If you want to take your cat to the vet without a crate, you need to get him used to being in the car without his crate. If you get a cat as a kitten, it's much easier to introduce him to the car.  Kittens tend to adjust to new experiences much faster than adult cats. If possible, start training your cat to travel when he's less than a year old.  If your cat is older, you can still train him to travel in the car safely. It just might take a little more time. Slow introductions work best, as a car can be a frightening environment for a cat. Introduce him to the car in intervals. Bring your cat into the car when it's not running. Keep him calm and give him treats and attention as he adjust to a new environment. Spend a couple of weeks letting him explore the car in short intervals and familiarizing himself with this new territory. Once your cat is used to the car, you should transition into driving with him.  First, try turning on the engine and letting him get used to the noises it makes.  After he's used to the engine, practice short drives. Even driving the car around the block is enough. As your cat adjust to being in the car, you can practice longer drives. It's a good idea to do a few test drives to the vet's office to get your cat used to the route before any appointments.  Use positive reinforcement in the form of treats and praise throughout the process. Even the most calm cats can cause problems in the car if frightened. Alternatives to carriers, like bags or baskets, can be used to secure a cat so he does not cause problems for you driving. You can also have a harness or strap to safely secure him to the seat. You do not want your cat to crawl under your feet or the break/gas pedal while you're driving as this could easily cause an accident. If you do not have a car, you'll need to get your cat used to public transportation before you take him to the vet's office. You can practice short trips on a bus, train, or subway. However, understand the vast majority of public transportation options in a city...

TL;DR in Russian:

По возможности начинайте с юного возраста. Последовательно приучайте кошку к автомобилю. Попрактикуйтесь возить кошку в машине, перед тем как отвезти ее к ветеринару. Примите меры предосторожности. Приучите кошку к общественному транспорту.


If you want to tell someone who means well to leave you alone, then it’s important to find a nice, quiet place to do it. Whether the person is someone who has a crush on you or just an annoying classmate, if you feel comfortable around the person, then you should try to tell him or her in a quiet place where you can be alone without the threat of someone coming in and asking what’s happening. You should also find a time when the person you want to talk to isn’t distracted, busy, or stressed out, so the conversation goes as well as it can.  Though it’s important to find a good place and time if you care about the person you’re talking to, you also shouldn’t wait around forever for the perfect time to come along. It’s important to get the message across so you can both move on with your lives. If you feel more comfortable having a friend there for support, then that’s fine too. Don’t put yourself in an uncomfortable situation if you’d rather not be alone with the person. Once you get the person alone, it’s important to be open and honest about the fact that you want to be left alone. If the person has a crush on you and you don’t return those feelings, then say so. If the person is your neighbor or classmate who always wants to hang out and you’re just not interested, then get the point across. Say it loud and clear so there can be no mistake that you just don’t want to see the person.  For example, if the person is a girl who has a crush on you, you can say, “I’m sorry that I don’t return your feelings. I’m flattered, but I’d like to be on my own.” If the person is an annoying person who keeps trying to hang out with you, just say, “I’m sorry, but I’m just not interested in spending time with you. I thought you should know.” If the person has actually done things to annoy you or make your life difficult or if you’ve already given him or her a few chances, then you can say this to get the message across. If you’re nervous about what to say here, then practice in advance. It’s natural to be a little bit, or...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подберите нужное время и место, чтобы поговорить с человеком. Объясните, почему вы хотите, чтобы вас оставили в покое. Оставайтесь спокойным. Не извиняйтесь. Будьте честным, но постарайтесь не сделать человеку больно. Дайте сказать и человеку также. Убедитесь, что человек понял то, о чем вы его просите. Поблагодарите человека за разговор.


If you want to throw cards straight off the deck, hustler-style, grip the deck firmly with the long side of the cards in the palm of your hand, the short sides perpendicular with your body.

If you want to tone your back and reduce back fat, you'll need to reduce your overall body fat.  Cutting back on the calories you eat each day will help you lose that excess fat.  Take a few days to track your calories.  Use an online food journal or smart phone app to help you.  This will give you a starting point. Subtract about 500 calories from your typical or average daily calorie intake.  Cutting out this many calories is a good way to lose weight and excess body fat. Restricting calories by about 500 calories each day generally results in a weight loss of one to two pounds per week. Even you're losing weight or even just trying to tone up your body, eating a balanced diet is an important part of your plan.  This will help ensure you're consuming most of the recommended nutrients each day.  A balanced diet is one that includes each food group most days.  In addition, you should eat a wide variety of foods from each food group. When you restrict certain food groups or completely avoid them, you're at risk for getting nutrient deficiencies. Protein is essential for weight loss.  It helps keep you satisfied, supports your metabolism and can help support your lean muscle mass.  Including three to four ounces (or 80 to 120 grams) or a card deck sized portion of protein at each meal will help you reach your daily recommendations. Lean protein sources are lower in fat and calories making them a great component of a weight loss or fat reduction plan. Choose items like:  poultry, eggs, low-fat dairy, lean beef, seafood, legumes and tofu. Vegetables are low-calorie, filling, and full of vitamins and minerals.  Aim to make 1/2 of your meals and snacks a fruit or a vegetable.  It's typically suggested to eat about five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables each day.  Eating one to two servings at every meal and snack can help you meet this goal. Both fruits and vegetables are great foods to include in your weight loss plan because they can help fill you up for very few calories. If you're going to eat a grain,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сократите количество употребляемых калорий. Начните питаться хорошо сбалансированной диетой. Сконцентрируйтесь на употреблении чистого белка. Употребляйте фрукты и овощи. Ешьте цельнозерновые продукты.


If you want to treat an older woman right, then you absolutely have to be a gentleman. This may be a foreign concept to you, but all it really means is that you should treat her like a lady and give her kindness and respect. If you pick her up in your car, hold the passenger door open for her, and hold the door open for her if you enter a restaurant or any other location. If she comes over, take her coat and hang it up. Here are some other ways to be a gentleman:  Show up on time, or even a little early. Let her see that she means a lot to you. Always complement her. Tell her she looks stunning, beautiful, or however she may look that day. Don't be embarrassed to tell her what you really think -- this will win her over as long as you do it in moderation. Don't spit, scratch yourself, burp, or do other un-gentlemanly things. Always look nice. Make an effort to shower, groom yourself, and to wear unwrinkled and well-fitting clothing. This will show her that you've put thought and effort into seeing her.  Take her out on nice dates. Don't take her to the local Burger King. You may not have a lot of spending money, but you should make an effort to do something that is at least romantic, even if it's eating at a dimly-lit sushi bar or taking a long walk on a starry night. Don't make her think that you just have a fetish for older women and that being with her or talking to her means you've won some kind of prize. Instead, you should ask her about her interests, what she likes to do on the weekends, and about the relationships that mean the most to her. As you're getting to know her, you don't have to pry or interview her, but you should show that you want to know who she really is -- it's cool that she's four years older than you, but that's not her defining characteristic.  When you see her, ask her how her day was. It can be as simple as that. Ask her opinion on a variety of subjects, from her favorite bands to a new political candidate. Older women tend to be more confident and experienced than younger women,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ведите себя, как джентльмен. Показывайте не поддельный интерес к ней. Поддерживайте интересную беседу. Не нужно постоянно упоминать о разнице в возрасте. Не забывайте быть собой.


If you want to try a low-carb diet that has been around for a while, then the Atkins diet is a great choice. This diet also claims that it will help you lose 15 pounds (6.8 kg) in the first 2 weeks, so Atkins is a great plan if you are hoping to drop a large amount of weight quickly. The South Beach diet was developed by a cardiologist and it claims to help you develop a healthier way of eating while also promoting weight loss. Also, the South Beach diet does not restrict carbs as intensely as some other diets, so it may be easier to follow and stick with it. This diet plan focuses on getting your daily intake to 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs.  This will force your body to use fat for energy and promote quick weight loss.  A ketogenic diet has long been known as beneficial for people with epilepsy. However, following the diet may also help to prevent Alzheimer’s, stroke, dementia, and traumatic brain injury.  Some people experience negative side effects as they transition to a very low-carb diet, such as brain fog, fatigue, and moodiness. The Dukan diet is one of the most structured low-carb diets, which some people find helpful. In the first 10 days of this diet, you only eat lean protein, oat bran, and water. After that you can include non-starchy veggies, a serving of fruit, a serving of whole grain, and hard cheeses. You may lose 10 pounds (4.5 kg) or more in the first couple of weeks, and then about 2 pounds (0.91 kg) to 4 pounds (1.8 kg) pounds after that. Keep in mind that any time a diet has a lot of restrictions, you are at risk of nutritional deficiencies. You cannot have any dairy, grains, potatoes, or processed foods on this diet, but you can eat lots of meat, veggies, roots, fruits, and nuts. The whole foods approach of this diet is healthy and you will get to eat plenty of food to stay full and satisfied.  The goal of the Paleo diet attributes many of the health issues people have today, including obesity, with the modern agricultural diet that includes dairy and grains.

TL;DR in Russian:

Классической низкоуглеводной диетой является диета Аткинса. Выберите диету южного пляжа, если вы хотите развить более здоровые привычки питания. Попробуйте соблюдать кетогенную диету, богатую хорошо утоляющими голод жирами. Попробуйте диету Дюкана, если вы любите системность. Попробуйте соблюдать палеолитическую диету, если вам нравится натуральная пища.


