Article in English: If the plant is infected, it is best to throw it out and purchase another for keeping over. Mealy bugs are the main concern and can be removed by dabbing them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. However, this should be done before the infection spreads or gets too large or you may never kill them all. The plant should be allowed to go dry to the touch between watering and be watered only sparingly (over-watering is the leading cause of plant death in the winter months inside, the plant is not actively growing and is not taking up the normal food it would during the growing season, and if watered to much the plant will end up sitting in water and problems like moss, mold, rot and leaf yellow may accrue). When the temperatures at night get above 10 C, the plant can then be moved outside. If a small bushy plant is your goal, the entire plant should be trimmed down to about "inches above the main trunk. If you want a larger plant, simply pinch the tops of each main branch and continue this until about July. If a topiary is your goal, then remove all of the branches except for the tallest, straightest main branch and do not pinch the plant on the top, just remove the side shoots for the remainder of the season. Doing this will cause what leaves are left to scorch and fall off and may kill the weakened plant. Place the plant in full shade then move the plant out of the shade in two weeks to part shade then two weeks later to full or part sun for the remainder of the season. This will allow the plant to harden off and get used to the new conditions outside. Fertilize every fifth watering or every two weeks (whichever comes last) with a poinsettia fertilizer or house plant fertilizer. Or, if you would like, try a diluted evergreen fertilizer to help promote leaf growth (at this stage all you want is leaf growth, no flowers). This process can take up to 2 months and sometimes longer, depending on conditions and the variety of plant you have.  Switch from a nitrogen based fertilizer to an even houseplant...

Summary in Russian:

Проверьте, нет ли на растении жуков (на многих тепличных растениях жуков не видно, но они появляются примерно через 2 недели после перенесения растения из теплицы в дом). Если вы хотите сохранить определенное растение, необходимо опрыскивать его мыльной водой; с помощью этого метода ваше растение будет обеззаражено. Поместите растение в прохладное (не холодное) помещение со шторами от проникновения солнечного света и не поливайте растение слишком часто. Решите, какой вид растения вы хотите получить к Рождеству. Не ставьте растение под прямые лучи солнца. Начните регулярно поливать растение. С наступлением осеннего сезона, листья растения начнут краснеть (или розоветь, в зависимости от типа растения).


Article in English: If the problem is severe, and immediate attention is necessary, you can look into fumigation options for termite control. Fumigation has the advantage of being able to treat every part of your home and its structure in one go. It is normally only recommended if multiple colonies are found in a single structure. Fumigation is not something that you can carry out yourself. It involves your house being covered over with a giant tent, and fumigators pumping in gas which spreads throughout your home. It is supposed to seep into every crack and crevice in one treatment and kill off the termites that have taken up residence there. A specialist will need to make specific plans for the particulars of your infestation. If your house is going to be fumigated, a pest control company will enter your home, and work for three to five days. Before they arrive you have to take precautions, including ensuring that all food is sealed well or removed from your home. The fumigators will take care of everything else and advise you how to be ready. You won’t be able to access the house until they are finished so you need to be prepared.  There are two different types of poisons used to kill termites; one is a stomach poison, and the other a hormone which prevents termites to regrow a cuticle after moulting. The poisons have a two-fold benefit, since termites will eat the remains of their colony members. Even post tenting and fumigation, a problem may flare up once more with termites; unfortunately, this procedure does not rid your home of termite eggs.

Article in English: If the problem tells you the diameter of the circle, it's easy to find the radius. If you are working with an actual circle, measure the diameter by placing a ruler so its edge passes straight through the circle's center, touching the circle on both sides.  If you're not sure where the circle center is, put the ruler down across your best guess. Hold the zero mark of the ruler steady against the circle, and slowly move the other end back and forth around the circle's edge. The highest measurement you can find is the diameter. For example, you might have a circle with a diameter of 4 centimeters. A circle's radius is always half the length of its diameter.   For example, if the diameter is 4 cm, the radius equals 4 cm ÷ 2 = 2 cm. In math formulas, the radius is r and the diameter is d. You might see this step in your textbook as r=d2{\displaystyle r={\frac {d}{2}}}.

Article in English: If the problem you are working with is a word problem, first you need to write out all of the numbers involved in the calculation. If you were given the numbers written out already, you can skip this step.  For example: What is one-third of seven? When you see “of” written between two numbers in a word problem, think of it as meaning multiply. Thus, one-third of seven actually means one-third multiplied by seven. Writing out the problem gives you (1/3) x 7. When working with whole numbers, you will only multiply the number by the numerator (the top number) of the fraction. The denominator remains the same throughout the multiplication process. For example: (1/3) x 7 = 7/3. Divide the product by the denominator (the bottom number) of the fraction. At this stage, the fraction might be an improper fraction, meaning that the numerator is larger than the denominator, or it will just need to be reduced. For example: After multiplying, the fraction is 7/3. Three doesn’t divide evenly into seven so you will have a remainder. Three goes into seven twice with one leftover; therefore, the final answer is the mixed number 21/3.

Article in English: If the problems blocking you from following your heart seem more serious than you can deal with on your own, or with help from a friend, consider seeing a therapist. Many therapists deal with this kind of problem on a regular basis. If you had a traumatic childhood, a bad marriage, or if you've just collapsed under a ton of stress, therapy can help you rediscover your heart and feel more alive.  Somatic experiencing therapy is similar to Focusing, where you focus on sensations in your body rather than thoughts and memories. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help you examine fixed thoughts and beliefs that may be preventing you from following your heart. Find a local therapist by clicking here. Sometimes it's hard to break through to where your heart is all on your own. Enlist the help of a friend for this task. You can actually do Focusing with a friend, where you go through the steps together and report what happens. You can also just talk about what's going on in your life right now and express your desire to get more in touch with your heart. See if she has any advice for you. Talking it out can also help, because expressing your emotions in words has a powerful effect. For example, you can say "Hey, I feel like I'm not really following my heart in my life right now. I could really use someone to talk to about this. Would you be willing to help?" It's easy to live our lives in response to pressure from other people, such as friends, family, a spouse, or even kids. If you want to follow your heart, make sure you are living according to your own desires rather than what other people want from you. This is actually one of the most commonly reported regrets from people who are on their deathbeds.  Ask yourself, "is this what I truly want, or am I doing it for someone else in spite of myself?" There's nothing wrong with being generous and doing things for other people, of course, but you've got to find a balance where you are being true to yourself when you are being kind and helping others. Otherwise, however...

Article in English: If the puppies in a litter have fleas, then it's almost certain that the mother will have them too. As a result, it will be necessary to treat the mother in order to avoid reinfecting the puppies. Keep in mind that if there are any other animals in the house that have come in contact with the mother dog or puppies, they will need to be treated for fleas also. Although anti-flea products can be used on the mother, it is important to be careful about the products you choose.  If the mother is still providing milk for her puppies, certain chemicals can be passed onto the puppies through the milk, which could make them sick. Therefore, it is essential that you only use prescription products designed for use in lactating mothers. Some store bought products may be marked as "natural" or "drug free", but this does not mean that they are safe for very young puppies. And even if they don't cause any negative side-effects, natural or herbal products are unlikely to be effective in getting rid of fleas. Prescription medications that contain an ingredient called selamectin (such as Revolution and Stronghold) are licensed as being safe for use in pregnant and lactating mothers.  The medication should be applied to the adult dog's skin, according to the manufacturers' instructions, and allowed to dry for several hours before the puppies are allowed to come in contact with the mother. Selamectin-based medications should only be given in the recommended dosages, and should only be administered topically. When given orally, selamectin was shown to cause foetal abnormalities in rats. There are several ingredients used commonly in anti-flea medications that should never be given to pregnant or lactating dogs. Therefore, it's important to read the label very careful or consult with your dog's vet to avoid using products containing these ingredients.  An ingredient called fipronil (which is found in an anti-flea product called Frontline) should never be used on pregnant or lactating mothers, as it has not been proven safe for...

