Article in English: If you have a room (or rooms) that are going unused in your house, consider furnishing them and renting them out to tenants. If you do so, be sure to abide by the laws that govern landlords in your local area with regards to rent levels, amenities, and the like. Doing this allows you to collect a sizable check every month without any work beyond preparing the room for occupancy.  The more private the room, the more you will be able to charge for rent. If you have a separate basement apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom, you will be able to charge much more than you would if you only have a spare bedroom. Only rent rooms to responsible, trustworthy tenants who will pay you on time and respect your property. It's a good idea to screen your tenants by performing background and credit checks, as well as asking them to provide a reference from a previous landlord and a copy of a recent pay stub. Services such as Airbnb can help connect you with travelers and others looking for short-term rentals. This can enable you to charge a significantly higher rate per night than if you rent the room by the month. There are tons of ways to make money on the internet nowadays, but most of them require at least a little bit of work. If you commit yourself to developing your brand, you might really hit it big.  Start a website or  blog. If your site becomes popular and gains a lot of traffic, you can make a lot of money by selling advertising space. If writing isn't your thing, you can also create video content. If you are knowledgeable about any topic whatsoever, you can try selling informative content, like ebooks, webinars, or instructional videos. Whether you can teach people about mathematics, juggling, or a foreign language, chances are you can think of something useful to share! If you're willing to do more traditional work, you can also make money online by freelance writing or becoming a virtual assistant. Try searching online for job boards that are devoted to freelance and/or telecommuting work. If you're willing...

Article in English: If you have a sarcastic comment you can deploy in many different situations, practice it regularly on different people to memorize it.  For instance, when someone asks a common question like, “What’s up?” you might reply with “The sky.”  The frequency with which you should practice your sarcastic comments depends on the strength of your memory.  If you can memorize the sarcastic comment after practicing it two or three times daily, there’s no need to practice it more than that. If you need to practice your sarcastic comment more often before you can memorize it, do so. If your comment regularly gets eye-rolls, don’t use it anymore or use it less often.  If you have a go-to sarcastic comment that seems to be a big hit, work it into regular use. Remember, even good sarcasm can be overused. The best sarcastic answers or comments will draw on your deep knowledge of your audience and their preferences, attitudes, and beliefs.  Think carefully about how you can work your immediate situation and the conversation of others into a clever, sarcastic comment. For instance, imagine you and your friend Joe are big fans of the Hulk.  If Joe accidentally breaks a bunch of fragile dishes, you might say sarcastically, “You saved the day again, Hulk!” Spending time listening to people who are well-practiced in sarcasm will help you be more sarcastic, too.  Pay attention to when and how they utilize sarcasm.  Listen to the inflection in their voice and the facial expressions they use when being sarcastic. Being sarcastic takes time, focus, and experience.  As you exercise your sarcasm “muscles,” you will become better at being sarcastic.  Keep trying to use sarcasm, even if you tell a few jokes that others think are not very funny.

Article in English: If you have a serious skin irritation, you should see your doctor before trying to treat the irritation yourself. Your doctor may give you specific directions about how to use calamine lotion. You should follow these instructions. Your bottle of calamine lotion will have directions on the side that will tell you how best to use it. Consult these and follow them as closely as possible. You can veer from these directions, though, if your doctor gives you different instructions. Occasionally, calamine lotion can cause further skin irritation. Do not continue to use it if it irritates your skin in any way. Contact your doctor if it causes painful or persistent irritation. Calamine lotion will not always completely relieve skin irritations. If it has not helped improve your condition after a week, consult a doctor to learn about different treatment options.

Article in English: If you have a severe sore throat without a cough and white exudate on your tonsils, you should definitely book an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible. A sore throat that presents in this way is likely to be caused by Group A Strep. Your doctor will perform diagnostic tests to confirm it and will offer you treatment as needed. If your doctor agrees that your sore throat is worrisome for Group A Strep, she will perform a throat swab right then and there in the office. It is a procedure that does not take more than a few minutes. A sample is taken from the back of your throat and sent into the lab to test for the presence of streptococcal bacteria. If the test comes back positive, you will need to proceed with antibiotic treatment. Your doctor will perform a physical exam to evaluate the rash and the potential signs of scarlet fever in more detail. If enough signs and symptoms are present, he will offer you immediate antibiotic treatment.

Article in English: If you have a severely curved back or spine and you find it difficult to stand up straight, consider talking to your doctor. You may have scoliosis or a number of other spinal-related issues.Your doctor may ask you to wear a back brace. Only in the most extreme cases will the doctor recommend spinal surgery. There are many other methods of improving back pain. Egoscue professionals specialize in posture therapy. He will focus on your symptoms (if any), your posture, your gait, and a range of other issues. He'll teach you how to stretch your back — focusing on your problem areas. He'll then create an exercise and stretching regiment that you can do at home.  Most of these exercises will be geared towards increasing your range of motion in your hips and elongating your spine, releasing any tension compacted along your spinal column.  If your problem is less severe, consider just working with a personal trainer. Tell your trainer that you want to focus on those muscles that lead to better posture (primarily your lateral muscles). They'll show you sets of general exercises and stretches to improve your posture. He'll take a series of x-ray images of your back and spine. Afterwards, he'll be able to measure the exact curvature of your spine to indicate if you have a serious issue. Your chiropractor may also be able to examine your individual vertebrae for malformations, slips, or misalignments. Many of these issues can be treated in office, but if your chiropractor discovers a more serious issue, he'll refer to you a specialist. Stress and constant tension can lead to tight back muscles, and therefore a hunched back. If you lead a stressful life, consider working regular massages into your daily life. Alternatively, sitting in a massage chair regularly will relieve stress, but it won't be able to give you the specialized tension in those areas that require it most like a trained masseuse would be able to do.

Pick one fabric for the cover and the another fabric for the flaps on the inside of the cover. You can choose a combination of a print and a solid color fabric, two print fabrics, or two different colored solid fabrics.  You should prewash your fabric to prevent it from shrinking. Iron the fabric before you use it as well. You will need less fabric for the inside of the cover and more for the outside.

