Pick a reading spot that you know will be quiet and have the least amount of distractions. At home, this might be your bedroom or a room upstairs, away from shared areas like the kitchen or living room. At school, you may read in the quiet area of the library or in a quiet corner of the study hall. Choose an area that has thick walls and a door or a partition. This will help to block out noise and other sounds that could distract you from your reading. If you know there is going to be noise where you are reading, wear noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs. Close all doors to keep out noise. This will help you stay focused on the text. You should also turn off your cellphone and your wifi. This way, you are not distracted by social media or text messages. Let those around you know that you are trying to focus on reading. Put up a Do Not Disturb sign on your door. Ask others around you to stay away from your room or area so you can try to absorb the text in peace. You may instruct others to leave you alone for a set period of time, such as 30 minutes or 1 hour. This way, you are assured of some peace and quiet for a set period of time so you can focus on the text.

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите спокойное, укромное место. Заглушите шум и отвлекающие факторы. Попросите других оставить вас одного.


Pick a room that is large enough for the players to move around comfortably while they are looking for clues and working together. Also, make sure your props and clues will be able to fit. To make your game longer and more difficult, use two or more rooms that are next to each other and have guests "unlock" the doors between them as they progress through the game. Choosing an interesting setting will help you come up with themed challenges. It will also make it easier for the escape room to feel like a complete experience.  You could choose to place the room in Italy during the Renaissance or in New York during the roaring 1920s. If you want to have even more control over the setting, choose a time in the future where the possibilities are limitless! Think of a theme your guests would be interested and intrigued by. For instance try to pick a theme that resembles a book or movie the group already likes. Make sure you will able to purchase and find props and decorations that fit the theme you choose.  For example, if the setting is based in England during the late 1800s, use a Sherlock Holmes theme. If your guests like horror movies and Halloween, choose a zombie or haunted house theme. You could also create a prison escape theme in almost any time-period you like! Aiming for 30 minutes will help keep you from being too overwhelmed or having to come up with too many challenges. This way, you can focus on making high-quality puzzles and keep your guests entertained throughout. If you have made several escape room, and your guests have completed a few in the past, lengthening the time past 30 minutes will give your guests the challenge they need to stay interested.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите комнату, в которой можно провести квест. Выберите предполагаемое время и место действия, чтобы затем придумать подходящую легенду. Выберите соответствующую тему квеста. Если вы готовите свой первый квест, ограничьте его 30 минутами.


Pick a safe space for your first date: a restaurant, gym, or outdoor park are all great places to meet up. Although you two have been chatting online, you still don't know her that well. Meeting in a public spot will be safest for both of you. While men say that their favorite place for first dates is restaurants, women prefer coffee shops. Keep in mind that a casual location might help her feel more comfortable. If you can't be bothered to show up on time, your date will feel like you don't care about her. Respect her time and show up at the determined time. Act respectful and avoid making offensive jokes or accidentally insulting her. You want to make a good, thoughtful first impression. For your first date, focus on broad and positive topics. Avoid getting into a debate with your date, especially if you tend towards heated conversations. Steer from mentioning previous relationships, especially if you're not quite over your ex. Mentioning an ex-lover on the first date tells her that you're already comparing her to that person. No woman wants that. You may have heard that the golden rule for first dates is avoiding politics, but this is actually not true. If you both enjoy politics, go ahead and talk about it but remember to respect her opinions even if different from yours. Treat her as if you believe she already likes you. Worrying about whether she wants a second date later will only make you nervous, and you could accidentally sabotage any chemistry blossoming between you two. She agreed to meet up, so she's likely open to dating you. This date is time to see if you're mutually attracted to each other. Remember, you don't look as anxious as you feel. People tend to overestimate the visibility of their own anxiety. If you don't feel confident, fake it until you make it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите людное место для первой встречи. Будьте вежливы и не опаздывайте. Обходите противоречивые темы стороной. Уделяйте все внимание девушке.


Pick a specific time to visualize your autosuggestions. Setting a schedule will help you maintain a consistent schedule, which will help the autosuggestions succeed. The moments before you sleep and when you awake are the best because you are more prone to suggestion. While you sit comfortably, try to relax and let go of your thoughts. Breath deeply and regularly. Visualization and autosuggestion work best when you are relaxed since you mind is more open to suggestion. You can stand or sit during this method with your eyes closed. As you repeat your autosuggestions, visualize yourself experiencing them. Attach as much meaning as you can to what you imagine. The more emotion you put into the visualization, the more efficient it becomes. Try to involve every sense as you imagine your autosuggestion coming to life. Try to see, hear, feel, smell, and touch the scene your picture. Imagine how the autosuggestion would make you feel. Attach that feeling to what you picture. For example, if you see yourself getting a promotion, imagine how you would feel if that happened: happy, successful and self-assured. Visualize scenes in which you are using your autosuggestion. Slightly move your body and use hand gestures as you would in a situation where you would use your autosuggestion. For example, if your autosuggestion is “I am a good public speaker,” then picture yourself giving a wonderful speech in front of an audience. Imagine yourself doing hand gestures and emphasizing your point. Try to visualize two or three times a day. Make sure you practice the visualization consistently. Visualization and autosuggestion only work if you repeatedly do them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте график. Расслабьтесь. Закройте глаза. Повторите выбранные установки аутотренинга. Пусть образы станут как можно более живыми. Подключите эмоции к визуализации. Разыграйте происходящее. Повторите визуализацию.


Pick a sturdy box or container with some extra room for packing material around the edges. You’ll want to make sure your books can lay flat and that the edges won’t get squished or bent. Line the bottom of the box with padding. Then, carefully add the books to the container. Add extra padding on top and around the books to keep them safe; bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and crumpled plastic bags are lightweight options. Crumpled newspaper works too, but the weight may add a bit more to shipping costs.  Damage usually happens to the corners of hardcover books, which can get bent (or "bumped" as they say in the book trade). Pay special attention to padding the corners. If you have the space, separate all books with their own layer of padding. One way to do this is to sort the books by size, in stacks, and wrap each stack in bubble wrap. Close the box lid by laying the flaps flush, rather than weaving them together. Place packing tape halfway up one side, across the lid, and down the other side. Repeat with a second piece of tape in a cross shape. Cover any flap or opening with packing tape to prevent something from catching on it and ripping it apart. For extra protection, tape along each edge seam of the box as well, but don't use tape more than necessary. It's a nuisance if the recipient has to cut off yards of tape to get to the book.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите коробку правильного размера. Заполните коробку. Тщательно заклейте коробку.


Pick a subject that defines who you are or what you care about most. Talk about an issue that affects you or someone who is close to you. Or persuade your audience to care about a social, environmental, political, or economic problem.   If you are passionate about the environment, then write about environmental issues, or write about the impact of technology on medicine, if that is what you are passionate about. Make sure your topic fits the parameters of the assignment. Choosing a topic you are passionate about will make writing, rehearsing, and giving your speech much easier. Type distinct phrases in your search engine to find specific information about your topic like, “The effects of pollution on the ocean.” Look for articles published by reputable sources like universities and well-known news outlets and magazines. Review the information of at least 3 websites. If the websites are all saying the same thing about your topic, the information should be valid and reliable. If they are not, then keep researching your topic until you find consistent information. Check out books on your topic from your school’s library, or your local library. Tell the librarian about your topic and the kind of speech you hope to give. Your librarian can point you in the right direction for books and articles on your topic. Check the publication dates for the books you reference. Always use the newest version of a book possible, as it will have the most up-to-date studies and research. As you review your sources, write down information that supports and expands your ideas in a valuable way. Categorize the information by theme. Make sure to type or write down relevant points and information such as statistics and facts that support your main argument. If you have any first-hand experience with your topic, you can also make note that. Personal stories can be just as engaging as research and stats.  Additionally, take note of any opposing opinions. This way you can briefly address and rebut them in your speech. Save the links to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите тему, которая вам очень интересна. Используйте интернет-источники. Извлекайте информацию из книг. Составьте план из важной информации. Начните работать над речью по меньшей мере за неделю до выступления.


Pick a time each day to go through your backpack and sort your papers and other supplies. Move graded work and old handouts to a folder you keep at home, so you can use them to study later. Check that all your homework assignments are packed into the right folder in your binder. Some people remember to do this more often if they organize their binder right after they get home. Waiting too long can make you unwilling to return to "school mode." A daily planner or portable calendar makes keeping track of assignments much easier. Many people write down each assignment in the space provided for the day it is due. If you keep forgetting to look ahead at your assignment, however, you can try a different system that keeps all your current assignments in the same place:  Each time you are given a new assignment, write it down in your planner in the space for today' date. Write the due date next to the name of the assignment. Each evening after school, look at your planner's entry for yesterday's date. Cross out any assignments you've completed, then re-write the names of all uncompleted assignments in today's date. Notebooks, binders, and returned assignments can easily get lost in a pile of clutter when you leave them at home. Prevent this by clearing space on a bookshelf or drawer, and always keep your notebooks in the same place. Put all papers left at home in a special folder for that class, separate from the one in your binder. Ideally, you won't need extra notebooks, but some teachers will require you to use them. If they do, make it easy to remember which is which by keeping them color coded. For example, if you keep your math papers after a blue divider in your binder, use a blue notebook and supply case for your math class.

