Article in English: If your dog is sick or feeling nauseous, he may stop grooming. This leads to a dull, unkempt coat and can signal to veterinarians that your dog has a medical condition. Check in with your veterinarian if you notice any one of the following symptoms in your dog:  Lack of appetite Excessive thirst Vomiting Diarrhea or soft stools Smelly Breath Smelly ears Lameness Difficulty Breathing Sore teeth can make it harder for your dog to eat. As a consequence, he may be messier and get food in his coat. To check for sore teeth, lift your dog's lip and take a look at the teeth and gums. His mouth should look like yours, with white teeth and pink gums. If the teeth are coated in tartar (a white buildup), the teeth are wobbly, or the gums are inflamed and bleeding, then your pet needs veterinary attention. You may also notice your dog's breath smells bad and he's a messy eater. If his teeth hurt, he will drop food out of his mouth when he chews. This can contribute to a dirty coat. Arthritis, or inflammation of the joints, can cause stiffness and pain. Your dog may be too stiff and sore to easily groom himself. If this is the case, you'll notice your dog walking stiffly and having difficulty using stairs or jumping in a vehicle. You'll need to talk to the veterinarian about medication to treat the pain of arthritis. In the meantime, help your dog by grooming him daily. Pay particular attention to areas that your dog can't comfortably reach. Pay attention for scaly, dandruff prone skin or an especially greasy coat. Your dog may have a condition called seborrhea, in which the skin's follicles create too much oil. This can trigger skin flaking or dandruff. Your vet will need to determine the cause of the greasy or scaly skin in order to recommend a treatment. Your vet may recommend supplementing your dog's diet with vitamin A or zinc to clear up any skin conditions.

Article in English: If your dog limps after a long hike or a hard run, but generally doesn’t show signs of pain on a day-to-day basis, you may consider giving your dog aspirin, rather than prescription medication, on the days when he is in pain. Aspirin helps to relieve pain and inflammation. You should not give your dog aspirin every day, only on relatively rare occasions.  Give an otherwise healthy, hydrated dog 10mg per every kilogram of weight, twice a day, with or after food. For example, a typical dose for a 30kg Labrador would be one 300 mg tablet twice a day with food. Always give aspirin with or after food because taking aspirin with an empty stomach on a regular basis can lead to gastrointestinal problems like ulcers. Never give aspirin to a dog who is taking steroid medication or other NSAID medications. This over-the-counter medication gives mild to moderate pain relief. It is a part of the NSAID (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs) family and will also keep your dog’s joints from becoming inflamed. You can give your dog:  10 mg per kg of weight, by mouth, twice a day, with or after food. For example, most acetaminophen comes in 500 mg tablets, so a 30 kg Labrador could take three-fifths of a tablet twice a day, with food. The side effects are similar to aspirin. Always make sure that your dog has eaten and is hydrated before giving him this medication, because acetaminophen can cause liver damage and ulcers. Never go over the recommended dose. As stated above, NSAIDs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If your dog is in moderate to severe pain and needs relief every day, you should go to a veterinarian to get a prescription for strong NSAIDs or opioids (see Step 4) because these medications are safe for long term use. Prescription NSAIDs fight pain and inflammation but have less negative effects on the stomach, liver and kidneys than over-the-counter NSAIDs do.  The most commonly prescribed NSAIDs are meloxicam (Metacam), carprofen (Rimadyl), and robenacoxib (Onsior). The maintenance dose of metacam is...

Article in English: If your dog misbehaves, give them a cue or sign that they've made the wrong decision. You might say, "think again," or a similar phrase in a cheery, but corrective tone of voice. The tone should suggest, "Are you sure you want to do that?" Your dog will recognize your tone as much as the words. Remember that your dog is not maliciously trying to disobey you. When your dog does something you don't want them to do, you need to let them know not to repeat this behavior in the future. If the dog continues to do the wrong thing, turn your back or leave the room so that your withdraw attention. Dogs are sociable animals and want to be at the center of things. Being left out or ignored makes them reconsider their actions. If you catch bad behavior early, you can stop it before it's ingrained. For example, if you're teaching your dog a command and they refuse, say, "think again," and turn your back. Your dog should realize that they've done the wrong thing. Turn back around and repeat the initial command. If they still don't cooperate, say, "think again," and turn your back. Repeat this until they understand the correct behavior. Once you know how you should react to a disobedient dog, understand what reactions reinforce bad behavior. Sometimes, your dog might be acting badly just to get your attention. By acknowledging your dog or shouting at them, you're accidentally rewarding the behavior with attention. This will make them more likely to repeat the behavior in the future. Remember that even scolding and shouting are rewards to a dog. For example, if the doorbell rings, it may catch your dog off guard making them bark with surprise. If you ignore the bark, they get no reward and won't bark the next time they hear the bell. But, if they bark and you shout at them to be quiet, you have accidentally rewarded the barking with attention. Now, they'll be more likely to bark the next time they hear the bell. Verbal or physical punishment is not an effective way to prevent bad behavior. Instead, your dog will simply learn...

Article in English: If your door was installed in its jamb snugly, you may need to purchase an especially thin sweep. The best way to ensure you buy the right sweep for your door is to measure the gaps with a tape measure. If you have a sweep already in place that isn't doing the job, you may need to remove this first. In most cases, sweeps can be popped free with a prybar. Bristle sweeps usually fit easily underneath most doors. Certain bristle sweeps even have small wheels, which are ideal for uneven floors. Screw bristle sweeps into place along the bottom of your door with a screwdriver. Depending on your door, it may be easiest to remove the door by taking the pins out of the hinges before trying to attach a bristle sweep. Integral sweeps generally add a bit to the height of your door. Because of this, unless there is a large gap along the bottom, you'll need to adjust the height of the door or remove some wood from its bottom. Screw in the integral sweep to the bottom edge of the door, and under door drafts should diminish, if not totally disappear.  If you end up shaving wood off the bottom of your door to make room for an integral sweep, make sure you seal it to prevent it from weathering or rotting unevenly.  Integral sweeps are also useful if you want the sweep to be less noticeable or if you want it to appear like the sweep is a natural part of the door.

Article in English: If your ears have only recently been pierced, you should not remove your earrings for any reason. Doing so before the aforementioned six-week period is over risks bruising, bleeding, piercing closure, and an increased risk of infection.   This point cannot be emphasized enough! If you believe you will be unable to keep your earrings in for this long, consider waiting to get your ears pierced until the circumstances of your life allow it. Clip-on earrings are one temporary possibility available to you which require no such time commitment, and magnetic earrings are even available to try on cartilage piercings. Cartilage piercings, however, often require a much longer time to properly heal, taking anywhere from three to twelve months. If you elect to have your ear pierced with the smallest post available, you can remove the earring’s back, push the post as far forward as possible (while keeping it in your ear) and snip the ball off of the post with wire cutters. After pushing the post back into its normal position and replacing the earring’s back, the post may resemble little more than a tiny mole It is recommended that you enlist the help of a parent, and take extreme caution when using wire cutters near your ear. The notable word here is “cover.” This will not make any secret of your ears being pierced, but it will obscure the actual jewelry. Try this if secrecy is less of an issue than coverage.  Useful for playing sports or engaging in any athletic activity. Double-check that the leagues you’re a part of will actually allow this method before getting your ears pierced, though. Various combinations of sports tape and bandages can be used to achieve the same purpose. . Longer hair (anything past the piercing site on your ear, for our purposes here) is extremely advantageous for hiding earrings. Consider growing your hair longer before getting your ears pierced, if you believe you will have need to hide the earrings.  Give yourself at least a few inches past the piercing height for consistent coverage as you...

