Article in English: If your child is younger than 3 months old, contact the child's pediatrician any time there is a fever above 38 °C (100.4 °F). For children older than 3 months with a fever under 40 °C (104 °F), you should call your doctor if the fever lasts more than two to three days. In these cases, your doctor should know whether or not your child needs to be monitored by medical professionals or if you can continue to treat the fever at home. Immediately contact a physician or emergency services if a child has a fever above 40.6 °C (105 °F), no matter the age. When your child is running a fever of 40.5 °C (105 °F) or above and starts having seizures or other neurological symptoms, is very lethargic, dehydrated, or if the fever is due to heat exhaustion, you should call an ambulance for immediate assistance. If the child has a temperature of 40.5 °C (105 °F), medical attention is necessary. Take your child to the doctor for assistance. Apply lukewarm or room temperature water with a sponge or cloth to your child’s head, neck, armpits, and wrists if his or her temperature is at or exceeds 40.5 °C (105 °F). This will provide a temporary reduction in body temperature. Give your child acetaminophen or ibuprofen right away to start bringing down the fever. After a doctor or medical professional has reduced your child’s fever, he or she will provide you with monitoring and treatment options for the future. Follow your doctor’s instructions closely to prevent another onset of dangerously high fever. Even if your child’s high-grade fever has seemingly been eliminated, it is critical you bring the child back for future follow-ups and visits with the doctor. This will help to eliminate any dangerous or potentially life-threatening complications in the future.

Article in English: If your child seems completely disinterested or even scared to do their math homework, they may have anxiety towards the subject. Your child may say something like “I'll never be good at math” and assume that they just don't have the intelligence for the subject. Pay attention to your child's behavior and see if they get upset specifically when they have to do math or if there is some other reason for their behavior that day. Positive reinforcement is a great way to help your child overcome math phobia. Instead of being negative when they get something wrong, talk through the problems with them and emphasize the aspects that they got correct. Point out the skills that they have mastered and stay positive about the ones that still need some work. Hire a tutor so they can get one-on-one help in a positive, confidence-building learning environment. Talk about math in a positive way. If your child gets an answer wrong, have them look at the problem again, without berating them for the mistake. There are several ways you can foster a positive learning environment for studying mathematics, or any other subject, for that matter:  Remind your child that math skills aren't learned automatically and that everyone learns at a different rate. Let your child set up a study environment that suits them, within reason. While you may not want to allow visual distractions such as the TV or internet, your child may prefer background music, or to study on the floor supported by pillows instead of sitting at a desk. Allow calculators and computers for doing the actual calculations, but encourage your child to learn to set up the problem without assistance. If your child is having trouble with math, working longer at it usually won't solve the problem. Extended study without a break can lead to frustration. Take a short break to let your child process the information and avoid prolonged frustration. Taking a step back to find out what the problem is and developing an alternate approach is a better way for your child to learn and...

Article in English: If your child sees you treating others poorly or engaging in destructive behaviors such as heavy drinking, smoking, or drug use, you’ll have little recourse to criticize his own poor behavior. You’ll be better equipped to handle the stress of raising a teenager when you are well rested, eating healthy, and allowing yourself time for regular exercise. Ensure you build adequate time into your daily routine to relax and take a break from your children. Wake early, take a brief walk, or let your kids know that you’re taking a few minutes to read a chapter in your book and will check back in with them once you’ve finished.  You’ll keep yourself balanced, even as you model good self-care for your children. Talk to friends or your partner about child rearing.  The old adage that “it takes a village to raise a child” really does carry truth; others will offer valuable insight, advice, or simply a listening ear for you to vent concerns and frustrations. Consider finding a support group or other source of external help if you’re really struggling.  Consult your child’s school counselor or your family physician for information on how to find extra support. Serious stress can produce symptoms of depression or anxiety.  If you’re concerned you may be suffering such ailments, please contact your doctor.

Article in English: If your child wakes from a bad dream or nightmare, be sure to respond quickly to her calls, and calmly and lovingly reassure her that you are there for her, and that she is safe. It can be tough for children to distinguish between the real feelings that they experience in their dreams and reality. Your calm presence will help relax your child, and will help her realize that she was just dreaming. Your child may be confused when he first wakes from a bad dream, and needs to know what just happened. He may be worried that there is still a bad guy in the house, for example, so you need to quickly help him figure out that he was dreaming. Tell him, “You had a bad dream, but I'm here, it's gone, and you're ok.” Explain to your child that everyone has bad dreams, and that you know how scary they can be. Even though you want your child to get over her fear, be careful not to dismiss it, and let her know that it's ok to be scared and upset as a result of having a bad dream. With younger children in particular, you may have good results getting your child to fall back asleep if you prepare magic “potions” or “spells” to cast away the demons, monsters, or bad dreams. Prepare a monster spray (water in a decorated spray bottle) or good dream dust that you can sprinkle around the room. If after talking together and cuddling your child is still nervous about falling back to sleep, she may be calmed if you provide her with a special stuffed animal or toy whose special job it is to protect your child from bad dreams. Have a special talk with “Mr. Hippo,” for example, and remind the toy that he needs to help your child have good dreams and chase away all of the bad dreams. If your child is nervous about falling back to sleep, take some time to talk about what she'd like to dream about instead.  Create a story with your child as the “star” and her friends or toys as the other players in the dream: what are they going to do together when she falls back asleep? Add plenty of details, and don't rush the story. With luck, your...

Article in English: If your child's eyes bulge outward because of this syndrome, it is important to keep them lubricated. The best way to do this is by using eye drops (which are also called artificial tears). The eye drops will help to keep your child's eyes from getting scratched. This is important because scratches along the lining of your child's eyes could potentially lead to vision problems. To use the eyes drops:  Apply the eye drops to your child's eyes at least four times a day for maximum effect. Check to see if the solution is temperature sensitive. If it is, keep it in the fridge. Mild, non-comedogenic (meaning it doesn't block pores) cleansers and mild baby shampoos can be used to prevent bacteria from accumulating near your child's eyes, leading to irritation and infection. It is best to do this at night to wash away any dirt that accumulated during the day. To clean your child's eyelashes:   Step 1: Make sure your child's eyes are kept closed, and get them damp. Right after showering is a great time to do this. Make sure that your child's eyes stay closed. Wash your hands with warm water and soap.  Step 2: Put a pea-sized drop of shampoo on your clean index finger. Gently rub the shampoo along your child's eyelashes. Give the eyelashes 40 gentle rubs.  Step 3: Rinse off excess shampoo with a washcloth and warm water. Because your child's eyes are more exposed to dirt and bacteria than most other children, it's important to give him as much protection as possible. Sunglasses are the best protection for outside activities, while normal glasses or even eye goggles can be worn when doing activities inside that could potentially get into your child's eyes.

Article in English: If your class has assigned seats, this may not be an option. But if you get to choose your seat each time you go to class, try picking one near the front. With your teacher that close to you, you might find it a little easier to pay attention. This might not be the most pleasant solution, but it can be really effective. If your class has assigned seating, ask your teacher after class about moving. Be upfront and tell them you want to move because you’re having trouble staying focused. Fidgeting and squeezing a ball might not sound very motivating right now, but give it a try! It actually helps a lot of people, because it gives them something to do with their hands while they sit in class. You can just squeeze it whenever you feel like it, or make it into a game.  For instance, you could squeeze the ball every time your Algebra teacher says “equation.” It's not the most thrilling game, but it will keep you tuned into the lecture! Some schools don't allow fidget spinners so find out your school's policy on them before bringing one in. Other great fidget devices include kneaded erasers and fidget boxes. The latter consists of a small cube, filled with buttons, switches, and scrolls. As soon as you start drifting off, make yourself do something small, like grab a new pen from your bag, do some neck rolls, or cross your other leg. These little actions may not seem like much, but they can help your brain reboot when you feel your concentration slipping. Even if the subject matter is boring, your notes don’t have to be! Try visual notetaking, which is basically drawing images and diagrams instead of writing words. Or you could take down notes in a humorous tone, like you were telling a story to your best friend rather than jotting down boring facts.  For example, say your teacher is droning on about Benjamin Franklin's exploration of electricity. Your notes could say: “So Ben got the bright idea to tie a metal key to a kite string. Then made his own son fly the kite in a thunderstorm! Poor kid was a sitting duck. He...

