. If she will not drink spontaneously, then syringe water into her mouth. Slowly dribble it in one ml at a time and be sure to let her swallow. An average cat requires 250 ml of water a day, so don’t be afraid to refill that dosing syringe lots of times! Include all labels, packaging and bottles, so that all information can be relayed to a veterinarian or a Pet Poison Control Hotline. Your efforts may help future cat owners (and cats!) in similar predicaments. Your cat needs to be checked out by a vet to make sure that it's okay. The vet can make sure that you got all of the poison, and that there are no long-term issues to be concerned about.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте, не испачкана ли шерсть кошки ядовитым веществом. Заставьте кошку пить воду. Соберите образец потенциального источника отравления. Покажите кошку ветеринару.


If there is room in the cage you can put a small litter box, but this is not vitally necessary. The same is true of food and water. Never make your cat stay in its carrier for longer than eight hours without providing it with food, water and a chance to use the litter box. You want the cat to voluntarily get comfortable going into it. Do not force your cat into the cage if it doesn’t go in at this stage. You may want to place a towel or blanket over the carrier when carrying it to the car to block its view of the “scary” outside. Remove it when you place the carrier in the car. The carrier should be placed in a secure spot in the car, preferably strapped in place with a seat belt. If the seat belt won’t work, you can use bungee cords or small lengths of rope to secure the carrier in the car in case of sudden stops or an accident. Car rides are stressful for cats regardless if they like them or not. Having a harness and a leash on the cat whenever it is out of the carrier (even in the car) gives you something to grab in case the cat decides to bolt from an open window or door. Your cat won't want to go all day in its carrier. This is where the harness and leash come in. Snap the leash on and allow your cat to come out into the car for twenty or so minutes. Offering a chance in the litterbox isn't a bad idea, either, but don't be surprised if your cat turns its nose up at the idea. If you go out, put your cat in its carrier and the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on your door, in case the maid should come by. If you're going to be out for the day, put the cat in the bathroom with its things and shut the door (if possible). Then leave a note on the door stating your cat is currently in there and to please be careful not to let it out.

TL;DR in Russian:

Накормите кошку за несколько часов до отъезда и предоставьте ей свободный доступ к туалетному лотку. Оставьте дверцу переноски открытой, чтобы у кошки был шанс самостоятельно ее исследовать. Посадите кошку в клетку-переноску и отнесите ее в машину. Помещая кошку в переноску, не забудьте надеть на нее шлейку. Во время поездки позволяйте кошке периодически разминать лапы. Где бы вы ни останавливались на ночлег с кошкой, обрабатывайте помещение спреем "Феливей" (или пользуйтесь этим же средством в виде диффузора), прежде чем запускать туда кошку.


If there is urine or feces in your colostomy bag, it is important to empty these prior to changing the bag. The best place to do this is in the bathroom. Open the bottom of the bag over the toilet. For feces, you can gently squeeze it out of the bag; urine will automatically flow from the bag when it is opened. Alternatively, some colostomy bags have liners and flanges that are designed to be flushed down the toilet. If the bag you are using has a biodegradable flange and inner liner, place them in the bowl and flush. The outer layer remains clean. It can be placed in a purse or pocket until you can dispose of it. If this is not possible, use antibacterial hand sanitizer instead. Place a clean bath towel on your lap and stuff the top of it into your pants to protect your clothing. Proper hygiene is important when changing your colostomy bag. Holding your skin with one hand, slowly ease the pouch off using the built in tab for easier removal. If necessary, carefully use an adhesive remover to remove the flange. The skin may be a little pink or red. However, if it is black, purple, or blue, or looks concerning to you, see a medical professional for advice. Also check your stoma in general — stoma should always be beefy red in color, never dusky. If it is changing in size, going further into or out of your skin,  leaking pus or blood, or looks pale or bluish, contact your doctor immediately. Using warm water and a dry wipe with mild soap on it, gently wipe around the stoma. Do not rub. Only use soaps that do not contain any oils or fragrances. Use a dry wipe to pat the skin dry.  If necessary, use a measuring card device (given to your by your doctor or nurse) to measure the size of your stoma. You will need to know its size, if you don't already, before attaching a new colostomy bag.  Also be sure to wash your hands one more time before putting on the new pouch. This will ensure optimum sanitization of the new pouch, as you will not want any contamination with old fecal matter. This is optional; however, many...

If there were some conditions to get your account, make sure you do what you say you would. Keep your account private, don't change the password if you share it with them, and don't post explicit or offensive photos. This is especially important if your parents were hesitant to let you on in the first place. Show them that you deserve the responsibility and can handle it maturely. If they want to know what kinds of accounts you follow, be open and let them know. Even if you've done nothing wrong, being defensive or secretive can lead them to the wrong conclusions, which may end in you losing your Instagram account. This lets them feel included and validates their decision to let you on the site. There are a lot of simple, easy ways to do this that don't have to involve allowing them onto your account:  Show them pictures you've taken. Ask them to help pick a filter every now and then. Take a "family selfie" with them on vacation or at a cool location. If you've shown that you can be responsible with an account for 3-6 months, politely let you parents know that you are making your account public to gain more followers. If your parents find out about these changes before you tell them, they may feel like their trust has been violated and will overreact, potentially cutting your account. Instagram is an extension of your social life, not your entire life, so don't give your parents the impression that all you do is look at your phone. This is not only important for them, but for you. After all, it is hard to take great photos if you are looking at a screen all day. Effective Instagram accounts post 1-3 pictures a day, not 100.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выполняйте все обещания. Отвечайте на вопросы. Позвольте им почувствовать себя причастными. Сообщайте об изменениях в своей учетной записи. Не превращайте Instagram в центр своей жизни.


If there's a hip hop club in your area, you'll have to sign up.  Tell him/them you will sign everyone up. Make sure that you do not tell him what you are going to say in your rap routine! It's an improvisation anyway. Odds are you'll only be able to prepare in theory.  You can do it wherever you'd like, so long as you're not disturbing the peace. Right after school gets dismissed in the parking lot is a great idea if you want your battle to wind up on lots of cell phones or on YouTube. You may want to have your first couple of rap battles in the privacy of your own home. There's no shame in warming up. None of your peers have to know that you guys have been rehearsing for this moment. The only things you'll need are two people, a judge, and possibly some microphones or a quiet enough area. Decide a point system, such as best of three. Set a time limit for each round and a set number of rounds. What's more, decide who has to go first. It can be the loser of the previous week or find an unbiased way, like coin flipping. Going first isn't all bad. You get to cover your bases. If you know your pants are too baggy and your grades in math aren't exactly stellar, talk about it. That way your opponent won't be able to attack you as easily. If that's not an option, find a loop to play in the background. Take turns rapping insults at each other and generally showing off your creative, improv skills. Make it a rule that the judge will then name the winner of each round based on quality of insult and rap skill. Whoever gets the most points, wins. What's the prize? Apart from ultimate respect, of course.

TL;DR in Russian:

Основательно подготовьтесь перед состязанием со своими друзьями. Если вы хотите померяться силами с кем-то из своих друзей, то имейте ввиду, что для оценки вашего выступления понадобятся судьи, свободное место и несколько хороших микрофонов. Битбоксер в качестве бэкграунда – отличный выбор.


If there's a positive activity that your teen enjoys doing, support them 100 percent. Purchase a new sketchbook if they like drawing. Attend events to watch them play the drums. Praise and support them whenever they are trying to do good.  This might sound like, "You seem to really enjoy drawing. How about we go to the store together and pick out a sketchpad for you to work in?" Think about it: the more time your teen spends doing constructive activities, the less time they have for destructive ones. Make it mandatory across the board that all kids in your family get involved in the school or local community. This might include participating in a band, a sport, or a club. They may also volunteer for a cause they care about.  You can leave it up to your teen to decide which activity they want to participate in, but just make sure it's clear that they have to engage in something. Participation in extracurricular activities helps your teen form positive relationships with peers and reduces the time they have to engage in delinquent activities. Does your teen seem to favor a particular teacher, coach, or community role model? If so, ask this adult if they'd act as a mentor to your teen. This provides the teen with multiple sources of support and others to talk to about what they're going through. Have a talk with this role model beforehand. Be sure the person shares your values and won't act as a negative influence. Completing chores that are more demanding than those you’d give younger kids, tackling a big project around the house, or working a part-time job can all help your teen build character and a sense of responsibility. Think about things they enjoy doing and use that as a starting place.  For instance, if your teen likes children, you might allow them to take on babysitting jobs after school and on weekends. If they are really interested in working on cars, you might sign them up for a mechanics class at a nearby vocational school. Then, set the expectation that they will only be able to attend if they...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поощряйте полезные увлечения. Требуйте участия в, как минимум, одной внеклассной деятельности. Сведите его с образцом для подражания, который окажет подростку поддержку. Дайте подростку возможность проявить ответственность.