Article in English: If your ex-girlfriend sees you all the time, it will be hard for her to get over you.  Alter your daily routine to minimize your risk of seeing her.  If you know, she goes to a particular grocery store, go to a different one.  Try out a new bar over the weekend if you think she might be visiting the one you usually go to. Watch out if she randomly shows up at the new places you’ve decided to go.  She could be stalking you. If you have mutual friends with your ex, let them know that you’re trying to keep your distance from her.  Don’t say anything negative about her, just make sure your friends understand that you shouldn’t be around her.  You don’t want them to invite both of you to the same events.  Say “Things with my ex-girlfriend are a bit strained at the moment.  I think it’s best that we not be around each other.  Please don’t ask us to hang out at the same time.”  If they don’t respect your request, it might be wise to find new friends.  Never ask your friends to choose sides.  You’ll only escalate the situation and invite them into your drama. Never say anything derogatory about your ex to your mutual friends.  It will likely get back to her and give her ammo for the next time she attacks you. If your ex-girlfriend tries to recruit your mutual friends to spy on you, drop those friends immediately. Make your ex-girlfriend unable to contact you by phone or by social media.  If your ex-girlfriend tries to contact you from another number, block it too.  The method for blocking people varies from phone to phone and from social media site to social media site.  Be thorough.  Block your ex anywhere she might try to contact you.    To block a number on an iPhone: tap “Settings,” tap “Phone,” tap “Block,” tap “Add New” and then choose the information of the person you want to block from your contacts. To block someone on Facebook: go to “HELP & SETTINGS,” click on “Privacy Shortcuts,” click on “How do I stop someone from bothering me?” Type the name of your ex in the text box then click “Block.” If your...

Article in English: If your fast involves consuming teas or liquids at certain points during the day, make sure you do it. In most cases, you are using the cleansing juices as a replacement for your regular meals. Sticking to the schedule will keep your digestive system regular and on track, and help you stay disciplined with the program. Unless otherwise directed, a good rule of thumb is to have one glass of juice or water (depending on your cleanse) during each regular meal time. That means a glass when you wake up (for breakfast), one in midday (for lunch), and one in the evening (for dinner). You can supplement these with smaller glasses between meals to help keep you hydrated. The fasting is only one part of cleansing your body of toxins. Use this opportunity to take up other relaxation activities to help de-stress and revitalize your body. Meditation and yoga are both good ways to help clear your mind.    Meditate. Find a quiet place and get into a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes to avoid looking at the world, and focus on something other than your stress. It can be controlling your breathing, thinking about slowly moving each of your body’s muscles, or even just focusing on a distant object to the exclusion of all others. If it helps, you can also repeat a mantra to help clear your mind.   Try yoga. Make sure you have a clear, quiet space where you can move around without obstruction or interruption. Research several stretches to do on your own, and try them. If you aren’t comfortable working by yourself, you can always start attending a class. If you are a beginner, start lightly, and slowly increase the frequency and intensity of your exercise. Exercise lightly. Fasting means that you won’t be taking in calories and nutrients found in food. If you do need to exercise and move around, stick to low-intensity workouts. Things like walking, or a brief swim, can give you a workout without pushing your body too hard. Avoid things like weight training or long runs. Your metabolism will be lower as you consume...

Article in English: If your foot pain is chronic or particularly severe, then seeing a podiatrist is a good idea. Podiatrists are foot specialists who can treat a variety of conditions, sometimes with simple surgical techniques, but more often with conservative approaches such as custom orthotics, orthopedic shoes, braces or taping.  A podiatrist can tell you if you're suffering from common foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis, athlete's foot (fungal infection), flat feet, turf toe, bunions, or gout — which all cause foot pain to varying degrees. A podiatrist is a great source of information on what types of shoes are best for your feet and gait (the way that you walk). Medical specialists may be needed to rule out the most serious causes of chronic foot problems, such as diabetes, infection, venous insufficiency, bone fracture, rheumatoid arthritis or cancer. These conditions are obviously not common causes of tired and tender feet, but if home care and conservative therapies are not effective for soothing your feet, then more serious problems need to be considered.  X-rays, bone scans, MRI, and CT scans are modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your upper back pain. Your doctor may also send you for a blood test to rule out diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or a chronic infection. An injection of steroid medication near or into the inflamed tendons or muscles of your foot can quickly reduce inflammation and pain, but this approach is usually reserved for athletes who need quick and temporary relief that enables them to keep performing. The most common preparations used are prednisolone, dexamethasone, and triamcinolone.  Potential complications of corticosteroid injections include infection, bleeding, tendon weakening, local muscle atrophy, and nerve irritation/damage. If corticosteroid injections fail to provide adequate resolution, then surgery should be considered as a last resort, depending on the diagnosis of your foot condition.

Article in English: If your friend is crushing on you, their body language will probably be more open, and they will usually stand with their body turned towards yours, even in a group.  If your friend has a relaxed posture, with their torso facing towards you, it’s a sign that they feel at ease. It may mean they like you or it may just mean they are comfortable being around you. Watch for signs that your friend's posture has changed around you. For instance, if they normally act relaxed, but now they seem stiff, it may be a sign that they are nervous because they have a crush on you. If your friend usually has their arms crossed or they stand with their body turned away from you any time you're around, they may not be crushing on you. However, if they only act closed off every once in awhile, it might mean they are talking to someone else or are busy. Eye contact is one of the most universal methods of flirting. If you’re hanging out with your friend and you notice they’re looking into your eyes, it may be a sign that they’re interested in you.  Some eye contact is natural during a conversation, so pay attention to whether your friend makes more eye contact with you than with other people. If your friend smiles at you before they break eye contact, it may be a sign that they're interested. If you want to show your friend that you like them, too, smile back!  If you notice that your friend is suddenly making more eye contact than usual, or out of the blue they won't meet your gaze, it may be a sign that they've started to see you as a romantic interest. If a person is crushing on you, they’ll often play with their hair, touch their lips, or rest their fingertips on their collarbone. This is usually a subconscious gesture that indicates attraction. If your friend usually shows up in sweatpants and an old t-shirt every time you hang out, but suddenly starts dressing like they’re ready for a night out when you’re around, it might be a sign that they want to look better in order to impress you. When a person has a crush, they often...

Article in English: If your girlfriend is completely ignoring you, you might not be able to get in touch with her via phone or in person. If you know she is still getting your texts, you might try sending her a message that expresses your concern and asks her to meet up and talk. Example: “You haven't been responding to my texts lately. When that happens, I feel hurt and wonder if you're still happy in our relationship. Can we meet up and talk?” If you know her schedule, you might even suggest a day and time when she is usually free, which could make it easier to get her to commit to meeting up. Skip this step if your girlfriend responds to you via text or phone. If you can't get in touch with her via text or phone, but you know that she is still okay (i.e. hanging out with friends, posting to social media), you might try sending her a message that lays out your feelings and concerns via her Facebook inbox or an email address.  If you choose to send an email/private message, be sensitive to your tone. Write a draft, then re-read it after you've had a good night's sleep. Make sure that it isn't mean or disrespectful. Be specific. Provide concrete examples of what she does and how you feel. Be sure to word it in a way that isn't accusatory: “When we were at that party on Saturday, you spent the whole night talking to other people. We didn't get a chance to talk at all, and you left without saying goodbye, even though we were sitting across from each other in the same room. When you did that, I felt hurt. I wasn't sure if I had done something wrong. I am worried about you, and I am worried about us. I would like to get together in person and talk this through. Or, if you're uncomfortable with that, I am also open to communicating via email for now.”  Before sending your email, try to put yourself in her shoes as you give it a final read. Think about how it might sound to her, and how she might react, and edit it to ensure that you are sharing your thoughts and feelings in the most effective way possible. If she understands your...

Article in English: If your grandmother or neighbor doesn’t know Spotify from a spotted owl, but finally wants to join that Facebook thing or pay bills with the computer, they are probably willing to pay a little for your expertise. There’s no reason to price-gouge Granny, of course, but most people, even family members, are probably happy to pay a little for help in setting up a new computer or wi-fi network. Most computer novices would also probably prefer to pay a little for help from someone they know and can deal with in person, rather than rely on phone calls or online chats and tutorials.  Don’t get in over your head, however.  If you don’t know how to help with a problem, say so and advise that the person get in touch with customer service or tech support. It can be frustrating to attempt to tutor someone who knows very little about a product or skill that seems second nature to you.  Be patient, and think about all the things your favorite uncle has taught you before scoffing at his lack of a clue about how to fix his router or sell his baseball cards. Sometimes it isn’t even a question of knowledge, but of time.  If you have it, and others don’t, you may be able to make some money doing some computer “grunt-work” for them.  For example:  Digitize boxes of old photos or scan documents for a relative or neighbor. Edit and upload or order prints for someone who has a camera card full of photos and no idea how (or time) to do anything with them. Convert home movies to DVD, or even edit scattered videos and photos (such as from a wedding) into a movie everyone will appreciate. Design and/or print photos, logos, designs, banners, invitations, flyers, and so on for others. Maybe your friend’s Mom is starting a small business and wants a web presence, or a neighbor wants to know how to utilize various social media platforms so he can keep in touch with his grown children.  Once again, work according to your skill level.  Don’t promise a fully-functional, professional website if you don’t know how to make one. If, however, you...