Article in English: If the rabbit is not showing signs of improvement, then call the vet and tell them you are having an emergency issue with your rabbit. If your regular veterinarian is not available, for instance the problem is occurring on a day the veterinary office is closed, then you should call an emergency veterinary office in your area. Your veterinary office may ask you some questions about your rabbit's condition. Then the person on the phone should help you assess whether the rabbit needs to be seen. If you need to transport the rabbit to a vet, keep cooling it as you go. Wrap the rabbit in a damp towel and have the air conditioning on in the car. Transporting a rabbit with heat stroke, while continuing to try to cool it down, may require two people. However, if you don't have anyone to help, just keep the temperature in the car cool and give the rabbit access to cool water. Act calmly and quietly. Some rabbits can really sense stress and react physically to being stressed themselves. They have sensitive systems, so whatever you can do to keep them calm will help. Petting your rabbit softly and covering its eyes may help to keep it calm. In cases of extreme heat stroke, it is necessary to provide cool intravenous fluids. This will allow the veterinarian to bring the rabbit's core temperature down. This is the best, and usually the only, treatment a veterinarian can provide for heat stroke. Getting these fluids can also help vital organs that have started to shut down as a result of dehydration.

Article in English: If the rash continues to spread over your body or does not seem to be improving, despite home treatments, it may be time to see your doctor. Your doctor should examine the rash and prescribe a treatment or medication to help get rid of the rash. As well, if you experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or swallowing, fever, or swelling of your skin or limbs, the rash may be a sign of a more serious medical issue and should be checked by your doctor. Your doctor, or dermatologist, will start by looking for the primary and more prominent feature of the rash. She may notice if the rash is circular in shape, ring-shaped, linear, or snake-like. She may also make note of the rash’s density, color, size, level of tenderness, and temperature (warm or cold to the touch). Finally, she may look at how the rash is distributed on your body, and if it only appears in certain areas or parts of your body.  Your doctor may also run tests on your rash, such as a microscopic analysis of a skin sample and other laboratory tests. She may also run a patch test on you to determine if you are allergic to certain substances.  You may also be required to undergo blood tests to determine if the rash may be a symptom of a viral infection or disease. If your doctor diagnoses you with a non-infectious rash due to an allergy or contact with an irritant, she may prescribe a cortisone cream or a medicated ointment to treat the rash.  If your doctor diagnoses your rash as a symptom of eczema, she may prescribe topical steroids and medicated creams for eczema. If your rash is diagnosed as a symptom of a fungal infection like tinea or ringworm, your doctor may prescribe a topical or oral antifungal medication. If your rash is diagnosed as a symptom of a viral infection like herpes, your doctor may prescribe oral or intravenous antiviral medication. If you think your rash or hives may be due to a reaction from medication you are taking or have taken recently, you should speak to your doctor about switching medications. Never switch or...

Article in English: If the rash is swollen or irritated, soothe it by applying a clean towel soaked in cold water. Lay the compress over the irritated area and leave it on for 5-10 minutes at a time.  Do not rub the compress on your skin, as this can irritate the rash further. Change the compress every 5-10 minutes so the area stays cool. Hydrocortisone helps to reduce redness and swelling on your skin. Look for hydrocortisone cream at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Apply the cream once or twice a day to your skin with a clean finger. Stop using the hydrocortisone ointment once your skin heals, as using it on healthy skin can cause redness. Get aloe vera in the form of a gel or ointment. You can also use the fresh juice from an aloe vera plant on your skin. Put one to two layers of aloe vera on your skin once or twice a day to help it heal. Calendula usually comes in the form of an ointment. Apply it with clean fingers to the area one to two times a day. Look for calendula ointment at your local health food store or online. Tea tree oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help heal irritated skin. Dilute the tea tree oil before you apply it, as it can be very strong. Combine two to four drops of tea tree oil with 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) water. Dip a cotton pad or a clean cloth in the mixture and dab it on the scrape or cut. Do this once a day until your skin heals.  Look for tea tree oil at your local health food store or online. You can also have a warm bath with two to four drops of tea tree oil in the water, exposing your skin to the oil. Thick gels like petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) are good for soothing skin that is dry and irritated due to a rash. Use clean fingers to apply one to two layers of petroleum jelly on the area. Do this 1-3 times a day to keep the area moist and to reduce any itching or swelling. Chemicals and artificial fragrances can irritate your skin further. Stay away from soaps, lotions, and sprays that contain these ingredients, so your skin can heal. Read the...

Article in English: If the relationship is not worth saving, you will be able to see that when both of you are calm. Additionally, breaking up out of anger can make it very difficult to find closure. Make sure you're feeling rational and have taken some time to really think about it before you have "the talk." Agree to not see each other for a week or two, and be sure to clarify that you are still together and your relationship will remain exclusive during this time. Don't spend time together, don't talk on the phone, don't send each other messages. This trial separation might help you see how much you value the relationship...or don't. If it's difficult at first, but if you find yourself at peace without this person in your life, breaking up is probably a good idea. If you enjoy the first few days but then find yourself missing this person and feeling like your life is incomplete without them, you should probably try to repair the relationship. See more details in How to Give Each Other Space. If you've taken the time to think about whether or not you should end the relationship, then you can see if the signs of a good relationship apply to you, too. Here are some signs that you should fight to stay with the person you're with, even if it means that you have to take some drastic changes:  There is a core foundation of similar values and beliefs that you share, especially spiritual and moral values. You still trust each other; you know your partner is on your side and have faith they will work with you for the greater good of your household. Hard times have taken over suddenly without giving you time to find your center. Health problems, trauma, financial problems, addiction regressions and depression can come on in an instant and make things look really dark. Give it time, let the smoke clear, and try to be a friend to each other until it's over. You are caught in a negative response cycle where negative behavior triggers more negative behavior.

Article in English: If the report guidelines give you a number of sources to use, or a limit on how many of a specific type of source you can use, be sure to follow those guidelines carefully. No matter how good your writing is, if you don’t source your report properly, you won’t get good feedback. Any sources you need should be authoritative, like books, newspapers, or scholarly articles written on the subject.  If you don’t have guidelines on how many sources to use, try to find 1-2 reputable sources for each page of the report. Sources can be divided into primary sources, like original written works, court records, and interviews, and secondary sources, like reference books and reviews. Databases, abstracts, and indexes are considered tertiary sources, and can be used to help you find primary and secondary sources for your report.  If you’re writing a business report, you may be given some supplementary materials, such as market research or sales reports, or you may need to compile this information yourself. Even if you’re allowed to use online sources, the best place to start doing research is the library. Visit your school’s library, a public library in your area, or even a nearby college or university library when you’re getting ready to start your report. Search the library’s database to gain access to books, scholarly journals, periodicals, and other sources that might not be available online.  Librarians are an excellent resource when you're working on a report. They can help you find books, articles, and other credible sources. Often, a teacher will limit how many online sources you can use. If you find most of the information you need in the library, you can then use your online sources for details that you couldn’t find anywhere else. Since anyone can write something and put it online, it can be hard sometimes to sift through all of the material on the internet to find authoritative sources. To ensure you’re getting high-level sources, start by using an academic search engine, like Google Scholar, Lexis Nexis, or...