Article in English: If your clay is only slightly hard, you may be able to soften it just by warming and kneading it with your hands. Before you start kneading the clay, hold the clay in your hands to warm it. You can also warm it using the heat of your body by sitting on top of it.  Warmth helps to revitalize the clay. If your clay is only a little bit hard, you may be able to restore its softness just using body heat. No matter what method you use to soften clay, always warm it first. If the clay is especially hard, you may need to use a heat source to soften the clay. Lay a hot water bottle over your clay for twenty minutes to help soften it.  You can also use a heat lamp, but be sure to not heat the clay over body temperature. This can cause the clay to start to bake, which will make it unusable. Additionally, you can put the clay in the microwave for 10-second spurts until it is warm. Once the clay has softened, roll it between your hands in a snake shape, then roll it into a ball. Rolling the clay creates friction, which helps to soften it. You can also cut the clay into small pieces, then roll it. If the clay is still too hard to roll with your hands, you may need to use more force. Lay the piece of clay on a clean cutting board or on the counter, then press down on the clay to flatten it out as much as you can. Then roll the clay out with a rolling pin. After you roll it out, it should be warm enough to roll with your hands. If your clay is too hard to roll out with a rolling pin, you will need a large amount of force. Break the clay up into as small of pieces as you can, then place the clay pieces in a sealed plastic bag. Wrap the bag with a cloth and put it on the floor or on the cement or pavement outside.  Use a rubber mallet to pound on the clay for several minutes. Using the mallet will break up the clay and add friction which will make it softer. After you have used the rubber mallet, take the clay out of the bag and roll it with your hands into a ball. After you have rolled the clay, knead the clay with your...

Article in English: If your closet is big enough, then it's likely that you've stored things other than clothes in it, such as big boxes filled with mementos, old photo albums, and CDs you haven't seen for ten years. To finish organizing your closet, you should go through these old boxes to see what you should keep and what you should toss. Here's how to do it:  Get rid of any papers or items you've kept for over a year that have no sentimental value. Consolidate the boxes to save closet space. If your closet is already cramped, consider putting some of the items in a different place, such as putting your old high school yearbooks on the bottom of your bookshelf. If you've been using cardboard boxes, trade them up for plastic bins. They will last longer and will be more visually appealing. Label the boxes or bins so you know what's in them next time you move or organize your things again. Take the time to go through any additional items in your closet to make sure that you still need them and that the closet is really the best place for them. Here are some examples:  If you find any towels, sheets, or blankets, put them in your linen closet. If you've had an old lawn chair or another piece of furniture you don't really need hanging out back there, it's time to throw it out. If you've had to pick up an item and spend at least fifteen seconds trying to figure out what the heck it is or why you would need it, it's time to throw it out. Make sure that all of the other items you find belong in the closet and not another part of your home. For example, if you find a box of light bulbs, a box of comic books, or a box of chocolate, ask yourself if those items wouldn't be more logically organized elsewhere. Turn your creativity loose and think of ways to add pleasure to the routine of getting dressed and looking through your closet every day. If you spend more time making your closet look nice, then you will be less likely to let it get messy in the future.  Paint your closet a soft pretty color. Add mirrors for sparkle. Hang jewelry and...

Article in English: If your code doesn't work, double check what you typed in. Make sure you're using the right URL for Netflix and you typed in the code correctly. You can only use Netflix codes when accessing Netflix from a web browser. You need a laptop or a computer to use Netflix codes. You cannot type them in using an app or smart TV. If a code suddenly stops working, this may be because Netflix changed its library. When Netflix makes adjustments to its library, it may change how it organizes content so certain codes may become obsolete. If a code stops working, you may have to choose a different code with a similar category.

Article in English: If your company discourages or prohibits personal relationships among coworkers, and you don’t want to endanger your job, remind yourself of your priorities. You will probably decide that the crush is not worth risking your job.  Review your company’s workplace rules (perhaps available from your human resources department, if applicable) regarding personal relationships. Seeing the ramifications of having a romance in the works place spelled out might be enough motivation for you to put an end to the crush.  There may also be legal ramifications of having a workplace romance, depending on laws regulating sexual harassment in your area. If you dwell on a crush, and others at your workplace find out, gossip can spread. This can be the case even if you only talk about the crush, and don’t act on it. Gossip can give you a reputation for being unprofessional, and it can also lower your productivity and workplace morale. If you are worried about these risks, it may be best to not discuss your crush at work or with coworkers outside of your workplace. If you act on a crush you have on a coworker, there can be serious social ramifications, whether or not the crush reciprocates. Recognizing the risks of these can be enough to end your crush. Potential problems include:  Being rejected by your crush Lingering awkwardness if your crush does not reciprocate, or, if he or she does at first, but the relationship ultimately does not work out  Pressuring your crush to reciprocate if you are in a superior position in the workplace Loss of credibility among your coworkers, who may perceive you as acting unprofessionally or giving special treatment to your crush Even if you feel like you want to act on a crush, it is worth thinking about all possible outcomes, for better or worse. It is possible that the relationship could work out long-term, but if it does not:  The relationship might succeed at first, but then fall apart. If the relationship does not succeed, or eventually falls apart, you will have to deal with seeing the...

Article in English: If your computer came installed with Windows 7 or earlier, use this method to boot from a CD or DVD. Use the method above if your computer came installed with Windows 8. The CD or DVD that you insert in your computer will need to be properly configured to boot. This means it needs the correct files to allow your computer to boot from it. Windows and Linux installation discs are bootable, as are many computer utilities such as hard drive diagnostic tools. The correct key will be displayed on the computer manufacturer's logo screen when the computer first starts up. Keys vary depending on the manufacturer. Common keys include F1, F2, F11, and Delete. If you don't press the key in time, Windows will continue to boot as normal. If you press the correct key in time, the BIOS menu will open. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to open the BOOT menu. Each BIOS will have a different layout, though most should have a BOOT menu or something similar. Secure boot will prevent your computer from changing the boot order. This is a security measure, but will keep you from being able to boot from your CD or DVD. Disable it before changing your boot order settings. You can usually find the "Secure Boot" option in the BOOT menu. Use your arrow keys and the to move the CD/DVD drive above your hard drive. Some BIOS menus have you use the + and - keys to change the order. This will make your computer attempt to boot from the CD/DVD drive before it boots from the hard drive. If you have more than one optical drive installed on your computer, make sure you select the correct drive as the primary boot device. This will reboot your computer, and it will attempt to boot from your CD/DVD drive. If your computer boots straight to Windows, then you either did not save your BIOS boot order changes, or the disc is not a bootable disc.

Article in English: If your computer came preinstalled with Windows 8, 8.1, or 10, use this method to boot from the CD. If you upgraded your current computer from Windows 7 or earlier to Windows 8 or later, use the method in the next section. The reason for this is that newer computers use UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) instead of the traditional BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to control power-on sequence for the computer. This helps Windows 8 computers boot quickly and securely into Windows, but makes changing the boot order more complicated. UEFI requires UEFI-compliant hardware and special configuration if you are building your own computer. The CD will need to be programmed to be bootable in order to boot from it. Windows and Linux installation discs, as well as many computer utilities, are configured to be bootable. This means that they contain the necessary files to start the boot process.  If you're burning an ISO to a disc in attempt to make a bootable CD, you can use PowerISO to check if the disc image is bootable or not. When you load the ISO file into PowerISO, it will display whether or not it is bootable in the lower-left corner. One of the easiest and quickest ways to check if a disc is bootable is to just try booting from it. You can open the Charms bar by moving your mouse to the upper-right corner of the screen or by pressing ⊞ Win+I ⇧ Shift and click "Restart". This will reboot your computer load the "Choose an option" screen. Make sure that the CD or DVD you want to boot from has been inserted into your computer. Your computer will reboot and load from the inserted CD or DVD. If the disc is not a bootable disc, you will be taken back to Windows. If you don't have the "Use a device" menu, or aren't able to select your CD/DVD drive, read on. Select this if you couldn't select your CD/DVD drive in the previous step. This will load your motherboard's UEFI interface. This menu will allow you to change the order of devices that your computer attempts to boot from. UEFI menu layouts vary from one...