Article in English: If your hair is resistant or if it has been previously colored, you’ll need to bleach it before dyeing it in order to get the shade of red that you want. Mix bleach and 10 or 20 volume developer in a bowl with an applicator brush until it's a yogurt-like consistency. Put on some plastic gloves and a cape to prevent your skin from burning or your clothes from being ruined. Part your hair with the pointed end of the applicator brush and paint the bleach onto your hair from root to tip. Continue making new parts and coating your hair until it’s completely covered in bleach. Let the bleach process until your hair color is the level of lightness you desire. Then wash it out with shampoo and moisturize your hair with conditioner.  If you’re wanting your hair to be a light and/or bright shade of red, you may need to wait a few weeks and repeat the bleaching process to bring it up to a true blonde. However, bleaching a second time may cause breakage. Don’t bleach your hair if it is virgin. Products like L'Oreal Excellence HiColor Reds for Dark Hair Only in H8 may be able to give you red hair without bleaching the black first.  Bleaching your hair too much can cause extreme damage and breakage, so limit how long you keep it on your hair and how often you apply it. You don't want snarls, so brush your hair thoroughly. Then, use plastic clips to pull the hair into four equally-sized sections. At this point, you can also apply Vaseline at your hairline so you don't end up dyeing your skin orange. Add your tube of dye and 10 volume developer to the mixing bowl. Use a measuring cup to measure them out according to the instructions on the bottle or package and then mix them together in the bowl with the applicator brush until the dye is smooth. The mixture should be the consistency of paste; not too watery. Unclip one section of hair. Use an applicator brush to start applying the color an inch or two (2.5-5 cm) away from your roots. Completely saturate the hair all the way down to ends of the strands. Repeat this process...

Article in English: If your hands are busy, then picking your nose is more difficult. You are less likely to automatically pick your nose if you have something else to do with your hands. Write things down, doodle on a piece of paper, or just keep something to fidget with to keep your hands busy. Wearing gloves makes it difficult to pick your nose. Before picking, you would have to take the gloves off, and this provides a barrier that stops you from unconsciously doing it. You can even wear stylish gloves that match a coat or outfit to keep your nose picking habit under the radar. Nose picking is often done in response to anxiety or some other emotion. These emotions can be triggered by your environment. Pay attention to when and where you have an urge to pick your nose. If you notice any patterns, try to avoid those triggers. For example, you might pick your nose when you are impatiently standing in a long line. If this is the case, try to avoid the lines or bring something else to do with your hands. When you can resist the urge to pick your nose, reward yourself. Set up a reward system that gives you rewards for going an entire day, week, or longer without picking your nose. When you succeed, treat yourself to the reward. Changing any behavior takes time and effort. You are likely to make mistakes along the way. Forgive yourself and move forward. With time, you will be able to stop picking your nose.

Article in English: If your hernia is near the groin, determine whether it's located at the inner or outer part of your groin. If it looks like the hernia is at the inner groin (an inguinal hernia), part of the intestines or bladder is forcing through the abdominal wall (or inguinal canal). If it looks like the hernia is at the outer groin, part of the intestines is forcing out into the femoral canal (a femoral hernia). Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia and they usually occur in older men. Femoral hernias are more common in pregnant or obese women. If you have a femoral hernia, seek medical attention immediately as these are more commonly associated with femoral artery or femoral nerve injury since the canal is much smaller and tighter than other types of hernias. Umbilical hernias are a noticeable bulge at the belly button or navel. These happen when part of the small intestine pushes through the abdominal wall into the navel area. Umbilical hernias are more common in newborn babies which are usually surgically treated by pediatric surgeons. Umbilical hernias also happen in obese women or women who have had multiple pregnancies. Look for a bulge near your stomach and consider if you have acid reflux disease. These are signs of a hiatal hernia. The bulge is actually your stomach pushing through an opening in your diaphragm where your esophagus enters.  Other signs of hiatal hernia: heartburn, feeling of food stuck in your throat, feeling full quickly, and, rarely, chest pain, which can be confused with a heart attack. Hiatal hernias are more common in women, overweight people, and people over 50 years of age. You might get a hernia following abdominal surgery, especially if you've been inactive. With an incisional hernia, the intestine emerges through a weakened part of the abdomen where you once had surgery. Incisional hernias are more common in the elderly or obese. You can reduce your risk for hernias by being a healthy weight and staying in shape. Work with a personal trainer or coach who can teach you how...

Until that is confirmed, continue drinking the water you've stored in your home. Downed power lines and gas leaks are common after hurricanes. If you witness any damage or smell gas, call authorities right away so they can begin repairs. If you smell gas in your own home, call 911 and get out right away. Just because the storm is over doesn't mean it is safe to travel. There may be flooding, damaged trees, and electrical wires to worry about. It is best to stay indoors until the cleanup is complete. Only go out if you need supplies. If you've been evacuated, wait before returning to your home. Your area may have suffered extensive damage. Officials need to investigate for gas leaks, exposed electrical wires, and flooding. When they've investigated the area, they will give you the green light to go back home.

Article in English: If your host has one built in, stick with that—it will make it a lot simpler. If not, use a third-party FTP host like FileZilla. If you're using the built-in platform, you don't need to worry about this. You'll see two boxes on the left and two boxes on the right. Don't worry about the left or top right ones; all you need to focus on is the bottom right box. It will start the upload right away. If you're using the built-in platform, find and locate the "htdocs" (or default HTML) folder and press "Upload"; it will give you options from there. Don't use the shortcut!

Article in English: If your iDevice does not support Siri, you can still install apps that will give you approximately the same functionality. Dragon Go!, a product from a company called Nuance, is one of the more popular alternatives.  Siri is built off of Nuance technology, so Dragon Go! contains many of the same features as Siri and has similar voice recognition capabilities.  Dragon Go! can access many of your other apps, such as Netflix, Google, Yelp, and more. The Google Search app comes with voice command software that allows you to start Google searches. It does not interact with any of your other apps, but can be used extensively for web searching..

Article in English: If your iPod fell in the pool or into a full sink, don't try to turn it on. This could cause irreversible damage by shorting out all of the components. You will need to remove the moisture before trying to power it on again.  Don't simply wipe the phone dry and try to use it. The water can cause serious damage to the inside of the phone when it is wet. While the most effective way to remove the moisture is to put the iPod into a bag of silica gel packets, most people don't have these handy. Instead, put your iPod into a bag or bowl full of rice and make sure it is completely covered. The rice will draw the moisture out of the device over time.   This could cause your iPod to get a lot of dust inside, but it sure beats it being broken for good. Seal the bag or container while you let it sit. It will take a while for all of the moisture to get sucked out of the iPod. You want it to be bone dry when you try turning it back on, so give the rice plenty of time to absorb all of the water. Don't use a hair dryer to dry the iPod. The heat from the blower could cause more harm than good.

Summary in Russian:

Не включайте iPod. Положите iPod в рис. Подождите 24 часа прежде чем достать iPod.