If you want to try something in your home before buying a specific fabric cleaner, you can try laundry detergent. Mix laundry detergent with hot water. You can place it in a spray bottle or dampen the seats with the solution with a sponge. To help rinse the laundry detergent, wet a microfiber towel with cold water. Squeeze out the excess water and scrub the seat to remove dirt and detergent. White distilled vinegar can be used to make a fabric cleaner. Mix one cup or 250 mL of vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and a gallon or 4 liters of hot water. Dab this mixture onto the seat and use a brush to clean the area. Use clean water to rinse the solution. Use a microfiber towel to remove any dirty suds. Baking soda can be used as a cleanser and help get rid of unpleasant smells on cloth seats. Mix ¼ cup or 60 mL of baking soda with one cup or 250 mL of warm water. Place a light layer of the solution on the seats. Use a toothbrush to work over the stain. This can help with really difficult stains. Leave on for 30 minutes for tough stains that are stuck in the cloth. After half an hour, blot away the stain with a clean towel. Club soda can be used to get rid of stains on cloth seats. You can spray a light layer of club soda on the stain and use a brush to remove the stain. Reapply as needed, making sure to wipe the excess as it comes to the surface. Club soda is good for vomit stains.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте стиральный порошок. Используйте уксус. Приготовьте раствор из пищевой соды. Используйте газированную воду.


If you want to use baking soda as a deodorizer, it's a good idea to soak it in a baking soda solution overnight. This gives the baking soda time to really go to work getting tough smells out of your laundry. It works well for clothes, towels and other items that that are smokey, musty or sweaty.  Mix a cup of baking soda with a gallon of water. Pour it into a bucket. Add your clothes to the bucket. Give them a swirl to make sure they get completely soaked. Top them off with more water if necessary. Let them soak overnight. They'll be ready to launder the next day. Place your dirty laundry (and pre-soaked items) into the washing machine. Add detergent as usual. Begin the wash cycle so that the machine begins to fill with water. Allow it to fill completely before continuing.  If you're washing clothes that smell musty, hot water will be most effective at removing smells. Musty smells are normally caused by mold spores. Hot water will kill the spores. Cold water should be used for delicates and colorful items. Pour it straight into the filled washing machine so that it dissolves into the water. Finish running the wash cycle as usual.  For an extra-large load of laundry, you can add up to a cup of baking soda. Adding a cup of white vinegar will enhance the baking soda's deodorizing effects. This is the best way to dry clothes that previously smelled musty, smoky, or sweaty. Drying in the sun and wind will help to freshen them. Even on a cold day in winter, you can dry your clothes outside. Just choose a place that gets plenty of sun.  If you'd prefer not to dry your clothes outside, use the dryer instead. When the dry cycle is finished, smell your clothes to see whether they need to be treated again. If they come out of the dryer still smelling musty, choose a sunny day to wash them again and hang out them out to dry.

TL;DR in Russian:

При необходимости предварительно замочите вещи. Начните загрузку белья. Добавьте 1/2 стакана пищевой соды в загруженную машинку. Сушите одежду на улице.


If you want to use herbal remedies for your kidney stones, talk to your doctor first. Some of the herbs used may interfere with some medications or cause other conditions to worsen. Let your doctor know what your plan is so she can make sure anything you plan to take is safe. Very few herbal or home remedies are verified by scientific study — most evidence is anecdotal, or based on personal accounts. Make sure that any herbal remedies you decide to use have been USP verified. This will ensure that you are getting high quality ingredients and that the contents of the supplement bottle match the label on the product. Look for a "USP verified" seal on the bottle. Raw celery juice and celery seed have antispasmodic, diuretic, and pain-relieving properties. This means these can help ease your pain as well as dissolve your kidney stones.  Use a juicer or blender to make celery juice. Drink three to four glasses of this juice a day. You can also add celery seed to recipes to help with your stones as well. Phyllanthus niruri is a plant that has been in use in Brazil for years to treat kidney stones and kidney stone pain. There is no set dosage for this herb, so follow the instructions listed on the bottle when you buy it. These are available as supplements and can be found at health food stores. White willow bark is a herb that helps reduce inflammation and pain in a similar fashion to aspirin, but without the same side effects caused by aspirin.  You can take this herb as a water drink by mixing 10 to 20 drops of liquid willow bark with a glass of water. Take this four to five times a day. You can also buy it as a 400 mg capsule, which should be taken four to six times a day. Devil's claw has been used to treat kidney issues, including kidney stones, because of its pain relieving properties. This herbal remedy is available as a 400 to 500 mg capsule.

If you want to wake up early, then you have to plan to go to bed early, or at least earlier than you expected to. One thing you have to do to make this happen is to avoid caffeine in the evenings — ideally, you should avoid it after noon. Even if you may be feeling tired, there are other ways to get that extra energy back, and caffeine should only be a last resort. If you want to go to bed and to wake up without a problem, then skip the caffeine in the afternoon and evening the next time you have a craving. Though a glass of wine or a beer may help you initially pass out after a long day, alcohol actually makes it harder for you to fall into a deep sleep, which is why you can pass out for 8 hours after drinking alcohol and still wake up feeling tired and achy. You can have a glass of wine with dinner, but make sure you don't have anything to drink for at least 2-3 hours before you go to bed, or it'll be harder for you to get to bed, and therefore, harder to get up early. If you eat your dinner late and pass out an hour later, it'll be harder for you to fall asleep because your body will still be digesting the food. Eat a healthy mix of veggies, a protein such as fish or chicken, and healthy carbs, such as brown rice or whole grain pasta. Make sure you get enough food that you don't wake up hungry in the middle of the night, but that you don't eat so much that you feel stuffed and can't fall asleep.  Avoid eating foods that are very spicy, heavy, or creamy, or your body will have a harder time digesting them and it'll be even harder for you to fall asleep. While staying hydrated throughout your day is important, you should limit the amount of water you drink after 7 pm, or around 3-4 hours before bed. You don't want to have to keep waking up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. If you want to make it as easy as possible for yourself to fall asleep, then you should use your bed for sleep and sleep only. If you do work in your bed, watch TV in bed, or even fight with your best friend over the phone in...

TL;DR in Russian:

Никакого кофеина! Никакого алкоголя за 2-3 часа до сна! Плотно перекусите здоровой пищей за 2-3 часа перед сном. В спальне - спите. Минимум за час до сна избавьтесь от всех визуальных раздражителей. Завершайте день на спокойной ноте. Ложитесь спать и просыпайтесь в одно и то же время. Поставьте будильник так, чтобы вы не могли до него дотянуться. Представляйте, как вы легко просыпаетесь. Приготовьтесь к расслабляющему сну.


If you want to win your woman back, the worst thing you can do is call her constantly, text her every two seconds, or even follow her around everywhere. Though "out of sight, out of mind," is true to an extent, you should start off by giving your ex some breathing room so she can have some time to reflect, enjoy her privacy, and regain enough emotional strength to want you again.  Knowing that it's important to give your ex some space is a sign of maturity. She'll appreciate the fact that you respect her enough to know not to smother her, and that you're mature enough to do your own thing for a while. You don't have to cut down on communication completely. You can still check in once in a while, as long as you don't make it sound like you're desperate to hear from her or always around. If she gets in touch with you, you should respond but don't get back to her the second she calls or texts, or she'll think you're obsessing over her. Just play it cool. You don't have to avoid her 100% of the time, but you should cut back on visiting your favorite hangouts or hanging out with mutual friends in hopes of seeing her. Think of this as your time to regroup before you win her over again. Every relationship is different, and so is the end of your relationship. If you want to win your woman back, then you have to consider whatever it was that ended things, and to make sure not to go down that path again. Were you too controlling, too distant, or were there some general incompatibility issues? Maybe it was more simple -- you couldn't get along with her friends, or she couldn't understand your love for motorcycles. Whatever it was, it's time to dig deep to find the source of the problem.  Make a list of all of the things that went wrong in the relationship. Then, look at the biggest issues that led to your downfall. You and your ex may have openly discussed these issues before you broke up, or maybe you thought your relationship ended for one reason, when it was really completely something else. Once you've pinpointed...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте вашей бывшей свободного пространства. Обдумайте, что пошло не так. Разработайте план, как обращаться с этой проблемой. Улучшайте себя. Наслаждайтесь компанией самого себя.


If you want to wind-down, avoid playing anything with a fast or heavy beat. Opt for instrumental or background music for a pleasant, calming effect. Many music-streaming services have pre-made playlists or stations specifically made for relaxation. Just search for “relaxing music” and see what pops up. Move dirty clothes, cosmetics, toys, and anything else that is taking up space on the bathroom counter. Put them away in drawers if needed, or set them out in the hall. The last thing you want is to look up from your bath and feel stressed about what needs to be cleaned up! If you can, take 10-15 minutes to clean your bathroom before taking a bath. It might help you relax more easily. With a bath caddy, you’ll have space for a drink, snack, book, or anything else you’d like to have with you. Set up the caddy while the water is filling and put your things in place so that it’s ready to go once the bath is done. You can buy bath caddies that have props to hold up books or magazines, slots for the stems of wine glasses, and more. Bright overhead lights could keep you from de-stressing, so opt to turn them down or completely off. Put candles on the countertops and around the edge of the tub if there is room.  Use unscented candles if you are using essential oils or a scented bubble bath. If not, light one of your favorite scented candles to enjoy while in the tub. After your bath, double-check that all the flames have been extinguished. If you live with other people and want to guarantee that you won’t be interrupted while you’re trying to relax, let them know ahead of time what your expectations are. If you have little kids, ask a partner or friend to watch them for 1/2 an hour so you can have some alone time. If you have pets, you may want to keep the bathroom door shut during your bath. Otherwise, they might come in and beg for your attention and disturb the peace!