If there's a sport or hobby you've always wanted to be good at, now's the time! Improving your skills will reinforce that you are talented, and subsequently boost your confidence. Learn a musical instrument or a foreign language, take up an art form like painting, start building projects—whatever it is that catches your interest.  Don't get discouraged if you're not immediately awesome. Remember that learning is a process, and you're in it for the small victories and the relaxing recreation time, not to be the best ever. Take up a hobby you can do with a group. Finding like-minded people who share your interests can be an easy way to make friends and build confidence. Look around your community for groups you can join, or find kinship with fellow hobbyists. Straight up, confidence is more than just a state of mind -- it's habit. That's all humans really are. So in order to be confident, you've gotta do confident things. One of those is making conversation with strangers. It's intimidating at first, but with each time you'll be more and more unfazed.  No, that won't creep strangers out unless you're a smelly, aggressive Quasimodo-looking KKK member. If someone says, "Hey!", smiles at you, and asks you whether they should go to Starbucks or Coffee Bean, how are you going to feel? Probably good. Everybody likes to be the hero, talk to other people, and be spontaneous. You're just brightening up their otherwise dull day. You don't have opportunities, huh? How about the barista at your coffee shop? The girl at the check-out counter of your grocery store? Random strangers you pass on the street? Being able to say you're sorry is a good trait (and something too many people struggle with). However, be careful to say it only when necessary. Apologizing when you've slighted or inconvenienced someone is polite; apologizing when you haven't done anything wrong, though, can make you feel subordinate and like you should be sorry. Before it slips out of your mouth, take a second to make sure this is a situation that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Занимайтесь тем, что вам интересно. Разговаривайте с незнакомыми людьми. Не приносите извинения чаще, чем того требуют обстоятельства. Принимайте комплименты с благодарностью. Укрепляйте уверенность в себе, помогая другим. Откажитесь от общения с людьми, которые вас расстраивают Не торопитесь. Ждите успеха. Рискуйте.


If there's any residue left over, add dish soap to the pan before submerging the residue with water. Place the pan on the stove and turn the burner on high. Let the pan boil for 5 minutes, then pour out the hot water. The rest of the residue should scrub right off! Once you wash your pan with soap and water, it's no longer seasoned. To make sure it continues to be a perfect, non-stick pan, repeat the seasoning process!

If there's no question that your guy friend is suddenly getting butterflies in his stomach every time he sees you, it's time to let him know you don't feel the same way before things get out of control. But if you want to deliver the news in the best way possible, you have to pick the right time and place so he's comfortable and receptive, although you don't want it to seem like a date.  Pick a place that is not romantic. If you tell him the news at a nice restaurant, or while the sun is setting on the beach, he'll be thrown off guard. Tell him at a place where you would never go on a date. Tell him in the morning or during the day. The nighttime is more romantic. Pick a place where you'll be relatively alone and away from his friends. You don't want him to be embarrassed if other people hear you deliver the bad news. Pick a time when he's not likely to be busy or stressed-out. Don't tell him the night before a big exam, or when he has an incredibly busy day at work. Don't dawdle. Once you know he likes you, don't wait too long for the perfect moment to say something. The longer he doesn't know how you feel, the more hurt he'll be. If you want to tell him in the most effective way possible, then you should prepare what you'll say in advance. If you don't know exactly how you'll explain that you don't like him romantically, you'll be much more likely to make things more awkward or to get caught in a web of excuses that make everything worse.  Prepare to keep it simple. You won't have to go into all of the reasons why you only like him as a friend. Practice your tone. Say everything you plan on saying aloud so you feel more comfortable when the time comes. Before you tell him, you should predict how he'll react. Will he be shocked into silence, or hurt? If the guy is your friend, you should have some inkling of how he'll react, so you should prepare to react accordingly.  If he's a shy and sensitive guy, then he may not have much to say afterwards. Think of a few reassuring words you can say, or even a few...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите правильное время и место. Продумайте, что вы скажете. Предугадайте его реакцию.


If there's nothing in your disc tray, you can insert the game into the disc drive to load it. Inserting the disc will open the game's channel, allowing you to start it by pressing the button on your screen.  Make sure that you insert the disc the correct direction, with the label facing up. You can also download games from the Wii store and they will show up as channels in your Channel menu. Depending on the game, you may be asked to swing your controller around to play the game. Make sure you have plenty of room to move, and that you won't bump into anyone or anything. . If you want to play a GameCube game in an RVL-001 Wii, you will need to use a GameCube controller, and plug it into one of the ports on the top (vertical) or left side (horizontal) of the Wii. You will need to open a flap to access the ports. You'll insert the GameCube game like you would a regular Wii game. Although the discs are smaller, they can be inserted into any part of the disc loader.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вставьте диск с нужной игрой в консоль. Используйте контроллер. Играйте в игры GameCube


If there's one thing about the American Dream that almost everyone can agree on, it's that it requires hard work to achieve. A 2012 Public Agenda poll found that almost 90% of respondents agreed that a strong work ethic is an "absolutely essential" part of the Dream. Whether you're aiming to climb from humble beginnings to a comfortable middle-class life, ascend from the middle-class to the upper-class, or even climb from the very bottom to the highest echelons of society, you'll need a powerful personal drive to succeed. Getting ahead in life means what it sounds like — working hard so that you "pull ahead" of others who would rather put in only an ordinary level of effort. For starters, you may want to try working harder and longer than other people at your job. If most employees usually leave as soon they get the chance, offer to stay late. If others slack during their down time, find extra tasks to do. Working harder than other people around you is an excellent way to get noticed at work and eventual reap the rewards of promotion and raises. While hard work is a must for achieving the American Dream, working hard without working effectively will get you nowhere. In America, it's much better to be recognized for being exceptionally efficient and productive, rather than being content to spend lots of effort at tasks that can be accomplished more easily other ways. Always be striving to improve your personal efficiency, especially at work — ask yourself, "How can I do my job quicker?", "How can I do it more simply?", "How can I do it with less effort?", and so on. Below are just a few productivity-boosting tips to get you started:  If you work a job at a computer, write a script (or have an experienced friend do so for you) to accomplish your most frequent, menial tasks. If you're swamped with work, try to delegate some to others. If you own a business, hire a third-party agency to handle tasks that are becoming too time-consuming (like accounting, payroll, etc.). Find creative workarounds to common...

TL;DR in Russian:

If there's one thing twee people do above all else, it's wear their heart on their sleeve. If twee people are happy, they let the world know by wearing a grin and putting a pep in their step. If twee people are sad, they listen to nostalgic mixtapes, cry, drink tea, and go on solemn walks. "Twee" is practically synonymous with being open-hearted, so don't be afraid to show the world the way you feel! Being open-hearted also means being sensitive to the way others make you feel. Twee people's emotions are strongly affected by their relationships with their friends, their families, and especially their significant others. Romance is the source of great joy and heartbreak for twee people, who tend to invest their emotions heavily in their relationships. When most people hear the word "twee", they associate it with a sort of extreme, even affected (but not insincere) sweetness. In fact, "sweet" is even one of the words used to describe "twee" in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Twee people should aim to be polite, humble, and invested in their interactions with others. In addition, twee people should be conscious of other people's feelings and should hold others' feelings in high importance. Twee people are quick to fall in love and are firm believers in love at first sight. The twee-est may harbor innocent, semi-childish crushes for people before they even speak to them for the first time. Twee romance plays out like a high-school fantasy: boy meets girl, boy and girl share an instant connection, boy shows his affection in a cute and modest but memorable way, girl reciprocates, and so on. For twee people, there's no age too old for holding hands at the park, so don't be afraid to be as bashful as a teenager the next time you ask someone out. Twee people also (stereotypically) tend to be attracted to certain types of people (although, on the other hand, harmless defiance of convention is very twee). As a reference, think of the romantic leads in twee movies, like Zoey Deschanel's Summer Finn in 500 Days of Summer...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте открыты сердцем. Будьте милыми. С легкостью теряйте голову. Наслаждайтесь простыми радостями. Отклонить "серьезности" взрослой жизни.


If there's only one thing you do to improve yourself, make it this. When people genuinely value and respect themselves, it's obvious to everyone around them. These people may not all be bubbly and effervescent, but they all exude a sense of self-worth and confidence that makes it obvious that they don't consider themselves losers. Start by thinking of all of the good, valuable things about yourself — things you're good at, ways you enjoy yourself, and so on. Knowing that you have your own unique strengths and talents makes it so much easier to love yourself and so much harder to pay any attention to people who may try to put you down. If you're feeling down and you're having trouble finding value in yourself, try the following exercise. Take a piece of paper and draw a vertical line down the middle. At the top of one side, write "pros", and at the top of the other, write "cons". Begin to write your positive and negative attributes in the appropriate columns. For each "con" you write, try to write two "pros". When you've filled your "pros" column, stop and review what you've written down. Your positive qualities should dwarf your negative ones. People who spend time doing what they love have an easier time loving themselves. The fun and self-satisfaction you get from indulging your hobbies and interests is great for building confidence and increasing your sense of self-worth.  If you're not already doing so, try to spend a little time every day or week doing something positive and fun that you love. If you can do your hobbies with other people, even better — your friends can take the entertainment level of your hobbies from "fun" to "let's do this again as soon as we can".  This advice is especially true if your work or school situation isn't ideal. It can be tricky to find a new job that you love or get a new group of friends at school, but it's not very hard, for instance, to spend a little time practicing piano every evening if you love music. Try to tend towards skill-based activities that you can improve...

