Dip a wide face-painting brush, with a width about equal to that of your thumb, into a container of white face paint. Start painting the arch at the inside end of your eyebrow and continue until you cover its entire length. Extend the bottom of the arch to your eyelid, just above your lash line, and the top of the arch 2 centimetres (0.79 in) above your eyebrow.  Position yourself and your face-paint kit in front of a mirror so you’ll be able to see your face as you paint it. You can find face paint and brushes at most craft stores and online. Adding a little red glitter gel will make your nose sparkle and add extra sparkle to your clown face. To add the glitter, just put some onto the tip of a fine brush and gently dab it onto the red circle. If you’re happy with your look, you can go ahead and skip this step.

TL;DR in Russian:

Нарисуйте белой краской для лица широкие дуги над бровями. Нанесите на красный круг на носу немного блестящего красного геля.


Dish soap and vinegar should both be safe to use on a bleach stain, but even so, read the bleach's directions and warnings before using those or any other product on the stain.  Many include lists of chemicals that should never be mixed with bleach, like ammonia, which can cause a toxic reaction. Double-check the ingredients of any cleaning or repair product that you intend to use to make sure it doesn't include any of those ingredients. Keep in mind that bleach can harm your skin. Always wear protective gloves before trying to wash bleach out of your carpet by hand. Do so even if the bleach has dried, since the chemicals are still present even though the moisture isn't. Fumes from bleach can be overpowering, causing lightheadedness, nausea, and other ailments. If you're using vinegar to clean it up, expect the combined smell to be even more overwhelming. Open some windows and/or set up some fans to draw the fumes away from you while you work on the stain.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прочитайте этикетку на отбеливателе, прежде чем приступить к очистке пятна. Наденьте перчатки. Работайте в хорошо проветриваемом помещении.


Distal radial fractures are very common in children, often occurring due to a fall or sports injury. Certain classifications (usually extra-articular) are specific to children, including the Torus fracture – a mild bulging of the cortex at the distal end of the radius. The cortex is the outer, hard part of the bone. In Torus fractures, there is no displacement because the fracture is incomplete. It heals rapidly with cast immobilization. Greenstick fractures are also incomplete; they occur when the bone is bent suddenly by a fall on an outstretched hand or a direct perpendicular blow. The convex side of the bone is broken, but the concave surface remains intact. Epiphyseal fractures occur at the growth plate of the radius and are subdivided into five types based on the location of the fracture line. Also known as a “Salter-Harris fracture,” an epiphyseal fracture sometimes involves premature fusion of the growth plate, leading to shortening of the limb.

TL;DR in Russian:

Перелом Торуса (компрессионный веретенообразный перелом). Перелом по типу «зеленой веточки». Эпифизарный перелом.


Divorce is a naturally painful process. Don’t make matters worse by being hard on yourself or expecting too much too soon. Take a few days to yourself, or with someone supportive, to vent or forget or whatever you need to do. It may seem silly, but it can be helpful to indulge yourself during this time. Get a soothing massage. Take long, hot baths as you ponder your feelings. Drink tea by the fire. Don’t worry so much about managing the everyday right away, just care for yourself and accept the pain. One of the most important relationships in your life is disintegrating. It’s normal and perfectly okay to feel like you should grieve. Depending on the particulars of your divorce, you may feel sadness, shock, despair, fear or anger among other emotions. There is no right way to grieve. Grieve in the way that feels most natural to you.  It may make grieving easier to avoid your spouse, if at all possible, during this time. Find a new route to work if you usually see her each day. Put away the photo albums or mementos that make you cry each time you pass. You should let yourself feel what you must. However, don’t allow your feelings to be in the driver’s seat. Doing this can result in impulsive decisions and actions occurring that you later regret, such as showing up at your ex’s doorstep begging her to reconsider. A support network is essential during divorce. Reach out to or accept support from those around you who love and support you. Be sure that the confidants you select have your best interests at heart and are not simply interested in hearing gossip or badmouthing your ex. Seek out people who are positive influences that give you a healthy outlook on life and encourage you to make good decisions. It can be tempting to turn to drugs, alcohol or other unhealthy behaviors during this difficult period in your life. These substances or activities may appear to numb your feelings, but it is only temporary. Find healthier methods of coping that boost your mood. Examples of healthy coping methods may include...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте деликатны сами с собой. Позвольте себе горевать. Окружите себя людьми, которые вас поддержат. Справляйтесь со стрессом в здоровом ключе. Обратитесь к психоаналитику, чтобы пережить развод.


Do an online search to find out what social media sites the company uses. Aim to create an account on the same site(s). Creating a professional social media account, like one on LinkedIn, can be a great way to network with people. When the time comes, you can use that network to get info about other businesses. Be sure to maintain your professional network even when you’re not searching for a job. Send a message to old coworkers once in a while to ask about them and stay in touch. This will make networking when you are searching for a job much easier. Once you’re interested in finding out whether a specific company is hiring, you can use this type of account to search for recruiters or hiring managers at the company, because they'll have the information you need. If you can't find the hiring manager or a recruiter specifically, look for employees at the company in the HR department. You can contact them and ask if they can point you in the right direction. It’s best to use this strategy only if you are using a professional social media site that’s designed for recruitment, such as LinkedIn. Employees may find it off-putting to get a message from a stranger looking for a job on sites like Facebook or Twitter. Once you’ve found a recruiter or hiring manager, send them a short message. Briefly outline your educational and work background and then ask if there are any open positions in your field. For example, you can write something like: “Dear Mr. Smith, I am interested in working for XYZ Plumbing, and I noticed that you are the hiring manager there. I am a certified plumber and have 6 years’ experience working as plumber for ABC plumbing, where I was promoted twice. I’d be very interested in knowing if your company has any current openings and how I might apply. Thank you very much for your time.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Создайте профессиональный аккаунт в социальных сетях. Ищите контактную информацию сотрудников отдела персонала. Свяжитесь с рекрутером или менеджером по подбору персонала.


Do not point its head down because the rabbit may then try to jump down, out of your arms, and may hurt itself. The rabbit will feel more secure being able to hide a bit.  Your rabbit should be held and carried securely under your arm, nestled comfortably under your “wing.” Some people call this the “football hold.”  If you are right handed, place the bunny’s head under your left arm.  Wrap your left arm around the outside of the rabbit while using your left hand to continue to securely hold the rabbit’s hind legs under it. Place your right hand gently over the bunny’s neck, ready to get a hold of the scruff should the bunny move suddenly. Do not hold your rabbit extended outward or swing it through the air. Ideally, place the rabbit on a table and restrain it while the other person gets a hold of the bunny. Don't try to pass the bunny in mid air. This could lead to the rabbit getting loose and falling from a great height. If you ever feel like you are losing control when carrying the rabbit, immediately crouch down to the ground or to a table to decrease the distance that it might fall. This will also give you a surface upon which to regroup and re-grip the bunny. Some rabbits really dislike being handled and no amount of treats or petting will change their personalities. For these types, it's best to use a carrying case to move them from one place to the next, rather than attempting to pick them up. Use one hand to hold the scruff to restrain the rabbit and get your other hand on the rump and “scrunch” the bunny in a “bunny ball” to transfer to the carrier.

TL;DR in Russian:

Держите свернутого шариком кролика таким образом, чтобы его голова была чуть выше попы. Осторожно поднесите кролика к своему боку (или к животу), немного накрывая рукой. Правильно передавайте кролика в руки другим людям. Ограничьте вероятность возникновения травм. Для особо прытких кроликов используйте переноску или пеленайте их.


Do not rely on articles or videos online to teach you how to administer insulin, whether it's via a syringe, inhaler, or another device. Your doctor can answer any questions and show you the correct way to use your device (for instance, with shots she will need to show you at which angle you should insert the needle). Your doctor will also give you your exact dosage and all the necessary prescriptions. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience an allergic reaction.  Some insulins are derived from animal sources, most commonly pork, and may cause allergic reactions in people that have severe allergies.  Common allergic reactions to insulin include local and systemic reactions. Local reactions occur as redness, minor swelling, and itching at the injection site. This type of skin reaction resolves in a few days to weeks.  Systemic allergic reactions can present as a rash or hives that covers large portions of the body, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing, decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and sweating. This is a medical emergency and you should call 911 or have someone take you to the emergency room if it is close by. Hypoglycemia occurs when your blood sugar level is too low. Insulin will make hypoglycemia worse; instead, you will need to consumer quick-acting carbohydrates or simple sugars.  Low blood sugar interferes with your brain’s ability to function properly. Symptoms of hypoglycemia can include dizziness, trembling, headache, blurred vision, having trouble concentrating, confusion, and sometimes trouble with speaking. Other symptoms can include tremor, heavy sweating, increased heart rate, feeling anxious, and hunger.</ref> Using fast-acting insulin in the midst of a hypoglycemic event will quickly drop your blood sugar even further and result in severe confusion, inability to communicate, and loss of consciousness.  If you mistakenly administer insulin when you are having a hypoglycemic event, quickly alert friends or family to seek medical attention, or call...