Article in English: If the rock you’ve found is a freshly fallen meteorite, it will be black and shiny as a result of having burned through the atmosphere. After a long time spent on Earth, however, the iron metal in the meteorite will turn to rust, leaving the meteorite a rusty brown.  This rusting starts out as small red and orange spots on the surface of the meteorite that slowly expand to cover more and more of the rock. You may still be able to see the black crust even if part of it has begun to rust.  The meteorite may be black in color but with slight variations (e.g., steely bluish black). However, if the rock you’ve found isn’t at all close to black or brown in color, then it is not a meteorite. Contrary to what you might expect, most meteorites are not round. Instead, they are typically quite irregular, with sides of varying size and shape. Although some meteorites may develop a conical shape, most will not appear aerodynamic once they land.  Although irregular in shape, most meteorites will have edges that are rounded rather than sharp.  If the rock you’ve found is relatively normal in shape, or is round like a ball, it may still be a meteorite. However, the vast majority of meteorites are irregular in shape. As rocks pass through the Earth’s atmosphere, their surfaces begin to melt and air pressure forces the molten material back, leaving a featureless, melt-like surface called a fusion crust. If your rock’s surface looks like it has melted and shifted, it may be a meteorite.  A fusion crust will most likely be smooth and featureless, though it may also include ripple marks and “droplets” where molten stone had moved and resolidified. If your rock does not have a fusion crust, it is most likely not a meteorite. The fusion crust may look like a black eggshell coating the rock.  Rocks in the desert will sometimes develop a shiny black exterior that looks similar to fusion crust. If you found your rock in a desert environment, consider whether its black surface might be desert varnish. Flow lines are small streaks on...

Article in English: If the ruptured cyst is functional cyst, that means it can be treated at home. Your doctor might suggest that you take over-the-counter pain meds to help alleviate the pain. If your doctor suggests this, you can take NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or Aleve, or acetaminophen, like Tylenol. If you are treating the ruptured cyst at home, use heat. You can use a hot water bottle or a heating pad to relieve pain on your abdomen and lower back. You may also consider soaking in a hot bath. Make sure to use caution when using heat against your skin. Always put a towel or cloth between the source of heat and your skin to protect from burning. Herbal teas don’t specifically treat the ruptured cyst, but they can help with pain. Many herbal teas can help loosen tense, aching muscles.  Try chamomile, mint, raspberry, or blackberry teas. These teas also have a boosting effect for anxious moods. If you have pain from a ruptured cyst, take it easy for a few days. Try not to do more than is necessary, and if the pain is too bad, consider staying home from work or school. Limit physical activity, such as strenuous exercise. You should also limit sexual activity until your pain has subsided.

Article in English: If the scratch has penetrated all the layers of paint down to bare metal, it’s important to add a layer of primer.  The primer will prevent rust from developing beneath the surface of the paint, as well as providing a good surface to apply the touch up paint to.  Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of primer to any exposed paint. Be sure to apply the primer to any metal you sanded rust off of. Allow the primer to dry completely.  Then, take your automotive paint and apply a layer of it over the area you painted with primer.  If the scratch is fairly small, try dabbing the paint onto the scratch and allowing it to spread and settle on its own.  Dabbing the paint often yields the flattest finished product.  A toothpick may work for thinner scratches. Most automotive touch up paints will not require multiple layers. Once the primer and the touch up paint have both dried, you may want to add a layer of clear coat.  Because most clear coat comes in a spray can, it’s important that you take steps to prevent over-spray, or accidentally applying clear coat to areas you didn’t intend to.  To prevent this, cut a hole through a piece of cardboard and hold it between the can of clear coat and the scratch, then use the cardboard to help direct the flow of the clear coat spray.  Unlike a nozzle, the hole in the cardboard will allow the clear coat to mist onto the surface of the paint, rather than striking it as a jet and dripping. Immediately dab up any dripping clear coat with a clean rag. Ensure the clear coat is completely dry, then apply some polishing compound to the area.  Use a polishing wheel to polish the paint with the compound, in order to ensure it appears uniform with the rest of the car’s body.  The rubbing compound will remove any small gaps in the paint and create a more professional finish. Stop polishing the area when the shiny paint is revealed by the polishing wheel. Rinse the car, then use a bucket of water mixed with automotive soap to wash the entire car.  Once done, rinse and dry it, and apply a...

Article in English: If the scratch is thick enough to “catch” your fingernail, you can try sanding it out. To do this properly, though, you’ll need to have several grades of sandpaper, from 800 grit to 1500 or even 2000.  Higher numbers indicate finer sandpaper. You can find sandpaper at any store that sells hardware supplies. You can often find it in assorted packs so you don’t have to buy a separate pack for each grade. Take a piece, and fold it in thirds. This will give you a smaller surface to work with, and make it easier to hold the paper. Run some water over the sandpaper. It’s very important to wet the sandpaper--this helps it from becoming too abrasive, and also helps clear away grit and dust as you work. The buffing motion combined with the abrasiveness of the sandpaper can help remove many scratches. Work gently, however. Being too forceful can cause new scratches. Keep buffing until the scratch disappears. Use a fresh, damp cloth and wipe down the area you’ve been working on. Take a new, clean cloth and run it over everything until it's all dry. Examine the scratch area. It should look different, and the scratch may have been removed. If it’s still visible, however, you can try rubbing it again with a finer grade of sandpaper. Try 1200 grit, for instance, and follow the same procedure as before.  Make sure to wet the sandpaper each time, and to work gently.  If 1200 grit doesn’t work, move up to an even finer grade (like 1500), and so on. Once the scratch is fully removed, polishing the area will make everything look like new. Get some commercial plastic or acrylic polishing compound and place some on a clean cloth. Wipe the whole plastic area to blend everything in. Then take a clean cloth and wipe off the excess. You can find plastic polishing compound at most big-box stores, either in the auto supply or home cleaning sections.

Article in English: If the sesame seeds you bought are already toasted, you can skip this step. Otherwise, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring constantly. After about 2 minutes, they will turn golden and fragrant. Pour them onto a small dish so that they can cool off. You can peel them completely, or peel them in alternating stripes for a nicer presentation. Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds out with a spoon and discard them. You should do this even if you are using a "seedless" variety. You can do this with a sharp knife or a food processor. The slices need to be almost paper thin. Cover your work surface with a paper towel. Spread the cucumbers in an even layer on top, then lay another paper towel on top. Gently pat the paper towel to soak up any excess moisture. Pour the vinegar into a medium-sized serving bowl. Add the sugar and the salt. Stir everything together with a fork or mini whisk until the salt and sugar dissolve. Toss everything together with a pair of salad tongs. Make sure that you grab the cucumbers from the bottom of the bowl as well. Japanese cucumber salad is a great accompaniment to many Japanese dishes, including sushi and sashimi.

Article in English: If the site owner and the host are refusing the remove your content, you may have to resort to legal measures. This will be most effective if either the site owner or the hosting company are in the same country as you. Remember, this method will only be useful if the content that is posted is actually illegal (slanderous, defamatory, copyright). It is not illegal for someone to just post your name on a website. This is the cheapest option, and is often good enough to scare the recipient into taking down the content. You only need a few hours of the lawyer's time to perform this, so it shouldn't cost too much. Send the notice to both the site owner and the hosting company. This is the most expensive solution, and should only be attempted if you are absolutely sure the content is illegal. You'll have to pay legal fees, unless you are able to win your case and have the site owner or host pay them. Consult with a lawyer to determine if this is the correct course of action for you. You'll have a very hard time even getting a court date if the host is from a different country. See How to Get a Court Order for more information on filing a court order.

Many blocking services do not account for the mobile versions of blocked sites. For example, you would access the mobile version of Facebook by going to "https://www.m.facebook.com/" in your browser. You can find a website's IP address, which is its raw numerical address, on any major computer platform, after which point you can enter the IP address into the browser's URL bar the same way that you'd search for a regular address (e.g., "https://www.google.com/").  This won't work for all websites; some services hide their IP addresses, and others use multiple IP addresses which aren't always reliable. If you don't have access to Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac) on the computer on which sites are blocked, you can use a personal computer on an unrestricted network to find the IP address and then just use the address on your restricted computer. This method doesn't always work, but it provides a simple alternative to using a proxy site or a portable browser:  Go to https://translate.google.com/ in your browser. Type your website's address into the left text box. Select any language other than the website's original language for the right-most box. Click the website's link in the right-most box.