TL;DR in Russian:

Цените себя. Уделяйте время своим хобби и интересам. Будьте активны физически. Проявляйте старание на работе или в учебе. Будьте социально ответственны. Стройте планы на будущее. Окружайте себя хорошими людьми. Не слушайте своих ненавистников.


If there's potential to rock out, think like a Boy Scout. You may not be able to rock out as hard in flannel and suspenders ("braces" for you British folks with your eyebrows all a-flutter). Think ahead. How much rocking are you capable of?  Jeans and a t-shirt is always classic for either sex. Is this a party where you can gallivant discalced? Or will you be keeping your shoes on? Consider this when choosing your footwear. Ladies, get ready to move. The last thing you want is to interrupt your metal horns to adjust your hemline. Wear something comfortable. If they're not already being cranked. But let's face it, you shouldn't be the one to have to get the party started. What kind of party are you even at? Your own? Ah, alright. Proceed.  Find music that gets everybody going. In this circumstance, rocking out is a community bonding session. You'll feed off their energy and they will feed off yours. As a result, a beautiful thing will become nascent. Take time to feel the vibes and let it brew. Don't crank the jams too loudly. The police hate that. Sting loves it, however. By this time, the party-goers should be in a distinctive yet morphing shape. Get in there! Show them your stuff.  Use your body. Don't be afraid to get on your knees or pop a handstand (you've been practicing after all, right?). Just make sure the area is clear before you risk popping someone's eye out. Then the fun and games just stop. Jump up and down. And then up and down again. And possibly a few times after that. If no one else is jumping, start it. They'll wonder why they aren't jumping with you. And hey, calf workout! Rocking out can be a great release and is sometimes necessary, but it also can be incredibly dangerous or, at worst, fatal. Drinking and driving, smoking, and other illicit drugs get all the hype--think of rocking out like the Korean War (when was that again?). Just because it doesn't receive the appropriate anti-marketing campaign doesn't mean you should rock out carelessly.  Watch your elbows. Those things can be...

If there's something you want to learn and would benefit from an instructor or routine, sign up for an online course. Sites like https://www.edx.org/  and https://www.thegreatcourses.com/ have excellent college level classes available to anyone and most of them are free.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы предпочитаете более структурированный подход, запишитесь на онлайн-курсы.


If there’s a conversation, meeting, or exclusive event to which you have not been invited, it’s best not to interrupt or intervene. Stay away or walk away. While being excluded can feel hurtful, it’s important to recognize that there may be good reasons why something is not your business. It’s tempting to weigh in when you see something that doesn’t mesh with your own daily practices or lifestyle choices. However, doing so implies that you know better. People are not likely to take kindly to your intervention unless they’re explicitly seeking it.  If you find yourself wanting to confer nuggets of wisdom, remind yourself that everyone is entitled to make their own choices and that the way they choose to live their life does not affect you. Part of this is respecting others’ choices and space. If you’re at another person’s house, don’t assume that they should live as you do. Let them practice their habits and norms without intervention. It’s natural to make judgements, so it’s important to be aware of and curb the downsides of that instinct. When it comes to minding your business, avoiding snap judgements means foregoing the assumption that you fully understand a situation. Give everyone involved the benefit of the doubt until you do. Minding your business does not mean that you should not offer love and support to others. It simply means that you should not assume to the role of fixer for their problems, which usually only complicates a matter instead of solving it. For instance, if your brother is getting a divorce, it’s not wise to try and play marriage counselor. However, offering him your comfort and company or taking care of his kids from time to time will help him out without contributing to the stress or drama of the situation.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не лезьте не в свое дело. Не давайте непрошеных советов. Не судите других. Поддерживайте других, не вмешиваясь.


If there’s a giant blob of slime on your carpet, you should remove as much of it as possible. Scoop the excess away with a spoon or scrape it off with a knife, working from the outside to the center. Using your vacuum can help remove the slime so you can get to the stain. Vacuum the area in several directions to suck up as much of the dried slime as possible. You can use an upright vacuum or a handheld variety. Be sure the slime is dry before vacuuming so you don’t clog up the vacuum. Vinegar, rubbing alcohol, goo remover, citrus solvent, and WD-40 can all be used to remove slime and stains from carpet. Choose whatever you have on hand, or pick up the product of your choice from your local hardware store or superstore. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the chemicals and the dye in the slime. Be sure to test the solution on an inconspicuous spot before treating the stain.

TL;DR in Russian:

Счистите остатки лизуна. Пропылесосьте ковер. Выберите чистящее средство. Наденьте перчатки и проверьте действие очистителя.


If there’s one specific faction you want to play, wipe out that faction in the campaign by killing every one of its family member (generals). If this is your number one priority, try making a large number of assassins and send them to kill the family members directly. This is not always a great strategy for winning, but it will unlock the faction more quickly than defeating it on the battlefield. Without the hack described in the section below, you can only unlock The Greek Cities, Egypt, the Seleucid Empire, Carthage, Gaul, Germania, Britannia, and Parthia. Once you beat a campaign as any faction, all remaining playable factions are unlocked. Choose the short campaign to achieve this sooner. Of the three starting factions, the Julii are probably the easiest to win with. Certain factions are not intended to be playable, typically the smaller, less powerful ones. If you're up for the challenge, use one of the methods below to unlock these. In the Barbarian Invasion expansion, all playable factions start out unlocked. Use the hack method below to make the remaining factions playable.

TL;DR in Russian:

Победите фракцию в кампании. Завершите кампанию, чтобы разблокировать все фракции. Используйте хаки для всех остальных фракций.


If these commercial products still don’t give you the desired results, you can get even tougher products from your local hardware store. Be careful though, and be sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions since these will be very powerful products.

TL;DR in Russian:

Попросите продавца посоветовать вам необходимое средство.


If these mirrors are fixtures that you can't get rid of, then drape some fabric over them. Left exposed, they are thought to disturb your sleep. In general, you should avoid having mirrors in your bedroom, especially if you're sharing it with a romantic partner, because they may open up a space for infidelity. Mirrors are also too energetic for such a restful space. If you like having a mirror in your room, place it on the inside of a closet door and only access it when you need it. A beam may create feelings of pressure that can disrupt your sleep. If you have no other options, cover the beam with fabric or hang 2 bamboo flutes from the beam with the mouthpieces pointed downward. This will help block some of the unwanted energy coming from above the bed. The idea is that you don't want to feel threatened in your sleep. Also, don't hang up pictures of water or place an aquarium in your room. These could invite possible financial loss or robbery. Keep your fish tank or paintings of water or rivers out of the bedroom if you want to have the best possible Feng Shui. If you are a fan of fountains and water art, place them in a bathroom instead. Plants are thought to possess too much yang, which creates too much energy and activity for you to get the rest that you need. If you have no other place to put your plants, try to keep them out of your line of vision when you're on the bed. The Chi can't circulate, which means possible disturbances in your intimate life. If your bed is up against a wall, then one partner will have to sleep on the inside, becoming literally "trapped" in the relationship. Keep your bed relatively clutter-free as well, such as by limiting throw pillows and blankets. Television creates an unhealthy magnetic field which may disrupt your sleep, strain your relationship with your partner or bring a third party into the bedroom. If you have to keep it in the bedroom, then try to cover it with a scarf when you're not using it. If you're really serious about it, hide the TV in the closet when...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не размещайте зеркало или шкаф с зеркальными дверцами напротив кровати. Не располагайте кровать непосредственно под балкой. Не размещайте в спальне фонтаны и емкости с водой. Не размещайте в спальне растения и цветы. Не заполняйте пространство вокруг кровати ненужными вещами и не ставьте кровать одной стороной к стене. Избавьтесь от телевизора. Не держите книги в спальне.


If these precautions don't work for any reason, the lion may charge. If this happens, remain standing. The lion will likely go for your face and throat. This means that it will jump and you'll have a full view of the giant cat. While this sounds terrifying, it will help to have a good view of the animal. If you were to crouch down, you would have much less of a chance to fight back if it attacked you at this angle. When the cat jumps at you, fight back. Punch or kick the lion as it leaps at you. Aim for the head and eyes as you continue to fight the predator off. The cat is likely to be much stronger than you but using hitting it in the head and eyes will have a great impact and could turn the lion off of you. Lion attacks have been fought off by humans before. The humans that were attacked and fought off the cats were able to seek immediate medical help. Especially if the lion was able to get its jaw on you and bite you, you need to stop the bleeding. Tend immediately to any deep gashes from its teeth or claws. Even if the attack was a mock attack, it may be a good idea to seek professional psychological help about it. Getting past such a traumatic experience is no easy feat. It's a very rare situation to have been positioned in. Seeking help with aid you in moving on soon.