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте плейлист с успокаивающими мелодиями и включите его, когда будете принимать ванну. Наведите порядок в ванной комнате, чтобы сделать пространство визуально привлекательным. Используйте специальный столик или полочку, чтобы не намочить вещи. Приглушите свет и зажгите несколько свечей для расслабляющего и эстетического эффекта. Попросите членов семьи не беспокоить вас, пока вы будете принимать ванну.


If you want to write sad stories, you'll have to start by seeking inspiration. Consider what makes you sad. For about 10 minutes, free write on the topic of sadness. Talk about the kind of situations that make you sad.  There are a lot of changes that come in life that can make people sad. Friendships and other relationships ending can cause sadness. The death of a loved one can also make someone sad. Sadness can also be caused by more minor events. Losing a family pet can be sad. Having to move to another city can be a cause of sadness. Consider what you think sadness is. What thoughts and emotions do you associate with sadness? As you write, talk about your own personal experiences with sadness. For example, when in life did you feel the most sad? Why? You may be able to use experiences from your own life in a short story. The best way to become a better writer is to read more. If you want to know how to write sad stories, you'll have to read a lot of stories with unhappy themes and plots.   Read sad stories. Ask your friends and teachers for recommendations for sad stories. As you read, do so actively. Pay attention to how writers build their stories and characters. How do the stories start? How do they end? Why do you have an emotional response to these stories? Ask yourself these questions as you read. Pay attention to what works in these stories. When writing a short story, you only have a short period of time to get your reader's attention. As you read short stories, pay attention to opening lines. How does the writer get your attention? Where does the story start? Many short stories may start when some of the important actions or events have already occurred. Authors may recount such events in flashbacks or imply them through means like character dialogue. If you want to write a story, you'll need to know basic story structure. Stories are made up of exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a resolution. The first parts of the story come with exposition and rising action.  Your...

If you want to write the long form of a date, you need to know and be able to spell the names of each of the months in Spanish. Knowing how to spell the names of the months also is essential to recognize the abbreviated form of the name.  January is enero. February is febrero. March is marzo. April is abril. May is mayo. June is junio. July is julio. August is agosto. September is septiembre. October is octubre. November is noviembre. December is diciembre. It's true that you don't need to write out the word for the day of the week when writing the date in Spanish. But understanding how the words are spelled will help you when you're reading a written date aloud.  The first day of the month can be written as "uno" ("one"), "el primer día" ("the first day"), or "el primero" ("the first"). Two is dos. Three is tres. Four is cuatro. Five is cinco. Six is seis. Seven is siete. Eight is ocho. Nine is nueve. Ten is diez. Since there are as many as 31 days in a month, you can't stop learning the numbers at 10. In Spanish, the numbers 11 through 15 have their own names, while the names for the rest of the numbers follow a pattern. If you don't already know number words in Spanish, reading and writing dates can be a good way to practice. Just as you don't typically have to write out the day in Spanish, you certainly shouldn't ever have a need to write out the year in words. But it's still helpful to understand it so you'll say the date correctly.  Spell the year out in thousands and hundreds. For example, the year "1900" would be spelled out in Spanish as "mil novecientos," which translates literally to "one thousand, nine hundred." There is no Spanish equivalent to the phrase "nineteen hundred," which is how you would say it in English. Follow with the tens and ones after the thousands and hundreds. For example, you would write out the year "1752" in Spanish as "mil setecientos cincuenta y dos."

TL;DR in Russian:

Научитесь писать месяцы на испанском языке. Выучите, как пишутся числа на испанском языке. Научитесь писать цифры после 10. Если хотите улучшить свои навыки, напишите год полностью.


If you want to, you can hem the skirt to get a more professional, clean edge. You don't have to however, and certain fabrics should create a finished edge all on their own. Jersey is a good example of this.

If you want to, you can put the shirt on to determine the new length. Keep in mind that your shirt will be about ½ to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters) longer, depending on how wide the original hem is. Spread the shirt out on a flat, even surface, right-side-out. Use a ruler to measure up from the bottom edge of the shirt every so often. This will ensure that your shirt is the same length all the way around. If you can't find a dressmaker's chalk or pen, you can make the line using sewing pins instead; just be careful not to pin both sides of the shirt together. Keep folding your way all around the shirt. It should now be a little shorter than before. You are still folding on the outside of the shirt. Do not fold the hem on the inside. Use the zigzag stitch or the stretch stitch on your sewing machine. Make sure that your thread color closely matches your shirt. Keep your shirt right-side-out. You should now see the original hem, the hem's original stitching, and your new "seam" just above it. Focus on the new seam you made. This will flatten it, and make the bottom of your shirt smoother. If you'd like, you an secure the hem with sewing pins, although this is not necessary. Anywhere between ⅛ to 3/16-inch (3.2 to 4.3 millimeters) away will be plenty.Use a stretch stitch for this step, and be sure to go back and forth over the start and end of your sewing a few times to prevent unraveling.  Start sewing from one of the side seams. This will help hide the start and end of your sewing better. If you secured your hem with sewing pins, be sure to pull them out as you sew. Try to cut as close to your stitching as you can. Discard the excess material, or save it for another project. When you are done, go back over your shirt and snip off any excess or loose threads. Your shirt is now ready to wear.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, насколько короткой должна быть ваша футболка, и поставьте соответствующую метку с изнанки. С помощью портновского мела или маркера начертите по периметру футболки равноудаленную от нижнего края линию. Подверните нижний край футболки так, чтобы он коснулся линии. Проложите строчку как можно ближе к срезу ткани в старом подрубочном шве. Отверните старый подрубочный шов обратно вниз, а излишки ткани — внутрь футболки и вверх. Прогладьте низ футболки утюгом. Проложите отделочную строчку над новым швом максимально близко к нему. Выверните футболку на изнаночную сторону и срежьте излишки материала изнутри. Выверните футболку на лицо.


If you want your bruise to look real, you've got to pick a good spot for it. Some places don't actually bruise that much, so you've got to pick a good fleshy place on your body, or a place where you might be injured. The best places for fake bruises are usually:  Your forearm. Anywhere on your leg. Your forehead. Your chest or shoulder. Don't put a fake bruise near or around your eyes. Real looking bruise in place? Check. Unsuspecting friend in sight? Check. Wait for a good moment, when you're both doing something physical or playing in some way, then fake an injury. Wait until your friend comes close and then grab the area with the fake bruise suddenly and start hollering.  Really play it up. Pretend that you're in pain and look angry. It's a good way to build some sympathy or freak out the victim of your prank. If you don't want to go through all the acting trouble, you could always just whip out your bruise and say something like:  "You should see the other person." "I got this working on an oil rig." "I fell off my dad's motorcycle."

TL;DR in Russian:

If you want your cat to come when called, you have to offer a reward of some kind. Unlike dogs, cats do not always work to please their owners alone. If your cat does not feel she will be rewarded for behaving, she may not engage in an activity.  Food is highly recommended as a reward. The vast majority of cats will work for a treat or food type they love. Choose something other than their everyday food. Get a special treat from the store or offer a small bit of deli meat or tuna. You may have to do some trial and error to find a food type your cat likes.  Though most cats’ primary pleasure is food, there are some cats that just aren’t as interested. If your cat is generally disinterested in food, substitute the food treat with a special toy, favorite brush, or even a certain petting your cat enjoys. Make up a unique call to signal to your cat she needs to come. You should choose something that's not an every day phrase. Your cat's name, for example, is a bad option for a call as you likely say it in situations where you don't need your cat to come. This can be confusing. Think of a unique phrase or sound you can use to get your cat to come.  Noises can work well. You can say can say something like, "Ki-ki-ki!" in a high-pitched voice. You can make a clicking or squeaking noise. A whistle may also work. You can also choose a phrase you don't say often. You can try something like, "Come here!" or "Treats!" or "Tuna!" Once you've chosen your noise and reward, start establishing a positive connection. If you want your cat to come in response to a particular sound, you need to make sure she associates that sound with positive things. Make your call and then offer your cat food, treats, toys, or petting as a reward. If you're using food as a reward, you may want to make your call just before dinnertime.

TL;DR in Russian:

Определитесь с поощрением. Выберите команду. Закрепите связь между звуком и поощрением.


If you want your cherries on the super-tart side, add less sugar. You can also use a sugar substitute (like Splenda), honey, or agave syrup. To get the cherry pits out, score them along their sides with a knife. You may be able to pop the pits right out -- or just take a butter knife and wedge them out if they're being difficult. The cherries need time to soak up the sweetness of the sugar. It'll be so tangy that you'll need the water to dilute it later. You're looking for one mostly uniform consistency (the cherry chunks will keep it from being entirely uniform). Then reduce the heat and simmer for fifteen minutes. It should maintain a light bubble the entire time, reducing the liquid and turning almost syrupy. Squeeze all the moisture from the cherries into a separate saucepan. Don't just strain it -- really squeeze out all the juices. You're finished with the cherries; you can throw them away. Or keep them for a topping or a preserve! Then take the pan off, let it cool to room temperature and move it to a sealed vessel for storage in a refrigerator. That's it! The consistency is right; this is basically tart cherry juice concentrate. It's not supposed to be like juice -- it should be much thicker. Sparkling water (or even just water) works, too. Feel free to experiment with the ratio to find your personal taste. It may take a try or two -- but once you find the right combination, it'll be easy. Keep the rest in a resealable container to save for later. It'll keep for a couple weeks if kept tight and in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in Russian:

Положите чистые вишни без косточек и сахар в кастрюлю. Закройте кастрюлю и оставьте при комнатной температуре на 2 часа. Добавьте 220 грамм воды и перемешивайте, пока весь сахар не растворится. Доведите содержимое до кипения. Когда закончите, процедите смесь. Варите на медленном огне получившуюся жидкость, пока она не загустеет, как кленовый сироп. Чтобы подать этот напиток, положите одну или две ложки в стакан с содовой газированной водой.