Article in English: If you have a shark tooth that’s flat and in the shape of a wide triangle, then you may have a white shark tooth on your hands.  There should be coarse serrations along the blade of the tooth and it should also be about 1.5–2.5 inches (3.8–6.4 cm) long. Tiger shark teeth blades are only about as long as their roots. They can also be identified by the sharp serrations on the shoulders of their blades and also by how deeply-notched their blades typically are. Tiger shark teeth are typically about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, but they can sometimes be as long as 1.5–2 inches (3.8–5.1 cm). Bull shark teeth have blades that are flat and broad with a narrow apex. These teeth are usually 1 inch (2.5 cm) long or slightly shorter. While there are serrations along the entire blade, they get smaller and smaller further down the blade. Lemon shark teeth have no serrations and the blade is angled to the side very slightly. Lemon shark teeth blades are also flat and narrow. The average length for lemon shark teeth is about 0.75 inches (1.9 cm). Sand tiger shark teeth have extremely narrow blades that are free of serrations and typically measure about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length. This makes them relatively easy to identify. They also have very high cusps. A megalodon is a type of shark that has been extinct for thousands of years, but it’s remembered for its massive size. You can typically identify this type of tooth by its size alone because it’s so much bigger than other shark teeth, as megalodon teeth typically range from 3.5–7 inches (8.9–17.8 cm) long. You can also identify these by their finely serrated blades and the thin black line that’s located between the blade and the root of the tooth. Shark teeth from different species tend to stand apart from each other in these ways. The shape of the tooth is often the most telling, as most species have a uniquely angled blade, shaped cusp, or serration quality that identifies it as that particular species. If you think a tooth could’ve come from 1 of 2 possible species, measure its...

Article in English: If you have a shirt that you love and it has a lot of holes, consider using a creative fix to make it usable and unique. For example, you could embellish the hole by embroidering around it. Stitches all around the hole will stabilize the fabric and add a creative touch. You can also put an applique over the hole. Putting a decorative patch over the hole, instead of trying to match the existing fabric, can add a bit of fun to an otherwise subdued shirt. If you do not know how to sew or you just don't want to, there are still options for fixing your shirt. There are a variety of glue products that are made to glue fabric together and these can be used on your shirt. In fact, if the hole in your shirt is on a seam or in a spot that is not visible, using glue may be the quickest and easiest fix.  Go to your local craft or sewing store and look for products made to glue fabric to fabric. Depending on the product that you use, it may discolor the area you are gluing. It may also make the area less soft and flexible. Follow the directions that come on the glue you buy when fixing your shirt. Different glues have different drying times and techniques for application, so it's important to follow your product's specific instructions. There may be a point when a shirt has too many holes to make it look presentable or to have it be functional. If your shirt is in tatters or has numerous holes, consider letting it go and turning it into a fun project. If you really love a shirt because of its fabric or because of sentimental reasons, consider using the shirt's fabric to make a quilt or other keepsake item. That way the fabric can continue to be used, just in a different form. If your shirt has a large hole or you're worried about ruining it by attempting to fix it yourself, take it to a tailor to have it fixed. A professional tailor will likely be able to fix holes so that they are practically invisible to the eye.  When you take your shirt in to be repaired, talk to the person about your expectations and ask them what...

Article in English: If you have a short, one-time cartoon, or if you are trying to gain a name for yourself on your own, you can add your new cartoon to your digital portfolio and upload a copy to a personal blog, social media account, or video website. If you created a pilot episode for a cartoon at home, you can spread word for it through either route. If accepted, you will need to figure out your new production schedule for future cartoons so that you can get to work all over again.  A distribution company will review your pilot episode and determine how marketable it might be. If they decide to represent your cartoon, you will be given a distribution plan and revenue projection. Ask for a formal letter of interest at this point and show the letter to potential investors to let them know that a distributor will be willing to represent your cartoon. If you go directly to an animation company or TV station with your pilot episode, they might be willing to accept and distribute it directly, especially if they have empty time slots to fill.

Article in English: If you have a significant amount of paint left, you can return it to the original can; remember, however, that the amount you return to the can has already been thinned, meaning the next time you use it, you may need to adjust the amount of thinner used. Epoxy paints and paints that use a catalyst (two-part paints) cannot be returned to the original can; they must be used entirely or disposed of properly once mixed. Wipe off/out any excess paint. If there is too much paint left in the cup or the spray assembly, you may have to repeat this step a few times. Do this as soon as the paint job has dried; leaving the tape on the surface for an extended period will allow the adhesive to set, making it difficult to remove.

Many people also prefer to roll all of their clothes when packing suitcases, as it makes it easy to select outfits quickly. The downside of rolling is that it can leave polo shirts a bit wrinkled. Address this problem by giving yourself some time to steam a shirt after unrolling it.

Article in English: If you have a small problem area, like a mosquito bite or slight sunburn, the antioxidants in old teabags can potentially help you heal faster. The epigallocatechin-3-gallate or ECGC found in tea is also an anti-inflammatory. Polyphenols reduce redness, and tannins and theobromine reduce pain.  Apply a wet used teabag to the problem area and let sit until dry to benefit from these particular properties. If you are not yet satisfied with the results, you can re-wet the teabag and use it again in the exact same way. Injuries or problem areas for which this is potentially helpful include blisters, razor burn, sunburn, poison ivy, recent injection sites, acne, plantar warts, bruises, cold sores, bug stings or bites and even gums which are still bleeding from a lost baby tooth. The caffeine found in tea can help shrink blood vessels around your eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles, while the tannins help to improve your circulation. Refrigerate the used teabags for 20 minutes; the cooler temperature of the teabags will help reduce swelling. Make sure they are still damp, but not soaking wet, and apply them to your eyes for 15-20 minutes. Add a couple of lavender, peppermint, or chamomile teabags to a hot foot soak or face-steaming bowl and the antioxidants will soften your skin while the enticing aromas help deal with any problematic odors in the area.  You can experience a similar effect over your entire body by adding a couple more of them to an entire bathtub full of hot water. This can also improve the health of your hair and scalp by way of antioxidants and vitamins, like vitamins C and E. Picking a smell that you particularly enjoy can have aroma-therapeutic effects to boot.