TL;DR in Russian:

Попросите доктора показать вам, как делать укол. Не используйте инсулин, если у вас на него аллергия. Не вводите инсулин, если у вас возник гипогликемический синдром. Осмотрите кожу на наличие липодистрофии. Правильно выбрасывайте использованные иглы. Не используйте иглу повторно и не делитесь ею ни с кем. Не меняйте марку инсулина. Никогда не используйте инсулин с истекшим сроком годности. Выбросьте инсулин, который стоит открытым уже 28 дней. Знайте, какой инсулин нужно использовать и его дозировку.


Do not seek out the other person for conversations or discussions. If you work with the other person, keep interaction limited and to a public area. Remain friendly and civil at all times, assuming behavior you'd exhibit with your child's school principal or another professional. If you have to correspond with the other person, keep it professional and concise. Don't add jokes or personal information during your interaction. If you're not required to email or call the flirtatious person, avoid contact. Never encourage the behavior after you've had a discussion or stopped interacting with the flirtatious person; this will send a mixed message and could rekindle the behavior. Keep any meeting limited to group situations and maintain limited to no contact with the specific person.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оставайтесь хорошими знакомыми. Ваша электронная переписка и телефонные звонки должны быть краткими и по существу. Не ищите кокетливого внимания со стороны других.


Do not try to force yourself to hold the eyes of every person you meet if you are uncomfortable. Start slowly, reminding yourself to make eye-contact in every conversation. It is easier to practice while listening to someone instead of while you are talking. Smile and nod along to the conversation, rotating your gaze though both eyes, the person's nose, and mouth. When talking, don't feel like you have to make eye-contact the entire time-- change your expression or look away to keep the other person's interest. If you struggle with real people, you can practice with a screen or mirror. Try to make eye-contact with every character you can on TV or video blogs. News channels, where the anchor looks right at the camera, are a great way to practice comfortably in your home. Making eye-contact is a sign of trust, reliability, and openness, and helps in a variety of social settings. However, there are some settings when it is vital for success:   Job Interviews: Good eye-contact tells a boss that they can trust you. Be sure to look them in eyes while you talk, as it assures them that you know what you're talking about.   Dates: Eye-contact can help you make an intimate connection, but it can be difficult to look away in a one-on-one setting. Hold your gaze longer than usual to show your attraction.   Arguments: Strong eye-contact is a mark of assertiveness and power. Hold your opponent's gaze for longer periods of time so you do not appear weak or unsure of yourself.

TL;DR in Russian:

Прилагайте сознательные усилия, чтобы установить зрительный контакт с человеком. Установите «контакт со всем лицом» человека, чтобы ваш взгляд в его глаза был более естественным. Практикуйтесь перед экраном телевизора, веб-камерой или зеркалом. Определите ситуации, когда устанавливать зрительный контакт крайне необходимо.


Do not use a metal bowl, since the acidic properties of lime juice can have a chemical reaction with the metal that could taint your food. Popular choices include salmon, ahi tuna, halibut, tilapia, and sea bass, but many types of fish and other seafood can actually be used for the dish. Make sure that the fish is completely covered by the lime juice. All the fish to sit in the lime juice mixture for at least 8 hours or until the fish turns white and opaque. Stir it occasionally as it sits to make sure that the lime juice is evenly distributed.  The acid in the lime juice breaks the fish down in a chemical reaction that actually "cooks" the fish without the use of heat. Note that some fish, like ahi and salmon, will not turn white upon being cooked, even though they will become opaque. For these types of fish, you may need to poke the fish with a fork to see if it flakes. Stir, and allow all the ingredients to sit for another 30 minutes. Do not add these vegetables into the lime juice at the start of the process, however, since the acid in the lime juice may break them down too much and make them mushy by the time you serve the ceviche. Some versions of ceviche actually include the lime juice mixture in the serving dish, however, so you could also dish it out with a standard serving spoon.

TL;DR in Russian:

Do so if your canker sore does not go away after 4 days or if you have experienced chronic canker sores. Call your doctor if your canker sore is larger than a dime. There are many chronic causes of canker sores that you and your physician will be able to discuss. Vitamin deficiency is often a cause of chronic canker sores, but depression, hormonal imbalance, and immune disorders like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and a rare condition called Bechet’s disease can also cause ulcers too.  SLE is an autoimmune disease where there is oral involvement in about 50% of cases.  These oral ulcers look like irregularly shaped raised white plaques.Treatment for these lesions include topical or intralesional glucocorticoids.  Behcet's  disease is another rare disease that leads to mouth ulcers. It is a neutrophilic inflammatory disorder with recurrent oral and genital ulcers,  Recurrent ulcers along with lesions in the genital, eye, or skin are required for the diagnosis. The mucocutaneous manifestations of Behcet’s disease can be treated with colchicine. Inflammatory bowel disease is also known to be associated with mouth ulcers, particularly aphthous stomatitis.  This form of mouth ulcers is the  most common cause of mouth ulcers. Risk factors for mouth ulcers include family history, trauma, hormonal factors, food or drug hypersensitivity, immunodeficiencies, and emotional distress. Treatment for oral ulcers involve triamcinolone in an over the counter treatment called Orabase. There are no tests for canker sores. Doctors can tell just by looking at it, if it is a form of cold sore or if it is a canker sore. Canker sores are shallow crater-like spots on the mucus tissue of the mouth. They are immediately recognizable by their round shape, reddish edge, and general whitish/grayish color. Be sure to note the number and longevity of your canker sores. They’ll be able to determine if you have a chronic condition. If you’ve had a couple in a week or so, your doctor will likely tell...

TL;DR in Russian:

Do some  research on productivity levels and online browsing––the best way to convince your boss that online freedom for all is a good thing is to provide him or her with cold hard facts! You'll need tangible reasons and facts as to how unrestrained browsing will benefit employee productivity and corporate growth:  Use reputable studies, such as The National University of Singapore study, Impact of Cyberloafing on Psychological Engagement, by Don J.Q. Chen and Vivien K.G Lim. Print out the The Wall Street Journal article that discusses the results of this study:  "The researchers found that the Web-surfers were significantly more productive and effective at the tasks than those in the other two groups and reported lower levels of mental exhaustion, boredom and higher levels of engagement." "Because Web-surfing can aid productivity, the researchers caution employers against over-restricting workers' Web access. They recommend that managers allow time for limited personal Web browsing 'since it has a salubrious impact on employees' productivity,' while limiting access to personal emails."   Search for studies that pertain to your specific industry. For more credibility, search for studies that address your particular situation. For example, if you work in a bank, identify studies that have demonstrated increased marketability or employee productivity amongst banks when employees have been allowed to surf the net during their break or in order to research the competition. An easy way to dig up this kind of info is to go to http://scholar.google.com and search for "internet surfing employees bank" (replacing "bank" with your industry). What area of your job (and other positions at the company) could be enhanced by more online freedom? No doubt areas such as research, sales and marketing, clarification of legal and financial issues, etc., could be enhanced by unrestrained online browsing but so too can simply knowing what's happening out there with competitors and customers. Go through each department and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Подготовьте речь о выгодах неограниченного доступа к Интернету. Подумайте, какие выгоды может принести пользование Интернетом на рабочем месте, особенно индивидуальное пользование. Познакомьтесь с полем боя. Обдумайте все отрицательные стороны свободного доступа к сети. Сделайте обзор официально политики по вопросу выхода в Интернет.


Do some consumer research by testing out the five or so names with potential customers and see how they respond to the names. You can even talk about the names with a focus group, seeing how a group of people reacts to each name and hearing what they have to say about the feeling that each word evokes. Hearing how other people would react to the name can help you find the best fit. Just make sure that you're testing the names on people who might actually make up your customer base. Different names resonate with different types of people. This may sound silly, but you can get a better sense of what works for each name when you write it down, draw it, or even start doodling a potential logo. Having a sense of how the word would look on the page can help you see if this name is something that you can see on top of your business stationery or hanging above your store. Saying each name aloud will help you see which name rolls off the tongue the most smoothly, and which name sounds the best when said aloud. This can give you an idea of how the name of your business would sound if you heard it over the radio or over the phone. If you've narrowed your list down to two or three names that meet all of your criteria, but you just can't settle on one, just think about the one that will feel the most right. Which name would you love to have representing your business? If you really aren't happy with any of the names you're left with, keep brainstorming. If professional naming companies can take months to come up with the perfect name, then you should certainly spend more than a day or two on this difficult decision.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проведите исследование. Напишите каждое название. Скажите каждое название вслух. Доверяйте своим чувствам.