Article in English: If your computer has a dedicated (e.g., aftermarket or additional) video card installed, the video card most likely has its own software installed as well. This software usually provides the option to update the video card's drivers automatically. If you already tried using Device Manager to no avail, using your video card's software is a good next step. You can find the video card's name in Device Manager. If you haven't yet used Device Manager or you didn't look at your video card's information, do the following:  Open Start and click the search bar. Type in device manager, then click Device Manager in the menu. Expand the "Display adapters" heading by double-clicking it. Note the manufacturer and name of the video card you want to update. Click the search bar at the bottom of the Start menu, then type in the video card's manufacturer name or model name. This will bring up a list of matching software.  For example, if you have a NVIDIA GeForce video card installed on your computer, you might type in nvidia or geforce here. If entering the manufacturer's name doesn't work, try using the video card's name instead. Click the program's name in the Start menu to do so. You should see the program open in its own window. If you can't find a video card program installed on your computer, you can still try to use the manufacturer's website to locate and download the driver. You'll usually find the proper option in a toolbar at the top of the program's window, but you may need to look around the window in order to find the right tab. For some programs, you may have to click a "Menu" icon (e.g., ☰) in the program's window in order to open a toolbar which displays the Updates or Drivers option. Once you're on the "Updates" or "Drivers" page, look for available updates near the top of the page. If you do see an available driver, click Download next to it (or below it) to prompt the driver to begin downloading. Once the download is complete, your video card's software will install automatically the driver.  In some...

Article in English: If your computer is currently on, but does not display a picture, hold the power button down for a few seconds, this will power off your computer. If the computer continues to not power off, remove any power sources such as turning off the power supply on your desktop or removing the battery on your laptop. Turn the computer back on to initiate the bootup sequence. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) of your computer allows you to change the settings of your computer including the CPU (Central Processing Unit) fan speed. During the bootup sequence of your computer, you will have to hit one of the function keys, either F2, F8 or F10 depending on your manufacturer to get to the Setup Menu.  If the computer is pre-built, check the user’s guide on how to activate the BIOS Setup Screen. You may also see the function key to press on the BIOS splash screen during start up. Try pressing the key repeatedly during the startup sequence to activate the menu. When you activate the BIOS setup screen, find the listing of the CPU fan speed by navigating to the ‘’Hardware Monitor’’ using the arrow keys on your keyboard then pressing ↵ Enter. The BIOS may show an alert if the fan speed is too slow. If there is no warning, identify what if the CPU fan speed is. Ensure the BIOS is set to automatically change the fan speed. BIOS settings will vary for most motherboards, refer to your computer or motherboard's manual for where the settings are located. In the hardware monitor, use the arrow keys to navigate to the CPU fan settings. Press ↵ Enter then use the arrow keys to change the fan profile information to match automatic or optimal settings then press ↵ Enter again.  Verify the recommended fan setting in the user guide of your motherboard or computer. If the CPU fan speed is set at the recommended setting and is operating normally, the issue may be related to the graphics driver. You can also try controlling your fan's speed outside of the BIOS using a third party application such as SpeedFan if your computer supports these...

Article in English: If your computer is functional and you can load your operating system, try using software to check your power supply’s output. SpeedFan is a freeware program that will read your computer’s diagnostics and report back your temperatures and voltage’s. Check the readouts to ensure that they fall within accepted tolerances. If your computer does not work, skip to the next step. Unplug the power supply from the outlet. Turn off the power switch on the back of the power supply. Open the computer and disconnect all of the components from the power supply. Follow the cables from the power supply to each component to ensure that everything has been properly disconnected. These are available online and from computer stores, and are not very expensive. Find the 20/24 pin connector on the power supply. This is typically the largest cable for the power supply.  Connect the power supply testing unit to the 20/24 pin connector. Plug the power supply back into the outlet and turn it on. Your power supply should turn on automatically and your power supply tester will light up. Some power supply testers require you to turn on the power supply using a switch or button on the tester. Others will turn on automatically.  Check the voltages. The 20/24 pin connector will have multiple readouts, but there are 4 essential measurements you need to look for:  +3.3 VDC +5 VDC +12 VDC -12 VDC   Ensure that the voltages are within normal accepted tolerances. +3.3, +5, +12 can all be within +/- 5%. The -12 can be within +/- 10%. If any of the readings are outside that range, than the power supply is bad and needs to be replaced. Test the other connectors. Once you’ve verified that the main connector is outputting power properly, test each of the other connector cables one by one. Unplug and turn off the power supply between each test. Straighten a paperclip and then bend it into a “U” shape. Find the green pin on the 20/24 pin connector. Plug the paperclip into the green pin (pin 15) and into one of the neighboring black pins. This will...

More often than not, this only puts your computer into “sleep” mode. If your computer is currently plugged into a power outlet, unplug it. If it’s a laptop, unhook it from its charger, too. Detach any other devices that are connected to the computer. If you have a laptop, turn it over. Find the battery compartment. Release its latch to remove the lid. Take the battery out and set it aside. Expect some amount of electricity to still linger within your computer after you power it off and remove the battery. Press the power button and keep it pressed down for at least ten seconds. Discharge any residual electricity that’s still present. Before you open the computer and start working on its insides, put on a pair of latex gloves. Expect oils from your skin to interfere with the components’ normal operation. Also, wear a pair of anti-static bracelets to prevent your fingers from discharging any static electricity, which can also damage the components. Anti-static bracelets can be purchased online or at brick-and-mortar stores like Walmart or Radio Shack. Expect dirt and dust particles to also interfere with the computer’s working parts. Choose a clean area to work in. If your workspace needs to be cleaned, wait for any airborne particles to settle before you proceed with opening your computer.

Article in English: If your console is still covered by Microsoft's warranty, you should be able to get it repaired for free or for a discount. You may receive a replacement console if it is damaged beyond repair. Visit devicesupport.microsoft.com/en-US to register your devices, check their warranty status, and request service. The Red Ring of Death (three red lights around the Power button) can indicate a variety of different hardware problems. Most of the time, it will be because the console has overheated and the board has warped, causing chips to lose contact. You can use the secondary error code to determine the exact cause:  While the console is on and the red lights are flashing, press and hold the Sync button on the front of the Xbox. While holding the Sync button, press and release the Eject button. Note the flashing lights that indicate the first digit. One light means the first digit is "1," two means "2," three means "3," and four means "0." Press the Eject button again to get the next digit. There are four digits total. Once you have a secondary code, you can look it up to see what your hardware problem is. You can find the code meanings at xbox-experts.com/errorcodes.php. This will list the known repairs that can fix the code, as well as point you to the proper parts and tools you'll need. Even if your console is out of warranty, it may be easier to have it repaired at the local electronics shop or hobbyist's garage than to try it yourself. Check Craigslist and local ads for Xbox 360 repair services. This is especially important if your Xbox needs to be reflowed, as this requires special equipment to do right. One of the most common replacement parts you'll need is an X-Clamp replacement. This is the piece that keeps the heatsink attached to the CPU, and getting a new one will keep things solidly in place. You'll also likely need new thermal paste to apply between the CPU and the heatsink. If you're replacing the clamps on the Xbox 360, you'll likely need a drill in order to install the larger replacement bolts....

Article in English: If your cooked salmon has a foul odor, throw it away immediately.  A strong, sour smell is a clear indication that your leftover meal has gone bad. If the salmon does not have a mild, appetizing smell, do not eat it. A clear sign that leftover cooked salmon has gone bad is a slimy consistency. If your salmon has lost its thick, flaky texture, it is not worth eating. Throw it away if it has any sliminess to it. Cooked salmon should be thrown away if it sits out at room temperature for longer than two hours after cooking. Bacteria will begin to grow if the fish is not refrigerated before that point. Always take note of the time you cook salmon, or the time that you order it at a restaurant, and the time you are able to put it into the fridge. Three days after it is cooked, throw out leftover salmon regardless of whether it appears to be spoiled. If you are unsure about the condition of your salmon after two days, dispose of it. The chance of bacterial growth and illness is not worth the risk.