TL;DR in Russian:

Продолжайте стоять. Цельтесь в морду. Немедленно обратитесь за помощью. Обратитесь за психологической помощью.


If they are behaving generally rational, your ex’s advances are fueled by contact with you. Don’t give fuel to the fire. Try to avoid them whenever possible. This may be difficult if you work together or socialize in the same circles. Nonetheless, the more you can break off contact with them, the easier it should be to gradually come to terms with the break up. Take note if your ex intensifies their attempts see you after you break off contact. This irrational behavior may be a sign of criminal harassment or even psychosis. If they become more desperate or abusive, contact the police immediately. It is important that you have a support network in times like these. Keeping others aware of your ex’s behavior will also serve as an impartial judge of whether they cross the line. Have them check in with you regularly to make sure you are okay and the pestering hasn’t intensified to abusive harassment. If they leave you messages/texts that make your blood boil, take a moment before doing anything. It is probably best not to respond at all, and let their feelings for you suffocate. Alternately, you may think that will only make them more determined to getting in touch with you. If so, keep your comments and responses as positive, respectful and brief as possible. Communicate to them that you respect them, but no longer wish to have a romantic relationship. If they won't stop texting you, try a quick message like, "I still respect you, but I don't want to date you. Please stop sending these texts." Until this blows over, you may want to avoid seeing their correspondence. Most email clients make it easy to filter out unwanted messages. However, if you don’t even want to be confronted with the possibility of opening their email, you might create a new temporary email account. Share the address only with those you need to contact, and tell them why. Making sure your ex doesn’t find out this email address will create a safe space for you. For a step-by-step guide to creating an email filter, see this. Their phone calls...

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте его. Расскажите об этом друзьям и членам семьи. Не реагируйте на его попытки с вами связаться. Создайте новый аккаунт или фильтр для электронной почты. Заблокируйте его номер телефона. Смените круг общения. Общайтесь кратко.


If they are dealing with a situation where another person can actually do something, such as many interpersonal situations or overwhelming work problems, offer to help them. They will likely refuse, but it's important to follow through if you do offer. Of course, if you know you would be terrible at helping them, don't offer your own help but you can offer to help them find someone else who can help. As they navigate the difficult situation that they're in, continue to support them as much as you can. This can be as basic as being their cheerleader or it might mean something like covering their shift at work if they need to leave to deal with the situation. Knowing that you still have their back can make a world of difference. Do a little research on the problem that they're having and send them helpful links. You can even buy them a book, if you find one that covers their problem. This is a great way to give someone the tools they need to solve their own problems. If they don't offer any follow up information or updates, you should ask them (unless they clearly don't want to talk about it). This will let them see that you really do care about them and that you really are invested in seeing their problem solved.

TL;DR in Russian:

Предоставьте им помощь, если это нужно. Продолжайте поддерживать. Найдите некоторые вспомогательные материалы. Следите за этим вопросом.


If they are handled from birth, they will be tame and docile. If they have no positive physical contact with people until they are full-grown, they will likely not adjust well to being handled unless they are given extensive training. Chinchillas are usually very friendly but shouldn't be over-handled. Make sure your chinchilla does not bark as you go to pick it up. If it does, don't pick it up. This is one of their ways of telling you to back off. Chinchillas have other defenses as well, such as losing fur, biting, and spraying urine. If your chinchilla is doing any of these things, you may be handling it too much. Lift your pet like you would for a rabbit. Slide your hand under the chinchilla's belly and place your other hand on top of the chinchilla. Use the hand under the chinchilla to support its hind legs and bum so it feels secure. Don't hold the chinchilla too tightly, but do remember that they can be squirmy, so you need to hold them firmly.  It is very important that you don't squeeze, especially around the upper torso. Chinchillas have what is known as a "floating ribcage" and you can cause severe internal injuries to it by squeezing that area. Make sure to be gentle with them to avoid scaring them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начинайте еженедельно брать шиншиллу на руки еще в раннем возрасте. Научитесь понимать сигналы шиншиллы относительно того, хочет ли она пойти на руки. Научитесь правильно брать шиншиллу на руки.


If they can communicate the thing that is bothering them, they are less likely to build up stress or resort to bad behavior. Your child needs to know how to say or communicate the following:   "I'm hungry." "I'm tired." "I need a break, please." "That hurts." Many autistic children have trouble understanding their feelings, and it may be helpful for them to point to pictures or learn the physical symptoms that accompany feelings. Explain that telling people how they feel (such as "The grocery store makes me scared") allows people to help fix problems (such as "You can wait outside with your big sister while I finish shopping").  Make it clear that if they communicate, you will listen to them. This eliminates the need for a tantrum. The meltdown-prone child will need a calm, stable parental figure as well as consistency from all those involved with their care. You will not be able to address your child’s self-control until you have control of yourself first. This is called "presuming competence" and it greatly improves autistic people's social skills. Autistic people are much more likely to open up if they feel that they will be respected. If an autistic child is not ready for speech, there are other ways to have him communicate with you. Try sign language, typing, picture exchange systems, or whatever a therapist recommends.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помогите ребенку выражать свои потребности. Научите ребенка определять свои эмоции. Сохраняйте спокойствие и действуйте последовательно. Считайте, что ребенок хочет вести себя хорошо. Попробуйте альтернативные способы общения.


If they contact you several times a week, is it really just to catch up or because they still pine for you? Making excuses to see you signifies lingering feelings, so be aware that the friendship might not be healthy.  You might have told your ex that you would go to an art exhibit or hit up an antique store sometime. If your ex presses you to get together daily, watch out! If your ex constantly wants to come over to do something that is not urgent, like teach you a new Photoshop trick or help you pick out new curtains, she or he just might want physical contact. Be able to tell the difference between excuses and actual urgency, though. If they mention feeling despondent, don’t shrug it off. You might find things that the ex does more annoying than when other friends do them. We notice little things and take people’s words more personally when we have romantic feelings for someone. If these things occur, you might have to back away from the friendship.  When true friends cancel plans because they feel ill, you believe them. However, if you doubt that your ex is sincere when doing the same thing, that signals a trust issue. If you overreact when the ex gives you an honest answer when you ask about one of your flaws, it might mean that the friendship is lacks a solid foundation. Everyone has little things that drive them crazy, like people who chew with their mouths open, but if every tiny thing that your ex does drives you crazy, back away before you start being mean. Be sure that you don’t think about this person more than you think about other friends. If you are truly just friends, you can go a weeks without thinking about the other person. Lingering thoughts about your ex might mean that you’re not ready to be just friends.  Check yourself if you constantly wonder if your ex “friend” is dating anyone yet. If you often wish that you could get together but don’t want to ask because you two went to a movie just last week, that's not a good sign. Daydreaming about kissing or sleeping with your ex is not okay!...

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за тем, как часто бывший партнер предлагает вам встретиться. Проанализируйте свою реакцию. Проанализируйте свои мысли. Закончите дружбу, если все к этому идет.


If they don't answer, call back once. If they still don't answer, leave a message asking them to call you back and give a brief explanation of why you’re calling. Unless you’re in an emergency, resist the temptation to call anyone repeatedly in the hopes your call will be answered. This can be irritating and can be considered rude. If you’re leaving a voice message, keep your message brief and be sure to speak slowly, state your name and your phone number. If you’re calling a number that they share with others (such as a landline number), be sure to state whom you wish to speak to. Speak clearly and calmly. This is especially important if the person you’re calling is an acquaintance or someone you know professionally. It’s possible that your mutual friend knows if your friend is avoiding your calls or if they're busy with another activity and is unable to attend calls at the moment. Your mutual friend might also be able to give you any indication of whether or not your calls are being avoided. If your call is not answered, have someone else call that person immediately after you do. If their call is answered but yours isn’t, it’s possible that your friend is avoiding your calls.  If you’re close to your mutual friend, explain the situation to them. If their call is attended, they might weave into conversation that you were both trying to call and your call was not answered. Make sure you pick a friend who is socially intelligent: pick someone who gets along well with others and whom you’ve seen successfully navigate tricky social situations such as making peace between two friends. A socially intelligent friend will be better able to assess the situation and give you advice. It’s possible that your friend has lost their phone or prefers text messages over phone conversations. If you’re close to them, you’ll have an idea of which mode of communication they prefer. Try a social media platform that they frequently use. Is this a really close friendship or a family member or someone whom you want a smooth...

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвоните с другого номера. Спросите у вашего общего друга, общался ли он в последнее время с тем, кому вы пытаетесь дозвониться. Попросите кого-нибудь еще позвонить вашему другу. Попробуйте завязать общение в другой форме. Оцените ваши отношения. Начните себя по-другому вести. Поговорите с ним лично.