Do things to consume your time. When your schedule is full of activities that keep you productive and distracted, you won't have the time to dwell on the fact that you are lonely. Volunteer. Find a part-time job. Join a book club, or a new gym with interesting group classes. Tackle a few DIY projects. Just get out of your head.  What hobbies do you enjoy? What are you naturally good at? What have you always wanted to do that you've never gotten around to doing? Take this opportunity and do it. It's easy to sit at home and allow the day to pass with the cast of your favorite sitcom. However, when you remain in the same environment, the pangs of loneliness will only get worse. Go to a cafe to do your work. Go to the park and simply sit on a bench to watch the passersby. Give your brain some stimuli to distract you from your negative feelings. Spending time in nature can have a positive impact on your mental health. Getting outside can actually reduce stress, and may also help improve your physical health as well. So, grab a blanket and read a book on the park grass. Doing this regularly just might lift your spirits. Doing things you are passionate about can relieve your feelings of loneliness. Think about what makes you feel good. Meditating? Reading European literature? Singing? Go for it. Take some of your precious time and spend it nurturing your passions. Or, ask a peer from school, a buddy at the gym or your neighbor if they want to join you. New friend made. Refrain from using substances to dull the pain of feeling lonely. Find healthy activities that make you feel good - not just temporary fixes that only cover the wound. Sometimes, you may be so desperate to get past your feelings of loneliness that you'll take just about any chance that offers itself to be less lonely. Be careful not to seek out bad influences or people who only want to use you. Sometimes, the vulnerability that comes with being lonely can make you a target of manipulative or abusive people. Signs of people who are not interested in a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Займите себя. Поменяйте среду. Занимайтесь тем, что вызывает у вас положительные эмоции. Следите за появлением предупреждающих знаков. Сосредоточьте свое внимание на близких. Найдите себе подобных. Заведите домашнего питомца. Подумайте о других.


Do this by running cool water over the bleeding area for several minutes. In this way potential infectants are expelled from the wound and washed away, minimizing entry into the bloodstream. Once the virus enters your bloodstream, it may start to multiply, so it is best to keep the virus cells from entering the bloodstream in the first place. Gently cleanse the site of the needle stick or sharps entry with plenty of soap after you have bled the wound and flooded the site. This will help to kill viruses and bacteria, removing sources of infection and reducing the chance of infection.  Do not scrub the wound while you're washing it. This can make the injury worse. Never try to suck the wound. Use a sterile material to dry the wound and immediately cover the wound with a waterproof plaster or dressing. If the contents of the needle splashed to nose, mouth, face or other skin areas, wash them well with soap. Gently flush the eyes if any splashing occurred there. Place clothing in a sealed bag awaiting washing and sterilization. After undressing, wash your hands and parts of the body that were in contact with the potentially infectious clothing, then don fresh clothing.

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте крови вытечь в месте укола иглой. Промойте рану. Высушите и закройте рану. Смойте капли крови с других частей тела и одежды с помощью воды.

Do this by tapping the white speech bubble on a green background icon. It should be on one of your Home screens.  All data from the selected conversation will be deleted from your iPhone. If you downloaded any media from the conversation to your Camera Roll, it will still be stored there.

Do this gently and lightly to increase the circulation around the area. If you press too hard, you could make the hickey worse. Use a brand-new toothbrush. The redness and swelling will spread, but it will tone down if you wait. Leave it there for another 15-20 minutes. If you see that your hickey is less noticeable, try the method again. If you see that you've made it worse by brushing too hard, then keep icing it and wait for it to go away.

TL;DR in Russian:

Потрите засос и место вокруг зубной щеткой с жесткой щетиной. Подождите 15–20 минут. Приложите к засосу холодный компресс. Повторите, если понадобится.


Do this on your own or with a friend. If possible, get access to a piano or a musical instrument that is important in the musical score. Then, read all the dialogue out loud and sing the songs to the tune of the musical instrument. Notice how the dialogue and the songs sound aloud. Pay attention to any dialogue that feels confusing or clumsy. Check that the songs relate to the dialogue in someway and sound polished. You may underline or mark any sections that feel off to you. You can then go back and revise them so until they are at their best. Stage directions tell the actors where they are situated on stage and how they are approaching a scene or a song. Keep the stage directions concise and to the point. Do not include stage direction that feels long winded or convoluted.  For example, if you want to notate that there is going to be a musical number in a scene, you would add in “Music starts playing (insert musical number here)” into the script. This will signal to the actors that a song is going to be performed. You should also include details about where the actors enter from into a scene, such as STAGE RIGHT or STAGE LEFT. You should include notes about a character’s reaction, but only if it is an important reaction in the scene. For example, “VELMA (aghast) How could you do that?” or “JOHN (crying) I can’t sing anymore.” Once you have a polished script, you should try to have it performed on stage. You may contact actors in your area and hire them to perform the musical at your local theater. Or you may try to get the musical performed by a prominent theater company in your area. You may also seek out actors and playwrights who have had success to get advice on how you can get your musical produced.

TL;DR in Russian:

Просмотрите мюзикл. Добавьте сценические ремарки. Найдите актеров для мюзикла.


Do this repeatedly. Make sure that you are inserting your hand slowly and in a non-threatening way. Don’t shake your hand around needlessly. Don’t shake the cage or hit your bird. Your goal is to teach your bird to trust that your hand won’t hurt it.  Lots of parakeets may fly around or squawk at you. However, remain still so it can determine that nothing will happen at this point. After your bird gets used to your hand being in its space, a treat will tell your bird to value your hand. Your hand should signify a safe and even beneficial addition to its space. The ideal treats will be made of grain or seed. They should be big enough for your bird to recognize, but small enough for your bird to pick up off of your hand. Perches come in many sizes. Most look like wooden dowels. Some are made out of metal. They all range in size. You should choose a comfortable perch that extends from your hand  around 4 to 5 inches. Your goal with this step is to get your bird used to perching near your hand. The dowel will eventually be replaced by your fingers. This will be the physical cue that tells your parakeet to step onto the perch. Make sure that you don’t jab your parakeet too hard. If you do, your parakeet will associate the perch and your hand (or presence) negatively. Let’s say your parakeet’s name is Petee. You’d say “up, up, up Petee” while nudging its chest. This will add an auditory cue for your bird to learn. Eventually, you may be able to have your parakeet hop onto your finger with one or the other signal. This includes gentle pets on the back of its head or additional treats. In this respect, parakeets are like dogs and cats. They need some positive reward in order to learn the trick. Some parakeets don't like to be petted. If your parakeet is one of these, stick to treats. Make sure that you choose treats that are made from natural seeds, vegetables, and grains. Every parakeet is different and will prefer different treats. Experiment and figure out what your parakeet likes the most. Place the dowel and...

TL;DR in Russian:

По несколько раз в день опускайте руку в клетку к волнистому попугаю. Предлагайте попугайчику угоститься лакомством из ваших рук. Познакомьте попугая с жердочкой в вашей руке. Пробуйте осторожно подталкивать попугайчика жердочкой под грудь. Произносите кличку попугая и подавайте команду “садись”. Когда попугайчик будет садиться на жердочку, не скупитесь на похвалу. Начните заменять жердочку своим пальцем. Пробуйте вынимать волнистого попугайчика из клетки, пока он сидит на вашем пальце. Привлеките друзей и остальных членов вашей семьи к приручению попугайчика тем же образом. Позвольте питомцу садиться на различные части вашего тела.


Do this with the tip of a knife or your fingertip. Be sure to tap gently, since the puri is crispy and fragile. Scoop in some of the mashed potato and chickpea filling. If you wish, you can add other fillings, too, like chutney, yogurt sauce or green moong dal sprouts. Spoon in enough to fill about half of the puri. Submerge the filled puri in the bowl of pani so that the extra space fills with the spicy water. Don't keep it underwater too long, or it will get soft. It's necessary to serve and eat pani puri right away, before it gets soggy and falls apart. Eat the whole thing in one or two quick bites. If you're serving guests, you can have them assemble their own pani puri so they experience the best texture possible.

TL;DR in Russian:

Слегка нажмите на центр пури, чтобы сделать отверстие размером около 1 см. Наполните пури небольшим количеством начинки. Обмакните пури в пани. Ешьте пани пури, пока он хрустящий.


Do your own thing, and let others do theirs. If they're not hurting anyone, what's the problem? Chill people don't look for reasons or opportunities to hate on others just for being different. There's no reason to bully or tread on other people's territory. Try to be happy with yourself and encourage self-love in others, too and remember be yourself. Unless someone is rude to you, your day should go by smoothly by being polite, considerate, and nice. Chill people don't antagonize for the sake of it or stir up a bunch of negative emotions by being jerks; chill people are generally kind and get along well with others. However, try to avoid going overboard so you don't become a people-pleaser or pushover. Take your life in stride. Roll with the punches and be accepting of the little things life throws your way, reserving your passion for what matters to you most. This is pretty much the defining feature of a chill person. Don't be someone who is really boring and afraid to try new things. Go out and do stuff you consider fun and be someone that other people want to spend time with. Talk with people, go see movies, play games, go on hikes or go camping: it's all good! Be unique. A chill person doesn't feel the need to follow all the trends set by others, they just do what they want and what makes them happy. This laid back attitude inspires others to be more laid back and people will want to be around you more often.

TL;DR in Russian:

Не драматизируйте. Всегда будьте вежливы. Не переживайте из-за мелочей. С вами должно быть весело проводить время. Не гоняйтесь за модой!