Article in English: If your ingrown fingernail has become infected, or it has not gotten better after around five days, you may need to see your doctor. Your physician may treat the ingrown fingernail with a topical antibiotic that you spread on the skin.  If the infection is deep in the finger, your physician may prescribe an oral antibiotic. If the ingrown fingernail is caused by a fungus (this is often the case if you have chronic ingrown fingernails), your doctor can determine this and offer treatment options to you. Let your physician know if the pain around an ingrown fingernail is getting worse, if the redness and tenderness spreads, if you cannot bend the finger at any of the joints, or if you have a fever. These symptoms point to a more severe problem. For an ingrown fingernail that is infected but has not started producing pus, your physician may want to lift it. Lifting the nail helps separate the nail from the skin so it can grow over the skin instead of into it.  When the nail is lifted, your physician will place something between the nail and skin to keep it separate. Usually, your physician will put cotton, dental floss, or a splint under your nail. If your nail is badly infected or ingrown, or you feel uncomfortable lifting the nail yourself, you can get your doctor to lift it. If you have recurrent ingrown fingernails, your physician may recommend some form of surgical removal. Most commonly, a doctor will perform a partial nail avulsion. This is where the part of the nail that is ingrown is cut out.  If you have a partial nail avulsion, you will have to watch as the nail grows back. You will have to ensure that the nail does not grow back into the skin. In severe cases, the entire nail bed may be removed using chemicals or a laser treatment. This, however, is rarely necessary for fingernails and is more commonly used to treat ingrown toenails.

Article in English: If your kettle manufacturer states that you should not use vinegar to clean your kettle, you can use lemon instead. Make a solution with lemon and water. Squeeze a lemon into water and then cut up the lemon and place the slices in the water. Fill the kettle with this solution.  Boil the water and let it soak in the kettle for around an hour. Dump the water and rinse the kettle. Alternately, you can use a lime instead of a lemon. Another cleaning option is to make a solution of baking soda and water. Mix around a teaspoon of baking soda into water. Pour this into the electric kettle and bring to a boil.  Let the solution soak for around 20 minutes. Then, pour out the solution and rinse with cold water. This should remove the scaling inside the kettle. If you want to use a commercial cleaner, find a kettle cleaning product online or in your local home improvement store or supermarket. You should dilute the cleaning product with water according to the directions and boil the solution in the kettle.  Leave the solution in the kettle to let it soak. Rinse the kettle with cold water.

Article in English: If your lemon tree doesn't get enough water, the natural salts that it produces may accumulate in the soil. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.  If using hard tap water, you may need to drop the water's pH before giving it to your tree. Adding 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) white vinegar to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water will usually do the trick. If your tree’s leaves are curling, your tree needs more water. To imitate outdoor conditions, open a door or window near your plant in warm weather. If the air is too cold, set up a rotating fan near the lemon tree to help the air stay well-ventilated. your plant once every few months. Lemon trees grow well if they get plenty of nitrogen—you can find nitrogen-rich fertilizers at most plant stores. Feed your plant once every 3 weeks in spring or summer and once every 6 weeks in fall and winter.  An NPK fertilizer of 2-1-1 works well for citrus trees. Do not use fertilizers containing alfalfa meal or cottonseed meal. Fertilizers containing these meals can cause fungal diseases. Pruning too many leaves will reduce your yield, but occasional pruning can be helpful. Remove dead, broken, and diseased branches, and thin to control the height and spread of your tree as space allows. Lemon trees can be pruned year-round when grown indoors. Lemon trees naturally grow in humid climates. Placing a humidifier near the tree can keep the air from getting stale. Set the humidifier to at least 50% to give your plant enough moisture in the air.  Misting your lemon tree with water several times a week or when it rains can also restore the plant's humidity levels.  If you live in a humid location, you may be able to get enough humidity from opening a door or window. These trees do best in rooms with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21.1 degrees Celsius) by day and 55 degrees Fahrenheit (12.8 degrees Celsius) at night. While temperatures that dip below 55 degrees Fahrenheit (12.8 degrees Celsius) will not kill your tree, they will cause your tree...

Article in English: If your little one is struggling to maintain self-control, as most toddlers do from time to time, start by giving him/her a warning.  Make sure that the warning is clear and spoken in a language that he is able to understand. You might want to say, “Jason, if you hit your friend again then you will take a timeout.” If the inappropriate behavior continues, then guide your toddler to a timeout area. An ideal timeout area is a quiet place that is free from distractions such as television, toys, and other children  It might be helpful to have a predesignated timeout space in your home or other places that you visit frequently. This way you can avoid the added frustration of trying to figure out a good timeout spot. Be sure that you tell your child why he is being taken to timeout. And be sure to criticize the behavior and not the child. For example, you might say, “It is not okay to hit Sam” rather than saying “You are a bad boy for hitting Sam.” Most experts agree that the most appropriate timeframe for time out is one minute per year of age.  So, your three-year-old would be in timeout for three minutes, your four-year-old would be in timeout for four minutes, etc.  Your child may resist staying in timeout and this is completely developmentally appropriate for a preschooler. If he refuses to stay put, firmly but gently hold him/her down by his shoulders. You may also try placing him/her on your lap and securely holding him/her there while he remains in timeout. Some parents prefer to take a timeout away from their child instead of when the child is resisting. This could simply mean telling your child that you are taking a timeout from him/her and then staying in the same room to monitor him/her but not responding to him/her. Reintroduce your child back into a positive activity after the recommended time in timeout is complete. If he is still engaging in agitated or frustrated behavior, it may be helpful to give him additional time to cool down. Let him know that he is free to return to the other activities as...

Article in English: If your locker or desk looks like a natural disaster went unreported in your area, you can't exactly expect your GPA to seem any different. The more organized you are, the easier it will be to study, to get good grades, to improve your GPA, to focus, and to be on top of your game.  Buy a planner. Write down your homework every night, project deadlines, and anything else that's on your to-do list. Cross it off as you go, keeping an eye on what you need for tomorrow. This way your mind is allowed to not worry about what's happening next Tuesday, because you already have it written down. Invest in some folders and binders. Keep your syllabi at the ready for each subject for easy access later. You can also keep old homework and readings available, too, for when you need them for study reference come test time. Keep a pocket or bag for your studying tools, like highlighters, white out, pens, pencils, rulers, and scissors. The less time you spend searching around needlessly, the better. Let's face it: you are not superman (or superwoman). You cannot take every AP class ever offered, 4 language classes at a time, some college classes, and get all straight As. While you may feel the need to be uber-competitive, don't burn yourself out. Only take the classes you can handle. If that means 3 AP classes instead of 4, good. Your GPA will thank you for it. If every class of yours is difficult, you'll get exhausted. Don't begrudge yourself the ability to take a study hall or even gym. Everyone needs a bit of down time, and it'll let you concentrate on the classes you really need to concentrate on. classes if need be. Plenty of schools have "retake" options. If you get a grade you're not happy with and you have the room in your schedule (be sure to think long-term, here) to retake it, consider this as a second chance. That C, D, or F could get wiped from your record permanently. And it'll definitely be easier the second time around. Find out what any of your options are, not just retaking the class.

Article in English: If your lug nuts are stuck, you'll need to exert extra force to remove them. Before you do that, you want to make sure that your car isn't going anywhere. Make sure you're on a flat surface and that your parking brake is engaged before attempting to wrangle with tenacious stuck-on lug nuts. Factory lug wrenches usually have short handles that don't provide much leverage. The first and safest thing you should do is get the physics of leverage on your side. If the handle of the wrench you're using is longer, it'll be much easier to loosen the nut.  Increase your leverage by using a "breaker bar." These are typically longer and stronger than the lug wrenches that come with most cars. If the breaker bar alone is insufficient, find a length of pipe that you can fit over the handle of the wrench or breaker bar so that you are able to turn from farther away from the nut. You should be able to use your hands. When choosing a pipe, the closer to the size of the handle, the better.