Article in English: If the situation warrants it, let the authorities handle cases in which you've been emotionally or physically tormented. Keep records and a chronological list of all the things that have happened and discuss pressing charges.  If someone borrowed your car and dented it or borrowed money and never paid you back, detail everything. Keep receipts, written promises, emails, etc. and write up your genuine memory of conversations and exchanges between you. Then go see a lawyer or the police and ask what your chances are of getting an arrest or taking an action for theft, embezzlement, vandalizing, stalking, conversion, or defamation. Always keep your revenge legal. If you want to exact revenge on someone, never cross the line. Vigilantes rightfully end up in jail and harming another isn't going to solve anything. Stay within the law and within your own conscience too. Stealing someone's mail may be thrilling in the moment, but it's also a federal crime. Is that worth it? No. If they've opened you up to harm, don't hold back speaking your mind around them. Use your wit to make passing comments about the other person's attitude or lack of it. Insult them to their face. Be careful. Being picky or nasty means you stoop to their level. It can also be tiring constantly observing them and finding ways to pick them apart. It's likely that they'll resort to doing the same too, so this can backfire and result in a circle of Hatfield-and-McCoy style revenges. Prove to them that they are wrong. If the person undermined you, be the real deal in all times.  If someone tried to undermine you by spreading gossip about you that stopped your promotion, work harder than ever to get that promotion during the next quarter. Work hard and keep your distance from that person until management realizes it was just gossip and that you're the real deal. Be the real deal in all situations. Create a situation where the person who hurt you looks or appears clumsy, disorganized, or uncoordinated. Without letting your target know you wish to...

Article in English: If the skin flap is still attached to the skin tear, use a damp cotton tip to gently ease it back into place. You can also use tweezers or a gloved finger to do this. This will help the skin tear to heal properly. Petroleum jelly gauze is a good option for skin tears as it will protect it and keep it moist so it can heal. Petroleum jelly gauze comes in strips. Use scissors to cut the gauze to fit the area. Then, apply the gauze over the skin tear, leaving a one-inch border around the skin tear. You can get petroleum jelly gauze online or at your local drugstore. Kerlix bandages are made of thick gauze. They will help to protect the skin tear and keep it moist. Use paper tape to the bandage to keep the gauze in place. Make sure you only apply tape to the gauze, not to the skin. You will need to change out the Kerlix bandage every one to two hours to ensure it does not dry to the skin tear. Change the bandages on the skin tear once to twice a day. Soak the bandages in saline solution to make removing them easier, especially if they have an adhesive. Lift the bandages off and away from the direction of the attached skin flap. Clean the skin tear with water before you apply a new bandage. You should also check the skin tear for any signs of infection, such as swelling, odor, pus, or heat coming from the skin tear. If you suspect the skin tear is infected, or it does not appear to be getting better, see a doctor.

По возможности приложите к ране кожный лоскут. Наложите марлевую повязку с вазелином. Перевяжите рану марлевой повязкой «Керликс». Регулярно меняйте повязку.


Article in English: If the skin is broken near your injured toe, you are at higher risk of developing an infection within the bone or the surrounding tissues. Infections get swollen, red, warm and very tender to the touch. Sometimes they leak pus (which represents your white blood cells at work) and smell bad. If you experienced an open compound fracture, your doctor may recommend a precautionary two-week course of oral antibiotics to deter the growth and spread of bacteria.  Your doctor will examine the area carefully and prescribe antibiotics if there is an infection. Your doctor may recommend a tetanus shot following a serious fracture if it was caused by puncturing or lacerating your skin. Orthotics are customized shoe inserts that support the arch of your foot and promote better biomechanics while walking and running. Following a broken toe, especially if the big toe is involved, your gait and foot biomechanics may be negatively altered from limping and avoiding toeing off. Orthotics will help reduce the risk of problems developing in other joints such as the ankle, knee and hips. With a severe fracture, there's always a risk of arthritis developing in surrounding joints, but orthotics can mitigate the risk. After the pain and inflammation have disappeared and the broken bone is healed, you may notice the range of motion or strength within your foot is reduced. As such, ask your doctor for a referral to a sports medicine specialist or physiotherapist who can offer a variety of tailored strengthening exercises, stretches and therapies in order to improve your range of motion, balance, coordination and strength. Other health professionals that may be able to help rehabilitate your toe/foot include podiatrists, osteopaths and chiropractors.

Summary in Russian:

Остерегайтесь признаков инфекции. Носите ортопедическую обувь. Пройдите физиотерапию.


Article in English: If the skin tear causes an open wound, you may need to see a doctor. The doctor can then use medical glue to close the skin tear. This will help the skin tear to heal and prevent the tear from becoming infected. If the skin tear is very painful, the doctor may numb the area before they apply the medical glue. The doctor may also suggest stitches on the skin tear to close the skin. This may be an option if the skin tear is severe and is at risk of infection. The doctor will use a local anesthesia on the area before they stitch it up.

Article in English: If the soil is too dry, it will soak up all of the water from the jug before you leave on your trip. By the time you get back, there may not even be any water left in the jug. Water the soil before making the string drip system to avoid this issue. Position the jug so that it is out of direct sunlight; this will reduce the amount of evaporation. If you are only going for a few days and have a small plant, a mason jar will be enough. Don't fill the jug with water yet. This method will keep your plants watered for up to a week. The twine needs to be long enough to extend from the bottom of the jug to the base of the plant. If you can't find cotton or nylon twine, or if it is too thin, braid 3 strips of cotton fabric together, and use that instead. The string must be able to hold water. If it can't hold water, this method won't work. The string must reach the bottom of the jug. If you wish to water more than 1 plant, it might be a good idea to set up more jugs, 1 for each plant. This way, you won't run into the risk of the jug running out of water while you are away. If you have a few plants that don't require a lot of water, such as succulents, you might be able to get away with a single jug for 2 or 3 plants. Even if the jug does run out of water, your plants may still survive because of their water-retaining properties. The string needs to be about 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) deep. Also, make sure that the string is out of direct sunlight. Partial sun is fine, but if there is too much sunlight, the string will dry out before it can get the water to the plant. If your plants need fertilizer, you can also add some liquid fertilizer into the water at this time. If your plant is in a sunny spot, consider putting a piece of duct tape over the mouth of the jug; be careful not to cover the string, however. This will help slow down the rate of evaporation. If the jug is too low, put it on top of a book, a block, or an upturned pot to raise it up a little. This way, the water will be able to drip down the string.

Article in English: If the soil is too dry, it will soak up all of the water that is in the bottle. If the soil is dry, water it now. A wine bottle will be ideal, because it will be large enough to water 4 to 6 square feet (0.38 to 0.56 square meters) for up to 3 days. If you don't need to water such a large area, you can use a smaller bottle, such as a soda or beer bottle. Alternatively, you can also use a store-bought watering globe or aqua globe. Don't fill it all the way; just up to where the neck starts will be plenty. At this time, you can also add additional items, such as liquid fertilizers. Use your thumb to plug the hole in the mouth of the bottle when you flip it over. Position the bottle right next to the plant you need to be watered. As you’re pushing the neck into the soil, move your thumb out of the way. Make sure that the bottle's neck is several inches in the soil. It's okay if the bottle leans to the side, but it should be sturdy and secure. If the water is not draining at all, the soil might be clogging the bottle. If this happens, take the bottle out of the soil, clean it, and glue a piece of screening over the mouth. Refill the bottle, and insert it into the soil again. Draw a line on the bottle with a permanent marker, right at the water level. Check back after a few hours (or even a whole day). If the water level is below the line you drew, the water is draining properly. If the water level has not changed, something might be blocking it.

Article in English: If the soundbar is battery-powered, insert the batteries, then press the power button. If the soundbar requires a power source, plug its power cable into a wall outlet or power strip, then press the power button. If your soundbar has a Toslink (also known as optical audio) port, you can use an optical audio cable to connect it to your PC. The port is usually labeled "TOSLINK" or "OPTICAL." Toslink is a standard optical audio cable typically used to connect home theater systems to digital electronics, such as DVD players. The port is usually labeled "TOSLINK," "OPTICAL," or "DIGITAL AUDIO OUT." If you're using a desktop PC, it should be on the back panel. If you have a laptop, it's likely on one of the sides. Once connected, your PC will send all audio through to the soundbar. Some slimmer laptop models may not have a TOSLINK port.

Article in English: If the soundbar is battery-powered, insert the batteries, then press the power button. If the soundbar requires a power source, plug its power cable into a wall outlet or power strip, then press the power button. The steps to do this vary by model, but you'll usually have to press a button somewhere on the soundbar to make it discoverable by your PC.  Check your soundbar's instruction manual for steps unique to your model. Some soundbars enter pairing mode automatically. It's the square chat bubble to the right of the clock in the taskbar, which is usually at the bottom of the screen. There may be a small number over the icon. Locate the "Bluetooth" tile, which contains a small icon that looks like a sideways bowtie.  If the tile is a lighter color and says "Not Connected" (or shows the name of a connected device), Bluetooth is already on. If the tile says "Bluetooth" and is dark in color, click it to enable Bluetooth. It has an icon of a computer screen and speaker. Windows will now scan for devices. This connects the PC to the soundbar. Once connected, all audio will be routed to the soundbar. Once the speaker is paired, your PC will automatically connect to it whenever it's in range.

Article in English: If the spider is non-venomous, there are a number of ways to get it out of your home. If the spider in your house is already close to a window or door, you can find ways to encourage the spider out. You will first want to open the door or window to show the spider the way out of the house.  Try to step around the spider and open the door or window slowly. If you scare the spider, it may run and hide somewhere, and you won’t be able to get it outside as easily. Find an object like a notebook, folder, or book that you can move around the spider if it tries to go in a direction that’s not the open door or window. Anything that is tall and flat will work. Take the notebook or folder and gently give the spider a nudge toward the door. The spider will be scared and start moving. If the spider veers away from the door, take the notebook and put it next to the spider to create a wall so that the spider won’t be able to run in that direction anymore. Keep doing this until the spider starts running in the right direction. The spider may hesitate on the threshold as it is running toward the door. If the spider lingers on the threshold, brush it out using your hand or the notebook or folder. You also could flick it with your finger. When you are using the folder to guide the spider out of the door, the spider may start crawling on the folder instead of running. If the spider crawls onto the folder, toss the folder out the door, so that both the spider and the folder are outside. The spider will eventually crawl off the folder, and you can go and retrieve the folder later. You may not feel comfortable throwing the folder out of the door or window, especially if you live in a communal space like an apartment complex. If the spider crawls on the folder, instead of throwing it you can go outside with the folder and either brush the spider off with your hand, or wipe the folder on a bush or the windowsill until the spider falls off. Now that the spider’s gone, you don’t want it to come back! Make sure that you close the door...

Article in English: If the stain is not your own blood, exercise caution and use gloves for this and all subsequent steps. Some bloodborne pathogens can remain infectious for days outside the body. Dispose of all soiled cleaning supplies with care. If possible, chill the water in a bowl with ice cubes. Never use warm or hot water to clean blood! If you do, the heat may set the stain and make it permanent. Carefully dab the area until dry. Tamp gently up and down. Do not dab at a dry stain, as that may damage the paper. This will likely need to be done a few times. If the stain was fresh, this may be all that's necessary to remove the stain. If the stain persists, go on to the next step. Repeat steps 2-3 using hydrogen peroxide instead of water. Repeat as necessary. Do not be tempted to use bleach on a blood stain! Bleach can break down the proteins found in blood, leaving behind an unsightly yellow mark.

Article in English: If the stain is very fresh, get a hold of some club soda instead of plain, cold water. Stir the mixture until the salt has somewhat dissolved in the water. Make sure a good part of the rag/cloth is saturated with the saltwater. Try blotting alone first. If you see no results just from that action, try wiping the stain. Alternate between blotting and wiping until the stain disappears.  You can also turn your garment inside out and flush the stain from the back with cold club soda and salt. If this didn't work for your blood stain, go ahead an try the next steps below. Add two tablespoons of table salt or the same quantity of ammonia. Mix the ingredients. If the blood stain is dry and no longer fresh, pour the water and salt/ammonia mixture into a plastic tub, and soak the stained part of your jeans in it anywhere from thirty minutes to overnight. You can occasionally check on the stain to observe its progress.  Do not use warm water as that'll actually set the stain instead of removing it. If these steps didn't get rid of your stain, try any of the ones below. This method should work quite well on old and set-in stains. After you've soaked your jeans in cold water, wring them out and place them in a plastic bag with two cups of lemon juice and half a cup of table salt. Let your garment soak for about ten minutes, then hang your jeans outside to dry. Once they're dry, put them in your regular laundry cycle. Note that lemon juice can lighten your garments color. It's best to use this method on light or white jeans. Due to its ability to break down proteins, meat tenderizer can be an effective blood stain remover. Use a quarter teaspoon of the meat tenderizer, add a little cold water, and mix it into a paste. Work the paste into the blood stain. Let it set in for about fifteen minutes, then rinse out your jeans.  You can get meat tenderizer in any convenience store. If none of the above steps worked on your blood stain, give the last one below a chance. Hairspray can be another effective product to get rid of...

Article in English: If the staves you use have specific indentations for rhinestone gems, clean them thoroughly using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.  Wipe away any residue using the dry side of the cotton swab or a clean, dry rag. This process removes any debris that could interfere with the effectiveness of the glue you'll be using later on. If the staves do not have specific inlay holes, you should still clean the general areas you plan to place the stones. Note that rhinestone decorations are only optional. Skip this section if you choose not to use them. Use a toothpick to apply a dab of glue to the back of one rhinestone gem.  You may need to hold the stone with tweezers as you apply the glue to prevent the adhesive from sticking to your skin. Five-minute epoxy is a good choice, but any super glue should work. Place the stone, glue-side down, on one of the cleaned inlays. Gently press down on the stone so that the adhesive sticks securely to the stave.  Wait until the glue dries before continuing. If the staves you use do not have specific inlay holes, you will need to determine where to place each gemstone before applying it. The stone should be able to stick to any position on the stave, though. Apply glue to the back of each rhinestone gem, then place each gem on a separate inlay hole along the stave. Typically, each stave has six gemstone inlays. Repeat the process for each stave until all 12 staves are decorated with rhinestones.  Let everything dry before continuing. If the staves do not have separate rhinestone inlays, you will need to measure out the space in between each stone on your first stave and repeat these precise measurements on each stave that follows.