Article in English: If your cookware isn't stainless steel, try scouring the rust off with fine steel wool. Use a little bit of dish soap when scrubbing. This can prevent major scratching to your pan. If steel wool is unavailable or your cookware is stainless steel, try scouring the rust off with Bar Keepers Friend and a plastic scrubby. If you need a more natural or earth-conscious solution, try the following scouring options that our ancestors used to scour off rust:  Horsetail Rush- plants in genus Equisetum. A paste made from equal parts lemon juice and cream of tartar. Fine-grained sand (not on stainless steel though).

Article in English: If your cousin is visiting, you want to make sure he or she is properly accommodated. This is especially important if your cousin is staying in your home.  If your cousin is staying at your house, make sure you have everything ready. Things like extra towels and toiletries are easy to forget. Set aside some space, like an extra closet or drawer in the bathroom.  You should also make sure your cousin's electronics needs are met. Know what kind of phones and computers your cousin uses. Find some extra chargers lying around to properly accommodate him or her.  Create a homey vibe. Provide fresh sheets, pillows, and blankets for the guest room or sofa. Add something a little extra, like a fresh bouquet of flowers or a card welcoming your cousin to your home.  Stock up on extra food. You may be eating out a lot. However, you should have options for meals at home as well. Breakfast food, like yogurt, fruit, and cereal, is important. Have some snacks, like chips and crackers, as well as some basic staples in case you decide to cook in one night. Eating out is one of the most fun aspects of visiting friends or relatives. Even if your cousin just has a week off school or work, exploring food options in your own town can also be fun. Spend some time finding restaurants in your area.  Make sure to accommodate everyone's eating habits. Ask your cousin if he or she has any special dietary restrictions. Your cousin may be allergic to shellfish, for example, or vegetarian/vegan. Find restaurants that meet these needs. Go for establishments within your budget. If your cousin is visiting from college, for example, he or she may not want to drop a lot of money at a 5-star restaurant. You can search restaurants by price-range on websites such as Yelp. Ask friends and co-workers for suggestions as well. If you have a Facebook page, consider posting a status saying your cousin is in town or taking a week off. Ask people for suggestions of good restaurants and specifics on what you're looking for (e.g., something cheap, something...

Article in English: If your crush is around and you start feeling overwhelmed, force yourself to pay attention to something else. Get out your class notes and study for an upcoming exam. Read a book. Talk to a friend. If you’re in class, focus on your teacher’s lecture. If you’re not in class, call/text a friend or play a game. Even if you end up staring blankly at a page and not reading a word, it will still help you keep your feelings private and under control. Repressing feelings for a crush can be really hard. If you find another outlet for your emotions, it can help you cope with them better. Lots of people find that journaling helps them sort out their feelings.  You could also try a creative activity, like painting or writing a song.  Physical activities can also help you deal with emotions. Go for a run or try a new sport. When you’re busy learning something new and interesting, your crush might not seem like such a big deal anymore. Trying something new will help you focus on something else. Try to immerse yourself in things that will get you out of the house and around other people. When you find yourself thinking about your crush, actively engage your mind with something else.

Summary in Russian:

Отвлекитесь. Найдите другой способ выразить свои эмоции. Найдите новое увлечение.


Article in English: If your crush is into you, they’ll likely follow you on all of your social media accounts to learn as much about you as possible. Notice if they send you messages on Instagram, tag you in posts on Facebook, or interact with you often on other forms of social media. If your crush only texts you late at night or when they’re bored, they might not be as interested as you are. Someone who really likes you will text or call you whenever they’re thinking about you, such as when they have free time during the day and want to know what you're doing, or when something exciting happens and they want to share it with you. If your crush texts you in the morning, this is a good sign—it means you’re one of the first things they think of when they wake up. Someone who is super interested in you will want to talk to you all the time. If you and your crush have lengthy conversations often, or even just send a few short texts throughout the day, it’s likely that they have strong feelings for you. This could also be a sign that your crush thinks of you as a very good friend. These could be messages over text or over social media. If you send your crush messages and they don’t respond often, they might not be interested. Check to see if your crush always responds to your messages, even if it isn’t an immediate response.  Be aware that your crush might not be able to respond as soon as you send a message. If they respond after a few hours, this is still a sign they like you, while if they don’t respond for several days, they might not be interested. Don't rely on this to determine whether your crush definitely likes you, as responding to messages promptly is also just a very courteous thing to do.

Summary in Russian:

Замечайте частое взаимодействие в социальных сетях. Обратите внимание, в какое время человек звонит или пишет вам. Оцените частоту сообщений или звонков. Замечайте, как часто человек отвечает на ваши сообщения.


Article in English: If your crush likes you back, they’ll want to know if you’re interested in or seeing anyone else. Pay attention to whether your crush asks you if you’re in a relationship, as well as any questions about what you’re looking for in someone. Your crush may be more indirect and ask your friends if you’re in a relationship instead. This means they want to find out as much as possible about you because they’re genuinely interested in getting to know you. See if your crush listens when you talk about your life and whether or not they remember details of what you’ve told them about yourself.  For example, they might ask you what your favorite food is, if you have any pets, or what television show is your favorite. This could also just be your crush wanting to become better friends with you. If you told your crush you love ice skating and they plan an outing to go to an ice rink, this is a sign they’ve been listening intently to what you tell them. This could include things like where they want to travel, what career they’re pursuing, or what they hope their life is like in 5 years. If your crush starts up a conversation about their future with you, or asks you about your future, this could be a sign they like you a lot. For example, if your crush says, “I’m considering studying Engineering in college, what do you think you’ll study?” your crush is showing that they’d like to have deeper conversations with you. Ideally if your crush likes you, it means they feel very comfortable around you and want you to get to know them super well. Strike up conversations with your crush and see if they reveal any secrets about themselves that nobody else knows, proving they trust you.  These could be big topics like details about their family life or past relationships, or small tidbits of information that they’ve never thought to tell anyone else. Even if this doesn't mean your crush likes you back, it does mean that they trust you.

Summary in Russian:

Симпатия может быть взаимной, если человек спрашивает у вас о наличии партнера. Замечайте различные вопросы о вашей жизни или увлечениях. Обратите внимание на разговоры о будущем, которые могут быть признаком симпатии. Замечайте информацию, которой человек делится только с вами.


Article in English: If your crush really likes you, they’ll want to spend as much time with you as possible. This includes hanging out with you around friends and family, as well as wanting to spend alone time with you. See if your crush asks to hang out with you often, and if they find ways to interact with you when you're with a group of people.  For example, if you’re at a party and your crush asks if you want to dance or get a snack together, this could mean they like you. If your crush makes little excuses to be around you, such as to study for a test or hitch a ride to work or school, it’s possible they really like you and want to spend more time with you. If your crush told their friends that they like you, the friends might act differently around you. When you’re hanging out with your crush and their friends, see if the friends do things like try to embarrass your crush or say great things about them when they notice you’re listening.  Your crush's friends might talk up your crush in front of you to try to get you to like your crush as much as they like you. Some friends of your crush may even drop hints to you that your crush likes you, such as telling you to ask your crush to hang out just the two of you. This is another sign that they listen well and are caring. If you tell your crush you’re cold, hungry, or have any other sort of need, see how they respond. If they try to help you by providing whatever it is you asked for, they’re showing you that they care about making you feel better.  For example, if your crush offers you a jacket when you say you’re cold or brings you soup when you’re sick, these are strong signs that they care about you. While it's great if your crush shows that they care about you, this isn't a guarantee that they have a crush on you as well. This includes both their personal space like their home or car, as well as their appearance. If you visit your crush and notice that they’ve picked up their room or took extra care to look nice, they may be trying to impress you.  Your crush could clean...