Article in English: If your man was never an obsessive shaver or hair-cutter and now he’s always shaving his face, maintaining his hair, and checking himself out in the mirror, then he may be getting ready for another woman. You should also check to see if he’s starting to shower more often, especially if he does it right when he comes home. This may be because he wants to wash another lady’s scent off of him as soon as possible. If your man never cared much about his physique before, but he’s suddenly going to the gym every day, running, or lifting weights in the basement, this may mean that he’s trying to get his body in shape for another lady.  Of course, you should consider other factors: maybe he is having a mid-life crisis and wants to look good again, or maybe he just became motivated to care more about his body. You should also look out to see if he is suddenly obsessed with his diet. This could also indicate that he is paying a lot of attention to his body for another woman. This is a big red flag. If your man smells different suddenly, it may be because his body chemistry has changed from being with another woman. And if he just smells like perfume, girly lotion, or anything else feminine, then this definitely says that he’s been spending time with another woman. Your husband's body language can also say a lot about whether he is cheating on you. Even if he says the right things, his body could betray him. Here are some signs that something has changed for him:  Note the amount of eye contact he gives you. If you used to always look into your eyes when you spoke but now always looks away, he may be doing it out of guilt. Note a lack of affection. If he used to kiss you, hug you, put his arm around you, and let you know how much he cared through his touches but never touches you any more, then something may be up. See if he turns away from you when you are talking. If he crosses his arms, turns away from you, and does not face you with his body, then he may be retreating because he is uncomfortable. Notice if he shows...

Article in English: If your mom doesn’t like your girlfriend, hearing you become obsessed or single-minded will only support her reservations. Your girlfriend should be just one part of a healthy, colorful life. If your girlfriend becomes the center of your existence, you give your mom a strong argument against the relationship. Get your support group on board talking up your girlfriend and pointing out when your mom says something unfair or out of line. Seeing how people other than you trust and appreciate your girlfriend can slowly wear your mom’s reservations down.  Ask friends to casually mention some mom-friendly things about your girlfriend in conversation. For example, they could say, “Man, your girlfriend killed at that test today,” or, “Sorry we’re late, but your girlfriend just had to walk a bunch of carts back to the store before she’d get in the car.” Your siblings could ask you questions when your mother is around like, “Why are you so happy today?” or “Why did you put all your clothes away so fast?” Your answers give you a chance to brag about your girl. Don’t be too obvious, or your mother will get the idea that something is up. You might feel like you are caught in the middle between your parents and your girlfriend, and that’s because you are. However, taking sides by pulling away from your family or playing one against the other rarely works.  Remember that the goal is to have everyone get along. You need to stay on both sides. Avoid speaking negatively about one person when alone with the other. You want your mom and girlfriend to respect each other, not just tolerate one another. You get along with both your mom and your girlfriend so there must be a few hobbies, opinions, favorites, or personal similarities that you can use to ease your mom’s nerves.  Mention these things around your mother casually so it isn’t obvious what you’re doing. If your mom says something that your girlfriend would agree with, try saying something like, “That’s funny. My girlfriend thinks the same thing. I’m not so sure though.” You...

Article in English: If your mom sees her coming to watch you play football, helping you study, or gushing over your artwork, that will help your mom realize that your girl appreciates you for you (not just your boyfriend status).  You could say to your girlfriend, “Hey, my mom is still a little weird about us dating. Would it be okay if we make sure you come to the same games of mine that my mom does so she sees you there each time?” If your girlfriend has an innocent gift for you, why not plan to have her give it to you in front of your mom? Parents have invested much into your life, and they love you an awful lot. It is natural for them to want you to date someone who is willing to invest in you too. Of course, this goes both ways: let your parents see you taking an interest in your girlfriend’s larger life as well. Your girlfriend doesn’t have to pretend to like everything your mother does to win over her affection. If your girlfriend is friendly and respectful while still being her genuine self, your mom is more likely to warm up to her. Everyone can benefit from learning to be courteous while disagreeing with someone. Your mother’s hesitations will lose steam when your girlfriend acts like a respectful and integrated member of the family already.  For instance:  If your mom doesn't like you using your cell phone during dinner, remind your girlfriend not to text during those times. If your mom dislikes profanity, let your girlfriend know! If family members remove their shoes when they walk in the door, don’t shirk the rule for your girlfriend.

Article in English: If your mom uses an argument that she or an older sister didn’t start shaving until a certain age, point out that girls start growing body hair at very different times, can have darker or thicker hair that shows up more, or just don’t have the same circumstances with friends at school or other pressure to shave. Just because things are happening to you at an early age doesn’t mean they’re less valid.  You can tell your parents that puberty, when body hair starts growing, is happening at a younger and younger age on average, which explains why your mom or older sister might not have had to deal with it until later than you. Reference friends that started shaving at even younger ages than yours, pointing out that it just depends on each body and hair. Let your parents know if other girls are pressuring you to shave your legs or bullying you about the fact that you don’t. They may let you start for this reason, and they may also give you valuable advice about dealing with bullies or peer pressure. Tell your parents exactly what other girls are saying or what they’re doing to make you feel bad about not shaving. Be honest because your parents can help. Tell your parents that your leg hair causes you discomfort, either because you’re embarrassed to show it or because it makes you feel itchy or hot. Point out that you have to wear pants or tights even when it’s very hot out because of your embarrassment, and that this is very uncomfortable or even dangerous in high temperatures. Bring up the fact that you are about to go to summer camp, start lifeguard training, or participate in a sport for which you’ll be wearing shorts all the time. Let them know this is an ideal time to start shaving. Point out that shaving your leg hair will help you to focus on and enjoy your activities more. Let your parents know that you want to do this for YOU and not anyone else. Assure them that you don’t want to shave to impress boys. Even if your motivation is just to fit in with other girls, explain that having self-confidence and...

Article in English: If your mother agrees to let you shave, it’s obviously easy to accept her decision. However, if she says no, you should still accept it without yelling or whining. Let her explain the reasons why she doesn’t think you should start shaving, and try to understand. By responding in a mature manner, it may help you be able to convince your mother in the future.  It’s completely normal to feel frustrated, angry, or upset if your mother won’t allow you to shave. Instead of yelling at her, though, vent to your friends. If she says no, you might say, "I wish you would let me shave, but I understand how you feel. Thank you for considering the idea." She'll appreciate the fact that you're respectful and mature. Even if your mother says no, you may still be able to reach some common ground if you’re willing to compromise. Tell your mother that you’ll only shave below the knees so you’ll feel more comfortable in shorts, or ask if you can just try shaving once for a special occasion, such as a beach party. You might also ask if you can use a hair removal cream instead of shaving. If your mother does agree to a compromise, don’t push the issue and try to ask for more. Be grateful for whatever amount of shaving or hair removal that she’s allowing. If your mother says no and isn’t willing to compromise, it can be very frustrating -- but it doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. Now that you’ve broached the subject, your mom is probably going to continue thinking about it, even if she hasn’t allowed you to shave yet. After a little time, ask her again to see if she’s changed her mind. If you responded maturely when she said no before, she may be more receptive to the idea in the future. It can be difficult to wait, but give your mom at least a month or two before you ask about shaving again.

Article in English: If your nail spots do not go away with a home treatment, make an appointment to see your doctor. While usually not harmful, white spots on nails can sometimes indicate underlying problems like anemia or liver issues. Also, in the event you have nail fungus, you may need prescription medications. If your doctor diagnoses a fungal infection as the cause of your white spots, they may give you a prescription for an oral anti-fungal medication. Typically, these medications are taken for 6 to 12 weeks and should eventually eliminate symptoms of nail fungus induced spots. Make sure you discuss any existing health problems you have before taking an anti-fungal medication. Anti-fungal medications can cause rashes or can damage the liver. A doctor may also prescribe an anti-fungal cream or polish that you apply to the nails. You usually apply the cream to your nails for a set period of time. This can range for a few weeks to up to a year.

Article in English: If your native language is Latinate, this will be very easy. If it's not, start with the basic sounds of each letter. There are 26 and there's a song to help you remember. Unlike many Germanic and Romance languages, English letters don't necessarily correlate with one specific sound (this is why English is regarded as one of the hardest languages to learn). Know that the vowels (and certain consonants in certain environments) have two or three sounds, depending on the word. For example, "A" sounds different in father, path, and say. Your number one resource will be a real live person that you can ask your questions to. He or she will be able to provide you with material and tasks to improve your skills. They'll also demand that you speak -- a skill that is pretty hard to learn on your own.  Headway, Face2Face, and Cutting Edge are all popular and reputable lines of books. But if you have a teacher, they'll be able to point you to (or even give you) a book that may be more catered to your interests. If you're looking for simple business English or simply conversational English, you may be better off with a book of a narrower focus. The best teacher is someone who's actually a teacher. Just because someone can speak the language does not mean they'd be a good teacher. Try to find someone who has a bit of experience tutoring or supervising others, if not teaching. It is a skill and, to top it off, more weathered teachers will probably have more resources for you. The internet is jam packed with resources to fill your time, bettering your language skills. Any English website is good, but you may find you're happier with ones geared to your abilities. There are many simple English websites or websites for recommended easy reads.  Simple Wikipedia is a great source for information on anything put into language that's easy to understand. With this site, you can study the things that interest you while simultaneously learning English. Breaking News English and BBC Learning English are good sites for news stories,...