If they don't feel the same way, it's not the end of the world. You should feel proud that you had enough confidence to share your true feelings, and that you got the answers you were looking for, even if you didn't end up getting what you wanted. If your crush doesn't feel the same way, just say, "Cool, no problem," or "Thanks for listening to me anyway." Be polite and kind as you say goodbye -- don't make your crush feel worse by saying, "I knew this would happen," or "No one ever likes me back." Remember that having the confidence to tell your crush how you feel will make you feel confident in your future relationships and choices. If your crush doesn't share your feelings, that's okay. If you are friends, then maybe you should take it easy for a while, but that doesn't mean you should run away or avoid them the next time you see them. Keep doing what you always do, and act happy to see your crush the next time you cross paths. Remember that your crush can't help how they feel, and just play it cool. If your crush returns your feelings, then you should enjoy your feelings of giddiness and excitement. Be proud of yourself for sharing how you feel, and have fun hanging out with your crush or even dating them. You can take things slow and decide what you want to do next. Your crush will be impressed by your boldness and honesty, and will want to hang out with you as soon as possible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не расстраивайтесь, если ваш избранник не разделяет ваши чувства. Не бойтесь встретить своего избранника, если вы знаете, что не нравитесь ему. Ликуйте, если вы ему тоже нравитесь.


If they need more sex, then open your mind to the possibilities. If they need time with friends or time to pursue a hobby, then don't be possessive. They'll be happier, and they'll be grateful to you for your respect. You should meet their needs, or at least some of them, without doing anything that feels uncomfortable to you.  If they wants more sex, then consider having more sex with them, or think about why it doesn't appeal to you. But do not force yourself to do something you're not comfortable with just for their benefit. Instead, talk to them about it so they understand how you're feeling, and together you can decide on something you're both comfortable with. If he's missing his time out with the boys, let him have a boy's night and have a girl's night of your own. If they want time to pursue their hobbies, let them take the time. They'll grow as a person from doing their own thing, and this will benefit your relationship. Develop true intimacy and unconditional acceptance. Demonstrate a willingness to be vulnerable, and be confident that your relationship can withstand conflict. Enjoy your shared history and your inside jokes. Forward them articles you know that they'll find interesting or just sit with them in companionable silence. Even your silence will say volumes when your marriage is strengthened by true friendship.  Though you should maintain other meaningful friendships so your life is full of love and laughter, at the end of the day, your spouse should be the person that you turn to. Aim to be the person that your spouse has the most fun with instead of their best friend or their favorite uncle. You should be their #1 go-to person, whether they need a good laugh or a good cry. Never lose sight of the dreams that you share. Whether your dreams include retiring to a warm climate or taking a trip abroad for your twentieth anniversary, embrace your dreams, talk about them and take steps to make them happen. If you and your spouse's dreams don't intersect, then you'll be creating a rift as you...

TL;DR in Russian:

Удовлетворяйте потребности своего мужа без ущерба ваших интересов. Станьте лучшим другом для вашего мужа. Создавайте общие мечты. Не забывайте о своей индивидуальности. Справляйтесь со стрессами вместе.


If they take you into a room without sufficient lighting, question it. They should be able to see what they are piercing. Also, watch them wash their hands and put on sterile gloves. If they already have gloves on, you are completely justified in asking them to re-wash their hands and replace the gloves with new ones. While you’re getting your nose pierced, try to stay as still as possible for your piercer. It is a small pinch just like any other piercing, and you’ll only feel it for a second. Titanium and surgical steel are good substitutes, but most piercers include the price of a surgical steel piece of jewellery in the price of the piercing. If you ask for gold, titanium, and niobium (niobium is the material least likely to irritate your skin) the piercer may add an additional cost. The needles that they use should be brand new and in sterilized sealed pouches. You should see them open the sealed packages. If you get into the room and the needles are already open, you are once again justified in asking for new ones. Your piercer should throw away the needles in a biohazard container after using them. They should also provide after-care instructions at this point. Most piercing salons will carry the cleaner that they are going to recommend to you.

TL;DR in Russian:

Следите за пирсингом. Сидите смирно. Использование нержавеющей стали. Только новые иглы. Выбрасывайте иглы.


If they want you to fall in line regardless of how you feel or what you'd prefer to do, then it means they don't care about you, and only want you as a henchman/henchwoman. This is a case of being used, not liked, and it is a classic sign of a controlling personality. That kind of person is near impossible to be good friends with, because you never know when they like you for what you can do for them or like you for you. Can you be yourself or do you feel as if you have to "be a certain way" or be really careful about what you say? A true friend is someone you can be yourself around and who won't judge you for the funny quirks, the odd blurts and the weird ways you perceive the world. A true friend will accept you as the package you are and won't expect you to walk on eggshells or censor the way you talk. When you don't have to be careful about what you say, that's when you're around the right person. A friend is someone who gives you the liberty to be yourself. Anything less is not true friendship. Does your friend wonder why you are doing this and ask after you? Or, does this friend seem relieved that you're not around? This can be an extremely telling factor when trying to determine how much this person cares about you, for only a person who hears your silence and sees your absence truly cares for you. Real friends stay by your side through thick and thin. Hardship is actually a good barometer for the true friends in your life. You only lose the friends who were masquerading as friends when you experience hardships and difficulties. Those fair weather friends are not worth your time or effort, as they are the sort of people to flit from one relationship to another, always seeking what is in it for them. A true friend stays, supports and keeps loving you regardless of what happens. A good friend is someone willing to share in both your happiness and your sadness, to notice and to be there for both. A good friendship is one in which each friend needs only what the person has to give of themselves, not their...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте осторожны с другом, который заставляет вас делать что-то так или тогда, когда он хочет. Подумайте, как вы себя чувствуете, когда разговариваете с этим человеком. Временно отдалитесь от своего друга. Подумайте, что происходит, когда вы нуждаетесь в помощи.


If they're bigger than you are, you'll need to cut down the edge and resew them to your size, but it'll still work! And any material will work, too. Jeans, slacks, khakis -- it's all good. Remember to leave 2" for a seam allowance or your skirt will be a bit shorter than you want it to be. Keep the part that's cut off (that is, the legs) -- that'll be what goes between the "legs" of your skirt, filling out the middle. Do it all the way around until 1/4" (.6 cm) below the crotch on both sides. You'll need your handy dandy seam ripper for this part. It'll take some time, so throw on your pajamas and the TV and get comfy. This is the most tedious part. It's all downhill from here! All those exposed seams? They need to go away! Fold them under (1/2" or so) and pin them to the inside. Do this on both sides, all the way around. You should have a clean, streamlined "V" on both sides, even and mirroring each other. Don't skip this step! It may seem a bit unnecessary, but your material will be much, much easier to work with if it's flat and all the kinks are worked out. You'll also be able to see if your lines are straight and your angles are how you want them. Turn your skirt inside out and pin the pant leg (the one you cut off) all the way around, covering the "V." Cut it so it covers the entirety of the opening, pinning it in place so it doesn't go anywhere. You'll need to do this for both sides, by the way, unless you want a crazy big (read: totally inappropriate) slit up the back (or front!) of your skirt. Go up both sides, sewing as close as possible to the edges where the fabrics meet. This can be done by hand, but will be much simpler with a sewing machine. Since you have that new cut at the bottom of your skirt (it's actually a skirt now!), you'll need to get it clean and looking pretty. Grab 1/2" (1.25 cm) of the edge of the fabric and tuck it under, creating a hem. Iron it down and sew (again, as close to the edge as possible), creating a nice, clean line. You probably have some extra fabric on the insides...

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите штаны любого размера. Отмерьте длину по вкусу и обрежьте штаны. Удалите швы с внутренней стороны от окончания штанин до "мотни". Подогните распоротые края и заколите их булавками. Прогладьте. Возьмите отрезанную штанину. Снова выверните юбку и начинайте пришивать ткань по краям, начиная снизу. Сделайте кромку по низу юбки. Удалите излишки ткани и прогладьте юбку еще раз.


If they're having problems or are upset, show them that you care. Just listening to someone's concerns is often enough to assure them that you care. You don't need to fix all of your loved one's problems, you just need to be there for the bad times as well as the good. When you're in love with someone, spending time with them is not a chore or stress. You'll want to be with them, so making time to do activities together is no problem. Find things you love doing together and make time to do them -- the people you love should be a naturally high priority on your schedule. Spend time talking together, not just doing activities. You need to be able to listen and share your thoughts in order to maintain love and trust. You are not always right, and neither is your loved one. Being in love is about remembering how important you are together, not always trying to end up on top. While you should stay true to yourself, being in love means taking their point of view into account as well as yours.  What is there side of the story? Is there something you didn't realize? Are you mad because of something that happened, or because you got too caught up in the argument? Do you still love and respect them? This is more important than a "winner" of any argument. Loving someone requires a degree of vulnerability. You have to be willing to open up about yourself, sharing the good times and asking for support during the bad. This, though difficult at first, is crucial to having a happy, loving relationship. Trusting each other deepens your bond together and allows you to grow and evolve, and your love will evolve accordingly. You need to know what your partner wants and needs, and they need to know you, in order to keep your love alive.  Trust is not just about talking, it is about listening carefully. Be open and honest about your schedule and life. Hiding things often leads to painful reveals later on. You need, above all, to take care of yourself in order to take care of someone else. Try not to "lose" yourself by neglecting...