Article in English: If the stress comes from difficulties in your relationship, make a distinction between such problems and the relationship itself. You shouldn't let one single difficulty affect the entire relationship. Find out what doesn't work in the relationship and address this specific issue by using what does work as a point of strength. What makes a reaction different from a response is its intensity and emotional subtext. Think your answers through. If one implies anger, sarcasm, accusations, it's a reaction. This will only turn communication into a table-tennis match where the goal is to win rather than to find a solution. However, a team always plays on the same side.  Don't phrase your comments as judgments or blame your partner out of spite. This can only lead to further stress and misunderstanding. You can do this by focusing on future objectives rather than past actions. If you were disappointed at your partner's not doing the dishes, seize the next occasion to ask them to do the dishes, without mentioning the fact that they didn't in the past. Don't invalidate your partner's opinions just to win an argument. Proving yourself right might be good for your ego, but it never makes a team stronger.  Understand that, when we're angry, communication follows war patterns: aggression and defense. You should avoid both, and try to bring the conversation back to equal terms. Express ideas as positive statements, without using them as weapons or shields. If your partner's tone becomes aggressive or judgmental, point it out gently and ask what was behind the message. What we say is usually not as important as why we said it. This will help you address the original source of stress, instead of spending time arguing over a harsh reply. Be tolerant if your partner has a bad reaction. If this happens repeatedly, point out this is not a useful discussion. It will never lead to a solution but only further stress. This is the golden rule of any relationship. Showing each other respect through what you say or do will decrease the...

Article in English: If the strong smell of car fresheners makes you feel nauseated even when you are not sick, then you should definitely avoid them when you are. The things you see, smell and taste are also stimuli for vomiting, so knowing what makes you feel queasy really matters. For example, some people feel queasy when they see blood, even if it is just movie blood. Other people feel nauseous when they eat blue cheese, or gag when they smell garbage. Whatever your triggers are, stay away from them. All three of these liquids can stimulate the gag reflex and may even irritate the lining of your gastrointestinal tract. You will want to avoid them for at least a day after you have vomited.  Carbonated beverages include all sodas and beer. Acidic drinks include orange juice, grapefruit juice, and other drinks made with citrus. Caffeinated drinks include coffee, black tea, and energy drinks. These types of food are clinically known to promote vomiting. Since your stomach needs to work double time to digest it, you will most likely vomit as a result. Wait at least 48 hours after vomiting before eating any sort of oily or mildly spicy foods. If you have motion sickness, then vehicles are off limits. When you have the stomach flu, you already have a tendency to vomit. Riding in a vehicle will only increase your chance of vomiting. This is because rapidly changing direction (like sitting in the back of a car making a U-turn) stimulates receptors in the vestibular labyrinth of the inner ear. From the inner ear, impulses are transmitted via the brainstem into the cerebellum, which houses the vomiting center, causing you to become physically ill. If there is absolutely no way you can avoid riding in a car, ask the driver to take turns slowly and drive carefully so that no sharp movements are made. This can lessen your chance of getting sick. You probably already know that smoking is bad for your health. However, it is even worse for you if you are trying to stop vomiting. When you smoke a cigarette, you are inhaling nicotine. Nicotine...

Article in English: If the swelling doesn’t go down within two to three days or the symptoms get worse, contact your doctor. There could be an infection or more serious condition causing the inflammation. If you feel any numbness or tingling on your face, experience any vision problems, or notice any pus or other signs of infection, go to the doctor. The facial swelling may be due to an allergic reaction. You can try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine to see if that helps. If that doesn’t help, go to the doctor. They can diagnose the underlying cause and prescribe stronger antihistamines. They may prescribe oral or topical antihistamines. Some facial swelling, especially that caused by edema, can be treated by medications that help rid your body of excess fluids. Your doctor may prescribe you a diuretic, which will help release fluid in your body through urine. Sometimes, medications such as prednisone that you take may lead to swelling, which can occur in the face. Talk to your doctor about the medications that you take. If your doctor suspects that is the cause, they will change your medication.

Summary in Russian:

Обратитесь к врачу, если отек не проходит или усиливается. Принимайте антигистаминные средства. Принимайте мочегонные средства. Замените лекарства, которые вы принимаете.


Article in English: If the symptoms do not subside within a few hours, consider seeking urgent medical advice. Though it's not a life or death situation, make the call, even if only for advice. The ER doctor most likely will give the patient Valium or Xanax and possibly a Beta-Blocker like Atenolol to calm the heart and the adrenaline in the body. If this is the first time they have had a panic attack, they may want to seek medical attention because they are frightened of what is happening to them. If they've had panic attacks in the past, however, they may know that getting emergency care will worsen their state. Ask them. This decision will ultimately depend on the individual's experience and your interactions with him or her. Panic attacks are a form of anxiety that should be treated by a medical professional. A good therapist should be able to pinpoint the panic attack triggers or, at the very least, help the individual get a better grasp on the physiological side of the situation. If they do begin it, allow them to proceed at their own pace. Let them know that therapy is not for kooks. It is a legitimate form of help that millions of people are a part of. What's more, a therapist may prescribe a medication that halts the problem in its tracks. The medication may not stop the attacks completely, but will surely lower the amount and frequency of them. You may feel incredibly guilty that you are the one freaking out during a friend's panic attack, but this is normal. Know that being alarmed and a bit scared is a healthy response to witnessing one of these episodes. If it'd help, ask the person if you can talk about it later, so you can handle it better in the future.

Article in English: If the synopsis is longer than one page in length, double space the document. It will be easier for the literary agent to read. When you are rushing to finish your synopsis, it can be easy to forget including the title of your book and your name. Make sure these details are on each page of the document in the upper left-hand corner. If a literary agent likes your synopsis, you want to make sure they know who to contact. While you might feel like you should use a more interesting font, it's best to stick with a standard one such as Times New Roman that is easy to read and will open on a variety of devices. If you typed your book in a certain font, stick with the same font for the synopsis so they match. You might also be submitting sample chapters, and the documents will look like they are part of the same package or go together. Although the synopsis is a shorter document, you do not want it to appear like you wrote it in a stream of consciousness. To prevent this from happening, indent paragraphs so your synopsis looks neat and well-organized. Length requirements of synopses vary depending on the literary agent or publishing company. Make sure you follow the guidelines you are given or ask the agent or publisher you are working with what they would prefer.  Some writers recommend starting with a 5 page synopsis, and then condensing this document and trimming it down as needed. Be prepared for different length requirements ahead of time by having a 1 page and 3 page synopsis on hand. Even if the length requirements are slightly different, you should be able to easily adapt a 1 page or 3 page version.

Article in English: If the terminal is not already open, open it. Many distributions allow you to open it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. su - and press ↵ Enter. This will attempt to log you in as "super user." You can actually use this command to log in as any user on the machine, but when left blank it will attempt to log in as root. After typing su - and pressing ↵ Enter, you'll be prompted for the root password. If you get an "authentication error" message, your root account is likely locked. See the next section for instructions on unlocking it. When you are logged in as root, the command prompt should end with # instead of $. Once you've used su - to log in as root, you can run any commands that require root access. The su command is preserved until the end of the session, so you don't need to keep re-entering the root password every time you need to run a command. sudo instead of su -. sudo ("super user do") is a command that lets you run other commands as root temporarily. This is the best way for most users to run root commands, as the root environment is not maintained, and the user doesn't need to know the root password. Instead, the user will enter their own user password for temporary root access.  Type sudo command and press ↵ Enter (e.g. sudo ifconfig). When prompted for the password, enter your user password, not the root password.  sudo is the preferred method for distributions like Ubuntu, where it will work even when the root account is locked. This command is limited to users with administrator privileges. Users can be added or removed from /etc/sudoers.

Article in English: If the thorn is just beneath a soft, thin layer of skin that has begun to heal over it, this method works well. However, it's important to follow the right technique so that you don't introduce bacteria to your skin and end up with an infection. Here's how to do it:  Make sure the area where the thorn went in is clean and dry. Sterilize a sewing needle by wiping it with rubbing alcohol. Press the tip of the needle over the tip of the thorn and gently loosen the new layer of skin that grew there by digging the needle under the skin. Loosen the skin around the thorn. When enough of the thorn is exposed, remove it with tweezers Clean the area with warm, soapy water. Put a bandaid on if necessary. Thorns deeply embedded in thick, calloused skin can be removed with a razor. Only use this method for thick skin on your heels or another calloused area. Do not use this method on thinner skin, since you could easily cut yourself too deeply. If you wish to use this method, exercise extreme caution while handling the razor.  Make sure the area where the thorn went in is clean and dry. Sterilize the nail clipper or razor by wiping it with rubbing alcohol. Very carefully make a cut over the thorn to expose it. In calloused skin, this should not draw any blood. Use the tweezers to remove the exposed thorn. Clean the area and bandage it if necessary. If the thorn is just too deep to remove on your own, or if it's close to a sensitive area like your eye, see a doctor for quick and clean removal. The doctor will have the right equipment to remove it easily with low risk of infection.