Doctors do not know exactly what causes atopic dermatitis, or  eczema. The severity of the rash and the itch can range from mild to severe, and it often has intermittent flare-ups that can be random or associated with certain triggers such as soaps, detergents, or other allergens.  The following may also trigger a bout of eczema:  Skin staph infections Asthma Certain foods, particularly if you are allergic Stress Sweat Environmental changes, such as temperature or humidity levels Tobacco smoke or air pollution Symptoms vary widely depending on the person. Most people develop symptoms before age 5. These include:  Itchiness, especially at night -- eczema may even disturb your sleep Severe dry skin that may crack or become scaly Patchy skin with red or brownish-gray color Rash Small bumps or blisters that may burst and crust when scratched Intermittent flare-ups of rash and itch Dry skin on its own, without redness, bumps/blisters, or other symptoms, is usually caused by your environment, rather than a medical condition. Other skin conditions, such as psoriasis, hives and fungal infections of the skin such as ringworm, can also cause dry skin and itching.  Symptoms of plaque psoriasis include thick, red, scaly patches of skin; dry skin that may crack and bleed; itching and burning; changes to your fingernails and toenails; and joint pain. These symptoms are usually cyclical. You should seek medical attention for psoriasis. Symptoms of hives include pink or red swollen bumps; swelling that may appear and disappear; and welts or bumps that may occur over a large area of skin. Hives are often triggered by allergic reactions. You should seek medical attention for hives. You can often control the itch at home, but your should see your doctor if any of the following apply:  Your eczema is disrupting your ability to function You have a lot of pain Your skin looks infected (redness, pus, scabs, swelling) Your attempts to manage the itch have not been successful You believe you are experiencing difficulty with your vision.

Doctors do not know what causes male breast cancer, but are aware that certain factors can increase your risk of developing the disease. Being aware of your potential risk can prompt you to check yourself and see your doctor regularly. The following factors can increase your risk of male breast cancer:  Age — most men who have breast cancer develop it after age 60 Exposure to estrogen — either through medication as a part of a sex-change procedure or hormone therapy for prostate cancer Family history — if you have one or more close family members who developed breast cancer, you are more likely to get the disease Klinefelter’s syndrome, which causes your body to produce less male hormones and more female hormones Liver disease, such as cirrhosis, which increases female hormones in your system Obesity Alcoholism Exposure to radiation on your chest area Certain testicle diseases or types of surgery on your testicles Gynecomastia, or abnormal enlargement of both male breasts BRCA2 gene mutation Men have small amounts of breast tissue and any changes should be evaluated. Many men don’t think about the health of their breasts, but there are several signs and symptoms of male breast cancer to watch for. You may notice these during routine activities such as showering or changing your clothes. The following may be signs of male breast cancer:  Thickening of your breast tissue Developing a painless lump in your breast Changing texture of the skin on your breast including dimpling, puckering, redness or scaling Inverting of your nipple Having clear or bloody discharge from your nipple Experiencing pain in your breast Developing sores on your nipple or areola Having enlarged lymph nodes under your arm You may notice some irregularities develop on your chest or breast(s) as a result of male breast cancer. Keeping an eye on your breasts and skin can alert you to perform a breast self exam and see your doctor.  Check your chest and breast skin regularly so that you can more easily detect changes to them. Stand in front of...

TL;DR in Russian:

Doctors often order a battery of tests to try to clearly show the underlying infection:  Blood tests for evidence of: infection, clotting, abnormal liver or kidney function, impaired oxygen availability, electrolyte imbalances Test other bodily fluids: Urine may be checked for signs of bacteria. Wound secretions can help show what type of antibiotic might work best. Respiratory secretions from coughing up mucus (sputum) may determine what type of germ is causing the infection. Imaging scans are used as tests to help visualize internal problems including in soft tissue infections, such as in lungs, liver, pancreas, bowels, spine, etc.

TL;DR in Russian:

Диагностировать сепсис бывает непросто, так как наблюдаемые признаки и симптомы могут быть вызваны и другими заболеваниями.


Doctors recommend 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Less sleep can result in 10% lower testosterone levels. Less sleep can also make it difficult to lose weight. Moving around more and sitting less will balance your hormones, decrease stress, and result in weight loss. Buy a pedometer. Make sure you hit at least 10,000 steps per day during the course of your daily routine. Stress produces the hormone cortisol and interrupts the production of hormones such as testosterone.  Focus on creating a work/life balance. Spend 2 hours a day on leisure activities you enjoy. Try to bring your workday down to 10 hours or less.  Start meditation, deep breathing, yoga, tai chi, and/or qigong. These activities can reduce stress and help you sleep better. If you don’t think you have time, start by taking four 2-3 minutes throughout the day to take 25 deep breaths per break. If low testosterone has affected your sex life, then consider changing sexual activity to the morning. Testosterone levels are naturally higher in the morning.

TL;DR in Russian:

Хорошо высыпайтесь ночью. Ведите активный образ жизни. Избавьтесь от источников стресса. Занимайтесь сексом в первой половине дня.


Does he bring you coffee? Give you rides home? Unless he's really that much of a good citizen, chances are that he's not doing it out of the goodness of his heart only. He must be attracted to you and must want something more from you than just a "thank you" for all the nice stuff he's been doing for you. Is he asking if you need his help with everything from home repairs to shoveling the snow of your driveway? Is he cooking for you because you've had a long day? If he's always around and finding ways to get close to you and to be in your presence, then it's likely that he's attracted to you. If a guy is interested in a girl, he will try to impress her.  Even risk serious injury like jumping off cliffs into water or ride on trunks of moving cars or anything else to gain your attention and care if he does get hurt. If he's not generally a risk taker or if he takes his risk-taking to a new level when you're around, then chances are that he's doing it just to impress you. See if he tries to catch your eye or look at you after he's done the risky thing -- if so, then he's really just doing it to get a reaction from you. A guy would not flirt with a girl he wasn't attracted to. If a guy flirts with you, then he probably is testing you to see if the feelings are mutual. Seemingly harmless flirting may mask his fear of getting rejected if he were to ask you out outright. See if he's playful around you, if he teases you, and if he likes to make you laugh. Just make sure he's not the kind of guy who flirts with every girl he sees. If he's a chronic flirt and that's just his way of talking to women, then it may not mean as much as it would if he were just flirting with only you. Do you notice unhappiness in him if you go for coffee or lunch with a male co-worker? Does he watch who is around you? If you have a male friend is he a little critical of him? His jealousy may not come out in the most obvious ways, but if he's truly jealous of you and another guy, he'll call attention to the fact that you're hanging out with...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание, делает ли он вам одолжения. Посмотрите, не ищет ли он причину, чтобы находиться возле вас. Обратите внимание, делает он что-то вызывающее перед вами. Посмотрите, флиртует ли он с вами. Отметьте для себя, ревнует ли он вас к другим мужчинам. Обратите внимание, дарит ли он вам маленькие подарки. Посмотрите, ведет ли он себя как джентльмен рядом с вами. Посмотрите, следит ли он за своей внешностью, когда вы рядом. Обратите внимание, ходит ли он в том же темпе, что и вы.


Does he have a good personality that you are attracted to? Are you genuinely attracted to him or are you just flattered that someone would ask you out? Would you really consider starting a serious relationship with him?  If you answered yes to most of these questions, maybe he is someone you'd want to get into a relationship with. However, it's best that you get to know him better if you don't already know him well enough to go out with him. If you answered no to most of these questions, perhaps you should reconsider your answer to him. You could decline or you could take the chance and go out with him, but remember to make sure you choose an answer that makes you happy and that you won't regret later. Don't be afraid to take your time when deciding. Entering a relationship with someone is a decision that should be taken seriously. Remember that other partners will be available in the future so don't feel pressured to accept an offer from a person who you don't truly desire. Write down the traits you want your ideal partner to have. Consider things like religious beliefs, hobbies, career goals, ethics, physical features, sexual preferences, and lifestyle choices. Order them from most important to least important so you can determine which features you would be willing to compromise on. Next, try and discern how many of these features are mirrored in the guy who asked you out. Think about whether you want to go out with him because you genuinely enjoy his company, or because you're trying to cover up insecurities. By accepting his invitation, you've started something with him, and you cannot end it after one day with him. Remember that boys are not toys - they have their own feelings as well, and you should respect that. This can be a good option if you're too taken aback or uncertain to respond immediately. If the guy cannot respect that, maybe you shouldn't consider dating him at all. However, if he truly cares about you and he respects your request then it's a good sign that he's worth your time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Подумайте, действительно ли вы хотите встречаться с этим человеком. Подумайте о качествах, которые хотите видеть в партнере. Оцените свои мотивы для согласия. Попросите время на размышление в течение урока или одного дня.


Does he only want to hang out with you at night? Does he ever even just want to spend time with you? Maybe he coincidentally only has time for you when you have an invitation to a cool party. Start paying close attention to when he wants to see you, because this can say a lot about his intentions. If he only wants to be in the bedroom, that's a huge red flag. If he never wants to take you around his friends, but would rather always be alone in his home, that may mean he isn't interested in making you a public and "official" part of his life. Think about the details of each. Consider things like how often he says or does something that bothers you, or makes you uneasy. Making a list is a great way to gather your thoughts and voice the concerns that may have only been brewing in your head up until now.  Is this a repeated behavior, or are you holding a grudge over something he did once, six months ago? While you should look out for yourself and stand your ground, there are also times when you have to be willing to forgive and forget if he's said sorry. Forgetting to call you when he said he would is annoying. Blowing you off on your birthday because he had something else to do is unacceptable. Go down the list and be honest about how bad his actions are, and how down they make you feel. Sometimes people around you can see things that you can’t. Rumors, warnings, and advice from people can all be useful when you’re feeling conflicted. Keep in mind, however, that only you and your boyfriend are in the relationship. Don’t air out the dirty laundry of your relationship to anyone and everyone who will listen. This can create more problems. Only consult trustworthy and well-intentioned people. If you've examined the situation, spoken to people you trust, and decided your suspicion is silly, decide how to move on. Maybe you have some confidence issues you need to address to feel secure in the relationship. If you are certain that there are valid reasons to be uneasy, then you'll need to figure out how to confront the...