TL;DR in Russian:

Каждый вечер перед занятиями наводите порядок в своей папке. Пользуйтесь ежедневником. Принадлежности, которые вы оставляете дома, храните в специально отведенном месте. Остальные принадлежности пометьте тем же цветом, что используется в папке.


Pick a time when he is relaxed, stress free, and in a good mood. Make sure you two are in a private place where you guys can have an uninterrupted conversation. You do not want someone to walk in or over hear this conversation.  Avoid professing your love after a physically or psychologically charged situation (like before or after being intimate) because he may say that he loves you too due to an adrenaline rush or from being in an emotional environment.  Also avoid telling him if either one of you are intoxicated or sleepy. He may or may not remember what you said. If you discuss future plans for your relationship or how you currently feel, this is the ideal time to tell him that you love him. Be as natural as possible and tell him that you love him. Look him in his eyes and say, "I love you." You do not have to make it dramatic or awkward, just speak from the heart.  You can choose the ideal situation when you tell him, but try not to think about it too much. If the two of you are alone and having a good time, let him know. Listen to your gut when deciding to say "I love you."   Avoid saying, "You are the love of my life." It causes a comparison between you and his past relationships. He may love you, but may not consider you the love if his life at this point. You may be less likely to get the response you desire if you say that phrase. When you tell him that you love him, let him know that he does not have to say it back to you if he does not feel the same way. You do not want him to feel any pressure when you tell him.   You may say, "I love you. I understand if you're not ready to say it or you're feelings aren't in the same place as mine. I just wanted you to know how I feel." Remember that love happens at different speeds for people. Even if he does not say it back to you, it does not mean that he does not want to be with you.  Being patient with him is the best way to allow his love to grow if it is not already there yet. If your partner does not say "I love you, too," you can use this as an...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите подходящее время. Облеките свои чувства в слова. Дайте ему личное пространство.


Pick a time when you have no agenda. Just give her a call to say hello, and see how she's doing. Nothing says, "I'm thinking about you." like giving someone a call. You know what your friend likes. Maybe she can't live without an afternoon coffee, or maybe she has a penchant for black forest cake. Surprise her by bringing one of them to her when you know she's having a rough day. Dancing gets your blood pumping, plus it's silly and fun. Put some music on, and rock out together. Not many people get handwritten notes anymore. It's so rare, in fact, that it's bound to put a smile on her face. Drop a note in the mail to her. If you include one with a funny card, that's a bonus. Drop by with her favorite casserole. Do a chore you know she hates to do, like mow the lawn. Send her a small present you know she'll love. Any concrete gesture will be sure to brighten her day.

TL;DR in Russian:

Позвоните ей. Принесите ей одно из ее любимых лакомств. Устройте импровизированную танцевальную вечеринку. Отправьте ей открытку. Сделайте что-нибудь милое без повода.


Pick a topic that interests you, and that you think it would be good to know more about. If you are writing a hypothesis for a school assignment, this step may be taken care of for you. Gather all the information you can about the topic you've selected. You'll need to become an expert on the subject and develop a good grasp of what is already known about the topic.  Focus on academic and scholarly writing. You need to be certain that your information is unbiased, accurate, and comprehensive. Scholarly search databases such as Google Scholar and Web of Science can help you find relevant articles from reputable sources. You can find information in textbooks, at a library, and online. If you are in school, you can also ask for help from teachers, librarians, and your peers. Spend some time reading the materials you've collected. As you do so, look for and make note of unanswered questions in the literature. These can provide excellent ideas for areas to investigate.   For example, if you are interested in the effects of caffeine on the human body, but notice that nobody seems to have explored whether caffeine affects males differently than it does females, this could be something to formulate a hypothesis about. Or, if you are interested in organic farming, you might notice that no one has tested whether organic fertilizer results in different growth rates for plants than non-organic fertilizer. You can sometimes find holes in the existing literature by looking for statements like “it is unknown” in scientific papers or places where information is clearly missing. You might also find a claim in the literature that seems far-fetched, unlikely, or too good to be true, like that caffeine improves math skills. If the claim is testable, you could provide a great service to scientific knowledge by doing your own investigation. If you confirm the claim, the claim becomes even more credible. If you do not find support for the claim, you are helping with the necessary self-correcting aspect of science. Examining these...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите тему. Подберите необходимую литературу. Изучите собранные материалы. Поднимите определенные вопросы. Ищите наводящую информацию, которая поможет вам ответить на эти вопросы.


Pick a wooden object to decorate, such as a piece of furniture, box, guitar neck, or practice block. For your inlay, you can use any thin, flat material, such as wood veneer, mother of pearl, or a small cut of bone or ivory. One dark and one light material will create a pleasing contrast and make gaps between them less noticeable. You may already have a piece in the size or shape you desire. If not, saw it into a simple shape.  Wear a respirator dust mask whenever you saw mother of pearl or other material that produces dangerous, sharp dust. Any type of sharp, well maintained saw will cut mother of pearl, but you should periodically dip the mother of pearl in water to prevent burn marks.  Limit yourself to simple freehand cutouts or tracing small geometric designs. See the instructions for complex designs if you want something more ornate. You can use double-sided tape or a tacky glue that takes a long time to set. This will keep the inlaid piece steady for you to trace and cut around.  Alternatively, you can trace your piece onto tracing paper and tape that onto the base. Particularly simple pieces which take little time to trace can be held in place manually if they are large enough to hold without cutting yourself. Use a pencil to trace the outline of your inlay onto the wood. Err on the side of making the design too small rather than too large. Using an x-acto knife or other hobby knife, cut into the traced lines.  Start by lightly scoring the wood to get a groove going. Once the groove is established, you can cut further down with less risk of your knife slipping along the wood grain. Only cut into the wood just deep enough to fit the entire inlaid piece. If you end up slightly shallow, you can sand the inlaid piece down. If you end up too deep, you'll have to sand the entire wooden surface to make it flush. Now that the edge is established, you can make a recess where the inlaid object will fit. Be careful not to cut too deeply.  Small simple designs can be recessed using hand tools such as a router...

Pick an appropriate greeting such as, "Good evening ladies and gentlemen." Then welcome the audience to the event using a phrase such as, "It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to our beautiful venue tonight." Keep the tone more serious if it's an important occasion. Use more formal language and don't crack any inappropriate jokes. For example, at a wake, you might say, "We're so glad to have you all here tonight. We appreciate your presence at this difficult time." Choose a simple and straightforward greeting such as, "Good morning everyone!" Express your gratitude towards the guests for attending by using a phrase such as, "It's so wonderful to see you all here on this sunny day." For an event with close friends and family, more informal language might be appropriate. Include a few jokes and keep your speech more lighthearted. Include the names of special guests that are part of the audience. Gesture to and look at the special guests as you mention them.  Special guests include any people of honor, those that may play a particularly important part in the event, or those who have traveled a long way to be there. Make sure that you practice all of names, titles, and pronunciations of the special guests before your speech.  For example you could say, "We'd like to extend a special welcome to our guest of honor, Judge McHenry, who will be speaking later tonight." Alternatively to welcome a group of people you might say, "While we're excited to have you all here tonight, we'd especially like to say welcome to the students from Johnson Middle School." Provide a short introduction to the name and purpose of the event. Say the name and age of the event if it's relevant, and talk a little about the organisation who is behind the event.  For an informal event such as a birthday party, you could say, "We're so happy to have you here tonight to eat, drink, and celebrate another year of Jessica's life. Now, let's get to it." For a more formal event such as one run by an organisation, you could say, “We are so excited to...

TL;DR in Russian:

На официальном мероприятии поприветствуйте присутствующих формально. Неформально поприветствуйте гостей в дружелюбном тоне. Поприветствуйте почетных или специальных гостей по-особенному. Перейдите к части представления самого события.


Pick an outfit that is appropriate for where you’re going. You also want to be yourself; don’t dress totally out of character. Consider which clothes you feel good in that present your best self and make you feel attractive and confident. Many girls notice style details. Don’t pair a great outfit with unworthy shoes. Pick kicks that are in good condition and go with your outfit as well as what you’re doing on your date. Wear fresh cologne. Have good dental hygiene – no bad breath! Make sure that your nails are clean and trimmed, and get a hair cut if you need one. Wear deodorant.  Don’t use cologne that you’ve had for longer than three years, as the oils can change and begin to smell stale. Avoid wearing both scented soap and cologne, as the smells can clash – stick with one or the other.  Apply cologne sparingly to the skin on your chest and neck right after you get out of the shower. Don’t put cologne on your clothes, walk through a cloud of it, or rub it in once applied.   Prevent bad breath by brushing your teeth, flossing, using mouthwash, and gargling with a half-teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in a small glass of water. If you’re driving, you’ll need your driver’s license. Bring cash or a credit card that covers more than you think you’ll need for expenses on the date.  For instance, people spend an average of $80 on a date, and that number may increase for special occasions like Valentine’s Day or a first date. If you live in a city where the cost of living is higher, that number can even double. Don’t plan to spend more than you can reasonably afford. Plan a budget-friendly date, if necessary, like sight-seeing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите наряд, в котором вам комфортно. Выберите красивые туфли. Приведите себя в порядок. Не забудьте взять кошелек.