Article in English: If the thought of picking up poop with your hand makes you squeamish, or if you have trouble bending over or stooping, a pooper scooper is a good alternative for picking up your dog’s poop. There are many types of pooper scoopers available at your local pet store or home gardening store. Scoopers often come with spades (for use on a solid surface), rakes (for use on grass), or grabbers (grasping poop).  Try to find a pooper scooper that is sturdy enough to use with one hand. If you are walking with your dog, having a scooper that you can use with one hand would be useful. You can also purchase a pooper scooper that is designed to have a plastic bag attached to the scooper end.  By nature of their design, pooper scoopers are not effective for picking up poop that is mushy or diarrhea-like. If your dog has defecated on the concrete, use your pooper scooper with a spade to scoop up under the poop. After scooping up the poop, carefully dump it into a doggie bag. Alternatively, you could your “grabber” pooper scooper to grab the poop and drop it into the doggie bag.  If you are cleaning up poop in the grass, use your pooper scooper with a rake to gather the poop into a neat pile (if necessary) before you scoop it up to drop it into a doggie bag. The mechanism for using the scooper will depend on what types of attachments it has. The staff at your local pet store or home gardening store can assist you with how to use the specific scooper that you want to purchase. It is necessary to clean your pooper scooper so that the remnants of your dog’s poop do not begin to accumulate on the scooper. These remnants could attract flies and make it more difficult to pick up your dog’s poop. To keep it clean, you can either hose it down with water or let it soak in a bucket of disinfectant.  If you choose to use a bucket with disinfectant, make sure to use this bucket only for cleaning your pooper scooper and not for any other household purposes. Talk with your local waste department for advice on throwing away the water that...

Article in English: If the tool is part of a larger machine, such as a table saw, disassemble your unit. Wash all of the tools or parts to be treated for rust in a mixture of grease-cutting dish detergent and warm water to remove the oils and dirt. You can use a plastic container, pot, or tub, as long as it’s large enough to submerge the tools. Choose a container that you can set aside for one to three days. White vinegar is acidic, so it will cut through the rust, making it easier to remove. While the amount of white vinegar will vary depending on how many tools you are cleaning and how big they are, track how much you add to the container so that you can properly measure your salt. You should add roughly ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of salt for each quart (1 liter) of vinegar. The salt will increase the acidity of the vinegar so that the solution dissolves the rust quicker. Spread the salt evenly over the vinegar soak. The vinegar and salt need time to break down the rust so that it can be scrubbed from the tools. The longer you allow your tools to remain in the vinegar, the easier it will be to remove the rust.  Place the container in a secure location so that children and animals won’t get into it. For example, you could lock it in your garage or shed. Pull out any tools with hinges or moving parts occasionally to move them around. This helps work out the rust from the crevices. After you remove the tools from the vinegar solution, vigorously rub your tools to buff away the rust. Continue to scrub the tools until they are completely free of rust.  If the rust is thick, use a metal bristle brush.  Use a small, firm toothbrush in circular motions for hard to reach areas. Pour out the vinegar solution and wash out the tub. Fill the tub with enough clean water to match the amount of vinegar solution that you’d used. The baking soda will neutralize the acid from the vinegar so that it doesn’t remain on your tools. Use about ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of baking soda for each quart (1 liter) of water. Mix the baking soda into the water to...

Article in English: If the total length of the dress falls within these measurements, it is a very short dress that will sit on the upper to mid thigh, known as a micro or mini dress. This means the dress will sit just above the knee or just at the knee, known as a cocktail length dress. If you are very tall or very short, the dress may hit you differently in the knee area depending on your height. This means the dress will fall just below the knee or at the calves, known as a midi dress. This means the dress will be fairly long, falling at your ankles or to the floor, known as a maxi dress.

Article in English: If the toy has a bobblehead, for example, maybe you could name it Bobby, or Shaky. Or, think about the gender. You probably don't want a boy named Princess! Think about what animal the toy is and name it for what it is matched with. For example, a parrot. They are known to live with pirates, so why not a "pirate"-ish name, such as "Patchy"? Or maybe if a toy is "jet black", you could name your toy Jet. Look carefully at the toy's face or expression, and sometimes a name just pops inside your head! See if it reminds you of someone you know, but don't give them your best friend's name if it's a stuffed pig.    Then the name will have a meaning. For example: If you got the toy in April you could name the toy April, or if someone gave it to you, you could name it after them.

Article in English: If the two of you are having an intimate moment, your eyes will communicate a lot about how you are feeling. Smile at him, and move your body closer. If you are holding hands, you can pull him that way. You might also place a hand on his hip, or gently tug his shirt. Let the anticipation build for a moment, your body lightly touching his. Look at his face to gauge how he is feeling. Maybe take his hand, or put a hand on his waist. Breathe, and relax into his body. You might lean your head against his chest or shoulder, or move one of your hands down to hold one of his. Stay in this position for a while, enjoying the closeness. Feel his breathing. Listen for his heartbeat. Relax into the moment. Don’t feel any pressure to speak—your body will speak for you. It’s up to you whether or not to rub his back with your hands. A gentle back rub can feel nice, but if you want to comfort someone or make him feel safe, sometimes it’s best just to hold him. Squeeze him gently, and lean back. Grab his hand as you break apart, and give that a light squeeze as well before letting go. Look into his eyes, and give him your most affectionate, trusting smile.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: If the two of you have interacted in the past, you will probably have to do so in the present. You will need to stop letting your thoughts linger on these moments of interaction.  Anything from a brush against your hand, a smile in your direction, or a kind greeting can linger in your thoughts for hours if you let it.     The moment you catch yourself obsessing over something of this nature, you need to turn your attention to other things. As the saying goes, “out of sight and out of mind.” You do not need to permanently sever any and all ties with this person, but for the duration of your non-break-up, you need to put as much space between the two of you as possible.  This is harder if the person you have feelings for is a classmate, coworker, or someone you see on a regular basis. It can also be difficult if this person is a close friend. If you cannot cut ties completely, at least distance yourself in whatever ways you can. If you purposefully walk down one hallway just so you can pass that person by, for instance, choose another hallway to walk down, instead.    Stop trying to align yourself to that person's interests and routine. Let your life return to the way it was before this person ever came along.  If you convinced yourself that you like something just because the object of your affection likes it, be honest with yourself and go back to not caring for it. Stop rearranging your schedule or uprooting your routine on the off-chance that you can see that person or do something to please him or her. Regrettably, most people tend to put those they have feelings for on a pedestal. Take the object of your affection off that pedestal and be honest with yourself about his or her faults. This does not mean you have to hate the person in question, especially if this person is a genuinely decent human being. It does, however, mean that you should point out the person's faults and flaws to yourself and admit that he or she is not the very definition of perfection.    The person in question might honestly be a...