Article in English: If you have a sore that has developed, reposition the body and make sure you stay off that sore spot for at least 2-3 days. If the sore does not go away, check with your doctor to consider additional treatment options. If you are confined to a bed or wheelchair, you need to reposition your body frequently throughout the day to relieve existing pressure on sores and to prevent bedsores from developing. Reposition the body every 2 hours in a bed or every hour in a wheelchair. This will relieve pressure that builds up on certain areas, which will help bedsores from getting worse. If you're in a wheelchair, you might use cushions to change your position. The cushions can prop you up at different angles to redistribute your weight onto another pressure point. Additionally, it's best for you to spend some time everyday lying in your bed or on the couch to minimize your time in the same position. Even though someone who is bed bound or wheelchair-bound may not be very active, their body can still be moved around. This will prevent pressure from building up in certain areas and will increase blood flow through the body. Activity can also improve mental health, a crucial component in maintaining your overall health. The key to reducing risk of bedsores is to reduce pressure that builds up on particular parts of the body. Use special cushions that are made of foam or filled with air or water can be useful. Similarly, protective padding may help, especially between knees or under the head or elbows. Some support products such as doughnut-type products might actually increase the risk of developing bedsores. You can avoid this by switching out what type of product you are using to change up your pressure points. Check with your doctor to determine which products are best for you. Bedsores develop in part from inadequate blood flow to the skin areas. When pressure is applied to the skin, blood vessels are restricted from doing their job. Maintain good blood flow by drinking lots of water, not smoking, and repositioning...

Article in English: If you have a spider infestation in your home, basic spider killer sprays can be purchased to treat the infection. These are usually used outside the home. You spray the perimeters of your home, as well as any cracks or crevices spiders may use to enter your house.  Choose a spray at a local department store. You should know the basic build of your home before going in so you know what sprays are safe for your house. Go around the perimeter of your home. Spray around the house's foundation. Also, look for potential entryways for spiders. Pay special attention to cracks in windowsills and garage entryways.  Specifics regarding safe use depend on the type of spray you're using. The bottle or package should provide safety instructions. Always read these carefully before using any spider sprays. If you're wary about using chemicals around your home, essential oils can help. Try creating a mixture using essential oils and see if you notice a difference.  Spiders tend to dislike the taste of essential oils. You can purchase essential oils online or at a local health store. For best effect, use neem oil and tea tree oil.  Mix about two tablespoons of dish soap into warm water. Then, add 5 drops of tea tree oil and an ounce of neem oil.  Sprinkle this mixture around your home in areas where you've noticed spiders. Be careful, however. Make sure you do not leave the spray close to children or pets. Tea tree oil can be harmful if swallowed. There are a variety of insecticides you can use to ward off spiders. Stop by your local hardware store and review your options.  Dust insecticides are best used if you're treating cracks and crevices. They can be easily applied to hard-to-reach places in your home.  Powder insecticides work best for spot treatment. If you've only seen spiders in a few spots in your home, consider a powder insecticide.  If you're trying to create a boundary around your home, look into a liquid insecticide. They are usually mixed with water and then used to cover large areas around the home.  As...

Article in English: If you have a stain that is dry or set-in, you need to pre-treat the fabric. Using a laundry stain remover, spray your fabric with enough liquid to saturate the fabric. Let the stain remover sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water. If the stain is still there, treat the fabric again. Wash the fabric in cold water with an enzyme-based detergent, such as Arm & Hammer, Gain or Tide.  If the stain is not removed when you wash the fabric, you need to treat it again before you dry it. Drying the fabric will cook in the blood stain. You can buy stain removers in most grocery stores' laundry sections. Try Resolve Spray & Wash or OxyClean Max Force laundry stain remover. You don't have to rely on just pre-treatment options. After you treat a stain once with pre-treatment remover, dilute 1 tablespoon of ammonia in 1 cup of water. Dab the stain with a cotton swab or cotton ball soaked in the diluted ammonia. Keep changing the cotton swabs or balls whenever they get saturated with blood residue. You don't want to rub the stain back into the fabric. Let the ammonia solution sit on the fabric for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Wash the fabric in cold water.  You can place paper towels behind the fabric you are treating to keep the stain from running onto the fabric behind the stained portion. Paper towels also help absorb the diluted ammonia as you apply it.  Do not put ammonia directly onto the fabric. It could discolor the fabric or break down the fabric's fibers. If a stain is persistent, you can try unseasoned meat tenderizer on the stain. First, soak your fabric in cold water for several hours. This loosens the stain and helps soften the fabric. Next, mix 1 tablespoon of unseasoned meat tenderizer, such as McCormick's, with 2 teaspoons of water to make a paste. Rub the paste into the blood stain with your fingers. Allow the paste to sit on the stain for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the excess paste and wash your item in cold water. Before you apply the meat tenderizer, you can also run your fabric through a cold wash with...

Simply let baking soda and water/vinegar sit overnight and wipe down in the morning.  Remove grates if possible on a gas stove. Also note that you want to avoid allowing baking soda and water to drip down into the ignition area, so keep baking soda to a paste and apply carefully on gas stoves. Remember to wipe down the cooking surface thoroughly with a clean damp cloth once the baking soda and grime is removed, then let dry. A glass-top electric stove will smoke easily from any baking soda residue or other moisture when it is turned on.

Article in English: If you have a stress response syndrome, you may be at a higher risk for suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors. If you are concerned about your safety, call emergency services. You may also dial a suicide hotline or phone a friend or family member to talk to and help you.   Take any suicidal thoughts or behaviors seriously. For more information, check out How to Recognize the Warning Signs of Suicide. If you suspect that you have a stress response syndrome, avoid using any substances. You may be at a higher risk for substance use or abuse. When dealing with stress, using drugs, alcohol, and other mind-altering substances is not a healthy way to cope. When experiencing severe stress, stay away from all substances, as they can cause more damage in the long-run. Avoid taking pills or painkillers if they are not prescribed to you at this time. Stress response syndrome can prolong any existing medical problems or disorders. It can also interfere with medical treatment. If you have a health condition, make sure you receive adequate treatment and keep up with medications, visits to your medical provider, and any necessary care you may need.  This can help ensure that your illness is not prolonged. If the stress response syndrome does not decrease, a therapist or psychologist may evaluate you for another disorder. For example, if your symptoms persist, your therapist may assess you for major depressive disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or another diagnosis that best suits your symptoms. Having a proper diagnosis aids treatment and guides the path of recovery.   For instance, if you develop nightmares related to the stressor or experience flashbacks, you may receive treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Article in English: If you have a strict work schedule, you might not want to risk suddenly waking up without any assistance, especially if you are not getting the recommended 7-10 hours of sleep a night. Instead, try waking up without an alarm clock on the weekends. You might have to sacrifice sleeping in later on the weekends. If you have an extended period of time off for a vacation or a holiday, this is also an ideal time to adjust to life without an alarm clock. You might currently wake up with a loud, clanging alarm that sounds like a jarring buzzer. Instead, consider an alarm that sounds more natural, such as the sounds of a forest or a rainstorm. If you live on a busy street, you might also want to find an alarm that mimics the sounds of the environment around you, like passing traffic. By looking at your phone's screen just before you got to sleep, you are delaying your body's release of melatonin, a hormone necessary for keeping your circadian rhythms on schedule.  Put any phones or tablets away and keep them out of reach should you wake up in the middle of the night.  If you have to rely on your phone or tablet for your alarm, set the alarm a few hours before your bedtime so you are not tempted to look at the screen in bed. If you currently are using the snooze button when you wake up, you should stop. When you use the snooze button to continually stop and start your sleep cycle, you are fragmenting your circadian rhythms. When your sleep cycle is frequently disrupted, this creates a condition called sleep inertia.