Summary in Russian:

Человек находит поводы проводить время с вами. Обращайте внимание на поведение друзей человека в вашем присутствии. Человек замечает ваши потребности. Обращайте внимание на заботу о чистоте и порядке. Человек улыбается и смеется над вашими шутками. Замечайте игривое поведение и флирт.


Article in English: If your crush rejected you, it's possible you were more attracted to their appearance than their personality. Whatever the circumstances of your rejection were, now would be a good time to be honest with yourself and determine what you want from an ideal partner. Think about traits you would want from an ideal partner. Perhaps you want someone who is warm and caring, or maybe trustworthiness is more important to you. Shared interests or worldview is also a common trait people seek in a partner. Whatever it is that you think you want from a partner, figure it out before you start having feelings for anyone else. While ideal partner preferences shape the type of person you actively seek out, you also have an unspoken emotional reaction to most people you meet. Sometimes we're blinded by our emotional reaction to someone because of their looks or charming personality, but it's important to learn to recognize the emotional reaction you feel in someone's presence. Emotional reactions are typically unconscious, and you can't change that reaction. But as you analyze your emotions over time (perhaps through journaling), you can learn to recognize the emotional reaction that you have to a person. Even if someone has traits that you find ideal and you have a positive emotional reaction to that person, you may simply not be a good match when it comes to longterm compatibility. Learning how to evaluate a crush for real, meaningful compatibility can be the difference between frustrating relationship problems and a meaningful, fulfilling partnership.  Think about the personality traits you find most desirable. Do you have a "type"? Does that type typically work well with you? Or are you only seeing the surface of people you have a crush on?   Trust your gut. If you find someone attractive but don't have much in common with them, it probably won't work out, and you probably already know this. Learn to trust your gut as you evaluate potential partners, as this will help you avoid getting hurt and rejected in the future.

Summary in Russian:

Составьте портрет идеального партнера. Замечайте свои эмоциональные реакции. Оценивайте реальную совместимость с человеком.


Article in English: If your current job makes you unhappy, ask yourself why that is. A problem with the work itself will be difficult to remedy without a career change, but a problem with the conditions of your job is usually a bit easier to solve. Talk to your boss about altering your responsibilities and tasks. Ask if the work you do can be tailored more toward your passions and skills, and discuss ways to ultimately improve your productivity. If you feel overworked or overwhelmed, your boss might be able to rearrange your responsibilities in a way that will allow you to produce higher quality work in a more comfortable environment. Similarly, if you feel unchallenged at work, most bosses will be happy to assign you more challenging tasks. If you can no longer stand to do the work required of you within the department you currently work in, find out if there is another department within the company that you can work in, instead. In doing so, you can essentially get a completely different job without dramatically jeopardizing your job security. Research the prospect before you bring it to your boss's attention. Find out if there are any other areas of the company you are qualified to work in, and pay close attention to departments and teams in need of new help that you could offer. Some of the biggest problems people face on the job are related to co-workers. There are some people you will always have to work with, but discuss the matter with your boss and ask to spend more time working away from those people and more time working with people you can stand.  Working with new co-workers can be a good idea from time to time even if you get along with the ones you currently work with. Doing so can make you view your work from a different perspective. When you do find people you can work with remarkably well, collaborate with them as often as possible. Workplace friendships can be risky, but they can also be very rewarding. Keep an eye out for a co-worker you can get along with and talk to easily. Build your friendship with that...

Article in English: If your curse is successful, it could significantly affect your target's life — possibly even leading to death. Note, however, that many people do not believe in magic or the efficacy of curses, and there is little scientific evidence to suggest they work. Studies have shown that people who believe they're cursed and feel helpless against it may suffer from diastolic flaccidity, which causes a rapid drop in blood pressure and can lead to death. It is a popular belief amongst witches that curses are unethical and, as a result, will return to the curser in the same form they have been given. If you curse someone, be prepared for bad luck to visit you as well.  A common Wiccan concept also abides by this reap-what-you-sow mentality: it says that whatever you do, whether it be positive or negative, will come back to you threefold. There is little known about the psychological impact the person placing the curse may suffer when they are successful in hurting their target. If you place a curse on someone, you might suffer psychological stresses that you can't even imagine at this point. Think about why you want to take revenge, and if it's really worth your time and energy to do so. Chances are, your time and energy are better spent moving your life forward instead of dwelling on negative emotions that will only make you feel worse.  When you take time out of your life to seek vengeance instead of moving on, you're wasting valuable moments in which you could be bettering your life. The person who hurt you might very well deserve to have something bad happen to them, but they certainly don't deserve to take up any more of your time. Studies have shown that getting revenge can actually make us feel worse. Experts believe this might be because taking vengeance can make the event seem bigger than it actually was, whereas the failure to take vengeance can make the event seem more trivial in the long run. If you decide that you want to move forward with the curse, sit down and carefully think about what you want to...

Summary in Russian:

Опасайтесь возможных результатов. Знайте, что проклятие имеет обратную силу. Подумайте о  прощении и двигайтесь дальше. Обозначьте свои цели. Позаботьтесь о собственной безопасности.


Article in English: If your cut is deep, wide, or jagged, your doctor may decide that you need stitches (a.k.a. sutures) or staples for it to heal well. When a doctor stitches or staples a cut, he or she will first clean the cut and give you numbing medicine by injecting it around the wound. After the doctor completes the stitches, he or she will dress the cut with a bandage or gauze.  Stitches use a sterile surgical needle and thread to join the edges of a cut together. They can be absorbable, and dissolve over time, or non-absorbable, and will need to be removed after the wound heals. Staples used on cuts are special surgical staples that perform the same task at stitches and must be removed like non-absorbable stitches. It is important to take care of your stitches or staples to make sure the wound heals well and does not get infection. To do this:  Keep your stitches or staples dry and covered with a bandage for several days. The doctor should tell you how long this should be. It is usually one to three days depending on the type of stitches and the size of the wound. Once you can get them wet, gently wash the wound over the stitches or staples with soap and water when you shower. Do not submerge the wound underwater, like in a bath or when swimming. Too much water can slow down healing and result in infection. After washing the area, pat it dry and apply antibiotic ointment. Cover the area with a bandage or gauze unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Your doctor should tell you specifically how long to do this. Stitches can break, causing the wound to open again. Call your doctor if this happens. Call your doctor if you develop signs of infection (e.g. fever, redness, swelling, drainage of pus, or red streaks radiating from the wound). Non-absorbable stitches and staples will usually be removed five to 14 days after they are put in. Once they are out, make sure to protect the scar from the sun using sunscreen or covering it with clothes. Ask your doctor if there are any lotions or creams they can recommend to help your...

Article in English: If your cycle is regular, you may be able to determine your egg's next release through your Fallopian tubes with simple math. If your cycle is 28 days long, you'll probably ovulate around day 12 to 14. A good rule of thumb is to count back 16 days from the first day of your next period. You'll probably ovulate up to five days after that day. There are also plenty of calculators available online. Your basal temperature (lowest body temperature in any given 24-hour period) will rise 0.2 degrees F (0.11 degrees C) a few days after you ovulate. You can use any thermometer that measure to 1/10th of a degree. You're looking for fluctuations that are smaller than a degree, which are difficult to see on a regular thermometer. You can find a basal thermometer at your local drug store or big box store. Monitor color and texture. Your mucus will increase and be most slippery around the time of your ovulation. If you can stretch it between your fingers, you probably are ovulating. These changes can be difficult to detect, so monitor for them often. Ovulation prediction kits can predict a released egg a day in advance. It uses the same methodology as a pregnancy test. However, they can cost anywhere from $20 to $50 for a box of test strips or sticks. You can buy them in your local drug store. Ovulation kits test levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. This means you'll have to urinate on a stick. Unfortunately, it's not 100 percent accurate, so don't depend only on this method.