TL;DR in Russian:

Покажите, что человек может рассчитывать на вас в любой ситуации. Регулярно проводите время вместе. Находите компромиссы в спорах и решениях.  Развивайте доверительные отношения Проявляйте заботу о своей жизни и счастье помимо взаимодействий с любимым человеком. Будьте нежны друг с другом. Периодически нарушайте заведенный порядок. Не завидуйте и радуйтесь за партнера.


If they're your size, make sure they ride where you want them to ride -- that is, for a pencil skirt, around your natural waist. If they ride at your hip, you'll need to trade them out for a pair that are much bigger. A bigger size can easily morph into a high-waisted skirt. Any material will do, not just denim! If your mom has a rockin' pair of chinos from the 80s, give it a shot! If the pants are bigger than you, you'll need to cut the inside and outside seams. If they're your size, you'll only need to cut the inside seams (along the inside of your legs). Cut up the crotch too, so it lays flat. If you don't, you'll have this bulky, bubbly mess of fabric that you do not want to be dealing with later on down your skirt road. Cut to wear the material doesn't naturally curve anymore. That extra material for crotch room? The kind that juts out that forms a V? We don't want that. You want two long, straight shots of fabric for each "leg." Start at the widest point near the crotch and cut a straight line on both legs. It can even go down to the bottom of the pant. If you bought pants that are much bigger than you and are working with two different halves, you'll need to do these steps twice. Down that straight line you just cut, pin both legs together to form the unified material for your skirt. Pin about 1" from the edges, leaving room for your backstitch. You can cut off some of excess material (length-wise) right now if you'd like, or you can just sew it all and adjust for length later. But if you'd like a slit, don't sew up the back all the way!  Your backstitch should be as close to the edge as possible -- you can follow the seam line that's already there. You can do this either by hand or with a machine, no problem. Again, if you're working with two different halves, do this for both. Or if you're working with two different pieces (having just sewn each piece separately), lay the top piece on the bottom piece, wrong sides facing out.  If the skirt is bigger than you, take a skirt that fits you and lay it on...

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите пару штанов. Обрежьте швы сверху до низу. Сложите получившуюся материю пополам в месте, где была мотня, и прошейте шов до самого низа. Сложите штанины вместе и прострочите. Выверните юбку наизнанку. Заколите стороны булавками и начинайте прошивать. Обрежьте юбку до нужной длины и обработайте низ юбки.


If things are going well, ask for her phone number if you don’t already have it. Texting is a great way to start a conversation without worrying about outside things like other people. Once you have her number, send her a text the next day with a comment about something you’ve talked about before.  For example, you can say something like, “I was just listening to the band that you recommended yesterday. I loved the first track, you have awesome taste!” Try to respond to her texts within 30 minutes or so unless you’re busy. It can be frustrating to have a conversation with someone who doesn’t reply often, especially if she can see when you opened her message. If she doesn’t reply, wait a day or two to text her again. Avoid bringing up the fact that she didn’t answer and try to start a different conversation. If she still doesn’t answer, accept it and move on. Avoid sending multiple texts in a row. This can be overwhelming and scare her off. Wait for her to reply to your previous messages before sending another one. Sometimes, you have to be bold when you like someone. If things are going well and she seems happy to see you and spend time with you, ask her out on a date. She’ll appreciate you being honest about liking her, and you’ll know immediately if she likes you back.  Keep her interests in mind when asking her out, and have an idea of what you want to do. For example, you could say, “Do you want to go see the new James Bond movie with me this weekend? I know you mentioned loving the other ones!” If she refuses, accept her decision and back off. Open doors and hold her hand when walking to show her that you’re interested in her romantically and will treat her well. This goes a long way to showing that you’d make a good boyfriend and might bump her interest in you to the next level. Kindness will demonstrate to the girl that you’re trustworthy and reliable, which are both very desirable traits. Plus, all girls like being treated well! You should plan to pay for the first few dates if you're the one asking...

TL;DR in Russian:

Флиртуйте в сообщениях, чтобы начать разговор. Действуйте прямо и пригласите  девушку на свидание, если все складывается успешно. Ведите себя вежливо и учтиво. Приготовьтесь оплатить счет, когда приглашаете девушку на свидание.  Оставайтесь собой


If this behavior occurred on your property, consult your local municipality. For encounters in a preserved forest or national park, report to the relevant forestry or parks district. If you encounter them in urban or suburban spaces, share this information with neighbors and your local animal control branch. Coyotes are creatures of habit. Be sure to change your routine if you see a coyote at the same time and place while walking your pet. Coyotes involved in biting attacks will be targeted and removed from the population. They are then often tested for rabies and are killed if found infected. However, it is important to note that an attack by an individual coyote does not warrant the general killing of coyotes. Recall that coyote attacks on humans are exceptionally rare.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сообщите об агрессивном поведении койота соответствующим властям. Запомните, где и когда вы встретились с койотами. Для дальнейших мер обратитесь в службу контроля за животными или в иные ответственные инстанции.


If this fails to adequately cover the texture, switch to one with a 1 1/4-inch (3 cm) nap. . Dip the roller in the paint several times and rake it over a screen to distribute and take off the excess paint. Don't dip the roller into the paint so far that paint enters the hollow center. This will leave drips of paint on the walls. If this doesn't do an adequate job, roll the paint on in a "V" pattern, then follow up with vertical strokes. Because of the amount of paint that the roller will hold and the increased possibility of splatter, use the roller more slowly than if you were painting a smooth wall. Remove the excess with a dry roller.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите качественный малярный валик длиной 23 сантиметра. Краска должна покрывать поверхность валика полностью. Окрашивайте стену вертикальными полосами, перекрывающими друг друга. Проверьте, нет ли на стене участков с избыточным количеством краски.


If this is a maintenance service, you may want to locate a new belt before removing the old one. If the belt has broken or slipped,  you can  wait until the old one is removed before buying a new one so you can compare them to be sure the new one is the correct one for your vehicle.  Most vehicles require rubber timing belts, as opposed to older steel timing chains. Available for a few dollars at any auto parts store, you'll likely need to change yours every 90,000 to 120,000 miles (140,000 to 190,000 km), depending on your engine. You will need to know the make, model, and year model of the vehicle, as well as the engine type and size. Some models may have variations even during one model year, so your VIN may also be helpful. You can purchase a new belt at a dealer or an auto parts store. Your parts supplier should be able to tell you what you will need. Timing belt kits are also available that include replacement gaskets and other necessary materials to complete the job.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прежде чем снимать старый ремень, необходимо купить новый. Необходимая информация о вашем автомобиле. Также не забудьте купить прокладки и специальный клей, необходимые для повторной сборки.


If this is someone that you spend a great deal of time around, you will likely become aware pretty quickly that something seems different or off. Make a mental note and try to remember to continue making observations about when she seems different than she usually does. Once you are aware that she seems off, start paying attention to when her behavior changes. Look for patterns that will give you an idea of what might be causing her to act differently.  Does her demeanor change when a particular subject is brought up? Does the change occur when a certain person is around? Does she seem to feel uncomfortable when she is in a specific location? Is there an upcoming event that she does not want to discuss? Again, if you know her very well, then spotting differences in her behavior should be quite simple. As you narrow down the general cause for her sudden secrecy, observe her for any habits or tell-tale signs of lying or secrecy.  Seems to be thinking really hard  Eyes frequently flickering toward an exit  Frequently pauses when giving responses  Changes the subject abruptly Crosses her arms across her chest or protects other vulnerable areas, like her throat  Shares too many details  Leans backward, as if trying to physically distance herself  Stillness of her arms and legs  Lack of emphatic gesturing  Stops using “I” statements and refers to people by names instead of “him” or “her”  Avoids answering questions completely  Clears throat and swallows hard frequently As you observe her behavior and what triggers it, think about what she might be hiding and how serious it is.  If you are in a relationship with her, then perhaps she is hiding that she is cheating or that she picked up a bad habit she promised she quit, like smoking. Or, if she is a friend, maybe she is hiding something that was said about you behind your back. There is always the chance that she is hiding something positive, like a surprise gift or party. It is important to give her the benefit of the doubt. Creating a list of your suspicions, or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание, если она кажется отрешенной. Отслеживайте, когда ее поведение меняется. Понаблюдайте за ее изменившимся поведением. Подумайте, насколько серьезной вам кажется ее тайна. Запишите свои подозрения, чтобы подготовиться к откровенному разговору с девушкой. Поделитесь своими подозрениями с общим другом.