If you want your colleagues to like and respect you, you need to make sure that you are doing your job well. No one appreciates a co-worker who shirks their responsibilities. Make a point to finish your work on time.  Be sure to demonstrate that you are responsible. If you agree to do something, make sure that you complete that task. For example, if your cubicle mate asks you to attend a meeting for her, make sure that you show up. Acting responsible includes taking responsibility for your actions. For example, if you make an error, don't try to hide it or shift blame to someone else. Acknowledge your mistake and make it clear that you will fix it. One way to excel at your job is to show others that you are someone they can depend on. There are many ways that you can demonstrate your reliability. It can be as simple as showing up on time every day, or as big as volunteering to lead the team on a new project. Make sure that your co-workers know that they can trust you. For example, you can update them on your progress by saying, "Sam, I just wanted to let you know that I've followed through on those e-mails you wanted me to send. Let me know if you'd like me to do anything else to help you out." Sometimes it can be difficult to be in a good mood when you're at work. After all, there is usually something else that you would rather be doing. But remember that no one likes to be around negativity. Try to display a positive attitude, even if you are feeling stressed or unhappy.  Smile. The simple act of smiling shows that you have a good attitude. Bonus: when you smile, you will actually start to feel happier. Take a deep breath. Instead of expressing your frustrations with anger, take a few moments to breathe deeply and find something positive about the situation. Unfortunately, you will sometimes have to deal with conflict in the workplace. If you handle it well, you can still build positive work relationships. When a problem arises, make sure to actively listen. Also, make sure to only address the situation...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ведите себя ответственно. Будьте надежным человеком. Сохраняйте позитивный настрой. Справляйтесь с конфликтными ситуациями.


If you want your cookies to stay fresh in the mail, then you should avoid sending soft, buttery, or moist cookies, because their moisture will make them more likely to deteriorate. Instead, opt for cookies that are drier and more crisp, such as shortbreads, sugar cookies, biscotti, or crisp gingerbread cookies. Here are some other types of cookies that you can send:  Cookies that have a slightly chewy texture, like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, and white chocolate-cranberry cookies. Macaroons and Pignoli. Though these cookies are more chewy and moist, their textures actually improve after a few days. If you bake the cookies on a Saturday afternoon, then they won't ship until Monday, which means you've wasted almost two full days of cookie freshness. Try baking the cookies the morning of the day you're going to send them, or at least the night before.  If you want to consider a faster shipping method, you can also choose to express-ship the cookies through UPS or FedEx, or to send them as Priority or Express mail through your local post office. If you're mailing them over the holidays, make sure you send them enough days in advance that they get to their recipient before the holiday and don't end up waiting in a warehouse because the mail will be closed for a day or two during the holiday season. Once you've baked your cookies, you should let them cool for a while to get rid of any additional heat or moisture and to let them harden a bit. If you package them immediately after you take them out of the oven, you'll be packing them in with the moisture and heat, which will make them spoil faster. But once they've cooled, you should package them as quickly as you can to maximize their freshness.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите подходящий вид печенья. Отправляйте печенье как можно быстрее. Упакуйте печенье вскоре после приготовления.


If you want your erection to go away, start doing something physical. Go outside and get some exercise for a while, and that erection will go away pretty quickly, usually more quickly than waiting. Make your muscles burn and it'll go away, because your body will need that blood elsewhere.  Drop down and do ten pushups quickly, then try to do 30-40 sit-ups. This will usually do the trick. Go jogging with an erection, if you prefer. Sometimes, just the act of focusing your attention on some sport or game can also do the trick. Keep exercising to get your body working and get rid of some of that frustration. Swimsuit erections can be some of the most obvious. If one happens in the water, start doing some serious lap-swimming. Alternately contract the large muscles in your legs to draw the blood away from your crotch. This is useful when you are sitting in class. Eating a meal will help your body focusing its attention elsewhere. Eating causes blood to flow to your digestive system, helping you to process your food and convert it into energy. Try eating some raw seeds, oatmeal, or citrus fruit to improve your blood flow and get your body busy in other ways. While a "cold shower" is the common advice for a horned-up teenager, cold temperatures can actually promote sperm production, while hot temperatures can actually make you less fertile for the time being. While that doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the erection you've got, it can help in the long term. A bath of any sort is a good idea. The old joke goes that a guy's only got enough blood in his body to run either his brain or his penis, but not both. There's some truth to it. If you can't do something active or out-wait your erection, try to out-wit it by doing any of the following things:  Think about the true nature of being. Decide what happens when you die. Complete this problem in your head: (1567 x 34)(143 - 56) Picture old people in nursing homes eating lunch. Try to write a rhyming Petrarchan sonnet. Imagine eating raw jellyfish. Read Aristotle....

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте несколько упражнений. Съешьте что-нибудь. Примите теплый душ или ванну. Подумайте о чем-то неприятном или сложном. Слегка ущипните себя за ногу.


If you want your ex to want you again, then she has to see you eventually. After enough time has passed -- a few weeks, at least -- it's time to get back into her social circle or just to "run into her" at a time when she can see what a great time you're having. If she knows you're sitting at home pining for her, she'll be less likely to want to be with you than if she sees you having a great time, tossing your hair back, and laughing loudly with your buddies.  Go to the places where you know she'll be without being too obvious about it. When you see her, stop and chat to let her know you care, but don't drop everything to go talk to her. Instead, have a great time with your friends and make her want to join in on the fun. Whatever you're doing, just make sure you have a big smile on your face and that you're laughing or just clearly having a great time without thinking of her. If you know you'll see her, you should try to look a little nicer without making it too obvious that you made an extra effort. Maybe one of the reasons that your relationship ended is that her friends didn't think you made an effort to get to know them, or that they thought you didn't care enough about your ex to make the relationship worth it. So, if you want your girl to want you again, winning her friends over can help you pave the path to her heart. Here's what you can do:  If you see her friends, make an effort to be incredibly nice without suffocating them. Just let them see what a great guy you are, and move on. You can even casually ask about your ex if you run into her friends. Let them know that she's on your mind. Once you've starting "running into" your ex a few times, it's time to make the first move. Start talking to her more, asking how she's doing, and taking a real interest in her life and thoughts. Let her know that she's on your mind and that you really do care about her without overwhelming her. Whether you just run into her at the campus bookstore or even invite her out for coffee, slowly find a way to make it back...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте ей возможность увидеть, что вы отлично проводите время. Получите благосклонность ее друзей. Медленно подступайтесь к ней. Играйте недотрогу. Покажите, что изменились. Убедитесь, что она заинтересована. Скажите ей, что вы чувствуете. Начинайте встречаться снова.


If you want your face to look less fat, you need to lose fat overall. Spot reduction of fat is not possible to accomplish with diet alone. Eat fewer calories throughout the day, so that your body will use up fat as stored energy. If you do that, you will lose weight in the face too.  Luckily, if you want a slimmer face, your body goes after the fat first in the neck, jaw and face. So if you cut down on calories but do it in a healthy manner, you should have a less full face in no time. You need to create a caloric deficit. It takes about 3,500 calories burned to lose a single pound. You will burn some calories every day just by living and breathing. You need to burn more than you take in to lose weight. Effective weight loss occurs gradually. Cutting calories in a healthy manner means eliminating some calories – say 500 a day, through diet or exercise – without completely depriving your body of food. Instead, make healthier food choices or start slow, say by eliminating that morning doughnut from your diet. Not eating at all is medically unsafe. It also could put your body in starvation mode, which will actually reduce your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight. There are many reasons that it’s a good idea to drink a lot of water throughout the day, but one of them is that it will reduce bloating in your face.  The reason water helps reduce face fat is because it flushes toxins out of your body. Thus, it also increases your overall health. It will also improve the look of your skin and hair.  Drinking cold water will burn extra calories. Drinking 64 ounces of water per day is a good target to strive for. Keeping the body constantly hydrated will make you feel better, and it should make your face look more slender over time. A diet that is low in processed foods and refined flour (like white bread and pasta) will be healthier for you. Instead, try to eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits, foods with fiber, fish, and other protein rich foods.  Try not to eat food with a lot of salt (avoid junk food as...

TL;DR in Russian:

Попробуйте похудеть в целом. Пейте больше воды для поддержания водного баланса. Ешьте больше полезных продуктов. Выясните, нет ли у вас непереносимости каких-либо продуктов.