Pick any shade of brown you like. If you don't know how much to buy, consult an expert at the fabric store. An average sized female will need around 2 yards (1.8 m). One of the edges where it's folded over will be your head hole. Fold over that corner. Cut your poncho to the desired length; remember to account for slits that will become fringe. This will depend on your height and your coverage preferences. Turn your material inside out before you begin cutting. Cut across the corner you previously folded over. Sew the open edge, creating a poncho-like shape. The other side is folded and doesn't need to be sewn. Turn it right side out again. If you're not comfortable eyeballing it (or don't have a lined sewing mat), turn it inside out and mark lines down the sides with a ruler and pen. The fringes can be any length, but they should be about 1" (2.5 cm) wide and evenly spaced. For a grown woman, fringes almost a foot long are appropriate if using a full torso-covering poncho. Use a skirt you have in your closet already for a rough pattern. The amount of material you need will depend on how long you want your skirt to be. An asymmetrical edge is the quintessential Pocahontas look. Aim for around the mid-thigh and end around the knee.  But again: remember to leave length for the fringe! Pocahontas' booty was not hanging out. Sew the edges about 2/3 of the way down, depending on your skirt length. This is because you'll be cutting away at the material anyway for the fringe. You won't need an entire seam sewn. You'll want fringe that looks similar to the one on your poncho. Use strips of similar width and length. They do not have to be perfect -- in fact, imperfect fringe may look better and not so geometrical.  Use an extra piece of fabric as a belt to keep the skirt up, if need be. The poncho should cover up the top of the skirt, so if you have an awkward issue, it can be easily remedied. If you have more material left over, cut fringes into it and stick it into your shoes or boots! Footwear? Check!

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите два отреза искусственной замши. Сложите одну часть материала пополам. Вырежьте область шеи. Нарежьте бахрому. Возьмите второй кусок материала для юбки. Вырежьте материал для юбки. Вырежьте бахрому.


Pick anything you want. Many people make slideshows out of family vacations, reunions, or other shared experiences. You could also choose to explore a favorite hobby or sport. Add structure. You certainly don't have to have a clear structure for a slideshow you're making for your own enjoyment, but if you'd like to make a statement about something or present information you've learned, it helps. Think about the way you would naturally explain your slides to a friend, and then organize them to reflect that. One of the best parts of making a slideshow for fun is that you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. For most people, that means a lot of pictures. Download them from the Internet or use your own photographs, as you like. If you're using images that might be copyrighted, be cautious. Most people aren't going to hunt you down and sue you for making a “Day at the Beach” family slideshow with a copyrighted image of a beach ball and uploading it to YouTube, but use common sense.  Give credit at the end of the slideshow whenever you can find the appropriate information. Don't use any images that are marked with the words “do not reuse without permission” or anything similar. Insert whatever sound and video clips you want. Go wild; this is your personal project. Again, be careful when using clearly copyrighted material. Try to keep clips short, and give credit where it's due. Yes, they're tacky. They're also kind of fun, especially with the sound effects turned on. If you feel like loading up your slideshow with cheesy transition effects, go right ahead. Even though you made it for your own benefit, you should check it before you show it to anyone else.  Be sure the color schemes you are using don't hurt your eyes. Check to make sure the slides are all in the order you want them to be in. Add captions to images if it makes sense, so you don't have to explain every picture.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите тему. Добавьте свои изображения. Добавьте медиа файлы. Используйте любые типы переходов. Просмотрите свою презентацию.


Pick eyeshadow that you don’t plan to use again. You can make nail polish from any color eyeshadow you want. You could even mix a few eyeshadow colors together to create your own custom shade.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите тени необходимого вам цвета.


Pick out either a sport coat or suit that looks good while also being relatively comfortable. While some baptisms may be more casual than others, if you are unsure about how dressy the event is, go for a suit. If you want to skip the sport coat, you can also generally wear a nice dress shirt and tie paired with some killer slacks. Baptisms are a happy occasion and your tie should reflect that. This doesn’t mean you should break out that tie covered in cartoon characters for the occasion. However, ties in light colors and fun patterns are definitely acceptable. Make sure your tie matches with the rest of your outfit’s color scheme. Shoes are an important part of every outfit--particularly an outfit that involves a suit. Ditch the sneakers and wear some dress shoes. Before the big day, buff your shoes up to give them a bit of shine. If you’re going to a party or reception after the baptism and really can’t stand being in a suit for very long, you could bring a change of clothes that still look nice but are more comfortable than a suit. An appropriate change of clothes would consist of a nice polo and some ironed khakis.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оденьтесь так, чтобы произвести впечатление. Выберите веселый галстук. Наденьте красивые туфли. Рассмотрите возможность взять с собой сменную одежду для приема.


Pick out fillets with the skin on, since it becomes deliciously crispy when you sauté fillets. Buy fillets with metallic pink skin and firm flesh. You will need 1/4 to 1/3 pound per serving size. Pat the fillets with a paper towel to make sure they're completely dry, then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil until it's hot, but not smoking. When the oil is hot, slip them into the pan. Cook them until the skin is golden brown, about three minutes. Monitor the heat while they cook to make sure the skin isn't getting burned. If it turns brown right away, reduce the heat. The fillets should cook on the other side for about three more minutes. The fish is done when it’s no longer translucent and flakes easily when poked with a fork. They're excellent with melted butter and lemon juice.

TL;DR in Russian:

Купите свежие филе красного люциана. Приправьте филе солью и перцем. Нагрейте оливковое масло на среднем огне. Добавьте филе кожей вниз. Переверните филе и закончите приготовление. Подавайте филе.


Pick out the woody bits of stem and separate the tender leaves and chop the parsley into 1/4" pieces. Then, blanch the parsley in boiling water for 20 to 30 seconds. Arrange the blanched parsley across the tray. Try to keep it flat and evenly spaced, with no big clumps of parsley sticking together. Turn the oven on to the lowest possible setting. The best time to do this method is after the oven has been turned off, following other baking. Otherwise, always err on the side of taking longer than having it too warm and burning the parsley. The exact time will vary based on the relative humidity in your area and the altitude. Keep an eye on it, because it might dry more quickly. It's ready when it crumbles easily in your fingers. Crush the parsley with your hands or in a mortar and pestle. Remove any remaining stalks. Store in a dry, dark place, or even the freezer. Parsley dried this way can be good for long periods of time, but will start to lose its flavor after several months.

TL;DR in Russian:

Помойте свежую петрушку в холодной воде. Положите лист бумаги на противень. Поместите петрушку в духовку. Сушка должна продолжаться 2-4 часа. Выньте петрушку из духовки. Положите сушеную измельченную петрушку в контейнер для хранения.


Pick shapewear that is designed to target your stomach area. Make sure that you get a size that is comfortable and that isn’t too tight. It’s best to try on shapewear in store rather than purchasing it online so that you can ensure that the size is right for you. Picking a smaller size in shapewear than what fits you won’t make your shape appear slimmer. Instead, you will just feel very uncomfortable and the shapewear can cause your bulges. Pick your favorite tops in a size that fits you well to pair with your jeans. The fabric should rest comfortably over your body without feeling overly clingy or tight. Avoid wearing tops that are baggy, as although you may feel more comfortable in them, they can make your belly look larger than it actually is and won’t work to accentuate the features that you like. Tailored tops that have structure are great for covering your belly. They will work with your figure to enhance it without making you feel self-conscious about your stomach. Pick tops, blouses, shirts, and tunics that have an element of asymmetry. This could be an asymmetrical pattern such as an animal or abstract print. Alternatively, tops with an asymmetrical hem or drapes are also very flattering to wear over jeans. Experiment with different styles of asymmetrical tops to see what you prefer. Asymmetrical tops help to give you style and shape while removing the focus from your stomach. Whether you have chosen a fitted or asymmetrical top to wear with your jeans, this is the most flattering length that will work to hide your stomach. Avoid tops that are longer than the top of your thighs, as these will look baggy and won't work to enhance the features that you like. Similarly, avoid tops that are shorter than your hips. These will draw attention to your belly. Belts draw attention to the area around them. This means that if you are wanting the focus of your outfit to not be around your stomach, it’s best to not wear a belt. However, if you are wanting to bring the focus of your outfit to your waist instead,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Наденьте под джинсы корректирующее белье, чтобы подтянуть живот. Наиболее выигрышно смотрится облегающий верх, а не свободный. Подберите к джинсам асимметричный верх. Рекомендуется выбирать блузки длиной до начала бедра. Не рекомендуется носить ремень на уровне бедер.


Pick something meaningful to you if possible such as your favorite flower or your dog. It is likely going to be easier for you at first to draw from a reference than from imagination, so drawing something you like will help you focus. When starting out, you don’t need specialty art supplies. Any pen, pencil, or paper on hand will do. Press your pencil lightly against the paper. Focus in on the line you will draw, forgetting what the subject is. Don’t think about your dog. Instead, start with an outline. The edge of your dog is a line between the dog and the environment. Make your line with short strokes.  The shorter you make your line strokes, the steadier your drawing will appear. Don’t critique your work. Move fast and hone your stroke. Once you have a basic outline of your subject, start drawing the interior. Search for landmarks on the subject, distinguishing marks such as a dent in a cup or a tuft of hair on a dog that will give you an idea of where to place nearby lines. Shading is a little more difficult, but it gives your drawings a sense of light and depth. Observe which way the sun shines on your subject. Start with a clean, sharp pencil and make even marks on partially dark areas. As the lead tip wears away, move towards the shadowed areas. Press harder to leave darker marks.  This can be practiced by doing a shading bar. Start at one end of the paper. Move your pencil back and forth as you move across the paper. Apply more pressure to transition to darker marks. Value bars are also good practice. Divide a rectangle into five sections. Leave one end white. Darken the other end as much as you can. Layer your lines in the squares in between to make different shades of gray.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите объект для рисования с натуры. Нарисуйте общий набросок короткими штрихами. Прорисуйте детали. Наложите тени.