Article in English: If you have a stubborn plug of earwax that can’t be coaxed out with mineral oil, you can try flushing it out at home.  This is often how doctors do the job, but they have specialized tools and training.  Don’t squirt excessive amounts of liquid into your ear, or with excess pressure, or you may damage your eardrum. This is the type of gadget used to clean out a baby’s nose.  Make sure the liquid is at body temperature. Squeeze the bulb, place the tip down into the liquid, and loosen your squeeze; the liquid will draw up into the bulb. Place the bulb just inside the rim of your ear canal but never any further into the ear.  Hold your head upright, but slightly tilted to that side so the liquid can drain out.  Stop immediately if you feel pain.  See your doctor instead. You may want to try to soften and loosen the earwax with mineral oil before attempting this method.

Article in English: If you have a table, dresser, or desk that you don’t want anymore, take it out of your room. Quickly look around for any other obvious objects that don’t belong or that you no longer want.  Your bedroom should be a place focused on sleeping. Too much extra stuff in it can not only make it more cramped and cluttered, but also affect how well you sleep. Removing extra furniture and items will also help you focus on the things you need to clean and organize. You should have 3 sorting categories: throw away, keep, and donate. Grab your cleaning supplies as well so you have everything nearby.  Depending on how dirty your room is, you may need 1 to 3 trash bags. You should have a duster and wipes no matter what. Use a vacuum if you have carpet, and a mop and/or wet Swiffer if you have hardwood. If you have a mirror, get some glass cleaner and old rags. Listen to your favorite music that you can sing along with and/or dance along to while you work. Listening to your favorite music will help keep you focused and make cleaning and organizing more enjoyable. For example, you can cha cha across the room to pick something up or slide around in your socks. Pick up everything off of your floor that doesn’t belong there. This means anything that isn’t a piece of furniture or decoration.  Gather your dirty clothes into your hamper and then, before you continue to clean, throw your dirty clothes in the wash. Also, throw your sheets, linens, and bath towels in the laundry. If you don’t have a hamper, you can use a trash bag to transport your clothes. Once you’ve picked up loose clothes and obvious trash, move everything else into a central location. This will help you focus on the next task of getting rid of junk. Gathering everything in one spot will give you a clear idea of how much you have and allow you to start getting rid of things you don’t need. Make separate piles for trash, donating, and stuff that you use or that you want to keep. It’s a good idea to get 3 bins or bags to sort your items.  Throw all your trash in...

Article in English: If you have a tapeworm infection, you may see the worms in the bathroom after a bowel action or on the inner part of your underwear. If you find tapeworms in either of these areas, contact a doctor right away. Tapeworms look like:  Small pieces of thread. Whitish color. If you are concerned that you have tapeworms, look at your eyes and skin in the mirror. Tapeworms can cause you to have an iron deficiency because they feed on your blood, which in turn lowers your blood levels. When your blood levels get reduced, you make notice that your skin and coloring of your eyes has become paler. Because tapeworms can lower your blood levels, you can also become anemic. Signs of anemia include an unusually rapid heartbeat, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, and challenges with concentration. Tapeworms can obstruct the openings and tubes in your intestines, and in the intestinal wall. When your intestines become blocked, you can begin to feel abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The abdominal pain is normally felt just above the stomach. Tapeworms can make invade and inflame the lining of your small intestine, which in turn stimulates the intestine’s lining to secrete fluid. When excess fluid is secreted, your body has a harder time absorbing the extra fluid, which can lead to you having diarrhea. This condition is very rare and generally only occurs in people who have been infected by fish tapeworms. Fish tapeworms consume so much vitamin B12 from your body that they can induce a condition known as megaloblastic anemia. The resulting low red blood cell count can cause:  Dizziness. Memory loss. Dementia.

Article in English: If you have a tendency to lose or break your expensive belongings, your parents probably won't be eager to "waste" more money on an expensive iPhone. You need to devote several weeks or even months to turning things around before you make your request. If you already have a phone, keep careful track of it. If you are constantly losing it, your parents will remember that when you ask them to upgrade you to a more expensive model. Take care of your other electronic devices too, such as your gaming systems, iPods, tablets, and/or computer. Keep them clean, organized, and well-protected. For example, always carry your laptop in its protective sleeve, never eat or drink around it, etc. You should also be careful with your jewelry, watches, and other expensive accessories. If you recently lost the pricey earrings you received for Christmas, for example, your parents may take that as evidence that you shouldn't be trusted with something else (like an iPhone!). Your parents will notice if you have been doing your chores regularly without them having to nag you. This will go a long way when it comes time for you to convince them that you deserve an iPhone. By completing your chores quickly and without complaint—and perhaps even by being willing to do more chores—you are showing your parents that you take your responsibilities seriously and that you care about helping out. While an iPhone can be a helpful tool for school (more on that later), your parents may be worried that it will distract you from your studies. Before you talk to your parents about getting an iPhone, take a careful, honest look at your grades. If they are weak, then you should take the rest of the term (or an additional term) to bring them up into an acceptable range. Meet with your instructors to get feedback on your strengths and weaknesses and to make a plan about how to get your grades up. You may be able to get free tutoring through your school, but even if you (or your parents) have to pay for it, it will be money well-spent: You'll be able to...