If you want your first kiss to be special, then try picking the person you think would make it the most special. If you're worried that your kissing technique isn't all that great yet, then maybe choose someone you'd be less embarrassed about. (And stop worrying! Kissing is fun once you get the hang of it.)  There's nothing like kissing a real, breathing human being. A person will respond to your lips like a hand or a fruit can't. Kissing comes naturally to humans. That's why we do it! Practicing kissing before you actually kiss is like practicing riding a bike on a seesaw. It doesn't really prepare you for the real deal. You get good at riding a bike by riding a bike, just like you get good at kissing by kissing another person. If you're a girl, you might just be able to go up to a guy and ask him if he wants to kiss. (Or you can develop a friendship with him and if it blossoms into something stronger, kiss him when you're close.) If you're a guy, your job is going to be a bit harder. Look for a good opportunity to kiss someone:  Kiss someone you think is attracted to you. It's hard to know sometimes, but if you know that someone does or doesn't like you, use that information accordingly. Work up to a kiss. Work up to a kiss first by flirting. Touch the person's shoulder gently when you're talking to them; compliment an aspect of their eyes; or stare longingly into their eyes. Be physically close to the person. It'll be awkward if you're five feet away when you move in for a kiss. Get close to the person. Maybe even put your arm around their waist if all the signals you're getting say "yes!" You want your lips to be supple, soft, and smooth before you kiss. Balm your lips regularly before you kiss so that they're free of dry, flaky skin that can distract from the moment. Remember:   Do not apply lip-gloss before you kiss. Lip-gloss can be sticky, glittery, and sweet. You don't want the sticky, your partner doesn't need the glittery, and you don't need the sweet. Your lips are sweet enough!  Do not apply...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите кого-то, с кем вы не прочь целоваться. Непринужденно спросите кого-нибудь или просто сделайте. Убедитесь, что ваши губы в должном состоянии. Убедитесь, что у вас свежее дыхание. Подойдите ближе к партнеру. Создайте и поддерживайте зрительный контакт перед поцелуем. Целуйтесь под небольшим углом. Растяните первый поцелуй. Начните целовать верхнюю и нижнюю губы вашего партнера. Оставьте французский поцелуй на потом.


If you want your friendship to last, then you should be able to forgive your friend and to move forward. If you hold a grudge and let your bitterness and resentment build up, then you won't be able to move forward. Recognize that nobody's perfect and that if your friend is sincerely sorry and if they didn't do something too horrible, that you should move past it.  If your friend really did do something so unforgivable that you just can't get past it, then it's better to move on than to try to save the friendship when it's doomed. But this should happen very rarely. If you're angry at your friend but won't tell them why you'll never be able to forgive them if you don't talk about it. To make your friendship thrive, you shouldn't try to change your friend or make your friend see the world from your perspective. Celebrate what makes your friend (and you) unique! If you're conservative and your friend is liberal, then accept that instead of trying to argue about it all the time. You should appreciate the fresh perspective your friend can bring to your experiences instead of wanting your friend to see everything from your perspective. The more you are with one another, the less you idealize each other and the more you accept one another for who you really are. This is what being a truly good friend is really about -- caring deeply for each other, even if you know you're both full of flaws. A friend will wait while you do your homework. A great friend stays up all night helping. Remember that if you are a good friend, people want to be a good friend to you. Recognize the moments when you need to go above and beyond to help your friend and know that this will make your friendship grow, and that your friend will do the same for you in return. If your friend really needs you and keeps saying, "No, you don't have to do that..." learn to read between the lines and know that your friend really does need you. As the years pass, people tend to grow apart. Maybe you and a friend will move to different places and only see...

TL;DR in Russian:

Научитесь прощать. Принимайте друга таким, какой он есть. Делайте даже больше того, что просит друг. Оставайтесь на связи, что бы ни случилось. Пусть дружба развивается вместе с вами.


If you want your ginger to last as long as possible, then you have to pick out the freshest ginger root and use it shortly after purchasing. To find the freshest ginger, look for ginger with a fresh and spicy fragrance and a nice smooth skin. The rhizomes of the ginger should feel heavy and firm in your hands. Avoid any ginger that's wrinkled or feels a bit soft, or you'll be eating ginger that's already on the decline.  Avoid any ginger that is wet, moist, or moldy. Decide whether to store the ginger in the freezer or refrigerator. If you know you'll be using the ginger again soon, then you should just store it in the refrigerator to make it easy to use, peel, or mince the ginger in the future. Ginger can last in the refrigerator for up to three weeks, so if you know you won't be using it before then, then you should store it in the freezer. You can also mix and match. If you know you'll be using a small chunk of the ginger soon, then you can cut off a chunk and refrigerate it and then freeze the rest of the ginger for use in the more distant future.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте самый свежий имбирь.


If you want your girlfriend to have sex with you, then you should treat her like a lady, not just like someone you want to hook up with. To do this, you have to be a gentleman and be courteous, kind, understanding, and generally admirable. Open doors for her, give her your coat when she's cold, pull out chairs for her, and help her carry her heavy bags.  Make sure to compliment her to let her know how great she looks or how special she is. It's important to be a gentleman, but don't do anything that feels too unnatural to you, or she'll be able to tell that you're not being yourself. . This may sound silly, but if you want your girlfriend to really feel special, then you shouldn't invite her to hang out at your place if it looks like the set for World War Z. You need to make sure to remove any dirty laundry off your floor, clean your counters, and make your bed look and smell as clean and inviting as possible.  Not only will this make your lady feel special, but it'll make her feel more inclined to have sex with you. She won't want to get it on if your bed is covered in candy wrappers and dirty underwear. If you drive her around a lot, you should also keep a clean car. Give your lady the respect she deserves by making sure she has a clean seat. Your girl's biggest fear may be that you don't care at all about her mind because you're too busy obsessing over her body. So, you have to prove her wrong. Show her that you are about who she is as a person, about her hopes and dreams, and about what makes her tick.  Ask her about her friendships, her childhood, and her favorite experiences. Show her that you value her opinion. Ask her what she thinks about the current political situation in your state, or about the look of your new outfit. Make eye contact when you talk to her. Show her that everything she says is important to you. If you want to build the sexual tension, you have to build the romance first. Make her feel special by taking her out, dressing up, and picking a romantic spot for dinner, a drink, or even...

TL;DR in Russian:

Относитесь к ней как к леди Убирайте у себя дома Проявляйте интерес ко всем ее делам – не только к ее телу. Пригласите ее на романтическое свидание. Будьте внимательны к ее потребностям. Убедитесь в том, что она готова заниматься сексом


If you want your guy to trust you 100%, then you need to afford him the same luxury. Trust is a two-way street.  Don't panic if he doesn't immediately return your call or reply to a text -- guys are forgetful about these kinds of things -- it doesn't mean he's up to something shady. If your man is open and honest with you and has never done anything to hurt you in the past, then you have no reason not to trust him. So if he wants a wild night out with the guys, you can be totally zen about it! Making a guy feel good about himself is an important part of treating him well. You don't want to be around someone who puts you down all the time, and neither does he.  Be considerate of his feelings -- thank him when he does something nice for you to let him know that you appreciate him, and apologize when you say something harsh or uncalled for. If he's having a hard time at work, let him know that you believe in him and have confidence in his abilities. He'll feel much better about himself afterwards. Sometimes we all just need to vent and share our feelings with another person.  You want to be that person for your man when he needs it, so show him that he can tell you anything by being a good listener. Try not to interrupt or make any judgmental comments -- just listen to what he has to say, try to be sympathetic and offer some constructive advice. Men are egotistical creatures, so boosting his ego with a well-timed compliment can put him on top of the world.  Tell him he looks great today, that his gym workouts are really paying off, or that his new haircut really suits him. Let him know that he's the only man for you, and that you feel lucky to have him. Your guy should know that he can count on you no matter what and that you'll always be there for him when he needs you.  Be his safety net when he needs it -- back him up if he wants to take a risk with a new business idea, support him if he's having family issues and be his shoulder to cry on when something bad happens. Being in a loving relationship is about...

TL;DR in Russian:

Доверяйте ему. Делайте так, чтобы он чувствовал себя хорошо. Будьте хорошим слушателем. Подпитывайте его эго. Дайте ему знать, что он может рассчитывать на вас.


If you want your marriage and your home life to be successful, it’s essential to strive to be your best. As a Christian, part of this means devoting yourself to God through prayer, reading your Bible, and always striving to follow Jesus’ example of righteousness. While every person’s schedule is different, this might mean reading a devotional each morning, attending weekly worship services, and praying throughout the day, with a family prayer in the evening. Proverbs 3:33 says: "The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous." In Ephesians 5:23, the Bible says that a husband should take a leadership role in the family: "The husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior." However, you can't expect your wife to follow you if you make decisions that are rash and self-serving. Take your time to think about what is best for you and your wife before you make any decisions that affect your family. Remember to rely on your wife's wisdom, as well. Talk to her to get her perspective on different decisions that might impact both of you. Luckily, you don’t have to be perfect to be a good spouse. However, it’s important to be truthful and humble with your wife, especially if you’ve done something wrong. Whether you fibbed about spending too much money on a new video game or you lost your temper at work and were disciplined for it, you’ll feel better if you come clean to your wife, and she’ll likely respect you more for your honesty. In James 5:16, the Bible says: "Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed." While it often takes two working adults to manage a household these days, it's still important that you do everything you can to try to make sure your family's needs are met. If your family is struggling financially, for instance, you might do odd jobs on your days off to earn extra money. Being a provider might also mean sacrificing something you want for something that your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте отношения с Богом своим ежедневным приоритетом. Молитесь, чтобы Господь послал вам мудрости в принятии решений. Честно признавайтесь в любых ошибках, которые вы совершили. Находите способы обеспечить свою семью. Избегайте искушения вести себя аморально в сексуальном плане.