Article in English: If your dad is angry or violent, avoid arguing or trying to reason with him. In such a situation, the best way to handle the situation is to remain quiet and only speak when you are directly spoken to. Arguing or trying to explain your perspective may make him angrier and put you in harm's way. If you live with an abusive father, think of a place you can escape to when he’s at his worst. Getting out of his sight may protect you from verbal or physical attacks. If you have younger siblings, bring them along, too. A safe haven might be a friend’s or neighbor’s house or a park near your home. To stop the cycle of abuse, you have to speak out. Doing so can be frightening as you might fear the abuse will get worse if you tell. However, if you say nothing, you can’t get the help you need.  Pull aside an adult you trust, such as a teacher, coach, or school counselor, and tell them what’s happening at home. Most people who work with kids in an official capacity are mandated reporters. This means that they have to call child protective services or the police if they suspect or hear about abuse, and if they don’t, they get in trouble. If you are in the US or Canada, you can also call the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-Child for assistance 24 hours a day.  If you're in the United Kingdom, call 0808 800 5000 to speak to someone anonymously. If your dad is threatening to harm you or someone else in your family, don't hesitate to alert the local police. Never assume he will calm down or that his threats are empty. If you are in a life-threatening situation, call 911 or your local  emergency services number right away. Participating in therapy can help bring to light some of the wounds you have developed due to having an abusive father. It’s a safe place to explore and try to resolve long-buried feelings that are affecting your ability to thrive.  If you are a minor, ask your mom or guardian if you can talk to a therapist. You can also ask your school counselor if there is someone who you can talk to while you’re...

Article in English: If your dark spots persist for several months and home solutions are ineffective, consider seeking a medical solution. Call your primary care doctor and ask them to recommend a dermatologist. You can also find a dermatologist by using the search tool on the website of the American Academy of Dermatology: https://www.aad.org/find-a-derm Call your insurance provider to make sure any dermatological care you’ll need is covered. Ask them if specialist care needs prior approval and if they can provide you with in-network care providers. Tell your dermatologist about your shaving practices, skincare routine, and any products you use. If your underarms are affected, ask the dermatologist about switching your antiperspirant or deodorant. You should also be prepared to discuss your diet, sun exposure and sunscreen use, and any over the counter whitening products you’ve used. Even if you’re sure that your dark spots are the result of shaving, you should work with your doctor and dermatologist to rule out other causes. Getting a complete blood count and discussing your patient history will help your dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.  Common causes of dark spots include ingrown hairs, minor and chronic bacterial infections, and hormonal and dietary imbalances. Your dermatologist will help you understand the best steps to take, whether it’s switching up your shaving routine or changing your diet. Be sure to discuss any existing medical conditions, as they’ll help your dermatologist choose the best course of action. Your dermatologist might prescribe a cream containing either hydroquinone, mequinol, or a retinoid. The type of prescription and its concentration will depend on your skin type. These medications are often classified by as cosmetic, so they may not be covered and can be very expensive. Ask your dermatologist about generic options and confirm your coverage with your insurer to avoid overpaying. Some over the counter treatments contain hydroquinone or retinol, but you should only use them after talking to...

Article in English: If your dehydrator doesn't have a fruit setting, turn it 135° F (57° C). Rinse the figs in cool water, then dry them with a dishcloth. Use a paring knife to remove the stems and cut the figs in quarters on a cutting board. Make sure to leave some room in between the fig pieces so air can circulate around them. The amount of time will depend on the climate in your area as well as the size of the figs. Check them after 8 hours to see if they are dry to the touch, but still pliable and chewy. If so, they're done. Once the figs are done, carefully remove the trays from the dehydrator and place them on a heat-resistant surface. Let them cool completely before storing them.

Article in English: If your diet does not provide at least 1,200 mg of calcium daily, take a supplement. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium can help reduce the effects of bloating.  Foods that are high in calcium include dairy products, kale, oranges, oatmeal, and almonds.  Foods that are high in magnesium include green leafy vegetables, pumpkin and sesame seeds, and fortified cereals. Peppermint has natural pain relief and diuretic properties, so a cup of peppermint tea a few times a day can help reduce bloating.  Additionally, sitting and drinking a nice cup of tea may help relieve stress. Some period relief pills such as Pamprin or Midol contain a mild diuretic to help with PMS symptoms and help your body to eliminate excess water.  They also contain anti-inflammatory medication, which may help with other types of swelling. An over-the-counter diuretic medicine can help your body expel, rather than hold onto, excess fluids. Some foods and drinks act as natural diuretics.  Coconut water, celery, cucumber, grape, and green tea are a few natural diuretics that may help expel retained water. Dandelion, ginger, and juniper may also have diuretic effects. Oral contraceptives, when taken regularly, can help reduce the manifestation of PMS and period symptoms.  Consult your physician for a prescription that is right for you. If you have tried some different things to reduce your bloating and nothing seems to help, then talk to your doctor. Your doctor may be able to recommend some other options to reduce your bloating, such as a low-dose prescription diuretic.

Article in English: If your diet is high in salt, it can contribute to swollen feet. When you have too much salt, your body holds on to it, and in the process, also holds on to extra water, which can contribute to swelling.  In addition to the feet and ankles, your face and hands can also be puffy when eating a high-salt diet. Most processed foods (such as canned foods, frozen dinners, and salad dressings) are high in salt (sodium), so buy more fresh produce and meats from the grocery store and prepare them at home.  Store-bought products especially high in sodium include canned tomato and pasta sauces, soups, salsas, crackers, pickled veggies, lunch meat, and even cheeses. Check the label for the sodium content, and look for words like "low-sodium." Even some fresh meats may be injected with salt and water.  Compare brands. Some brands will have less salt than others.  Your dietary sodium intake should be between 1,500 mg and 2,300 mg per day, depending on your gender and size. Because weight can contribute to swelling, losing weight can help with swelling in your legs. Try changing up your diet so you're eating more fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, while slowing down on empty sugar calories. Incorporating a diet change with an increase in exercise can speed up the process. When you have tight clothing around your thighs, it can limit circulation. Therefore, try to skip garters and other types of clothing that may restrict circulation. Wearing compression stockings can help decrease the fluid in your legs. Basically, it wraps around your leg, giving it the support it needs to keep fluid from pooling there. You can find compression stockings online, at medical supply stores, and sometimes at your pharmacy. If you're having trouble with swollen feet, you probably need a new pair of shoes to help with your treatment. Change to shoes that grip your heel, provide enough room to wiggle your toes, and have good arch support. The best time to try on shoes is in the afternoon, as your feet will be the most swollen...

Article in English: If your doctor agrees that you have a kneecap dislocation, he/she will likely perform a procedure called a “reduction,” which will slide your kneecap back into place.  The doctor will likely give you pain medication before manipulating your knee to minimize the discomfort. Generally he/she will follow this procedure with an x-ray to make sure everything is in the correct place. Again, it’s important to not try this at home as it is difficult to figure out which injuries need surgery or specialized treatments, and further damage can occur if this is not done correctly. If you have a rare type of dislocation or additional injuries, your doctor may need to consult an orthopedic surgeon (a specialist surgeon who treats bony injuries) to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary.

Article in English: If your doctor doesn't have your type on file, then you can also ask to get a blood test done. Call or visit your doctor's office and ask for a blood test to determine your blood type. Try saying something like, "I want to find out what my blood type is. Would it be possible for the doctor to order a blood test to check my blood type?" If you don't have a primary care physician, then you can have a blood test done at a health clinic. Just visit a local health clinic and ask them to test your blood type. You may want to call ahead first to see if this is something that the health clinic offers. This is an easy way to determine your blood type and help other people, all at once! Find a local donation center or wait until your school, church or community center hosts a blood drive. When you go in, ask the staff if they can tell you your blood type. Your blood is typically not tested right away, so it can take up to a few weeks for them to mail or call you with the result. Blood service centers usually provide people with free resources for getting their blood tested and finding out their type. In Canada, go to Canada's official blood website. Find out where the next "What's Your Type?" event is taking place.  These are regular promotional events hosted in the community by Canadian Blood Services.  Your results are instant and you will find out how common or rare your blood type is, who you can receive from, and who you can donate to.  You will learn both your ABO blood group, as well as your positive or negative Rhesus factor.