Article in English: If you have a tendency to shout when you’re mad, you are likely an “emotional communicator.” This means that you may tend to speak or act based on feelings and instincts, rather than reasoning things out. Taking a few moments to consider what you want to say can help you evaluate your reactions and communicate more calmly. Extend goodwill to the other person and apologize. Communicate that you realize you shouldn't have yelled and would like to discuss the matter more civilly moving forward. Ensure your tone and volume don't creep back into shouting territory by using a very quiet, “indoor" voice or a whisper. Speak as though you are in a library. If you are talking to your children, get in the habit of whispering or using a hushed voice when you are mad. Whispering has a double-purpose: it helps you keep your voice at an appropriate volume and it ensures that the other person will be fully tuned in so they can figure out what you're saying. Some of the words you use while communicating can actually make you even more angry. Drop absolute terms like “always,” “never,” “should,” or “must.” These words spark conflict because they are judgmental, accusatory, and leave little wiggle room.

Article in English: If you have a top-loading machine, you can pour the vinegar directly into the drum, or you can add it to the fabric softener dispenser if you have a front-loading washer. The vinegar will help break up any detergent or minerals left behind by hard water, so your clothes will look brighter. The vinegar will also prevent this buildup in the first place, so it’s a great way to keep your clothes color-fast while they’re still new. Place your faded clothes into your washing machine, add laundry detergent, and turn on the machine. In many cases, soaking your clothes in vinegar then washing them is all it will take to get them looking brighter. Choose the cycle that’s appropriate for the clothes you’re brightening. For instance, if you’re washing items made from a delicate material like silk or lace, you’d want to use a gentle wash. For more durable fabrics like cotton or denim, a normal wash is fine. The vinegar will wash out of your clothing during the rinse cycle, so your laundry shouldn’t smell like vinegar when it comes out of the wash. You can either hang the clothes to dry or place them in the dryer, depending on the instructions on the care label or how you normally prefer to dry your clothes.  If a little of the smell does linger, either hang the item to dry outside or put a fabric softener sheet in the dryer. The smell should be gone by the time it's dry. If your clothes still look faded, the dye might have washed out, so you may need to dye the clothes instead.

Article in English: If you have a top-loading washing machine, lift up the lid as if you were going to start a new load of laundry. The fabric-softener dispenser is usually located right under the lid, in one of the corners. The fabric softener dispenser is usually located next to the detergent dispenser and the bleach dispenser, depending on the structure of your washing machine. If you’re struggling to find the dispenser’s location, check your washing machine’s manual. It should have a layout showing the location of all parts of the machine. If you have a front-loading washing machine, you’ll need to look on top of the machine to access the softener dispenser. Most front-loading machines have a drawer or slot for fabric softener under a lid on top of the machine, next to the drawers for laundry detergent and bleach. If you can’t find the fabric softener dispenser there, it may be located just inside of the main door. As with a top-loading machine, if you can’t find the fabric softener dispenser, check the washing machine manual for a display showing the location of the dispenser. Some washing machines have removable fabric softener dispensers, while others feature a non-removable dispenser. If yours is removable, reach in and gently pull the dispenser out of the washing machine. This will make the dispenser easier to clean. Since it may be clogged, the fabric softener dispenser will likely be gunky and covered with soap and fabric softener. If your washing machine features a non-removable dispenser, it can still be cleaned while lodged within the laundry machine.

Article in English: If you have a top-oven broiler, move the top rack so that it's 3 to 5 in (7.6 to 12.7 cm) from the broiler. Turn the broiler on to hi and let it heat for about 10 minutes. Generously salt and pepper both sides of your pork loin steaks. You could also sprinkle them with:  Ground fennel Garlic powder Onion powder Ground cumin Cover a baking or roasting pan with foil so that it's easier to clean up. Set the seasoned pork loin steaks on the foil and place the pan under the broiler. Broil the steaks for 6 to 8 minutes. Keep in mind that thinner steaks will cook quicker while thicker steaks may take longer. If your steaks are more than 1 1⁄2 in (3.8 cm) thick, consider broiling them 4 to 5 in (10 to 13 cm) away from the heat source. This will prevent the outside from burning before the inside has a chance to cook. Carefully use tongs to flip the pork loin steaks over on the baking pan. Place the steaks back under the broiler and continue to broil them for another 6 to 8 minutes or until the steaks are golden brown. Remember to wear oven mitts and use caution when pulling the baking pan out of the oven. Once the pork loin steaks have browned on both sides, remove the pan and check the internal temperature of the steaks. The steaks should be between 145 and 160 °F (63 and 71 °C) before you let them rest. Let them rest for 5 minutes before you serve them. Resting the steaks helps relax the muscle so the juices evenly distribute.

Article in English: If you have a very small dog, you can bathe him in a laundry or kitchen sink. You can bathe larger dogs in showers or bathtubs. If it’s not too cold outside, you can even bathe your dog outside.  If you bathe your dog in a bathtub or sink, the bottom will get slippery when it’s wet. To help calm your dog and give him traction, put a towel on the bottom of the tub or sink. You can also use a rubber bath mat or nonslip adhesive pads.  Choose a confined location, if possible. Your dog may get anxious or upset during his bath and try to escape. Shut the bathroom door if you use the bathtub. If you’re washing your dog outside, make sure to do it in a fenced area so your dog can’t run away. If your dog’s nails need trimming,  trim them before you give him a bath. This will help keep him from accidentally scratching you if he gets agitated or fussy. Once you start the washing process, you’ll want to have everything you need close to hand. You will need towels, cotton balls, dog shampoo, treats, and a washcloth or sponge. If you don’t have a hose or detachable showerhead, you will need a bucket or other vessel for rinsing.  Uncap your shampoos and other bottles so that you don’t have to do that while keeping a wet dog in check. If your dog tends to be nervous in the bath, you may want to have a helper. The helper can help keep your dog steady while you wash him.

Article in English: If you have a well-trained and obedient dog, you could try to make him/her sit and then hide some treats around in the room where you are. Then when you say "Go"! The dog will run around, trying to find all the treats! Remember to hide the treat a place your dog can reach. Remember the game you used to play when you was a kid? Maybe your kids play it, but it's not just for humans! Like the previous step, this requires an obedient and well-trained dog. Make the dog wait sitting down somewhere, facing a wall or better yet, a corner. Then you hide! Be careful, sometimes the dog peeks! And don't make too much noise hiding. Then call the dogs name and wait for the dog to find you! Note that this play works the best if you are alone with your dog at home, because other people can distract the dog. This requires a garden and an old sheet. Find an old sheet that you don't use, and go out to your garden with your dog. Now, run around with the sheet behind you and watch your dog go crazy, trying to catch it! This requires a laser pointer. Use the laser pointer to make your dog (or cat) go mad! Point it around on the floor, and at the walls and watch your pet trying to get a hold of it! Don't point the laser at your pet's eye though, it can harm the dog.