If you want your mask to last through many wears, it is very important that you keep it dry. Because it is made of paper, if you get it wet, it will easily tear. If you’re going to be wearing your mask in a very hot and humid environment, and you’re afraid you might sweat on your mask, glue plastic wrap or line the inside of your mask with scotch tape to prevent the sweat from being soaked up by your mask. When you take your mask off, try not to put it somewhere that will make it easy for it to be squished. Place it on a shelf rather than in a drawer. Dust can easily ruin your mask, especially if you have glitter or feathers glued onto it. If you plan to keep your mask around for an extended amount of time, make sure it is covered. If you want to use it as a decoration, a shadow box frame is a great way to keep it clean while on display. To prevent your design from wiping or wearing off, just spray your mask with aerosol hairspray and let it dry.

TL;DR in Russian:

Храните маску в сухом месте. Храните маску отдельно от других вещей. Защитите маску от пыли. Сохраните цвет маски.


If you want your mother to give you permission, it’s important to talk to her at a time when she’s receptive to a conversation. That means you probably don’t want to ask her about shaving after she’s had a long, frustrating day at home or work. Try to find a moment when she seems like she’s in a good mood, such as after she’s finished watching her favorite TV show.  If you want to increase your chances of your agreeing to let you shave, try asking her right after you’ve done something that shows you’re responsible, such as offering to wash the dishes after a family meal or getting a “A” on an important test. You may want to ask her just before an event or occasion when shaving would make you feel more comfortable, such as a trip to the beach, or maybe wearing a dress to a special occasion. That may help your mother take the request more seriously. If you tell your mother that you want to shave just because all of your friends or classmates are doing it, she’s probably going to say no. You need to give her convincing personal reasons why it’s important for you to be allowed to shave. It may even be a good idea to jot down a quick list before hand, so you’re prepared when you talk to your her. Maybe if you say your peers are pressuring you, that would help also.  The key is to convey how uncomfortable your hair makes you to your mother. Point out how dark or plentiful it is, and share if it makes you too uncomfortable to wear shorts, skirts, and swimsuits even in warm weather. If kids at school have teased you about your leg hair, tell your mother about the experience. That may make her more sympathetic to your situation. It usually helps to keep your plea simple. For example, you might say, "I feel really self-conscious when I have to wear shorts for gym class because the hair on my legs is so dark," or "I've stopped going to the pool with my friends because I don't want anyone to see me in a swimsuit with all the hair that I have on my legs." When it comes to actually asking to shave, make it clear how it...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите подходящее время. Объясните, почему вы хотите брить ноги. Будьте терпеливы.


If you want your parents to let you go to a concert, it's best to create a plan many days, or even weeks, beforehand. Figure out the logistics way ahead of time so that you'll be able to answer all of your parents' questions. Having a detailed plan will make your parents feel more confident about allowing you to go, as will knowing that you've thought about it far in advance. If your parents haven't heard of the band you want to go see, tell them details about their music. What's their genre? How many people are in the band? Who is their intended audience? Even playing some of the band's music for your parents will let them get a better idea of what the concert will be like. Let them know how far away the venue is and exactly where it's located. Show them pictures of the venue, and tell them details about the inside, such as whether or not there are specific seats or general admission.  If your parents are concerned about the venue being too far away, ask if one of them could drop you off at the concert and wait at a restaurant or other nearby location. Some venues offer a waiting area for parents to hang out while their kids enjoy the concert. Research more about your venue to see if this is a possibility. Depending on the type of concert, an audience can range from very mellow to a little wild. Make sure your parents, as well as yourself, understand the type of environment you'll be putting yourself in - you don't want to stray too far from your comfort zone. Sometimes things won't go exactly as planned, so it's always good to know what to do in these circumstances. Maybe your phone died, you got separated from the group, or you can't find the pickup location - whatever the issue is, discuss all of these potential scenarios with your parents so that you're all on the same page for what you should do. Memorizing or writing down your parents' phone numbers will let you call them from any phone, and agreeing on a meet-up spot with your friends if someone gets separated from the group will ensure that no one gets lost.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте подробный план заранее. Предоставьте родителям информацию о группе. Предоставьте информацию о месте проведения концерта. Знайте, частью какой публики вы будете. Составьте план того, как действовать в непредвиденной ситуации.


If you want your relationship to last, do your best not to criticize one another, especially when it comes to personal things. You’re not perfect, and neither is your partner. It does little good to point out all of the things they are doing wrong.  Some therapists suggest that, for each negative comment or criticism you make, you should try to make at least five positive comments about your partner to help offset the negative one.  If your partner is doing something that is bothering you, think about why it is bothering you before saying anything. For example, maybe it annoys you that your partner bites his nails, but is it really harming you? If you have a friend who you trust, and who has spent a lot of time around you and your partner when you are together, then try asking them what they think. Research suggests that friends are generally better at predicting the outcome of your relationship than you will be. Do you guys often spend time joking around and having fun, or are you typically quite serious around one another? Research suggests that couples who are able to joke around together feel more connected. Remember, though, that this doesn’t mean you can’t/shouldn’t be serious sometimes. Some matters require you to be serious, and you will likely frustrate your partner if they feel you aren’t taking them seriously. If one of you believes that you are superior in some way, (e.g. have more money, in better shape, better looking, etc.) then you are less likely to last in the long-term. It is certainly likely that you do some things better, and that your partner does some things better. Instead of using these to compete, use them to work together. For example, if you are a great cook, and your partner doesn't know how to boil water, then give them lessons. Find something that your partner does that you can't, and learn from them. This is important for any long-term relationship. If something has happened to undermine your or your partner’s trust, then steps must be taken to repair the trust. This will...

TL;DR in Russian:

Избегайте критики. Спросите у друзей, что они думают о ваших отношениях. Смейтесь вместе. Помните, что в отношениях вы оба равны. Будьте честны друг с другом. Прилагайте усилия. Поддерживайте друг друга.


If you want your sculpture to have color and your sculpting material was not itself colored, you may want to paint your sculpture. What type of paints you use will depend on what type of material you used, but for most materials, you want to use some type of acrylic paint. Model enamel paints will be necessary (or at least recommended) if using polymer clays.  Prepare the sculpture for painting by washing it with soap and water or giving it a quick wipe down with some rubbing alcohol. If your paint goes down very streaky, a base coat or multiple coats may be necessary. Glosses and glazes can be used to make areas that should look wet, like eyes or open mouths, more realistic. Use an appropriate gloss or glaze for whatever material you are working with. A good basic option is Modge Podge. To create an even more realistic look, you can mix media as needed to get the look you want. This can mean using real hair for a sculpture of a person, real fabric for clothes, or actual dirt, rocks, or moss for your sculpture's base.

TL;DR in Russian:

Раскрасьте скульптуру. Добавьте при желании блеск. При необходимости смешивайте техники.


If you want your skin to stay clear, you should take steps to protect it. Sun can damage skin, making it more susceptible to blemishes and acne. You should use a daily moisturizer that contains SPF to protect your skin from the sun. Your diet may have an impact on your skin. In the longterm, eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. The connection between diet and skin is still unclear, but research does suggest a better diet may promote younger, healthier looking skin. Strong soaps, certain laundry detergents, and other substances that have contact with your skin can cause irritation. If you notice your skin reacts poorly to a certain substance, cease use immediately. If you're prone to breakouts, managing stress can help prevent skin problems. Stress can make your skin much more sensitive, triggering breakouts and irritation.  Things like yoga, deep breathing, and meditation can help with stress management. You can find guided yoga and meditation routines online, or look for a class in your area. Regular exercise can help reduce stress. Try going for a brisk walk each morning to clear your head.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пользуйтесь увлажняющими средствами с SPF. Соблюдайте здоровое питание. Избегайте контакта с раздражителями. Уменьшите уровень стресса.


If you want your sugar daddy to keep wanting you, then you should stay mysterious. If you have to go, don't always tell him where you're going. If you don't respond to his calls for a day, don't go into a big explanation about what you were doing -- you were just busy living your own life. Don't tell him about every little thing on your mind and don't go into detail about your deepest wishes and needs. You can reveal a little bit about yourself at a time, but always leave him wanting more. Don't give him a planner with your schedule on it. Let him wonder about all of the things you're up to when you're not with him. Sugar daddies are looking for women that they can have a good time with. They're not shelling out cash to be with a woman who is negative or always whining and complaining. If you tend to have negative thoughts, try to keep those to a minimum when you're around your sugar daddy and save them for your real friends. Keep things light and positive by laughing often and talking about the things that make you happy and the things that you're excited about instead of the things that get you down.  Whenever you catch yourself saying something negative, counter your statement by making three positive comments. Try to laugh as much as you can. Sugar daddies want women who are having a good time. If you're having an emotional day or feel like crying, don't dump all of your emotions on your sugar daddy. Call up a good friend instead. If you want to keep your sugar daddy, then you should keep things fresh by always keeping him on his toes. Don't do the same thing every weekend, even if you always go out to an expensive restaurant. Instead, mix things up by asking him to take you boating, give you a tennis lesson, or whisk you away on an expensive vacation.  If you do the same things together all the time, your sugar daddy may begin to get bored with you. Make sure you do one new thing together at least once every week or two. Keep things exciting in the bedroom too. Use your time with your sugar daddy as an...

TL;DR in Russian:

Оставайтесь загадочной. Будьте позитивной и веселой. Поддерживайте интерес. Избегай рутины. Не привязывайтесь. Знайте, когда нужно уйти.