Article in English: If your doctor has diagnosed you with staph infection and given you antibiotics, your condition should improve within two to three days. If you do not see any improvement, there is a chance that you have MRSA.  Once you are colonized with MRSA it is likely that you can become reinfected more easily.  Keep an eye on your condition, and be prepared to return to your doctor on short notice. Any of these symptoms might indicate a serious infection when coupled with a staph or MRSA diagnosis. The combination may feel similar to flu symptoms. You may also experience some dizziness and confusion. Take your temperature if you think you might be running a fever. A fever of 100.4 or higher is cause for concern. As the infection spreads through your body, it can choke the lungs; inflame your urinary tract; and even begin to eat your flesh. Untreated MRSA can result in necrotizing fasciitis, a rare but horrific flesh-eating disease.  Notice the signs that MRSA has spread to the lungs. If the infection is still undetected and left untreated, there is a risk that it can spread to the lungs. Look out for coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.  A high fever and body chills, possibly accompanied by urinary tract infection, are signs that the MRSA has spread to other organs of the body, such as the kidneys and urinary tract. Necrotizing fasciitis is very rare, but not unheard-of. This may manifest as a severe pain in the infected area. If you think that you're infected with any stage of MRSA, act as quickly as possible before the bacteria eats its way any deeper into your system. Even if you aren't sure: ask a doctor. MRSA can be a serious and life-threatening condition, and it isn't worth it to take any chances. Treatment for community-acquired MRSA is Bactrim and if you are hospitalized it is IV vancomycin.

Article in English: If your doctor has prescribed a fibrate, then this can help to lower your triglycerides. Common fibrates include gemfibrozil and fenofibrate.  Fibrates are carboxylic acids, a type of organic acid made of carbon and oxygen. They are also amphipathic, meaning that they are drawn to both fats and water. These drugs increase HDL levels while decreasing triglyceride levels. They accomplish this by reducing the liver's production of a particle that carries triglycerides. Be aware that fibrates can cause digestive upset and liver irritation, along with gallstones. They are also dangerous to use with blood thinners and may cause muscle damage when used with statins. Your doctor may also prescribe nicotinic acid to lower your triglycerides. The most common nicotinic acid is niacin.  Nicotinic acid is another carboxylic acid. Like fibrates, nicotinic acid reduces the liver's ability to produce triglyceride-carrying particles called VLDL, or very low density lipoproteins. Nicotinic acid raises HDL cholesterol ("good cholesterol") more than many other medications of this type. Consult your doctor prior to using this medication as it can interact with other medications and have dangerous side effects.   Possible severe side effects include difficulty breathing, severe stomach pain, jaundice, and dizziness. Although these are uncommon, they are important to be aware of. Naturally consuming more omega-3 fatty acids can make a difference in triglyceride levels, but high doses of prescription omega-3 supplements can lower triglycerides even more effectively. Ask your doctor about a prescription omega-3 supplement.   Prescription omega-3s usually come in the form of fish oil pills. Only take high doses of omega-3s under the instruction and care of a doctor, as they could interact with other medications.  Too much omega-3 can severely thin out the blood and lower blood pressure. It can also lead to elevated levels of blood sugar and may impair liver function. Mental disorders can also be triggered. The most commonly used...

Article in English: If your dog appears to be itching itself more than normal but you're unsure whether it has sarcoptic mange, this simple test can help. To start, take one of your dog's ears gently in your hand. Hold the loose, floppy part of the ear between your thumb and index finger. If you're worried about the possibility of getting bitten by your dog's mange-causing mites, you may want to wear disposable gloves for this test. Use your thumb and index finger to rub the dog's ear from both sides. Use slow, steady movements and don't squeeze too tightly. While you do this, keep your eyes on the dog's hind leg on the same side as the ear you're rubbing. You're looking for a movement in the dog's hind leg like it's trying to reach up to scratch its ear. If you see this, your dog may have sarcoptic mange. In this case, you should wash your hands and take the dog to a veterinarian at your earliest convenience. This test (called the pinnal-pedal reflex test) works because, in the vast majority of sarcoptic mange cases, mites are present in and around the dog's ears. When you rub the dog's ear, it feels the irritating itching sensation caused by the mites and tries to scratch itself. While the test does confirm your dog is itchy and sensitized, it does not confirm the cause. Sarcoptic mange can be very difficult to definitively diagnose. The pinnal-pedal test may lead to a presumptive diagnosis of scabies, in which case treatment should begin as soon as possible. If your dog responds to the therapy promptly, that is considered confirmation of the diagnosis.

Article in English: If your dog barks compulsively for no reason, or tends to bark when she's left alone (in the yard, for example), she may be engaging in boredom barking. Dogs that bark when left alone may be experiencing separation anxiety, but there are usually other symptoms which accompany that problem, like destructive behavior, bathroom problems, and following you around when you're home. Common signs of compulsive or boredom barking include:  excessive barking in a repetitive pattern  pacing or running back and forth, usually while barking or shortly before/after barking  barking whenever left alone (without other signs of separation anxiety)  barking whenever you stop paying attention to her Exercise and play time are the best remedies for compulsive and boredom barking. While walking your dog is, of course, an important part of getting her exercise (even if you have a fenced-in yard), it may not be enough. Try having your dog run back and forth between two people for 10 to 20 minutes, chase a ball or toy, or take your dog jogging with you before you leave for work.  Giving your dog at least 20 minutes of vigorous exercise each day is important for her physical and mental well being, and may help reduce incidents of problem behavior like boredom barking.  You should also spend some time each day playing with your dog. You can play hide and seek, or just toss a ball around and have her chase or fetch the ball. Learning and practicing tricks is an excellent way to prevent boredom in dogs and discourage compulsive behavior. Tricks require focus, attention, and retention of lessons, which can occupy your dog both physically and mentally. Once your dog has learned a few tricks, have her perform them everyday. This will help her remember the tricks she's learned and also help keep her occupied and engaged. In addition to exercise, leaving distractions around the house is a great way to inhibit problem behaviors like boredom barking. You can use a puzzle toy stuffed with peanut butter, or simply toss a handful of treats in...

Article in English: If your dog becomes anxious during certain situations, like the sound of fireworks or thunder, you could try massaging him to calm his nerves. Starting with your palm lying flat against the top of his head or neck, make light and sweeping motions down to his tail.  Continue these sweeping motions until you see your dog start to relax. Finish the massage by lightly resting one hand at the base of his head and the other on his hips (near his sacrum). These locations represent the parts of the spinal cord that control rest and relaxation responses.  It may help to talk to your dog in a quiet and soothing voice while you are massaging him. If you have an active dog, it is helpful to get him warmed up before intense exercise. Begin by petting him over his entire body for a few minutes. Next, with your palm still facing down, use the heel of your hand (near your wrist) to briskly rub his large muscles (thighs, hips, neck, shoulders).  Do not apply excessive pressure with the heel of your hand. Your dog will likely let you know if you are using too much pressure. After briskly rubbing those muscles, lift them as if you were kneading dough — gently grab the muscles and rub them between your thumb and fingers. To warm up his leg muscles, gently squeeze the muscles at the bottom of each leg and work your way up.  Finish the massage the way you started it—broad strokes across his entire body. Dogs, just like people, can become sore after vigorous physical activity. Giving your dog a massage after exercise can help him recover a little more quickly. If you notice a particular joint that seems to be sore (e.g., hip joint, shoulder joint), begin to pet in that general area to warm it up.  In a rhythmic fashion, gently press down on the muscles around the joint, then release the pressure. This compression improves circulation through the muscles and takes some tension off the tendons around the affected joint.  Make sure not press down directly on the affected joint. If you do by accident, your dog will let you know that...

Article in English: If your dog enjoys going for car rides with you, take this simple step to help keep it safe. Although most humans wouldn't dare jump out of a moving car, your dog might not be so hesitant. Keep the windows rolled up enough to prevent your dog from jumping out during your drive.  You might also wish to purchase a seatbelt designed specifically for your dog, to keep it as safe as can be during any road trips. Consider locking power windows as dogs may accidentally be able to roll them down. Do not leave your dog alone in the car on a hot day with the windows rolled up. This can raise temperatures to a deadly degree for your dog. A common fall hazard for dogs is any open window in your house that it can reach. Even if the window has a screen on it, your dog may still try and escape, which can lead to it suffering a dangerous fall. Any window your dog can reach needs to be kept closed enough so that your dog cannot fit out the window. If your home has potential fall hazards you should prevent your dog from accessing this areas. Keeping your dog away from these potentially dangerous ares will help keep it safe in your home.  Steep stair cases, lofts without a railing, and balconies are some examples of places in your home that your dog may fall from. Make sure to leave doors to these areas closed. You can buy pet-gates to block off staircases or doorways in your home. Never bring your dog into an area of the house that presents a fall hazard. If you notice your dog stumbling and falling without any apparent reason, it should be taken to your veterinarian as soon as possible. This may be a sign of a medical condition that your veterinarian will be able to diagnose and offer treatment options for.  Inner ear issues or ear infections can cause your dog fall down. Brain tumors, which are more common in older dogs, can also be responsible for your dog falling.

Article in English: If your dog has a tendency to chase cats in your neighborhood, it's best to keep your dog on a leash during walks. If you feel inclined to let your dog off-leash during walks, you should do so only in places where you know there will be no cats around, such as a dog park or a quiet place away from other homes. You should also try to only let your dog off-leash at the park during times when you know there will be no cats around. Remember that cats are most active at dusk and dawn, as they often come out to hunt during the night.  Use the "leave it" method on your dog during walks. Even though your dog is on a leash, he may still try to run and pull on the leash whenever he sees a cat. Teaching him to leave it when he sees a cat will help take the stress out of walking your dog in a cat-friendly neighborhood.  If your dog pulls hard or barks while on his leash, he may have what's known as leash aggression. Put simply, he perceives that you're anxious about how he'll react to an animal, and he assumes that animal is a threat. To train your dog out of this, practice getting your dog's attention no matter what is happening around you. Reward him when he keeps his eyes on you. Start out in a low-stress environment, such as your home, and gradually work toward keeping your dog focused on you (and on the treat he'll come to expect) no matter what other animals are around on your walk.  Another crucial skill to teach your dog if you plan to let him roam off-leash is to come when called. Try teaching your dog to come while you run away from him, as he will almost inevitably chase after you. This will make it easier for him to learn this command early on in his training, as he will associate your praise with his following after you. Reward him with treats and praise whenever he comes on command. If you have a yard at your home and you'd like to let your dog run freely in the yard, be sure that you either erect a fence around your property, or use a tether and leash to keep your dog from leaving your yard. This will help...

Article in English: If your dog has just experienced a traumatic event, take a moment to assess your dog. If your dog has more serious injuries, then you will need to address these first before dealing with the broken leg. If the injury occurred on a road, move the dog to a safe place and then administer emergency first aid. Some things to look for include:  Whether or not your dog is alert. If your dog is unconscious, then he may have a head injury. Whether or not your dog can take full breaths. The color of their gums. They should be pink. If they are very pale, muddy, or blueish in color, then your dog is not getting enough oxygen and needs immediate veterinary attention. Strong, synchronous pulses. Feel for the heart beating on the lower chest, near the elbow joint. The femoral pulse is also easy to feel on the inside surface of the thigh, in the middle of the leg. If you cannot find a strong regular pulse, then seek immediate veterinary attention for your dog. If you see your dog limping, take a look to see which leg is injured. Do a slow, careful examination of the injured leg. The broken leg could be really obvious, such as an exposed, open fracture. In this case, you’ll need to keep the wound clean. If it is a closed fracture, your dog may be limping but there may not be any blood or obvious wound. Whatever type of break, you’ll need to apply first aid and get your dog to the veterinary hospital right away!  Apply pressure if you notice that the limb is bleeding. Since injured dogs can be fearful and aggressive, you’ll need to be careful. Signs of aggression include growling, snapping, snarling, and rigidness. To avoid getting bitten, don’t put your hands or face close to the injured dog, especially if it is already agitated. To help keep your dog calm, place a light towel or cloth over their head. This will help to limit light and sound, which may help to keep your dog calm. If you need to move the dog away from the place where the accident occurred, you can use a towel sling to support some of their weight. Wrap a...

Article in English: If your dog is aggressive or even if he bites for no apparent reason, you must get immediate control of him. Use a harness, muzzle, or head halter to prevent him from further biting. Don't let your dog go outside the house without being on a leash and unless he's accompanied by a responsible adult holding the handle. You should never leave a dog that bites alone with children. In fact, your dog shouldn't be around children outside the immediate household until his biting is stopped. Once you've gotten control of your dog, you need to take him to the vet for an exam and behavioral consultation. Your vet may find that the dog is suffering from a medical condition (like brain dysfunction from stroke or old age) or is in pain (from arthritis or an injury). If your vet determines a cause for the grumpiness and biting, treatment may be recommended that can stop the biting. If there's no medical explanation for the biting, ask your veterinarian to determine if the dog may be acting out of fear or because he's defending his belongings. Your vet may be able to recommend an animal behavioral specialist. The specialist can work with your dog to make sure he's properly trained. Working with a professional trainer is especially important if there was a human injury involved, since you most likely will not be able to correct the biting behavior on your own. Make sure the professional you work with has been certified to work with aggressive animals. Look for a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB or ACAAB), a veterinary behaviorist (Dip ACVB) or a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) in your area.

Article in English: If your dog is hungry or left out in the yard all day every day, she will probably bark. No amount of training or behavioral techniques will subdue her need for food and comfort. Make sure your dog always has plenty of cool, clean water to drink any time she needs it, two to three nutritious meals each day, and access to the inside of your home. Sometimes barking is your dog's way of indicating to you that she is injured or sick. If there is a chance that your dog might have some medical problem or injury, you should take her to see a vet as soon as possible. Teaching your dog the "quiet" command is an excellent training technique. It will be useful for any kind of problem barking, though it may be the only option for certain behavioral problems like territorial alarm barking.  Any time your dog starts barking unnecessarily, hold up a treat to distract her from the perceived intruder.  Once your dog has stopped barking, say the word "quiet" and give her the treat.  Gradually lengthen the duration of time she must be quiet before getting the treat. Eventually, she should reach a point where simply saying the word "quiet" without showing her a treat will elicit a silent response. Exercise is a great way to curb problem behavior, including excessive barking. Whether your dog is anxious, territorial, or simply bored, getting a good workout will probably help reduce the frequency and intensity of her problem barking. Depending on your dog's age and physical abilities, you can exercise her in a number of ways. Long walks are good for older dogs, while younger dogs might enjoy going jogging with you, chasing a ball for a game of fetch, playing tug-of-war, or other interactive toys. If your dog has barking problems whenever she sees or hears something outside, a simple solution might be to block her access to seeing or hearing that trigger. If she stands at the window and barks, try putting up curtains or blinds so she can't see passing people or animals. If the sounds she hears outside tend to set her off, try...

Article in English: If your dog is suffering from any kind of neck pain, a collar may cause too much strain and discomfort on his neck and spine. A harness can be a useful alternative, as it spreads pressure over his chest and does not put any strain on your dog's neck. Avoid using a collar, and opt for unleashed, fenced-in yard time whenever possible instead of walking your dog on a leash. Heat therapy is a useful tool in relieving mild neck discomfort, especially in dogs with arthritis. Follow the directions bag's packaging and heat for the appropriate time. Then speak calmly to the dog, encourage him to lie down, and place the bag over his neck for a period of five to ten minutes at a time. If your dog is suffering from neck pain, he may have a hard time lowering his head to eat and drink out of his bowl if you keep it on the floor. Keep your dog's bowl elevated to a height that allows him to eat and drink without having to bend and stoop. It is important when managing neck pain to be alert for any deterioration in the dog's mobility. Neck pain is often a warning sign of other impending health problems, so it's important to determine and treat the cause of the pain, rather than just the pain itself. Any dog with neck pain should be rested as movement is likely to make the pain worse. If the dog has other symptoms, such as if he goes off his food, then a vet check is essential.