TL;DR in Russian:

Когда Где Составьте список всех тревожных сигналов и предупреждающих знаков. Поговорите с друзьями и членами семьи, которым доверяете. Решите, что делать.


Does your friend seem true or false to you? Do you feel comfortable and happy around this person or do you feel awkward, controlled and/or unhappy around him or her? Does your friend inspire and motivate you or send shivers of angst and worry down your spine? Do you have evidence that this person supports you or badmouths you? Remind yourself that no friend is better than a bad friend, and that you will find a new friend if this one proves to be false. Also, sometimes your friendship circle as a whole may decrease in size but will increase in value, so let that be your guide. When making your decision, keep in mind that the fact you have had to question this friend's loyalty is a red flag. Generally, the only people you owe loyalty to are those who don't cause you to question theirs.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проанализируйте полученную информацию и оцените свою дружбу, используя приведенные выше предложения.


Dog's can suffer from whiplash and neck sprain quite easily. Anything from a sudden halting brake during a car ride to jerking his head around playing catch or running with other dogs could have caused your pet to experience some neck pain. Your vet will want to run tests and may require X-rays, CT scans, or an MRI to rule out any more serious conditions. It's important to rule out those conditions, as many debilitating illnesses and infections that cause neck pain require quick medical treatment. Even a severe spinal trauma may require corrective surgery. If your dog is suffering from a sprained neck, your vet may prescribe muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medication to treat the pain and facilitate movement. Allow your dog plenty of time to rest and recover. Do not be tempted to give human pain relief medication to your dog unless instructed to do so under veterinary supervision.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оцените травму собаки. Назначьте визит к ветеринару. Обеспечьте собаке поддерживающий уход.


Dogs are shy when confronted with things they do not understand. If the dog wasn't exposed to something as a puppy, their natural reaction is to be cautious around it as an adult. Also, dogs that associate an object with fear or punishment (such as a dog struck with an umbrella), may be shy or fearful of the object (an umbrella).  Dogs may become shy because of unfamiliar people, certain situations, or objects. Often this is simply because of a lack of familiarity. Shy behavior is commonly the result of poor socialization, insufficient guidance, or even past abuse. Some behaviors in particular that are indicative of shyness include the four Fs: freeze, fight, flight, and fool around. The fight and flight behaviors are fairly straightforward, as they are the same as human response to fear. Freeze is simply when the dog freezes in place in reaction to a stressor. Fool around, however, can be more complicated, but it is similar to a person laughing nervously or fidgeting. In dogs, fooling around can be wild bursts of energy, jumping, pawing, etc. Most dogs are shy or lack confidence because of poor socialization as a puppy, rather than physical abuse. If, however, you suspect your dog has experienced abuse, you should meet with a certified behaviourist to assess and work with your dog.  If you are bringing a new dog home, some signs of abuse may be cuts, sores, etc. If the dog has been out of the abuser's care for a long time, you may not notice sores, but there may be scars.  The dog's shyness itself could be a sign of prior abuse, but you may also see hostility, aggressiveness, illness, distress, or other signs of inadequate socialization.

TL;DR in Russian:

Запомните, что пугливость может возникать из-за замешательства. Обращайте внимание на признаки пугливости. Выявите пугливость, рождаемую прошлым плохим обращением.


Dogs may become infected with worms from old feces that remains in your backyard. Use a poop scooper to clean up your dog’s feces every day. Do not allow it to build up or it may pose a health hazard to your dog. Wash your dog's bedding at least once per week as well. Doing so will help to prevent fleas and other pests from breeding in your dog's blankets or bed. Keeping your dog’s play area or kennel run very clean is one of the best ways to prevent hookworms. Hookworms live in soil and may either get into a dog through the skin on his feet or get ingested by the dog while he is grooming his feet.  If you have a concrete kennel for your dog, clean it with a solution of bleach diluted in water. Use one part bleach to 32 parts water.  In severe cases of hookworm infestation in grass runs, you may want to consider treating the area with sodium borate. Just keep in mind that the sodium borate will kill the grass along with the worms. Dogs like to walk with their noses to the ground and sniff for other animals. Unfortunately, they sniff feces and urine of other animals and may come in contact with parasites. If you notice any feces in your path, steer your dog away from it. Keep your dog away from other dogs or cats that may be infected with worms. If you encounter an unfamiliar dog or cat during a walk, keep your dog away from it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Регулярно убирайте место, где живет собака, чтобы избавиться от мусора и остатков фекалий. Регулярно мойте будку. Держитесь подальше от фекалий других собак, когда выгуливаете своего питомца.


Doing a bit of learning about how horoscopes developed and how they have been used throughout history will help you to see that they are just a pseudo-science. The signs aren't even in the same positions as they once were. Due to the fact that all the planets are constantly changing their positions, these cycles in fact never actually repeat themselves, making each person an absolute individual. A single horoscope can therefore never capture the breadth of personality and destiny of any single person. For example:   The Sun is a star with a large mass. Extensive research undertaken on earthquakes and the positions of the planets has shown that they strongly affect the rate of earthquakes and that the Sun has no greater effect than any of the other planets.[citation needed]  Depending on the Suns' relationship to the the other planets, the nature of the influences can in fact be the exact opposite of what is traditionally stated in sun-sign astrology. Due to the fact that the characteristics of the sun-sign can be the same as the traditional characteristics, the opposite, or somewhere in between, there can be no sound statistical method that would work just based on the traditional characteristics of the sign.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите историю гороскопов. Подумайте, как позиции звезд могли измениться с тех пор, как первые гороскопы были созданы. Поймите, что планеты, галактики и скопления галактик постоянно двигаются в просторах вселенной, что сводит на нет вероятность рождения нескольких людей под одним знаком зодиака. Заметьте, что солнечный гороскоп подвержен серьезным ограничениям со стороны науки, например:

Domestic meat and dairy production requires a lot of natural resources. Eating less meat and dairy, and more plants, is one way you may be able to help the environment, and stay healthy yourself.  If you are advised to maintain animal protein in your diet, look for more sustainable practices such as localized farms, or learn to hunt responsibly. Meatless Monday is a national non-profit public health campaign that encourages people to give up meat one day a week. Visit their website at http://www.meatlessmonday.com/favorite-recipes/ for some meatless recipes. Try to avoid drinking coffee from individual-serving coffee pods. The mini pods of ground coffee for single-serve coffee makers create a lot of extra waste because they are designed to only be used one time and then thrown out. (Although some brands may be recycled after they are cleaned).  Use a mug or other reusable cup for your coffee instead of a disposable cup. If you love the convenience of single-serve coffee and have already invested in a single-serve machine, look for a washable, reusable coffee pod that will fit your appliance. Transporting food from far-off locations takes a toll on the environment. Food must be shipped in trucks, by rail, flight, or by ship—all of which produce pollutants. Buying food that is sourced locally will help eliminate or reduce the environmental impact caused by transportation. It also goes without saying that local products are more fresh. Hence, they are higher in nutrient value.   Visit farmers' markets to find local vegetables and fruits or use a CSA (community-supported agriculture) service to get fresh produce on a regular basis. Plan your meals so that you don’t cook more than you will eat. Store your leftovers and use them up at one of your meals over the next few days. If you do have an overrun of food, such as after a party, share it with friends or neighbors.

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните употреблять в пищу меньше мяса и молочных продуктов. Готовьте кофе с помощью обычного кофейника или френч-пресса. Покупайте продукты местного производства, чтобы сократить загрязнение окружающей среды во время перевозки. Не выбрасывайте продукты.


Don't avoid your problem by shoving it under the rug. Tackle your work problem head-on and be aggressive in your strategies to prevail! If you are deciding between important job offers that each would lead you on a different course in your professional life, don't wait until the last minute to decide. Instead, gather all the information you can about each job and talk with others to make a well informed decision you will be happy about. Make pros/cons lists and to help you tackle your work problem. Think of your problem as an opportunity to improve yourself and take on new responsibilities. It can be a chance to show your boss a side of you they have never seen, which might lead to some sort of promotion. Take away all of your assumptions about your problem to help you overcome them. For example, make a list of the assumptions about a product in your industry. Then, think about what would happen if they weren't there or you did the opposite. For example, Cirque du Soleil challenged our common assumptions of what a 'circus' was, and made something innovative and profitable. Do you want to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or run your own restaurant? Write down your ultimate goal, and then break it down into smaller goals. Each one of these smaller goals will help in the pursuit of your larger goal. Ensure that your goals are attainable and measurable, so you can monitor your progress. Celebrate in some way after reaching each goal. Visualize what you want your life to look like in five or ten years. Assess how this problem will help or hinder your imagined future. How can you tackle this problem to ensure your future is bright, and the way you thought it would be? Visualizing a solution to your problem can also be helpful. Think about all the possible solutions and how you would achieve each. Decide which solution helps you the most and has the least amount of backlash with your colleagues. Ask for guidance from a mentor, family member, or other support group in your life. Overcoming problems can be very...