Pick something that you know best, or learn about something new and tell the world what you have learned.   Determine what kind of educational video you want to make:  Will this be a “how-to” video, or will you be providing in-depth information on a particular topic? Will there be interactive activities, or will you be talking throughout the video?   Make an outline of how you want your video to proceed before you start filming. Adequate preparation for your educational video is key. Many people (especially those who are camera-shy) are more comfortable speaking in front of a camera once they have rehearsed what they want to say.  Make sure you have your facts correct. Before making an educational video, double-check to make sure that the information you will be providing is correct. You don’t know how many people will watch this video! The key to creating an educational video in which you seem like an expert is to be confidence in your message. The best way to gain this confidence is through repetition.   Practice in front of a mirror. Doing a run-through of your script with no one around to judge it can be a good way to iron out kinks and gain confidence. Practice with a friend, and have her give you feedback. It may be beneficial to have another person listen to your script before you film it and publish it. If possible, practice speaking from memory without the assistance of notes. Think about the message you are trying to convey, and locate any props that will make this message clearer and your video more stimulating.   Watch other educational videos to see if and how they effectively use props. While it is important not to directly copy any other video, you may be inspired by what you see on other videos. Remember that a prop can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. There are no specific guidelines to creating your own educational video! The props that you use in your video will be unique to the topic you are presenting. Remember that speaking in front of a camera can feel a lot different...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите интересующую вас тему. Подготовьте сценарий. Отрепетируйте материал по сценарию. Подготовьте декорации и реквизит. Проведите генеральную репетицию.


Pick the paper you will use to make your skeleton.  Printer paper works fine and is cheap and available. Cardstock will hold its shape better and last longer, but it is also more expensive. Paper plates are a good alternative material with more strength than printer paper. Locate an image of a skeleton to use as a model. You can find printable skeletons on-line. A cartoon skeleton will be easier to work with than a very detailed scientific picture. Separate out the parts of the skeleton that will make up your paper skeleton. Each part will be made out of one piece of paper, Cardstock, or paper plate.  Skull (head) Rib cage Pelvis 2 Upper-arm bones 2 Lower-arm bones with hands 2 Upper-leg bones 2 Lower-leg bones with feet

TL;DR in Russian:

Приготовьте бумагу. Найдите изображение скелета. Поделите скелет на части.


Pick things up off the floor, including rugs or anything that could trip a toddler. Changes in flooring are particularly treacherous for a new walker, so be on the lookout for rough floor transitions or uneven flooring. Dangerous floor can be easily covered with a foam play mat. Most play mats come in a variety of sizes and are made of connecting squares so that you can customize the mat to fit your space. Simply place the mat over the floor for a safer walking surface for your baby—no tools or installation required. Secure large pieces of furniture, like bookshelves and entertainment systems, to the wall. These large pieces of furniture can tip over easily if your baby walks into them or tries to climb them. Attach the furniture with special baby proofing furniture hooks, found at your local home supply store, or simply use a few extra screws and hooks to make sure everything is safely attached to the wall. Add padding to sharp corners, which are often at head level, and remove and replace dangerous pieces. Furniture made out of hard materials, such as glass and stone, can be especially harmful. Pre-made furniture bumpers can be purchased; simply slide these bumpers onto the dangerous surfaces. You can also make your own bumpers with quilt batting or pool noodles cut in half and slid over the rough edge. Now that your baby can stand up and walk, not even their own room is safe. Readjust the crib to the lowest position by removing the mattress and adjusting the bottom springs so they can't climb out in the night. Move the crib away from dangerous areas, such as windows and doors, or places where a child could climb or fall. Most children probably couldn't reach windows before they could walk, but now windows pose a great safety threat. Install window guards, or adjustable mesh screens to stop your child from being able to open the window and fall out. Window guards come with adjustable hardware that can be attached directly to the inside of the window or window frame. The result is a screen that doesn't block...

TL;DR in Russian:

Уберите все с пола. Уберите большую мебель, которая может легко упасть. Будьте внимательны с острыми углами мебели. Делайте так, чтобы ребенок был в безопасности, находясь в своей кроватке. Следите за окнами. Свяжите широкие шторы или тюль, чтобы избежать риска удушения. Не разрешайте, чтобы ребенок находился рядом с камином.


Pick through berries, cherries, and other fruits that you bring inside. Any damaged fruit should be discarded outdoors, since you could bring fruit fly eggs in from the grocery store or farmer's market. Wash your fresh fruit carefully with water and dry it completely before storing. Any small container with a teaspoon of cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of water, and a drop of two of dish soap will attract and drown fruit flies. This will help keep the population down. Rinse out the bowl and fill it with fresh mixture every day during fruit fly season. Fruit flies enjoy outdoor food sources as well. Covering entrances to your home with screens will help prevent them from coming into your kitchen. This is especially important if you have fruit trees in your yard. If you have fruit trees, pick fruit when it's ready rather than leaving it to rot on the branch or beneath the tree. Pick up or rake away a glut of fruit that has fallen to the ground beneath the tree, to discourage fruit fly infestation.  You can also slip an exclusion bag over the branches of the tree that are fruiting. The bag should allow light to continue to reach the fruit and air to circulate without allowing the fruit flies access to the fruit. Such bags can usually be obtained from places that supply organic growers. Purchase organic fruit fly sprays from a garden center or organic growing supplier. Such sprays will need to be reapplied regularly, due to their organic nature but this is the best non-toxic approach to growing healthy fruit. Fruit flies are deterred by the smell of certain essential oils that are pleasing to humans. The oils won't kill the flies, but they will keep flies from accumulating. Fill a spray bottle with a cup of water and five to ten drops of lemongrass, eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil. Spritz areas of the kitchen that tend to attract fruit flies, like near the sink and trash can.

TL;DR in Russian:

Внимательно осматривайте фрукты, которые приносите на кухню. Держите ловушку возле корзины с фруктами. Поставьте на окна и двери сетки. Выясните, что привлекает мушек на улице. Отпугивайте фруктовых мушек эфирными маслами.


Pick tomatoes that are firm, yet not hard. Avoid tomatoes with bug spots, bruises and other damage. You can use them, but you're going to have to do a lot more trimming. While you can use any breed of tomatoes, Roma tomatoes are the best for freezing purposes. They are meatier and contain less water. That means you get more thicker tomato sauce from them with less cooking time. Be sure to rub the tomatoes to remove any excess dirt. Pat the tomatoes dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. The area around the stem is usually tough, so remove it too. Cut off any damaged portion of the tomatoes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите помидоры: Вымойте помидоры, хорошо потрите их, чтобы не осталось земли. Уберите листочки и стебельки с помидоров.


Pick up a drying lotion at your local drugstore or supermarket. Look for something with antibacterial properties, and something that includes sulfur and salicylic acid. Use a q-tip to apply the lotion to any pimples and blemishes. Many believe lemon has antibacterial properties that can help clear acne fast. Squeeze some juice out of a fresh lemon. Then, dab a q-tip in the juice and dab onto problem areas. Leave on overnight and see if your skin has cleared up. Making sure you have high quality sleep may improve the appearance of skin the next day. Try to make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. You can start by powering down electronics, as the blue screen from phones and laptops have a stimulating effect on the brain. You should also have some kind of relaxing ritual, like reading, that you engage in before bed to help you wind down for rest. If you want your skin to clear up fast, make a habit of washing it each night before bed. Use a mild cleanser and lukewarm water to wash your face before bed at night. Wash gently, as excessive scrubbing can cause skin irritation.

TL;DR in Russian:

Обработайте проблемные места подсушивающим лосьоном. Нанесите лимонный сок и оставьте на ночь. Не отказывайтесь от здорового сна. Умойтесь перед тем, как лечь спать.


Pick up lines are seen as cheesy, and they often won’t leave a great impression on girls. Instead of trying to get a girl’s attention with a pick up line, give her a small compliment and introduce yourself. Then, if the conversation starts to fizzle out after you’ve both introduced yourself, try asking her a question about herself. If she’s wearing an eye-catching backpack, you could say, “Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I really like your backpack.” It’s easy for the conversation to feel tense and forced in the first few minutes. Ease up the tension and make her feel more relaxed by cracking a small joke.  For example, if you drop your math notebook while you’re talking to her because you’re nervous, say something like “As you can see, I’m extremely graceful. It’s one of my many good qualities,” to lighten the mood and ease your nervousness. If you aren’t a particularly humorous person, don’t feel like you have to force out a joke. Just talk to her like you would one of your friends. Ask girls intelligent questions about their qualities, their favorite topics in school, and/or the relationships they have with friends and family members. Asking these kinds of questions may make girls see you as someone who is interested, thoughtful, and capable of thinking on a deeper level. Consider asking, “What’s your favorite book? And what is it that you love about it?” or “What’s your favorite memory?” You could also ask, “What do you like most about your personality?” Bad manners and disrespectful behavior will scare girls away fast. Girls aren’t impressed by arrogance or inconsiderateness, so make sure to be kind and courteous to them and everyone around while you’re interacting with them.  If you’re talking to a girl and your friend interrupts you and asks you a question, say “I’m sorry. Excuse me for just a second,” to the girl and politely ask your friend if you can find them later to talk. Before asking a girl a question that’s personal, start with “If you don’t mind me asking…” If you’re both walking into...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните разговор с комплимента. Разрядите обстановку с помощью легкого юмора. Задавайте интересные вопросы. Будьте вежливы. Будьте искренни. Следите за тем, как развивается разговор. Старайтесь говорить не все время. Говорите на разные темы. Через какое-то время завершите разговор.