Article in English: If the values in a given set all occur the same number of times, the data set has no mode because no number is any more common than any other. For instance, data sets in which every value occurs once have no mode. The same is true for data sets in which every value occurs twice, three times, and so on. If we change our example data set to {11, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21} so that each value occurs only once, the data set now has no mode. The same is true if we change the data set so that each value occurs twice: {11, 11, 15, 15, 17, 17, 18, 18, 19, 19, 21, 21}. Generally, most data sets are quantitative - they deal with data in the form of numbers. However, some data sets deal with data that is not expressed in the form of numbers. In these cases, the "mode" can be said to be the single value that occurs the most in the data set, much as it is for numerical data sets. In these cases, it may be possible to find the mode while being impossible to find a meaningful median or mean for the data set.  For example, let's say that a biological survey determines the species of each tree in a small local part. The data set for the types of trees in the park is {Cedar, Alder, Cedar, Pine, Cedar, Cedar, Alder, Alder, Pine, Cedar}. This type of data set is called a nominal data set because the data points are distinguished only by their names. In this case, the mode of the data set is Cedar because it occurs the most often (five times as opposed to three for Alder and two for Pine). Note that, for the example data set above, it's impossible to calculate a mean or median because the data points have no numerical value. As noted above, it's possible for the mode, median, and/or mean to overlap in certain cases. In special, select cases where the density function of the data set forms a perfectly symmetrical curve with one mode (for example, the Gaussian or "Bell-Shaped" Curve), the mode, mean, and median will all be the same value. Because a distribution function graphs the relative occurrence of data points, the mode will naturally...

Summary in Russian:

Множество не имеет моды, если каждое значение встречается в нем одинаковое число раз. Помните, что моду нечислового набора данных можно определить точно так же, как для числовых множеств. При одномодальном симметричном распределении мода, среднее значение и медиана совпадают.


Article in English: If the victim cannot get out on their own and help has not arrived, you should throw a long object that the victim can hold on to, such as a pole, a rope, a tree limp, or even a long scarf. Connecting yourself with the drowning person with a long object will keep you out of harm's way. Once the object reaches the victim, they should wrap it around themselves as much as they can.  To increase the chances of a safe ice rescue, you should be prepared with rope and other long items if you plan on going onto the ice. Get a rope, extension cord, hockey stick, or any other sort of strong line that you can find. Since the victim's cold hands may not be able to grip the line, tie a loop (not a slip knot—preferably a bowline knot) at the end of the rope and tell them to put their arms through the loop and then bend their arms to touch their shoulders so that the rope is inside the bend of their elbows. Alternatively, they can put the loop over their head and slide it down under their arms. A sled, a life preserver tied to a rope, or any object for the victim to grab onto will be more helpful than nothing. If you happen to have a light boat that you can push across the ice ahead of you, you should push it to the edge of the hole, get into it, and then pull the victim over the bow, making sure that it doesn't capsize. Attaching rope to the boat so the boat can more easily be brought to the shore by other rescuers isn't a bad idea if there's some rope nearby. If you don't have any rescue devices but you're with multiple people, then you may need to make a human chain to rescue the individual. To do this, you'll need to have the rescuers lie on the ice as closely as they can, forming a chain by holding on to the ankles of the person in front of him or her. The person at the front of the chain, who is closest to the victim, should grab the victim by their hands and should pull them flat onto the ice while the person at the end of the chain pulls the chain back. Though the human chain is not ideal, it's far better than...

Article in English: If the victim doesn’t respond or wake up after losing consciousness, experiences worsening headaches, vomits repeatedly, has blood or fluid leaking from the ears and nose, has a seizure, difficulty breathing, or slurred speech, take them to the emergency room immediately. These symptoms could indicate a very serious brain injury. Even if emergency medical treatment isn’t required, all head injuries should be evaluated by a licensed healthcare professional. If you suspect someone has a concussion, take them to the doctor within 2 days of the incident. In general, the symptoms of a concussion decrease over time. If the opposite is happening and the person experiences worsening pain, such as headache, and/or increased fatigue, seek immediate medical attention. These signs could indicate a more serious injury. Usually, bed rest is prescribed for people with concussions. This includes both physical and mental rest, meaning the person should avoid physical activity (like exercise) as well as strenuous mental activity (such as playing video games or doing crossword puzzles). Be sure to rest for as long as the doctor recommends, and always follow any other treatment plan as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If the victim got a concussion while playing a sport, exercising, or doing another physical activity, remove the person from the game or activity. They should not resume the activity until evaluated by a doctor, especially if it is a contact sport in which they may get hit again.

Article in English: If the victim has stopped breathing or has no pulse, either from drowning or from sudden cardiac arrest, perform CPR on the victim if you know how. Do not attempt it if you don't know how to do it, but keep yelling for help if help has not come yet to maximize your chances of finding someone who knows how to do CPR. Even if the person appears to be dead, do not give up. Icy water can lower body temperature and slow down body functions, and just because the person isn't moving or responding doesn't mean they aren't alive and in need of help. If the victim is breathing and conscious, bring him or her inside or somewhere warm. They may need to be treated for shock as soon as possible. Remove wet clothes and immerse the person in lukewarm water that's no warmer than 90° Fahrenheit, 32° Celsius at first; gradually warm the water up later. Immersing a victim of hypothermia in water that is too warm can cause dangerous heart rhythms. If warm water is not immediately available, wrap the person in blankets. Though you may think that giving the person something warm to eat or drink will help him or her, you should not give any food or drink to a person who is still in shock and unable to eat or drink. Even if the victim feels fine, he or she should still be examined by a medical professional. Though you have rescued the victim from the ice, you're not out of the woods quite yet. The repercussions of falling through ice, even for a few minutes, can be deadly. The person may be suffering from frostbite or a number of other complications. If you want to prevent future falls through the ice, you should always know the thickness of the ice where you'll be fishing, walking, snowboarding, or doing whatever it is you do on the ice. You can check the thickness of the ice by using an ice chisel, ice auger, cordless drill, or tape measure, and by calling the local bait shop or lakeside resort to ask about the ice conditions in the area. Here are the appropriate thicknesses for each activity:  2"  (5 cm) or less: Stay off the ice....

Article in English: If the vowels tell us what is most true about our inner self, perhaps the consonants tell us what is seen on the exterior. In the study of Numerology, this is held true. One's Personality Number reveals those parts of yourself that are easiest to show to others. It articulates how to filter the people and experiences you want out of life through your external behavior. This number goes beyond your own agency and also explains what others observe about you within a brief encounter. It shows the principal personality traits that are noticed with little effort on the part of those around you. Follow the same pattern as above using only the consonants to determine your number. Returning to ROBERT NESTA MARLEY we get the letters R, B, R, T, N, S, T, M, R, L, Y. Note that we count Y as a consonant and not a vowel in this case. Within numerology Y is always considered a consonant if it is next to a vowel with which it forms the same syllable. So it is in this example, where it functions to produce an "ee" sound.  R+B+R+T = 9+2+9+2 = 22 = 2+2 = 4  N+S+T = 5+1+2 = 8  M+R+L+Y = 4+9+3+7 = 23 = 2+3 = 5  4+8+5 = 17 = 1+7 = 8

Article in English: If the webcam's program didn't automatically open upon completion of installation, you'll need to look up the program and open it manually. The webcam's program will usually have the webcam company's name in it, so try searching for the company (e.g., "youcam") in Start (Windows) or Spotlight (Mac). Many webcams have a clip on the base that allows the webcam to latch onto the top of a computer monitor. If your webcam doesn't have such a clip, look for a flat, elevated space in which to place the webcam. In the middle of your webcam program's window, you should see real-time footage from your webcam. Using the footage as a reference, adjust your webcam to point at your face from your preferred angle. While speaking into the webcam, look for spikes in activity next to the "Audio" (or similarly titled) section in the webcam's window. If you don't see any activity here, your webcam's microphone isn't working and might need to be enabled from the webcam's or computer's settings. Check your webcam's manual to see specific instructions on how to address lack of audio input. Most webcam programs will have a Settings section (or a gear-shaped icon) somewhere in the window. You can click on this section to view and change settings like contrast, low-light response, and so on. The settings location and options will vary from webcam to webcam. Consult your webcam's manual if you can't find the settings section.