TL;DR in Russian:

Встречайте проблему лицом к лицу. Пересмотрите свое отношение к проблеме. Устанавливайте достижимые цели. Представьте свою профессиональную жизнь через 10 лет. Поговорите с кем-нибудь.


Don't be afraid to enlist the help of a trained psychiatrist or psychologist. The roots of passive aggressive behavior often run deep and need more than just independent behavior modification. Psychotherapy can help you work through some of the deeply rooted issues you may have. Studies show that those with Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder have a high rate of depression and suicidal thoughts. If you find yourself struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts as a result of these issues, seek help immediately! You can reach out to local mental health agencies in your area, or contact a suicide hotline for more information. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline is: 1-800-273-8255

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратитесь за помощью. Повышенный риск депрессии или суицидальных мыслей.


Don't be afraid to fulfill your dreams in life. You can get there by setting a series of manageable goals that will ultimately get you to where you want to go in life. Start by determining what your ultimate goal is, and then come up with five or ten steps to get you there.  It is important to set small goals that lead up to a larger goal. This will help make the big goal easier to achieve. If you don't have a goal in mind, ask yourself, "What have I always wanted to do?" For example, if you want to write a book, set smaller goals for yourself, such as writing 500 words a day or outlining a chapter every week. Once you've set your sights on a goal, you must make a plan. Break your goal down into smaller, step-by-step goals. Give each of these small goals deadlines. Think about what obstacles might stand in your way, and think about how you can overcome them.  For example, if you want to take a trip, you first need to save money. Create a plan for how you will earn extra money, and how much you will save each month until you reach your goal. If you want to lose weight, choose an approach to diet and exercise and give yourself concrete deadlines. Boldness is the opposite of hesitation. Once you have your plan in place, you have to take the leap. Seek out a community of people who are seeking the same goal, and use them to keep you motivated and accountable.  Keep yourself motivated by celebrating small victories. Instead of putting things off for the future, force yourself to take action in the moment. Now is the best time to start. Many people hold themselves back from doing things because they are afraid to fail. The truth is: everyone makes mistakes. Fearless people just aren't afraid of that inevitable downfall. Learn to embrace and expect failure, and use it as a learning experience.  For instance, if you are a writer, you could set the goal of receiving 20 rejection letters per year. If you are an athlete, compete in a tournament you know you probably won't win. If you never fail, you are never really...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ставьте выполнимые, но амбициозные цели. Составьте план. Начинайте действовать. Учитесь принимать ошибки.


Don't be afraid to look your partner directly in the eyes. Your eyes will usually portray how you are feeling, so this is a good way to let your partner know that you are wanting to kiss them. Eye contact can't directly give away what you want, but it can make it more obvious. Lean in closer to your partner and lock eyes with them. If you wear glasses, you may want to remove them when you make deep eye contact with your partner. Once you've made eye contact, you can let your eyes wander to further hint to your partner that you want to be kissed. Look them in the eyes and then let your eyes drift to your partner's lips. You don't have to keep your eyes on their lips. Look at their lips for a few moments and then return to eye contact. Smile at your partner while you maintain eye contact and at any point throughout your time with them. Being tense will show on your face, which could convey an unwanted message. You don't have to constantly smile, but it will help them feel like you are comfortable with them. The simplest way to be kissed is to let your partner know that you'd be okay with it. You don't have to demand a kiss. Simply let them know that it's something you're open to and would be happy to do.  You can simply say “I would be happy if you kissed me.” You could also say “I'd really like to kiss you.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Установите зрительный контакт Скользите взглядом по губам вашего партнера. Улыбайтесь своему партнеру. Скажите партнеру, что не против, чтобы он вас поцеловал.


Don't be the girl who forgets all about her friends every time she gets in a relationship. If it doesn't work out with this guy, you're going to need your friends to be there for you when it's over. But even more than that, guys are interested in girls who have their own lives apart from them. Let him see that you have friends and that other people enjoy spending time with you. This will make him want to spend more time with you too. There's nothing more attractive to a guy than a girl who doesn't need him. Don't be available to him every second of every day. Make plans with other people and live your life. This kind of behavior is what attracted him to you in the first place.  Call your girlfriends and go to the movies. Volunteer at your church. Do whatever you want to do with your time so that he'll feel special when you're able to spend time with him. There's nothing more unappealing to a guy than knowing a girl is sitting at home waiting for him to call. It can seem a little desperate. If you want to stay home, that's fine. But don't tell him you are staying home in case he calls.  If he said he might call you tonight, don't wait around to find out. That's what cell phones are for. He can reach you while you're out doing something. And then if he doesn't call, you didn't waste a whole night waiting around on him. Then you won't be mad and he won't feel the pressure you would have otherwise put on him. Assertiveness can be a very attractive quality. It involves setting healthy boundaries and expectations. This means that you should know what you want and you should take steps to go after it. Don't let other people (your man included) dictate the direction of your life. It's okay to be agreeable, but make sure that you have your own opinions so that people don't walk all over you.

TL;DR in Russian:

У вас должны быть свои друзья. Стройте планы без парня. Не ждите его звонка. Умейте стоять на своем.


Don't be too obvious with the question or your parents might suspect something and drop in to check on you! Unless you are sure of when your parents might return, it's worth calling them to find out before starting out on this adventure.  Ask general questions like "Will you be home for dinner?" or "What time should I have my chores done before you get back?", etc. Try slipping the question into idle conversation.  You could say something like, "Oh, we can go out for ice cream if you'll be back before the shop closes up!" Or maybe tell them to call you when they start heading home.   You never know when an unexpected arrival could catch you off guard and create an... awkward situation. Even definite schedules change and in this case, it's better to be safe than sorry!

TL;DR in Russian:

Выясните, когда ваши родители должны вернуться домой. Если ваши родители уже ушли, позвоните им. Дождитесь, пока родители скроются из виду, прежде чем раздеваться. Разденьтесь после того, как убедитесь в том, что вас нельзя заметить с улицы. Убедитесь, что у вас приготовлена одежда для экстренного одевания. Оденьтесь до предполагаемого возвращения родителей.


Don't blast it, or try to drown out the sound of the fireworks. Play the music at a normal volume level. Just enough so you can easily hear the music. Piano playing music is great. If you typically keep a television on in your home, consider putting it on your regular programming at a slightly increased volume from what you normally use. This way the sound of the television will help drown out a bit of the fireworks while also helping her feel that everything is normal. There are several herbs that are tasty and appealing to cats and that have stress-reducing properties. Try one or more of these:  Catnip is a classic cat treat, which helps your cat feel less stressed by giving a slight feeling of drunkenness and calmness. Because it first works by stimulating the cat and then causes feelings of calm, you should give it to her fifteen minutes before the fireworks begin. Keep a plant of live catnip in your home for special occasions, or purchase a toy that is infused with cat nip. Try valerian root, which has the same effect as catnip but usually results in a cat falling asleep. That should definitely calm her down!  Experiment with dried flowers. There are a few types that are soothing and safe for cats: chamomile, hops, and a combination sold under the name Bach Rescue Remedy. You can find all of these online or in some health food stores. Use a calm, relaxed voice, say things along the lines of "It's okay honey" or "Calm down, it's ok." Stroke her gently. It really doesn't matter what you say. If your cat is used to your voice and loves you, she will likely be comforted by anything you say. In fact, you could read the newspaper aloud or read your favorite novel and she wouldn't mind. It would help to reassure her that you are with her and not leaving her.

TL;DR in Russian:

Включите успокаивающую музыку. Используйте растительные препараты. Успокойте кошку разговором.


Don't just nod your head and say "uh uh" but practice active listening. When practicing active listening you need to ask questions and paraphrase back important points to demonstrate your involvement and interest. You are never done learning about your partner, nor they about you, and learning starts with good listening. A good, deep relationship requires lifelong maintenance and effort, but the effort is worth it for the support, security and love from someone who really knows you. Listen when your partner talks. Respect your partner's opinion by allowing them to express it in full, even if you disagree. Take the time to really understand your partner's views by asking questions and attempting to paraphrase what they are saying to you. Do not simply try to fix the symptoms, but when your partner or you is unhappy take the time to explore and understand what is the source of the problem and fix that. For example if your wife is mad that you spend too much time with the guys and doesn't want you to go out, you could treat the symptom and just stop ever hanging out with the boys, but this is not a healthy long-term fix. Instead you should explore the numerous reasons why she doesn't like you spending time with the guys. Ask questions and listen to her without judging to uncover her motivations. You may find that:  A) She is jealous of other women at the bars you go to with the boys. Solution: Change the venue, or invite her to "drop by" and see that nothing unseemly is going on. B) She thinks you do not like to spend time with her and do not like her. Solution: Schedule regularly quality time with her, and verbally ensure her that you enjoy her company too. C) She thinks that your hanging out with the boys unfairly burdens her. This is especially true if you have kids, as your hanging out with the boys means that she is on solo baby duty. Solution: Offer to give her a day out with the girls too. And make sure you are not falling behind on household chores when you do go out.