Pick up some over-the-counter eye drops intended to be used to treat allergies. These can cause your eyes to become dilated. Be sure to read the instructions, and never use more drops than the label recommends. Stimulants that work on the sympathetic nervous system can trigger your iris muscles to dilate your pupils. These include caffeine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylephrine. The last three are found in most over-the-counter decongestants. This is an over-the-counter drug you can find at pharmacies or anywhere that sells health supplements. While 5-HTP is generally safe, too high a dosage can cause dangerous effects from "serotonin syndrome." Stick within the recommended dosage, and avoid 5-HTP entirely if you are on LSD, cocaine, antidepressants, large B-vitamin doses, or other substances that increase serotonin levels. Some prescription eye drops can dilate pupils, but have serious side effects that should be weighed by a doctor. If you are going through methadone treatment or have a medical condition that constricts your pupils, ask your doctor for advice on how to counteract this. Some recreational drugs cause dilated pupils as well. These are illegal in most areas, and can come with additional health risks if combined with other substances that cause dilated or constricted pupils.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте глазные капли от аллергии. Пейте эспрессо или используйте антиконгестанты (средства против отека слизистой). Можете принимать добавки c 5-гидрокситриптофаном (5-HTP). Избегайте других препаратов, если только их не назначил врач.


Pick up something simple like flowers or candy. Give the gift to her before you ask if she’ll be your date. There won't be as much pressure on her to say yes if you stick with something simple, and she'll appreciate the kind gesture. Asking her in a romantic way will create a memory she won’t forget. One idea is to put a bunch of keys in a bucket and label one with the words “find the key to my heart.” Label it with your address, and hopefully she'll follow cue and come over to your house where you can finally ask her to the dance. Write your message on balloons and deliver them to her. Each balloon could have a different word on it (e.g.  one balloon each for “Will” “you” “go” “to” “the” “dance” “with” “me” “?”). You could also spell out your message in candy, like jellybeans or lollipops. Get permission (from the principal or her parent) to put the candy message in her locker or her bedroom. Get permission from her parents to decorate her driveway. Spell out your message, or simply put “Dance?” Get creative by using a variety or colors or illustrating your message. Design a treasure hunt with a map that will lead her straight to you. For example, draw a map of your school and add a dotted line leading to the parking lot. Wait there for her to arrive, and present her with flowers or candy for completing the hunt. Then ask her to the dance.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подарите ей маленький подарок. Будьте романтичны. Напишите приглашение. Напишите свое приглашение мелом. Придумайте свой план охоты за сокровищами.


Pick up the brick you want to butter using your non-dominant hand. Tip the brick downward at an approximate 45-degree angle.  The end you plan to butter should be tilted slightly upward. Note that you will only apply mortar to one end of the brick. Do not butter both ends. Invert the head of the trowel and slap the mortar onto one end of the brick using a downward motion.  Turn the trowel so that the mortar-side faces the end of the brick and sits at a nearly parallel angle. Starting from the top of the brick, slide the loaded trowel down the end, scraping the mortar off the trowel head and onto the brick end. Use the tip of the trowel to press the glob of mortar inward toward the center of the brick end.  Scrape around the perimeter of the brick end, as well, to remove any excess mortar from the sides. Try to keep the entire portion of mortar positioned directly over the end of the brick. When done correctly, the mortar should roughly form a four-sided pyramid on the end of the brick. Don't worry if the amount of mortar looks like a lot. Buttering the brick with excess mortar is actually a good thing because it ensures a tight, secure seal when you join the brick. The excess mortar is also easy to remove after you've set the brick, so it should not cause any problems later on.

TL;DR in Russian:

Возьмите кирпич. Нанесите раствор на один конец. Прижмите раствор по центру.


Pick up the bulk of the vomit with a couple of dry, folded paper towels, but take care not to squash the vomit particles down into the carpet. Using a spoon or knife may help. Start blotting and dabbing the vomit until the chunks and moisture are mostly gone. With each blot and dab, be sure to use a clean section of the towel; you may need more than one towel if the carpeted area is large. This will absorb the rest of the moisture that remains below the surface of the carpet. Cover the entire carpeted area with baking soda or corn starch. The baking soda or corn starch will likely dry within 2 hours, and they may become clumpy. Once the baking soda or corn starch is dry, use a vacuum to completely suck up the remaining particles. These cleaners are readily available in the cleaning aisle of your local store, or in the pet supplies aisle. Check the container before buying the cleaner to make sure it is enzyme based; this means the cleaner will break down the odor-causing proteins so they can be removed - a good example is Nature's Miracle. They are effective in removing stains, too. Spray the area with the cleaner until it is very damp. The cleaner container may say that the cleaner needs to sit for a longer or shorter period of time. Read the back of the container for specific instructions. Generally, 1-2 hours will allow the product to remove stains and odor. You may even want to keep your pet in a different room for the time being. Once the cleaner completely dries, it can be walked on again.

TL;DR in Russian:

При помощи бумажных полотенец максимально возможно уберите рвотные массы. Бумажными полотенцами или старой тряпочкой впитайте остаточную влагу с ковра. Посыпьте ковер пищевой содой или кукурузным крахмалом. Пропылесосьте пищевую соду или крахмал после высыхания. Воспользуйтесь ферментным очистителем для ковров. Оставьте чистящее средство на ковре на 1-2 часа. До высыхания ковра держите питомцев от него подальше.


Pick up the bulk of the vomit with a couple of dry, folded paper towels, but take care not to squash the vomit particles down into the carpet. with cold water. Fill a spray bottle with cold water, and spray down the carpeted area. Using a towel, start blotting and dabbing the vomit until the chunks and moisture are mostly gone. With each blot and dab, be sure to use a clean section of the towel; you may need more than one towel if the carpeted area is large. ix 2 cups of warm water and 1 tbsp of table salt together. Now that the vomit is mostly gone, prepare homemade carpet cleaner to finish cleaning the carpeted area. Warm up about 2 cups of water in a large microwave-safe bowl or cup. Stir in 1 tbsp of salt, and continue stirring until the salt is dissolved. Add these ingredients to the water and salt mixture. Mix all of these ingredients together in the bowl or cup. Dip a clean sponge repeatedly in the cleaning solution to saturate it with the cleaning substance. You will use this to continue cleaning the carpeted area. Again, if the area is large, you may need more than one sponge. Using small strokes, remove the rest of the vomit and any stains with the damp kitchen sponge. Just like before, with every stroke and dab, use a clean area of the sponge.  Each time you stroke the area with the sponge, you will be removing vomit. Rinse the sponge in the sink with warm water if it becomes completely dirty. You will likely want to throw the sponge you use away. . Now that the vomit is cleaned up, sprinkle the carpeted area with baking soda, completely covering the area you just cleaned. This will rid the carpet of any smells and will help the carpet dry. e dry. It may take several hours for the baking soda on the carpet to dry, and it will likely become clumpy. Keep your pets away from the carpeted area during this time. Once the area is completely dry, use a vacuum cleaner to completely suck up the baking soda.

TL;DR in Russian:

При помощи бумажных полотенец максимально возможно уберите рвотные массы. Почистите ковровое покрытие холодной водой. Смешайте два стакана теплой воды и 1 столовую ложку соли Добавьте ½ стакана белого винного уксуса, 1 столовую ложку жидкого мыла и 2 столовых ложки медицинского спирта.

Pick up the leaves individually, holding them by their ends. Add no more than 8 leaves to a bundle to ensure that they are able to get adequate air circulation for drying. Wrap the tie around the base of the stems to secure the bundle. Leave extra string for hanging or tie a new piece of string around the end of the bundle so that you can hang the sage. If you use a rubber band, it will tighten as the sage dries. This will prevent you from losing leaves. The bag will protect your herbs from dust, while the holes still allow for airflow around the leaves. Place the bag over the bundles, with the bottom open.  You can wrap them in muslin instead of a paper bag. However, do not use plastic, as it will cause mold.  Some people choose not to cover the herbs because they like the look of drying herbs, but you will need to watch for dust. The bundles should hang upside down from a string. Make sure that the place you choose gets good air circulation, such as an area near a fireplace or in a dry area of the kitchen.  It's best to dry the sage indoors for better flavor and color.  You can also air dry the sage on a paper towel. Lay out each leaf individually and change the paper towels daily.  Avoid moist areas of your home like the sink, stove, or dishwasher. Unhook the string holding the bundles and turn the sage around. Even if you think the sage is getting the same air circulation around the bundle, the sides of the sage bundles could dry at different rates. It's possible that one side will get better air or more light, causing it to dry faster. Herbs can quickly mold if left to dry in a moist area. You can still air dry herbs in humid areas, but carefully monitor the sage for mold. If you see any black spots or white patches, take the bundles down immediately. If you live in a very humid area, it may be better to choose a different drying method, such as a food dehydrator. Check your sage daily to evaluate the progress. Give your leaves the time they need to dry, as taking them down early could ruin them. Check...

Соберите листья в пучки. Свяжите пучки нитью, бечевкой или резинкой. Положите пучки шалфея в бумажный мешочек с проделанными в нем отверстиями. Развесьте шалфей в хорошо проветриваемом помещении вдали от прямых солнечных лучей. Переворачивайте листья раз в 1–2 дня, чтобы они высохли равномерно. Если вы живете в условиях высокой влажности, следите за тем, чтобы на листьях не появлялась плесень. Сушите пучки 7–10 дней. Проверьте степень сухости листьев. Очистите сушеные листья от насекомых и личинок.


Pick up the syringe in your free hand and rest the hub of the syringe (the open end) just behind the cat's lower fangs (the long teeth at the front of the lower jaw), angled over the tongue. Gently and slowly press the syringe's plunger so that about half a milliliter of fluid is dribbled into the cat's mouth.  Once you have put medicine in the cat's mouth, it will move its tongue and try to swallow. Some cats like to lower their head to swallow, so you may need to relax your wrist so that her head can drop down to a more natural position for swallowing. After the cat has had a chance to swallow, give it another half milliliter of medicine. Repeat this process until you have administered the full prescribed dose. Talk soothingly to the cat as you slowly unwrap the towel. Most likely, the cat will run off as soon is it can, but if it doesn't give it some affection and maybe a tasty treat. Rewarding the cat after giving it medicine will make it less resentful and make the task easier next time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Введите шприц или пипетку с лекарством кошке в пасть. Начните подавать лекарство. Закончите давать лекарство. Поощрите кошку.


Pick your favorite show, and make a list of things that happen at least once per episode. Pair each item on your list with an exercise. As you're watching, pause the show and do the exercise every time something on your list happens. Check out some sample games below.

Pick your hamster up and hold it in your hand against your body. Use your body heat to provide warmth for your hamster. Keep holding it for at least 30 minutes and see if there are any changes in their behavior or if they start acting more alert. Wrap your hamster in a towel with a water bottle full of hot water. Make sure the hamster is not directly touching the water bottle and doesn’t get too hot. This will help warm his body and bring him out of hibernation. Try placing your hamster on a warm heating pad that is heated to about 90°F (32°C) for 30-60 minutes. This will help your pet warm up quickly and help them come out of their state of hibernation. If you don’t have a heating pad, try putting your hamster on a towel on top of a radiator. This will have the same effect. Just make sure you monitor your pet closely and make sure the heat isn’t too much for it to handle. Once your hamster starts becoming more alert, even if only slightly alert, try to give it warm milk through a medicine dropper. You should heat the milk up in the microwave or on the stove but test it first to make sure it is not too hot. It should be tolerable to the touch. Feed it to your hamster in a bowl or in their water dropper container. Alternatively, you can try to give your hamster plain water, water with sugar, or children’s Pedialyte with a medicine dropper. Anything you can do to get them to ingest water is good. Rehydration will help your hamster come out of its hibernation state.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте тепло своего тела. Используйте грелку. Используйте коврик с подогревом. Дайте хомяку теплого молока.


Pick your snake up by the middle of the body and support it with both hands. When holding your snake, hold it away from your face. Pet it in the way the scales go; they don't like it the other way around.  Do not handle a snake after it’s eaten for 48 hours. Wash your hands after handling your snake. When your snake’s eyes glass over it’s time for it to shed. Your snake should not be handled at this stage; as they may resort to self-defense, wait until after the shed.  Corn snakes do not require misting or a humid hide to have a good shed. However, if they get stuck shed or they don’t shed in one piece it’s best to mist and provide a humid hide then. After a few days, your snake's eyes will return to normal and a few days after that the shed will happen. You may want to measure and laminate the shed as a record.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ухаживайте за своей змеей с осторожностью. Определите, когда змеи меняют кожу.


Picking a dentist is just as important as choosing any other health care professional. Ask your friends or co-workers if they have a dentist that they like. You can also get a lot of information from reading online reviews. When you visit your dentist, make sure he is willing to thoroughly answer all of your questions about the procedure you are interested in. Your dentist is likely to recommend a whitening procedure that utilizes a bleaching agent, which will most likely be in the form of a gel. Your dentist will make an impression of your teeth, and use that to make a mold that will fit your mouth. The gel will be placed into the tray, and you will keep the gel-filled tray in your mouth for a specific amount of time. This is a painless procedure, but you should still feel free to ask your dentist any questions or concerns you may have. Your dentist likely has these finishing strips, which are thin strips of sandpaper-like material that can be slid between your teeth and used to remove yellowing. The dentist will slowly pull the strip back and forth and up and down to polish your tooth. Because these strips are abrasive, it's best to let your dentist do this and not try it at home or you risk damaging your enamel.  Don't drink colored drinks (like wine, coffee, cola) after this treatment. Laser whitening is one of the newest methods that dentists use. It involves painting your teeth with a peroxide solution and then exposing the teeth to very strong light. This procedure is fast and painless; however, it can be pricey and your insurance might not cover the procedure. Make sure to ask your provider before scheduling a laser whitening. Many people have a fear of going to the dentist. If that sounds familiar, try going to a dental spa. These dentist's offices will be able to whiten your teeth, but they also include spa-like services. Think soft blankets and maybe even a little shoulder massage. This option is great for those nervous about any sort of oral procedure. Before you undertake any whitening process,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите стоматолога, которому вы доверяете. Используйте гель для отбеливания зубов. Используйте абразивные полоски. Попробуйте лазерный метод. Посетите центр косметической стоматологии. Учтите возможные риски.


Picking the most ideal frame for your face is not entirely up to you. Much is dictated by the natural features of your face. The most important aspect of this is your face shape. You can easily figure this out by looking in the mirror or taking a picture, and comparing it to a diagram.  Round face. With this shape, look into more toward square and rectangular frames that will make your face look slimmer and longer. Avoid frameless, oval, and circular frames. Oval. Pick frames with a strong bridge, and avoid large frames that will make your face look small. Square. To offset the angularity of your face, tend toward rounded or round frames. Diamond. You may not want to accentuate your narrow forehead, so don’t pick wide frames that call attention to this. Opt instead for small, rounded frames. Heart. To minimize how large your forehead appears compared to your chin, pick frames that sit low on the nose. This makes the center of your face seem lower. If this is not your first pair of frames, you probably have an idea of your skin allergies. Otherwise, your dermatologist can give you a test to determine this. If you are unsure and don’t want a test, there are materials that are more likely to break out your skin than others.  Plastic or synthetic. These frames are often designed to be hypoallergenic, meaning they are less likely to break out your skin. They also have a wide price range. A few examples are cellulose acetate/zylonite, cellulose propionate, and nylon. Metal. Metal frames vary, as far as skin allergies are concerned – some are hypo-allergenic, but others may break you out. Examples are titanium, stainless steel, beryllium, and aluminum. Other/natural materials. Wood, bone, and horn do not usually cause skin allergies. Most people fit into two basic categories for skin tone. To figure out if you have warm or cool skin tone, hold up a piece of white paper next to your face. If your skin seems yellowish, brownish, or bronze, you have a warm skin tone. If your skin seems pinkish or bluish, you have cool...

TL;DR in Russian:

Определите форму своего лица. Выясните, нет ли у вас кожной аллергии. Обратите внимание на свой тон кожи. Учтите цвет своих волос.


Picking up a dachshund is different than the way you'd pick up other breeds, but it's not especially hard once you learn the right method. Start by slipping a hand under the dog's upper body to support his chest and ribcage. Don't lift up yet. Spread your fingers out so that you support as much of the dog's upper body as possible. The wider the area you can spread his weight over, the gentler it will be on his spine. Gently slip your free hand under the dog's rump — either directly behind it or just in front of the dog's rear legs to support its lower body. Get ready to lift up. Here, again, it is best to spread your hand to give the widest base of support possible. Now, simply lift the dog up. As you go, try to keep the dog's lower body from hanging or drooping beneath his lower body. A little bending is fine, but you'll want to keep the dog's back as flat as possible to keep from putting stress on it. As you move around or play with your dachshund, make sure his lower back is well-supported at all times. Dachshunds aren't like other dogs — letting their lower bodies dangle is uncomfortable to them and can contribute to painful back problems (like slipped and ruptured discs) over time. Luckily, with a little practice, this should become second nature after a while. Eventually, it will feel "wrong" to pick the dachshund up in the incorrect way. As long as the dachshund's back is well-supported and his body is fairly straight, it doesn't really matter how you choose to hold him. If you'd like the convenience of being able to hold your dachshund with one arm, try shifting to this alternate hold once you've picked him up correctly by following the steps above:  Gently shift the dog's weight so that it comes to rest on the forearm of the arm that you were using to support his rump. Use your full forearm to support his weight. Tuck the dog against your body for added support and comfort. This should feel a little like how you would cradle a baby or hold a football. Use your free arm when needed to help the dog...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подведите одну руку под грудь собаки. Второй рукой подхватите попу собаки. Медленно поднимите таксу, сохраняя ровное положение ее тела. Продолжайте поддерживать спину собаки, пока держите ее на руках. При желании перехватите собаку одной рукой. Чтобы отпустить собаку, медленно опустите ее на пол.


Pickling is a process that removes oxidation and residues from jewelry, such as after soldering or in order to clean a heavily tarnished piece. Start by obtaining some distilled water, since minerals in tap water may react with the acid in the vinegar. You will need a safety mask, such as a particulate mask, as well as safety gloves. In addition, you will need a pot or crock pot that you don’t need for cooking, since it is not a good idea to use this pot for cooking afterwards.

TL;DR in Russian:

При травлении уксусом используйте дистиллированную воду. Подготовьте все необходимое.


Picnics are romantic, scenic, and a great change of pace. They can be simple—try sharing sandwiches on a park bench during her lunch break. They can also be elaborate. Pack a proper basket with a large, sturdy blanket you can both lie down on. Bring a full meal as well as water and white wine. Drive somewhere with running water, and chill the wine in the water while you set up your picnic.  Pack food you can eat with your hands and share. Great picnic foods include: pan-bagnat, a fresh baguette with ham and butter or fancy cheese, hummus and carrots, grapes, peaches, and chocolate. Shopping is boring, but hunting and gathering is fun. Stock up on flowers, produce, and artisanal delicacies at your local farmer's market. If your town doesn't have one, find one nearby and drive or take a bus. Farmer's markets are a great way to start a day together: go for breakfast, buy coffee, fruit, and pastry, and sit outside to enjoy the hustle bustle.  Find silly junk for one another at a flea market or a yard sale. You might find useful things, but the goal should be to enjoy the scenery. During harvest seasons, visit a U-Pick. Spend the day wandering the orchard or fields together, and pick only what you actually want. If you have the time, the money, and the guts, do something unusual from your shared bucket lists. Go bungee jumping, sky-diving, or snorkeling. Climb the nearest highest peak, or rent equipment and learn how to surf, ride dirt bikes, or skateboard. If you live in or near a city, take advantage of the cultural offerings. Check out famous monuments you've never visited, or haven't visited since you were a child. Visit the zoo and the local museums. See if your city has a “First Friday” and end the week by walking around looking at art. Cap it off with glass of wine or a nice dinner.

TL;DR in Russian:

Устройте пикник. Посетите фермерский или блошиный рынок. Отправьтесь на поиски приключений. Воспользуйтесь преимуществами жизни в городе.


Picture all of the people and parts that go into making the movie that you can’t see on screen. Remind yourself that the whole world of the movie isn’t real and is just an elaborate construction of the cast and crew.  Picture the director yelling out orders behind the camera, all the other people controlling lights, sound, and props on the set, and the actors messing up and laughing between takes. Ask yourself questions like “How did they do that makeup?” or “I wonder how long it took to get that scene right?” Pay attention to the moments or elements in a scene that make it apparent that the movie is fake, ridiculous, or even poorly made. This can help turn scary moments into funny ones.  Look for clearly fake effects, like overly-bright blood, bad makeup, and computer-generated graphics. Or keep your eye out for continuity errors or other mistakes in filming, like when something appears in one take but suddenly disappears in the next. Even if the movie is well-made, you can laugh at the overly common themes or ideas that appear in most horror movies, like the “Don’t go in there!” moments where a protagonist always enters a room with the enemy or monster. Distract yourself with other thoughts, or even talk to someone about something other than the movie if you can. Keep your thoughts pleasant and focused on the real world.  Focus on simple things, like recalling what you had for breakfast that morning, counting numbers, or going through some other sequence that’s meaningless and has nothing to do with the themes of the movie. Think about what you’ll do after the movie. You can plan to reward yourself for getting through the scary movie with something fun and enjoyable afterwards.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте о процессе съемки фильма. Находите забавные моменты. Думайте о других вещах.

Piercing your lip will be painful, and the piercing may cause bleeding. The area may be tender, swollen, and bruised for several days afterward. Lip piercings can take anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks to heal fully, so be prepared for multiple daily cleanings during that time, plus regular upkeep after that. Cleaning your lip piercing is pretty straightforward, but it will require non-iodized salt, alcohol-free mouthwash, and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pick up a new toothbrush as well—one with soft bristles—and replace your old one after getting your piercing. Before getting your lip pierced, know what to look for regarding infections. Symptoms include pus, green or yellow discharge, tingling or loss of feeling around the piercing site, fever, and excessive bleeding, pain, redness, and swelling. Leave the jewelry in if you suspect an infection, but seek medical attention immediately. Body jewelry often contains nickel, which is a common allergen for many people. Symptoms will likely appear within 12 to 48 hours, and can include itching and swelling, crusty or scaly blisters, and redness, rash, or dry skin.  Your lip piercing won’t heal properly if you are allergic to the jewelry, so go to the doctor immediately if you suspect an allergy. If you can’t wear necklaces, earrings, rings or bracelets containing nickel, you won’t be able to wear it in your lip, either. Look for jewelry labeled “surgical steel” or “nickel free.” In addition to nickel, some people may be allergic to copper or brass. These 3 base metals cause the majority of allergic reactions to jewelry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Знайте, чего ожидать. Заранее купите все необходимое для чистки прокола. Распознайте симптомы инфекции. Узнайте, как выглядит аллергическая реакция.


Pigeons are natural scavengers who thrive off the waste that humans leave behind.  If you maintain a clean property, free of food scraps and loose fruit and vegetation, you are decreasing the chance that pigeons will roost by your home or apartment building. While this may not prevent the pigeons from occasionally traveling through, they probably won't be sticking around long. Make sure you have trash cans and/or dumpsters that can close. This will keep pigeons and other pests away. Place fence or netting around the areas where pigeons roost.   Placing these types or netting and wire around the ledges and perches of your property will effectively encourage pigeons to set up shop elsewhere. Before they set up residence, you can cover ledges and other roosting spots with sheet metal. Set this at an angle as it will be difficult for pigeons to roost on a slope. You can also prevent pigeons from roosting with bird netting. This will keep pigeons at bay without harming them. Place bird netting around trees and barn rafters. These are rows of small spikes that prevent pigeons from congregating and roosting.   These strips of spikes. are placed around the perimeter of large buildings. They are spaced out specifically to prevent pigeons from resting and roosting on roofs and fences. These are relatively inexpensive and humane. These are essentially the equivalent of scarecrows, but designed for pigeons.   These come in many different forms, from fake owls to flying model hawks. Pigeons may get used to a model owl sitting in one place for a long period of time. The most effective kind are model hawks attached to a kite with streamers. These will move in the wind and trick pigeons into thinking a predator is near.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поддерживайте свою собственность в чистоте. Выгоните их из их места скопления. Приобретите колючки для птиц. Используйте “отпугиватель голубей”.


Pigeons won't appreciate the force or concentration of the water being targeted at them. Spray the birds when they first arrive. If you wait until they set up house, it will be too late.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поливайте голубей водой из садового шланга.


Pile them up aside. Clean, wipe and dust the shelves and entertainment centre. Organize everything how you want it. Put books in height order; smallest to tallest. Dust all books without using cleaning products, just a clean cloth (DRY).  Do not get the sockets wet. Do not get water on anything electrical because it may damage the item.

TL;DR in Russian:

Снимите и отключите все содержимое. Снимите с полок все книги и отложите в сторону. Используйте подходящие моющие средства. Наведите порядок. Сложите все обратно. Подключите обратно все приборы.


Piling on the necklaces, bands and bracelets is a great way to inject some emo style into a plain outfit. You should aim to wear at least three different necklaces and pile as many bands and bracelets on your wrists as possible. Experiment with different styles and colors for a really eclectic feel.  Look for jewelry featuring chains, spikes, bats, beads and broken or bleeding hearts.     Wristbands featuring the name of your favorite band are cool, and you can introduce a little color to your mainly black look with some bright neon accessories.    Studded belts are a staple of any emo wardrobe, as they make every outfit look instantly edgier. Go for black, white or neon belts with metallic studs. The belts should be extra skinny - that way you can fit two or three of them through the loops in your pants for an interesting layered look. Note that these belts shouldn't really be used to hold up your pants, they're more of a fashion statement. Pins are a cheap and easy way to add interest to an outfit, while also expressing your personality. You can get any type of pin imaginable - ones featuring the names of your favorite bands, ones with brand logos, ones with funny (and offensive) slogans and ones displaying cartons and artwork. The great thing about these pins is that you can easily transfer them from one item of clothing to another, instantly adding emo cred to your outfit.  The best places for pins are on the lapels of a jacket, the pockets on shirts, on thin, striped ties, on beanie hats and fedoras and on the pockets and straps of backpacks. Another cool thing about pins is that you can trade them with friends, so your collection is always changing and growing. If you want, you can add designs to the nail. You should consider painting them on a Friday night so they're nice and chipped by the time school rolls around on Monday morning, just the way you want them. If you like, you can add a pop of color by going for bright neon shades like green or pink. This will do nothing to harm your emo cred -...

Pin curls and victory rolls were a popular look for most pin-up girls. Curls were often achieved by a “permanent” which made hair easier to mold into a curl, but you can achieve this look without chemicals.  To get pin curls: dab gel onto the root of a small section of damp hair, then twirl that section of hair around your finger until you get to your scalp. (You can twirl in whatever direction you’d like the curls to flow.) Slide your finger out of the curl and pin the curl to your head. Repeat for your entire head of hair, allow hair to dry, then remove pins, and voila!  You can find many authentic vintage ways to style your pin curls online. There are also books that show you how to do these hairstyles. You can also use hot rollers or a curling iron to create curls, although it will take some practice to get the right look. If your hair is too short or you don’t want to go through the effort of styling, try a wig in a pin-up style of your choice. These can easily be found online. Pin-up girls’ hair should generally be kept soft and simple, with minimal product use, but feel free to have some fun and add a little bit of personality to your look with hair accessories. Good options include a hair flower, bandana, or large bow.  You can also use a snood or a pin.