If this is the first time you've used Outlook, it will likely ask you to "Add an account." Click on this to add your email account. This allows you to log in to your email account, setting it up for Outlook.  Troubleshooting: For Windows 8 or higher: If you are not getting this option, then get the “Charms bar” by pressing combined “Window + C” with the keyboard. At the Charms bar, click over “Settings,” then “Accounts,” and then “Add an account”.    There is a little "+" near the corner on some Macs.  Troubleshooting: You may also need to click the padlock icon in the bottom to unlock your settings. This will require your administrative password, the one you used to log into the computer. If asked what kind of account (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.) make sure you select the correct one. It may take some time to access your email, but usually no more than a few minutes. This is by far the most common way to work things.  Troubleshooting: If this fails, try POP.    This is what you used to log on. This looks complicated, but it is not. Simply write in mail, a period, then the end of your email handle. For example, if your email is Youperson@gmail.com, your servers would both be mail.gmail.com. Make sure "Use SSL to connect" is checked. This helps keep Outlook running smoothly, and is not strictly necessary. It will, however, help avoid some common issues.

TL;DR in Russian:

Запустите Outlook. Выберите «Учетные записи» внизу меню «Инструменты». Нажмите «Добавить», чтобы добавить почтовый ящик. Выберите «Почта» в меню. Введите свой адрес электронной почты и пароль. Выберите «IMAP» в меню «Тип». Введите свое имя пользователя. Укажите одинаковые входящий и исходящий серверы. Нажмите «Дополнительные параметры» и в разделе «Аутентификация» выберите «Использовать информацию о входящем сервере».


If this is the tub that contains the bath mat, lift up the bath mat so it isn’t stuck to the bottom of the tub. An easy and effective way to clean your rubber bath mat is to soak it in a diluted bleach solution in your bathtub.  If you have a deep or utility sink, that may be preferable.  Be prepared to measure the amount of bleach to be used in making your solution and have more than enough room for a proper soaking. Bleach may splash when being poured and can irritate your eyes or skin.  Wear protective cleaning gloves before pouring bleach.  You may also wish to use goggles to cover your eyes. Before preparing a diluted bleach solution, open a window or leave the bathroom door open.  Fumes from using bleach or making a bleach solution can be noxious and cause dizziness. Add one gallon of water to the bathtub. Do not pour bleach directly into the bathtub.  Do not make a diluted bleach solution with hot water.  Hot water may intensify fumes as bleach is added. Have a measuring cup or tablespoon handy.  Do not pour bleach indiscriminately into the cold water.  Unequal parts of bleach to water may create a more potent and dangerous solution and cause dizziness or breathing problems.  Some recommended measurements are as follows:  Add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of chlorine bleach to 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water for normal cleaning.  Add 1 cup (240 mL) of chlorine bleach to 5 gallons (19 L) of water for heavier cleaning.  As an alternative to bleach, make a solution of 1 cup (240 mL) of white vinegar and 1 cup (240 mL) of water and use it to scrub the mat. Or, fill the tub or basin with equal parts vinegar and water and allow the mat to soak. You may decide a more thorough cleaning is in order, or you might just want to keep your bath mats fresh.  To eliminate mold or mildew, leave the rubber bath mat in the diluted bleach solution for 3-4 hours.  To freshen up the bath mat with a quick clean, scrub the rubber bath mat with a cleaning brush or scouring pad to remove dirt and debris after soaking for a few minutes. Remove...

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте в ванне разбавленный раствор отбеливателя. При работе с отбеливателем надевайте защитную экипировку. Убедитесь, что ванная хорошо проветривается. Сначала налейте в ванну только холодной воды. Отмерьте необходимое количество отбеливателя. Оставьте коврик отмокать, а затем почистите его. Высушите коврик после очистки.


If this is your first time experiencing anxiety, you probably don't have a team of mental health providers on call. Find a psychiatrist or psychotherapist in your area who has experience treating severe cases of anxiety. You may have to go through your family doctor for a consult or referral before you can get an appointment. Talk to your doctor about your  severe anxiety. Record the symptoms you are experiencing and be sure to mention any aspects of your lifestyle that have changed. Symptoms of severe anxiety may include chest pain, dizziness, numbness, intense fear, avoidance behaviors, or compulsive behaviors.  If your anxiety has only recently gotten more severe, be sure to alert your healthcare providers (i.e., family doctor, psychiatrist, therapist, etc.) of this sudden change. If your severe anxiety is an ongoing issue, schedule regular appointments so that your healthcare providers can help monitor your condition. Carry a notepad around with you for a week or so and jot down the people, places, and things that tend to make your anxiety worse. Triggers for anxiety may include illness, work or school stress, relationship troubles, and even aspects of your environment such as clutter.  Once you identify your triggers, you can work with your therapist to come up with ways to avoid or limit these situations. Anything in excess can be a trigger, including too much light, loud background noise, too many people, too much to look at, and overpowering odors. See if you need to be taking medications for your severe anxiety. If you’re already taking meds and your symptoms have suddenly worsened, talk to your doctor about making an adjustment to your current regimen.  A wide range of medications are used for the treatment of severe anxiety, including anti-anxiety drugs in the class known as benzodiazepines as well as antidepressant drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. If you are prescribed benzodiazepines, be aware that they aren’t recommended for long-term use due to the bad side effects they...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь к психотерапевту, если еще этого не сделали. Проконсультируйтесь с семейным врачом. Определите провоцирующие факторы. Подумайте о медикаментозном лечении. Определите, какой тип терапии поможет вам с тревогой. Попробуйте альтернативное лечение, которым можно заниматься дома. Попробуйте натуральные средства.


If this is your first time raising caterpillars, you might want to start with a caterpillar kit. You can order a kit online and choose from a variety of butterfly species. The kit will come with everything you need to raise the caterpillars into butterflies. If you prefer, you can instead find caterpillars in your neighborhood and provide what they need to become healthy butterflies. It's a little trickier since you'll need to find fresh food for them every day, but you'll learn a lot about a species native to your area.   If you want to buy a butterfly kit, consider getting a species that will be able to survive in your region after you release it. Do a little research to find out which butterfly populations in your area could use a boost.  If you want to find your own caterpillars, go outside and look around. Look for the following host plants to find different caterpillar species:  Caterpillar/Butterfly Species Host Plant    Monarch    Milkweed     Spicebush Swallowtail    Spicebush     Zebra Swallowtail    Paw-paw     Black Swallowtail    Dill, fennel and parsley This will keep the caterpillars from crawling away and getting free while also giving them a safe, well-ventilated environment. You can fasten the cheesecloth over the mouth of the jar with a rubber band to keep it in place. If you ordered a butterfly kit, it would come with a jar and ventilated lid for you to use.   Put no more than 2 to 3 caterpillars together in a jar. If they all become butterflies, they'll need plenty of space when they emerge from their chrysalises. The caterpillar's jar will need to be cleaned every day since caterpillars produce a lot of waste. If you just leave the waste in the jar, mold can grow, which is unhealthy for the caterpillars. Line the jar with paper towels that you can switch out for easy cleanup. Place long sticks in the jar so that the caterpillars have a place to climb. When you change out the paper towels, be very careful not to damage the caterpillars. Wait until they're climbing on the sticks, then...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните с детенышей гусениц. Держите гусениц в 4 литровой емкости, накрыв ее марлей. Каждый день кормите гусениц свежими листьями.


If this is your first time trying to critically analyze a text you should choose a book that isn’t too far outside of your comfort zone. It is easier for you to think deeply about a book that you are not struggling to read.   Pick a book from a genre you already like or one written in a time and a place with which you are familiar. If you can, choose a book by an author you already know and like. Consult an expert. There are professionals and amateurs alike who would love to match you with a work of great literature. These include:  Librarians: high school, university, or your local public library Literary teachers: your high school English teacher Literary enthusiasts: your school might have a book club Book sellers: Amazon.com can offer recommendations, but also your local independent book store. The media: The New York Times Bestseller's List, NPR, Oprah's Book Club List Before you begin reading, it often helps to have some idea of what you will encounter within the book’s pages. Learn some background on the author of the book. Find out what other works they wrote and how their writing fits into conversation with the other literature of the era.   You can also find useful context and helpful guidance in book reviews online. This step can help you formulate questions that you’d like to answer as you read the book. Before you read, jot down a series of basic questions and keep track of your answers. You can keep a separate notebook for your answers or you can mark your book copy in the margins with a pencil. Consider the following questions:  Who is the book about? What happens to the main characters in the story? Where and when does the book take place? How does the author tell this story? Is it written from one perspective, or several? Is it told by an omniscient (or all-knowing) narrator? Or is it told by the characters themselves? You may encounter difficulty with your work, and you do not necessarily have to go it alone. There are many guides available that can offer summaries, character profiles,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите книгу. Проведите простое предварительное исследование в интернете. Делайте записи. Используйте карандаш, чтобы иметь возможность исправить ложные впечатления.