Article in English: If your natural hair color is brown or black and you’ve recently dyed it blonde, there’s likely a lot of orange in the strands. The lightest Wella toners won’t be able to cancel out the brassiness completely. Instead, opt for a richer beige shade to lift your color. These shades are also great if you want hair that’s light but not quite platinum.  If you want your hair blonder after using the medium shade, wait a few weeks, then tone again with a lighter toner, like T10, T18, T14, or T28. Now that the orange has been lifted out, your hair will be able to pick up the platinum shades more effectively. To see what these shades look like, view Wella’s shade chart at this link: http://media.wella.com/professional/m/_enus/products/color_charm/pdf/WCC-LA-R009-14_ProductKnowledge_Guide_3.pdf These lightest, whitest shades will get you to a platinum color if your hair is already a lemony blonde. If your hair is still brassy and orange, wait on using this light toner, because it won’t be strong enough to noticeably change the shade of your hair. Look at Wella’s shade chart to see what these tones look like in person. You can see the shade chart here: http://media.wella.com/professional/m/_enus/products/color_charm/pdf/WCC-LA-R009-14_ProductKnowledge_Guide_3.pdf Hair developer helps to open up the hair cuticle so that it can pick up the color more effectively. A 10 volume developer is the least powerful, and works best if your toner is dark blonde or even ash brown, or if you’re trying to get rid of only mild brassy tones. A stronger 20 volume developer will not only open up your hair cuticle to help the toner take effect, but will also lighten your hair on its own. This makes it a great choice if you’re looking to tone your hair to a very light blonde shade or if your hair is a more noticeable orange color.  Don’t use a 30 or 40 volume developer at home. Higher volume developers could seriously damage your hair if not applied by a professional colorist. The best place to buy Wella products is online, through sites such...

Article in English: If your neighbors ask you a lot of personal questions, tell them that it makes you uncomfortable. The next time they do it, give them a straight answer, like "That's not something I would like to share with you." Stare them down, and make it clear that you mean business. Then walk away. They'll hopefully get the message and back off.  This approach is blunt and straightforward. It may get the point across, but it may also offend your neighbor's pride. Bear in mind that nosy neighbors aren't always trying to be obnoxious. He or she might be asking questions out of genuine curiosity. He or she may not have the tact or the social skills to know which questions are too personal. Be empathetic, but do not put up with anything that violates your space. If you tell your neighbor to stop asking questions, but he or she continues, you may need to take more serious steps to address the problem. If your neighbors like to spy on you, catch them and say something that will embarrass them. Discreetly inform everyone who is with you, and then out of nowhere say something like, "Hey Mrs. Jones, having fun there?" Watch as their face turns red. If they deny it, then just ignore them, and give them a cold shoulder. If they do it again, get them alone and ask them nicely to stop. Make jokes about them nosing. Say things like, "Now don't you go spying on me!" and they may realize that they are being too nosy. It might even make them stop. If they say, "So, Frank, buddy, what's up?" ninety-seven times a day, it wouldn't hurt to respond once, "Oh, just walking the dog," or "I'm good." This isn't the most exciting reply, and it makes it hard to think up further questions. Then ask, "How about you?" This can unsettle nosy people who don't like the feeling that you are nosing on them. If they aren't nosy and it's in your head, this is a great conversation starter. Make loud clapping noises in the backyard, play loud music, or flash your lights outside. If they keep snooping around in your business, these activities may irritate them...

Summary in Russian:

Не отвечайте на бестактные вопросы. Подловите соседа во время слежки за вами. Раскройте немного информации о себе, а затем задайте ответный вопрос. Доставляйте неудобства вашим соседям до тех пор, пока они не оставят вас в покое. Обратитесь в правоохранительные органы.


Article in English: If your new love interest seems to always pay for everything you do in cash, it may because he or she doesn't want the spouse to see the charges on the credit card bills or debit card statements. In today's world, most people pay with things, especially meals, with credit cards. If every date is paid for in cash, this could be a red flag. Some people do carry cash around to pay for cheaper transactions, such as movie tickets and fast food meals. Other people who are financially well off may carry around hundreds of dollars in cash. Most people, however, generally use a mixture of debit cards, credit cards, and cash. m. Another red flag that someone might be married is the limited times they can see you, especially at night. People who are serious about the person they are dating or who are serious about the budding serious relationship will be willing to extend the date past 10 p.m. Occasionally, they may need to be home at an early hour, like on weekday nights. Weekends, however, should open up the schedule for later dates. Can he only see you between the hours of 6 p.m. and 9:45? If so, then it may be because he has to get home to his wife and family in a reasonable time frame. It's okay if this happens once in a while, but if he always says he has to get back home because of a big meeting the next morning or an early flight, then he may just be making excuses. Have you been to the person's house? If you've been dating for a few months and haven't seen the person's home, that may be a cause for concern. Listen for constant, flimsy excuses: his place is too messy, or your place is so nice. If you always go back to your place and have no idea where the other person lives, then you might should worry.  Find a reason to go back to his home. If he consistently refuses to let you see where he lives, he may be married. People who are cheating act very secretive when it comes to phone calls. Decide if the person's phone habits make sense or if there might be cause for concern.  Does he receive a lot of phone calls...

Summary in Russian:

Обратите внимание на то, как человек рассчитывается за все на ваших свиданиях. Обратите внимание на то, нужно ли человеку спешить домой к определенному времени вечером. Подумайте, бывали ли вы дома у этого человека. Подумайте, есть ли что-нибудь странное в том, как человек отвечает на телефон. Подумайте, знакомы ли вы с кем-нибудь, кто занимал бы важное место в его жизни. Проанализируйте то, как человек продумывает планы.


Article in English: If your only option seems to be making up a more elaborate excuse—or if you just want to be daring—do so carefully. Many common excuses, like “my dog ate my homework,” are familiar to teachers and they will not believe them. It is difficult to outsmart a teacher who has years of experience working with students and their excuses. Teachers are familiar with many excuses, and can often recognize outlandish ones as untrue. Turn in the illegible or destroyed assignment, so that you can show your “proof” of your excuse.  Crumple and tear a paper assignment. Then you can tell the teacher that it flew out the window and got run over or trampled on. Smear dirt and water on your assignment and claim it fell in a puddle. Make sure to write a few words (bonus points if it relates to the homework assignment) so that it looks believable. Spill something dark (like juice or ink) on the assignment so that it is illegible. For instance, if you have to save work to a USB drive, you can claim to have a problem with the file. If you are asked to email or otherwise electronically send a homework file, you can “accidentally” send a different assignment, or the “wrong” draft (which could have just your name and the first part of the assignment, for instance). You might even be able to purchase corrupted files.   Be aware that your teachers can be tech-savvy and know all of these tricks, so you might have to get creative. your homework fell out of your bag, you grabbed the wrong folder at home, you had a funeral to go to. For instance, with math work you can write random figures or answers to make it look like you did the work. This might take a lot of time, however, and if your teacher looks closely you might get caught. For instance, if you tell your teacher that you forgot your homework in your locker, he or she can just ask you to go and get it, and you will be caught.

Summary in Russian:

Придумайте как можно более правдоподобное оправдание. Попробуйте вовсе избавиться от задания, чтобы учитель не обвинил вас в том, что вы не выполнили эту работу. Придумайте отговорку, ссылаясь на сбой в работе техники. Попробуйте менее изобретательные отговорки, которые тоже могут сработать. Если у вас есть такая возможность, подделайте домашнюю работу или спишите ее. Не стоит прибегать к оправданиям, которые могут грозить неприятными последствиями.