TL;DR in Russian:

Накрутите волосы. Рассмотрите возможность надеть парик. Добавьте украшения.


Pinch the fabric between your thumb and your two fingers. The section of fabric you are squeezing should be where the two sides of the band overlap. If you are only grasping one layer of fabric, nothing will happen when you try to unhook the bra.

TL;DR in Russian:

Большой палец должен находится с другой стороны тканевой полоски.


Pinch the head between two finger with one hand, and hold the tail with your other hand. Give the head a twist until it comes off. The head should twist off easily. If it doesn't, the crawfish may not be fully cooked. Place the open part of the head between your lips and suck out the juices. This part of the crawfish is considered a delicacy in the Southern United States. The head may be discarded if you are squeamish about eating it. Pinch the shell that covers with the tail with your fingers to crack it all over. Remove the shell and discard it. Hold the tail with one hand and peel back the outer layer of skin from the top of the crawfish with your other hand. The digestive tract will be pulled off with the tail. Discard it. The tail meat is the most substantial part of the crawfish, and can be eaten right away or used to make other crawfish dishes. Crawfish étouffée, a traditional Cajun dish, and crawfish pizza are popular in the South. Most crawfish have small claws that can be cracked open and sucked for their meat and juices. Larger crawfish have large claws with pieces of meat that can be pulled out and eaten.

TL;DR in Russian:

Отделите голову от хвоста. Высосите содержимое головы. Разломайте панцирь на хвосте. Вытащите жилки. Съешьте хвост. Высосите содержимое клешней.


Pinch the skin to raise it up off the organs underneath, and make an incision with you knife so you can remove the organs very carefully. Pinch the skin up as high as you can, and make your incision, then insert two fingers to keep lifting the skin up and away as you keep slitting the belly open, up to the rib cage.   When you reach the rib cage, you'll also need to cut through the breast bone to open up the cavity and expose the organs on top. You should be able to run your knife up through the break through the ribs easily. Rabbit skin is quite transparent, so you should be able to see the organs underneath quite clearly at this point. What you want to be very careful to avoid specifically is the urine sac and the colon, either of which will ruin the meat, if pierced. Be prepared for some odor. The body-cavity of a wild rabbit won't smell like petunias. It's not indicative, however, of anything wrong with the meat. Up toward the ribcage, you'll notice a small transparent membrane keeping the heart, liver, and other major organs intact. At the very top of the ribs, you might need to cut through the membrane to remove it slightly to make the organs come out more easily. This isn't always necessary, but it'll make it much easier to let gravity do the work of removing the organs for you. With one hand, pick up the carcass of the rabbit, so the back feet are pointing at the ground. With your other hand, insert two fingers at the very top of the ribcage and scoop the organs out with a gentle but firm downward motion. They should fall right out with the help of gravity, preferably into a bucket for easy clean-up.  Some hunters like to pay special attention to removing the urine sac before the rest of the organs, especially if it appears to be quite full. The urine sac looks like a small pale yellow balloon, near the anus. To remove it, pinch it firmly where it connects to the carcass, and only where it connects, then pull it away, being very careful to avoid squeezing it and popping it. The heart, liver, and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Аккуратно сделайте небольшой надрез на коже в области живота. Отделите оболочку, держащую органы. Держите тушу выше, чтобы вытащить органы наружу. Оставьте себе те органы, которые хотите. Промойте тушу и уберите за собой.


Pineapple is one fruit that may trigger labor. It contains bromelain, which may help soften and “ripen” the cervix. This is a key stage in bringing on labor. Eat pineapple plain, drink pineapple juice or make a fruit smoothie with pineapple. Some people swear by spicy foods as a catalyst for labor. Mexican food or foods with hot chilis might help bring on labor. Be careful that these foods don’t give you indigestion in this late stage of pregnancy. Some research show that eating spicy foods might actually stave off labor, thanks to the capsaicin in some spicy foods. Capsaicin overtake naturally-occurring endorphins that help relieve pain. Black licorice is said to stimulate labor. Get natural licorice that contains less sugar. You can also get licorice in pill form. Licorice can stimulate cramps in the bowel by having a laxative effect. Bowel cramps may help induce uterine cramps. When you eat enough garlic, you may stimulate your bowels. This can cause you to empty your bowels, which gives room for the baby to move lower in your body. Once the baby moves down, it engages more with your uterus and cervix, readying your body for labor. Prepare foods with lots of garlic, as long as it doesn’t give you indigestion. Foods that are rich in fiber will help you avoid being constipated. If you are constipated, you will have a full bowel or rectum, which takes up space that the baby may need to move lower down in your body. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables during the last few weeks of your pregnancy. Eating prunes and other dried fruits can help as well. This tea can strengthen and tone the uterus, and can help the muscles start to contract. Brew a cup by pouring 6 fluid ounces (180 mL) of boiling water over one tea bag. Let it steep for 3 minutes. Let it cool and drink. Make red raspberry leaf iced tea in the summer for a refreshing drink. Cumin can be used for digestive problems and also to start menstruation and to relieve bloating. Brew a cup of tea using cumin seeds to bring on labor. Add some sugar or honey...

Ешьте ананасы. Ешьте острую пищу. Ешьте лакрицу. Ешьте чеснок. Ешьте больше клетчатки. Пейте чай из малиновых листьев. Пейте тминный чай.


Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is another common cause of itchy eyes. If your eyes are just itchy, you likely don't have pink eye. However, if your itchiness is combined with multiple other symptoms, you may have pink eye. These can include:  Redness Burning Liquid discharge from the eye, which can be white, clear, gray, or yellow Swelling Watering Gritty feeling Pink eye can be either viral or bacterial and it is highly contagious for up to two weeks. You want to get it treated as soon as you can so you lower the risk of passing it on. See your doctor at the first signs of pink eye. Your doctor will examine your eye and decide what kind of pink eye you have. If he suspects a larger issue, he may run additional tests. Most cases of pink eye are caused by a viral infection, but if your doctor decides you have bacterial pink eye, she may prescribe antibiotics. These can reduce the time you have bacterial pink eye from a week to a couple of days. However, antibiotics will not work on viral pink eye. There is no treatment for viral pink eye since there is no cure for viruses. Your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication if your pink eye is caused by certain forms of viruses. For these cases, and for any type of pink eye, follow the simple home remedies that work for eye allergies, such as cold compresses, contact removal, and limited eye contact or rubbing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите симптомы. Проконсультируйтесь с врачом. Принимайте антибиотики. Используйте домашние средства.


Pinning your victim is crucial to your tickling success. If your opponent has free arms and legs, he will be able to get you back in no time. You must find a way to quickly pin and trap your opponent so you can exploit your tickling skills. You can try pinning your opponent a number of ways:  Pin your opponent's arms over his head with your legs when he is laying down on his back. Sit on your opponent's chest and pin his arms down with your hands. Pin your opponent by sitting on his knees or grabbing his ankles when he's on his back. Pin your opponent by sitting on his back when he's on his stomach, and pushing his arms to the ground. If you're tickling so your opponent agrees to do something, don't stop until you get what you want. Whether you're tickling your opponent for control of the remote, a free massage, or a dinner date, don't stop until he gives in. Don't stop just because your opponent says, "I can't breathe!" If he's laughing and can speak, then he's still breathing. But if he really can't breathe and sounds distressed and winded, then you should stop.

TL;DR in Russian:

Умейте пригвоздить свою жертву. Найдите наиболее чувствительные к щекотке места на теле своей жертвы.


Pinpoint the actual feelings you are having and why you are having them. Try to understand yourself. When did these feelings of resentment start? Was there one event or several that caused you to feel this way? Is your resentment relating to one person, such as a partner, or to several people, like your parents or family? Recognizing the root of your resentment will help direct you in how to overcome it. For example, if you feel resentful because someone close to you disappointed you or let you down, your solution may be to change your expectations about people. Obviously, you cannot change other people, so the resolution lies in changing yourself or learning to accept what has happened. Sometimes, we are resentful of others because we are upset that we made ourselves vulnerable enough to get hurt. Deep down, we may feel confused or embarrassed that we did not somehow see this situation coming. We feel rage that we let our guards down and trusted someone who hurt us. In a sense, we get angry with ourselves for being human. As one quote vividly states, "resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die." You have the power to either move on from resentment or stay in this place of bitterness. Recognize your power and avoid putting all the blame on the other person. Coveting or feeling that you should possess what another has, whether superficial or innate, can lead to bitter feelings.  If you are resentful towards someone because they have something you wish you had, then it is unhelpful to take these feelings out on this person. You need to come to terms with what you feel is lacking in your life in order to overcome this form of resentment.  An example of envy that leads to resentment is becoming angry at a coworker who received the promotion you were vying for. Perhaps you felt you were entitled to the promotion because you've been on the job longer. Overcome envious resentment by being honest with yourself and taking action. Is it this person that is really making you angry or is it...

Поговорите с другом или с человеком, которому доверяете. Запишите, что сделал этот человек, чтобы вас расстроить. Расскажите обидчику о том, как он вас расстроил.