If you wear a belt to the airport, it’s going to be a big hassle. Save yourself some time, and leave it in your suitcase or at home.  At security, you will probably be asked to remove your belt if you wear one. That means it will take you longer to get through the metal detector. It also means you might annoy people behind you. Although if you are a member of TSA PRE CHECK you maybe able to keep your belt on but it depends on the airport you go to.  A key point to remember when dressing for the airport is convenience is important. Consider how to make the experience easier. Make sure to choose pants that will stay up without a belt if you forgot one, though! If you’re wearing a ton of jewelry to the airport – or hard to remove pieces, like small earrings with small clasps – it could be a hassle.  At the metal detector, you may have to remove most of it. Body piercings could set it off and significantly delay you. The other problem with wearing a lot of jewelry is that it could make you a mark for thieves or pick pockets. It’s usually not a good idea to flash your wealth in an airport. You could keep the jewelry in a pocket within your carry on, and then put it on once you land and leave the destination airport. Lots of makeup and elaborate hair probably looks great when you board the plane and not so great after a multiple hour flight. Simpler is better!  Your skin is likely to feel dehydrated after a flight, so do bring a small bottle of moisturizer and tube of chapstick. Pull your hair in a ponytail! Leave behind big bottles of beauty products. Maybe you like using your own shampoo. Or maybe it’s saline solution, sunscreen, or expensive face lotion you’re bringing along. You know the rules. You can only get bottles the size of 3 full ounces through security. Follow the rules, and it will go faster. It can be really handy in an airport to carry a big purse. For one, you’ll have somewhere to put items you buy, like reading material or gum.  For another, a nice, statement purse can dress up an otherwise...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не надевайте ремень. Не надевайте слишком много украшений. Не используйте много косметики. Возьмите с собой вместительную женскую сумку.


If you wear a bra, it is extremely important it should be clean. Try to wear a fresh one each day. Your straps should be tight enough so as they do not rub against the acne when you move, which irritates it. If possible, wear a strapless bra as this reduces redness on your shoulder blades. Ensure any material touching your back is clean and, if possible, made of primarily natural fibers such as cotton. Try to avoid tight-fitting clothing. Finally, the clothes should be laundered regularly--preferably after each wearing.  Try to wash clothes in a gentle detergent with minimal or no scent. Acne can be caused or worsened by overly harsh or highly perfumed detergents. If possible, bleach your whites. Bleach kills any lingering bacteria on your clothing and impedes acne growth. Be sure to rinse completely to prevent the bleach from irritating your skin chemically. After going for a run or basketball practice, remember to hit the showers. Sweat that's not washed off your skin after exercise effectively creates a summer playground for bacteria that cause acne. Additionally, this sweat can also clog pores, causing acne to rear its ugly little head. One potential cause of bacne is conditioner that hasn't been properly washed from hair. Conditioner is great for your hair, but not so great for your back. There are several ways that you can help keep conditioner from invading your back and causing nasty little zits:  Turn the water temperature down before you rinse conditioner out of your hair. Warm water will open up pores, while cool water will close them. Having open pores right when your conditioner is slurrying down your hair is not a good recipe for a pimple-free back. Wash your back last, after you have shampooed and conditioned. Instead of conditioning your hair in the shower, condition it after you get out with a leave-in conditioner. If you have sensitive skin, the laundry detergent you use may be irritating your skin. Try switching detergents. Or try selecting a laundry detergent that is unscented, or even...

TL;DR in Russian:

Носите чистый бюстгальтер. Носите свободную, чистую одежду, пропускающую воздух. Не забывайте принимать душ, после того как вспотели. Когда вы принимаете душ, обязательно смывайте кондиционер с волос. Поменяйте стиральный порошок. Регулярно стирайте простыни.


If you wear a removable grill, you should remove it each day to clean it. Brush the grill with toothpaste to clean it and remove any debris. Rinse it with warm water. Then, between uses, place the grill in antiseptic mouthwash to sanitize it.  Cleaning it each day removes bacteria that can accumulate in the grill, along with removing remnants of leftover food. Another way to clean your grill is to use mild dishwashing liquid. Remove your grill and soak it in a bowl of warm water mixed with dishwashing liquid. Let it soak for about an hour or two, and then let it air dry. You can also pat it dry. Grills are removable gold-plated covers you snap over your teeth. Make sure that you don’t wear your grill all the time. Food and bacteria can get trapped beneath the grill, and if you wear it for extended periods of time, it can lead to tooth and gum decay. To keep your grill and teeth clean and healthy, remove your grill before eating. Eating while wearing a grill can cause food to get trapped beneath the grill, leading to the growth of bacteria and tooth decay. Food caught under the grill can also injure your sensitive gum tissue.

TL;DR in Russian:

Накладки нужно чистить каждый день. Промойте накладку в мыльной воде. Не носите накладку постоянно. Снимайте накладку на время еды.


If you wear a uniform, make sure to keep it in excellent condition - ironed, stain-free and neat. If there is no uniform, wear well kept, slightly formal clothing. This gives the customers a better first impression and will keep your boss happy. Check your appearance periodically to see if you look disheveled or have spilled something on yourself without noticing.   Keep your nails clean and tidily cut. Wear nice looking shoes, not tennis shoes, and keep them tightly tied. Never wear sandals. Refrain from wearing perfume or cologne as some guests may have allergies to these scents. Similarly, try not to smoke before work or during your break, as it can leave an obnoxious smell. Keep jewelry and makeup subtle and unobtrusive. Being familiar with every item on the menu will save you a lot of time and trouble when taking orders. Study the menu on your own time if necessary to avoid mistakes and slow orders.  Become familiar with every option for every order. If a customer orders a sandwich, you should know which breads are available, which sides come with the sandwich, and how to phrase these questions clearly. Know which dishes contain meat, dairy, and common allergens, such as peanuts. Be ready to suggest similar alternatives for customers who cannot eat those ingredients. Familiarize yourself with the daily specials before each work shift. Politely ask whether the customer would like a drink, a side, or an upgrade to their order. Management will love you for this and your tips will increase as your customers purchase more.   Know which liquors are expensive and high quality. Suggest their use when a customer requests a mixed drink. Always ask if the table would like an appetizer. Never be pushy or deceptive. Present the option to the customer politely, and don't try to pass off an upgrade as though it were free. You'll have a much easier shift if you can accomplish three tasks in one trip to the kitchen and back. Take empty dishes from tables whenever you're on your way to the kitchen. Fill up a tray when...

TL;DR in Russian:

Всегда выглядите презентабельно. Выучите меню, чтобы сэкономить время, принимая заказы. Вежливо спросите клиента, не хочет ли он заказать что-нибудь еще. Вам будет легче работать, если вы будете выполнять одновременно три дела по пути на кухню и обратно. Научитесь правильно распоряжаться временем. Проверьте блюдо перед тем, как отнести его клиенту, особенно в случаях специальных запросов. Помните о предпочтениях большинства клиентов. Не позволяйте плохим чаевым испортить вам настроение. Не сидите без дела.


If you wear contact lenses and can easily remove them, do so immediately. Once they’re out, begin flushing your eyes. If you have trouble taking your lenses out, get help from someone you trust nearby or a responding medical professional. Rinse your hands well to ensure they’re free of hydrogen peroxide solution. Cup them under running cool water and continuously flush your eyes for 15 to 20 minutes. Try taking a cool shower to flush your eyes if you have difficulty doing so with a faucet and sink. You can also try flushing your eyes with a .9 % saline solution. If you have a bottle of saline solution on hand, check its label to find out its concentration. Once your eyes have recovered from the water or saline flush your eyes, make sure your vision isn’t impaired in any way. Seek medical attention if you experience any unusual blurriness or obstructions in your visual field. Have someone check your eyes for surface abrasions or deformities, and seek emergency care if you show these or any other signs of damage. If your eyes were exposed to hydrogen peroxide at any concentration, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. If you were exposed to a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide, you should contact emergency services immediately as it can rapidly cause cornea burns. If you experience changes in your vision or have signs of abrasion or damage, have someone take you to an emergency room. Follow up with an appointment with your ophthalmologist, or eye doctor, if you have one.

TL;DR in Russian:

Снимите контактные линзы. Промывайте глаза прохладной водой в течение не менее 15 минут. Проверьте зрение и убедитесь, что роговица не повреждена. Немедленно свяжитесь с врачом.


If you wear false lashes several times a week, you shouldn't steam them off every time. Steaming your face too often can cause redness, sensitivity, and breakouts. Alternate the steaming with one of the other removal methods to protect your skin.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не используйте паровой метод чаще одного раза в неделю.


If you wear shoes that show lots of skin on the tops of your feet and around your ankles, then this may make you seem taller. Instead, choose shoes that cover more skin or that partially cover the central part of your foot. For example, you could wear a pair of mules, oxfords, boots, open toed heels, or slide on sandals. Flats are a pretty obvious choice for tall people. Flat shoes, even sneakers with a low amount of padding, don't add height to what you already have. You can do a lot with flats, pairing them with skinny jeans for example. Most men's casual shoes are already flat, so just make sure you pick up a pair with a thinner sole.  Most women's flats lack sole support, so if you are going to wear flats, either use a padded insole or make sure you aren't going to be walking or standing for long periods of time. Wearing flats without support in the long term can lead to injuries that limit how much you can work and enjoy life. If you want to wear heels in spite of the fact that they add to your height, choose heels with straps around the ankles. Your goal is to break up the appearance of length in your feet, ankles, and legs. You also want heels with rounded toes to make your feet look smaller. Even with thicker heels, men's shoes are not usually designed with ankle straps. Men who want to be a little taller can simply wear dress shoes with thicker heels. For women, pairing skirts that hit above the knee with boots that go over the knee creates even more distinction between the top and bottom of your legs. Not only does this look make you look shorter, it is fashionable and can make you feel confident. A woman could wear shorts instead of a skirt in this situation. Just make sure that some skin is visible between the boots and clothes. When not in a business setting, patterned shoes for men are a good idea. They shorten the appearance of the feet, and since most tall men have big feet, this will add to a shorter appearance. Patterned shoes also draw attention to the feet, preventing people from looking...