TL;DR in Russian:

Слушайте. Уважайте друг друга. Доберитесь до сути проблемы.


Don't lecture your Labrador. Your commands need to be simple and consistent. "No", "Drop", "Wait" are strong, simple, and direct. "Stop doing that, oh for goodness sake" or "Oi, stop eating my shoe" will not work as they are too complicated. Remember that dogs don't process language like humans do. In general, shouting at any dog is ineffective. This is especially true for Labradors who are an excitable breed by nature. Use a firm voice when instructing your dog; don't yell or lose control. Dogs are very intuitive and will be able to sense your frustration and may react in kind. Firm and assertive commands will communicate to the Labrador what you want him to do. Admonishing a Labrador too long after the incident is ineffective. If you need to admonish or correct your dog, it needs to be done during or within a few seconds of the act. Dogs will have forgotten the event within seconds of its occurrence, so it's key to address the behavior immediately in order to facilitate the retraining process. If you live in a household of more than one, your family also needs training. Explain to your family as well as visitors to your home about what your dog is and is not allowed to do. For example, if you do not allow anyone to feed your Labrador at the dinner table, then you need to let others know about that rule. If other family members or visitors don't know about this rule, they may feed your dog, which is confusing for him and will disrupt the training you have done.

TL;DR in Russian:

Давайте команды четко и ясно. Будьте тверды и сохраняйте контроль. Будьте своевременны с подачей команд и реакцией на действия собаки. Обучите членов семьи.


Don't let anyone see the number your write down. You'll reveal this secret number at the end of the trick, to your audience's delight. Any 4-digit number will work for this trick. Hand the calculator to the volunteer and have them enter the number. For instance, if your volunteer picks the number “7893,” they would type  "78937893" into the calculator. Have your volunteer verify this by dividing the 8-digit number in the calculator by 137. Any number made by repeating a 4-digit number twice will be evenly divisible by 137. For example, 78,937,893 divided by 137 is 576,189. Your volunteer will get an answer of 73 every time if you've followed the directions right. It doesn’t matter which number they started with. For instance, after dividing 78,937,893 by 137 to get 576,189, the volunteer would divide 576,189 by 7,893. Have your friend or volunteer open the folded piece of paper. Be prepared for your audience to go wild when your prediction of 73 is revealed! Don't reveal the math behind the trick! A good magician knows how to keep their secrets.

TL;DR in Russian:

Напишите число «73» на листе бумаги, сложите его и отдайте добровольцу. Попросите добровольца загадать 4-значное число и дважды ввести его в калькулятор. Заявите, что число нацело делится на 137. Попросите добровольца разделить полученный результат на исходное 4-значное число. Попросите добровольца огласить «секретное» число.


Don't overfill or the bag will burst open when being prodded or when frozen. Then seal tightly.  Check that it is free of holes first! Do one bag for each shoe. Be careful not to squeeze too hard, lest the bag burst open and soak the shoe. Push the bag into the nooks and crannies of the shoe as far as possible. The area needs to be large enough to accommodate your shoes. Make sure that nothing else in the freezer will lean against the shoes. Anything touching the shoes could leave a stain or cause freezer burn marks if you have to pull them apart later. Let freeze overnight. As the water freezes, the bag will expand into the shoes and will provide a gentle shoe stretch. Allow to thaw for half an hour, then remove the bags. If you're happy with them now, they're good to go. If not, repeat the freezing process once more. This conditioning will restore any depleted moisture caused by the freezing process.

TL;DR in Russian:

Наполните зип-пакеты водой наполовину (или на треть). Положите пакет с водой внутрь каждого ботинка. Очистите в морозилке место для обуви. Поместите обувь в морозилку. На следующее утро вытащите обувь из морозилки. Наденьте обувь. Нанесите кондиционер для кожаной обуви или седельное мыло.


Don't procrastinate! Waiting until the end of the quarter to study or, even worse, cramming the night before a test dooms you to poor grades. Your brain won't have enough time to really understand the material and log it away. Cramming leads you to remember things incorrectly or not at all. Basically, you should set aside time every night to go over material from the previous week and make sure you remember and understand everything.  This means that when you study for a test, all you have to do is a quick refresher. Try to return to old material as much as possible, to help solidify the ideas in your mind. Having good notes allows you to quickly go over the material and refresh your memory. If you didn't understand it the first time, your notes will give you a road map to finding the information that you need. Organize your notes by topic and go over them one topic at a time. Sometimes topics that are related are covered at very different points in the year. You might have to pair information you learned in September with information you learned in January, to get a full picture of it. . Sometimes your teacher may give you a study guide, but if not, you should make your own. A study guide breaks up the information that might be covered on the test and then lists out the most important facts and ideas. These are usually used for preparing for tests but they can also be used for keeping up with regular subjects as well. Make one for yourself each time you finish a unit and you will be prepared for anything your teacher could throw your way. Make study cards. Study cards are like little study guides, with a single concept or set of facts to one note card. You can then study these like flash cards, giving yourself 2-3 per day, covering material from previous weeks so that it stays fresh in your mind. Have you ever seen a mind map? This is where someone writes down an idea on a card and places it on a wall, then connects other cards with similar ideas to the first. You can do this for studying too! Make charts,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начинайте учиться с первых дней занятий. Просматривайте конспекты, чтобы освежить в памяти пройденный материал. Сделайте учебное пособие. Создайте обучающую стену. Используйте технику запоминания информации. Делайте перерывы, чтобы позволить отдохнуть вашему мозгу. Убедитесь, что у вас есть хорошие условия для учебы.


Don't push the hook all the way through - the hook should be inside the worm's body but not coming the other side. This method of baiting is a little more difficult and increases the chance that a fish will take your worm without biting the hook, but it's much more attractive to fish. You'll go through more worms this way, but you'll also get more bites. Work the worm around the hook's curve like you'd push a sock up your leg. This step is difficult - be careful not to split the worm in half by pulling the hook's barb through the worm's body again. Pierce the point of the hook through the worm so that it's sticking out of its side. Allow the rest of the worm's body to dangle limply below the hook. Because so much of the worm is allowed to hang free of the hook, the worm's wiggling will be much more visible to fish in the water than in the standard method. It's also easier for fish to take the "free" portion of the worm without biting the hook. This method is high-risk, high reward. If you're using this method, make sure you have plenty of worms handy - you'll go through them quickly. If you can't seem to get the hang of it and keep splitting your worms in half, you can still use the torn segments of worm as bait by simply by spearing them on the hook just under the barb.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проколите червя крючком у его головы. Медленно и осторожно проденьте крючок через тело червяка по длине. Когда червяк нанизан по всей длине крючка, остановитесь. Забрасывайте!


Don't raise your voice, call your spouse names, or get sarcastic. Acting nasty will put a stop to any productive discussion you might have had. If you feel your temper rising, call a time-out and regain your composure before continuing the conversation. If you're getting too angry to talk rationally, go somewhere by yourself and take a few deep breaths, or blow off steam by taking a walk around the block. Argue about one thing at a time. Don't drag unrelated issues or old grudges into the conversation. Leave the past where it belongs – behind you. If you've already forgiven your spouse for something, don't dredge it up again as ammunition for your current argument. For instance, if you're arguing about how often to mow the lawn, don't bring up an old disagreement about where your kids should go to school. Stay civil and polite. Some things, like name-calling or picking at your spouse's insecurities, should remain off-limits during an argument. If you're angry enough that you want to say something to hurt your spouse, step away and cool down by yourself.  For example, if your husband makes a rash decision, resist the urge to call him "stupid" or "an idiot." Even if you feel it's true in the moment, it will only make communication and conflict resolution even harder. Ask your spouse to explain their perspective so that you can understand why they made the decision. Then you can calmly discuss the issue including input from both of you. Give your spouse the benefit of the doubt. Don't put words in their mouth or look for reasons to assume the worst. Make sure you understand what they're saying before you answer them.  For example, your spouse tells you they need some space and you assume they are trying to leave the marriage. Ask for clarification. "Space" could simple mean more time and room to think things over. If something is bothering you, address it. Don't spend time by yourself stewing over what may have been an innocent action or remark.

TL;DR in Russian:

Сохраняйте хладнокровие. Сосредоточьтесь на текущем вопросе. Не наносите удары ниже пояса. Не делайте поспешных выводов.