Article in English: If you have a wood surface that is covered in many small scratches, you can touch them up using paste wax, which is sometimes sold as "finishing wax." The wax is best applied using No. 0000 steel wool. Place a small dab of the wax onto the steel wool and apply it in smooth, circular motions. Aim to apply as thin a layer of wax as possible to avoid a finished appearance that is hazy or splotchy. After applying the wax, give it about 30 minutes to dry. Longer times may be required in cold or humid rooms. Use a soft cloth to buff the wood surface, removing excess wax and lending a lustrous sheen to the wood. The small surface scratches will be filled in with the wax and will be minimized in appearance.

Article in English: If you have access to a dishwasher, you can simply place your stainless steel water bottle in the dishwasher along with the rest of your dishes when you’re ready to wash a load.  Place the bottle in the dishwasher upside down with its lid off.  Place any detachable parts – a lid or straw, for instance – in the dishwasher as well.  Add an appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent, close the dishwasher and run a regular cycle. Before placing your stainless steel water bottle in the dishwasher, check it for confirmation that it is dishwasher safe.  For instance, the bottom of the bottle might read, “Dishwasher safe.”  Bottles that are painted or insulated are probably not dishwasher safe. Fill the stainless steel water bottle to about 1/5 of its capacity with white vinegar.  Fill it the rest of the way with water.  Let the water bottle sit overnight.  In the morning, pour the vinegar/water mix out.  Rinse the bottle thoroughly with water, then turn it upside down in your dishrack to air dry. Add one teaspoon of bleach and one teaspoon of baking soda to your water bottle.  Fill it the rest of the way with water.  Let the water bottle sit overnight.  Empty the contents the next day, then rinse it thoroughly with water.  Turn it upside down to let it air dry. This cleaning method is effective for stainless steel water bottles that have developed a stench.

Article in English: If you have access to a washing machine, you can use it to easily shrink a cap made from polyester or another synthetic. Load the cap into the washer by itself or with other clothes. Use a small amount of laundry detergent to clean the cap as you shrink it.  If you’re washing the cap by itself, make sure to set the washer to the smallest load setting so that the wash and rinse cycles don’t use too much water. Putting the cap in the washer with other clothes will cause pressure and friction to work on the cap, breaking it in better. Set the washer to a normal wash cycle using regular water heat. Synthetic materials like polyester shrink easily when exposed to heat, meaning a standard washing is often all that it takes to bring a garment down a half-size or so. Allow the hat to go through the complete wash cycle. If you only need to shrink a polyester cap a little bit, you can remove the cap from the washing machine after the initial wash cycle. For caps needing only minor sizing adjustments, a standard wash should do the trick. Put on the cap and let it air dry on your own crown for a customized fit. If the polyester shrunk a little too much due to the heat from the wash, wearing it as it dries can stretch it out to an optimal fit. Assuming the cap is considerably looser than you’d like it, you might follow up the wash with a run through a machine dryer. This will expose the cap to more intense heat to ensure shrinkage while also drying it much faster and more thoroughly. Put the cap through a timed drying cycle on medium heat. The constant heat of machine dryers is notoriously harsh on synthetic fabrics, so if you need to shrink a cap quite a bit, this may be the best way to go.  Washing and drying a synthetic cap regularly will most likely cause it to shrink quite a bit more than a gentle soak or hand wash. If the hat shrinks too much, try putting it on while it’s still somewhat damp. The fibers should stretch out as the cap becomes worn in. Keep an eye on the hat as it dries. Synthetic materials have been...

Article in English: If you have access to multiple monitors, you may want to take a little time and determine which will provide the best experience for your console. Different consoles have different display needs. If you want to experience the game as it was intended to be played, try to get the best monitor for the job.  You'll get the best image for newer consoles like a PS4 or Xbox One if you use a full High Definition (HD) 1080p monitor. Connecting HD consoles to a CRT (tube) will result in a blurry mess.  Older consoles that don't output in HD will actually look better on older CRT monitors. Using a CRT for a system like an NES or Sega Genesis will give you a much more accurate image. Besides the image quality, it will improve your control in the game. This is due to the high refresh rate of the CRT monitor. The refresh rate is how fast the monitor updates the image on the screen. Connecting an older console to an HD monitor can result in poor control due to the low refresh rate. The image will also be stretched. This is the most important thing you'll need to know before you start connecting your console. Most modern monitors support HDMI and DVI connections. Some have VGA support. Older monitors may only have VGA and DVI, or VGA only. Very few monitors will have composite (RCA) support, which is what many older consoles use. Most modern consoles can be connected via HDMI. Most monitors have connection ports on the back. Many budget monitors only have one connection port. Older monitors may not have a removable cable.  HDMI - This looks like an elongated USB plug with notches at both ends. It is the most common connector for modern monitors and consoles. DVI - This 24-pin connector is another common connector for monitors. It is not used for any video game systems. Luckily you can get converters. VGA - This is the old standard for monitors.

Article in English: If you have aches or a high temperature, your main two choices are acetaminophen (Tylenol) and NSAIDs (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen). Avoid taking NSAIDs, if you have acid reflux or peptic ulcer disease. If you are already taking a NSAID for other issues, talk to your doctor before taking more. Do not take more than the prescribed amount, as indicated on the bottle. Too much of either medicine can lead to liver toxicity. You don't want to develop a worse condition while trying to fight off another. Congestion isn't the only nasty symptom you have to contend with during a cold - dry, itchy, or sore throats can be equally bothersome. An easy, natural way to deal with this is to gargle a salt solution. The water hydrates the throat, while the antiseptic properties in the salt help to fight infection. Make the solution by dissolving a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. If the taste is too unpleasant for your liking, add a little baking soda to take the edge off the saltiness. Gargle this solution up to four times a day. Do not swallow. Elderberries are said to be a great natural immune booster, and are therefore very popular as a natural cold remedy. Elderberry contains flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties and may help prevent damage to the body’s cells. However, very few studies have been done in humans, so researchers don't know how effective elder may be. You can use elderberries in a number of ways:  Taking a spoonful of elderberry syrup every morning. This syrup can be found in most health food stores, or you can make your own. By adding a couple of drops of elderberry extract (also found in health food stores) to a glass of water or juice. Or by drinking elderberry tea - a hot beverage with elder flowers and peppermint leaves. Raw honey is an effective natural immune booster, which also contains anti-viral properties and soothes sore throats making it a primary ingredient in many natural cold remedies.

Article in English: If you have acted badly towards a colleague or an acquaintance, such as spilling coffee on your colleague’s shirt or missing a lunch with an acquaintance, you may want to offer some form of compensation. This could be a redeeming action that is tangible, like paying for dry cleaning the stained shirt or paying for lunch with the acquaintance to make up for missing it the first time. The action of at least offering to compensate the person will often show that you feel bad and want to try to make up for your behavior. Offers of compensation can be financial if you have damaged someone else’s property due to your behavior. You can also offer compensation through other kind actions, like paying for the person’s coffee if you spill theirs by accident or helping someone replace their broken phone if you accidentally sent theirs into the toilet. Another way to make up for bad behavior is to surprise the person you have offended with an apology gift. This could be a standard apology gift, like a bouquet of flowers or a box of sweets. Leave the gift on their desk or have them delivered with a card noting how sorry you are. The small gift may at least help them work toward letting go of their anger toward you and accept your apology. You could also think of a gift that seems particular to the person, like a mug with their favorite celebrity on it or a box of their favorite chocolates. Thoughtful, personal gifts are usually a big hit and can show the person that you feel bad for your behavior. You can also do something nice for the person that will improve their day and show them you want to make up for your behavior. This could be surprising them by taking them out to lunch or bringing them their favorite lunch at work. You could also plan an outing just the two of you to make up for missing an appointment with the person. Often, kind acts should be done along with an apology in words. You may need to compose a thoughtful, heartfelt apology and share it with the person, as well as do a kind act, to help the person forgive you.

Summary in Russian:

Предложите компенсацию за какие-либо предметы, поврежденные из-за вашего поведения. Подарите человеку подарок-извинение. Сделайте человеку что-нибудь приятное.


Article in English: If you have active TB, you will need to take precautionary steps to avoid passing the disease onto others. You will need to stay at home from work or school for several weeks following diagnoses and avoid sleeping or spending long periods of time in a room with other people. You should also refrain from having visitors in the home until you are no longer infectious. The TB virus spreads more easily in enclosed spaces with stagnant air. Therefore, you should open any windows or doors to let fresh air in and contaminated air out. For this reason, you should also sleep alone rather than in the same room as other members of the household. Just like when you have a cold, you will need to cover your mouth whenever you cough, sneeze or even laugh. You can use your hand if necessary, but using a tissue is preferable. If you are forced to be around people, it's a good idea to wear a surgical mask that covers your mouth and nose, at least during the first three weeks following infection. This helps to lessen the risk of you passing the bacteria to someone else. It is absolutely essential that you finish whatever course of medication your doctor prescribes. Failing to do so gives the TB bacteria a chance to mutate, making the virus much more resistant to medications, and therefore more deadly. Finishing your course of medications is the safest option not only for you, but for those around you.

Summary in Russian:

Оставайтесь дома. Проветривайте комнату. Прикрывайте рот. Носите маску. Закончите ваш курс лечения.


Article in English: If you have an aloe vera plant, cut off a small piece. Squeeze the juice from the inside of the aloe sliver over the scab. Allow it to dry without wiping it away. Repeat this four to five times a day. You can buy aloe leaves at many grocery stores in the produce section. If you don’t have fresh aloe, you can buy aloe vera gel instead.

Aloe vera comes in multiple types of products. You can use a commercial aloe vera cream, lotion, or ointment product.

Article in English: If you have an event during which pictures will be taken coming up, and you're nervous your pictures will come out looking stiff, take some time to practice your smile beforehand. Look in the mirror and find your best angle and the right amount of teeth to show. Don't forget to smile with your eyes, too. When you find a smile you love, notice how it feels on your face, so you can replicate it at will. If you're worried that the expression on your face in pictures tends to look fake, pay attention to how it feels next time your face cracks into a genuine smile - like when someone is making you laugh, or your favorite comedy is cracking you up. Ask yourself the following questions that will help you "memorize" the way your authentic smile feels:  What feelings are flooding your brain when you flash a real smile? See if you can recreate those when you're in front of the camera. What position is your face naturally taking? If possible, glance in the mirror before your smile fades and make a mental note of what your genuine smile looks like. When it's time to get your picture taken, try to recreate the facial positioning that come together to create your most winning smile. If your eyes tend to be half-closed in pictures, try a little trick to help you look wide-eyed and alert. Just before the photographer takes your picture, let yourself blink for a full second or two before opening your eyes and smiling. You'll be less likely to give in to the urge to blink when the flash goes off. If your teeth are a little dull, there's quick fix to try that requires no preparation: just before you smile, run your tongue over your teeth to wet them. Teeth that are a little shiny will look brighter than dry teeth. The gloss will keep your smile from looking dull. Some makeup artists actually advise rubbing a little vaseline over the front of the teeth to keep them looking smooth and shiny throughout the photo session. If you're worried about the way you look, chances are that negative emotion is going to show up in your smile....

Article in English: If you have an existing document with your data already entered, you can double-click it to open it; otherwise, you'll need to open a new workbook and enter your data now. This method is useful for text that you already have in your spreadsheet. Note that this cell must be different than the cell in which your target text appears. The LEFT and RIGHT formula are built on the same premise, though the LEFT formula displays characters from the left side of your cell's text and the RIGHT formula displays characters from the right. The formula is "=DIRECTION(Cell Name, Number of characters to display)" without the quotation marks. For example:   =LEFT(A3, 6) displays the first six characters in cell A3. If the text in A3 says "Cats are better", the truncated text will read "Cats a" in your selected cell.  =RIGHT(B2, 5) displays the last 5 characters in cell B2. If the text in B2 says "I love wikiHow", the truncated text will read "kiHow" in your selected cell. Keep in mind that spaces count as characters. Your selected cell will automatically fill with the truncated text.

Summary in Russian:


Article in English: If you have an hourglass figure, you should show off your curves with a pencil skirt. A pencil skirt is form-fitted and wraps around your body to flatter your natural curves. If you have a petite figure, an A-line skirt can be particularly flattering. A-line skirts flare out slightly, creating the illusion of curves and hips. Some body types look better in a shorter or longer style, so experiment a little with different lengths until you find a length you like. An A-line skirt also works for a pear figure, as it highlights your waist and flares over the hips. This can make the hips look smaller. Longer skirts work well for pear shapes, as the longer length slims down the lower body. Pick on that falls a little past your knees. If you're shaped like an apple, a high-waisted skirt with flounce and flare at the bottom works great. The waistband emphasizes the smallest part of torso, creating a slimming effect, and the extra flounce will conceal the stomach. Those with apple figures often have long, slim legs. If you want to draw attention to your legs, opt for a shorter high-waisted skirt. A trumpet skirt wraps around the hips and flares outward at the ends. If you have big hips, this is particularly flattering. The tight fit on top shows off your hips while the flare at the bottom balances your hips and lower body.

Summary in Russian:

Выберите юбку-карандаш, если ваша фигура имеет округлые формы. Для изящной фигуры выберите юбку А-силуэта. Выбирайте длинную юбку А-образного силуэта для типа фигуры «груша». Выберите юбку с высокой талией для типа фигуры «яблоко». Попробуйте юбку-годе, если у вас широкие бедра.


Article in English: If you have an hourglass figure, your curves should be the highlight of your outfit. Instead of going for heavily patterned skirts, go for something in a solid color. This way, the skirt will flatter your curves rather than providing a distraction from them. For example, wear a solid black pencil skirt to the office. If you're slimmer, you do not want a skirt that's too heavily weighted as it will cling to your body. Lightweight fabrics, like lace and silk, will lift slightly and make your hips look a little bigger.  For example, try wearing a lightweight silk A-line skirt for a summer day. You can also look for lighter cotton options, muslins, knit skirts, or rayon skirts. If you have an apple shape, heavier fabrics wrap around your body to create an hourglass effect. Fabrics that are weighted appear slimmer and straighter, which can help highlight the shape of your legs. Try things like denim, rayon challis, heavy types of satin, and flannel. Embellishments like bows and sequins can help weigh down fabric and add some feminine flare. They're a great choice for an apple figure. If you're pear shaped, you'll want to balance out your upper and lower body. A darker skirt can help, as it will slim down your hips. If you're pear shaped, opt for a skirt a few shades darker than your top. For example, wear a dark gray pleated A-line skirt with a simple white t-shirt.

Article in English: If you have an iPod, you will probably already have iTunes installed on your computer, to work with the files on your iPod. Unfortunately, iTunes limits you severely on how you're able to work with getting the music onto and off of your iPod.  With iTunes 7, you're able to back up your entire library to a CD or DVD. Use this CD or DVD to recopy the music back onto your hard drive and import it into Windows Media Player's library. An easier method might be to get Windows Media Player to recognize your iPod directly. However, this sort of compatibility is directly contradictory to the Apple and Microsoft's respective software designs. The iPod by design requires you to use iTunes and not Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player will probably never support the iPod.

Article in English: If you have an in-floor cleaning system, this is a great option for you to use. Alternately, you can contact the manufacturer of the pool for specific servicing/repair tips. Now is also a good time to clean away calcium or scale rings (if any exist). Calcium, Lime, and Rust remover, also known as CLR, usually works pretty well. Work at the tougher buildups with a putty knife, being careful not to damage the lining of the pool. Lesser buildups can usually be dispatched with rubber gloves, a scrubbing pad, and the aforementioned CLR. To keep the rings from reappearing, you can buy some "stain and scale inhibitor." Check the manufacturer's instructions for applications, as well as for repetitions. Some inhibitors need to be reapplied every month to be effective. (optional). A good acid wash will clean the walls of your pool, keep the water looking bright and transparent, and make the whole shebang an altogether more pleasant experience. If your pool is already fairly clean or you don't have time, you may skip this step.

Article in English: If you have an infestation of body lice, chances are that you will also have itchy skin or bumps that result from their bites.  If you notice any unusual itching or red, slightly swollen bumps on your skin you may have body lice.  Itching is most intense around your waist or areas of the body where clothes are in close contact. Red bumps may scab over after appearing and will be itchy. Although body lice survive by taking blood from their host, they actually live in the folds of clothing.  Finding body lice on the body or skin can be difficult.  Search your clothes to have the best chance of finding any body lice that may be present.  Using a magnifying glass can help in your search. Check clothing items that are closest to your skin, such as underwear. Body lice can be difficult to see as they are very small and can move around the body quite easily.  Their tendency to hide and live within your clothes can also make them difficult to find.  However, it is possible to find both the body lice and their eggs with a close examination, confirming their presence.  Adult lice will be around 3 to 4 millimeters in length. Lice have six legs. Body lice may appear tan or gray. An egg, or nit, is usually small, oval, and slightly yellow in color.

Article in English: If you have any chronic health problems such as asthma, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor before you start any intense physical activities outdoors. Your doctor can alert you to important precautions that will keep you safe during your outdoor winter activities.  Start conditioning your body for several weeks if you plan to do any vigorous winter activities, such as skiing or snowboarding. Intense physical activity in winter weather puts you at higher risk for a heart attack, so if you have a chronic heart condition you probably should avoid exercising outdoors in winter weather, especially when temps are near freezing. You also should consult your doctor if you have any chronic medical conditions for which you're currently taking medication. Exercising outdoors may interfere with the effectiveness of your medication. The wind chill is a combination of outside air temperature and wind velocity. Checking the wind chill in the weather forecast before you go outdoors to exercise will tell you what the temperature "feels like" on your skin.  Extreme wind chill can make outdoor exercise dangerous because the wind will penetrate your clothes, leaving you vulnerable to frostbite. Use the temperature, air moisture, and wind chill to plan your outdoor activities. As long as the air temperature is above 5 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 15 degrees Celsius), the risk of frostbite is minimal. However, this risk increases depending on the wind chill. Avoid outdoor activities if the temperature (accounting for wind chill) is below 0 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 18 degrees Celsius), or if there's heavy rain or snow. Frostbite and hypothermia are a risk for anyone who spends significant time outside in the winter. You're especially at risk if you're engaging in intense physical activity, because you may be less likely to notice the signs.  Your fingers, toes, hands, feet, ears, nose, and cheeks are most likely to get frostbitten. If your skin turns gray or yellow, you may have superficial frostbite. If you think you have...