TL;DR in Russian:

Выбирайте обувь, которая будет прикрывать большую часть ваших ног. Носите обувь на плоской подошве. Подберите правильную обувь на каблуке. Попробуйте носить сапоги выше колена. Мужчинам можно попробовать носить ботинки с узором.


If you went straight to bed from the pub or club, chances are you’re still reeking with the all the smells of the night before. Take a long shower. Wash well all over, from your hair to your toes. Fresh is best for the start of the day.  Have a bucket next to the shower in case you need to vomit. There's nothing pleasant about showering with vomit at your feet. Watch out for any club stamps you’ve got on your wrists. These will be a dead giveaway of the previous night’s activities. Again, pay a little more attention to detail than you would during a usual shower. If you have the time, repeat all your usual steps for a deeper clean. Today won’t be the day to relax your dress habits. Whatever the dress code of your work is, reach for its upper limits. Try to remember a day where you felt you looked your best, and dress exactly the same.  If your office dress is appropriately formal, go for the nicest pieces in your wardrobe. Don't go for something too flashy that will draw conversation. Iron or press anything that needs it. When the dress is casual, throw on whatever you’ve got that’s clean and doesn’t draw too much attention. Just take the time to make sure everything’s on the right way and fits well. Avoid looking disheveled this way. Even if you’ve showered and made sure to dress as well as you can, it won’t do much if you’re eyes are still bloodshot or sunken. The devil will definitely be in the details when it comes to making sure no one notices your hangover. Unfortunately, since it’s such a shared experience, most people can spot the subtle clues.  Use eye drops to remove red eyes. While you could plead a sudden attack of hay fever, this won't always work. Use the eye drops to clear up your eyes and avoid pointed questioning. Use makeup to hide those eye-bags. Eyeliner on the 'waterline' of the eye makes it look less bloodshot, and a dash of blush fakes the look of health that you will be sorely missing. Men can reach for a slice of cucumber or damp tea bags to fix sunken, swollen eyes. Nothing...

TL;DR in Russian:

Помойтесь. Хорошо оденьтесь. Осмотрите лицо. Приведите в порядок волосы. Проверьте дыхание. Позавтракайте.


If you were a little heavy-handed with the chili peppers, add some sugar or honey to the dish to correct the problem. Make sure to use very small amounts of sweetener so your savory dish does not turn into a dessert. Use acidic liquids like lemon or lime juice or vinegar to counteract the spiciness. You can even add a little ketchup or diced tomatoes to increase the acidity. Dairy complements spicy foods nicely, since the casein in milk prevents the pain receptors on the tongue from feeling the heat. Most cultures with spicy cuisine exploit this fact. Spicy Mexican food is served with sour cream, hot Indian curries or some Turkish kebabs are paired with yogurt, and Buffalo wings come alongside bleu cheese. Just like with dairy, starchy foods will help diffuse the spicy taste. Try serving your dish with potatoes, rice, pasta, or bread to make it easier to eat for you or your guests.

TL;DR in Russian:

Смягчите остроту за счет сладости. Добавьте кислоту. Подайте блюдо вместе с молочными продуктами. Подайте к блюду крахмалистые продукты.


If you were a part of the reason that the other person is upset, apologize to them for what you did.   If you do not feel that you did something wrong per se, you can still apologize for making them feel the way that they feel.  For example, if you did something “wrong,” you might say, “I am very sorry that I accidentally downloaded a virus that destroyed your computer.  I can understand why that would make you upset, and I will do whatever I can to help repair or replace the computer.” For example, if you did not do anything “wrong” but still upset someone, you could say, “I am sorry that I upset you by picking out the paint color for the living room myself.  I did not know that it was so important to you.  I will try to be more considerate of your feelings in the future.” ”  Using the words “I” and “you” can create a divide between you and the other person, although some people may prefer "I" and "you" as they don't like being treated as an extension of another person.  This divide may cause the tantrum-throwing party to become defensive or angrier.  However, using “we” or “us” implies that you are a team and might reduce some of the other person's angry feelings.  For example, the following may cause someone to become more defensive: “You should not be so upset about your computer crashing.  My computer crashed and I didn't get upset at all; I just went and got a new one.  You should do the same thing.” A better example of “team” communication would be, “What can we do together to solve this problem?  Can we take it to a repair shop, or is it time for us to invest in a newer, better computer?  We can get through this together and make the best of the situation.” It is important to avoid sounding condescending or frustrated while speaking with someone who is having a temper tantrum.  If they think that you are talking down to them, they may become angrier or stop listening to you.  It is also important to avoid sounding sarcastic.  Keeping your voice at a consistent volume and tone will help you sound more...

TL;DR in Russian:

Извинитесь за свой проступок. Говорите «мы» и «нам». Сохраняйте нейтральный или позитивный тон. Старайтесь придерживаться фактов. Поощряйте рациональные мысли.


If you were born perfectly cunning and ruthless, you may be a psychopath. Like any other skill, cunning is something that most people have to work at. Some people are naturally more cunning than others, while others are more gullible. Regardless of your starting point, know that you can always improve your ability to be cunning through practice. Try to find low-stakes opportunities for practice so that you’re well-prepared when the time comes to be cunning in a serious situation. Performing good-natured pranks and practical jokes are a good way to build many of the skills you’ll need to be cunning without exposing yourself to much risk. For example, many pranks require you to act, lie, suppress your emotions, and ascertain others’ true motives if you want the prank to go off without a hitch.    Cunning people are skeptics at heart. Never accept the information you’re supplied with or the impression someone gives you without thinking about it first. Constantly ask yourself whether the people you interact with seem genuine. Look for ways that these people may be distorting the truth or outright lying in order to advance their agenda. Investigative journalists routinely cut through mountains of lies and pretense to get to the truth. If you’re looking to sharpen your skeptic’s eye, you probably don’t need to go to journalism school, but you may benefit from researching and watching how journalists coax facts from their subjects in one-on-one interviews.    The great British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was noted for his cunning wit, among many other things. He had a reputation for crafting clever, biting quips and one-liners out of thin air. In fact, because of a speech impediment, he actually crafted most of his witty responses beforehand by trying to consider every possible objection he might face. Take Churchill’s success to heart. Before important situations, take time to imagine every possible way the situation may play out and have your responses planned. The worst case scenario with this approach is...

TL;DR in Russian:

Практика, практика, практика. Никогда не принимайте ничего за чистую монету. Просчитайте все возможные результаты. Учитесь на своих ошибках. Изучите себя.


If you were caught red-handed in the moment, or if your teacher has irrefutable evidence against you, you should confess. The worst thing you can do after being caught cheating is to dig yourself into a deeper hole. While it can be scary to be completely honest with an authority figure, it may be your only choice. It’s also the easier thing to do, because you won’t have to rely on being a good actor or keeping your story straight. Think about the last time someone lied to your face, and you knew they were lying. Not only did it probably not feel great, it probably also increased your anger. Don’t make your situation worse by lying. You got caught doing something wrong, and you should act sorry. Whether or not you genuinely feel it in your heart, act like you regret your decision to cheat. If you admit that you cheated with a huge smile on your face, you’ll most likely get a harsher punishment simply to teach you a lesson.  Be open about how you feel. If you feel the urge to cry, let those tears flow. The more emotion that your teacher sees from you, the better. If the authority figure sees that you are upset, they may be more lenient with punishment. Trying to play it cool is likely to backfire, because they'll think you need to be taught a lesson. This doesn’t mean you should start spouting off excuses, but rather give some rationale behind your actions. Instead of letting the teacher or counselor assume you are lazy or simply mischievous, try to offer them a reason they can understand. For example, tell them you were overwhelmed by the course material and simply were terrified of failing. It doesn’t undo the cheating, but everyone can relate to being scared. Make sure to tell your teacher that you studied for the test. It will look better for you if they know you did try to do well on your own.

TL;DR in Russian:

Согласитесь с тем, что вы списывали. Продемонстрируйте раскаяние. Объясните, почему вы решили списывать.

If you were impressed with the instruction you received and believe the class was outstanding, let your professor know. Maybe they had a way to take a dull subject and make it exciting or kept students engaged during class. Whatever the reasons, let them know you appreciate the effort they put into making class great. Even if you felt very challenged, let the professor know you learned a lot and challenged yourself. If you’re applying to graduate schools or for a job, you likely need letters of recommendation. If a professor agreed to write you a letter of recommendation, send a thank you once they’ve completed their letter. It’s work to write a letter of recommendation and send it out. Let them know you appreciate their efforts. If you professor helped you in any way, it’s nice to send some recognition. Maybe they talked to you about career choices or directed you to helpful resources. If they helped you in any way, let them know you appreciate their help. For example, they might have helped you look at graduate schools or given you pointers on other classes to take. Thank your professor as soon as you can. The sooner you say thank you, especially after a professor has done a favor for you, the better. Don’t wait weeks or even days. Prioritize your thank you and get it down as soon as possible. Within 24-hours of completing a favor is generally appropriate.   If they are your current professor for the term, consider saying thank you after grades are released.