If this is your first time using bleach or doing a bleach test, you should perform an allergy test before covering your whole head in bleach (or else you might have a bad reaction.) Mix up a small amount of equal parts bleach and developer. Take a cotton swab, dip it in the bleach, and rub it on the inside of your elbow. If that area begins to itch, grow patchy, or take on a bright red color, then you are most likely allergic to the bleach and should not use it on your whole head. Monitor the area for 48 hours. If nothing happens then proceed with the bleaching. If your bleach and developer come with instructions on how to perform an allergy test, follow those instructions. If possible, use a clarifying shampoo as this sort of shampoo will help you to gauge the strength of the bleach you are using. You should use the amount of shampoo you would normally use when washing your hair.  You may want to add a tad bit more in case you need to add a bit more bleach to your hair. Most shampoos are fine to use but do not use a toning shampoo. There are many different types of bleach - cream, oil, liquid, or powder - but it really doesn't matter what kind you use. They all do the same thing in the end. Using a 30 or 40 developer can break or snap re-treated hair, so use with caution! Developer comes in many volumes with lower numbers being weaker and 40 being the strongest. The shampoo--if a clear clarifying one--should turn whatever color the blech is. Add conditioner. This step is optional, but recommended to keep hair healthy. However, do not add conditioner if you are planning on dyeing your hair directly after bleaching it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте аллергическую пробу. Вылейте шампунь, который будет использоваться, в миску. Смешайте 30 грамм отбеливателя и 30 грамм проявителя во второй миске. Налейте все в одну миску и тщательно перемешайте.


If this person has a problem with substance abuse, gambling, binge eating, or other destructive behaviors, there's a good chance they're a pathological liar.  For example, you may notice a co-worker drinking extra at a company party. You may see them filling up their drink when no one else is at the bar, or even notice them carrying a flask. You may also notice you don't see one co-worker eat at lunch, but sometimes find evidence of food having been in their office. They may be very secretive about eating habits, and habitually turn down offers to get food with co-workers. Pathological liars are often disconnected with reality. A lot of times, they may believe parts of their lies themselves. They may be deluded about themselves and their abilities.  A pathological liar may have a tendency to exaggerate their importance. They may see something innocuous, like a compliment from a boss, as a sign of personal greatness. When recounting the compliment, they may fluff its importance. A pathological liar may lack basic life skills, but  may not see this as a problem. If the person has a distorted view of reality, they may honestly believe what they are saying. While this is not true of all pathological liars, consider the possibility that the person is not lying out of malice. Pathological liars tend to have unstable relationships. Consider anything you know about this person's relationship history. Look for any warning signs of instability.  Does this person have stable friendships or romantic relationships? A lack of longterm friends, and a series of failed romances, may indicate a pathological liar. A pathological liar may also be estranged from their family. A pathological liar tends to bluff their way into jobs. A pathological liar may have many jobs on their resume. However, most of these jobs will be short term. They may also dodge questions about why certain jobs did not work out longterm.  For example, a pathological liar may have a long resume. Most of the jobs will only have been short term. If you ask...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поищите заложенные в основу скрытые привычки. Подумайте, живет ли человек в нашем мире. Подумайте об отношении человека с другими людьми. Изучите карьеру человека.


If this person is rarely late, consider letting it slide, but if it is more regular, a conversation is necessary.  Once you notice a pattern of lateness, pull your employee or friend to the side to chat. The next time they are late, sit them down away from others to chat. Let them know how their lateness makes you feel.  Tell them that your time is valuable, but you often find yourself waiting around on them. Ask them if they can be on time in the future or let you know well in advance if they’ll be late. Say “When you’re late for these events, it’s really frustrating for me.  When we go to the movies or to a show, we never get to see the whole thing and that’s unfair.  Can you work on being on time in the future?” Stay completely focused during this conversation.  Stay off your phone and computer. Your employee or friend may be dealing with something difficult at home that is affecting their sleep and making them late to work or events. Work out a temporary schedule when necessary to accommodate this person if they are your employee. For instance, you might allow them to come in late and stay later, as well.  Give them a two week limit on this type of schedule so that other employees do not get jealous.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поговорите наедине. Озвучьте свои беспокойства. Слушайте и делайте исключения при необходимости.


If this person is someone well known, read biographies about them, as well as articles. Watch interviews with them online and observe their mannerisms and personality. If you know the person, observe or listen to them regularly. Ask them questions about themselves to learn more about them. For example, if you admire a teacher, observe them in class and stop by office hours to talk to them. It's important to understand why you admire someone so you imitate their best qualities. Think about how the person dresses, acts, and otherwise carries themselves. Ask yourself which traits you admire.  Is it their personal style you admire most? What about the way they carry themselves? Do you particularly like the way they speak or their great sense of humor? Once you figure out what you like about the person, try imitating that. For example, try making the types of jokes the person would make if you like their sense of humor. When you spend a lot of time with someone, you begin unconsciously imitating things like their voice. Making an effort to be around the person you're imitating will naturally make you speak and act more like them.  If you admire a friend or classmates, try to make plans with that person regularly. Meet for coffee every Tuesday, for example. If you don't have a personal relationship with this person, you can do things like watch interviews with them online. While it is likely not as effective as spending one-on-one time with someone, you may take on some of their behavior if you watch videos of the person.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте о человеке все, что сможете. Выделите качества, которые вас восхищают. По возможности проводите время с этим человеком.


If this person will no longer be part of your life, you should delete their contact information. This might help prevent you from calling, texting or emailing them.  You might remember their phone number or their email address, but removing them from your phone, computer, tablet, address book etc. can make it at least a little bit more difficult for you to quickly contact them. For example, if you delete your ex’s contact information from your phone, it’ll be less tempting to just tap their name and send a text or give them a call — at the very least, it’ll make you think before you do so. If the person still calls or texts you, if you have a smart phone you can download an app that blocks their calls and texts so that you don’t receive notifications. Doing this is particularly useful if you’re working hard to keep your mind off of them, as every time they call/text you’ll be reminded of them, and you may be tempted to respond. If they often contact you via email, have their messages immediately directed into a separate folder instead of your inbox. You can do this by creating an email filter — directions on how to do this will differ depending on the provider. If you’re struggling to get over someone, having them on your Facebook, Twitter etc. is a terrible idea. Instead of just deleting them, block them; this way, you won’t see anything that they post, and vice versa. It may be tempting to see what the person is up to on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or some other social media site. Avoid the urge to check up on them, as this will only make it more difficult to get over them and move on with your own life. Delete old texts and other communications such as emails, FB messages, WhatsApp chats etc. You have better things to do with your time than pour over those old messages and feel upset. Before getting rid of photos, think about whether they depict a part of your life that you really want to forget forever.  As time goes on, you might look back on the relationship or at least the time period in your life...

TL;DR in Russian:

Удалите его контактную информацию. Заблокируйте телефонный номер. Фильтр для электронной почты. Заблокируйте человека в социальных сетях. Удалите старые переписки. Не спешите удалять фотографии. Сложите материальные предметы в коробку.


If this small talk goes well, share a little information about yourself--just something small like what you do for a living or how you liked the show you just saw, for example. At some point, of course, you'll want to introduce yourself and, hopefully, get her name. The key to sharing information is that you both gradually  open up. Take turns talking, and each time she gives you some information about herself, give similar information about yourself, and maybe give slightly more personal information than she gave.  For example, if you're talking to a girl who says she's taking summer classes, you might disclose that you are also taking summer classes, and then tell her which class you are most excited about. This invites her to disclose more information about herself so that the intimacy of the conversation increases over time. You don't want to share too much about yourself too quickly, and you shouldn't try to get her to do so either. Laugh at her jokes, listen to her stories, and don't get distracted by what's going on around you. It's more important to seem interested than to seem interesting, and you don't want to hog the conversation. Being a good listener is far more important to successful conversation than being witty. Put away your phone (until you ask for her number). This is not the time to check in with your friends -- unless you want her to feel unwanted. If you want the woman to like talking to you, then you have to show that you actually care about her as a person instead of just thinking of her as someone you can pick up. Without getting too personal, you should ask her some questions, either about her life, her ideas, or just about some general topics like her favorite sports team or what she likes to do with her free time. Here are some things you can ask about:  Her family Pets Her favorite movies, books, albums Her friends Her hobbies Her job Show her you think she's a worthy, intelligent being and that you actually care about what she thinks -- beyond whether or not she'll say "yes" if...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если этот небольшой разговор пройдет хорошо, расскажите немного о себе – совсем чуть-чуть, например, чем вы занимаетесь или как вам понравилось шоу, которое вы только что видели. Предоставьте ей все свое внимание. Задавайте вопросы. Спросите ее мнение. Ищите общее. Покажите ей, что вы зрелая личность. Позвольте ей говорить. Флиртуйте.


If trying to break your addiction on your own isn't working out, remember that you can always consult with a professional. Therapists are trained to deal with addiction and can help support you as you break free from internet addiction and pornography. There are also many resources that are available to help you with this specific problem. Many websites and programs are devoted to helping with internet addiction and pornography, though they will have varying levels of credibility. There are also a couple of different addiction organizations, in the style of Alcoholics Anonymous, which deal with sex and porn addictions. If you've not had luck with anything else, these might help you:  Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health Sex Addicts Anonymous At the end of the day, the thing that's going to play the biggest role in whether or not you can change is whether or not you want to make a change.

There are lots of good reasons.