Don't rely on a "magic number" of classes you can miss and still do well. Each missed class represents missed content and missed discussion. Some professors weigh participation into your final grade calculation. Even if attendance isn't required, however, you will make a good impression on your professor and TA if you show up to class.  Only miss class if you are genuinely sick—too sick to get anything worthwhile out of the lecture. If you need some incentive, consider the cost of each class hour. The average yearly cost of tuition at a public university is $9,139. Given a 15-week semester with 4 classes each semester, you pay over $25 per class hour for the privilege of being taught. Not going to class is basically the same as setting twenty-five bucks on fire. Would you do that? . Your memory is never as good as you think it is. There will probably be plenty of things taking up space in your mind while at school. Taking good notes will keep you engaged in classroom activities (lectures and discussion) and give you a good basis when studying for exams. For classes that are organized around clear, logically ordered topics, such as history or biology, the Cornell method can help you prioritize the most important information. Ask questions of your instructors, give answers if they ask questions, and contribute to discussion sections. Taking an active part in the class will keep you involved with the material, and help you better understand what the instructor needs you to know. Sitting in front, or at least not in the back, will make it easier to pay attention and put you front and center for the professor to see. Success in college relies on you preparing outside of class, so spend time reviewing your notes and reading the textbook for each session. When you study, find a quiet space and cut off outside distractions. A good rule of thumb is to spend two hours studying for each hour you spend in class.  Study groups—working with other students in your class—can be helpful, but also go off-track easily. Make...

TL;DR in Russian:

Ходите на занятия. Пишите конспекты Участвуйте в ходе урока. Не жалейте времени на учебу. Не теряйте времени зря. Общайтесь со своим преподавателем. Будьте уверены в себе.


Don't seem too happy about the break up: you'll come off as mean-spirited. Just be kind, caring, and considerate. Some people don't handle rejection well. Some people yell, scream, or cry. But it doesn't mean you should react to their meltdown. Remember, rejection is tough. You've already got the status of being the dumper. If their tantrum escalates, get out of there! Don't wait around for the messy aftermath. Only try to ignore when the conversation is yelling and screaming, try to be and remain civil in all other situations. Be honest and sensitive and try to listen to their emotions and act upon them.

TL;DR in Russian:

Держите свои эмоции под контролем. Не реагируйте.


Don't stay there longer than you need to. You are going to need a bow with several arrows, and the best sword you can get. If you can enchant the sword and/or bow, that would be the best option. Store items like diamonds, emeralds, and ender pearls. Also, be sure to bring flint and steel in case you need to relight the portal, and a lot of cobblestone. A map may come in useful; it will not tell which direction you are facing, but it will show you where you are. It will be useful if you get lost. Snowballs are useful for fighting blazes; you can bring them in the form of snow blocks to save space, and use a shovel to convert them back to snowballs. Wood is another resource you won't find naturally in the Nether and it will be useful at sometime during your trip. A good amount of wood to gather would be from 15-20 blocks of raw wood. Ghast fireballs won't destroy cobblestone, so be sure to bring a lot of it to the nether. Fireballs won't destroy obsidian, but they could "unlight" the portal, leaving you stranded (unless you have flint and steel). If you don't have flint and steel, you can try the difficult task of leading a Ghast to your Nether Portal and trying to get it to relight it with its fireball.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ваше путешествие в Нижний мир должно быть как можно более коротким. Всегда, ВСЕГДА берите с собой меч. Перед тем как войти в Нижний мир, положите все ценные вещи в сундук. Возьмите с собой много еды. Защитите портал в Нижний мир булыжниками.


Don't think of your friend's boyfriend as someone who's trying to steal them away. Rather, think of him as a new addition to your circle of friends. He'll feel more comfortable around you if you welcome him into your group.  Get excited to learn more about someone who is important to your friend. Think about what qualities he has that are fun to be around. You may feel sometimes feel like a "third wheel" when you're out with the 2 of them. Realize that he might feel like an outsider being around 2 best friends. Instead of worrying about being left out, try to find ways to make him feel included in your friendship. If you care about your friend, you should be glad that they have a guy in their life who makes them happy. Just because they have a boyfriend whom they like doesn't mean that they like you any less. If he's a good guy, he'll respect you when he sees that you have your friend's best interests at heart.  Stop thinking about yourself and think about what's best for your friend. Understand that romance is a part of growing up and your friend needs to experience relationships in order to grow as a person. However, they still need their best friend. See their relationship as a chance for you to strengthen your friendship. If you're supportive of your friend through their relationship, the bond between the 2 of you could grow more powerful. Ask him if he has any single friends. You just may hit it off with one of them. This may be an opportunity for you to find your own significant other. Your friend's boyfriend will be excited to bring his buddy along to meet you.  If you like a particular one of his friends you can say something like, "Your friend is really cute. You should ask him to come along the next time we all hang out." You can go on fun double dates. Don't be pushy. Don't ask him about his friends too often. Friends are important, but you should still have your own life away from them. Rather than worrying that your friend won't be around as much, take some time to focus on doing some things that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Осознайте, что вы приобретаете друга. Радуйтесь за подругу. Сходите на свидание с одним из его друзей, если вам это интересно. Научитесь быть более независимой.


Don't try to 'heroically' rescue someone or venture indoors. Your best bet is to stay outside, where the risk of collapsing structures is diminished. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits, and alongside exterior walls. These are the main risks of being outdoors when an earthquake or one of its aftershocks is in progress. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires. Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake. Although it may seem counter-intuitive, waiting for help is probably your best bet, if you find yourself trapped under immovable debris.  Do not light a match or a lighter. Leaking gas or other flammable chemicals may accidentally light on fire. Do not move about or kick up dust. Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or piece of  clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust. A tsunami happens when an earthquake causes an extreme underwater disturbance, sending powerful waves towards shores and human habitation. If there's just been an earthquake and its epicenter is in the ocean, there's a good chance you'll have to be on the lookout for tsunamis.

TL;DR in Russian:

Оставайтесь на улице, пока не перестанет трясти. Держитесь подальше от зданий, уличных фонарей и линий электропередач. Если вы находитесь в автомобиле, остановитесь как можно быстрее и оставайтесь внутри. Если вы окажетесь в ловушке под обломками, сохраняйте спокойствие и примите меры предосторожности. Если вы находитесь рядом с большим водоемом, будьте готовы к возможному цунами.


Don't try to meet up with them or reach out to them right after the fight happens. Both of you will be upset, and this can make the situation worse. Instead, take the time you need to work through your feelings and give your friend some space to deal with theirs. Once you feel like you can talk to them without getting upset, try to start a conversation by messaging or calling them.  If your friend says they need more time, give them the time and space they need. It could take them longer to calm down, and pushing them will likely make them more upset. Try not to worry if your friend doesn't want to make up immediately. That doesn't mean your friendship is over! However, it might be best for you to spend some time with other people you care about. for your part in the fight. It’s hard to apologize, especially if you feel like you didn’t do anything wrong. However, acknowledging that you made mistakes will help repair your friendship. Tell your friend that you realize you aren’t perfect and know you could do better. If you know what you did wrong, be specific about what you would change.  You might say, “I’m really sorry for what I said yesterday. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, but I know I did. In the future, I’ll try to see things from your perspective.” Similarly, you could say, “I’m sorry for my part in our fight yesterday. I know I could’ve reacted better.” “I” statements keep the focus on how you’re feeling and what you’re doing, so they don’t put the other person on the defensive. This helps you explain what happened without assigning blame. As you talk to your friend, make sure you’re sticking to “I” statements. For example, you’d say, “I felt like you weren’t listening to me,” instead of, “You don’t listen to me.” Similarly, say, “I need to feel like I’m choosing what we do sometimes,” rather than, “You always pick what we do.” to your friend’s perspective on what happened. You and your friend experienced what happened through different perspectives, so you likely won’t agree on everything that...

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте себе время, чтобы успокоиться.  Принесите извинения Обсуждайте события от первого лица. Учитесь  слушать мнение друга о ситуации.  Простите Напомните другу о старых добрых временах вашей дружбы. Поделитесь своими ожиданиями от будущего.


Don't try to wing it on the spot. If you approach your coworker, whether he/she is interested or on the fence, giving vague or ambiguous plans will likely be a turn off. Keep it casual, but know what you have in mind before you ask your coworker out.  If you're not sure that your coworker is interested in you yet, asking him/her to something casual is more likely to succeed than asking him/her out to a formal dinner or movie date. Decide in advance what you'd like to do - for example, going out for coffee, or perhaps getting a drink together after work (if you're both old enough to drink). When you ask your coworker out, ask him/her out to whatever casual event you've planned. Instead of leading with something vague like "Do you want to go out with me?" you could instead say something like, "I'd really like to continue chatting over coffee or maybe a drink sometime, if you're free." If you're worried about coming across as too forward with your coworker, you can casually ask him or her about joining you at something you're already planning on doing. Just make sure you choose something appropriate to invite your coworker to, like seeing a concert or going to a street festival.  The advantage of asking someone out this way is that it often comes up naturally in conversation. If you make small talk with your coworker, he or she will probably ask you what your plans are for the weekend at some point. This is the perfect opportunity to describe your plans, then invite your coworker. You might say something like, "I'm planning on checking out that concert this Saturday. I have an extra ticket - would you be interested in going with me? Having a friendly competition just means seeing who can come up with the best first date idea. This method of asking a coworker out would work best if you and your coworker already have a good rapport and make friendly small talk on a regular basis. The goal is, once again, to keep it casual and not make your coworker uncomfortable.  This method will only work if you and your...

TL;DR in Russian:
