Article in English: If the growth might not be a wart, treating it as one can make it worse or cause potential health issues. It’s best to visit your doctor for a diagnostic exam to make sure your growth is a wart and receive proper treatment.Keep in mind that some skin cancers can look like a wart, so it’s important that you’re sure what you have is actually a wart. Your doctor can treat the warts in their office or may prescribe wart medication for you to use at home. Which treatment they recommend will depend on your preferences, the type of wart you have, the previous treatment methods you’ve used, and where the wart is located. Here are the typical treatments used for warts:  Prescription-strength salicylic acid removes the wart layer-by-layer. Your doctor may prescribe this treatment alone or with cryotherapy.  Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen. A blister will form under and around the wart, which helps slough off the wart. However, you may experience discomfort, discoloration, and blistering.  Trichloroacetic acid can be used in office to treat the wart after your doctor scrubs off the top layer of skin. This treatment can cause discomfort and may require several applications. Your doctor likely won’t recommend it unless nothing else works.  Surgery can remove a wart that is really bothering you, such as one on your face. Your doctor will cut away the wart, which may result in minor scarring.  Laser treatments can cut off blood supply to the wart, causing it to die. However, this treatment may cause discomfort and scarring.

Article in English: If the guess-word is “book,” you might give clues like “something you use to study in school,” and “a large collection of words that has a main plot.” You score points when your teammates guess the word. You can't use any part of the word or any of the taboo words that are listed.  If you get to a word that you don't know, or your teammates are having a hard time guessing it, you can skip the card. However, if you do skip a card, that point goes to the other team. If the guess-word is cookbook, then you can't use “cook” or “book” within any of your clues. Your teammates must guess the exact word, so if they get it close, or get part of the word, you need to keep giving them clues until they get it exactly right. Each card includes some of the most obvious related words and designates those as taboo words, meaning that you are not allowed to say them. For “book,” the taboo words might be “pages,” “read,” “story,” “paperback,”and “text.” You'll lose a point if you say a taboo word, so it's important to be careful. Each round, one player on the non-guessing team is a watchdog making sure you don't use any of the taboo words. Take turns having each player on each team be the one to hold the buzzer and keep track of taboo word use. When you hear the clue giver say one of the taboo words, you buzz them. Put the card into a discard pile for that round. Put skipped cards into the same discard pile. One pile is for cards that the guessing team got correct. The second pile is for cards that the clue-giver skipped and cards on which the clue-giver accidently said the guess-word or any of the taboo words. Make sure that everyone is clear on which pile is which as they set cards down. It is important to keep the piles separated for accurate scoring. The clue-giving team gets one point for all of the cards that were guessed correctly. The opponents get one point for each card in the discard pile. The discard pile includes skipped cards and any cards the clue-giver got buzzed on.  You can decide to play to a certain score,...

Article in English: If the hammer is not currently half-cocked, then put it into that position now. Point the gun in a safe direction. Do not point it at yourself or at anyone else. Ideally, you should point it down range. Snap a cap on each nipple with the gun still pointed down range. Note that you may need to pinch the cap to ensure a secure fit. Switch the hammer of the gun to its fully cocked position. At this point, the gun is live. You will be able to pull the trigger and fire it. Point the gun at an appropriate target and fire off each cap.  For percussion caps, an appropriate target would be a leaf, blade of grass, or sheet of paper positioned roughly 1 foot (30.5 cm) away. The target should move. If it doesn't, there might be an obstruction in the barrel. Do not load the gun until the obstruction is cleared. Firing off percussion caps will further clear and dry each chamber. Make sure that there are no unfired caps left on any of the nipples before continuing. You also need to remove any busted or fragmented caps at this time.

Article in English: If the hamster has a discharge from his eyes or nose, if he sneezes, or if he is hunched up and breathing using his stomach muscles, then he may have respiratory disease. There are certain things you can do to help with this.  Make sure his bedding is clean at all times. Bedding soiled with urine gives off ammonia, which is extremely irritating to the respiratory system. Use a spoon or a scoop to spot clean any wet bedding, and make sure the cage smells clean. If you can smell urine or ammonia, then the effect is a thousand times worse for the hamster. Spot clean every day, but try to do this in such a way that it does not disturb your hamster too much and add to his stress. Check that the room temperature is within the recommended range and make adjustments accordingly. If the hamster has a sticky nose, try and wipe it clean with a damp cotton ball. This helps to keep the airway clear, which makes it more comfortable for the hamster to breath. Teeth problems can make your hamster feel unwell. A clear or milky discharge from the eyes can be a sign of overgrown teeth roots. Check to see if your hamster is eating properly. If he isn't, then a vet check is advisable to make sure there isn't a problem with overgrown teeth. If there is a problem with this, the vet can trim them back. If this is the case and the teeth are not trimmed, the hamster may progressively starve because he is unable to eat.  Another sign of dental problems is a wet chin or neck. This happens when spurs of teeth dig into the cheek or tongue, making it painful to swallow. Prevention is easier than a cure. This means you should give your hamster suitable items to chew on in order to keep his teeth short. Avoid giving too many soft foods, such as strawberries or bananas, to your hamster because they don't need much chewing. Instead, give him dry pelleted food and a block of wood for him to gnaw on. Also give him cardboard tubes or boxes, which will keep his teeth healthy. Plus, he will love to demolish them. If your hamster has a wet tail, he...

Article in English: If the hernia's symptoms come on suddenly, the first thing the doctor will do is try to manage your pain. In the case of an incarcerated hernia, the doctor may first try to physically push the hernia back into its original position. This can reduce the acute inflammation and swelling and provide more time to allow for an elective surgical repair. Strangulated hernias need immediate surgery to avoid tissue cell death and organ tissue puncture. Even if the hernia is not terribly dangerous, your doctor may recommend elective surgery to repair it before it progresses to a more dangerous state.  Studies have shown that preemptive elective surgery lower morbidity and mortality significantly. Depending on the type of hernia and the individual patient, there's a wide range in the likelihood of a hernia recurring.  Groin (pediatric): These hernias have a low recurrence rate of <3% after surgical treatment. They can sometimes heal spontaneously on their own in infants. Groin (adult): Depending on the experience level of the surgeon operating on this hernia, the recurrence rate after surgery can be anywhere from 0-10%. Incisional: About 3%-5% of patients will have a hernia recurrence after their first surgery.  If the incisional hernias are larger, patients may see rates of up to 20%-60%. Umbilical (pediatric): These types of hernias can usually resolve on their own spontaneously. Umbilical (adult): There is a higher recurrence of umbilical hernias in adults.  Usually, a patient can expect up to 11% recurrence rate after surgery.

Article in English: If the hole is close to an electrical outlet or phone line, make sure you check inside it so you don't hit any wires while you work. Feel around the hole with your hands, or peer inside using a flashlight. If you find a wire, take note of where it is located and plan to work carefully around it when you repair the hole. Use a ruler and a level to measure and draw a rectangle around the perimeter of the hole, then cut it out using a utility knife or drywall saw. This will enable you to neatly patch the hole with a piece of drywall the precise size you need, rather than making an irregular patch. Cut the backer boards about 4 inches (10.2 cm) longer than the height of the hole. Line the first backer board vertically along the left edge of the hole. Use one hand to hold it in place tightly while using a drill to screw two drywall screws through the intact drywall just below the hole, and two through the drywall just above the hole. Use the same technique to install another backer board along the right edge of the hole.  Pine or other soft wood backer boards work well for repairing drywall, since they're easy to screw into. Be sure to hold the boards in such a way that the screws won't scratch or puncture your hands when they pop through the backer boards. Measure the thickness of the drywall and purchase a piece of drywall large enough to patch the hole. Cut it to size using the drywall saw so that it will fit neatly into the hole. Place the drywall patch into the hole and screw it into the backing boards on either side, spacing the screws 6 inches (15.2 cm) apart. Most hardware and home goods stores sell scraps of drywall in different shapes and sizes. Look for one large enough to patch your hole so you don't have to buy a complete sheet of drywall, which will probably be more than you need. Load a joint knife with joint compound and apply it to joints, the seams where the patch and the wall connect. Quickly apply paper tape to the joints and use a taping knife to smooth the tape into place, making sure there...

Article in English: If the hole is frayed into the seam line or somewhere in the middle of the garment (other than a seam), then you will need to reinforce the area. Cut to size a small piece of fabric of the same weight and color of the garment. Lay the patching fabric under the hole, right side up. Then, bring the edges of the hole as close together as possible, without puckering the hole. Use a small zig zag stitch on the sewing machine to stitch around the edges of hole, catching as much fabric (patch and garment) as possible to make the patch hold. This isn't going to be a "pretty fix," but it should be serviceable. If the garment is casual, you can buy extra fabric in a contrasting color or pattern and sew patches in several areas to make the hole patch look decorative. Do this patch from the outside of the garment, or use appliqués in the same manner to add a designer touch.

Article in English: If the hole is in a visible part of the garment, prepare the self patch from the inside. If this isn't possible, purchase fabric as close in color to the garment as possible in a fabric with the same properties. Alternately, pick a patch that stands out. For some, patched clothing is a stylistic choice.

Article in English: If the horse's mane is dirty, wash it with horse shampoo. Do not use conditioner, which makes the mane slick and difficult to braid. If your horse's mane is thick, "pulling" it with a mane comb will make it much tidier and easier to handle. If the mane is already thin, you can instead trim it to an even length with a blade. Manes are typically cut to no longer than a hand (about 4 inches, or 10 cm), although this is less important for button braids. Ideally, washing and pulling should be done at least a day before braiding. . Tie your horse in a quiet area free from distractions. Encourage the horse to stand still with a hay net, unless your horse tends to move while eating. Leave standing room to braid the mane on the right side of the horse, which is traditional for hunter and dressage competitions. For jumper competitions, you may braid the mane on whichever side it falls naturally. Before you begin, there are a few steps that can make the process easier:  Sweep hay and other ground cover away from the horse so you can find dropped objects, especially if you are using a needle. Place a stool next to the horse if you cannot reach the horse's neck easily. Working with the mane at waist level might be easiest. Put down a container for your tools, or wear an apron or overalls with a large pocket. Take a soft body brush, and dip it in water, egg white, or hair gel for horses, to keep the mane flat and easy to work with. Brush gently to remove all tangles. Continue on to any one of the sections below, or use these tips to decide which you want to try:  The band method makes easy, dangling braids, best for short manes. The yarn method is harder, but makes sturdy, attractive looped braids. Sewing creates small "button braids" often used in dressage. You'll need to use bands or yarn first before you can sew these on. A running braid is quick and easy, but not suitable for competitions.

Article in English: If the host doesn't mind, of course. If anything, they should be grateful that you're taking some of the heat off them. And, really, veggie dishes are delicious -- other people will be eating them too!  Wonders can be had with pumpkin, potatoes, beans, and pasta dishes. Vegetarianism is really the diet of the future (preaching to the choir, eh?); you could spend days online looking at recipes before you hit your second lap. Start your own tradition. Acorn squash, anyone? Do you have a veggie recipe you love? It could become part of your family's Thanksgiving. More and more people are becoming health concerned -- or at least trying to avoid gaining weight over the holidays! Many health-conscious stores (like Whole Foods) do Thanksgiving dishes (and entire meals) that are catered to vegetarians and vegans. So if you don't feel like whiling away the hours on dem Internets looking up kale and lentil recipes, know that someone else can totally do the work for you. Whole Foods even offer Thanksgiving vegetarian cooking classes. Do you know how to massage kale? Make cashew cream? Useful stuff! Since you're only able to eat a portion of what's at the table, you have every right to jump on those vegetarian dishes. If you're sitting at a table of 10 and the mashed potatoes are rotating to the left, you may be subject to slim pickings by the time it makes its way over to you. It's not rude -- you need to eat! Just because you're vegetarian does not make you healthy. Eating a dozen rolls on turkey day and calling it good isn't the idea here. Make sure you load up on a variety of dishes (if at all possible) and get in your vitamins and nutrients. Think veggies, not rolls and dessert! The fact of the matter is that this is one meal. If a little meat gets in, that's 1 meal out of the thousand that you ate this year. That's .1%. The industry won't reap the benefits, the animals won't spurn you, and your vegan friends won't condemn you. While you should stick to your principles, don't let your dietary constrictions ruin your...

Article in English: If the host has clarified that you can help yourself to certain things, ask for the location and for any special rules, tricks or quirks that you need to be aware of. For example, if your host is happy for you to make your own meals, get your own breakfast and eat snacks, ask where the food and utensils are, what's expected by way of replenishing used foods and if there is anything you need to be aware of when cleaning up, such as special washing methods for fragile items, keeping cupboard doors child-locked, etc. Don't be afraid to ask again whenever needed. It's better to know than to go ahead and break or ruin something in the house. Put food containers back where you found them. Make use of cleaning items to clean up after yourself. For example, use the toilet brush to keep the toilet clean, squeegee the shower after washing and lift bathmats off the floor to dry. Keep doors and windows as you found them, or ask whether it's okay to position them differently.  Ask about water and power restrictions. Don't be greedy about usage; find out in advance. Ask before making calls using their landline or downloading/streaming content using their broadband. If there are additional costs involved, offer to reimburse them. Think about the fact that if you did this at home, you'd have to restore or renew the items/services, and as such, it's a cost to your host. Your host may not wish this but it is polite to offer sincerely. Avoid wandering around the house naked, but if your host is happy with PJs till noon, that's fine for you too. If your host eats dinner in front of TV, then you can too but if they prefer the table, then do so along with them. And so on. If your hosts take their shoes off at the door, do so too. Ask if their companion animals have specific quirks, needs or fears and how you can be careful and considerate around them. Offer to help feed the pets if that's something you'd like to do. Don't be in their way, don't interfere with their daily plans and make it clear that you don't expect them to be...

Article in English: If the image that you want to transfer currently exists only digitally, you’ll need to print it. For best results, use only a laser printer. Do not transfer an image that has been printed from an inkjet printer.  Alternately, you could transfer an image from a magazine page, newspaper page, or a photograph that has been developed from film. If you’re printing your image at a local Kinkos or other printing shop, confirm that the printer they’re using is not an inkjet. Cut off a piece of clear packing tape and apply it directly over the printed image or magazine photo. Make sure that the piece of tape completely covers the image you want to transfer. If your image is larger than the width of the packing tape, you won’t be able to transfer it. Re-print the image so that it’s slightly narrower than the packing tape, which is roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm). Carefully scrape the edge of a credit card along the taped image so that bubbles are worked out from the side of the tape. If there are any air bubbles caught between the paper image and the packing tape, there will be gaps in the image once it’s transferred to glass. If you don’t have a credit card handy, use a similar sized object, such as your driver’s license. Begin by cutting away excess paper from the printed photo (or magazine image). Then, carefully cut out the image itself. If the image has curves or sharp angles, carefully cut around these so you’re left holding only the tape-covered image.  If the image is square or rectangular, cutting will be relatively easy. If you don’t have scissors nearby, a utility knife will work as well.

Article in English: If the ingrown nail is minor, you can lift the nail yourself. Soak the nail to soften it, and then place something underneath the nail to help separate the nail from the skin so it can stop growing into the skin. Try putting clean bits of cotton gauze or cotton balls or dental floss underneath the edge of the ingrown fingernail.  If you are using cotton, take a small piece of cotton and roll it between your fingers so that it forms a cotton tube about ½ inch long. It shouldn’t be too thick, but thick enough to lift the nail away from the skin. Tape one end of the cotton tube on the side of your finger. Lift the corner of the ingrown nail up and out with the opposite hand. Work the free end of the cotton tube under the corner of the nail and out the other side so that the cotton is between the skin and the nail and lifts the nail away from the skin. This can be painful and it can be awkward. The taped end is there to help you maneuver the cotton tube under the corner of the nail. You may need someone’s help in placing the cotton. You can use a dab of a topical antibiotic ointment on your finger to prevent infections. Spread the ointment over the area with a clean Q-tip, then cover with a clean bandage. You should change the bandage and apply more antibiotic ointment daily. Infected ingrown fingernails can cause a lot of pain. To help with this, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for daily dosages. Try acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), or naproxen sodium (Aleve) to help with pain.

Article in English: If the ink stamp is light enough, an eraser by itself might do the trick. This will better protect the paper. Pencil erasers are fine as long as they're still soft. If you’re not making any progress after about five minutes, switch to something more abrasive. Any type will work as long as the grit is between 150 and 400. The lower the grit, the higher the abrasiveness. If you’re using thin paper (such as notebook paper), opt for the highest grit possible. Make sure it measures about 1 by 1 inch (2.5 by 2.5 cm). This will be small enough to focus on the ink stamp without affecting the surrounding area. Place several sheets of scrap paper on your work surface. Pile them one on top of the other. This is to cushion your paper from the hard surface of the table so you may avoid tears. The number of sheets will depend on how thin your working paper is. Make sure your work surface is solid. A table should be fine. Clear away anything you won’t need. Place it face-up on top of the scrap paper. Hold it down firmly with your free hand. Be sure to use all of your hand and not just your fingertips. Position this hand so that the inked area of the paper is visible between your thumb and index finger. Make sure the paper is perfectly flat. Work away from your body. Use slow and gentle strokes. Avoid pressing too hard. Be patient. This method can be time-consuming.  As you sand, hold the paper up to the light to make sure you're not in any danger of sanding through. When the sandpaper feels less gritty, you can clean it by holding it up and flicking the back of it. Try erasing the ink as it becomes lighter. This mainly helps with any smearing effects from the sanding. Continue the process. Keep sanding the stamp. As the marks lighten, you can use the eraser to remove what remains. Keep in mind the paper is weaker where you have sanded it, so be as gentle and patient as possible.

Article in English: If the introduction is formal, say "Hello, I'm [first name][last name]."  If it's informal, say "Hi, I'm [first name].  Immediately after you've stated your name, ask for the other person's name by saying "What’s your name?" in a pleasant tone. When you learn the other person's name, repeat it by saying "It's a pleasure to meet you, Pedro" or "Nice to meet you, Caroline." Repeating the person’s name will help you remember it, and give the introduction a more personal touch. or other culturally appropriate greeting. Most cultures have a form of physical contact to accompany a greeting. In the United States, it is often a handshake. Be sure to keep the handshake brief and not too loose (floppy) or firm (bone-breaking).  Be aware of cultural differences. For instance, it is considered rude to firmly shake hands in China. It is often  appropriate to greet with a hug, especially if you’re meeting a friend of a friend or an in-law. Hugs show more openness than a handshake. Women more often than men may prefer a hug to a handshake. In many cultures, it is culturally appropriate to greet with a kiss. In South America, for instance, all women are greeted with one kiss, and in France, women are greeted with one kiss on each cheek.  If you are unsure of the appropriate greeting, follow the other person’s lead or watch how other people greet around you. It’s important to show interest in the other person. Ask where she is from, what she does for a living, or ask about any common bonds you may have. Ask about what she loves to do and the passions she has in life. Show that you are engaged and interested in what she has to say.  You may tell a little bit of your background in order to engage  conversation and share about yourself.

Article in English: If the key is beginning to wear, you may still be able to engage the pins needed to start the vehicle by inserting the key all the way, then pulling it back out slightly.  Try to pull the key back out 1/16 of an inch, or approximately the width of a nickel, then attempt to turn it again.  If this works, the key is likely over worn. You should still replace the key as soon as you can before it stops working. If pulling the key out a bit fails to make the key turn, try wiggling it up and down slightly to engage the pins in the ignition.  Be careful not to apply too much pressure.  Wiggling the key can make the key contact the pins from a different angle, which may allow you start the vehicle.  If wiggling the key works, it means the teeth on the key are too worn to properly engage the pins. Replace the key as soon as possible if this works before the key stops working entirely. If the key is bent, it may make it impossible to insert it completely or turn the ignition cylinder.  Lay the key down on a flat, sturdy surface like a strong table.  Take a heavy rubber or wooden mallet and strike the key from above to flatten it against the table.  You may have to strike the key multiple times in order to flatten it entirely. Avoid using pliers or a vice to straighten the key, as you may bend it too far in the opposite direction and reduce the strength of the key. If there was any debris stuck to the key when you inserted it, it may have gotten caught in the pins of the ignition cylinder.  Insert the key completely, then slide it back out.  Repeat the process a few times to try to move any debris that may be caught in the cylinder. If this works, the issue will likely continue to occur until the debris is cleaned out from the ignition cylinder. If the key is too damaged to work, you will not be able to have it copied.  A copy of a worn or damaged key will also fail to start the vehicle.  Instead, you will need to have a new key cut by a dealership that services your make and model vehicle.  Depending on the vehicle,...

Article in English: If the kiss doesn't feel right for some reason, you don't have to freak out or jump back. When the kiss is over, take one big step back, clearly showing that kissing is over. It can also help to put your hands non-confrontationally in front of you, palms down, to send a message that creates space. Passions are going to be high right now, so keep this short and sweet. A simple "I don't think this is a good idea right now," is often the best answer, as it keeps you from being mean or starting an argument. Simply state that you don't want to kiss. In circumstances where one or both of you are passionate and emotional, it is usually best to avoid giving reasons or starting arguments. Keep things simple for now, knowing you can explain later. There is no reason to linger around now. You can explain your reasoning later, if need be. For now, just say that "you're sorry" and move on, separating yourself. It will make it easier for everyone to move on if you're not in the same room. If you have a friend who got a little drunk, and ex who had other ideas, or a platonic buddy who wanted something more, then you may feel comfortable explaining why you don't want to get romantic. Know, however, that you don't owe anyone an explanation if you don't want to give one -- simply not wanting to kiss someone is more than enough of a reason not to kiss them.

Make sure to squeeze all the air out before you freeze it. You can also use a bag of frozen vegetables. Choose ones that are small and uniform in size, such as peas or corn. Note that once you've used these veggies as a cold pack, you won't want to eat them (it's not a good idea to allow frozen food to defrost and then re-freeze it). For frequent or chronic pain, heat works better than ice. Use a heating pad, a hot bath or a shower to do this.  Apply heat for no more than 15–20 minutes at a time, up to three times a day. If moist heat is preferred, you can warm a damp towel for thirty seconds in the microwave. Do not heat the towel too much, or you could burn yourself. Be careful of steam in particular, as steam can cause severe burns. Poor posture, especially while sitting for long periods of time, can cause back pain and knots. Try to be conscious of slouching — that's putting constant pressure on the same muscles.  If you work at a desk, take time to get up and walk around (and stretch) every hour or so. Keep your head from slumping forward when you stand or sit. Slumping can put strain on your shoulders and back and contribute to knots.  If you lift weights, monitor your form. Putting weights down too quickly causes the muscles to forcibly contract, jarring them. When it comes to exercises that can strengthen your back, yoga is certainly up there. It can relieve back soreness in addition to strengthening your muscles and increasing your flexibility. Here are a few positions to try:   The downward-facing dog will help your lower back. It targets your back extensors — those muscles that help you stand and lift objects. Start on all fours. Make sure your knees are...

Article in English: If the label is stuck firmly to the jar, soak the jar in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then peel the label off. You will likely have lots of paper and/or glue residue left over, which is fine. During this time, the oil will penetrate any glue residue and dissolve it. It will make it easier to remove later on. If you see any residue, you can wipe it off using a paper towel and a few drops of oil.

Article in English: If the laundry basket is too narrow for the wearer to slip on, you may also need to cut a straight line down the back. The basket will keep its shape, but you will be able to spread it apart enough to slip on if needed. If you cannot find a round laundry basket, you could also use a large, plastic, bucket-shaped toy tub. Hook two white suspenders to the top of the basket and adjust them so that they can cross over the wearer's shoulders.  You could also tie two cords or heavy-duty ribbons to the basket to mimic straps. If using a solid plastic toy tub, use a hot glue gun to glue the straps in place. Each fold should be about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) wide.  Measure the height and circumference of the basket before proceeding. The board you use should be at least as tall as the basket and three times as long as the circumference. If using standard size poster board, you may need to use 5 to 6 sheets. Staple the sheets of poster board together as you fold them. If possible, hide the staples inside the folds. You could also use heavy foil-based wrapping paper instead of poster board. Make an accordion fold by taking your first section of poster board and folding it over the remaining board. Make another section that is equal in width, but fold the board in the opposite direction so that the end of the board is still visible. Continue on in this pattern until the entire board is folded. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the folded board onto the basket. Draw a line of glue onto each inside fold of the board and press it to the basket to fix it in place. Instead of using glue, you could also attach the the board by punching small holes 2 inches (5 cm) away from the top and bottom of the folded board. Punch the holes on the inner folds to conceal them. Loop pipe cleaners or craft wire through these holes and around the cross bars of the basket.

Article in English: If the leather is wet, or appears to be covered in mold or mildew, you need to remove any dampness quickly. The moisture can damage the leather permanently and create a smell that will be very difficult to get out. There are several simple methods for drying out the leather:  Place the leather in a spot in your home that gets indirect sun. Direct contact with harsh sunlight can cause the leather to crack, chip and wear out. Choose a spot that is by a window that filters sunlight or that is behind a screen. Use a blow-dryer on a low heat setting. Avoid bringing the blow-dryer too close to the leather as this can cause it to crack or chip. Run the blow-dryer at a distance over the leather to soak up the moisture and prevent big water stains on the leather. Use a clean dry cloth to wipe the leather dry, especially if you are trying to treat a pair of leather shoes, a leather jacket, or a leather purse. Skip alcohol based products or odor-masking products, like perfume, and use a clean dry cloth to give the item a good wipe. The chemicals in these products can get into the pores of the leather and possibly damage the item. The porous quality of newspaper and packing paper means they are both great for absorbing any bad smells in your leather item. Always check that the leather item is completely dry and that you are using dry newspapers. The loose fiber in newspaper makes it softer and more absorbent than other options, like office paper.  Crumple up several sheets of newspaper in a box and place the leather item in the newspaper. Close the box and leave it sealed for one to two days. Check the leather item to see if the newspaper has effectively drawn out the bad smell. You may need to leave the item in the newspaper for another day. The acid in the vinegar will help to counteract bad odors and the smell of the vinegar, which could be a bad odor to some, will also dissipate with the any other bad smells in the leather.  Before you use any acid based cleanser on the leather item, do a spot test to make sure it...

Article in English: If the light was recently on, wait until it is cool to the touch. This shouldn't take more than five minutes for a normal light bulb. Halogen lights may take twenty minutes. The strip should be about 12 inches (30 cm) long, or half as long as your arm. Fold a short section of the duct tape over and stick it to itself. Repeat on the other side. These folded "handles" should be long enough for you to grip, with a sticky segment in between them. If you find it easier, you can wrap the duct tape in a circle instead, with the adhesive on the outside. Make the circle large enough to fit your hand through it. Hold the handles of the duct tape and press the sticky segment against the flat surface of the recessed bulb. Once the tape sticks to the light bulb, you should have enough leverage to get it loose. Almost all light bulbs use standard screw threading, so turn the bulb counterclockwise to unscrew it. If it doesn't budge, read the method below for help removing the surrounding collar. Once the light bulb has emerged enough for you to grip the sides, pull off the duct tape. It's faster at this point to spin the bulb out by hand. Screw in the new light bulb as far as you can by hand. When it's nearly flush, stick on the duct tape and turn clockwise to tighten to a secure fit.

Article in English: If the live bait needs to remain alive and natural looking for as long as possible, you can attach it with a secure bridle rather than a damaging hook. Have a more experienced fisher make a bridle for you, or follow the instructions for Making a Bridle to create your own. You can do this through the eye sockets above or in front of the eyes (not through them), or through a hole in its back near the head. You can use an open eye live bait needle instead of a crochet needle. Use the end of the needle to catch the loop end of the bridle and draw it through the fish. Keep hold of the loop so the fish's wriggling doesn't pull it back out again. You should now be able to let go of the line and just keep hold the hook and fish. This takes up slack in the line and brings the hook closer to the fish. Do this until there's only a small gap between the fish's head and the twists in the line. Thread the hook point between the two sides of the loop, just above the fish's head. If the bridle rig was made correctly, you should be able to use your live bait for hours without it escaping or dying. But let's hope you catch something before then!

Article in English: If the lock in question is not attached to your own home, secure the property-owner's permission before proceeding.  Breaking and entering is a serious crime in most places that can result in mandatory jail time. The ideal card will be a plastic card that is both stiff and somewhat flexible.  Avoid using your actual credit or debit card, as it may get damaged in the process.  A grocery store loyalty card makes an ideal choice, as does a laminated library card.  Even a stiff business card will work on some locks.

Article in English: If the man is attracted to you, then chances are that you'll be able to catch him staring at you from across the room. Of course, you shouldn't try too hard to see if you can catch him doing this, or he'll thinking that you're the one staring at him (which you are…sort of). If you look up and find him holding your gaze a few times, then he's probably attracted to you. Bonus points if he quickly looks away or looks embarrassed. If you do lock eyes and he keeps staring at you in a way that makes you blush or flush a bit, then he may be lingering because he's really attracted to you and wants more of you. Of course, if he's more shy, he may look away for a bit, but if he does stare at you for a few extra seconds, then there's a good chance he's attracted to you. If the man is attracted to you, then he will subtly -- or not so subtly -- turn his body toward you when you're speaking. This is just part of the basic rules of attraction. If he likes you, then he'll want to turn his shoulders, face, arms and body in your direction. If he's turned away from you or holding back, then he may not be as interested. If you see him playing with the buttons on his shirt, blushing, picking at his nails, playing with an object on his desk, moving his feet from side to side, or generally acting a little bit antsy, then there's a good chance that he's doing it because he's attracted to you. These are all classic signs of nervousness, and if you make him a little bit nervous, then yeah, he'll be fidgeting more than he normally would around you because he's excited by your presence. If he's really attracted to you, then he'll do everything in his power to get closer to you. This might mean he'll put his hand on the small of your back when you're walking into a room, he might give you a light pat on the shoulder or the arm, or he might even stand so close to you that your feet or legs touch and he doesn't move away from you right away. He might even move a strand of hair away from your face if he really wants to get close to you....

Article in English: If the mat won't break apart or loosen with your fingers, the rake, or comb, try a mat splitter. Keep holding the mat at the base. Use the mat splitter to cut the mat into smaller strips. After you cut it into smaller sections, try to work through it with your fingers or a comb.  Use a sawing motion when you cut the hair.  Be careful using a mat splitter. It has a razor sharp edge and can seriously injure your dog. Always watch out for the ears, folds of skin, loose skin, and the tip of the tail. When everything else fails, try clippers. Use the clippers to slowly shave away the mat. This may leave a bare patch where you have shaved the coat. Make sure to watch carefully as you trim away the mat. Do not cut too close to your dog's skin. If the mats are too difficult to remove, or your dog is not cooperating, take your dog to the groomers. They can shave the dog or use their knowledge, experience, and tools to remove the mats easier than you can. Though some people suggest using scissors, you should refrain from using them on your pet. You can seriously injure your dog, especially around the sensitive areas like the ears. Scissors can cut the skin or pull and strain it. Even dematting tools can be dangerous due to their razor-sharp blades. If you are uncomfortable using these sharp objects on your dog, then take him to a professional.

Article in English: If the missed homework is for a class late in the day, you might be able to do the work before school, during another class, or during lunch or a break. You can hand in the wrong assignment—such as one from another class—or an old one from the same class. By the time your teacher notices the mistake, you will be able to complete the real homework, or just turn it in the next day and say you are sorry about the mix-up. Copy answers from a friend so you have something to turn in. Make sure your friend is ok with helping. This also only works for assignments where it is expected that students will have the same or similar answers. In some schools, even copying something like homework can merit a suspension. Remember to evaluate the situation and make a good decision as to whether or not you will copy homework off of a peer. Know that in many cases, you’ll need a written excuse from a doctor or clinic to prove to your teacher that you had to seek medical care, and weren’t able to complete your homework. A dangerous move, you can forge a note from a parent explaining why you couldn't do your homework. If you decide to forge one, be warned that your teacher might know it’s a fake. If you are caught, you face punishment from both your parents and teacher.

Article in English: If the nail polish you're trying to loosen up is more than two years old, you're unlikely to fix the problem. These nail polishes are well past their expiration date and you can probably not use them again. Save yourself some time and simply throw out old polishes. Nail polish will last longer if you store it correctly. It needs to be stored in a cool, dry place in your home. Keep nail polish away from direct sunlight. Many people store nail polish in the fridge. This is not a good idea. It alters the chemical composition of the nail polish, causing it to dry out faster.

Article in English: If the opponent plays first and starts with an O in a corner, always put your first X in the center. Your second X should be placed on an edge, not a corner, unless you need to block your opponent from getting three in a row. Using this strategy, every game should be a draw. Theoretically, you can win from this position, but your opponent would have to make a huge mistake, such as not seeing that you have two X's in a row. In this section, your opponent is still playing O's, but remember they get to play first this time. When your opponent starts by putting down an O in the center, place your first X in a corner. After that, just keep blocking your opponent from scoring and the game will be a draw. There is essentially no way for you to win from this position, unless your opponent stops trying to win or stop you from winning! Most of the time, your opponent will start with one of the moves above. However, if your opponent puts down the first O on an edge, not on a corner or center, you have a small chance to win. Put your first X in the center. If your opponent puts the second O on the opposite edge, making a row or column that reads O-X-O, put your second X in a corner. Then, if your opponent puts the third O in the edge that is adjacent to your X, making a line that reads O-X-O, put your third X in the empty square to block their row of two O's. From here, you can always win with your fourth X. If at any point, your opponent doesn't make the exact move described above, you'll have to settle for a draw. Just start blocking their moves and neither of you will win.

Article in English: If the opportunity is business-related or involves financial decisions – anything from whether to take on a new babysitting client to whether to get your groceries delivered instead of going to the store yourself – you will want to calculate the "opportunity cost."  Start by calculating how much one hour of your time is worth when you spend that hour doing paid work. For each opportunity that presents itself, calculate how much the opportunity will cost as part of your decision about whether or not to say no.  For example. You are normally paid $15 per hour for your work. Having your groceries delivered costs $10, but going to the grocery store takes two hours. If you are choosing between picking up an extra two hours at work or doing the shopping yourself, you would probably choose the work hours ($30) and pay the $10 delivery charge. Remember that opportunity cost should be only one part of your decision making process. It can help you to understand the financial aspects of a dilemma, but there are usually other issues to consider when making a complicated decision. If someone asks you to take on a task or a project you aren’t ready for, then you might not be able to do a good job. You might find it very stressful to complete the task or project, and the person who asked you might not be happy with the result. If you say no now and keep working on preparing yourself, then next time you will be able to confidently say yes – knowing that you will do a great job. Or maybe the task or project is just not a good fit for you. Don’t set yourself up to fail. If you are already very busy, think about whether or not you have the time to do an adequate job of whatever is being asked of you. For example, if you are a busy student with many commitments already, then taking on a new part-time job or volunteer position might not be the best idea if it is going to compromise your ability to complete school assignments. The same principle goes for people who are running their own business: if taking on a new client will...

Article in English: If the option is available, using certain prescription drugs in a controlled and careful environment can be a more effective method of kicking heroin for good. You can monitor your intake more carefully, curbing the withdrawal symptoms and keeping yourself feeling relatively normal while you quit heroin.  While you run the risk of further addictions to other drugs, learning more about "warm turkey" methods can help ensure that you don't fall into their possible traps. The problem with warm turkeying, as opposed to quitting cold turkey, is that it costs money you might not have, and requires health insurance you might not be able to get. Call the Substance Abuse hotline 1-800-662-HELP (4357) to find out more about free or reduced clinics in your area you can learn more about and speak with to explore your options.  To avoid becoming addicted to other prescription drugs, don't rely on the same old chain of dealers that resulted in you having to quit heroin in the first place. Don't try it on your own. Do it the smart way, by getting the professional medical help that's available to you and taking drugs as recommended. . Methadone is an opioid agonist that's administered in a regulated manner at clinics, many of which are free or quite cheap, to help heroin users who hope to quit manage the symptoms of withdrawal and taper down in a supervised manner. It'll still be up to you to negotiate your quitting, but getting drug tested and checked out by physicians while you do it can help curb the psychological trauma of heroin withdrawal for some users. You're doing the right thing.  Try to start with as low a dose as possible. Some clinics start with doses in excess of 70mg, making it "too easy" on some users who hope to quit more quickly and effectively. Communicate with the staff and let them know your intention of quitting, not dragging out the process. If you're healthy enough for a lower dose, try to force yourself to start smaller. It's unfortunately common for heroin users to become dependent on methadone, or...

У врача узнайте о других лекарственных препаратах, которые помогают облегчить ломку (если вы не хотите принимать метадон и у вас нет денег на другие препараты). Большая проблема ослабления ломки в том, что наркоман продолжает принимать наркотики (хотя это и называется лекарственной терапией), а значит не перестает быть зависимым.

Article in English: If the pain from a pinched nerve is severe, your doctor may recommend that you take painkillers. You may be advised to take over-the-counter painkillers, or you may be prescribed stronger prescription painkillers.  Painkillers work by blocking and interfering with the pain signals going through the brain. If the pain signal does not reach the brain, then pain cannot be interpreted and felt. Examples of OTC painkillers include paracetamol and acetaminophen Examples of prescription painkillers include codeine and tramadol. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications) work by blocking specific body chemicals that cause an injured area to become inflamed. Examples of NSAIDs are Ibuprofen, Naproxen and Aspirin.  However, NSAIDs should not be taken in the first 48 hours of injury as they can delay healing. In the first 48 hours, inflammation is one of the body's compensatory mechanisms to the injury. NSAIDs can irritate the stomach, so they should always be taken with meals. Steroid injections can help to reduce inflammation and swelling, thereby allowing compressed nerves caused by inflammation to heal and recover. Steroid injections must be prescribed and administered by a doctor. The steroids will either be injected or administered through an IV. In some instances, you doctor will recommend that you wear a brace or splint on the affected hip. A brace or splint limits motion and allows the muscles to rest, relieving the pinched nerve and promoting healing. If all prior treatment measures fail, surgical intervention may be necessary to alleviate the pressure and compression of the nerves.

Article in English: If the paint has already dried on the skin, you will need additional measures to remove the stain. Start by washing the area with soap and warm water. Loosen the paint as much as possible to weaken its hold on the skin. Scrub the area lightly as you wash. Pat the area with a towel before proceeding to treat the spot so that the water on your skin doesn’t dilute the alcohol. Take a washcloth or large cotton ball swab. Douse the cloth or cotton ball with roughly an ounce of standard rubbing alcohol. Alcohol is a solvent for acrylic paint, which means it will start to break down the paint once it’s applied to the skin.  For ease of application, press the cloth or cotton swab to the mouth of the alcohol bottle and turn it upside down, soaking a compact circle perfect for scrubbing. Pure rubbing alcohol is one of the most highly recommended methods for removing paint from various surfaces. Dab the area with the washcloth or cotton ball to wet it and give the alcohol time to begin acting on the paint. Then, go over the paint spot with alcohol using small, circular strokes to coax the paint out of the crevices of the skin’s surface. Scrub the area until all paint is gone, reapplying alcohol as needed. You may have to scrub quite forcefully to reach paint that has settled deep into the skin. Once all traces of paint have been removed, wash and dry the area to clear it of any leftover rubbing alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is a mild irritant to the skin, and can cause redness and irritation if it is not rinsed away.

Article in English: If the parents don't return to the nest within a couple of hours or if you're sure the parents are not alive anymore, you'll need to call for help for the bird. If the bird has trouble moving or flapping its wings, it's likely injured. Also, if the bird is shivering, it may be in trouble. An injured bird is also a reason to make a call. It's actually illegal to keep and raise a wild bird. You must have special permits from both the local and federal governments to raise wild animals. Wildlife rehabilitators have the skills and training to care for baby birds. You can find one on your local government's wildlife websites, or you can try calling a local veterinarian or animal shelter, as they may know rehabilitators in the area. Ask for advice on how to feed and water the baby and how to keep it warm. Be patient with your questions, and ask for additional advice by saying, "Is there anything else that I should know (or be careful about)?"

Article in English: If the party you're throwing is a small dinner party for 4-12 people, there's no need to make a huge mix, and certainly no call for danceable music. Instead, help everyone relax and feel elegant by putting on some classic jazz. Not just any jazz album will do; look for famous performers, and lean towards variations on songs rather than original compositions (though these are also fine in moderation). You should only need a few albums' worth of music, at most.  Don't shuffle your jazz; instead, go through each album in turn, from beginning to end, preserving the intended mood. As for era, stick to the 20 years between 1951 and 1971. Jazz from this period has a classic jazz sound that most people find relaxing and sophisticated. Consider these albums as useful starting points: Solar Energy, Ray Brown Trio with Gene Harris; Time Out, Dave Brubeck Quartet; Kind of Blue, Miles Davis; Idle Moments, Grant Green.  You can also try an album of bossa nova (such as Antonio Jobim's excellent Wave) or other “relaxed” sounding music, but be careful not to make your guests feel as though they're listening to elevator music. This works best with a collection of CDs or LPs, but can be approximated with a digital music player. Before the party, set aside every album that's not suitable for the party, leaving only good party albums out in the main area. Put one on as guests begin to arrive, and leave the albums prominently displayed so that people can look through them. Offer to let people play albums, a few songs (or one side) at a time, one pick per person. Your guests will have another activity to play around with, and you can rest assured that only the chosen albums will be played. To be safe, don't leave out any albums that would be difficult or expensive to replace if broken. Parties have been the bane of many a breakable item. Themed mixes aren't only useful at theme parties; they're also a great way to show off a collection that has some depth, and can provide some additional structure to a more public event (like a...

Article in English: If the patient has done any of these things, wait to take the temperature for 10 minutes. Place the thermometer under the tongue to take an oral temperature only if the patient is at least 5 years old, conscious, lucid, able to breathe through the nose, and doesn't have a facial injury that would make it difficult to hold the thermometer under the tongue. Use a digital thermometer, not a glass thermometer. If the glass breaks, your or the patient may be cut, and if the thermometer contains mercury you or the patient may come in contact with it. Mercury is toxic. Use a thermometer strip on the forehead or put the thermometer under the patient's arm (axillary temperature) if you can't take an oral temperature. Thermometer strips and axillary temperatures are less accurate than other methods of taking a temperature. If you use a temperature strip, wait for the time specified in the instructions. Normal temperature is somewhere around 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius).

Whatever the suggestions of the specialist, make sure your friend or loved one follows the directions exactly.

Article in English: If the person doesn't look like he or she is preparing to hug you, then you may want to back off. If either of you requested the hug, then make the person you're hugging feel safe. Act as though the two of you are the only people who matter at the moment. The best way to judge how tightly or loosely to hug is to let whomever you're hugging indicate what they want by how hard they squeeze. If they are soft, be soft back; if they like bear hugs and squeeze tightly, hug back the same way. A hug is a powerful way to communicate that you care for another person, as it can feel great and improve the other person's mood. Ending the hug too early may make both of you feel awkward. If you feel comfortable, go along with it and hug until the other person lets go or loosens his or her hold.

Summary in Russian:

Если вы хотите обнять человека, посмотрите на его реакцию, настроен ли он позитивно? Будьте доброжелательны, когда обнимаете. Не обнимайте человека слишком сильно. Прежде чем отпустить человека, подождите пару секунд. Если человек чем-то расстроен или чувствует себя плохо, обнимите его дольше обычного.


Article in English: If the person feels that they need more emotional support, it’s likely that something is imbalanced in their life. This is a great opportunity to help them explore what actions they can take to become emotionally centered again.  The person may not have the answer immediately and that’s okay. Don’t push for a decision right away. They may just need to be heard and feel validated first. Ask “what-if” questions. “What-if” questions will help the person brainstorm possible action steps that they may not have considered before.  Presenting options in a question format is less threatening and the person probably won’t feel like they are being told what to do. This approach allows you to give suggestions in a supportive manner without stripping away their power. Remember, you are not fixing the problem for the person. You are simply providing them support in finding the solution to the problem herself. For example, if your friend is struggling financially, you could ask, “What if you and your supervisor had a discussion about a pay raise?” Maybe your niece is feeling overwhelmed with work and home responsibilities. You could ask, “What if you planned a stress-free vacation for your family?” Any appropriate “what-if” question could be helpful. The person may not have all of the answers immediately, but it’s important to support them in taking small steps to resolve the problem.  Identifying the next step is important, even if it’s something small like the person agreeing to have another conversation with you the next day. People tend to feel more supported when they know that they have dependable people in their corner who will help them see the bigger picture.  Continue to support the person in taking action steps until the problem is resolved. It may be a slow process but they’ll appreciate your support. When a person is grieving, there may not be any specific action steps. People grieve differently and grief can last up to a year or longer. When you are supporting someone through grief, listening to the stories...

Summary in Russian:

Спросите человека, что он хочет сделать. Помогите человеку продумать план действий. Доказывайте свои слова действием. Регулярно связывайтесь с человеком.


Article in English: If the person flirts back, there's a good chance that they're interested in you. If they just nod, but don't engage, they might not be paying attention – or they might be scared they'll say the wrong thing. If they start acting nervous and fidgety, they could really like you and feel anxious that you'll reject them, but they could also be figuring out how to let you down easy. Trust your gut! It can be hard to tell, but your intuition can lead you in the right direction.  Bear in mind that some people are naturally flirty. Flirting back does not necessarily mean that the person likes you – it might just indicate attraction, or that he/she is especially outgoing. Try casually touching the person to see how they respond. Put your hand on his/her arm or shoulder when you're speaking, and sit with your thighs and shoulders touching. If the person seems to respond well to your touch, it might be a good sign. Many strong relationships have begun as simple friendships. If you become this person's friend, you'll learn more about them and they'll learn more about you. If the two of you are compatible, you might start to like each other. This can also help the person feel more comfortable around you. Try going out with a group of your friends and inviting the "Someone." This can make it much more comfortable to be around someone that you like. You can't necessarily force this, but you can ride the momentum if it happens. Bring up the inside joke again a day or two later, and see if the person remembers it. This can be a good way to gauge whether the person places significance upon your interactions. It may indicate attraction if the person pays rapt attention when you talk about yourself. He/she might ask you questions about your life. As you get to know each other more deeply, you might find yourselves talking about personal preferences and experiences that don't normally come up in conversation. If he/she listens and remembers the details hours or days later, then there's a good chance that he/she likes you.  Again,...

Article in English: If the person has already been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, then you may know all about the symptoms of this condition already. Bipolar disorder is characterized by periods of mania and depression. During manic phases, someone may seem to have boundless energy and during depressive phases, that same person might not get out of bed for days.  Manic phases may be characterized by high levels of optimism or irritability, unrealistic ideas about one’s abilities, feeling energetic despite getting little sleep, speaking rapidly and going quickly from one idea to the next, not being able to concentrate, making impulsive or poor decisions, and even hallucinating.  Depressive phases are characterized by hopelessness, sadness, emptiness, irritability, losing interest in things, fatigue, lack of concentration, appetite changes, weight changes, difficulty sleeping, feeling worthless or guilty, and considering suicide. Bipolar disorder is divided into four subtypes. These definitions can help mental health practitioners to identify the disorder whether the symptoms are mild or severe. The four subtypes are:   Bipolar I Disorder. This subtype is characterized by manic episodes that last for seven days or that are severe enough that the person needs hospitalization. These episodes are followed by depressive episodes that last at least two weeks.  Bipolar II Disorder. This subtype is characterized by depressive episodes followed by mild manic episodes, but these episodes are not severe enough to warrant hospitalization.  Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (BP-NOS). This subtype is when someone has symptoms of bipolar disorder, but they do not meet the criteria for a bipolar I or II diagnosis.  Cyclothymia. This subtype is when someone has had symptoms of bipolar disorder for two years, but the symptoms are mild. If you think that someone may be suffering from bipolar disorder, then you should say something. When you approach the person, make sure that you do so from a standpoint of concern and not judgment....

Article in English: If the person has been open with you about his addiction you must focus on being supportive rather than negative. It is difficult to admit you have a problem. If you want to help you need to demonstrate that you can be trusted and will not make fun of the person. A good support system will help the person experience less stress. It takes courage to admit you have a problem, so you can say something like, “First of all, thank you for telling me. I know that takes a lot of courage to do that. I’m here for you in any way I can help.” Being listened to and understood are key components to personal growth. The emotional experience of dealing with a pornography addiction will force a person to grow, which may be painful. You can help ease the person's pain by actively listening.  Put yourself in the person’s shoes. Learn to be compassionate and accepting rather than judging the person. Find resources that can teach you about being compassionate. It might be difficult to understand, but you can always try. Treat the person like you would like to be treated. You have probably experienced struggles in your life and know what was helpful to you, and what wasn’t. When people experience unpleasant thoughts and feelings they may turn to viewing pornography as a way to manage those feelings. Pornography captures a person’s attention and pushes feelings of anxiety, depression, boredom, loneliness and stress away. Unfortunately, this is only a temporary solution and does nothing to create long-term effective ways of dealing with those feelings.  Help the person determine if he has feelings of depression. There are online screening questionnaires that can help with the process. He may have been depressed before delving into pornography, or he could be depressed because of his addiction to pornography. You can ask him, “Are there some things that you’re depressed about?” You can use the same type of question to address anxiety, loneliness, boredom and other emotions he may be trying to manage. Cybersex or pornography addiction...

Summary in Russian:

Обеспечьте эмоциональную поддержку. Проявите сочувствие. Помогите ему определить его эмоциональные проблемы. Отпразднуйте его достижения. Признайте, что вы не всесильны. Следите за своим собственным здоровьем и самочувствием.


Article in English: If the person in question appears to have a conscience, they’re probably not a psychopath. In general, psychopaths lack any sort of moral compass. They will do whatever they need to advance, and they really don’t care who they hurt in the process. For example, a psychopath is unlikely to live by a "code" like others do. They may see no problem going after a friend's date or competing with a close pal for a job promotion, and gloating about it. Psychopaths have shallow emotional responses and do not react normally to deaths, injuries, or other events that would cause a deep negative response in others. The difference between psychopathic and typical autistic responses is that while autistic people may seem initially numb, they may melt down in distress later or throw themselves into research and ways to help. With psychopaths, there are no deep emotions hiding underneath. Individuals with psychopathy have a general absence of any guilt or remorse. Callousness is one of the primary characteristics used to describe them. A psychopath may feign guilt over bad behavior in order to manipulate a person into not becoming angry.  For example, they pretend to go into a guilt spiral over hurting their victim, so the victim ends up consoling them instead. Interestingly, while psychopathy precludes genuine empathy, people who have this condition are able to fake empathy very well. They cannot spontaneously empathize, but can do so at will (to charm others for example). A psychopath will never genuinely admit to being wrong or owning up to mistakes and errors in judgment. When pressed, they may admit to making a mistake, but manipulate others so as to avoid any consequences. Psychopaths are experts at manipulating your emotions and insecurities into causing you to view them as the victim. This helps lower your guard and makes you vulnerable for future exploitation. If the psychological resource of the victim mentality is continually combined with unacceptable and evil actions, you should be warned about this person's real nature.

Summary in Russian:

Подумайте о морали и личной этике. Обратите внимание на чувства и эмоциональный отклик человека. Присмотритесь к чувству вины. Подумайте, способен ли человек брать на себя ответственность. Понаблюдайте за человеком во время печальных событий.


Article in English: If the person really loves you, then the idea of you being in their future is an absolute given, not something that they would ever have anxiety or uncertainty about. If the person routinely talks about what you're going to do in the future, about what your lives will look like one, two, or even ten years in the future together, then they are probably in love with you.  True commitment means seeing a forever with another person. If the person talks about the future and always includes you in it, then there is a good chance they truly love you. If the person talks about what your kids will look like, where you will retire together, or where you will go for your honeymoon, then they may really love you. There's a difference between saying, "I like your new haircut" and "You have the ability to make me feel better no matter what." If the person gives you compliments that show that they really appreciate the important aspects of your character and personality, then there's a good chance they really love you. Your loved one doesn't have to shower you with compliments all the time — it's the quality, not the quantity, that makes a difference. Remember that there is a big difference between "Love ya!" and "I love you." If your special someone really loves you and tells you this much while looking into your eyes, sounding earnest, and not wanting anything from you, then it's likely that they really mean it. If the person undeniably loves you, then they will say it for no reason at all, not just because they need a favor or because it feels like the right thing to say. If your loved one really loves you, then they will really open up to you and tell you what they are thinking, feeling, fearing, and longing for. If the person really opens up about their childhood, greatest regrets, most painful moments, or most romantic dreams for the future, then it's likely that they like you because the person is so comfortable telling you about almost everything. If the person tells you, "I've never told anyone this before...",...

Summary in Russian:

Говорит ли человек о вашем совместном будущем как о чем-то само собой разумеющемся? Говорит ли вам любимый человек значимые комплименты? Когда человек говорит вам «Я тебя люблю», правда ли он имеет это в виду? Действительно ли человек открыт перед вами? Говорит ли вам любимый человек о том, что скучает, когда вы в разлуке? Видит ли любимый человек ваши недостатки? Уважает ли любимый человек ваше мнение?


Article in English: If the person really won’t go away, then you should talk to your parents about it. Let them know that you’re feeling threatened, or just really, really annoyed by the person who won’t leave you alone. You may be a little embarrassed telling your parents about it if the person really has a crush on you, but they can help you get rid of the annoying person and deal with the situation. They can make you feel safer and can even take further action to limit your contact with the person.  Your parents will know what to do and you’ll be safe in their hands. They’ll appreciate the fact that you went to them with your problem and will feel responsible for you. You shouldn’t look for the perfect time to tell them. Just make sure they’re not busy or about to run off to work and sit them down and have the conversation. And if it really can’t wait, then tell them what’s up. Your friends can also be a big help in this situation. Not only can they be around you more when you think the person who won’t leave you alone will be there, but they can also help tell the person to leave you alone and will discourage him or her from following you around.  Your true friends will be there for you through thick and thin and will understand that you’re in a tricky situation. They’ll make sure to spend more time with you and will see to it that you’re never alone if you’re feeling unsafe. If your friends are always with you, then the person will lose interest, whether he has a crush on you or wants to taunt you. Your friends can also help you see what the best course of action is. If the person you want to be rid of is a real bully, then they’ll tell you that you need to get more help than they can provide. If you gossip about the person or keep talking about how he won’t leave you alone, then it’ll get back to him. Not only will this make him angry or even more persistent, but he may even have the idea that you really do like him or want him to come around. If you didn’t, then why would you keep talking him? If you really want to make...

Измените свое расписание как можно больше, чтобы избегать встреч с этим человеком. Игнорируйте этого человека в надежде, что он поймет. Оставайтесь в безопасности.


Article in English: If the person who snores is overweight or has weight issues, they may want to consider losing weight with a healthy, balanced diet and daily exercise. Excess weight can add more tissue around the neck area and lead to restricted airways, causing louder and more persistent snoring. Drinking alcohol a few hours before bed can cause airways to relax and vibrate when sleeping, leading to snoring. As well, a heavy meal before bedtime can cause a restless sleep, full of snoring and shifting or moving around in bed. Throat exercises can strengthen the muscles of their upper respiratory tract and help to reduce or eliminate snoring. Suggest they try to do throat exercises on a daily basis, starting with 1 to 2 sets and then increasing the number of sets over time. Advise them to combine the exercises with other activities like driving to work, while doing housework, or while walking the dog. To do throat exercises:  Repeat each vowel (a-e-i-o-u) out loud for 3 minutes several times a day. Put the tip of the tongue behind the top front teeth. Then, slide the tongue backward 3 minutes a day. Close the mouth and purse the lips. Hold this for 30 seconds. Open the mouth and move the jaw to the right. Hold this for 30 seconds. Do the same on the left side. Open the mouth and contract the muscles at the back of the throat several times for 30 seconds. Look in the mirror to confirm the uvula (the hanging ball in the back of the throat) moves up and down.

Похудение благодаря правильному питанию и упражнениям. Отказ от еды и алкоголя за несколько часов до сна. Ежедневные горловые упражнения для снижения храпа.


Article in English: If the person who snores struggles with stuffed up nasal passages, they may want to try a saline rinse before they go to bed to help them breathe easily while sleeping. To clean and rinse the nose, a Neti pot or nasal decongestant can be used. Nasal strips placed on the bridge of your nose can help to reduce the volume of snoring, as they can adjust the nasal passages. They do not always help to eliminate snoring and are not as effective as a nasal rinse in the opinion of some. Shifting sleep position to laying on one side rather than laying flat on one's back or stomach will reduce the amount of pressure on the throat and help to prevent snoring. If there's difficulty maintaining a side sleeping position, you can sew a sock or a tennis ball into the back of their nightwear. This will cause mild discomfort when rolling over on the back during the night and help to keep the snorer on one side.  After a few weeks of sleeping on one side, it should become a habit and you can remove the tennis balls or socks in the pajamas. You can also use a snore pillow to prevent them from rolling over. People with a snoring problem can see their dentist and get a custom mouthguard to help open the airway and bring the lower jaw and tongue forward during sleep. Dentist-made appliances can be expensive, especially if healthcare does not cover it. Suggest they have a consultation with their dentist and discuss cheaper options, if necessary. If the snorer continues to snore despite adjustments to the sleeping environment and sleep habits, they may want to consider scheduling a consultation with a doctor to discuss a medical device or a surgical procedure to help with the snoring. A doctor may recommend the following options, including:  Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): This is a machine that blows pressurized air into a mask worn over the nose, or nose and mouth or whole face. A CPAP machine can help to keep airways open while sleeping, but it is mainly used for sleep apnea. Consider drawbacks, such as hindering...

Summary in Russian:

Предложите партнеру промывать нос перед сном. Порекомендуйте партнеру спать на боку, а не на спине. Попросите его обсудить с дантистом ротовые приспособления для защиты от храпа. Порекомендуйте обсудить с врачом хирургические решения проблемы.


Article in English: If the person won't even admit that they did something wrong, they're probably not going to apologize. Accusing them outright will often cause them to become defensive, but you may be able to get them to confess by asking them leading questions. At the very least, you might catch them in a lie that you can prove is untrue.  For instance, if you found out that your boyfriend was out with another woman, you might start by asking him something like, "Why didn't you answer the phone when I called you earlier?" If he says he was at work, you could say, “No you weren't, because I called there too.” If you know your teenager took cash out of your wallet, you could say, “Where did you get the money to go to the movies last night?” Be careful of accusing someone of something they may not have done. If they get blamed when they haven't done anything, they might start to feel like they might as well do whatever they're accused of. Playing the victim is an integral part of a guilt trip. Make it seem like this is a pattern of behavior you've come to expect, and certainly not one that you deserve. It's most effective if you bring up things that are similar to whatever you're trying to get the person to apologize for, but it can be anything that upset you.  For example, if you're trying to get your spouse to apologize for being irritable, you might say, “It's not the first time you've snapped at me. Remember the other day when you said...?" Only do this when you absolutely must, since it opens the door for the other person to bring up things they feel you've done to hurt them as well. Tell the person that what they did makes you question the way they feel about you. In some cases, this might very well be true, especially if what you're upset about is something very serious. Either way, make sure the person you're guilt-tripping feels like they need to prove that they still care about you.  Say something like, "How can you say you love me and then lie to me?" You could also say "It really hurt my feelings that you forgot my...

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: If the person you're dating is right for you, the two of you will share common core beliefs and values. While these values will vary from couple to couple, it is important to think about what is important to you in life and whether or not your partner also values these things.  Beliefs and values are not the same as common interests. For example, love, care, trust, and respect are values, while sports and television are interests. It's important to have common interests with the guy you're dating. Your relationship should go beyond amazing chemistry. Think about things you both like to do, and how you spend your time when you're together. Not having a lot of common interests isn't a deal breaker, but both partners should be willing to try out some activities the other person enjoys. Make a list of your interests and then put a star beside interests that you share with him. It's important to be clear about what matters most to you when you're trying to figure out if the guy you're dating is a good fit. Sit down and make a list of things that are important to you in a relationship. Some examples include spending quality time together, sharing similar life goals, and mutual respect.

Summary in Russian:

Подумайте о своих убеждениях и ценностях. Примите во внимание общие интересы. Решите, что для вас важно в отношениях.


Article in English: If the person’s mouth is upturned at the corners, but their eyes aren’t wrinkling, they are faking a smile. They may be trying to lie or they may be uncomfortable, or anxious. If someone keeps their arms and legs crossed and starts opening them or reaching out, that is a sign they are more comfortable with you. Also, if someone you are close to starts using a lot of new postures or expressions, they may be going through an emotional or physical change. This type of person will search for awards and leadership positions. They aim to win arguments and seek to manage or influence others. Watching behavior can show you a person’s motivation and helps to predict future actions. This type of person seeks acceptance from others. If a person sets high standards, likes to work individually and seeks a challenge, they are most likely motivated by a sense of personal achievement rather than power or affiliation.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: If the phone you are sending the images to supports email, it should be able to download the images as attachments. You can also send email messages to a phone using MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). Most smartphones these days allow you to check emails directly on the cell phone. Click the "Attachments" button in the composition window to browse for the images on your computer. Most email services support sending up to 20 MB, which is usually about 5 images per message. There are a couple different ways you can do this, depending on who you are trying to send the image to:  Standard Email - If you are trying to transfer the images to your own phone, enter your own email address. If you are transferring the images to someone else, and they have a phone capable of receiving email, you can enter their regular email address. MMS - If you want the message to be sent as an MMS message to the cell phone, use the recipient's MMS address. Click here for details on finding someone's MMS address. When looking through the chart, make sure to choose the MMS address, not the SMS address. You may have to wait a few moments for the images to upload to your mail server, and another few moments for the message to be delivered. If you're sending the images to yourself, the message should appear on your phone after a few moments. Make sure that your phone is on and has a network connection. To receive an MMS message, you will need to have a cellular data connection. The process for this varies depending on your phone, but generally you can press and hold an open image on your screen or tap the Menu button and choose to save it to your phone. Repeat this for each of the images in the message.