Article in English: If your parents are talking but you have a question, don't interrupt. Instead, wait until they are done. Say please and thank you, and remember to say excuse me if you burp. If someone asks you to pass something, do it immediately. And make sure to hold the door for people.

Summary in Russian:

Следите за своими манерами. Не разговаривайте во время еды.


Article in English: If your parents don’t give their approval to you to start shaving, simply accept their decision without complaining or getting angry. Recognize that they only have your best interests at heart and there will come a time when they feel it’s right for you to start shaving. Thank your parents for their time listening to you. They will be much more likely to say yes at a later time if you deal with rejection in a mature and respectful way the first time. Know that many parents, especially mothers, will try to delay you from shaving as long as possible simply because they know that once you start, shaving quickly becomes an annoying burden and waste of time. Imagine waking up an extra 15 minutes early in the morning, or having to take the time to shave when you’re late for a pool party or want to wear shorts but need your legs to be smooth first. Shaving is an ongoing chore and time commitment. Know that body hair is natural and considered very beautiful on women in many countries. It’s your decision, and you can choose not to shave at all.  Know that shaving has no hygiene benefits. Shaving does not benefit your health or hygiene and is not required in any way. In fact, body hair holds good bacteria that can help you ward off dirt and illness.  Shaving might only makes your hair grow back temporarily more prickly and sometimes darker and coarser each time, but it will stabilizes at one point. Note that once you shave for the first time, your leg hair may be more noticeable than it was before and have to be shaved more and more often. Consider the fact that most people don’t even see or notice your leg hair! Even if it seems like you’re the only one who doesn’t shave, many people won’t ever be close enough to your legs to notice, or won’t even care! Don’t let other girls pressure you into feeling like shaving your legs is a requirement or necessary to fit in.  Try finding a friend who doesn’t shave yet either and teaming up with her to show other girls it’s okay not to shave.  You can tell other girls that you...

Article in English: If your parents say "No," or express uncertainty, avoid arguing. The more mature you are, the more likely your parents are to allow you to get another dog. Dogs take a lot of responsibility, so you want to show your parents that you are responsible. Instead of arguing, listen to your parents in a calm fashion. Do not say, "It's so unfair you won't let me get another dog." Instead, say, "Okay, I understand why it would be a lot of work for you." " If your parents say "No," it can be helpful to ask why. This will allow you to better understand their perspective and possibly find a solution or compromise. Ask respectfully. Say something like, "I understand you don't want to get a second dog. Could we please talk about why?" Your parents may want you to learn the value of work and responsibility. If you can offer to earn the dog in some way, they may agree to get one eventually. For example, you can offer to bring up your grades in exchange for a dog.  If your parents say "No" initially, gently introduce the topic of you earning the dog. Try asking first. Say something like, "Is there any way I could earn the dog as a reward?" Provide your parents with some examples of what you would do to earn the dog. For example, "I know you're not happy with my math grade. What if I tried to bring that up in exchange for the dog?" If cost is an issue, offer to pay. If you have a part time job, or are willing to get one, see if your parents would agree to get a dog if you paid some of the the expenses. You can offer to pay the adoption fee at the shelter, for example, or to pay for things like new supplies. Say something like, "If money is an issue, I can pay for the adoption fee. I can start saving money from my paper route until I have enough." Even if you ask calmly and maturely, your parents may still say "No." A dog is a big responsibility for both you and your parents and they may not be up to get another one right now. Instead of arguing, maturely accept the "No" answer for now. In the future, your parents will be more...

Summary in Russian:

Не спорьте. Спокойной уточните причины отказа. Попробуйте сделать встречное предложение. Предложите оплатить часть расходов. Временно смиритесь с отказом.


Article in English: If your partner knew about the affair and encouraged you to end it, tell him or her that it's over. There may be a lot of work to be done to patch up your relationship. Your partner will be angry, and you may feel guilt for a long time to come. Stay strong in the knowledge that you made the choice to be honest and take action.  If your partner did not know about the affair, consider whether you want to tell her or him. There's risk involved, yes, but if you plan to continue the relationship, it's best to start from a place of honesty. Another reason you may want to tell your partner is so that he or she doesn't find out from someone else. If the person with whom you had an affair is very upset, she or he may try to get in touch with your partner. Breakups are tough, no matter what the situation. You relied on someone to meet your needs, and now there's a gap in your life where that person used to be. Take care of yourself. Guilt is a healthy emotion to have when you feel you've done something wrong, but long-term shame won't help anyone at this point. We're all striving to be better people, and we all make mistakes that hurt others. The best thing you can do is move forward and try to live more honestly in the future. Be more upfront about your feelings with yourself to prevent this from happening again down the road.

Summary in Russian:

Проявите уважение к партнёру. Позвольте себе погоревать. Двигайтесь дальше.


Article in English: If your partner thinks that you understand and sympathize with their behavior, they will feel safe.  This will make them more likely to share with you that they cheated.  Put your partner at ease.  Offer some excuse as to why you can understand what they did.  For instance, you might say, “I know I’m gone a lot for work.  I could understand if you’ve been seeing someone else.” Offer encouragement with phrases like, “I’ve always been honest with you” or “Please just be honest if you’re cheating on me.  I want to know the real you.”  You could also say, “It’s okay, I won’t be upset if you cheated on me.” Adopting an empathetic, gently approach is usually best, but some people won’t confess unless you turn up the heat a bit and show that you’re in control.  Don’t be aggressive or domineering – just make them a bit uncomfortable.  Get inside their personal space.  Bring your chair up more closely to your partner than you normally would. Take a small step toward them if you’re standing. Lean across the table when you speak. These subtle behaviors will shift the dynamic in your favor and could push them to spill the beans about what they’ve done. If your partner is violent or if you believe that they will become violent, avoid taking these steps. You may want to call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for advice. If you know that your partner was not at the bar last night, don’t begin a conversation about their whereabouts by saying, “I know you weren’t at the bar last night.”  This tips your hand and makes it easier for them to deny they were cheating. Instead, wait for them to fall into the trap of providing an excuse, then compare their story with information you definitely know about where they were not seen and who they were not with.  This will allow you to deflate their alibi. If you think you have substantial evidence that your partner is cheating but aren’t 100% positive, you could make your case against them directly in an effort to get them to confess.  Find a quiet moment when...

Summary in Russian:

Выразите свое сопереживание. Войдите в его пространство. Не выкладывайте всю имеющуюся у вас информацию. Сделайте вид, что вы точно знаете, что происходит. Позвольте партнеру заполнить пропуски. Сохраняйте спокойствие, когда партнер признается в измене.


Article in English: If your pit bull is feeling cooped up or has too much energy, he or she might get aggressive. Take your pit bull on lots of walks if you don't have a big backyard to run around in. You should be prepared to spend at least two hours day with your pit bull to give him the exercise and attention he needs. Or, if you need to, you should get out yourself and go to a dog park along with your furry friend. Walk your pit bull as often as necessary and take the time to clean up the dog's mess. A well-exercised dog is a happy dog. Pit bulls, like other dogs, like having their own small area that belongs to them. The crate should never be used as a punishment, but rather as a place for pit bulls to sleep or to go to if they are feeling overwhelmed. Put a collar and tags on your new pit bull so that you can find him when he gets lost. You should also get a microchip for your dog so he can easily be found if all else fails. Many pit bulls that are lost suffer because it is difficult to place them into homes with new families. Take the short time to properly care for your pet and you'll make a big difference in his well-being. If your pit bull is a puppy, he will have to urinate often. He'll need to use the toilet during several occasions: after he eats, after a long car ride, when he wakes up from a deep sleep, and after exercise. He'll need to go every few hours throughout the day, though by six months, he should be able to go a night without using the restroom. Here's how you can house-train your pit bull:  Before you get your puppy, pick a toilet area outside your home that will be his go-to spot. As soon as he gets home, take him to this area until he uses the bathroom. Praise him for doing his business. Look for signs that he needs to use the restroom and lead him to the area when he shows them. He may be scratching or sniffing the floor, walking in small circles, or generally looking agitated. Just like people, pit bulls are all different creatures with different fears and needs, and they have different body...

Summary in Russian:

Давайте питбулю много физической нагрузки. Используйте клетку. Наденьте на собаку ошейник и бирку, чтобы ее можно было легче найти, если она потеряется. Приучите питбуля к чистоплотности в стенах дома. Учитесь понимать язык тела вашей собаки.


Article in English: If your plan does not support tethering or mobile hotspots, there are some alternative options available on the Google Play Store.  One of the most popular tethering apps is Klink. This only supports USB tethering, meaning you connect your Note to a laptop or desktop via USB to share the internet. FoxFi is a popular Wi-Fi hotspot app that works without needing root access for your Note. Since FoxFi is not supported by carriers, there's a good chance that it won't work properly, but if it does it can save you a lot of money on your monthly phone bill. Once you start your hotspot app, you'll be able to configure it much like you would an official hotspot. This includes setting up a network name (SSID) as well as creating a password.  Don't include any personal information in the name (SSID). Make sure that the password is strong so that unauthorized users cannot access the hotspot. If you're using Klink, there's no configuration necessary. Simply connect your Note to your computer using a USB cable and tap "Start". After configuring your network, turn the hotspot on from the app. This will allow your Note to start broadcasting a wireless signal that other devices can connect to. Now that your Note is broadcasting a wireless signal, you can connect your other devices to it.  Open the wireless network list on the device that you want to connect to the hotspot. Select the name you set for the wireless network and enter the password. After a moment, the device will be connected to the internet. When you have multiple devices connected to the hotspot, they can eat through your data quite quickly. This is especially a concern when laptops are connected that are visiting the desktop versions of websites, which aren't optimized to conserve data.  Open the "Data Usage" section of the Settings menu. Use the slider to set a limit on how much data can be used.

Article in English: If your puppy has hip dysplasia, you may begin to see signs of the condition as early as 5 to 10 months of age. In particular, you may notice that your puppy has a harder time moving around than other puppies. It may:  Take shorter steps or have less of a stride Hold its back legs together and use its front legs more so that it can hop with its back legs, much like a bunny While playing might be fine for your puppy, you should still keep an eye on it to see how it handles resting after play. A pup that has hip dysplasia will be more inclined to lie down for longer, and may act like it doesn’t want to get up after it has rested. This is because its hips become stiff when resting after activity. If your pup has hip dysplasia, it will most likely avoid jumping up on couches, your lap, etc. This is because its back legs are not as strong as its front legs, and it could hurt to exert enough force on its back legs to jump up onto things. Pat the couch next to you. If your puppy looks like it wants to jump up but doesn’t, or tries to and then whines in pain, it may have hip dysplasia. As mentioned above, puppies and young dogs who have hip dysplasia have a harder time moving around than other dogs. This might lead to your dog developing an unsteady walk that could be described as:  Wobbling Weaving Tipping over a lot Puppies and young dogs with hip dysplasia tend to stand with their rear legs slightly forward, so that their front legs can support more of their weight. This can lead to their forearms being much more developed than their hind legs. When your puppy is standing:  Check to see if its hind legs are pressed slightly forward. Feel its forearms, which may be muscular, compared to its hind legs, which might feel bony.

Смотрите, если ваш щенок или молодая собака не решается прыгнуть на вещи. Следите за молодой собакой, чтобы увидеть, имеет ли она колебания, неустойчивую походку. Посмотрите, как ваш щенок стоит, и переносит ли он больше веса на передние ноги.


Article in English: If your recipe calls for a tablespoon of fresh oregano or any other herb, you can substitute it with a teaspoon of the dried herb.  Dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor, so remember to use less of them than the recipe calls for fresh herbs.  Fresh herbs are often used to give the dish a lively and fresh flavor, so be aware that using an herb substitution will make the dish taste different. The flavors will be more concentrated but you won’t get the liveliness offered by fresh herbs. If you run out of fresh sage for the Thanksgiving turkey or another meat dish, you can always use the dried variety. Remember that dried sage has a more concentrated flavor, so you should use a third of the fresh sage that the recipe asks for. Rosemary is often used in baking, sauces, and on meats in Mediterranean dishes. If you run out of fresh rosemary, you can always use the dried variety. Remember to only use a third of the amount of fresh rosemary called for in the recipe. Mint is a wonderful addition to savory dishes and is used in many desserts as well as drinks like tea or a mojito. If your recipe calls for a tablespoon of chopped fresh mint, add a teaspoon of the dried variety in its place. Dried cilantro does not work well if the dish is calling for a cilantro garnish but should work fine if the cilantro is integrated into the main dish. If the recipe calls for a large amount of fresh cilantro, you might want to make a different recipe.

Article in English: If your sink isn’t available, use a bucket or even a bathtub instead. Add at least 1⁄4 US gal (950 mL) of lukewarm water, enough to submerge the garment. Make sure the water is at room temperature or a little warmer than that so it effectively relaxes the fibers in the fabric.  Cold water won’t help you stretch out clothing. On the other hand, hot water shrinks and damages clothing, so avoid using it here. Note that knitted clothes, including cotton, wool, and cashmere garments, respond to this tactic better than other types of fabric. Fabrics with tight weaves, such as silk, rayon, or polyester, will be more difficult to reshape. Unroll the towel, then move the garment to a second dry towel spread out over a flat surface. Use your hands to tug on the edges of the damp clothing. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fabric’s fibers. It may not be exactly the same as it was before it shrunk, but try to get the clothing as close as possible to its original shape.  For a more accurate way to gauge the size and shape your garment needs to be, create a cutout. Find a similarly-sized garment and use it to trace an outline on parchment paper. Then, place the garment over the outline while you’re stretching it. If you’re having a hard time stretching the clothing, use the steam setting on an iron. The steam softens stiff fabric. Keep the garment on the towel. Work on parts of the garment one at a time so you’re able to pin them in place as you reshape them. If you don’t have heavy books, try using paperweights, coffee mugs, or anything else you have available. Eventually, your garment will be covered in these weights so the fabric can’t move at all.  If you do not have any heavy objects nearby, hold the garment in place with clothespins. You can leave the clothing this way until it dries. If your garment is in bad shape, consider checking back every 30 minutes and stretching it out again. If you need the clothing to dry faster, hang it up to air dry. Drape it over a curtain rod, put it on a clothes hanger, or put it in...

Наполните раковину слегка теплой водой. Растяните одежду руками, чтобы придать ей первоначальную форму. Закрепите одежду на месте книгами и другими тяжелыми предметами. При необходимости еще раз постирайте и высушите одежду.


Article in English: If your spouse acts violently towards you or anyone else in the home, the first thing you need to do is get yourself (and any other innocents) to a safe place. This may be a locked room somewhere else in home, a neighbor's house, or to the police station. If she comes at  you, try to shield yourself from harm as much as possible without retaliating as this can cause you to be considered a perpetrator, too.  If you have children in the home, alert them to head to your "safety zone" whenever shouting or other signs of violent behavior takes place. If you believe you are in danger, call the emergency services immediately. The first step in getting out is often just letting others know you are in an abusive relationship and you need support and help.  Beyond telling someone you trust, it can be helpful to ask them to assist in helping you find a way to leave. You generally need to gather resources, copies of documents and other items as you prepare to leave. A trusted friend can store these items for you. Gather any items you may need to leave like your own cell phone, a separate bank account and legal ID so you are not forced to stay in the home. Research your options as far as filing for separation, custody and other legal matters so you can coordinate as needed. If there are children in the home, make a plan for all of you to leave safely, if possible. This plan needs to take into account local laws about custody and what needs to occur so you can take the kids with you if that is what you want. Because abuse often follows the same cycle, you may be able to time leaving during a time where your partner thinks everything is “normal” and perhaps less likely to think something is going to happen. If you have to leave during the active abuse, beware this is the time you are most likely to be faced with possible false charges of you being the abuser, or even of getting hurt. You need to protect yourself from retaliation in the form of false charges of abuse from your partner; keeping records of everything will help...
